Very cute
"hiss!"
At the sink in the bathroom, Zhou Xi grabbed a handful of water and splashed it on her face. The cool tap water drove away a lot of her sleepiness, and some of it was also woken up by the slap.
"Are you okay, Sister Zhou? You're going to be late for gym class, hurry up!"
Xiao Xiaoyu was shouting at the door, her tone was as urgent as if she was asking for her life, but her expression was not anxious at all. She looked at a group of boys in school uniforms playing basketball on the playground.
Zhou Xi shook the water stains on his hands into the pool full of yellow dirt, cheered himself up, and just as he came out of the toilet, Xiao Xiaoyu grabbed his arm and rushed to the playground.
The physical education teacher was holding the whistle that was originally hanging around his neck in his left hand and spinning it around, while he held the registration form in his right hand and put his hands on his waist.
They stood in a dazed manner, like a disabled soldier with missing limbs, with their eyes wide open and dry, and they kept smacking their lips.
"Look at you two, you don't look healthy at all. All your yang energy has been sucked out of you."
The physical education teacher looked helpless and sighed, "It's too difficult, too difficult. Money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to eat."
"It's because studying is too tiring!"
"Teacher, I got up at six o'clock and don't go to bed until half past ten at night. What do you think?"
The physical education teacher heard the students complaining loudly below, and when he glanced at them, he saw only rolling eyes, with two dark circles under those eyes. He glanced out the window at the playground that was being baked hot by the sun.
The teacher said in a calm tone, as if he was tired. "I won't argue with you today. The sun is almost setting, so it's a good time to go for a run. After that, you can go home. No need to gather. Have fun. Oh, and be careful while you're playing!"
There were complaints and attempts to bargain below.
"No, teacher!"
"Teacher, are you lying? One lap is enough. Two laps is too tiring."
"That's right, it's so sunny outside."
"Teacher~"
The physical education teacher smiled evilly and said confidently, "Okay..."
"You idiot, there's no room for negotiation, run!"
"Depend on!"
"Teacher, why are you panting? Are you having asthma?"
“Ahhhhh…”
“So annoying!”
“It’s so sunny.”
Xiao Xiaoyu stood in the third row, glaring at the teacher fiercely and whispering to Zhou Xi, "You idiot PE teacher! It's so hot, running two laps won't stop the sunscreen from covering it! This teacher is already tanned, and he wants us to be like him! How vicious!"
"I hate running 800s the most, bar none!"
"It's okay. It's almost five o'clock now, and the sun isn't that hot." Zhou Xi looked out the window at the playground and comforted Xiao Xiaoyu.
Gao Liyang and Lu Zisheng happened to be standing behind Zhou Xi and Xiao Xiaoyu, and could hear their conversation. Gao Liyang tugged at Xiao Xiaoyu's hair and said, "Hey, Miss, two laps, is that okay?"
"Get away, don't pull my hair. Who are you looking down on? It's just two laps!" Xiao Xiaoyu slapped Gao Liyang's hand away.
"You guys run slowly, I'll wait for you at the finish line." Gao Liyang touched his eyebrows and deliberately showed off.
Lu Zisheng hooked his arm around Gao Liyang's shoulder and said sarcastically, "Gouyang, your leg has healed a long time ago. You're pretending to be nothing but a teacher. I despise you!"
"Tsk, who wants to run under the scorching sun? Go for it." Gao Liyang elbowed back, "Roll, roll, roll, let go."
Zhou Xi looked at Gao Liyang in surprise. He didn't expect him to be like this, doing such a brazen move and acting so confidently. However, when he thought about it, he was such a lazy person, so if he had an excuse, he would certainly use it.
If it were her, she wouldn't want to be burned by the sun either.
"Sports Committee Member, step out—"
"You, lead them in running, moving at a steady pace. Don't run in a disorderly manner. Students who need apprenticeships should step out and explain the reason."
As soon as the whistle was blown, Lu Zisheng took the lead and followed in rows from the front to the back.
“Come on, come on!”
There is one last bend and the sharp whistle at the finish line sounds.
"Speed up, speed up, keep breathing!"
Lu Zisheng shouted. He was leading the team well in the front, but he couldn't stand everyone's laziness. When he looked back after running halfway around, everyone had dispersed.
So he simply ran two laps as fast as he could and then waited at the finish line.
“Hoo-hoo-hoo!”
Zhou Xi closed his mouth tightly, breathing only through his nose, holding a breath in his chest.
Swing your arms, run forward at a certain rhythm, keep your eyes on the finish line, and try to ignore the feeling of sweat on your body.
Start turning and accelerate...
Crossing the finish line...
"Sure, Sister Zhou, you're so good at running too."
When Gao Liyang saw that Zhou Xi was the first girl to finish running, he gave her a thumbs up without hesitation.
"You are amazing, what a plan."
Zhou Xi has been taking Zhong Yinan to run since she was a child. Two laps are a piece of cake for her. She finishes the run quickly without any particularly large fluctuations in her breathing.
But the weather was too tiring, so she walked off the track, did some stretching exercises and calmed her breathing.
