There are still a lot of classmates in the class who like Qiao Qiao. Every time I saw them approach Qiao Qiao in every possible way, and then fell out of battle without saying a few words, I felt a sense of supreme superiority. It seems that only I can get along with Qiao Qiao so naturally and so happily.

This is probably the so-called "childlike heart". There is nothing to ask for each other, no distractions, no restraints, just like two dolls croaking to the ground, with big watery eyes, looking at each other simply, naturally revealing their hearts.

And those boys who want to pursue Qiao Qiao are not so simple from the beginning, they have desires, distractions, and thus restraints from the beginning. Not only to oneself, but also to others. I always think about how to express myself and how to act perfectly.

As everyone knows, the more I think about it, the more troubles and trivialities I have, and the whole person becomes sensitive and hesitant, and finally misses the most suitable time and destroys the most perfect state. That's tying your hands and feet, writhing in front of others, how ridiculous and terrifying.

recalled that when he pursued Yan Jinfeng and Lin Ximeng before, he was just like these boys now, chasing hard but chasing farther and farther. Now in the face of Qiao Qiao, when he did not pursue his purpose so strongly, he got the happiest feeling and the most sincere feelings.

I am lucky to get this feeling; I am fortunate to be able to understand these truths. All this is thanks to the touch of Lin Ximeng, like a divine light, illuminating my heart, expelling all darkness, and guiding my path forward when I was most confused and painful.

However, Lin Ximeng still doesn't know that I have improved a lot, I am no longer the shy and naïve little boy, I am no longer the little silly cat who does not understand human customs. I hope she can see my maturity, that she will get to know me again, a stronger, more youthful me.

In the second semester of the second year of high school, the school decided to hold a ball game, which was held in early summer, which was the season of high enthusiasm.

Competitions are held in physical activity classes and are open to both boys and girls. Basketball is the only sport for girls, while basketball and soccer are divided into basketball for boys, but due to limited time, the school has a rule that each class can only choose one.

As early as when I was in junior high school, I heard that there would be such a game in high school, on the basketball court or football field, the big brothers in high school sweated to their heart's content, with their strong physique, agile skills, and handsome movements, interpreting the meaning of "youth". What's more, the screams that will attract the admiration of countless girls.

I don't need to attract so many girls' screams, I just look forward to being able to attract Lin Ximeng's screams.

Now, the day I am looking forward to is finally coming, this is a great opportunity to show myself in front of the whole school, and a great opportunity to show myself in front of Lin Ximeng! I've grown into a good defender since I was introduced to football in elementary school, and just as I have an airtight defence when I fight, the backline he guards is as solid as a wall.

As the saying goes, ten years of sharpening a sword, now is the time to see the edge!

I am confident not only because I believe in my own abilities, but also because I know what all the classes in the whole year are capable of in football. In every PE class, there is a showdown between the elite football of the whole grade, and we all know each other very well.

I was one of the big four defenders in my grade, and two of the other three were also in my class, and we were called the "Iron Triangle". It's not enough to have a strong defense, we also have a strong striker in our class, recognized as one of the top four strikers in our grade. With such a strong lineup, why can't it sweep the field?

The only one who can match us is Class 7, with another of the four defenders and two of the four strikers, which is Lin Ximeng's class!

I have long imagined that day, as the captain of the team, I led the third class football team and the seventh class to meet in the finals, my sassy heroic posture won the favor of Lin Ximeng, let her see that I not only have good grades, but also play football kung fu is first-class, let her see the other side of my weak school image - a high-spirited boy chasing the wind!

There are always more people who like to play basketball than there are people who like to play football in any class, and this has been the case all the way since elementary school, and now it is the same in our third class, where people who like to play basketball make up almost half of the total number of people in the class, and the main team of them is planning to participate in a basketball game.

For the sake of fairness, the class teacher decided to use a class vote to choose either football or basketball.

The classmate who likes to play basketball is usually a live haunter in the class, has made a lot of friends, and is active in everyone's sight all day long, which can be said to have a deep mass base; And a few of us who play football are usually much more low-key in the class, so we obviously have a disadvantage in voting.

