From high school to university, Liang Qiyun harbored a secret crush on Zhou Mingzheng for seven years.
In the eighth year, she started dating, and her boyfriend wasn't him.
Zhou Min...
After explaining this matter, Zhou Mingzheng waved goodbye and left.
He has a lot of friends who he can hang out with, so naturally he wants to join in the fun and watch the game.
Liang Qiyun stood there for a while until she could no longer see the boy.
She was actually not interested in the competition itself, but in order to have better energy to film later, she walked to the stands closest to the high jump venue as planned and sat down.
Everyone is now gathered in groups on the playground, and the first event is long jump in the sand pool.
There was a crowd of people over there, and cheers could be heard from time to time.
About half an hour later, the old phone in Liang Qiyun's hand lit up.
Because she had been paying attention, she picked up her phone to check almost immediately.
Sure enough, I received a text message.
Zhou Mingzheng: [The high jump will start soon. I’m on the air cushion.]
It was a very ordinary sentence, with no prefix or salutation, nor any suffix of thanks, but Liang Qiyun felt inexplicably familiar with it.
She pondered how to reply, and considering the time was running out, she quickly tapped the keys a few times and sent the message.
Liang Qiyun: [Okay, I’ll be right there.]
Zhou Mingzheng finished reading the reply on the black old-fashioned phone, then turned his hand slightly and put it in his pocket.
Almost as soon as the competition venue changed, waves of students rushed to the high jump cushion.
Fortunately, Liang Qiyun quickly stood up and walked over after receiving the message.
Because of the close distance, she was able to grab a better shooting position.
The place where she stood was perfect for capturing the whole process of the contestant waiting, running for help, and then crossing the hurdle.
Zhou Mingzheng was wearing a vest on the chest of his white school uniform. He was contestant number "7".
He stood in the waiting area, and was undoubtedly the most dazzling one among the other contestants.
He stood there leisurely, tilting his head to talk to the person next to him, with an undisguised bright smile on his lips.
Inadvertently, yet as if with purpose, he looked around from near to far, as if searching for something.
Liang Qiyun almost subconsciously raised the SLR in her hand and focused on the boy.
The moment the boy looked over, her hand pressed the shutter button almost consciously.
This was the first time that her urgency to capture this scene overcame the instinctive trembling in her hand nerves.
The boy seemed to have noticed it, and he smiled even more widely at the camera, like a sunflower facing the sun.
Liang Qiyun pressed the shutter button continuously to record this unforgettable moment.
The competition started soon, and at first the twelve contestants were selected by group jumping to enter the finals.
It was at this moment that Liang Qiyun finally understood what Tang Di meant when he said that Zhou Mingzheng broke the school record in junior high school.
Almost quickly and without any suspense, Zhou Mingzheng entered the finals.
After passing Zhou Mingzheng's group, Liang Qiyun finally found a chance to rest.
She was reluctant to leave this excellent shooting position, fearing that if she left, it would be taken by someone else.
But my legs started to feel sore and weak again.
Just when the two sides were in a dilemma, Zhou Mingzheng, wearing a yellow "7" vest with a white class uniform underneath, which did not diminish his handsomeness at all, walked towards this side with firm steps.
Liang Qiyun just watched him getting closer and closer.
For no reason, she just had a strong intuition that Zhou Mingzheng was coming towards her.
Then the boy walked through the surging crowd and stood beside her.
He leaned sideways, lowered his eyes, and said in a gentle voice, "I'll watch their game here, why don't you go to the stands and rest for a while?"
An indescribable warmth surged up from her heart, and Liang Qiyun smiled brightly. She nodded and agreed, "Okay, congratulations on entering the finals. Then I'll go to the stands to rest for a while, and come back after the finals."
Although they are all at the age of youth, Zhou Mingzheng is always more careful than others.
He would take her physical discomfort into consideration and indulge her from time to time.
Just like now, he was occupying this seat under the pretext of watching the game, so that she could rest in peace.
Liang Qiyun was sitting in the stands. There was a crowd of people at the high jump event, and people were applauding and cheering from time to time.
She could see at a glance where she had been standing.
The boy was standing there leisurely, looking at the stands, applauding the players from time to time, and occasionally chatting with the people around him.
No matter when, in her world, he is always the most dazzling existence.
The following teams also quickly identified their qualifiers.
When the final was about to begin, Liang Qiyun carried a SLR and kept shouting "Please make way" before she could barely squeeze back to the innermost position.
When Zhou Mingzheng saw her come back, he smiled and nodded as a greeting.
