Chapter Thirty-Eight: Drunken Spring Breeze

The last semester of junior high school is fast approaching. In the sprint stage before the high school entrance examination, the head teacher adjusted the seat again, which is a very innovative way of adjustment, and I am afraid that only the head teacher with such a flexible mind can think of it.

There are eight rows of seats in any class, and every two rows are a large group, lined from one side to the other where the main entrance is located, with an empty aisle between each large group. And now, the aisle in the middle has been added by the head teacher, and it is called the golden seat. In fact, some students whose grades are not satisfactory and want to focus on them are placed.

Every two weeks, the original eight rows of seats are still rotated, but the middle row remains the same. In this way, there are two advantages, one is that the middle column always enjoys the best perspective of the class, and the other is that their table mates will change frequently, one on the left and one on the right, so they can discuss problems with more students and broaden their horizons, which is not boring at all.

Lin Ximeng was placed in the golden seat, which surprised me. Perhaps the head teacher especially appreciates her, and hopes that she can focus more on her studies in the sprint stage, after all, her grades have indeed declined compared to when she first entered junior high school.

She really needs to worry about the results of the cultural class, so I don't have to worry. However, I also have a lot of worries, things that are as important as the cultural class, and in this matter, she is the opposite of me, so she doesn't have to worry about it at all. I think this may also be the arrangement of fate, the hidden bond between me and her.

In the third year of junior high school, we mainly faced the task of the high school entrance examination, and the whole grade was shrouded in the tense atmosphere of the high school entrance examination, and the items of the high school entrance examination were divided into cultural classes and sports. For me and most of my classmates, the biggest difficulty is in sports, although I only have 30 points, but if I don't pass, I won't even be qualified for the cultural class. And it's this annoying physical education test, I don't take the sprint and high jump that I'm good at, and the test items have always been my weakness.

When it comes to running, I run like an antelope on the soccer field, and I can sprint at a speed that can be used for any sprint, and I never have a problem with events like 60 meters and 100 meters.

It's the same running, and I have to take 1000 meters in the high school entrance examination, which is very painful for me who is not as physically strong as ordinary people, and every time I finish running, I feel like I am wandering at the gate of hell. Usually the teacher will tell me with a weird smile that I just failed, but as long as I can calm down and find that I am still alive, it will be a huge victory, so why do I care?

For the 1000m, just failing actually means just passing, maybe I just need to work hard in the final sprint.

In terms of bouncing ability, how can I, as a cat, be bad? I jumped higher than my classmates who were 10 centimeters taller than me! There were a few PE classes where I was practicing the high jump, and I was always able to stunt.

The same is a jump, the high school entrance examination is a long jump, if it is a running jump, my explosiveness can also help me jump farther, but the high school entrance examination is a standing long jump. The legs are so short, and the heels can't pass the passing line with enough strength. You can't just be patient and work hard to achieve your goal.

Not to mention the other test item, although it is an optional option, whether it is a solid ball or a curved arm overhang, it is a test of upper limb strength, and I completely give up. From the time I first came into contact with basketball, I knew that my strength was naturally much smaller than that of ordinary humans. Even in ordinary fights, he has always adhered to the Tai Chi concept of small and broad, and never engaged in pure strength confrontation with his opponent in the arm, such as "pouting".

I made a very accurate summary of my physical education high school entrance examination: the 1000m just passed, the standing long jump just failed, and the rest was destined to fail.

In contrast, I envy one person very much, and that is Lin Ximeng. She looks like a little jasper, she doesn't like to move between classes, and she usually only stays in the classroom during physical activity classes, so she doesn't look like an energetic person.

However, it is such a person who seems to be weak but has a unique advantage in sports, and since winning the championship with a cold in that school sports meeting, he has become a shining sports star in the class and even the whole grade. This aspect is really complementary to me, I will not let go of all the opportunities in my life to express myself, but the school sports meeting does not have the courage to sign up at all, and it is only a shame to go.

There are not many days left before the physical education high school entrance examination, and the physical activity class, which is often occupied by the cultural class teacher, has finally been handed over to the students. As we did in previous activity classes, my best group of golfers and I simulated a soccer game on the playground. When the front line was in a scorching scramble, I was always bored with the goalkeeper as a defender. I stared at the goal for a long time, and the white frame was quite sturdy, and it seemed to be used to practice hanging arms.

That day, in front of my own goal, I suddenly jumped up and grabbed the crossbar, my hands clenched and hung in front of my chest, my chin against the crossbar as a supporting support, and my eyes stared indifferently into the distance.

