Chapter 19
In outdoor physical tests, the most popular exercise is probably the pull-up.
Those waiting in line to do their work were like being forced to do something tragic, like being forced to go to the execution ground. Those who had finished their work, or did not have to do anything, stretched their necks like ducks and gathered around to watch the excitement, adding a bit of fun to the monotony of campus life.
I couldn't do a single pull-up. It was just like hanging on to the ground, like cricket pupae of various reptiles, or standing up like a carp.
Boys, regardless of their second gender, must do pull-ups.
Gu Fang was fine, his arms looked weak, but he was born with extraordinary strength, and beneath his thin muscles lay a power that should not be underestimated.
So, the Alphas lying on the ground watched as a beautiful Omega raised her fair arms and hung on the horizontal bar. Grunting and groaning, she did thirty or so reps without hesitation before landing. She sighed and turned to the equally stunned PE teacher, "Teacher Wu, did I pass?"
Alphas: Is this an Omega? This must be the Hulk!
Of course, there are projects that Gu Fang is not good at.
For example, measuring lung capacity.
The teacher who was testing your lung capacity frowned several times and said, "Student, are you blowing seriously? Your lung capacity is not even as good as a baby's, right?"
After finally getting through the lung capacity test, I finally reached the most hellish 800-meter long-distance race.
Fortunately, there was a second gender this time, and Omegas, regardless of gender, ran 800 meters, otherwise he would have been lying there after 1,000 meters. Of course, the 800 meters was not optimistic either.
After all, in the eyes of some people, he was someone who had to use connections to skip even the morning exercises.
In fact, Gu Fang could have skipped the 800 meters, as he had a medical certificate. However, he believed he had recovered by now. Looking at the students around him doing warm-up exercises, he silently bit his lower lip and decided to go.
It's only this once, so running slower won't go amiss.
The starting gun sounded and everyone at the starting line rushed out like arrows.
Gu Fang was hanging on the tail, swaying.
He was born with pheromone secretion syndrome.
To be precise, the woman who was pregnant with him took an overdose of illegal drugs while he was still in the womb, causing his glands to be congenitally underdeveloped.
The main manifestation of this syndrome is unstable pheromone secretion and perception. Pheromone disorders are prone to occur, and the mortality rate is extremely high.
The fact that he is still alive today is entirely due to the greenhouse that his family has carefully built for him.
After the successful surgery, his estrus period became stable. When he was not in estrus, he could sense the pheromones of others, but it made him uncomfortable most of the time.
During estrus, they are extremely sensitive and still find most people's pheromones disgusting, but at the same time, they are paradoxically hungry. That feeling of both disgust and desire is extremely exhausting and despairing.
So after recovering from his illness, he basically spent his estrus period in the isolation room.
The pheromone disorder also affected his respiratory organs. Sometimes he would experience shortness of breath and difficulty breathing along with nausea.
After the operation, these symptoms were greatly reduced, and now it seems that only the lung capacity is lower than that of ordinary people.
But soon, Gu Fang realized that his estimation was wrong.
After running less than half a lap, his heart beat faster and his breathing became rapid. His lungs were like a bellows with limited capacity, and he had to take several consecutive breaths to match the breath of others.
Why not give up? He couldn't help but think of this, and seeing Teacher Wu counting the time at the starting line, he secretly made up his mind, ran up to the teacher and told her that he wanted to give up.
When I finally ran to Teacher Wu.
"Come on, Gu Fang!" Teacher Wu excitedly yelled at him while checking his watch, as if he was crossing the finish line. "You can do it! One lap left, believe in yourself! Go, go, go!"
Gu Fang swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
His steps were fine, not heavy, but his lungs felt like they were about to explode.
If he put aside these useless lungs, he should be able to run 800 meters.
But……
He stepped on a stone kicked from somewhere and stumbled suddenly. His heavy breathing had exhausted most of his energy, and his body leaned forward uncontrollably.
——Suddenly a hand grabbed him.
Due to inertia, Gu Fang staggered forward half a step, and the man turned sideways to block him, so Gu Fang half fell and half bumped into his arms.
A familiar low-pitched voice came from above.
"Can you hold on?"
Gu Fang's chin rested on his shoulder. He tilted his head weakly and whispered into his ear, "It should be... okay."
But, it definitely failed.
Lu Si actually didn’t quite understand what he said. The moment the hot air blew into his ears, his scalp went numb and his calmness seemed to be blown away.
After listening to Gu Fang breathing heavily on his shoulder for a long time, he ignored his red ears and frowned to understand the meaning of Gu Fang's words.
He actually thought he could still run?
...Yeah, he finally came here, it would be a pity for him to give up Lu Si halfway.
"Can you still walk?" Lu Si lowered his eyes and looked at his red face.
Gu Fang's breathing gradually became steady, and Lu Si felt his chin tap on his shoulder. Then Lu Si slowly loosened his hand from around his waist, and after Gu Fang steadied himself, he continued walking forward.
There were many onlookers looking at him from all directions.
