"Ah Hai, tell me how long it took me to run 5,000 meters this time."
Bai Yu sat down on the soccer field in the center of the track, took the bottled water handed to him by a fellow club member, and immediately showed off a bottle. Then he asked Wang Hai about his results this time.
"Brother Yu, your time is faster again! You finished in 13 minutes and 48 seconds, breaking the 14-minute mark! You're awesome, Brother Yu!"
Soon Wang Hai reported Bai Yu's results.
A time of 13 minutes and 48 seconds is absolutely outstanding in the 5,000-meter race in China. Even if Wang Hai's timing was slightly delayed due to his lack of professionalism, it shouldn't have been more than ten seconds. Bai Yu really did break the 14-minute mark this time.
Moreover, it was a few seconds faster than when he participated in the provincial competition. Unfortunately, it was not during the competition, and Wang Hai was not a professional referee, so this result can only be used as a reference.
"Qin Kai, what's wrong with you today? You're usually so patient, why did you suddenly start running at my pace at the last minute? This isn't like you at all."
After learning her score, Bai Yu looked at Qin Kai, who was lying to the side.
"Who told you to act unpredictably today? Who accelerates so early? If I don't follow suit, won't the distance I've finally closed be widened again?"
"This is just a ten-dollar race, do you really need to push yourself so hard? You're running even faster than during the actual race."
Qin Kai hadn't recovered yet. He lay on the lawn, not wanting to move at all; the feeling of a stitch was just too uncomfortable.
"Old Qin, that's not how you run. If you had held on at the end, even though I would have left you far behind, your result this time would definitely have been better than the last race. It's a pity you couldn't hold back, and now you have no result."
Bai Yu gave Qin Kai a simple reply, and then lay down on the lawn.
Bai Yu and Qin Kai rested, while the other track and field club members remained on the track, where they began running under Wang Hai's guidance.
To be precise, other people are chasing Wang Hai. If someone can catch up with Wang Hai within ten minutes, they can get a reward of twenty yuan.
This game was specially designed by Bai Yu for Wang Hai, specifically to train Wang Hai's explosive power. So far, Bai Yu has not lost a single penny in this game, and no one can catch up with Wang Hai.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai spent the entire morning on the playground, either running or timing others.
He ate lunch at the school cafeteria, and after that, he took Wang Hai to find their homeroom teacher.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai are in the same class, and they naturally have the same homeroom teacher. He came to school today to ask for leave. If he asks for leave, he will naturally take Wang Hai with him. Otherwise, given Wang Hai's personality, he wouldn't feel at ease leaving him alone at school.
Unlike ordinary classes, Bai Yu's homeroom teacher was a history teacher, and a young female history teacher at that. To be precise, when Bai Yu and his classmates were just starting high school, their homeroom teacher had just graduated, and Bai Yu and his classmates were the first batch of students she taught in her teaching career.
Unlike homeroom teachers who focus on academic performance, Bai Yu's homeroom teacher does not value academic performance. To give a simple example, in the past two years, their homeroom teacher has never given up a history class to another teacher.
Even during final exam review, she wouldn't let students leave her history classes. Even after she had finished explaining the content in the history textbook, she would show historical movies to help students relax while learning history.
Don't be fooled by their homeroom teacher's apparent indifference to the class's grades; it doesn't mean that Bai Yu's class ranks poorly in the grade.
On the contrary, sometimes the less you care about something, the more likely it is to come to you.
From the first year of high school to the third year, Bai Yu's class never fell out of the top five in the grade, and being number one in the grade was a common occurrence.
Just as Bai Yu brought Wang Hai to the office, their homeroom teacher returned from lunch.
"Teacher, I want to talk to you about something."
As soon as he entered the office, Bai Yu came over with a grin.
Given that the homeroom teacher had a very good personality, all the students in the class got along with her like friends, except for Wang Hai...
"Bai Yu, just say what you need to say and then hurry up and leave. I want to take a nap during this lunch break."
The homeroom teacher glanced at Bai Yu and Wang Hai, and when she saw it was the two of them, her tone was full of helplessness.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai are her most successful and most unsuccessful projects in her teaching career, even though she has only taught one class of students so far.
The reason for their success is that both of them have been admitted to Ocean University of China, which is a key university in China. It is a great honor for the teachers to be admitted by such a school.
The reason they failed is that these two were admitted based on their special talents, not their academic performance. If it were based on grades, Bai Yu might have a chance to get into a diploma mill, but Wang Hai would have no chance at all.
So the homeroom teacher felt helpless about these two students, but that was all; there was no other negative feeling.
"Teacher, I'd like to ask you for leave. You see, Wang Hai and I have both been admitted to Ocean University, so we can't take the college entrance exam anymore. Do you think we can stop coming to school?"
Looking at his homeroom teacher, who was only a few years older than him, Bai Yu spoke in a very soft voice, as if afraid that the teacher would not grant his request.
"Not coming to school? Where are you two going if you're not coming to school? Sleeping at home every day? That doesn't seem right. You should know that even though you were admitted early, you two need to know why you were admitted early."
"Don't you know why we keep you at school every day? It's so you can train with the track and field club. Training with more people means more motivation, I don't need to explain that further."
Upon hearing Bai Yu's request, the homeroom teacher first frowned, and then explained Bai Yu's current situation.
"Understood, I understand all of that. Don't worry, teacher, even if we don't come to school anymore, Wang Hai and I will not stop training."
These things are now ingrained in us; we feel uncomfortable if we don't practice for a day. Don't worry, when we go to university and participate in major national competitions, we definitely won't let you down.
......
After a discussion between Bai Yu and her homeroom teacher, the teacher finally agreed that it was okay for Bai Yu not to come to school, but at least she had to finish this week's classes first.
Bai Yu thought about what day of the week it was, and considering that there were only three days left, she agreed and then left the office with Wang Hai.
