Su Yi rarely felt guilty, and even her dinner was not as enjoyable as usual. She was not relieved until Xiao Yan went upstairs as usual and did not say anything extra to her grandmother.
Then she thought, since he was so understanding, she had to show some appreciation, and it would be best if she could shut him up completely.
So he turned his schoolbag upside down and found that he had eaten all the stock he had stored during this period, leaving only one lollipop, the one that Zhang Jiajia had confiscated before.
She scratched her face in distress, thought about it, ran downstairs to wash a plate of fruit, and knocked on Xiao Yan's door with it.
Xiao Yan opened the door and was a little surprised to see her. He stepped aside and let her in.
The first time Su Yi entered his room, the layout was similar to hers, with a simple bed and desk, a dart board and a wind chime she gave him hanging on the wall, and other than that there was not even a poster. It was so clean and tidy that it didn't look like a teenager's room.
"Is there something wrong?" Xiao Yan asked her.
Su Yi retracted his gaze and handed over the fruit plate. "Would you like some fruit? It's very sweet."
She was never so attentive in normal times. Xiao Yan knew very well why she did this, but he did not intend to tell her parents. He did not think that Su Yi was wrong to beat up the gangster. He was just a little worried about her unusual strength.
Seeing that her eyes would drift over from time to time just like in the car, Xiao Yan still reached out to take the fruit plate.
Su Yi's brows relaxed and she handed over the lollipop in her hand. "And this. It will replenish your energy before running tomorrow. You will definitely be able to come in first."
These words seemed groundless to Xiao Yan. If someone else said them, he would not even bother to listen. But at this moment, under Su Yi's gaze, he also accepted it.
Su Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. People often say that one should be soft-hearted if one eats someone's food, and be grateful if one receives something from someone else. Since Xiao Yan had accepted her benefits, there was no reason for him to complain to his grandmother!
Having accomplished her goal, she was about to go back to do her homework, but Xiao Yan stopped her.
"The 5,000-meter race is tomorrow afternoon?"
Sue nodded, "Shot put is in the morning."
"Can you run down?"
"Sure, I think I can come in first." Su Yi raised his chin.
In the eyes of others, she was mysteriously confident. It was not that others intentionally looked down on her, but looking at her thin arms and legs, she did not look like someone who could endure long-distance running.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yan swallowed the words "Tell me if you can't escape" and finally nodded, "Just do your best."
Sue waved her hand optimistically, "I know, I'll go back to do my homework."
The next day was a nice day, with clear autumn air and cool breeze.
The school playground is large enough to accommodate many events at the same time. Interesting events such as high jump and sprint are surrounded by students cheering them on. For other competitions, there are very few people watching.
Suyi's first event was shot put. Apart from a dozen or so athletes, there was only the referee on the field. There was not even a single spectator.
The students lined up to draw lots. Among the tall and strong girls, Su Yi's figure was particularly conspicuous. The referee couldn't help but look at her more, thinking that she was just another one who was pulled in to make up the numbers.
Not far away was the pole vaulting field. A famous boy looked around and found Su Yi and others. He smiled and poked the classmate next to him, "Hey, look at that girl. I think she can't even lift the shot put."
His classmates looked over and smiled, "She's pretty. Is there no one else in their class?"
The boy said, "Who knows? Do you want to bet with me? I bet she'll be the last one."
"Am I stupid? I bet with you even though I know I will lose?"
As they were talking, the shot put competition had already begun, and Su Yi was at the back of the list.
She stared at the landing points of the first few students and calculated her own strength in her mind for a while.
There seemed to be some pretty capable students in this year's class, and the two referees kept discussing in front of the score record board.
"Next!"
It was Sue's turn. She walked to the throwing area. When the referee saw her, he turned his head and said something to another referee. The two of them shook their heads and smiled.
Sue picked up a ball, emptied his palm, raised the ball above the inner end of his clavicle, then quickly pushed off the ground with his right foot, turned his hips and shoulders, and used standard movements to push the ball out.
After seeing her series of smooth movements, the referee couldn't help but stand up straight, his eyes fixed on the trajectory of the ball.
The shot put flew for a while in the air, landed in the landing area, created a slightly concave hole, and then rolled for a while on the ground.
The coach at the landing area was stunned for a moment before he remembered to measure the distance. The other athletes on the field had already started talking about it.
"Oh my god, did you see that!" The boy who had noticed this earlier poked his classmate hard again, "That girl is so strong!"
His classmate opened his mouth and said, "Looks like a little white rabbit, how come..."
"This isn't called a little white rabbit, this is called a super-strong rabbit!" the boy complained, but couldn't help but walk closer, wanting to see Su Yi's next round of throwing results.
In fact, Su Yi didn't throw too far. There was a girl in front of her in the row who threw farther than her. She had heard others talk about it before. She said that girl was a sports student, a national second-level athlete, and the teacher's key focus. She was monitored and trained every day.
She didn't want to receive any special attention from the teacher, nor did she want to be pressured into training, so she only planned to get second place.
