Only After I Was Reborn Did I Realize That I Had Childhood Sweethearts Chapter 178: No Need to Be So Strict About Keeping Track of

In addition to the regular formal school uniforms, each grade at Jiangcheng NOHS had the sa style of sportswear.

The sports pants were a dark navy blue color, with both long pants and shorts available. The sports jackets had so differences, with the middle part being white. The cuffs for boys were navy blue, while for girls, they were red.

The uniformity of the attire turned the enormous playground of Jiangcheng NOHS into an ocean interwoven with red, black, and white, creating a vivid picture of youth.

Accompanied by the lodious tune of the March of the Athletes the opening ceremony of the 2011 Jiangcheng NOHS’s Autumn Sports Festival officially began.

After the principal’s opening speech, everyone imdiately proceeded with the first event, the 20x50m relay race. This event was considered a unique event of the school’s sports festival, with the principal personally firing the starting pistol every ti.

With such a ceremonious event, each class couldn’t afford to be careless. They quickly gathered in their respective lanes. This competition required 10 boys and 10 girls from each class to line up on the opposite sides of the race area and use a shuttle relay[1] race to determine the winner with the shortest ti.

Xia Yuan was the second runner in the girls’ group of Class 5. Standing in front of her was the class monitor, Lin Youxi, and behind her was Liu Xiaoyu. The girls’ side was filled with petite figures, except for Xiang Bingbing, who stood tall like a giant. She imdiately noticed Xia Yuan and her teammates and waved to greet them.

“You’re participating too! Let’s cheer each other on.”

Xia Yuan saw that Xiang Bingbing was also the second runner, just like her, and worried that she would be overtaken by her by a wide margin, which would be embarrassing. So she raised her hand and greeted Xiang Bingbing, saying, “Bingbing, don’t run too fast when it’s your turn. Could you slow down a bit?”

Xia Yuan and Xiang Bingbing were in different teams, and with the repetitive loop of the March of the Athletes playing loudly, it was quite noisy. After hearing Xia Yuan’s words, Xiang Bingbing imdiately made a thumbs-up gesture to her:

“OK, I promise I won’t hold back! Let show you the true strength of our dragon team!”

“That’s not what I ant!”

Xia Yuan was about to explain further when Lin Youxi in front of her turned back and reminded her, “It’s okay, just focus on running. I’ll help you create so distance.”

With the sound of the principal’s pistol, the 20x50m relay race for the first-year students officially began. The boys sprinted towards the girls’ side with all their might, waving the baton, and then handing it over.

The boys from Class 5 were a bit slower in passing the baton, but once Lin Youxi received it, she dashed forward like a spring. The weather was a bit hot today, so everyone was wearing athletic shorts, but Lin Youxi had on a pair of black tights under hers. With her long legs taking swift strides like the wind, she quickly overtook all the other girls around her.

Great, she’s so fast!

After Lin Youxi handed off the baton, the boy from Class 5 also ran very fast. Capitalizing on the advantage Lin Youxi had created, he had a great opportunity to sprint and quickly passed the baton to Xia Yuan.

When Xia Yuan started running, a few teams from neighboring classes were still running towards the girls.

That’s right, I must keep up this montum!

Wearing her sportswear, Xia Yuan swung her arms and waved the baton as she ran forward. However, she was also concerned about certain areas of her body being too noticeable while running, so her arm-swinging motion wasn’t very large, which slowed down her sprinting speed.

At this mont, loud shouts ca from behind Xia Yuan.

“Whoa… whoa… whoa!”

In just one stride, Xiang Bingbing covered the distance that the girls next to her took two or three steps to cover. In a flash, she had caught up to Xia Yuan, and it was i Fang who was waiting for her to pass the baton.

The 50-ter distance was short, but after all, Xia Yuan’s beloved childhood sweetheart was watching from the opposite side. A sense of not wanting to lose surged within her, and she didn’t want to be easily overtaken by Xiang Bingbing.

So she let go of her reservations, extended her arms with a wide range of motion, and ran with all her might, handing the baton over to the male student from her class.

Almost at the sa ti, Xiang Bingbing also dashed toward i Fang——

Bang!

Xiang Bingbing’s charging montum couldn’t be stopped in ti. She almost collided head-on with i Fang, nearly sending him flying.

i Fang, who took a heavy blow, took several large steps backward. He managed to stay on his feet, thanks to Wan Chaoxiong and the boys behind him blocking him from being knocked down.

The people around, including Xiang Bingbing, showed concern for his condition. i Fang, feeling a bit dizzy, didn’t fall down. He gritted his teeth, held the baton, and continued to run forward, completing his 50 ters with a determined effort.

The competition ended, and the Aviation class erged as the final winner of the first-year’s 20x50m relay.

This class had no girls; all participants were boys. They just wore helts to increase the weight and difficulty for themselves to make the competition fair.

