Stealing Spree

Chapter 2540 Singing while Running

My voice wasn't exactly idol-worthy. I knew that but I projected it loud enough to carry across the gym, hitting the opening notes of Steal Your Heart with as much confidence as I could muster.

The melody of the song was supposed to be sappy, one that could make someone remember bittersweet memories from their past. However, the way I sang it while running failed to hold that up. It became more upbeat, like a piece of pop music.

If Yue were here, she'd surely run and join me in singing it in a tune. Yeah... She wouldn't go around scolding me for ruining her song, she'd be ecstatic to hear me sing it even though I already sang it to her a few times before.

Anyway, I kept up with my pace as I let the memorized lyrics flow naturally.

To my surprise, the acoustics of the gymnasium made my voice sound fuller. It was almost as if I was performing on a stage.

The students' reactions were immediate.

Some burst out laughing, others clapped along, and noticeably, my girls and those who had me in their good books started cheering. Saki was swaying to the beat, while Satsuki had her arms crossed, her lips curved up into a smirk as though she was holding back a grin. Nami was shaking her head but the way her eyes followed me told me she was enjoying this more than she'd admit.

"I'll steal your heart, no need to fight..."

I hit the chorus, picking up my pace slightly as I once again subverted what was supposed to be a high note, turning it around to the extreme low my voice was practically vibrating.

Running and singing at the same time wasn't easy. If I wasn't someone who built up stamina through daily exercises, I'd probably be out of breath already. Besides, I also leaned into this absurd punishment, the hilarity of it fueling me.
