Comprehensive school.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the playground, dyeing the track a warm orange-red.
Isshiki Iroha stood at the starting line.
She kept adjusting the straps tied around her and Ling Qing's legs, with an unconcealable smile on her lips.
They are conducting three-legged coordination training.
Ling Qing came back to life not long after returning to the world.
Would this be too tight?
Ling Qing lowered his head and asked.
From this distance, I can clearly smell the scent of strawberry shampoo wafting through Iroha's hair.
No, no, tie it tighter so you won't fall easily!
Caiyu raised her face, her eyes curved into crescent shapes.
The school sports meet is next week, so we have to practice hard.
Ling Qing nodded obediently.
But his eyes drifted towards the edge of the playground.
Yukinoshita Yukino, Miura Yumiko, and Yuigahama Yui were sitting on a bench, looking at this side with different expressions.
They were here to supervise their training.
Caiyu followed his gaze, a sly gleam in her eyes.
Ah, I asked the Service Club for help.
28After all, three-legged racing requires tacit cooperation. Wouldn't it be better to have professional guidance?
Professionals…
Ling Qing smiled.
Forget about Yukinoshita, but when did Urawa Yuigahama become a professional?
Ling Qingjun, it is not polite to talk about others behind their backs.
Yukino's cold voice appeared.
Since we have accepted the commission, we will naturally take it seriously.
Yumiko walked over with her arms folded across her chest, her long golden hair standing out in the sunset.
I mean, do you think we have nothing to do? If Caiyu hadn't begged us…
Yu-Yumiko-senpai!
Caiyu interrupted her hurriedly, her cheeks slightly reddened
I didn't cry!
Yui covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
His eyes moved back and forth between Ling Qing and Cai Yu.
You guys cooperated very well and can now walk steadily.
Of course!
Iroha raised her chin proudly.
Senior Ling Qing and I will definitely be the best partners! Right?
As she spoke, she naturally took Ling Qing's arm.
As soon as this action appeared.
Ling Qing felt that the three gazes in front of him suddenly became sharp.
Yukino's eyes grew a little colder.
Yumiko frowned, while Yui's smile froze on her face.
Ahem, let's start practicing.
Ling Qing changed the subject.
How about starting with a jog?
OK!
Iroha replied cheerfully, showing no intention of letting go.
One, two, one, two…
The two of them took a step forward.
But he almost stumbled because of Iroha's right rhythm.
Ling Qing quickly grabbed Caiyu's waist to steady her.
The girl's soft body pressed against his side, and her heartbeat seemed to be clearly audible.
Senior Ling Qing, I'm sorry!
That's okay, that's the fun of the three-legged race. Let's do it again.
Ling Qing gently straightened her body.
Um!
Iroha blushed slightly.
The two continued their training.
…
On the bench.
Yumiko bit the straw and squeezed the drink cup, making it crackle.
Are these two training or flirting?
Yumiko…
Yui warned quietly, stealing a glance at Yukino beside her.
Yukinoshita sat upright, expressionless.
But the knuckles of his fingers holding the notebook had turned white.
It turns out.
It would be a mistake to agree to this.
It is such a torture to watch other girls trying to hit on your boyfriend and flirting with him in front of you.
I think they need a more systematic training method.
Yukino suddenly stood up and walked towards the center of the playground.
Such unsystematic practice will only waste time.
On the playground.
Ling Qing and Cai Yu have gradually found their rhythm and their steps have become coordinated.
We're making rapid progress, aren't we?
Iroha said excitedly.
Her body kept getting closer to Ling Qing as she walked, her hair brushing against his cheek.
Yes, indeed.
Ling Qing nodded.
With a strange look on his face, he enjoyed the soft touch of his arm.
But Yukinoshita seemed to have something to say.
He had just finished speaking.
Yukino had come to them again.
He pointed out coldly: There is still something wrong with your rhythm.
Caiyu's steps are too small, while Qingjun's are too big. Practicing like this for a long time will lead to muscle fatigue.
So what suggestions does Senior Yukino have?
Caiyu asked, blinking, but her hand quietly grasped Lingqing's sleeve.
Xueno's eyes stayed on that hand for a second.
Then he said calmly: You should first measure your natural stride length, calculate the compromise value, and then practice according to that standard.
It sounds so complicated…
Iroha pouted.
I think we are doing pretty well the way we are now.
I also think that direct practice is more efficient.
Ling Qing smiled.
He could already sense that Yukino was jealous.
But I just want to see her jealous look, what a delicious expression.
…
Hearing this, Xue Noi stared at Ling Qing with her beautiful eyes.
a long time.
She turned around and left a sentence.
It's up to you.
Just leave.
The back figure looks particularly stiff.
Caiyu looked at Yuki667no's back, a glimmer of victory flashing in her eyes.
Get closer to Ling Qing.
Never mind that, let's keep practicing!
The two began to jog again, and this time they cooperated more closely.
But it is clearly in a truly stable state.
However, Caiyu had an accident when turning a corner.
She tripped.
Ouch!
She screamed.
She threw herself into Ling Qing's arms.
She placed her hands on Ling Qing's chest and her cheeks flushed.
Sorry, I think I stepped on a stone…
Ling Qing supported her.
…
He raised his brows slightly.
This guy's acting skills are really amazing.
This was not intentional but a deliberate behavior, but she acted it so naturally that it was really hard for her.
Ling Qing did not expose her, and followed her careless performance and said: Are you okay? Do you need a rest?
No, no!
Caiyu shook her head hastily.
Although she said no, Ke Ren took the opportunity to lean her head on Ling Qing's shoulder.
But… can we stay here for a while? I feel a little dizzy…
As soon as this action was taken.
Ling Qing could already feel the burning gazes coming from the edge of the playground, especially Youmeko's almost murderous look.
