CHAPTER XV
The next morning, I arrived at school with dark circles under my eyes, and I was listless. During class, I couldn't help but look at Geng Fan's back, but the teacher found out and reminded me by name, I hurriedly concentrated on listening, but after a while, I couldn't help but look at her.
After a morning of confusion, Wu Wenxu noticed my abnormality and asked the reason for it, but I was just casually perfunctory. At that time, I was still too young, and I was ashamed to talk about my crush on Geng Fan, especially after learning that she might have a boyfriend, and I was ashamed to play the role of a third party. But if I want to give up but I am unwilling, where to go and really entangle the dead...
After lunch, Wu Wenxu dragged me to the playground to play ball, and my mood was really relaxed after the exercise. At this time, due to Cao Yubin's passing error, the basketball flew out of the court and rolled to the corner of the playground. Cao Yubin was lazy and didn't want to go over to pick up the ball, but waved to a few students who were playing there from afar and shouted, "Hey! Help me throw the balls! Thank you! ”
At first, the other party didn't notice him, but when he noticed it, Cao Yubin was already impatient, and the other party ignored him when he heard that his mouth was not clean. Cao Yubin was furious when he saw this, and ran straight over with a scolding grin, and a few of us hurriedly followed behind for fear that he would cause trouble. The other party didn't know what was going on, but when they saw seven or eight people coming over from our side, they all stopped playing and watched our every move.
"Didn't you hear you?!" Cao Yubin shouted, he was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart after seeing that the other party was also a first-year junior high school student.
At this time, the other party stood up with a small flat head, slanted his eyes and said to him, "What do you say?" ”
"I told you to throw the balls!" Cao Yubin stared at Xiao Pingtou and said.
Xiao Pingtou snorted coldly, his expression was very disdainful, and he didn't pay attention to Cao Yubin.
Seeing this, Cao Yubin was even more angry and shouted, "Why did I say that you should throw the ball over to me, do you hear?!" ”
The situation at the scene suddenly became tense, and I knew that this matter was my own fault, so I quickly stood up and played a round. I pulled Cao Yubin and complained, "Okay, okay, isn't it just picking up a ball, you won't say it well!" ”
Cao Yubin was angry, and when he saw me come out to persuade him, although he no longer spoke, he still looked at Xiao Pingtou with good eyes. Seeing his virtue, I had no choice but to persuade Xiao Pingtou instead, "Forget it, it's all one grade, it's not right for us, I'm sorry!" ”
Xiao Pingtou saw that I was speaking more politely, so he nodded his head and said to Cao Yubin: "Don't be so impulsive next time!" After saying that, he beckoned a few boys to continue playing.
Who knew that Cao Yubin still didn't give up, and scolded "SB" casually, but Xiao Pingtou heard it, and led someone to turn around and rush back, standing straight in front of Cao Yubin. The two people stood looking at each other, the distance was very close, and they were about to kiss from the side. . . I saw Xiao Pingtou pushing Cao Yubin down with his chest, and shouted, "Who are you scolding?" Who are you scolding? ”
Not to be outdone, Cao Yubin turned back and said, "What about you!" Scold you! ”
I covered my face and said in my heart that it was a vain persuasion just now. Just as the two of them were about to raise their fists and move, they suddenly heard someone shouting "Stop!" not far behind them. Why? When everyone looked back, it turned out that the dean was hurrying towards this direction.
Seeing that the dean of education had arrived, the two of them had no choice but to stop. When he got closer, he said coldly with a calm face, "What happened just now?" Are you going to fight? ”
Cao Yubin and Xiao Pingtou are both bowing their heads and silent at the moment, I said in my heart, didn't you just compare one to the other, why are you cowardly at this time? I sighed secretly and said to the dean of students, "Mr. Zhang (the dean's surname is Zhang), there was no fight, there was no fight, we were playing together just now, maybe the defensive action was a bit big, you were talking about this when you came over." ”
Because the two of them didn't do it after all, the teaching director was not easy to blame, and explained, "Play well, don't fight, and pay attention to it in the future." It's almost time for class, let's go back! ”
Everyone said yes and walked to the teaching building one after another. Because only our class was on the second floor of the five classes in the first grade, when a few of us turned the corner and went upstairs, Xiao Pingtou stood at the top of the stairs and said viciously to Cao Yubin, "Class 5, right, Sun thief, this matter is not over today!" ”
Cao Yubin looked down at Xiao Pingtou and said without showing weakness, "That's right, grandpa, I am from class 5!" Niu B, you come to me! Heads-up, code people you pick! ”
Xiao Pingtou nodded angrily, gritted his back molars and said, "Okay!" You cow B! You're waiting for me! Then he turned and walked away.
