Chapter 7: Who is the Captain?
"Okay, assembled. The number of people has been counted, and there is no shortage of one. Teacher Zhu said.
Not missing one? Don't...
Zhao Bai'an looked at the back of the team carefully as if he had some premonition.
Really! Yang Zichen, a small man, stood at the back of the team, and he didn't see it if he wasn't paying attention.
That's too strong, isn't it? From the time the four of them left the dormitory to now the assembly, more than ten minutes or so had passed. Besides, before they left, she was obviously asleep like a wood and couldn't wake up, could it be that she was pretending to be asleep before? But there's no reason for that. So the only possibility left is that Yang Zichen woke up at some point after they left, and immediately judged the situation, and finally arrived before the gathering.
This is a bit of an exaggeration.
"Ahem. I'm sure you slept well last night! We provide you with pine beds and high-quality mattresses imported from New Zealand. Teacher Zhu's words drew Zhao Bai'an's attention back, "Since you have recuperated your spirits, you will start today's activities after eating." ”
"I'm sure you're going to enjoy this project as much as you enjoyed yesterday's cleaning competition."
No, no one said they liked it very much, Zhao Baian didn't want to be another big cleaning today.
Em, though tiring, is a good way to quickly get closer to strangers.
"So, Dangdang, today's competition project is-" Teacher Zhu likes to sell Guanzi as always, but the students have almost no special expectations after yesterday's baptism, "Dragon Boat Racing!" ”
"Wow~~~" As soon as Teacher Zhu's voice fell, the classmates immediately began to get excited, and even Zhao Baian was a little eager to try, but she really lost to her. It's completely different from yesterday's announcement of the project. Is this also an instruction from Uncle Principal? What a weird uncle who likes to control the atmosphere of the scene and has fun with it!
Zhao Baian personally thinks that dragon boat racing is a very good project. Sports are indeed a panacea for quick bonding between acquaintances. Compared with traditional projects, similar to basketball games, soccer games, etc., require certain skills, and not everyone can integrate well. Also, the cases of injuries that can be caused are very common. Compared with ordinary competitions such as running and badminton, it will not be too boring and uninspiring.
Not bad, dragon boat racing.
In particular, yesterday's project was more like getting acquainted with girls and boys, while today is a team of people.
Moreover, a person like Zhao Bai'an, who has no physical strength, even if he is a little lazy, is harmless, and he can still perfectly feel the atmosphere of the game. That's right, that's the most important part!
*******
"Well, as you know, the geographical location of our school is surrounded by water on three sides, so the rules of the race are very simple, from one side of the water to the other, that is, from the start to the finish. Regardless of the method, the first of the eight teams to arrive will be the winner! "However, the most important thing is to remember that you must not make personal attacks, you must not hurt your opponent, although I do encourage you to pursue victory, but you must never cross the line, and you must pay attention to safety." ”
Because of the special geographical location of the school, the straight-line distance between the starting point and the end point can be said to be very close compared to the water distance, and it will take about ten minutes to walk faster, and it is estimated that it will take an hour to walk by water.
Everyone came to the starting point, and there were eight long dragon boats lined up on the water, each with a dragon head with an open mouth on the bow. After everyone saw the dragon boat with their own eyes, the atmosphere was further ignited, and the sound of admiration was endless.
Could it be that the school built a boat for this project? Although Zhao Bai'an has long known that Haichuan University is not stingy with students, it is too exaggerated to do this.
"Because eight ships can't be exactly the same, and you can't have eight ships overlapping each other and departing from the same place. So you have ten minutes for each team to elect a team leader and come up and draw lots. Teacher Zhu shook the lottery box in his hand, "Decide your respective dragon boats by drawing lots." ”
It's only ten minutes, and it's a bit difficult to decide on the captain, and everyone basically doesn't know each other. But anyway, everyone doesn't know each other, so it doesn't matter who you choose.
Each group gathered separately.
"Then let's introduce ourselves first?" A boy in Zhao Bai'an's group proposed so.
"No, it's only ten minutes, there shouldn't be that time." Another boy spoke out against it.
"Hmm, how do you choose?"
"Well, if no one wants to be the captain, how about I?" It was the leading girl who let them go out yesterday to discuss cleaning the area.
"Eh~ But I also want to be the captain."
!
This voice is a little familiar, Zhao Baian followed the voice and looked, it was Yang Zichen.
Why are you so positive, Zhao Baian complained secretly in his heart.
Em, two people who volunteered, and it seems that they are not giving in to each other, how can this be decided?
"Then you all introduce yourselves, and then everyone can vote." So said the boy who had spoken out against it before.
In such a time-critical situation, it is a good solution.
"Then I'll start first." The girl from the leadership department spoke, "My name is Mona, and I used to be the president of the student council in junior high school and high school. He has held many sports meetings and has rich experience in how to arrange personnel and team division. ”
I've always been the president of the student council, I see. It seems that Mona will inevitably appear in the student union of the university in the future. The self-introduction is very concise, just two sentences, but it can be said that it has reached the point, concise and clear. Yang Zichen is a little bad.
