I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 111 That's why this pure feeling is worth cherishing...

"Me? I can do a shot put and a 100-meter dash."

Liao Haomiao nodded and said calmly, "Oh, that's good. It seems I've perfectly avoided you."

Zhou Heng turned to look at him, chuckled, and asked, "What? Are you afraid to compete with me?"

"Hmm, I've looked into you. Does anyone dare say they can beat you 100%? I want to help the class get first place, not compete with you."

Liao Haomiao nodded in agreement without caring whether Zhou Heng's words were a provocation or mockery.

Zhou Heng was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Liao Haomiao to have such a good attitude. Even after he had said those things, Liao Haomiao hadn't said anything back.

It seems I've learned something from Liao Haomiao again. If it were me and Tang Zhi, we'd probably be constantly mocking each other.

Zhou Heng nodded and said, "Then, I wish you the best of luck in getting first place."

"the same as you."

Liao Haomiao extended his fist. Zhou Heng was slightly taken aback, then smiled and bumped fists with him.

"Ah."

The two walked out of the teaching building together, chatted briefly, and after becoming friends, they would sometimes chat when they bumped into each other after class.

They exchanged contact information, but haven't been in touch since. After all, two guys really don't know what to talk about.

On the day of the school sports meet, the outer perimeter of the school will be opened to allow parents to come in and watch.

Although we couldn't go inside, we were already right next to the venue, separated from the students by only a fence. Some students had already gone over there to chat with their parents.

By this time, a large crowd had gathered outside the fence, almost all of them there to watch and have fun.

Liao Haomiao only glanced at it briefly, but he saw a figure that made him unable to look away, and he frowned.

Zhou Heng glanced at him and noticed that he was staring in one direction, so he asked in confusion:

"What are you looking at? Why are you so focused?"

"There."

Liao Haomiao pointed outside the fence, raised his chin, and his face was very grim.

Zhou Heng looked in the direction Liao Haomiao was pointing and saw two girls in pretty dresses watching from outside the fence.

"What's wrong? Did you see a pretty girl? You still have the mind to look at this?"

Liao Haomiao shook his head, his expression serious and solemn. He sighed and slowly began to speak:

"Remember when I told you that I had a year-long relationship in junior high school? She broke up with me because I did poorly in school."

Zhou Heng nodded and replied, "I remember, how...could it be..."

"Ah, that's it."

"..."

Zhou Heng looked at the two girls again, but even though he squinted, he couldn't make out their faces.

"You have such good eyesight? You can recognize her from this far away?"

"Hmm, if it were Yin Mengran standing there, wouldn't you recognize her?"

"Of course I can recognize it."

Zhou Heng looked in that direction again. The two girls were clearly there to have fun; they were looking around, pointing in one direction and then looking in the other.

Doesn't she go to school?

"I don't know, maybe he just happened to be off today."

"Are you going to say hello to her?"

"..."

Liao Haomiao looked at Zhou Heng, his eyelids drooping, his brows slightly furrowed; his expression was quite intriguing.

"Never mind, never mind. What's her name?"

"Wishing you a peach."

"Okay, stop thinking about it. You seem to care a lot. Do you want to make up with her? Do you want me to go with you to see her?"

Zhou Heng reached out and patted Liao Haomiao on the shoulder, trying to encourage him.

But Liao Haomiao lowered his head, looking slightly disappointed, and shook his head, saying:

"Would I go and humiliate myself? She must have forgotten who I am. If I go to say hello and get asked 'Who are you?', then I can forget about competing today."

"Surely it can't be that bad? You two were together for a year, can't you even be friends?"

"We haven't been in touch for two years, how can we still be friends? Forget it, we were all too young back in junior high, who would care? She's probably just hanging out with friends, so let's not ruin her good mood."

Liao Haomiao exhaled, as if he had completely forgotten his previous thoughts and was in a completely different state of mind.

Zhou Heng ignored him. Since he thought that way, what could he say?

"what ever."

The two stopped discussing the topic and returned to their respective classrooms.

Meanwhile, outside the fence, the two girls were looking around, as if searching for someone.

One of them had big, watery eyes, long eyelashes, rosy cheeks, and was about 1.65 meters tall; she looked very cute.

However, a hint of anxiety appeared on her face, and her eyes searched frantically for something within the fence.

The girl standing to the side sighed:

"Zhu Tao, let's go somewhere else to play. We finally have a day off, let's not look for anything else."

Zhu Tao lowered her head slightly, pursed her lips, and said, "Then... go have fun, I'll stay here."

"Ah...why are you so stubborn? You come here all the time, but when have you ever found him? There are so many students, you don't know which class he's in, and you don't have his contact information. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"Well, there's nothing I can do about that..."

"What's his name?"

"Liao Haomiao..."

"Oh right, that's his name. You said you were only together in junior high, and you didn't know anything back then. Why are you still hung up on him? Was he really that great?"

Zhu Tao looked ahead, reached out and grabbed the railing, a hint of sadness in her eyes, and said softly:

“I just want to explain to him that breaking up with him back then was not my choice. I had no choice. I don’t want him to misunderstand that I broke up with him because of his poor grades. If that were the case, I wouldn’t have been with him for a year.”

"And then what? What's the point of explaining? So much time has passed, he might already have a girlfriend, or he might have already forgotten you. Who would care about this kind of thing?"

"That doesn't matter. I just don't want him to misunderstand me..."

The girl looked helpless and speechless at Zhu Tao's attitude. Looking at Zhu Tao's profile, she wished she could go over and open her head to see what was going on inside.

"You two are really amazing. Two little kids in junior high who didn't know anything, holding hands every day was the limit, and they never even kissed, yet they still stayed together for a year. I really admire you."

Zhu Tao didn't deny it, but nodded and whispered:

"Yes, we didn't understand anything, which is why this pure feeling is so precious..."
