Silver medal!!

It was a silver medal!

Even though many witnessed this achievement with their own eyes, they couldn't believe it. Then, after a brief moment of doubt, the joy broke through their chests. This joy quickly spread throughout their bodies, making everyone tremble involuntarily.

At some unknown moment, tears welled up in their eyes. They flowed down their cheeks uncontrollably, and then, with smiles on their faces, they laughed with happiness, waving their hands excitedly toward the finish line of the 400-meter relay.

This atmosphere of joy infected everyone in the Chinese athletes' stands. Qiu Wen, Zhou Xu, Zhang Chang, and a few others were unable to remain seated. After seeing Li Junhao cross the finish line, they left their seats and practically leaped to the fence closest to the track. They were on the verge of jumping over it to join Li Junhao and the others on the field, celebrating wildly together.

When Li Junhao was the first to cross the finish line, the Bahraini runner who had thought he had a slight advantage was left stunned. He watched as Li Junhao crossed the finish line just ahead of him, a situation that left him dumbfounded and unable to move for a long time.

After crossing the finish line, Li Junhao collapsed to the ground. His heart was still racing rapidly. Using the last of his strength, he rolled over onto his back, lying flat on the track, breathing heavily. His mind went blank as he gazed at the illuminated stadium sky.

Damn it, Su Bai's scheme worked again.

However, in the end, it was because of Li Junhao's excellence that Su Bai's outrageous boasts became reality!

Perhaps due to Su Bai's overcorrection, Li Junhao had transformed from a formerly despondent athlete to a world-class, top-tier one. If Su Bai knew what Li Junhao was thinking, who knows how he would have felt.

While Li Junhao lay on the ground lost in thought, Zhang Ziyi, Lin Chuan, and Guo Dun rushed into the field in excitement. They practically pounced on Li Junhao, and then the three of them joyfully ruffled his hair, their hands making a chaotic mess of it.

Li Junhao, who had been lying down and gasping for air, endured this crazy barrage of affection from his teammates. All three of them were strong athletes, and Li Junhao couldn't push them off with both hands. He couldn't resist his teammates messing up his hair.

"Hey... you guys... hey!!! Stop it!!!"

As Zhang Ziyi, Lin Chuan, and Guo Dun played with his hair, they burst into laughter. Amidst the laughter was an endless sense of satisfaction and relief.

A silver medal in the 4x400m relay – they did it!

This goal, which they once didn't dare to dream of, was now firmly in their hands.

This excitement left them unsure how to express themselves. This victory wasn't easy to achieve – from Zhang Ziyi's first leg where he expended all his energy, to Lin Chuan's second leg where he gritted his teeth to maintain their lead, to the strategic error from Guo Dun in the third leg which almost led to an irreparable mistake. Fortunately, their anchor runner held on!

From the previous day's preliminaries to today's finals, Li Junhao had held up under the continuous expectations placed on him in both relay races. Just as Su Bai had said, "As long as Li Junhao is the last leg, there won't be a problem!"

This kid had completely pulled himself out of his past despair, unafraid of strong opponents. Even in the face of countless challenges, he held his ground and ultimately helped the team achieve a comeback!
