However, this vote was completely unfair. Look at the marks on this note; it's obvious that it was tampered with.

How could that be? I clearly didn't see it.
The people below started discussing it again.
I know what everyone is thinking; everyone has their own desired destination. So, I'll talk to the director tomorrow to see if we can split up and go to different places.
"Is this alright, everyone?" Xia Yan's words of smoothing things over finally calmed everyone down.
Everyone readily agreed. Kaguya cheered again, and seeing her happy, Natsuhiko breathed a sigh of relief.
Chika, standing to the side, looked like a frostbitten eggplant; her previously upturned smile completely vanished. With a huff, she ran off the stage.
Frustrated, Chika took her anger out on Ishigami Yu, hitting him repeatedly while complaining and saying she wanted to go ride the carousel. But Ishigami Yu insisted he was completely innocent.

Time passed day by day, and the sports meet was drawing to a close. The athletes were all eager to compete, rubbing their hands in anticipation of this final competition. It seemed they were determined to prove themselves.
Xia Yan, who is athletically gifted, also tries running, high jump, and long jump every day, gradually increasing the difficulty.
"Alright, alright, everyone go and take a break. We'll meet here again tomorrow at the same time and place," Chika said with a smile.
After saying that, he took the mineral water from Kaguya and sat down next to her.
"What's the use of this? It doesn't do anything for their competition." Kaguya asked, puzzled.
"Hey, hey, you don't understand. Imagine you're exhausted and can't run anymore, but then you hear the cheers of a beautiful cheerleader. You're instantly recharged. That's the power of cheerleaders. I had a plan, a purpose," Qianhua said smugly.
I think it's probably to cheer on Ishigami Yu, hahaha, Kaguya said with a laugh.
How could I possibly do that for him? How could I possibly do that! Would I run 3000 meters to cheer him on? I was just trying to liven things up and cheer him on by chance.
"Alright, alright, I won't expose you anymore," Kaguya said.
"Hey, why don't you join our cheerleading squad? Look at your petite figure." Chika revealed a lecherous glint in her eyes.
Why would I participate in this? Never mind, never mind. Kaguya said, shaking her head.
I heard that some people are jealous because they didn't cheer for Xia Yan. His year-long first-place ranking has dropped to second. What will happen if he doesn't go? Right, Kaguya? Chika said smugly.
"Fine, fine, I'll join, I'll join, that's all that matters," Kaguya said helplessly.
Okay! See you here again tomorrow.
Hmm~ Kaguya didn't want to talk to him, so she gave a perfunctory reply.
One, two, three, four! Go! Go! You're number one. Go! Go! You're the best! The same slogan was used again. Kaguya had excellent dance talent and quickly learned all the moves. Chika was also very satisfied.
On the day of the sports meet, flags and drums resounded.
"Kaguya, Kaguya, hurry up! The match is about to start, come out quickly! You look great in that outfit! Don't waste time!" Chika shouted outside the locker room.
"No way! This is too revealing! This style doesn't suit me at all. I can't possibly wear this out!" "The skirt is so short, and with all those big dance moves, it's not appropriate. Shouldn't we consider changing into something else, Chika?" Kaguya felt ashamed wearing her gymnastics outfit and refused to come out, hiding in the changing room.
Xia Yan had been waiting on the field for a while, so he came to check on the situation.
Qianhua had no way to deal with her, so she pushed Xia Yan to the door of the changing room and said to him:
"Ahem, is the beautiful Kaguya in 4.9? Come out already, the race is about to start, I can't concentrate on running if you don't cheer me on!" Xia Yan shouted towards the locker room.
Kaguya, inside, heard Natsuhiko's voice and became even more embarrassed. Outside, people were buzzing with discussion.
Kaguya panicked and rushed out, yelling at Natsuhiko outside, "Are you an idiot?"
Kaguya lowered her head, her bangs obscuring her large, bright eyes.

