At exactly 8:00, accompanied by the rousing music of the military band, the mbers of the national flag squad, university flag formation, referees’ formation, sports association formation, athletes from each departnt, and alumni representatives entered the stadium in sequence.
The students in the stands stood up one by one, applauding and cheering for their peers as they marched across the field.
The students marched in neat steps, shouting loud slogans, and under the guidance of instructors and teachers, they entered the arena in turn, passing by the grandstand as the opening ceremony of the Maiohan Cup gradually unfolded in an unhurried pace...
The scene on the field was very lively!
There were also ticulously prepared performances by sports clubs during the opening ceremony. The soccer and martial arts clubs from Tsinghua University Elentary School, the aerobics club from Tsinghua University High School, the fancy rope skipping club from Tsinghua University High School Fengtai Campus, and the street dance club, martial arts association, taekwondo association, and rhythmic gymnastics association from Tsinghua University took turns to perform!
From such a grand arrangent, it was evident how magnificent an event the Maiohan Cup was at Tsinghua!
Minal had completely forgotten the sadness of Ye Xi’s quiet departure, throwing herself into the sports et with spirited excitent and a carefree smile on her face.
"It’s so lively, Sangzhi~"
"Yeah."
Beside her, Pu Sangzhi was less enthusiastic, not particularly interested in the noisy performances around her.
Maybe it’s because she only participated in one event this year...
Without a sense of involvent, Pu Sangzhi naturally had less interest in the sports et. Moreover, the sudden appearance of Ye Xi still disturbed her mind...
The guilt that had gradually faded over ti now surged back into her heart...
Reaching this point with Ye Xi was, after all, a regret in Pu Sangzhi’s heart. If only they could have maintained their sibling relationship to the end...
After the entrance ceremony and performances ended, the university leaders delivered the opening speech on the podium: "Throughout the over a century-long history of Tsinghua University, sports have always been an important part and a distinctive feature of school education. ’Tsinghua’s playground is Tsinghua’s classroom’!"
"In last year’s film ’From All Sides,’ which reflects a century of Tsinghua’s history, there was a scene of Mr. Maiohan personally leading students running in the rain, which is a reflection of Tsinghua’s sports tradition..."
The Maiohan Cup sports et was nad after Mr. Maiohan back in the day. He is a figure with remarkable achievents in Tsinghua’s history!
Being at Tsinghua, a school with a sowhat long history and rich cultural heritage, is a source of pride for all Tsinghua students.
Pu Sangzhi had heard about the film ’From All Sides’ multiple tis from classmates and teachers, and Huo Feng ntioned it several tis.
She herself watched this movie several tis, gaining different insights each ti.
But the spirit conveyed by this movie is the Tsinghua spirit, the spirit of dedication.
The higher one’s knowledge and greater one’s ability, the more one understands the importance of contribution!
The Tsinghua spirit her father instilled in her from a young age was just that...
So, she aspired from a young age to take Tsinghua as her goal, aiming to serve the country and beco soone who can contribute to the progress of society.
And at this very mont...
On the other side of the field, in the computer science departnt’s class, Huo Feng listened to the university leaders’ speech.
He had only one passionate thought: once he had the ans in the future, he would also film a simple version of ’From All Sides’!
...
After a spirited opening ceremony, the Maiohan Cup sports et comnced with the athletics competitions!
All 62 departnts of the university, each with four grades, and each grade with varying numbers of classes, allowed students from freshman to junior year to participate.
So, even though it was just an athletics competition, it was enough to keep students from all departnts busy for several days.
The track and field events included 100 ters, 200 ters, 400 ters, 800 ters, 1500 ters, and 3000 ters, among other individual short and long-distance races.
It also included 4x400 ters, 4x800 ters, 4x100 ters, and other relay races.
With so many departnts and so many events, at least three days were needed for the competitions.
So, the students from various departnts were going to be quite busy in the days to co.
After the opening ceremony, the track on the field was cleared, and the first 400-ter race officially began.
Huo Feng, wearing the customized sportswear of the computer science departnt, wandered around the field. His races hadn’t started yet, with one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and another one tomorrow morning.
At this mont, he was relaxed and unhurried, strolling around the field as if nothing was going on.
Of course, he was also looking for Pu Sangzhi.
Since their departnts were too far apart before, Huo Feng hadn’t found Pu Sangzhi yet.