Cao Yubin snorted contemptuously, looked at the back of Xiao Pingtou, and scolded, "SB! "This time he was very loud, just to make the other party hear.
Sure enough, Xiao Pingtou was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't stop and disappeared at the end of the corridor with people.
On the way back to the classroom, several people who were present just now gathered around Cao Yubin and asked long and short questions, "Do you know what class they are in?" "Do you think he's going to come for you?" "You've got to be ready!"
I listened silently on the side and didn't speak, thinking that Cao Yubin was cheap about this matter just now, and if I couldn't talk well, I had to pretend to be B. Look at the meaning that Xiao Pingtou will never give up, and if you really bring someone to the door to see how you end.
But I didn't expect that Xiao Pingtou didn't appear for a few days, which made Cao Yubin proud, and when he met people, he said that he didn't take Xiao Pingtou seriously at all, if he dared to squeeze out his egg yolk and feed the flies...
For the next few days, I kept secretly observing Geng Fan, trying to determine whether she had a boyfriend from the clues of her daily life, but in vain. I also fantasized about asking her about it in person, but I didn't have the courage to hide in the corner and feel sad.
It was a Friday and the weather was nice. Wu Wenxu and I rode together to the Institute of Construction Engineering at the intersection of Exhibition Road, and gathered at the school gate according to the requirements. Teacher Zhang Li came very early, and when she saw us coming, she beckoned everyone to come over. After more than a month of contact, I found that Ms. Zhang Li is a very easy-going person on weekdays, so I don't have so many constraints when I am with her, and sometimes I will joke.
After a while, Sun Lili also arrived, and after greeting Teacher Zhang Li, she chatted with the others, but ignored me. I wasn't angry about this, so I quietly leaned behind her and shouted in her ear, "Morning! It only scared her into a spirit, and she turned around and scolded, "You are sick! I laughed and ran away. Teacher Zhang Li covered her mouth and smiled while laughing, and said to me, "You are really annoying!" ”
At this time, Zhang Xiaobo also came to the side of Teacher Zhang Li, this grandson usually curries favor in front of the teacher as long as he has the opportunity. I got goosebumps all over my body as he frothed, and I waved at him in between their chats. Zhang Xiaobo didn't want to come over, but when he saw me gesturing on a bicycle and pointed at Teacher Zhang Li, he still reluctantly walked over.
Seeing me looking at myself with a smile, Zhang Xiaobo looked bitter and asked, "Squad leader, do you have something to do with me?" ”
"It's nothing, I just saw you and said hello." I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's sit next to each other for a while, otherwise it will be inconvenient to eat." ”
Zhang Xiaobo has been blackmailed by me recently, but I have no choice but to force a smile, looking at him is even more ugly than crying.
When I was chatting with Zhang Xiaobo, I suddenly saw Geng Fan's figure in the crowd, and my attention was instantly attracted. She deliberately wore a black bow hairpin today, pinning one side of her hair behind her ear, revealing her entire face, which looked more bright and shining.
After a while, all the workers and wives arrived, and after the whole team gathered, all members entered the School of Construction Engineering. All the classes lined up in the playground, and the principal first gave an opening speech: "Good morning, teachers and students! The golden autumn is cool, and the valley is fragrant. In this harvest season, all the teachers and students of WSHS Middle School are full of joy and full of spirit, and gather together to hold a grand autumn sports meeting... "After that, the classes entered in a separate line with the "Athlete's March" (one question that has plagued me for so many years is what the end of the "Athlete's March" looks like). Every year, when the sports day is entered, the school will play that piece of music on a loop, and when all the classes have finished, the music will stop abruptly wherever it is played, and it is still unknown whether the whole piece has an ending.
