Chapter 215 – It Happened, It Happened

After everyone was ready, Lin You Xi explained the rules of untying the bracelet to everyone, and then the students from two classes began the competition under He Luoyun’s whistle.

“Go, go!”

“Hey, hey! Bing Bing, be gentle, you’re almost breaking my hand!”

Mei Fang’s group quickly found the trick with Xia Yuan’s minor guidance. Everyone turned around each other, unraveling their intertwined arms. Xia Yuan spun around Mei Fang and stood with her arms crossed.

Mei Fang imitated Xia Yuan’s posture, circling around Liu Xiaoyu, then they both stood with their arms crossed.

When Mei Fang and Liu Xiaoyu were holding hands lightly for this move, they nearly let go. Before separating, Liu Xiaoyu tightly held onto Mei Fang, preventing any mishap.

“Good job, good job! Keep it up, others!”

Although Xia Yuan was giving special attention here, Mei Fang’s group still lost the game because Xiang Bingbing misunderstood Xia Yuan’s directions and almost twisted Wan Chaoxiong’s arm, causing him to quickly pull away in fright.

The prize for winning the bracelet untangling game was a cute notepad.

“Phew… a bit disappointing!”

“Sorry, sorry… if I wasn’t so rushed, I wouldn’t have lost.”

“That’s true, you should reflect on this.”

Mei Fang stood on his tiptoes and criticized Xiang Bingbing, “Winning or losing a game is trivial, but if you wanted the notebook, I could have given it to you. If you had broken Wan Chaoxiong’s arm, it might lead to the school banning spring outings. Think about how much everyone would hate you.”

Xiang Bingbing’s apology earlier was just for not winning, but Mei Fang’s words made her realize her mistake. She hurriedly checked on Wan Chaoxiong.

“Sorry… Did I hurt your bones? Let me check…”

“No, no! I’m fine, just don’t scare me.”

“It seems Xiang Bingbing can be a bit careless at times.”

“Be more careful, Xiang Bingbing.”

Everyone around criticized Xiang Bingbing, and she looked guilty, constantly apologizing.

Recognizing one’s mistakes is good, but becoming overly cautious because of it might be excessive…

“The next mini-game is ‘Blind Man and Lame’. One person will play as the blind man, wearing a blindfold, while another plays as the lame, being carried by the blind man. The blind man needs to carry the lame through a minefield of obstacles in the shortest time possible to reach the finish line.”

The so-called obstacles were bottles and iron barrels arranged by He Luoyun.

“This game is voluntary, with only one chance per person. Both genders are welcome. Anyone want to give it a try?”

“I’ll do it!”

Just when Mei Fang was worried about Xiang Bingbing feeling down, she raised her hand first.

Oh well, I worried for nothing. This girl always acts carefree.

“You can’t do it alone, you need to find a partner.”

“A partner…?”

Xiang Bingbing looked back at her teammates and immediately spotted Mei Fang.

“Um—”

“Cough!”

Before Xiang Bingbing could mention Mei Fang’s name, Lin You Xi coughed wildly to hint, and Mei Fang shook his head to refuse. Xiang Bingbing finally realized.

“Then Liu Xiaoyu, come with me!”

“Me… me?”

Xia Yuan and Mei Fang cheered Liu Xiaoyu on from the side, “Come on, Xiaoyu, give it a try!”

Unlike her previous life in Bai Mei No.1 High School where she shone like a star, this generation’s Liu Xiaoyu seemed to be Xia Yuan’s sidekick.

Despite lacking her past family background, she still had excellent outward appearance and quickly drew everyone’s attention. Though somewhat shy, she started the game with Xiang Bingbing after being named.

With the blindfold on, Xiang Bingbing carried Liu Xiaoyu.

“Let’s do our best?”

“Mm-hmm!”

Xiang Bingbing quickly moved forward under Liu Xiaoyu’s instructions.

Though she always had speed and height advantages, this time she learned from the previous hasty attempt, patiently waiting for Liu Xiaoyu’s commands before moving.

“Forward, forward, step… jump over, lift your leg higher.”

