178 Chi Yue VS Lin Pan_3

The finish line was near, and Lin Pan was still in the lead, but she couldn't pick up speed, while Chi Yue, two meters behind her, suddenly accelerated, sprinting ahead of Lin Pan to cross the finish line first.

"Beautiful!" Qiao Dongyang clenched his fist and waved it as he stood up from his chair, leading the applause.

The staff around him paused for a moment, then followed suit and clapped their hands.

The sound of applause throbbed throughout the venue.

Those who loved a good story, however, started gossiping in private.

Just which one does Mr. Qiao prefer?

He had previously changed the competition schedule for Lin Pan's sake, and now he's openly applauding and cheering for Chi Yue's victory!

The masses, unable to taste the real melon, found themselves stuffed with a mouthful of melon seeds instead.

...

Chi Yue leaned on her knees, gasping for breath, and slowly turned her head.
