Chapter 35
"Go back." Now that we know the answer, there's no need to stay here any longer.
He just didn't expect that some people, who thought they were very clever, would be outsmarted by their own cleverness. Now that they even have evidence, it has saved him a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Originally, he was worried that even if Shen Ting'a Zhao Huizhen knew that Shen Anya's biological parents were the real culprits behind all this, they might forgive her because Shen Anya was an infant at the time and knew nothing.
Now it seems his worries were completely unnecessary.
Meanwhile, at Jingbei International School, the competition had reached its climax.
"Luoluo, Luo Luo! Go, Luoluo! You're number one, hang in there, you're almost at the finish line!" Qin Shiyue's voice was louder than anyone else's, as if she had a megaphone.
Even though it was Shen Luoluo running, she was more nervous than if she were running herself; her palms were sweaty.
That's right, this is their class's last event of the day, the Girls' 800-Meter Race. If Shen Luoluo wins first place, it will be their second first place today.
The first event was, of course, their team's 400-meter relay race. Although she ran a bit slowly, Qi Yang finished last...
Comeback
Success! We won first place without any surprises!
"Number one! Number one!! Shen Luoluo is number one!"
"Ahhh! Shen Luoluo!!!"
"Our class has won first place again!"
Qin Shiyue was still in a daze, Shen Luoluo had already crossed the finish line, winning first place in the girls' 800-meter race, surrounded by deafening cheers.
"Waaaaah, Luoluo, you're amazing!" Qin Shiyue rushed over, hugged her, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"Shen Luoluo, you're amazing! Do you know that you're the first person in Rocket Class history to win the women's 800-meter race!" The most excited person was Zhou Yiyang, the sports committee member.
Only he knew how hard it was to get first place. Most of the Rocket Class were good students who only focused on their studies and rarely put effort into sports. As a result, the Rocket Class had always been the class with the fewest events in the school sports meet. No one participated in anything else, let alone the long and tiring 800-meter race.
This was completely unexpected!
"Really, you're amazing!" Overwhelmed with emotion, she rushed over to give Shen Luoluo a big hug, but Qi Yang grabbed her collar in time and pulled her back.
Meeting Qi Yang's gaze, Zhou Yiyang finally snapped out of his daze, relieved that he hadn't done something he shouldn't have.
The girls in the class were still surrounding Shen Luoluo, screaming excitedly.
"Waaaaah, Luoluo, you're absolutely my goddess! You're so amazing!"
"That's right, you're great at academics, and you're also amazing at sports! Is there anything you can't do?"
"From today onwards, my goal has changed. Shen Luoluo is my goal now! Waaah, this is awesome!"
"Let's stick together and absorb Luoluo's superpowers!"
Shen Luoluo was embarrassed by their praise, "I'm not that good, I just practiced little by little."
"I don't care, I don't care, you're my goddess now, the amazing Goddess Luoluo!" The group of people were amused by her and burst into laughter.
Shen Luoluo looked at the girl standing outside the crowd, who was Jiang Nian, the classmate of the sports committee member.
Jiang Nian, wearing an oversized school uniform and black-rimmed glasses, hunched over, her head bowed, not daring to look at them.
Shen Luoluo looked at her. "Is there anything you want to say to me?"
The whole class looked at the girl and instantly understood everything.
"I'm sorry!" Jiang Nian cried and bowed deeply to Shen Luoluo. "Luoluo, I'm sorry, it was me, it was me who wrote the 800-meter story."
"I'm sorry, it's because I'm jealous of you. You and I both transferred from rural areas, so why did you get first place right after transferring, while I've always been hovering in the middle and lower ranks, living in constant fear of being kicked out of the Rocket Class. Why were you able to sit with Qi Yang and become friends with Qi Yang and Qin Shiyue right after transferring, while I still don't have any friends?"
"We're so alike, so why are you so amazing and outstanding, while I'm nothing?" The girl sobbed uncontrollably.
Shen Luoluo sighed. She knew it. She replied, "Actually, I'm not that great. I got first place by staying up all night doing practice problems, and I ran first in the race because I went to the track to run every day after school..."
"I know, I know everything," Jiang Nian interrupted her, crying. "I know everything. Today, you made me realize that your excellence isn't because of anything else, it's because you are inherently excellent. You deserve to be number one, you deserve everyone's liking. You are completely different from me. I'm just a petty person. I overestimated myself. I can't compare to you at all."
"I'm sorry, Luoluo, I'm so sorry." Jiang Nian apologized sincerely. She didn't dare to hope that Shen Luoluo could forgive her, she just hoped that she could accept her apology.
"Don't worry, I'll go and confess to the homeroom teacher tomorrow. I'll voluntarily withdraw from the Rocket Class, and if necessary, I'll apologize publicly in front of everyone..."
"Alright," Shen Luoluo interrupted her, "Stop crying, I accept your apology."
"There's no need for the excuse of leaving the Rocket Class or issuing a public apology. Let's stay in the Rocket Class, study hard together, and not do this kind of thing again."
Jiang Nian's eyes were brimming with tears, and with a loud "Wah!" she cried even louder, "Luoluo."
Chen Jiashu nearby, couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise, "So cool, and kind of handsome!"
Qi Yang raised an eyebrow and looked at Shen Luoluo, agreeing with her.
After Shen Luoluo finished the sports meet, she received a message from her older brother asking if she was done, saying he was waiting for them at the school gate.
Chapter 35
◎A slap landed on Shen Anya's face◎
"Big brother."
"Big brother, what brings you here to pick us up today?"
Upon receiving Shen Jingyao's message, Shen Luoluo and Shen Jiayan immediately arrived. The two got into the car, and a faint minty fragrance filled the air.
