He Jing thought for a moment. “Sprint, relay, and skipping rope.”
Zheng Cheng was overjoyed and quickly noted it down.
With the first person daring to try, the other girls bit their lips and stood up bravely, reporting the sports that they could barely accept.
As a result, all the less difficult sports have been registered. A girl pointed at weightlifting on the list and said, “Who’s going to do this?”
The girls in the class took a step back in unison, their faces filled with horror.
No, they didn’t want to lift weights.
Zheng Cheng couldn’t help but look troubled. Which girl would want to participate in sports like weightlifting and hurdles, which were easy to fail and unsightly? The school had a problem too, even setting up a sport like weightlifting. He looked at Cheng Yi, the only student who didn’t sign up for any of the events, and said, “Student Cheng Yi, look…”
Cheng Yi raised her head in panic. Fear flashed across her beautiful eyes as she whispered, “I… I’m not very strong… Can I sign up for something else?” However, the other events were almost all filled up.
Zheng Cheng still tried to persuade her, “Student Cheng Yi, no one will seriously compete in weightlifting. Just walk through the process and lift it casually.”
Cheng Yi lowered her head, her voice even softer and weaker, “I can’t do it.”
As if afraid that everyone would dislike her, she quickly said, “I can sprint, relay, and skip rope.” This…
How was this possible?
Sprinting, rope skipping, and relay were all popular events. They were all snatched up in the blink of an eye. If she wanted to participate in these events, she could only exchange with others. Who would be so stupid as to exchange with her?
Suddenly, a pleasant and cold female voice sounded. “I’ll change with her.”
Everyone turned around and saw He Jing.
Zheng Cheng was so touched that tears welled up in his eyes.
He Jing’s expression was indifferent.
As soon as the words sprinting, rope skipping, and relay came out, she knew that she was going to suffer. According to the law of novels, the things that the female protagonist didn’t want to do would automatically be left out.
Instead of being forced to accept it, she might as well take the initiative and win some dignity and favor. After all, the honor of the group was above everything else. She would just take it as sacrificing herself for the class.
Cheng Yi was also delighted. She was afraid that He Jing would go back on her words. She quickly said, “Thank you, Student He Jing!”
He Jing couldn’t be bothered with her. She turned to Zheng Cheng and said, “No need. Please cross out the three events that I originally signed up for. I’ll sign up for weightlifting, the 1000m sprint, and the hurdles.”
Zheng Cheng was so ecstatic that he almost wanted to reward He Jing with a silk banner on the spot. He thought, “God, what kind of person was this?”
This time, not only were there people who were willing to do weightlifting, but even the 1000m sprint and hurdles were also solved.
He crossed out He Jing’s name and filled it in again. He said enthusiastically, “Student He Jing, I have a sports field at home. You can come to my house to practice after school. My nanny is super good at making desserts.”
He Jing was amused. “Okay, thank you.”
Zheng Cheng couldn’t help but find He Jing more adorable the more he looked. He blushed and scratched his head shyly.
The other girls also felt admiration for He Jing. If He Jing’s excellence in academics made people jealous, standing up for the class at such a crucial moment made her the hero of the entire class.
On the other hand, Cheng Yi…
Forget it, at least she participated, so they wouldn’t say much.
In short, the characters of the two were evident.
Sensing the subtle change in the atmosphere in the classroom, Cheng Yi knew that she was being despised again, and her joy from before disappeared.
She felt rather upset and clenched her fists by her side. She wondered why she always ended up as He Jing’s foil, like a clown.
She was clearly the real daughter.
If anyone should play second fiddle, it should be He Jing being the foil.
Thinking of this, she took a step forward and pretended to be relaxed as she said, “Student He Jing, thank you for your contribution to the class. I’ll treat you to milk tea after school. I hope you don’t mind..”
