Once again, the class looked at each other in amazement.

Xiaoying hurriedly silenced herself.

When the classmates turned their heads back again to do their own things, Xiaoying couldn't help but say, "So you didn't take the initiative to attack me like before during your morning exercise today, just to study the momentum before I made a move, right?" ”

"Yes."

"Cut, if you didn't say it earlier, then I'll move slower, and tell you in advance what leg method I plan to make, aren't you doing more with less?"

Baicao was stunned.

"However, if you deliberately slow down, and you know that I am observing, will it be different from the normal action in actual combat or competition?"

"Hey, this is also ......" Xiaoying scratched her head, her heart was itchy, and she suddenly wanted to go and test whether the practice method that Baicao said was useful, "After class today, let's go back to the gym to practice!" ”

"Okay."

Xiaoying was excited and ready to continue, when the class bell rang, and the gray-haired math teacher walked into the classroom with the lesson plan, she had to shut up. Throughout the math class, she was so excited that she was absent-minded. In fact, she thinks that the method that Baicao said should definitely be effective, and at the end of the morning exercise, Baicao kicked her like a time difference, which is very revealing!

Hey, is that book really a martial arts cheats?

Legendary martial arts cheats!

If you practice, you can become the first person in the world's mysterious martial arts cheats?!

Hahahahaha!

Strange, she was so excited, how could Baicao still listen to the teacher's lecture attentively? Watching Baicao take notes while listening carefully to the class, Xiaoying really felt incredible.

******

Dominate the enemy to get the first step!

Before the opponent has fully made a move, just at the moment when he is ready to take off, he sees through the opponent's intention and gives the opponent a fatal blow!

If you can practice this kind of process!

Isn't that a hundred battles won, and the world is invincible?!

Xiao Ying excitedly pulled Baicao all the way back to the Songbai Dao Hall as soon as she got out of school, changed into her uniform, and couldn't wait to pull Baicao to the practice hall, and then ordered Baicao to attack her! She wants to see the momentum of Baicao's every move, so as to crack Baicao's every attack!

But......

Can...... But......

Why doesn't it seem to be as easy as you imagined?

On the thirty-seventh time when she was kicked by Baicao's horizontal kick, Xiaoying sat down on the mat without tears and shouted:

"No more practicing! You liar, you can't see anything clearly, okay! ”

The moment before the leg came out, it was faster than the blink of an eye, and before she could see anything up, Baicao's leg had already beckoned to her! The so-called momentum is fleeting, not even a second, or in fact, only a dozen or a second, how can it be seen that there is no Monkey King's fiery eyes!

"It hurts to death! If you don't practice, you don't practice! ”

Xiaoying sat on the mat in frustration and refused to get up, why is there such an insurmountable gap between dreams and reality, it is so sad.

Baicao handed her the towel.

It's quite difficult to practice.

She thought about it for a long time last night, and felt more and more that what she said made sense, but when she tried it in the morning exercise, she found that it was not easy to see the opponent's momentum. So she has been kicked by Xiaoying in the morning, but it is difficult to judge Xiaoying's intentions, and only once did she not know if it was a coincidence, so she counterattacked Xiaoying.

"Forget it, don't practice either. It's hard to practice! And with this kind of practice, how many legs do you have to eat, and your body will not be able to eat it," Xiaoying covered her waist and groaned, "Woo, I'm dying of pain now......"

Hey, she's only been practicing for a while, and she can't bear it. During morning exercise, she kicked Baicao so many legs, Baicao must have hurt more. This stinky herb doesn't even cry out in pain, it seems that she is very squeamish, so uncute!

"But it makes sense in theory...... "Baicao thought and thought.

"It makes sense in theory, but there are more things that are not operable in practice!" Xiaoying said indignantly, "It's impossible, in such a short moment, to judge the other party's intention to make a leg, isn't it a fantasy!" "Hateful and hateful, white made her excited!

“…… I still want to try. ”

Xiaoying was stunned and said, "You...... You ......"

