Chapter 597: Race To The Top

“I, I’m not going to trouble Xiao Qin classmate..”

Gong CaiCai was like a rabbit evading the saber-tooth Xiao Qin.

Xiong YaoYue smiled, then happily patted my shoulder and said:

“Then the last part, the glorious task of carrying Gong CaiCai up the mountain will be entrusted to you.”

Gong CaiCai still wanted to decline, but Xiong YaoYue grabbed her backpack straps and forcefully pushed her over my back and she instantly merged with me.

No, not the kind of nasty merging that your dirty mind is thinking of. It was equivalent of the LOL hero “Nunu & Willump”.

Ah, no wonder Xiong YaoYue didn’t want to let anyone else carry Gong CaiCai, it turns out she’s a natural back massager. It was environmentally friendly, pollution free, and helps alleviate the soul.

“I, I think you should put me down.” Gong CaiCai pleaded, “We’ll be scolded if teacher Yu sees us.”

“If teacher Yu tells me parents, then I won’t be able to face them anymore, sob sob..”

How much do you obey your parents? If so, then stop believing in an evil cult or I’ll tell on you to your parents.

“Ahhhhh~~~ Ye Lin classmate’s back was sullied!” Xiao Qin let out a mournful wail after receiving a mental blow.

“Don’t worry.” Xiong YaoYue comforted Xiao Qin, “Ye Lin is your boyfriend and no one will take him away from you, I’m only borrowing his strength a bit. It’s rare for Gong CaiCai to be able to participate in a physical event, so we don’t want her to be left behind.”

Her words were reasonable and gentle which made Xiao Qin hesitate a bit. Right as I was wondering when Xiong YaoYue suddenly became so considerate, she made an evil smile then started running towards the mountain peak while yelling:

“Wahahaha, first place is mines! I’ll be the first to reach the top!”

As I was standing there dumbstruck, she glanced back at me and said proudly:

“Hahaha, you fell for it! I could actually still carry Cai Cai, but it was my plan to push her to you. Now no one can call me stupid anymore.”

“Since my competitors have all been delayed, let’s go!”

Xiong YaoYue said to herself while waving her arms.

“Ah, you fell for it.” Xiao Qin finally reacted.

What’s there to fall for? I wasn’t even competing with her in the first place.

Xiong YaoYue ran at full throttle towards the peak like it was a 100m sprint. She quickly caught up with the back of the group and caused some panic.

“Move, move, move, don’t take my crown!”

I shook my head and continued to dutifully carry Gong CaiCai while Xiao Qin poked Gong CaiCai’s waist from behind with dissatisfaction.

“Poke, poke, poke..”

It seems like Xiao Qin likes to poke people for fun regardless of who they are.

Coincidentally, Gong CaiCai’s waist was extremely sensitive. Every time Xiao Qin poked her, Gong CaiCai would helplessly let out a moan.

“Mhmm.. please don’t.. mm.. please..”

“Ahahaha, you are all losers, I’ll be the first to conquer Cui Song Mountain.”

Xiong YaoYue had passed most of the students in an instant. Now, only the class leader was within reasonable distance of her.

When the class leader saw Xiong YaoYue wasn’t carrying Gong CaiCai, she looked back and saw Gong CaiCai on my back. She probably figured out Xiong YaoYue had pushed Gong CaiCai to me and ran up alone.

She had no discipline or sense of responsibility which made the class leader mad.

There was no way she would let Xiong YaoYue be the first to the top and laugh at the other students.

That’s probably what she thought as she tossed her bag to Niu ShiLi and got into a running posture.

Then she kicked off the ground and shot forward like a rocket, quickly coming side by side to Xiong YaoYue.

Everyone stopped to watch as they were astonished when they saw the class leader suddenly racing Xiong YaoYue.

“Who do you guys think will win?” Loud Mouth asked.

“It’s hard to say, their PE grades are around the same. Winnie has the advantage if it’s a competition of strength, but for speed..”

“Did you guys realize? I think the class leader was butting heads with Winnie the whole day today.”

“Really? I think it’s just your imagination.”

