Psst! We're moving!
Handsome, Zhang Lurang, Rang Rang, Male God.
——From Su Zaizai’s Little Fairy Diary
In the afternoon was the final round of the Grade 1 boys’ 100-meter race.
Both Zhang Lurang and Wang Nan, a boy from Class 9, had made it to the finals.
As soon as she heard the announcement for registration, Su Zaizai immediately dashed toward the track.
The area around the track was already crowded with people.
When she arrived, Su Zaizai saw many familiar faces and froze momentarily.
They were all classmates.
…She had wanted to cheer for Handsome. What should she do now?
Xiaoxiao spotted her and greeted her with a smile: “Zaizai! Over here!”
Su Zaizai forced a smile: “Coming.”
“Where’s Jiang Jia?”
“She went to watch Guan Han’s high jump competition,” Su Zaizai replied.
Xiaoyu noticed the DSLR in her hands and laughed: “Hey, Zaizai, take a few more photos of Nan Shen later—he said he wants to show them to his parents.”
Wang Nan was the math representative, scoring full marks on every math exam. The class had given him the nickname “Nan Shen” (Southern God).
Su Zaizai thought for a moment.
She nodded: “Sure.”
After all, she had already taken quite a few photos that morning.
“It’s about to start!” someone in the crowd shouted.
When the competitors took their starting positions, Su Zaizai snapped a photo with her camera, capturing both Zhang Lurang and Wang Nan in the frame.
After the gunshot.
Surrounded by cheers and screams, Su Zaizai involuntarily lowered her DSLR and gazed at Zhang Lurang’s figure.
Xiaoxiao and Xiaoyu, along with others from the class, were enthusiastically shouting: “Nan Shen! Go for it!”
Not far away, cheers for Zhang Lurang could also be heard.
Taking a deep breath, Su Zaizai began shouting loudly too: “Male God! You can do it!”
Handsome, you have to understand me! I’m cheering for you!
Her face turned red from shouting so hard.
Then, she saw Wang Nan cross the finish line just ahead of Zhang Lurang.
Su Zaizai: “….”
The class erupted in cheers.
Xiaoxiao happily grabbed her elbow and bounced a few times.
Su Zaizai forced another smile and gave a few half-hearted cheers.
Xiaoyu laughed for a while: “Hahaha, Zaizai, you shouted so enthusiastically! Anyone would think you’re Nan Shen’s girlfriend.”
“…”
She thought she had been pretty quiet.
The group walked over to give Wang Nan some water.
Wang Nan guzzled an entire bottle of water and grinned broadly: “Su Zaizai, your voice is loud enough—I could hear it even through the sea of people.”
Su Zaizai: “….”
“So, are you secretly in love with me?” Wang Nan laughed heartily.
Instinctively, Su Zaizai glanced toward Zhang Lurang, only to meet his gaze directly.
She froze.
A second later, Zhang Lurang looked away.
He wouldn’t think she was calling Wang Nan “Male God,” would he…
No, no misunderstandings, Handsome!

During the medal ceremony.
After much deliberation, Su Zaizai finally walked over with her camera to take photos of them.
As soon as he saw her, Wang Nan immediately said: “Su Zaizai, come here and take a few more pictures of me.”
Su Zaizai: “…Oh.”
Wang Nan: “Let me change my pose.”
Su Zaizai: “Mhm.”
Wang Nan: “How’s this? Do I look cool?”
Su Zaizai: “….”
After snapping several shots in quick succession, Su Zaizai completely ignored his chatter and shifted the camera lens toward Zhang Lurang.
Zhang Lurang didn’t even glance at her. After stepping down from the podium, he walked straight toward Class 1’s tent.
The group of girls who had been taking photos of him earlier immediately followed, gathering around him.
Su Zaizai grew so anxious she started scratching her head and ears.
This morning, she had teased him.
And last night, she told him she was too young to think about romance—now he probably thought she had feelings for another boy.
Her reputation points had instantly plummeted into the negatives!
No, she had to explain.
She refused to accept being sentenced to death just like that.
But going directly to him now seemed…
Wait!
Today, he had returned her water bottle in front of his classmates, damaging her reputation…
Then shouldn’t she be able to approach him now too?
Su Zaizai shamelessly reasoned with herself.
With this thought in mind, she felt a bit more confident.
Still, her voice came out weak when she called out: “Zhang Lurang.”
Zhang Lurang paused mid-step and slowly turned his head.
Fresh from exercising, beads of sweat dripped continuously from his temples.
His white shirt was half-soaked with sweat, faintly revealing the tantalizing curves of his abs beneath. His chest was firm, rising and falling with each breath.
Blood rushed to Su Zaizai’s face, turning it beet red in an instant.
…He was so tempting.
It was too much—she felt like her nose might start bleeding.
Su Zaizai took a deep breath, repeatedly telling herself to calm down.
“Can you come over here for a moment?”
Zhang Lurang’s lips twitched slightly as he gave a low scoff: “No.”
Used to rejection, Su Zaizai persisted with a thick-skinned smile: “You don’t have to answer so quickly—I have all the time in the world to wait for you.”
Without another word, he turned and continued walking.
Su Zaizai hurried after him.
There were several girls standing beside him, so she couldn’t bring herself to explain.
Instead, she jogged ahead of him and began walking backward.
Behind her was a crowded sea of people, with students running and playing around.
Zhang Lurang immediately stopped in his tracks.
Seeing him stop, Su Zaizai instinctively halted as well.
After some hesitation, she carefully explained: “Um… do you know? The guy who came in first is named Wang Nan.”
So even if she called out “Nan Shen,” the “nan” she meant was “Wang Nan’s nan”!
Handsome, you have to understand!
Besides, she had been cheering for him all along!
Zhang Lurang lowered his gaze at her and gave a soft “Oh.”
Clearly, he still didn’t get it…
She wanted so badly to just confess everything outright.
Su Zaizai was utterly frustrated.
With his reaction, she didn’t know what else to say.
She just wanted to stall for time, hoping the girls beside him would leave on their own.
Looking at the silver medal hanging around his neck, she blurted out nonsensically: “Hey, wearing that silver medal makes you look like you’re wearing a red scarf.”
Zhang Lurang: “….”
“But it actually looks pretty good,” Su Zaizai continued rambling.
However, the girls showed no reaction, patiently waiting by his side.
…Fine.
She’d try again next time.
Lowering her eyes, Su Zaizai felt a wave of dejection.
Just as she was about to walk away, Zhang Lurang suddenly raised his hand.
He remained silent, as if pondering something.
Then, without a word, he pulled the silver medal off his neck and casually slipped it over Su Zaizai’s head.
Seeing her stunned expression, he pressed his lips together and said: “If you want it, it’s yours.”
After a brief pause, he added firmly: “Stop following me.”
