The first year of three years of junior high school is over.

At the end of May, we went to No. 3 Middle School, where the third and fourth place contests of Jiangyuan No. 1 Middle School and Taodu Middle School were held as a neutral venue. This is the curtain call battle between Tao Tao and the seniors. The lineup of the coach is dominated by second-year junior high school students, and several seniors who do not have many opportunities have started one after another. The two sides put down the pressure and played a big score. The captain first used a corner kick to assist Yuan Yikong to open the scoring, and then received a pass from Tao Tao to expand the score. Momoto pulled one back at the end of the first half. In the second half, Mu Zheng and Yan Xi appeared one after another, and the latter assisted the former to score with a header, but Taodu soon scored another goal, and the score came to 3:2. The captain's free-kick shot caused the Momoto goalkeeper to get out of his hands and our no.23 was smart enough to make a stop-up effort in front of goal. After Mu Zheng scored twice, the coach replaced Zeng Shuoshi with Zhao Rui. At the end of the game, Yan Xi used his personal ability to connect three people and scored with his left foot. Momoto, for their part, scored their third goal of the game from the last corner. 5:3, a wonderful offensive battle, both sides played quite well, but unfortunately Zhao Rui finally conceded a goal and failed to complete the clean sheet. We got a bronze medal, which was a fulfillment of our previous promise and allowed Tao Tao to leave with a medal. The third place is also the best result in the history of No. 1 High School.

Maybe the third place is happier than the second place, and everyone is smiling the moment they receive the medal.

As soon as Children's Day passed, the final was played in the outer field of the Olympic Sports Center. There were a lot of spectators there, but I thought it was in the Olympic Sports Center. The Olympic stadium is a stadium with a capacity of no less than 80,000 people, and although it is not a professional football stadium, it is also extremely magnificent. It is said that our city's teams have an attendance of more than 30,000 per game. I don't know what it's like to play under the gaze of 30,000 people, but Ye Ruiyang said that the final of Japan's high school league is played in a professional football stadium that has hosted the World Cup final, and it is broadcast nationwide, and the number of live viewers is even more than that of the J-League, which is an annual festival.

If Uchida returns to Japan, will he be able to play in such a game? What level is he at among Japanese students? At least for us, he's outstanding. Foreign schools and Kitagawa, the opponents of last year's finals, met again this year. On the day of the competition, I received several invitations to watch the competition, including Pu Yun and Ah Hua, as well as the organizing committee. The coach told me that there would be an award ceremony after the game and the winners would be invited to watch the finals and receive their awards after the game.

But instead of receiving the award, I hope that the other school can win the championship.

The tone of the whole game was set in the third minute. Liu Chi was hit in the arm by Beichuan's cross when he was directing the defense in the penalty area, and the referee decisively blew for a penalty, and Jin Min did it in one fell swoop. The next hour of the game was long and dull, and the colonel tried his best to equalize, but was constantly defused by Kitagawa, who was firmly defending the counterattack. No wonder Ye Ruiyang said that since ancient times, the final has been nameless, and the duel under the scorching sun is simply a torture, especially for the lagging side. Ah Hua had a couple of chances, but they were all close to scoring. Pu Yun was anxious and panicked, completely out of shape, too eager to win and afraid of losing, and a few shots were ridiculously off. Yoon Il-young's absence was a heavy blow to the school. He sat alone in the front row of the audience after accumulating yellow cards and suspension, still silent, and I was embarrassed to say hello to him.

He couldn't say much. Miller told me that he went to the hospital for a check-up the night after the semi-finals (he didn't have any problems himself) and happened to meet Yoon Il-young. At that time, I learned that this classmate from Yanbian had suffered a car accident when he was a child, and he survived, but he was always unable to speak. When he reached junior high school, he was taken to Jiang Yuan's uncle's house and went to school while being treated. Football became his language.

Today, however, he could only sit silently in the stands, his back under the scorching sun seemed to belong to a soldier too old to go to battle again.

