Chapter 68: Orange is great
On Friday, Xu Yucheng, who was preparing to rest in the classroom, suddenly heard her name on the campus radio again.
"Xu Yucheng from Class 2 (3) of Senior High School, hurry to the football field to participate in the 1,000-meter long-distance race..."
At this time, Xu Yucheng and Zheng Yu looked at each other.
What’s going on???
"Orange, you reported a 1,000-meter run?"
Xu Yucheng was a little confused and shook her head in confusion, "I didn't report it. Maybe I read it wrong?"
Zheng Yu gestured with his finger, "He's already called out the classes, so he shouldn't be wrong. Why don't we go to the football field and take a look?"
"All right."
Since today is the last day of the sports meet, there are fewer people on the playground. Only a few events are holding finals, and the rest are students doing warm-up exercises on the track.
When Xu Yucheng arrived, the teacher handed her a red vest with a number on it.
"You're on runway one."
She asked, "Teacher, I didn't sign up for the long-distance run."
"Class 2 (3), Xu Yucheng." The teacher looked at the list again.
"It's me."
The teacher waved her hand. "That's it. If you didn't sign up, then someone else signed up for you. You can't withdraw now. Go over and warm up with them first."
Xu Yucheng stood on runway number one. Although she was confused, she still followed suit.
Zheng Yu stood by the track, "Chengzi, what's going on? You really got on, this is a thousand meters."
She explained, "The name is mine. It's okay. I can just stop if I can't run anymore."
Xu Yucheng glanced at an acquaintance on the side. She remembered that it was the study committee member of the class who gave her the watch after she registered. The watch had been in her hands before, so it was the study committee member who did it?
She didn't have time to think about it because the referee was already preparing.
In the sparse crowd, the study committee member looked at the people on runway number one with a somewhat evasive look and a flash of panic on his face.
With a shout, "Run!"
The five contestants ran forward with their arms swinging, and they were all running very hard at the beginning.
Xu Yucheng watched as the people around her passed her one by one. She did not speed up, but maintained her current steady speed. Zhou Zhou had told her that when running, she should not use all her strength at the beginning, otherwise she would be very tired and have no strength left.
There were cheers and shouts of encouragement on the field, among which Zheng Yu's voice was the loudest.
"Orange! Come on! You're the best! If we can't run, then we won't run!"
After running one lap, Xu Yucheng's legs felt a little weak, but she could still continue, so she sped up a little.
The other four classmates with her slowed down their pace at this time, and two of them fell behind Xu Yucheng.
When running the third lap, Xu Yucheng stopped, opened his mouth and exhaled through his mouth.
"Orange, have a candy quickly." Zheng Yu ran over, peeled the candy he had asked other classmates for and handed it to her.
Xu Yucheng took it and put it in her mouth, looked at the huge runway, and raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face.
"It was raining heavily, so I kept running."
Zheng Yu stopped and looked at her little sister, quite surprised. When did Chengzi become so fast at running?
Looking at the boy running past, he uttered a "tsk" sound and said, "He's running with his girlfriend. Life is really full of dog food."
——
After running an unknown number of laps, Xu Yucheng couldn't run anymore and stopped on the track, with her hands on her hips, breathing heavily, and a smell of rust could be smelled in her mouth.
The referee's voice came from the front, "You're the only girl left, hold on."
She really couldn't run anymore. She bent her waist and raised her hands weakly to shake them.
Xu Yucheng dared to say that this was the most running she had ever done in her life.
Zheng Yu ran over to help her, "Chengzi, that's amazing! You ran 800 meters."
She was so tired that she had difficulty speaking. Her body was supported by the people around her, and her steps followed the people around her.
Zheng Yu whispered in her ear, "You don't know, three of the other four people running with you gave up, and one stopped halfway. You are the fastest one."
Xu Yucheng's lips turned pale. When she heard this, she turned her head to take a look, and then heard the voice again.
"Damn, that girl gave up too."
Zheng Yu helped her to the referee and took off her red vest with numbers on it.
The referee wasn't surprised at all and said, "No girl has finished the 1,000-meter race, so you're pretty close."
Xu Yucheng wanted to sit down and rest, but Zheng Yu beside her quickly stopped her.
"Orange, the teacher said you can't sit down right after running, so you should stand for a while and drink some water."
The two of them rested for a long time on the playground. Looking at the figures who gave up one after another on the track, Zheng Yu said firmly, "We are far ahead. We are not destined to shoot, but we are okay at running."