He moved and turned to go to the waiting area.
"come on."
Perhaps it was his warm gesture today that gave her the courage. Liang Qiyun took the initiative for once and raised her hand, clenched her fist and made a gesture of encouragement.
The boy has turned and walked forward.
There is a big "7" on the bright yellow vest.
He didn't look back, but just raised his slender hand and made an "OK" gesture.
It’s still the confidence and pride in my memory.
Liang Qiyun couldn't help but laugh.
Her initiative was responded to, wasn't it?
That's enough.
The finals started at the standard height and were raised two centimeters each time.
Every time Zhou Mingzheng took a run-up and then did a pole jump, he easily crossed the railing, rolled on the air cushion and stood up neatly.
The horizontal bar is stable and there is no sign of shaking.
Every time at this time, Liang Qiyun would capture the boy's wonderful moments of action.
By the final and intense stage, only Zhou Mingzheng and another contestant were left in the competition.
The height of the horizontal bar was raised to 1.78 meters.
Everyone around was in an uproar, discussing with each other.
This was the previous high jump record in L.
Now there is a high possibility of breaking the record, and they are naturally excited to have the opportunity to witness it.
Liang Qiyun was also immersed in the hustle and bustle of youth.
It was rare for her to have such a strong desire.
I hope Zhou Mingzheng can win and set a new high jump record for L Middle School.
This dazzling boy will amaze everyone at the 14th school sports meet.
Perhaps the news had spread, and a steady stream of people gathered outside to join in the fun and watch.
On the field, two athletes were performing trial jumps.
The other contestant was Lu Yangshuo from Class 6. Liang Qiyun heard this from the excited discussions among her classmates.
As the trial jump began, everyone in the audience fell silent, with only a loud shout of "good" and warm applause after the contestant successfully crossed the hurdle.
Zhou Mingzheng succeeded in all three attempts.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he still had some strength left.
As he crossed the bar, he subconsciously raised his hand slightly, a few centimeters away from touching it.
Lu Yangshuo succeeded in the first two jumps, and was on par with Zhou Mingzheng.
But on his third jump, he accidentally hit the railing when he raised his hands while turning over the bar.
He landed and stood firmly, but everyone's eyes were focused on the horizontal bar.
I saw the horizontal bar shaking, and finally, when the wind blew, it fell to the ground with a bang, rolled a few times and then stopped.
The whole audience sighed, and the victory or defeat was decided.
It did not break the record in L, but it is also the highest record in L.
Liang Qiyun raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Mingzheng.
The boy's forehead was covered with sweat due to the continuous and violent beating.
He smiled relaxedly and high-fived Lu Yangshuo to celebrate.
Tang Di also walked over cheering and bumped Zhou Mingzheng's shoulder with his not-yet-strong shoulder to celebrate.
That's their customary way of celebrating when playing basketball.
The three of them left the high jump venue chatting and laughing.
The winners did not shout and cheer;
The runner-up was also graceful enough.
Because she often watched Zhou Mingzheng play basketball, Liang Qiyun also recognized that face.
Lu Yangshuo from Class 6 often plays ball with them.
Zhou Mingzheng became famous in this competition. Compared with his excellent academic performance, high jump undoubtedly added points to his performance.
Many people came up to him and wanted to take pictures.
Liang Qiyun quietly left the crowd and walked to the nearest stand to sit down and rest.
Today's mission is over.
Zhou Mingzheng's other competition, 4×100, will be held tomorrow morning.
For long-distance races, the women's 800-meter race and the men's 1,000-meter and 3,000-meter races will all be held tomorrow afternoon.
This is also a point that students often complain about.
The school sports meet will last for two days, but L Middle School is reluctant to give up two consecutive study days.
Just schedule it for two days, Friday and Saturday.
This way the school feels more comfortable, thinking that students' studies will not be delayed too much, and the leaders think that students will not have too many complaints.
After all, we still have Sunday to rest, right?
But in fact, privately, there are still many people who criticize the school for this snap decision.
Liang Qiyun had heard it by chance several times.
She turned on her SLR camera and looked at the photos she had just taken with satisfaction.
The sunlight was bright, the boy smiled happily, and his every move was full of confidence.
He is agile and nimble, runs with great momentum, and looks even more handsome when he vaults over the bar.
At that moment, everyone became the background, and the SLR camera focused on the boy.
So is her heart.
The next morning, 4×100 went on as scheduled.
The competition is still divided into groups, and the champion and runner-up are determined by the total time ranking.
When it was Zhou Mingzheng's group's turn, Liang Qiyun was already standing in the position to hand over the baton.
