Chapter 136 Track and Field Team Report

Arriving before the Spring Festival was Shi Qiu Shui's final exam.

For this exam, Shi Qiu Shui and everyone in the study group studied hard and prepared for it.

Even Xiong Jie and Xiaopang reviewed very seriously. After all, the final exam results would determine whether they could have a happy winter vacation and how much New Year's money they could get.

Right before the exam, Fatty was still nervously cramming: "Xiaoqiu, Xiaoqiu, what do you think should be filled in this blank?"

Shi Qiushui looked in the direction of Xiaopang's finger, said in surprise, "Huh?" and said, "Why are you still looking at the exercises in the workbook?"

Xiaopang sniffed and said, "Didn't the teacher say that this exam would include questions from the workbook?"

Shi Qiushui: ...

The teacher did say that, but it's a bit late to start looking at the questions in the workbook when we're almost in the exam room...

Although she thought so in her heart, she still explained to Xiaopang the question he asked.

"This blank should be filled in..."

"bell--"

"The exam is about to begin. Please return to your examination room and take your seats. Please hurry..."

The exam bell rang and the invigilators came out to call for people. Shi Qiushui and Xiaopang quickly put down their exercise books and returned to their exam rooms.

It's true that Xiaopang's luck was quite good. Although he only looked at the exercise book at the last minute before the exam, when the test paper was handed out, Shi Qiushui flipped through it casually and saw the question that Xiaopang had asked her just now.

Original title.

Shi Qiu Shui's eyes widened with surprise. Xiaopang's last-minute cramming actually succeeded.

Not to mention Shi Qiu Shui, even Xiaopang himself was shocked. As soon as the exam was over and he stepped out of the exam room, he excitedly came to find Shi Qiu Shui.

"Xiaoqiu, Xiaoqiu, did you see that? The third question on the test paper is the same as the one I asked you just now! It's the same question I asked you just now!"

Shi Qiushui: "I see, you didn't write the wrong answer this time, did you?"

"No, of course not!" Xiaopang said with his head held high and chest puffed out, "You just taught me that, so of course I can't be wrong!"

"What do you mean by right or wrong answer? Xiaoqiu, what are you talking about? Are you correct in your answers?" Xiao Taozi, who had just come over, interrupted.

Xiaopang: "Xiao Taozi, you came at the perfect time. Let me tell you, I just guessed the correct answer!"

He laughed unrestrainedly: "Hahaha, the third question on the test paper is the original question in our workbook. Before the test, I was asking Xiaoqiu about that question in the workbook, but I didn't expect it to be on the test paper. It seems that I have a sure thing in this test!"

Little Taozi couldn't bear to see him so happy, so she deliberately discouraged him, "What about the third question? The third question is only worth a few points. Apart from the third question, how did you do on the other questions?"

Xiaopang wasn't at all discouraged by Xiao Taozi's words. He still held his head high and said, "I've answered all the other questions too!"

He looked at Xiao Taozi and said, "Xiao Taozi, just wait and see. I will definitely do well in the exam this time! Maybe even better than you!"

Xiao Taozi: "Oh, then wait for the results!"

Xiaopang: "Okay, wait until the results come out and see who did better between us!"

Xiao Taozi: "Okay!"

The two men glared at each other, snorted, and turned their heads away from each other.

Xiao Taozi and Xiao Pang would quarrel every few days. Shi Qiu Shui was used to it so she was not worried at all. She did not go up to stop the fight. Anyway, after the test results came out, the two would definitely reconcile.

It’s just that this time the test results didn’t come as quickly as the last time.

Because they took the exam on Saturday this time, there was a Sunday break in between.

For students who are anxiously waiting for the results to come out, the Sunday in between is like a year in a day and the wait is extremely tiring. But for students who have poor grades and don’t want to face their results, the Sunday in between is like a reprieve before the death penalty. It is their last day to be free and at ease. They must enjoy this Sunday to the fullest!

Shi Qiu Shui really wanted to know the results, but she was not that anxious to get them.

Because she had important things to do this Sunday.

That is - go to the city track and field team for training!

Even though Shi Qiu Shui has joined the city's youth track and field team for several months, she has not actually trained with the team yet. Except for the first time on the day of the selection, she trained with the physical education teacher at school at other times.

In fact, Shi Qiu Shui had been training quite well with the physical education teacher at school, but after the winter vacation, the track and field team had to have a unified training camp, and Shi Qiu Shui reported for the training camp this Sunday.

Early Sunday morning, Shi Yue and his daughter Shi Qiushui set out after breakfast. They each wore a fashionable jacket. Shi Yue had recently bought this jacket while shopping at the mall. The salesgirl kept telling him how fashionable and bright the jacket was, and how nice it looked. Shi Yue didn't listen until she told him how warm it was. He immediately bought it.

