Chapter 120: The Second Year of High School
A car stopped on the side of the street outside Dongchuan Middle School, and Xia Xiaoyu was about to get out of the car.
"It's here, Xiaoyu, you can go in by yourself, your parents won't send you." A middle-aged woman sitting in the passenger seat turned around and said to Xia Xiaoyu, who was sitting in the back seat. "There are a lot of cars inside, and the road is narrow, so it's troublesome for your dad to drive in and reverse and turn around......"
"Okay, Mom." Xia Xiaoyu's hand rested on the door handle.
"Eh, open the door and look back, be careful not to hit people...... "The father who was driving reminded him.
"I know, Dad."
When the son pushed open the door and got down with his schoolbag on his back, he stood outside the passenger door and waved to his parents, then turned around and followed the flow of people into the small street where the gate of Dongchuan University was located.
"I really don't know what Xiaoyu thinks, I don't want to leave Jiaxiang going, I have to come here...... No matter how good Dongchuan Middle School is, can it be better than Jiaxiang in Jincheng? The mother turned her head to look in the direction her son ran away and complained.
"Isn't that nice? When the time comes, if he really goes to Jincheng to go to high school, it is estimated that you should be reluctant. Now he is studying at Dongchuan Middle School, and he can see us every day, and we can also keep abreast of his situation. Besides, Dongchuan Middle School is not bad, the best school in Dongchuan. As a husband, Xia Xiaoyu's father persuaded his wife.
"Eh, do you think it's because Jiaxiang High School didn't make it to the national competition this year, so he gave up Jiaxiang High School to come to Dongchuan Middle School? Dongchuan Middle School participated in the national competition this year. Mom asked.
"Who knows...... Okay, so don't worry about that. Let's go, if you don't leave, the traffic police will come to take pictures......"
The husband turned on his turn signal and slowly drove into the crowded traffic.
And their son, at this moment, was standing at the gate of the school, looking up at the four bronze letters on the gate.
"Higashikawa Middle School"
"It's finally here......" he took a deep breath.
In order to attend this school, he turned down Jiaxiang High School in Jincheng. He still remembers the surprised look on the face of the teacher at Jiaxiang High School when he refused to go to Jiaxiang High School.
He also asked himself why he made such a choice.
Xia Xiaoyu didn't tell the truth, but casually made an excuse, he didn't want to leave his parents to go to school in Jincheng, Dongchuan Middle School was close to home, and he could go home every day. If he goes to Jincheng, he will only see his parents once a week.
Faced with such a reason, the teacher in charge of enrollment at Jiaxiang High School was also speechless.
In fact, his decision was not only surprised by Jiaxiang's teachers, but also his parents didn't understand it.
and his cousin, who heard on WeChat that he was not going to study in Jiaxiang, I don't know how disappointed he was.
The real reason for coming to Dongchuan Middle School, Xia Xiaoyu didn't tell anyone.
Because he thinks they won't understand it either.
yes, who would decide to come to this school because of a rookie who has only been involved in football for a semester?
Xia Xiaoyu withdrew his gaze from the name of the school, adjusted the shoulder strap of his schoolbag with his hand, and then followed the other students through the gate of Dongchuan Middle School.
Once on campus, he didn't look for where his classroom was, but walked straight to the school's stadium.
It was an important reason why he chose Dongchuan Middle School, and he wanted to see the place where he would fight in the next three years.

As soon as he walked into the training ground, Xia Xiaoyu was a little surprised to find that there were already people on the football field.
And he still knows this person.
It's the fourteenth.
Later, Xia Xiaoyu found out that his name was "Hu Lai".
He had a rope tied around his waist and a tire tied to the end of the rope that he was dragging around the pitch.
It can be seen from his clenched teeth and the bulging blood vessels on his forehead and neck that this training is not easy at all.
"Damn, is the training of the Dongchuan Middle School football team so hardcore?"
Just beside Xia Xiaoyu, a surprised voice sounded.
Xia Xiaoyu looked over curiously, it was a stocky, slightly taller teenager, he was also wearing the school uniform of Dongchuan Middle School, but inside the loose school uniform jacket, he could see that the T-shirt was strangled, which was the traces of chest muscles and abdominal muscles.
Seeing Xia Xiaoyu coming over, he smiled and said, "My name is Chen Rui, and I came from the twenty-first middle school." ”
"My name is Xia Xiaoyu, from Longyang Middle School." Xia Xiaoyu also responded to him with a smile.
"Longyang Middle School? The school that finished third in the Anton Cup in the junior high school group last year? Your name is Xia Xiaoyu? Wait a minute...... You're that Xia Xiaoyu?! Chen Rui was a little surprised.
Xia Xiaoyu was a little surprised: "You know me? ”
"The midfield core of Longyang Middle School, I've heard of your name, but I didn't expect you to come to Dongchuan Middle School too...... Didn't you say that you were taken by Jiaxiang High School? ”
Xia Xiaoyu scratched his head, and moved out of his set of excuses that he used to declare to the outside world: "Uh, I am reluctant to leave home, I can only come back once a week when I go to school in Jincheng, I don't like ......"
