Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The moment s.h.i.+ Man crossed the finish line, everyone forgot to cheer for her. The entire venue fell into dead silence.

It was not until the rostrum announced the final results of the compet.i.tion that the students in the audience suddenly came back to their senses and let out an ear-piercing scream of disbelief.

Bai Xue jumped up excitedly and shook Su Tangs hand desperately. She won, she won, Manman actually won! Shes really amazing!

Su Tang smiled proudly and said confidently, As expected.

Gu Fan looked at the finish line that was inches away and suddenly did not have the courage to run anymore. His footsteps gradually stopped. He stood rooted to the ground as if his feet had been nailed to the track. He wanted to escape, but he could not move his legs.

s.h.i.+ Mu personally walked down the rostrum to welcome s.h.i.+ Man. He held her hand and wanted to bring her to the rostrum to complete his final speech.

After these two compet.i.tions, all the teachers and students in the school should have seen s.h.i.+ Mans strength. He was absolutely confident that s.h.i.+ Man would be the only candidate for the presidential sear today.

s.h.i.+ Man allowed him to pull her to the last stage. However, when she pa.s.sed by Gu Fan, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and examined the man in front of her expressionlessly.

Cant you tolerate your own failure?

Gu Fan suddenly raised his head and glared at her with red eyes. His hands were clenched into fists by his sides. I, its not that I cant accept it. I just

You just didnt expect to lose, let alone lose so badly. s.h.i.+ Man curled her lips mockingly, the mockery in her eyes undisguised.

Veins suddenly bulged on Gu Fans forehead, and his fists were clenched.

s.h.i.+ Mu stood in front of his sister worriedly and reprimanded her coldly, What are you doing? Do you still want to hit someone after losing the compet.i.tion? Our s.h.i.+ family is not to be trifled with!

Brother. s.h.i.+ Man grabbed s.h.i.+ Mus arm and gestured for him to move aside first.

She met Gu Fans gaze fearlessly and slowly took a step forward to stand in front of him. Dont you think you look very ugly now?

Gu Fan gritted his teeth, his entire body trembling from her humiliation. Are you hitting me when Im down? You must be very proud to see me suffer a crus.h.i.+ng defeat, right?

Whats there to be proud of? s.h.i.+ Man couldnt help but laugh. She shrugged her shoulders indifferently. I didnt think about the possibility of you winning from the beginning. You just cant accept the truth. You dont even have the courage to complete the compet.i.tion in the end, yet you still want to compete with me for the position of president?

Gu Fans eyelids twitched slightly, and his Adams apple bobbed. He said in a low voice, What exactly do you want to say?

s.h.i.+ Man raised her head slightly and gestured for him to turn around.

Gu Fan hesitated and did as he was told. Only then did he see that many students in the audience behind him were looking over. There was no lack of support from his cla.s.smates, his former good friends, and his beloved teachers.

Have you forgotten that theyre still watching you? You dont even have the courage to end the compet.i.tion. Are you worthy of their cheers for you just now?

s.h.i.+ Mans voice sounded behind him. Gu Fan felt his back stiffen and he clenched his fists again. He suddenly took a deep breath and roared angrily as he ran towards the finish line.

The silent audience erupted in cheers again. Even though this cheer was only from a small portion of the spectators, it was enough to support Gu Fans courage to complete the compet.i.tion.

s.h.i.+ Man was right. This was not just his compet.i.tion. He was also carrying the expectations of his cla.s.smates and teachers.

He couldnt lose so badly. He couldnt embarra.s.s them.

Even if he wanted to lose, he should do it openly!

s.h.i.+ Mu looked at Gu Fan in shock. This was the first time he had seen this man, who was always so rigid, abandon his rationality.

Brother, we can leave now. s.h.i.+ Man looked at Gu Fan, who was panting at the finish line, in satisfaction. Then, she turned around and followed s.h.i.+ Mu to the center of the podium.

The cheers that resounded through the sky stopped abruptly. Everyone held their breaths and focused at the same time. They raised their heads and stared at the girl standing in front of the microphone.

Gu Fan hunched his back and held his legs. His violently beating heart seemed to be about to break through his chest at any moment. He stared fixedly at the position that should have belonged to him until the dazzling sunlight forced him to lower his head in resignation.

Perhaps it was not sunlight, but the girl who was so dazzling that he did not dare to look at her directly.

After the speech, the princ.i.p.al announced that s.h.i.+ Man would be the designated candidate for the next President.

Gu Fan closed his eyes gently and wiped the bean-sized sweat off his forehead. He turned around and left dejectedly.

Unexpectedly, a group of people surrounded him at some point. All of them smiled at him. The male cla.s.smate who was closest to Gu Fan even punched his shoulder and joked with a smile, Not bad. That last sprint was very impressive. It seems that its not a waste of money for you to install a gym at home. Ill install one next time. Help me choose the equipment..