Thinking of her shooting that day, Xu Yucheng had a faint smile on her face, and some color returned to her little face.
"Orange, you don't know that when you were running, everyone else had a boyfriend to run with, but you didn't. At first glance, you really looked a little lonely." Zheng Yuyang teased her with a smile.
Xu Yucheng laughed and explained, "Zhou Zhou had something to do today and didn't come to school."
She thought: If Zhou Zhou were here, he probably wouldn't let her run a thousand meters.
The study committee member passed by at this time. The smile on Xu Yucheng's face disappeared, and her voice became a little serious, "Yu Nannan, wait a moment."
Zheng Yu was startled by her. Why did Chengzi's expression suddenly change?
Yu Nannan paused slightly, then continued walking without looking at her.
"You were the one who signed me up for the 1,000-meter race, right?" he said bluntly.
Yu Nannan's expression changed, and he turned around and admitted, "So what if it's me?"
Xu Yucheng didn't react, but Zheng Yu exploded first, standing up in an instant. "Fuck, how can you be so mean? Why don't you report it yourself? You're still the study committee member, right?"
"I didn't report it to you, why are you barking like a dog?"
Zheng Yu was so angry that he was about to curse back when the people around him started talking.
"Can't you just keep your mouth shut? Did you get my permission? You signed me up without my permission. If you're capable of signing others up, why can't you do it yourself? You think you're so noble by doing these sneaky things behind my back?"
The girl was still sitting on the ground, speaking a little louder, her eyes fixed on the person opposite her, looking very imposing.
Zheng Yu was stunned, well done to Chengzi!
Yu Nannan didn't expect that the class monitor who was usually easy to talk to in class would actually say such words at this moment. His face turned pale, his hands tightly clenched the corners of his clothes, and he didn't say anything, just staring at them straight in the eyes.
They are arrogant and neither of them will give in to anyone else.
The students passing by all moved around to the side.
Xu Yucheng was about to stand up, and she used so much strength that she forgot that she had just run. Before she could stand firmly, her legs gave out and she fell back.
In such a serious occasion, Zheng Yu should have had a fierce look on her face, but she couldn't help laughing when a small voice came from beside her.
"Dayu, come and help me."
Zheng Yu raised his chin and looked at Yu Nannan without blinking, but his feet moved silently to the side.
After squatting down, he leaned in closer and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Orange, you were a little bit lame just now."
Xu Yucheng asked seriously, "Is it very lame?"
"It's not bad, it just nearly broke me."
Zheng Yu pulled her up.
Xu Yucheng shifted on the spot before stepping forward. Her eyes were no longer as gentle as usual, and her tone was hard. "Yu Nannan, you said you wanted to run a thousand meters on purpose."
Lao Liu said at the beginning that everyone must sign up, and those who don’t sign up will be randomly assigned, but the one thousand meter race for girls can be left empty.
Yu Nannan folded her arms, no longer looking guilty, and said as a matter of course, "Yeah, it seems that the school hunk is just playing with you. He wasn't there when you ran a thousand meters, which means he doesn't take you seriously at all."
Just as she thought, Xu Yucheng remembered that when she met this guy in the girls' dormitory before, he couldn't stop talking about Zhou Zhou.
Zheng Yu rushed over angrily, "Say it again."
Xu Yucheng held her back, looked at the person opposite and said, "You like Zhou Yichen."
Yu Nannan looked back at her and said, "Yes."
"At least the school hunk is willing to play with me. As for you, I'm afraid he doesn't even know you."
One word can kill people and break their hearts.
Sure enough, when Yu Nannan heard this, her face twisted with anger and she raised one hand to hit him.
Xu Yucheng had been with Zhou Zhou for a long time, so she could tell at a glance what she was doing. As both were girls, their strength was similar. She quickly stopped her hand and said coldly, "I tried to talk to you nicely, but you insisted on using force. We're both girls. I can let it go for the 1,000-meter race this time, but if it happens again, I won't be polite."
He shook off her hand and walked away with Zheng Yu.
Yu Nannan stared at the back, gritting her lower teeth.
Zheng Yu took the hand of the person next to him and said, "Orange, I give you a thumbs up."
Xu Yucheng had completely lost her earlier fierceness. She relaxed completely, and spoke in a languid tone, "Let's go back and rest. My legs are still a little weak. Running is really tiring."
