Chapter 129: The Starting Line of Memory

I love racing......

You don't need complicated technology, you don't need to rely on a lot of luck, everything on the field is completely displayed by your own quality.

A dignified sport, a fair game.

Sounds like a gentleman, doesn't it, but I'm not really good at it......

When I was a child, I used to compete with my brother to see who could run faster, but I have to admit that although Li Zheng was a year younger than me, I was never as good as him in terms of speed.

"You're just not as diligent as your brother......"

This is what my parents said about me, and although I laughed back with a nonchalant smile, I felt a little uncomfortable as if I had been robbed of something. I was surprised to feel this way, there is no doubt that my relationship with my brother has always been very good, although we would fight when we were young, but this is not how brothers grow up in this world, not to mention that he is not beaten every time......

I tried to find the answer to this loss, and even wondered for a while whether my liking for my brother Li Zheng was based on my superiority over him, until I found that I could never compare to him in the race, and I felt lost because my pride as a brother collapsed.

So I hid from my family and stayed on the school playground every day, training my speed day after day, and fantasizing about the look of surprise and adoration on my brother's face when he ran past him one day......

I remember it was a Thursday evening, an ordinary Thursday, and I stayed on the playground after school as usual, training with my stopwatch. However, unlike usual, on that day, my younger brother Li Zheng suddenly appeared in my school.

"Brother, are you here?"

I was so surprised that I couldn't speak for a moment.

"What are you doing here?" my brother glanced at the stopwatch beside me, "Playing athletics?"

"Can you manage it?...... "I was a little angry for some reason, and I picked up my coat and yelled at him angrily, "Let's go, go home!"

"Haha, I didn't expect it...... Do you really care so much?" the younger brother was very smart, and after a while he guessed the general situation of the matter, and said with a smile, "If you want to say that your parents are always looking away, you are the active person in the family who wants to be the first in everything......"

"Who made you kid a typical two-faced, well-behaved like a chicken at home, and all kinds of hangings in front of me!" For this younger brother, to be honest, sometimes I can't do anything about him, "Why do you think about the school blocking me today? Is it deliberately to see me laugh?"

"Hehe...... Li Zheng smiled thiefly, "We don't say dark words in front of people, you have been going out early and returning late late, your parents think you are in love, let me come to your school to keep an eye on you......"

"Damn! You're going to take all the work?"

"I'm firmly on your side! If there is a ......" Li Zheng flashed back, dodging my capture, "Haha, why are you so excited, if there is, I want to see what my sister-in-law looks like......"

"You kid doesn't look serious......" I shook my head, too lazy to bother with him, and took a few sips of water from a water bottle, not wanting this kid to go around the playground and come back to mess with me.

"Now, I said, how long have you been practicing like this?"

"It just started last week, and it didn't take long to ......"

"Haha......" The younger brother clapped his hands in understanding, "According to your temper, why do you have to practice for a month?"

I shrugged, and I didn't intend to deny that brothers can't hide lies.

"Look at your ...... spirit"

I thought that my brother would continue to go crazy with the question, but unexpectedly, his expression suddenly became serious.

"I said, brother, do you have to be better than me in everything?"

I frowned, thinking that it would hurt a little bit, so I changed my tone and explained, "Actually, it's not like that...... But as an older brother, it should be important to be the first in everything......"

The younger brother sighed, then stood up from the ground and jumped in place, twisting his arms as if to warm up.

"How, brother, I've been practicing for so long, why don't we run faster here?"

"Huh, I've just practiced, and my physical strength is ......."

"Didn't I interrupt your training?" Before I could finish speaking, Li Zheng interjected, "Okay, make fewer excuses, run once, and you will understand......"

"Understand, what?" I chatted to him as I walked to the starting line alongside him.

"The true meaning of racing......"

"When did you kid talk so well?"

Li Zheng just smiled and adjusted the stopwatch setting so that it could sound an electronic alarm after ten seconds as a starting order, which is a consistent rule between our brothers.

"Racing is not something that can be done with hard work......

My brother's self-talk, along with the stopwatch alarm, reached my ears at the same time, and before my brain could finish processing it, my legs had already taken a step, sweeping a little dust from the ground, and I was on the track, enjoying the strong wind blowing in my face.

A perfect start and I'm satisfied.

