At three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day.

An ordinary school bus of Xihe University, carrying the participating teams of Xihe City, set off silently from the school and drove to the provincial capital - Xidu in an extremely low-key manner.

In the car, in addition to Su Zhong, the special driver of the Su family, there were four other people.

They are Su Yunyan, the head and coach of the Xihe City delegation, who is responsible for the daily management of the entire team during the competition.

There is also Wu Qian, deputy director of the Xihe City Sports Committee, who is responsible for communicating and coordinating with the main committee of the event, she is an ordinary-looking woman in her thirties, and she has a good relationship with Su Yunyan.

Then there is Guo Xingzhi of the Xihe University swimming team, she is another athlete in Xihe City this time, with short hair, an even figure, and a heroic posture at a glance. She is a sophomore and a strong swimmer who is expected to reach the finals of two swimming events.

There is also Jiang Xiaoliu, who has been given high hopes by the entire Xihe City University, and his goal is to win the gold medal in all throwing events in the field competition.

Of course, this grand goal was not set by Jiang Xiaoliu, but by Su Yunyan, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

In order to cancel the marriage contract with the Ye family, Su Yunyan pinned all her hopes on Jiang Xiaoliu this time, she looked ahead with a smile in her hand, as long as she thought of the Ye family's deflated in front of her, Su Yunyan's mood became extremely comfortable.

In the back row of the seat, Wu Qian was looking down at the relevant information of the Universiade.

Jiang Xiaoliu was looking at the rapidly regressing scenery outside the car window, he rarely went out by car, as an orphan, the last time he went to Linshi, was two years ago with Uncle Sun and Sun Yuanyuan.

Sitting next to Jiang Xiaoliu was Guo Xingzhi, who was speechless, she was wearing a school sports uniform, glancing at Jiang Xiaoliu from time to time, but quickly shifted her gaze to Su Yunyan.

Guo Xingzhi looked at it like this for a while, and she found that Su Yunyan gradually focused her eyes on herself, so she hurriedly closed her eyes and rested.

"Student Guo, don't be under too much pressure."

Su Yunyan didn't doubt him, and thought that Guo Xingzhi was feeling the pressure of facing Jiang Xiaoliu, so she persuaded loudly: "The school didn't give you a task this time, just try your best, play in style, and show your level." ”

In fact, Su Yunyan said nothing wrong, she was relieving pressure on athletes.

But what Su Yunyan didn't know was that Guo Xingzhi snorted coldly in her heart, and she said unhappily: "Su Yunyan, I know that you only care about Jiang Xiaoliu's performance in your heart, he represents the interests of the entire Xihe City, hum, dogs look down on people!" ”

Guo Xingzhi's heart was dark, but her face was as steady as a dog, in Su Yunyan's words, she opened her eyes and said with a smile: "Thank you Dean Su for your relief, I don't have any pressure, I am already very happy to be able to represent Xihe City in the competition." ”

Su Yunyan nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

And Jiang Xiaoliu glanced at Guo Xingzhi deeply, always feeling that he had seen her somewhere, but he couldn't remember it anyway. He sat next to Guo Xingzhi, and saw her fingers secretly clenched just now, as if Guo Xingzhi had some hatred hidden in her heart.

"Jiang Xiaoliu, you have to come on, the honor of Xihe City depends on you."

Guo Xingzhi pretended to cheer Jiang Xiaoliu on and clenched his fists.

Jiang Xiaoliu smiled, said you should also come on, and turned his head out of the car window again.

Guo Xingzhi slowly closed his eyes, and no one in the car spoke.

Two hours later, the school bus arrived at the host city of the Universiade, the capital of the western states of Wuzhou State.

Because the number of participants in Xihe City was too small, it did not attract the attention of the Universiade Organizing Committee, so only one receptionist was sent to receive Su Yunyan and his party of five.

The five people were settled in the designated hotel to rest, and the receptionist said that the hotel room was tight during the Universiade, and only three rooms were arranged for the Xihe City team.

One room is for Su Yunyan to live alone, one room for Guo Xingzhi and Wu Qian, and one room for Jiang Xiaoliu and Su Zhong.

Wu Qian, who was in charge of communication, originally wanted to go to the organizing committee to reason, but was dissuaded by Su Yunyan, who said that this arrangement was the best, showing that the organizing committee did not value the Xihe City team and acted in a low-key manner, which was conducive to Jiang Xiaoliu and Guo Xingzhi achieving good results in the competition.

The five of them settled down and found a restaurant outside the hotel where they stayed for dinner.

During the dinner, Wu Qian took the lead in opening her mouth.

"Alas, they all complain that our Xihe City sports are too backward." Although Wu Qian listened to Su Yunyan's persuasion, she still complained: "Obviously, our city is an economically strong city, but the people in the city never attach importance to sports. It must be known that a strong country must first strengthen the body, and the premise of strengthening the body is the popularization and promotion of sports. ”

"Director Wu said very well, the sports level of Xihe City has plummeted in recent years, and I remember that the last time I won a medal in the Universiade, it was already when I was studying." Su Zhong was also dissatisfied: "If it weren't for our Su family standing in Xihe City, Xihe City would have been forgotten by the world a long time ago!"

