When Midsummer arrived at the classroom the next morning, the bookcases had already been moved to the middle.

Although Zhang Shu had not arrived yet, she could not think of anyone else who would move her things.

After spending a long time together, she was able to guess what this moody man was thinking. He seemed cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Shengxia took out a chocolate from her schoolbag and stuffed it into his desk to express her gratitude.

There are no lollipops or candies, so just make do with what you have.

At the class meeting in the afternoon, Hou Junqi announced the list of events for the fun sports meeting.

The hard requirement is that everyone participates, except those who do not meet the physical conditions. So everyone has a project.

Shengxia saw herself being arranged in a circle.

She has nine teammates, including Zhang Shu. The ten names are listed in pairs, and her name and Zhang Shu's name are side by side.

What is this?

Other projects include "Ten People and Eleven Legs", "Big Windmill", "Rolling Forward", "Magnificent"...

Everyone had participated before, so there was no need to explain the rules. Only Shengxia looked confused.

Wang Wei said: "If you need to make adjustments, tell Hou Junqi. However, if there is no necessary reason, just follow the arrangement as much as possible. If everyone keeps changing positions, work won't be able to proceed. We need to have a sense of teamwork. Fun sports meet is all about having fun, relaxing, and then going all out for the monthly exam."

Hou Junqi nodded his head at the side and said, "Yes, I have been arranging this list for several days. I have taken everyone's physical conditions and classmates' relationships into consideration. It is very fair and just. So, don't say anything if you disagree."

"Be more civilized." Wang Wei glanced at him.

Hou Junqi nodded and bowed: "Okay."

Offstage, Xin Xiaohe said to Yang Linyu: "Oh, it's fair and just."

Yang Linyu didn't react, "Ah, isn't this good?"

"You are so stupid," Xin Xiaohe said angrily, "You actually tied Sheng Xia and Zhang Shu together. How despicable."

Yang Linyu took another look at the list and said, "What a show."

Xin Xiaohe looked across the classroom at the bewildered Sheng Xia, "Poor kid, you must not understand."

After Hou Junqi came down, Shengxia tapped his arm and said, "Brother Hou, do you have any project rules?"

Hearing the greeting, Zhang Shu also raised his head and stared at Hou Junqi.

Hou Junqi was as if he was being stabbed in the side. He frowned for a long time and said, "I just need to explain it to you."

"It's a relay race where two people hold hula hoops and run. There are five groups in total."

Shengxia imagined the scene in her mind, "How can I run with a hula hoop?"

"Two people get into a hula hoop and run with it. The hoop cannot touch any part of the body other than the hands, cannot go above anyone's head, and cannot fall to the ground."

Shengxia: "It's hard to run like this, right?"

Two people are in a circle, keeping the same rhythm, holding the hula hoop with their hands and not swinging it, and they also have to pursue speed. This...

Hou Junqi said: "Can we still call it a fun sports meeting? A fun sports meeting requires everyone to work together sincerely."

Shengxia thought about it and asked, "I have never participated in one before and I am afraid it will affect my class performance. Is there any relatively simple one?"

"Grades are not important. No one cares about that. Just have fun," Hou Junqi said patiently. "Other things are more difficult. How about you listen to them?"

"Um."

"Ten people and eleven legs means ten people running with their legs tied together; Big Windmill means ten people running with long poles; Rolling Forward means rolling inflatable zorb balls, also in teams of two, with five teams taking turns. Don't think this is easy, it's different from playing in the park. The football field will be full of zorb balls, and they will bump into each other like bumper cars. You have to be able to withstand dizziness; Beautiful is a variation of hurdle running, but the hurdles are replaced with diamond tires, also a relay."

After Hou Junqi finished his introduction, he glanced at Zhang Shu who was about to laugh, then stared at Sheng Xia who was frightened, "Which one do you choose? I'll arrange it for you."

The people around were all confused: I agreed not to complain now.

Shengxia was confused. She had no sports that she was good at, let alone interesting events. These all sounded difficult. She was destined to be the one who held back.

But……

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Zhang Shu, who was acting as if it had nothing to do with her.

But it feels awkward to run with him.

Seeing that she was silent, Hou Junqi blinked and said, "Did my brother pick the best one for you? One that doesn't require drilling or rolling, how great!"

Shengxia pursed her lips, neither nodding nor shaking her head, unable to say anything to refute.

