Zhen Yuanbai was very happy in his heart.
Shi Bufan was the one who couldn't hold in the urge to talk to him first, so he must like himself a lot. That's why he admitted defeat.
In the end, Shi Bufan agreed to attend the sports competition, but the precondition was that Zhen Yuanbai would come and train with him every day after school. Shi Bufan had already admitted defeat, so Zhen Yuanbai was going to be generous and look past everything. Therefore, they made up. It felt as if Song Mo had eaten a tree full of lemons and he was very jealous of Shi Bufan.
With Zhen Yuanbai's help, Song Mo felt as if it would be very difficult to keep his second place.
Zhen Yuanbai was well-behaved and practiced long-distance running with Shi Bugan. When the latter came back panting, Zhen Yuanbai delivered the towel and warm bottle of water to him. After Shi Bufan took a sip, he knitted his eyebrows and asked, "why is it a bit warm?"
"It's warm." Zhen Yuanbai explained and said, "It's not good to drink too much cold water."
Shi Bufan glanced at his water bottle and then at Zhen Yuanbai's water bottle. It felt as if he had received a token of kindness. Right then, he was in a better mood and said, "Cheer for me when the time comes and I'll get first place for you."
Zhen Yuanbai nodded his head firmly.
Qiu Jing watched as Shi Bufan followed Zhen Yuanbai around like a shadow and received a look of pity. Zhen Yuanbai also noticed that Ming Mai and Qiu Jing had been looking at him strangely. He turned around confusedly and the two immediately shifted their gazes up until Shi Bufan started walking towards the track that one of them came over and asked, "You made up with Brother Shi?"
Zhen Yuanbai hummed in agreement, a bit embarrassed.
Ming Mai said, "You found Brother Shi first?"
Zhen Yuanbai really wanted to retort and say no, but after thinking about it, he considered leaving face for Shi Bufan in front of his friends. Therefore, he nodded gently and said, "Aren't you guys going to practice?"
"We're going to rest for a bit."
After Qiu Jing finished, he pushed Ming Mai and said, "Let's go over there and wash our faces."
The two left together and Zhen Yuanbai looked down to see the towel that Shi Bufan used. He looked up at the young man soaring through the field and thought that since he wouldn't finish running anytime soon, he decided to follow the boys to prepare a towel.
By the sink, Qiu Jing splashed water on his face and didn't care that he got his T-shirt wet either. "The more I think about it, the more pitiful I think our class monitor is."
Ming Mai said, "Brother Shi is really inhumane. Only the two of us know about this. Otherwise, if someone else finds out, who knows what they'll call Brother Shi."
"Who knows? It seems like Brother Shi did care when the class monitor came to visit us the other day. Even though he's a replacement, maybe one day Brother Shi might really care for him."
"It's not like Brother Shi's crush died, so how can a replacement take over the weight of the crush in Brother Shi's heart? If his crush takes notice of him one day, heh. Watch. Brother Shi will definitely mention breaking up with him."
"If it were up to me... Brother Shi used to hate him in the past, but he suddenly likes him now... tsk, as expected. He harbors bad intentions."
They packed up and prepared to leave when they saw Zhen Yuanbai standing there confusedly and in a daze while looking at them.