You know what, the salesgirl who sold the clothes didn't lie. The clothes are really warm and windproof.

The weather forecast said that the highest temperature during the day today would be only minus four degrees Celsius, but Shi Yue and Shi Qiu Shui didn't feel cold at all when they walked on the street.

Not only were they not cold, but after walking for a while, Shi Yue and Shi Qiu Shui even felt a little hot.

Unlike the pedestrians on the street who were hunching their necks and hurrying along, the father and daughter walked leisurely towards the track and field team. The old man who was guarding the track and field team was sitting in the security booth. He saw the father and daughter strolling from a distance. He thought to himself, it's so cold, I don't know what these two people are doing, why are they still wandering around the street like this?

Just as he finished complaining in his heart, he saw Shi Yue and Shi Qiu Shui walking towards him.

"Hey, what do you do?"

When Shi Yue and Shi Qiu Shui came closer, the gatekeeper opened the window of the security booth and asked.

Shi Yue: "Hey, hello, uncle. I'm here to take my daughter to the track and field team."

"Oh, you're here to report?" the old man said, pointing to a red-walled house inside. "There, see? That's the house. It's for reporting. Go ahead."

"Okay, thank you." Shi Yue politely thanked the old man and walked inside with Shi Qiu Shui.

It was Shi Yue's first time here, and he looked around curiously. The place they were reporting to today was the city's track and field training center. Athletes from all track and field events in the city trained here, so the place was quite large. There were several training halls alone, and the office buildings were connected to each other.

On the way to report, they passed by the playground of the training center. Shi Yue took a look and saw that there were athletes training on the playground.

Seeing the others training in good shape, Shi Yue looked down at his daughter and asked, "Xiao Qiu, are you nervous?"

Shi Qiushui's big round eyes were a little confused: "Ah? What are you nervous about?"

Shi Yue: "Everyone else is training very well, aren't you afraid of being outdone?"

He still remembered that the little girl hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to sign up because she was afraid of being rejected.

Shi Qiushui shook his head: "I'm not afraid."

She said: "Others performed well, but my performance was not bad either. I won't necessarily be outdone by them."

The little girl was indeed nervous for a while before, but now she is no longer the same girl. After three months of training with the physical education teacher, the girl who knows that her grades are actually quite good is now very confident.

Shi Yue rubbed the little girl's head and said, "Okay, that's how it should be. My daughter should be open and honest."

He took the little girl into the reporting room, which was already full of coaches, parents, and children who had come to report. Seeing Shi Qiu Shui coming over, her physical education teacher, Teacher Li, immediately waved over here.

"Xiao Qiu, here!"

Shi Yue quickly led Shi Qiushui over, and Shi Qiushui came up and called out, "Teacher Li."

Shi Yue also shouted, "Teacher Li."

"Hey, you must be Xiaoqiu's parent, right? Hello." Teacher Li greeted Shi Yue first, then pulled Shi Qiushui over and said, "Xiaoqiu, come here. I'll tell you about today's schedule. There's not much to do today. The main purpose is to have you, the new recruits, come here to report, get to know each other, and assign you coaches for your next training session. Don't worry, I've already checked with the coach here. You'll still be training with me this time."

"Okay~" Shi Qiu Shui nodded obediently. She was very happy to continue training with Teacher Li.

After all, Teacher Li is an acquaintance.

Teacher Li: "Come, follow me. I'll introduce you to the team members you'll be training with next."

"Yeah." Shi Qiu Shui nodded, said something to Shi Yue, and then happily followed Teacher Li to meet people.

When the track and field team members were greeting each other, Shi Yue, the parent, was not needed, so he just stood aside.

Shi Yue himself didn't notice it, but as a tall and strong man standing there, he was still quite conspicuous, and soon someone came up to talk to him.

The person who spoke to him was a short, fat man, who looked a little older than Shi Yue and resembled Yang Zhiqiang. Not only was he of similar age to Yang Zhiqiang, but his temperament was also quite similar to Yang Zhiqiang, except that he had a bit of the enthusiasm of a veteran.

As soon as he came up, he asked in a familiar manner: "Hey, buddy, are you also sending your child to report here?"

"Yeah." Shi Yue responded, pointing at Shi Qiushui who was standing next to Teacher Li and said, "That's my daughter."

The man: "Oh, you have a daughter too! I have a daughter too!"

He pointed to the other side, where a tall, thin girl with slightly dark skin stood, and said, "Look, that's my daughter."

Shi Yue looked in the direction he pointed, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The girl should be older than Shi Qiu Shui, but the most striking thing is her height. She looks to be more than half a head taller than Shi Qiu Shui.

The man said, "My daughter is tall, right? She takes after her mother. It's a good thing she got her height from her mother. If she took after me, she wouldn't be able to hurdle. Their teacher said that hurdlers have to be tall."

