Chapter 278: True Face
Chen Cai actually didn't understand why his grandfather had to come to Jiangsu to study, he was also very happy in Sichuan, there was no pressure at school, he made trouble every day, slept in class, wandered around after class, and never worried about the future.
He thought that in the future, it would be a big deal to become a Taoist priest, or to be a carpenter like his father.
It's just that he is used to obeying his grandfather's arrangement, from his name, to the way he dresses, to trying his best to go to high school, all of which are regulated by Yu Lao Dao. You must know that in Lushan, some children do not study after graduating from junior high school and go out to society.
When he was leaving, his grandfather told him that he went out to study not for grades, but for insight, to see how big the world is, and how many capable people there are in this world.
Yu Laodao's words were quickly fulfilled.
Before coming, Chen Cai felt that he was quite remarkable, he was famous in Lushan Middle School, no matter his height, appearance, or amazing bounce power, he was easy to attract the attention of his peers.
But in Licheng, especially the Licheng basketball team, Chen Cai found that he was a fart.
I participated in the basketball team's first training session last night, and I was beaten by Bai Ye. Then watching the basketball team train on the sidelines, he realized that the basketball here is fundamentally different from Lushan.
In fact, if Chen Cai had the opportunity to go to Chengdu, or Chongqing, or even Ya'an, to watch a game in a gymnasium, he would understand that what he had on the school's field was nothing.
The height of 188 is ordinary, and the guy with the tallest basketball team is like a mountain, but his voice is thin like a girl, which is very strange.
His bounce is very good, others used to be surprised to see him easily grab the basket on the basketball court, but yesterday everyone didn't care, I heard that Lu Yuan jumped higher than him.
As for defense, Chen Cai didn't have a chance to verify it, and he spent two hours of training on the sidelines doing boring dribbling drills. The only chance to go head-to-head with Bai Ye was also beaten violently, and there was no chance.
Chen Cai's confidence has been greatly hit, and when the official class starts today, Chen Cai finds that he can't keep up. He is already a sophomore in high school this year, and he didn't go to school at all in Lushan in the first year of high school, and his foundation is very poor.
The mathematics class is like listening to a book from heaven, he is average in mathematics, and the courses in Jiangsu and Sichuan are different, and he didn't understand anything after a class without preparation.
The Chinese class is a little better, but the Chinese class is not the same, and as a result, after the morning class, plus yesterday's training, the whole person fell into a huge sense of frustration.
After class, no one talked to him, and his accent seemed a little strange here, only that Peng Tianzuo, who was more enthusiastic, would chat with him.
However, this person is inseparable from basketball in three sentences, and when it comes to basketball, Lu Yuan must be mentioned, saying how powerful Lu Yuan is and what changes he has brought to the Lizhong basketball team.
Hearing this, Chen Cai's heart was bored for a while.
I originally thought that I would meet this Lu Yuan in Lizhong, but I didn't know that he actually went to the United States, and judging from his performance yesterday, he definitely couldn't beat this guy.
When it was time to eat at noon, Chen Cai felt very unaccustomed to eating the dishes in the canteen, there were too few spicy dishes, so he had to ask the canteen aunt for a can of chopped chili bibimbap to eat.
Then in the basketball team group on the mobile phone, I saw that Lu Yuan was posting photos and talking, but no one paid attention to him, and sent a red envelope, but no one paid attention.
Chen Cai thought that this guy's popularity was not very good, but after the second red envelope was sent, everyone rushed out, and the group was extremely lively.
It turned out that it was not that the popularity was bad, but that the popularity was too good, and everyone joked with him.
Chen Cai didn't say a word because he didn't know what to say, and in this team, he was actually nothing.
After eating silently, Chen Cai wanted to go back to the dormitory, but after hesitating for a while, he decided to go to the gymnasium to practice.
There was no one in the gymnasium, Chen Cai went in to hold the ball and tried to shoot the ball, but he had no foundation and couldn't shoot a ball.
He tried to make a three-step layup again, but it was still bumpy, the pace was not standard at all, and 8 of the 10 layups were not scored, and the other two were scored.
He did dribbling training again, but he could only dribble simply, a little more complicated, change hands, crotch or something, and the ball would hit his feet directly.
After practicing for an hour, I tried all kinds of things, and none of them were decent. Chen Cai threw the ball to the ground and sat on the ground.
The ball bounced on the ground, the thud echoed in the empty gymnasium, and the winter sun shone in through the large glass windows, but it felt cold and not a trace of temperature.
Chen Cai sat on the ground, sweat dripping down his forehead, and a huge sense of helplessness hit his heart. The unfamiliar environment, the overestimation of himself, and the Lu Yuan who shrouded his head all the time, Chen Cai had a huge sense of crisis for the first time in his 16-year life.
However, he was not too depressed or discouraged, but thought about how to deal with the situation in his head.
