Chapter 381: Winning Another Round

The wind whistling past his ears became faster and faster, and Gu Fan’s heavy breathing suddenly quickened.

For long-distance running, the most important thing was to maintain stability and conserve strength to last until the end.

However, he could not care less now. If he kept letting Shi Man stick to him, it would only prove that he was not strong enough.

Gritting his teeth and increasing his running speed, Gu Fan ran two rounds while panting. Just as he was about to reduce his speed to give his body a chance to rest, a brisk female voice suddenly sounded behind him.

“Why aren’t you running anymore? Can’t you run anymore?”

Shi Man kept a close distance from him with a smile. When she saw him run away, she did not make a sound.

She silently accelerated when he accelerated. Now that he took the initiative to slow down, she had no intention of surpassing him. She adjusted to his pace unhurriedly and was especially patient like a cat catching a mouse.

Gu Fan turned his head in shock and realized that this woman had been following him. Moreover, after the acceleration just now, he was already physically tired. However, when he looked at Shi Man again, he saw that she was strangely at ease.

Was she faking it?

Gu Fan gritted his teeth, adjusted his breathing, and said coldly, “1 don’t believe you can last the entire 5,000 meters!”

He turned around and looked ahead, cheering himself on in his heart.

Now, he had only run 1,000 meters. He admitted that Shi Man’s physical fitness could already be considered outstanding among the girls, but the next 4,000 meters would only become more and more difficult. He did not believe that Shi Man could really run the same distance as him.

Gu Fan stopped talking and started to run.

Shi Man was bored. Her gaze occasionally swept across the worry on Shi Mu’s face on the rostrum and she couldn’t help but think of another man who might be paying attention to this competition elsewhere.

In the spectator area, everyone was shocked by the short competition between the two of them.

They did not expect Gu Fan to be so daring. In every sports meet in the past, Gu Fan would conserve his strength in long-distance running competitions and never use his strength recklessly until the last moment.

However, the speed just now had actually exceeded his speed in the final sprint. If they continued to run like this, the two of them would not even need to run the entire distance. They would probably compete to see who could last.

Shi Man, who looked thin and weak, could actually keep up with his speed easily. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Shi Man had not used her full strength just now, while Gu Fan’s condition had been mostly exhausted.

Gu Fan tried to shake off Shi Man in the remaining 4,000 meters, but she followed him closely. He gradually felt that his stamina was running out, and the soreness in his abdomen reminded him that he should temporarily reduce his speed and adjust his breathing.

However, Shi Man’s teasing voice was still echoing in his mind. No matter what, he refused to suffer humiliation and slow down.

Soon, there were only 1,000 meters left.

Gu Fan gritted his teeth and endured the pain in his abdomen until now, just to surpass Shi Man in one go and win the competition under the cheers of the entire audience.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them again, his eyes were filled with determination.

“Speed up! Gu Fan is starting his final sprint!”

The classmates in the audience who were familiar with Gu Fan let out an ear-piercing scream. The passion of the entire audience was suddenly ignited at this moment.

Everyone could not help but stand up and shout as the two of them passed in front of them.

Bai Xue nervously pinched Su Tang’s wrist. She couldn’t bear to blink as she stared at the arena.

When Shi Man passed by them, she even took the time to turn her head and make a face at them.

At this moment, Gu Fan had already moved almost half a circle away from Shi Man.

“Finally got rid of her.”

Gu Fan turned to look at the empty track beside him, and his expression became even more determined.

Heat flowed from his collar to his cheeks, and the cheers in his ears gradually faded. His mind went blank for a moment, and right on the heels of that, violent shouts suddenly exploded in the audience.

The end was right in front of him.

Gu Fan held his breath and was about to make a final acceleration sprint when a figure quickly passed by him, making him forget which leg to take next.

His breathing seemed to have stopped in an instant. He raised his head in a daze and looked at the figure that was getting smaller and smaller in front of him. Only then did he realize that the person just now was Shi Man.

“Damn, this is a monster! I’ve never seen anyone run so fast. It’s actually a girl!”

“She’s too strong. At this speed, she can even participate in the national team. Isn’t it said that Shi Man is a useless young lady? She can even bring glory to the country!”

“She’s too dashing, and she seems to be very relaxed. Look, she’s not sweating!”

The student with the binoculars observed Shi Man’s expression through the camera in shock.

The students beside her hurriedly borrowed the binoculars from her curiously. In the camera, the corners of Shi Man’s mouth were still slightly curled up, and there was not a drop of sweat on her face. On the other hand, not only was Gu Fan’s collar wet, but his face was also red..
