Winter and spring in Haishi have no boundaries.
As if overnight, the cold wind ceased and the branches sprouted new shoots.
In early March, the students took off their bulky winter uniforms and put on light and bright spring uniforms.
Yu Xinlu's gossip was true. At this week's class meeting, the head teacher announced the sports meeting.
However, the students in the key classes were not very enthusiastic about the sports meeting, and the boys were fine. They could have filled up all the places in the event, but there were relatively few people on the girls side. After a few days, there were still many places left.
The head teacher looked at the empty list and worried, and finally had to announce that every girl must sign up for a sport.
Cheng Chu went late, leaving only 1,200 meters to run.
The sports committee member was a tall and handsome boy. He glanced at Cheng Chu, who was embarrassed, and said kindly, "Otherwise, you can find someone else who would like to exchange with you."
The spring sun was pouring, and the girl in front of her stood in a warm yellow light and shadow, her palm-sized face was as white as snow, and the thin spring school uniform outlines the curve of her waist.
Delicate and weak, it is estimated that after running a few steps, he will faint, the sports committee member thought to himself.
Cheng Chu sighed: "Forget it."
Since this is the one that was selected, it must be something that no one wants to choose. Who told you to come late? Accept your fate.
But she had to be mentally prepared a week in advance for the 800-meter test. The 1,200-meter test was enough for her to suffer for half a month.
The slightly warm spring breeze blew through, and the shadows of the trees on the playground in the evening swirled.
"Too, how many minutes has it been this time?" Cheng Chu held his knees, and a few strands of hair were wet with sweat and stuck to the side of his face.
Gu Miao looked at the timer in her hand, "Six minutes and forty-five seconds."
A few drops of sweat slid down the girl's clean forehead. She casually raised her hand to wipe it, and said in a muffled voice: "It's too bad, I must be the last to run like this."
"No." Gu Miao comforted her warmly: "You have made a lot of progress."
From the beginning, the whole process could not be completed, and in the next seven and a half minutes, seven minutes, and half a month, she slowly improved step by step.
Cheng Chu is not an escapist. Perhaps she has a superior family background and is petted by her family since she was a child. She has developed her tenacious character. She never runs away from difficulties, but chooses to face them.
But running is not something that can be done in three or two days.
She pursed her lips, and her heart was full of pain just after the run, and her voice was also filled with frustration: "If you hadn't led me to run, I wouldn't be able to run the whole way."
At the beginning, she couldn't even run the whole way, so Gu Miao said that next time he practiced, he would lead her to run in front. This is indeed a good method. With his help, Cheng Chu can finish it very quickly.
But this is not a long-term solution after all.
Gu Miao's dark eyes drooped slightly, but her tone was as gentle as the spring breeze in March: "You have made great progress recently, and you will definitely be able to do it during the competition."
His encouragement made Cheng Chu feel a little timid out of thin air. She raised her eyes and looked at Gu Miao seriously and said, "But I will be the only one in the competition in a few days."
After taking a few breaths, she sat casually on the grass in the playground.
Cheng Chu raised her eyes, and the young man in front of her stood up straight. She patted the grass beside her and said warmly, "Sit down."
Gu Miao hesitated for a few seconds, moved her steps, and restrained herself and sat a little farther away from her.
His drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, he hesitated for a while, and his voice was a little hoarse: "During the race, I'm at the finish line, waiting for you."
"But isn't everyone other than the cheerleaders of each class not allowed to enter the track?"
In order to avoid riots during the game, the school set this rule.
Gu Miao was silent for a while, and finally said in a deep voice, "I will find a way."
The sports committee member has been very busy with the sports meeting recently, but he did not expect to encounter an event in the afternoon that would give him a headache a hundred times more than the sports meeting.
He frowned, looking at the tall and thin young man in front of him.
The gentle spring light reflected on his face, but it seemed like it couldn't melt the cold frost between his brows.
The teenager pursed his lips tightly, struggles flashed across his face, and after a while he said, "I want to join the cheerleading team."
"What are you kidding?" Yang Kai was so shocked that he almost fell from his seat, "Are you crazy?"
But the young man in front of him looked at him with a serious look in his eyes.
Yang Kai choked, hesitantly said, "Are you still awake or what?"
Although there are three cheerleading teams in each class, it is not only for girls, but the boys who participate in the cheerleading teams from other classes are either loud and scary, or they are sports committee members like him, in the name of cheerleading teams, come to those who participate in the class. Players pay a strong heart.
Yang Kai was not familiar with him. Not long after Gu Miao came to the class, she was cold and did not like to talk. Today was the first time they communicated.
Who would have thought it would be such a bomb.
It was in the evening, and the sunset from the horizon reflected into the classroom, like a dream.
The boy's frost-filled eyes were reflected in the crimson clouds, revealing a bit of tenderness.
He looked at Yang Kai with a serious expression: "No kidding, I really want to participate."