“Watch out left, move right, that’s right.”

“Hold on, stop! Jump directly! Put some effort into it!”

Xiang Bingbing and Liu Xiaoyu worked in perfect sync. Although there were some pauses, they managed to reach the finish line without touching any obstacles.

After completing the task, they high-fived each other. Liu Xiaoyu, who had been rather gloomy all day, smiled sweetly, clearly enjoying the team-building activity.

Lin You Xi began recruiting more challengers. More participants joined, but so far, they were all male-male or female-female pairs. Due to the warning about penalties, everyone was very cautious, making the game slow-paced and boring for the audience.

But Mei Fang and Xia Yuan knew exactly whose event this was.

“Arfang, shall we play next?”

“No problem, but this seems too easy. Everyone avoided the obstacles, making it less interesting.”

“Yes, we haven’t tried this ourselves, didn’t expect it to be so simple.”

Mei Fang reminded Xia Yuan, “We can’t let You Xi’s event become dull. Do you know what the penalty is for hitting the minefield?”

“Uh…”

Xia Yuan whispered to Mei Fang.

This time, Lin You Xi saw Xia Yuan raise her hand first and immediately gave her the chance.

Xia Yuan’s participation livened up the somewhat dull atmosphere.

“Don’t yawn, something good is coming!”

High school romances were often secretive and bashful, so everyone looked forward to seeing genuine puppy love during the team-building event. Accepting childhood sweethearts was understandable.

“Arfang, hurry!”

Xia Yuan’s sudden move caused a commotion among the crowd as she pulled Mei Fang up and went forward together. There was a loud “Oh—” from the audience.

Mei Fang carried Xia Yuan to the starting point, and Lin You Xi personally put a blindfold on Mei Fang, whispering softly.

“Have fun, you two!”

“Oh… um…”

Lin You Xi’s little gesture sparked even more commotion.

“World-class masterpiece!”

A girl from Class 3 asked, “So are Mei Fang and Xia Yuan actually a couple? Why does it seem like the class president has a closer relationship with them than just friends?”

A boy from Class 5 shook his head, “Don’t ask, it’s just childhood sweethearts. We’re used to it.”

Mei Fang gently supported Xia Yuan’s thigh, and Xia Yuan tightly hugged Mei Fang, whispering in his ear,

“Am I not as heavy as before? You seem to be holding me steady now.”

“Yeah… practice makes perfect.”

“What do you mean?”

As He Luoyun blew the whistle, everyone expected to see Mei Fang and Xia Yuan’s sweet interaction, but unexpectedly, Mei Fang carried Xia Yuan straight ahead, jumping forward!

“Jump!”

“Jump!”

“Again!”

Xia Yuan kept urging Mei Fang to jump forward—apparently, they intended to leap over all the obstacles in one go to beat the previous participants’ times.

“Damn, that’s such a brilliant idea!”

“Did Mei Fang memorize all the obstacle positions beforehand? So skillfully!”

“It’s Xia Yuan reminding Mei Fang! But without enough chemistry, it wouldn’t work!”

In everyone’s shock, Mei Fang and Xia Yuan’s special tactic failed. His foot kicked a water bottle near the finish line, almost causing him to stumble, but he tightly held Xia Yuan, showing gentlemanly manners that won many girls’ admiration.

“It seems the duo’s special strategy didn’t work.”

Lin You Xi took off Mei Fang’s blindfold and patted his shoulder, “Since you hit the minefield, you must accept our punishment game—choose someone to sit on you and do ten push-ups.”

“Oh, so anyone can be the partner?”

“?”

A question mark gradually appeared above Xia Yuan’s head. Before she finished asking, Mei Fang pointed to Lin You Xi.

“Well, then, You Xi, you sit on me.”

“Arfang—what do you mean?”

Xia Yuan blushed and pinched Mei Fang’s arm, demanding an explanation. The students laughed at the scene.

It happened, it happened!

Wait… who was I originally watching?

Today, I played with the girls until late and got home late, so I’m sorry for the slow update. I promise to update diligently from now on.