Xia Yan fell silent as he looked at Kaguya in front of him.
Kaguya thought Natsuhiko disliked her appearance, and just as she turned to run back to the dressing room, Natsuhiko grabbed her arm.
"Oh, don't go, you look so beautiful like this." "I said you look so beautiful like this." Xia Yan gazed at Kaguya with deep affection. The people around them stopped what they were doing and watched them.
Kaguya's face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe red apple.
"Why are you pulling my clothes?" Kaguya said expressionlessly.
Huh? Xia Yan looked down and saw that Kaguya's clothes had been torn off by Xia Yan, revealing her fair skin.
He immediately let go. His hand, unsure of what to do, scratched at something.
"Yes...no..." Before Xia Yan could finish speaking,
With a sharp slap, Xia Yan's face immediately swelled up. Xia Yan looked at her innocently, covering his face with his hands.
"Don't hit someone in the face! Besides, there are a lot of female fans at today's match," Xia Yan complained to Kaguya.
"I didn't mean to, you look really good like this," Xia Yan said, sounding aggrieved.
Long-distance runners, please report for duty!
Long-distance runners, please report for duty! Long-distance runners, please report for duty! This announcement blared from the school's loudspeakers.
Okay, I have to go report now. Don't let me miss you later. Xia Yan rubbed his face and left.
Kaguya was left standing there dumbfounded.
The finals are very important to Xia Yan, yes! I definitely have to go. Thinking this, she got dressed, put on her favorite lipstick, and went to the playground.
Shuo, who had come to report with him, saw Xia Yan from afar and excitedly ran over to greet him. But as he ran closer, he saw Xia Yan covering his face with both hands. He asked, looking puzzled.
"What's wrong? Did Xia Yan's face hurt from being kissed by his little fangirl?" Shuo joked.
"It's alright, it's alright, don't worry about it," Xia Yan said rudely.
Driven by intense curiosity, Sakuya stepped forward and pried his hand away, revealing a red handprint.
"Tsk tsk tsk, who's so heartless as to lay a hand on your face? I bet it's Kaguya," Sakuya said.
How did you know? Xia Yan asked, looking puzzled.
You don't even look at any other girls except her. Sakuya said with absolute certainty.
Well, there's no time to explain, let's get ready and talk," the two said as they headed towards the track.
"Go Xia Yan! Go Xia Yan! We believe in you!" the junior girls shouted enthusiastically.
Many people were also discussing the handprint on Xia Yan's face. Everyone was speculating what Xia Yan had done.
Standing in the corner, Kaguya felt a pang of guilt watching Natsuhiko on the field. She then joined Chika and the others in performing the cheerleading routine. Soon, time passed, and they heard...
With a bang, Xia Yan and his group dashed out like flying swords. The wind stung Xia Yan's face slightly.
Kaguya noticed that something was wrong with Natsuhiko, rushed forward, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Go Natsuhiko! Go Natsuhiko! Get first place!"
Xia Yan saw Kaguya, a smile appeared on his face, and he suddenly accelerated, overtaking two people to take the lead.
A cheer erupted from the crowd as everyone cheered for Xia Yan.
The race had reached its climax, and everyone was exhausted, stubbornly pushing themselves to finish the last lap (it was tough!). Xia Yan was in second place, with another person not far ahead.
With the last lap about to end and the race nearing its conclusion, Xia Yan suddenly accelerated, overtaking the first-place runner and taking the lead.
After maintaining this position for 1 minutes and 291 minutes, they finally reached the finish line.
In the end, as expected, Xia Yan came in first place! The whole audience applauded.
Xia Yan was exhausted and collapsed on the ground. The final sprint had completely drained his strength, and he didn't have the energy to move at all.
Chapter 71 The Surprise of the Crowd
Chapter 71
The surprise of the crowd
Kaguya's eyes lit up slightly, because she was genuinely curious about the reward Natsuhiko had just mentioned.
Of course she knew what the rewards Xia Yan mentioned were, and they were exactly what she needed and most looked forward to. She never expected Xia Yan to use rewards as a way to give them to her.
"Are you serious? You're really going to give me a reward?! Did I hear that right?"
Kaguya, standing beside him, spoke with a hint of anticipation. Even her usually silent eyes couldn't help but sparkle slightly as she stared intently at Xia Yan, waiting for him to give the answer she most wanted to hear at that moment.
"Of course! Do you think I would go back on my word now that I've promised you? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"
After hearing Kaguya's question, Xia Yan couldn't help but chuckle softly beside her.
Chika couldn't help but chuckle to herself when she heard Xia Yan's words. It seemed that Xia Yan was indeed worthy of such a boastful statement; only he could utter such arrogant words.
However, Kaguya was so excited that she jumped up and hugged Natsuhiko tightly in front of everyone.
"Thank you! Thank you so much this time."
Kaguya's tone couldn't help but carry a hint of surprise, and even her eyes held a touch of amusement, while her voice held a hint of sadness.
"Why are you saying thank you to me? As long as you're happy, that's all that matters." Xia Yan couldn't help but turn his head away, nervously touching the gold button on his collar. This was the first time Kaguya had hugged him on her own initiative. What should he do? He was so happy, and Kaguya seemed very happy today too.
Kaguya's smile is so cute and beautiful, so soft and gentle. I really want to pinch her cheeks. What should I do? I can't resist! But Kaguya doesn't seem to like people touching her face. Ahhh, she's so cute! No, no, I have to hold back. He moved his fingers, but after thinking about it, he stopped his hand from reaching for Kaguya's cheek.
Oh well, she's so cute, I guess I can give her a hug.
He then placed his hands around Kaguya's waist and hugged her tightly. Feeling Natsuhiko's strong embrace, the shy Kaguya couldn't help but bury her head in Natsuhiko's chest.
Those on the other side were surprised that they would do such a thing. They looked at each other, and each of them couldn't help but have a hint of mockery in their eyes.

To them now, Xia Yan's actions were extremely unusual. He was usually gentle and kind to everyone, but he was cold and distant towards Kaguya, always leaving an unspeakable barrier between them.
They had never met Xia Yan before, and now, despite looking somewhat shy, he held Kaguya tightly and steadfastly.

Although everyone knew about the relationship between the two, no one had ever taken the initiative to break the ice. Unexpectedly, their relationship developed so quickly. But that's good, so that everyone won't have to worry about them later.
Upon seeing the situation before her, Chika couldn't help but smile with a hint of relief. She clenched her hands tightly, knowing full well how hard-won everything Kaguya had become. Natsuhiko had always avoided her, but this time he had firmly accepted her feelings and responded to them.
