On the green grassland under the setting sun, Shan Kaiquan ran over and over again, constantly challenging the 100-meter record.
To the west of the runway, Guo Kunnan was sitting on the edge of the podium, holding two cans of Red Bull in his hands. He looked at Shan Kaiquan's figure on the playground.
Guo Kunnan had two mobile phones in his trouser pocket, one for him and one for Shan Kaiquan.
Shan Kaiquan said that only by removing all burdens from the whole body before running can you achieve your best condition.
They came very early today, just after lunch, they came from the countryside, and it was only around two o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at school.
But there are not many students on the playground.
There are also students, like Shan Kaiquan, who are constantly running and training, including some sports students.
News of the rich rewards for this sports meeting has spread thoroughly. The number of students who have signed up is said to be the largest in recent years. It must be that there are many experts.
Guo Kunnan plans to register for the 4×100 relay, 100 meters and 800 meters.
There was only one day left tomorrow before the registration ended, and he planned to submit it to Huang Zhongfei in the evening.
Most of the capable boys in the class have signed up, like Zhang Chi, Dong Qingfeng, Shan Xiao, and even Miao Zhe, who usually lives alone, actually signed up for the high jump.
Including students I knew from other classes, Yan Tianpeng signed up for the shot put, and Shi Qian signed up for the 100 meters.
The only person he knew was capable but didn't sign up was Jiang Ning.
‘He really doesn’t care about the bonus, right?’ Guo Kunnan thought.
However, the sports meeting is not only about bonuses, but also the glory of the class.
Guo Kunnan put the Red Bull on the podium, spread his arms back, and finally put his hands on the back of his head, thinking about these things.
Unconsciously, he was thinking too much.
In recent days, Guo Kunnan has lived a comfortable life. After staying away from love, his living expenses are fully sufficient. When he is happy, he can treat his brothers to a cake and win praise from them.
It's just that deep down in my heart, there is inevitably emptiness. It's not sadness, it's just emptiness.
His heart was like a puzzle piece with one piece missing.
Guo Kunnan searched and searched, not knowing what he was missing.
Shan Kaiquan on the playground finished another lap. He came over sweating profusely, picked up Red Bull, and took a big gulp.
The time on the phone is already past five o'clock.
Shan Kaiquan suggested: "Brother Nan, let's not practice anymore. Let's go to the playground to get clothes, and I'll treat you to a bath!"
The dormitory of No. 4 Middle School is simple and there is no bathroom. When students take a shower, they usually get a kettle of hot water and go to the water room to rinse.
If you are willing to spend three yuan, you can go to the big bath behind the playground and take a comfortable bath.
At this time, facing Shan Kaiquan’s initiative to treat guests, Guo Kunnan agreed:
"Okay, let's do it together."
With that said, they left the playground together. Shan Kaiquan was tired for a long time and his body was heavy, but he was in a good mood. He exercised every day and made little progress. This feeling was gratifying.
Every time he makes progress, he always tells himself that you are one step closer to becoming Bai Yuxia's boyfriend.
But Shan Kaiquan didn't patronize him. He looked at Brother Nan beside him and felt that Brother Nan had changed.
Brother Nan has been living too comfortably recently, and Shan Kaiquan hasn't had any fun in a while.
"Brother Nan, do you still remember? When school started, I said I was chasing Bai Yuxia, and you said you were chasing Shen Qing'e." Shan Kaiquan recalled the past, "I remember that night, you invited me to eat cake."
Guo Kunnan sighed: "Yes, it's a pity that it's all in the past."
Along the way, too many things happened. He had feelings for many people and had long forgotten his original intention.
"I can't go back!" Guo Kunnan is no longer the ignorant freshman he once was. He is in the ultimate state of having a flawless heart.
The road of growth is bound to be accompanied by pain. Guo Kunnan has loved and suffered pain, so he has become what he is now.
Shan Kaiquan was walking on campus, with flowers and trees blooming on the roadside.
He had seen the flowers bloom and he had seen the flowers fall. Now, the flowers were blooming again.
He once deviated from his route. He clearly set a goal, but he still provoked Gong Xuan, who had a butterfly tattoo, and attracted a call from his brother Deng Xiang.
If Jiang Ning hadn't taken action, it would have caused even greater chaos.
However, in the end, Shan Kaiquan still unswervingly liked Bai Yuxia.
After being away for half his life, he is still himself when he returns.
Guo Kunnan suddenly said: "Kaiquan, sometimes I envy you."
Shan Kaiquan was confused: "Why do you envy me?"
He thought Guo Kunnan envied his achievements, his persistence and perseverance.
Unexpectedly, Guo Kunnan let out a long sigh and said melancholy:
"I envy you for still having the ability to like someone."
"I, I have long been unable to like others." His tone was indescribably lonely.
Guo Kunnan saw good brother Kai Quan's infatuation for Bai Yuxia and did not laugh at it, but envied it from the bottom of his heart.
In the past, Guo Kunnan could like a girl without expecting anything in return, but now, he has lost that ability.
