Chapter 67: My friends were busy at the sports meeting, so I could only wander around bored.
"If I'm not invited, it's probably a very important party with fewer people. But if I'm invited, there will be a lot of people, and it will be even more troublesome when there are too many people."
"I'm not putting myself down. It's just that my parents are not home right now, and I'm not old enough to attend important banquets by myself."
It’s so complicated. Liu Shu looked down at the invitation in his hand. How about not going?
"You've already agreed, so don't back down!" Winnie seemed to see what she was thinking.
"You make it sound like a battlefield..."
"Really? But such unpleasant things never happen at their banquets..."
Liu Shu has always been indifferent to these things. After all, no matter how rich and powerful a person is, he will just be a corpse when he dies, at most a corpse inlaid with gold.
It won't make it decay slower, nor can it be revived.
So the one who was resurrected is really powerful. Liu Shu suddenly realized how powerful someone is.
"Sure enough, I still have to ask about the anniversary of his death?"
"What?" Winnie thought she had misheard. "Death anniversary? Aren't we talking about the party? Don't worry, I'm here."
"Is it popular to send flowers on death anniversaries here? No, I'd better find something else as a tribute."
"What? Whose death anniversary is it?"
Liu Shu crossed his fingers and placed his hand on his chest reverently. "It's from our partners."
"You don't look sad at all."
"Doesn't it count if I've been sad before?"
"Let's talk about tomorrow's game." Winnie really couldn't do anything about her.
"Do you really like the competition that much?" You couldn't tell from the outside. Liu Shu shook the water bottle in his hand and watched the bubbles rise one by one.
"This is all I'm good at..." She leaned back and looked up at the clouds in the sky.
Liu Shu patted her shoulder and said, "Come on." This is the passionate life of youth. What does she do every day?
"I will...ah, someone called me, wait for me." Winnie ran away.
That kind of speed is enough for a sprint, right? Liu Shu looked at her.
She didn't run far, and even came back after just saying a few words.
"What's wrong?"
"The teacher said we can only sign up for five projects."
"Five is too many." She really didn't feel tired. Liu Shu turned her gaze back to the things in her hands.
"It wasn't like this before. It's a new rule this year, but I never had the chance to choose these before."
"So which five would you choose?"
"I have to choose volleyball, it's a team sport. Hmm - which one should I choose between tennis and badminton? It's so difficult to decide!" Winnie looked a little confused.
"You can pick a few that you don't want to choose first," Liu Shu opened the event list. The events were densely packed and filled several pages. "You don't seem to play shot put much, right? And table tennis?"
"Yeah," she wrote and drew in her phone's memo. "By the way, are you good at playing table tennis?"
“Not at all.”
"Ah? I thought..."
"Don't think that everyone in my family knows how to play table tennis."
"Do you know Kung Fu?"
“…” Although Liu Shu knew, she didn’t want to say it now.
Winnie didn't notice anything from her silence, she began to concentrate on choosing.
"Is it too late now? To choose an event?" The sports meet will be held tomorrow. Liu Shu glanced at the shadow on the ground. It was almost past one afternoon class.
"It's not too late, it's not too late. We have to trust them. The teachers in our school always handle problems very quickly."
She sounded as if she had been through a lot, and Liu Shu couldn't help but look up at the school.
“It’s quite big.”
"Um?"
"I mean school."
"Is there? Junior high school... Oh, I forgot. Next time I'll take you to my previous junior high school. It's bigger than this one." Winnie also raised her head, and she held up the phone and placed it in front of Liu Shu.
"Look, I've chosen."
"These are all the games for the day after tomorrow, right?"
"Yeah, tomorrow you'll just have to sit in the audience bored."
"What about you?"
"I'm going to help," she said, turning off her phone and patting her chair. "I also have to cheer on my classmates, so I'll be busy these next few days."
Liu Shu tilted his head to look at her, "You are obviously very happy, right?"
"Because the activities in the past two years are completely different from the past." Winnie looked very happy.
"no the same?"
"There haven't been any events like the Olympics before. At this time of year, it was just ordinary league matches and exhibition games. It was boring."
"Sports meet, isn't that very ordinary?" Although the teacher said that we should focus on studying, the sports meet is also a very important event in the school. Liu Shu looked at her puzzledly.
"Ordinary? Your former school actually held such a complicated event? That's amazing!" Her voice was full of surprise.
"No... I think there must be some misunderstanding..."
"This kind of large-scale sports meet with the whole school participating is so exciting just thinking about it. There's no need to compete for first place." Winnie shook her head. "It's like the volleyball games with the neighboring school, where there's all this intrigue."
"That's true..." Liu Shu patted her shoulder, "Keep going."
"Don't worry, I won't show mercy even if we are classmates from the same school!" She clenched her fist with one hand and looked extremely serious.