But the result of the game was a different story, and in just a few seconds, my younger brother Li Zheng once again ran ahead of me, just as usual, announcing the complete bankruptcy of my special training......

I stood there panting with my knees propped up, not trying to straighten up for a while.

"You won......" After my breathing calmed down, I raised my head, my heart was blank, "I still can't outrun you after practicing for a long time, it seems that I can't accept it......"

Interestingly, this time Li Zheng didn't show much of it, but patted me on the shoulder.

"People are different, sometimes, you do have to admit that talent is such a thing......" Li Zheng took a deep breath, "Don't look at me if I can outrun you, there is a little man named Ah Yong in my class, a pair of small short legs run fast, I can't compare to him......"

"Won't you feel unwilling?" I asked.

"Yes, have you forgotten that we are brothers, the stinky temper of love is a family ......heirloom," the younger brother waved his hand, "but I have figured it out now, people, the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, it is precisely because of all kinds of differences that it seems wonderful, like this, it will be very hard to care about everything......"

"Why don't I remember that you have such a passable temper?" my brother was surprised when he said such a thing, "Anyway, since I was a child, have you fought less with me?"

"People will change...... the kid smiled very happily, "The family is strictly managed, and our parents have taught us to be confident since we were young, as if as long as we work hard, there is nothing in this world that we can't do, but in fact, this world is not like this, is it?"

I silently ......

Of course, people have their own limits, they have to eat when they are hungry, they have to rest when they are tired, and where to stop is the most perfect interpretation of life......

Ah, for a moment, I seemed to understand why I loved running.

Because I ran desperately, I could understand where I should give up......

You don't need technology, you just have the courage to move forward.

There is no need for luck, the only thing to worry about is the truth in your heart.

Can't really run?

At the semi-final of the women's 400-meter run of the Yangfan University Town Track and Field Competition, elites from all walks of life gathered together, among them, most of them were destined to be just foils, and the real race was actually like this.

When you stand at the starting line, winning or losing is already predestined......

Li Ming looked at Zhang Luqi on the field, those serious eyes made him feel distressed.

Xiaoqi...... It's enough, it's enough to work hard to get to this point, it's enough to have a clear conscience and find your limit......

"If she can't win, will she keep running?"

"Huh?" Zhou Jinyun was taken aback by Li Ming's sudden statement, "What did you say?"

Li Ming looked at Zhou Jinyun, with a soft face, weak legs, sitting in a wheelchair, her shoulders trembling slightly in the cold wind, how can such a woman not make people feel pity? It is such a woman who will make you hate God's injustice, miracles, they are so eager for a miracle......

"Smack!"

A gunshot rang out, and the athletes on the starting line rushed out like a fly, followed by the enthusiastic cheers in the stands.

"Come on, Sister Luqi, come on!"

I can't remember what day of the week it was, but I remember that it was an ordinary school day in high school, and when passing by the playground, Ye Jing saw the class leader Li Zhengzheng and the little man Ah Yong playing basketball one-on-one, so she stopped and watched for a while with great interest.

After the two clashed back and forth several times, Li Zheng gradually gained the upper hand.

"Squad leader, your key is not as ......fast as Ah Yong," Ye Jing shouted, "Whether it is offensive or defensive, Ah Yong can always be in place in advance." ”

"Yo he, are you quite an expert?" Li Zheng took the opportunity to collect the ball, and walked towards Ye Jing step by step, leaving only Ah Yong behind him and looking at the leading score board helplessly, it seems that Li Zheng has made up his mind to repay the account again this time.

"Hehe, can anyone who reviews football in the newspaper play football?" Ye Jing replied.

"That's right......" Li Zheng glanced at Ah Yong, who was playing with the ball alone, "I don't understand how that little short leg can run so fast, how many times I have raced with him, I just can't win, to be honest, I'm really a little unwilling......"

"What's so unwilling, each has its own strengths...... Ye Jing pouted, "Besides, the joy of life lies in experiencing all kinds of different things, whether you are good at it or not, it doesn't have to be the first in everything......

"Then according to what you say, what do you think we are working hard for if talent is the premise?" Li Ming joked, "It's like at the starting line, you know that you can't be faster than others, so there is still a race?"

Ye Jing was silent for a while, and then said with a smile: "So what? If it's a race, everyone's finish line is the same, even if there are fast and slow, but at least the scenery along the way, you are a lot more than that......"
