Chapter 131: Sports Meet

Chapter 131

After working out and sweating a lot, Chi Yan sent Chu Yang back to A University. On the way, Chu Yang felt that she needed to exercise more, "I feel like my body is still not in great shape. I think I'll start going for morning runs."

Chi Yan thought that if Chu Yang went for morning runs, then she wouldn't be able to come over and join her. So she suggested, "Why don't we jog at night instead? I can join you. That way, we can sleep in in the mornings. Or if you come to my place, we can run around the neighborhood."

Chu Yang thought it was a good idea, "Sure, that works too. Let's start this Saturday."

"Okay."

When Chu Yang returned to her dorm, Jin Yang came over with a form, "Chu Yang, you're back? The sports committee was looking for you earlier." Their class had mostly female students, and the sports committee member was also a girl.

"What's up?" Chu Yang had worked up a sweat and felt uncomfortable all over. As soon as she returned, she opened her wardrobe to get some clothes and prepare to take a shower.

Jin Yang handed her a form, "The sports committee wants to know if you want to participate in the sports meet. She said they're really struggling to find people. The school sports meet is about to start, and the committee is trying to recruit participants."

Chu Yang took the form and glanced at it, "Why me? Do I look like someone who can bring glory to our department?" Chu Yang found it a bit amusing because in her major, she was actually considered one of the more petite types, although that was just an appearance.

Jin Yang sighed, "Well, they really can't find anyone to participate, you know? The girls in our major are all so quiet and well-behaved. Those who aren't have already been recruited by the sports committee. Now they're short on participants, so they want you to join, whether you win or not doesn't matter, at least they'll have enough people."

Chu Yang put down the form, "Let me think about it and see which events I can participate in."

Nearby, Zhou Caicai chimed in, "If you do participate, we'll definitely come and cheer for you!"

Jin Yang added, "I can write some cheering lines for you!"

Qian Xin joined, "I can make banners."

Zhou Caicai raised her hand, "And I can give you flowers!"

Jin Yang nodded, "Whether you win or not doesn't matter, we'll give you our own rewards."

"Exactly. We can even set up our own awards ceremony for you."

"Hahahahaha."

Chu Yang replied, "...You guys are enough. That would be too embarrassing. I haven't even signed up yet. What about you three, aren't you going to participate?"

The three shook their heads in unison, "No way, we just want to be spectators. We know our own strengths and limitations."

Chu Yang said, "Winning or losing isn't important, it's the participation that matters."

Zhou Caicai added, "I calculated, and I might get my period during that time."

Jin Yang continued, "I'm definitely not going. I passed out once while running 400 meters before. No way, no way. If I just run, it's fine, but passing out would be too socially embarrassing."

Qian Xin chimed in, "I'm a sports klutz, even worse than you guys. The sports committee wouldn't even let me join."

"Hahahahaha." Everyone laughed.

Chu Yang took her clothes and headed into the bathroom, "I'll think about it."

Not only A University was hosting a sports meet, but the nearby B University was doing the same. When Chi Yan returned, she received messages about it from her class's sports committee members and class monitor, "Chi Yan, the sports meet is coming up. Are you participating? How about the 5000m? Or high jump? Long jump?"

The class monitor wrote, "Chi Yan, you have to participate and bring glory to our class. I'll have everyone prepare a cheering banner for you."

Chi Yan thought to herself, ...These people think she's an athletics prodigy? She knew that their department had even sent some athletes to national competitions before, and there was even a physical education department on campus.

Meanwhile, just as Chu Yang came out of the bathroom, the sports committee member Wang Lele came by with a sad look on her face, "Chu Yang, you're finally back. Please save me."

Chu Yang: ...

Wang Lele pretended to cry, "No one wants to participate. What should I do? I can't face the teachers anymore. Please save me, just participate in one event, anything."

Chu Yang asked, "Which event?"

Wang Lele glanced at Chu Yang hesitantly, "The women's 5000m?"

Chu Yang pretended to faint, "Sure, but you'll have to carry me through the run."

Wang Lele let out a dry laugh, "Haha, why don't you see which event is easier for you? We're lacking participants for sit-ups, high jump, 5000m, 400m relay, and swimming. I don't think you'd want to participate in the others."

Chu Yang looked at the form, "How about swimming? I can swim, so I'll sign up for that. But let me just say, I can only participate, not necessarily win."

Wang Lele quickly wrote down her name, "No problem, no problem. Participation is already great. Our main goal is to embody the spirit of sportsmanship. Do you want to sign up for a second event?"

Chu Yang shook her head, "No, just this one is enough. I can't do the others."

"Okay, one is really good. Thanks." Wang Lele took a candy from her pocket, "Here's one for you. I have to go call for help now." She bid farewell to the others and left Chu Yang's dorm.

It was the same situation for Chi Yan. Not long after returning to his dorm, the class monitor and sports committee members came to see him.

"Chi Yan, how about the 5000m?"

"Or maybe you can also do fencing? I remember you know that too."

"Basketball is a must, of course."

"What about soccer?"

"Swimming is also an option."

Wei Feng chimed in from the side, "Why don't you just have Chi Yan participate in all the events?"

The sports committee member actually considered it for a moment before shaking his head, "That won't work, some events overlap."

Wei Feng laughed, "Hahaha, you guys actually thought about it seriously. How many arms and legs does Chi Yan have? You think he's Sun Wukong who can transform into 72 different forms? At most, Chi Yan can only participate in five or six events."

Chi Yan threw an eraser at him and laughed in exasperation, "You're just as clueless as them. Five or six events? I'm afraid I'll end up in the hospital after the sports meet. At most, I can only do two events, like the 5000m and swimming."

The sports committee member exclaimed, "Great!" At least someone was taking the hot potato of the 5000m.

The class monitor said, "I'll have someone make a banner for you right away."

Chi Yan thought, ...No need for that. But before he could say anything, the class monitor had already left, afraid that Chi Yan would change his mind.

The next day, when Chi Yan and Chu Yang met, they discussed and realized that they had both signed up for the swimming event.

"How about we go swimming on weekends, and do evening runs on weekdays?" Chi Yan suggested.

Chu Yang agreed, "Sounds good. By the way, do you have your event schedule yet? That way, I can check if there are any conflicts with my events, otherwise I won't be able to come and cheer for you."

Chi Yan also considered this, "The schedules should be different, right? I'll go ask and check. The schedule hasn't been released yet."

"Okay."

On Saturday afternoon, Chu Yang was reading at Chi Yan's place and got a bit bored, so she went downstairs for a walk. Chi Yan had gone to visit his grandfather and wouldn't be back until evening for their evening run.

As she was walking, she saw Liang Huan getting ready to leave.

Chu Yang went over and greeted her, "Liang Huan."

Liang Huan smiled back, "Chu Yang."

Chu Yang asked, "Are you heading back now?"

Liang Huan shook her head, "I need to go to the city center for a bit to buy some things. Then I'll go back to school."

Chu Yang nodded, "Okay, you're busy then."

"Yep."

After a moment, Chu Yang turned and called out to Liang Huan, "Liang Huan?"

"Yeah?" Liang Huan turned around.

Chu Yang said, "Wait for me, I also want to go to the city center. I'll go with you."

Liang Huan smiled and nodded, "Sure, I'll wait for you under the tree."

"Okay, I'll be quick."

"Uh-huh, no rush."
