Chapter 547 She Said
Lu Yuanqiu opened his eyes wide when he heard this: "She doesn't want to live anymore?"
What kind of iron body can sprint 15 times for 100 meters? Lu Yuanqiu looked at the playground and saw Bai Qingxia running very fast... but she was not sprinting. Even if she was not sprinting, her current speed was not the speed she should use in the early stage of 1500 meters.
Instead, it was more like a 400-meter state. Lu Yuanqiu dared to say that this state could only be maintained for one lap at most.
But if Bai Qingxia originally planned to run the entire 1500 meters at a speed of 400 meters, her method of dividing it into small goals would indeed make it a little easier mentally. However, Bai Qingxia's problem has never been mental, but that she simply does not have that kind of physical strength.
Chi Caocao: "She said she must win today."
"Where did she come up with this idea?" Lu Yuanqiu turned his head and asked.
Chi Caocao repeated like a mouthpiece: "She said that's how she recited the book."
"..." Lu Yuanqiu was speechless for a moment. How could memorizing be compared with running? Silly girl, memorizing requires memory, not muscles.
Lu Yuanqiu: "Even if she runs the whole course desperately, she won't be able to beat Long Liandong. She will probably be very tired by the second lap."
Chi Caocao: "She said that the person she wants to defeat is not Long Liandong."
Lu Yuanqiu turned his head.
Chi Caocao: "She said that the person she wants to defeat is herself who always feels that she can't beat Long Liandong."
Lu Yuanqiu looked at Chi Caocao, who was also looking up at Lu Yuanqiu. Bai Qingxia's serious eyes seemed to have shifted to the face of the little loli with twin ponytails in front of him.
Lu Yuanqiu subconsciously felt that Bai Qingxia's expression when she said that must be more serious than Chi Caocao's at the moment.
"She said so much."
"Well, she talked to me at length on the runway last night."
"What else did she say? Pass the microphone." Lu Yuanqiu crossed his arms and glanced at Chi Caocao with raised eyebrows.
Chi Caocao: "She said she likes you."
Lu Yuanqiu's expression froze.
The space seemed to stand still at this moment, and the flow of time became slow and sticky. It was obviously the answer that I had known for a long time, but why did it still feel deafening when I heard it from Chi Caocao's mouth?
He stared at Chi Caocao in a daze. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past him, accompanied by a girl's violent gasping. The strands of hair on Lu Yuanqiu's forehead floated.
Bai Qingxia, who was running at full speed on the track, flashed past him, leaving only a blurry shadow. Along with the shadow appeared many images that were frozen in Lu Yuanqiu's mind.
The voting slip with his name on it, the back of the girl who secretly took over his duty in the evening, the tears on his 17th birthday, the girl crying while holding her broken hairpin, Maple on a stool in the ward, the topic discussed on the phone, the duet outside the window on the street, the hand-knitted scarf under the Christmas tree, the class notes he copied by hand...
Chi Caocao grabbed Lu Yuanqiu's arm. Lu Yuanqiu came to his senses, lowered his head, looked at her, raised his hand and rubbed her head with a smile. However, Chi Caocao pointed in the direction of the runway and asked Lu Yuanqiu to look.
Lu Yuanqiu looked up.
It turned out to be the last lap.
Bai Qingxia is still the first place.
Liu Wangchun had been following closely behind Bai Qingxia. He had the opportunity to overtake her but he didn't. The girl in first place was running desperately. Lu Yuanqiu stared at Bai Qingxia as she sprinted the last 100 meters, wondering how she still had the strength.
Long Liandong also stared at Bai Qingxia blankly, and his cold expression began to change.
“Sprint!”
“Sprint!”
"come on!"
“Sprint!”
A voice came from the edge of the runway, not sure if it was Su Miaomiao or another student's voice.
Lu Yuanqiu walked slowly towards that side. He looked at Bai Qingxia's back as she sprinted the last 100 meters. He seemed to see a double image in her. It was a little girl with long and messy hair, swinging a broom and rushing forward.
The little girl ran quickly on the red plastic track, growing taller and bigger step by step.
Finally, she threw away the broom in her hand and became 18-year-old Bai Qingxia.
"ah!!"
Bai Qingxia successfully crossed the finish line as the first place.
She stopped outside the finish line and stood there dejectedly. Although she was exhausted, she still raised her head and looked at the scene in the sky. There was a flower-like cloud in the blue sky, and there was also a sun that she had been chasing at full speed for a full 1,500 meters.
Liu Wangchun wiped her tears and immediately hugged Bai Qingxia from behind as she was about to fall to the ground.
"Xia Xia... Xia Xia... Don't sit, don't sit, walk for a while." Liu Wangchun kept crying. Bai Qingxia's legs no longer had the strength to support themselves. They were just bent in mid-air. She could only rely on the strength of Liu Wangchun holding her to barely maintain an upright posture on the ground.
The students around immediately rushed forward, and Su Miaomiao raised her hand to disperse the crowd to make more space, while pouring glucose into Bai Qingxia's mouth.
Lu Yuanqiu and Long Liandong stood in front of the electronic timing screen.
Six minutes and fifty seconds.
Bai Qingxia tried her best, but still failed to surpass Long Liandong.
It was like no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't make up for the huge gap between her and Long Liandong.
But did she lose?
Long Liandong looked silently at the result which was only two seconds behind hers, and remained speechless for a long time.
Lu Yuanqiu was just about to run towards Bai Qingxia when he suddenly heard a voice behind him.
"Lu Yuanqiu."
Lu Yuanqiu turned around and looked at Long Liandong.
Long Liandong also turned around and looked at him: "Tonight at 7 o'clock, at the entrance of our playground, I have something to tell you."
Lu Yuanqiu stared at her, nodded, then immediately turned around and ran towards Bai Qingxia.
Long Liandong sat cross-legged in front of the electronic timing screen. She took out the mobile phone from her pocket. There was a missed call on it. Long Liandong was about to call back, but the missed call came directly.
The old man: "Why didn't you answer grandpa's call? Didn't you say the competition was almost over by now? Is it over?"
Long Liandong: "It's over."
Old man: “What’s the result?”
Long Liandong: "I won them all."
elder:"……"
Old man: "I knew it, alas."
Long Liandong: "Grandpa, I plan to confess my feelings to Lu Yuanqiu at 7 o'clock tonight."
Old man: "Ah? Ah? Didn't you say you would confess only after you lose?"
Long Liandong turned her head and looked at Bai Qingxia who was supported by several people. She looked completely exhausted. She looked up at the score on the screen, which was only two seconds behind her. Long Liandong finally took a deep breath and said to the person on the phone, "That's it. Hang up."
At noon, in the infirmary.
Lu Yuanqiu opened the door of the school infirmary carrying a bowl of millet porridge. Bai Qingxia was sitting on the white sheets in a daze. When she saw Lu Yuanqiu come in, she turned her head and looked over.
"When did you wake up?" Lu Yuanqiu put the millet porridge on the table beside the bed and sat down beside the bed.
