In the 5,000-meter race, there were only two people in the first echelon. In the last lap, the third place slowly caught up, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the first place was running out of energy.
This kind of long-distance race is not as quick as a short-distance race. It tests endurance, and the results can be easily seen in the later stages. But now, no one is sure which athlete will have the last laugh, the third place who will make a late effort, or the first two who have been performing well before?
The cheers from the sidelines became louder and louder. Everyone cheered for the athletes from their class. Even the students watching the race at other venues were attracted by the excitement.
Zhang Na ran slower and slower. It was not just her physical strength, but more importantly, her mentality was no longer maintained. The more she heard someone catch up, the more anxious she became, and the more anxious she became, the slower she ran. If she continued like this, she would defeat herself before she even reached the finish line.
Su Yi even heard her choke.
The big devil reflected in her heart, did she go too far? She never thought of making a girl cry, and she didn't dislike Zhang Na. She
thought about it, suddenly quickened her pace, ran in front of Zhang Na, and said as she passed by her, "If you don't want to be outdone, just follow me."
Zhang Na's face turned pale, staring at the back of Su Yi's head. After a few breaths, she gritted her teeth and seemed to have a goal again, and followed closely behind Su Yi.
At this moment, she seemed to be unable to hear the outside world. The sore legs and the rumbling chest did not seem to be her own. All her attention was on the figure in front of her, and there was only one thought in her mind: follow her.
Su Yi paid attention to the movement behind her and realized that she had caught up, so she gradually accelerated and started the final sprint.
"The second place has passed!" people outside the field shouted.
"I don't think so, she seems to be ready to take the first place." Someone observed for a while and said.
Zhang Jiajia led a few girls and jumped excitedly on the spot, shouting: "Oh my God, Suyi, I love you! Come on, Suyi! Suyi will win!"
Later, one of the students who gathered around said: "Hey, why does that girl running in the front look a little familiar?"
"Such a familiar contrast, an eye-catching counterattack, a strange sense of incongruity, isn't she the great player in the tennis game this morning!"
"It turned out to be her! Oh my god, girls nowadays are too scary! They look like little white rabbits, but they are so strong and have great physical strength. Why doesn't she fly to the sky?"
This 5,000-meter event is destined to be impressive. In the end, Suyi led Zhang Na to cross the finish line, and at this time, the third place was only a dozen meters away from the two.
The top three runners were only ten seconds apart. There had never been such a fierce competition in the history of the school.
Just after crossing the finish line, each runner was supported by his or her classmates. Su Yi looked back and saw Zhang Na had already fallen into her classmate's arms.
"Su Yi, you are really amazing!" Zhang Jiajia's face was flushed, "5,000-meter champion, I can't even think about it in my life! Are you tired? I'll help you to rest."
Other classmates said in unison, "Yes, yes, go and rest first, I have some water here, do you want to drink some?"
"I have chocolate!"
"Here, a tissue is for you, wipe your sweat first."
Xiao Yan and Han Lu stood not far away, watching Su Yi being surrounded by female classmates, unable to squeeze in.
Han Lu shrugged. Normally, he and Xiao Yan would be the focus of these little girls, but now, they surrounded Su Yi and were attentive and attentive, not even giving them a glance.
He looked sad and exaggerated, "Alas, these days, not only do I have to compete with my same sex, but even girls are my competitors."
Su Yi received unprecedented warm care, and more importantly, in order to replenish her physical strength, those girls contributed all their snacks. She reaped a lot and was happier than winning the first place.
A group of girls surrounded her, asking about her well-being for a long time, until the radio announced that the competition was over today and the rest of the people had dispersed, and then they said goodbye to Su Yi and went home.
The sun had already set, and the sky was filled with sunset glow. Su Yi was walking on campus with her schoolbag on her back. The bag was filled with snacks she had received. She couldn't help shaking the bag every two steps to feel how full it was.
She decided that even for the sake of the food, she had to find a way to make friends with those girls.
Mao Tuan thought to herself, yes, the friendship of the big devil is worth a bag of spicy strips.
Han Lu had already left, and Xiao Yan walked beside her, watching her excited steps.
Su Yi's steps were still jumping and skipping until she got home.
Before entering the door, she heard Su Wanting's voice in the living room, so she stopped and walked in slowly.
In the living room, Old Lady Qu was talking to Su Wanting.
Su Yi called out to her grandmother and said, "I'm going upstairs first."
"Come down for dinner later!" Old Lady Qu said loudly.
"Okay!"
Su Wanting was flipping through a magazine in her hand. Old Lady Qu looked at her expression before continuing the previous topic.
Her daughter and granddaughter were both her closest relatives. She loved both of them, but she couldn't do more except maintain the current situation.
She knew Su Wanting's suffering. What happened back then was a knot in her heart, and Su Yi was that scar, which had never healed and was bleeding all the time.
