Rebirth of a Girl in a Boys' School

"Looks like that kid surnamed Lin is in deep trouble this time!" Yu Jialiang said gloatingly from the sidelines. "Judging by this, that kid surnamed He is planning to knock that kid surnamed Lin down right now in this race!"

Zhang Yang stared expressionlessly at Lin Ruofei at the starting line, without saying a word.

"Sigh... It's a miracle this kid didn't break any arms or legs!" Guo Yang sighed softly, looking at the two tall, burly, and menacing contestants surrounding Lin Ruofei.

"Brother Lin, be careful..." After listening to Yu Jialiang and Guo Yang's analysis, Gao Qiang, who was standing next to Zhang Yang, immediately reminded Lin Ruofei loudly, "If you think it's not going to work, get off the field quickly!"

Upon hearing Gao Qiang's shout, Lin Ruofei, who was standing at the starting line, immediately smiled and waved casually at Gao Qiang, as if nothing had happened.

"Bang!" With a crisp gunshot, the 800-meter race officially began.

After Lin Ruofei ran across the starting line, she wanted to take a detour to accelerate to the front of the crowd. Unexpectedly, the two teammates who were "self-centered" blatantly attacked Lin Ruofei from both sides, blocking her from rushing to the front of the group...

"Seriously? That's outrageous!!" Gao Qiang shouted angrily, "Isn't there a referee going to do something about this?"

"Hmph...he didn't even reach out to pull him," Yu Jialiang said with a sneer, "what business is it of yours, referee?"

Lin Ruofei had run more than 200 meters but still hadn't managed to take the lead.

"You brats! Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover!" Lin Ruofei thought angrily. "Today I'll show you what a professional athlete is all about!"

After running through the first bend, Lin Ruofei suddenly stopped without warning...

The two "I Am the Only One" group contestants sandwiched between Lin Ruofei never expected her to suddenly stop running, so the two of them quickly ran far away with the large crowd.

Lin Ruofei, who had suddenly stopped, only paused for a moment before quickly running towards the outer circle where no one was running...

All the runners were running hard along the two inner lanes, and no one would have thought that someone would take the long way around and 'overtake' them from the outer lane!

Lin Ruofei took long strides and ran with all her might. After passing the second bend, Lin Ruofei was already firmly in the lead!

The track in the stadium is 400 meters per lap. Lin Ruofei easily completed two laps of the 800-meter race and won first place.

"So these high school kids aren't all that great after all!" Lin Ruofei thought to herself, sitting in the sports rest area, feeling a little smug.

"Don't get too cocky!" a voice whispered from behind Lin Ruofei. "In the upcoming matches, your opponents won't let you off so easily!"

Lin Ruofei turned her head and saw that it was Zhang Yang standing behind her, talking to her.

"Are you starting to regret underestimating my abilities?" Lin Ruofei completely ignored Zhang Yang's well-intentioned reminder and smiled smugly. "Should we borrow a pen or something from someone..."

"What do you need a pen for?" Zhang Yang asked, puzzled.

"So I can keep track of how many first places I've won!" Lin Ruofei laughed even more smugly. "I've been staying here week after week, so please don't get confused about how many weeks I can actually stay in your dorm!"

"Hmph, look how smug you are!" Zhang Yang sneered twice, saying, "Be careful, you'll suffer a great loss later!"

"There's a saying I don't know if you've heard before..." Lin Ruofei continued confidently, "It's called 'Strength determines performance.' These people's strength is nothing special. I'm definitely taking all the first place from now on!"

Just as Lin Ruofei was about to boast a little more to Zhang Yang, the "megaphone" suddenly shouted: "All students participating in the 1000-meter race, please proceed to the starting line for registration immediately... All students participating in the 1000-meter race, please proceed to the starting line for registration immediately..."

Lin Ruofei and Zhang Yang waved their hands and immediately got up and walked towards the starting point...

In fact, Lin Ruofei's statement that "ability determines performance" is indeed correct. A person's ability can indeed determine the outcome of a competition. However, there is a major premise that Lin Ruofei inadvertently overlooked, which is: fair competition!

