It's not too late to meet in the book

As the afterglow of the setting sun gradually filled the courtyard, the Renault family's birthday party entered its most exciting part: game time. In the courtyard, the children gathered in a circle, excitedly discussing the upcoming games, while the adults prepared props, their faces filled with warm smiles.

"All right, kids, today we're going to have a relay race!" Renault stood in the center of the circle, holding the baton high in his hand, and announced loudly, "We're going to split into two teams and see which team can complete the relay faster and win!"

Lei Xiaoyue's eyes lit up immediately when she heard this. She took Su Xiaoxiao's hand and whispered, "Xiaoxiao, we must win! Our team is the best!"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, her eyes flashing with anticipation: "Yes, Xiaoyue, let's work hard together!"

On the other side, Lin Yuxuan was not to be outdone. He found Lin Yu (the original text changed "Xiao Ming" to "Lin Yu" to maintain character consistency). The two looked at each other and understood each other. "Lin Yu, we can't lose to them. Are you ready?"

Lin Yu clenched his fists and answered firmly: "Of course, Yuxuan, we will definitely win!"

Seeing that the children were eager to try, Renault began to assign teams: "Okay, then we will have Xiaoyue and Yuxuan as captains. Xiaoyue and Xiaoxiao will be in one group, and Yuxuan and Linyu will be in another. Remember, this is not only a competition of speed, but also a test of teamwork!"

With a whistle, the race officially began. Lei Xiaoyue, the first runner, rushed out like an arrow, gripping the baton tightly. The wind whistled past her ears, and she had only one thought in her mind: "I want to win for my team!"

Su Xiaoxiao waited anxiously at the finish line, her hands clenched into fists, silently cheering for Lei Xiaoyue. When Lei Xiaoyue finally handed the baton to her, she burst into action almost instantly and sprinted with all her might.

At the same time, Lin Yuxuan was not to be outdone. He gritted his teeth and tried his best with every step. After Lin Yu took over the baton, he was like a wild horse running away, with an astonishing speed.

The two teams chased each other, refusing to give in. The courtyard was filled with a tense yet joyful atmosphere. Renault and Wang Jing watched from the sidelines, cheering the children on from time to time, their faces filled with satisfaction and pride.

After Lei Xiaoyue finished her leg, she stood breathlessly by the side, her eyes fixed on Su Xiaoxiao as she continued running. She felt nervous yet excited, and the words kept echoing in her mind: "We must win, we must win!"

When Su Xiaoxiao finally crossed the finish line and held the baton high, Lei Xiaoyue jumped up excitedly. She held Su Xiaoxiao's hand and shouted excitedly: "We won, Xiaoxiao, we really won!"

However, at this moment, Lin Yuxuan also crossed the finish line with Lin Yu. Although they were slightly behind, their faces were also filled with satisfied smiles. Lin Yuxuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked to Lei Xiaoyue, and stretched out his hand with a smile: "Xiaoyue, you are really great! We will definitely not lose next time!"

Lei Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, then she extended her hand as well. The two smiled at each other and shook hands. She suddenly realized that while the competition was important, what was even more important was the joy and friendship gained from it.

"Yuxuan, you guys are amazing too!" Lei Xiaoyue said sincerely, "Let's compete together next time, okay?"

Lin Yuxuan nodded, his eyes flashing with anticipation: "Of course, Xiaoyue, we must compete again next time!"

At this time, Wang Jing came over with a plate of cut fruit in her hand and said to the children with a smile: "Okay, kids, the competition is over. You are all the best! Come, eat some fruit and take a break."

The children gathered around, picking up the fruit and tucking into it. The yard was once again filled with laughter. Renault prepared the next game. He felt a surge of satisfaction watching the children's joy.

As the night fell, the party gradually came to an end, but the children's enthusiasm did not diminish at all. They sat together, sharing the happy time of the day and talking about every detail of the game.

"Xiaoyue, you ran so fast today!" Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed in admiration, "I almost couldn't keep up with you."

Lei Xiaoyue smiled and replied, "That's because we worked well together, Xiaoxiao. Let's work harder together next time!"

Lin Yuxuan also interrupted: "Yes, Xiaoyue, you are really amazing. But next time, we will definitely not let you win so easily!"

Lin Yu nodded in agreement: "That's right, Yuxuan, we must work harder next time!"

The children's words were filled with anticipation and longing for the future. They smiled at each other, their eyes gleaming with determination. In this courtyard filled with laughter and joy, they not only gained the joy of playing games, but also gained precious friendships and team spirit.

"Okay, kids, it's getting late, let's move on to the next program." Wang Jing came over and gently reminded them, "Everyone was great today. I hope you can continue to be like today, united and friendly, and make progress together!"