Liu Shu's doubts were answered in the audience the next day.
"You're talking about the sports meet? It was a foreign teacher who suggested it, and it seems to be working really well." Tim put the backpack in her arms, "Take it yourself."
Foreign teachers? Could they be teachers from back home? Liu Shu looked at the principal who was holding the opening ceremony. Thinking carefully, it was really possible.
"How do you know?"
"Because it requires my consent."
He said it so easily that Liu Shu turned to look at him, "What was it like before?"
Tim looked up and recalled. To him, this seemed like a trivial event in the corner of his memory. "The sports meet started last year, but there haven't been any since then."
"So this is the second session, but I didn't see the first session, so I don't know how it went." He extended his hand to Liu Shu.
"Can I have a Coke, please?"
"Hmm...?" Liu Shu really found Coke, but she was a little confused.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Tim blinked nervously. Was it his hair that was messy? Or was it his dark circles that weren't covered properly?
"You didn't bring any coffee." She had never heard him mention the word Coke. Liu Shu zipped up his backpack a little wider. There were several packing boxes inside. Were they all for her?
"Take a break today," he looked at her seriously, "Don't tie me to coffee and work, it sounds too pathetic."
As if this was a bit disrespectful to him, Liu Shu put the can of Coke in his hand and said, "Then you should have a good rest."
"Thanks."
"You just took out one thing, so I should thank you, right?"
Liu Shu and he sat in the audience for a long time.
"Principal..." Why haven't you finished speaking yet?
"Is this segment so long?" Tim felt like falling asleep on the spot.
"There's no need to restore this too." Liu Shu took a spoon and ate half of the only box of cake.
Tiramisu cannot be kept for long, and she could tell that this was definitely Mr. Afu’s exclusive recipe.
The taste of the finger biscuits is different from those sold outside.
It's not that rough but has the aroma of baked biscuits. I don't know how he did it. Generally speaking, biscuits soaked in coffee liquid will reduce that aroma.
"It's delicious!" Liu Shu put the box in Tim's hand and took out a clean tableware and handed it to him.
"As long as you like it." Tim looked at her with a smile.
Then I was moved when I took the first bite.
"Why didn't Alfu make a version of this for us?"
"Ah? Maybe it was just developed." This kind of thing requires a matter of chance.
"It seems I'm very lucky today." He looked at the tiramisu in his hand thoughtfully.
After finishing the snacks, the second sports meeting of Gotham High School began.
"It's a performance," Liu Shu said, watching the cheerleaders dancing on the green field seriously. "Yeah—it's beautiful."
She dances very energetically and is very beautiful. Anyone who sees her would praise her youthfulness.
"..." Tim looked at the playground and then at her. He really couldn't understand. Isn't chatting with him more interesting than watching cheerleading?
"Winnie's game is tomorrow..." She also has something to do today. Liu Shu lowered her head and glanced at the time.
"Are you bored just now?"
"Are you qualified to ask this?" Tim, who was typing on his phone, was even more bored than her.
She turned off her phone and exchanged a glance with Tim.
“…”
Tim took the bag from her hand, and the two of them left the audience in tacit understanding.
"It's so quiet." It's much better than the playground. Liu Shu looked back and saw that the fluttering colorful flags and balloons made the place look very lively.
"You have to know that they are at their strongest age, so their voices are louder."
"Aren't you this age?" You are so old at such a young age. Won't you be swimming in the dirt when you get older?
“This is different.”
"But the school gate is not open now, what are we going to do outside?" Liu Shu was not used to noise, but he didn't know what he needed to do.
Tim smiled and pulled out a stack of photos. "In that case, how about going to check out some campus ghost stories?"
"Campus ghost stories?" What? There's actually something this funny? Is this school too comprehensive?
She took out a photo and looked at it carefully. The cabin in the photo didn't look like the one in this school. It was dilapidated and overgrown with weeds.
"Where is this?" Liu Shu raised his head.
"Abandoned warehouse, a long time ago." Tim leaned over and took the photo from her hand. "Want to come with me?"
"You haven't told me what happened there." Liu Shu looked at him. Although it was hard to refuse, she still wanted to ask.
"Let's talk as we walk."
Is this guy trying to get something for nothing? Liu Shu narrowed his eyes.
"It's a ghost, don't look at me like that." Tim raised his hand and pressed down on her head.
"It's just a ghost," Liu Shu took two steps forward, "Hurry up, kill it."
Tim nodded. "It's just a rumor. The cats in the school all hang out there. One classmate went to the warehouse to check, but there was nothing. But the next time they went, they found the lightbulb above them had fallen to the ground."
"Looks like I need to catch a cat first." Liu Shu's eyes were fixed on a kitten sharpening its claws on the side of the road.