In the distance is the still anxious midfield, everyone is fighting fiercely, but obviously our side is stronger, and the opposite side can't break through at all.

So I relaxed and looked at the whole playground, and in that farther away, I suddenly found a familiar figure, that person was Lin Ximeng! Lin Ximeng actually appeared during the physical activity class!

I hurriedly jumped off the beam and looked in the direction of Lin Ximeng, who was her and her best friend, who had come to the playground to practice long-distance running. Lin Ximeng is on the inside of the runway, and her girlfriend is on the outside, the two are running together, and they will soon come here.

I immediately cheered up and threw myself into the tense game with concentration, and I would let Lin Ximeng see my sassy and heroic appearance. Lin Ximeng, who has never been to the playground, must not know that I am also a good hand at exercising, so I am not the weak scholar in the classroom.

From time to time, I secretly looked at Lin Ximeng where they ran to. As I watched as I got closer, I couldn't help but get agitated. Ah! I can't see her, I can't see her, I'm distracted, I can't let her see that I'm not focused. Ah! I can't just stand stupidly like this, I'd better hurry up and get a ball and let me show it!

Just as I had hoped, the other side found a break in the side and rushed towards me.

I quickly followed and forced him to continue dribbling down the wing.

Seeing that he was almost on the line, I saw his intention to cut into the middle line, and quickly made a flying sliding tackle to accurately shovel the ball out of the baseline.

The ball just swept in front of Lin Ximeng and them at a fast speed.

Lin Ximeng was startled, stopped suddenly, and looked at the source of the ball, which was the direction I was in.

I lay on my side on the grass, smirking at her, my heart still pounding. It was really dangerous just now, and the ball almost hit Lin Ximeng.

Lin Ximeng and I were still some distance away, but in the four eyes, I could see that her face was frightened and there was a hint of surprise and shyness. She turned her head back and said something to her best friend, who was also frightened, but her face was already flushed, maybe she had just run too hard.

After a few moments, they were running again.

Not only did she run very hard, but she also worked hard to help her best friend. When her best friend couldn't run, she held her hand, encouraged and led her to persevere.

I watched all this silently, and suddenly felt that this was a very beautiful picture, under the sunset and sunset on the horizon, accompanied by the cool evening breeze, Lin Ximeng's upright posture was intoxicating.

Since then, I have envied Lin Ximeng and regarded her as a kind of role model. Both her athletic physique and her dedication have deeply touched me and inspired me to push my limits. When I ran out of breath in the 1000 meters, I imagined that Lin Ximeng was running with me; When the bent arm can't hold on, I imagine that Lin Ximeng is cheering for me; When standing at the starting point of the standing long jump, I will silently recite in my heart, "Lin Xi Meng, please give me strength!" ”

I used to work hard to improve my academic performance because I liked Yan Jinfeng, and now I am trying to improve my physical fitness because I love Lin Ximeng. What I did before has never failed, and I believe that the current one will be able to do the same!

In April, the bell of the decisive battle rang. On the afternoon of the day of the physical education high school entrance examination, all the students of the whole grade gathered in the stadium in Fengcheng, waiting to accept the judgment of fate. Spring in April was supposed to be sunny and windy, but it was a gloomy day, and I didn't know what I was waiting for. However, such weather also has its benefits, the cool spring breeze can make the body more stretched, the spirit more uplifted, and the whole body is full of inexhaustible power, eager to release to the fullest.

I found Lin Ximeng's place in the crowd of the class, and I looked at her from afar, looking at the confident and relaxed smile on her face. There seemed to be a magic that made me feel like my body and mind were relaxed, and all the tension melted away. "It's time to repay you for your kindness to me!" I looked at the exam venue with a resolute gaze, pursed the corners of my mouth slightly, and swore that I would win this battle.

Standing long jump, flying into the air, feeling like a horse stepping on a flying swallow; When the feet hit the ground, a hanging heart finally landed safely. Afterwards, they said that it was because of the high friction on the ground in the stadium, and I think it was Lin Ximeng's gentleness that made me feel relaxed from the inside out.

The bent arms are dangling, holding their breath and closing their eyes, but seeing the universe turning; When I opened my eyes, I was shocked to find that the worries of the world were gone. Afterwards they said that my chin was fixed on the bar, and my face was flushed as if it were on fire; And I know that my heart is even hotter, Lin Ximeng must be paying attention to me and silently supporting me, so I must hold on, and I will definitely be able to hold on.