In the 57th minute, I ushered in relief, and Yin Ilrong finally buried his head in his knee in loneliness. Uchida Gaode received a free kick from Andong Woo and scored in front of the goal, the score became 2:0, and there was no suspense in the game, and Kitagawa's players rushed into the stadium to hug and celebrate. Ah Hua finally knocked on Beichuan's city for the school in the last minute of stoppage time, but unfortunately it was too late, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game at the moment of Beichuan's kickoff. Kitagawa Middle School did not fall in the same place twice in a row, and used a united defense to keep the victory. Captain Kim Min lifted the trophy that he failed to lift on the field last year, and Queen's We are the champions resounded through the audience. Before that, at the long award ceremony, my partner and I received the certificate of the best rookie lineup. This lineup is 11-a-side, which means that 11 first-year students have been selected. After months of being a netizen, I finally met Huo Yuqi, the only player who failed to make it to the knockout round but was selected for the best rookie team. Mu Zheng knows him very well, and I heard that they have known each other since childhood. Mingming also chatted with him a few words.

But I wasn't in much of a mood to greet them, but walked over to Pu Yun, who was also standing on the podium. The little fat man cried a lot after the game, and he was in a trance when he took the certificate.

Throughout the award ceremony, the champion became the biggest winner, the final MVP and cup MVP were won by Uchida and Kim Min respectively, and the best coach also belonged to Kitagawa. Mu Zheng won the Golden Boot and the best newcomer, and the captain won the assist king. After stepping down, the coach actually comforted me with some embarrassment, saying that my attendance was a little worse, otherwise I might have won the best goalkeeper. I didn't pay much attention to it, I just knew that I promised Pu Yun to go to his house tonight. This night, he'll need me by his side.

The coach announced in the last club class that due to our excellent results this year, the school sent us to Zhejiang for social practice for three days, mainly to study in Shaoxing and Hangzhou. I invited my sister, and she readily agreed. The two of us hadn't traveled together in years. My sister took over as the president of the literary club, but the president of the football club has never been decided. The coach asked each of us to fill out a form and asked everyone to vote for their next captain, vice-captain and third captain, and they couldn't vote for themselves. After we handed it in in court, she said that she would not announce it until the last day of the social practice. I guess I want us all to go to this event. Xu Mu and Yue Yin also voted, they are now members of the football club, so they will naturally go to Zhejiang together. For some reason, Yue Yin completely quit the news agency, and the football club arranged for her to be the team manager.

Tao Tao didn't go out with us, there must be a lot of things to be busy at home. His farewell was in such a hurry. In the last class meeting class of this semester, the old class finished talking about the holiday precautions, and suddenly asked him to come on stage to say goodbye to everyone. Previously, only me and Ye Ruiyang in the class probably knew about it. I just remember him bowing after saying goodbye, and everyone applauded. I don't know why I applauded, maybe out of politeness, maybe out of habit. I don't have drums. After the class meeting, everyone packed their schoolbags and went home as usual. Of course, I also saw many students go to Taotao's table to say goodbye to him. At the very least, we all said goodbye and should be able to see each other again. Although parting is sad, it is happy to know that there is a possibility of goodbye.

On the day of departure, we met at the school gate to wait for the bus. It's all familiar faces, and the few people who don't usually come out often are not absent. Yan Xi told us that it took a lot of effort for him to get his mother to let him out of the house. "Little Leaf" also came, this time without a wig, it was even cuter, the hair was neatly combed and there was a dull hair floating leisurely in the wind. The students on the side carried the guitar on their backs, and they couldn't get rid of their old jobs wherever they went. Boss Ye and Yue Yin hid to the side and kept taking pictures of us. The important person always appeared last, and after the coach, Mu Zheng and Teacher Zhou arrived, the driver opened the door of the bus. The coach told everyone that Mr. Zhou was our instructor and "tour guide" for this social practice. Zhejiang's history and culture are very prosperous, and without "professionals" to explain, you can't understand much.

