Chapter 17 The mountains have trees and branches
Fang Ruo stopped dreamily after jumping over the finish line, she bent over and gasped, feeling that her throat was dry and sore as if it had been cut by a sharp sword, every joint in her body seemed to be disassembled, she was dizzy and swelling and wanted to fall down, but at this time, a strong hand supported her in time, and she subconsciously leaned over.
"Isn't it comfortable, Fang Ruo?" The speaker's voice was so strong that she couldn't remember who it was.
Fang Ruo closed her eyes and shook her head dizzily, she didn't say a word, to be precise, she couldn't breathe, she couldn't speak.
For people who are not very physically fit, the feeling after running is really no less than experiencing extreme sports.
"I'll help her." Fang Ruo heard a familiar voice, and then felt that someone was around her neck, and her hand was on the shoulders of the people around her.
"Don't scare me, Fang Ruo, are you okay?"
"Follow me slowly, slowly."
Fang Ruowei hunched over and leaned against the person next to her, moving her steps tiredly and mechanically, she tried to try her best to breathe smoothly and rapidly.
After walking for a while, she felt conscious, she slowly straightened up, and after focusing her eyes, she saw the person next to her clearly, Xu Zhuo was looking at her with a frown and a worried face.
The two of them were leaning side by shoulder, looking a little funny.
Fang Ruo smiled bitterly and hooked the corners of her mouth, feeling that she was really embarrassed just now, she let go of the hand on his shoulder, and staggered to her feet.
"Please don't laugh, it's worse than crying." Xu Zhuoyuan looked at her pale.
"I'm fine......." Her voice was still breathless.
"Drink some water, Fang Ruo, are you better?" Zheng Yuqian next to her stretched out the water to her.
As soon as the cold water entered her mouth, it flowed through her dry and stinging throat, and fell into her stomach like ice, and she couldn't help but shiver, and finally relieved.
"How many am I?"
"You're second in the group, and you don't know what the total score is." Each group was run by four people, but fortunately she was not the last, Fang Ruo felt a little comforted.
"Very good, you're running fast." Xu Zhuoyuan was afraid that she would not be satisfied, so he hurriedly played a round.
"Didn't you go on a long jump, why were you cheering me on just now?" Fang Ruo pointed to the corner of the playground, where the crowd was gathered around the bunker, and the game was still going on.
"I didn't make it past the preliminaries, so I'm here." Xu Zhuoyuan scratched his head and blushed uncomfortably.
"Oh, it's okay, it's all about participation." Fang Ruo didn't believe it after saying it, the long jump was obviously his strong point, how could he not pass the preliminaries, he wouldn't...?
"You....?"
Fang Ruo wanted to ask before he could finish being interrupted.
"What am I, are you stupid, I'm going back to class, I'm going to prepare for the relay later." Xu Zhuoyuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of confidence,
Fang Ruo had no choice but to give up, "Okay, then you can go back quickly." ”
Xu Zhuoyuan strode forward, and as if he remembered something, he turned to Fang Ruo and said, "You don't look like a duck at all when you run today, but you are a bit like a flying octopus!" After saying that, he stretched out his arms, swayed his body from side to side, and then ran away.
Fang Ruo looked at his distant back, and the thoughts that had just come to him choked back again, blaming himself for thinking too much.
Fang Ruo turned his head and noticed Zheng Yuqian's gaze at him, his eyes were full of cunning without three hundred taels of silver here, Fang Ruo felt a little uncomfortable, did she also think that he was...?
"Ahem, what's wrong? Sissi. Fang Ruo was ready to be questioned by her.
Zheng Yuqian laughed twice, and said mysteriously: "What's the matter with you and Chen Zifan?" ”
Fang Ruo was surprised, his face was dazed, what does this have to do with Chen Zifan, isn't she talking about Xu Zhuoyuan?
"What?" Fang Ruo felt inexplicable.
"Don't pretend, as soon as you finished running just now, Chen Zifan hurriedly went up to help you, Xu Zhuoyuan and I are still a step late." Zheng Yuqian raised her eyebrows, with a smug expression that I found out that she was tired.
It turned out that he was the first to help herself, and she didn't realize it when she was exhausted, but it's nothing, it's just that classmates help each other.
Fang Ruo said disappreciably: "It's better for others, and they are all classmates, so help me." ”
"How can there be a classmate who has been waiting here for a long time, I saw him following us when I accompanied you down before, I thought he was looking for someone, but I didn't expect him to wait here for you to finish running to help you, this is too "kind", why didn't I meet one of such enthusiastic classmates? Zheng Yuqian smiled and squeezed her eyes.
Fang Ruo's face turned red, she looked around weakly, there were many people around the playground, but there was no Chen Zifan, he should be gone.
"Don't look at it, he's already gone, good guy, Xu Zhuoyuan kidnapped you as soon as he saw him help you rush over, Chen Zifan doesn't eat people, I don't know what he's anxious about." Zheng Yuqian was so distressed that she rubbed her arm that was hurt in the crowd just now.
