Chapter 5 Prelude to the Sports Festival
On April 20, there are two full days to go before the opening of the sports festival. The stadium is located in the empty field one street away from Xingyu High School, which was bought by the principal when he opened the school. The stadium has an oval structure, with stepped seats that can accommodate four or five thousand people. There is an entrance to the east, west, south, and south, so even trucks can pass through. In the center of the stadium is a standard football field, and the green lawn is regularly maintained, and other units usually rent the venue for some games and activities. Outside the football field is a 400-meter plastic track, and there are also bunkers and badminton courts next to the track.
The ground floor of the stadium is a number of offices, the parking lot is on the second basement floor, and the table tennis hall and basketball court are on the basement floor. In general, the underground is not open.
Because of the need to prepare the venue, the school specially approved the members of the male and female student council and related athletes to enter the stadium on the 20th and 21st. A group of people were stationed in the vast stadium, adding a bit of noise to the otherwise quiet place.
Yu Xia was dressed in a neat school uniform, standing in the open space with a form in his hand, assigning tasks to everyone. A few sparrows flew in the sky against the vigorous morning sun, and the breeze blew through the lawn, mixing with the scent of grass.
Shui Yin curled up her long glass-blue hair, and wrapped it in a ball with a head flower, leaving only a little hanging down to her ears. She also had a few pages of forms in her hands, a list of things to do for the two days.
As the saying goes, men and women are not tired of working together. The two student presidents first arrange the work of their respective members, and then combine the people assigned to the same work into a group, which is both equal and efficient. The two teams came together, Yu Xia and Shui Yin stood in the circle of people, Shui Yin subconsciously looked at Yu Xia's face, but Yu Xia was also looking at her, the two looked at each other, one was clear and bright with a little simplicity, and the other was ordinary but contained ten thousand styles. Shui Yin quickly turned her head within 0.5 seconds after her eyes touched, and a sense of disobedience came to her heart......
What is this guy looking at me with a serious face!
Why did this guy remember to come to see me, Yu Xia thought to herself at this time.
After a few short seconds, Shui Yin began to form a group with the staff, and his tone was so calm, but the flush on his face could not escape Yu Xia's eyes. "Three men and two women who fill the bunker." There were only seven or eight people left in the original crowd. "A man and a woman in charge of athlete numbers." The two of them left again, and now only Yuxia was left standing silently behind Shui Yin.
"The ...... of the flagpole" Shui Yin kept his head down and shouted the password, completely unaware of the situation around him, probably because he was a little "flustered"! "I'm the only one left, President Wuli." Yuxia interrupted her in a rather relaxed tone. Only then did Shui Yin raise his head and see Yu Xia standing in front of him, with an expressionless face. She paused for two seconds, seemingly holding back a sentence. "The flagpole is on the basement level...... We are a group. Shui Yin deliberately avoided Yu Xia's eyes and turned to leave.
The two walked from the open space of the stadium to the corridor below the stands. The other students who were working looked in their direction and heard someone whispering: "Aren't those two mortal enemies?" Why can I always see them on the same screen recently? "Who knows, I heard from others in the morning that President Mu Chen seems to have found a job for President Wuli." "Is there such a thing? The two of them must be bored! "In this way, they really look like a couple......" "You, guess what! Hurry up and get a hand! ”
Although Yu Xia didn't hear anyone else's comments, he could still feel it. After all, he is one of the best "high-quality men" in the school, and even if it is a very small action, it will be seen by many people.
"Yuxia!" Just as the two of them were about to step down the steps, a voice at the table stopped him. The two of them stopped in unison and saw Yan Shan standing in the aisle.
Yan Shan was wearing a blue and white tracksuit, her long red hair was tied up, and her hand holding a stopwatch was waving at Yu Xia. "Can you come over for a moment?" Yan Shan's tone rose up, and her sweet voice couldn't help but make the men around her look at it.
Yu Xia glanced at Yan Shan, who was smiling brightly, and moved her gaze to the front again. Just a second before Yu Xia's gaze was about to connect with Shui Yin's again, Shui Yin twisted his head back. "Go ahead, I'll solve it alone." Shui Yin quickened his pace to descend the stairs, and disappeared from Yu Xia's vision in a few seconds.
Seeing that Yu Xia didn't react, Yan Shan ran down in three steps and two steps, and walked to Yu Xia's side step by step. Yu Xia turned around and saw Yan Shan looking down the stairs with a puzzled expression. "What's going on down there?" Yan Shan had been paying attention to Yu Xia from the beginning, and she saw that there was no one under the steps, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
"Nothing, what's the matter with you?" Yu Xia's tone was flatter than the sea horizon.
"I signed up for a 100-meter dash, can you help me train?" Yan Shan's expectant eyes seemed to hide a knife. Yu Xia seemed to read a different meaning, and spit out softly: "Yes." ”
The two of them passed from one side of the stadium to the other, and the green lawn was softer after the spring rain a few days ago, and the grass sprouted new shoots, and sparrows would fall on it from time to time. Yan Shan has been chatting with Yu Xia about something, and Yu Xia has simply responded.