The sun was shining on the way out, the bus was moving smoothly on the highway, and the playing of Xuexue and the singing of my sister passed through the shadows of the bushes on both sides of the road like light. Along the way, there are turquoise fields, calm hills, and the sparkling Taihu Lake. Everything melts into a dream in the sun, swaying and long. A few of us boys squeezed into the seats in the last row to talk and laugh, and we didn't feel motion sickness at all. Halfway through the car, the coach asked Xuexue to help her play a song "Katyusha", she sang a paragraph to everyone with Mr. Zhou's little bee megaphone, everyone applauded, and the coach's northeast accent sang this song in great spirits. My sister took the opportunity to coax and asked Teacher Zhou to sing a song, and the coach deliberately stuffed the microphone into her hand. Teacher Zhou blushed, Mu Zheng hurriedly helped his mother to break the siege, and asked Xuexue to play a section of Lemon Tree, and he sang it, which was considered to meet everyone's wishes.

I wanted to go up and sing one, but I couldn't remember what the song I wanted to sing was called, and I couldn't remember most of the lyrics. It is the ending song of the TV series, and there is a sentence in my impression that it is a farewell to my mother before going on a long trip. In fact, it was enough to shrink behind and listen to them sing, so happy that I wanted to jump out of the window, chase our bus, run and run in the sun, and never stop for a moment.

Before arriving in Shaoxing, the microphone and amplifier finally did their job. Shaoxing has produced many talents in the thousand-year history, and everyone is most familiar with Lu Xun. After getting off the bus, we really saw the Baicao Garden and the Sanwei Bookstore, which only appeared in textbooks, as well as the desk engraved with the word "morning". Although the real thing does not seem to be as special as what Lu Xun wrote in the text, everyone still keeps taking pictures and observing, as if they are bent on finding out the traces of Lu Xun's life here. Mr. Zhou took us through the corridor of Lu Xun's former residence, where black tiles and white walls grew on both sides of us, and the footboards beat crisply on the mossy stone slabs step by step, like a quiet heartbeat in the old house. Teacher Zhou said that when Lu Xun was a child, he played games with his younger brother Zhou Zuoren on this narrow corridor, pretending to be a brother who was separated in the war. Lu Xun shouted to Zhou Zuoren Brother

And when they grew up, the two brothers really parted ways. After listening to this story, we walked through low eaves and small bridges to the streets of the ancient town. Miller and I bought the legendary fennel beans and stinky tofu that can be found in ancient towns all over the country. Ye Ruiyang and Brother Chuan ordered "Graceful Braised Pork", and children like Ah Fang who like sweets should feel that its thick and crystal sauce is indeed very graceful. The town on the side of the street is full of dazzling things, and a few of us scraped together some money to buy a "Ru Fluff Doll", with a pointed nose and mouth, and a black and white head, which looks quite smart. I don't know if this doll is really made of fluff, and I don't know if Lu Xun knows that his novel has peripheral products, but we all like it and are ready to give it to Tao Tao and her sister. However, if the little girl asked what "Ru" was, we still couldn't answer.

was discussing it, and saw Xuexue coming over with a candy man, and Mu Zheng helped him carry the guitar. Xuexue bought a black short-sleeved shirt and put it on, with a line of crooked white characters written on his chest - "You are also worthy of the surname Zhao", with a big question mark underneath, and it was also marked from "The True Story of Ah Q". There is also a line on the back: "Save the child", followed by a row of ellipses, and the source of this sentence is "Diary of a Madman". My sister was amused by his "performance art" clothes, and busily told him that if he wanted to change his name to Zhao Minxue, she would not have any opinions, so there was no need to be afraid. Xuexue pouted, saying that he didn't want to be surnamed Zhao, Xu Mu said that he was shameless.

