Transmigrating Into a Book, the Villain Becomes the White Moonlight!

17: Chapter 17 Su Shen”I’m telling you, Brother Su!” Zhou Feng analyzed with a tone that suggested the answer was obvious. ”If that Kamii guy hadn’t used that bird language to curse and harass you, would Brother Su have kicked him? There’s no way he would’ve impulsively raced him in a five-thousand-meter run!”

”Whatever he... whatever he does has nothing to do with me.” Lin Wan retorted subconsciously, but the string in her heart tightened even more, and an indescribable worry began to spread.

Zhou Feng didn’t notice her abnormality and continued sharing his discovery: ”I just asked Brother Su why he had to race him. Guess what he said? He said—’I can ignore other things, but not this one!’ Class Monitor, think about it, really think about it! What exactly was he referring to when he said ’this one’?”

These words exploded in Lin Wan’s ears like a clap of thunder.

Her expression instantly blanked, her beautiful eyes widening slightly. She stared unblinkingly at the figure on the track who had already begun to adjust his rhythm and close the gap.

It felt as if something had suddenly squeezed her heart, which then began to beat violently out of control. A sour yet warm current surged into her heart.

Her lips moved slightly as she murmured a few words in a voice only she could hear: ”That... idiot...”

”Brother Su caught up! He caught up!” Zhou Feng jumped up suddenly, pointing at the track and shouting excitedly.

The entire Class One crowd instantly erupted! Although he had started nearly five or six meters behind, in just a short time, Su Bai had used a seemingly relaxed but exceptionally steady rhythm to quickly close the gap. He was now running side-by-side with Kamii Ta-no!

On the track, Su Bai’s face showed none of the strain or panic expected from such intense exercise; his breathing was terrifyingly steady.

Kamii Ta-no quickly realized something was wrong. No matter how he tried—suddenly accelerating to shake him off or deliberately slowing down to disrupt the rhythm—Su Bai was like a piece of stubborn plaster he couldn’t shake. He precisely maintained his position right beside him; this was clearly a display of toyed-with ease!

”Tsk,” Su Bai even had the spare energy to speak, which is a major taboo in long-distance running as it consumes immense stamina. ”Is this as fast as you can go? This is the level of the school team?”

Kamii Ta-no looked sideways in shock and uncertainty, horrified to find that there wasn’t even a single drop of sweat on Su Bai’s forehead. His complexion was normal, as if he weren’t running five thousand meters but taking a stroll in his own backyard.

”What are you looking at your father for? Didn’t you eat enough? Run faster!” Su Bai’s mockery was like cold needles, stabbing into Kamii Ta-no’s eardrums and heart one by one.

Psychological warfare! This is psychological warfare!

He wants to disrupt my rhythm! Ruin my breathing and stride frequency!

Kamii Ta-no roared inwardly, forcing himself to ignore Su Bai and strictly follow the perfect pace from his daily training.

But the figure beside him and that continuous, impossibly steady mockery were like demonic music ringing in his ears, making it impossible for him to concentrate.

Is this guy riding an electric scooter? Why isn’t he even gasping for air?

One thousand meters, two thousand meters, three thousand meters...

A full four thousand meters passed in agony. Su Bai remained like a maggot on a bone, firmly nailed to Kamii Ta-no’s side without the distance changing an inch.

”Heh,” just before the final few hundred meters of the sprint, Su Bai suddenly chuckled. In a voice filled with cold disgust, he left a sentence that completely baffled Kamii Ta-no: ”Even in a novel world, you sakura person are still so disgusting.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Kamii Ta-no’s pupils shrank. He felt like he might be hallucinating—Su Bai, who was right beside him, had actually accelerated!

It wasn’t the struggle of someone at their limit, but rather like a seal being undone; his steps instantly became light and explosive, his speed suddenly jumping up a level!

He was pulling away—one meter, two meters—clearly and ruthlessly widening the gap!

”Su Bai! Su Bai! Su Bai!”

The entire playground was drowned in deafening cheers.

All the students from Class One, and even some students from other classes who couldn’t stand Kamii Ta-no’s arrogance, seemed to release all their pent-up frustration, frantically shouting the name of the one creating this miracle.

”He’s pulled ahead! Completely pulled ahead! God Su! Holy crap! He’s a beast!!” Zhou Feng shouted, his face flushed with excitement as he waved his fists incoherently.

In the distance, Mu Xue, who was about to return to the classroom, was pulled back by a companion.

”Hey, look! It’s so lively over at the playground. It looks like two guys are racing!”

Mu Xue subconsciously looked in the direction her companion pointed. Her gaze was instantly locked onto the familiar figure leading the race and the cheers of the crowd, unable to look away for even a second.

”Wow! That guy running in front is so handsome! Let’s go closer and see!” her companion suggested excitedly.

”No... I’m not going. I—I have to go back to class.” Mu Xue snapped back to her senses as if she’d been burned. She hurriedly lowered her head and refused repeatedly, her heart racing out of control.

”Tsk, you’re no fun! I’ll go watch by myself then!” her companion complained and ran excitedly toward the playground.

After her companion left, Mu Xue, as if possessed, quickly hid behind a large tree. She quietly peeked out, standing on her tiptoes, and gazed with a complex expression at the center of attention on the field and the increasingly pathetic pursuer behind him.

”He won! Su Bai won!”

Amidst the earth-shaking cheers, Su Bai was the first to cross the finish line.

He even had the energy to slowly decelerate over the last few dozen meters. Like a king inspecting his territory, he looked back at Kamii Ta-no, who was nearly a hundred meters behind and stumbling across the line.

”Amazing! Brother Su! You’re so damn amazing!” Zhou Feng was the first to rush up, so excited he looked like he wanted to pick Su Bai up.

As for Su Bai, only a few fine beads of sweat had formed on his forehead. His breathing was slightly rapid, but he was far from his limit.

He stood calmly by the finish line like a hunter waiting for his prey to fulfill a promise. His gaze fell upon Kamii Ta-no, who had just crossed the line and was now supporting himself with his hands on his knees, gasping for air like a broken bellows, his face as pale as paper.

”Kneel down and shout it,” Su Bai said.

Very few students from Class Two remained on the playground now; most of them felt they had lost face and had quietly slipped away.

The boy who had previously whispered in Kamii Ta-no’s ear bit the bullet and stepped forward. With a forced smile, he tried to mediate in a low voice: ”Um... Su Bai, how about... we just forget it? We’re all classmates, after all. Be merciful where you can...”

Su Bai’s gaze instantly pierced him, his brow furrowing slightly: ”Sticking your neck out, are you?”

His gaze then slowly swept across the remaining crowd: ”If anyone else isn’t convinced, feel free to step out and try me now.”

Dead silence.

No one dared to meet his eyes, let alone speak up.
