Chapter 12: This Time It's Real
For the next period of time, the mask classmate was Moriyama, and he insisted on running with Zhao Bai'an every day.
The relationship between the two people is getting better and better, although they are separated by a mask, but this way of getting along has lasted for a long, long time. Zhao Bai'an didn't know how long it was, she only knew that there was a circle of runways under their feet.
From the moment Moriyama went to the playground to talk to Zhao Bai'an, she had an inexplicable sense of peace of mind and dependence on him in her heart, and she was used to having him by her side. And Moriyama is also very concerned about her, cares about everything, and often encourages her by her side.
Although running is a painful thing for Zhao Bai'an's body every day, in this relaxed and happy mood, her distress has been alleviated a lot, and every step forward seems to be more motivated.
I don't know how long it has been, Zhao Bai'an has gradually gained self-confidence, and her running ability has gradually improved. Although this level still can't surpass other students, she can barely pass, this is her own cognition, and she is satisfied with it.
And Moriyama, who practiced with her, thought that if Zhao Baian was in good shape, he would achieve better results, and even said that he could break through himself and surpass him in the future.
Of course, Zhao Bai'an knew in her heart that this was just Moriyama's encouragement to herself, and she didn't take it too seriously.
They just practiced together. Time seems to stand still, and what seems to be a constant pace of progress is actually just going around in circles; And time seems to be accelerating, everything seems to have just begun, and it seems that a long road has been walked in the hearts of the two.
Zhao Bai'an just thought, ran, and moved forward. The wind in her ears became more and more whirring, and the scenery began to recede rapidly for some reason, faster and faster, faster and faster, and with her running steps, it sped away so quickly. The appearance of the school playground had disappeared from Zhao Bai'an's surroundings, and Moriyama didn't know where he had gone, leaving only a fast-flowing band of light.
Zhao Bai'an She was still running and running, and the scenery in front of her suddenly became clear again, and she came to a strange and somewhat familiar campus, and there were many students lined up not far away.
Zhao Bai'an stepped forward so ghostly, and when she saw the sign in front of her that read "High School Entrance Examination Sports Registration Office", she reacted with a spirit, it turned out that she had come to the time when she had been preparing for a long time.
Every student must register before they can officially enter the school's playground and running track.
Zhao Bai'an stood at the door and looked at the environment inside, this strangeness, not only the strangeness of the environment, but also the strangeness of the future that she could not grasp, made her suddenly feel very nervous.
She was alone in the crowd of people queuing at the school gate, and Moriyama rode here as he usually went to school. After seeing Zhao Bai'an, he immediately parked the car, and then slowly approached her.
Zhao Bai'an hadn't noticed it at this time, and her gaze was a little sloppy. It wasn't until Moriyama stood in front of her and greeted her that she came to her senses.
"How does it feel? Today is the time to accept the results, come on! Moriyama encouraged her in Zhao Bai'an's ear.
Zhao Bai'an turned back to Moriyama with a polite, but seemingly somewhat distorted smile. Because she was really nervous at this time, she couldn't smile if she wanted to, so she could only give a fake smile.
Seeing this, Moriyama continued to encourage on the side: "Have you forgotten what I said? If you're nervous, you're going to play badly. β
Zhao Baian couldn't help but complain after listening to Moriyama's words: "Alas, both of us have been running for a semester, haven't I won against you yet?" β
"Haha." Moriyama listened to a snort, and then flicked her little brain, "That's naturally the difference between men and women!" You're already pretty good among you girls, and even if you don't believe in yourself, you have to trust me, right? Good no good? β
"Enm ......"
"Besides, didn't we have an agreement before? If you do well in the high school entrance examination and physical education, I will take off my mask, is this going to be invalidated? β
"No, no, no, of course it works." When Zhao Bai'an heard this, he hurriedly said, "But how can I do well in the exam?" β
The corners of Moriyama's blurred face curled upward: "Then naturally I have the final say." β
"Humph!" Zhao Bai'an was in no mood to joke with him, and now she was nervous or nervous in her heart, and she could even be described as nervous.