The first night was spent at a hostel in Shaoxing. It is located on the riverside, a converted old house, and through the window, you can hear the sound of oars outside the wall when it is quiet, and of course it may just be the churning of the waves, but the flickering red lanterns do come on at night. The girls live in standard rooms, and the boys live in large rooms like school dormitories, with bunk beds, and can accommodate 10 people in one room. Counting Ah Fang, our first year of junior high school students can just book a room. Naturally, I'm going to have a fight with Mile. Ye Ruiyang is two brothers, Brother Chuan and Ming Ming, Mu Zheng studied together, Yan Xi and Zhao Rui, as soon as they entered the room, they chose their companions as if they had set up a program. After a short break, they exchanged snacks and took advantage of the time to take turns taking a shower and took out their phones to play games. The joy of boys is so simple. After taking a shower, Xuexue changed into a clean white vest and sat cross-legged on his lower bunk to play with his guitar. That's when I noticed that his guitar was much smaller than usual, and there were only four strings. He told us that it was the ukulele, the easiest instrument to pick up and easy to carry. Miller and Ah Fang surrounded them, and asked them to learn and teach them. Sure enough, it only took a quarter of an hour for both of them to find out where the seven notes were. Looking at the sliding of the fingers of the little ukulele, I can't help but feel a little like to learn, he is the kind of person who can fill his fingertips and throat with a sense of life, as if there is some magic to bring us together through music, and keep us closer. Suddenly I wanted to hug him from behind, and then roll down the grassy hillside with my guitar in my arms. Of course, it was only a fleeting thought, and I immediately gave up on the idea after hearing his nasty mantra again.

We chatted for a long time before going to bed, listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the bricks and stones on both sides, and imagining the moonlight spreading on the small bridge in the south of the Yangtze River. We talked about our ideals. Boss Ye wanted to be an e-sports player, but then changed his mind and said that he would probably study architecture in the future, and his father did it. Ah Fang insisted that he would go to university to study traditional opera or ancient literature, although many adults told him that the idea was so cute that it would be abandoned in a few years. obviously said that when he was a child, he really wanted to "inherit his father's business", but his father felt that studying medicine was too hard and wanted him to learn something else. Maybe it's a computer, but he's also interested in physics and astronomy. Brother Chuan's father studied oracle bones, which surprised us. But his thoughts are similar to Mingming's. Yan Xi said that he didn't think about what he wanted to do, and it depended on the opinions of his family, and he estimated that he would study engineering or business. Miller thought the same thing, and after saying that, he grabbed me through the bed board and asked me what I wanted to do. I really haven't thought about it, Meimei said last time that driving a taxi is actually good, but when I went to a candy store, I thought it would be good for me to open a shop to sell sugar or coffee, but I'm really not good at communicating with people, I guess I can't do it. I really couldn't think of it, but Miller urged me again, so I said that I wanted to be a doctor in the future, maybe because my sister's family were all doctors. Coincidentally, Zhao Rui also wants to be a doctor. Everyone laughed and said that it would be convenient to see a doctor in the future. Miller relentlessly asked me which department I wanted to be a doctor. I said veterinarian, I will treat you in the future. Before he could finish speaking, his pillow whizzed.

I thought I was unreliable enough, but I didn't expect that even more unreliable people were still behind. Xue Xue's ideal was to go to the wheat field to catch children, but no one could understand what this meant, and no one could have imagined that Mu Zheng's ideal was just as fanciful: to go horseback riding and hunting in the African savannah. But this time Zhao Rui reacted and asked Mu Zheng if he liked Hemingway, Mu Zheng smiled and said that he had a good heart. After listening to their explanations, I remembered that Mr. Zhou said that Hemingway had hunted in Africa, and he had a lot of lions and leopards, so the old fisherman in "The Old Man and the Sea" would dream of lions. I heard my sister say that Hemingway is a representative of the "tough guy", and Mu Zheng's temperament is very similar to him, both on and off the court. It was with this impression that I voted for him as captain.

Several of them also talked about several of Hemingway's works, such as "The Sun Also Rises", "Farewell, Arms", "For Whom the Bell Tolls", and "The Snow of Kilimanjaro", all of which are very good titles, and this tough guy is good at naming the novel.

