Chapter 31: The Competitor…

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

East Ocean University was very lively. The festive atmosphere was everywhere even though no lanterns or banners were hanging.

Zhao Jiayi and the other two got out of bed early in the morning. They packed up some food, drinks, camera, telescope, etc. They ganged up with their neighboring dorm rooms and headed towards the sports field together.

Hao Ren, on the other hand, put on his sportswear and his running shoes before he had a big breakfast in the cafeteria. Then, he unhurriedly walked to the sports field.

The Athletic Games was divided into two sections. Indoor events such as badminton, basketball, and volleyball were held in the newly-finished stadium whereas outdoor activities such as track and field and gymnastics were held on the sports field.

There were relatively more outdoor events than indoor ones due to the large space. Therefore, it was more popular too.

Since the school suspended classes for this event, it was mandatory for students in their freshmen year, sophomore year and junior year to watch the games. Basically, junior year students were to watch the indoor games while freshmen and sophomore year students were to watch the outdoor games.

Sure enough, almost every student was satisfied with not having to go to classes. They watched the games with snacks in their hands while chatting from time to time. They seemed as relaxed as if they were on a middle school field trip.

However, for the guys like Zhao Jiayi, it was way more interesting to search for pretty girls with their telescopes and cameras.

Xie Yujia, the Class President, was already taking attendance when Hao Ren arrived at his class’ designated area in his sportswear.

“Yu Rong!”

“Here!”

“Zhao Jiayi!”

“Here!”

“Cao Ronghua!”

“Here!”

“Zhou Liren!”

“Here!”

Since the Class President was taking attendance herself, they couldn’t muddle with it unlike classes with a lot of students. Not only did everyone show up, but they also appeared to be extremely excited.

An ordinary t-shirt on Xie Yujia made her looked extremely comfortable and refreshing in such beautiful weather. However, the highlight of her outfit was not the white t-shirt with the word “Fighting” printed on it; it was the sexy ripped jean shorts over her pretty legs. It made people assume that she was in a great mood today. The usually conservative Class President was wearing something so appealing. It made the guys’ hearts beat fast.

“Hao Ren, you are here,” Xie Yujia gave him a warm greeting.

“Woah…!” The guys kicked up a fuss seeing the unusual greeting.

“Woah what! You can go attend the games too if you are capable!” Xie Yujia scolded the guys with her stern Class President face.

Her smooth hair was tied up behind her, revealing her long neck and soft shoulders. Her face looked as smooth as a freshly peeled egg under the sunshine. She looked very beautiful even though there was no makeup on her at all; the charm she had wasn’t seductive at all.

However, the guys weren’t frightened by her today. Instead, they got even more unscrupulous.

“Good luck today!” Xie Yujia stepped up and adjusted Hao Ren’s collar.

“Wow…!” The guys were yelling in surprise as they saw Xie Yujia’s move.

Even a few guys from the nearby class joined them. Although Xie Yujia kept a very low profile, she was still one of the prettiest girls in their major.

Hao Ren got a bit embarrassed and stepped back. “Ok, I’ll try my best.”

“Class President! I want to run the 1500-meter race too!”

“Count me in as well!”

“Me too!”

The guys shouted in jealousy and envy.

“Humph! You weren’t so proactive when you were supposed to, and now you are starting to bluff!” Xue Yujia glimpsed at them.

“I was on the list, Class President! I want you to adjust my collar too!” Zhao Jiayi jumped up and cried out.

Hao Ren remembered clearly that Xue Yujia randomly put in Zhao Jiayi’s name since no one else enrolled. Now he was taking advantage of it to tease Xie Yujia and Hao Ren.

Xie Yujia ignored Zhao Jiayi’s request. She stood up blushing and said, “Alright, now let’s go on with the attendance. Gu Jiadong…”

Her excellent figure was lightly shown under her white t-shirt. Although Xie Yujia didn’t want to show off, she was still a top-ranked beauty in the guys’ eyes.

Zhao Jiayi made a bet with the other three as soon as they got into university. They wondered who amongst the 38 guys in the class would be able to make this beauty his girlfriend. The fact was, in the past two years, not only in their class, but no guy in the entire school had a dubious relationship with her.

Compared to the most popular girl at the university, Lin Li, who always had rumors floating around, Xie Yujia indeed had a low profile. As a matter of fact, according to Zhao Jiayi’s scoring standard, that Lin Li from Class Three wasn’t as pretty as Xie Yujia on both looks and temperament. She was only good at getting involved with the influential and popular guys in the school. In other words, she was only good at promoting herself.

Lin Li, who was sitting under the sun-umbrella like a spoiled girl, overheard the noise and looked over.

She was a bit surprised to see Xie Yujia looking so pretty in her outfit. But she was then upset when she noticed some guys in her own class were starting in Xie Yujia’s direction too.

Xie Yujia did not intend to steal her thunder at all; she only wanted to dress up a little on such a pleasant day to cheer up the guys in her class. Though, indeed, Hao Ren was the only one that was participating in an actual game.

Lin Li glimpsed over at Xie Yujia and landed her eyes on Hao Ren who was in sportswear. Her expression darkened as she thought of something. Then she turned her attention back not to make people believe that she was interested in an ordinary guy.

The noise was becoming unbearable for Hao Ren who was in the Class Two area. He turned to Xie Yujia. “I’ll go warm up over there.”

“What’s the rush? The 1500-meter race won’t start until this afternoon,” Xie Yujia didn’t realize that Hao Ren was just trying to avoid Zhao Jiayi and the guys.

“All the long-distance races are scheduled in the afternoon so there won’t be enough space for warming up later on,” Hao Ren waved as he got down from the spectator stand by jogging down the stairs.

Xie Yujia lost her train of thought when she watched Hao Ren’s natural and unrestrained body walk down in sportswear. She only came back to her senses when someone called out her name. She then went on with the attendance.

“How come he seemed even more handsome after a weekend?” Xie Yujia felt a bit strange. She was worried that it was her subconscious that gave her the idea. “Is this what ‘Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder’ means?” She wondered.

When Hao Ren got to the track, Huang Xujie entered the sports field from the locker room in his golden Adidas sportswear.

He did a short spring and stopped to stretch his legs. Then he waved in the direction where most of the girls were.

“Ah…!”

The girls in the Advertising Major, Business Major, and Finance Major screamed as if they saw a celebrity. The screaming continued one wave after another.

Lin Li who was in the Mechatronic Engineering Major also got excited.
