Hui You Tian Shi Ti Wo Ai Ni - Chapter 2.3

* * *Continued from Part 2* * *

Andplease dont call him trash, or curse him.
Her voice was lighter than wind, yet it carried fierce determination.
Yi Tang Yaos fingers froze.
As the basketball lost its grip, it fell, bouncing off the court. His eyes narrowed, casting Xiao Mi a look of utter disdain. He took big strides towards her, gripping her shoulders and shaking her violently.
Fuck! Whats this crazy shit youre up to again!

Xiao Mi was seeing stars with being shaken like a rag doll. Her head giddy and legs unsteady, she forced herself to look up at him.
Werent you unwilling to apologise? Then, Ill do it on your behalf.
Who do you think you are?! Yi Tang Yao roared. Apologise for me?! To hell with you! Whatever youve said, take it back, got me!
He shook Xiao Mi infuriatedly.
Xiao Mi was finding it hard to breathe, it felt as if the world was spinning before her. I cant……
Yi Tang Yao! Its you again!
By now, the female PE teacher has found the Mr Fang, who have left earlier for other matters. Mr Fang have heard the gist of the incident from other classmates. Apparently, it happened while everyone was practicing ball, and Yi Tang Yao was dozing off at the side without a stir. Wei Tao mocked him as trash, and Yi Tang Yao burst into anger after hearing that. This led to the violent scene of ball hitting man.
Mr Fangs height went up to 1.9m, with a build of a tower, pumped with muscle. The students call him King Kong Fang behind his back. He grabbed Yi Tang Yaos arm, and rescued Xiao Mi from his violent grip. He stared down at the enraged Yi Tang Yao, his voice booming.
You dare mess around in my class?!
The class started to stir in excitement. Legends say that King Kong Fang abhorred evil. Past seniors, who always got into fights, were all mercilessly punished by him.
Yi Tang Yao glared back!
Scary
The second class of World Commerce sucked in their breaths.
Yi Tang Yaos body seemed to combust fierce, orange flames. His gaze burned, the diamond on his nose emitting an eerie glow.
He was standing against Mr Fang. Yet, this did nothing to suppress his nerve.
At this time, every student in the court could sense the unnatural atmosphere. Everyone huddled together on tiptoes, their breaths low, in anticipation of what is to come.
I heard Wei Tao called you trash? Mr Fang scrutinized Yi Tang Yao. He was wrong in mocking you, but, using violence to solve the problem seems too simple-minded.
Mr Fang!
Wei Tao exploded in rage. Despite being beaten up, he was the one at fault?! So it seems Mr Fang is like the other teachers, getting on the good side of those influential and powerful.
Yi Tang Yao smirked. Whats done is done, what more do you want?
Its easy to prove youre not trash. In sports, one of the segments most admired and respected is the marathon. Only those with the willpower can persevere in it. Mr Fang pointed at the crimson running track. If you can run 10,000m, then you will be able to prove Wei Tao wrong.
Everyone was shocked.
10,000m!
Thats an entire 25 rounds.
Running 1km during a fitness test is exhausting enough. 10,000m would get one foaming with seizures. Okay! If you can run 10,000m, Ill take todays incident as my fault! Wei Tao stared fiercely at Yi Tang Yao. If you cant, youll let everyone knowthat Yi Tang Yao is complete trash!
For the past three years in college, Yi Tang Yao has skipped out on even the basic fitness test, much less participate in a sports event. He has been absent for every class sport. Among the guys, its been said that Yi Tang Yao may be handsome, but hes beancurd that pants after walking 500m.
At this moment, all eyes were on Yi Tang Yao.
Yi Tang Yaos lips pressed tightly together.
He stance was indifferent, the rim of his eyes dark and cold. Sunlight radiated off the diamond on his nose, casting a small glow on his face.
The girls clasped their mouths.
God, even at this time, Yi Tang Yaos good looks are surreal. If not for his foul temper, he is undoubtedly the perfect prince charming depicted in novels and manhua.
Ill run for him!
A girl stood in front of Yi Tang Yao.
10,000m, is it? Ill do it. The girls clear gaze inclined towards Wei Tao and Cheng Yuan. You dont have to apologise or admit youre wrong, because he is the one at fault. But, please forgive what he has done today.
The girl bowed towards Wei Tai, Cheng Yuan and Mr Fang. Then, she gritted her teeth and took off towards the running track.
Xiao Mi again!
Everyone shared glances, this girl really has a problem with her head! Even Mr Fang raised his eyebrows in shock. He hadnt expected this, that Yi Tang Yao has it in him to have a girlfriend so willing to suffer and sacrifice for him. Wei Guo Guos mouth hung open, speechless. Meanwhile, Cheng Yuan gazed towards Xiao Mis running figure, her brow emanating an air of unconcern.
Yi Tang Yao glanced at his watch, with a cold voice, Class has ended. As he finished, he started walking, with not even a glance at Xiao Mi.
Hey! It doesnt count if she runs!
Wei Tao came back into senses, hollering towards Yi Tang Yaos back.

