Chapter 6, The Theft at the Sports Meeting

Well

Running only 800 meters was not enough for Tang Mi to return to her dormitory to rest, but everyone knew that the greater blow to her was the money loss incident—although she showed no outward signs of distress, everyone understood that money held significant meaning for Tang Mi. It was certain that she would find it difficult to accept psychologically for a while

My foot is a bit sore

At this point, Li Zhixing was stuck, and immediately thought of the theft in the girls' dormitory; she was the first to discover it—when the whole story came together, she realized that she wanted to buy shoes but had no money left

I have already made a phone call, and I will arrive at the school in about twenty minutes

After participating in the semifinals of the 400-meter race, Tang Mi moved to the sand area in the center of the playground to prepare for the semifinals of the high jump competition

In short, do not worry. Ye Yichao stood up, "Tang Mi, there are still matters in our class, I must return to the playground first"

I don't think you are fine, your complexion is very poor

Tang Mi nodded, the second place can earn 5 points, bringing the total score to 85

From the sports field, there is an uphill path shaded by lush greenery and fragrant osmanthus. She walked very slowly, step by step, and Li Zhixing accompanied her without any hint of urging. Tang Mi kept glancing at him, but he pretended not to notice. After a while, she could no longer hold back and said softly, "Actually, I'm fine. You can go back first."

Li Zhixing picked up the sports shoes on the ground and took a look; they were size 35. Running in shoes that were two sizes too small, she managed to secure second place in the entire school. Seeing how hard she ran, it is no wonder that in such a short time, her feet were covered in blisters.

When she first entered the first year of high school, her cold and taciturn demeanor made many classmates uncomfortable, and behind her back, quite a few referred to her as "pretentious" and "acting noble." It was not until the sports meeting two months later that the school suddenly decided to "reform and innovate" by adding a girls' 1500 meters and a boys' 3000 meters long-distance race. At that time, none of the girls in the class were willing to participate, and it was Tang Mi who stepped up to address the urgent need. In that 1500 meters race, she fought until the last second and achieved third place in the entire school. In that moment, all the classmates in the class shouted in unison, "Go, Tang Mi!" The students in the first year of high school are simple-minded; seeing her work so hard, they could no longer dislike her, and all previous grievances against her vanished.

Doubt? What doubt?

I did not mean that

High school students living on campus are unlikely to have much money, with at most a few hundred yuan for living expenses, and their mobile phones can be considered the most valuable possessions they own

"It's just a little scraped skin, nothing serious." She pulled her foot back slightly, enduring the pain as she grabbed her sock and put it on

Li Zhixing, thank you

Ye Yichao gave her money, which she held tightly in her hand. He bent down and took out two bills from the roll of cash she was gripping.

The girls' courtyard is very quiet, as hardly anyone chooses to return to the dormitory while the sports meet is in full swing. After all, numerous competitors are competing on the playground, and the cheers for them almost break through the clouds

The sports meeting commenced on Wednesday afternoon. After each class entered, they were assigned to their respective seating areas. The stands were divided into several sections, with Class 3 (1) assigned to the right half. As autumn arrived, the osmanthus flowers by the playground bloomed, filling the air with their fragrance, which was particularly pleasant for Class 3 (1). For the senior students, those without events could return to the classroom for self-study; however, the atmosphere was so comfortable that very few chose to leave the playground to go back to study.

This year's senior class (1) has continued to achieve good results in the sports meeting, relying on the performance of the boys. The most important event on Thursday morning was the hurdles race, in which Li Zhixing won the championship in the 110-meter hurdles, creating a small climax for the entire class and even the whole school. Li Zhixing does not participate in many events, only the triple jump and the hurdles, but in these two events, he can rank among the top three in the school, and this alone is enough to be impressive.

Tang Mi seized the key components of his words: "Sending shoes over? Sending them to the school?"

What does he want you to do

"Prior to the incident, there had never been a theft case at the school, and this alone eliminates the majority of students and faculty, leaving the remaining suspects easy to deduce"

It was locked, but it has been pried open

I still have some change ... ... There is also money on the meal card ... ...

