Pretty and charming, dressed in the 90s, she's good at everything from making money to causing

"boom!"

The starting gun fired.

"Hey, hey, you jumped the gun!"

"Start over again!"

"boom!"

The starting gun fired again.

"They robbed us again..."

"boom!"

The starting gun fired again.

"...Those four who false-started three times are disqualified!"

Lin Tingren was dumbfounded as he watched four complete strangers leave the competition venue with smiles on their faces.

what's going on?

Is the competition really that fierce?

When the first false start occurred, Lin Ting didn't react in time.

By the time she realized there was a loophole she could exploit, it was too late.

The PE teacher, who was acting as the referee, looked at them with a sinister smile and warned, "Anyone who dares to false start again will fail their PE exam at the end of the semester!"

"boom!"

The starting gun fired for the fourth time, and this time no one jumped the gun. The students, who hadn't understood the rules just a second ago, seemed to have suddenly grasped the essence of the race rules.

The long-distance race began without any fighting spirit or competitive drive.

"Ouch!"

"Ouch!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

I don't know which clever person started off and then tripped over their own feet, falling straight down.

Whether out of fear of pain or good intentions, she knocked down a group of classmates.

Seeing his classmates fall down in unison like leeks, Lin Ting's eyes widened in disbelief.

why!

Why was she so far from the scene of the incident?

The PE teacher gritted his teeth as he picked up each of the fallen students, and even had to play along with their act: "Are you alright, students?"

"Ouch... Teacher, I twisted my ankle."

"I really want to compete, but my back hurts so much..."

"Waaaaah... My knee is bleeding!"

The students in the audience were used to it, and some even had the leisure to offer their comments.

"This year's long-distance runners are terrible. Their falls look so fake. My 96-year-old great-grandmother could get up and chase me for two miles after just one fall."

"Exactly, the last one was much more interesting."

"So what's the point of the school holding a sports meet? I still don't understand..."

The comments from the spectators offstage have no effect on the students onstage.

Ha, all they do is make sarcastic remarks.

You try running 3,000 meters!

Let's see who can fake their fall better!

Seeing six more classmates leave happily, Lin Ting felt like she had eaten two pounds of pickled cucumbers on an empty stomach.

She took a deep breath and tried to reassure herself—

Don't panic, don't panic, follow the plan.

Although she didn't want to run and couldn't finish the 3,000 meters, she still had to save face!

Lin Ting pursed her lips and clenched her fist with utmost seriousness towards the formation representing the Foreign Languages ​​Department: "For the glory of the Foreign Languages ​​Department! I will definitely win!"

Finally, a contestant with a competitive spirit appeared, and not only the students from the foreign language department, but also students from other majors were excited.

Especially the economics department.

Liang Tianxing waved the red flag with great enthusiasm, and his signature loud voice led everyone in shouting encouragement: "Lin! Go for it!"

"Lin, keep it up!"

Teacher Li rushed over and kicked Liang Tianxing in the butt.

Who are you cheering for? There are girls from our class on the field!

Liang Tianxing innocently and calmly patted the footprints on his butt: "Old Li, look for yourself, our class beauty has already been penalized for false start... Look over there, squatting there drinking milk tea."

Teacher Li: "..."

He paused for three seconds, then reached out and took the bamboo pole from Liang Tianxing, choosing to express his apology through action: "Lin! Keep it up!"

"Lin, keep it up!"

Lin Ting felt a little pressured as she listened to the cheers from the sidelines.

She was just setting the stage to avoid an embarrassing situation when she fell, but why did they react so strongly?

She was so overly enthusiastic that she's now too embarrassed to fall.

But if we wait any longer... what if she's the only one left on the field?

In that case, should she fall or not?

Lin Ting ran at a moderate pace, with five or six people in front of her and a group of classmates behind her scrambling to fall or stage accidents.

She kept an eye on the other people as she ran.

At the end of the first lap, less than half of the competitors remained on the track.

Lin Ting was at the very end of the first group, and fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

The cheers from the sidelines gradually subsided. After all, this was a long-distance running event, and the students couldn't possibly shout for more than ten minutes. Their enthusiasm only reached its peak during the first and last laps.

Lin Ting pondered that it was time to throw it.

As Lin Ting got closer and closer to Jiang Zong, he nodded to him without making a sound.

Jiang Zong received Lin Ting's signal and stepped forward to indicate that he knew.

Just as Lin Ting was fully prepared to fall, the classmate in fifth place ahead of her suddenly staggered, swayed, and collapsed to the ground.

Lin Ting was caught off guard and instinctively dodged, avoiding the possibility of tripping over her and falling head over heels.

After doing this, Lin Ting almost couldn't help but slap himself twice!

What is she hiding from?!

An opportunity delivered right to our doorstep!

On a sudden impulse, she immediately slowed her pace, squatted down, and helped student number five, whose face was rosy but who was exhibiting all the symptoms of low blood sugar:

"Hey classmate? Are you alright? Don't be scared, I'll take you to the hospital!"

Just as Lin Ting was about to righteously give up the competition for the sake of friendship, the PE teacher suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

He skillfully instructed the nurses at the school hospital to carry number five away, and then said to Lin, "You don't need to worry about it, just continue the game."

Lin Ting: "You're such a kind person."

The opportunity that was offered to him was snatched away by the PE teacher, so Lin Ting had no choice but to bite the bullet and run down the stairs.

She can't afford to fall on this lap; she can't just end the race right at the start!

Face is still very important...

After the second lap, another third of the racers were eliminated.

Lin Ting looked left and right.

If she can finish the race, she can easily make it into the top ten.

After all, there are only ten people left now.

Lin Ting got closer to Jiang Zong again, nodded to him once more, and Jiang Zong took another step forward.

"Ouch—!"

A soft murmur came from behind me.

Lin Ting: "..."

Who is it again?!

The student behind him held his forehead, took a few steps to the side, and then collapsed.

"Teacher...I think I have heatstroke..."

In late September in Northeast China, she said she had heatstroke.

This……

Reasonable!

During the third lap, Lin Ting reflected deeply and realized that there was only one reason for his repeated failures.

She's still too shy.

She made up her mind: no matter what happens, she's going to fall!

Anyway, there are so many people faking falls, one more won't make a difference.

It is well known that collective behavior makes it difficult to remember any individual.

This time, Lin Ting didn't prepare or give Jiang Zong a signal. After spotting a flat surface that looked like a good place to fall, he directly used the results of his recent training and softly fell down.

"what?"

It was already the third lap, and those still on the track were mostly serious about the race. Suddenly, another student fell, which woke up the students who had been dozing off.

Another one fell down.

The PE teacher was also startled.

He'd seen so many fake falls, but this student number nine's fall looked incredibly real!

Just as he was about to go over, he saw a dark shadow sweep past him and rush towards student number nine on the track.

"Did you hurt yourself?"

Jiang Zong held Lin Ting's shoulder and asked anxiously.

Although he saw that her technique was correct, there was no guarantee that she wouldn't get scratched or scraped if she fell on the dirt road.

Lin Ting squinted and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, the PE teacher didn't pick it up."

Jiang Zong had no interest in listening to her nonsense. When he saw that there were several bloody scratches on her hands, he immediately picked her up and ran wildly towards the edge of the playground.

The students in the audience exclaimed, "Wow!"

We should have shown them this sooner!

This is much more exciting than a long-distance race!