Yang Kai was at a loss for words, "But our class is full. It's me, Yu Xinlu and Luo Ranran. I'm the sports committee, and the class teacher has asked me to go."
Gu Miao lowered her eyes in disappointment. He was as tall as Yang Kai, but much thinner. When he lowered his head slightly, his eyelashes trembled, like a big dog that lost its food, looking a little pitiful.
Yang Kai's voice was rough, but his tone slowed down, "If you really want to cheer, you can ask Yu Xinlu and Luo Ranran. If one of them is willing to give up his seat, you can go."
The teenager in front of him raised his head, his dark eyes seemed to have fireworks exploded, "Really? Thank you."
His slightly low voice was mixed with excitement and gratitude, which moved Yang Kai for a while.
Unexpectedly, Gu Miao has only been in their class for more than a month, and she has such deep feelings for the class.
Yang Kai stretched out his big palm, patted his shoulder heavily, and said loudly, "No thanks, we all want this class to be better, and finally I quietly remind you that those two girls are not easy to mess with. Yes, you have to be careful what you say."
"Okay." Gu Miao nodded heavily, looking at him with more gratitude: "Thank you."
"No, no." Yang Kai is a familiar one. With a big hand, he grabbed Gu Miao's shoulder, "Brothers, thank you."
The playground in early spring has grown green, the birds are singing, and the campus is full of vitality.
Yu Xinlu stood on the edge of the runway and was handing water to Cheng Chu, "Don't be nervous, Chu Chu, the teacher said, you can finish the run. Our class is already good in grades, not bad for sports."
"Well." Cheng Chu felt that her hand holding the kettle was shaking, but she looked at Yu Xinlu next to her with a nervous expression, and couldn't help comforting: "I'm fine, I've been practicing for more than half a month."
The classmate with the red armband came over and reminded: "You are Cheng Chu, hurry up and prepare, it's about to start."
"Chuchu come on!" Yu Xinlu held Cheng Chu's hand tightly and said solemnly, "I will wait for you at the finish line."
"it is good."
There were cheerleaders from various classes on the grass, and Cheng Chu looked there before leaving, but there was still no tall and thin figure.
Perhaps to prevent slippage, the plastic track was made into a pebble shape, which gave a strange touch when stepping on it.
Cheng Chu looked at the circle of dividing lines on the runway, feeling a little empty in his heart.
The referee had already shouted to prepare, she retracted her mind and made a preparation gesture.
The sun was shining on the playground in Haruhi, and with a gunshot, the girls rushed off the track like swords.
The slightly warm wind swept Cheng Chu's cheeks, and those nervous and anxious emotions were like sand, and at this moment, they were blown away by the wind.
One lap, two laps, she felt her heart skip a beat, her chest seemed to be blocked by a big sharp stone, a dull pain appeared, and even her breathing was blocked.
The people next to her passed one after another, and she hastily accelerated her already sore and tired steps, gritted her teeth, and ran faster.
But the front was empty, and the holly trees in the distance were still lush and lush, but no one slowed down again, turned his head, and said to her gently, "Hold on, it'll be there soon."
The gentle wind seemed to be caught in the gravel, and between the broken breath, she felt a throbbing pain in her throat and lungs.
There was still half a lap away from the finish line, and Cheng Chu felt that his consciousness was no longer clear.
There was a distant cheering sound from the stand in the distance, but the sound was so hazy that it seemed to be separated by a layer of clouds.
Suddenly, with the spring breeze, a clear cheering sound crossed half of the playground and entered Cheng Chu's ears.
"Come on, Cheng Chu."
The voice was still trembling.
Cheng Chuqiang braced himself and looked up.
Across most of the playground, she saw the tall and straight figure of the young man.
He stood in the cheerleading squad at the finish line, standing out among the group of girls, with a big loudspeaker in his hand comically.
But soon, the cheering voices of other classes gradually overwhelmed him, but he held the horn straight like that, ignoring the surprised eyes of the people next to him, gritted his teeth, and shouted over and over again without flinching—
Come on, Cheng Chu, come on, Cheng Chu.
He has always been restrained and restrained, keeping everything in his heart.
Cheng Chu never imagined that one day, he would raise his horn so frankly, as if to cheer for her like an announcement to the whole world.
In the hard and painful heart, a force rose in vain, and it flowed into every corner of her body like a trickle of blood.
Cheng Chu picked up his steps and sprinted.
The sound of the wind whistled past her ears, and her fast-beating heart seemed to be on fire, igniting her desperate rush forward.
Someone was waiting for her there.
Gradually, she surpassed one, two, four.
Finally, cross the finish line.
The final whistle sounded like a basin of water, extinguishing the burning fire in her body, and all her strength was drained from her tired body in an instant.
"Bang", she fell on the runway, and when her vision gradually blurred, her last memory was Gu Miao's panicked voice.
The author has something to say: Gu Miao: I did something shameful, but I don’t regret it
