This Childhood Sweetheart is a Little Sweet

Chapter 86

In Coach Wu's car, everyone almost unanimously identified Gray Tiger as the culprit behind the mischief.

"Do you think we should report this to the Competition Committee?"

Chen Zeyi's brows furrowed slightly as he looked sternly at Yi Ming.

"I think we must severely punish this Gray Tiger. He deprived Yi Ming of the opportunity to compete in this competition and nearly cost him his life. Yet he still has the nerve to stand on the podium and receive the award. I'm simply outraged..." Liu Xiaoyun slapped his thigh heavily.

While those around him were discussing the incident heatedly, the protagonist Yi Ming sat in the car, his eyes closed in contemplation, showing no reaction for a long while.

He pondered.

If it was just a matter of ranking, would it really incite such great enmity from Gray Tiger towards him?

They were previously unacquainted, and it was only a provincial-level competition. If this incident came to light, not only would Gray Tiger's competition results be cancelled, but his eligibility to participate in higher-level competitions in the future might also be revoked.

Why would he do something so foolish?

Yi Ming rubbed his brow, but after much thought, he couldn't find an answer. He sighed lightly and leaned back in his seat.

"I want to meet Gray Tiger."

As Yi Ming's faint words left his lips, everyone in the car except Coach Wu, who was driving, turned their heads to look at him.

Liu Xiaoyun cried out first, anxiously: "Have you lost your mind? He has violent tendencies and almost caused you to fall to your death on the field!"

"I know."

Yi Ming straightened up, clasping his hands together, his gaze as calm as a deep pool.

"But I want to know why. I don't want to become his target of attack for no reason. I won't let him off the hook for this, but apart from an apology, I also want him to give me an answer."

Yi Ming paused, then turned his gloomy gaze towards Jiang Wei, then towards the coach and the two brothers: "This time, I not only missed out on the chance to be the first place, but also let down those who were concerned about me and disappointed those who had high expectations of me. I will settle all these accounts with him, one by one."

The calmer and more composed his voice, the more it conveyed an aura of immense strength.

Jiang Wei gazed at Yi Ming with some surprise. She suddenly felt that he had grown in an instant.

He had always been clear about his likes and dislikes, but now he had developed a more mature and tenacious edge. He would not bully others, nor would he allow himself to be bullied. If someone bullied him, he would not meekly accept it.

"Yi Ming."

Jiang Wei spoke softly, her voice small but gentle: "I support you, but... be careful."

"Jiang Wei, you..."

Liu Xiaoyun frowned, showing his confusion.

Wasn't this girl usually the most worried about Yi Ming's physical well-being? How could she...

"Okay, thank you."

Yi Ming smiled faintly, letting out a light breath. In that moment, he suddenly felt relaxed all over.

Indeed, his childhood sweetheart understood him the best.

If he chose a path, she would not stop him. She would always believe that Yi Ming's choices were right. All she could do was support him, be a safe harbor for him, and protect his safety to the best of her ability. As for the rest of the journey, she would let Yi Ming walk according to his heart.

Coach Wu had remained silent throughout the journey.

Upon hearing this, his heart couldn't help but surge like waves. He seemed to suddenly understand why Yi Ming had been unable to forget this girl for over a decade.

The reason was simple, just a few words: she was worth it.

Such a good girl deserved all pure and tenacious love that endured.
