Chapter 7
The students have not yet heard about the issues discussed by the coaches, or even if they have heard about it, they don’t have the energy to think about what will happen 40 days later.
For the children in the summer camp now, the morning training starting at 5:20 every morning is enough to make them complain, not to mention that the whole day is not just morning training, but also different courses in the morning and afternoon.
In fact, the training courses that Pei Dingshan has designed for the summer camp students are already very restrained, but the process of training and physical exhaustion is painful.
For example, after the first day of running training, some students who did not follow the coach's instructions to relax their muscles after class felt a critical hit on their bodies when they woke up the next day. Even those who had trained well were overwhelmed by the fatigue caused by the lack of adaptation to the training intensity on the second day.
Some students asked for leave directly from the teachers in charge of the summer camp schools, and the teachers did not refuse.
In dormitory 303 of the summer camp, Zhou Yuang was probably the one in the best condition. Although he had not received any formal training before, the training system of his junior high school track and field team was relatively standardized, with fixed training times every week. In addition, he loved sprinting and would practice extra on weekdays, so he had no problem adapting to the basic training in the first two days of the summer camp.
Although Jiang Yuan is not a member of the school track and field team like Zhou Yuang, he is in good health. He was forced by the school to train for a long time before the provincial middle school sports meeting, so he has no problem adapting now.
In dormitory 303, Su Yu was the only one who had not received high-intensity training.
When Su Yu woke up the next day, he was a little confused.
He hadn't experienced this feeling of being run over by a truck for a long time. Although he had reduced the amount of training the day before and had completed a complete relaxation process after training, his physical condition was still worse than expected.
He could no longer remember how he had managed to survive the summer camp. Perhaps his brain had automatically blocked out the painful memories, so that after the passage of time, his memory of the entire summer camp was a little fuzzy.
When Jiang Yuan was about to call him to get up at 5 o'clock in the morning, he saw his terrible complexion and condition, and his heart immediately skipped a beat.
"Fuck, ancestor, are you okay?"
Su Yu shook his head, pursed his lips, lifted the thin blanket covering his body, and sat up in shorts and a T-shirt. However, the movement of standing up still made his brows twist together, and his little face looked in a very bad state.
Zhou Yuang also finished washing up and came over. Looking at Su Yu's condition, he was also worried: "Hey, Xiaoyu, in your condition today, why don't you just not go to training? Or take a day off?"
Jiang Yuan also nodded and pointed outside the door: "Just now, there were a lot of people outside saying that they wanted to take a day off today. It will be fine if you take a day off too!"
But it was obvious that Su Yu, who had already stood up, had no intention of accepting their suggestion.
He frowned and adjusted to the soreness and fatigue in his body for a while, then said in a muffled voice: "I can do it."
“Eh…”
Zhou Yuang felt that this was not going to work and wanted to persuade him a little more, but Jiang Yuan next to him was already sighing.
Jiang Yuan: "Okay, but don't be too stubborn. If you can't hold on any longer, just tell me. Otherwise, forcing yourself to exercise will backfire."
After Su Yu went into the bathroom to wash up, Zhou Yuang looked at Jiang Yuan: "Yuanzi, why don't you give our little ancestor some advice? He obviously hasn't exercised in the past. He exercised hard yesterday, so he must be feeling very uncomfortable today."
Jiang Yuan glanced at him and said, "Do you think you can persuade Xiao Yu?"
"Ah, this."
Zhou Yuang scratched his head and shut up. Although they had only known each other for less than two days, Su Yu exuded a stubbornness from head to toe. It was obvious that he was the kind of person who would not turn back until he hit the wall, and might not turn back even if he hit the wall.
"Well, the little ancestor is really hard to persuade."
Zhou Yuang sighed, but looking at the smile on his face you could tell that he was not actually angry, just a little worried, and his eyes revealed his admiration for Su Yu's tenacity.
He patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Yuanzi, don't worry. Coach Pei will know what's going on. Besides, our little ancestor hasn't exercised for a long time. If you want him to adapt little by little, then half of this summer camp will have to be spent on this."
"I'm telling you, I have experience with this. My health wasn't very good when I was a kid. I definitely felt a little uncomfortable at the beginning of training, but after a week or so, my body got used to it."
"Besides, to be honest, our little ancestor was fine yesterday, so he should be even finer today. If there was really a problem, he should have been sent to the hospital yesterday!"
Jiang Yuan: “…”
Jiang Yuan was quite moved by what Zhou Yuang said earlier, but when he heard the last two sentences, he glanced speechlessly at Zhou Yuang, who was 180cm tall, had dark wheat-colored skin, and showed a mouthful of white teeth when he smiled.
"…As for you, you were not in good health when you were a child?"
Zhou Yuang chuckled: "Compare, compare now."