Thief

However, how can this be acceptable

As Li Zhixing mentioned, twenty minutes later, Li Zhixing returned from the school gate with a brand new pair of pure white sneakers. Tang Mi opened the shoebox, placed the shoes on her knees, and the fresh scent of rubber enveloped her; the price tag was still attached, 598 yuan

I remember the school gives you eight hundred a month, right? I can just give it to you

No, there is no need to trouble others to bring it; I can go buy it myself later

The referee called out her name loudly

She is quite adept at concealing her emotions, yet everyone can see the grievances and forbearance on her face, leading one to anticipate that this theft incident has dealt her a significant blow

How could it be possible to retrieve what has been stolen? Tang Mi knew he was merely comforting himself, but he truly could not muster any spirit, and he nodded with an expression that was a mix of perfunctory acknowledgment and appreciation.

By Thursday afternoon, many projects gradually entered the final stage

When she raised her hand for the fifth time, Teacher He was quite concerned: "Tang Mi, you have too many projects, are you okay?"

It has been ten minutes since she completed the 800 meters. According to the usual pattern, she should have already regained her breath, but at this moment, her complexion is increasingly pale, and her breathing is not steady, which is not a good sign. When she was in her first year of high school, her condition after running 1500 meters was much better than it is now

Why not go buy it

"Not great, either fourth or fifth, I can't remember." Ye Yichao wiped his sweat and sat down to the left of Tang Mi, "I heard that the girls' dormitory was robbed? Did you lose any money too?"

Ye Yichao, however, became interested in Li Zhixing's words: "How do you know?"

Tang Mi still felt somewhat hesitant

Li Zhixing's gaze suddenly sharpened a few degrees: "What are you doing?"

What size shoes do you usually wear

Li Zhixing watched as Ye Yichao's hand moved away from her head, lifting a few soft strands of hair. She usually wore her hair at shoulder length, but now, with her hair tied up, a small red mole appeared just below her ear, contrasting against Bai Zhe's fair skin, resembling a tiny blood droplet

However ... ...

Tang Mi, what happened to your foot

The school's infirmary is not far from the playground, located in the small office building next to the Jingya Memorial Hall. The infirmary can only treat minor illnesses, and anything more serious is beyond its capacity

Li Zhixing glanced at her, his gaze darkening.

Ye Yichao was very surprised: "She is not here? Isn't that very suspicious?"

Li Zhixing pointedly asked: "Aren't you going home?"

Yan Xiaodong is indeed a bit of a softie. Although she mourns for her own phone, she quickly notices Tang Mi's unusual behavior. She watches as Tang Mi clutches that old-fashioned phone, which is basically only capable of making calls and is so outdated that even thieves disdain to steal it, looking lost and pale as if she has just seen a ghost. Quietly, she asks her: "How much did you lose?"

Her voice is heavily laced with the bitterness of Coptis chinensis

Xu Lu said: "You are amazing! In the last three seconds, you surpassed the second place and secured the second position in the entire school!"

The triple jump competition center in the middle of the playground is bustling with activity, and judging by the cheers from the surrounding female spectators, it seems that Li Zhixing is performing well in the rankings

He gently patted her head

Teacher He patted her shoulder and said, "I am aware of the theft; do not worry. If you need money, I can lend you some."

"Tang Mi, what is the matter?"

The so-called infirmary is actually a small room with three compartments, staffed by one doctor and one nurse. At this moment, both are very busy—students today often struggle with physical fitness, leading to frequent incidents of sprained ankles and hypoglycemic episodes during exercise. The infirmary has been busy all day long

Li Zhixing sat down again and watched the doctor wrap her toe with a bandage, asking her: "How much money was stolen from you?"

I suppose not..." Tang Mi said hesitantly, "Her daughter is in the first year of high school and is also participating in the sports meet

Tang Mi changed into Ding Xiaoxiao's sneakers and returned to the playground

She picked up the phone, glanced at the number, and answered it. Her responses were brief; after a few "mm-hmms," she concluded with, "I am in the infirmary"

Guan Wei sat down heavily on the stool, her face pale and ashen, as if she had been struck by a sudden blow.

