“Am I?” Gu Yiran said proudly.
“I’m just telling the truth. If you can finish within 18 minutes, the people on your side won’t have to train today. Otherwise, they’ll have to train for two extra hours. I think that’s very fair.”
Lin Yi turned around and looked at the people behind him.
“What do you think?”
Zhang Peng could not make up his mind.
“Are you sure you can do it? Based on the current situation, if we really have to train for two extra hours, Instructor Gu will toy with us to death.”
“I don’t think it’s a big deal. It depends on whether you believe me.”
“Then let’s do it. If we lose, we’ll practice for two more hours. We won’t die. What’s there to be afraid of?”
“What about you guys?”
Lin Yi looked at the girls and said.
“We’re not afraid either. If you say there’s no problem, we’ll believe you.”
“It’s done!”
Seeing that the few of them had reached a consensus, Li Xianghui stole a glance.
They were willing to follow him into such an obvious trap. These people were quite loyal.
“Since you’ve decided, I won’t say anything else.”
Gu Yiran saw Lin Yi and said,
“You can start when you’re ready. There’ll be someone here to keep time for you.”
“Let’s start now. Let’s not waste any more time.”
Li Xianghui walked forward. “This is not a standard track. One lap is about 300 meters. You’ll finish after running 17 laps. You can start when you’re ready.”
“Okay.”
Lin Yi got on the track, and the timer began.
“He started so quickly. One look and you can tell that he’s inexperienced,” Ding Peng gloated.
“Didn’t he just say that he hasn’t run five kilometers before? Naturally, he lacks experience. At this rate, he will slow down after one lap,” Zhou Xinghai said.
“In my opinion, not only will he have to slow down, but he will also have to stop to catch his breath after running for a while.”
“It won’t be fun if he gets out of breath. Then he’d have an excuse.”
“This isn’t child’s play. He can’t deny it just because he wants to.” Ding Peng smiled and said.
“In short, if he can’t finish in 18 minutes, he’ll have to train for two more hours. No one will entertain his excuses.”
Zhou Xinghai turned around and looked at Zhang Peng with a smile.
“Seriously, you people actually believe that he can finish in 18 minutes. 1 really don’t know what you’re thinking.”
“What does our belief have to do with you?” Zhang Peng replied forcefully.
Zhou Xinghai shrugged. “It doesn’t matter to me. After all, I’m not the one who’s training extra.”
“He’s here, he’s here, Brother Lin is here!”
While they were talking, Lin Yi had already finished running one lap!
“58 seconds!”
Zhang Peng and the others were very excited to see Lin Yi get this result.
One lap of the field was 300 meters. Five kilometers was about 17 laps.
According to this data, as long as he ran each lap in about a minute, he would definitely be able to finish in 18 minutes.
“Aren’t you guys celebrating too early?” Zhou Xinghai said.
“He only got this result for the first lap. Do you think he can do it again for the second lap? Don’t you have any common sense?”
Zhang Peng and the others became serious. No one paid attention to Zhou Xinghai.
Because he was right.
When he ran the first lap, he was full of energy and he was naturally quick.
However, he would lose his stamina bit by bit. By the time he reached the second and third laps, he would not be able to keep up the pace.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, based on the current situation, it seemed impossible to run five kilometers in less than 18 minutes.
“Brother Lin is here!”
“Brother Lin, go for it!”
“Come on!”
Lin Yi waved at Zhang Peng and the others before continuing to run.
“57 seconds! Brother Lin’s speed hasn’t decreased. On the contrary, he’s one second faster!” Zhang Zixin said excitedly.
“Two laps is nothing. I don’t know why you guys are so excited,” Zhou Xinghai said.
“It means that we still have a chance. Why? Are you afraid?” Zhang Zixin raised her head and said.
“I really can’t explain it to you.” Zhou Xinghai waved his hand. “1 hope you won’t complain when you need to train more.”
“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t!”
Soon, everyone saw Lin Yi again!
“Lap three, 55 seconds!”
Li Xianghui looked at the stopwatch in his hand. The students’ results were about the same as his.
In other words, after running for nearly a kilometer, not only did Lin Yi’s speed not decrease, but he actually got faster.
His stamina was really good.
“Lap four, 54 seconds!”
“Lap five, 56 seconds!”
“Lap six, 55 seconds!”
“Lap seven, 57 seconds!”
This time, everyone realized that something was wrong. Even Zhou Xinghai no longer gloated.
After running for two kilometers in a row, the timing of each lap were within one second of each other!
Was this a result that ordinary people could achieve?
After a few more minutes, everyone’s shouts got louder and louder!
“Brother Lin, go for it!”
“Three more laps, victory is right in front of us!”
“Lap 15, 58 seconds!”
“Lap 16, 56 seconds!”
“Lap 17, 59 seconds!”
“F*ck, Brother Lin is awesome. He actually finished five kilometers in 17 minutes!”
After running five kilometers, Zhang Peng and the others rushed towards Lin Yi and surrounded him, making him look like an Olympic champion.
“He’s really talented.” Li Xianghui said.
“He actually finished in 16 minutes and 15 seconds. He is really fast.”
After seeing Lin Yi’s time, Gu Yiran was stunned. The air seemed to have frozen at this moment, covering the heads of more than twenty people.
A person who had never ever run five kilometers actually finished it in 17 minutes!
Moreover, looking at his state, it was as if nothing had happened. In other words, he could be faster!
“Instructor Gu, I finished within 17 minutes. This time should be much better than you, right? Do we still need to practice?” Lin Yi said with a smile.
Gu Yiran’s expression changed. He felt like he was going to die from anger.
“You don’t have to practice today!”
Li Xianghui shook his head.
This was already the third competition between them. Little Gu seemed to have lost.
“Oh yeah!”
Zhang Peng and the others cheered. “Thank you, Instructor Gu. We’re going to the side.”
“You’d better have some self-awareness. Training here is to learn skills. It’ll be useful when you work in the future. If you skip too much, you guys will be the ones to suffer,” Zhou Xinghai said indifferently.
“Can you tell me how we will suffer?” Lin Yi said.
“You didn’t seem to be as good as me when we were doing sit-ups yesterday. If you think you’re better than me after practicing, we can spar.”
At the mention of yesterday’s sit-ups, Zhou Xinghai felt even more awkward.
“I’m here to learn. I don’t have time to compete against you.”
Lin Yi ignored Zhou Xinghai and walked to Gu Yiran, whispering,
“As a woman, being able to run a 20:32 is quite good, but if your size was a bit smaller, you might be able to shave off a few more seconds. Although there’s no room for an A-cup to get any smaller, with effort, there might still be room for improvement. I’m rooting for you, keep it up..”