A person with a perfect state of mind cannot fall in love with another person.
Shan Kaiquan was stunned for a while after hearing this: "Brother Nan, can you stop pretending like you've gone through so much trouble?"
Guo Kunnan said meaningfully: "You don't understand."
Shan Kaiquan was too lazy to argue with him. He glanced at the campus, preparing to find a target for Brother Nan.
Suddenly, I saw a graceful figure.
In the open space in the distance, a tall girl with roller skates on her feet and flowing hair is skating towards this side. She looks so cool!
After hearing this, Guo Kunnan looked forward. At that startling glance, his cold heart skipped a beat, like cold firewood igniting into a flame, blazingly hot.
Closer, closer.
Guo Kunnan saw her face clearly: "She is, she is... so familiar!"
Shan Kaiquan is half a PHS person, and he named the girl right off the bat:
"The monitor of Class 11, Xu Yan."
As soon as he heard this name, Guo Kunnan felt a sense of surprise in his heart.
Xu Yan is not only the squad leader, but also a very capable girl with strong leadership. The classmates in Class 11 are convinced by her, and Xu Yan often speaks on the podium.
For Guo Kunnan, Xu Yan is far away from him.
"Brother Nan, are you successful or not?" Shan Kaiquan asked.
"It's definitely a hit." After Guo Kunnan finished speaking, he shook his head again, "I'm not worthy of him."
Shan Kaiquan couldn't stand Brother Nan's cowardice, so he sneered:
"What's not worthy of it?"
Guo Kunnan gave an example: "You don't know, many people like her. That night we had a night talk in the dormitory next door. When you fell asleep, I heard the discussion about her next door."
"She is also liked by many people who are in her second and third year of high school."
"She's in the top 20 in her grade. There's a big gap between her and me."
He tried to prove Xu Yan's excellence, and seemed to intend to use her excellence to prove how useless he was.
This behavior is extremely weird, but it happens.
Shan Kaiquan is relatively strong, and he hates it: "You don't care whether she is excellent or not, I'm just asking, do you think she is good-looking?"
"Does it look good or not? Does it interest you?"
This question comes down to my heart. Who wouldn’t like a beautiful 16-year-old girl who is so outstanding?
Guo Kunnan held it in for a while and said, "It looks good."
"Do you like it?" Shan Kaiquan asked.
"I like her." Guo Kunnan said seriously: "I like her, but she and I are too far apart. Just take a look."
Shan Kaiquan was happy: "I'll help you get her contact information. Do you dare to add her?"
Brother, when it comes to this, Guo Kunnan is not afraid:
"If you want to come, I will definitely come."
Shan Kaiquan: "Okay, I'll get it for you."
Guo Kunnan looked surprised: "Are you really going?"
"Can I still lie to you?" Shan Kaiquan is thick-skinned. In the past, when he asked for Gong Xuan's contact information, he would go directly to ask for it.
Now facing Xu Yan, he was not afraid either.
The person he likes is Bai Yuxia, not Xu Yan. Boys are very timid when facing girls they like, but when facing girls they don't like, they immediately become many times more courageous.
Shan Kaiquan said: "You wait, I'll go now."
Guo Kunnan: "Please say goodbye, it's so embarrassing."
He said this, but in his heart he still expected Kaiquan to help him get it.
Shan Kaiquan put the Red Bull into his hand and ran forward a few steps, blocking Xu Yan's path.
Observing Xu Yan up close, Shan Kaiquan found that she was indeed good-looking, only slightly worse than Bai Yuxia and even better-looking than Dong Jiayi from Class 1.
At this moment, Xu Yan stopped her roller skating and looked at the boy in front of her with an friendly smile:
"Classmate, is there something wrong with you?"
Shan Kaiquan said: "Can you add your contact information?"
Xu Yan confirmed her judgment. The people who stopped her in this way basically added her contact information.
Xu Yan still smiled: "No, classmate, I don't plan to fall in love."
In order to show off his skills in front of Brother Nan, Shan Kaiquan prepared a new plan in advance. His words changed:
"Classmate, do you want to apply for a gym card?"
Xu Yan stopped smiling and immediately became confused: "What fitness card?"
"Hello, it's like this. I'm a promoter of an off-campus gym, and I'm currently doing an event. I have a discount." Shan Kaiquan said calmly, with clear logic.
Xu Yan refused: "I don't exercise."
Shan Kaiquan stared at her roller skates, thinking in a hurry:
"Our gym offers roller skating, figure skating, free skating, wheel dancing, and extreme roller skating. Don't you think about it?"
After finishing speaking, Shan Kaiquan himself was shocked. He could think of so many words. What a genius!
Xu Yan asked again: "How come there is a roller skating program in the gym?"
Shan Kaiquan responded quickly: "You don't understand this, our gym is very big, you can call us a fitness center."
"If you are willing, give me your contact information while there are still discounts."
Xu Yan really likes roller skating, otherwise she would not skate on campus. With the idea of getting to know each other better, she gave her her contact information.