But even so, she had never really done anything to Su Yi. It was not easy to marry into a wealthy family like the Xiao family, but she still brought along what others called a burden.
Old Lady Qu was sure that if Yi Yi was born under normal circumstances, her daughter would be the most competent mother.
Unfortunately, fate played tricks on people.
Fortunately, Yi Yi never complained about this since she was a child, and the child was sensitive. Since the first time she called her mother, she found that Wanting didn't like it, so she stopped calling her mother. She also knew that Wanting didn't see her very often. Every time she came home, if Wanting was there, she would go upstairs alone, not to cause trouble for others. She was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.
In the room upstairs, Maotuan thought about the scene just now and couldn't help but said, "Yiyi, are you unhappy?"
Suyi took out the snacks from her bag, placed them on the table one by one, and said casually, "No."
Maotuan moved her furry body, "Actually... we can treat her as a passerby and don't care at all."
Suyi raised her eyebrows, peeled out a frozen strawberry wrapped in white chocolate, and stuffed it into Maotuan's mouth.
"Are you worried that I am dissatisfied with a mother of this status? Don't worry, I won't."
She won't do anything to a mother.
Moreover, in her opinion, what Su Wanting did not only did not annoy her, but was also too soft-hearted.
In the past, when she was weak, there were other monsters who wanted to bully her, but she eventually chopped them into pieces. She was not strong enough at that time, but she was ruthless enough, ruthless to others and even more ruthless to herself.
If she did not have this ruthlessness, she would not be alive now.
If what happened to Su Wanting happened to her, she would not let the man live, would not keep the child, and even if she had to keep the child, she would not let her appear in front of her again.
And Su Wanting just ignored her and paid for Old Lady Qu to raise her to this age, which was enough to prove her kindness and soft-heartedness.
So Su Yi felt that what she could do was to stay out of her sight as much as possible and not rub salt into other people's wounds.
Xiao Yan stood outside Su Yi's door, holding a gift box in his hand, which was full of snacks, one of the things he bought yesterday.
He had not intended to deliver it to her door, but somehow, whenever he thought of how Su Yi was so lively before and then immediately became silent after returning home, he couldn't sit still. When he came to his senses, he was already standing outside her door.
He stood facing the door for a while before he raised his hand and knocked.
"Come on." Inside the room, Su Yi swept the snacks and the fur balls on the table into the drawer, and then ran to open the door.
Seeing that it was Xiao Yan, she was a little surprised, "Is it time to eat?"
"It's still early," Xiao Yan shook his head and handed over the large gift box in his hand, "This is for you."
"What is it?" Su Yi held the box with both hands and opened a corner with some difficulty. Various snack bags with bright packaging could not wait to pop out, stimulating people's vision and taste buds.
"Wow..." Su Yi's eyes lit up, "Are they all for me?"
Xiao Yan nodded, thought about it and added: "Eat after dinner."
Su Yi's eyes could no longer hold anything else, and nodded randomly, "Okay, okay."
Xiao Yan didn't care much about the obvious perfunctory tone. If these foods can make her happy, their mission will be fulfilled.
After he left, Su Yi held her face, looked at the gift box, and then looked at the drawer, and couldn't help but say happily: "Today is such a good day."
Mao Tuan saw her smiling face and felt that the big devil was too easy to satisfy.
But he was also a little alert. What was Xiao Yan planning to do for no reason?
The sports meet lasted for two days. Su Yi had finished the competition the day before, so she didn't have to go. But she remembered that Zhang Jiajia had a 4x100 relay race the next morning. The other party was cheering for her today. As a courtesy, she should go to watch the game.
Xiao Yan had something to do in class, so he went out with her, but they went their separate ways when they arrived at school.
Arriving at the playground, Su Yi was looking for the base camp of her class. Several girls waved at her from a distance, "Su Yi, over here!" As
soon as she walked over, they surrounded her with chatter, "How are you? Are your legs sore today?"
"Does your throat hurt? I remember the last time I ran 800 meters, my throat was as dry as if it had been scraped by a knife. I started coughing the next day."
Su Yi smiled and said, "I feel fine. I don't hurt anywhere."
"You have such a good physique. You are so thin and your skin is so white. How did you do it?"
"Let me see," a girl rolled up her sleeves and compared with Su Yi, with envy on her face, "You are one shade whiter than me, and you don't even have sweat hair. You feel so smooth."
"Really? Let me touch it."
"Let me touch it too."
"I want to touch it too!"
Su Yi had a dull smile on her face, and suddenly she was touched by four or five girls, some of them even touched her twice!
She still hadn't reacted to how things developed to this point.
She said yesterday that she wanted to be friends with these generous girls who had lots of snacks, and today it seems that they have become friends. Is
the friendship of girls like menstruation, coming so suddenly and so overwhelming?
