Jiang Yan was a contestant from the second group, and he had made it to the semifinals. Li Xiao scanned the list of participants and noticed that someone from her class was also competing—her class's sports representative—though unfortunately, they had not qualified. 0
 
No wonder he had been so cocky earlier. 0
 
He wore a number 9 sports vest, standing in lane four. 0
 
Li Xiao stood by the track, camera in hand, positioned neither too close nor too far away, allowing her to capture his expressions clearly through the lens. 0
 
And those bright, spirited eyes. 0
 
He glanced over at Li Xiao and smiled. 0
 
Li Xiao didn’t understand what he found amusing; after such a long race, he would likely end up crying instead. 0
 
The athletes took their positions on their respective lanes as the Starter called out, "On your marks, get set." They all stood ready in unison. 0
 
Fifteen hundred meters sounded exhausting, leaving Li Xiao feeling anxious for him. 0
 
Everyone held their breath in anticipation of the gunshot, including Li Xiao. 0
 
With her camera raised, she focused on the boy who looked serious and solemn. 0
 
“Bang!” The gun fired, and all the contestants shot forward like arrows released from a bow; the tension of the race had officially begun. 0
 
At that moment, most events were in a break phase, and nearly everyone in the field turned their attention to the few figures sprinting down the track. 0
 
 
Li Xiao definitely couldn't run and follow them to take pictures. She just stood near the starting point, set the camera to a long focal length, zoomed in, and watched their real situation through the lens. He didn't run very fast, and was always hovering around the third or fourth place. His expression didn't seem to be broken, and he still looked like he had it under control. But Li Xiao felt that Jiang Yan was too confident and didn't look like much. The sun was still dazzling, which was very helpful for her to take pictures. Jiang Yan was wearing a white Athletic Wear, and the light spread on his body. To the naked eye, the whole person looked hazy, but his expression could be clearly seen in the lens. She found that those who were good at sports either took longer steps when running, or took more steps when running, and their arm swings seemed to be more even than those of ordinary people. She kept pressing the shutter, fearing that she would miss any wonderful moment. A lap was over, everyone's face was flushed, and there was a little sweat on their foreheads, which was particularly obvious when the light shone on them. Everyone's speed also slowed down to a certain extent. The first and second place at the beginning became the fourth and fifth place. However, Jiang Yan was still in the third place. Li Xiao stood at the football field inside the track, watching them step forward. Watching Jiang Yan running towards him step by step. He was looking at him. For some reason, Li Xiao subconsciously picked up the camera to block his view, raised the lens, and pretended to be busy taking pictures. 0
However, in the next moment, those eyes in the camera seemed to gaze directly at him, as if he could see her through the lens. 0
 
She was momentarily stunned, instinctively pressing the shutter button. 0
 
Once she adjusted her expression and redirected the camera towards someone in front of her, at the moment she clicked the shutter, he appeared in the frame again. Ridiculously, he struck a pose, flashing a bright smile and giving a peace sign. 0
 
Li Xiao increasingly discovered another side of him. 0
 
Shameless. 0
 
Gu Zhan had just wandered over from the shot put area when he saw Jiang Yan's shadow pass right in front of him. Leaning closer, he overheard some female classmates nearby quietly discussing Jiang Yan from earlier. 0
 
They were saying how handsome he looked while running, just as handsome as when he played basketball, his all-white outfit dazzling. 0
 
And what else? He still had the energy to greet the camera; the photos must look great. 0
 
Gu Zhan shook his head helplessly, amused that these girls were truly captivated by Jiang Yan. Shifting his gaze, he spotted the girl with the camera standing beside the soccer field. 0
 
Suddenly, it all made sense to him. 0
 
He had said that his milk wouldn’t just disappear for no reason; sure enough, he was being… 0
