Chapter 49
Jiang Wei saw that Xiao Liang's condition had improved, and her heart felt at ease.
Today's event had reached its final stage—a healthy cycling tour around the city, jointly organized by several colleges and universities, with a massive number of participants.
Yi Ming had sent Jiang Wei a text message saying that he had finished showering and was on his way to the venue. After considering it, Jiang Wei brought Xiao Liang back to the venue as well, as there was a segment during the closing ceremony where Yi Ming, as the cycling representative, would give a speech, and Jiang Wei didn't want to miss it.
When they arrived at the venue, the bustling crowd of cyclists had almost all returned to the finish line.
From afar, Jiang Wei saw Yi Ming waving at her. His short hair was damp and glistening with droplets of water. He smiled and shook his head, revealing a dashing and charming grin.
Jiang Wei pursed her lips and let out a soft chuckle.
"What are you laughing at?"
Yi Ming walked over and playfully flicked her fair nose.
"You look a bit like Xiao Shi shaking off water after a bath."
"Well, at least Xiao Shi gets a hug after a bath, but I don't."
"How can that be? With Yi the champion's massive fan base, who wouldn't want to give you a hug?"
"I don't know about others, but I know my biggest fan hasn't hugged me in a long time... Let me think, when was the last time? Ah, it must have been in kindergarten..."
Jiang Wei shook her head with a smile and gently poked his chest.
She was already accustomed to Yi Ming's way of speaking. On the race track, Yi Ming was bold and determined, calm and composed. Off the track, he shed his professional cyclist persona, immediately becoming the playful and teasing "mischievous one" he was every day...
Yi Ming went backstage to prepare for his upcoming speech, while Jiang Wei sat on a bench, hugging a big bag of snacks he had bought for her.
"Your Yi Ming is really good to you," Xiao Liang said, eyeing the snacks in Jiang Wei's hands enviously.
Jiang Wei smiled and picked out the largest bag of potato chips, handing it to her. "These are baked, not fried, so they might be easier on your stomach. Here—for you."
Xiao Liang took the chips, her eyes curving into thin lines. "Thank you, Miss Jiang, for your kindness to us single dogs. Woof woof."
As the two girls happily munched on their snacks, a commotion suddenly arose from the waiting area in the front left.
Someone raised their voice, chanting: "Proposal, proposal, proposal!"
Girls are naturally inclined to "watch the drama," and Xiao Liang's ears perked up. Hearing about a proposal, her eyes lit up, and she grabbed Jiang Wei's wrist. "Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei, someone's proposing over there! Shouldn't we go take a look?"
Jiang Wei heard the commotion and felt curious too, but her expression remained calm. In contrast to Xiao Liang's excitement, she smiled faintly, "Let's not join the crowd for someone else's proposal; we might 'get hurt' by accident."
Of course, Xiao Liang understood what Jiang Wei meant. For a single girl like herself, watching such a scene would be like "eating a feast of dog food."
"No, I can't help it. Come with me, please?"
After a moment's thought, Xiao Liang couldn't resist the burning "gossip" fire in her heart any longer. Jiang Wei, shaken by her clinging arms, sighed and smiled helplessly, "Alright, alright. Let's go..."
Jiang Wei accompanied Xiao Liang as she struggled to squeeze into the crowd of onlookers. Looking up, she saw that a circle had formed in the center of the crowd.
Standing in the middle of that circle were two people. There was no need to guess—these two students were undoubtedly the main characters of today's story...
