Chapter 2 (bug fix)
Su Yu looked at the big man in front of him silently, hummed sullenly, and returned to sit down beside the bed.
Zhou Yuang had a good temper and didn't get angry when being ignored. He opened the door and brought his luggage in. Then he met Jiang Yuan who was cleaning the dormitory.
"Hello, Zhou Yuang."
"Hello, Jiang Yuan."
Two big guys who were 180cm tall at the age of 14 stood together, making Su Yu, who was the same age but just barely 170cm tall, feel that even the air in the dormitory was diluted by them.
After the two tall men greeted each other, Zhou Yuang put his luggage on the only empty storage shelf and took out some daily necessities from it.
In the dormitory, there was Jiang·Old Mama·Yuan in front and Zhou Yuang in the back, both of them were experts in tidying up. Su Yu, who was sitting alone on the bed, seemed to have nothing to do. But before he stood up and wanted to straighten the bedding on his bed, Jiang Yuan beside him jumped up first.
"Hey, ancestor, leave it there, I'll come later."
At Jiang Yuan's words of persuasion, Su Yu stopped what he was doing and looked at the corner of the quilt in his hand, feeling a little annoyed.
To be honest, he didn't really want to see Zhou Yuang.
Logically speaking, the two were roommates in the same dormitory during the summer camp, and their relationship should not have been too bad. However, he heard the news that Zhou Yuang was selected by Pei Dingshan from discussions among classmates in other dormitories. After that, Zhou Yuang said that his teaching assistant would give him extra practice, so he moved to a single dormitory for fear of disturbing his roommates.
The only interaction between the two of them was probably the friendship they had as roommates in the dormitory for three or two days.
So Zhou Yuang probably feels that this roommate friendship is dispensable.
However, it had been ten years since what happened, and Su Yu could not clearly remember what they had spent together during those limited few days. He just felt a little annoyed looking at Zhou Yuang in front of him.
It is hard to tell whether this irritability is due to the thin plastic roommate relationship between the two, or because of the irritability brought about by the different destinies of the two.
Previously, he suddenly asked Jiang Yuan what his dream was. It was also a long time later that one day, Jiang Yuan took him to eat barbecue, and after getting drunk, he muttered to him -
'Hey, there was a company sports meet today, and those guys in the company couldn't beat me in short sprint, high jump, and long jump. '
'They don't even think about the fact that I was the record holder for the high jump among teenagers in our S city. I just didn't choose to be a professional, otherwise they wouldn't be able to jump even a fraction of my height. '
It was also at that time that Su Yu remembered that Jiang Yuan was different from himself who was a sickly child. Jiang Yuan had a talent for sports since he was a child, not only in track and field, but also in football and basketball coaches in his interest classes when he was a child. He was a good candidate for sports.
He rejected Pei Dingshan's invitation due to health reasons. After returning to the dormitory, he vaguely remembered that he was very excited to see Jiang Yuan, but after hearing him say that he had rejected Pei Dingshan, Jiang Yuan quickly calmed down.
Thinking about it later, I vaguely heard that the head coach of the provincial track and field team summer camp once took a fancy to a student in the summer camp, but was rejected by the student when he invited the student to undergo professional training.
The main event that the head coach taught was high jump.
It was Jiang Yuan who rejected the invitation from the provincial team's head coach and didn't mention it to him at all.
Later, when Jiang Yuan sobered up, Su Yu asked Jiang Yuan why he refused the provincial team coach. Jiang Yuan smiled and said - he was too tired and not interested.
This was so false that Su Yu was too lazy to expose it.
So at that moment, he was thinking again about how many people's fate was affected by his refusal.

"Ancestor, what are you thinking about?"
While Su Yu was reminiscing about the past, Jiang Yuan had already tidied up the dormitory quickly and turned around to make the bed for Su Yu.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuang beside him also came over: "Making the bed? Do you need help?"
"……Need not."
Su Yu subconsciously refused. Although he had been spoiled since childhood, he was not to the extent that he could not even make his bed. It was just that Jiang Yuan held him down and prevented him from moving because he saw that he was in pain.
He wanted to do it himself, but Jiang Yuan really didn't let him move today and called Zhou Yuang, who had started the conversation, to join him.
"Come on, come on, one on each side."
The two big guys, about 1.80 meters tall, were very skillful and had helped him make the bed before Su Yu could intervene.
"Thanks, brother."
Jiang Yuan was thanking Zhou Yuang, and Su Yu also said thank you.
"Why should I thank you?" Zhou Yuang had dark, wheat-colored skin, and he looked like someone who had been exposed to the sun for years. When he smiled, he always showed his eight big white teeth, and he looked particularly hearty and reliable.
