In Every Life [Jenlisa]

Chapter 34

There's no clear boundary between winter and spring in Haishi.

It seems that overnight, the cold wind has disappeared and the tree branches have sprouted new buds.

In early March, classmates shed their heavy winter uniforms and donned light and colorful spring uniforms.

Mina's gossip was indeed true.

During this week's class meeting, the homeroom teacher announced the sports meet.

However, the students in the advanced class were not enthusiastic about the sports meet. The boys were okay and managed to fill up all the spots in the events, but there were relatively few girls in the class, and after a few days, there were still many spots left.

The homeroom teacher looked at the empty list and became worried.

Finally, she announced that each girl must sign up for one event.

Jennie arrived late and only the 1,200-meter long-distance race was left. The sports committee member was a tall and strong boy.

He looked at Jennie, who had a troubled expression, and kindly suggested, "Why don't you try finding someone else who is willing to switch with you?"

The spring sunshine poured down, and the girl in front of him stood in a warm yellow light. Her small face was as white as snow, and her slim school uniform outlined her curvy waist.

She looked delicate and weak, and the sports committee member thought to himself that she would probably faint after running a few steps.

Jennie sighed, "Forget it."

Since this was the leftover option, it was definitely not something anyone wanted.

After all, she was late to sign up, so she had to accept her fate.

But even for an 800-meter test, she needed to prepare herself mentally a week in advance.

This 1,200-meter test would be enough to make her suffer for half a month.

The slightly warm spring breeze blew by, and the shadows of the trees on the playground swayed in the evening.

"How many minutes has it been this time?" Jennie leaned on her knees, a few strands of hair dampened by sweat sticking to her face.

Lisa looked at the stopwatch in her hand. "Six minutes and forty-five seconds."

A few drops of sweat slid down the girl's smooth forehead.

She casually wiped it away with her hand, her voice muffled.

"This is terrible. I'm sure I'll be last if I run like this."

"No, you won't," Lisa comforted her in a gentle voice.

"You've already, made a lot of progress."

From not being able to complete the entire course at the beginning, to seven and a half minutes, seven minutes, in half a month, she slowly made progress step by step.

Jennie was not one to shy away from challenges. Perhaps it was because she grew up in a privileged family, loved and pampered by her family, that she developed a resilient character. She never avoided difficulties, but chose to face them head-on.

But running is not something that can be learned in just a few days.

She pursed her lips, feeling a tightness in her chest after finishing her run.

Her voice was tinged with frustration as she spoke, "If it weren't for you leading me, I wouldn't have been able to run the whole way."

At first, she couldn't even run the entire distance, but Lisa suggested that he lead her during their next practice.
