On the first day of after-school training, the students only confirmed the places. The teacher in charge of the first-year training had not yet arrived. The students were lazy and the boys had already started playing basketball, while the girls gathered together to talk about the latest popular TV series and handsome young actors.
Su Yi stood alone at the edge of the playground, with one leg bent and leaning against the wall, looking up at a flock of migratory birds flying in the sky. The autumn sky was blue and high.
The voices of the girls not far away suddenly rose, and then quickly dropped, as if they were being deliberately suppressed.
Su Yi noticed something strange and just as she turned around, she saw Xiao Yan walking towards her and already right in front of her.
"You didn't go home?" she asked puzzledly.
Xiao Yan must have just done some exercise. He rolled up his jacket sleeves, revealing a section of his slender and strong forearms. His hair was a little messy, and beads of sweat oozed from his full forehead. "I signed up for the 400-meter race."
Seeing the two start talking, the girls started talking louder.
"Will grandma wait for us?"
"I called home."
Su Yi nodded, raised her head and continued to look at the sky, complaining: "Did you take roll call? Our teacher hasn't come yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone blew a whistle: "Girls in the first grade, assemble!"
Su Yi jumped up and just took a step, he remembered the schoolbag at his feet, turned back and prepared to put it on his back.
Xiao Yan said: "I'll watch."
"I'll be fine soon." Sue ran away.
There were fifty or sixty girls gathered together, and it took a long time just to get them to line up, and the whole process was accompanied by a buzzing sound.
Su Yi didn't deliberately look for classmates in the same class. He just randomly arranged his seats according to his height and then stood still.
Coincidentally, Zhang Jiajia, the sports committee member of their class, happened to be next to her. She glanced at Su Yi for a few times, as if observing something, and then asked, "Do you know Senior Xiao from the second year of high school?"
"Xiao Yan?" Su Yi tilted her head.
"It's him. He just walked over and the other girls were so excited." Zhang Jiajia said, and couldn't help but look in Xiao Yan's direction. Many people did the same thing as her.
Su Yi also looked back in the direction of her gaze, and saw Xiao Yan picking up her schoolbag from the ground and brushing off the dust on the bottom.
"Is he famous?"
"Of course," Zhang Jiajia said, "At our welcome party, the speaker was Senior Xiao, and all the freshmen know him. He has excellent grades, is very handsome, and his family is very rich. Really rich! You have no idea how many people want to be known by him."
Although students' families have some money to study in this school, there is a difference between being rich and having a lot of money. Rich people are also divided into many circles. For a family like the Xiao family, everyone in all circles is well-known, but it is not necessarily possible to get to know them. Only some students with good enough family background have seen Xiao Yan at some banquets.
Sue nodded to show her understanding.
"Oh my god, he actually helped you carry your schoolbag!" Zhang Jiajia stared blankly for a while, then suddenly turned to stare at Su Yi, and said in a questioning but very firm tone: "Could it be that you dumped Liang Hang because of Senior Xiao?"
Just as Su Yi was about to explain, Zhang Jiajia said, "If that's the case, then I can totally understand! For Senior Xiao, I'm willing to cheat! Even if I can turn into a spider!"
Seeing that she was getting more and more excited, Su Yi had to interrupt, "I didn't dump Liang Hang, and I didn't date Xiao Yan. He and I were--"
"Impossible?" Zhang Jiajia obviously didn't believe it. She patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I'm different from them. Although I envy you, I won't be jealous of you. After all, I'm just a mortal. For someone like Senior Xiao, I can just think about it. If it really comes to me, I can't bear it."
Su Yi said with a smile: "I can't bear it either. He is my brother."
Zhang Jiajia was stunned, as if she had been acupunctured. She was stunned and didn't move for a long time.
The teacher in front of her had already started to call the roll, and when she called her name, she was startled and subconsciously shouted, "Here!"
The sound was loud, echoing throughout the playground and lingering over the campus after school.
The others burst into laughter. Zhang Jiajia's face turned red and she wished she could bury herself.
The teacher looked at her for a second before continuing to call the roll with a smile.
After a long time, she finally recovered. She tugged at her sleeves shamefully, still unwilling to give up, and asked Su Yi: "You said you are his sister? But I remember that Senior Xiao is the only one in his family."
Sue said, "It used to be one, but now it's not."
Zhang Jiajia said "oh" and didn't ask any further questions. After all, for a family like theirs that was relatively well-off, anything could happen. "By the way, you just said you didn't dump Liang Hang? Are you two still together?"
Su Yi couldn't help but sigh, "Why do you all think we are in love?"
"Because you always got together to do homework." Zhang Jiajia said as a matter of course.
Su Yi was more matter-of-fact than her, "We are students, can't we just study together?"
