Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 761 - 330 Let go of your pride

Leng Yunyang, Gu Bichen, and Liu Runxi had already started warming up quickly and transitioned into running. The sight of these handsome boys in motion became a unique scene on the track.

After a simple warm-up, Shen You’an joined the running group.

Jiang Yumo was not one to be left behind either.

In an instant, only Yuan Tingfang and another extremely frail, pale-looking girl were left standing in place.

The two exchanged awkward glances.

Under Zhan Guangtian’s watchful gaze, the two reluctantly began to run.

From a distance, Zhan Guangtian observed with a frown; a few students had genuinely poor physical fitness, running as though their lives depended on it. "Land on the balls of your feet first, lean your upper body slightly forward, keep your elbows bent at a ninety-degree angle. That boy in the yellow shirt, fix your breathing—inhale on three steps, exhale on three steps... Form loose fists and relax your fingers."

Leng Yunyang, Gu Bichen, and Liu Runxi seemed to be regular exercisers. Their running form was decent, with no noticeable mistakes.

What surprised him was Shen You’an. This girl appeared far too slender, so much so that from a distance she gave off a fragile, delicate impression. Yet unexpectedly, her running form exuded strength. Her posture was correct, her breathing rhythm precise, and she didn’t seem the slightest bit strained. Her steps were light as clouds.

Her pace was neither fast nor slow, carrying an almost leisurely, unhurried quality, like a stroll by the seaside. Yet she effortlessly overtook Leng Yunyang and Gu Bichen.

Now running side-by-side with Liu Runxi.

Zhan Guangtian nodded in satisfaction.

Shen You’an truly knew how to surprise people. A true academic prodigy must possess not only exceptional intelligence but also the discipline to prioritize physical health. Only a strong body could sustain a sharp mind.

"Your foot—running’s not an issue for it?" Shen You’an spoke while matching her breathing to her running pace, still finding energy to converse.

Liu Runxi glanced sideways at her, his breathing momentarily disrupted. He quickly looked ahead again to steady his rhythm.

"It’s fully healed."

"That’s good to hear."

Gu Bichen’s gaze lingered on the two figures running shoulder-to-shoulder ahead, his brow subtly furrowing.

Leng Yunyang’s cheeky voice floated near his ear again: "Did you know the post shipping those two as a couple on Lanya High School’s forum has already hit thirty thousand comments?"

On New Year’s Eve, Liu Runxi had saved Shen You’an just in the nick of time, ending up bedridden for more than half a month because of it. After the incident, the school forum practically exploded with shipping frenzy.

The "shipping squad" was mostly made up of girls. Liu Runxi was the campus heartthrob, an untouchable flower on a high cliff, admired but beyond reach.

Meanwhile, Shen You’an was the academic goddess, whose stellar grades left others in the dust. Recently, she had only grown more beautiful. At the New Year’s Eve gala, she showcased a breathtaking piano performance that maxed out her "goddess aura." At this level, if you can’t beat her, you might as well join her.

It was just like the idol dramas girls loved the most—they’d project themselves into Shen You’an’s shoes, fantasizing about a campus heartthrob like Liu Runxi devoting himself to them, selflessly and without regrets.

Some girls even dug up numerous subtle details to prove that Liu Runxi harbored extraordinary feelings for Shen You’an. Suppressed, restrained, yet uncontrollably drawn closer—this kind of entangled yet magnetic love was as addictive as a drug, impossible to quit.

Gu Bichen coldly remarked, "So what."

"So, do you think they’ll end up together? Wanna make a bet?"

"Boring." Gu Bichen increased his pace, leaving Leng Yunyang behind.

Leng Yunyang smirked, an ever-persistent presence, reappearing next to Gu Bichen. "Let’s be honest, Gu, you’re the luckiest guy in our class. Your fiancée is the eldest daughter of the Yu family, a perfect match for you—an arranged marriage made in heaven. Gu, just don’t be that kind of scumbag, you know, the type who juggles both the bowl and the pot..."

Gu Bichen suddenly stopped, raising a hand to grab Leng Yunyang by the collar. In a chilling voice, he said, "Shut your mouth. If you keep spouting nonsense, don’t blame me for being rude."

Leng Yunyang shrugged, flashing an infuriatingly smug grin. "Looks like that Miss Yu really is your sore spot. The moment someone mentions her, you lose control."

Zhan Guangtian blew his whistle. "What are you two doing?"

Gu Bichen released his grip and resumed running.

"Leng Yunyang, don’t push me."

Running alongside him, Leng Yunyang exuded a casual, languid air. His tone was smugly provocative. "The Crown Prince of De Ren—just a word from you could have me kicked out of the Young Talent Class. But I know you won’t."

His voice carried absolute certainty. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Gu Bichen clenched his fists. "That’s because you don’t know me."

Leng Yunyang glanced at the two figures running ahead, the corner of his lips curving into a faint smirk. "I can help you."

Gu Bichen’s steps faltered briefly, but in the next moment, he continued without a word, seamlessly picking up his pace again.

Shen You’an and Liu Runxi were the first to complete the five-kilometer run. The two looked composed, breathing evenly, presenting a stark contrast to the other students on the track gasping for air and collapsing like dogs.
