At half past five in the morning, the bell rang punctually. It's been a few days since he ran and exercised, and Tao You has basically adapted to this routine and can get up on time.

The sky is slightly bright, the sun has not yet risen, the street lights in the school are still on, even if it is early autumn, the temperature difference in the morning is still obvious, Tao You stood at the window and blew the wind, so that his brain was sober and sober, and after a while, he shivered, and went back to put on a long-sleeved plaid shirt.

The playground track was full of people, messily surrounded by a thick circle, no head or tail, the pace was even, everyone moved slowly with the large army, no one broke the rhythm, the horns on the platform played passionate music one after another, and the running drill did not seem so monotonous and boring. There are also many students who are not physically good and slowly can't keep up with the rhythm of the large army, so they run slowly at their own pace.

"Xiao Youyou, when do you say the list of this club will come out, I can't wait." Hong Xiqi ran on the outermost side, dragging heavy steps, but still had the strength to speak.

"Deadline," Tao You has rarely exercised in recent years, and after only running for a while, he was already out of breath, and said intermittently, "It's just passed, not so fast." ”

"Don't worry." Chen Lian's pace was a little fast, but she didn't breathe at all, she went back to find Tao You and Hong Xiqi, heard their conversation, and said, "The teacher in charge wants to read the registration list one by one, and the speed is not so fast." ”

Hong Xiqi looked up to the sky and howled briefly: "Why don't Gu Yi and Song Yimian have to run!" It's not fair! ”

Tao You got used to getting up early, but she didn't get used to running, she licked her thirsty lips, her throat was also dry, she swallowed a few times hard, and swept her throat with a slight tingling sensation, and when her throat was comfortable, she continued to speak: "You actually don't want to run, don't you can't wait to join the club." ”

Hong Xiqi frowned and looked at Tao You, and said coquettishly: "Oops! It's a little quiet, you can't see through it. ”

Tao You laughed, the rhythm of panting that he had finally found was disrupted again, the dry and cold wind blew into his mouth, Tao You coughed violently, his stomach was slightly forked, and his legs seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, as if he was about to fall down in the next second.

Running is Tao You's most hated sport, there is no one, even the physical education high school entrance examination has replaced running with swimming, which is why he got a full score in physical education, and he has never failed the running test in physical education class.

As far as she knows, the members of the tennis team don't need to participate in running drills, I don't know what Song Yimian and Gu Yi are about, no matter what, she is very envious of them now.

Chen Lian didn't know about them, and asked suspiciously, "Why don't they have to run?" ”

Hong Xiqi also had no strength, and explained simply: "The tennis team is on the side, you don't have to run." Although she didn't know very well, this reason was the most plausible.

Chen Lian still had questions on her face, but she nodded and didn't continue to ask.

"Gu Yi, aren't you still on the candidate list, why don't you have to run around?"

When the morning reading bell rang, Gu Yi and Song Yimian stepped into the classroom, and before they sat down, Hong Xiqi couldn't wait to ask.

"It's not like the autumn league is coming, we're still on the bench now, and sometimes we're sparring for regular players." Gu Yi brushed his undried hair with his hand, and the water was thrown onto Hong Xiqi's face.

Hong Xiqi reflexively dodged back and closed his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Gu Yi raised his hand to wipe Hong Xiqi's face, but he felt that it was inappropriate, and wanted to take a tissue, but he found that he didn't have it with him, and he was in a hurry, he was afraid that Hong Xiqi would be the same as last time, and he would lose his temper at him regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, "I didn't bring a tissue." ”

Hong Xiqi watched him operate as fiercely as a tiger, and had already wiped the water droplets on his face with his hand: "What are you panicking about, this little thing, I can still eat you." ”

Gu Yi calmed down, and Chong Hong Xiqi showed a standard sunny smile, her beautiful eyes were bent, her thick eyelashes covered a small shadow under her eyes, eight big white teeth were exposed, and there was a small dimple on the left. The sun shone on his face, the fair skin appeared more and more translucent, the face was soft, although the body was slightly fat, there was no flesh on the face, and the contours were clear. Hong Xiqi was somewhat amazed by him, and was fascinated for a while.

"I'm not afraid you'll lose your temper like last time, like a tigress." As soon as Gu Yi spoke, Hong Xiqi sobered up from the surprise and collapsed his face.

"If you can't speak, don't speak!" Hong Xiqi closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, what a good man, but he opened his mouth.

Tao You remembered something, patted Song Yimian, and asked, "Song Xiaopang, I have entered the tennis club, I still have to run in the morning." ”

Song Yimian nodded, with a look of course: "Yes, you are not on the candidate list, and you are not an official team member, except for the training after school, everything else is the same as usual, and you may have to run more, after all, physical training is also what every member must experience." ”

"What!" Hong Xiqi couldn't believe his ears, "You say it again!" ”

Gu Yi laughed and teased, he was not afraid of Hong Xiqi beating him at this time: "You didn't hear it clearly when you were so close?" Behind the ears at a young age? ”

Hong Xiqi glared at him and asked hesitantly: "Then, tennis club, how many laps are they running?" She held Tao You's arm and picked at her a little painfully.

