Chapter 36 Sports Day
Back in the classroom, Tao You avoided the classmates who were busy correcting the answers, tried to ignore the sound of their conversations, opened the exercise books and textbooks, and began to copy resignedly.
"Xiao Youyou, how did you do in the exam?" Hong Xiqi returned to the classroom, saw Tao You bowing his head and copying the book, and asked strangely, "Tomorrow's math test, if you don't review now, what are you copying?" ”
Tao You moved the book in front of her, shook his somewhat sour hand, and said: "Copy ancient poems, I didn't write a sentence in the exam, take advantage of the time now, I'll copy it first, and then it will be easier." ”
After this period of getting along, Hong Xiqi knew that Tao You was not very good at these memorized things, and he had been listening to her chatter about these things before the exam, but he didn't expect something to go wrong. She patted Tao You's shoulder to comfort her, and after a while, she turned back and said, "Why don't I copy some for you?" ”
Tao You didn't raise his head, his eyes turned between the book and the notebook, and he said gratefully: "No need, the handwriting of the two of us is too different, the teacher can see it at a glance." Hurry up and review the math, don't you say in the morning that the math is not very good. ”
Hong Xiqi saw Tao You say this, and it was right to think about it, the teacher's eyes were not blind or blind, but he was a little short-sighted, so he couldn't see the handwriting, so he turned around and continued to review the math mistakes.
The four-day exam passed in the blink of an eye, and on the day of the opening ceremony of the sports meeting, the weather was very good, the sky was clear, and the soft sunlight and the slow cool breeze complemented each other, making people feel comfortable physically and mentally. The path to the playground is covered with yellow leaves, and the whole campus is filled with the smell of autumn.
"Xiao Youyou, don't be sad, the sports meeting, happy, exams and everything are in the past." Hong Xiqi comforted Tao You.
Tao You's exam this time, except for mathematics, the others are more or less regretful, and she intuitively feels that her ranking will drop a lot this time: "Hey, don't comfort me, I don't know how to explain to my mother." ”
"Do you really think you didn't do well in the exam?" Song Yimian walked up to her, frowned and asked, "I told you last time, don't let Song Xiaoan come over, she will definitely disturb you, what did she tell you that time?" ”
Tao You's heart is weak, Song Xiaoan recommended the novel to her last time, she basically finished reading it, although she repeatedly promised Song Xiaoan at that time that she would not touch it before the exam, but she just couldn't suppress her curiosity, and in the next few days of vacation, she stayed up late almost every day to read novels, and she couldn't fully concentrate when reviewing, and her homework was done before school.
She remembered that she had sworn to Song Yimian that Song Xiaoan would not affect her, and said stiffly: "Which eye did you see Song Xiaoan disturbing me that day, didn't she just chat and gossip for a while after eating, and she would quietly do her homework over there in the afternoon!" You don't see it all. Although Song Xiaoan told her about the novel, she had already warned Tao You not to read it during this time, she could only say that she couldn't live if she did her own thing.
Song Yimian was so choked by her that she couldn't say anything, took out a piece of candy from her pocket, and handed it to Tao You: "It's just an exam, don't be sad, this exam is not difficult, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of ranking drops." ”
"It's just that I didn't do a lot of questions, and I didn't say anything." Hong Xiqi said kindly, "I have a relay race later, you have to cheer me up, cheer up." ”
Tao You took a deep breath, smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, don't think about those bad things, anyway, everything has already happened, it's useless to regret it, accept the result calmly, sincerely correct your mistakes, and don't make any more mistakes: "Don't worry, I will definitely cheer you up then, take water and towels and wait for you at the finish line." ”
"I'm running third." Hong Xiqi circled Tao You's neck and reminded, "Don't be mistaken, you can bring it to me after the third lap." ”
Tao You nodded, patted his chest, and said confidently: "Don't worry, wrap it on me, I will definitely hand it to you in time!" ”
The opening ceremony was not as boring as imagined, after the class entered, the freshman sat on the lawn in the middle of the playground with a chair, and the sophomore sat in the stands, and the principal's speech was short and capable, as if guessing that the students below would be impatient. The opening ceremony ended quickly, and as the athletes' march sounded, the men's 100-meter and 50-meter preliminaries began to be checked-in.
It's not so much a sports meeting, but an image of the autumn outing, everyone brought a schoolbag, filled with all kinds of snacks, the game hasn't started yet, and they can't wait to open it and share it around, each item is more like an embellishment in the 'autumn outing', which seems dispensable.
