"Everyone, take your positions!"
While the boys were still discussing how many meal tickets to bet, Teacher Liu had already started organizing the girls to make preparations.
The girls lined up in two teams and stood on the two inner rows of the runway. Jiang Li stood at the back.
"run!"
Following Teacher Liu's command, the girls began to run around the inner circle of the 400m track.
“Come on, come on!”
The boys stood at the edge of the track, cheering for their female classmates.
Although the girls didn't know why, they were running on their own, but the group of boys were even more excited than them, looking like they were full of energy, but they still ran very hard on the track.
Zhu Hong glanced at his deskmate, who was maintaining her position in the top three. He was secretly delighted, but then he looked at Jiang Li again and found that she was still at the back.
"Mo Jingchun, I'm afraid your meal ticket is going to be gone."
Zhu Hong glanced sideways at Mo Jingchun who was leaning against a tree, and thought to himself.
Jiang Li was adjusting his breathing. After the first lap, many people's physical strength declined seriously. Jiang Li, who had been accumulating physical strength all the way, began to burst out in the last lap.
The sudden acceleration allowed her to overtake several people around her and approach Zhu Hong's deskmate.
The boys nearby didn't expect something like this to happen, and they all looked intently at the two people on the track.
The thin and dark girl also noticed Jiang Li catching up with her. She quickened her pace, but still couldn't stop Jiang Li from overtaking her.
Jiang Li was the first to cross the finish line. Teacher Liu pressed the stopwatch and recorded her result.
Next up was Zhu Hong’s deskmate, who only came in second place.
"Wow, Jiang Li is so powerful."
"Yeah, I really didn't expect that."
The boys around looked at Jiang Li who was standing in the distance and said in shock.
"snort!"
Zhu Hong's face looked unhappy. He obviously didn't expect Jiang Li to get first place. This also meant that Mo Jingchun became the biggest winner of this game.
Although he was very dissatisfied, Zhu Hong still gave Mo Jingchun the meal ticket he won.
Mo Jingchun smiled and put a bunch of meal tickets into his school uniform pocket.
Jiang Li stood alone beside the stone bench outside the playground. She did not sit with the girls in her class. There was no expression on her pale face. She seemed to have become accustomed to the feeling of being alone and did not want to have anything to do with others.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Jiang Li hugged his legs and sat on the stone bench.
The boys stood on the track, and they couldn't help but look at Jiang Li. Adolescent boys always have an inexplicable liking for beautiful girls of the opposite sex, and they were eager to show off.
Following Teacher Liu's command, the boys ran forward with all their might like arrows shot from a bow.
A few minutes later, as expected, Mo Jingchun won the first place on the boys' side.
When Mo Jingchun stopped on the track, the girls in the class all saluted him at the same time.
Mo Jingchun was tall and handsome, and although he was a bit carefree, he had excellent academic performance. Logically, such a person would be able to get along well with both girls and boys.
But Mo Jingchun has a weird temper. Boys think he is too pretentious and girls think he is difficult to approach. This also leads to him having few friends in class, and only a close friend from another class will come to him.
After the physical test was completed, Teacher Liu gathered everyone together as usual, and after a brief conversation, they were allowed to disperse freely.
Jiang Li's classmates scattered around her, and she looked around, trying to find a place where no one was around to be alone, but at this time Teacher Liu reached out and called her over.
Teacher Liu took Jiang Li to a secluded road shaded by trees behind another teaching building far away from the playground.
"The teacher probably already understands your situation. If you have any problems in your studies or life, you can come to the teacher for help."
Teacher Liu said to Jiang Li with a smile on his face.
"Student Jiang Li, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so grim?"
Teacher Liu noticed Jiang Li's pale face in front of him, and out of concern he asked the latter.
Jiang Li shook his head. "I'm fine. Thank you, Teacher Liu."
After hearing Jiang Li's affirmative answer, Teacher Liu nodded. He reached out and pushed his black-framed glasses up, "You can tell me if you have any questions."
After Teacher Liu finished speaking, he took Jiang Li back to the playground.
Jiang Li found an empty spot on the playground and sat down, spending the physical education class in a daze.
When the bell rang, everyone returned to Class 407's classroom. This class was near the end of the morning, and Teacher Liu had gone somewhere, resulting in no teacher present in this class. For a while, the students around them all started chatting with each other.
As for Jiang Li, she was still sitting steadily in her seat in the back row without saying a word. Her deskmate had gone somewhere and only came back hurriedly through the back door halfway through the class.
Mo Jingchun lifted up his bangs in front of his forehead, pulled out a stool and sat down casually. At this time, he glanced at his deskmate.
Her black hair covered her fair face, and her slender fingers were turning the pages of a book. She had an aura that made people feel calm.
Mo Jingchun put his hand in his pocket and fumbled for a while, took out a 20-yuan meal ticket and threw it on Jiang Li's table.
Jiang Li was flipping through a book when a light blue plastic sign suddenly flew in front of her. She subconsciously picked it up and saw that the number 20 was written on it and the school emblem of No. 3 Middle School was printed on the back.
Jiang Li realized that this was thrown to her by her deskmate. Jiang Li turned her head and looked at Mo Jingchun, "What is this?"
"Meal tickets. Cash is not accepted at school. Even the canteen requires meal tickets."
Mo Jingchun crossed his legs and shook them while answering Jiang Li.
Jiang Li felt strange. Since this was a meal ticket, why would Mo Jingchun throw it to him?
Jiang Li didn't say anything, but just put the blue meal ticket back on Mo Jingchun's table.
"Why not?"
Mo Jingchun's bright eyes were filled with a hint of confusion as he looked at the meal ticket that Jiang Li returned.
Jiang Li didn't say anything, but the way she lowered her head to read again said it all.
Mo Jingchun simply ignored it and put the 20-yuan meal ticket on the table back into his pocket.
Originally, he had thought that after winning so many meal tickets, he could give some to his deskmate as a way of thanking her. Since the latter did not accept them, Mo Jingchun was too lazy to be a good person.
He leaned back in his chair with his head in his hands, while his long legs crossed the table and rested on the stool in the front row.
The two people sitting at the same table showed two completely different attitudes. One was working hard, while the other was slacking off as if waiting for school to end.
The breeze blew through the treetops in the distance, and the slightly swaying leaves seemed to confirm the beginning of their senior year of high school.
