“Friendship first competition comes second.” She Iried to Indoctrinate them. “It’s fine if you don’t get
first place.”
Both males turned to look back at her with disapproving looks.
“Mommy, don’t you dare hold us back!” Aster “wamed” her.
Larissa was a bit angry, “Fine, I won’L” She turned to leave. “Have fun on your own, you two! I’ll be
going now!”
“Hey-” Kevan reached out quickly to stop her.
Larissa was unable to pull the leg she put out in time, and her body fell back from the momentum right
into Kevan’s broad chest. Kevan wore a thin sports t–shirt, so his protruding pecs were rather obvious.

before she hurriedly straightened up and put some distance between herself and Kevan.
A lew mothers nearby let out cries of amazement. Those who were familiar with Larissa came over to
tease her. “That scene earlier was totally from a ty show!”
Larissa’s blush deepened.
The first station Aster chose was the sack race. One stepped into the sack, holding on to the top of it
before hopping forward as fast as one could. Then, one would tum back at the turning point

The whole family had to participate in this activity, and it utilized a relay mode, comparing the time it
took for participants to return to the starting point. The shorter the time, the higher the points gained.
Kevan had already decided on the order of their placement, Aster was the first hopper, Larissa the
second, while he was the last hopper- where it would be convenient for him to adjust his speed based
on the first two hoppers‘ condition.
The other families basically had a similar sequencing too.
The kids competing with them in the same group were practically all older kids. Aster did not have an
advantage over them, but his competitive spint was strong. When they started, he was already the

She was about to reach the finishing point in third place. The goal was right there, but she was unable

The screams of the people nearby were shrill and loud. Larissa closed her eyes in hopeless ear when a
pair of strong and steady arms caught her. The pain she anticipated did not come, and she was held
suspended several inches off the ground.
“Woah!” A wave of exclamations diew
attention of others as they came over to see what was going on.
