Chapter Forty-Nine: A Casual Gamble
Every resistance needs strength, every struggle needs courage, and every breakthrough requires self-confidence.
*
The arrival of early spring made the whole campus laugh and laugh, the tender green shoots emerged from the branches little by little, and the wind drifting in the sky was no longer cold, but with a hint of warmth.
The clouds are rolling and the transformation of space and time makes the shy flowers poke their heads out of the green grass.
The annual sports meeting of Yongcheng High School began to be in full swing, and various banners were scattered around the playground, such as "Work hard, always strive for the first", "Beyond the limit, surpass yourself", "Unite and struggle, create brilliance" and so on.
"Luoluo, why didn't you report for the sports meeting? Tan Lin stood in the queue and asked Yu Luochen in a low voice.
"You all signed up for the project, and if I did, no one would be cheering for you! Yu Luochen heard Tan Lin's words and pretended to say in a deep voice.
"Luoluo, you are so sweet! I haven't thought about this question, but is it really because of this?" Tan Lin was very moved when she heard Yu Luochen's words, but when she thought about it, Yu Luochen should not have only one winter vacation, and her temperament would change so much, so she asked suspiciously.
"Okay! Actually, the squad leader and Gu Chenfeng both reported a long-distance run of 3,000 meters, how could I be missing me at such an exciting moment?" Yu Luochen shyly exposed the truth in Tan Lin's distrustful eyes, blushing and putting his hands on his chest, with a good show in his eyes.
"Are you sure you're here to watch them run, or if you want to cheer on that teenager you like. Tan Lin thought about Yu Luochen's madness towards the squad leader, bumped her shoulder, and said with an evil smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Alright, it's almost time to start, you get serious. But Liuli is so bold, she actually signed up for a 3,000-meter run in one go, have you watched her practice running recently?" Yu Luochen looked at Tan Lin's ill-intentioned appearance, swaying from side to side to change the topic.
"No, she's just been concentrating on reading lately, but I found that Ruri doesn't seem to be smiling as much as she did last semester, and the whole person is a lot quieter. Tan Lin thought about Xu Liuli's performance recently, and found that there was a big abnormality in the two, her brows twisted, and she said some huge changes in her mood.
"I also feel the same way, sometimes I call her out to play when I get out of class, and I seem to be holding a book everywhere I go. The careless Yu Luochen also said what he had discovered.
"Everyone, pay attention, the next one is for our squad to enter the field, we are not allowed to speak, and we must wait for the meeting to be neat!" Li Yuming, the squad leader, listened to the words coming out of the radio, and whispered in the noisy whispers in the team, with a straight face, and reminded everyone with righteous words.
Tan Lin was about to answer Yu Luochen's words, but was suddenly yelled at by the squad leader, and suddenly forgot what she was going to say, seeing that Yu Luochen had no desire to talk to her, she just looked at the squad leader in a daze, and she was speechless and stood straight at the rostrum.
Hearing the order of the squad leader, everyone followed the rhythm of the sports committee 'one, two', 'one, two' neatly passed by the rostrum, like poplar trees, tall and resolute.
After all the classes are lined up, the real competition begins.
The athletes have been organized in an orderly manner to go to their own project area and wait for the referee's announcement, He Huan reported a 100-meter sprint, Tan Lin reported a long jump, Zhao Yuqing reported a high jump, and only Xu Liuli, Gu Chenfeng and Li Yuming reported a 3000-meter run, so their running areas were not on the same plane.
"Xu Liuli, are you okay!Can you run later?" Gu Chenfeng looked at Xu Liuli, who was walking beside him with an expressionless face, and asked with a frown.
Since he came to school during the winter vacation, he felt that Xu Liuli was very wrong, and his whole body exuded the breath of not being allowed to enter, and he talked and smiled a lot less.
"It's okay, I can do it. Xu Liuli knows that her recent state has not been adjusted well, and she also knows that her friends around her care about her very much, so she will report 3000 meters for this sports meeting, and she wants to know where her critical value is.
"What are you two talking about? Are you worried that the road is too long to run, it's okay, just control your breathing and pace when running, and don't worry about the ranking and competition: it's about friendship first, competition second. Li Yuming saw the two of them muttering something, thought they were scared, and comforted.
Gu Chenfeng saw that Xu Liuli didn't answer, his eyes glanced at Li Yuming's figure, and complained: "Don't you see that Xu Liuli and I are not as heavy as you combined?"
"Joke, I'm in shape, okay! I didn't want to amplify the words, but it's really unpleasant to look at your contemptuous eyes. Whether it's elementary school or junior high school, as long as I participate in long-distance running, the championship must be mine. Li Yuming heard Gu Chenfeng sarcastically mocking him for being fat, he rolled his eyes, he was more than one meter and seven pounds, and he was not one hundred and thirty pounds, how could he be fat.
Gu Chenfeng participated in the long-distance run because he saw Xu Liuli participate, so he was interested in participating, but when he heard Li Yuming's words, he raised his eyebrows, and said with a provocative voice in his seductive voice: "Are you sure, do you want to compare and see if you are still the champion this year." ”
"Okay! Xu Liuli, you can testify, if I am the champion this time, Gu Chenfeng will call me boss when he sees me in the future, otherwise, if he is the champion, I will call him the boss, how about it, okay? Li Yuming put away his appearance as a hanger, and said the requirements of the bet seriously.
"Okay, I don't have an opinion, I'm waiting for you to call me boss, I want to be called boss by the leader of the first class, it should be very cool!" Gu Chenfeng replied categorically, and imagined the days ahead.
jokes, how could he lose, it's just that he usually doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that he has no strength.
"Yes, I will be your witness. However, now that it's the 2000-meter race, are you sure you want to continue to fight?" Xu Liuli heard the squad leader's words, thinking that it was not a big deal, so he responded.
It's just that between conversations, they have been standing in the competition position for a long time, and it will be their turn after the 2000-meter race.