But there was a huge contrast in her body shape. The girl who came in first was at least ten centimeters taller than her and half a body length wider than her. If she achieved such a result, others would just say it was amazing and would not find it surprising at all. But for her, the sense of incongruity was extremely strong.
The results of the first round are out. Suyi is 11.5 meters, ranking second, and the first place is 12.1 meters.
She nodded secretly, quite satisfied with the result.
The second round began, and the first place threw 12.4 meters.
Su Yi didn't want to bother calculating the force again. After all, it was very troublesome to calculate it once. It couldn't be too light, nor too heavy, and he had to be careful not to make a big hole in the ground.
So she used the same strength as the first time and pushed the ball outward. After a similar trajectory, it landed on the hole made the first time, still 11.5 meters away.
Someone exclaimed: "Is this a coincidence?"
"Isn't this too much of a coincidence? Did you see clearly? Exactly the same movements, exactly the same trajectory, exactly the same pits. Did she copy and paste them?!"
The two boys had completely stopped caring about pole vaulting and stood outside the shot put field, pulling several classmates to watch. Due to the crowd effect, other people gradually gathered around, and the shot put competition, which had been ignored before, actually became a little hot.
The newcomer saw Su Yi and subconsciously joked, "Is that girl here to make up the numbers?"
The two boys who were in the first place had a sense of superiority and told everyone: "Don't underestimate her. The second place is her. She is 11.5 meters tall. She is better than you!"
"Isn't it amazing that you're only second?" someone said.
"He got the same score twice, and even landed in the same pit. Can you do it?"
The man from before retorted, "That's luck, not strength. What's there to brag about?"
The boy wanted to talk, but his classmate pulled him and said, "Let's start."
In the third round, the first place's result was better than the previous two times, 12.6 meters.
Sui threw the shot put with standard movements. The shot put landed steadily on the ground and rolled slowly a few times, reaching a distance of 11.5 meters.
Everyone present was silent for a moment, and then suddenly started talking.
Once or twice is just a coincidence, but the three rounds of results are exactly the same. If you say it is a coincidence again, it is too much of a coincidence!
If it’s not a coincidence, what else could it be
In just a few minutes, the results of the shot put competition spread throughout the playground. The first place winner scored 12.6 meters, breaking the school record, but I heard that the girl was a national second-level athlete, so it was not surprising. The second place was surprising, as his scores in all three rounds were 11.5 meters, as stable as a rock, she was simply an amazing person!
After the game, Sui walked away amid the discussions of the crowd.
Not far away on the track, the preliminary round of the 400-meter sprint for the second-year high school boys had just ended.
Xiao Yan stretched his legs and walked off the track. Han Lu came up to him with a bottle of water, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The master's moves are different. Our class's first gold medal depends on you."
As soon as Xiao Yan finished drinking the water, he handed over a tissue and smiled smugly, "Here, this is a gift from a girl to wipe your sweat. She was too embarrassed to do it herself, so I had to do it for her."
However, Xiao Yan did not take it. He walked outside the venue, took out a handkerchief from his schoolbag and wiped it. When he put it back, he saw a lollipop underneath. He paused, took it out, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it into his mouth. The sweet fruity flavor filled his mouth and nose.
"Hey, Ayan, you're really hurting girls by doing this. Do you know how to be gentle with women? - Damn, what's that bulge on your face? Don't tell me it's a lollipop?!"
As he was about to pull Xiao Yan's face, he dodged with a frown.
"What?"
"What are you doing?" Han Lu glared at him. "You, Xiao Yan, Master Xiao! You are the cold-faced man in our class, famous for your seriousness! Now you are in front of me, with a cute lollipop in your mouth! What do you think I am going to do? Of course I have to see if someone has impersonated you!"
Xiao Yan was too lazy to pay attention to him, without even raising his eyebrows, he walked to the side and sat down to rest, and by the way, he used his tongue to push the lollipop to the other side.
Han Lu looked at him as if he were a rare animal. Just as he was about to ask where the candy came from, he saw Xiao Yan suddenly raise his hand and wave.
He turned his head and saw someone jumping and running towards him not far away. Who else could it be but Xiao Yan’s adopted sister
Su Yi walked up to him, nodded to Han Lu, then looked at Xiao Yan, her eyes lingering on the lollipop stick in his mouth for a second, missing her last candy in her heart, and then asked: "Is your game over?"
Xiao Yan tilted his head slightly, motioning for her to sit next to him, "There's still a rematch. Is the shot put over?"
"Yeah," Sue nodded, held up two fingers, and raised the corners of her lips, "I'm second, there's a prize."
If it weren't for what happened last night, Xiao Yan would definitely be surprised, but now he just nodded calmly and handed his schoolbag to Su Yi, "Eat something."
"What's in it?" Su Yi opened it excitedly and saw that it was half full of sports drinks, chocolates, cream biscuits, and meat jerky. She was so happy about this unexpected surprise that she smiled from ear to ear.
Xiao Yan sat aside and watched her eat.
Han Lu, who had been ignored by the two of them, stood there looking at this and that, and suddenly touched the goose bumps on his arms.
These two are simply a cult! A cult!
