Chapter 254

Ran to the finish line.

Xiaoqi was still a little regretful.

She didn't come in first place.

It felt like she tied for first, but her actual score was still 1 second behind. That 1 second could also be because the other person had longer shoes, bigger breasts? Got to the finish line first.

Her whole body was also terribly overdrawn.

The short sprint burst buff, that is, the skill bonus, is a buff that always runs out at some point, and will disappear at that time. She didn't know if she relied on the buff or her own instinct at the end, she just ran desperately.

When she got to the finish line, Liang Jiajia and Lu Chao jumped down from the car to help Xiaoqi.

Unexpectedly, another figure went up first.

Li Weijin walked over and caught Su Xiaoqi who fell into his arms.

It felt like hugging a wet ball of cotton, without too much weight, the whole body soft.

This was the first time that Li Weijin saw the weak side of Su Xiaoqi.

In his eyes, Su Xiaoqi was always spirited, like the straightest bean sprout grown in a bean sprout bowl.

The first time he noticed Su Xiaoqi was during the military training performance. She was holding the class sign and walked very steadily and uprightly from beginning to end, he couldn't help but follow her figure and even regretted that he didn't participate in military training.

Then there was singing, calligraphy society, running association, English speech. She seemed to never get tired like an ever-spinning top, always being very upright and spirited no matter what. Be it the boring Marxist philosophy class, she could still listen with relish and interact with teachers by asking questions. For extremely difficult courses like calculus, she could also listen longingly as if it was a very serious and interesting subject.

She seemed to never get tired.

But at this moment, she collapsed softly.

Her whole body was hot.

He helped her onto the car next to him.

Today, Uncle Rong deliberately drove an Alfa Romeo, which can be said to be a professional nanny car with very comfortable interior space, but not as flashy as a Rolls Royce. After all, this was a group activity, parking a Rolls Royce here would not give a good impression.

The Alfa Romeo was much lower profile.

Little classmate Liang Jiajia had stars in her eyes, wow, the boy who helped teacher Xiaoqi is so handsome...too handsome to describe in words.

Li Weijin's looks, even Xiaoqi who had a strong will and a brain full of studying hard could not bear to look more. He was too beautiful, with an aura of arrogance and coldness. For Liang Jiajia, a little classmate who was only in junior high school and still keen on chasing stars, the damage was even greater. She almost drooled just by looking.

And Lu Chao also saw this young master, with a look of realization on his face.

He pulled Jiajia along to follow the main character. After all, they were the little assistants today.

Seeing the car not far away, Lu Chao breathed a sigh of relief and sighed again.

Relieved because fortunately it was not the Bentley last time. Seeing luxury cars, his hands and feet felt awkward and tense. He sighed again because it was not actually the Bentley. He had told his roommate that he had ridden in one before, but his roommate didn't believe him, and he wanted to take a photo to prove it.

From a distance it looked like just a larger van.

As a result, when Lu Chao got on the car, he was confused again. Big TV, sofa, hot water, milk and so on. Was this a car?

Xiaoqi was also a bit confused.

She was indeed a little tired, her body was terribly overdrawn. Leaning on the sofa, she didn't even want to speak, just waiting quietly for her body to recover its balance.

Uncle Rong silently gave way and stood outside the car door.

At this time, the staff responsible for this marathon competition also came.

Originally, the emergence of this dark horse in the competition who was also a local university student was very exciting. But the black athlete Jones raised an objection, suspecting that the other party may have taken stimulants and needed to test the blood. She also voluntarily cooperated with the test...

Even the domestic athlete Li Miaomiao was also willing to voluntarily cooperate with the test...

So things got a little tricky.

The organizers originally felt that since one was Enhua's student, they would just test her. But when they came and saw a butler-looking middle-aged man in Chinese clothing standing upright in front of the car door, and then saw inside the car, contestant #00697 who had just run swiftly leaning lazily on the sofa, and an exceptionally handsome looking boy dressed very delicately with shiny gold cufflinks on his wrists. There was also an LV strap tied around his feet, not sure what kind of new age accessory it was. He was pouring water for the little girl very attentively, although his face had no smile, his actions were very enthusiastic.

The staff who were used to scolding and speaking sternly suddenly changed their attitude. It became warm and sunny, very polite.

They kept cursing inwardly, it’s said that Enhua University’s students are rich and well-connected, but not to this extent for just a marathon race! With so many people waiting on her.

Then looking at those carrying cameras and backpacks next to them, they automatically became the supporting roles...

The staff politely explained the reason for taking blood samples - just going through the procedures.

The person to draw blood had arrived too.

Uncle Rong's eyebrows wrinkled slightly as he looked at his young master.

While Li Weijin looked at Xiaoqi and asked, "Are you afraid of pain?"

