Chapter 213

Xiaoqi started running but did not run very fast.

She quite enjoyed the feeling of running in the scenic campus.

The air was fresh, the blue sky and white clouds picturesque, and the sunshine warm - everything put her in a happy mood.

Then she saw a familiar figure dash by swiftly beside her.

Mainly it was his pants fluttering about, even reflecting the sunlight, and there was a gold chain around his neck too - it was not common to see such boys on campus.

In a flash she just saw his back, actually Xiaoqi wanted to say, don't run too fast, it's still quite a distance from here to Bagua Temple, running so fast now would mean you can’t run later.

Li Weijin was also quite confused, he had meant to run up to classmate Su Xiaoqi's side, to run alongside her.

But he had accidentally run too fast instead, and ended up ahead of her.

He was too embarrassed to look back.

He could only continue running aloofly.

And thinking that she was right behind him, he felt his spine tighten up, not daring to relax at all, and ran more earnestly than ever.

In fact he was overthinking it. Xiaoqi was quite focused when running, and did not keep staring at Li Weijin the whole time.

For running, Xiaoqi was already quite enjoying it, and she had just started running - to her this was just warming up.

She felt that before she knew it, she had already arrived at the new district. Xiaoqi had also rested briefly in the middle, taking a small sip from her water bottle, before continuing her run.

Whereas the Li Weijin in front, he had a great physique and exercised regularly, but long distance running was not something one could definitely do just because they had a good body and worked out. Just like her roommate Wei Cheng also had quite a fit body, and worked on the family farm, but could not run long distances. Wei Cheng did not have the habit, her breathing was not adjusted well, her physical state was also not adjusted well, she put force on uneven spots, she would still get very tired running.

Li Weijin was slightly better, he had at least run on the treadmill before, so he would not look as unseemly, but for him to maintain a relatively fast pace the whole way was still very tiring, exceeding his usual workout.

When he arrived at the new district, he also rested briefly. Pretending casually, he turned and looked back. And he discovered classmate Su Xiaoqi had steadily and breezily caught up, looking quite flushed, and cuter than usual.

He took a deep breath. He could not stop. He definitely could not lose to a girl.

Now in Li Weijin's heart there was an extra competitive spirit, as he continued running. From the new district to the foot of Bagua Temple mountain, he actually already felt his legs trembling weakly. But it seemed there was no one ahead. Could he have come in first?

To be far ahead in first place was also very remarkable. He had finally exceeded classmate Su in something. Li Weijin felt a little secret delight. Although extremely tired, he still persisted in running.

Xiaoqi was not far behind. She maintained her strength.

She did not speed up, because there would be an uphill slope later. She had walked this road before when coming to driving school. Running uphill and running on flat ground were completely different concepts. Running uphill would be at least twice as tiring.

And if the slope was very steep, it could be many times more tiring. In any case it was not on the same order of magnitude. Also running uphill was a test on the knees. Running poorly could easily lead to injury.

All these were taught by Xiaoqi's fitness coach. She was not good at other things, but she was quite good at learning.

Seeing Li Weijin in front, she wondered if she should call out to warn him. But she felt Li Weijin was bad news. It was best not to get intimate.

She did not expect that classmate Li Weijin actually had quite a fit body. She had only ever looked at how good-looking he was before, and did not realize he actually had such a good physique. His running posture was also extremely attractive.

Now that they were off campus, on this uphill road, there were basically only the two of them, one in front and one behind.

While Li Weijin was running, his breathing was quite heavy. He also gradually slowed down.

He mocked himself inwardly. If he told this to his group of friends, they would probably laugh themselves to death.

He liked a girl and wanted to chase a girl, yet he ended up getting chased by the girl for a stretch...

The mountain road curved upwards. At the turns he could still see Su Xiaoqi behind. He suddenly felt very excited again.

It really was rare for it to be just the two of them.

He was actually extremely, extremely tired. He felt like even his breathing sounded like a donkey. But deep down he still felt a constant stream of drive, urging him to keep running.

The mountain road had eighteen bends.

