Heh~

What does that mean? Is he mocking me, or is he mocking those three?

Shi Yao pondered for a moment, but no answer came to her. Instead, another thought popped up in her mind: Is having that much money so big of a deal that you have to be so arrogant about it?

But barely thirty seconds after that thought crossed her mind, Shi Yao ended up slapping herself in the face: Fine, I concede that. Having money is indeed a big deal, especially since you can use that money to buy a mountain of the freshest seafood, top-notch delicacies, sumptuous tidbits, and juicy fruits…

…

In the days to come, Shi Yao’s life basically revolved around three activities—eating, going for lessons, and playing games.

These leisurely days passed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, the school’s Spring Sports Meet was already around the corner.

In the morning of the first day of the Sports Meet, the university students donned the uniforms that they had decided on as a class to attend the opening ceremony. The Women’s Relay would be held after that, and then there would be a break until the afternoon.

In the afternoon, there would be the Men’s Long Jump, Men’s Relay, Women’s 100-meter Sprint, and last but not least… the Women’s 10km Marathon.

The first three events had nothing to do with Shi Yao and her roommates, but the last one, the Women’s 10km Marathon, was the event which Shi Yao had to participate in.

While Shi Yao and her roommates were heading to the canteen together, Leng Nuan, He Tiantian, and Leng Nuan had already begun worrying about the events later in the afternoon.

He Tiantian: “That’s 10km! Even if Yaoyao doesn’t die by the end of it, she’ll still be crippled!”

Jiang Yue: “Neither death nor being crippled are acceptable options. That’s why I’ve been saying this whole time, we should just get Yaoyao to sit out of the event.”

He Tiantian: “But how can Yaoyao do that? We need to find a water-tight excuse so that other people won’t find out that she’s backing out at the last minute because of fear.”

Jiang Yue: “Why don’t we say that Yaoyao just got her period?”

“That’s not going to work. Yaoyao already used that excuse during the P.E. lesson two weeks ago.”

At this, He Tiantian suddenly turned to Shi Yao and asked, “Yaoyao, have you thought about what to do yet?”

At Shi Yao’s prolonged silence, Jiang Yue tugged her arms and asked, “Yaoyao? What are you zoning out for?”

Shi Yao shook her head calmly and replied, “I’m not zoning out. I just think that instead of worrying about these things, there’s more meaning in deciding whether I should eat mala stir-fry 1 pot or sweet and sour pork later at the canteen…”

He Tiantian: “Why does it seem like we eunuchs are even more worried than the emperor herself?”

Jiang Yue: “That’s right! Do you know that this eunuch here is about to die from anxiety already?”

Leng Nuan, who had stayed quiet the entire time, spoke up with a gentle tone, “Alright, you two should really calm down first. I already came up with a plan. Later, during the marathon, Yaoyao should crash into Qin Yiran on purpose, then fall to the ground and pretended you a sprained your foot. That way, it won’t be embarrassing for Yaoyao, and Qin Yiran won’t be able to work her fingers on the school forum either. At the same time, we can also get back at Qin Yiran for sneakily changing Yaoyao’s event!”

He Tiantian’s eyes immediately lit up in excitement: “Wahhh, Nuan. You really are my goddess! That’s a really good move!”

Jiang Yue: “If Nuan lived in ancient times, she’d be the consort in the Forbidden Palace who kills off all the other concubines and rises to the position of the queen!”

Leng Nuan: “Wrong. I’d be the one who poisons the emperor to become the reigning empress!”

He Tiantian and Jiang Yue directed a thumbs up of admiration toward Leng Nuan.

Then, Jiang Yue turned to Shi Yao and said, “Yaoyao, did you remember Leng Nuan’s idea? Let’s do it later in the afternoon and bring down that Qin Yiran!”

“Mm mm mm…” Shi Yao nodded to express that she heard what they said, then pushed her three teammates forward to queue up at one of the stores.

…

After lunch, they returned to their dormitory room, and Shi Yao began changing into her sportswear and sports shoes.

In view that Shi Yao would be going up against Qin Yiran later in the afternoon, Jiang Yue and He Tiantian had crowded over to help Shi Yao pick her clothes, just to make sure that she wouldn’t lose in the battle of aesthetics at the very least.