Afterward, Xiang Bingbing felt extrely guilty about accidentally colliding with i Fang.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry… I didn’t an to… 50 ters is just too short, I couldn’t react in ti.”

“It’s okay, it’s normal.”

i Fang rubbed his nose and joked with Xiang Bingbing, “According to Newton’s first law, the greater the mass, the greater the inertia…”

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt a warm stream and bright red blood flowed out of his nose.

“You’re having a nosebleed!”

“Oh… I’ll go to the infirmary.”

“I’ll go with you!” Xiang Bingbing crouched down, “Co on, I’ll carry you there!”

“No need, I can go by myself.”

“That’s not right. It’s my fault—If you feel embarrassed, I won’t carry you, I’ll just go with you.”

Xiang Bingbing stood up and held i Fang’s arm, intending to take him to the infirmary. At this mont, Xia Yuan caught up with them.

“Bingbing, don’t you have another competition to participate in later? I’ll go with Ah Fang, it’s fine…”

It took a lot of convincing from Xia Yuan to persuade Xiang Bingbing to prepare for the next competition. Then she took out a pack of tissues she had just bought and gave it to i Fang, asking him to plug his nose and apply pressure to stop the bleeding.

“In fact, going to the infirmary for a nosebleed won’t do much. I’ll find a place to sit and rest for a while.”

“But we need to make sure your nose isn’t broken. You were hit pretty hard by Bingbing just now… You don’t have to push yourself to keep running.”

As Xia Yuan kept talking, she began to sound very distressed, which i Fang found quite amusing.

“Do you feel sorry for ?”

“I-If I don’t feel sorry for you, who will? Of course, Youxi also feels sorry for you, but she needs to prepare for the high jump competition, so I’ll take care of you.”

“It’s not a serious injury. It’s not that exaggerated.”

“Let’s just make sure you’re okay first.”

Guided by Xia Yuan, i Fang arrived at the infirmary. After examining him, the school nurse in the infirmary said, “It doesn’t seem to be a fracture. Just keep an eye on it for now. There are ice packs in the infirmary. Apply one for cold compression to help stop the bleeding.”

“Do… do we need an X-ray to check?”

The nurse furrowed her eyebrows at Xia Yuan’s inquiry. “We don’t have that kind of equipnt in the infirmary. Young people recover quickly, and even if there’s a slight fracture, it can heal on its own. Don’t worry.”

Xia Yuan got an ice pack from the school nurse and then both of them sat down on chairs. Xia Yuan gently applied the ice pack to i Fang’s nose, causing him to grimace in pain.

“Endure it for a bit, you’ll be fine soon.”

Xia Yuan continued to hold the ice pack on i Fang’s nose when she suddenly couldn’t help but laugh.

“I just rembered, back in kindergarten, you also had a nosebleed the sa day when you wet the bed. Do you rember?”

“I rember, how could I forget?”

i Fang nodded and smiled, “Yes, Youxi pushed . She pushed directly to the ground and I fell on the concrete floor. You ran over to help stop the bleeding, told to tilt my head back, then dabbed water on the back of my neck.”

“That was actually the wrong thing to do. It wouldn’t stop the bleeding at all; it would only make the blood flow into the stomach.”

i Fang thought to himself: “Of course, I already knew that ten years ago.”

“Yeah… I was quite naive back then,” Xia Yuan said. “But you know, back then I was quite reliable, and the other kids admired . But now, not anymore.”

“What do you an not anymore? You’re becoming a star of our school .”

“Well, most of that is thanks to Ah Fang. I wouldn’t be able to do it alone…”

Xia Yuan muttered, “I’ve always had this feeling that after entering middle school, I rely on you for everything. Without you, I’m nothing, and I can’t accomplish anything.”

“I just helped a little. You were able to achieve those things because of your own efforts, and let’s not forget how amazing your singing is. Nobody in this school can compare to our Yuan Yuan, right? Haha.”

“Stop laughing like that, or your nose will be crooked.”

i Fang reached out and pinched Xia Yuan’s palm.

“If my nose really becos crooked, will you dislike in the future?”

“Hmph, you already know the answer and yet you still asked.”

Xia Yuan retaliated by pinching i Fang’s hand, and the two of them chatted affectionately, causing the displeasure of the school nurse.

She pushed up her glasses and tapped the table to remind them: “Hey, you two students, once you’ve finished the cold compress treatnt, go back and continue participating in the sports festival. Don’t treat this place as a place for flirting. I’m still here, so don’t be so unruly. If I weren’t here, you two would probably turn this place upside down. Which classes are you two from?”

“Sorry, sorry! We’ll leave right away!”

Blushing, Xia Yuan pulled i Fang away from the infirmary, and the two of them found a small stone step near the track and field area to sit down.