Tao You couldn't care about the pain in her arm, and she was also very curious about the answer.

"You guys and I don't know, we basically start seven or eight laps." Song Yimian said this number lightly.

Hong Xiqi rolled his eyes and fell backwards, his right hand let go of Tao You, and pinched the middle of the person.

Tao You is not surprised, this answer is what he expected, but he feels a little sorry for Hong Xiqi.

"It's going to kill me." Hong Xiqi said with a bitter face, "Why was I so impulsive at that time, why did I choose the tennis club and report that it was not fragrant to sit in the classroom?" ”

Tao You thought that her future campus life was completely tied to running, and she wanted to retreat for a moment, but this was the path she chose, so she could only accept it calmly, and after she figured it out, she comforted Hong Xiqi: "It's them who want to run so much, it's not us, just take your time, don't I accompany you, besides, we may not be selected." Her arm was still picked by Hong Xiqi, it hurt slightly, it was estimated that it was red, and she wanted to pull it out but failed.

Song Yimian noticed the subtle change in Tao You's expression, frowned, and said directly: "Hong Xiqi, let go of your hand, what are you afraid of at this time." The tone was slightly fierce.

Hong Xiqi immediately raised his hands and closed his mouth, frightened by Song Yimian.

"I'm sorry, little Youyou, I just didn't pay attention and hurt you." Hong Xiqi is also a smart person, and when he saw Tao You rubbing his arm, he understood the reason for Song Yimian's tone.

"It's okay, it's okay." Tao You shook his head again and again, "It doesn't hurt, the teacher is coming soon, you hurry up and endorse the book." ”

As soon as the words fell, the English teacher appeared at the door of the classroom with a textbook and said solemnly: "I didn't hear the morning reading bell!" What a noise! Familiar with the texts? ”

All that was left in the classroom was the sound of a lala reciting a text.

"Why don't you make a sound, you haven't eaten enough breakfast!" The English teacher walked around the classroom and yelled loudly, "Wasn't it very energetic to chat just now, I heard the voice of your class in the office, and I will write the text silently later, and everyone can get a full score?!" ”

"Does your hand still hurt?" Song Yimian committed the crime against the wind, and asked closer.

After Tao You determined the location of the teacher, he didn't look at them for the time being, and responded in a low voice: "What are you just doing, if I hurt, I will say it myself, Xi Qi is scared." ”

Song Yimian pouted: "I'm not thinking about you, you still blame me, your kindness is not worth repaying." ”

"Big brother, I thank you." Tao You knew that he was kind, but he didn't agree with his approach.

"Tao You, Song Yimian! What to talk about? The English teacher stood in the first row of the aisle, and at some point turned around and looked at the two of them.

Tao You's gaze moved back to the textbook and did not speak.

The English teacher didn't intend to let go of the two of them, walked over, put his hands on his chest, and stood beside him: "Tao You, for the exam at the beginning of the school, I remember that your overall score is not bad, but your English is not very good, and now you don't hurry up to catch up with the basics, and chat." ”

Tao You's face was flushed when she was spoken, her hand was tightly grasping the textbook, what the English teacher said was indeed right, her English foundation was too poor.

She started learning English in elementary school, and it was a little better at the beginning, but she was confused when she learned phonetic alphabet later, and even if she learned it again in junior high school, she still didn't understand it.

I still remember the first English quiz in the first year of junior high school, the questions were written in English, and it was clearly written: write the upper and lower case of 26 letters, which Tao You understood as English words that write numbers from one to twenty-six.

After reading the question, she was glad that she memorized these words during the summer vacation, but she was stuck in the word 'twelve', time passed minute by minute, she was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, and the last few rows of grids were full, and she still thought about why the teacher didn't prepare more rows of papers, which were not enough to write, and she didn't have time to check whether the spelling was correct, and the time was up. The classmates behind him passed the test papers, Tao You saw that they were writing letters, and then looked at the questions, and then realized that he had answered incorrectly. After a long day of panic, she was finally called to the office for evening self-study, but fortunately, the English teacher had a good temper and did not train her, only told her to strengthen the foundation, and gave her the opportunity to answer the questions again.

In the third year of junior high school, the first thing Tao You memorized words was to bet on the phonetic transcription on the Chinese homonym, no matter how many times those new words were memorized, close the textbook, the brain returned to blank, every time the word was dictated, there will always be her Tao You's name in the list of failed re-dictation on the blackboard, memorizing the text is better, basically can be memorized, but it is also forgotten after writing silently, not that I have not taken tutoring, but there is no effect, the filling in the blanks on the English paper always depends on the sense of language, and the composition squeezes toothpaste like it can meet the word count requirements. In the final review stage of the third year of junior high school, I failed the English test several times, and I was trained by Tao's mother for a long time when I went home.

