My winter break homework was exposed, and I, a vocational school student, am now being snapped up by

"Mom and Dad, I'm going to school."

"Be safe!"

"Don't force yourself, just run around casually."

After finishing breakfast, Lin Chen said goodbye to his parents and walked to school.

After being recommended to Tsinghua and Peking Universities, I entered No. 1 High School.

Aside from daily life matters, Lin's parents didn't care about Lin Chen at all.

Even Lin Chen told them that he had joined the school track and field team.

They each replied with "Okay."

In their eyes, Lin Chen had already been guaranteed a place in the university.

Let him live the rest of his high school life as he pleases.

Today's selection trials for the city's track and field team are being held at the Donghai Stadium.

However, the track and field team students at No. 1 Middle School had to gather at the school first and then take a bus together to depart.

Lin Chen left home a little later because he lived close to the school.

As soon as I arrived at the school gate, a burly figure rushed up.

"Lin Chen! You've finally arrived!"

"Xu Yang? What's wrong?"

Xu Yang was stunned when he saw Lin Chen today.

I could hardly believe my eyes.

Why does Lin Chen seem different today?

But he quickly came to his senses and said, "Lin Chen, hurry up and go inside to see what's going on. Teacher Zhong and the principal are arguing about you!"

"Ah? Why?"

Please, why are you two grown men arguing over a guy like me?

"You'll find out once you go in, hurry up!"

As Lin Chen entered the school, he saw Zhong Yang, the leader of the track and field team, arguing heatedly with Principal Lin in front of a minibus.

"Teacher Zhong, I've made myself perfectly clear! The joint entrance exam is tomorrow!"

"This joint exam is exceptionally difficult. Lin Chen's score is crucial to the honor of the entire school, and there can be no mistakes!"

"Today's selection competition will affect Lin Chen's rest, I won't allow you to bring him!"

Zhong Yang retorted without backing down, "Principal Lin! You were the one who agreed to let Lin Chen join the track and field team!"

"He's been training for almost a month, and today is the day to see the results. How can you not let him go?"

"Academic performance is the foundation of a middle school! I'll let it go this time! Next time! Next time I'll definitely let Lin Chen participate!"

"Principal Lin, do you think I believe that? If Lin Chen misses this selection competition, what competitions can he represent the school in before graduation?"

Just then, Zhong Yang finally saw Lin Chen.

He immediately rushed over, grabbed Lin Chen, and said, "Lin Chen, get in the car quickly, we've been waiting for you!"

Principal Lin then took Lin Chen's other hand and said, "Lin Chen, the joint entrance exam is tomorrow, you can't be distracted!"

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, pulled on Lin Chen like in a tug-of-war.

The scene left everyone else on the bus speechless.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Xu Yang, who was standing nearby, also quickly escaped into the minibus.

Lin Chen looked at Principal Lin helplessly and said, "Principal Lin, is this really necessary? It's just a regular selection competition."

"Necessary! Absolutely necessary!"

Principal Lin insisted, "Lin Chen, you are now the hope of our entire school, and there can be no mistakes!"

What if you get injured during the selection trials today?

"What if you break your leg, break your arm, or hurt your head? What will you do for tomorrow's joint exam?"

The reason Principal Lin suddenly changed his mind and didn't want Lin Chen to participate in the selection was because the pressure was too great.

Just last night, those bastards from No. 3 Middle School actually published a news article in the Donghai Evening News.

It is said that No. 3 Middle School held a rally to pledge its determination to surpass No. 1 Middle School in this joint examination.

Upon seeing this news, Principal Lin immediately felt immense pressure.

The main reason why No. 1 Middle School is the best school in Donghai is the students' academic performance.

In comparison, sports matters have to take a backseat.

However, Zhong Yang was going all out this time and directly confronted Principal Lin.

Lin Chen had been seeing the results of his training with the track and field team every day.

As he had expected, Lin Chen was making progress every day.

Zhong Yang also developed a fondness for talent.

In his opinion, although Lin Chen's grades were good, he was truly talented when it came to running.

Even if it wasn't for his own sake and for No. 1 High School, he still wanted to get Lin Chen onto the sports stage and show the world his talent!

"Principal Lin, I'm begging you, please let Lin Chen make this trip!"

"I will definitely keep an eye on him and make sure Lin Chen doesn't get hurt in the slightest!"

Despite Zhong Yang's repeated pleas, it was Lin Chen who ultimately convinced Principal Lin to give up.

He sighed, "Principal, just let me go. It's just a competition; it won't take up too much of my energy!"

"I promise, I'll go home and rest after the selection competition, and it won't interfere with my exams!"

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Zhong Yang jumped up happily.

As for Principal Lin, he looked helpless.

"Alright, alright, let's go then, but I want to go with you guys too!"

"I must keep an eye on you. If you get hurt, you'd better go back and rest immediately!"

"Alright, alright, Principal, let's hurry up and get on the bus, or we'll be late!"

Zhong Yang helped the two men into the car and then immediately told the driver to drive off.

Upon arriving at the stadium, all the teams participating in today's qualifying matches were already present.

The staff in charge of the selection competition are calling roll according to the registration form.

And it just ended.

"Alright, athletes from each team, please enter the field in order. Let's begin the entrance ceremony..."

"Hey! Wait! Wait! We haven't taken attendance yet!"

Zhong Yang shouted from a distance.

The person in charge glanced at the registration form from earlier.

"Are you from No. 1 Middle School?"

"Yeah!"

"Oh, I thought you weren't coming!"

The audience burst into laughter.

It's true that No. 1 Middle School is the best school in Donghai.

But No. 1 Middle School used to be a notorious school for bookworms.

Therefore, most of the staff, including the athletes participating in the selection competition, did not take No. 1 Middle School seriously.

Since they didn't show up when called, it was assumed that they had abstained.

"We were delayed on the way. This is our list, please register it."

Teacher Zhong glared at Principal Lin, then turned and handed over the team member list with a smile.

"Alright, hurry up and get your people in line. The leaders are waiting!"

The staff member took the list and waved goodbye.

Feeling the disdainful looks around him, Lin Chen couldn't help but ask:

"Principal, was the sports program at No. 1 Middle School really that bad before?"

"This one……"

Principal Lin looked embarrassed: "We started relatively late."

Soon after, the stirring athletes' march echoed through the stadium.

Dozens of primary and secondary schools from all districts and counties in the city formed square formations and marched into the venue.

Lin Chen followed the group forward, turning his head to look around, and found that the audience seats were full of people.

Cheerleading squads from various schools were waving flags and shouting at the top of their lungs.

"There are so many people? I thought it was just a regular selection competition."

Lin Chen couldn't help but say.

"Nervous? Lin Chen, be more nervous, then I'll have a chance to defeat you!"

Xu Yang laughed from the side.

"Dream on, no matter how nervous I am, I can't possibly lose."

Lin Chen smiled.

Having spent more than half a month on the track and field team, Lin Chen has won over everyone on the team with his outstanding talent.

Even Xu Yang, who challenged Lin Chen back then, was no exception.

Suddenly, he heard someone calling him.

"Lin Chen! Lin Chen!"

"Ok?"

Lin Chen thought it was Chen Xiaoxiao who came to watch his match.

But to his surprise, the people yelling at him from the stands were actually a different group of people.
