40 But the heart is not cheap
On the third floor of the KTV in Sumire, Tu Mochu leaned against the window and smoked. None of them went to today's evening self-study, and when they looked out of the window, they could see the bright lights of the teaching building of No. 6 Middle School.
Tu Mochu suddenly had an impulse to take a look at her current life and take a look at it from afar.
"It would be nice if Sumire could add a disco." Hua Zhipeng beckoned, "Brother Mo, come over and drink." ”
Tu Mochu turned around, and a group of demons were dancing in the KTV, and the sixth middle school in the distance was bright and peaceful. He said, "I'll go down and walk." ”
Tu Mochu walked slowly to the sixth middle school, and Zhuang Yi in the distance saw him, his heart beat faster, "Tu Mochu!" She trotted over, "Y-Why did you come to the sixth middle school?" ”
Tu Mochu stopped, thanks to his excellent memory, he remembered this Jing Lin's roommate.
The young man in front of him was quite cold, Zhuang Yi didn't know why, looking directly at him was much more nervous than lying to Bai Wei. Her face slowly turned red under the gaze of those dark eyes, and her tone couldn't help but soften, "Last time, thank you for helping me." ”
Zhuang Yi bit her lip and looked at him secretly. Tu Mochu replied lightly: "Hmm." He was silent for a moment and asked, "Are you in class?" ”
It is true that in class, Zhuang Yi is the representative of the biology class, and she left the classroom because she had to help the teacher go to the office to get the test papers.
The young man's eyes were always looking at the teaching building, and Zhuang Yi's heart sank. She asked tentatively, "Are you here to find Jing Lin?" "Last time Xu Donghu was a liar, it was the news that Jing Lin brought back.
Tu Mochu didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, he didn't like to answer questions from meaningless people, and he didn't have any patience for Zhuang Yi, so he walked away from her.
Zhuang Yi felt very sad. She has been dreaming these few nights, and in her dream she met Tu Mochu in "Sumire", and he said a few words carelessly, which frightened Xu Donghu and fled. In her heart, this cold and powerful teenager made her unforgettable.
Zhuang Yi's love is at the beginning of her life, and she is far more aware of what she likes than the ignorant Jing Lin. The acid in her heart was about to turn into poisonous juice. Why, why Jing Lin again?
The anger in her heart made Zhuang Yi run a few steps forward and catch up with Tu Mochu, "We are in class, Jing Lin is helping the teacher correct the test papers." ”
Tu Mochu heard Jing Lin's name and stopped.
Zhuang Yi pretended to be brisk and said: "You are Jing Lin's friend, let me tell you quietly, there will be a surprise the day after tomorrow." ”
"The autumn marathon the day after tomorrow, Bancao Baiwei in the first class wants to confess to us Linlin, and Linlin received his love letter, which many people don't know."
Tu Mochu looked back, the night was dark, and the emotions in his eyes were even more obscure than this dark night, "She accepted it?" ”
Zhuang Yi's fingers clenched tightly, "Yes." Have you ever met Bai Wei? They are quite a good match, he really likes Linlin, knowing that he will be punished, he decided to confess in public, and there are a few people who finish the marathon every year, just this heart, Linlin will be very moved. ”
Tu Mochu was silent for a long time, he didn't go to the teaching building again, but turned around and walked out of the school gate.
Zhuang Yi lied about this for the second time, without the panic and nervousness of the first time, and said it calmly as if it were true. She looked at the young man's long back and felt unspeakable feelings. If he believes it, he will either take the initiative to quit or fight for it strongly, and only Jing Lin or Bai Wei will be hurt.
Zhuang Yi returned to the classroom and looked at Jing Lin, who was studying quietly, with a strong expectation in her heart. The marathon will be held the day after tomorrow, Bai Wei confessed, and Jing Lin will have a scandal whether she refuses or not. Did she let Bai Wei make a fool of herself in front of all her classmates, or did she promise to accept punishment with him?