As the long line walked towards the school, they soon came to the playground where they were running.
It seemed that all the school grounds were similar, and there were rows of watching seats, so she and Moriyama found a place to sit. Then quietly wait for the teacher to call out their names and go to get the number plate and the project registration form, after all, the high school entrance examination is not just about running.
Zhao Baian sat in place and began to look around nervously, while Moriyama watched from the side. He felt the same way, and his heart was actually a little anxious. But what he knows better is that what he has to do at this time is to send encouragement to Zhao Baian and help her tide over the difficulties.
After thinking about it for a while, it suddenly occurred to him that he still had a bottle of Red Bull drink in his bag. I went to the convenience store to buy it for Zhao Bai'an on the way here, and I just forgot about it by such a mess.
Moriyama put his hand into the black schoolbag, took out the bottle of Red Bull drink, and handed it to Zhao Bai'an. Zhao Baian turned around and took the drink, she actually didn't even look at what the other party handed over. Now her heart is all on the runway, and she can't pay attention.
Zhao Bai'an just took it casually, and then she forgot that the bottle of drink had been holding in her hand.
"Ahem, ahem." Moriyama looked a little helpless from the sidelines, so he deliberately faked a cough.
At this time, Zhao Baian remembered and glanced back at Moriyama next to him.
Moriyama couldn't help but chuckle, to be honest, he now felt that Zhao Bai'an was not here to test, and that state seemed to be about to go to the rhythm of the guillotine. He had no choice but to continue to comfort on the side: "You really don't need to worry so much, your state will directly affect your grades at that time, so let's do it with me." Whewβ"
Zhao Bai'an listened to Moriyama's words at this time, and she did so.
"Whew-w-w-" It was really strange to say, and after doing this a few times, her heartbeat seemed to have eased, as if she really didn't feel that nervous.
Moriyama then pointed to Zhao Bai'an's hand, then held Zhao Bai'an's hand with both hands, and handed the Red Bull drink she was holding in front of her again.
At this time, Zhao Bai'an saw clearly what was in his hand.
She didn't know much about these things because she had never drunk the drink before. Moriyama also knew some of Zhao Bai'an's habits, so he specially explained: "This is a functional drink, it can be like a stimulant, filling you with endless power in a short period of time." β
"Doping ......" Hearing Moriyama say this, Zhao Bai was full of curiosity.
"It's just a metaphor, don't think about it." Moriyama took the drink from her hand, opened it with a click, and then stuffed it back into her hand.
Zhao Bai'an's attention was finally successfully attracted, she took the drink and took a big sip, but the taste made her want to complain very much, she really felt that this thing was so bad that it exploded.
She almost didn't spit out a mouthful of water, but considering that Moriyama specially prepared it for herself, she still reluctantly swallowed it.
"How do you feel? Is it delicious! Moriyama asked her with great interest
"This ...... Are you asking me to tell the truth? It's really... It's not very tasty, how does this taste remind me of cough syrup! β
Zhao Bai'an complained on the side, and her slightly humorous answer made Moriyama couldn't help but laugh out loud again: "Hahaha, what kind of description do you have!" β
Zhao Bai'an saw that Moriyama looked like he knew it well, and he had a feeling of being tricked: "Did you already know that I don't like to drink this!" Say! Is it intentional?! β
"Hey~ You don't want to spew blood!" Moriyama jokingly shirked, "You don't know yourself, how can I know?" Right? β
"Enm ......"
"Okay, isn't your nervousness better now?" Moriyama seemed to give another smile, but Zhao Bai'an couldn't see it really, she just felt so.
As long as he's around, everything seems to be fine. Zhao Bai'an has no basis, but she also feels the same.
She suddenly had a feeling that she had to drink. So Zhao Bai'an raised the drink in his hand again, and then drank it all in one go, without even panting during the period.
When she finished drinking, she seemed to be a little more settled.
