CHAPTER XXI
15m rock climbing, men's group
In a group of five, five fifteen-meter-high rock walls with the same edges and corners, everyone climbed desperately. Leng Changhe and Zhang Chengyuan are in a group. The two cheered each other on and climbed up side by side, taking 86 seconds and 89 seconds respectively to climb to the top. After the test, the two returned to the playground and sat around with their friends to report each other's results. Sun Pengcheng 96 seconds, Zheng Changlong 79 seconds temporarily ranked first among partners. After everyone reported the scores, they paid attention to the next set of exams. Zhu Tiancao and Wu Hao are in the same group.
In the eyes of the partners, this group of climbing tests was a fierce competition.
The teacher's whistle blew and the buddies began to clock out. Zhu Tiancao and Wu Hao left the other three below and competed to climb up. Half a minute later, the two pulled apart. Zhu Tiancao was already higher than Wu Hao. What shocked the partners was far more than that, most of them climbed slower and slower the higher they went up, but Zhu Tiancao clearly climbed faster and faster, and when he reached the peak, he had already left the others far away. The final results of the two: Zhu Tiancao 72 seconds, Wu Hao 84 seconds. Zhu Tiancao is the fastest in this exam so far!
After the competition, the six boys sat around and rested, waiting for the next swimming test. There was no joy of victory on Zhu Tiancao's face. In fact, he may have been frustrated by the pressure of the exam recently, and the powerful aura he exuded in the past is now less and less strong.
Wu Hao did not have the slightest loss on his face. He is more mature than children of the same age, and he doesn't care about these wins and losses from the bottom of his heart, he only needs to be admitted to the Sailing School. As for getting in with the first place and the last place, it's the same for him.
Only the final 100-meter freestyle test remained, and in order to break the oppressive atmosphere, some people began to suggest how to celebrate after the test.
"What are you doing after the swimming test in a while?" Zheng Changlong proposed, "Why don't you go play basketball in a while?" ”
"After swimming," Sun Pengcheng was still panting, he tried his best to climb rocks, and this physical exertion was not small for him. "Do you still have the energy to play basketball after swimming?"
"So what?" Zheng Changlong interjected.
"I'll forget it. The results will come out tomorrow, and the kickboxing exam will be held directly. This back-to-back test is clearly to test our physical strength and recovery ability, so let's have a good rest at night! Wu Hao said.
Everyone turned their heads to look at Zhu Tiancao.
Zhu Tiancao was depressed. "Well, let's go home after the exam."
The partners were silent for a while, I don't know why, Zhu Tiancao was in a bad mood for a while, but no one dared to ask why.
An exclamation brought the attention of the partners back to the scene of the climbing exam. I saw that in the next group of students, a boy took off his shirt and went into battle with his bare arms.
The well-defined muscular contours of a body are a manifestation of a man's mature charm.
However, such a muscle on a fifteen-year-old boy seems a little inappropriate.
His name is Wei Hengyi.
To the amazement of the crowd, he set a new record for the Enlightenment School Sports Test Climbing Competition: 53 seconds! In less than a minute, he had climbed to the top of the cliff at almost uniform speed.
Standing at the apex, cheers and exclamations can be heard in my ears.
The human senses can be in harmony with each other.
For example, when people see a moving scene, they will cry bitterly, which is an emotion through visual input.
The human senses can also be irrelevant.
For example, Wei Hengyi's sluggish expression was not in harmony with the cheers and exclamations around him.
He looked up at the sky. The lilac sky was destined to not make him happy.
Wei Hengyi, another young and old child, few people have ever seen him smile.
"Who is he?" Zheng Changlong asked, "It's even faster than our Brother Zhu!" ”
"There are more than 300 of us in this class, and it is impossible to know all of them." Wu Hao said, "But I know this person, he is also a student in the high school, and his father is a professor of pharmacy." ”
"Pharmaceutics?." Zhu Tiancao's eyes suddenly lit up again, and he said disdainfully: "Pharmacy bullshit is not!" ”
"Are you jealous that he has surpassed you? The professor of pharmacy is really respectable, and it is said that the medicine we take every day was developed by his father. Wu Hao continued.
Zhu Tiancao glared at Wu Hao, like an enraged beast.
Wu Hao was not afraid: "Don't think that it's only your dad cow, the professor of architecture is very powerful, but"
"Don't talk about it." Zhu Tiancao suddenly stood up and said three words in a low voice. His voice was not loud, but the expression on his face was enough to shock the partners present. He interrupted Wu Hao's words, turned around and walked towards the swimming competition venue by himself.
"Brother Zhu, what's wrong with you?" Leng Changhe stood up and asked.
"Shut up!" Zhu Tiancao's eyes showed a fierce light, his eyes were red, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Leng Changhe After speaking, he turned around and continued to walk.
"What's the matter with you?" Zhang Chengyuan also stood up and asked. Zhang Chengyuan was Leng Changhe the best brother, and he was willing to call Zhu Tiancao Brother Zhu because Leng Changhe called him so. When Leng Changhe and Zhu Tiancao clashed, he still stood on Leng Changhe's side without hesitation.
Zhu Tiancao turned around again, looked at Zhang Chengyuan, and didn't speak.
"Brother Zhu!" Zheng Changlong stood up, ran over and hugged Zhu Tiancao, and whispered: "Brother Zhu, they don't know, you dissipate your anger, don't be sad!" ”
Zhu Tiancao turned his head, waved his hand, and went alone.
"Brother Zhu asked me to keep it a secret before!" Watching Zhu Tiancao walk away, Zheng Changlong explained to his partner: "His father ......"
The whistle blows, and the PE teacher urges the group to prepare for the swimming test.
"I'll tell you when I'm done with the exam!" Zheng Changlong said as he followed everyone to the examination room.
Swimming is now Zhang Chengyuan's strong point, but the specialty of swimming is not his innate.
During his three years of secondary school life, he suffered a lot. He didn't want to tell his parents about the pressure of his studies and Ruan Xiyue's indifference to him, so he chose swimming as a way to vent.
Water is the easiest medium for people to get close to nature, and when you are immersed in water, you will feel very relaxed, and the pressure on your body will dissipate. Zhang Chengyuan has actually always cared about Ruan Xiyue, and he learned to swim well because he subconsciously wanted to surpass her in swimming, if he lost to her in sports competitions, then why did Zhang Chengyuan conquer her?
Fortunately, Zhang Chengyuan has a father who is very good at water, and he threw himself under his father in middle school for three years and practiced freestyle cross-arm hard, so now he has enough confidence to win the championship in this event.
As the whistle blew, Zhang Chengyuan jumped, twisted his waist, swung his arms, buried his head, and cut into the water in a smooth arc, his glide distance and forward speed were far ahead. Cutting out of the water, swinging arms, and crossing, his movements appear extraordinarily smooth, without the slightest pause in the connection of movements, the strength of the left and right hands is even, and the stroke efficiency is much higher than that of others......
In this exam, he set a school record. 58.82 seconds. He was about a minute ahead of the boys' average score. He even broke the 100-meter swimming record in the branch exam. Unlike rock climbing, which focuses on physical development and muscle strength, swimming focuses on physical coordination. Fifteen or sixteen-year-old children have less bone density and greater relative buoyancy than adults.
When Zhang Chengyuan reached the finish line, when the applause of his classmates and teachers rang out, and when the teacher announced that he had broken the record, the person he was most looking forward to hearing the news was not in the examination room of the swimming test, and Ruan Xiyue should probably be taking the rock climbing test at this time.
Zhang Chengyuan hurriedly responded to the applause of the teachers and students, climbed out of the water, and returned to his friends.
"How do you swim so fast?" The partners of the Excellence Alliance gathered around to celebrate Zhang Chengyuan.
"Zheng Changlong is halfway through his words, I'm in a hurry, aren't you in a hurry to finish the exam and continue listening." Of course, Zhang Chengyuan would not say what kind of motivation made him practice swimming hard, so he found a suitable excuse.
"I was wrong!" Zhu Tiancao had just come out of the water, walked among his partners and said in a low voice, "I was too impulsive just now." He stopped Zheng Changlong and said, "This is my own business, don't talk about it." ”
Zhu Tiancao turned his head and said to everyone: "Tomorrow there will be a free fighting test." Today, everyone's physical exertion is very large, so hurry up and go back to their respective homes to rest! Parents are waiting at the school gate. ”
As soon as Zhang Chengyuan got out of school, he met his long-awaited mother.
In the surrounding group of "How did you do in the test?" In such questions, the first thing Zhang Chengyuan heard his mother say to him was "Are you tired?" ”
If the happiest thing about Zhang Chengyuan in childhood is that he has a group of good partners, then the happiest thing for him is that he has a mother who loves him and is loved by him.
"Mom, what's going on with Zhu Tiancao and his dad lately?" At dinner, Zhang Chengyuan couldn't help but ask. Zhu Tiancao's father and his parents are colleagues, so if Zhu Tiancao's father really has something, his parents should know.
"Why do you suddenly ask this? What's wrong? Mother and father looked at each other and asked.
"Speaking of Zhu Tiancao's father today, Zhu Tiancao's behavior is a bit excessive." Zhang Chengyuan said truthfully.
"His dad, his dad has been sick recently, and he feels uncomfortable. You don't usually say this in private, you know? Mom said patiently.
"What's the disease?" Zhang Chengyuan was a little curious.
Zhang Chengyuan's mother was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I don't know about this, anyway, you children don't discuss this, it's not good." ”

