Chapter 51: Jumping on a Hundred Ropes
"Come on, keep going."
Xiang Wenyuan looked at them provocatively.
The game continued, and because Liang Zhou's players kept letting the game go, Xiang Wenyuan quickly caught up with the score.
Gu Chaoyang received the ball, but was knocked to the ground by someone, who turned out to be his teammate.
The man apologized but watched the ball being snatched away again and kicked into his own goal.
Seeing that the time was getting closer, the other students who were bribed by Xiang Wenyuan no longer pretended and simply surrounded Liang Zhou and the other three.
"Cheating, cheating!" Qiao Youyou shouted angrily.
Liang Zhou winked at Gu Chaoyang, and Gu Chaoyang suddenly ran towards the edge of the Cuju field with the ball.
He pretended to pass the ball to his teammates, but when he raised his foot he suddenly changed direction and passed the ball back to Liang Zhou at an extremely tricky angle.
At this time, there were only four of them fighting alone, and they could not trust anyone else.
But fortunately, they have always maintained the habit of morning jogging. In terms of physical strength alone, they are many times stronger than these weak guys who only know how to shake their heads and read all day!
By now in the game of Cuju, everyone was exhausted and out of breath.
Only the four of them still had plenty of energy.
As long as they can get everyone to catch up, they will have the advantage!
On the stands next to the Cuju field, Cen Songbai was sitting with another man in his forties in a purple robe.
There were two cups of tea on the small coffee table between the two of them.
"Maoqing, what do you think of these children in the academy?" Cen Songbai picked up the teacup and gently blew away the floating tea leaves on it.
"You are such a heroic young man. You will be the pillars of our dynasty in the future." Zhong Maoqing turned his body slightly.
"But teacher, these kids still need time to grow up. The court is in need of talents right now. Why do you insist on hiding in this academy..."
Cen Songbai smiled faintly, "I am just a small director of the Imperial College. Maoqing, you have taken up your current position, and you came all the way from the capital. Don't you want to give me some peace and quiet?"
"Students--" Zhong Maoqing wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the noise on the Cuju field.
Gu Chaoyang took advantage of his physical strength and grabbed the ball first. Before others could catch up, he kicked the ball into the opponent's goal!
The gong sounded and the game ended.
After a narrow escape, Liang Zhou's team won.
Liang Zhou passed by Xiang Wenyuan, whistled, and glanced at him sideways.
There was sarcasm and mockery in his eyes.
Xiang Wenyuan stood there helplessly and furiously.
The Cuju game was over, and the next game was the Chicken Game. Zhu Lan and the others didn’t plan to watch it.
They will be doing rope dancing later, so they need to warm up.
Turning around, Zhu Lan suddenly bumped into someone.
Zhao Wenyuan held his head and cried out, "Ouch!"
What a narrow road the enemies meet!
"Don't you have eyes when you walk?" Zhao Wenyuan saw Zhu Lan, his eyes full of hatred.
It was all because of her that I was kicked out of the academy!
“It’s true that I don’t have eyes on my back, but how come some people have eyes on the front and they keep bumping into people?” Zhu Lan said sarcastically.
Qiao Youyou: "Lanlan, check if you have lost anything. Some people are not clean, and I am afraid they will not learn their lesson after being kicked out of the academy once!"
"You're a cheap merchant's daughter!" Zhao Wenyuan was so angry that she wanted to pounce on Qiao Youyou and pull her hair.
Qin Yuwei quickly grabbed Qiao Youyou and said, "Calm down, it's more important to eat the ice plum cheese from Yuxiang Pavilion."
Several people chose to ignore Zhao Wenyuan and turned away.
Zhao Wenyuan:?
She can't even compare to a meal?
But what did the other party say just now... Jumping the Hundred Ropes?
…
The competition venue was not far from the library.
The ropes used in this competition are kept by Xu Shejian, and each team has already selected them in advance.
Zhu Qingyan wanted to check the ropes used by his team again.
She walked to the door of Xu's room and was about to knock, but found that the door was not locked.
She had an idea and quietly pushed the door open a crack.
There was someone in the room, it was Zhao Wenyuan!
She was acting furtively, and no one knew what she was doing.
Zhu Qingyan thought about it, then tiptoed aside and waited for Zhao Wenyuan to come out of Xu Shejian's room before he slipped in.
The ropes were marked with the names of the teams.
Zhu Qingyan checked his team's rope first, and found there was no problem, so he felt relieved.
Then he picked up the one from Zhu Lan's team and reached out to touch it.
Sure enough, the rope was wet and had a faint smell.
Although no one knows what Zhao Wenyuan used to soak the rope, considering her relationship with Zhu Lan and others, it is definitely not a good thing.
However, the idiot is really an idiot. The rope was so wet that it came out just by touching it.
Zhu Qingyan shook his head speechlessly and decided to be a good person and help Zhao Wenyuan.
…
The rules of rope skipping are very simple. Six people form a group, two of them swing the rope and four of them jump.
There are three chances in total, and the one with the highest number of consecutive jumps among the three is taken as the final score of the group.
The group with the highest final score wins.
Zhu Qingyan returned to the competition venue and saw Xiang Wenyuan waving at him from afar.
She walked over, just nodded slightly to Xiang Wenyuan, and then stood and talked with Xue Mei.
"Isn't Wen Yuan here? I thought she would also sign up for the hundred-rope jump." Xue Mei asked.
Zhu Qingyan shook his head: "You remembered it wrongly. Before she returned to the academy, registration for various sports had been stopped. She couldn't participate even if she wanted to."
Xiang Wenyuan came over and said to Zhu Qingyan, "Hehe, Senior Sister Qingyan, when we win first place, let's go to Yuxiang Pavilion together!"
Then he praised the ice plum cheese he had eaten last time as being the best in the world.
Xue Mei on the side teased, "You just finished playing Cuju and now you're jumping rope with us. Aren't you tired?"
Zhu Qingyan had a smile on his face, and he had similar thoughts as Xue Mei.
Cuju is a physical activity. Don’t run out of energy later and swing the rope in the wrong rhythm, causing everyone to lose the game.
"It's okay, it's okay! Liang Zhou and his team were able to win just now, and it wasn't because I let them win, hahaha!
If I had played seriously, they would have been eliminated long ago!"
You better be.
Zhu Qingyan kept smiling.
Xu Shejian came over with six ropes as thick as thumbs in his arms, and the end of each rope was marked with the name of the team.
"Mr. Chang, are you confident?" Zhao Sicheng touched Chang Yunxiao with his shoulder.
Chang Yunxiao nodded slightly, without any extra expression on his face.
Zhao Sicheng smiled and said, “That’s just how Old Chang is.”
Although he is not very sociable, he is never vague when asked for help.
If he says it's okay, then it must be okay.
Supervisor Xu came over and handed over the rope for their team.
Zhu Lan reached out to take it, and the moment he got the rope, he felt the touch was a little strange, but he couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.
She was slightly startled, and Chang Yunxiao's voice suddenly sounded beside her.
"This rope...smells wrong." It smells like medicine.
