The Beautiful Time With You - Chapter 221

Chapter 221: Shi Yao Vs Lin Jiage (1)

…

On the third morning of the Sports Meet, Shi Yao was awakened by a call.

She opened her eyes groggily, but as soon as she saw who the caller was, she was immediately jolted awake.

It was a person who hadn’t been in contact with her for quite some time—Liang Mumu.

Shi Yao stared at the name—’Mumu’—flickering for quite some time before she tapped on the screen to pick up the call, “Mumu—”

Shi Yao could only manage to call out Liang Mumu’s name before the latter’s light and cheerful voice rang out, “My little darling Yaoyao, your Sports Meet ends today, so you don’t have any lessons tomorrow, right?”

Liang Mumu: “Darling, I’ll come and fetch you at your school later, around six to seven. Let’s go out and have fun for the night!”

Shi Yao was quiet for two seconds, and just as she was about to speak up, Liang Mumu had already continued, “My little darling Yaoyao, we haven’t met for quite some time already, don’t you miss me? I’m about to die from loneliness over here! A friend of mine just opened a new pub over at Sanlitun[1], and he won’t charge us anything for the time being. Let’s head over to support him tonight, okay?”

Seeing that Shi Yao still hadn’t agreed, Liang Mumu began to protest coyly, “… Yaoyao, please, let’s go together, okay? I already gave him my word… Don’t you love me anymore? Yaoyao…”

Shi Yao lowered her eyes for a moment before she replied with a soft and gentle voice, “Alright, see you tonight then. ”

The coy and indignant Liang Mumu immediately reverted back to her cheerful tone, “I knew that my little darling Yaoyao would never abandon me! What do you want to eat tonight? Cantonese? Japanese? Hot pot? Western… Why don’t I make a list of restaurants and send them to you, and you can pick from them later?”

Shi Yao was just about to say, “It’s alright, you can choose,” but just as those words reached the tip of her tongue, she hesitated for a brief moment before obediently replying with an “Alright”.

“I’ll call you when I reach your school later. I still have something to do after this, so I can’t talk to you right now. Let’s chat when we meet tonight. Bye bye, my little darling Yaoyao. Muah!” Liang Mumu spoke a very long string of words, then without waiting for Yaoyao’s response, she hung up the phone.

Yaoyao took a look at the time—six-thirty in the morning.

Shi Yao didn’t feel like she’d had enough sleep yet, but due to Liang Mumu’s call, she didn’t feel like going back to bed anymore.

She put down her phone and stared at the ceiling contemplatively for some time, but the urge to sleep was already gone. Thus, she eventually climbed out of bed and went to wash up.

…

Eight o’clock, Shi Yao and her three roommates went to the canteen to have their breakfast. After which, they headed straight to the stadium.

Not too long after they took their seats, Shi Yao was called out for the Women’s High Jump event.

Due to Shi Yao’s astounding performance in the 10km marathon on the first day of the Sports Meet, there was quite a huge crowd who came to spectate the high jump event this time around.

High jump happened to be Shi Yao’s true specialty, so the entire process was extremely relaxing for her. She didn’t disappoint the spectating crowd, clinching the first place for the Women’s High Jump with ease.

Her entire routine had no excessive movements at all, be it the approach or the takeoff. She glided gracefully across the air in a beautiful arc before landing steadily on the foam mat. This series of movements didn’t pale in comparison to major high jump athletes at all.

Once again, Shi Yao obtained another gold medal and successfully raised another commotion on the school forums.