The next day, we gave the time to West Lake. The weather was hot in the morning, even if we walked along the lake, we were still a little lazy, Mr. Zhou told the story of Su Dongpo and Zhang Dai, and now I only remember the names of people. In the afternoon, when we arrived at the Nine Creeks and Eighteen Streams, our spirits were instantly enriched in the shade of the trees and the flowing water. Listening to the chirping of cicadas and birds, and stepping on natural stones, we carefully waded through the streams. Children like nature, especially in the summer, and when they see it from afar, they have the idea of taking off their shoes and socks and looking barefoot along the stream to the depths of the woods. It wouldn't be bad if I could have a water fight, but the revenge that Mi Le poured a basin of water on my head last time has not been avenged. When I saw the mountain stream and waterfall at the end, I wanted to jump into the green pool at the bottom of the mountain - it was better to pull Mile too.

In just one day in Hangzhou, I was looking forward to going to the Yuewang Temple. Yue Fei is a national hero and has always admired him. I heard Mr. Zhou say that Yue Fei's tomb is on the shore of the West Lake, and I really want to propose to the teachers to go there to worship and worship. But I didn't say anything in the end, and our time was very tight, so we didn't stay overnight in Hangzhou, and hurried to Deqing in the evening. This place name, which I had only seen in "Water Margin" before, was the last stop of our three-day social practice. Tonight we will camp at the foot of Mogan Mountain, and get up early the next morning to climb the mountain to watch the sunrise. Seeing the neatly arranged tents at the bottom of the mountain, and cheering on the grass, our hearts were about to fly to the top of the mountain.

The tent is for three people, so you can imagine that you have to struggle with accommodation. I kind of wanted to pull Zhao Rui over to be with me and Mi Le, but Zhao Rui was too embarrassed to leave Yan Xi alone. My sister helped us come up with a solution: a lottery. Everyone brought their ID cards, and the three girls drew three combinations. The result is Mi Le, Zhao Rui and Ye Ruiyang, Brother Chuan, Yan Xi and Mu Zheng, and I drew Xuexue and Ah Fang. Obviously he was the only one left, and he might be a little unhappy to be replaced by someone else, but he didn't have any opinion. That day, he lived with the captain and the "guide Yuan".

As a result of the disastrous, I usually don't know how to cope with my studies, let alone sleep in the same quilt with him tonight. Although he attracts me at times, to be honest, he is more like my nemesis than Pu Yun. I went to beg Ye Ruiyang and wanted him to change a tent with me. Mi Le didn't agree, saying that he usually talks to me a lot, and this time he also wants to talk to others, and he doesn't want to keep squeezing with me. This guy may want to talk to Zhao Rui while I'm not there, right? I also have a lot to say to Zhao Rui. However, it is also up to him.

As night fell, after taking a shower in a nearby quarter, we gathered in a circle in front of the campfire and played a few games of werewolf killing. Xuexue didn't play, but borrowed headsets and Bluetooth speakers from the staff in charge of the camp. He walked around the ring of fire and played and sang a song for everyone present. There were more than 20 people, and he sang as long as we played, and finally his voice became a little dumb. His sister told him to take a break, and he shook his head and continued singing. Xu Mu said don't care, he has long wanted to find an opportunity to hold a solo concert. Xuexue sang to me Xu Wei's "Persistence", and Mi Le got an English song, Blowing in the wind, which is said to be very famous. I remember all the songs he sang to other people. In the end, Xuexue sang a song of Luo Dayou's "Love Song 1990" to Taotao, who didn't come, Yue Yin took a video through the bonfire, and everyone paused the game and waved in front of the firelight camera one by one.

