Hearing the students praise Ning Wangshu, Zhang Qi felt somewhat awkward.
He had finished every one of the four sets of push-ups later than Ning Wangshu. Add in the ten-kilometer run from earlier... Ning Wangshu had practically beaten him hands down!
Still, he had one last chance to turn things around: the final set of weighted push-ups!
Though Zhang Qi was already quite tired, he was eager to seize this last opportunity to make a comeback.
He wasn't too concerned about Ning Wangshu taking leave anymore. He just wanted to win at least once, no matter what. He couldn't afford to lose this badly!
As soon as Zhang Qi caught his breath, he immediately said to Ning Wangshu, "Let's keep going!"
"Sure!"
Ning Wangshu didn't mind and gave a slight nod.
The two instructors acting as judges saw this and spoke up. "All right, let's have two girls come up now."
After saying that, they looked around the crowd for a moment, then pointed to two girls. "You two. You look about the same height and build, so your weights probably aren't too different."
The girls they'd picked looked excited and quickly stepped forward.
Then Instructor Xu said to them, "You'll sit on your instructor's back, and you'll sit on this student's back. Any objections?"
Since Instructor Xu had assigned them directly, neither girl had any objections. They walked over to Zhang Qi and Ning Wangshu.
Ning Wangshu glanced at the girl beside him. He remembered her name was Shen Chuxia. She was short, just over five feet tall, and rather slender, which made her look quite petite.
He remembered her name mainly because she'd been the next person to introduce herself after him. On top of that, she was exceptionally beautiful, every bit as stunning as Lin Qingzhu.