It was precisely because Lin Ruofei overlooked this important factor in the competition that she suffered a great loss in the following 1,000-meter race!

The "I Am the Only One" group once again sent two tall and muscular members, who stood casually on either side of Lin Ruofei...

Because of her previous experience in the 800-meter race, Lin Ruofei didn't take the two members of the "I Am the Only One" group seriously, thinking that at worst she would just take a big detour to "overtake" them.

But when they actually started running, Lin Ruofei realized that the two members of the "I Am the Only One" team who participated in the 1000-meter race had learned from the experience of the previous race. Their strategy and tactics had changed to running closely behind Lin Ruofei, making it impossible for Lin Ruofei to use the "sudden stop and tail swing" as she had last time!

"Since the 'sudden stop' tactic is no longer feasible..." Lin Ruofei thought quickly to herself as she ran behind the crowd, "Then let's just use the 'speed ahead' tactic!"

Lin Ruofei planned to take the lead in one go and shake off these two "tails"!

Having made up her mind, Lin Ruofei immediately sped up and rushed towards the front of the crowd...

Lin Ruofei's plan was good, but it was precisely because she overlooked the most important factor in the competition: fair play that she suffered a huge loss!

Just as Lin Ruofei suddenly accelerated forward, the two members of the "I Am the Only One" group following closely behind her also sped up and ran. Just as Lin Ruofei rushed into the running crowd, one of the members of the "I Am the Only One" group suddenly increased the amplitude of his arm swing, seemingly unintentionally but also deliberately extending his arm towards Lin Ruofei...

Before the members of the "I Am the Only One" group could swing their arms a few times, they actually pulled Lin Ruofei, who was running in front, to the ground!

"Ouch!" Lin Ruofei yelled and then fell face-first to the ground in a classic 'dog-face-poop' pose.

As another member of the "I Am the Only One" group ran past, he deliberately stomped hard on Lin Ruofei's left leg!

"Oh no!" Gao Qiang, who was standing by the track, shouted anxiously, "Referee, someone is deliberately pulling someone and committing a foul! Someone is deliberately pulling someone and committing a foul!"

"I tell you, you should save your breath!" Yu Jialiang, standing to the side, sneered. "A bunch of people running together, it was clearly an accident that he tripped and fell, how can you say he deliberately pulled someone along?"

"We all saw that the member of the 'I Am the Only One' group deliberately pulled Brother Lin!" Tao Yushun, the boss standing behind Gao Qiang, couldn't help but shout.

"What good is it if you see this!" Guo Yang pointed to the referee's box at the finish line and said, "It's up to the referees to decide!"

"This competition is so shady!" Gao Qiang exclaimed angrily.

"It's not that the competition is too shady..." Zheng Dayu, the future reporter who had been silent all along, said in a deep voice, "It's that the people participating in the competition are too shady! So shady that even the referees dare not interfere..."

"We need to think of a way to help Lin Ruofei quickly!" The thin Ding Yilin stood behind everyone and called out anxiously.

"The only solution now is to get Lin Ruofei to withdraw from the competition..." Gao Qiang hadn't finished speaking when Lin Ruofei, who had just fallen heavily to the ground, slowly got up...

Lin Ruofei stood up again and looked down at her knee. Her left knee, which had just been stepped on by the members of the "I Am the Only One" group, was starting to bleed.

"Thank goodness, it's just a scraped knee..." Lin Ruofei looked down at her unharmed left leg and secretly rejoiced.

Lin Ruofei then gently shook her limbs left and right and up and down, and quickly determined that she should be fine.

"What is this kid up to?" Yu Jialiang couldn't help but mutter softly.

"Could it be..." Guo Yang blurted out as he saw Lin Ruofei suddenly start running forward again, "Is she really going to keep running?!"

"Despicable, vile, and shameless bastards!" Lin Ruofei cursed inwardly as she sprinted forward. "If I can't beat you openly, I'll resort to dirty tricks. What if you get away with it?! Where is fairness in this world?! Where is truth?! Where is justice?! Do you think you can stop me from being number one?! If you're Ikkyu, you have to rub your head until you're bald; if you're Superman, you have to wear your underwear on the outside; if you're Ultraman, you have to fight monsters!"

