âWeâre too far away, if we use our phones to take pictures, heâll definitely turn out blurry,â Li Li said, âAnd we can only stay in this one spot, if he runs to the other side, we wonât be able to catch him.â
Liang Lu jokingly said, âThere are photographers below, arenât there? Go bribe them to follow and shoot.â
Li Li glanced at her, âDo you think those photographers are arranged by my family? If I tell them to shoot, will they actually shoot?â
Tian Tian said with a smile, âAlthough the photographers arenât arranged by your family, they are indeed arranged by your friendâs family.â
Li Li hadnât reacted when Liang Lu, as if suddenly remembering something, said, âOh, I heard from Brother Tao Zheng that Star Way Entertainment recently trained a batch of new photographers, apparently for covering the competition, could it be that those photographers are prepared for the competition?â
âThose photographers are all professional athletes,â Tan Rou said, âThey may understand sports, but they donât know photography. Forty percent of this Youth Cup athletic event is sponsored by our family, so the photographers needed for the competition were trained at Star Path Entertainment.â
âAh?â Li Li looked regretful, âTan Rou, why didnât you let me know in advance? If I had known those photographers were trained by your family, I wouldâve definitely gone to greet them.â
âThey have just entered and still need to do some preparation work; itâs not too late for you to go talk to the photographers now,â Tan Rou said, âIâll have my second brother mention it in the group, find a few photographers who get along well with him, and have them take more photos and videos of athlete number 23.â
Li Li pretended to be shy, âThatâs so embarrassing.â Then she emphasized, âMake sure to take more photos and videos of his face; he has a good-looking face.â
Tan Rou and the others were speechless. Did Li Li really like that boy, or did she just enjoy looking at his face?
Given Li Liâs penchant for handsome guys, itâs probably just that the boyâs appearance is to her taste; she may not necessarily like him as a person.
Tan Rou had Tao Zheng send a message in the photographersâ training group, simply saying that athlete number 23 is a friend of Tao Zheng and asking the photographers to capture some shots of him, without mentioning that it was Li Liâs request.
The photographers, coming from a professional athlete background, were all quite loyal. Tao Zheng had always taken good care of them during training, so they were very willing to help with such a small matter as taking extra photos and videos.
Tao Zheng also reminded them to just take a few extra shots; their main job was still to photograph all the competing athletes, otherwise others might be dissatisfied.
The athletes participating in the 5000-meter run finally finished warming up and were about to start the race. Li Li was extremely excited; she pulled Lan Ning to the very front, planning to cheer for her idol during the first lap.
Lan Ning didnât like going to crowded places, but she wasnât as strong as Li Li. Before she knew it, Li Li had dragged her to the side of the barrier. If it werenât for the barriers surrounding the competition field, Li Li probably would have charged to the front of the competing athletes.
âSlow down, I canât run anymore,â Lan Ning wobbled, saying, âItâs already difficult to walk here, and with so many people, I feel like Iâm bumping into someone every second.â
Li Li teased her, âI always tell you to exercise more, but you donât like to. Starting from next week, youâre going to run with me.â
Lan Ning refused, âNo, I donât want to.â
Li Li had her own theory, âNo, you must go running to improve your fitness. If not running, we can also do long jump.â
She had participated in the standing long jump competition the day before and left immediately after her jump, because she only managed a distance of one meter six, too embarrassed to stay and wait for the rankings.
Not able to refuse, Lan Ning could only say, âOkay, then Iâll go run a few laps.â
Li Li and Lan Ning finally made it to the edge of the barrier. Though there was a bit of a distance from the starting point, as long as they shouted, the participating athletes would definitely hear them.
Li Li patted Lan Ningâs shoulder and said, âYou help me shout for Senior Wu Hao, tell him to go for it.â
Lan Ning was confused, âAh, why do I have to shout?â
Li Li touched her face with both hands, making a shy expression, âOh, just give a shout for me. If you do, Iâll treat you to dinner.â
