With He Luo's protection, Cui Lingli and the others no longer dared to blatantly bully Gu Qiao.

But school violence continues, only from a crude and childish way to a more subtle and low-key approach.

Gu Qiao didn't take the indifference of others to heart, she just buried herself in training, and her grades improved quickly.

Every Sunday, the team will make a summary of the week's training results and announce everyone's training results.

Listening to the results just announced by the assistant coach, Yin Man only felt a chill all over his body.

Gu Qiao, 11.58 seconds. The little girl is really amazing, she actually ran into less than twelve seconds in such a short time!"

How is this possible, how is this possible?

Yin Man only felt that her head was about to explode, and it was not until she walked into the house that she recovered her composure from the panic.

She thought she was hiding it well, but Yang Yili still saw the clues.

"Manman, why are you absent-minded, is something wrong?"

"Nope. ”

Taking a deep breath, Yin Man put down the dishes and chopsticks, turned around and went back to the room upstairs.

Yang Yili saw her depressed like this, and her two thin eyebrows also wrinkled, but with a phone call, she quickly figured out the reason.

Holding the phone, the woman's delicate face was a little stiff and her tone was not good.

"Isn't it just running, I didn't want her to practice for a long time. ”

Yang Yili has never liked her daughter practicing track and field, in her eyes, a lady should be elegant and generous, learn piano dance and the like. Instead of plunging into the training hall every day to practice a stinky sweat, but seeing Yin Man so sad, she didn't feel good in her heart.

"Is that newcomer really faster than my Manman?"

There was a flattering laugh on the other end of the line.

"Not necessarily, the grades have improved so quickly, there must be something greasy in it. ”

"You say she eats... It's impossible, if you really eat it, will you still be able to find out?"

"Oh, Mrs. Yin, this is what you don't understand, the current stimulants are much more advanced, and the new drugs in the United States are not only undetectable, but also completely harmless to the body. ”

Hearing what the other party said, Yang Yili also fell into a short period of contemplation, and after a pause of a few seconds, she spoke again.

"In that case, can you..."

Something strange has happened to the track and field team lately.

Yin Man, who has entered a period of moderate performance, seems to have suddenly opened up the second pulse of Ren Du, and his 100-meter performance has been rapidly improved.

In less than a month, he actually ran into twelve seconds.

The opponent's progress stimulated Gu Qiao, who became more and more silent in school, spending all her free time on the training ground.

No matter how intense the training was, Gu Qiao gritted her teeth and persevered, she never shouted bitterness or tiredness.

Several times, He Haocheng wanted to stop talking when he saw her, but he didn't know what he was worried about, so he didn't say anything to stop it.

On Saturday afternoon, during a regular simulation run.

Gu Qiao made a mistake.

As soon as the starting gun sounded, the team members on the starting line, you chase after me, looking at Yin Man on his right front side, Gu Qiao's heart suddenly felt a trace of panic.

This panic also disrupted her original rhythm, and when she was still more than halfway to the finish line, Gu Qiao sprinted ahead of time.

Soon surpassed Yin Man, but just as he was about to sprint, Gu Qiao suddenly felt some soreness in his calf muscles, which was caused by overtraining, a large amount of lactic acid had accumulated in his muscles, and the training intensity had long exceeded the range of his body.

Gu Qiao's legs were weak and he stumbled for a moment, but in high-speed running, once a person was deflated, he couldn't run.

By the time she adjusted her balance and sprinted forward to the finish, she was already at the bottom of the table.

After the training was over, after returning home, Gu Qiao dragged his sore legs towards the room, He Haocheng looked at her back, endured and endured, but still couldn't hold back, and shouted to stop her.

"Gu Qiao, come with me first. ”

In the study, He Haocheng looked serious.

"You are very abnormal during this time, He Luo told me that you get up at five o'clock in the morning every day to go out for a run, and every day after school, you have to practice and run with weights, why do you add so much extra amount to the planned training I set for you?"

"I... My foundation is too poor, and I want to practice more and improve my grades as soon as possible. ”

"Improving grades?"

He Haocheng tapped his fingers on the table and followed her words.

"The starting point is good. ”

Before Gu Qiao's smile could be put on his face, he changed his words.

"But what about the effect? Have you improved your grades during this time of training?"

Gu Qiao lowered his head and didn't say a word, but when He Haocheng saw her like this, he became angry.

"No, instead of improving, it's getting worse and worse!You look at the results of the recent week, as well as today's training, don't think I didn't see it, you are in a hurry, you only want to surpass Yin Man but forget the rhythm you should have!. ”

Gu Qiao couldn't even lift his head when he said it, staring at his toes, holding back his tears from falling.