Li Weijin meant that if she was afraid of pain, then they wouldn’t draw blood... Xiaoqi immediately understood his meaning when she saw his serious face. Although she was afraid of pain herself, it was not that serious.

She shook her head and said, "It's okay, take it, don't take too much, I'm hungry."

She even joked with the staff.

The staff suddenly laughed out loud.

"No no, it's just to take a blood sample for testing, go through the procedures. It will be very quick."

To avoid any misunderstandings, the staff handled it very professionally with video recording of the entire process. Xiaoqi cooperated to draw a tube of blood.

After drawing the blood sample, Uncle Rong handed a bottle of warm milk to his young master...he would naturally not steal the limelight of his young master for such things.

Li Weijin handed the milk to Xiaoqi.

Xiaoqi seldom drank milk. If she drank it on an empty stomach during breakfast she often felt lactose intolerance, her belly making gurgling noises and feeling uncomfortable all day long.

But at this moment, there was nothing to nitpick over. She was extremely tired, even eating would feel strenuous.

She took the hot milk, drank it all, and unexpectedly did not feel uncomfortable. Her belly warmed up and it was quite comfortable, even felt a little sleepy.

She couldn't help but doze off, and vaguely wondered why Li Weijin was here.

She was indeed very sleepy. Seeing Jiajia still by her side, and club president Lu Chao was also there, she leaned on Jiajia to take a nap.

Little classmate Jiajia saw the boy whom she swore was created by the heavens, actually covering teacher Xiaoqi with a blue and white checkered blanket. There were a lot of H logos on it, looked soft, quite nice and comfortable.

She took a picture, intending to check Taobao to see if she could buy one too.

A little girl's brain circuits were still very special. One second ogling at the handsome guy, the next second already searching for blankets.

While next to her, Lu Chao still felt rather constrained. For some reason, facing a group of older brothers and sisters from society sitting in this luxurious nanny van, he could chat and joke around, but no matter how he sat in this car he just felt constrained and uncomfortable all over, not knowing what to say.

Seeing the little girl playing on Taobao, he craned his neck to take a look.

As a result, he saw the little girl searching on Taobao for blankets like the one covering the student, the same as what was on his junior schoolmate. Seeing the price of the first result - 19,800...he thought his eyes were playing tricks and counted the numbers again. It really was a 5-digit figure, nineteen thousand and eight hundred... rich people's lives were truly incomprehensible to average people like him. A tattered blanket, okay fine, not tattered, even if it was new, it wasn't worth this price! Almost twenty thousand... He could buy at least 6 blankets with 100 yuan at the wholesale market.

The marathon organizing committee was also actively conducting testing on their side. After all, the competition results had to be released as soon as possible. Testing for insurance so as to avoid ugly scandals and embarrassment afterwards.

And the 1 million yuan prize for the "National Speed" competition was in its first year of implementation, so absolutely no mistakes could be allowed.

The top three in the men's group had already been taken by foreign athletes.

Domestic athlete Wang Baifei fortunately got sixth place, which was comforting and celebratory. The top six in the men's group did not get completely shaved bald.

On the women's side, a Chinese player almost got first place for the first time in history. It was almost a breakthrough in history, an unprecedentedly good result.

In the end, it was a matter of a one-second difference. Among the top six finishers, there were two Chinese athletes who came in second and fourth place, which can be considered a historically good result. Moreover, both Chinese athletes broke the records set by Chinese athletes last year.

The biggest surprise was that the runner-up in the women's marathon this time was not a professional athlete, but a college freshman.

This student had not been participating in competitive sports for the first time. Just over a month ago, she took part in the 200m freestyle competition in Jingnan Province and won the championship.

When Xiao Qi was resting with her eyes closed, the follow-up reports had come out.

The rankings were also announced. For her failure to come in first place, the organizers were very regretful. Many people felt she lost out due to being too thin. If she were a little fatter and sturdier, she might have finished first.

It was said to be a one-second difference, but in fact it was not even a full second. They were more or less tied.

There were absolutely no issues with the inspection results for the women's group. On the men's side, however, the fifth-place finisher, a foreign athlete, had a minor problem as there was a possibility he had taken stimulants.

Seeing the results on the TV screen, Xiao Qi breathed a deep sigh of relief. Second place was pretty good. Her goal was the prize money rather than standing out. Being able to get the bonus and having a professional athlete get prize money along with her was great. Even now, they couldn’t avoid all sorts of testing.

Fortunately, Li Weijin's car was here today, and his staff members accompanying them looked very capable. The marathon event staff were also very polite to Xiao Qi. She felt like she was pretending to have power she didn't. She made up her mind that after the event she would collect the money, quietly return to school, study hard, make diligent efforts, try her best not to venture out and mess around anymore.