The banner of the fall marathon is raised. Students who don't participate in the competition also help, and volunteers don their school uniforms and wear badges and get ready to go.
The race from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain is very much in line with the spirit of the marathon to challenge oneself, surpass the limit, and never give up.
As long as the students who participate and reach the finish line within the specified time, the organizer will give a commemorative award, so the students are very enthusiastic about signing up. It's just that the venue of this competition is close to the No. 3 and No. 6 middle schools, and there are more students participating in these two schools than in previous years, while the other schools are relatively few people because of the distance.
Zhuo Ting, president of the student union, walked at the front and beckoned volunteers from the first and second years of high school to get on the bus. The junior high school students who were preparing for the college entrance examination did not participate in such an event, and Zhuo Ting, as the president, had no way to evade responsibility.
Zhuo Ting was almost tired of becoming a dog, and muttered, "Why do I have to suffer this kind of crime as a junior in high school, there are so few volunteers this year, so I have to catch strong men, and I am not popular with the people." ”
Jing Lin happened to be during her period and chose to volunteer. Although she is usually quiet, she also likes to participate in various group activities.
Chang Zi and Zhou Lina signed up for the marathon, and they planned to complete the marathon and win a commemorative medal. Zhou Lina also brought a water cup smartly, and Jing Lin took it off for her, "You don't need to bring this, it will be very tiring, there will be volunteers preparing glucose water every other distance, if you are thirsty, remember to drink it." ”
"Okay, Linlin, you have to cheer me on."
Zhuang Yi walked up to Zhuo Ting and asked, "Lord, can you let me and Jing Lin go to the top of the mountain?" We all want to go up and see it, please! ”
Zhuo Ting is hearty, thinking that Jing Lin helped so much last time, it is not a big deal to transfer the position of a volunteer, "Come on, be smart, it's not easy to run to the top of the mountain, help me." ”
Zhuang Yi hurriedly replied, "No problem." ”
The volunteers got on the bus and arrived at the designated place early, and the contestants gathered at the bottom of the mountain.
The loudspeaker said: "Students, please pay attention to the competition, there are a total of six drinking points in the entire section for each participant to replenish water, and for the sake of fairness, there are judges who will record the results in sections." ”
Hua Zhipeng and Jiang Da, who were originally discussing riding an electric car, sighed and were relatively speechless.
The foot of the mountain is crowded with people. Since it can be used as a marathon venue, the mountain is not steep, but it is a long way to spiral upward, and it is a struggle for endurance.
Jiang Da turned his head, his face full of surprise, "Brother Mo? ”
Tu Mochu nodded at them.
"Are you running too? But you didn't sign up, and there was no reward for winning. "There's no reward, there's no honor, so it's a ball of yarn.
Tu Mochu raised his head and looked at the top of the mountain from afar, "Just run." ”
Volunteers bring water, glucose and paper cups to their positions at the various supply points.
On an October morning, the mountain breeze is slightly cold. At the sound of an order, the students rushed out.
At the beginning of the game, everyone was always full of passion, but they couldn't predict what kind of long and lonely awaited them afterwards.
Tu Mochu adjusted his pace, moving as evenly as he could, the wind blowing through his short hair and exposed arms. The crowd gradually dispersed, and at first there were many people around, but after passing the second drinking point, there were significantly fewer people.
He gasped for air, and the residual leg that came into contact with the prosthesis began to ache, constantly reminding him that he should give up. But I don't know if it's because he is unwilling or wants to try his best to fight for it, he keeps moving forward with the same pace.
Bai Wei's speed as a healthy person must be faster than him, Tu Mo thought of this at the beginning, and wasted a little time without drinking water halfway.
The third drinking point, the fourth drinking point...... The road gradually became that he walked alone. He wasn't number one, but the distance was so wide that there were hardly any other competitors to be seen along the way. Sweat wet his black hair and eyelashes, and the pain in his stump made him snort, probably wearing out.
