"Mom, Chen is participating in a competition today, and it's being broadcast live."
"I want to cheer him on."
In a small house of about 50 or 60 square meters, Li Kaile turned on the TV early in the morning and shared the news of Zhou Chen's competition with her mother.
"He's excellent, he'll definitely achieve great results," the middle-aged woman said with a smile. She didn't stop Li Kaile from watching TV, but instead sat down beside him to cheer him on.
The whole school is on holiday today, but the news of the live broadcast of this city-level sports competition had already spread to all teachers and students yesterday.
There are quite a few students like Li Kaile who pay attention to this.
After all, Zhou Chen and other members of the school team represented the entire school, and even some school leaders were watching on television.
Zhou Na was alone in her school dormitory, while her roommates had all gone home.
Zhou Na had long been accustomed to the quiet and peaceful weekends. Even before the family separated, she didn't go back every week. She preferred to be alone and enjoy her time by herself.
Just now, she received a group text message from her homeroom teacher, Wu Yingjie, reminding her that the city-level sports competition was about to begin.
This made it impossible for Zhou Na, who was trying to concentrate on her studies, to maintain that level of focus.
I can't help but think of Zhou Chen, who is currently participating in the competition. How will Zhou Chen perform? Will he achieve an excellent ranking?
Zhou Na felt conflicted about this matter; she wanted to know, yet she didn't want to know.
Finally, to stop dwelling on the matter, she locked her dorm room door, left the dormitory building, and decided to personally verify what Zhou Chen had said earlier.
Are the three siblings adopted by the Zhou family?
Half an hour later,
Zhou Na returned to her familiar neighborhood, knocked on the door of the oldest resident, and inquired about what happened back then.
Inside the stadium, the noise was deafening.
With the sound of a signal gun, Zhou Chen, standing on a track, shot out like an arrow drawn taut from a bow.
Cheers echoed throughout the stadium.
Lu Guoliang stood outside the track, watching the figure who was far ahead, like a red lightning bolt, run to the finish line in an instant.
He abandoned all pretense of modesty and shouted, "Good!"
The other school team members who hadn't started their match yet also showed joy on their faces, happy for Zhou Chen, because Zhou Chen's victory in first place had extinguished the arrogance of the others.
In previous 100-meter races, first place was always taken by others; the best result ever achieved by the school team was only third place.
But Zhou Chen's appearance has ended this awkward situation, directly taking first place, and not only that, but he has also left everyone else in the dust, dominating the entire field.
"Old Lu, did you hire someone else? 12.11 seconds, is that a speed a high school student can achieve? Who is he? Why have I never seen such a talented student in you before?"
"I thought the first place would definitely go to my student. You, Lu Guoliang, actually resorted to underhanded tactics and hid such a powerful weapon. You've really humiliated all of us old friends."
"You need to explain properly where this monster came from!"
Several middle-aged men, around the same age as Lu Guoliang and carrying identification badges, approached him, their tone sour, filled with surprise and envy.
The students on the school team were familiar with these people; they knew they were Lu Guoliang's friends and old rivals. However, every time they came over before, they mostly showed off, which made the students grit their teeth in anger.
Today, I was clearly shocked by the emergence of Zhou Chen, this athletic genius.
Lu Guoliang rarely vented his anger, and he stood up straight. After all, Zhou Chen was his student, and if Zhou Chen got first place, then he got first place too.
"Up until the college entrance examination, in all the 100-meter races after that, our No. 1 High School team always came in first place."
"Don't even think about it, give up now."
Facing old acquaintances and friends, Lu Guoliang was full of pride and boasted. This wasn't just him bragging; Zhou Chen's achievements spoke for themselves, giving him the right to say such a thing.
You know, in the past, others would say these things to him, but now he's saying them back exactly as they were said to him.
This is absolutely amazing!
Lu Guoliang felt that his years of depression had been released at this moment.
"Old Lu, don't think that just because you got results this time, you can stay in first place forever. Don't be too happy about anything too soon."
“That’s right, no one can stay in first place forever. Next time, our student will definitely surpass that kid.”
Facing the group of people who were unwilling to admit defeat, Lu Guoliang said calmly, "My ace can easily run in under 12.36 seconds. If you want to catch up, you'd better maintain this time first."
Besides, do you think today's result is his limit? He only just slightly pushed his limits.
Lu Guoliang's words left the other school team teachers stunned.
Damn it, he tricked me.
At this moment, Zhou Chen, who had finished the 100-meter race and returned to the rest area, took the initiative to report to Lu Guoliang.
"Teacher Lu."
He spoke with a smile, and judging from Lu Guoliang's expression, he was clearly very satisfied with his achievements, his face filled with pride.
On the other hand, the other school team teachers standing to the side were clearly not so happy; they all looked quite depressed.
"Xiao Zhou, you did a good job. Go and get some rest."
Facing his protégé Zhou Chen, Lu Guoliang immediately draped a towel over Zhou Chen's shoulders, gesturing for Zhou Chen to sit down and rest in preparation for the next long jump competition.
Zhou Chen nodded.
"Hey kid, wait a minute, would you be interested in coming to our school and joining our school team? Tuition is free!"
"Come to our school! Not only is it free, but I can also help you get a scholarship."
