Chapter 117: His and Her Silhouette

Time flashed by, and the first day of the sports meet came to an end, quickly drawing close to the moment when the sun would set behind the mountains.

The sunlight was no longer as intense as it had been during the day; its gentle rays now slanted across the concrete steps, casting long shadows on the track.

Looking down from the stands, I saw people on the track gathering up the sports equipment. Scattered across the track, meadow, and playground, students in their school uniforms walked in dense crowds like ants on the move.

People came from all directions, converging into a crowded stream at the exit and slowly leaving the stadium.

As the sky gradually darkened and the temperature dropped, the wind that blew in from the open spaces at sunset was unexpectedly chilly.

Each class was busy cleaning up the trash on the concrete steps, stuffing used mineral water bottles, paper, and other waste into full garbage bags to be taken to the nearby waste station.