Chen Jiatong's diary:
I know that Ruan Xiyue today, and her running speed is far behind me! However, it does look beautiful.
Am I jealous of her?
Aren't you jealous? It's hypocritical, I'm clearly jealous of her.
I can't do that.
Mom is right, I can't be willful, it's useless to complain, the disaster has become a fact, now I can only correct my mentality, grit my teeth and live well! You have to be friends with excellent people, only in this way can you be strong, and only when you are strong, can you raise your head and be a man in the future!
Come on, I still have my mother and uncle!
Tomorrow, I'm going to be a real fourteen-year-old girl, forget about the pain for a while, and start making friends with my excellent classmates.
Chen Jiatong, you're the best at acting, aren't you?

Wei Hengyi's diary:
Envy ignorant children, they are happy. Daddy, I can't help but hate you. There are many ways to get your child to work hard to get into the school, but the way you use is definitely the least of the best. You told me the truth, and I will never be happy again. I was even beginning to wonder which was better, unhappiness or death.

Zhu Tiancao's diary:
My dad is already frighteningly thin, but he and his mother don't talk about it, and I can only pretend that I can't see through it. At dinner, I gritted my teeth as hard as I could, so that the tears did not flow. I can't pretend to be stupid anymore. At school, you have to pretend that everything is fine, and when you go home, you have to pretend to be fine. Dad, don't you pretend anymore, okay? You're bald with radiotherapy, so why do you have to wear a hood. Do you really think I can't see it? You've never scratched your hair before. Dad, I know that in this city where cancer is talking, you have your reasons not to tell me, but you have to take care of your body. Radiotherapy requires rest, why are you still working so hard? Why?