While they were speaking, the class leader and Gong CaiCai had run over 50m. There was less than 50m to the peak.

“Class leader, your shoelaces are untied.” Xiong YaoYue continued to use cheap tricks to try and interfere with the race.

Class leader didn’t even flinch and kept her mind on winning.

During the high speed race, the class leader’s jet black hair rose up and flew behind her.

“Damn it, class leader, why do you have to oppose me. If I wasn’t carrying Gong CaiCai earlier, I could..”

To be honest, Xiong YaoYue would outperform the class leader by a bit whether it’s a sprint or a marathon. After all, Xiong YaoYue is the athletic one, a future athlete.

But Xiong YaoYue had already used a lot of her stamina today (including running in circles with Gong CaiCai on her back), so she was already running out of steam. While the class leader was also working hard, she still had a lot of energy in reserve.

So that’s why Xiong YaoYue, who used all kinds of cheap tricks, still lost in the end. She was overtaken by the class leader in the last 10m and had her first place spot ruthlessly taken from her.

In that moment, the class leader’s posture was like a female general leading a country’s military. Even if she stood above everyone else, there was a lonely emptiness in her eyes like there was still something she couldn’t obtain.

It was like she beat Xiong YaoYue, yet didn’t beat her at all.

“I lost.. something important to me. It was snatched away by the class leader..”

Xiong YaoYue’s eyes were filled with tears as if she suffered a major blow.

“This isn’t important.” The class leader patted Xiong YaoYue’s head and comforted her, “If it’s really important, as long as you treat it with care, no one.. can take it away from you.”

She said then turned around like she didn’t want anyone to see her expression.

Everyone also followed behind the class leader and Xiong YaoYue and also climbed to the top of this 400m high Cui Song Mountain.

The top of the mountain was as green and flat as the mountain roads, it was as big as several soccer fields. The area was surrounded by rows of pine, willow, and birch trees, rather like Rooftrellen guarding the platform at the top of the mountain (looks like I’ve been playing too many games lately).

But even though there were a few streams at Cui Song Mountain, we couldn’t find any sources at the peak. Teacher Yu explained: it was because when it rains, rainwater accumulates in the trees, rocks and mud, and slowly gathers and leak to lower areas.

In response to Mr. Yu’s sudden display of erudition, someone said, “Are you an English teacher or a geography teacher?”

“I live across the geography teacher, so it’s normal for me to know some basics.”

Looking around the peak that was lined with fresh grass and trees, Eunuch Cao said out loud:

“This place is suitable for my father to film an outdoor exhibition series with a female AV star.”

“Outdoor rape would be good too..”

Right when he finished, Loud Mouth kicked him down the mountain. He rolled a few times before he fell into water with a splash.

“Ah, I found the source.” Eunuch Cao shouted as he crawled out of the muddy water, “Teacher Yu was right, it wasn’t far from the peak.”

Everyone had uncomfortable expressions on their faces. The reason wasn’t only because Eunuch Cao was soaked and now had two pointy bulges on his chest, but also they were sympathetic of the people who lived downstream and hoped they didn’t drink the water that Eunuch Cao soaked in..

“I guess there are advantaged coming to an unknown place. It feels like this place was reserved for our class. Good job Shu Sha.”

The class leader slightly lowered her head. It looks like the teacher’s praise wasn’t enough to get her out of her negative mood.historical

“Of course the class leader can do it.” Eunuch Cao said as he dragged himself up from the muddy ground, “The study committee member can do it, the PE committee member can do it, of course, I’m not talking about my master..”

The Loud Mouth kicked Eunuch Cao again and sent him tumbling down a second time.

“Cao JingShen might be a horrible person, but don’t kill him yet.” The class leader ordered Loud Mouth, “Otherwise teacher Yu wouldn’t really be able to explain himself to the school and I can’t bring everyone out on field trips anymore.”

Huh, class leader, it sounds like your saying my disciple’s existence is meaningless. The only reason you let him live is because it may cause trouble for others?

If I think about it, Eunuch Cao does have a meaningless existence.
