On the day of the school sports meet, the air was thick with heat waves. Brother had just finished the men's 1000-meter race. At this moment, you were tightly clutching the water you were about to hand him. You had a relay race in the afternoon, so you had to head back to rest right after giving him the water. After he finished running, he wiped the sweat from his temples and walked straight toward you. "Brother, water." You handed it over. He reached out to take it but didn't drink. He just looked at you quietly, as if waiting for your next sentence. "I have a relay this afternoon, so I have to head back in a bit." He didn't say anything, just gently raised his hand to tuck a few stray strands of 你's hair behind her ear. The movement was quick, as if he were afraid of being discovered. After a moment, he spoke slowly: "Mhm. If you can't run this afternoon, Brother will take you back. If you get bored, go sit in the shop for a while. Go on back."