The two most feared items were passed miraculously, and with a firm belief in Lin Ximeng in my heart, it was really useful! My morale was even higher. There are only 1,000 meters left, which is already the easiest of the three for me to pass, and it will definitely be no problem.

A group of classmates had already assembled at the starting line, and I confidently joined them, took a deep breath, and got ready.

With a gunshot rang out, I began my final struggle.

The power came from nowhere, and everyone rushed out like mad bulls, running faster than usual. In the process of following the race, I obviously felt that the speed of everyone this time was something that they had never achieved in their usual training, as if they had just changed the battery. Strange to say, I didn't feel the strain at all, and I must have gone crazy.

"It's a circle!" The teacher standing at the recording point prompted us.

I held my head firmly high, breathing rapidly, my eyes only gray-blue sky, my mind empty, and I let my limbs step by step out of my control. I used to run in this position, which allowed me to be more focused and forget how many classmates I had around me, how far I was from the finish line, and how much time had passed.

Gradually, it seemed that the dark clouds in the sky were fading, becoming bluer and brighter, and he seemed to have become a captive of his limbs, like a puppet with a string, not knowing why he was running, only knowing that he kept running. The consciousness became more and more blurred, the space did not seem to change at all, time seemed to stand still, and the soul seemed to have gone out of the body and was drifting towards the sky.

Until the teacher's faint voice sounded in his ears again: "There is still half a circle!" "I finally realized that I was taking the test, and it was time to sprint.

"Come on! You can make it! He vaguely heard his inner voice speaking, but the timbre was as crisp as Lin Ximeng's.

I took out my sprint trick, and when I entered the last straight, all the strength of my body was concentrated on my arms, which swung like an engine at a frequency beyond the limits of my body, and at the same time drove my legs to run at the same frequency, and the more my arms swung, the farther my legs crossed.

My eyes were nearly closed, and a faint afterglow in the slit indicated the direction of the end. One classmate after another was overtaken by me, and I instinctively avoided them and turned into a rocket. At this moment, my body is burning and my soul is steaming!

It was like a meteorite that had crossed the finish line, and I continued to push dozens of meters before I could control myself and stop. The heart, which I couldn't feel at all just now, is like an expanding ** at this moment, which will explode at any time.

I clutched my aching chest, walked aimlessly on the lawn with my tired steps, and wandered aimlessly on all fours, like a ghost.

I saw that the girls had also gathered on the starting line and were ready to go, including Lin Ximeng's figure, and Yan Jinfeng's figure, but I paid more attention to Lin Ximeng.

Another starting gun rang out, and the girls' final battle began.

I saw Lin Ximeng charging at the forefront of the team with vigorous steps, as light as a flying swallow, as mighty as an eagle, and as fast as a cheetah. I admired her powerful yet lovely figure, a smile of relief on her face, and the drumming of the heart that had not yet calmed down must have been cheering for her.

I looked at Yan Jinfeng at the end of the line, he didn't have the usual vigor at all, he was so weak that he seemed to be able to fall down when the wind blew. What is the charm of her at this time? I didn't care about Yan Jinfeng, who was left far behind, I wanted to focus on every moment when Lin Ximeng ran by, and every grain of dust raised.

It was almost evening, the weather was really clearing, the sky was getting bluer and bluer, and it seemed that what I saw when I ran was real. The setting sun drove away all the dark clouds, and before going down, it did not hesitate to sprinkle the light that had been held back all day. The light was so warm, like gentle hands, gently soothing my tired body, so pleasant that it was intoxicating.

I was in disbelief to learn that I had not only passed all of them, but also received a perfect score, and I felt as lucky as if I had won the lottery.

An afternoon's hard work ended successfully, and the students walked outside the stadium in twos and threes. I picked up the jacket I had taken off earlier, hung it over my shoulders, and walked slowly down the road, feeling like a star on the red carpet.

Not far ahead, I saw Lin Ximeng and her best friend, walking side by side. I was able to pass the sports high school entrance examination perfectly this time, I regarded this as the credit of Lin Ximeng, I was grateful to her, and I wanted to go forward to say thank you, but I didn't.

It would be strange if I did go up and say thank you. Obviously, Lin Ximeng didn't do anything, she just appeared in my heart.

The air was so warm and humid that the whole body was already slumped and weak when soaked in it, and the whole heart was about to melt when soaked in it. As if drunk, I dragged the bumpy and heavy steps, silently looking at the back of Lin Ximeng's walking, looking at her ruddy face when she turned her face sideways, and let the warm breeze blow.

At sunset,

Yerba Caojian,

In the spring breeze,

Graceful beauty,

Gentleman drunk.