While talking and laughing, Zhou Yuang turned his gaze to Su Yu again and continued to laugh: "Hey, classmate, why don't you introduce yourself? I saw you didn't say anything just now, and I thought you hated me!"
Su Yu then remembered that he had not introduced himself since Zhou Yuang came in. After a pause, he said, "No. 12 Middle School, Su Yu." After a pause, he reluctantly added, "I don't hate you."
Zhou Yuang was a man who took advantage of the situation and immediately grinned and said, "Su Yu? The rain that's going to rain?"
"…Mountains and islands."
"Shan Yuyu? Su Yu? Su Xiaoyu? Hey, your name is pretty nice."
Su Yu no longer remembers what happened when he first met Zhou Yuang in the dormitory, but why doesn't he remember that Zhou Yuang talked so much at the time?
"That's enough." Jiang Yuan knew from the look on Su Yu's face that his little ancestor was a little irritable again, so he pulled Zhou Yuang and said, "Xiao Yu is not in good health. He just took a long car ride and is feeling uncomfortable. Let him rest for a while and we can talk."
Su Yu is not talkative, but Zhou Yuang and Jiang Yuan both have youthful personalities and love sports, so they quickly started chatting together.
Su Yu sat alone on the bed in a daze, thinking about the past.
When he was a child, his health was not very good before junior high school. He would have minor problems from time to time and scared his parents. He was a frequent visitor to the school clinic in elementary school, so much so that the school doctor once lamented that the child might not grow up.
Because of his physical condition, his family never let him get too tired. Later, a doctor suggested that he exercise more to improve his physique. So his parents went a step too far and sent him to the summer camp of the provincial track and field team during the summer vacation of his first year in junior high school.
It is called a summer camp, and while the students are strengthening their bodies, it is actually an opportunity for the coaches of the provincial and municipal teams to screen good talents. Therefore, the entire summer camp is basically trained according to the intensity of the provincial and youth teams. There will be a slight slackness, but it is also limited.
Just like what the students from previous summer camps said - after a whole day of training, they can't wait to swallow two large bowls of rice.
Because Su Yu was in poor health, the coaches of the summer camp had received the request from Su's parents in advance and reduced a lot of his training. However, he had never experienced such a complete training before, and he almost lost a layer of skin after three days of training.
It was at that time that Pei Dingshan came to him.
As he was exhausted at that time, it was impossible for him to accept the invitation to practice alone again.
On the edge
Zhou Yuang and Jiang Yuan were chatting happily, and somehow the topic turned to Su Yu.
"Hey, Yuanzi, with our little ancestor's physique, can uncle and aunt let him come to summer camp without worry?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan sighed deeply and whispered, "Why should I be relieved? I bet Uncle Su and Aunt Lin won't be able to sleep well this month."
This was the first time since Su Yu was a child that he had left home to participate in an activity for such a long time. If Jiang Yuan hadn't been with him, not only Su's parents, but even Jiang's parents wouldn't have been willing to let Su Yu attend the summer camp.
Jiang Yuan was overwhelmed as he spoke: "This horrible weather right now is terrible. I think it will be 33 degrees tomorrow with the sun shining directly on it, and we're still training outdoors..."
"It's okay, it's okay. If our little ancestor really can't handle it, those teachers are not stupid." Zhou Yuang patted Jiang Yuan's shoulder to comfort this roommate he just met.
"I hope so."
Jiang Yuan sighed, glanced quietly in the direction of Su Yu, still a little worried.
***
Su Yu ignored the conversation between Jiang Yuan and Zhou Yuang. He was searching his memory for information related to the summer camp that year.
He had a bad personality since he was a child. He was in poor health but stubborn. Although he rejected Pei Dingshan that year, he did not escape from the summer camp courses. Although he was weak, he gritted his teeth and attended the summer camp for more than a month without missing a single day. Later, he returned home and fell seriously ill, which scared his parents, but his health has improved a lot since then.
Looking back, this summer camp was a turning point in his life, but in his later memories, it was gradually filled with regrets.
Generally speaking, the entire summer camp is organized by the provincial team in conjunction with various middle schools in S City in order to select good athletes. According to the provincial team's selection needs, the theme of the summer camp varies every year. For example, their overall course setting this season is biased towards short jumps.
The provincial team of Province S is considered to be in the upper-middle level in the country, with ample funds and high-level coaches. It has produced several world-class throwing athletes, but it is not outstanding in short jumps. The provincial team has been trying to find a breakthrough, but the best results so far are the several high jumpers that Xia Zhouquan, the head coach of this summer camp, successfully sent to the national team.
