Chapter 97: A Slap in the Face
Fletcher accelerated, realizing he and Serena weren’t synchronized.Their bike weaved erratically- ‘Serena! Stop pedaling! Let go of the pedals!” Fletcher yelled.She was hindering him. “Aaargh!My clothes! Serena couldn’t hear him.Alpacas were tugging at her clothes and hair. “Waaah!! Dad! Pedal faster!” Doudou wailed Fletcher tried to speed up, but Serena kept throwing them off course. He watched Willow and Lily disappear.
4t the campsite, several families had already finished.Lu Fang arrived, his breathing even. We’re here!‘
He turned to look at Willow and Lily, but froze, a bead of sweat trickling down his forehead.
Willow, relieved, relaxed her grip on the bucket.She turned to check on Lily, and they both stared in shock
Lily saw Lu Fang stop and looked around. Alpacas are catching up! Mommy! Protect the radishes! Uncle Lu! Pedal!*
Willow said, “Lily, let go of those alpacas.”
Lily realized she had two alpacas trapped under her arms. They were exhausted, their tongues hanging out, eyes rolling.
Lily released them; they collapsed. Lily patted her chest, laughing, “Haha! I scared myself!”
Lu Fang thought, “That’s why I kept seeing two alpacas following us…
Willow gave the bucket to the teacher She’d protected all the vegetables. The teacher put Lily’s nameplate on the board.
“Ms. James, congratulations! You got 30 points and are currently in first place.” Qingru Fu, seeing Lily and Pan’er Fu tied, protested. There should only be one winner! We arrived earlier; we’re first!”
The teacher stammered, “Ms. Fu, your family started half an hour earlier.Both you and Ms. James protected the vegetables, but Ms. James’s family was faster.”
Qingru raised her voice.“We arrived first!My husband got a perfect score, but they came later!How can they tie with us?!”
“But… the teacher struggled.
Lily, seeing Qingru’s protest, had an idea.She rushed back, dragging two alpacas.
“Teacher! I caught two alpaca thieves!Extra points?”
The teacher, seeing the alpacas, was speechless, but this resolved Qingru’s complaints.
“Five points per alpaca!” the teacher said, holding up five fingers.
Qingru mumbled, “You should have said catching alpacas got extra points! They’d avoided the alpacas.
The teacher moved Pan’er’s nameplate to second place.Lily’s score was upda H
Lily James:40 points.
Paner Fu:30 points.

Another teacher announced Doudou’s score:“Doudou: zero points.”
Menu
Doudou, once so proud, was now a mess.His LV hat was gone, his collar askew, his clothes drenched in alpaca spit.
Serena was equally disheveled.Her hair was a mess, her jacket unzipped.She protested, “Zero points? Did
miscalculate?!”
you
The teacher said, “Your bucket was gone when you arrived. That’s minus three points. Your current score is -3.”
The teacher placed Doudou’s nameplate last.Qingru, seeing this, didn’t care about Lily’s extra
ints anymore.
She said, “Fletcher, you’ve never been last! This is a new experience!”
Fletcher’s face was dark.He saw Willow, Lily, and Lu Fang celebrating their victory.Doudou’s score was a slap in his face.
Other parents whispered, “Doudou was always first.Now he’s last?”
“And his sister is first! Their academic performance is also worlds apart.I heard he’s always at the bottom of his class.”
Serena huffed, “Ignoring last place, we’re still first! Isn’t being last impressively skilled?” Doudou stared at her.He pouted, his eyes welling up.He saw Lily and Willow giving water to thẻ alpacas. Other children surrounded them.
“Hey!” he called to his friends, but they ignored him.Dejection washed over him.Tears welled in his eyes.
