The champion of the 110-meter hurdles race was ultimately won by a second-year student from the College of Science, although his speed couldn't compare to Liu Xiang's, the entire process was still quite impressive.
At the same time, events such as high jump, long jump, and shot put were also being held on-site. The large screen occasionally displayed the names and college information of students who had won places.
Zhao Yanzǐ watched for a while, eating most of the snacks beside her. She suddenly turned to ask Hao Ren, "Uncle, when are you going to compete"
"My race is in the afternoon," Hao Ren said.
"What kind of competition" Zhao Yanzǐ asked further.
"1500 meters," Hao Ren answered calmly.
"Just one" Zhao Yanzǐ widened her eyes.
"Just one," Hao Ren nodded.
Upon hearing Hao Ren's response, Zhao Yanzǐ pouted, "Really useless."
Dare you say my husband has to be an all-rounder Hao Ren nearly blurted out this retort.
"I've always been the top runner in long-distance races at our school's sports meet," Zhao Yanzǐ said.
"Alright, I'll come and watch you run next time," Hao Ren replied absentmindedly.
A look of displeasure flashed across Zhao Yanzǐ's face. Suddenly, she made a roaring pose: "You! If you don't get first place, you really are useless!"
Hao Ren was moved by this and suddenly realized that she had skipped class to come and watch him compete
The initial resistance he felt towards her turned into a slight touch of emotion.
But if that's the case...
"Before noon, you must go back," Hao Ren said to her.
"So nagging!" Zhao Yanzǐ frowned at her delicate eyebrows, "I’m here on leave!"
"What’s the reason" Hao Ren pressed.
Suddenly he realized that he seemed to be prying too much. Just a few weeks ago, he didn’t even know this little girl…
“I’m not feeling well!” Zhao Yanzǐ was almost shouting.
Thinking about her specially taking leave to come and watch his competition, Hao Ren felt slightly touched. "Alright, after I finish my race, you should go back quickly."
He thought that since he wasn’t an elder of hers, being too nagging was unnecessary. Back in the day when he himself was still in high school, he had skipped classes a few times as well, and once he got to university, skipping classes became commonplace. If you really wanted to be strict about it, Hao Ren didn’t have much ground to scold Zhao Yanzǐ.
"Whatever! So annoying!" Zhao Yanzǐ rolled her eyes at Hao Ren.
And the little spirit Ling by her side covered her mouth and giggled; she was probably seeing the fearless Zhao Yanzǐ being pushed to the brink for the first time.
She had been dragged out today by Zhao Yanzǐ. The reason she gave to the teachers was that she was accompanying Zhao Yanzǐ to the hospital. Knowing Zhao Yanzǐ’s background, the teachers didn’t dare to be overly strict with her. But Ling found it strange; although Zhao Yanzǐ couldn’t be considered an outstanding student, this was the first time she had skipped class.
"It's the 400-meter relay," Xie Yujia suddenly reminded Hao Ren. On the playground, several students were heading towards their designated positions.
Hao Ren also shifted his gaze to the field because he saw Huang Xujie participating in this event again.
Every year at Donghai University’s sports meet, the 400-meter relay was a major highlight. It not only tested endurance but also explosive power, and of course, it highlighted teamwork spirit. In comparison, the 100-meter relay was too short; you couldn’t enjoy watching it properly before it ended, so it could only be considered a warm-up event.
With Huang Xujie’s reappearance on stage, the long quiet stands erupted once again into excitement.
He deliberately rolled up his sleeves to show off two strong shoulder muscles. Underneath his short sports pants were thick and powerful thighs. Given his height of 180 cm, these robust thighs didn’t make him look squat but instead made him appear very strong.
This display of muscle prowess elicited another round of screams from all the girls in the audience.
"That guy wearing the golden clothes is pretty handsome," Ling beside Zhao Yanzǐ said, looking at the track and addressing Zhao Yanzǐ.
“Mm-hmm,” Zhao Yanzǐ nodded slightly as she looked over there.
"Little brat, what do you know about good looks or not," Hao Ren muttered in response.
It seemed to touch on their aesthetic sensibilities; the little sprite turned her head and glared at郝仁.
Zi Zhao pretended not to hear what 郝仁 had said, staring intently at the racetrack as if appreciating Huang Xujie's cool demeanor.