"I'm not going to participate in the Gym Challenge anyway, so I have a lot of time to explore this." Baicao smiled, "It's nothing if you can't practice, there's nothing to lose after all." "Even if it's the experience of failure, it's also experience. What she lacks most now is practical experience and skills, so as long as it is theoretically feasible, she must give it a try.

"Why didn't you lose anything, doesn't it hurt to be kicked by me?"

“…… It didn't hurt much, hehe. ”

Xiaoying rolled her eyes, stood up, and said angrily: "You, you actually said that it didn't hurt much to be kicked by me, are you laughing at the weakness of my legs?" That's because I can't bear to kick too hard, so I deliberately show mercy under my legs! Come, let you see my clear sky thunderbolt legs! Ahh ”

Xiaoying practiced with Baicao for more than an hour, until she was too tired to bear, so she went back to her room to rest. Baicao practiced the basic leg technique alone for a while, and when it was time to clean up, she tidied up the mat in the practice hall, picked up the broom outside the house and began to sweep the floor.

Sizzle.

It hurts.

Sweeping all the way along the path of the courtyard, her body that she was unaware of during the practice was slowly awakened by the pain, and she always used her arm to block Xiaoying's leg attacks, and her arm was so sore that she couldn't lift a broom.

"What's wrong with your hand?"

The slender figure was reflected on the ground of the path, and when he heard the familiar voice, Baicao was startled, and subconsciously hid his arm behind him.

"Let me see."

Hatsuhara stretched out his hand to her, his fingers clean and slender, reflected in the evening glow with a gentle warmth. Why do you always meet him? Thinking unconsciously about this question, Momokusa raised his arm. He rolled up the sleeves of her gown, and his brow furrowed when he saw that her arms were covered with large bruises and redness.

The stream is babbling.

The evening wind blew in from the windows of the cabin.

Hatsuhara carefully rubbed the bruises on Baicao's arm, the smell of medicinal oil filled the air, strong and warm, she lowered her head, her cheeks seemed to be slightly red by the sunset, and occasionally raised her eyes to look at him, he was concentrating on rubbing her arm, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

"Why did you hurt so badly?"

Normal training would not have bruised so badly, unless she was completely defenseless. Rubbing her bruised skin, seeing that she quietly bit her lip in pain but didn't say a word, Hatsuhara couldn't help but put her hand lightly.

"I ......"

Baicao hesitated.

"Huh?"

“…… I'm trying a method. Finally, she couldn't help but say it, she told him what she saw from the "Whirlwind Leg Method" and her own thoughts, if she could judge the other party's intentions in advance and take the lead in the enemy, she should have a very advantageous advantage in actual combat.

Hatsuhara's fingers paused, then poured some medicinal oil into his palm, began to rub her left arm, and said:

"Well, that's a good idea."

"Really?"

Baicao's eyes widened with excitement.

"However, it is also possible that no matter how much you practice, you will not be able to capture the feeling of the moment before your opponent's move, after all, that moment is very brief and fleeting," he looked at her fawn-like eyes that sparkled with excitement, and the corners of his lips were dyed with a smile, "and this kind of practice will be hard, can you afford it?" ”

"Yes!"

She replied without thinking.

He stared at her for a few seconds, a smile streaming from the corner of his lips into his eyes. Yes, he knew that this girl was not afraid of hardship, as long as she was given a goal, she would be like a small grass, even if there was a boulder pressed on it, she would grow very tenaciously.

"You have to promise me one thing."

"Okay."

No matter what the Hatsuhara seniors asked her to do, she would do it, and Baicao even quietly hoped in her heart that it was a very difficult thing to do, so that she would feel that she could repay some of the Hatsuhara seniors for taking care of her all the time.

He bowed his head and rubbed the medicated oil for her, and said:

"At the end of every day, I have to come here. Bruises should be rubbed away on the same day, otherwise if the old injuries have not healed and the new injuries continue, it will cause muscle damage. ”

"Huh?" She froze.