Hou Junqi said: "This is really the most suitable. 'Beautiful' needs skinny people, and 'Rolling Forward' cannot be too fat, so there are only a few skinny people left for 'Interlocking Rings', and it is difficult for me to line up people!"

Now that things have come to this, it would be wrong to say anything more, Shengxia nodded.

A classmate next to him said, "Brother Hou, what about fairness and justice? Why are you playing tricks on me?"

"Get lost!" Hou Junqi said in disapproval, "You can't open a small stove for the goddess? If you have the ability, you can be a goddess holding a sign."

The male student was speechless and everyone laughed.

That makes sense. If you want to hold a party in the middle of summer, you certainly can't just sit there and do nothing.

She is the face of their class.

Someone whispered, "You may have forgotten that you sent Zhou Xuanxuan to move forward last year..."

When Hou Junqi heard this, he shrugged and spread his hands, with an expression that said: What can you do to me?

Zhang Shu called Hou Junqi, "Do you want to go to the canteen?"

Hou Junqi looked at the time. "Now? It's almost time for dinner."

Zhang Shu said, "Please."

"Fuck? What!" Hou Junqi jumped up, "You're treating me? Really? What good have I done today? Let's go."

The two of them went out through the back door and around the small corridor. When they passed by Shengxia's window, she heard Hou Junqi ask, "Hey, Ah Shu, the guy who brought you snacks before doesn't bring you snacks anymore?"

Zhang Shu smiled and said, "It's changed to chocolate."

"Tsk tsk," Hou Junqi patted Zhang Shu on the shoulder, "You're so persistent."

midsummer:……

In the next two days, Shengxia discovered that "Interlocking Rings" is indeed a good project. It does not require much practice, unlike "Ten People Eleven Legs" and "Big Windmill" which require ten people to practice together.

Xin Xiaohe is the leader of the "Big Windmill" team. As soon as school is over in the afternoon, she carries a flexible pole and calls on her teammates to go practice.

Lu Youze was in the "Beautiful" group. After the first day of practice, they went home together in the evening. Shengxia found that his elbows were bruised. Others didn't seem to have as serious injuries as him. Lu Youze said self-deprecatingly: "I don't have sports cells. I didn't play those when I was a child."

"Neither do I." Shengxia could only comfort herself in this way.

"Have you practiced that project with Zhang Shu?"

"No."

Lu Youze said: "Last year I did 'One Ring After Another'. It sounds simple but it was actually quite difficult, and..."

In the summer, slow down and listen carefully.

"There might be some physical contact." Lu Youze glanced at her.

Shengxia took this into consideration. The body could not touch the hula hoop, so the two of them would inevitably be close to each other. But thinking that "10 people and 11 feet" still requires holding the waist on both sides, "rolling forward" might roll onto teammates, so "interlocking" is still good.

"Sports is just sports." Shengxia said.

Lu Youze was stunned and nodded in the dark.

It sounded nice, but when Zhang Shu found her with a hula hoop during physical education class, she was still so nervous that her palms were sweating.

Zhang Shu showed no expression, and said nonchalantly, "Shengxia, practice for a while."

"Oh." She threw the basketball and followed him to the football field.

To prevent falling, the 'interlocking' exercise was carried out on a green and shaded field.

When Shengxia and Zhang Shu arrived, the other groups of "interlocking" teammates in the class were all there. When they arrived, everyone was gathered. One of the groups Shengxia was more familiar with was Zhou Xuanxuan and Qi Xiulei.

Team leader Qi Xiulei had already arranged the order: Shengxia and Zhang Shu were in the fourth leg, and Zhou Xuanxuan and himself were in the last sprint.

"Each group should practice on their own first, and then practice taking over the baton when the class is almost over," said Qi Xiulei.

Zhang Shu asked with a questioning look: "Where are we going to practice?"

Shengxia looked around and said, "The edge, right?"

Zhang Shu raised his brows slightly and nodded his chin, "Let's go!" Then he put the hula hoop over her head. Shengxia felt the hula hoop fall on her waist, and then a force pulled her forward.

"What are you doing!"

He was pulling the hula hoop in front of her, and the hula hoop was circling around her, so she could only follow it.

This person! What kind of bad taste does he have!

Zhang Shu turned around and smiled, and when he saw her unhappy expression, he just walked backwards, holding the hula hoop with both hands and smiling playfully.

