Cheng Yang was so agitated that his body tilted, and his feet accidentally moved to the ground outside the throwing circle.
When he came back to his senses, he turned to face the judgeâs stern face.â Student Cheng Yang, you broke the rules.â
âPuchi!â Xie Tiao, who had run over to watch the show, laughed so hard that he hammered the ground.â Hahaha, Iâm dying of laughter. Youâre a sports sports student? Student Cheng, do you need kidney pills?!ââ
The female students who had been admiring Cheng Yang couldnât help but laugh.
Cheng Yangâs face was livid. The physical fitness that he was proud of was useless in front of Fu Pei!
His chest heaved up and down violently as he said to Fu Pei,â Youâre obviously at the level of a professional athlete. Why are you pretending to be a noob? Are you trying to win glory?â
The young manâs neck was covered in sweat, and his chest was heaving up and down slightly. The sweat flowed down his collarbone and into his vest. The wet fabric revealed the sexy shape of his abdominal muscles.
A few girls were drooling.
He took the towel Fu Ting handed him and wiped the sweat off his face. His lips curled up arrogantly.â You need to be professional when you throw a shot put? Youâre still so self-righteous when youâre a noob?â
The veins on Cheng Yangâs forehead bulged, and he almost jumped to the sky.
Fu Pei crossed his arms and lifted his chin. He raised his eyebrows lightly.â Little Fu Ting doesnât like a noob like you.ââ
As she spoke, she looked down at Fu Ting, who was walking over, and her lips curled into a mischievous smile.â If youâre looking for a man, donât look for this kind of weak chicken, understand?ââ
Cheng Yang was so angry that he didnât say anything. He turned around and left.
Fu Ting smiled sweetly at Fu Pei.â Dad, congratulations on getting first place. Youâre super awesome.ââ
Fu Pei could not hear the cheers around him. All he could see was the girlâs pure smile.
He stared at Fu Ting for more than ten seconds before he suddenly blurted out,â I have the answer to the question you asked me earlier.â
âWhatâs the problem?â
Fu Ting scratched her head. She had long forgotten about it.
Fu Pei lowered his eyes and hid the smile that flashed in his eyes.
My dream is to protect your smile.

The event in the afternoon was a three-kilometer run.
After Su Luoshui finished her sprint, she came to cheer Fu Ting on. Her worried mother went online and nagged,â Kid, the 3,000-meter race isnât suitable for you. Why donât you give up and change to the 200-meter race?ââ
Fu Tingâs round deer eyes seemed to be holding a puddle of water.â Luoshui, you donât have to worry. I can do it.ââ
After she finished speaking, she thought of something and ran out of the crowd to find Fu Pei, who was resting on the playground.
âDad, my event is about to start, but thereâs a relay rule. The parents of the contestants have to stand by the track to carry the baton. Can you help me carry the baton?â
Fu Pei crossed his arms and looked at her arrogantly.â That was a parent-relay. Do I look like a parent to you?â
âBut youâre my only father.âFu Ting lowered her eyes in disappointment and muttered softly,â Everyone else has parents to relay their messages, but I donât.â
Fu Peiâs eyes moved, but he did not say anything.
Knowing that Fu Pei cared about his reputation, Fu Ting did not force him and quietly went to prepare for the competition.
During the warm-up, the parents of all the runners in the 3000-meter race had already raised the batons on both sides of the track.
Xu Tingting had also participated in the three-kilometer run. Of course, it was purely to go against Fu Ting. The girl beside her who was cheering her on said,â Tingting, only your parents are here. Theyâre so nice to you. My family doesnât care about sports events like this.ââ
Xu Tingting was a little proud.â Of course. Iâm not like an orphan who doesnât have any parents to attend the competition.â
The little girl chuckled in cooperation.â You mean Fu Ting? Didnât she call Fu Pei Daddy? Why didnât you ask Fu Pei to come?â
Xu Tingting covered her mouth and laughed.â She treats Fu Pei as her father, but Fu Pei will never treat her as his daughter. Naturally, he will not pass on the relay to her.â
Fu Ting focused on tying her shoelaces and ignored them.
âLook, isnât that Big Boss Fu? Why is he here?â Sounds of discussion could be heard.
Fu Ting looked up abruptly.
Among the group of middle-aged parents, a young man stood in the middle like a pine tree. He was tall and slender, holding a baton in his hand. He was very eye-catching.
Xu Tingting instantly slapped Fu Peiâs face. Fu Pei was such a prideful person. Why would he stoop so low as to carry the baton for Fu Ting?
Fu Ting ran over, her sweet and childish voice filled with uncontrollable joy.â Dad, didnât you say you wouldnât help me relay?ââ
Fu Peiâs face hurt when he thought of the sentence âif I continue to talk to her, Iâm not a human.â
He lowered his head and his eyelids drooped slightly. When he met Fu Tingâs big eyes, he humphed nonchalantly.â Nothing. I just suddenly donât want to be a human anymore.ââ
