I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 120 If they are truly destined to be together, they will never be separated.

"What... is that all? Why don't you just not tell her? Or are you just feeling guilty?"

"Nonsense, of course I feel guilty... She made me her first choice, but after being rejected by other girls, I went back to her. Isn't that keeping her as a backup? How can I face her like that?"

"Alright, alright, as long as you don't regret it, it's your decision."

Zhou Heng shrugged, deciding not to argue with him anymore. After all, he was an outsider, and it was better to let others decide for themselves.

All I can do is offer suggestions, or he can lend a hand when I need him.

"Oh, right, I haven't congratulated you yet..."

"Your race was amazing. I'm so glad I didn't sign up. The guy in my class who trains in sprinting told me after he lost to you that you're a monster."

Liao Haomiao chuckled and patted Zhou Heng on the shoulder.

Zhou Heng didn't take his words to heart at all; instead, he kept observing his expression.

Because he always felt that Liao Haomiao was hiding his true feelings, using all sorts of things to cover them up...

However, since Liao Haomiao had already said that, there wasn't much he could say...

"Your match is coming up soon, right? Don't lose!"

"I'm not like you, it's normal for me to lose."

Liao Haomiao waved his hand and left first.

Zhou Heng watched his retreating figure, then sighed and followed him away.

After stepping out of the building, Zhou Heng subconsciously looked towards the direction beyond the railing and realized that Zhu Tao and the others hadn't left yet...

He was still there, looking at something, probably in their direction, but he couldn't see clearly.

The next event was the men's 4x100m relay, in which Liao Haomiao participated.

The race was about to begin. Liao Haomiao stood in his waiting spot; he was the last runner, so it was quite important.

Zhou Heng positioned himself in the best vantage point, ready to watch Liao Haomiao's match.

Then he realized that Liao Haomiao's final baton kick seemed to pass right by Zhu Tao...

Zhu Tao didn't leave either; it seems she plans to watch Liao Haomiao's match.

Although their affair has little to do with me, I still feel a little sorry for them...

They clearly still cared about each other, and they had been together for a year with a foundation of affection. Yet, they didn't even exchange a single word or say a proper goodbye before ending things just like that. It was far too hasty.

Yin Mengran appeared beside Zhou Heng at some point, gently patted his back, and whispered:

"Don't think about it. If they are really meant to be, they will never get separated."

Zhou Heng glanced at Yin Mengran and smiled slightly: "Mm."

"Go, squad leader! Go, squad leader!"

Hearing the sound, the two looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Liao Haomiao's class.

At this moment, everyone stood up, their voices loud and clear, to cheer on Liao Haomiao.

Liao Haomiao smiled and waved to them; their voices could be heard throughout the entire venue.

"He seems to manage the class very well and keeps everyone united."

"Yes, I should probably learn from him in this respect; he's quite remarkable."

Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran were both somewhat surprised; getting so many people in a class to unite as one was truly no easy task.

It seems like there are no teachers supervising their class. These students stand up to cheer voluntarily; no one asks them to.

"preparation!"

"Snapped!"

The race officially began, and the first runner sprinted across the starting line, completing their leg of the race amidst cheers from the other classes.

Then came the second and third leg, where the runners were neck and neck, making it almost impossible to determine a winner.

Therefore, the final leg of the baton became especially important. Liao Haomiao stood in his ready position, assumed his stance, and prepared to receive the final baton.

"Charge, squad leader!"

The baton landed in Liao Haomiao's hand, which he gripped tightly before sprinting off.

In the final leg, everyone gave it their all, gritting their teeth, their cheeks turning red almost instantly.

Liao Haomiao was in the middle among these contestants. He felt that he had given it his all, but there was still a gap between him and the people in front of him!

"Tsk..."

Liao Haomiao gritted his teeth, feeling that this was all he could do, and he couldn't catch up with the people ahead of him.

I originally planned to take first place, but now it seems I overestimated myself...

Liao Haomiao glanced around and realized he was about to pass by where Zhu Tao was...

Am I really that useless? I can't even put on a show of power in front of my ex-girlfriend?

In the fraction of a second that Liao Haomiao passed in front of Zhu Tao, he turned his head and glanced at her.

For a moment, it was as if time stood still. He saw Zhu Tao's expression—an expression full of expectation for him.

His mouth was moving too, and the shape of his lips seemed to be encouraging him...

"Depend on!"

Liao Haomiao didn't know where the strength came from, but his speed instantly increased, and the finish line was getting closer and closer.

He knew that it was unlikely that he would get first place, as others were about to cross the finish line, so his goal was second place!

As they crossed the finish line, Liao Haomiao was almost neck and neck with the second-place finisher. In that split second, Liao Haomiao leaned forward, trying to win the race by a narrow margin.

However, he was moving too fast and couldn't maintain his balance at all...

As if he couldn't stop himself, he fell forward and crashed face-first onto the ground as he crossed the finish line...

"what!"

When Zhu Tao saw Liao Haomiao fall, she couldn't help but gasp and gripped the railing tightly with both hands, her fingertips turning white from the effort.

"Monitor!"

Liao Haomiao's classmates rushed over to help him up.

Liao Haomiao quickly extended his hand and said:

"Don't move...wait a minute, hiss—"

When he turned over and looked at his legs, he found that both knees had large wounds, and blood was gushing out of the wounds!

Not only his knees, but also his hands, and even the bridge of his nose, were injured...

"Quick! Take him to the infirmary!"

"let me!"

At this moment, Zhou Heng appeared in front of Liao Haomiao, gently helped Liao Haomiao up, and led him away from the arena.

Liao Haomiao sighed. In the end, he didn't get first place, but only second place, and on top of that, he suffered such a serious injury. It was truly embarrassing...

It seems I'm not as capable as Zhou Heng; creating miracles is simply impossible...

Liao Haomiao, supported by Zhou Heng, walked with a limp, but his eyes inadvertently glanced towards the outside of the fence.

He saw...

Zhu Tao seemed to be arguing with the security guard at the entrance, trying to force her way in, while her friend Xi Manni was desperately trying to stop her...
