The next day.

Huo Guining found Fan Xingzhou and announced her decision to participate in the 4x400 meter women's relay.

Fan Xingzhou responded with a faint smile, showing little emotional reaction.

There was still a week until the sports meet.

Besides Huo Guining, the other participants in the women's relay were Chen Xi, Fang Yuan, and Qi Xin.

Huo Guining had a strong competitive spirit. Since she decided to participate, she didn't want to be left behind.

Fortunately, she had been consistently swimming, so her cardiopulmonary function was well-trained.

During the jogging warm-up, she wasn't out of breath.

Chen Xi was different.

She originally disliked sports and only signed up for the relay because no one else had. Worried that Huo Guining might be in a difficult position, she volunteered.

"Aren't... you all... tired?" Chen Xi panted.

Huo Guining wiped the sweat from her face, indicating she was fine.

Fang Yuan and Qi Xin exchanged smiles: "We often play basketball together, so this level of jogging is okay for us."

Chen Xi: Now it seemed she was the odd one out.

She hesitated, looking worried: "Won't I hold you all back?"

Huo Guining thought for a moment: "You might need to practice a bit harder these few days."

Seeing Chen Xi's crestfallen face, she quickly added: "I'll practice with you."

Fang Yuan and Qi Xin chimed in: "Let's all do it together, we only have a few days anyway."

Chen Xi nodded gratefully.

"You two have such a good relationship," Chen Xi, having caught her breath, couldn't keep quiet. She looked at Fang Yuan and Qi Xin with envy, "Unlike me, my friends are scattered like stars in the sky."

Huo Guining burst out laughing.

Fang Yuan, tall with strong features, laughed heartily: "Xin Xin and I have been classmates since elementary school, so we're quite close."

Qi Xin asked curiously: "Why did all your friends scatter?"

Chen Xi sighed deeply, looking wise beyond her years.

Huo Guining didn't stop her from joking around, instead adopting a listening pose.

"My dad is a busy man, changing jobs as frequently as punching a time clock," Chen Xi said with a hint of disdain. "Every time he changes jobs, I have to transfer schools. Over time, my friends just scattered."

After saying this, Chen Xi sighed again.

Qi Xin, petite with dimples when she smiled, said: "That does sound quite unfair for you."

Chen Xi laughed at Qi Xin's serious tone, and soon everyone was laughing together.

However, play time was play time. After the laughter, the four continued their training.

Friday, the day of the sports meet arrived as scheduled.

That morning, Huo Guining unusually didn't oversleep. She got up early, finished her morning routine, had breakfast, and waited for Huo Xiaozheng to drive her to school.

"So early today?" Huo Xiaozheng was a bit surprised.

Huo Guining smiled: "It's the sports meet, after all."