Finally arrived at the fifth drinking point, and the volunteer saw that his sweat had wet his entire back, "Classmate, drink some water." ”
Tu Mochu ignored it and ran towards the top of the mountain in one go.
After fitting the prosthesis, he looked like a normal person, he could box, he could play, he could run, but at this time he was in so much pain that he was almost unstable on his feet, and he continued to run forward with all his will, and he realized that the original mutilation is always a disability.
He had no companions on this road, no one to witness his loneliness at the moment, only the mountain wind blowing his sideburns from time to time, and sweat dripping down. Unlike other people's tiredness, he is more painful, but Tu Mochu is firm enough, although his life and body are inferior, his mind is not cheap.
Only a hundred meters from the last drinking point, he saw her.
Jing Lin stood at the desk, wearing a light blue school uniform from No. 6 Middle School and a volunteer badge around her neck. She was surrounded by several volunteers from other schools.
There were many people at the finish line, all looking forward to it, Jing Lin lowered her eyebrows, and was seriously pouring water to wash up glucose, and other volunteers stepped forward to hand water to the students who had completed the race.
As soon as Jing Lin raised her eyes, she saw Tu Mochu. Fifty meters away, his pace was slow, like a song sung when he was a child, and the snail carried the heavy shell on its back, climbing up step by step. He is not a snail, but he walks harder than a snail. In fact, at this time, his steps could already be seen that something was not quite right.
Staggering, the only thing that supported him to go on was perseverance, and none of the classmates around him who ran past the finish line were as struggling as him. His arms were covered with sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
Zhuang Yi, who was at the end of the volunteer line, opened his eyes wide, and couldn't believe it, how could Tu Mochu be so tired? He didn't seem to be able to run anymore, he was just gritting his teeth and walking step by step.
Tu Mochu didn't really ask for much, he just wanted the beautiful girl to hand him a glass of water, but he didn't seem to be able to cross this distance.
Zhuo Ting turned her head and saw that Jing Lin was bending down to drill from the separated line she pulled up to the runway, she hurriedly stopped, "Jing Lin, what are you doing?" Don't go over! ”
Jing Lin ignored Zhuo Ting's stop and ran directly towards Tu Mochu.
Volunteers crossed the line into the runway, which had never happened before, and what Zhuo Ting didn't expect was that this person would be the most obedient and well-behaved Jing Lin.
The girl's long hair was shawl, and the ends of her slightly curly hair were flying in the wind, and she ran along the road in the opposite direction, two meters, one meter...... She is like a fluttering butterfly, light and sweet. She stretched out her arms and caught the boy's body, which was on the verge of falling the next moment.
It was the first time they had embraced in twelve years.
The girl's slender arms hugged the young man's thin waist, and her hair was full of fragrance. His legs ached sharply and his lips were chapped, so he hugged her so he wouldn't fall into a mess. The waist under his palm was very soft, completely different from his, it was so soft that he wanted to hug it like this and never let go.
Tu Mochu's palm was hot, he didn't say a word, and his whole body was soaked.
"Tu Mochu." Jing Lin was distressed and angry, "Why are you participating in this?!" ”
He leaned into the girl's arms, and his voice was hoarse, "I like it." "Because I like you so much.
Jing Lin thought that he was saying that he liked the sport of marathons, she was so angry that tears were about to come out, "If you don't care for yourself so much, you deserve to die!" ”
Tu Mochu didn't refute, and replied in a low voice: "Hmm." ”
He closed his eyes, and the mountain breeze was cool. There were only two people on the road, him and Jing Lin, and it would take more than ten meters to reach the end, and behind her, countless people were waiting for the contestants to cross the finish line. And she drilled through the separation line and gave him the first hug in his life.
The girl's arms are fragrant, soft, and lingering, and they are the beautiful hopes that he will never forget in this life.