Hey, Tang Mi, don't squat on the ground

Tang Mi has a total of two pairs of shoes, one pair of leather shoes and one pair of sports shoes. The pair she is currently wearing was purchased two years ago from a mall, specifically a discounted brand of sneakers, which were relatively inexpensive. She has taken great care of them, and the shoes have faithfully accompanied her for over two years. However, today, they can no longer withstand the intense exercise of recent days and are on the verge of retirement—just as her next event is the highlight of the day, the 800-meter run scheduled for one hour later.

She stood up and looked around: "Teacher He, I have no more projects next, I would like to return to the dormitory to rest for a while."

Teacher He also nodded. Tang Mi is someone who knows her limits, and since she dares to say this, she must have considerable confidence in her physical abilities

After a while, Tang Mi finally stood up and gently shook Ding Xiaoxiao

"You must change into a pair of sports shoes," Li Zhixing pointed out, "You have a relay race tomorrow, and you cannot continue wearing ill-fitting sports shoes. Or do you want to drag the entire class down and not achieve a ranking? In any case, the shoes have already been purchased; you should try them on first before making any further comments"

Li Zhixing looked at her for a while, his gaze finally resting on her feet: "What happened to your feet?"

Is the cash placed in the drawer

Do you have any way? Borrow money from Ding Xiaoxiao? Your dormitory has basically been robbed

"Borrowed from Ding Xiaoxiao"

Ye Yichao has finally expressed his agreement

Although the money is lost, do not be sad

Her feet had been in pain for a long time. Tang Mi hesitated for a moment, then slowly took off her sneakers and socks, revealing her feet

Although the belongings were lost, life must go on. After Tang Mi informed the police of the quantity of her stolen possessions, she headed to the playground

Ye Yichao pondered: "But if that is the case, then all the thousands of teachers and students in the school are suspects, making it not easy to identify the thief."

I do not know either

Alas, it is indeed unfortunate

Xu Lu felt very embarrassed, and Yan Xiaodong weakly said: "Xiao Lu, you go to the sports field and keep an eye on things... go talk to Teacher He about this situation..."

She looked up at him, and for a moment, Li Zhixing's face suddenly became blurred. After that, when she met his gaze again, she realized that she couldn't utter a single word. After a long while, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she lowered her head

His appearance is quite rare, instantly transforming from a genius type to a passionate sports type, leaving one feeling enlightened

Two people are returning to the girls' dormitory together. The girls' dormitory is located on the east side of the school, requiring them to cross most of the campus.

"No problem, I go running every morning," Tang Mi said confidently

"If the shoes don't fit, are you still going to run 800 meters like it's nothing?" Li Zhixing's expression darkened, "You don't have these sports shoes, do you?"

He is indeed the charismatic figure who has captivated the entire school. Although he left the school for a year, he returned to the spotlight of the entire school by winning the championship in a competition.

No trouble, let's go

Li Zhixing was rendered speechless

Alright, thank you

In the 800-meter race, she had participated in previous years and achieved third place in the entire school. This year, as a senior, she must not perform worse than this ranking. She exercises every day, and the 800 meters is actually not a big deal, but today it was particularly difficult due to wearing ill-fitting shoes. Fortunately, Tang Mi has always been tough on herself, gritting her teeth and pushing through to the very last second

Tang Mi changed into sportswear, gathered her shoulder-length hair, and ran and jumped on the playground, participating in one event after another

Thank you today

While waiting for the doctor, Li Zhixing said: "Take off your shoes and let me have a look"

"There is no need to worry too much," Li Zhixing said. "This theft occurred in Xuan Zhong and involved a significant amount, so both the school and the police will take it seriously."

Tang Mi replied softly: "All of it"

What?

