Chapter 525 Doomed
"Ugh—my stomach hurts, my legs hurt, my lungs hurt!" Zhang Zhichuang lay sprawled on the lawn, groaning in pain. "What should I do, Brother Lu? Am I going to die?!"
Lu You paced slowly, relaxing her muscles. Without even glancing at Zhang Zhichuang, she casually replied, "Yes, you're about to pass away. Hurry up and prepare for your funeral."
"I, Zhang, a man of great wisdom who has roamed the world for over a decade, have actually fallen in a mere 1,000-meter race!"
Zhang Zhichuang lay on his back, his smile bitter and sorrowful.
"Fine, fine, let it be similar! But before we make it similar, Brother Lu, could you do me two things?"
Lu You stopped and gave Zhang Zhichuang a few seconds of his gaze.
"You said."
"The first thing I did was delete the browser history on my phone and computer."
"Sure, I'll also destroy the hard drive for you while I'm at it."
"Secondly, I've never experienced the thrill of being rich in my life. Could you transfer me 100 million?"
"You'd better just give up now."
Lu You didn't know if the Lu family had a hundred million, but he himself certainly didn't.
"Alas! Indeed, men are the most heartless!"
Zhang Zhichuang struggled to sit up, grabbed his backpack, and pulled out his phone.
A phone call was made.
The call was connected after a while.
What now?
"Xiyue, I'm almost there."
Oh, and then?
"I hope that before I die, I can hear you call me 'brother' once."
Next year, I'll go to your grave and shout your name a hundred times.
beep--
The phone hangs up.
Zhang Zhichuang fell backward, lying back on the lawn, his phone pressed against his chest, a smile on his face that said he had no regrets about dying.
"Xiyue still loves me the most; she knows what I like."
Lu You's body trembled, he rubbed his arms and looked around.
Why does it suddenly feel a bit cold?
……
At the 800-meter starting line.
Tang Wan assumed a standing starting position, looking straight ahead.
The heart seemed to anticipate a period of high-intensity operation ahead, and began to beat faster to warm up.
Park Soo-young pushed through the crowd and came to Tang Wan's side.
"Wanwan, we're best friends, right?"
Tang Wan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Shouldn't best friends stand together through thick and thin?
Tang Wan could tell that Park Soo-young's words had a hidden meaning, so she said directly, "Dormitory head, just say what you want to say, no need to beat around the bush."
"Don't run too fast later, wait for me."
Upon hearing Park Soo-young's words, Tang Wan immediately recalled the lung capacity measurement she had received not long ago.
She was just short of 3,000, while Park Soo-young was just short of 2,000.
Judging from a single spot, one can know the whole leopard; with Park Soo-young's lung capacity, her physical fitness is definitely not good.
"To be honest, dorm leader, I'm not fast either."
Park Soo-young frowned, clearly indicating her disbelief.
"Look at my physique, do you think I'm someone who can run fast?"
Park Soo-young glanced at Tang Wan's breasts and then at her buttocks, her trust level soaring from 20% to 80%.
“Let’s team up.” Park Soo-young patted Tang Wan on the shoulder with a bright smile. “No matter how fast others run, we’ll run slowly. Finishing the race is victory.”
"Uh-huh."
About half a minute.
A boy shouted for everyone to get ready, and then a gunshot rang out.
A huge crowd began to run, surging from the curved starting line toward the inner track.
For the first 100 meters, everyone had plenty of energy, and although some were fast and some were slow, the overall difference was not significant.
Entering the second bend, the race begins to test physical fitness.
Several players who had been charging forward exhausted their limited energy, showing signs of weakness and were overtaken one after another, quickly falling to the back of the pack.
There was also a tall and thin superhuman who seemed to have inexhaustible strength, still running forward at the initial speed, leaving everyone else in the dust.
Watching the receding figures, Tang Wan, who was in the middle of the group, couldn't help but marvel.
So perverted!
With this kind of talent, why not participate in the Olympics to shine and win glory for the country? What kind of nonsense is it to use it to blast fish in a pond?
After silently reflecting for a few seconds, Tang Wan stopped thinking about it.
Thinking also takes energy, and she doesn't have that much energy right now, so she's not wasting it on unimportant random thoughts.
Tang Wan followed her own rhythm, taking two steps inhaling and two steps outhaling, trying to maintain a stable stride and pace.
