Chapter 487 Running 800 Meters With Her


    Soon after that, the race began.


    The 800-meter race was a long-distance running event, and Grace stayed in the top three the


    moment the gun was fired.


    When they reached the second round, her strength began faltering, and her speed gradually


    slowed.


    At that moment, Xander suddenly popped up from nowhere and began running with her outside the


    track.


    "Gracie, adjust your breathing and maintain your rhythm. Inhale with every three steps and exhale


    with three steps …"


    His words echoed in Grace''s ears, and she began to instinctively adjust her movements and


    rhythm. She began to speed up slowly.


    In the final sprint, Grace crossed the finish line in third ce.


    "Yay! I can''t … I''m too tired." She panted. "Let me rest for a while."


    "I want to lie down." As she spoke, Grace''s legs buckled, and she was about to copse on the


    track.


    But in the next second, Xander grabbed her arm.


    "You just finished running, and you can''t sit down straight away. I''ll help you walk slowly. Sit down


    and rest when you''ve adjusted."


    "No, I''m too tired."


    "It''ll be fine. Let''s walk slower."


    Xander held her arm and walked slowly, adjusting his own breathing as well. At that moment, Victor


    and Caleb ran over and asked in concern, "Gracie, are you okay?"


    When Grace saw Caleb, her energy was restored. "Caleb, I''m in third ce! Don''t forget our bet."


    Caleb smiled knowingly and answered her readily, "Not bad! Not only did you finish running, you


    even won a prize! Fine, I''ll take care of all the snacks you buy this year."


    "Deal! I also want to eat lots and lots of delicious food!" Grace was delighted.


    "No problem."


    Grace turned to look at Xander. "Xander, what do you want to eat? You don''t have to be polite with


    Caleb. If you hadn''t run thest round with me, I definitely wouldn''t have been able tost until the


    end."

    "Are you okay now?" Xander asked in concern.


    "Yes, I''m fine!" she said.


    "That''s good, then."


    …


    Later, Xander, Caleb, and Victor passed their exams sessfully and started high school.


    Grace also went into her second year of junior high, but physics became the bane of her life. She


    could not muster up any interest in it at all.


    "Victor, physics is so hard." She pulled a face.


    "I really don''t want to study this. Can''t we just not study physics?" Grace whined.


    Victorforted her. "It''s okay. You just have to choose the arts stream in high school. Then, you


    won''t have to study physics anymore."


    Grace''s eyes lit up. "Great! Then, I''ll take the arts option and never touch physics again."


    Yet her spirits immediately dropped again.


    "But there are still two more years before high school! What am I going to do for the next two


    years?"


    Victor shrugged, indicating that he had no solution for this. Then, he looked away and saw Xander


    coming toward them.


    "Why don''t you ask Xander? He''s pretty good at physics. Maybe he can help you."


    Grace looked up at Xander and said pitifully, "Xander, save me!"


    Xander was confused and asked, "What?"


    Victor hurriedly cut in to exin, "Gracie hates physics. You''re good at physics, so why don''t you


    give her some tips so that she can get through the next two years? Then, she just has to choose the


    arts stream when she gets to high school."


    Grace sighed deeply again. "Why does a subject like physics exist?"


    Xander was speechless.
