There is no system for the anime, so I have to work hard on my own.

Wiping the fine sweat from his brow, and looking at the endless road, Ye Yusheng couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Tsk, this awful road, when will it ever end! It feels like the road just keeps getting longer the further we walk..."

“Who says otherwise?” Kato Megumi nodded in agreement, her voice tinged with weariness and her tone complicated. “I don’t know what we were thinking back then, insisting on coming here to suffer.”

As she spoke, her gaze involuntarily fell on Xie Siying, and she said jokingly, "Don't you think so, Miss Siying?"

Before Xie Siying could speak, Wang Liyue chimed in, "Hey, why aren't you saying anything, crab?"

"Could it be that you've forgotten how to speak? With my terrible memory, you're probably just too tired to talk, how could you possibly reply?"

Feeling the men's lingering gazes, Xie Siying felt a little uneasy, but could she say she regretted it? No!

Especially after hearing their sarcastic remarks, if she showed any weakness now, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that she was wrong?

She absolutely couldn't let that happen!

Therefore, Xie Siying could only suppress the frustration rising in her heart and try to stop her aching legs from trembling so much.

He deliberately raised his voice to make his tone sound more relaxed, and his gaze swept lightly over the group as he shook his head in a pretentious manner.

"Sigh, I really didn't expect you guys to be in such poor physical condition. It's just a short distance, it's not like I'm asking you to chase after a car, why can't you handle it?"

Then, she revealed a timely realization and slapped her hand: "That's it, I overestimated you all."

"I'm really sorry!" He said apologetically, but it sounded so grating to Ye Yusheng and the other students in Class 2.

"Hmph, who are you calling incompetent?!"

Driven by his competitive spirit, Ye Yusheng immediately became agitated. He glared at Xie Siying, gritted his teeth, and sped up, walking ahead of her.

Although Kato Megumi didn't say anything, she was clearly provoked by Xie Siying's words and took a deep breath to follow her.

Wang Liyue snorted coldly, glanced at Xie Siying with her provocative face, then at Ye Yusheng and Kato Megumi in front of her, and finally gritted her teeth and quickened her pace to catch up.

Xie Siying stared wide-eyed at the three people who remained silent and kept their heads down as they walked.

Isn't this a bit off? Shouldn't you just admit you can't do it, and I take the opportunity to back out?

Why are they all acting like they've swallowed a bomb?

Seeing her standing there in a daze, Wang Liyue suddenly turned around, gave her the middle finger, and had a provocative smile on her lips.

Then they followed without looking back.

Seeing this, Xie Siying's anger flared up instantly.

This is a provocation, it must be a provocation!

However, since we're going to play, let's play it to the end!

I want to see who backs down first!

Thinking it over, she quickly took long strides and followed, soon reaching Wang Liyue's side. She gave her a provocative look and said, "Heh, is that all? I thought you were so great."

As she spoke, she quickened her pace and overtook Wang Liyue in the blink of an eye, her back view even seeming to carry a hint of smugness.

Will Wang Liyue tolerate this provocation?

She immediately quickened her pace and hurried to catch up.

Seeing that she was almost catching up, Xie Siying quickened her pace.

After a chase, the two of them were practically flying off their feet, leaving Ye Yusheng and Kato Megumi looking at each other in bewilderment.

After a long while, Ye Yusheng finally spoke, "Xiao Hui, what's wrong with those two people?"

Kato Megumi pondered for a moment, then nodded emphatically: "I don't know, but I think they're definitely competing with each other."

Ye Yusheng rolled his eyes: "Of course I know they're competing, but aren't their legs tired from moving so fast?"

Kato Megumi gave him a speechless look: "Are your legs sore?"

Without hesitation, Ye Yusheng replied definitively, "Sour!"

Kato Megumi shrugged: "That's settled then. They're not gods. How could their legs not ache from walking so fast?"

Ye Yusheng: "Should we speed things up?"

Kato Megumi thought for a moment and said, "Never mind, let's leave it at that."

She paused, then continued, "And I think that Li Yue and the others must be tired from walking so fast, so they'll definitely need to rest."

"We're not in a hurry."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yusheng nodded: "I'll do whatever you say."

So the two of them strolled leisurely behind, glancing up every now and then to make sure they didn't completely disappear from sight.

"Hmm, the Liyue player has sped up again!"

Suddenly, Ye Yusheng said this.

Are you the host?

Kato Megumi's lips twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but complain.

Ye Yusheng paused for a moment, then stroked his chin and muttered, "It doesn't seem like it's impossible."

As he spoke, his eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if he had discovered a fun toy, and his tone became excited: "Oh my, our Siying is not to be outdone, she's sped up!"

"She's speeding up! She's speeding up again!"

"Good, that's it!"

"Keep this momentum going!"

"Yes, yes, that's it! Surpass her!"

Suddenly, he changed the subject, his tone becoming regretful: "So close, so close that Siying was just one step away from surpassing him."

"Alright, now let's take a look at the Liyue contestants."

"After almost being overtaken, she accelerated!"

"They've left Siying far behind!"

"It seems that as long as she maintains her momentum, it will be very difficult for Siying to surpass Liyue."

"Hmm? Siying sped up again?"

"No, it seems she's... running?"

"Yeah, his legs are practically blurry from running!"

"Ah, we've surpassed it! We've surpassed it!"

"Siying has finally surpassed the Liyue players!"

"Hey, that's not right!"

"The Liyue players have started running too, and they've overtaken them!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, now the battle is getting intense again. Alright, now please welcome our commentator, Ms. Kato."

As he spoke, he placed his hand, which had been holding nothing in the air, in front of Kato Megumi, like a reporter: "Ms. Kato, what do you think?"

Kato Megumi's lips twitched slightly, but she cleared her throat and lowered her voice to cooperate, saying, "This is very bad!"

Ye Yusheng's interest was piqued, his eyes seemingly lighting up as he pressed, "Oh? Something's not right? Which contestant is it?"

Megumi Kato: "In my opinion, both contestants are."

Ye Yusheng: "Could you elaborate?"

Megumi Kato: "We all know that the two athletes had walked a long way before the competition and had exhausted a lot of energy."

“And now, race walking seems to be turning into running,” she said, pointing to the winding path beneath her feet, “but as for the track, you surely know what it is, Mr. Host…”

"It's too steep!"

"Given the lack of hydration and the sudden burst of speed, they must be nearing their end!"

Ye Yusheng withdrew his hand: "Okay, thank you for the wonderful commentary, Kato. Now let's turn the camera to the two contestants. Oh, they've stopped!"

"No, they seem to have just sat down."

"They look exhausted."

"However, neither of them seemed willing to concede to the other, and they were glaring at each other."

As he spoke, he stretched out a hand, a smile playing on his lips.

"So, Kato, would you like to come with me to the venue to interview the two contestants?"

Kato Megumi grasped his hand: "With pleasure!"

After saying that, they both laughed!