"That's it, can you promise me?"

His fingers were soft and strong, and the bruises on her arms were hot and scalding with the oil, and the bruises gradually dissipated. She wanted to shake her head and say no, she could rub the oil herself every day, but when she looked up and saw his focused and soft face in the glow, she nodded for some reason.

******

In the blink of an eye, there is only a little more than a week left before the Gym Challenge, and the atmosphere of preparation for the Songbai Gym is getting stronger and stronger. Ruobai stepped up his practice, got up very early and went to bed late every day, except for going to school, eating and sleeping, he was basically in the practice hall. Yifeng also changed his lazy appearance in the past, and practiced with Ruobai every day, and the two of them increased the time for actual combat, often sweating profusely before sitting on the mat to rest for a while.

Xiuqin also trained very hard and seriously. Because in addition to the morning and evening exercises, she and Yifeng were in a group, and Yifeng mainly practiced with Ruobai at other times, so Ruobai specially selected several other male disciples to accompany Xiuqin to practice, and Xiuda naturally became the person who spent the most time with Xiuqin to practice.

And the other disciples who don't have to participate, whether they are senior sister Xiuqin's sparring partners or not, are trying to create the best environment and atmosphere to match the three contestants of Senior Brother Ruobai, looking forward to the Songbai Daoguan can make a splash in this year's challenge and regain its prestige!

Xiaoying even organized the female disciples in the gym to set up a cheerleading team, and began to practice various fancy styles and slogans outside of practice every day. The courtyard is the place where the cheerleaders are active, and the girls are excitedly trying to arrange various formations, waving homemade colorful flower balls in their hands, in Xiaoying's words, no matter what kind of ranking the Songbai Dojo will achieve in the competition, their cheerleading team must be the most imposing and the best and most exciting!

Baicao was also hard-pulled by Xiaoying to join the cheerleading team.

In the first two days, she was very reserved, when she was in the Quansheng Gym, she was never allowed to participate in such group activities, and after a long time, she no longer knew how to blend in with the crowd. Clumsily holding the flower ball, she thought everyone would laugh at her clumsiness, but it turned out that she was not the only one who seemed clumsy, and the other girls often couldn't keep up with Xiaoying's password, and everyone just teased and joked with each other, and didn't care.

Laughter and laughter turn a grassy courtyard into a happy garden.

The movements of the cheerleaders gradually became uniform, colorful flower balls waved brilliantly in the sun, and the girls shouted energetically "Come on, come on, pine and cypress!" "Songbai Gym, go forward!" and other slogans, the male disciples also gathered around to cheer and cheer, and put forward various suggestions.

Standing in the middle of the cheerleading squad, surrounded by girls with bright smiles, Baicao shouted slogans loudly, dancing the flower balls vividly, and unconsciously, the smile on her face was as bright as the sun.

This smile was forced by Xiaoying at first.

As a cheerleader cheering up your brothers and sisters, your smile must be bright and bright, showing at least eight teeth, preferably ten! Xiaoying forced all the cheerleading girls to practice by themselves in front of the mirror, and Baicao's smile was even more stared at by Xiaoying herself.

From the initial unaccustomed to the natural expression of her smile, Baicao can't remember how long it has been, but once she returned to her room from cheerleading training, and accidentally saw in the mirror that she still had a big smile on her face, her eyes were bright, and her cheeks were flushed.

She stared in the mirror and froze.

All along, she thought that she was not accepted and liked, and only by practicing taekwondo hard could she see her master's satisfied smile. Could it be, perhaps, in fact, that she can also be accepted by others, that she can not be hated, that she can make friends, that she can also be looked at with friendly eyes, and that a warm feeling wells up in her heart?

It's like she's been practicing for the past two days.