The playground in L is a standard 400-meter running track.
He was the third runner and was right at the half-circle turn.
Liang Qiyun has taken a general look at it. After she finishes filming Zhou Mingzheng starting, she just needs to cross the lawn in a straight line and walk to the next baton passing position and wait.
That way I can capture him running towards the wind.
All the contestants are ready and stand at their starting positions.
Liang Qiyun picked up the SLR and took several photos of the boy.
The young man was like a pine tree, standing upright on the red line.
He occasionally stretched his hands and legs to move his body.
Because of the sprint, he wore a short-sleeved shirt and shorts today to make his legs look longer.
Maybe it’s because he usually wears long pants except when exercising, his legs are not as dark as other boys’, but rather well-proportioned and fair.
Huang Xiyun walked over to Liang Qiyun and handed her a bottle of water.
Liang Qiyun was puzzled, "Xiyun, what is this?"
"The parents' committee sent two boxes of mineral water for them to drink after the game." Huang Xiyun explained the source of the mineral water with a smile.
She pointed to the bottle of mineral water in her hand and said, "Tang Di will run the last leg. I'll give him some water after he finishes."
"Take the bottle of water in your hand first, and give it to Zhou Mingzheng after he finishes running." Huang Xiyun said, winking playfully.
Liang Qiyun didn't dare to guess whether she knew something, so she could only agree with a smile.
Almost as soon as she nodded in agreement, Huang Xiyun turned around and ran back to the fourth runner to wait.
Liang Qiyun looked down at the bottle of Taobao mineral water in her hand, clenched it tightly and then released it.
They sat at the same table, and delivering water to each other was a common thing.
No matter how sensitive adolescent boys and girls are, no one will notice it.
Huang Xiyun is just a little more considerate because they have been together for a long time.
She stuffed the mineral water into her SLR bag so that she could have both hands free to hold up the SLR and avoid blurry photos due to shaking hands.
A gunshot was heard at the starting point, and the entire playground was filled with shouts of “Come on!”
Liang Qiyun looked back and saw a boy in his class's white school uniform running forward in third place.
Then the second baton was passed.
She turned around and saw Zhou Mingzheng was ready to start the race and was looking back at the student running second.
The distance is getting closer.
The SLR has been raised.
Zhou Mingzheng started running, took the baton with his hands behind his back, and increased his speed.
Liang Qiyun quickly turned around and walked quickly across the lawn.
She exerted the greatest strength of her life, not even caring about her sore legs.
She just wanted to go faster and faster.
Be sure to get there before the baton is handed over.
She wanted to record the sight of the young man coming through the wind.
I could hear countless people screaming and shouting.
She heard someone say, "Look, the one in white has overtaken someone!!!"
Could it be him?
It seemed that he was the only one wearing the white class uniform.
Liang Qiyun stood on the green lawn inside the baton exchange area, panting.
She suppressed her weakness and raised her SLR to focus, and saw the young man running towards her in front of the small screen.
Press the shutter button.
When it was time to hand over the baton, the boy overtook another opponent and became the leader.
He ran across the line and handed the baton to Tang Di.
Then Tang Di flew away like an arrow from a bow, and the others behind him had just finished handing over the baton.
There seems to be no suspense about finishing first in the group.
Liang Qiyun stood firmly and tried hard not to fall down.
She saw Zhou Mingzheng walking to the lawn and wanted to take out the bottle of mineral water and hand it to him.
But the boy didn't seem to see her at all and jogged towards the finish line.
The other students gathered around the lawn also ran towards the finish line.
Everyone was like this, wanting to witness the final moment of crossing the finish line.
That is the most exciting scene in any competition at the school sports meet.
The sunlight seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and it felt somewhat burning when it fell on my body.
There weren't many people walking around.
Liang Qiyun finally stopped holding on.
She relaxed, letting her legs go limp, and just casually sat down on the lawn to rest.
Slightly panting heavily.
This time she didn't look at the photos of the boy taken by the SLR camera.
Instead, he looked at the SLR bag, on which stood a bottle of mineral water, the water inside still shaking.
She took it out and put her hand on the cap to twist it open.
Give your life the greatest strength.
The bottle cap showed no signs of turning.
Instead, the pads of her delicate fingers were all red.
There were cheers at the finish line.
Liang Qiyun looked over and could only see a crowd of people, with students in various class uniforms gathered together.
It was a carnival for a group of people.
It just doesn't belong to her.
It's so quiet here with only the sunshine for company.
She and they are in two different worlds.