In general, the main entrance of the girls' dormitory is closed by the dormitory supervisor after the class bell rings. However, during the sports meeting, the entrance remains open to facilitate students changing their clothes

Tang Mi seemed to be deep in thought, nodding slightly

Tang Mi was left speechless, her heart filled with complexities that were difficult to articulate. Indeed, just moments ago, Li Zhixing had stepped out to make a phone call, but she never expected that it was for her.

She ran to her desk, where the drawer had been pried open. A few books from the drawer were thrown onto the floor, and the money she had kept in the drawer had also vanished without a trace. She climbed onto the bed and searched her pillow; her phone was still there. Holding her phone, she felt dizzy, her legs weak, and she suddenly sat down on the floor

The doctor finished with the previous patient and came to examine Tang Mi's injuries

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhixing returned to the medical room and saw the doctor disinfecting her scraped toe. The disinfectant applied to the wound must be quite painful, yet she only silently raised her eyebrows slightly. Li Zhixing thought to herself, she really is quite resilient. No, it should be said that she has always been able to endure; after running 800 meters until now, she has finally changed her expression just a little.

It is done, it is sufficient. You should try it on first to see if it fits.

This pair of sports shoes is from the same brand as her previous ones, and the styles are quite similar

In less than a minute, Ye Yichao, the character in the conversation between the two, appeared at the door of the infirmary, running in with his head drenched in sweat

Her consolation was no different from adding fuel to the fire, and others simply could not take it in; instead, they found it jarring

Then... it would be good for you to go back and rest a bit," said Teacher He. "Xu Lu, you accompany her to go.

Is your foot injured

To calmly accept the goodwill of others is a form of gratitude Therefore, there is no need to thank

Of course, there is another reason; the sports meeting is indeed a great opportunity to unabashedly admire handsome men and beautiful women

After a while, she finally gathered enough energy, and her legs regained strength, allowing her to rush downstairs to find the dormitory supervisor, Teacher Liu.

Yan Xiaodong's expression suddenly changed; even though she was usually eloquent, at this moment, she could not utter a single word

Li Zhixing nodded at Ye Yichao, as a form of greeting: "How did you perform in the 1500 meters?"

In the parallel class, there are quite a few students with athletic specialties, and ordinary students who have not undergone professional training cannot be compared to them. However, through his own efforts, Tang Mi, after the preliminary rounds, advanced to the finals in both high jump and the 400-meter run.

Apart from the 800-meter run, the other events have both preliminary rounds and finals. Tang Mi spent the entire afternoon participating in competitions and hardly ever went up to the stands

Ding Xiaoxiao lost her mobile phone and 300 yuan; Yan Xiaodong and Guan Wei did not lose much money, but their phones were lost; only Xu Lu remained unscathed. Although the teacher strictly ordered that no mobile phones were allowed at the sports meeting, she chose to ignore this and cleverly brought her phone to the sports field, and she also carried cash with her.

Guan Wei looked at Xu Lu with disdain: "You haven't lost anything, you're clever, is this a show of superiority!"

As soon as she opened the door, she felt something was off; she inserted the key and exerted a bit of force, and the door opened automatically

During her run-up, she vaguely felt that something was not right with her feet. Although she successfully cleared the bar and entered the finals, the moment her foot hit the ground, she distinctly heard her shoe let out a slight cry. Indeed, when she bent down to take a look, she saw that the rubber sole of her sports shoe had a large crack, and a considerable amount of sand had gotten inside the shoe

Li Zhixing looked at her and said, "How much money do you need? I can lend it to you."

Tang Mi truly could not smile, and softly said: "Perhaps it is a blessing in disguise."

Xu Lu was initially pleased with her own brilliance and prowess, but upon hearing the wails of despair echoing throughout the dormitory, she dared not express her joy. Instead, she could only comfort everyone by saying, "It's alright, the school has already reported it to the police, and besides, losing money can avert disaster."

What is the total score

In an instant, the color drained from Tang Mi's face

As soon as she arrived at the playground, she was surrounded by people. The incident of theft in the girls' dormitory has spread throughout the school like autumn winds sweeping through wheat fields. The girls' 800-meter race and the boys' 1500-meter race are the main events, and the classmates from the cheerleading team have come to the side of the playground to cheer for Tang Mi

Yes

Li Zhixing stood in front of her, glanced at the price tag, and said: "It was bought at a 30% discount, roughly around 200."