She is still trying to observe the momentum before the move, staring at Xiaoying's legs in the morning and evening exercises every day, observing the changes in Xiaoying's eyes, shoulders, waist, and legs in the moment before her legs, and her attentive observation inevitably makes her reaction a little slow, and she always eats a lot of Xiaoying's legs.

Because of the training in the cheerleading team, the female disciples and Baicao became familiar with each other at once, and they no longer felt that she was just a silent weirdo, and they all began to take the initiative to talk to her and care about her.

"Why do you seem to be stunned when you practice these days, and you can't avoid Xiaoying's attack?" Ayin is a girl of the same age as her, but she goes to a noble middle school, her skin is slightly dark, and her long hair is permed with slightly curly waves, which is very beautiful.

"Are you still sad that you didn't participate in the Gym Challenge?" Pingping looked at her worriedly, and stayed by her side to help her wipe the mat, "The body is the most important thing, if you are kicked by Xiaoying every day and don't fight back, it will be very painful and unbearable." ”

Baicao tried to explain to them.

They were always stunned to listen, and then looked at her with a look of sympathy and fear that it would hurt her, as if they thought that she was too stimulated and whimsical, and that she had gone mad and become stupid. Later, they all tried to avoid the topic, only mentioning some interesting facts about the cheerleading team and the school, and then helping her clean up or tidy up the practice hall whenever they had time.

"Go and rest, I can do it myself."

Every time Baicao stopped them from helping, but every time they insisted on helping, there were various reasons, or "Hurry up and finish these jobs, you can start cheerleading training sooner, you are the main force of the cheerleading team, you can't do without you!" ”

Or rather:

"I've eaten too much today, I want to do something to lose weight!"

Or rather:

"Don't, I have gossip to tell you, it's more atmospheric to talk while working!"

Chalet before dinner.

"Something happy?"

There were fewer bruises on her arms than in the previous days, and Hatsuhara rubbed Baicao's arms with medicinal oil, and even if she didn't look up, she could feel the bright and happy aura emanating from her.

"Hmm!"

Baicao endured it, but the smile on the corner of her mouth still couldn't be controlled, and it flashed brightly into her eyes. Just now, Xiaoying, Ah Yin and Pingping helped her wipe all the mats in the practice hall, and it only took less than twenty minutes to wipe them all, in fact, whether it was wiping the mats, sweeping the floor or washing clothes, she was used to doing it, and she didn't feel tired at all.

But—

With their help, my heart is as warm as the ripples on the surface of a lake in the sun, golden and gently rippling layer by layer.

"Looks like they're willing to be friends with me!"

So wanting him to share her happiness and touch, she couldn't wait to tell him everything, her brisk tone was a few degrees higher than usual, she was like a little girl waiting to talk, pulling the person she trusted the most happily.

"They're going to like you." Infected by her happiness, Hatsuhara smiled, looked into her happy sparkling eyes, and said, "As long as they approach you and know you, they will like you." ”

Her face flushed.

I could hear the praise of her in his words, and suddenly there was some uneasiness in the joy, and she lowered her head crampedly. In fact, she doesn't have to make everyone like her, she just hopes that everyone won't hate her so much and reject her.

"Is it because I'm on the cheerleading squad?" If participating in group activities such as cheerleading makes it easy for everyone to accept her, then she will definitely participate in more similar activities in the future.

"I think there's part of the reason." Hatsuhara smiled, changed her left arm and began to knead the medicinal oil, "But the more important reason may be that they feel a little guilty in their hearts. ”

"Guilt?" She didn't understand.

"It was you who won the gym selection competition, but it turned out that Xiuqin was qualified to participate in the gym challenge."

"But don't everyone think that it should be Xiuqin's seniors to participate? Why do you feel guilty about me? As she spoke, her heart tightened, and her speech slowed down, "I impulsively said something like that to Ruobai Senpai that day, and everyone probably hated me, thinking that I was too strong and arrogant." ”

"Actually, I figured out later that I was too selfish and only thought about competing by myself, and didn't think about the overall honor of the Songbai Gym. Xiuqin's seniors represented the Songbai Gym, which was indeed a better choice than me. "So, there's nothing to feel guilty about." ”

The aroma of medicinal oil filled the cabin strongly.