Fortunately, she did not give up English for three years in junior high school, and she did well in the high school entrance examination.

"Teacher, we were just talking about learning." Song Yimian was so righteous and strict that she couldn't see that she was lying, "She was asking me just now when she was not sure what it meant. ”

The English teacher knew that Song Yimian studied well and was a very well-behaved student, so he easily believed his words and asked Tao You: "Is it clear now?" ”

Tao You nodded: "It's clear." ”

"Don't ask now, if you have any questions, come to me after class. Whether you choose liberal arts or science at that time, English is a test to be taken, don't slack off. After the English teacher finished speaking, he turned around and went to the other group to check.

The first is a physics class.

Tao You's junior high school, physics, chemistry, and biology are combined, each of which is not very deep, and her foundation is not very good, so she understands a little slowly at this time.

But the teacher will not wait for her to be alone, and will continue to talk about knowledge points one after another, turning over the pages of books, and interspersing some extracurricular knowledge from time to time. Tao You was busy copying notes, the previous knowledge point had not been fully understood, the teacher had already talked about the next one, she was anxious in her heart, and she listened in a fog.

"This is a very typical Taoist question, write down the question," the teacher wrote the question on the blackboard, knocked on the blackboard and said, "I just talked about the knowledge points, I asked a person to come up and solve it, and I didn't call it to do it below." ”

The students below just raised their heads to look at the teacher, but now they all lowered their heads, hoping that the teacher would not call themselves, especially Tao You, whose faces were about to be buried in the book, and silently recited in their hearts: Don't call me, don't call me......

"Whoever has the lowest head will be called." The teacher has been calling books for so many years, and he is clear about the thoughts of the students below, and his face is gentle, "I just see if you all understand what you just said, don't be nervous, if you don't understand, just come to the office and ask me after class later." ”

Who will look up, Tao You complained in his heart, look up now, and grab one by one.

He glanced around, stopped at Tao You, checked the seating chart, and called out her name: "Tao You, come up and write." I've said it all, whoever has the lowest head, I'll call whomever you want, and if you still slam it on the table, I can't even see your head. ”

Tao You stood up mechanically, why didn't this teacher play cards according to the routine. She quietly looked at Song Yimian for help.

Song Yimian pushed the finished paper to her, Tao You hurriedly looked over, only to see the final answer, the process didn't have time to look carefully, the teacher was still waiting for her on the podium, she didn't dare to delay.

I took the chalk and stood in front of the blackboard, read the topic slowly, drew one stroke at a time, and wrote down the 'solution:' vigorously, holding the chalk in my hand, leaning on the blackboard, not knowing how to continue.

Forty, how did Song Yimian calculate that it was forty. Tao You thought in his mind how to talk about it, can he calculate forty, can he write the answer directly?

"You write on a piece of paper, and you'll get the answer later." The teacher walked around the classroom with his hands behind his back, standing next to his classmates from time to time to look at their answers, and then walking away without saying a word and with a blank face.

Time passed, and a cold sweat broke out on Tao You's back: Why isn't it over yet.

"Won't do it?" The teacher returned to the blackboard and asked Tao You.

Tao nodded embarrassedly.

"Let's go down." The teacher said, "Song Yimian, you do it." ”

Tao You put down the chalk and sat back in her position, only to see Song Yimian continue to write behind the 'explanation' she had written, and it was written in just a few lines.

"Hmm." The teacher looked at Song Yimian's concise steps and nodded with satisfaction.

"Song Yimian's answer is right, have you figured it out?" The teacher put a checkmark at the end of the answer, "He used a more concise way, you can memorize it, it doesn't matter if you don't remember it, you will learn later." ”

For the first time, Tao You really realized the gap between himself and Song Yimian, the gap in learning, and the complicated emotions.

"Don't worry, I'll teach you after class." Song Yimian returned to his seat and said to Tao You.

Tao You knew his shortcomings at this time, and he also wanted to improve his grades, so he didn't choke back like before, and directly agreed: "Oh." ”

"Little Youyou, go fill up the water." The torturous physics class finally passed, and Hong Xiqi took the empty water cup to invite Tao You.

"You go first, I haven't figured out that question yet." Tao You refused.

"Okay," Hong Xiqi didn't care, and said happily, "You give me the water cup, and I'll pick it up for you." ”

Tao You took out his cup: "Thank you." ”

"This question," Song Yimian copied down the question in advance, "There are two key information ......"

Tao You listened carefully, and the originally messy topic, after he mentioned it, his thoughts were instantly clear: "Oh, I know." Tao You suddenly realized that he had made a detour, "Thank you." ”

"You make a mistake in the notebook and write this in." Song Yimian tore off the paper of the lecture and handed it to Tao You, "Review and review often"

What the university bully said must be right, Tao Youda went to the commissary to buy a book between classes, took it seriously, and wrote the questions and solution ideas into the book.