"Then it's me. Hello everyone, I'm Yang Zichen. It's okay for everyone to call me Zichen. In exchange, I would like to take this opportunity to get to know all of you, and I would like to ask you all to say your names as well~"
This will be opposed, right? That boy was against it just now.
"Well, although I think it's a bit of a waste of time to do this, but, hello, I'm Wang Yichuan." The boy who had retorted just now said with a slight hesitation.
It worked?
"I'm Rong Zhengde."
"I'm Xiao Gao!"
"Ah, I'm Fu He'an."
"I'm Yu Honghou!"
The boys began to scramble to announce their names.
Ahh Is that what happened? Even if everyone feels that it is a waste of time and the meaning is unclear, they still can't wait to say their names.
Was it to respond to her request, or to be more precise, to talk to her?
It seems that Zhao Bai'an's previous worries and predictions were completely wrong, and even a little redundant.
Petite, cute, lively, and a beautiful girl with tear moles Yang Zichen captured the hearts of boys as soon as she came up.
If it's usual, you have to find a time to talk. What's more, now it is Yang Zichen who takes the initiative to ask for his name, of course, he is scrambling to answer.
After the thirteen boys had finished reporting, the girls followed suit and said all their names.
But what's the point of everyone reporting their names once, more than 20 people chattered and replied in a mess, and they couldn't remember much at all, and they could even get confused. What was the name of that upright boy in the first place? It seems to be Xiao Yichuan, no, it seems to be Wang Honghou.
Although the boys are indeed very likely to vote for Yang Zichen, plus Zhao Baian will also give Yang Zichen, maybe Huang Han will too. But it is not excluded that some boys will still give their tickets to Mona. It's still a close stalemate.
"Wang Yichuan, Yu Honghou, Zhao Bai'an, Mona, Fu He'an, Ma Zimei, Xiao Gao......"
Hey? Yang Zichen, according to the order of random order, as if having fun, turned in a circle, and reported the names of everyone present word for word, one by one.
Unexpectedly? How good is the memory?
Although Zhao Bai'an doesn't know if she is a person who never forgets, she is far from being a person who can do this level.
"I think because this is a special situation, we don't know each other yet, and we don't even know our names. But when rowing a dragon boat, it would be better if the conductor could know what everyone was called. For example, the third boy on the left pays attention to the rhythm! It's definitely not comparable, well, Xiao Gao! Pay attention to the rhythm. Let's be effective. "The boy named Xiao Gao was clever, as if he was named by the teacher in class.
"So, I think it's better for me to be the captain of this event, right?" Yang Zichen showed his talent in a timely manner, and the conditions for throwing out the leader easily won everyone's recognition.
Although it is a question sentence, after some "performance" just now, basically everyone recognized Yang Zichen's qualifications.
I see. At the moment of jumping out, do you already have complete certainty? Looks like a very interesting person.
"I'm sorry, little Mona~" After confirming that he became the captain, Yang Zichen folded his hands and apologized to Mona.
"It's okay, that's the case, you do have a slight advantage." It seems that Mona is also very sensible.
"But," Mona continued, "you won't be able to beat me next time if you're well prepared. ”
Sure enough, Mona is a person with a strong desire to win.
"Good! Captains are invited to come and draw lots. It seems that ten minutes have passed, and Mr. Zhu clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.
Zhao Bai'an's team drew the fifth dragon boat, which was in the middle. She didn't know if it was good or bad, and after the dragon head planted the flag representing their team's colors, the game was about to start.
"Hey, Zichen." Zhao Bai'an walked up to her and greeted her familiarly.
"Ah~ah~little~an~ Why did you leave me in the morning!" Yang Zichen complained with a teary look, "When I woke up, there was no one!" I was scared to death, I thought I was still dreaming. When I looked out the window, everyone was outside. ”
Hey, you still have the face to say, I called you for more than ten minutes, and I won't wake up at all!
"Why do you want to be the captain?" Zhao Baian decided to ignore her coquettishness.
"Because, it feels like it's going to be fun!" Yang Zichen looked full of interest.
"But have you figured out what to do when the time comes? It's about to start, so there's no time to discuss. ”
"Well, I've thought it all out, wrap it all around me. Will definitely take the first place! ”
"You don't have to fight so hard, I think everyone else seems to be very strong, and it is estimated that it will take more than forty minutes to row at the earliest."
"It's okay, I'll definitely take the first place!" Yang Zichen was full of interest and confidence, and felt that he didn't listen to what Zhao Bai'an was saying at all. However, maybe she can indeed take the first place, just as confident that she can be a captain of the team.
"We weren't able to discuss the battle plan because of the timing, but I had some personal ideas and I thought it was pretty good. I hope everyone can listen to my command in the process of waiting for the game~ Thank you! Yang Zichen clasped his hands together again, cute and at the same time quite a leader.
