At 6 o'clock in the morning, the whole city was still sleeping quietly, and the subway line 2 rushing to the Oriental Pearl was almost occupied by half-marathon runners carrying race spider bags.

This year's Shanghai Half Marathon started on Sunday in mid-April, more than a month earlier than last year. In order to avoid the high traffic pressure brought by the holding of the race to the Lujiazui CBD area, the starting time is still 7 o'clock in the morning, and the check-in starts at 6 o'clock, so it is inevitable to get up early to catch the subway.

The sound of WeChat on the mobile phone rings. Wang Youjie picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, but it was Bu Li. She asked, "Did you get on the subway?" ”

Buli will participate in this half marathon, and Sister Zhou told Wang Youjie before, which is not surprising. Wang Youjie was surprised, is, why did she come to contact herself? How did you know you were coming?

But after thinking about it, it is not very strange that he sent a WeChat message to Bu Li.

In fact, after returning to Shanghai after the Chinese New Year, the number of contacts between the two on WeChat gradually increased compared to before. In addition, Wang Youjie now has a weekend in addition to occasionally dealing with the blind date arrangements of his aunt and eldest aunt, other times, including evenings, in addition to studying, in fact, there is no other better way to pass the time, so he is willing to cooperate with the cloth ceremony, which can be regarded as relaxing and relaxing after his intense study and work.

Wang Youjie sent a photo of himself in the subway car, saying: "I just transferred to Line 2 from People's Park Station, and I'm almost in Lujiazui." ”

Brie sent another one: Come out at Exit 1, I'll wait for you next to the elevator above.

Take the elevator out of the subway, almost 6:20.

Although it was cloudy and there was no sun, there was still a stuffy feeling in the air. In the early morning, Pudong's landmark buildings, Jin Mao Tower, Shanghai Tower, and World Financial Center all look quiet and unusual.

At a glance, he saw that Buli was waving to him not far away.

This is the fourth time Wang Youjie has seen Bu Li. The image of Bu Li is very different from before: the biggest and most obvious change is that the long hair that used to be cut into a short hair, and a sportswear makes it look younger and sportier.

However, in this meeting, the two of them are obviously familiar with each other, and there is a lot less restraint and rawness.

Wang Youjie was just about to say hello, but Bu Li immediately pointed at him anxiously and smiled: "You think about it yourself first before you speak-"

But it was too late. Wang Youjie blurted out a serious word again: "If you take off that dress, it's easier to recognize you." ”

Although Bu Li had been prepared in his heart, he already had a certain immunity to Wang Youjie's opening remarks. But Wang Youjie spoke so loudly that he still "shocked" the people next to him. They all cast strange glances at Wang Youjie, especially Bu Li.

Bu Li was embarrassed, at this time, she really wanted to kick Wang Youjie into the subway and never see each other again.

But it is clear that this is unlikely and unrealistic. Bu Li had no choice but to grab Wang Youjie's clothes and leave quickly and fiercely.

The two hurried to the starting point. Bu Li let go of Wang Youjie, and a person in front of him did not look sideways, and his footsteps did not stop.

Wang Youjie knew that maybe he had said the wrong thing just now, so he hurried a few steps, smiled awkwardly at Bu Li, and had nothing to say: "Last night, the wind was strong and the rain didn't stop, and I was always worried about whether the game would continue today?" ”

At this time, Bu Li was actually almost relieved, because she already had a certain understanding of Wang Youjie, and knew that he didn't have other bad intentions, so she didn't bother to care about it anymore.

She softened her tone and echoed: "Yes, fortunately, the weather is beautiful, the wind and rain have stopped this morning, and there is no big sun, it does look like a better running weather!" ”

Bully asked again, I heard that you have been promoted now?

Wang Youjie smiled and didn't make a sound.

"Or is bureaucracy killing people?!" Bu Li sneered and said, "Why did I hear that Sister Zhou helped you do everything before and after you participated in the half-marathon this time?" It seems that as soon as some people become sesame officials, their true nature is all exposed? ”

Wang Youjie only bowed his head and walked forward.

Seeing that Wang Youjie did not speak, Bu Li continued: "I was joking with you just now. Originally, I was thinking last night, if I can't run this time because of the weather, then I just focus on the rankings, anyway, everyone is racing in the same environment! It is my goal to go straight to the horse, and although the results of last year's race are estimated to have been straight, I don't dare to guarantee it without official documents. Besides, if everyone's level has improved, will the threshold also be raised accordingly? ”

Wang Youjie was surprised, looked up and asked, "Your qualification for the competition turned out to be a direct one?!。 ”

"yes, is that weird?" Bu Li asked with a smile and tilted his head.

Wang Youjie knows that the top 300 runners of the Shanghai Half Marathon in the half course of the Shanghai Half Marathon can get a place in the Shanghai International Marathon held in the autumn of that year or the half event of the second year.

But he also knows that last year's contestants reached 12,000, including many professional players, how difficult it is to get the top 300 results?!

"I've been running since I was a little bit old, and I've been running for almost 10 years now, and I've participated in many half marathons and full marathons in between. But from the very beginning, I felt like I had a good hand in the registration, and I haven't drawn lots in the full marathon and half marathons so far. Seeing that other runners can't draw, I always feel that I am really lucky! ”

Wang Youjie expressed his admiration for Bu Li. He said: "I was lucky this time. However, it is the first time for me to participate in the half marathon, although in the first half of the month, I began to find a coach to consciously carry out some related training, but to be honest, it should be no problem to run more than 20 kilometers, but whether I can achieve such good results like you, I dare not expect extravagance. ”

"In this way, when you can officially run, you can just run with me." Bu Li stared at Wang Youjie with both eyes and laughed in a low voice.