It was not until now that Tang Mi realized there was no need to explain to Li Zhixing, so she closed her mouth and simply stopped speaking

The recent theft began on the second floor of Building 1 in the girls' dormitory and reached the third floor. Each floor has twelve dormitories, totaling over twenty dormitories, with sixty to seventy female students affected by the theft. The primary targets of the theft were students in their senior year of high school.

Tang Mi never expected that Ye Yichao would come straight to the point. She stared at him in a daze, and after a long while, she finally came to her senses, wanting to push the money back.

The police arrived twenty minutes later to investigate the theft. After registering the stolen items reported by the crowd, the senior high school boarding girls gradually returned to the playground—this was a requirement from both the teachers and the police. They also needed to re-examine the scene.

Ding Xiaoxiao was deeply affected by the blow, her voice muffled in the pillow: "It's under the bed, take it yourself."

Tang Mi said softly: "It's nothing, Teacher He. Many students have had their belongings stolen, and I am not the only one."

Li Zhixing nodded at Ye Yichao, saying, "A thief who can break into more than twenty dormitories and does it so skillfully must have a criminal record; they are not a novice. I believe the police will consider this point."

It is 80 minutes.

Li Zhixing stood at the window of the infirmary and looked out, then turned to Tang Mi: "Don't worry too much, I believe the money can be recovered."

Li Zhixing inhaled sharply

Abnormal

"It's nothing much, I can find a way." Tang Mi's voice was very soft, but her face visibly paled as if struck by a hidden concern.

She had no time to chat casually with Li Zhixing, and simply said "no" before leaving the playground

The tips of her big toes had developed three to five blisters, and one of the blisters had burst, exposing a bright red patch of flesh the size of a small fingernail, with blood adhering to her socks. She was naturally fair-skinned, and the skin on her feet, shielded from light, was even whiter, creating a stark contrast between the uninjured skin and the vivid red flesh, distinctly red and white.

This dormitory building has been around for some years, and the lock is still of the oldest type. However, no matter how loose the lock may be, it should not open with just a push

Xiao Xiao, may I borrow your sports shoes? I will wash them clean and return them to you this weekend

Still here

"It cannot be Teacher Liu; she has managed the girls' dormitory for over ten years and would never engage in embezzlement." Li Zhixing nodded slightly, "However, this matter is indeed a coincidence"

She slowly put on her new shoes, which were soft and comfortable, fitting her feet perfectly

She did not bother to check the high jump rankings and went straight back to the girls' dormitory. For the time being, the only option is to go to a store near the school within the next hour to buy a pair of sports shoes

There are two male students in the room, one of whom has sprained his ankle on the sports field. Dr. Zhao from the school hospital is examining his injury. In the end, he applied a patch and advised, "You should ask the teacher for a leave of absence, inform your parents, and go to a major hospital in the city for an X-ray."

In the next moment, her phone rang. Ever since the dormitory phone was stolen, she had been carrying her phone with her. Although the likelihood of a second theft occurring was low, the lingering fear of the previous loss remained.

In fact, Tang Mi was well aware that even without asking for help, there were those who would voluntarily offer money, which was certainly preferable to humbly begging for assistance. Moreover, she always needed to borrow money, and since she would inevitably owe someone a favor, it was far better to owe it to Ye Yichao than to anyone else.

"You are always borrowing money from others," Li Zhixing said, "Since Ye Yichao has sent the money over, you can take it and return it to him later"

The sports meeting is the most cherished time for all students in the school. During the two and a half days of the event, classes and morning self-study sessions are suspended, allowing students to sleep in until after 7 o'clock. Those without events can openly enjoy themselves, and after the sports meeting concludes, they can leave school early for vacation. It can be considered the happiest two and a half days for students in the school.