Shi Yue: "Oh, your daughter is a hurdler, she's amazing!"

The man said, "Hey, I think my daughter is pretty good too. But your daughter should be pretty good too. I think the coach your daughter has is a sprinter. It's not easy for a little girl to practice sprinting, and it's even more so for her to achieve such good results that she can join the city team."

As he said this, he gave a thumbs up.

"No, no." Shi Yue waved his hand and said, "My daughter is just a little bit better than the average person."

He had a smile on his face, and suddenly he felt that the man in front of him was quite his type.

This is Shi Yue’s life principle: as long as you praise my daughter, we can get along well.

The man in front of him laughed and felt that Shi Yue was quite to his liking.

The two men who brought their daughters started chatting with each other and got to know each other.

The man in front of him was named Xie Heping. He lived in Xicheng and was in the clothing business. His daughter was Xie Na, the little girl he had just pointed out to Shi Yue. His daughter was three years older than Shi Qiushui. She was nine weeks old this year and would be ten after the new year. However, like Shi Qiushui, his daughter had only just been recruited to the track and field team this year.

I have to say that Shi Yue's eyes are still very accurate. Before Xie Heping spoke just now, he felt that Xie Heping's temperament was similar to Yang Zhiqiang. After knowing that Xie Heping was also a businessman, Shi Yue was not surprised. Business people give people this kind of feeling, they always smile when they see people.

Shi Yue had almost found out everything about Xie Heping's identity, and he also told Xie Heping about Shi Yue's situation.

Xie Heping was immediately surprised when he learned that Shi Yue's daughter, Shi Qiushui, was three years younger than his own daughter. "Your daughter is so young! There are children of all ages in our city's training team. Aren't you afraid that your daughter will be bullied?"

This time, Shi Yue was really not afraid.

He smiled and shook his head, not wanting to say that it was a good thing that his daughter didn't bully others.

Xie Heping had no idea what Shi Yue was thinking. Seeing him like this, he thought Shi Yue was worried but too embarrassed to say it. He immediately patted his chest and assured him, "Don't be embarrassed, buddy. We are all buddies now. There's no need for you to be so shy with me. Look, my daughter is training here too. Well, I'll ask her to help keep an eye on you and protect your daughter."

“Oh, no need…”

Before Shi Yue could say anything to refuse, Xie Heping waved his hand and called out to Xie Na who was not far away: "My daughter, my daughter..."

He just shouted, and when he saw who was standing in front of his daughter Xie Na, he was stunned. He poked Shi Yue and said, "Hey, buddy, look, is the person next to my daughter your daughter?"

Shi Yue turned his head to take a look, was also stunned for a moment, and said: "Oh, it really is."

Xie Heping: "Hey, what a coincidence! I was just about to introduce your daughter to my daughter, but before I could even make a move, they were already chatting with each other."

Shi Yue: “What a coincidence!”

Xie Heping: "I think this is fate!"

Shi Yue: "Yes, yes, this is fate!"

After the report was over, Teacher Li had also taken Shi Qiushui to meet everyone. When he announced that they could leave, the first thing Shi Yue asked Shi Qiushui was, "Girl, who was the little girl you were chatting with just now...?"

Shi Qiushui: "Which little girl?"

Shi Yue: "That tall and thin one, especially tall one."

Shi Qiushui frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Oh, you mean Xie Na?"

Shi Yue: "Yes, yes, it's Xie Na. How did you get together with her?"

Shi Qiu Shui looked at Shi Yue strangely, with more doubt in his eyes than Shi Yue's confusion.

She asked, "Dad, do you know Xie Na?"

Shi Yue: "No, of course I don't know her. But I know her father. Just now when we were inside, her father came over and talked to me, and we chatted for a while."

Shi Qiushui said a small "Oh" and said, "Is that so."

Shi Yue: "What about you? How did you get together with Xie Na? I heard from her father that she practices hurdling. Isn't it the same event as you?"

Shi Qiushui: "Well, it's not the same event, but hurdles and sprinting have some of the same training. And the hurdles coach is currently too busy to train Xie Na, so she was assigned to our sprint team."

Shi Yue glanced at the little girl and said, "From what you said, you and Xie Na get along quite well?"

Shi Qiushui chuckled and said, "Well, Xie Na is already my friend!"

Shi Yue rubbed the little girl's head and said, "You are quite amazing. You can get along with anyone."

Shi Qiu Shui protected her hairstyle and hid to the side.

However, she did not refute Shi Yue's words, because she has a good relationship with people and can get along with everyone.

The popular little girl returned to the slum with her father. As soon as she got home and sat on the sofa to drink some water, she heard someone knocking on her door.

