People always say that the environment can affect people.
Nan Xiangwan has a deep understanding of this. In the rocket class, there is no need for the teacher to deliberately urge everyone to concentrate on studying. Even if you want to stop and have a rest, as long as you see the classmates behind you still Persist, you will unconsciously start to panic, even if you finish the questions in the workbook, you have to find the papers and do it again, and take out the wrong question book to have a look.
But in the ordinary class, everyone is playing around, and those who study hard will become aliens in the eyes of everyone.
If you do your homework meticulously, others will say that you are stupid. If you spend all your time studying, others will say that you are pretending. If you say that your goal is a top university in China, others will say that you are wishful thinking. I'd say I knew it was going to be like this.
A good opponent is also a good teammate. Lin Xiaoran was able to break the school record in the long-distance running. In addition to his own strength, the small man who was about to retire early was also an important reason for chaotic rhythm. If it wasn't for him being a catfish that inspired Lin Xiaoran's potential, Lin Xiaoran might not have known that he could reach such a speed.
This was also the reason why Nan Xiangwan missed Chen Shiyun more and more.
They are so alike, they are equally assiduous, proud, and persistent. On the surface, they do not interfere with each other, but in fact they have been fighting secretly, trying to compare each other. At that time, she was very much like Zhou Yu, complaining about Shengyu and He Shengliang every day, but now that she couldn't see Chen Shiyun, she suddenly realized how important Chen Shiyun was to her.
The road to the championship is destined to be lonely.
Nan Xiangwan quickly surpassed the first place, but she did not relax because of this. Apart from worrying that the other party would catch up, there was another more important reason - she wanted to break the school record in the relay race.
The environment is important, it can affect your goals and shape your habits, but more important is your own heart. It doesn't mean that being in the rocket class can be done once and for all. Some people seem to work hard, but in fact they are just self-performing under infinite anxiety. They study like a top student, but they don't sum up and think like a top student. Some achievements.
Nan Xiangwan never paid attention to what others said, whether she was wishful thinking or futile, she only knew that she had her own goals. Everything she does is to achieve this goal.
It is easy to win the first place, but it is very difficult to break the record, because the first place is visible, you just need to outperform everyone present, but the historical records are written on paper, and there is no comparable scale , no one knows whether she needs to work harder or has already lost the opportunity to compete.
Of course, Nan Xiangwan, who was on the field, didn't have the opportunity to think so much. She kept Lin Xiaoran's words firmly in mind, no matter what happened to others, she focused on running forward.
Nan Xiangwan had never run so hard before, the oncoming wind hit her face, it was more terrifying than winter snow, the air in her chest was squeezed out, and she still felt so hot that she couldn't breathe when she opened her mouth to the fullest. Concentrating on the direction of the finish line, thinking about breaking the school sports meeting record, and not giving the little voice who tried to say "it can't be done" a chance.
With the finish line approaching, Nan Xiangwan held her last breath and started sprinting towards the finish line. Even she herself couldn't believe that she could go faster and stronger as she approached the limit.
Under the action of inertia, Nan Xiangwan ran more than ten meters after crossing the finish line. She stopped slowly, gasping for breath, and the people behind ran past the finish line one after another. Nan Xiangwan couldn't take a break, turned around and walked to the referee teacher.
Witnessing with their own eyes that Nan Xiangwan won the championship and reversed the game when he was behind, the students in the discipline class were so excited that they were about to cry. Everyone cheered and screamed excitedly, applauded her, and shouted at her. The group leader jumped up for joy regardless of the injury on his ankle.
The strange thing was that Nan Xiangwan was not as excited as everyone imagined, on the contrary, her face was solemn, as if the game was not over yet. Among the crowd, only Lin Xiaoran realized what Nan Xiangwan was worried about. He rushed to the referee's seat ahead of Nan Xiangwan and asked about the results of the disciplinary class.
Lin Xiaoran made his hands into trumpet shapes and shouted out the results.
After Nan Xiangwan heard it, he froze in place.
No record was broken.
Even though she had worked so hard, she was still a little short in the end, and it was precisely this that made them a little short in points, and they could only get second place.
Realizing this, Nan Xiangwan's heart was emptied all of a sudden, and a great loss swept her. She stood there in a daze, and even the frequency of panting slowed down. She thought she wouldn't care, but she didn't expect that her heart would be so painful at this moment.
Hearing this result, the students in the disciplinary class fell silent. In the chaotic sports field, only this area was quiet. Suddenly, someone yelled, "Break the record! Ahh! Double the points, we are number one!"
"Ah!!!" As if a drop of water fell into the hot oil, the disciplinary class immediately boiled, and everyone screamed and jumped, and they were a hundred times more excited than when they just knew they had won the championship.