"Can Yu Xia help me time it?" Yan Shan handed him the stopwatch, "Just wave your hand." Yan Shan walked towards the starting point. Yu Xia's eyes were a little wrong, as if she sensed some danger.
In the open space above the steps, it seemed as if a person was standing there shouting something.
The people who were nearer soon heard the shouts, and then more and more people filled the clearing, as if something big had happened.
Seeing such a scene, Yu Xia threw down the stopwatch and rushed over as if he had been prepared for a long time, and the speed was comparable to that of an arrow with a string.
Yu Xia squeezed through the crowd and saw three or two people surrounded by the bottom of the steps, like a four-meter-long flagpole with a thick bowl bottom and placed diagonally on the steps. He recognized the ball-like blue hair at a glance.
Yu Xia's heart seemed to have overturned the spice box, his brain went blank, and he walked on stiffly and quickly. Several girls around Shui Yin saw Yu Xia coming, so they gave way to her.
I saw Shui Yin pretending to sit calmly on the ground, protecting his left ankle with both hands, and smiling as if nothing had happened. Then, she saw Ha Xia emerge from the crowd, and the smile on her face became even stiffer. She didn't say anything, didn't even look at him a second time.
Yu Xia saw the red and swollen ankles that were blocked by Shui Yin's hands, and his heart seemed to be instantly filled with electrodes of several hundred volts, and the electricity made him speechless.
Haxia ripped off the tie on her chest and squatted down next to Shui Yin, tying it around her ankles. His movements didn't stop, but his spirit felt like it was frozen. Yuxia didn't look directly at her face, and Shui Yin didn't look directly at his face. Some of the people around whispered: "Shouldn't Mu Chen be in a group with Wuli?" Why is Wuli the only one left? "Hmph, I want to ask the eldest young master, who is so delicate that he can't even hold a flagpole." "Hey, be quiet, you'll be heard!" "What if I hear it, I'm not afraid of him!"
The cynicism of others ran through Yu Xia's heart again and again, he knew that he was wrong, he was the one who couldn't forgive himself the most. Yu Xia let his classmates gossip, he buried his head, his eyes hidden in the shadow of his hair.
He didn't notice, no one noticed, that the sound of the water sitting there flowed crystal tears.
"Enough!" A shout stopped everyone's conversation.
Yu Xia raised her head in shock, and saw the tears left by this very strong girl, and was instantly stunned.
- That was the first time he had seen her cry.
All the students present were just as stupid, they didn't know why things had turned out like this.
Yu Xia stepped forward and hugged Shui Yin's waist, and with the help of his right hand, he lifted Shui Yin's legs and hugged her whole.
This time, it was not only the onlookers who were stunned, but also the sound of water.
Yu Xia didn't look at her flushed tear-stained face, and walked up the stairs steadily. Shui Yin didn't seem to feel the pain in his ankle anymore, his mind went blank, and his whole body leaned on Yu Xia's arms. In this way, Yu Xia's back disappeared from people's sight, but the underground was still surprisingly quiet.
On the periphery of the crowd, Yan Shan also stood there, she took out her mobile phone with a solemn expression, touched it on the keyboard a few times, and quietly left.
Haxia kept this position until she got home. On the way, except for Shui Yin's request for Yu Xia to put her down, and Yu Xia refused, the two did not say a word.
Yu Xia put down Shui Yin in front of the house, he protected her with his right hand and took out the key with his left hand. After the door was pushed open, he picked up Shui Yin again and walked straight to her bedroom. Shui Yin couldn't maintain his inner calm, and asked tentatively: "You...... What are you going to do......" Yu Xia did not answer.
He walked to the foot of the bed and placed her firmly on the bed. He put the pillow up so that Shui Yin could rest on it. Only then did Shui Yin dare to look directly at his face, Yu Xia had a serious expression, like a child who had made a mistake, and his eyes that seemed to be calm were like turbulent waves.
After Shui Yin lay down, Yu Xia turned around and left the room, and Shui Yin should have entered the bathroom when he heard his footsteps.
After a few minutes of silence.
Yu Xia walked in with a folded towel, and Shui Yin heard footsteps and looked up at him. Yu Xia picked a bed and sat down, and put an ice towel on her ankle, moving very lightly. Shui Yin looked at his back and smiled with relief. She lowered her hair and spread her hands, her glass-blue hair like a veil of blue.
"I'm sorry." Yu Xia's voice was extremely low.
"It's okay." Mizune gently stroked her left hand on Hatsu's back, smiling.
"I'm going to cook." Yu Xia replied for a while.
Looking at his back as he got up and walked away, Shui Yin knew that Yu Xia was back.
Yu Xia walked to the door and said without looking back, "Don't be crying next time." ”
Mizune smiled at the towel, which was just the right amount of coolness.
- "It's not a cry, stupid. ”