He called Pu Sangzhi, and they exchanged their locations, after which Huo Feng told Pu Sangzhi to stay put, and he would go find her.
Huo Feng walked leisurely toward the location Pu Sangzhi ntioned, weaving through the crowded field...
Just as he spotted Pu Sangzhi from a distance, Huo Feng, with a look of delight, prepared to walk toward her...
But before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by soone!
"Hey, Huo Feng! Long ti no see!"
The person stopping him was none other than Wu Di!
What a coincidence...
Wu Di is volunteering here today because You Xinran is participating in quite a few events. Although the sophomore competitions are tomorrow, she ca to today’s opening ceremony as well...
Wu Di originally ca to try his luck, hoping to bump into You Xinran over these two days, maybe cheer her on...
Unexpectedly...
He hadn’t even had a chance to encounter You Xinran but ran into Huo Feng first!
Wu Di imdiately walked up to stop Huo Feng, greeting him with a grin, "Are you competing later? How many events are you in?"
Huo Feng hadn’t seen Wu Di for a while, so he paused to chat for a bit, "Looking at my physique, I must be eagerly signing up! Three track events!"
"Wow! Well done, young man!"
Wu Di patted Huo Feng’s shoulder, "When are you competing? I’ll cheer you on! I’ll bring you water later!"
Upon hearing that, Huo Feng noticed Wu Di wearing a volunteer armband, "Well then, Brother Wu Di, you’re volunteering here, huh."
"Hehe~"
Wu Di flashed a toothy grin, "My goddess should be here too, found a way to get involved here to cheer her on."
Huo Feng raised an eyebrow, "Your goddess?"
Wu Di nodded, nudging Huo Feng’s chest with his elbow, "You know her. She’s the one who took my first kiss."
"Oh."
With Wu Di’s reminder, a woman who haunted Huo Feng’s mories appeared in his mind, "Then keep it up, I’m off to find my wife."
"Huo Feng, what are you competing in? When is it? I’ll cheer you on." Wu Di asked hurriedly.
"400 ters, 800 ters, 4x800 relay, racing the 800 ters this morning. This afternoon is the 400 ters, and tomorrow morning is the relay."
Huo Feng gave Wu Di a detailed answer, patting Wu Di’s chest along the way, "You can bring a bottle of water now, I’m thirsty!"
"Hey, wait for , I’ll get it right away!" Wu Di agreed eagerly and ran off...
Huo Feng liked Wu Di’s silly, eager-to-please deanor, reminding him of his sons back in high school!
"Hey!"
Huo Feng called out to Wu Di again, "I’m going to find my wife, she’s over there, bring it to later!"
"Got it! Wait for !" Wu Di shouted back, running off excitedly.
As a volunteer, Wu Di’s goal on this track was to serve the athletes.
He swiftly ran to the volunteer assembly point, grabbed 4 bottles of water in a hurry, stuffed two bottles on the left and two on the right, and turned to run back toward Huo Feng.
Originally, his goal was clear, running straight toward Huo Feng’s direction...
But before he got halfway there, a figure suddenly flashed at the corner of his eye!
"Hmm?!"
Wu Di froze on the spot, turned his head, and saw You Xinran not far away...
"Wow!"
At this mont, Wu Di didn’t want to find Huo Feng anymore.
He quickly changed direction and hurriedly ran toward You Xinran...
He finally found his goddess!
In such a big place, it’s not easy!
Wu Di soon ran up to You Xinran, who was talking with her female classmates at the ti. Wu Di’s sudden appearance startled her.
You Xinran glanced at him briefly and then continued talking with her classmates, ignoring him.
Wu Di patiently waited until they almost finished chatting, then offered the water he held, "Would you like a drink, ladies?"
"Is it free?" one of the female classmates beside You Xinran asked.
Wu Di quickly replied, "Free, free! It’s the school’s water!"
Each of the female classmates took a bottle, and Wu Di shyly handed the last one to You Xinran...
You Xinran accepted it with a blank expression, "Thanks."
Wu Di asked with a silly grin, "Hehe, Xinran, where are you heading next? The sophomore competitions are tomorrow, right?"
You Xinran replied, "Yeah, I’m leaving."
After saying that, You Xinran was about to leave...
Wu Di couldn’t bear to see her go!
In a mont of urgency and panic, he blurted out, "Uh, uh... Huo Feng has a match today, do you want to stay and watch?"
As soon as he said that, You Xinran’s footsteps ca to a halt...