"I see, Chen Zifan must have meant that to you." Zheng Yuqian approached and said in Fang Ruo's ear.
"Don't talk about it, there's no such thing." Fang Ruo pushed her away in shame, but her heartbeat kept accelerating.
In her heart, Chen Zifan is a low-key classmate, every time he runs a blackboard newspaper with him, he is very friendly and gentlemanly, but she doesn't notice that he has any special care or behavior for herself, he is very natural, and he feels very relaxed when chatting with him.
Could it be just a coincidence, maybe he didn't have this idea at all, just out of friendliness between classmates, so don't think too much about it.
Fang Ruo felt calm down again when she thought about it, she returned to the class viewing area with Zheng Yuqian, and Fang Ruo, who was sitting on the chair, finally took a breath.
"How about your "working together"? ”
Zheng Yuqian was full of sadness, "Alas, don't say it, there is no tacit understanding with them at all, the rope tied to my feet has been broken several times, and every time someone makes a mistake with his foot, he almost didn't fall to my death." ”
Fang Ruo looked at her with sympathetic eyes, "Fang Ruo, look, Xu Zhuoyuan is the fourth stick." Zheng Yuqian pointed to Xu Zhuoyuan on the runway not far from them.
He was waiting for the field, changed into a pair of light fluorescent sneakers, very eye-catching, he stretched his body left and right, and then smiled with the team members tacitly hitter.
Xu Zhuoyuan is also dazzling in the crowd, it is difficult not to let people take a second look, clean and refreshing white T-shirt, straight back like a tree, angular jawline, handsome and prominent facial features, short hair, clear and transparent eyes, revealing some childishness, laughing reminds people of a sunny day after the rain, when not laughing, there is a sense of arrogance and coldness of a teenager, at that age, it is still fascinated by many girls who are just beginning to fall in love.
Xu Zhuoyuan knew that his appearance was handsome, but he didn't think it brought him any benefit, the love letters that came out of his schoolbag after returning home, the snacks put by unknown people on the table after the lunch break, or he was called out by his classmates after class, thinking that an acquaintance was looking for him, and he saw that only a few girls he didn't know looked at him with red faces, all kinds of things.
At first he felt a little satisfaction of vanity that he would be welcomed, but after a long time he only found it miserable, and he was tired of these trivial matters, and at first he patiently refused to respond with kindness and politeness, and then he simply turned a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window.
When I got home, I took out the love letter and put it in the storage box but never read it, I don't know who put the snacks on the table, so I first asked who it was, asked a few more times or no one admitted, and then asked if anyone wanted to eat, and the friends and classmates next to him smiled and came to share a share, and then met the one who asked him to go out, he directly asked the classmate who called him to tell the comer, first reported his name and then went out, so that the shy and thin-skinned girls had to leave stupidly, and could only secretly look at him through the window a few times.
When he was young, a boy was excellent and handsome, he also liked to play basketball and loved sports, sunny and energetic, which seemed to satisfy the beautiful fantasies of most girls about the person they liked, although some of Xu Zhuoyuan's performances were not so friendly, they still found him very attractive.
Xu Zhuoyuan walked on the campus road is eye-catching, when he walked into the campus with him, Fang Ruo only felt uncomfortable, countless eyes pierced behind him, he was like a fish on the board, she felt that those resentful eyes were very crazy.
But she had to admit that Xu Zhuoyuan was popular, and she also felt very proud, as if her favorite private items had been discovered by many people to their unique value, but she also felt lost and scared, worried about variables.
But fortunately, Xu Zhuoyuan only thinks about playing ball in addition to studying, and there are no other girl friends around him except herself, Fang Ruo feels relieved again, she knows that her thoughts are selfish, but everyone is selfish, she faces her own selfishness, she just wants to keep him by her side, perhaps, it is okay to be by his side all the time, where he can see.
Fang Ruo thought like this, and actually felt comfortable, Xu Zhuoyuan's friendship with her was unmatched, they were all special people to each other.
Even if he grows up day by day, getting better and better, or will be a talent in suits and leather shoes in the future, in her heart, he is still the boy who likes to make a little temper in front of him and doesn't pay attention to talking and likes to play tricks, he is still a little boy who blows bubblegum paste and naughtily pulls her braids, only she can see his good and his bad.
Fang Ruo watched Xu Zhuoyuan finish running, he still lived up to expectations, cooperated tacitly with the team members, and won a good ranking, and at this time, the "little yellow dot" came to them again.
"Fang Ruo, your 200 meters is the fourth place, although there is no certificate, but it also adds points to the class." Shen Bo smiled and pointed to the scoreboard next to the rostrum.
Fang Ruo smiled politely and thanked her, in fact, she was already very satisfied in her heart, she was worried that she would take the last ranking, she knew her strength, but sometimes she was brave enough to try, and there were unexpected gains.
Later, Xu Zhuoyuan said that at such a tense moment, she also stood on tiptoe to greet him, and she looked stupid with excitement, and he would remember it for the rest of his life.
