Chapter 135: Sports Meet Begins
Chapter 135
"Huh?" Jin Yang and the others all had a shocked expression. "How...how did she get pregnant? What about her boyfriend? Isn't he taking responsibility?"
Zou Tong showed an indescribable expression. "The child isn't her boyfriend's. There was nothing we could do. When we asked her whose it was, she wouldn't say. She insisted on keeping it no matter what. She really... we couldn't do anything about it. This is the first time we've encountered something like this. Who knew she'd be so daring? We didn't know what to do. Plus, she doesn't have any other friends besides us. Although she can be quite annoying sometimes, as you all know, her boyfriend would buy snacks for her and she'd generously share them with us. And for a girl to be in such a situation..."
They were truly shocked to the core.
Chu Yang took out 500 yuan from her pocket and handed it to Zou Tong. "No matter what, it's a done deal. First, she's responsible for her own actions since she's already an adult. Second, a piece of advice: don't go to small clinics. Go to a reputable major hospital and minimize the impact on her body as much as possible. You can borrow money if needed. If it's not enough, borrow more, but be sure to go to a proper hospital."
"Okay, okay. Thank you, Chu Yang." Zou Tong took the money.
Jin Yang and the others quickly took out money as well. "Remember to go to a proper hospital."
"Yes, yes, we'll make sure to take her to a proper hospital."
After borrowing the money, Zou Tong left.
The four of them: Chu Yang, Jin Yang, Qian Xin, and Zhou Caicai: looked at each other, stunned. "Oh my god, this is so scary."
Jin Yang suddenly looked at Chu Yang's belly. "Chu Yang, you're not...?"
Chu Yang gave her a firm smack on the head. "No way, we haven't done anything."
She and Chi Yan hadn't done anything. Although they often came close, Chi Yan had been holding back. Only recently did they discover a new method, so he finally couldn't resist anymore. But they still hadn't actually done anything.
Qian Xin put her hand on her chin, pondering. "Huh? Could it be that the school heartthrob Chi Yan is...you know, unable to perform? He's got such a gorgeous beauty like you, yet he hasn't made a move?"
Zhou Caicai said, "This only shows what kind of person Chi Yan is. If he were the kind of guy who only thinks about sleeping with you all the time, he wouldn't be reliable. He loves you, so he respects and cherishes you."
Jin Yang asked, "Is that so, Caicai? Do you have a situation of your own?"
Zhou Caicai shook her head. "No. I was just repeating something from a melodramatic show I've been watching lately."
"What show? Show me."
Gradually, their conversation drifted away from Chen Tian's matter.
The sports meet at A University arrived as scheduled. The weather was great, spanning three days in total. B University's sports meet was two days later than A University's, so both Chu Yang and Chi Yan could watch each other's competitions.
The swimming competition was on the second day. The first day was mainly the opening ceremony and other events. Chi Yan came over to A University to watch the competitions with Chu Yang.
On the first day, there were high jump, long jump, triathlon, and other events. Chi Yan and Chu Yang sat in the stands, each sipping a milk tea, leisurely watching the athletes sweat it out on the field.
While watching the high jump, Chi Yan said, "I can do this too, and I jump better than that number 7."
While watching the long jump, he said, "I'm pretty good at the long jump too."
Chu Yang: ...
"Alright, alright, so did you participate?"
Chi Yan: "...No."
Chu Yang gave him a look, signaling him to shut up. Showoff!
Chi Yan immediately kept quiet. He was just boasting in front of her to avoid his uncle saying he had nothing going for him except his good looks.
The swimming competition was in the afternoon of the second day. For this event, Chu Yang had even bought a professional swimsuit, even though she was just an amateur.
At the swimming pool's spectator stands, Chi Yan had already set up a high-definition camera to record the event. Next to him, Jin Yang and Zhou Caicai were holding up a banner that read: "Go Chu Yang! You're the best, Chu Yang!"
Qian Xin was acting as a cheerleader, waving two pompoms.
It wasn't just the three of them. There were other students who knew Chu Yang, like Liang Huan, Zou Tong, and even Wang Lele from the sports committee. "Go Chu Yang! Go Chu Yang!"
Down on the pool deck, Chu Yang, who was getting ready, saw them and immediately covered her face, feeling utterly embarrassed!
At that moment, the loudspeaker announced, "Please have the female athletes for the 200-meter freestyle take their positions. The competition is about to begin." The announcement was repeated three times.
Chu Yang, clad in a form-fitting swimsuit and goggles, took her position at the starting blocks as directed by the staff.
Up in the stands, Jin Yang excitedly said, "It's starting! It's starting! Remember to shout words of encouragement when I give the signal!"
The others gave her an "OK" gesture.
Chi Yan had already set up the camera, his gaze fixed on his girlfriend.
With a loud "bang" from the starter's pistol, one beautiful mermaid after another dove gracefully into the water, rapidly swimming forward.
In the stands, everyone cheered for their respective athletes. Jin Yang's group was particularly noticeable, standing up excitedly, waving their banner wildly. "Go Chu Yang! Go Chu Yang! Go Chu Yang! Ahhh, go go go! Overtake her, overtake her! Ahhh, go go go!"
Some spectators nearby had even started covering their ears. It was truly... too enthusiastic! But no one said anything, since this was normal for competitions.
Chu Yang was just there for fun, not really caring about her results. With a clear head, she swam forward, then quickly turned back, reaching the finish and hitting the touchpad before leaping out of the water. She took off her goggles and cap, wiped her face, and was the epitome of a water goddess emerging.
Her long hair was slightly damp, clinging to her back. Her eyes were a bit red from the water, but her face was bare yet fair and clean. She looked towards the stands, smiled at Chi Yan and the others, and tilted her head, making a writing motion towards them. This moment was captured by the school's publicity department.
Some people in the audience also noticed.
"Damn, who's that number 5? Mom, I'm in love!"
"Ahhhh! What a beautiful girl."
"Even though she's covered up, that figure... damn, it's the kind of figure people would envy. Slim where it should be slim, curvy where it should be curvy."
"Don't even think about it, guys. I know her. She's from the Literature Academy and has a boyfriend already: Chi Yan from the neighboring university."
"Ah, so it's her. What a pity."
After walking out of the pool area, drying her hair with a towel, Chu Yang was surprised to find out she had ranked fourth, only a little over a second behind third place. She had thought she would be last.
After changing into her regular clothes, Chu Yang quickly rejoined Jin Yang and the others in the stands.
They all showered her with compliments.
"Chu Yang, you looked like a beautiful mermaid, swimming so fast and gracefully."
"When you emerged from the water, it was like watching a fairy appear."
"Chu Yang, you're truly the best. We didn't expect you to place fourth in swimming. If it were us, we'd definitely be last."
Even Chi Yan chimed in, "My girlfriend is indeed the most amazing."
Chu Yang felt her face flushing from all the praise. "Alright, alright, you're all exaggerating. But I have completed my task."
Chi Yan took out a necklace from his pocket. "Not at all, you were truly outstanding. Now let me give you an award."
