Chapter 311 : Scapegoat
Chapter 311 : Scapegoat
In fact, what Chen Yao said wasn't groundless.
Although Lin Nan had been completely unaware before, she had been a man once upon a time. Now that she was on alert, she swept her gaze across the male classmates in the class and quickly spotted several students staring at her.
Her brows immediately furrowed.
Honestly, she really hated that kind of look. Men who could show that kind of gaze were basically thinking with their lower half.
To put it bluntly, they were lusting after her body.
So disgusting.
Lin Nan got goosebumps and without hesitation moved a little closer to Chen Yao.
She looked up at Chen Yao beside her and discovered that this guy was also secretly observing her with almost the same kind of gaze.
Looking down at the loose, short-sleeved shirt she was wearing, Chen Yao could probably see a bit of something from his angle.
Her face flushed red, shame washing over her in waves. She glared at Chen Yao in annoyed anger: "Believe it or not, I'll dig your eyes out!"
"I believe, I believe." Chen Yao unhesitatingly shifted his gaze toward Lilith in the distance.
Those long legs...
Sure enough, they still attracted attention...
After a lap of walking, the PE teacher had also finished running three laps. After returning to the starting point, the boys and girls split into two groups, following the teacher's instructions.
Lin Nan reluctantly left Chen Yao's side and moved toward the girls' group, but she hesitated as she looked at the neat line, not knowing where she should stand.
"Nan Nan!" Lin Kexin quietly waved at her.
She immediately went over. Among the group of girls, Lin Kexin was probably the only one she'd had any interaction with.
As soon as she walked to Lin Kexin's position, she made room for Lin Nan to stand in the line.
"Nan Nan, you've got something going on with Chen Yao, right?" However, the moment she stood up straight, Lin Kexin leaned forward and asked in a low voice.
What do you mean "something going on"? Lin Nan silently rolled her eyes, then nodded.
"Chen Yao's pretty handsome, huh? You actually snatched him up? What about Lin Yuan? Do you know if Lin Yuan has a girlfriend?" Although Lin Kexin's personality was outgoing, she wasn't as loud and excitable as Liu Xinyi. When talking to Lin Nan, she tried to keep her voice as low as possible.
But was Chen Yao handsome? And how would she know if Lin Yuan has a girlfriend?
Lin Nan turned to look at Chen Yao, who was standing with the teacher. She tilted her head slightly and after observing him for a moment, could only admit that this guy was maybe a tiny bit more handsome than she used to be.
Mainly his physique was good, and he looked spirited.
For some reason, the more she looked, the better looking he seemed... She quickly pulled her gaze back.
"What was it like living in the boys' dorm before?" Lin Kexin asked again.
She didn't really understand Lin Kexin's train of thought. How did she suddenly jump from the topic of men to the boys' dormitory? She could only helplessly shake her head and look at this girl with a confused expression.
The PE teacher began assigning today's tasks: girls would run 800 meters, boys 1000 meters. After running, they could move freely, and he didn't care whether they went back to the dorm or left campus to play.
Anyway, Lin Nan used to just show up for roll call during PE class, then would follow her roommates back to the dorm to play games.
After all, the dorm was on the fourth floor back then. Sometimes Lin Nan was too lazy to even come for roll call and would just have PE representative Chen Yao check her name off.
800 meter run...
Lin Nan sighed deeply. Although it was 200 meters less than before, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that her legs without an ounce of muscle could barely manage to run two laps with effort.
Back when she first became a girl, she had gone night jogging, so Lin Nan knew very well that after running one lap, she'd probably be done for.
Lin Kexin clearly hoped Lin Nan would integrate into her circle. Grabbing Lin Nan's hand, she kept chattering away: "How about we run together? If you run slowly, I'll stay behind you."
"What skincare products do you actually use?"
"Nan Nan, you don't have any arm hair! Did you get laser hair removal done?"
Lin Nan was extremely bewildered, her brain increasingly unable to keep up with this girl's thought process.
A moment later, Lin Nan stood at the starting line with a confused expression among a group of girls.
Today's sun was bigger than usual. Although they hadn't really exercised, most of the girls already had sweat on their foreheads. Lin Nan mixed among the group of girls and could clearly smell the faint fragrance coming from their bodies.
She wondered if it was the smell of sweat.
Lin Nan sniffed her own arm but could only smell the scent of body wash.
"Get ready to run, don't zone out." Lin Kexin tugged at the corner of Lin Nan's shirt.
Lin Nan had just come back to her senses when she saw that the dozen or so girls beside her had already rushed out from the starting line. Stunned for a moment, she hurriedly chased after them.
She used to hand out flyers on the walking street, often standing for an entire afternoon, but this apparently didn't help her calves develop any muscle. So now, after running just one or two hundred meters, familiar fatigue and soreness in her calves set in, and her breathing gradually grew heavy. She struggled to keep up with the main group, but after one lap, her pace still began to slow uncontrollably.
Her physical fitness was truly terrible.
"Can you keep running?" Lin Kexin had also fallen behind with Lin Nan to the back of the pack and asked softly.
But after this lap, Lin Nan was now only focused on gasping for breath and had no time to speak.
Her steps grew heavier and heavier, her knees seemed to gradually weaken, the depths of her mouth and nose gradually became dry, each gasp bringing waves of stinging pain. Her legs gradually began to go numb, as if moving mechanically out of inertia.
Lin Nan took the time to glance at Lin Kexin beside her. This girl didn't look any more robust than her, yet still seemed to have energy to spare.
I was a man once, after all!
If it weren't for Lilith! I wouldn't have ended up in this pathetic state even after running three laps.
Thinking of Lilith, Lin Nan suddenly became alert. She looked up and around, finally spotting Lilith standing directly ahead at the edge of the track with her arms crossed, watching her.
Before her brain could process anything, she saw Lilith stick out her leg with a mischievous smile.
Watching her pull this little trick, with Lin Nan's reflexes, she could completely stop in time or just jump over.
What's more, the track was so wide. It would be strange if Lilith's stubby little legs could actually trip anyone.
Lin Nan inwardly mocked Lilith's intelligence with disdain, thinking to run around her in a circle. But for some reason, her calves suddenly went weak, her head went blank, and she fell forward, crashing to the ground.
She seemed to hear Chen Yao's exclamation in the distance.
Lilith was stunned. She looked at her outstretched foot, then at Lin Nan who had fallen at least a meter away from her, unable to understand how she could have hurt someone from a distance without her magic power.
But seeing this, her eyes lit up. She rolled up her sleeves and, cursing, came forward ready to give a couple kicks: "Making you slander me every day! And making me eat cat food!"
"Lilith!" Lina, who had been playing on her phone not far away, noticed her movement. Her expression immediately changed and she rushed forward to grab her arm. "Are you crazy!"
"I..."
She nodded frantically.
"Why are you hitting Lin Nan!" Lina scolded her severely.
Lilith was even more confused. I was just trying to scare her, I didn't do anything! How is this my fault too?