He Haocheng said a lot, and without waiting for a response from Gu Qiao, he couldn't help but be a little angry, he stood up, walked around the desk, and walked in front of Gu Qiao.

"Gu Qiao, raise your head. ”

He Haocheng suddenly realized that since these days, the adequate nutritional supply for each meal has made the physical needs of girls in the development period be satisfied, Gu Qiao has grown rapidly, and his height has increased a lot.

At this moment, He Haocheng didn't even need to bend down half of his body to be able to look at Gu Qiao at eye level.

"Running is about sharpening one's patience, but I don't see a little patience in you, it's too impatient. Do you think that in the world of running, as soon as you appear, you can win a championship with a roaring appearance?"

"I just want to run faster. ”

Gu Qiao muttered, the school's experience made her hold back a lot of energy in her heart, she had nowhere to release, she could only rely on the improvement of her grades, as if only the continuous improvement of data could prove her value and prove that He Haocheng did not make a wrong choice.

"Fast is to be fast on the field, not boring in life! What do you think of running? You can't do anything in one step, and the same goes for running, don't simply equate sprinting with a deadly dash. The game is a whole, from the thoughts, to the nerves, to the movements, all together, in order to bring a person's level to the extreme. If you want to win the championship, you have to have the most basic accumulation, step by step, step by step, and patience to accumulate slowly. The more impatient others are, the more you have to stabilize and settle down. You've always done well, why did you suddenly change? Is it because of Yin Man? Her grades have stimulated you?"

Gu Qiao wanted to say no, but she couldn't say it anymore, because He Haocheng was right, she was indeed stimulated by Yin Man's results.

Seeing Gu Qiao bow his head and acquiesce, He Hao sighed.

"Maybe it's because of your past experiences, you always have low self-esteem and always care more about what others think than you do. You are always more concerned about your opponent's results than your own results, and your focus is wrong from the start. Gu Qiao, I hope you don't be influenced by the outside world. It has nothing to do with you how well others are doing and how they are progressing. You just pay attention to it, it is also someone else's, not your Gu Qiao's achievements, only losers will set their sights on others. As athletes, we must first know where our goal is, run forward one footprint at a time, and without the accumulation of hundreds of thousands of meters in front, there will be no sprint in the last ten meters. I want you to be solid and steady every step you take, not to keep your eyes on the top, but to focus on the road under your feet, kid, do you understand what I mean?"

Gu Qiao's face was pale and panicked by his repeated words, his lips trembled slightly, and he couldn't say anything.

"Gu Qiao, raise your head and tell me, are you a loser? If the answer is yes, now, you can pack up your things and leave the track and field team, step out of the door of the training ground, and there will be no one to restrain you, and no one will criticize your behavior again. ”

Gu Qiao stared at the floor under her feet in a daze, she finally realized that she seemed to be really wrong, she had been using running as a tool, and she was running all the way on the wrong road with a paranoid mentality.

Now, He Haocheng's words have brought her back to the starting point.

Fortunately, it's not too late, and she has a chance to start over.

Looking down from He Haocheng's angle, he could only see the girl's jet-black hair and slightly reddened cheeks.

Was it because of shame or anger, or was it just the result of excessive physical exertion?

He Haocheng was a little undecided, he was really not good at dealing with the thoughts of these little girls, he raised his hand against his forehead, and there were some indescribable emotions in his heart.

Maybe Lao Chen is right, psychological factors are more difficult to overcome than physical factors.

As time passed, He Haocheng's patience was gradually exhausted.

Finally, the girl spoke, her voice a little shaky, but firm.

"Coach, I'm sorry, I know it's wrong, I promise it's the last time. ”

He Haocheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a relieved smile crept up his face.

"People run in pursuit of a stronger self, but simply running fast does not mean really strong, I hope you can know what you are running for, and I hope you can learn something from running, ask your own heart, what you really want. Okay, that's all for today, you go back and rest. ”

Gu Qiao shook his head, "If you do something wrong, you will be punished." ”

He Haocheng raised his head and carefully studied the expression on Gu Qiao's face.

There was no trace of unwillingness or shame on the girl's face, she was not angry but really recognized her mistake.

He Haocheng felt very relieved, and at the same time felt very relieved.

Such a good child is his He Haocheng's apprentice.

In the dark, Gu Qiao was motionless as if she had been pointed, her eyes looked straight ahead, she stood straight, her back against the wall, her fists clenched, she forced herself not to think about anything, but she couldn't contain the instinctive trembling of her body.

She's mad at herself.

She hates cowardly herself, hates herself who suffers from gains and losses, and hates herself who doesn't dare to say what she really thinks.

He Haocheng's words are like a pair of substantial big hands, uprooting all kinds of flaws in her character, although it is painful, but it is very effective.