This made 郝仁 feel a bit sour in his heart. Although he hadn't seriously considered marrying Zi Zhao yet, she was still technically his fiancée, wasn't she
He didn't realize that when Zi Zhao saw 謝雨嘉 giving 郝仁 water earlier, she had similar feelings.
As a few minutes of preparation time passed, the athletes took their positions on the field.
The stadium was filled with cheers like "Go某某某" or "Go某某某 College," but the loudest and most synchronized were undoubtedly for Huang Xujie.
Damn it, a proper sports meet had turned into this guy's personal show. 郝仁 secretly felt annoyed.
Fortunately, there was a rule that everyone could only participate in up to three events; otherwise, who knew how many more feathers he would ruffle. Even 郝仁 himself didn't realize that his dislike for Huang Xujie had escalated into aversion.
However, speaking of which, most guys were unhappy with this arrogant Huang Xujie but dared not show it openly. After all, his father was the vice-mayor and he was the captain of the most popular rock climbing club on campus, while most boys didn't have any real contact with him.
Bang! With the sound of the starter pistol, representatives from eight colleges began to sprint forward. The atmosphere immediately became intense, with cheers rising like a tidal wave.
Compared to schools like Mechanical and Electrical Automation, International Business Management had fewer male students, so they didn't have as many strong athletes in sports. Huang Xujie was their star player, naturally positioned in the crucial final leg of the relay race.
The gap between International Business Management College and others widened after three legs were completed. When the baton reached Huang Xujie's hand, he trailed about twenty meters behind the first-place Mechanical and Electrical Automation College and ten meters behind second place Computer Engineering College.
This seemed like an unbridgeable gap. 郝仁 watched intently at the situation on the field, thinking to himself.
But then Huang Xujie, running in the outer lane, made a spirited surge forward; his golden sports outfit looked like it was generating a whirlwind of gold! His entire 400-meter run seemed like he was sprinting at top speed!
Two meters... one meter...
In the span of three hundred meters, he overtook second place!
Just one hundred more meters to go!
The distance between him and the first-place runner remained around five meters, just like in a 100-meter relay race.
It's impossible to catch up now, right After all, he had already sprinted for 300 meters. The remaining 100 meters couldn't be run like a regular 100-meter dash.
Hao Ren couldn't help but stand up and look at the track, feeling his heart lifted.
In reality, it wasn't just him; almost everyone on the stands had stood up to watch the final result.
Whoosh!
To everyone's surprise, Huang Xujie actually overtook the previous first-place runner and reached the finish line with a lead of nearly one meter!
"Wow..."
The entire stand went wild.
Is this guy human How can he have such powerful explosive power and endurance Hao Ren looked at the finish line in shock.
"He runs so fast!" Xia Ling, who was seeing Huang Xujie run for the first time, couldn't help but exclaim.
All the first- and second-year students from the School of International Business Administration stood up together, cheering loudly for their senior in his third year, Huang Xujie!
Huang Xujie, once again becoming a hero, simply took off his golden sports jacket to reveal his well-developed muscles. He waved the jacket around in his hand.
"Does he think he's the World Cup champion" Hao Ren's male classmates sat down one by one after seeing the result and complained unhappily.
"Huang Xujie! Huang Xujie!" The name of Huang Xujie was chanted in unison by over a thousand students from the School of International Business Administration.
Hao Ren also sat back down, picked up a bottle of mineral water and took a sip.
This guy turned their college's disadvantage into victory twice. In that sense, he did have something to be proud of. However, in reality, he wasn't fighting for the honor of his school; he was simply indulging himself in the satisfaction of winning and wanted others to cheer for him.
This could be seen from the fact that after achieving collective victory, Huang Xujie ran a small lap on his own without gathering with his teammates to celebrate.
Hao Ren watched Huang Xujie's performance after winning coolly, analyzing it calmly.
"You're going to race against him this afternoon, right" Zhao Yanzi suddenly asked when she saw Hao Ren looking unusually solemn.ujia and remarked, "Your aura" seems different too."Xie Yujia smiled sweetly. However, she was still wearing her usual simple style clothes, so she assumed Hao Ren's comment was just polite talk.The c...