Hatsuhara said with a smile:

"That's the way things are. When you don't have the strength to completely defeat Xiuqin, even if you defeat Xiuqin, if you are sent to the competition, everyone will sympathize with Xiuqin and be angry with you. However, when it is finally decided that Xiuqin will play, everyone will feel that after all, it is actually you who won Xiuqin, and they will feel indebted to you. ”

She was stunned.

It's a little sad that they may be close to her for this reason. However, no matter what the reason, she could feel that Pingping and Ayin were sincere to her, and those smiles, and the sweat that flowed from wiping the mat and sweeping the floor with her, really touched her.

"Not happy?"

Hatsuhara looked at her drooping eyelashes.

"Nope."

After thinking about it, she raised her head and said:

"It's so much sadder to be alone, with no one to talk to, hostile to me, and to see me as invisible, than not being able to participate in the Gym Challenge. If I lose my qualification for the Gym Challenge, I think it's good that everyone will accept and like me. And, no matter what the reason is good to me, to me, being good to me is being good to me, and I will try to be good to them, and I will be grateful that they are willing to smile and talk to me. ”

The sunset is all over the window.

Her cheeks were also flushed with the glow, and it was very vivid. After saying that series of words, she paused, and solemnly continued to say to him:

"Hatsuhara-senpai, thank you for suing me for this. If the strength is insufficient, it will not be able to really convince others after all, and even if it is an occasional victory, it cannot cover up the gap in strength. Therefore, I will practice hard, and one day, I will use my strength to win everyone's recognition! ”

"Well, well said, very ambitious."

The door of the cabin was not closed tightly, and the girl's gentle voice came from outside the door. Baicao was stunned, turned her head to look, and saw that it was Tingyi walking in, her eyes fell on Chu Yuan first, and then looked at Baicao, and said with a smile: "I believe you will improve very quickly, and I look forward to one day playing a close game with you." ”

"Tingyi senior."

Baicao stood up and said respectfully. Although she lost badly to Tingyi that day, she also lost convincingly.

"What, it's hurt? Is it very strict? Tingyi walked over, saw Chu Yuan nodding to her casually, and continued to rub the bruises on her arms with medicinal oil for Baicao.

"No, just a little bruise."

I don't know why, although Tingyi's tone was very gentle, Baicao felt a strange discomfort, and subconsciously wanted to pull his arm out of Chu Yuan's hand.

Hatsuhara didn't let her dodge, and his warm fingers rubbed the skin on her arm hot, and said, "Wait a minute, it'll be fine right away." ”

"It's okay, don't let me get in your way." Tingyi smiled slightly, "By the way, Baicao, have you had dinner?" ”

"Not yet."

"I made an appointment with Brother Hatsuhara to go out to dinner, why don't you go with us." Tingyi put the book in her hand on the table in the window, it was a few medical books, and then she turned around, her eyes looked at Hatsuhara gently, although she was talking to Baicao, but her expression was as if there were only two people in the room, her and Hatsuhara.

"No need, thank you Tingyi senior."

As soon as Hatsuhara let go of her arm, Hyakusa hurriedly stood up. It turned out that she had delayed the appointment between Hatsuhara's seniors and Tingyi's seniors, she was uneasy, and hurriedly said thank you to Hatsuhara, so she didn't dare to stay for a moment, and ran out like a gust of wind.

"I've seen her a lot lately."

Tingyi smiled and helped Chu Yuan tidy up the things on the table. Maybe it was by chance that she came to him several times in a row, and she saw him with Baicao.

Waited a while.

She didn't hear Hatsuhara's answer.

Looking up in confusion, he found that Hatsuhara was looking out the window, following his line of sight, and in the distance, the back of the girl who had just run out of the wooden house was getting smaller and smaller in the glow.
