Before the registration opened, everyone took the opportunity to warm up.
When it was time for the registration, Lu Qianling received a numbered uniform from the inspector. According to the number of the uniform, she stood on Runway 4.
There were many students watching from the sidelines. They were all cheering for the participating athletes in their class. The scene was very lively.
There were very few people participating in the long-distance relay every year. It had already become the most unpopular event in the university’s sports meet. In addition, students nowadays rarely exercised and their physical fitness continued to decrease. For the sake of the safety of the students, the school canceled the 3km long-distance run for women and the 5km long-distance run for men.
Even after canceling the above two events, this 1.5km race was still a fearsome existence in the eyes of the students.
Most of the students who dared to sign up for the intermediate and long-distance running competition were from the school track and field team. Among the many athletes, Lu Qianling’s small arms, slender legs and height did not give her an advantage.
At this moment, the aerial cameras were already in place. The number of viewers online on the live-stream platform had reached more than 10,000.
The online live-stream was to promote and publicize the school’s atmosphere. At the same time, it also provided students and parents with a better view of the relay. It satisfied everyone in that they could watch the competition without squeezing in a crowded venue.
Most of the active people in the comments section were students who were in the same year as those participating. They were online betting on who would win the first place in the 1.5km race.
The field was the standard 400 -meter track. There were a total of eight athletes in this group. The students watching online commented the number of the athletes they thought were most likely to win. Only Lu Qianling’s number 4 was not mentioned.
[I bet on number 6, she will definitely win! Don’t ask why. If you ask why, it’s because she’s the most beautiful!!]
[Number 2 is clearly the best. She was the No.l runner in the women’s group last year.]
[Let’s bet on Number 5. Last year, she was only two seconds away from Number 2. She might be able to overtake him this time.]
At this moment, the two referees at the starting point and finish line were receiving the same instructions. This was so that they could time the students more efficiently. Suddenly, just before the race started, Liu Xiaomeng stood outside the running track with an umbrella and shouted, “Lu Qianling, you can do it!”
When Lu Qianling heard this, she raised her head and scanned the crowd. Soon, she locked onto Liu Xiaomeng’s location. She raised her hand and gently placed it on her chest, and her lips curled into a confident smile.
After the referees on both sides made the same gestures across the air, the referee standing at the starting point raised his starting gun. The long “prepare” sound from the referee was followed by the sound of gunshots, and the competition officially began.
As soon as the gunshots sounded, the athletes from the various race tracks ran forward. The students standing on the inner lane had the advantage at the start, and soon they were one step ahead of the other students.
After the students from the outer lane started running at a uniform speed, they gradually merged lanes.
Lu Qianling’s starting speed wasn’t too slow, and the distance between her and the other students wasn’t too big.
There were two people running behind Lu Qianling. Among them, there was a lower grade student who was half a head taller than Lu Qianling. On the second lap, the girl suddenly ran in front of her and said, “Senior Sister, you can do it.
If you lose to us, you will lose a lot of face.”
Lu Qianling looked at her with a fake smile. “Thank you for your reminder.”
In the second round, Lu Qianling became the last in the entire venue.
On the other side of the field was the auditorium. The shaded area was filled with students. Seeing Lu Qianling running in last place, the students of Class Two were a little anxious.
“Can this Lu Qianling do it? No matter how bad our results were last time, it wasn’t this bad, right?”
“She’s really… a disgrace to Year Two Class Two.”
It was not until the third round that Lu Qianling began to exert her strength and slowly surpassed the students in front of her.
By the end of the third lap, Lu Qianling had completely run ahead of everyone and was sprinting the remaining 300 meters with all her might.
Seeing this god-level reversal, both the online and offline audiences were shocked.
“Am I seeing things? Is that… Lu Qianling?”
Liu Xiaomeng: “You didn’t see wrongly, she is Lu Qianling.”
[F*ck!! Who is this Number 4? She actually got first place at the end?]
[Is the storage capacity of this small body that big? It doesn’t feel like she needs to expend much effort to sprint.]
[No way! No. 2 and No. 5 are athletes of the school’s track and field team. Why are they following behind the butt of a little nobody?]
Seeing Lu Qianling running in front, the two students behind also sped up, wanting to overtake Lu Qianling in the last few hundred meters. But no matter how they chased, they maintained a distance of nearly six feet from Lu Qianling.
Seeing that Lu Qianling was about to reach the finish line, Liu Xiaomeng and the Sports Administration Committee member were already waiting for her at the side.
Seeing that the finish line was right in front of her and Liu Xiaomeng was also waving at her, Lu Qianling sped up a little and used the last of her strength to cross the finish line.
The red ribbon on Lu Qianling’s waist followed her as she ran for a few meters past the finish line and floated behind her. There was a burst of excited cheers from the audience celebrating her win.
Liu Xiaomeng threw down the umbrella in her hand and rushed directly to Lu Qianling to hug her. “You scared me to death. When you came in last just now, you don’t know how nervous I was… It’s great! We got first place.”
Lu Qianling was a little out of breath after running. Her cheeks were red and there was a lot of sweat on her forehead. “I did it on purpose to make them let down their guard and then catch them off guard.”
In the end, Lu Qianling won the first prize in the women’s 1.5km relay with a time of 4 minutes and 37 seconds.
“Lu Qianling, did you cheat? How could you finish the race in 4 minutes and 37 seconds?” For the track and field team to run the 1.5km as fast as Lu Qianling is a rare occurrence as well.
“The aerial camera followed me the whole time. What do you mean I cheated?”
Lu Qianling looked up at the girl next to her and said slyly, “A top student can
control his score, and I can control my speed. Are you envious?”
If it weren’t for the fact that she was delaying time in the first two laps, she might really have been able to run for 4 minutes and 30 seconds.
At the live-stream venue of the variety show.
Today was the second day of business for the guests. Saturday was quite busy at every time of the day.
Meng Chuyuan delivered more than six meals this morning.
In the afternoon, the weather was a little hot, and there were especially many customers making online and offline orders. The sales of milk tea increased immediately.
Some customers chose to stay in the shop to drink milk tea. Not only did they want to make use of the free wifi, but they also enjoyed the service of the guests of the variety show.
In the afternoon, there were a lot of accumulated take-out orders that Meng Chuyuan needed to deliver. The only thing that made her unhappy was that the sun outside was a little warm. This round trip was enough to make her sweat.
“It’s so far.” After getting a new order for milk tea, Meng Chuyuan felt that the destination was very far away when she saw that the address was two kilometers away.
Lu Jinsen happened to hear her complaints and subconsciously added, deliver it.”
Meng Chuyuan looked up at him. “You don’t know how to ride a bike.”
“Who said I don’t know how to ride?” He came out of the counter and skillfully found the key to the electric scooter. Then, he walked out of the shop with the bag of milk tea.
[Sister Meng’s incredulous expression is very similar to the one I had when I questioned Lu Jinsen yesterday.]
[Not bad. This stinky brother finally knows how to feel sorry for his sister-in-law..]