I do not have a bank card

It should be noted that although Tang Mi has always been quite indifferent in her interactions with others, the main reason for her relatively high overall favorability in the class is likely her willingness to exert effort on the sports field for the honor of the class

Li Zhixing decisively refused: "My competition today has already concluded, and I have the freedom to go wherever I wish"

Li Zhixing squeezed out of the crowd, his body radiating heat, as if he had just been pulled out of a steamer

The door of the dormitory management office is slightly ajar, and Teacher Liu is not in the room. She uses the phone in the management office to call various departments of the school

After receiving the medical advice, another young man helped the patient walk away, limping.

Then, I will escort her back to the dormitory

Ye Yichao directly pulled out 800 yuan from the pocket of his sportswear and stuffed it into her hand, his whole body radiating warmth, even the money in his pocket was steaming: "I thought you might be short on cash right now, so I brought this for you."

She nodded, said nothing further, walked to the side of the track, retrieved her number tag, and began preparing for the long-distance run

Ye Yichao

No need, I can find a way.

How much exactly

37

Every month she has to return home, and it takes three transfers to get from Xuanzhou to Tangjiacun. The round-trip fare is also over 200, which is not a small expense. At this moment, Li Zhixing struck a chord with her hidden concerns, and her expression suddenly tightened—indeed, she was supposed to go home tomorrow, but now with this unexpected incident, whether she can still visit her grandmother this month has suddenly become uncertain

Li Zhixing looked at her and asked, "Who is it?"

Seeing that more people had entered the room, the nurse instructed them to sit for a while on the long wooden bench at the door, waiting for the doctor to finish attending to the first two injured boys before proceeding.

I just inquired and learned a few details. Li Zhixing paced a few steps in the infirmary. First, the main gate of the girls' dormitory is usually closed and only opens during the sports meet; second, during the sports meet, the campus order is relatively chaotic, making it easier for outsiders to enter the school; third, the target of the theft is a senior girl, indicating that the thief knows that girls are generally wealthier than boys, and that senior students are wealthier than those in the first and second years. Considering all these reasons, it can be concluded that the thief is someone who is familiar with the internal situation of Xuan Zhong.

The wounds on her feet have all been properly treated, and she bent down to prepare to put on her shoes again

Her entire monthly expenses come from the scholarship provided by the school, along with the two to three hundred yuan her grandmother occasionally gives her. She is very frugal, but there are some expenses that cannot be avoided. After two years, she has managed to save five hundred yuan, and eight hundred yuan is what she just received from the school's scholarship center two days ago, which will be her living expenses for next month. Li Zhixing lightly tapped his fingers on his leg, remaining silent for a moment. He was not unaware of the reality; he could imagine Tang Mi's situation. One thousand three hundred yuan meant nothing to him, but for the girl beside him, it was already a significant amount.

In a situation where poverty has reached the level of the Tang family, the existence of a bank card is completely meaningless

Tang Mi shook her head: "I won't trouble you anymore"

Her skin is fair and usually has a jade-like luster, but now it has taken on an unhealthy pallor

Tang Mi had already sensed that he seemed to be concerned about her, and she had long since prepared her response

For senior high school students, the selection of athletes is also a matter of "convention." The class teacher, Mr. He, stands on the podium and inquires one by one whether anyone is willing to participate in each event— the male athletes make their choices quickly, as more than thirty boys in the class are the main athletes, while there are only seventeen girls. The issue is that each event must have representatives from every class.

Upon entering the infirmary, Ye Yichao immediately noticed the problem.

Tang Mi, second place

Tang Mi did not like being looked at this way, so she shrank her feet back a little and said softly, "It's nothing, the shoes don't fit well."

Li Zhixing held the phone in his left hand and pressed her hand down with his right hand: "Don't wear it."

It's nothing, this is the money I give you, just keep it. I'm not short of money.

As October approaches its end, the annual school sports meeting is also upon us. In addition to having strict academic requirements, Xuan Zhong also places a high emphasis on the physical fitness of its students, which is why the students in their third year of high school must also participate in the sports meeting

Xu Lu and Teacher He helped her sit on a bench by the side of the field. Teacher He handed her a bottle of mineral water, and she took it and drank a couple of sips, finally regaining her composure. At least ten classmates from the class gathered around her.

