"Isn't the sun hot?"
He bounded down the steps, taking two at a time, his shadow falling over the girl.
The rustle of his school uniform pants startled the focused girl. When Li Zhi looked up, she saw Shen Yuan's familiar face.
Li Zhi shook her head. "I put on sunscreen."
"That's good, then."
Shen Yuan tilted his head, surveying the empty rows of seats. He gripped the railing and gestured with his chin toward the sprinting events bustling with energy on the track. "Where should I sit?"
Li Zhi's fingertips kept tapping on her phone screen. Her voice, mingled with the cheers from the squad on the other side of the stands, drifted over. "Wherever you want. There are plenty of empty spots."
Shen Yuan chuckled. "Well then, I might just go backstage to find Ah Jie and the others."
He deliberately took two slow steps back, feigning a move toward the entryway.
Li Zhi lifted her eyelids to glance at him. "Go on, then. I'll stay here and watch for a bit."