Lu Si's brows were still furrowed. He glanced coldly at the people around him, then turned away in frustration. He then followed Gu Fang, silently walking alongside him on the side of the track.
When he reached the finish line, Gu Fang's face was still abnormally red.
Without saying anything, Lu Si grabbed Teacher Wu, who was talking to the students who were recording their grades, and said, "Teacher Wu, do you think he should go to the infirmary?"
Teacher Wu looked at Gu Fang, thinking he was in some serious trouble, but it turned out to be this: "His lung capacity is too small, and he's out of breath from running. Why go to the infirmary? He'll be fine in a while. Go for a walk first, don't rush to sit down."
There was a desk next to the track with paper cups on it and a bucket of water on the ground.
Lu Si went over, lifted the bucket with great force and poured a glass of water. He glanced at the table next to him, where there was a bag of glucose, so he took it and poured it out without hesitation.
"Brother Si, what's up?" Xie Ziyao put away his phone, sat behind the table, raised his eyebrows, and swung his legs. "Are you here to take advantage of our class again?"
The sports students from Class 7 were also training nearby, and the glucose on the table belonged to them.
Lu Si shook the paper cup to wait for the glucose to dissolve, and glanced at him indifferently: "Then why are you, an art student, here? Are you skipping class again?"
Xie Ziyao quickly lowered his body and glanced at Teacher Wu: "Dad! You are my dad! Don't yell so loudly!"
Lu Si raised the paper cup and raised his eyebrows at him.
Xie Ziyao held up the glucose and asked flatly, "Would you like more? It's free and unlimited."
Lu Si watched Gu Zao walk around in a small area and then slowly come back, so he stepped forward and handed him the paper cup.
"Drink." He said simply.
The redness on Gu Fang's face gradually faded. He took a sip and glanced at Lu Si with raised eyelashes: "Have you finished the test?"
"Yeah, I just finished the test," Lu Si stood side by side with him, looking at the next group of students starting to run not far away, "I came by to take a look."
The summer heat had gradually dissipated, and the sky was clear and cloudless. It was a beautiful day. The sky was so blue that it always reminded Lu Si of Gu Fang's eyes.
A breeze blew across Gu Fang's face, and he suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him. Gu Fang turned his head and saw that Xie Ziyao's eyes were emitting gossipy light, staring at them like light bulbs.
Gu Fang felt embarrassed being stared at and quickly looked away.
"Don't pay attention to him." Lu Si also noticed that side, and his tone paused. He was not sure whether Gu Fang was simply embarrassed because of seeing Xie Ziyao - after all, that was the little star with super long excess hair.
He sighed inwardly, but his face remained calm as he said calmly, "That's just his nature."
Gu Fang sipped the glass of glucose water he had snatched from him and nodded obediently: "Ignore him."
Lu Si tilted his head, lowered his eyes and glanced at him with an unclear expression.
He moved his lips, as if he was about to say something.
A whistle blew, and Teacher Wu waved over: "Xiaolu! We're short on manpower, come over and help me time the 1,000-meter meter!"
Lu Si came back to his senses and raised his hand in response.
The end of September is destined to be difficult. After the physical test, the monthly exam will follow.
Although it is not a city-wide joint examination, it is a monthly examination organized by the three best high schools in the city - No. 6 Middle School, No. 12 Middle School and Foreign Language Middle School.
No. 12 Middle School has always regarded itself as the leader among the three schools, and it must do well in the joint examination. The teachers of each senior class mobilized everyone before the exam, especially the top classes.
Lao Du said at the class meeting that at least one of our classes must be among the top ten in the city.
Basically, the top ten in the joint entrance examination of these three schools are definitely the top ten in the city.
But everyone remained silent and reacted indifferently.
What Lao Du said actually has a very interesting origin. When Gu Fang entered the school, Director Liu said that the average grades of Class 2 have always been the best among the three science and engineering classes, but there are not many top students ranked in the top ten in the grade.
There are not many people in the top ten in the grade, let alone the top ten in the city.
Seeing that no one was enthusiastic at all, Lao Du angrily slammed the desk and said, "What's wrong with you? Do you lack confidence in yourselves or in the teacher?"
Everyone said in unison: "I——"
"How about this," Lao Du had no choice but to use his ultimate move, "If someone in our class makes it into the top ten in the joint entrance exam, I can negotiate with the grade leaders to give us an extra day off on the 11th."
You know, the Academic Affairs Office has already issued a notice that the 17-day National Day holiday has not even reached half of its duration, and it's only three days if you count on your fingers.
Every day that passes means more blood and tears.
Everyone was stunned, their expressions changed immediately, and they pulled out their teaching aids and test papers: "Old Du, let's test it right away! As long as we can't kill ourselves, we'll test it to death!"
Lao Du was very satisfied: "Then it's settled."
The hopes of Class 2 all rest on one student council member.
The student council member is the best student in Class 2 and is ranked among the top five in the entire grade.