Tang Mi shook her head: "It's nothing, I will run well."

I just tried to call you, and I didn't expect you to answer. I thought your phone had been stolen as well

Tang Mi was taken aback, suddenly recalling a detail: "Yes, I remember that when I entered the dormitory, the dormitory supervisor, Teacher Liu, happened to be absent."

Just wait a moment in the infirmary, I will have someone bring a pair of shoes over

Lu Mingyuan comforted, saying: "First, do not think about anything else; regarding the financial matters, we will all help you find a solution."

Tang Mi sat blankly on the stool, lost in thought

Where are your own sneakers

In the science class, there are few girls, and Tang Mi is considered to have excellent athletic qualities among them. According to tradition, the 800 meters, 4x100 meters relay, and high jump are her signature events. However, as they reached the third year of high school, more students were unwilling to participate in the sports meet. She held no significant position in the class but was quite willing to step up when needed. Therefore, whenever there were events that no other girls were willing to participate in, she would raise her hand to sign up. As a result, in addition to her usual events, she also registered for the standing long jump and the 400 meters run.

Tang Mi has exerted herself too much; in an ordinary sports competition, there is absolutely no need to push herself to this extent. However, I fear that she may have already retreated early on her path of progress

The situation in the other dormitories is not much better; throughout the entire dormitory building, there is a chorus of wailing, and Le Chen from the adjacent dormitory has already begun to cry.

Ye Yichao smiled, gently patted her head, and turned to leave the infirmary

The case that occurred in the middle school is relatively straightforward, and the suspicions are quite evident, making it certainly not difficult for the police to solve

She was somewhat anxious, staring at her feet for quite a while

Do not hesitate to contact me if you need anything

The news spread quickly. Fifteen minutes later, the senior high school girls had all returned to the dormitory building. Twenty-five minutes later, a general understanding of the theft situation had been established

Ye Yichao smiled and said, "It seems that having a more primitive phone has its advantages; even thieves disdain to take it."

She raised her head and saw Li Zhixing, who was warming up at the long jump area not far away; he was also in the preparation stage for the finals of the triple jump.

Ding Xiaoxiao lay on the bed, crying out in despair: "Oh my God, losing money is one thing, but my phone! My newly bought phone! It cost 4,000! The photos on my phone, my messages!"

The sports meeting was not delayed for long due to the theft incident, as only a small number of senior high school boarding girls were affected, and there were very few events in the upcoming sports meeting that were impacted.

What?

Tang Mi frowned slightly, realizing that she could not drive away Li Zhixing at all

Why not deposit it into a bank card

He held the half-finished bottle of mineral water in his hand, looking at her with a very determined gaze. He glanced at Teacher He, who calculated for a moment and said with a smile: "Oh, that sounds good. Li Zhixing, you can take Tang Mi back. Call me if you need anything."

There will be a men's 1500-meter race later, and Xu Lu is a cheerleader who will be cheering for the competition. I can go back by myself. Tang Mi paused, "I just ran 800 meters, and there is absolutely no problem."

Li Zhixing, you make a valid point

Tang Mi felt somewhat anxious: "What I mean is, you don't have to see me off."

Is it all cash

Li Zhixing did not ask further, greeted her, and then left the infirmary to make a phone call

Your foot has been quite severely rubbed. Dr. Zhao in the infirmary said after the examination, "There is no major issue since the blister is not broken, but the one that is broken has exposed the flesh... I will disinfect it for you and wrap it up simply."

In the next moment, Tang Mi's eyes widened in shock; the entire dormitory was in disarray, with drawers wide open, wardrobe doors ajar, clothes, pillows, and blankets thrown on the floor, as if a thief had come through

This is very normal

Second place, not bad at all. Tang Mi let out a sigh of relief and suddenly squatted down on the ground. Running during the competition is different from regular physical training; her chest felt like it was on fire, and in fact, her vision had completely blurred, as she focused solely on gasping for breath
