Chapter 888


    "Serena!" Avery panicked. Serena had always run long- distance track with her mom, it was


    impossible for her to faint after three hundred mere meters.


    "I''m fine. You don''t have to worry about me." Serena stood up and pretended that nothing had


    happened.


    "You fell down for no reason. How can you be fine?" Avery frowned. In some aspects, he knew her


    better than her own parents.


    "Avery, I really... what are you doing?" Serena was caught by Avery after just two steps. Avery could


    see there was definitely something wrong with the way she was going.


    "Let me take a look at your feet." Ignoring the looks on everyone else''s faces, Avery directly took off


    Serena''s shoes.


    What he could see was the scarlet blood that stained her white socks. She should have noticed it a


    long time ago, but she still insisted on running.


    "Are you out of your mind?"


    "Avery, I know that I can''t run a marathon in my current state, but at least let me finish one


    kilometer." Serena was still only concerned about the honor of the ss, even by now.


    Her ssmates who were watching from the sideline also started to discuss, "Why did Serena fall


    down?"


    "Humph, same old trick, just trying to be under the limelight, our little princess."


    "Look, Avery is running toward her. Is Avery really in love with her?"


    "How is that possible? She''s obviously pretending again. She''s already done this before. There''s no


    way Avery would fall for that again."


    "But he seems pretty nervous about her. I don''t think she''s faking."


    "Look at Serena''s feet. She''s not pretending. She''s really injured. Her socks have been dyed red."


    Avery was about to carry Serena away when Serena grabbed his sleeve and said, "Avery, let me


    run for one kilometer, okay?"


    "You can''t run even one meter with your foot like this."


    "Avery, if I quit now, I''ll bring shame to our ss and we''ll beughed at."


    "Not like this, you won''t." The only thing Avery was worried about now was Serena''s foot.


    "Please, Avery, please..." stubborn, just like how Tracey used to be. Once she made up her mind,


    she would not change anything.


    Serena was very


    Avery let go of her and said, "What am I supposed to do with you, you little cow?" But the next


    second, he squatted on the ground. "Come on up, I''ll finish this kilometer with you on my back."


    "Avery..."


    "Come on up."


    Serena could only climb onto his back, just like how Avery carried her home many times when they


    were younger. This time, it was him who carried her on his back and ran with her.


    "It seems that Avery likes her very much, and he''s even running with her on his back."


    "From the looks of it, the two of them seem to be a good match."


    One of the people in the crowd snorted and left. Everyone was moved by how Serena kept on


    running, even after being injured.


    After one painstaking kilometer, Avery carried her right to the infirmary. By then, what happened


    between the two of them had already spread out.


    If Avery did not have any special rtionship with her, why would he run a kilometer with her on his


    back? All of the people that were there at the sports meeting were so envious of Serena.


    The doctor was about to clean up her wound for fear that the nail could be rusty, causing a serious


    infection.


    With the wound stained with alcohol, Serena frowned. Avery looked at the crumpled little face and


    said, "Fortunately, I noticed there was something wrong with the way you ran. If you really did keep


    running and got infected, it wouldn''t be this easy."


    "Avery, I knew what I was doing and I still am. It''s okay."


    "It''s okay my a*s! You''re just unting your superiority!" Avery''s heart ached the moment he thought


    about it. "What if I didn''t notice it?" he thought.


    "Avery, can you keep this a secret for me? I don''t want my dad to know about this."


    "Serena, I can indulge you in everything, but this concerns your safety. I will not help you hide it.


    Your parents have the right to know your physical condition."


    "Avery..."

    Serena also felt that it was strange. Who would be the one to hurt her this time?


    "Serena, stay here and rest. I have something to deal with."


    Serena also knew he was probably going to find out the perpetrator so she nodded and said,


    "Alright."


    It was not difficult to find out who was it. The shoes were allocated in a unified manner. No one had


    the shoes before the match.


    So whoever did this must have done it in the locker room.


    There was no camera in the locker room, but there was one in the corridor, he could at least narrow


    the list down to a few by checking the surveince.


    And the perpetrator definitely did it when there were very few people in the locker room. He only


    had to run through the list one by one.


    He wanted to make the person who hurt Serena pay a hundred times the price. How could he


    tolerate his precious girl being hurt by someone?


    As soon as Avery went out, a bunch of people came to "visit" Serena. What they really came for is


    the gossip.


    "Serena, are you feeling better?"


    "Serena, are you all right?"


    "Serena, do you know that Avery? He seems to be very nice to you. Are you two a thing?"


    Serena looked at the gossiping girls around her. These girls rarely talked to her unless there was


    some "information" they wanted about her.


    After what Avery did at the track, the rtionship between the two of them needed no more


    rification.


    "Forget it. Since they already know, or they think they know, there''s no point in hiding anymore. I


    might as well live the way I want to."


    "Otherwise, they might think I''m nothing but a soft sack that they could punch at and bully any time


    they want to."


    Serena said directly, "Yes, Avery is my boyfriend."


    If Avery had been here, he would have died of joy. Atst, Serena admitted their rtionship.


    Everyone saw Serena''s calm expression. She was neither arrogant nor shy. It seemed that she was


    only stating a simple fact.


    "You, you''re telling the truth?" The girls surrounding her felt incredible by her frankness.


    The girls had mixed feelings, while the boys were disappointed. After all, none of them had what it


    took to go up against Avery.


    Arnav, who was at the high jumppetition, rushed over as soon as he heard that something had


    happened to Serena. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard the excruciating news.


    "Serena, are you really with Avery?" He looked at


    Serena in disbelief.


    What he could not believe was not that they were already an item but a girl as aloof as Serena


    ended up with a


    seemingly


    wealthy yboy like


    Avery, who, at least the way he saw it, was nothing too different from himself.


    Serena actually fell in love with Avery, which meant that he had no chance anymore. Serena was


    the first girl he liked.