Before long, Xiao Xiaoyu ran across the finish line howling like a ghost and wolves, and collapsed on the ground: "Woo, woo, woo, mother, mother, I don't want to run anymore, I'm so tired, I'm dying!"
Of course, he was ridiculed by Lu Zisheng.
"Hahaha, sister Xiaoyu, is this okay? You're too weak!"
"Hey, let me tell you..."
Seeing this, Zhou Xi went over to help her and took her for a walk. She was not allowed to squat or sit after running.
"Lu Shengsheng, you, don't be so cocky. Wait, wait until I recover, and you're done for!"
Zhou Xi couldn't hold Xiao Xiaoyu back, so he pounced on her with his teeth bared.
Well, it seems that I still have the energy to try.
"ah!"
"let go!"
"Your parents, how dare you mess with me! I..."
While Xiao Xiaoyu was resting and pecking at rice with Lu Zisheng, Zhou Xi glanced around.
The girls were chatting or taking a walk in the shade in groups of three or four. Most of the boys were playing basketball on the court, and many girls were watching the game there.
She hasn't played basketball for a while. The main reason is that whenever she goes to the court, the little guys in the village are too weak and chase her everywhere, howling and screaming, which is deafening. If her brother comes back, he can distract them.
Except for the girls who took leave, most of the people on the playground had finished running, with only one or two still left. The weather was really good and the sun was quite powerful.
Zhou Xi narrowed her eyes and her gaze rested on a girl, her deskmate, Gao Yuanyuan.
Her deskmate doesn't seem to get along well with the others in the class and keeps to herself.
I just barely finished a lap and it seemed like I couldn't run anymore. I walked and ran, very slowly, but I didn't give up. My spirit is very valuable.
Zhou Xi loosened his grip on Xiao Xiaoyu's arm and said, "Xiaoyu, my classmate hasn't finished running yet. I'll go and help her run a bit."
When Xiao Xiaoyu heard Zhou Xi's words, she stopped arguing with Lu Zisheng and followed Zhou Xi's gaze to see a short figure.
I am really touched. He is so kind. Xiao Xiaoyu knows that she is not a good person, but Zhou Xi is really a soft tofu. She really wants to eat him.
"come on!"
Gao Liyang stood beside him, hands behind his back, and patted Zhou Xi on the shoulder: "Go ahead, come on, helping others is the most glorious thing."
"Just speak nicely, why are you pretending to be a deep old man?" Zhou Xi ran onto the runway, took a step and chased after him.
"Oh my god, I'm dying of laughter, Yangyang, you have come to this day!"
Gao Liyang: “…”
Gao Yuanyuan ran until she felt dizzy, sweaty, and had difficulty breathing. Her legs felt like they were filled with lead and she couldn't move. She was like a dying fish struggling. She hated herself for being like this.
She has been in poor health since childhood and is basically not good at sports like this, but she is stubborn and refuses to be worse than others.
Suddenly she felt someone grab her arm and pull her forward.
"I'll take you running!"
Gao Yuanyuan raised her head with difficulty.
Against the light, she couldn't see Zhou Xi's expression clearly, but she felt that his whole body was shining in the sun. It felt very strange. He was obviously an unreachable person, but now he had become her guide.
But she must be in a very bad state now, and there are actually people willing to help her. Gao Yuanyuan felt a warm feeling flowing through her heart, and her eyes suddenly became hot.
Crying.
"Adjust your breathing, don't think too much, run hard, and hold on a little longer!"
“…”
Gao Yuanyuan felt that she could not hear clearly what Zhou Xi said. All around her was the sound of the wind. She just tried hard to catch up with Zhou Xi's pace and catch up with her.
"Hmph..."
Run across the finish line.
"Woo woo~"
Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but buried her head and cried, her tears falling like beads, she was really tired, but also very moved.
"Thank you, thank you!" Mixed with crying, Gao Yuanyuan's words became more and more stuck.
"It's okay, stop crying and take a rest."
Zhou Xi was a little annoyed. How could he cry so much? His tear glands were really developed.
Xiao Xiaoyu and Lu Zisheng were also staring at Gao Yuanyuan in amazement, and they all sighed in their hearts: This girl! Awesome!
Xiao Xiaoyu felt a little sorry for this girl. She was even worse off than her. Running two laps felt like it took half her life away. She looked like she had been fished out of the water, soaking wet.
"Here's a tissue, wipe it." Xiao Xiaoyu took out a tissue from her pocket and handed it to Gao Yuanyuan.
Lu Zisheng handed over a bottle of mineral water.
"Hey, classmate, are you alone? Come and have dinner with us after class, so you can have some company!" Xiao Xiaoyu suggested when she saw that most of the people around her had left and it was almost time to go home from school.
"Uh, okay, okay, yeah!" Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Zhou Xi and his group.
"Miss Xiao, are you planning to expand your group of close friends again?" Gao Liyang interrupted.
"What's the matter! What's the matter? Stay out of girls' affairs!" Xiao Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at Gao Liyang and embraced Gao Yuanyuan.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Gao Yuanyuan, that's the round face."