Gu Yi didn't dare to really report many events to Song Yimian, only 3,000 meters, high jump and 100 meters.
Song Yimian took off his coat, walked to the check-in office to sign in, and did warm-up activities.
"Brother Mian, come on, don't be nervous, a hundred meters is not a piece of cake for you." Gu Yi patted Song Yimian on the shoulder and said.
Song Yimian laughed, glanced at him, his shoulders collapsed, Gu Yi's hand slipped off, and he continued to move his ankles without answering.
"Let's go through the process." Gu Yi smiled and said, "I know that you have good psychological quality, eh, I will try to break a record later." ”
To put it mildly, it's like saying I'll have fried noodles for lunch later.
Tao You put his things on the seat, and also walked to the check-in office, and finally squeezed in from outside the crowd, and the referee came over and shouted: "Man 100 meters!" Come with me! ”
Before Tao You could find Song Yimian, he was pushed and shoved by the crowd and walked out.
"Song Xiaopang." Tao You found Song Yimian at the starting line. Everyone looked at her voice, wondering who she was talking about.
Song Yimian frowned slightly, lowered his head and whispered to Tao You: "Can you stop calling me Song Xiaopang, I'm not fat now, I've seen your name." The autumn wind blew, blowing the hair on Song Yimian's forehead, and the warm sunlight brushed his slightly reddened cheeks.
Tao You pinned the hair blown in front of him behind his ears, looked around, looked back at Song Yimian, and laughed: "Yo, you will still be shy, it's rare." Don't worry, your black history, God knows, you know me, oh, and the family knows, and no outsiders will know. ”
"But as soon as you shout like this, you can figure it out with a slight turn of your brain." Song Yimian couldn't cry or laugh, and said helplessly.
"Eh," Tao You touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, hammered his arm, and said, "How many people in the world were fat when they were young, this is not black history, you don't care about this now, run hard, don't embarrass our class." ”
The "beep" whistle sounded, and the referee stood on the sidelines and reminded, "Those who don't compete will walk off the track!" ”
As the gunshots rang out, the first group started running, shouting one after another, and with the background music, all kinds of cheering words continued to come out from the horns.
Tao You returned to class and was stopped by Hong Xiqi: "Xiao Youyou, I'm nervous, my muscles are stiff." ”
She squatted down, helped Hong Xiqi with a massage, and encouraged: "Take a deep breath, it's important to participate, you don't have to win the award, you just do your best." ”
After a while, the 100-meter preliminaries ended, and Song Yimian entered the final with the first place in the group.
"Little Youyou, when is your one thousand and five?" Hong Xiqi took a sip of water and asked.
Tao You recalled for a moment and said, "Tomorrow morning, hey, I'm really catching ducks on the shelves." ”
"It's a big deal, I'll finish the next few laps." Hong Xiqi patted Tao You's shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, it's time to exercise." ”
The day ended quickly, Song Yimian successfully won the championship, but did not break the record, and Hong Xiqi's relay race was also a surprising result.
In the evening, Tao You and Hong Xiqi returned to the dormitory talking and laughing, and Chen Lian was already there, sitting quietly at the table studying.
Tao You looked at her, smiled, and returned to the table.
"Chen Lian, you came back so early today." Hong Xiqi greeted her.
Chen Lian raised her head slightly and responded with a soft hum.
"Xiao Youyou, you two hurry up and reconcile, I'm caught in the middle, I'm worried every day, it's too uncomfortable." Hong Xiqi followed, bumped Tao You's shoulder, and leaned into her ear to speak.
Tao You looked back at Chen Lian's back, indifferent, and urged Hong Xiqi to go back: "I know, you just said that you were uncomfortable, hurry up and take a bath, I'll wash it later." ”
Hong Xiqi was still not at ease, but he still went to the bathroom slowly.
There was a sound of water in the bathroom, Tao You spread out a book in front of her, but she didn't turn a page after a while, she looked out the window with her cheeks, it was quiet outside, there was no moon, no stars, only a dark blue sky and a few clouds, she was so distracted until there was no sound of water in the bathroom.
Tao You knew that the problem between herself and Chen Lian would have to be solved sooner or later, the originally noisy dormitory had been too quiet these days, Hong Xiqi's big voice was sandwiched in the middle, and her voice in the dormitory was much quieter, and she finally made a decision.
