April 30th, the final day of Sports Day at Yuzhou No.4 Middle School.
The rising sun cast its morning light over the School Field as a gentle breeze swept through.
On the bright red track, students eagerly stretched and warmed up.
The large double gates to the School Field stood wide open. Carrying desks and benches, students filed in under the lead of their respective Class Monitors.
"The first event this morning is the 1500-meter race. Exciting!" Guo Kunnan said enthusiastically.
Shan Kaiquan said, "Nan Bro, something's off with you."
Guo Kunnan took a deep breath and answered, "Xu Yan is competing in the women's 1500-meter race. I'm planning to cheer for her from the Speech Platform!"
Shan Kaiquan was astonished. "That's amazing, Nan Bro!"
He had never expected Nan Bro to have such courage.
But Ma Shicheng said, "Not a good idea. It's too high-profile."
The last person to cheer that way had been Dong Qingfeng from their class. He had shouted countless encouragement messages for Yang Sheng from the Speech Platform, but it still couldn't compare to Jiang Ning seizing the flag and his godlike coordination with Yang Sheng.
It had all been for nothing.
Besides, Guo Kunnan and Xu Yan weren't even in the same class, and they weren't particularly close. It would be rather abrupt.
Shan Kaiquan said, "Ma Ge, you don't get it. Being high-profile is the point."
He went on about his dating experience with great authority.
Guo Kunnan nodded repeatedly as he listened.
Ma Shicheng quietly left. He had no way to communicate with those two.
He went beneath the sunshade, found a bench, and sat down to play games.
Wang Longlong filled two cups with water and set them on a desk, bringing along a bag of sunflower seeds as well.