Nan Xiangwan's eyes widened, and she suddenly realized that yes, it was a record. The running time is shorter than who else, after hearing the result, she instinctively compares which number is bigger, why is she so stupid, she can even get this wrong.
"That's great..." Nan Xiangwan covered his mouth with both hands, wanting to cry and laugh at the same time. Seeing Jiang Darling walking this way, she waved at Jiang Darling from a distance, and couldn't wait to tell her the good news, "We broke the record!"
"Really?" Jiang Darling had just picked up the wig that had been thrown on the ground, and when he heard that it had broken the record, he threw the wig out again. She ran wildly to the south to Xiangwan, and hugged her. Jiang Daring had great strength, and because he was too excited, he made Nan Xiangwan's feet off the ground several times.
After being happy, Jiang Darling gradually realized that something was wrong. The whole class, including Nan Xiangwan, was looking at him strangely. She suddenly realized something, and quickly let go of Nan Xiangwan. While looking around, she said in a delicate voice, "Oh, I'm sick of it. I made him so excited. Where's his wig?"
"Why are you doing this?" Seeing that Jiang Darling wanted to hide, Nan Xiangwan grabbed her. I was busy with the game just now, and now I finally have the opportunity to ask questions clearly. Could it be that she pretended to be the usual lady with long hair and talking like a boy, and the real Jiang Daling with her cropped hair and voice like a boy is the real one
Facing Nan Xiangwan's questioning, Jiang Daring lowered his head, and still said in a delicate voice: "What is this and that, I, I..." She said "I" a few times in a row, and finally couldn't pretend anymore. She closed her eyes, and after a while, she let out a sigh of relief, "Well, anyway, I've pretended enough, yes, my voice is just so ugly, women are not as good as me, okay?"
"Ah..." There was an uproar among the students.
Nan Xiangwan remembered that they went to the girls' dormitory to distribute leaflets that day. After she left, she returned to Jiang Darling's dormitory, but she heard a man's voice outside the door. She thought she had gone wrong, but now it seems that she did not go wrong. , that man-like voice was made by Jiang Darling, no wonder she found this voice so familiar.
Jiang Darling realized that she was different from other girls since she was a child. She didn't like wearing skirts, braiding her hair, or playing with dolls. She didn't like everything girls like. The most terrible thing is her voice, thick and low, it sounds like a man.
Because of this, she has been ridiculed and excluded by her classmates since she was a child, even though some people are not malicious, they just think it is fun to call her "Brother Jiang" and make fun of her gender, or think that otherwise it will look like a child. out of gregarious. But the speaker didn't care about the listener, Jiang Daling had had enough, she didn't want to be the object of ridicule anymore.
The opportunity finally came. After the high school entrance examination, she was about to enter the third middle school. Facing the new classmates, she got a chance for everyone to know herself again.
Jiang Darling used a summer vacation to learn makeup and outfits to make herself look like a girl. She worked hard to practice holding her throat to make her voice sound better. Even the mother who always scolded her was delighted by her change, "You finally have what a girl should be."
Jiang Darling is full of expectations for the future, but after a long time, she realizes that everything still seems to be the same. She didn't get more friends because she became feminine, everyone was busy studying, and they only met each other in general, and the close people were roommates and deskmates, and there were still a few people back and forth. Although everyone stopped making fun of her gender, they still made fun of her makeup and things like that.
If she had to find something different, it would be that she was too tired now. It takes a lot of extra time to clean yourself up, and you have to always remind yourself not to wear clothes, and work hard to endure things you don't like. In the dead of night, she couldn't help asking herself over and over again, do people really care what she looks like
It's a pity that it's too late now. When she chose to disguise herself, she was on a road of no return. Everyone has accepted Jiang Darling's current appearance, and she can't expose herself.
Ever since Lin Xiaoran notified the start of registration for the sports meeting, she couldn't hold back the throbbing in her heart, but the high-intensity sports didn't match her "lady" persona, so she could only pretend that she couldn't do anything, and gave up. Contest. Until Lin Xiaoran asked her to participate in the relay, that ready to move heart was awakened again.
She tossed and turned all night, hovering between "maintaining the character setting and running casually" and "breaking the character setting and sprinting hard". She still hadn't made a decision until she walked on the runway, if she hadn't just watched the girl behind her. One by one, she might not let go of her disguise despite everything.
Now, the sugar wrapper wrapped outside is gone, revealing a sugar that has never been tasted before.
Jiang Daring asked Nan Xiangwan nervously, "Do you think I'm an outlier? Are you still willing to be friends with me?"
Nan Xiangwan smiled, "Don't you always say that I'm an outlier? I know how to study all day long, and I have to insist on finishing homework that the teacher doesn't check."
"Hahaha, obviously it is..." Jiang Daring was amused by her. Nan Xiangwan had never heard her laugh like this before. It was an undisguised, earth-shattering, and hearty smile.