"Perhaps tomorrow when the sun goes down and the tired birds have returned, you will already embark on the old way home. It is rare to find a partner who knows each other again in life, and life is difficult to give up the blue white clouds after all. The rumbling thunderstorm is in front of my window, and it is hard to forget the transformation of your departure. The lonely mood behind the lonely figure, it is my eyes that will never complain. "Although I don't know how to sing this song that has a bit of an old feeling, it is melodious and light, revealing a deep feeling. Xuexue sang and sang, his brain and shoulders shook vigorously, and his fingers moved rapidly, as if he wanted to go straight to the blue sky and white clouds hidden in the night.

After he finished singing, my sister and Yue Yin both shouted "Encore" and "Encore" to the sweat-wiping students, and later I learned that this was the slogan that the audience asked to sing again at the end of the concert. At that time, I didn't care about anything, but I felt hot all over my body, and I couldn't help shouting with them. So Xuexue sang another song of Zhang Zhenyue's "Goodbye".

"I will keep your face firmly in mind, and I will cherish the thoughts you give, which will never be erased in my heart these days. I can't promise you if I'll ever come back. Don't look back, go on without looking back. "It's okay that I didn't sing, but after singing, my nose suddenly became sore. The few friends next to him were almost the same, and Yue Yin's hand holding the camera trembled slightly. Xuexue sang and sat on the grass, and his increasingly hoarse voice was still trying to push this light and dignified song to a destined end. In a trance, it seems that the one who is singing is not Xuexue but Taotao, who is saying goodbye to us. But it wasn't him who appeared in front of the microphone after all.

Tao Tao and the seniors left. All the burdens fell on the shoulders of us, who were about to enter the second year of junior high school.

At ten o'clock, everyone was driven back to the tent, and tomorrow they will climb the mountain to watch the sunrise. Xuexue yawned, and the first one entered the tent and fell into the innermost part. After going in in the dark with Ah Fang, I was about to zip up and lie at the door, but Ah Fang begged me to let him sleep outside, afraid of heat. It's no longer a problem. As long as people ask me, I can't refuse. What's more, Ah Fang is two years younger than me, and I have to agree to whatever he says, so I have to lie down in the middle tremblingly.

It's hot in the summer, but it will cool down slowly in the mountains at night, so be sure to cover your stomach. Ah Fang said this, very intimately spread out the quilt prepared in the tent, and specially asked if the innermost school was enough to cover. Xuexue hummed, obviously tired, singing is really physical. There was a faint smell on his body, mixed with the smell of grass on the ground, and there was a fragrance similar to that of fruit. The smell reminds me of Xianxian, who rarely sweats compared to me, who sweats easily, and even if he does, he dries out immediately, and then he has a smell that is not very similar to usual. He was more hygienic than I was, and he was particularly concerned about the unpleasant smell. But the smell of his sweating is not bad at all, and I even like it a little. It's somewhere between laundry detergent and milk, like a banana or a mango.

I actually smelled something similar from Xuexue. It's an amazing world.

Kopeway. Xuexue called my name.

What's wrong? I asked.

You lied to someone last night. You don't want to be a veterinarian at all.

In the darkness, I saw Xuexue's twinkling eyes and smug smile. I stared at him, and he stared at me, his smile floating in front of me, as if it would never go away.

How do you know that Brother Ke doesn't want to be a doctor? Ah Fang's voice came from behind.

No one can fool me. Xuexue shook his fingers, raised his chin, and asked me if I was wrong.

I admit it.

Deception is to be punished obediently. As he spoke, he suddenly pounced and started scratching my armpits. It turns out that there is another guy in the world who likes to tickle people so much, and I got into a fight with him in the tent, and I almost lifted the roof. This guy is tougher than Miller and likes to get feet. However, he didn't use any force, and the soles of his feet were very thick, and the kick on his body was like being stepped on by a kitten with a meat pad. Later, Ah Fang also joined the war, and the two of us couldn't figure out who he wanted to help, so we coaxed together. There was a lot of noise, and the instructor who patrolled the night found out that the three of them had been trained through the tent, and the sound was so loud that I could guess that my sister and Miller would be hiding under the quilt and gloating. But it's okay, she mainly trains to learn, and the sentence "Don't take the child badly" is particularly funny, I covered my mouth with the quilt and almost made a sound.