For several days in a row, someone brought breakfast to the student council member, and after class, they would wait for him to massage his shoulders and legs. The student council member was very humble, and only said after he finished massaging, "Actually, I think... I really can't get in. I don't have the ability, you know?"
The classmate's expression immediately changed, and he grabbed his neck: "I've served you for nothing, haven't I?! You are not allowed to boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige! You must pass this joint exam even if you don't want to!"
"I really can't get in..." The student council member was also very bitter. "The foreign middle school is full of talented people and animals, and the sixth middle school is full of hard-working animals. How can I compete with them? What can I use to compete?"
The student refused to let go: "You'll die!"
Student Councillor: "Quick, quick! If you don't let it go, you'll die..."
Lu Si propped up his chin and glanced to the side. Gu Fang was happily working on his papers while taking AD calcium supplements.
Only Lu Si, who knew the results of the weekly exams, seemed silent. Some people are both human and beast, and appear to be indifferent to the world on the surface. How can they take the exam in this situation?
It can’t be rolled up.
Lu Si pressed the gel pen calmly, and had already made a part-time job plan for the four-day holiday.
After the monthly exam, perhaps in order to give everyone a perfect National Day holiday, teachers from the three schools worked overtime, finished reviewing the test papers within three days, and announced the results before the holiday.
That afternoon, the student council member held the report card in one hand, as if holding a single-child baby for ten generations, and ran into the classroom, panting, like an arrow.
"Brothers and sisters! The results are out!"
The classroom suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes turned to the report card.
Rarely, everyone didn't ask about their own grades first, but instead asked, "Have you got the four-day holiday?"
This time, the student council member even forgot about the trick of playing hard to get. With shining eyes, he glanced at the corner and saw a classmate named Gu Fang, who was happily squinting his eyes and chewing on rice crackers.
"You won't believe this, but our class actually produced someone who ranked first in the city—oh no, first in the joint entrance exam—never mind, anyway, the joint entrance exam means we're first in the city—"
Everyone exclaimed, even Lu Si, who was memorizing words, raised his eyelids.
Gu Fang was still concentrating on secretly stuffing rice crackers onto the table line, thinking he was doing it quietly.
Lu Si, however, seemed to have grown an extra eye. Without even looking, he accurately pressed the bag of senbei and raised an eyebrow at him: "Don't share it yet. I'm concerned about your grades."
"My grades?"
Gu slowed down.
The student council members cast their ardent gazes at him at the same time, and the whole class followed suit.
"What the hell—Gu Fang?"
"School Prince, what the hell?"
"What the hell is this?"
The classroom charges a fee of $10.
The socially anxious boy couldn't handle the situation, and looked at Lu Si with a pitiful look on his face.
Lu Si then asked the student council member, "Are you sure?"
The student council member was also shocked: "Brother Lu, look at the transcript. He got first place in every subject and dominated the joint entrance exam of three schools. If he doesn't get first place, who will? I guess No. 6 Middle School and Foreign Language Middle School are already frantically asking about this academic genius on our school forum..."
Class 2 was once again overwhelmed by the excellence of others. Someone pulled out their phone and said, "Holy crap! Someone's actually asking about this! Sixth Middle School and Foreign Language Middle School are even teaming up to flood the screen with this."
Someone lamented: "It seems our class's catchphrase will be 'f*ck' from now on."
Someone else said: "The academic god has made us proud. From now on, when I see the students from Class 12, I will also say "wow" every day."
Class 12 is one of the science and engineering classes, and previously they dominated the top spot in the class. But now, the top spot belongs to Class 2.
Lu Si also opened the forum and took a few glances. The screen was full of posts, which seemed normal at first, so he started to ask when No. 12 Middle School would have another genius student.
But after someone leaked the photos, the style gradually shifted.
Insiders also revealed that the school's academic genius and campus hunk comes from a very wealthy and mysterious family background, which even Jing Xingye from Class 3 of Senior 3 cannot compare to.
?
The person below whose nickname is "your dad Jing Xingye" had a question mark.
Ordinary excellence may arouse jealousy, but such perfection creates a considerable sense of distance.
The comments all call it unfair and ask where the gigolo is and where his contact information is.
It was only after seeing the comments that Lu Si realized that the pretty girl next to him who was still persistently stuffing rice crackers into his mouth was superior to many others in every aspect.
He was enjoying the show at first, but suddenly he felt it was boring.
He turned off his phone and looked out the window, his dark eyes slightly absent-minded.
"You really don't want it?"
Lu Si slowly turned around.
Gu Fang's glass-beaded, blue eyes flickered slightly. The wind outside the window stirred his hair, causing it to sway softly. "It's really delicious."
In this biology class, Lao Du was passionately reviewing the test papers at the podium.
Gu Fang's eyelashes drooped slightly, and the tone of his voice was whispering, which was carried into his ears by the sound of the wind and was extremely clear.
Lu Si realized it later. The cicada chirping outside the window had stopped without him noticing, and the gentle breeze already had the scent of autumn.
The author has something to say:
A small path where you can both see and eat.