"Well, the name is as cute as you, easy to remember!"
"Hey, why do you speak like a piece of sugarcane, one section at a time?" Xiao Xiaoyu noticed that Gao Yuanyuan was abnormal.
Gao Yuanyuan lowered her head, feeling even more uncomfortable: "This is a problem I've had since I was a child."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Gao Yuanyuan pursed her lips, her dimples sunk, and her eye bags curved into an arc: "It's okay."
Lu Zisheng took Gao Liyang's arm, looked at Gao Yuanyuan from the side, and commented in his heart: The name and the face match well, she is a little stutterer.
Of course there's no malice involved.
The sun shone on the group of people, casting a halo on their school uniforms, and the noisy chatting made them forget their worries and studies for a while.
Their youthful sunshine is like wild grass growing wildly and cockroaches that cannot be killed.
After dinner, under Xiao Xiaoyu's coaxing, Zhou Xi took the two of them back to the dormitory.
"Whoosh, whoosh~" The air conditioner was turned on very low, outputting cold air very quickly.
"It feels great! This is enough for my life! Ah!" Xiao Xiaoyu slumped in the chair, closed her eyes, and felt that every cell in her body was screaming with fatigue.
"Fortunately, there is such a quiet place with air conditioning."
Gao Yuanyuan looked around the dormitory with only one bed. The air conditioner was blowing coldly. She didn't like such an empty place. These standing beds seemed to be staring at her.
It's a real monster! It crawls out at night and scares people. It gives me goosebumps and it's so uncomfortable.
"Zhou Xi..."
"Why call me Zhou Xi? Call me Sister Zhou!" Xiao Xiaoyu interrupted and hugged Gao Yuanyuan.
"We're all friends from physical education class, don't you think so, Sister Zhou?"
"Yeah." Zhou Xi replied and went into the bathroom.
Gao Yuanyuan bit her mouth and opened it several times: "Zhou, Zhou..."
"Hey, Yuanyuan, is Sister Zhou's mouth hot?" Xiao Xiaoyu blew in Gao Yuanyuan's ear, "Sister Zhou, Sister Zhou, Sister Zhou, call—"
Gao Yuanyuan heard the command, took a deep breath, and sang the red song with all her might: "Sister Zhou——"
Zhou Xi was so frightened in the bathroom that he almost couldn't open the door.
"Oh my god, my ears are going to be deafened!" Xiao Xiaoyu was so happy that she couldn't straighten her back.
"No, sorry." Gao Yuanyuan blushed.
"It's okay, it's okay, you cutie."
"Sister Zhou..."
"Yeah." Zhou Xi responded quickly.
"Why are you alone in a dormitory?"
"Oh, well, it just so happened that the girls living in the dormitory were divided into dormitories, and there was one extra person. I was last on the roster, so I had a room to myself."
Zhou Xi put on slippers, looked around, answered slowly, and added.
"There aren't many people living in the school dormitory. I heard there are quite a few empty dormitories, so no one came in later."
Actually, not entirely. After a while after school started, Zhang Tu contacted Zhou Xi and found that some dormitories could still accommodate one or two people.
She refused.
Isn’t it nice to be alone? Living together with a few strangers, it’s like living in a vegetable market with all the friction.
"That's great! It's so cool! I want to stay here too."
Xiao Xiaoyu was startled and sat cross-legged on the empty bed next to her. The wooden board hurt her butt as much as a steel plate. She kept moving around uncomfortably, and finally, after she acted coquettishly and got Zhou Xi's consent, she moved onto the bed.
"Yes, that's fine."
"It makes me want to apply for accommodation, but no, what will happen to the flowers at home if I stay? Forget it, I don't deserve it. I'd rather just be a hardworking gardener!"
"When the time comes, you can come to my house and I'll show you the flowers I grow. They're very beautiful! There are roses, red, yellow, white, pink, and..." Xiao Xiaoyu counted on her fingers, but she couldn't count them all.
There were many books neatly arranged on the shelf of the small desk under Zhou Xi's bed, but there were also many books, test papers and notebooks on the table, which made it look messy.
Xiao Xiaoyu also noticed it, and curiously searched up and down, clicking her tongue: "You have so many books, they are too voluminous!"
Gao Yuanyuan was also secretly surprised. He was indeed a top student and very self-disciplined. She took a quick look and found that many of the books were in foreign languages, which she could not understand at all. She had never seen some of the test papers before. They were not homework assigned by the teacher, so it seemed that they were bought by herself.
"Sister Zhou, you make me so sad!" Xiao Xiaoyu slapped Zhou Xi's desk with a heavy tone.
Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but exclaim: "Hahaha!"
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Xiaoyu glanced sideways and threw a knife at him.
"Oh." Gao Yuanyuan quickly retreated and covered her mouth.
Zhou Xi poked his head out from the balcony: "Pick whatever you want."
Now the two of them shook their heads and spoke in unison.
"No!"
Gao Yuanyuan was stunned, but couldn't help laughing, and the guard in her heart was slightly dispelled.
As if he suddenly wanted to verify something, he looked directly into Zhou Xi's calm eyes.
