The school-organized sports meet, apart from having particularly stringent safety measures to ensure the safety of the little darlings, couldn't be compared to a regular sports competition in terms of its program.
The first event in the afternoon was the women's freestyle swimming competition, which Shi Qiuyu was participating in.
Although Shi Qiuyu herself wasn't very confident, when she competed, it was as if she had drunk ten bottles of energy drinks. After swimming just half a lap, she was already half a body length ahead of the second-place swimmer.
There was no choice; with two group points as motivation, she really needed these two points.
What motivated Shi Qiuyu wasn't just these simple two points, but also the fact that half of her classmates were watching her, and she couldn't bear the thought of embarrassing herself.
The training during this period had indeed been effective.
Originally, Shi Li thought that accompanying Shi Qiuyu in the competition was just an excuse, and she never imagined that Shi Qiuyu actually had this talent.
When Shi Qiuyu was initially selected, Shi Li thought it was because the other participants who signed up were too awful, and Shi Qiuyu was just the tallest among the short.
Seeing Shi Qiuyu take the lead right from the start of the race, Shi Li got excited and kept cheering for her in a high-pitched voice.
Shi Qiuyu, immersed in the competition in the pool, shouldn't have been able to hear under normal circumstances.
But Shi Li's screams were so loud that Shi Qiuyu simply couldn't ignore them.
At this moment, Shi Qiuyu could still spare a thought: hearing Shi Li cheering for her like this, without mentioning Feng Yunhe, was better than anything else.
For the competing athletes, the race time might not seem long, but for the spectators, it went by too quickly.
Seeing Shi Qiuyu reach the finish line first, Shi Li couldn't help but jump up very impolitely.
Shi Li was so excited that she started to act wild, pulling Fu Huixing, who was sitting next to her, up and shaking his arm repeatedly, "Did you see that? First place! That's amazing! First place! Did you see?"
The thought that appeared in Shi Qiuyu's mind was also "First place, that's great, two points."
"That's my bestie, she's super awesome."
Fu Huixing, whose arm was being held by Shi Li, stiffened and didn't respond to her for a long time.
Not getting a response from Fu Huixing, Shi Li wasn't discouraged.
She said with some regret, "We should have bought her a bouquet of flowers."
Shi Li hadn't noticed her own abnormality until this point, not until she went to meet Shi Qiuyu, who was the first to notice.
Shi Qiuyu was almost exhausted, but she managed to stand and receive the award, purely out of vanity, not wanting to appear in a physically challenged state on the podium.
Shi Qiuyu was wrapped in a large towel with a gold medal hanging around her neck.
Shi Li touched the big gold medal on her neck and praised, "You were amazing."
The smile of winning the gold medal froze on Shi Qiuyu's face, "Your voice?"
Shi Li touched her own throat and repeated what she had just said, "My voice?"
It was then that she finally realized belatedly, "Why does my voice sound like Donald Duck?"
Shi Qiuyu rolled her eyes dramatically, "With all that screaming you did earlier, even a stainless steel throat couldn't handle it."
Shi Li, "You heard it?"
Shi Qiuyu, "Yeah, not only did I hear it, your screams filled me with strength."
Shi Li said bluntly, "Half of the credit for this military medal goes to you, and half to me."
Having already strained her voice, instead of letting it rest, she was now bantering with Shi Qiuyu.
Shi Li's throat gave a timely warning, she coughed twice in succession, and then tragically discovered that she had lost her voice.
Given the circumstances, Shi Li and her best friend who had just won the championship performed a classic scene from a TV drama for their passing classmates near the spectator stands.
Shi Li's voice could only produce air sounds, "Baojuan, my voice~"
Shi Baojuan (Qiuyu) supported the newly voiceless Empress Shi back to their previous position.
After returning to her classmates, Shi Qiuyu received unprecedented treatment.
Everyone was praising her for being awesome, and some classmates wanted to touch the gold medal. Shi Qiuyu very generously handed over the medal for them to touch.
They could touch it freely, but with one condition - they had to return it to her.
It wasn't because the medal was made of pure gold that she was reluctant to part with it.
This was the first time she had won a gold medal, and it held special significance. It would be passed down as a family heirloom in the future.
This took up some more time, and then it was time for the men's freestyle swimming event.
Ignoring the few "white cut chickens" mixed in, the pool was full of long-legged eye candy.
Shi Li rested her chin on her hand, unconsciously drooling.
The swimming competition was a visual feast.
[The guy in lane three is so handsome]
[Hello, Mr. Tan and Handsome]
Shi Li couldn't speak, so her inner thoughts became more frequent.
Of course, these thoughts that needed to be censored couldn't be heard by others either.
Shi Li's inner voice had more penetrating power than her screams.
[I never noticed before, but Feng Yunhe's butt is quite perky]
Feng Yunhe wasn't easily affected by external factors, but Shi Li wasn't a normal person.
[Too bad he's not up to it]
Feng Yunhe: ??? That's slander, remember to bring that broken mouth of yours when we go to court!
Others: !!! This is so intense.
In an unnoticed corner, Fu Huixing secretly raised the corners of his lips.
Feng Yunhe remembered that Shi Li's inner voice had the ability to predict the future.
He was very clear about whether he was "up to it" now, could it be that some accident would happen in the future, and then he wouldn't be able to perform?
No man wants to be associated with misfortune, especially when it comes to the possibility of future impotence, and this private matter had been overheard by many classmates.
Shi Qiuyu flicked her bangs, thinking, "An even more embarrassing incident than mine has occurred today, haha thank you Feng Yunhe, don't worry, I won't like an impotent man."
[He can only have boys, isn't that the same as being inadequate?]
In the original novel's extra chapter, Feng Yunhe and Liang Rongrong had two children in three years, but both were boys. The couple really wanted a soft and cute daughter, but they weren't destined to have a girl. Even their third child, conceived in pursuit of a daughter, was a son. At this point, the two finally accepted their fate and gave up on having a daughter.
Feng Yunhe breathed a sigh of relief, at least it wasn't that kind of inadequacy.
Fu Huixing's lips continued to maintain their upward curve, thinking that a man who couldn't have a daughter was no different from a useless person.
In the competitive arena, every second counts. Even a few seconds of distraction can affect the race results, let alone Feng Yunhe being distracted for most of the race.
The result was quite unexpected for Shi Li. Feng Yunhe didn't win first place, he didn't even make it into the top three, barely managing to secure fifth place.
The first place went to the tanned handsome guy Shi Li had praised earlier, who was the class monitor of Class 7, with cute little fangs when he smiled.
Feng Yunhe's mood was very complicated, not because he had lost the championship in an event he was confident about for the first time, but because Shi Li's attitude made him unsure of how she really felt about him.
Before the sports meet began, during the motivational assembly, the homeroom teacher had told the class that friendship comes first, competition second. They must protect themselves and not get injured for the sake of competing for rankings, as that would go against the spirit of sports.
All members of Class 1, Grade 2 had followed their teacher's advice, and no one was injured.
Except for Shi Li, who became the only unfortunate one from Class 1, Grade 2 to visit the infirmary during the sports meet, due to temporarily losing her voice from cheering too loudly.
There were quite a few students who got injured during the sports meet, such as falls, sprains, or even accidental arm dislocations.
But cases like Shi Li's, losing her voice due to overzealous cheering and ending up in the infirmary, can't be said to be non-existent, but rather, it had never happened since the school was established.