Shan Kaiquan: "Okay, I'll let you know if there are any events!"
After getting the contact information, Shan Kaiquan came back with satisfaction.
"Brother Nan, it's done." He shook his phone proudly.
Guo Kunnan just watched Shan Kaiquan and Xu Yan chatting. He stood there waiting anxiously.
Guo Kunnan was excited: "Really, really?"
Shan Kaiquan: "Brother Quan, once you take action, can you still have a lie? I will push her to you later."
Guo Kunnan looked at Xu Yan in the distance again, his heart moved.
He thought of wonderful things.
Sure enough, always believe that good things are about to happen.
"But there is one more thing, let me tell you in advance."
Shan Kaiquan told Guo Kunnan about him disguising himself as a gym promotion employee.
Guo Kunnan's heart became cold when he heard this: "Kaiquan, what do you want me to do?"
Shan Kaiquan was also a little embarrassed: "I had no choice but to ask for contact information, but she definitely wouldn't give it to me!"
"well!"
Guo Kunnan's mood was up and down. There were too many flaws and he couldn't take action at all.
"I'll ignore her for now and ask Brother Ma tonight. Maybe he can find a way." Shan Kaiquan said.
"Okay, I'll try calling him out tonight."
…
Evening self-study, big break
Shan Kaiquan called Guo Kunnan and Ma Shicheng to go out and talk.
Chen Siyu said: "Jiang Ning, Class 11's custom-made sports uniforms have been distributed. They are still in ancient costume and they are very beautiful!"
At the opening ceremony of the sports meeting, each class will take the class as a unit and show their faces. Unique and neat costumes can reflect the scenery of each class.
Jiang Ning's consciousness spread out and circled around the classmates in Class 11 several times, outlining the shape of the clothes.
He said: "I've seen it, it's okay, it's pretty good."
Chen Siyu: "My sister and her class also had custom-made clothes. They are not in period costumes, but they have national style patterns on their clothes, which are very beautiful."
Bai Yuxia said: "I know Class 1 is a stick figure with a cheering slogan printed on it."
Xue Yuantong asked: "Where is our class?"
Chen Siyu thought of something and looked unhappy: "Our class can only wear class uniforms."
"ah?"
"The class uniforms are in charge of the class cadres. We had already thought about it. It is said that Shen Qing'e, the literary and art committee member, approached Zhang Chi, the sports committee member, to discuss it, but Zhang Chi rejected it."
"Zhang Chi said he had no money, maybe, and then the matter blew up, and Shen Qing'e quarreled with him, but Zhang Chi just had no money."
Chen Siyu talked about the causes and consequences.
After hearing this, Bai Yuxia was speechless. She looked towards Shen Qing'e and saw Shen Qing'e talking to Yu Wen and others.
After chatting for a few more words, squad leader Huang Zhongfei came over with the form.
He walked to the aisle and said with a smile: "Jiang Ning, please sign up for the sports meeting. It would be a shame if you don't sign up."
"And there will be bonuses for sports."
Huang Zhongfei's attitude was very good, and his tone was completely discussion, without specifying anything.
Chen Siyu said: "Yes, Jiang Ning, I think you can give it a try! Then I will bring my sister to cheer you up, no matter what you sign up for!"
Bai Yuxia seemed to be looking forward to it as well. She wanted to know who would win the prize compared to Jiang Ning and the sports students from the second and third grade of high school.
Jiang Ning did not resist, he asked: "What is the reward?"
Chen Siyu quickly said: "100 meters!"
Bai Yuxia: "800 meters."
Xue Yuantong: "High jump, Jiang Ning, I want to see you fly!"
Jiang Ning made the decision: "Okay, fill it out like this."
After Huang Zhongfei filled it out, he said sincerely: "Thank you. When the sports meeting is over, I will apply to the class teacher to show everyone a movie."
Then, he took the form to communicate with other students.
After seeing Yu Wen over there, she touched Shen Qing'e:
"The squad leader asked Jiang Ning just now. It seems that he has signed up."
Shen Qing'e settled down and pretended to be normal and said: "Yes, I understand."
She controlled her eyes and didn't look in Jiang Ning's direction.
Yu Wen couldn't help but said angrily: "Zhang Chi should really be removed. Registration was originally his job, but now it's all up to the squad leader. Fortunately, our squad leader is a nice person."
Shen Qing'e: "Zhang Chi? Ha."
…
Jiang Ning was chatting when someone suddenly poked her in the back.
He turned around and saw Geng Lu's smiling face with a hint of baby fat.
"No, here you go." She held two lollipops and shook them.
One strawberry flavor, one blueberry flavor.
Jiang Ning accepted the lollipop.
"You signed up for the sports meet, I just heard that." Geng Lu said.
"Well, I applied for three projects." Jiang Ning said.
Geng Lu came closer, the buttons of the shirt on her chest were strained, and her breathing was slightly tight:
"I have prepared a program and will show it to you when the sports are held."
She added in her mind, 'I prepared it just to show you.'
