Chapter 114: High-End Hunter Fang Zhou

The female guests kept their plans secret.

They wanted to surprise Fang Zhou, leaving a deep impression.

Coincidentally, everyone had the same idea.

Time in the mountains passed quickly. By the third day, the guests had mostly adapted.

Even Qiao Sisi, whom Fang Zhou found the most delicate and difficult, only complained on the first day about the inconvenience of bathing and the abundance of insects.

Other than that, there were few complaints.

For example, now, everyone was enthusiastically participating in a competition on the playground.

Tang Wan proposed a fun sports meet after Principal He mentioned it was a good time for the summer sports meet.

The usually rule-abiding lawyer wanted to break the norm and find some unique joy.

Most agreed, so the fun sports meet began.

Fang Zhou acted as the judge for the five-legged race.

Holding a whistle as the signal, he was assisted by Qin Yun, who recorded scores and kept time.

“Get ready!”

Fang Zhou, at the east end of the playground, signaled the start. Students, five at a time, raced to cross the finish line as quickly as possible.

The children, new to this game, were visibly excited.

“Teacher, we’re ready!”

Fang Zhou blew the whistle, and they were off.

“Go, go, go!”

Cheering kids watched, their excitement and joy almost tangible.

Occasionally, someone fell, causing bursts of laughter.

Even the participants laughed, helping each other up and continuing.

For them, the fun outweighed the results.

“Three minutes, 25 seconds, 19.”

Qin Yun noted the time, writing it down swiftly. She glanced at Fang Zhou, who was seriously tying legs for the next team, more dedicated than a real judge.

He occasionally asked students if the ties were too tight or if their legs hurt.

Sunlight bathed him, making him look like a radiant priest, attracting worship from his followers.

Qin Yun smiled, thinking: If only he were this gentle when talking to me.

Fang Zhou had a unique charm, mesmerizing others with his gentle care.

Perhaps he saw her, his ex-girlfriend, as highly dangerous, always appearing confident.

But Fang Zhou didn’t realize he was the master of manipulating hearts.

Once someone tasted his sweetness, no other man’s small tokens could compare.

Fang Zhou was like a hunter with a shotgun, wandering the misty forest, thinking he was cautiously guarding against animals, unaware that many creatures willingly ran into his line of fire.

Living or dying, as long as they were noticed by the hunter, they’d be content.

Besides the five-legged race, there were other activities like fun jump rope, fancy hula hooping, ball bouncing, and ring toss.

Every event had a teacher in charge, organizing the children to participate orderly and enjoy the process.

Sun Haotian, holding a whistle, played Eagle Catches Chicks with younger kids during his free time.

Qi Le and Dong Donghui managed the ring toss, one distributing prizes, the other retrieving rings, earning the nickname “stall duo” from livestream viewers.

Liu Hao and Tang Wan counted jumps for the jump rope contest, preparing to determine the top three.

Qiao Sisi, with a Polaroid camera, captured interesting moments, printing and giving them to the students.

The children, rarely the main focus in photos, were overjoyed, chasing Qiao Sisi, calling her “pretty teacher.”

Chu Xinran and Han Xi had tasks too, giving and taking numbers for the participants.

Zhang Zhiyin, known for her beautiful handwriting, was at the award podium, writing and handing out certificates.

Throughout the fun sports meet, many couldn’t stop smiling, spreading joy across the campus.

The special volunteers brought vitality to the old Hope Primary School.

Livestream viewers marveled, “Childhood is a time we can’t return to. It disappears in a blink, leaving us to watch others’ happy memories.”

“A happy childhood can heal a lifetime. Many kids here seem livelier since the guests arrived. The difference between the first and third days is huge.”

“Yes, sometimes I prefer this kind of healing content over the usual romance plots.”

Around 4 PM, most events concluded, leaving only the tug-of-war.

A thick rope lay in the playground center, with fifth graders from two classes on either side.

Principal He, the main judge, stood in the middle, ready to blow the whistle.

For more involvement, the guests joined too.

Three men and two women were in one class, two men and four women in the other.

Fang Zhou and Sun Haotian, the heavyweights, anchored the ends.

“Three, two, one, start!”

At Principal He’s command, the fierce tug-of-war began.

“Go, go, go!”

Qiao Sisi’s pink hair blew into Fang Zhou’s face as she stood in front of him, blinding him. He closed his eyes and pulled blindly.

He felt he was using all his strength, but the rope still slipped from his hands.

“We’re losing! Come on! The losing class has to clean the playground!”

Principal He said with a kind smile.

Hearing this, Class One students found new strength.

No way! The playground is huge!

Fang Zhou leaned back, and everyone pulled hard!

The other side faltered, and the red rope marker quickly moved towards them.

Some in Class Two fell over.

“Ouch!”

A soft, sticky voice stood out.

Fang Zhou, about to celebrate, quickly looked over. Chu Xinran had fallen, her delicate palm scraped by rough stones, bleeding.

“Xinran!”