When Su Yu walked out of the bathroom, he saw Zhou Yuan and Jiang Yuan chatting. He looked at the two of them puzzled, wondering what they were talking about.
When Zhou Yuang saw Su Yu coming out, he immediately stepped forward and put his arm around Su Yu's shoulders: "Okay, little ancestor, let's go, let's go to the morning training."
As he said that, he glanced at Jiang Yuan again and pretended to be puzzled and said, "Yuanzi, why don't you leave? Don't let Coach Pei catch you and make you stand in the number circle as punishment."
Jiang Yuan gave him an unpleasant look, then stood on the other side of Su Yu and went out with the two of them.
When the three of them walked to the training ground, Pei Dingshan was already standing next to the training ground as usual. After seeing Su Yu and the other two, Pei Dingshan glanced at Su Yu who was standing between two of them, and nodded slightly.
Zhou Yuang was the first to show Pei Dingshan a brilliant smile: "Good morning, coach."
Pei Dingshan nodded and turned his gaze to Su Yu: "Your physical condition is worse than other students. How do you feel today?"
Listening to Pei Dingshan's question, Su Yu responded sullenly: "I'm fine."
Pei Dingshan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard his answer, and focused his attention on Su Yu: "Su Yu, I should have told you that since yesterday, you and Zhou Yuang have been cooperating with my project experiment."
"As your coach, I expect you to answer honestly about everything related to your status."
"This will affect my assessment of your physical condition and the accuracy of my research conclusions."
After saying this, Pei Dingshan asked Su Yu the same question again: "Now, tell me, how do you feel now?"
The same problem, but with different levels of oppression, came to Su Yu.
He clenched his fists silently before whispering, "Not very well. My muscles are sore, my limbs feel heavy and tired."
After finally getting Su Yu's answer, Pei Dingshan first observed the exposed skin on Su Yu's body, and confirmed that Su Yu's limbs were still able to move freely. Then he finally showed a gentle expression: "Very good, that's it - Su Yu, I hope you can understand that I am your coach, and we need to build mutual trust. I need to know all your conditions so that I can make the most appropriate plan for your training."
"Do you understand?"
Su Yu was silent for a while before he slowly nodded and said "hmm".
Looking at the awkward child in front of him who looked like a frightened kitten, Pei Dingshan sighed secretly in his heart. Fortunately, at least he was willing to obey. Other things could come slowly.
After asking about Su Yu's situation, Pei Dingshan turned his attention to Zhou Yuang: "Is everything okay?"
Zhou Yuang immediately stood at attention and said loudly: "Report to the coach, everything is fine!"
"Um."
Pei Dingshan nodded and raised his hand to signal the two of them to go and prepare to warm up.
When Su Yu was about to pass by, he said, "Su Yu, reduce the amount of warm-up today by half, and reduce the amount of training later by two sets based on yesterday's amount."
Su Yu was about to say that he could do it, but Pei Dingshan said first: "I'm the coach, listen to me."
When Pei Dingshan waved his hand again to let the three people leave, Zhou Yuan whispered to Jiang Yuan: "What do you think? I said the coach knows what's going on, right?"
After that, he tried to persuade Su Yu earnestly: "Hey, little ancestor, let me tell you, although our training plan is formulated according to the standards of middle school students, you have never exercised in the past, so you can't follow the standards of ordinary people."
"Coach, this is for your own good. Otherwise, if you get hurt, you won't be able to cry."
Su Yu was a little annoyed at first, but after hearing Zhou Yuang's words, he remembered that in the summer camp in his previous life, he felt physically exhausted on the first day, but he gritted his teeth and persevered to the end. The price of such persistence was that he suddenly fell seriously ill after the summer camp ended.
The disease almost took his life. Although he was eventually cured clinically, there are still some inexplicable sequelae.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath silently and told himself - Su Yu, don't be anxious.
On the other side, when Pei Dingshan was giving a speech to Su Yu, the time had actually exceeded the 5:20 arrival time for morning training. Some students noticed that Pei Dingshan was talking to Su Yu, so they quietly went aside and mixed into the team waiting for the warm-up run.
As a result, before the warm-up run began, all of these people were caught by Pei Dingshan one by one.
"…Help, isn't he talking to that Su Yu?"
"Devil, is he really not a surveillance camera transformed into a spirit?"
In the team that started running laps, only Zhou Yuang looked smug: "Hey, look, our coach is really awesome!"
Su Yu looked at Zhou Yuang, whose current personality was completely different from the one he later became when he became the No. 1 domestic sprinter. At the same time, he silently responded in his heart: ...How is he so awesome? Is it because the surveillance camera has become a spirit?
On that day, Pei Dingshan, the future meritorious coach of the national team's sprinting, was given a new title in this summer camp - the monitor devil.
The author has something to say:
Pei Dingshan: (frowns) Hmm?
