Chapter 24: School Sports Meet
=======================
He Jingsu didn’t care. She was already used to it. Nestled in Bei Queting’s arms, she held her baby bottle and drank, her eyes darting around at everyone. After looking around, she didn’t see the two who had gotten married last night.
“Mom, is Grandaunt not up yet?” He Jingsu asked.
Hearing her question, He Ying’s expression stiffened slightly. She was reminded of her own wedding day. How was she supposed to answer this!
Jing Dan ate her breakfast, looking as if it had nothing to do with her, but her face was tense, as if she were afraid someone would notice her.
“On the first day of marriage, one naturally needs to dress up properly. And dressing up properly takes a little longer,” Madam He Yuan said calmly.
“Oh.” He Jingsu nodded, as if she understood, but she didn’t ask any more questions.
Not long after, Bei Yuan and Huai Sheng appeared before everyone. Bei Yuan’s face was slightly red, and she didn’t dare to look at anyone. Huai Sheng was also embarrassed, but her skin was thicker than Bei Yuan’s. Plus, she had been the clan leader for some years, so her expression management was still very good. She immediately put on a face as if nothing had happened and greeted them.
Madam He Yuan gave them red envelopes. The number of red envelopes was much, much less than when Jing Dan and the others got married! It was all because of the seniority. Bei Yuan’s seniority was simply too high! The only ones present who could match her seniority were He Yuan and Jing Shiyue’s group. Jing Dan’s mother, Madam Jing Li, was currently in some no-service area and had no idea they were getting married.
Looking at the few red envelopes in Huai Sheng and the others’ hands, Jing Dan smiled in satisfaction. It wasn’t as many as she had gotten!
After the wedding, He Jingsu immediately took Bei Queting to see the autumn scenery, catching the best viewing period. The two of them didn’t need a drone; they could fly in the air and see the stunning scenery.
He Ying was originally not very at ease with them going out alone, but she was eventually stopped by Jing Dan, who told her to relax. With their current abilities, as long as it wasn’t a particularly powerful demon, they would basically be fine. Even if it was, they had the ability to escape.
He Ying thought about it and agreed. It would be good enough if other demons weren’t bullied by them. So she stopped worrying.
He Ying and the others played outside for three days, and then they had to obediently return to school. However, after only two days, the school’s sports meet began to heat up. Every class was taking sign-ups and compiling a list of participants. The sports committee member was even going around with a list of events, begging people to sign up.
“Please, please, just sign up for one event!” The sports committee member was a tall, sturdy boy with a healthy-looking bronze complexion. His usually somewhat fierce face was now pitiful as he squatted by a girl’s desk, begging her to sign up.
“Wang Di, you know I have asthma. I really don’t know what events I can participate in,” the girl said with some difficulty.
Hearing her words, the boy, Wang Di, instantly deflated, as if he had remembered that this person didn’t even have to participate in running during PE class.
“Why don’t you go ask He Jingsu? You won’t even ask someone who can take on three of you, but you’ll ask an asthma patient,” someone said.
This sentence instantly made Wang Di’s eyes light up. That’s right! How could he have overlooked her combat prowess just because she looked so soft and cute!
He immediately turned and went to beg He Jingsu, saying pitifully, “Junior He, just sign up for a few events. Let your heroic posture be displayed on the entire field!”
He Jingsu looked at him silently, then directly refused, “No!”
She finally had a sports meet where she didn’t have to go to class. Of course, she was going to spend it with Beibei!
“Junior He! Junior He!” The sports committee member immediately looked mournful. “I’ll kneel and beg you, okay! Please sign up for some! Don’t you want Bei Queting to see your heroic posture as you crush the other students on the field?!”
“At that time, Bei Queting’s eyes will be completely amazed by you!”
“!”
He Jingsu looked at him. That way, Beibei’s eyes will be all on me?
Seeing her like this, the sports committee member knew he had a chance. He quickly took out the sign-up sheet and pressed his advantage, eventually tricking He Jingsu into signing up for many events.
The others who saw his operation couldn’t help but give him a thumbs-up, secretly thinking, Nice.
If you said he was smart, he didn’t think of He Jingsu at first. If you said he wasn’t smart, he knew to use Bei Queting to tempt He Jingsu. And look, it worked like a charm.
If they said they weren’t in a relationship, who would believe it!
They certainly wouldn’t!
They definitely had some secret relationship!
The school forum once again became lively.
By the time Bei Queting found out that He Jingsu had signed up for so many events, it was too late. The sign-up sheet had already been submitted.
“Why did you sign up for so many events?” Bei Queting was very puzzled. “With so many events, you’ll have to be running around constantly.”
“I want Beibei to see me!” He Jingsu said as if it were a matter of course.
Hearing her words, Bei Queting couldn’t help but laugh. But after laughing, she felt a little sour. She smiled at He Jingsu and said, “I’m always looking at you.”
No matter how many people were there, her gaze was always only on her.
He Jingsu laughed happily, her large eyes curving into two crescents.
Bei Queting sighed inwardly. Fortunately, she hadn’t signed up for many events, so she could act as He Jingsu’s support crew.
This sports meet was equivalent to the last one for the third-year students, so even the busy third-year students were allowed to participate to relax their nerves.
No longer having to study day and night, Hai Yuesheng stuck to Qiu Si’s side, running with her.
Qiu Si felt shy about her behavior but didn’t push her away, letting her chatter on beside her.
After evening self-study, He Jingsu also came to the track to run. Although the events were basically a piece of cake for her, seeing everyone else practicing, she felt she should probably participate a little too.
Bei Queting sat on the stands, her gaze following He Jingsu.
“Bei Queting?”
Bei Queting turned around and saw the student council president, Zhang Shu, standing behind her. She politely called out, “President.”
“You’re not in the student council anymore. You can just call me senior,” Zhang Shu said, sitting down next to Bei Queting and handing her a bottle of water.
“No, thank you. I brought my own,” Bei Queting said, gesturing to the water beside her.
Seeing this, Zhang Shu didn’t insist. He looked at Bei Queting’s face, which seemed to glow even in the night, and suddenly started to feel nervous.
“Junior, you know I’m about to graduate.”
“Mhm, I wish you success in getting into your desired school,” Bei Queting said politely.
Seeing that Bei Queting still didn’t seem to understand, Zhang Shu turned to face her, his expression serious. “I’m about to graduate, and I don’t want to leave with any regrets. So there’s something I have to tell you.”
Bei Queting looked up at him.
He Jingsu, who was running on the other side, noticed that someone had appeared next to Bei Queting. At first, she didn’t think much of it, but when she saw the boy turn to face Bei Queting, she instinctively frowned.
Why is he still getting so close to Beibei?
The next second, her eyes widened. Without thinking, she quickly ran toward Bei Queting.
How dare he reach out and touch Beibei’s face!