The environment has changed too much, he has not yet adapted, he has to adjust himself, his idea of basketball is undoubtedly too simple and naïve, he must find a way to know more about basketball, his basketball level is not worth mentioning, it is better to have a way to improve quickly.
Chen Cai has followed Yu Lao Dao all the year round, not only has the child's innocence and ignorance, but he has also inherited Yu Lao Dao's cunning and slippery, and there is bad water in his stomach to make trouble, but now he has to bow his head under the eaves, and he can be honest for a while.
Chen Cai knew that it was not easy for him to come here to study, and it was even more lucky to be able to enter the basketball team, so if he wanted to find a way to gain a firm foothold in the team, he had to improve quickly.
But lying on the floor, looking at the high ceiling, Chen Cai felt that the level of his basketball team was this floor, and it was really out of reach from the high ceiling.
Seeing that it was about to be class time, Chen Cai packed up the ball and was about to leave the gymnasium to go to the classroom for class, when his mobile phone rang.
Chen Cai saw a friend application, from the basketball team chat group, and the applicant was none other than Lu Yuan.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Cai still passed the verification of his friends, and then sent a message from the other side: "You are a new member of the basketball team?
Lu Yuan's style of interrogative sentences, the third grade level of primary school.
Chen Cai thought for a while and replied, "What do you say?" with a smiling expression behind him.
Chen Cai didn't know, just these three words, the image of a master had been established in Lu Yuan's mind, he just thought that it would be good to get some useful information from this Lu Yuan's mouth.
…………………………
The last class in the afternoon was an activity class, and Lin Sifan and Zhou Junlu went to the multimedia classroom in Building 4 to take the exam in the United States.
The two of them didn't speak along the way, since the incident in Dingzhuang last time, the relationship between the two has become dull again, Lin Sifan pretended that nothing had happened, and Zhou Junlu was still the perfect female classmate.
It's just that now, when Lin Sifan looks at Zhou Junlu again, he feels that she always wears a mask on her face, revealing false traces everywhere.
She had never found out in the past, it was only after Lu Yuan told her that Lin Sifan felt it.
She didn't know if Zhou Junlu was really hypocritical, or just because of her own psychological effect, in short, this time she saw Zhou Junlu raise her hand to sign up for the exam in the United States, and she felt very uncomfortable.
Because she knows that in terms of English proficiency, whether it is oral or written test, no one in the whole grade will be Zhou Junlu's opponent, and her oral level is even inferior to the English teacher.
Lin Sifan's English is just ordinary, no matter what, she can't compare to Zhou Junlu, but she still has to take the exam, and she has a very strong and simple idea in her heart - to go to Lu Yuan's place.
When he arrived at the classroom, Lin Sifan glanced at it, but he didn't see the girl who was often in the cheerleading team with Lu Yuan, and he didn't know why she didn't come. The rest are outstanding students from all classes who want to seize this opportunity as an exchange student to go abroad to see and see what they want.
The content of the test is very simple, the written test is to write an English essay, the listening test is English dictation, and after doing the listening and writing essay, you can go to other teachers for the oral test.
The speaking test is also an interview, and the school will determine the candidate based on the results of the test and the student's performance in all aspects of the school.
Lin Sifan felt that she had completed all three tests well, but she and Zhou Junlu took the oral test in the same classroom, and she could hear the conversation inside outside, hear Zhou Junlu's standard and proficient English, and the satisfied expression on the face of the interview teacher, she knew that other people, including herself, were just here to make wedding dresses.
After the exam was over, the school was also dismissed, Lin Sifan and Zhou Junlu left the examination room together to go to the cafeteria to eat.
Zhou Junlu still maintains a casual smile on her face, clean and tidy clothes, a neat hairstyle, a beautiful and lovely face, walking on the road, both boys and girls will be attracted to her.
Lin Sifan, who was originally quite cute-looking, walked beside Zhou Junlu and looked overshadowed.
"Zhou Junlu!"
Lin Sifan suddenly stopped and spoke, Zhou Junlu also stopped, looked at Lin Sifan with bright eyes, showed a little doubt, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Sifan looked at Zhou Junlu's expression, and only felt that the fake made her sick, so he said: "This time, you will definitely be able to go to the United States, but let me tell you, if you dare to hurt Lu Yuan, I will pull out your hair one by one." “
When the words came out, Lin Sifan couldn't believe it, this was what she said, and she didn't dare to imagine her expression when she said this, I am afraid it was very terrifying and hideous.
But thinking of Ding Zhuang, thinking that he was almost insulted, and thinking of Lu Yuan, Lin Sifan had no way to control himself.
Zhou Junlu still had a smile on her face, not only a smile, she grinned, and the smile was even more exaggerated, she nodded lightly, and then said in a brisk tone: "He won't like you like you like this." ”
After speaking, Zhou Junlu suddenly put away her smile, her face was as cold as a piece of ice, she glanced at Lin Sifan with frivolous and cold eyes, and turned to leave.
Lin Sifan was set there, and she saw Zhou Junlu for the first time.
Maybe that's what she's really like.
