Chapter Twenty-Four: Sports Specialty?

Not long after the start of the second year of junior high school, the teachers mobilized us to actively participate in the school sports day.

"How about it, Mao Xiaoer, let's sign up." Song Hongyi said to me excitedly.

"I want to sign up too, but what program do I want to participate in?"

"Whatever you do, it's a great opportunity to express yourself, you know." Song Hongyi gave me a meaningful look.

I know what he's trying to say. All students of all grades will appear on the playground during the school sports meeting, and they will pay attention to the students who are competing on the field. For me, this is indeed a good opportunity to show myself in front of Yan Jinfeng. However, as soon as I looked at the optional items, I was dumbfounded.

Long jump, long run, solid ball...... It's true that they are all things that I often practice in PE class, but I have proven through countless times that none of these are good at me.

As a cat, I can jump very high, jump on a wall with ease, and even in human form, I can jump taller than I am. But in the jumping event, I watched it several times, and there was no high jump event. What standing long jump, what running jump, are the distances investigated. I can't jump far!

As a cat, I have an unusually explosive power, and I can pounce on my prey at lightning speed. In human form, I proved my unstoppable impact as early as when I played football, and the ball belonged to me like a storm that swept around the opposing striker. However, why is there no sprint in the running program? The shortest is also 200 meters. And I couldn't run after 10 seconds.

As a cat, I'm an agile hero, how can I compete with others? In the process of fighting with my classmates, I have always relied on quick reflexes and quick skills to win, and I have always avoided head-to-head confrontation with others. Why are there no agility events at the sports meeting, but there are strength events?

Looking at the whole list, no matter which one, it is destined for me to be willing to give in. How can this work! If I participated, I would be all out of the world, I would be embarrassed in front of Yan Jinfeng, and I would be humiliated!

"Forget it, there's no project for me." I said to Song Hongyi embarrassedly.

"Oh, well, I'd consider signing up for a 200-meter run."

"Yes, then you can sign up."

"Hey, hey."

On the day of the competition, it was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. Two days ago, a sudden rain extinguished the summer flames, this day the rain is gone, the sun has not yet come out to work, the air is particularly comfortable, take a deep breath, as if you can feel the morning dew condensed on the green grass, and seem to be in the deep mountains and springs. It was indeed a good day to hold a sports day.

"Men's 200m heats, men's 200m heats, now start check-in." Voices on the radio echoed throughout the playground.

"I'm going to see my show." Song Hongyi said excitedly.

"At your level, it's a wonderful yarn." I say.

He laughed twice, then turned and went straight to the check-in.

Soon, I saw Song Hongyi's figure on the runway, and there were eight or nine boys running at the same time as him. Among them, a familiar figure caught my eye - it was the boy next to Yan Jinfeng! This little guy is quite capable, I want to see what this guy is like.

With a gunshot, Song Hongyi and the others jumped out, and after passing the corner, they began to sprint. In the end, as I expected, Song Hongyi failed to get the top three.

I saw Song Hongyi come back dejectedly, dragging his tired body, like a ball of soft cotton.

"Hey! I didn't get a place in the rankings. He said.

"Yes, it's better than I thought." I said with a smile.

"You kid, you're teasing me."

"No, no, it's a sincere appreciation."

"Hey! I originally wanted to show my hand in front of you and Xiaomei. ”

"You mainly want to show your hand in front of Xiaomei." I squinted at him and gave him a sharp look.

"Shhh

"I can see you're interesting to Xiaomei."

"Eh, good brother, don't throw stones." Song Hongyi became serious.

"Okay, let's not talk about it." I thought to myself, judging from his usual performance, all signs showed that he liked Xiaomei at least a little bit. But since he doesn't admit it, I don't have much to say, I'm not the kind of person who loves to gossip about others and spread other people's gossip anyway.

"I don't know if you noticed the boy on your right just now." I asked Song Hongyi.

"Oh, I think so. I overtook him in the sprint. ”

"That's what I think you're good at. When you sprinted, it was like a rocket booster attached, outpacing several people in a row. ”

"Are you saying I'm on fire in the butt?"

"Haha, that's how you describe yourself. Seriously, if the track is another 50 meters, you can probably catch up to the first place. ”

"Hehe, if I grow another 50 meters, I will die of exhaustion on the runway and I won't be able to get up." Song Hongyi patted me on the shoulder, "By the way, do you know that boy?" ”

"Honestly, that's one of my rivals."

"Oh? That goddess that the man likes you? ”

"Yes, my goddess seems to have taken a fancy to him, and she is always tired of being with him."

"Well, but I didn't see your goddess with him today."