Shengxia would never let anyone pull her like that, like a dog! She quickened her pace, her waist left the hula hoop, and the hula hoop almost fell off. Zhang Shu pulled her with his arm and walked faster, so the hula hoop stuck to her waist again. She quickened her pace again, and he walked even faster.

The cycle continues.

The entire football field was filled with Zhang Shu's laughter of triumph over his evil ways.

The other groups on the field just watched these two people pulling each other and chasing each other, their minds were filled with confusion.

Qi Xiulei was speechless: "When they were sitting at the same table, weren't they tired of it? Why are they coming here to slaughter dogs?"

His partner Zhou Xuanxuan glanced at him and said, "What are you talking about? Zhang Shu just loves to play tricks on people. Hurry up and practice!"

Qi Xiulei touched his nose and chose to shut up.

Shengxia was dragged to the edge of the football field by Zhang Shu like he was walking the dog. Before she could utter a word of complaint, he had already crawled in from underneath.

The sudden approach caught Shengxia off guard. She took a step back unconsciously, but was trapped and could not retreat much. His chest was just within reach, and his breath was spraying on her head. Shengxia just stood there in a daze.

The top of her head was level with his chin, and her eyes were looking straight at his throat...

His Adam's apple rolled, and the sharp corners scraped across the thin skin like a sharp weapon, and it seemed that it would break through the skin in the next second. The onlookers felt terrified.

Shengxia's eyes were fixed and his heart was beating like a drum.

What on earth is in his throat? It's so big...

"I have a map with me?" a nonchalant voice came from above. "Look ahead."

Shengxia came back to her senses, leaned back slightly, and then slowly raised her head. Their eyes met. Zhang Shu tilted his head slightly and lowered his gaze, "Very handsome?"

Shengxia glared at him, turned her head away, and at the same time turned around and stood in front of him, half a body length away.

Zhang Shu laughed.

He kind of understood why Hou Junqi was so excited that day; when she glared at people, it was really strange and interesting.

It's really hard to move around in a circle, so Hou Junqi's suggestion of looking for thin people makes sense.

Shengxia and Zhang Shu are both thin, so there is still enough space.

But, "How do I run?" Shengxia murmured.

She turned her head to look at other groups. Basically, there were girls in front and boys behind. The girls hardly touched the hula hoops, and the boys had to hold them with both hands.

In order to maintain balance, the half circle of space behind the boy's body is empty, so that the front is very crowded.

"We stood back to back." Zhang Shu said.

Shengxia turned around: "Hmm?"

"Turn around, each holding the circle in front of you. There's no rule that you have to face forward," Zhang Shu stepped back to give her some space, "Let's run sideways."

Shengxia understood that in this way, neither of them would interfere with each other at all and there would be almost no physical contact. As long as the steps and rhythm were coordinated, it would be very fast.

Except... the running posture is a bit unsightly.

She suddenly smiled and said, "What a good idea!"

The afternoon sun was bright and hot, shining on the girl's smiling face and catching Zhang Shu's eyes. He coughed and turned his head away, "Do you understand?" He asked deliberately.

Shengxia nodded: "I understand."

This is indeed much faster. Seeing this, other groups followed suit. In less than half a class, everyone had practiced almost everything. So they practiced relays again.

Relay is very simple, just take off the hula hoop and pass it to the next group.

Throughout the class, there was no "physical contact" as Lu Youze said, all thanks to Zhang Shu's good method. Back in the classroom, Xin Xiaohe asked about their practice, and Shengxia told her everything.

Xin Xiaohe was a little surprised: "Zhang Shu is such a gentleman?"

A gentleman, I think that's the right way to describe him.

Most boys don't mind physical contact and even enjoy it. After all, some bumps and bruises are inevitable in sports competitions.

He took a different approach and was actively avoiding her. Maybe it was because he had a girl he liked, so he avoided other girls.

Although sometimes what he said to her was a little...

Shengxia didn't know how to comment, because when she looked into it carefully, there was nothing wrong. It was probably just that she was too sensitive and had a biased view.

Speaking objectively, his approach in this matter is worthy of recognition.

Shengxia nodded slightly.

"It doesn't look like it..." Xin Xiaohe muttered, "Could it be that he is just a talker?"

Shengxia didn’t understand: “Huh?”

"Enjoy the sports meet! Hehehehe."