She opened the drawer, took out two bags of snacks, and glanced at Chen Lian twice before standing up and walking towards her.
"Chen Lian, is there any misunderstanding between us? If there's something I've done that you don't agree with, you can just say it. Tao You asked bluntly, and he still couldn't stop being nervous in his heart.
Chen Lian raised her head when she heard the voice, her face was a little surprised, she opened her mouth, and then shook her head: "No, I'm just under a lot of pressure recently." ”
Tao You looked at Chen Lian's appearance and knew that she had nothing to say, but since she shook her head, it shouldn't be a big problem: "Then we can be reconciled?" ”
Chen Lian nodded very little, Tao You was not sure whether she agreed or not, waited for a while, and seeing that Chen Lian did not intend to continue talking, Tao You's lunch turned the page: "This is my newly bought snack, it's delicious, for you." She put the snack on Chen Lian's table.
"Thank you." Chen Lian said, glanced at the package, pushed it aside, and continued to write her homework.
The first event on the second day of the Games was the 1005 finals, and Tao You and Chen Lian were preparing for the activities at the starting point.
"Little Youyou, Chen Lian, come on! I'll run with you, don't be nervous. Hong Xiqi was holding two bottles of water on the side, cheering Chen Lian and Tao You.
"Kiki, why don't you run for me, I'm so nervous that I want to vomit." Tao You retreated, his heart beating suddenly, his speed getting faster and faster, and the impact feeling became more and more violent, as if he was about to jump out of his chest.
"Xiao Youyou, I can promise you other requirements, this can't work," Hong Xiqi shook his head repeatedly, "I don't have the physical strength, I really can't, but I will accompany you." ”
Tao You licked his thirsty lips, sighed, and moved his almost stiff limbs: "Chen Lian, you run fast, you can take me later." ”
"Hmm." Chen Lian replied lightly.
Receiving Chen Lian's response, Tao You relaxed a little.
"Ready!" The referee shouted from the sidelines, holding an air gun.
"Bang!" The gunshots rang out, leaving a trail of gray smoke in their wake.
Tao You followed closely by Chen Lian's side and ran on the outer road.
"Tao You, don't run away, it's okay to run behind, there are still a few laps!" Song Yimian shouted at Tao You on the lawn, "You run more than others like this." ”
Tao You couldn't listen to anything at this time, only the endless runway and Chen Lian beside her were left in front of her, this was just the beginning, she couldn't remember how many laps this was, she only knew that she had to follow Chen Lian and couldn't fall behind.
"Adjust your breathing." Song Yimian didn't know when to run to her and said to her, "Inhale and exhale, inhale through your nose and exhale with your mouth, don't rush, take your time." Come on, it's already the second lap, so stop and walk for a while if you can't run. ”
Tao You obediently began to adjust her breathing, her open mouth had already been dried by the wind, trying to swallow the saliva, flowing through her throat, it was itchy and a little painful, she frowned, opened her mouth slightly, and just wanted to finish it quickly.
"Come on, come on, the last 100 meters, sprint!" Song Yimian accompanied the whole race, and finally sprinted and couldn't run with him, so he stopped at the last corner and ran to the finish line in the ultra-short lane to wait.
Tao You was still running in the outer circle, side by side with Chen Lian, her face was pale, she had lost the ability to think, and her legs were completely mechanical and stride forward.
Chen Lian, who was running in the inner road, still had time to take a look at Tao You at this time, but she didn't expect her to follow her all the time, and she sped up a little faster.
Tao You gritted her teeth and began to speed up, and the final sprint only left the innermost track and a half, and there were many people standing on her path, unable to take a step at all, trying to lean towards Chen Lian.
The first place was about to be produced in Tao You and Chen Lian, her ears were filled with all kinds of shouts, and the people behind her chased after her, following behind Chen Lian, Tao You couldn't squeeze between the two, she tried to overtake Chen Lian, but she was blocked by her every time.
"Little Youyou, run up!" Hong Xiqi shouted from the side.
Tao You frowned, his whole face looked a little hideous, and his legs, which seemed to be hanging a thousand-pound sandbag before, were suddenly full of strength, and he rushed forward with all his strength.
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
The closer you get to the finish line, the more shouts.
Suddenly, Tao You's feet slumped and she threw herself forward, her eyes widened, her mouth was too surprised to make a sound, and she could only watch the ground get closer and closer to her.
"Little Quiet!"
"Cubs!"
"Stand up, rush!"
"Stand up!"