“That school nurse was so grumpy, how annoying! She actually said we were flirting!”

“It’s not that different…”

Xia Yuan and i Fang looked around and found that the area was filled with couples holding hands and leaning on each other’s shoulders, whispering sweet nothings to each other.

Today, there were no classes all day, and people not participating in events could freely move around the school. It was also an open day, allowing outsiders to enter.

That’s why everyone loves the sports festival so much.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yuan lowered her head and twirled her hair a little embarrassedly. She felt like she was being morally condemned.

Now, Youxi is fighting for the honor of our Class 5. I can’t sneak away at this ti; otherwise, I would be too shaless…

“What’s wrong with you?”

“N-Nothing…”

Xia Yuan put down the ice pack and helped i Fang remove the tissue soaked with blood from his nose.

“It seems like the bleeding has stopped.”

“Mhm.”

Xia Yuan held i Fang’s face and examined it from left to right.

“Is my nose crooked?”

“Well… it’s hard to tell.”

“Can you co closer and take a look?”

Xia Yuan hesitated for a mont, then leaned in.

What am I doing?! This action is like I’m about to kiss him!

Xia Yuan blushed slightly. She was now at a loss, only able to bow her body and gaze at i Fang, with her gaze unintentionally shifting towards his attractive lips.

i Fang also stared at her intently.

This made Xia Yuan couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.

If I kiss him right now, Ah Fang won’t be able to react in ti for sure.

But… if I do that… he might get angry.

But…but I really want to kiss Ah Fang…

Ever since she saw others kissing during her second year of middle school, Xia Yuan had concealed these little devilish thoughts in her heart, and she had always maintained the modesty and restraint that a girl should have.

“So… any problem?”

“I-I don’t think so…”

Xia Yuan’s angelic conscience overca her devilish desire. She was about to end the close eye contact with i Fang and return to her seat when she noticed a hint of red on i Fang’s cheek.

“There’s still a bit of bloodstain here on your face. Shall I wipe it for you?”

“Mhm, sure.”

Unnoticed by i Fang, Xia Yuan suddenly leaned forward and lightly licked his cheek.

“This way, it’s clean.”

When Xia Yuan made this gesture, her entire brain seed to be in a feverish state, controlled by a devilish desire.

After Xia Yuan gave i Fang a light lick on his cheek, i Fang was stunned for a mont, as well as Xia Yuan after she finished speaking.

Suddenly, she turned red up to the roots of her hair, just like a steam girl.

W-w-w-what did I just do?!

Xia Yuan didn’t dare to look at i Fang’s face. Although their relationship had reached this level, she still couldn’t quite guess his thoughts, and she was afraid of making him angry.

But Ah Fang doesn’t seem angry.

Xia Yuan stole a glance at i Fang.

She saw him covering the spot where she had licked, still looking a bit dazed.

At that mont, i Fang happened to turn his head towards Xia Yuan, who imdiately lowered her head nervously, not daring to look at him.

This girl… she’s quite bold.

She never dared to do such a thing before.

It’s all Yue Xinyi’s fault, for always recomnding those weird novels. Youxi and Yuan Yuan have both been corrupted!

i Fang gently patted Xia Yuan’s head, and she, like a child who had done sothing wrong, didn’t dare to lift her head.

“Um…”

“Um…”

Both of them made muffled sounds and murmured to each other awkwardly, and the subtle atmosphere continued until i Fang spoke.

“Where did you learn this move?”

“W-what do you an move? I-I just wiped it up… isn’t it clean now?”

“There’s no more bloodstain on my face now, only Yuan Yuan’s saliva.”

“T-Then let wipe it again.”

It looks like he’s disgusted with …

If Youxi did sothing like this, would Ah Fang be disgusted with her?

Xia Yuan didn’t know.

With a sowhat disappointed heart, Xia Yuan, carrying a bit of negative emotion, was about to take out a tissue to help i Fang wipe his face. But at this mont, i Fang leaned towards her cheek and licked her as well.

“Here, this is for you. I always repay my debts.”

“…”

After being licked, Xia Yuan quickly covered her cheek, once again turning into a steam girl. Her heart was thumping wildly.

“Why… are you disgusted with ?” i Fang asked.

Xia Yuan vigorously shook her head.

“B-But… Ah Fang, your lick was too big. You owe , so I have to lick you back a little more.”

“Let’s not do that, it’ll never end! At least not at school…it’ll affect the school’s reputation.”

“Mm-hmm…” Xia Yuan nodded. “Then how about after the sports festival is over?”

Well, just one last ti then. And also, there’s no need to be so strict about keeping track of who owes who.”

“Mm-hmm, I got it!”

Xia Yuan gazed into i Fang’s eyes, filled with surging emotions, and i Fang had already vaguely felt that sothing terrifying was gradually awakening inside Yuan Yuan.
