Chapter 821: Letting Go of the Big Red Flower

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Bing stood by, his gaze fixed on the two guys who looked down on others with disdain. “Don’t judge my brother with your foolish eyes,” he said.

Though he and his brother had not been practicing martial arts for long, their father had always told them that growing up in the countryside, accustod to running across fields and hills, had given them exceptional endurance. Coupled with their previous intense training, their stability and agility had greatly improved. Su Bing believed in his brother’s ability to defeat Sun Wei.

Indeed, at that mont, although Su Li was drenched in sweat, he felt he could continue the fight for a long ti. Sun Wei’s offensive, on the other hand, had noticeably weakened.

In a brief half-second lull, Su Li seized the opportunity, reaching out to grab the big red flower. Simultaneously, Sun Wei’s vision blurred, and he stumbled.

Su Li’s eyes widened. Without a mont to think, he let go of the big red flower he had just obtained and reached out to grab Sun Wei’s hand. His lips tightened in a grimace of effort as he said, “Hold on.”

What should have been a mont of cheering turned into a mont of shock. The audience was in a state of panic.

Gu Zi rushed to the front, her heart in her throat, cold sweat breaking out on her forehead, even though she knew there wouldn’t be any serious problems.

The school’s ergency personnel quickly sprang into action, rescuing the two boys from the high platform of the final match. Sun Wei had fainted from exhaustion and was taken to the school infirmary.

Su Li stood below the platform, looking back at the big red flower he had let go of. It was only when Gu Zi ran over and hugged him that he ca back to his senses, but he didn’t take the opportunity to act spoiled and seek affection from his mother as he usually would.

Gu Zi knew that although he had saved soone, he was genuinely frightened. She carefully examined his hand, while the dical staff nearby said, “We’ve checked him over. The boy is fine, he might have just strained a muscle. Take this muscle relaxant oil ho and apply it, he’ll be fine. He’s a good boy, take good care of him.”

Gu Zi took the muscle relaxant oil and applied it to Su Li’s entire arm. She listened as Su Li calmly said, “Mom, I’m fine. Don’t worry. It’s just that I let go of the big red flower. I don’t know if I’m still considered the champion.”

At that mont, Su Li hadn’t grown much, but to Gu Zi, he seed reliable and reasSu Ling.

A tear slid down her cheek. “I’m happy,” she said. “You’re amazing. The mont you chose to save soone over keeping your honor, you beca the champion. You didn’t just win the competition, you overca human nature’s worst instincts. You are my pride.”

Gu Zi hugged him again. She was completely certain that Su Li had a sincere, brave, and upright heart. Such a child should not have t the fate described in the original book. Faced with this Su Li, she couldn’t bring herself to tell him to prioritize his own safety. Those words could be said later, but not now.

People from the surrounding crowd also gathered around, praising the young boy. “My goodness, what a warm-hearted and brave little hero. The championship should be yours. Unfortunately, according to tradition, if an accident occurs during the competition, the ranking will be canceled.”

The dical staff mber, who had just picked up the large red flower, handed it to Su Li, tears already streaming down her face. She had never expected to witness such a moving scene while serving as a temporary dic for the school competition. It was an experience she found profoundly rewarding.

Su Li remained silent all the way ho, not uttering a single word. Upon arrival, he simply grabbed a cup of bird’s nest milk and sat quietly by Big Yellow’s doghouse, sipping it slowly.

Gu Zi watched him, unsure of what to say. He cared deeply about the honor, but given the circumstances, the martial arts competition’s lower-grade group championship could not be awarded as usual this year.

Su Bing, understanding his brother’s concerns, approached Gu Zi and said, “Mom, Su Li told last night that he wanted to win the championship certificate and give you the red silk as a gift, to make a beautiful dress. Now, he can’t give you the red silk.”

The prize for this year’s martial arts competition was a large piece of high-quality red silk. Upon learning this, Su Li had made up his mind. He believed that winning the prize and giving it to his mother would be far more aningful than buying her a gift with his pocket money.

Gu Zi understood. In her child’s heart, she was more important than any honor. She walked over to Su Li, squatted down, and asked, “Do you regret throwing away the big red flower?”

Su Li shook his head. “Even if I had another chance, I would still choose to throw away the big red flower. That was my first reaction. However, I was supposed to give you the red silk today.”

Gu Zi smiled and ruffled his hair. “Do you believe that there are exceptions to everything? You perford so well today. Perhaps when the principal finds out, he might make an exception and not cancel the ranking?”

As a mother, how could she let her child down when he cared so much for her? Even if it ant pulling so strings, she would ensure her son had his award ceremony.
