Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Competition

"Mengmeng wants the three big bears!!"

Following her finger, he saw that there were indeed all sorts of prize boxes in the middle of the field. Placed on top of all the boxes were two teddy bears over two meters tall and one smaller bear.

It was obvious they were meant to be a family of three.

Jiang Fan felt a sudden pang in his heart.

He held her and gave her a kiss. "Okay, then Mommy and Daddy will work hard, and we’ll bring them home, how about that?!"

"Okay!!!"

"Come on, Mommy, Daddy, let’s go see if there are any good competitions!!"

Mengmeng pulled their hands and charged forward, looking exceptionally happy.

Jiang Fan and Yin Ruxue exchanged a glance, a smile appearing on both their faces.

Especially Yin Ruxue!

The shadow of her former ice queen persona was nowhere to be seen.

It had to be said, the school had put a lot of effort into organizing this parent-child activity day.

All sorts of competitions and activities were in full swing.

There were athletic events to test the parents, fun games that required parent-child coordination, competitions between the children, and even various brain teasers.

"How about we compete, too?"

"Nothing else, just see who can get more points."

At that moment, Yin Ruxue seemed to have shed all her burdens, leaving only the role of a mother.

It was rare, and in fact the first time, she had ever made such a request.

Of course, Jiang Fan wouldn’t refuse.

"Alright, alright. Just don’t come crying to me later."

He couldn’t help but grin.

He had briefly scanned the events earlier. With his physical fitness, he could absolutely dominate the so-called parents in many of them.

For example, the 400-meter relay, the 800-meter obstacle course scavenger hunt, sound localization, or the octopus game.

"We’ll see about that."

"How about this? Let’s add some stakes. Whoever loses has to agree to one condition from the winner. What do you say?"

Jiang Fan looked her up and down, his words filled with innuendo.

But Yin Ruxue just rolled her eyes at him.

"Yay! Mommy and Daddy, you compete! Mengmeng will be the referee!"

Mengmeng jumped for joy.

"I now declare the competition... started!"

With Mengmeng’s shout, Yin Ruxue and Jiang Fan walked off in different directions.

"Oh, it’s Mengmeng’s dad! Would you like to join our event?"

"It’s an 800-meter scavenger hunt. You need to run 800 meters and find the item you draw. First to do so wins."

A teacher came over to greet him. As the school’s star parent, every teacher had some impression of Jiang Fan.

"I’ll give it a try. How are the points calculated?"

"First place gets 100 points, second gets 80, third gets 60, fourth gets 50, and fifth gets 40."

"Okay."

After understanding the rules, Jiang Fan nodded and agreed to participate.

Then, a designated teacher brought over a box for him to draw from.

Inside were ping-pong balls, and written on them were the items to be found.

He drew one out and saw it was a red Bluetooth earbud.

’Jeez, a tiny red Bluetooth earbud on a red running track. This really is going to be hard to find.’

Especially since there were many other items scattered on the track as well.

"You have five minutes to prepare. After five minutes, we’ll begin immediately!"

Jiang Fan stood at the starting line, his eyes scanning the items on the track.

With his eyesight, he could scan the entire field in detail.

And sure enough, he spotted the small gadget at a location in the far distance.

And while the other parents were all gearing up, none of them had his advantage of being able to find the item’s location ahead of time.

"3, 2, 1, go!"

As the starting pistol fired, Jiang Fan shot forward.

His sprint immediately drew laughter from many people.

"That young man is fast."

"But this is a scavenger hunt. Finding a small item on this field is very difficult."

"What’s the use of being fast? We’ll just take our time and look carefully."

"Don’t worry about him. He’s probably just here for the participation."

The group of men chatted and laughed as they ran and searched.

Even the teachers didn’t think much of Jiang Fan’s chances.

But Jiang Fan paid them no mind, ran straight to the earbud, picked it up, and then sprinted to the finish line.

"1 minute and 35 seconds flat????"

"Holy crap, he broke the record!! Is that a world record??"

The P.E. teacher holding the stopwatch was dumbfounded.

"You’ve got to be kidding. Is your stopwatch broken?"

A teacher beside him clearly didn’t believe it.

What kind of person breaks a world record? They have to be elite athletes from various countries.

Only after long-term, high-intensity training, combined with natural talent, would someone have a chance to break a record.

But now...

"Broken my ass! This is a brand new stopwatch!!!"

"Hey, you’re Mengmeng’s dad, right? Did you find your item?"

"No, but seriously, man, how can you run that fast??"

The P.E. teacher stared at Jiang Fan as if he were looking at a monster.

"Was that fast? I thought it was just average."

"Here’s the item."

Jiang Fan shrugged and held out the red Bluetooth earbud.

After the judge’s verification, Jiang Fan was indeed in first place.

The undisputed number one.

This left the men who were a lap and a half behind him completely stunned.

’Dude, we just started and... you’re already finished?’

’And not just finished, you broke a record?’

Spurred on by this, the other parents put their all into it and started running like mad.

Losing wasn’t shameful, but being left so far in the dust was utterly humiliating.

"Um, Mengmeng’s dad, could you run it again? Are you interested in joining the national team and competing on the world stage someday?"

"You could bring glory to our country!"

The P.E. teacher grabbed Jiang Fan’s hand.

"Forget it. Your stopwatch must be broken. I didn’t run that fast, and I have no desire to compete in world championships."

Jiang Fan chuckled and pulled his hand back.

Then he set his sights on the next event.

Meanwhile, although things on Yin Ruxue’s side weren’t as shocking as Jiang Fan’s, she had also gathered a large crowd.

"Another simple ’chickens and rabbits in a cage’ problem. Tell me..."

"Seventeen chickens, twenty-eight rabbits..."

The host had barely finished asking the question when Yin Ruxue called out the answer.

This was already the ninth question she had answered correctly in a row.

If she answered all ten questions correctly, she would score a grand slam of 100 points, plus a bonus of 20 points.

"We have an expert here! Alright, let’s try a harder one. Tell me..."

The host had just finished reading the question when Yin Ruxue immediately gave the answer.

The few people competing on stage with her were dumbfounded.

’So we’ve been working our butts off all this time and haven’t gotten a single point...’