The provincial team hopes to make some progress in short jumps, especially in sprinting, but the reality is that most of the famous domestic sprinters come from Province G. As China's largest sprinting province, Province G's sprinting talents basically occupy half of the domestic sprinting circle. Outside of Province G, teams from Provinces H, F, and J are all strong domestic sprinting teams, but there is no provincial team from Province S.
In short, in order to build the echelon of the entire provincial team and develop in the desired direction, Province S has formulated a track and field young talent plan, one of the key goals of which is placed on the short jump.
This summer camp is part of their Young Talents Program.
During the 40-day period of the summer camp, the camp coaching team will provide a complete cycle of training for the students in the aspects of youth physical training, strength training, short jump techniques and skills.
Among them, in order to better classify the summer camp students, after the adaptive physical training two days before entering the camp, a round of unified testing will be conducted on all summer camp students on the third day.
Pei Dingshan also took a fancy to him after that test.
But his sprint result that time was actually very mediocre. Su Yu didn't understand why Pei Dingshan took a fancy to him after that test.
Thinking of this, Su Yu felt a little irritated again.
On the side, Jiang Yuan was chatting with Zhou Yuang while secretly paying attention to Su Yu. Seeing him immersed in his own thoughts with a cold face, he felt a little worried in his heart - he didn't know what happened to his little ancestor today.
***
The next morning, Su Yu was awakened by Jiang Yuan.
The training schedule for the summer camp is distributed early in the morning before entering the camp. The morning training time is 5:20 in the morning. There will be no time for you to eat early in the morning. Breakfast is arranged after the morning training.
Su Yu recalled a lot of summer camp training content yesterday, but forgot the pain of morning training.
He always had a bad temper when he woke up in the morning. When Jiang Yuan woke him up at 5:05 am, he felt his whole head was buzzing. Even though he knew in his heart that it was not Jiang Yuan's fault, he still couldn't help feeling as if his whole body was covered with a layer of ice chips.
Just when Jiang Yuan was worried about whether he could get up, Su Yu gritted his teeth and climbed out of the bed with a stern face.
Then he brushed his teeth, washed up, changed into sportswear, and finally followed the crowd to the training ground with Jiang Yuan and Zhou Yuang. The students around him who were attending the summer camp on the first day were still full of energy, and their chattering made Su Yu, who was already irritable, feel a headache.
After we arrived at the designated stadium, we saw a young coach standing next to the stadium. He had an extremely handsome face and did not look like a coach of the provincial sports team. Rather, he looked like a star who came here to film a TV show and experience life.
Su Yu recognized it at a glance.
It’s Pei Dingshan.
Many students around were amazed by Pei Dingshan's outstanding appearance, but this meritorious coach of the national team's sprinting team, who could remain calm in front of CCTV reporters ten years later, was as good at exuding cold air as he was ten years ago.
A few minutes after Su Yu and the others arrived, Pei Dingshan pressed the timer in his hand, and then signaled the students who had arrived to start running around the playground to warm up.
"Hey, coach, what about us?"
The students who were stopped by Pei Dingshan were somewhat confused.
Pei Dingshan ignored them and just pointed to the number 1 in the marked area with 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the ground of the training ground, indicating that the students should stay there.
After the students stood still in confusion, he recorded them one by one in the training book in his hand. Finally, he put down the training book and glanced at the students present: "One circle in 1 minute, 10 circles in 10 minutes. I will accompany you before going to bed tonight until you finish."
In an instant, the students in the circle were devastated. In the last second, they thought the coach in front of them was incredibly handsome, but in the next second, the only three words left were "unbelievable".
Some brave ones wanted to ask "Why?", but before they could open their mouths, they trembled with fear when they met Pei Dingshan's eyes.
***
In the stadium, the students who were already warming up were running laps miserably, feeling lucky that they were not late.
Jiang Yuan and Zhou Yuang could run very fast, but now they both looked at Su Yu, whose face was pale, with some concern.
"Yuanzi, do you think our little ancestor is okay?"
Jiang Yuan also had a worried look on his face: "... Damn it, this is only the first day of summer camp."
Su Yu could no longer hear any other sounds around him. This body, which had seldom exercised in the past, was exhausted even from jogging to warm up the joints. He couldn't help but want to give up many times, but he didn't know if it was an illusion, he always felt that Pei Dingshan's eyes outside the training ground would sweep over him from time to time.
So, he didn't know what kind of stubbornness he had, but he gritted his teeth and continued to persevere, the only thought in his mind was - 'I can't lose'.
