CHAPTER 561: 156. THE WEAK ONES_4

Among them, Hua Zhaofeng looked at the two hesitant figures and opened his mouth, saying,

"That’s all because of Spencer’s fault, you two, I am familiar with both of you, you are both good people. Especially you, Sakakawa-kun, we are in the same class. Have you forgotten? Last time at Universal Studios, I even greeted both of you."

Sakakawa Tatsuya and Nino exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat fond of Hua Zhaofeng.

"That’s right, I’ve mentioned to them about your situation before in class, Sakakawa-kun. And last time, when we went to the club competition, the Track and Field Club originally wanted to invite you two."

"Really... really?"

Hua Zhaofeng nodded and, placing his hand on his chest, said,

"I’m in charge of recruiting for the Track and Field Club, how could I not know? The school gave spots to accommodate other students who haven’t joined any clubs, so of course, I would choose someone I am familiar with..."

Upon hearing this, Sakakawa Tatsuya’s eyes lit up, while the light in Nino’s eyes dimmed as he said,

"I guess not me, I bet you didn’t even think of me."

"Who said that, Senior Nino, actually we are all aware of your situation."

"You guys..."

Hua Zhaofeng moved closer to Nino and, sympathetically patting his shoulder, said,

"Justice lies in the heart of people. Senior Arai was originally an old member of the club; nobody else dares to say anything. But it’s different now, I am very close with President Owen, I can get Arai to apologize to you."

"To me... apologize..."

Nino was momentarily stunned, but then, shaking his head, he said,

"Forget it, it’s all in the past... It’s not important anymore."

Hua Zhaofeng’s expression stiffened slightly but he still encouraged,

"Yes, the past is not important, what’s important is now. Sakakawa-kun, Senior Nino, I really can’t stand to watch you two suffer anymore."

"..."

"Spencer has a bad reputation, but it’s not worth it for her to drag you two down. Think about it, if she wins and stays, wouldn’t you two have to keep enduring this?"

When Hua Zhaofeng said this, both Sakakawa Tatsuya and Nino involuntarily swallowed their saliva.

But Nino still looked up at Hua Zhaofeng and suddenly asked,

"... Just say it, what do you want?"

"..."

Hua Zhaofeng blinked and then said,

"I’ll just say it, I’ve always had a problem with Spencer. You’ve seen it, that person beat me up in front of you guys without any reason..."

The more he spoke, the angrier he became,

"Yes, her family is rich, so they managed to squeeze a spot for her in the school. If not for President Owen’s integrity, she really would have succeeded.

"Having such a person continue to stay in school will only make things more disgusting. Not only will it disgust us, but don’t you guys feel sick and uncomfortable too?"

Listening to this, Nino realized what he was suggesting,

"You... want us to throw the game?"

"Throw the game?!"

Sakakawa Tatsuya’s expression changed slightly, he nearly exclaimed aloud.

Hua Zhaofeng made a "shh" gesture, then asked again,

"That’s what I’m thinking, but I also need to confirm first, right? If you guys lose, will the Golden Lion Group and Spencer do anything to you?"

"Well... she never said anything about that."

"Then that settles it, just fake it a bit convincingly, and isn’t that better for everyone?"

Hua Zhaofeng raised his finger and said to Sakakawa Tatsuya and Nino,

"Just think about it, even if she leaves after losing, her family is so rich, where can’t she go? Can she no longer find a school to attend?

"We’re different, if she leaves, won’t we return to normal?

"You won’t have to suffer from the disparagement that you don’t deserve, Sakakawa-kun you can join our Track and Field Club, and I can get President Owen to reveal the truth behind your issue with Arai..."

Nino hesitated slightly but whispered,

"I’ve already said it many times, but no one believed me..."

"That’s why we need President Owen to announce it; if he says it, everyone will believe it."

Hua Zhaofeng patted Sakakawa Tatsuya and Nino’s shoulders, word by word saying,

"Facing it head-on, although there’s not a high chance, you do indeed have the hope to win, after all, that Spencer is really fierce.

"Since you guys also have the chance to lose, why not realistically consider this losing probability, it’s better for you, for me, for everyone..."

"""

Anyway, no one noticed that the first and third runners were girls. It’s the second and fourth runners who are key, and they’re in your hands. Winning or losing is still up to you...

"What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Sakakawa Tatsuya and Nino both swallowed a gulp of saliva.

Then, they exchanged glances.

In each other’s eyes, there were flickering glints like ghostly fires.

...

...

"Heave-ho, heave-ho~"

On the track field, Spencer continued her warm-up exercises.

As she did, Yuanlina’s voice came over the broadcast again,

"Alright, alright, the final showdown is going to start in ten minutes!! Audience members, please return to your class’s seats and don’t wander around!

"Can the athletes from both clubs please hurry and assemble? Gather at the Student Council’s admin area for check-in!!"

Listening to the broadcast, Spencer stopped her warm-up exercises and turned her head to look at the empty space beside her.

"That’s weird, how come they’re taking so long in the bathroom, roar..."

Just as Spencer was about to take out her phone to remind the other members of the Hentai Club to come back for the check-in, Sakakawa Tatsuya and Nino finally ran back from there.

"Classmate Spencer, we... we’re back..."

"Sorry to have kept you waiting."

Spencer put her phone away and then nodded, saying,

"No problem, roar. Jiang Yun hasn’t arrived yet either. Don’t be nervous, just give it your all in the final, roar!"

"..."

Both of them swallowed a gulp of saliva, exchanging glances again.

Spencer, seeing they didn’t respond, even gave them a puzzled look.

Seeing this, Nino hurriedly said,

"Give it your all, let’s go!"

"Right!"

In Spencer’s eyes, the images of the two gray pigs in front of her seemed slightly distorted, prompting her to rub her eyes.

The next second she opened her eyes, two intact little pigs appeared in front of her again.

"..."

"Rumble rumble!"

At that moment, in the sky above, clouds gathered.

The thick clouds temporarily blocked out the sunlight, casting a thin shadow over the ground.

"Hentai Club, is everyone here? If not, it’s fine, come get your number tags and batons, and then listen to the rules!"

"Roar roar, okay!!"

Spencer didn’t take it to heart and quickly turned around, responding accordingly.

...

...

At the edge of the field, watching the sky gradually darken, Yan Huan took off his sunglasses.

But because his UV protection coat was tied with a waist belt, he didn’t take it off.

He looked at the eager Spencer, his face showing an indistinct expression.

He just silently cheered for her in his heart.

But the next second, right before his eyes, Jiang Yun came running wildly from outside the track field, face pale and clutching his phone, rushing towards Spencer’s direction.

"..."

Yan Huan observed the anger and tension on Jiang Yun’s face and couldn’t help but furrow his brow slightly.

What had happened?

"Spencer!! Don’t check in yet!!!"

The next second, Jiang Yun’s loud shout came through.
