I'm going to cross the red line
"Lin Mengjin, get up! You're going to have to compete today! You forgot! Still sleeping here, you! I don't want to compare you! ”
Zihui climbed the stairs on the side of the bed, she grabbed the escalator handle with one hand, and rudely lifted the quilt covering me with the other, and she raised her voice and yelled at me.
"Don't mess with me, I'm so sleepy!"
I gasped a little angrily, rolled over, curled myself up, and hid back under the covers.
"Sleepy? You know you're sleepy. I don't know who it was yesterday and I was still excited in the middle of the night. It's 12 o'clock, and I'm still screaming there from time to time, calling the name of other people's "Yu Wei", do you know how many times I was scared to wake up by you yesterday? Lin Mengjin, you scumbag. ”
The more Zihui spoke, the more angry she became, and the more she spoke, the more excited she became. She lifted my quilt again, this time with a fine light, and didn't even leave me a single corner of the quilt.
"Eh, there was a reason for the incident last night, you let me sleep again, it's rare that I don't have to get up early in the third year of high school!"
I closed my eyes even harder, not wanting to open them. His head shrank down again, and his hands rested on his ears, clutching tightly.
"You just do it, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. Anyway, the squad leader has already deleted my name, and I don't have to go to the game. Wait until you miss the game, I'll see how you cry! ”
Zihui slapped me on my pouting ass mercilessly, and then she jumped off the bed steps.
"Lin Mengjin, I'm going to the playground to see handsome guys. Zhou Jieyi is a referee in the high jump group today, and I will definitely see a lot of handsome guys when I go to him. Hahahahaha! ”
"Don't sleep anymore, hurry up and let me hear if you can!"
Zihui still called me under the bed.
But I covered my ears tightly and fell asleep in a daze. didn't hear Zihui's shout, but fell asleep more and more.
"Be kind as a donkey's liver and lungs, and I'm too lazy to pay attention to you and me."
With a knock on the door, Zihui also left the dormitory. And I was in the dormitory, and I slept so happily that I completely forgot the time.
I seem to have a dream, I dreamed that I was with Yu Wei. That dream, very sweet, very sweet. In my dreams, Yu Wei is like my guardian god, waiting by my side at all times, protecting me and guiding me. Let me completely fall into the honeypot of love, without a trace of trouble, just endless beauty.
Suddenly, a loud bang woke me up from my sweet dream.
I was so frightened that I bounced up on the bed, my messy hair, my worried eyes, and the line of harax that hung around my mouth.
I sat on the bed in confusion, not knowing what was going on. I yawned heavily, tiredly, and reached out to wipe the drooling hawl from it.
…………
"The 50m race in the women's group is coming to an end, so please take your seat immediately. Our game is about to begin. ”
"Notice again, the check-in of the 50-meter race in the women's group of the third year of high school is coming to an end, and the athletes who have not yet been in place are invited to take their positions immediately. Our game is about to begin. ”
…………
"If you notify me, why do you want to open a school-wide broadcast? Wake me up! ”
I scratched my messy hair as I pointed to the radio outside the dorm and yelled.
But scolding and scolding, I suddenly came to my senses.
I realized that the athlete I was urging on the radio was not me!!
I immediately withdrew the indignant finger pointing at the broadcast, and jumped out of bed before I could fold the quilt.
After a brief wash, I went straight to the playground without breathing.
…………
By the time I arrived at the check-in, I had exhausted all my strength. I was gasping as I spat out the words, and I couldn't even finish half a sentence.
"I ...... I am...... Yes"
"Are you Lin Mengjin, an athlete in the 50-meter race in the women's group of the third year of high school?"
Before I could finish introducing myself, the young female physical education teacher in front of me couldn't wait to ask me. I hunched over in exhaustion, my hands propped up on the table in the check-in. His mouth was panting, and he couldn't speak, so he could only nod his head frantically.
"You're alone, the whole world is waiting for you, Miss!"
The PE teacher, after pushing me into the line, led the whole group to the trail behind the playground.
I also followed with a blank face, listening to other competitors say that it seemed that the main playground was still occupied by the men's 800m race, so we couldn't use the main playground, so we had to move to the small playground in the back.