"Su Zhong, what are you talking nonsense?" Su Yunyan glared at Su Zhong: "Without Xihe City, there would be no Su family, don't talk nonsense for a day." ”

was glared at by the second lady, Su Zhong immediately said yes, and when he ate next, he didn't speak again.

The five of them ate for a while, Su Yunyan took out a form and talked about the situation on the night of the opening ceremony.

As we all know, whenever a large-scale sports meeting opens, there will be an athletes' entrance ceremony, and under normal circumstances, the athletes who raise the flag or sign are the face of the delegation.

But this time, when Guo Xingzhi proposed that Jiang Xiaoliu raise the card, Su Yunyan vetoed it, she was worried that Jiang Xiaoliu's rescue video had not completely passed, and she was afraid that she would be recognized when she raised the card, which would cause an uproar.

In the end, after discussion, it was Guo Xingzhi who held up the sign on behalf of Xihe City, and Jiang Xiaoliu didn't even have to attend the opening ceremony.

Su Yunyan decided to hide Jiang Xiaoliuxue until the opening day of the field competition on the seventh!

After making a series of arrangements, the five of them returned to the hotel to rest.

The double room where Jiang Xiaoliu and Su Zhong lived, it was less than nine o'clock that night, Su Zhong said that he had something urgent to do, and said hello to Jiang Xiaoliu and left in a hurry.

When he first arrived in the provincial capital, Jiang Xiaoliu seemed a little excited, and he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning in bed, so he had to go out of the room and walk to the garden rest area upstairs of the hotel.

The lights of the provincial city in the night are brilliant, Jiang Xiaoliu stood in the garden area and looked downstairs, only to see that the highways everywhere were full of traffic, the flow of people was like weaving, and the pace of life of the people in the provincial capital was obviously much faster than that of Xihe City.

After standing for a while, Jiang Xiaoliu saw Guo Xingzhi coming, under the light at night, the slender Guo Xingzhi looked unique, she was a strong swimmer, and her body exuded the vitality of youth.

Originally, Guo Xingzhi was looking at her mobile phone with her head down, but when she looked up and saw Jiang Xiaoliu looking at herself, she put her mobile phone in her trouser pocket, walked to Jiang Xiaoliu's side, put her arms on the fence of the garden, and asked, "What's the matter, can't you sleep too?" ”

Jiang Xiaoliu said: "I'm new to Xidu, so I can't sleep with excitement. Senior Sister Guo, is it the first time you have come to the provincial capital? ”

Guo Xingzhi shook his head and said, "I've been here several times, mostly to participate in various swimming competitions. However, this is the first time to represent Xihe City in the national sports meeting, and I am a little nervous. ”

As she spoke, Guo Xingzhi turned around and leaned her back against the fence, she was still wearing sportswear, the same as Jiang Xiaoliu's.

She put her right foot on the fence wall, clasped her hands on her chest, faced Jiang Xiaoliu head-on, blinked her eyes and said, "I don't have as good athletic talent as you, and I don't have that strong strength, so I'm very worried." Once I didn't get a good ranking, my graduation became a problem. ”

Jiang Xiaoliu asked puzzled what was going on, and Guo Xingzhi sighed and explained, saying that her academic grades were very poor, and if she couldn't make a breakthrough in the physical education major class, there was a high probability that she would not be able to graduate smoothly.

Therefore, Guo Xingzhi pinned all his hopes for successfully obtaining a graduation certificate on this competition. Once she didn't get good results in the competition, she couldn't get her graduation certificate and couldn't go home to face her mother.

"My parents divorced early, my mother raised me alone, for so many years, my mother has worked hard to raise me, if I don't make it, how can I be worthy of my mother......"

As he spoke, Guo Xingzhi's eyes moistened.

Jiang Xiaoliu hurriedly approached, took out a tissue from his pocket, handed it to Guo Xingzhi, and comforted: "No wonder in the car when I came, I found that something seemed wrong with you, and I thought you hated someone." But I never thought that you were so stressed. Senior Sister Guo, just do your best, I believe Dean Su can see your hard work. ”

Guo Xingzhi wiped his eyes with paper and squeezed out a smile: "Thank you, classmate Jiang......"

As far as her eyes went, she saw a beautiful figure walking over, Guo Xingzhi pursed a sly smile at the corner of her mouth, and then suddenly stretched out her arms and hugged Jiang Xiaoliu, who was standing very close, into her arms.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, thank you so much!"

Guo Xingzhi kept thanking, her hugging behavior made Jiang Xiaoliu's entire body tense, it was the first time he felt hugged by a mature woman, and the warmth on his chest had just risen, and he heard the sound of footsteps rushing away behind him.

This kind of sound of high heels hitting the ground, Jiang Xiaoliu has been familiar with recently, it is the footsteps belonging to Su Yunyan.

Knowing that Su Yunyan was coming, Jiang Xiaoliu hurriedly pushed Guo Xingzhi away, looked back behind him, and only saw Su Yunyan's back walking quickly.

What Jiang Xiaoliu didn't know was that when he turned his head to look at Su Yunyan's back, a ghostly smile appeared on Guo Xingzhi's face.

This scheming's smile, Guo Xingzhi thought that no one saw it, but he didn't know that Ling'er on Jiang Xiaoliu's shoulder witnessed this scene.

Ling'er's purple eyes blinked a few times, and her eyes when she looked at Guo Xingzhi were already full of disgust!