"Uh..." Zhang Jiajia thought for a moment and said with a wry smile, "Maybe it's because people nowadays are too complicated. So you and Liang Hang are really not together?"
"No." Su Yi said firmly.
Zhang Jiajia seemed to believe it. She nodded, and suddenly thought of something. She said anxiously, "Then you have to explain it clearly. I heard from them that Zhang Na from Class 5 said she wanted to teach you a lesson because you dumped Liang Hang."
The only one who said he wanted to teach her a lesson recently was that person. Su Yi made a perfect arc with her hands in front of her, "Is it this Zhang Na?"
Zhang Jiajia stared at her gesture in a daze, "It doesn't seem that big?... Oh, what nonsense am I talking about! It's her!"
"I understand." Sue nodded.
Seeing her calm appearance, Zhang Jiajia was not so calm, "She is very good at fighting. Many girls in school listen to her. You have to be careful! If you really can't explain it, ask Senior Xiao for help. No matter how arrogant they are, they dare not offend the sophomores."
"Okay." Su Yi said, and after thinking for a while, he added, "Thank you, I'll treat you to grilled sausages some other day."
“Ah? Okay…” Zhang Jiajia didn’t seem to react.
Maotuan was in the schoolbag. If he was there, he would definitely explain to Su Yi that eating grilled sausages was already a high treatment in the Big Devil's place! The higher treatment was milk tea!
Su Yi remembered that Zhang Na had told her to give her three days to make Liang Hang happy, but she had not taken the initiative to talk to Liang Hang in the past few days and did not plan to do so in the future.
She felt that this boy was really disappointing. He looked tall and strong, but he gave up on himself just because the girl didn't like him. He studied only to chase girls, but he stopped studying when he saw that he couldn't catch them. What did he rely on? It was because his family was rich, which allowed him to do whatever he wanted.
A boy like this, who only looks okay on the outside but is a bunch of cotton wool on the inside, actually has girls who like him and are willing to fight for him.
When Su Yi was blocked by Zhang Na again, she couldn't help but sigh, why didn't she fight for her
This time the location was a shadow behind the teaching building. Su Yi was practicing running, and judging from Zhang Na's appearance, she seemed to be participating in the sports meeting training as well.
"Hey, did you ignore what I said last time?" She cornered Su Yi.
There was a height difference between the two, so Su Yi had to look up at her. She said honestly, "I didn't take it as a deaf ear. I remember it all."
Zhang Na looked at her coldly, "Then what the f*ck did you do? Tell me, is Liang Hang happy?"
Sue shrugged, "I don't know, he didn't look very happy."
Zhang Na cursed and pushed Su Yi with her hand, "Are you kidding me?"
Her back hit the wall, but it didn't hurt. Su Yi didn't care much. She asked, "Do you like Liang Hang? What do you like about him?"
"What do you mean?" Zhang Na said with a gloomy face, "Show off to me?"
Su Yi shook her head. "I'm telling you the truth. I don't think he's worthy of you. Besides, I'm not dating him. He has someone he likes, and it seems he's been in love with her for a long time. He can become desperate over a single word from that person. You'd better stop liking him."
Zhang Na snorted coldly, "Don't be ridiculous. Do you think I'll believe you? Besides, it's none of your business who I like. You should worry about yourself."
Sue asked, "What are you going to do? Fight with me?"
Zhang Na looked her up and down. "Are you not convinced? Do you think I am bullying you?"
Su Yi looked down at her chest and nodded, "It's really small."
Of course Zhang Na didn't know that she was referring to something else. She sneered and said, "I'm not like some people who rely on their looks and a little advantage to fool people. I want you to lose sincerely."
"How to do it specifically?"
"I saw the registration form from the teacher, and you actually signed up for the 5,000-meter race." She glanced at Su Yi with disdain, "I don't know who gave you the courage to think that the 5,000-meter race is just a game? It just so happens that I'm also running 5,000-meter race. I don't need you to beat me. As long as you finish the race, even if you win, I won't come to you again. How about that?"
Sue thought for a moment and said, "What if I run faster than you?"
"Then I will call you boss from now on!" Zhang Na sneered without even thinking, as if she was dreaming.
This proposal suited Su Yi's heart very well. She nodded seriously and said, "It's settled."
She was a little worried at first, not knowing how to run the 5,000 meters appropriately. If she ran too slowly, she would not get any prize money, but if she ran too fast, it would be considered unreasonable in the eyes of others.
Fortunately, Zhang Na came at this time. Looking at her appearance, she seemed to be the faster runner among the girls. Su Yi decided that she would follow Zhang Na all the way. If she ran fast, she would run fast, and if she ran slow, she would run slow too. She would just overtake her when they were almost at the finish line.