She cleared her throat and tried to save herself, "Has our class competition started?"
"We were just notified to go for registration, and the boys in our class have been sent out to take seats. We will stand in the best position to cheer for you! Here, this is for you." A girl handed her two shiny cheerleading balls.
Su Yi remembered that she was the deputy monitor, and her name should be Fang Yingying.
Fang Yingying distributed the cheerleading balls to the people, and then said to them, "We don't need those fancy slogans. Listen to me later. I'll shout 'Class 9' and you shout 'Come on!'. I'll shout 'Class 9' again and you shout 'We must win!' Is that okay?"
"No problem!" The others said in unison.
The competition was about to begin, and Su Yi followed the crowd and gathered around the track.
It was still the preliminary round, and there was a girl standing every 100 meters on the track, all of them looking a little nervous.
Zhang Jiajia was the first runner, and she stood there stretching her arms and legs. When she saw her classmates, she smiled at them.
At the referee's command, the athletes rushed out, and the deafening cheers rang out.
Su Yi had never cheered for others before, and she originally thought it was a bit strange to shout like that, but when everyone was cheering, she couldn't help but shout along, and the louder and louder she shouted, the happier she became.
Their class was the second to cross the finish line, and the students outside the stadium cheered with joy. Fang Yingying even patted Su Yi on the shoulder and said, "You have a really bright voice, you can go sing now!"
Su Yi laughed along with everyone else.
The preliminary round was divided into two groups. After the competition, everyone listened to the radio with their ears cocked, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they were sure they could enter the finals.
Just as they were over their joy, they saw Zhang Jiajia walking over with a classmate, her face heavy, "He Ye sprained her foot."
He Ye was also a contestant, running the last leg.
The other students' faces fell, "What should we do?"
"I'll take He Ye to the infirmary."
"I have medicine in my bag, do you want to spray it first?"
Two girls helped He Ye away, and the others were worried.
"Who else can run?" Zhang Jiajia looked around at the remaining girls.
There were only 20 to 30 people in the class, and only about ten girls. Those who could run had already signed up, so it was not easy to find another one.
Fang Yingying pursed her lips, "I'll go."
"No," Zhang Jiajia refused without thinking, "Didn't you say yesterday that you had your period and had a stomachache? Today is only the second day, you can't do strenuous exercise."
Su Yi looked around and saw that the group of people who were so happy just now were now wilted as if they were hit by frost, so she said, "I remember that everyone can sign up for two individual events and one group event? Then I'll go."
Before Zhang Jiajia could say anything, the other girls said, "You just ran 5,000 meters yesterday. If you run again today, your body won't be able to bear it."
"Yes, I'll go."
Su Yi had no choice but to say, "I'm really fine. If you don't believe me, I'll run a section for you to see."
Zhang Jiajia had trained with her for a while, and after yesterday's competition, she knew that her physical strength was much better than that of ordinary people. At the moment, there was no more suitable candidate, so she could only say, "Let Su Yi try. Anyway, we have entered the finals. Even if we are the last, we still have a place, right?"
The others nodded in agreement, and told Su Yi not to be nervous, just run casually, and running the whole course would be a victory, and she didn't need to worry about winning or losing.
Su Yi immediately felt that she was underestimated by these little girls.
Before the competition started, she and Zhang Jiajia ran to the infirmary and changed into competition clothes with He Ye.
As soon as they returned to the stadium, they heard the radio broadcast notifying the athletes to take their positions. Zhang Jiajia didn't have time to say much, just said: "Don't be nervous, hold the baton tightly before running, it doesn't matter whether you win or not!"
Su Yi made an OK gesture.
She walked to her position, and Fang Yingying and others outside the stadium shouted her name and cheered her on.
The competition started soon. Perhaps because of He Ye's accident, the other three athletes in the class were holding back their anger. Originally, after the preliminary round, they entered the final as fifth place, but they performed better in the final than in the preliminary round. After the first two batons were finished, they were still in second place.
The third runner didn't hold the baton tightly, and was a little slower, and was overtaken by another class.
Seeing that it was almost her turn, Su Yi started to run slowly. As soon as the baton was in her hand, she rushed out immediately. At this time, there were two people ahead of her.
People outside the stadium cheered and Zhang Jiajia followed her all the way outside the track.
"Su Yi, just do your best! Come on!"
No one expected Su Yi to get a good ranking, but when she rushed out, the girls in Class 9 screamed collectively.
She was really running too fast, and the frequency of her legs moving was dazzling. They were so excited that they even forgot the slogans and just kept shouting!
Su Yi rushed for a while, and suddenly found that she could no longer see the other players on the track out of the corner of her eye. She realized that she had worked too hard. Seeing that the finish line was only a dozen meters away, her feet paused suspiciously. When she saw someone catching up, she rushed through the finish line with confidence.