"Hehe, in fact, Dongchuan Middle School is also good. It is also the best middle school in our Dongchuan. Moreover, the football team of Dongchuan Middle School also defeated Jiaxiang and represented Anton in the national competition. When I applied for Dongchuan Middle School, I actually came for the football team. When I was in junior high school, I was the main player of our varsity team, playing in the back. Chen Rui introduced himself very cheerfully.
"I ...... in Longyang Middle School"
"No, you don't need to be introduced, haha, I know it all! I didn't expect you to come to Dongchuan Middle School, and now I hope to participate in the national competition again! Don't you know, when I heard that Luo Kai left the team, I thought that it would be almost impossible for Dongchuan Middle School to beat Jiaxiang High School to go to the national competition......"
Xia Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed by the other party's naked praise, he smiled a little shyly, and then said: "No, although Luo Kai is gone, there is still him in Dongchuan Middle School." ”
As he spoke, he set his eyes on Hulai on the field.
"Him?" Chen Rui stared at the person on the field for a long time, "Who is he?" ”
This time it was Xia Xiaoyu's turn to be a little surprised: "You know so much about Dongchuan Middle School, don't you even know Hu Lai?" ”
"Huh? Is he Hulai? Chen Rui looked at the man on the field who was struggling to pull the tires and run forward in surprise.
"Hmm...... It's not the same as it was at the national level, but he's a Hulai. ”
In fact, when Xia Xiaoyu saw Hu Lai at first sight, he was a little unrecognizable, and it was indeed a big change from what he saw in the Anton Cup final.
The body is a little stronger, and the skin is darker.
"I read about him online, and it was said that when he joined the varsity team last year, he didn't have much exposure to football...... It's hard to believe that in the end, it was he who helped Dongchuan Middle School reach the national competition......"
Hearing the emotion of Chen Rui beside him, Xia Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I was at the scene at the time. ”
Chen Rui turned his head to look at Xia Xiaoyu strangely.
"I watched the game between Dongchuan Middle School and Jiaxiang High School on the spot."
"Wow! Is that what is said on the Internet true? Did Hu Lai really kill Jiaxiang under Wang Guangwei's inseparable defense? Chen Rui asked curiously. Because the Anton Cup matches are not broadcast live, he can only learn about the matches through the posts made by others on the Internet.
However, netizens' posts, relying only on words and pictures, always have exaggerations.
For example, at the beginning, some people said that this Hu Lai scored a goal to kill Jiaxiang under Wang Guangwei's inseparable defense.
This post was sprayed to death - the player who was targeted by Wang Guangwei can still score? Haven't you even watched Wang Guangwei's game!
Who is Wang Guangwei? Can be scored by a nobody?
Chen Rui also felt that this post was too exaggerated at first, but later there were more and more statements like this, and he was a little unsure.
Now that I've met someone at the scene, I'm sure I'll want to make sure it's confirmed.
Xia Xiaoyu nodded: "Yes, Wang Guangwei has been staring at him, in fact, most of the time the defense is successful, that is, the last...... In the end, he found the chance to score. ”
"It's incredible...... Chen Rui muttered as he looked at Hu Lai, who was dragging the tires on the field and sprinting. Wang Guangwei is now a professional player playing in the shining stars, and Hulai can actually score goals under his defense......"
'He's also scored three goals in the national tournament. After Luo Kai left, Dongchuan Middle School's score should depend on him. Xia Xiaoyu looked at Hu Lai on the field and said.

Hulai finally finished his training with the tires in his hands, and before he could even untie the rope, he collapsed to the ground, lying on all fours, a pair of dead fish eyes staring at the sky, gasping for air.
Today is obviously the first day of high school, the day I came to the school to report, and there was no class.
But at the request of Li Ziqiang, he still came to the school in advance and accepted the "opening training package gift package" prepared for him by the coach.
The coach said that it was for his own good, so that he would not be overly indulgent during the summer vacation, resulting in a substandard physical condition.
As for why he was the only one in the team who needed to do this, the coach told him that because he was the vice-captain, he had to lead by example.
Hu Lai wanted to say to the coach: Coach, you should ask Gao Ming to take back this vice captain, I am not the material to be the captain at all!
But he had no strength to speak now.
When he was gasping for breath, Li Ziqiang walked up to him, then squatted down, looked at him carefully and said, "It seems that you have maintained a good body this summer, and you haven't grown much fat." ”
Hulai grinned, but still couldn't say a word.
Then he patted Hulai on the shoulder: "Okay, enough rest, right?" Get up, it's time to practice heading. Don't be lazy on the first day of training in your sophomore year of high school, and get your sophomore year off to a good start! ”
Hulai gasped, gritted his teeth and got up from the pitch, took off the rope that was still tied to his body, and walked towards the penalty area.
In the penalty area, a training dummy stand has been set up, more than one person tall, standing in front of the goal to indicate the position of the defender.
Li Ziqiang went to the side, took out a football from the net pocket, blew the whistle in his mouth, and then passed the football to the goal.
The ball flew into the penalty area in the air, and Hulai ran towards the spot where the ball landed, then went around the dummy in the box and jumped up to head the ball.
When he jumped up, the football flew right in front of his head, and I saw him in the air with his waist and abdomen, shaking his head to attack the goal!
Boom!
The ball was pushed into the goal by him, and there was a crisp sound of grinding against the net.
Swish!
