Sprint, sprint!

After more than half a year of daily training, Lu Ke has gradually adapted to the rhythm and intensity of variable speed endurance running, and now for him, changing speed is not difficult at all, but further challenging the frequency of variable speed, as well as the speed limit in the process of changing speed. Today, Lu Ke let go of his hands and feet and made every effort to the extreme.

In the midst of the gallop, there was a whirring wind in my ears, and the faster I ran, I completely entered the state of a 100-meter sprint; Although it is said that it is not so easy to catch up with it by three seconds, Lu Ke is still shortening the distance little by little, and after about ninety meters, the girl is already close at hand.

Lu Ke slowed down slightly, and after catching up, he walked side by side with the other party.

This small gesture seemed to stimulate the girl's determination to challenge the limit, gritted her teeth, and began to speed up again; However, this is obviously a challenge impossible, how can an ordinary girl and a college professional football player form a confrontation?

Lu Ke just accelerated slightly, followed the girl's side steadily, never fell behind or surpassed, the two of them ran side by side like this, no matter how hard the girl tried, she couldn't get rid of Lu Ke, after a short outburst, the speed gradually slowed down, and after persisting for about 1,500 meters, the girl's endurance and physical strength reached the extreme, and finally had to stop.

It's not that easy to run at a different speed.

Lu Ke still didn't stop, just turned around, gave the girl a look, smiled, and continued to run forward after the footsteps passed. Today's 10,000-meter run is not yet complete.

The girl stood in place, walking slowly, slowly, adjusting her breathing, watching Lu Ke's back gradually drifting away, helplessly looking up at the sky, exhaling a long breath, her blue eyes rolled a big white eye, full of helplessness, and then pursed her mouth and complained, "Bambi, that beast." ”

If you think about it, Bambi is one of the beasts. So, that's true.

Lu Ke's rhythm was not disturbed, and he still followed the plan, and after going around in a circle, he returned to the training ground and meticulously completed today's running training task. This time, though, instead of walking towards the pitch, he slowly walked to the stands.

In the stands, the girl's right elbow was supported on the knee, and then her chin was dragged, her upper body leaned forward, her cheeks were filled with a curious and inquiring look, and her soft lips were slightly pursed and glowed with pink; The sweat stains on the forehead that have not yet dried completely reveal the brilliance of health and vitality, and the eyes are bright and bright.

Behind it was bathed in a golden sun, as if all the light and all the brilliance fell into those blue eyes, sparkling and beautiful.

At this time, she was looking at the sweaty Lu Ke condescendingly, her full lips outlining a graceful arc, "The training task is complete?" It didn't seem to be surprising at all, Lu Ke's persistent running behavior just now had already been surprised, "Is it my delusion?" I think you're training more now? ”

"I didn't have any other options to adapt to the higher intensity of the game." Lu Ke spread his hands and put on a helpless expression.

The girl didn't give any face, and complained, "I think you should enjoy it." You should have masochistic tendencies. The determined tone carried a hint of ridicule and a hint of disgust, and with the upward eyeballs, her emotions were expressed vividly.

Lu Ke still had a smile on his face, he didn't panic or explain, but said calmly, "That girl who trained and worked out to the point of dehydration and didn't know it, just said so." ”

"Once! And that's just once! The girl drooped her shoulders, stuck out her tongue exaggeratedly, made an expression of "heaven, earth", and sighed heavily, "Can't we open that page?" Bambi, the world is already so hard, let's not hurt each other, okay? "That eccentric appearance makes people laugh.

That posture of playing treasure made Lu Ke shake his head, frown, and retreat again and again, "Hey, do we know each other?" The evasive expression was so real that the girl grinded her teeth secretly, and finally looked at Lu Ke in front of her, and could only raise her hands to show her surrender, "Peace, how about it?" ”

"Peace, are you sure? Why do I feel like I've won big today? Lu Ke was still inch in, and then he saw the girl's bearded and glaring expression, and he also accepted it when he saw it, "Peace, of course, peace." Today it was a tie again. ”

The girl rolled her eyes and folded her hands over her chest, as if to say, "You'd better take it when you see it." ”

This time, Lu Ke didn't continue to speak, honestly closed his mouth, bypassed the runway, walked up to the stands, and then sat down beside the girl, handed over the towel tied around his waist, and explained, "It's clean." ”

Seeing that the girl took the towel, Lu Ke chuckled and said, "When did you come back to Los Angeles?" You didn't mention it in the last email, otherwise, I would have driven to the airport to pick you up. ”

"Didn't you know that I came back to Los Angeles to look for you? What do you think? Impressed, right? The girl wiped the sweat from her forehead loudly, pushed her elbow against Lu Ke's arm, and said with a bright face.