I don't aim for speed, I just aim to finish the race.
As the second lap approached, the blind student suddenly discovered a key point.
Huh? Where's the dorm leader?
Tang Wan turned her head slightly and looked back.
At the very end of the line, at the entrance to the straight section, we found Park Soo-young crawling at a snail's pace.
Ah this...
Tang Wan had considered that Park Soo-young would run slowly, but the extent to which she ran was still beyond her expectations.
Time passes little by little.
Before she knew it, only the last 200 meters of the 800-meter race remained, but Tang Wan dared not relax for a moment.
The last leg of a journey is the hardest; the darkness before dawn is the hardest to endure, and the stretch closest to the finish line is the real test.
It tests both physical strength and willpower.
Tang Wan is feeling unwell all over. Her respiratory tract feels like it's on fire, her legs feel as heavy as if they're filled with lead, and a lot of lactic acid is accumulating in her muscles, causing a constant stinging pain in her nerves.
Deep within my mind, a demonic voice whispers incessantly, bewitching me.
You're already exhausted, give up!
It's just a physical test, no need to take it too seriously.
Many people have already given up, so why should you persist?
Tang Wan ignored everything, gritting her teeth and staring at the figure waiting for her at the finish line.
Hold on for just one more second.
Hold on for just one more second.
……
I don't know how many times I silently recited it, maybe ten times, maybe a hundred times.
After crossing the finish line, Tang Wan felt as if her lungs were about to explode, her vision was blurry, and her legs were weak and powerless.
Just as she was about to fall, a strong and powerful hand caught her firmly.
"Walk for a while first, let your heart rate slow down before sitting down."
Tang Wan was too busy catching her breath to reply, and let Lu You help her walk to the lawn.
Xiao Airen ran faster than Tang Wan and recovered quickly enough. After catching his breath for half a minute, he was back to his energetic self to take care of Liu Qingmeng, who had just arrived.
Tang Wan saw it all and felt envious.
If she had that kind of boundless energy, wouldn't she have completely drained Lu You?
Lu You never expected that even though she was exhausted, Tang Wan would still have time to overthink things.
Seeing that Tang Wan's breathing had stabilized, Lu You helped her sit down and handed her a bottle of energy drink with the cap loosened.
"Drink some water to quench your thirst."
Tang Wan took it with both hands and drank most of it in one gulp, with a lot spilling from the corners of her mouth.
Without any tissues, Lu You had no choice but to use the back of her hand to wipe Tang Wan clean.
"My Goddess, we're out here, please mind your image."
Tang Wan's chubby cheeks were deformed by Lu You's kneading.
"Image is just for hooking men. I've already hooked you, why would I need an image?"
"It can help me save face."
"I don't care if you have it or not." Tang Wan handed the half-eaten energy drink back to Lu You. "Here, have a sip too."
"No need, I've already drunk one bottle."
"Stop talking nonsense, just drink it!"
Lu You stared at Tang Wan for a moment, then said expressionlessly, "You just want me to eat your saliva."
"You know that, why aren't you drinking it?"
Under Tang Wan's unwavering gaze, Lu You took back her drink and took a sip.
"How is it? Is it sweet?"
"It's not sweet, and it smells bad."
"Oh dear? How dare you dislike me? You're not allowed to kiss me anymore!"
Just as Tang Wan was flirting with Lu You, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, as if endless killing intent was approaching.
Turning my head, I saw Park Soo-young alone on the bright red plastic track, her left hand on her hip, walking step by step toward the finish line.
In the final 200 meters, Park Soo-young simply couldn't run anymore, but her strong personality wouldn't allow her to give up halfway.
Therefore, even if it's humiliating, Park Soo-young will go through the whole process and then settle scores with Tang Wan.
Tang Wan pursed her lips. She didn't know how to read minds, but she could read emotions from people's expressions.
Park Soo-young's attitude clearly indicates that she wants to settle scores with her.
Tang Wan grabbed Lu You's wrist with one hand and asked anxiously, "Honey, can we go to the cafeteria for lunch now?"
Lu You also saw Park Soo-young's ill intentions, and that her target was Tang Wan. He couldn't help but smile, with a hint of schadenfreude.
"Yes, of course you can, if you don't want the 800-meter time."
"Damn it! All the previous physical tests were automated, so why do we still have to manually enter the 800-meter scores one by one?!" (End of Chapter)
