The Beautiful Time With You

“Qin Yiran came here hoping to embarrass Yaoyao, so she couldn’t have expected Yaoyao to turn the tables on her. This gap between her expectations and reality, she’s bound to feel deeply frustrated inside…”

During Leng Nuan’s calm analysis, Qin Yiran was overtaken by three more runners. From her initial position at first place with a huge lead, she had already been pushed down to sixth place.

And right behind her, there were six more runners who were edging closer to her.

When Qin Yiran finally dropped to seventh place, she seemed to have finally run out of strength, and she came to a stop. She continued taking two steps forward before squatting down right before the entire student populace.

The results of the marathon were worse than how Shi Yao had envisioned it to be. Putting aside the top ten, she didn’t even reach the finish line, giving up halfway through.

Seeing this outcome, Shi Yao inwardly shook her head. It’s just as Sis Jiayi said—Qin Yiran was really a wimp through and through.

She’s the one who started this conflict, but as soon as she saw that she can’t win, she just gave up on the spot. How could a person like her have the audacity to provoke others?

With such thoughts in mind, Shi Yao shook her head and said, “I don’t even need to waste my intelligence on people like her.”

Upon hearing Shi Yao’s words, Jiang Yue finally recovered from the dramatic competition and exclaimed, “Yaoyao, I’ll never say that you’re harmless ever again. You’re practically a witch!”

“What witch? She’s clearly a demoness!” A moment after expressing her opinion, He Tiantian suddenly widened her eyes as a thought came to her. She slowly turned to Shi Yao and asked, “Yaoyao, you can obviously run a 10km marathon. Why didn’t tell us that earlier?”

Shi Yao replied earnestly, “You never asked me.”

He Tiantian: “…”

Jiang Yue: “…”

A moment later, Jiang Yue finally sighed deeply and said, “Fair enough. But even if we didn’t ask, you should’ve at least told us about this impressive talent that you have…”

Shi Yao blinked her eyes innocently as she asked, “Shouldn’t talent be something that you’re best at? When I introduced myself to you all, I told you that my talent lies in eating. There’s no mistake at all…”

He Tiantian: “…”

Jiang Yue: “…”

Shi Yao gazed at the silent duo and blinked her eyes once more, “Besides, is running 10km really that difficult? Can this even be considered as a talent?”

He Tiantian: “??????”

Jiang Yue: “??????”

Miss, are you seriously telling us that, or are you making a cold joke?

Shi Yao glanced at the duo for a long while before speaking up once more, “If you really want to hear about my talent, I do have one. A while ago, when I went to Xi’an to play, I tried out their bowl-smashing wine ¹ . You can’t even begin to imagine how good I am at that. I drank so much the people next to me had already changed several times…”

He Tiantian: “!!!!!!”

Jiang Yue: “!!!!!!”

Miss, please stop there…

Unfortunately, Shi Yao was completely oblivious to their inner voices. Her lips began moving once more, but before she could speak another word, the announcer was already calling for her name, ushering her to head to the podium to receive her prize.

After obtaining her medal, someone from the school’s Media Club came over to interview Shi Yao since she had clinched first place. “Student Shi Yao, you’ve broken the school record for the Women’s 10km Marathon. Is there anything you would like to say?”

Shi Yao pondered for a moment before offering a response which she thought was humble, “I think I did alright, it was just an average performance. I still haven’t broken my 10km marathon record back in high school yet.”

The student interviewing Shi Yao was visibly stunned for a moment. It took a while before he could find his voice again to continue the interview, “What’s your greatest takeaway from this 10km marathon then?”

Without the slightest hesitation, Shi Yao replied, “A month’s supply of yogurt, milk tea, and potato chips!”
