October 15th.

The eyes of track and field enthusiasts all over China are attracted by the main gymnasium of the Olympic Sports Center, located in Hexi New Town, Jianye District, Nanjing, where two giant red arches spanning nearly 400 meters above the saddle-shaped stadium are particularly bright under the illumination.

At around 8 p.m. Beijing time, the stadium, which can accommodate 60,000 people, was gradually filled with spectators entering one after another.

In the crowd that entered, Zhou Ran was almost a walking hemp pole, half leaning on Shen Tianming's body, his face was pale after staying up all night, and the black circles under his eyes were almost drooping to the corners of his mouth, as if he had just been thrown out of a coffin by a fresh zombie. I saw that this zombie comrade stretched out a finger and poked Zong Huai in front of him.

"I said, young master, what kind of nerve are you smoking, don't go to see the aurora in Lapland, and come here to see the National Games? I said I haven't seen you have this hobby before, what's the matter, you went to Hujiang for a year and changed sex?"

Zong Hua didn't have time to take care of Zhou Ran, after finding a seat, all his attention was on the competition venue, his eyes patrolled the whole field, and finally stopped at the 100-meter starting line.

Seeing that he couldn't get a response from Zong Dashao, Zhou Ran swayed back and forth desperately, and all kinds of broken copper and iron hanging on his body kept rattling. He was wearing a torn T-shirt that he didn't know what he had drawn, and with the smell of smoke that had accumulated all night, it rushed straight to his nose, Shen Tianming turned his head in disgust, stretched out his left hand and pushed him back to his seat.

"Sit down, don't you see the athletes coming? ”

The stadium was filled with spectators, and when the athletes came out, the volcanic cheers erupted from the stands, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.

The moment he walked out of the preparation area and stepped onto the plastic field, Gu Qiao only felt that the temperature around him had suddenly risen by a few degrees.

She looked around, and when the narrator read her name, she stretched out her right hand and waved it in greeting, and the loud sound that burst out in the stands instantly hit her eardrums, and at that moment, the muscles in her whole body seemed to tense, and even her fingertips became stiff.

She had never been to such a large venue, and she had never seen such a large audience.

Looking straight ahead, walking on the runway, Gu Qiao felt some scalp numbness, the root of her tongue was bitter, for a while, she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, she could only mechanically repeat those movements that had been done hundreds of times, jumping high on the spot, and quickly slapping her leg muscles to maintain her excited state of movement.

In the audience not far away, Wang Mingli squinted her eyes and looked forward, while she could still multitasking and kept complaining about He Luo.

"It's all because you're urging you to keep urging, I've been in a hurry for a long time, and I've forgotten to take my glasses! What's wrong with your sister, her expression is a little wrong, is she nervous!?"

The SLR camera with a long lens weighed about two pounds, and He Luo, who had been taking pictures with the camera, put the big guy on his lap, shook his sore left hand, and sighed.

"Mom, can you please stop making a fuss, this is the final, it's normal to be nervous! Don't talk about her, I'm sweating my nervous palms now. ”

Hu Yue on the side also echoed: "Yes, master, who can not be nervous in this situation, Xiao Gu is still inexperienced after all, but we have to have confidence in her, as a group of relatives and friends, just cheer her up." ”

After speaking, he unfolded the banner with Gu Qiao's name and shook it from side to side.

Looking at the apprentice's fugue performance, He Haocheng knew that Gu Qiao's mood was not very stable at the moment, and the problem he was most worried about before the start of this competition still happened.

I couldn't be anxious, but I was afraid that my performance would affect Gu Qiao, his hands were clenched together, his back was behind his back, and all the worries on his face were wrapped tightly, not showing anything.

"This kid is nervous, no wonder, how old she is, she hasn't participated in a few official competitions, and it's the first time she has been exposed to this level of competition, and it's already good if she doesn't have weak legs and can't walk. ”

Hu Youguang squinted at He Haocheng and deliberately raised his voice to comfort his old colleagues.

He Haocheng made a perfunctory hum a few times, which was regarded as a response, and his eyes did not leave Gu Qiao on the field for a second. He shouted Gu Qiao's name, and after receiving the other party's gaze, he stretched out his right hand, raised it high, and then made a slow downward motion.

Seeing this scene, Gu Qiao's heart settled down a little, nodded, and a smile barely pulled out from the corner of his mouth.

Turning and crouching down, ready to try, the first thing that came into my ears was the sound of a heartbeat coming from the violently undulating chest.

"Knock! knock!"

Gu Qiao herself was frightened by this voice, she suddenly stirred, realizing that she was too nervous, if such emotions continued, it would inevitably affect the game.

She exhaled long, inhaled, and exhaled, trying to calm her emotions in this simple but effective way.