As Lin Ruofei muttered nonsense to herself, she ran even faster and soon caught up with the group ahead...

The two members of the "I Am the Only One" group had just seen Lin Ruofei fall quite hard and thought she would withdraw from the competition, so they focused all their energy on the competition. However, they did not expect that in just a short while, Lin Ruofei would catch up with them from behind!

Lin Ruofei took long strides and quickly overtook the large group of runners on the outer circle. She continued to accelerate until she had left all the runners behind her by more than half a lap of the track before she adjusted her running speed back to a steady pace.

A large, dark cloud drifted in from nowhere and slowly began to obscure the dazzling sun, and the once bright sky suddenly darkened...

Without the glaring sunlight, people's attention easily focused on Lin Ruofei as she ran...

Lin Ruofei continued running forward at a steady pace, showing no signs of having been pulled to the ground, except that a large patch of bright red blood was clearly seeping from her left knee...

Without the glaring sunlight, the bloodstain on Lin Ruofei's left knee stood out starkly. The sudden gloom in the surroundings made Lin Ruofei, who was fighting despite her injury, appear exceptionally tragic...

"Oh my god!" Tao Laosan, Tao Yuxin, couldn't help but exclaim in a shrill voice, "Brother Lin's leg is bleeding so much!"

"Has this guy gone mad from the fall?" Yu Jialiang couldn't help but exclaim. "The blood is already flowing down his leg, and he doesn't even feel the pain and keeps running?"

"Lin Ruofei..." Gao Qiang saw Lin Ruofei running near him and hurriedly chased after her, standing by the track and shouting, "If it really hurts, don't force yourself to keep going. We don't need one more first place!"

Lin Ruofei simply smiled and waved to Gao Qiang, then continued running forward...

"Wow..." Tao Yushun, the eldest brother of the Tao family, couldn't help but exclaim softly, "Brother Lin is truly a brave and fine young man!"

"Hmph! She's just an ignorant and greedy young girl!" Zhang Yang couldn't help but curse inwardly. "She's already fallen like this, and she's still running for her life for a few paddles!"

Lin Ruofei maintained a half-lap lead until the final sprint.

"Lin Ruofei!" As soon as Lin Ruofei crossed the finish line, Gao Qiang rushed forward to support her: "Are you alright?"

"This little injury is nothing!" Lin Ruofei said with a smile, waving her hand. "It's perfectly fine!"

"You've lost so much blood and you still say you're okay?" Gao Qiang saw that the finish line referee had indicated that the results were recorded, so he hurriedly helped Lin Ruofei walk to the seats by the stands.

"I can manage, you don't need to help me!" Lin Ruofei said easily as she tried to push Gao Qiang away.

But Gao Qiang refused to let go, and only released his hands after helping Lin Ruofei to sit down in a chair.

At this moment, the teammates who were in Lin Ruofei's group also gathered in front of her and started talking in unison:

"Brother Lin, are you alright?"

"Lin, are you alright?"

"Lin, why don't you skip the next 5,000 meters? I'll run it for you!"

Lin Ruofei smiled and waved her hand, without saying a word, simply adjusting her breathing quietly.

Zhang Yang realized that Lin Ruofei still intended to participate in the next round of competition, so he couldn't help but ask in a cold voice, "Are you even up to the task?"

"Sure, of course!" Lin Ruofei patted her chest confidently and replied, "Just wait and see how it goes in the books!"

"I say, aren't you too greedy?" Yu Jialiang laughed loudly at Lin Ruofei, "You'd actually risk your life for a reward of a hundred or so yuan!"

"This has nothing to do with money!" Lin Ruofei glared at Yu Jialiang and said righteously.

"You don't have to work this hard just to live in a fancy dorm room, do you?" Guo Yang couldn't help but mock. "Is it really worth it just to live more comfortably?"

Watching the blood slowly seeping down Lin Ruofei's calf, Zhang Yang's heart suddenly twitched slightly for no reason. He couldn't help but think to himself: If this girl just wants to stay a few more days, why make her work so hard? After all, she saved my life. I might as well let her stay a few more days!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang couldn't help but say softly, "If you want to stay a few more days..."