"Ahhh, we won!"
"Su Yi, you're awesome!"
"I love you Su Yi!"
As soon as she stopped and before she could stand still, she was overwhelmed by the girls rushing up.
Various soft bodies leaned against her, and some people hugged her tightly. Su Yi felt...she was being squeezed to the point of suffocation again.
A group of girls were too excited and surrounded Su Yi as she walked to the school cafeteria.
They heard from Zhang Jiajia that Su Yi had a big appetite, but now it seems that a big appetite is nothing. If she doesn't have a big appetite, can she throw a pencil ball? Can she run 5,000 meters? Can she beat other classes?
Su Yi ran so hard just now, she must be hungry, they want to treat her to a meal! Eat whatever you want!
The first-year boys and girls had finished competing, and the second-year boys' relay race was next. Han Lu was calling the roll in his class when he suddenly saw a group of girls walking past him. The girl in the middle who was being supported like a star looked particularly familiar.
He pushed Xiao Yan and said, "Little boy, you still have a competition today? It's really not easy."
Xiao Yan was also watching, and Su Yi happened to look over, so he nodded.
Su Yi's hands were held by someone, and she said hello with some difficulty, and was dragged away.
"Su Yi, is Senior Xiao really your brother?" someone asked curiously.
Su Yi said, "It's true."
"It's great to have such a handsome brother. You don't know that my brother is so sloppy and not handsome at all."
"Not only is my brother not handsome, he always laughs at me for being ugly. He has bullied me since I was a child. I hate him so much." Fang Yingying wrinkled her nose and said.
Zhang Jiajia was very upset, "You at least have brothers, but I don't even have brothers or sisters. Be content."
The others smiled and said, "People should look forward and can't always compare with the people behind them. So our goal is Su Yi. You can't understand this feeling."
Zhang Jiajia was so angry that she wanted to beat them.
It was still early and there were not many people in the cafeteria. They occupied a large table.
Except for the time when she was with Liang Hang and his group at the beginning, this was the first time for Su Yi to eat with so many classmates at the same table. Girls love to talk, and just listening to their chatter was enough to keep her company while eating.
She sat in the middle of them, feeling quite novel.
"Su Yi, try my spare ribs, they're quite delicious."
So Su Yi stretched out her chopsticks and took a piece.
"My vinegar lotus root slices are not bad either, would you like to try them?"
She took another bite. Of course, others also tried her dishes.
Zhang Jiajia saw that the atmosphere was quite good, and thinking of the previous misunderstandings of Su Yi by the classmates, she intended to explain for her.
"Let me tell you, everyone misunderstood before. Su Yi was not with Liang Hang at all, let alone dumped him. She just taught Liang Hang how to do his homework. Don't you think so, Su Yi?"
Su Yi was chewing on the ribs and had no time to talk, so she just nodded.
One girl waved her hand and said, "I said, Liang Hang is not worthy of Su Yi at all."
"That's right, what else can he do besides sleeping and fighting? He looks good, but he can't compare to Senior Xiao. How could Su Yi be interested in him?"
"Even if Su Yi really dumped him, it would be his honor."
"That's right." The other girls echoed.
Zhang Jiajia listened to them talking one after another, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
How could she remember that the wind direction was not like this not long ago?
So, girls are really extremely biased creatures. When they regard you as their own, everything you do is right. Once you are excluded, just like Liang Hang they are talking about at this moment, even breathing is wrong.
As of this morning, all the events in their class have been completed. Several girls agreed to go shopping for clothes in the afternoon and called Su Yi. However, Su Yi was not very interested and did not go.
It was lunch time and there were not many people on the playground. Su Yi slowly walked to the outside of Xiao Yan's classroom, intending to ask him when he would go home.
Xiao Yan saw Su Yi in the classroom and got up and walked out.
"Do you have any more competitions in the afternoon?" Su Yi asked him.
Xiao Yan had nothing to do and was waiting for her. "No, I'll ask Uncle He to pick her up."
"Okay." Su Yi nodded and leisurely jumped on the tiles on the ground.
It was obvious that she was in a good mood. After Xiao Yan finished the call, he looked her up and down, "Have your classmates left?"
"Yeah, they went shopping. They treated me to a meal today and gave me a lot of snacks." Su Yi threw the schoolbag on her back.
This was the strangest thing about her. The girls in the class all had a lot of food in their bags, but they didn't eat much. They looked at this and said they would get fat if they ate it, and looked at that and said they would get acne if they ate it. After learning that Su Yi would not get fat and had never had acne, they touched her face with envy and stuffed snacks into her. After
hearing this, Xiao Yan remained calm, but quietly took out his mobile phone and placed dozens of orders on the shopping website.
Can't be outdone by others.
