As Jiang Ning was the first to cross the finish line, accompanied by a burst of astonishing cheers, the crowd surged in like a tide, as if they were about to swallow Jiang Ning whole.
Cameras flashed, microphones were thrust forward, and a barrage of questions erupted.
In the midst of this chaos, Jiang Ning's Divine Sense caught sight of a striking figure at the back of the crowd.
Bai Yuxia, having changed out of her volunteer outfit, wore a white dress, its hem gently fluttering with her steps like a white lotus.
Years of dance practice had given her a slender and graceful figure, coupled with an air of Confidence from her good upbringing. At this moment, she held a bouquet of flowers, smiling softly with dimples at the corners of her mouth, like an ancient maiden walking out of a painting.
Jiang Ning stood amidst the crowd and met Bai Yuxia's gaze.