"Well, I found out too, it's weird." I scanned the playground again, and Yan Jinfeng didn't participate in a certain project. I looked in the direction of Class 7 again, trying to find Yan Jinfeng's figure, but I didn't find anything.

"Let's go buy a bottle of water." Song Hongyi said.

"Well, let's go."

We walked towards the entrance of the commissary. Halfway through, I suddenly stopped Song Hongyi and said, "Don't move, there's a key person in front." ”

Song Hongyi looked at the door of the commissary and smiled heartily.

That's right, it was Yan Jinfeng, who was with another boy, holding a bottle of drink in her hand. The boy was tall, holding a pack of snacks in his hand, and handed it to Yan Jinfeng. Yan Jinfeng successively took a lot of it from the bag and stuffed it into his mouth, happy as a rabbit.

"What are you afraid of, we'll go ours." Song Hongyi did not stop, but walked faster and faster.

"You, you, you! You wait for me. "I had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.

Our movement obviously caught Yan Jinfeng's attention. She glanced at me, then panicked and said to the boy next to her, "Let's go!" As he spoke, he grabbed the boy's arm and ran in the direction of the playground. The boy didn't understand what was going on, and he was almost pulled by Yan Jinfeng to lose his center of gravity.

Yan Jinfeng, what's going on? Seeing me is like seeing an enemy, is she a mouse? And who is that boy? It looks like they're very close. It seems that I have to ask Zhang Hong again.

The game is still in full swing. Our class did not achieve many good grades, perhaps the physical fitness of the students in the key class is indeed not as strong as that of the students in the ordinary class. However, there was a fierce general in our class, and I never thought she would be a fierce general.

She is Lin Ximeng!

Almost all the girls in our class who participated in the project were wiped out, but she was still fighting on the field, like a fearless warrior, resolutely carrying the banner of the class and bravely charging at the forefront.

She has already won the women's 400m. And now, she is ready for the 800m final, and she has become the focus of attention of the class in an extremely standard posture on the starting line, but in the face of the dazzling sun, her eyes are narrowed into a slit, and her expression is not so natural.

Another starting gun rang out, and she reacted a little slower, caught in the middle of the crowd. It doesn't seem like a good beginning, but the start of a long-distance run is relatively unimportant, it tells a story about endurance, and the middle and end of the story are the most important.

Lin Ximeng is obviously very good at telling such stories, she quickly followed the first echelon, her movements looked quite relaxed, but her face was still very serious, and even with some discomfort. This is actually normal, if it were me, how could I smile when I was so tired from running.

Soon it was time for the final sprint, and Lin Ximeng had remained in the first echelon, quite close to the rest of her classmates, which should be a good situation for her, at least for me. During the sprint stage, I was able to stimulate the powerful wild power in my body, and instantly condensed a huge explosive power, which felt like flying, and I could catch up with several people in a row.

Lin Ximeng really lived up to expectations, and he obviously accelerated his speed in the sprint stage, and the muscles on his face were squeezed together. Finally, with 10 meters to go, she managed to overtake it! Another championship!

The students in charge of logistics had already taken towels and water and ran to pick them up, and Song Hongyi, Xiaomei and I, and many other classmates also rushed over.

She didn't take the water, just took the towel and kept wiping the sweat. In the sunlight, she still didn't open her eyes, her sweat-soaked bangs clinging to her broad forehead scatteredly, and her cheeks were visibly flushed, and this flush continued to expand until her whole face was red, as if it were about to be cooked.

She was panting, listless, aimless, like a chaotic puppet, choking and coughing from time to time. Suddenly, the puppet's string breaks, and she collapses to the ground.

Later, we found out that she came to the field with a bad cold that day. She was escorted by her classmates to the infirmary, and rested for an afternoon with hanging bottles before relieving.

"Students, today I want to focus on praising Lin Ximeng." At the class meeting that week, the head teacher said solemnly, "In this school sports meeting, Lin Ximeng still did not give up with a serious cold, resolutely participated in all the registered projects, and also achieved excellent results, winning valuable honors for the class." Let's all thank her for her hard work! Let us pay tribute to her indomitable and selfless dedication spirit together! ”

The class burst into applause.

I clapped my hands while looking at Lin Ximeng's back in front of me. This seemingly small body actually contains such a huge amount of energy, and such a quiet and shy girl has such enviable sports cells. The legendary "quiet as a virgin, moving as a rabbit", is talking about her.

If only I could have such a strong physique. Growing up, my biggest concern was my sports performance. I watched the other students easily pass the test, and I tried my best to reach the passing mark at most. I often wonder if this is due to the difference between me and human beings, but I always have to overcome it, otherwise what will I do with the sports high school entrance examination?

Lin Ximeng is really a girl who is not simple, I really envy her.