After the trouble, we leaned together, listened to the mountain breeze blowing and the grass swaying, and slowly fell asleep. Ah Fang gently helped us count the sheep, but the quantifier used was "grain", as if counting the stars in the sky or in the lake. It's probably that I don't know each other if I don't fight, I tossed with Xuexue for a long time, and I was scolded together, I am much more relieved.

I don't know what time it was, but Miller woke us up. I crawled out in a daze, and I almost forgot to put on my socks. Miller repeated the phrase "don't dare again" while dragging me, which made me sober up a lot. Zhao Rui really sold me. In retaliation, I pushed my betrayer down on the lawn, and he deliberately rolled around several times, carrying a smell of grass and trees. With a yawn and a bright flashlight, we cautiously walked among the dark mountain paths, carefully reminding each other. Hold closer. Stay away from the outside. Did you keep up? A midnight march. My sister said she thought of Napoleon's feat of climbing the Alps, and that the heroes of history may have led thousands of horses and horses on a long mountain road one night with stars above their heads. Time, cast in the mountains, breathes and breathes with the eternal universe. When we walked to the flat road, everyone involuntarily stopped and looked at the sky. From the Big Dipper to the Summer Triangle and the constellation Cygnus, which spreads its bridge-like wings in the heavenly river, the bright and magnificent starry sky slowly flows from the sky to the eyes. We breathe in the mountain breeze one after another, the light breath of the tip of our nose through the sleeping woods, singing with the silent mountains, drifting to the distant galaxy. At this moment, I felt as if I had stepped out of the labyrinth of life in my dreams, and saw a wider world beyond the lake of memory and death, which was as vast as the universe, embracing the weakness and cowardice of human beings like great gods, and flashing a clear light in the direction of life.

But for some reason, Mu Zheng didn't climb the mountain with us. Only he is not there.

With a deep breath, we reached the top of the mountain. The east has quietly turned white, and we lean against the rocks, silently waiting for the sun to rise with a new day. Everyone was almost asleep, and their hair was ruffled by the cold wind, and they refused to open their eyes. It wasn't until the hilltop shop opened and the smell of grilled sausages and instant noodles wafted in that we woke up from a dream. They are probably the only ones who can wake us up. It wasn't long before the sun emerged from the sea of clouds like a plump and fresh orange, splashing brilliant juice on every inch of the sky and land, and everyone was smeared with that hopeful orange. The sun is rising, and at this moment, I just want to hold the people around me tightly and never let go for a moment.

"A new day has arrived, and now the new captain is announced. This is the common opinion of the coaching staff and every student, and I hope he can lead everyone to achieve new results in the new season. ”

Our manager Yue Da walked to the front, and everyone looked at her with longing.

"The new captain of the Jiangyuan No. 1 Middle School football team is ......"

But Mu Zheng is not here.

"Our Door God—Kopeway!"

Amid everyone's applause and cheers, I was pushed forward by Miller, and the warm sunlight jumped on my back, as if to dispel the long-lasting cold air. I don't know what to say, and I don't know how I was chosen as the captain, so I guess everyone misunderstood me. But when Kwong Hao handed the armband to me like a relay, I didn't think of refusing, took it gently, and bowed to everyone very gratefully.

Since you still want to believe in me, I will spare no effort. At least at that moment, I hope that I can leave all the night behind me, walk along the newborn sunshine, and never look back, just like the sentence my sister wrote to me, "Since there is no way back, then let me follow this mysterious river, through the night, and keep going", which will appear on the title page of the journal "Hunters and Hussars" that my sister gave me, and will be firmly remembered by me in my long life. [1]

The time that belongs to the first year of junior high school is over, and our story will continue. I will discover the truth behind the truth, walk with my companions who are getting closer in the labyrinth of life, and find each other's exits.