The sun on the east.
Dusk dyed the horizon in crimson. Even the grass on the field reflected a dizzying red. The loudspeakers in the campus started to broadcast soft melodies.
Its evening.
Sheng Shus students walked past the Business Building leisurely. Not one noticed the frail figure running on the track.
The seventeenth round……
Xiao Mis lungs were on fire. Her throat felt raw; even as she struggled to gasp, she couldnt breathe. Pitch darkness blanketed her eyes, and her head was muddled with stars. She couldnt see the road before her, couldnt see if there was anyone in front. She could no longer feel her limbs, only
That she might die any second!
The empty track.
The teachers have gone back, and all the students already left. Even those who stayed to watch the spectacle couldnt stand the boredom, and left for the cafeteria.
No one counted the rounds for Xiao Mi.
Actually, even Xiao Mi herself was unsure if she was running the seventeenth or eighteenth round. If so, its better to count less. She must run 10,000m, even if it means she would spew blood and faint!
Blood gushed in her brain.
The veins in her temple throbbed, and seemed to tear painfully.
Xiao Mis consciousness has already been engulfed by darkness. Besides her pounding heartbeat, there was only wind behind her ears.
The sun gradually set.
Streetlights switched on.
The long red running track.
Xiao Mis figure blended into the dark. Only when she ran under the light could you glimpse her pale face, and the sweat that cascaded down like rain.
* * *
Darkness enveloped the ground.
Camphor trees rustled in the wind.
Her body felt like it was breaking apart.
The immeasurable pain in her body!
Having finally completed running, Xiao Mi supported herself against a tree. Ugh Her body bent over, she retched her guts out.
So painful……
She slid along the bark, as her body collapsed on the ground. She no longer cared about the stench of vomit around her. Hugging both legs, she buried her head between her knees. Her nose soured and tears rained down her face.
Yi,
I trained my body today. I ran for a very, very long time.
Are you laughing?
I didnt lie to you, I really ran! But, Im exhausted…… for a moment I thought I would fall over and die. In the past, you always said I was too lazy, and that I didnt understand exercising would train ones physique. At that time, I even rebutted that even though I dont run, I am a sports genius once I do. Heehee, such big words.
Im no genius.
I am dying from running.
Yi, what are you busy with? Can you show yourself for a bit? Just a while would do……
The yellow glow from the streetlights shone into the woods.
A shadow appeared before Xiao Mis feet.
Her breath stopped, as she abruptly raised her head.
You dont seem that good in running.
A cold tone. The owner of that voice folded his arms, with two legs lazily positioned under the dense camphor trees. Due to their overcast, his outline seemed strikingly statuesque.
Xiao Mi hurriedly wiped the tears off her face, and smiled.
Im fine, not tired at all.
Yi Tang Yao frowned with annoyance. Who cares about you! I just happen to pass by the area.
Oh.
Xiao Mi tussled her hair awkwardly.
Why did you run for me? Yi Tang Yao appraised her coldly.
Xiao Mi struggled to stand. She leaned on the bark, her breathing short and weak. Her lungs still hurt. Why…… didnt you tell them you couldnt do rigorous exercises?
Yi Tang Yao was taken aback!
He grabbed her shoulders, irrational. You–!
You have heart problems, dont you? Xiao Mi gasped. Her shoulders are rupturing from his grips. You cant do rigorous exercises with a heart problem. Why didnt you tell the teachers and students about it?
How did you know?!
Your memorys really bad…… Xiao Mi tried to break free from his palms. That day, I was the one who sent you to the hospital. You probably had a relapse, you were almost unconscious. Words aside, he hadnt returned her the money for the taxi.
Yi Tang Yaos body went rigid. His right hand slowly slid from her shoulder.
I dont have heart disease.
His lips were hard, like marble.
Xiao Mi gazed at him silently. A health problem isnt something shameful.
I said–! I donthaveheart disease! Are you deaf?!
His roars echoed throughout the forest.
Yi Tang Yao raged, pounding his fist onto the bark. Leaves rustled and trembled violently. Even the lights seemed to have broken, flickering unnaturally.
I know.
Xiao Mi rasped softly. The sweat has long trickled off her body, and gusts of cold assaulted her.
Dont worry, I wont tell anyone. She smiled at Yi Tang Yao, her eyes akin to the bright crescents in the night sky. But you have to take care of your own body. Even fighting is considered rigorous exercise. If you dont take care of youself, then I might let loose this secret to everyone else!
This
Is considered a threat?
Amidst the camphor forest in the night, Yi Tao Yao furiously surveyed the girl with fine hair and crescent-shaped eyes.
