Beauty and the Beasts

The 50-meter distance went past with just a dash, taking only the time for a few breaths. Bai Qingqing used all of her strength to run to the goal. She then heard her classmates’ shouts and understood that she had come in first.

She panted as she turned to look back. The person in second place had only reached the goal at this moment. She felt a little surprised to find that her speed seemed to be a lot faster than it used to be.

Her body must have been trained in the five years in the forest.

Someone handed Bai Qingqing mineral water. She thanked the person and panted as she slowly headed to the starting point.

She still had a 3,000-meter long run later on. After completing that, the fats around her stomach should be burned up.

After drinking a few sips of cold water, she started to feel a plunging pain in her stomach. Bai Qingqing held onto her stomach and squatted down.

She couldn’t be so unlucky that her period came, could it?

“Qingqing, don’t squat down after a run. At least stand for a while.” Tang Li immediately ran up to Bai Qingqing and pulled her hand.

Bai Qingqing waved her hand. “It’s fine. It’s just a few steps. Tang Li, I think the dormitory isn’t locked today. Help me get a sanitary pad.”

“Is your period here?” Tang Li frowned. “You still have the 3,000-meter run.”

Bai Qingqing said, “I don’t know if it’s here. I’ll go to the toilet to take a look later. If it’s here, then I’ll forfeit. Help me put my phone in the dormitory, too. Anyway, we’ll be having lunch after the run, and I won’t have the time to use it.”

“Alright.” Tang Li took her phone and ran quickly toward the dormitory.

After Tang Li left, Zhang Xin walked up to Bai Qingqing’s side, squatted down, and said, “You look very pale. Are you alright? If you’re not feeling well, then don’t run.”

Zhang Xin was the sports representative. Since he said that, Bai Qingqing could forfeit the match right now.

Bai Qingqing felt a lot more comfortable after squatting down. She smiled and said, “En, I’ll see how it goes later.”

“Take more care, then. It doesn’t matter even if we don’t get good results,” he said.

Bai Qingqing gave a soft reply, then stopped looking at him. She picked up a strand of grass and started drawing casually.

Tang Li brought what Bai Qingqing wanted and she went to the washroom. Her period hadn’t come.

Just in case, she still put it on. When it was time for her competition, she pulled herself together and walked over to the starting line.

The referee’s whistle rang and the group of youthful young ladies gushed out. The congested tracks couldn’t contain so many people and the participants’ distances were pulled apart.

Bai Qingqing’s body was lean and agile, so she managed to squeeze her way through with ease and ran to the very front.

During the exercise, the loosely-fitting school uniforms were blown by the wind against their bodies, causing the young ladies’ figures to be exposed. They no longer appeared bloated. Instead, their thick or slender waists could be seen from the back.

Zhang Xin immediately noticed Bai Qingqing’s changes. He had always known that she had a good figure, but he didn’t expect that her waist was a lot more slender than what he usually saw it to be. It was just that her well-embodied bust and her cheap clothing made her appear plump.

Many people started to run alongside the participants outside the track, handing them towels and water. Zhang Xin picked up a bottle of mineral water and took two steps forward. But at the thought of Bai Qingqing’s red-haired boyfriend, he instantly became dejected and stopped.

The reason Tang Li was fat wasn’t without a reason. She was too lazy. Seeing that Bai Qingqing had to run for many rounds, she sat down on the grass and played with her phone. She’d only pass Bai Qingqing water when she ran over to ask for it.

For the first round, Bai Qingqing didn’t go all out. She kept in the top five.

For the second round, her position fell behind to be in the top ten.

For the third round, she had quickly fallen behind to the latter of the middle group.

Many people who ran fast didn’t have good endurance. This was a common occurrence. However, no one noticed that other people’s faces were flushed from all the running, but Bai Qingqing’s face looked ghastly pale as if she had some serious illness.