The smile on the corner of Lu Ke's mouth rose, "Well, I'm very moved." ”

Such an affirmative answer made the girl stunned, "Hey, you just nodded and accepted it like this, what should I do with my next routine?" ”

"Go with the flow." Lu Ke's answer made the girl choke in her throat in one breath, stunned, and the stunned expression made Lu Ke laugh happily.

The girl sitting next to her is Candice-Swanepoel, a model and a rising star.

Candace, who was born in South Africa, met a talent scout at the age of 14 and entered the modeling industry. From an unknown little model, step by step to today's position, her career finally began to flourish.

The encounter between Candace and Lu Ke was an unexpected encounter.

In the summer of 2004, after finishing the eighth grade, before officially entering high school, Lu Ke obtained the consent of his parents, put on a backpack and bag, and embarked on a self-challenging journey to the Pacific Ridge National Trail to start hiking.

Known as the Pacific Ridge Trail, this trail is one of the most difficult hikes, taking four to six months to complete, passing through 25 national forests and seven national parks, and is definitely one of the toughest extreme challenges.

For the first time to challenge the hike, Lu Ke naturally did not challenge the whole course without his might, but chose the section in California, passing through Sequoia National Park and Yosemite National Park, and the whole journey is expected to be completed in about 15 to 20 days.

During one of the wild routes, Lu Ke stumbles upon Candace and her companions. At that time, Candace's companion sprained his ankle, and most of the drinking water was accidentally knocked over, and he was in a crisis, in a dilemma, and Lu Ke, who happened to be passing by, extended a helping hand.

Lu Ke first helped treat his sprained ankle, then shared some drinking water and some food, and then continued on his own road, arriving at the official supply depot and campsite, and notifying professional rescue personnel, who went back to provide assistance.

That night, Lu Ke and Candace and her friends were reunited at the campsite.

Out of genuine gratitude, and out of the same age, the three young men talked.

One is a Chinese kid with a football dream, looking forward to becoming the first Chinese American player in history to enter the NFL; One is a rural girl from a poor town in South Africa, eager to make a career in the highly competitive modeling industry; The other is an ordinary girl from a backward town in the middle of the United States, hoping to make a place in Hollywood.

Three young people with dreams, even unrealistic and unrealizable ethereal dreams, gathered together; Moreover, with different ideas and purposes, they embarked on the Pacific Ridge Trail, and under the pull of fate, accidents and occasional accidents really talked about each other.

That night, the three of them talked with candles and nights. Candace's little friend couldn't survive at first and entered the dream; Lu Ke and Candace sat outside the camp, bathed in starlight, chatting for most of the night, until the sky was slightly bright, and the two fell asleep one after another.

The next day, after Lu Ke got up, he went on the road again; The two girls were too weak after all, and one of them had an ankle injury, so they stayed at the campsite to rest and adjust for a few days, and then set out on the journey according to the situation.

It was just a chance encounter. After that, there was no connection between them. In 2004, social networks had not yet emerged, and email and MSN were still the mainstream, so they did not leave contact information, so naturally they could not find each other.

The acquaintance of Lu Ke and Candace was another accident.

In the spring of 2005, Candace traveled to San Francisco for a model audition and unexpectedly met Lu Ke in Union Square. At that time, Lu Ke was working part-time, and his salary could be about tripled for a part-time job on Valentine's Day; So, Lu Ke wore a teddy bear suit, handed out balloons and roses in Union Square, and beckoned guests to enter Macy's.

At that time, Candace was pestered by a strange man, who kept following Candace and asking for a phone; Candace repeatedly refused, but the other party lingered. Lu Ke pretended to be Candace's boyfriend, fell from the sky, specially prepared a surprise event, offered roses, and then drove away the strange man.

This is their second encounter. This time, they exchanged email addresses and became friends.

In the blink of an eye, six years have passed.

In the past two years, she has attracted countless attention, and in 2009, at the age of 21, she became one of the five new angels of "Victoria's Secret"; In 2010, that is, last year, she officially completed the contract and became a Victoria's Secret catwalk model, winning the opportunity to appear on the annual fashion show, and the upward momentum is quite unstoppable.

And Lu Ke has just experienced the draft and unfortunately became a rookie.