However, in terms of strength, it is clear that football has a greater probability of winning honor for the class, and the basketball team in the class is completely cannon fodder. It's a pity that most of the students in the class don't know this.

There is no doubt that whether it is to show off in front of Lin Ximeng or to win the honor of the class, I, as the captain of the football team, must have a good vote for football. Students who don't play basketball or soccer are key, especially the girls.

I talked to Tian Xiao and Qiao Qiao about how powerful the football team in the class was and how vulnerable the basketball team was, and asked them to publicize it among the girls. And they agreed.

The hard work paid off, and in the final voting result, football narrowly won by one vote.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and the scene of meeting Class 7 in the final was reminding me.

The sunset sprinkled on our joyful faces after victory, and the sweat reflected the masculine heroism shining between our eyebrows, and I looked back at Lin Ximeng with a handsome smile. And her eyes were full of adoration, intoxicated by the breeze mixed with the fragrance of grass. At that moment, her heart will be mine.

I laughed.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, at the class meeting, the head teacher said: "After the last vote, some students told me that they were only one vote short, and they were not convinced and wanted to hold another vote. I don't understand, our classmates, why don't they have such a high level of enthusiasm for studying; Engage in a competition, but fight to the death! Well, this time it's the fairest, I'll draw lots, and whatever I catch is what it is. ”

The head teacher took out two pieces of paper, wrote "foot" and "basket" respectively, and showed them to the whole class, crumpled them into balls, shuffled them, and put them on the podium, and then raised his voice seriously in front of the students: "This is the final decision!" After the casting of lots, none of you will come to me again to intercede. Come to me, and I won't listen. ”

The head teacher's words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, which shook my heart, it was the feeling of being pinched by the neck and about to suffocate, it was the feeling of being tied to the chopping board and being slaughtered, it was the feeling of being manipulated by someone who had mastered the roulette wheel of fate and played with it wantonly.

I stared nervously at the head teacher, and I had a strong premonition that the cooked duck was about to fly away.

You don't have to think about it to know that the guy who secretly petitioned the head teacher must be the captain of the basketball team, and he was triumphant at the moment, grinning with Erlang's legs, as if he was determined to win.

Why is he so confident, and I'm so uneasy? Probably for a man who has lost hope, the slightest light in the darkness will surprise him; And for a man who is already standing on the top of a high mountain, any howling wind will make him shudder.

Subsequently, the head teacher asked the class leader to go to the podium as a notary to further disrupt the paper balls, and then he picked up one of the paper balls at random and opened it.

When the word "basket" only showed a corner, I suddenly felt a roar in my head, and I almost fainted.

After the meeting, I still reluctantly found the class teacher: "Teacher, do you hope that our class can achieve good results in this competition?" ”

"What's wrong?"

"I would like to say that there is a big difference between the level of basketball and football in our class, and our class has a chance to win the first place in football, while basketball may not win a single game. So, for the sake of the honor of the class, we should send a football team. ”

"I don't care which of you is strong or weak, I already said at the meeting just now, what you catch by lot is what you catch, this is the fairest way. Now that the matter has been settled, you don't have to say anything more. ”

"But the way of deciding by drawing lots this time is not fair, if you want to be fair, you should respect the results of the first vote."

"Don't think about it anymore, this basketball and football game is just an after-school activity, giving students a relaxed and relaxing atmosphere to adjust the tense atmosphere of learning. Learning is the main task! If you really want to win honor for the class, why don't you take the first place in the exam, then you can contribute to the class! ”

I was speechless, this head teacher is really unreasonable, and he doesn't give face at all. In his eyes, there is nothing but study, which is really pedantic!

Hey—you can't blame him too much, isn't that the ethos of this era? Teachers and parents only care about your academic performance, so what do you care about your miscellaneous hobbies? What about your complex emotional needs? Who cares about your colorful inner world? What's the difference between you and a cold machine?

The hope of being majestic in front of Lin Ximeng finally came to naught, and I felt powerless. It was already a sure victory, but it was the frustration of being kicked at the moment of the whistle; It was the loss that had swam to the shore, but was pushed into the water again; It was the despair of having climbed the mountain, but being slapped off the cliff with a palm.
