Although his performance effortlessly overwhelmed everyone present, Yan Han diligently trained alongside everyone else until the official opening of the sports meet, showing no airs of a “superstar.”
Based on his legendary performance on the training field, and combined with his own wishes, Yan Han was ultimately assigned to compete in the 100-meter sprint and the long jump.
The competition stipulated that each student could register for a maximum of two events.
For the sake of the athletes’ physical well-being, the school wouldn’t assign events to just one person, even if they excelled in multiple events; friendship came first, competition second.
Of course, if someone was temporarily absent for any reason, another athlete could fill in.
Yan Han’s 100-meter sprint, a popular event on the first day of the sports meet, received considerable attention from the very beginning.
The 100-meter distance was short, testing explosive power throughout, which was clearly not a challenge for Yan Han.
From the start, he took the lead, accelerating throughout the race until the moment he crossed the finish line.
From the initial sixteen-person competition to the quarterfinals, and then to the final three, Yan Han maintained his first-place ranking in every race, securing first place in the 100-meter sprint without any suspense.
As soon as the race ended, the students from Luze High School who had accompanied him cheered and surrounded him, offering him water and towels.
Yan Han politely thanked them, took the water bottle, and took a sip.
His body didn’t experience any strong reactions after the 100-meter run; he had been training every day, so even running three races in a row was nothing for him.
Yan Han wasn’t even out of breath.
He had run three races in this area, being the fastest in each one, and maintaining a significant lead over second place— that was already quite remarkable. Even more striking was his face.
Wearing a bright yellow short-sleeved shirt and shorts, the way he tilted his head back to drink water gave him a slightly rebellious and cool look.
A fair, exquisitely beautiful face inadvertently appeared in the stands. Those who had already noticed him exclaimed in surprise upon seeing his face: “Hey, look at number nine! The number nine who just won again! My god, he’s so handsome!”
The stands facing the 100-meter track were occupied by two of the city’s top high schools.
“What does he look like? Let me see, let me see!” Her companion immediately snatched the binoculars from her hand.
Someone on the other side said disdainfully, “Pfft, I noticed him just now. Although I can’t see his face clearly, from a distance, his face is so fair, his hairstyle is so cool, and he’s so thin, he looks like a submissive guy… But you know, these kinds of people usually have a ‘look back kill’…”
“Not a ‘look back kill’!”
“Oh my god! This number nine is really… so handsome! Is he even human?!”
The student in front finally couldn’t hold back any longer, snatched the binoculars, and looked directly at Yan Han.
At this moment, Yan Han had finished drinking his water. He habitually wiped his mouth, and someone took the water bottle from him. Yan Han politely thanked the person…
“Ahhh, wait a minute, this guy! Good heavens… I can’t even say what flaws or imperfections he has…”
“Alright, give me back my binoculars, I want to take another look!”
Those positioned above or far away could only see the newly crowned champion, number nine, through binoculars brought by a few students.
However, the students positioned below, directly facing the 100-meter track, could clearly see Yan Han’s face with their naked eyes!
“Damn it… I should have brought binoculars too! Who would have thought that I was supposed to be sitting here for two days, feeling like I was dying, just as a spectator, and then suddenly I’d discover such a handsome guy!”
“So, which school does this handsome guy go to?! Tell me which school he goes to!”
Fortunately, the organizers had already started announcing the 100-meter race results.
When they heard that the champion was a student from Luze High School, the students who had discovered the handsome guy before anyone else screamed. Some quickly remembered a certain senior who was one of the top ten most popular figures on the anonymous forum and was known as the school beauty…
Soon, someone pulled out their phone… and the audience erupted again, and no matter how their teachers tried to maintain discipline, the large-scale commotion didn’t stop.
“Ahhh, it really is him! Holy crap, I actually saw him in person today!”
“He’s even more handsome in person than in photos! So handsome!”
“By the way, I saw some posts saying that their school beauty has been training recently… I didn’t pay attention at the time, I really didn’t expect that the school beauty was not only good-looking but also so good at sports!”
Yan Han, who had unknowingly become the focus of attention for some people, was still unaware.
The long jump wouldn’t start until close to lunchtime, so he had at least an hour to himself. Yan Han was thinking about whether to go back to the audience or wander around the field with the students who had come to accompany him.
He hadn’t seen Lin Jianlu much since morning.
As the most senior discipline committee member of the second year, Lin Jianlu was in charge of all the arrangements for today’s event. From arranging for people to monitor the progress of the competition, notifying athletes of their competition times and reminding them to enter, to providing water and towels to the athletes after the competition, everything was under his responsibility.
Yan Han wasn’t tired; he just wanted to lend a hand to Lin Jianlu. Compared to practicing meditation in the stands, he was happy to do anything.
However, at that moment, a discipline committee member in school uniform approached him and asked, “Senior Yan Han, one of the athletes sprained his ankle and can’t participate. Teacher Liu asked if you could run the 400 meters in his place?”
After the 100 meters, there was the 200 meters, and after that, the 400 meters. Time had flown by, and it was hard to find a suitable replacement in such a short time.
Yan Han had already planned to dedicate all his energy to this sports meet, so he nodded in agreement.
He was even a little excited.
The 400-meter race began. From the start to the mid-race acceleration, and then another burst of speed at the finish line, Yan Han led the entire 400 meters without any suspense, sprinting straight to the finish line!
Because of the significant difference in time with the second-place runner, he was jokingly called “Flying Man” by his classmates.
The starting line for the 100-meter race was quite far from the stands of Luze High School. The students in the stands had been busy with various fan-making and group exercises with their teachers all morning, and very few of them noticed the 100-meter race. It wasn’t until the champion was determined that the students learned that Yan Han had won the school’s first gold medal of the day.
And most of the students only found out about this from the broadcast of the event.
Unless someone in the stands was using binoculars, it was impossible to tell who was who among the few people in sportswear.
However, the 400-meter distance was a perfect lap around the track, meaning athletes could pass by from anywhere in the stadium, and everyone could see the race.
So, the students of Luze High School witnessed Yan Han, who had replaced other students, race all the way to first place in a sixteen-person competition.
When they learned that Yan Han had won the school’s first championship in the 100-meter dash, the stands erupted in cheers.
Now, seeing their school’s athlete repeatedly and impressively leading the pack… waving their fans frantically, shouting themselves hoarse, and performing human waves led by their teachers, everyone started chanting Yan Han’s name and cheering him on like madmen.
Regardless of the internal dynamics within the school, most students understood the importance of collective honor.
What’s more, seeing someone on the field whose appearance alone was pleasing to the eye and extremely pleasant, who consistently came in first place, leaving all other competitors far behind, and most importantly, who was from their own school!
How could the students of Luze High School not feel proud?!