The playground said it was a small playground, but it was actually an old playground that had been abandoned. The color of the runway was not as bright red as the main playground, and the rubber particles used to increase friction on the track seemed to have been blown away by the wind, and there was not much left. There are also a few large trees planted next to the runway, which seem to have been there for decades since the school was founded. The big tree is also quite thick, and the raised roots extend to the runway, making the runway uneven.
I was assigned to the fourth runway, which happened to be occupied by the raised tree roots. Looking at the uneven runway in front of me, my heart instantly panicked. The other three runways were a little less frictional and a little slippery, but at least they were smooth. And my runway is not only slippery but also undulating, how can I run? How can I outrun and win over others?
I wanted to talk to the referees, who were all sports students, but they didn't seem to want to care about anything. Some took the stopwatch and report card in their hands, and some grabbed the red flag and fired the gun, but all of them sat there lazily, and they didn't look like a referee. They didn't seem to care about the abnormal situation on the track at all and just started the race.
Sure enough, none of the runners on the fourth track were able to run well. Most of them are ranked last, and a few of the higher ones can only be ranked second-to-last.
In this kind of competition of the 50-meter sprint, isn't it the explosiveness of the competitors that is compared? With such an uneven track surface, how can the runners contribute, it's good not to fall to death! We're comparing sprints, not obstacle runs!
I was a little nervous in the waiting area, and I kept angrily scolding the track and the unprofessional referees.
Finally it was my turn to play, and I made it to the starting point tremblingly. My hands and feet are a little stiff, probably because I am too nervous. I took an awkward starting position, but I kept struggling with whether to put my left foot in front or my right foot in front, as if I didn't feel comfortable with either foot in front.
But the referees at the finish didn't give me much time to dwell on it, and they quickly raised the red flag to signal us to be ready.
I don't bother anymore, but my nervous heart still hasn't calmed down. I posed, squinted, and looked firmly at the red line at the end not far away.
As long as I win the competition, I will be able to get the prize and make up for Zhou Jieyi.
I took a deep breath, trying to suppress my fast-beating heart.
The guns rang out, and my fellow players and I rushed out for a moment, both before and after.
I adjusted my breathing at a pace, my thighs and calves straining at the same time, and I increased the frequency of my legs as I strode forward.
After a while, I opened up a gap with the other players, and although the gap was not big, I was still ahead.
I was secretly rejoicing that I was getting closer and closer to the red line in front of me, getting closer and closer. As I was about to cross the line, I suddenly tripped over the raised roots of a tree on the runway.
All of a sudden, I lost my balance, and with a shake of the body, I fell out so hard that my knees and palms brushed against the runway. By the time I hurriedly sat up from the track again, the red line had already been crossed by the other runners.
Looking at the red thread that had fallen to the ground, I froze for a moment, and my mind was blank.
The referee at the finish line rushed over and helped me to the medical station.
…………
It is said to be a medical site, but it is actually very simple. That is, a simple small pavilion erected in the open air serves as a function.
"Mengjin, what's wrong with you?"
At the medical site, Yu Wei wears a volunteer's red vest. He shook the mineral water bottle in his hand, probably giving the contestants glucose.
When he saw that I was being helped over, he immediately put down the water bottle in his hand and ran to my side.
"Yumejin?"
He crouched in front of me and called me softly.
I looked down at him. Suddenly, my eyes were filled with warm tears, and without a trace of brewing, the tears fell one by one and ticked onto my hands.
My hands had rubbed against the runway, and they were already dirty and black. There were also wounds and blood marks on it.
The pants of my school uniform were torn out of my knees, and the flesh inside was torn open, dripping with blood, staining the area around the torn pants.
I lowered my head heavily, choked aggrievedly, and kept sucking on my nasal passages that were already blocked, and tears were still pouring down my eyes.
Yu Wei in front of him became blurred because of tears. But when he looked at me, the distress in his eyes, I could see it clearly.
He didn't ask me anything more, just hurried to get disinfectant and cotton swabs.
"It hurts, bear with it."
He poured some disinfectant water on the cotton swab, and gently held my palm, wiping it little by little on the wound in my palm. He gently blew cool air on the wound as he wiped it, which also made me feel less pain.
…………
Zihui suddenly ran towards the medical station from a distance, and she didn't know where she received the news of my injury, so she ran straight towards me.
"Mengjin, are you okay?"
She cupped my tear-stained cheeks and looked at me worriedly.
"I heard from a friend in the next class that you fell during the competition, and I was so scared that I ran straight over."