Even though it was a cement road, there were still some gravel and pebbles on it.

Li Weijin who was running with great effort, broke through his physical limits. He actually really saw the temple in the not too far distance.

If he told his friends about his actions today, they would probably be able to laugh at him for a year. He liked a girl and wanted to chase a girl, yet he ended up getting chased by the girl for a stretch...

Xiaoqi did not expect the aloof Li Weijin to have such rich psychological activity. She brought her phone and wore earpieces. On the way she was still listening to Japanese songs, Japanese conversational language etc, making full use of time throughout.

Because she was mentally prepared, she was particularly attentive around the uphill slope area, and adjusted her breathing etc quite well. Although tiring, she would not be tired like a dying dog. Her condition was still great.

The main thing was, for the entire run here, it was not even 30,000 steps. She had not reached her usual amount of exercise. So it was still very easy.

She felt it opened up in front. She looked up. It seemed Bagua Temple was approaching very soon.

The routes to Bagua Temple and driving school split midway. She originally thought Bagua Temple was quite near. She did not expect they ran for quite a while.

Seeing the destination, running seemed even easier.

And so Xiaoqi saw classmate Li Weijin in front. Not sure if he had stepped on some slippery pebbles, but that attractive figure went thud...and fell down...

Xiaoqi quickly removed her earpiece and sped up running forward.

She saw the pitiful sight of Li Weijin kneeling on the ground. Where he was on the ground, there was a pile of crushed rocks. He supported himself with both hands. Both palms seemed to be bleeding from scraping the ground.

And his beautiful fluttering pants were torn at the knees, revealing fair tender knees. It seemed to be badly grazed, not just skin breaking but also blood.

But seeing his pained frown, Xiaoqi felt it should not be just graze pain. Could it be broken bone or fracture?

"Are you okay? Which part hurts the most?"

There were tears in Li Weijin's eyes. What hurt the most in his heart was...

Why did he have to be so embarrassed in front of Su Xiaoqi?

But he still said aloofly: "My knees hurt a bit but my ankles feel more painful. Think I sprained them."

In fact it really hurt a lot. It made him ignore the scrape wounds on his knees and palms.

Xiaoqi did not expect this young master to be hurting so much that tears were about to fall. His eyes were wet and shiny, it made her heart thump wildly.

Not daring to look more at his face, Xiaoqi pulled up his pant leg. Indeed that ankle seemed to be swollen already, at a slightly different angle.

Li Weijin really hurt a lot, but looking at Su Xiaoqi's fair, slender fingers - her fingernails were not styled, just naturally soft pink fingernails - feeling those icy cool fingers on his feet, his clavicle burned and tingled again.

Now he did not know whether it was his foot or somewhere else that hurt more.

His entire being felt a little dizzy.

"There should be people in the temple in front. Let me bring you there first to see if they can help treat simply." Xiaoqi looked at the distance. Bagua Temple was near. It was still better to head there first rather than being midway on the road just in case a vehicle came by or something.

"Mm." Li Weijin agreed. Wanting to stand, he realized one ankle was swollen and simply could not bear weight. And the other knee was also fiery pain.

He almost fell again.

Xiaoqi said, "Don't move around. Let me help you."

She definitely did not want the young master before her eyes to be hurt again. Although she never formally learned first aid or such, having stayed in the hospital basement with her aunt for four years, she had seen quite a bit. And thinking how one fall made him look like crying already, she bent down and carried Li Weijin up, then walked forward.

Li Weijin: ...This is bad... He had actually been princess carried. He was princess carried by the girl he liked... It should not be this way...

His face still did not blush, his heartbeat still did not quicken, but his collarbone burned and tingled, even his breathing felt a little difficult.

Then he could somehow still hear the sound of Su Xiaoqi's earphones hanging on her collar - it was Japanese... Li Weijin had never learned Japanese, but he had seen Japanese videos... his friends had dragged him to watch them... he instantly blushed all over, feeling hot and tingly, both itchy and uncomfortable, with his eyes watering as well.
