Jiang Yue chose a pair of sports shoes that Lin Jiayi had given to Shi Yao during her birthday. She said, “This is a good pair of shoes. There are a lot of celebrities wearing them at the moment, and you can’t even begin to imagine how they are popular right now! There’s a severe shortage in supply in our country, so it’s highly difficult to get your hands on a pair even if you the money to buy them. Wear this and blind Qin Yiran with your extravagance!”
He Tiantian chose a set of sportswear that Grandpa Lin bought for her during the Spring Festival. “This one is perfect. It’s got a youthful red color, which complements well with Yaoyao’s fair skin. If we comb a bun hairstyle on top of that, it’ll give off a vibrant and lively image. There’s no way Qin Yiran can match Yaoyao with that!”
Jiang Yue nodded in agreement, “Right, right! Yaoyao, this is the first time you’ll be standing next to Qin Yiran after what happened in the school forums. You can’t lose to her! I’ll help you do your makeup after this.”
“Yeesh, there’s really no need for that…” Shi Yao was bewildered by how much Jiang Yue and He Tiantian were fussing over this. “… For the sports shoes and sportswear, it’s a given that I’ll wear my older ones. I already broke in the older ones so they’ll be more comfortable, and those new shoes might end up chafing my feet instead…”
At this point, Shi Yao paused for a second. But after seeing that He Tiantian and Jiang Yue were already preparing their words, she quickly beat them to it and continued, “… I can’t wear makeup either. It’s such a hot day, so I’m definitely going to sweat after running a few laps. Won’t it look uglier if my makeup melts off in the middle of the marathon? Besides, we’re heading to a Sports Meet, not a beauty pageant.”
He Tiantian and Jiang Yue were still reluctant to give up, but at this point, Leng Nuan suddenly chimed in, “You two shouldn’t waste your time on this anymore. What Yaoyao says makes sense, y’know.”
While Jiang Yue was a little regretful that she couldn’t get Shi Yao to dress up beautifully, she still chose to respect the latter’s decision. Nevertheless, she still pointed out something strange in Shi Yao’s words, “Alright, as long as Yaoyao is fine with it. Our Yaoyao is beautiful enough to outshine Qin Yiran without any makeup on anyway, so I’ll just think of it as sparing Qin Yiran her final smidge of pride. But, there’s still one thing that I want to point out. Yaoyao, you just said that you’ll definitely sweat after running a few laps. Are you sure you can run the marathon? If you really do finish the whole thing, I’ll pay for all your milk tea this month!”
He Tiantian: “Agreed. Yaoyao, you don’t even have to get number one. As long as you can walk your way out of it, I’ll pay for all your yogurt this month!”
Leng Nuan: “+1. Potato chips, this month.”
Milk tea, yogurt, and potato chips…
Without any hesitation, Shi Yao immediately took the challenge, “Deal!”
…
Two-thirty in the afternoon, all of the students had punctually assembled at the field.
Shi Yao’s 10km marathon was at five.
Since they still had two and a half hours, Shi Yao quietly sat in her spot, watching the competition while munching on some tidbits.
When it was finally four-thirty, Qin Yiran, under the accompaniment of another two girls, walked past Shi Yao’s class to head for the running track. Following which, she began to do her warm-ups.
It was just as Jiang Yue and He Tiantian had said, even though Qin Yiran’s appearance looked clean, there were still signs that she had done her makeup. Even her clothes were tight-fitting to accentuate her big bosom and slim thighs. There was even a slight inch of whiteness peeking out at her waist.
The two girls that had accompanied Qin Yiran were exceptionally caring of her—one was massaging her limbs while the other passed her a bottle of water to drink.
Upon seeing this sight, Jiang Yue couldn’t help but mutter indignantly, “I told you she’d dress up for the Sports Meet!”
He Tiantian: “I’ve never met anyone as delicate as her. She even has to bring two friends along to act like her nannies!”