"Xiao Qiu, go open the door. I'm changing clothes and it's inconvenient."

"Oh, okay."

Shi Qiushui jumped off the sofa, ran to the door and opened it. Her eyes widened instantly. She looked at the person at the door in surprise and asked, "Zhao Ran, why are you here?"

Zhao Ran: "I came to see you. Didn't you report to the city team today? How was it? Did everything go well?"

Shi Qiushui nodded heavily: "It went smoothly, very smoothly!"

She pulled Zhao Ran in and, while pulling him to sit on the sofa, she said, "My registration went smoothly today. Do you know who my assigned coach is? It's Mr. Li from our school! I think I'm the only one assigned to work under my own physical education teacher. I'm so lucky!"

Zhao Ran nodded in agreement: "Yeah, very lucky."

Shi Qiushui: "And I met a lot of teammates today! And I also made a new friend!"

She chattered non-stop, "My new friend is super cool, he's a hurdler. Do you know what hurdles are? It's..."

Zhao Ran: "I know. I've seen hurdle races on TV."

Shi Qiushui: "Yeah! My new friend is a hurdler. She's so tall, much taller than me, and she's super thin, much thinner than me."

As she said this, she pinched the flesh on her face. Although the girl had grown taller and the baby fat on her face had disappeared a lot after a period of training, her face was still chubby.

Shi Qiu Shui did not feel inferior because of her chubby face. To be honest, even if she had a chubby face, she was still a round-faced beauty. She was just a little envious of Xie Na's three-dimensional face.

Feeling a little envious in his heart, Shi Qiushui continued, "And my new friend runs really fast. Last time, she ran a hundred meters in just fifteen seconds. The teacher said she's almost reached the standard of a third-level athlete! And, she's also amazing at hurdling, let me tell you..."

Shi Qiushui rambled on for a while, and finally concluded, "Anyway, my new friend is super awesome. I'll introduce her to you when the chance comes. Oh, and her name is Xie Na. You've got to remember that name!"

Zhao Ran nodded: "Okay, I'll remember it."

He pursed his lips and said, "Xiao Qiu, didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to play with the Rubik's Cube? I brought the Rubik's Cube here. Do you want to play?"

Shi Qiushui: "Yes!"

Zhao Hui had bought Zhao Ran a Rubik's Cube as a gift when he returned from a business trip. Zhao Ran played with it a few times, mastering the method, but then lost interest in the toy. Shi Qiushui, however, developed a strong interest in it. She was a sucker for solving puzzles, and every time she asked Zhao Ran for the cube, she couldn't successfully solve it. She would always return it to Zhao Ran in a mess, asking him to fix it. But she never gave up on the idea.

When she heard Zhao Ran say that he brought the Rubik's Cube, her eyes lit up instantly.

She rolled up her sleeves, ready to work hard, and said, "Come on, Zhao Ran, I'm ready! I have a feeling today that I can definitely solve this Rubik's Cube!"

Zhao Ran: "Then I'll help you disrupt it?"

Shi Qiushui nodded heavily: "Come on!"

But when Zhao Ran started to move his hands, she shouted in panic: "Stop, stop, no, no, Zhao Ran, start over. I don't even remember how you messed it up just now. Start over, start over!"

"Okay, I'll start over." Zhao Ran patiently restored the Rubik's Cube and said, "I'm going to scramble it now, watch carefully."

"Yeah! Come on!" Shi Qiu Shui stared at Zhao Ran eagerly.

After Shi Yue changed his clothes and pushed open the door, he saw his daughter staring at Zhao Ran with full heart and eyes.

His face turned darker and darker, and he wanted to send that brat Zhao Ran back home.

Don’t think that he didn’t hear their conversation in the house just now. He heard it clearly. It was because he heard it clearly that he saw through this little fox Zhao Ran.

It was obvious that Zhao Ran was jealous because his daughter's attention was distracted by new friends, so he used the Rubik's Cube to attract his daughter's attention!

Damn Zhao Ran!

Of course, the most hateful thing is that Zhao Ran’s plan was successful!

Seeing his daughter's attention being drawn away by that brat Zhao Ran, Shi Yue felt a severe headache.

How could his daughter be so easily fooled that she could be taken away with just a Rubik's Cube!

It’s not like he didn’t buy a Rubik’s Cube for his daughter!

Of course, Shi Yue also knew that Shi Qiushui coveted not only the Rubik's Cube, but also Zhao Ran's ability to restore it. After all, neither he nor his daughter could do that.

Shi Yue sighed deeply and could only comfort himself in his heart.

Fortunately, Zhao Ran and Xiao Qiu are still children.

Children's world is relatively simple, without so many tricks.

Even though Zhao Ran was a bit of a playboy, he was just afraid that Shi Qiu Shui would ignore him after he had new friends.