However, before Gu Qiao could completely calm down, the starter issued an order.

"All in place. The sound resounded throughout the audience, and the stadium, which had been filled with all kinds of noises a second ago, fell silent in an instant.

In this silence, every sound became extremely clear, and Gu Qiao could even clearly hear the friction sound of the spectators moving their seats in the stands, and he could clearly hear the wheezing sound coming out of his nose, which was becoming heavier and heavier.

Lowering her eyes, the corner of her eyes drifted uncontrollably to the opponent next to her, she saw Liudao Wu Yongli staring directly at the front of her attentive gaze, and also saw Yin Man's two hands supporting the ground trembling slightly because they were too hard.

Gu Qiao suddenly calmed down a little.

It turned out that I was not alone in the nervousness.

Taking advantage of the short time for the other contestants to adjust their postures, she gently called Yin Man's name.

"Yin Man. ”

It was the first time in nearly a year that the two had spoken face-to-face.

In a moment of high tension, hearing his name, Yin Man turned his head blankly, and a question floated out of his mouth.

"Huh?"

"Don't be nervous, come on. ”

The puzzled expression was still sluggish on Yin Man's face, and after a second or two, it was replaced by a gentle smile, she nodded vigorously, turned her head, and looked firmly at the runway ahead.

In the next second, Gu Qiao also retracted his gaze, focused on the runway in front of him, and whispered to himself in a murmuring voice.

"Gu Qiao, you have to come on. ”

As if in response, the starter also gave the next order.

"Ready. ”

There was no noise in the huge stadium, everyone was holding their breath, all eyes were focused on the starting point of the runway.

Zong Huai only felt that he was holding a long breath in his chest, forcing his lungs to explode, but he still didn't dare to exhale, for fear that this small movement would affect the people on the runway.

For Zhou Ran, being able to hold on for three minutes without speaking is already a great achievement. endured and endured, his throat was really itchy and uncomfortable, and he wanted to comment on the players below, but as soon as he opened his mouth, before half a sound could float out, he was firmly covered by Shen Tianming.

Meanwhile.

The starting gun slammed.

The eight runners behind the starting line rushed out in unison like arrows off the string.

After finishing another set of rolls, Lu Ming stretched out and leaned against the edge of the back table, so as to relax his back and maintain a prone position for a long time.

In the interval between evening self-study, senior high school students are trying to relax themselves in just ten minutes.

The boys in the back row seemed to be always energetic, scurrying and howling all over the classroom. The class committee member in charge of the multimedia turned on the computer as usual and faithfully switched to the live webcast of the Central Channel 5, and as the volume bar was lengthened, the announcer's magnetic voice was also amplified and came out of the stereo.

"Good evening, CCTV, CCTV, audience friends, now I am broadcasting for you the scene of the women's 100-meter final of the 10th National Games. ”

It's another sports competition, Lu Ming gently pursed the corners of her mouth, and was about to lie down and bury her head in the crook of her arm to make up for sleep, when the camera switched, the red track on the screen also became a close-up of the participating athletes.

The footage switches as the camera moves, and the narrator introduces them in turn, giving each athlete about two to three seconds of freeze-frame time.

When the frame shifts to the runner on track seven, the photographer seems to be particularly eccentric, and the camera slowly shifts from the left cheek of the girl to the front face, and finally freezes on the right side of the face.

Lu Ming has no doubt that if it weren't for the constraints of the venue, the photographer would be eager to give this contestant a close-up of the 360-degree panorama.

However, as a viewer, she understands the photographer's actions very well, because the young girl in the picture does have a good look.

The jet-black hair was neatly combed and tied into a high ponytail. Under the shaggy shredded hair on both sides of his forehead, a pair of glass-like black eyes with a little flickering light. The slightly upturned curvature of the tail of the eye almost hooks the human heart. His lips pursed slightly, and there was a sense of strong stubbornness. The camera moved to the girl's side face, the facial features were more delicate and beautiful, the lines from the forehead to the tip of the nose to the chin were very smooth, as if someone had carefully carved it, the lens seemed to be still, not letting go of every inch of expression on the girl's face, Lu Ming could clearly see her slightly frowning brows because of nervousness, with a bit of childishness.

This picture immediately hit Lu Ming's heart as a backbone Yan Kong, and when she saw this scene, she subconsciously let go of her hand, straightened her back, and stretched out her right finger to poke her fellow table members who were leaning on the table.

"Who is this athlete?"

What he got was the same blank shaking of his head at the same table, and there was no answer as expected, but it did not affect Lu Ming's interest in appreciating the beautiful girl.

Before she could take a closer look, the screen turned, and the camera lengthened, freezing the scene of the eight contestants entering the painting together.

The game is about to begin.