"Look, now coming to us is the first (1) class of junior high school, they are high-spirited, full of youthful vitality, with a confident smile, stepping on neat steps, with full enthusiasm for sports, adhere to the belief of "friendship first, competition second", ready to compete in this sports meeting, play out of style, surpass themselves, win glory for the class, let us wish them success... ”
With the eloquent explanation of the announcer on the rostrum, all the classes of the school entered the venue in turn. When they were about to arrive at the rostrum, with the command of Zhao Gang, the sports commissioner, all the staff began to walk in. The rostrum in the stadium of the Institute of Construction Engineering was much larger than the one in our school, and I felt my legs sink before I was halfway through the kick. There were people in the queue who messed up the rhythm one after another, and as a result, the kicking speed of the whole team was brought faster and faster, and then everyone's heads involuntarily followed the rhythm of their feet and leaned forward, looking like a group of lame ducks coming from a distance...
The announcer on the rostrum looked up coldly, just in front of him saw the phalanx of our class, and almost laughed out loud, and suddenly remembered that he was broadcasting in front of the whole school teachers and students, so he had to cough a few times in embarrassment. Fortunately, he had a strong ability to adapt on the spot, and when he broadcast the entrance speech of our class, he had an idea to change the original "walking towards us with a neat pace" to "walking towards us with a cheerful pace".
In fact, we don't need to be told by others, we also know that our steps are very messy, and before we reach the finish line, the members of the team start to complain to each other. Everyone accused the people around them of kicking too fast, and then all the fingers pointed at Xu Xiangchen, who was standing in the second row of boys near the tail, and put the blame on him. Xu Xiangchen was in a hurry, and it was difficult to argue, and he cried out with a "wow" in a hurry, not to mention how lively the whole phalanx was...
Finally came to the end, Teacher Zhang Li has been waiting here, she heard the chicken and goose fighting in her class phalanx, and she did not complain after seeing us like defeated quails, but encouraged us to say that it doesn't matter if the entrance ceremony is not good, the most important thing now is to unite and win back the lost honor in the next game! With her encouragement, the gloom in everyone's hearts was swept away, and the class cohesion rose again. I also secretly made up my mind to win glory for the class in today's competition!
After all the members were seated, the sports meeting officially began. The middle and long distance running events were the first to start, followed by the sprint events, and the high jump, long jump, and shot put events were held simultaneously on one side of the field. Each athlete participating in the race has a number, pinned it to his chest, and checks it in at the check-in desk before the start of the race.
Zhao Gang and I distributed numbers to the students in the class, my number was 145, and I took a special look at Geng Fan's number on the list was 132.
When it was sent to Geng Fan, I looked down and looked for the number, and my mind was a mess. In fact, I had something to say to her, but because I was timid and shy, I didn't say a word at the moment, and silently handed the number into her hands.
After receiving the number, Geng Fan smiled at me and said softly, "Thank you!" ”
I said "you're welcome" and followed Zhao Gang to continue distributing numbers.
I silently recited my name in my heart, Geng Tong, Geng Tong, you are a waste! Don't even dare to say a word to the girl you like, you deserve to be sad all day long! She has a boyfriend so you can't talk to her? Besides, it's not certain if she has a boyfriend or not! What can you do if you just give her a boost? Just say it out loud to her!
I suddenly stopped, mustered up the courage to turn around, and said in an almost inaudible voice to Geng Fan's back, "Come on later... ”
Although the words I wanted to say were finally spoken, she would definitely not be able to hear such a small voice, I sighed and turned around to leave, when I suddenly heard Geng Fan's voice behind me, "The surname Geng, you have to come on!" ”
I was overjoyed and looked back to find Geng Fan standing behind me with a smile on his face. I've never seen such a sweet smile, and I can't help but freeze in place like a wood carving clay sculpture.