She looked up and down at me, and she squatted down with Yu Wei, frowning, looking at the wound on my knee.
"It hurts, doesn't it?"
I didn't answer her, I just inhaled the mucus from my nose.
"Your referee there is really not a human being, and you are still allowed to run on such a runway? Do you have brains, do they? I knew that I should have let Zhou Jieyi be the referee for you. ”
Zihui scolded the referees for me, and at the same time reached out to fan my wound with a cool breeze.
Hearing the name of "Zhou Jieyi", I subconsciously raised my head and looked from a distance around me, but I didn't find him.
I was a little disappointed and lowered my head again. The grievances in my heart deepened, and the tears in my eyes couldn't stop ticking, and even the snot in my nasal cavity couldn't help but come out.
Didn't Zhou Jieyi know that I was injured? Why didn't he come and see me? I can't get the prize for him............
…………
After Yu Wei gave me good medicine, he helped me back to the class camp.
"Mengjin, you can rest here! The race is over in a while, so I'll help you go to dinner when I come back! ”
He crouched in front of my knee and held my injured palm. He gently swirled his fingers in circles on the tips of my fingers, which made me feel a little itchy.
He probably wanted to use this to distract me and reduce my pain.
"Hmm!"
I nodded and whispered in response.
He looked at me and smiled softly. He slowly stood up, gently touched my head, and left to head back to the medical site.
…………
After Yu Wei left, I stayed alone in the class camp bored. The pain in my knees and palms was a little unbearable.
I gritted my teeth and stomped my foot violently, trying to relieve the pain in my knee with the numbness on the soles of my feet. But who knew that not only would this not work, but it would also make the wound on the knee more painful.
"Is Lin Mengjin here?"
Suddenly, I seemed to hear someone shouting my name. I followed the direction of the voice and saw the female PE teacher who was at the check-in office in the morning.
The squad leader pointed out to her where I was, and when she saw me, she ran to me excitedly.
"Lin Mengjin, the 50-meter competition in the women's group of the third year of high school is going to be re-competed, do you still want to participate?"
"Re-compare? Aren't the results already out? Why do you want to do it again? ”
I looked at the PE teacher with a puzzled expression. She also seemed a little helpless, she patted the empty seat next to me and sat down.
"Originally, the results of the competition had already come out, and the transcripts had been sent to the announcement office to prepare for the announcement, but who knew that a student referee suddenly rushed out and snatched the transcript, and he also ate the transcript in one bite, and others couldn't stop it!"
With that, the female physical education teacher sighed, revealing a look of surprise and helplessness.
"These days, there are really all kinds of students!"
"By the way, that student referee seems to be still from your class, it seems to be called "Zhou Jieyi", right? ”
"Zhou ...... Zhou Jieyi? ”
I yelled his name in shock, and my face was as full of wonder as the PE teacher.
"Yes, that's the classmate."
"Well, not much more. Today's race isn't over yet, are you going to re-compete? Can you still play with this injury? ”
The teacher raised his eyes and looked me up and down for a moment.
"Come if you can compare, we have changed the venue to the main playground this time, and we will definitely not let you suffer anymore. I'm sorry, Lin Mengjin! ”
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Teacher, I can compare, I can compare."
"Then come on, teacher cheer you on!"
"Good!"
Since I have made up my mind to win the competition and get a prize for Zhou Jieyi, then I must do it and not back down.
…………
I dragged my injured leg back into the ring.
It was already noon, the sun was shining above my head, and the runway in front of me was bright red and hot, and this time the runway was no longer uneven, but smooth and smooth, reaching the end.
I endured the pain and stood on the starting point again. I clenched my injured palm tightly and looked more firmly ahead.
The gunshots rang out again, and I rushed forward. It's still the same big stride, big strides and legs.
The wound on his knee seemed to be ripped open again, and it seemed that blood was flowing out again. But I didn't care so much, this time I couldn't lose again, I rushed towards the red line.
Finally, I succeeded.
The red thread touched my body and then fell to the ground, and I was the first............
I shouted excitedly at the finish line, the joy of victory having made me forget the pain of the bleeding wound.
I threw my hands up, closed my eyes, and danced excitedly at the finish line.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw him smiling not far ahead.
He and I both looked at each other in silence, I smiled and he smiled.
At that moment, it was as if I had gone back to the past, and there was no restraint or estrangement between me and him............
