Chapter 380 - 380: Competition Begins
The results of the written test were out very quickly.
Shi Man and Gu Fan’s papers were projected on the big screen at the same time. Under everyone’s witness, Gu Fan’s Year Head personally graded them.
To everyone’s disbelief, just like every test Shi Man had taken in the past, her papers were neat and clear. Just looking at them made people feel happy.
The Year Head carefully scrutinized every word the two of them wrote. Under everyone’s held their breaths and focused gazes, he slowly wrote down the perfect score on Shi Man’s paper.
The lower-year students could not understand the questions and could only watch the commotion.
However, Gu Fan’s peers knew very well.
The teacher who set the questions this time did not show any mercy. Even they might not be able to get the last two big questions absolutely correct. Gu Fan had miscalculated a piece of data during the solution of the last question, causing him to miss the perfect score.
However, Shi Man’s answer was so accurate that no one could find fault with it. Not only that, but from the look of her examination just now, she actually looked relaxed and did not look troubled at all.
The senior students who had disdained Shi Man because of the rumors in the past had to look at her in a different light now.
Gu Fan was stunned on the stage. He picked up Shi Man’s paper in disbelief and read it a few times. In the end, he could only put down the paper dejectedly and admit that he had lost in front of everyone.
However, the competition was not over yet. Gu Fan was not prepared to give up so easily.
The next component was to be moved to the field.
The sports event led by the Principal this time was even more magnificent than every sports meet in the past.
All the teachers and students sat around the field and stared at the two figures on the track with widened eyes.
Just as Shi Man had said, although Gu Fan was annoying, he was still outstanding in other aspects.
To dress for the occassion, he deliberately changed into a suitable sports suit, revealing a straight and slender calf under his loose shorts.
His leg muscles were especially developed. It was obvious that he was the kind of boy who often exercised and had strict requirements for himself.
Looking at Shi Man’s casual grayish-black work clothes, she did not look like she was here for a long run.
The student who had thought highly of Shi Man just now could not help but feel worried for her.
Gu Fan was famous for being strict. He was strict with himself and treated others strictly. He would appear every time at the same grade sports meet. Moreover, as long as he was around, he would definitely win first place.
There was a natural difference in strength between men and women. When the two were compared, everyone couldn’t help but feel that Gu Fan was too ungentlemanly. He actually bullied a thin little girl in public. It would simply be an unfair victory.
Only the students of Class F knew how powerful Shi Man was. During that practical training, Chen Wei was personally pulled up the city wall by Shi Man.
Only he had personally experienced Shi Man’s extraordinary strength. Her strength was far from what she looked like.
With the whistle of the command gun, the noisy arena suddenly fell silent.
Shi Mu sat on the rostrum and clenched the armrest of his chair nervously. His heart was in his throat as the referee moved.
Everyone’s eyes landed on the two of them without blinking. The referee raised his brightly-colored chess piece and ordered the gun to suddenly make a loud sound in the frozen air. Two figures quickly bounced out from the starting line.
In this competition, Gu Fan originally wanted to give in to Shi Man for being a girl and only wanted to run a sprint competition, but he did not expect Shi Man to reject him expressionlessly.
At that time, she looked at Gu Fan casually and casually threw her coat to the girl beside her. She smiled at him and said, “No, 1 heard that you’re excellent at the 5,000-meter long run. Let’s compete in this.”
Gu Fan calmly adjusted his breathing. While stabilizing his rhythm on the track, he also guaranteed his speed. Soon, he throw out from his mind the lackadaisical expression on Shi Man’s face when she last spoke to him.
The corners of his mouth slowly curled into a mocking smile. Just as he was about to turn around and look at Shi Man, who was far behind him and was trying her best to catch up, he turned his head and met Shi Man’s smiling eyes. “How is it, Vice President Gu? If you’re tired, you can call for a stop at any time. I won’t despise you for being embarrassing.” Shi Man ran casually on the outer track and turned her head to look at him with a smile.
Gu Fan widened his eyes in shock. After meeting Shi Man’s playful gaze, his stable heart suddenly skipped a few beats, disrupting his breathing.
He hurriedly stabilized his heartbeat and turned his head to look ahead. After adjusting his breathing, he accelerated slightly and distanced himself.
However, he quickly realized that Shi Man was like a tail he could not shake off. No matter how fast he increased his speed, she could always follow on his right. Her face was not red or panting, as if she was not running at all but just taking a walk with him.
Gu Fan’s dignity as a man was inexplicably provoked. He gritted his teeth and increased his speed again, throwing away all his concernsspro. He only wanted to pull away from Shi Man at this moment..
