34. One-on-one warm-up instruction
"Qiqi, what happened to your leg?"
The next day in PE class, just before the 50-meter sprint test was about to begin, Yu Sheng looked at Ke Qi's awkward legs and asked her a question.
Ke Qi looked a little awkward. "I accidentally bumped into the table yesterday."
"I see~"
Yu Sheng, being quite naive, didn't think much of it. "Can you still run? You look like you've been in a pretty bad collision."
Ke Qi was embarrassed.
Of course it can run.
Yes, it must have some impact, after all, it endured such a long and intense friction.
"Yes, you can."
To avoid making her overthink, she urged, "Let's go, get ready, it'll be our turn soon."
In universities, physical fitness tests are usually completed within a single physical education class period.
There are many items to be tested, but each class is only two hours long, so the time will be tight and the pace will be very fast.
Ke Qi had just finished the 50-meter test when she immediately moved on to the standing long jump, sit-and-reach, sit-ups, and so on.
In the last half hour, after all the tests were completed, only the 800-meter race remained.
Once you get here, it's basically a nightmare for many girls.
"Help! I really don't want to run away!" Yu Sheng wailed.
While stretching her legs to warm up, Chen Youting said, "Don't be afraid, it only happens once a year, so it's better to die sooner rather than later."
After saying that, she looked around for the PE teacher. "By the way, why hasn't the teacher started yet? What's he doing?"
Just as I was wondering what was going on, I saw that, wow, he was actually chatting happily with someone not far away.
Next, look at the person he was chatting with.
"Wow, isn't that Gu the Demon King from the school next door?"
A student who also witnessed the scene exclaimed in surprise.
"Yeah, what's he doing at our school again?"
"What else could it be but to see my girlfriend, of course?"
As everyone talked, they all looked at Ke Qi, who was stretching her legs to warm up, with a mischievous grin.
Ke Qi pursed her lips slightly, pretending not to hear, without raising her head or looking at the young man who was talking to the PE teacher.
After all, he really went too far yesterday.
She always ranked last in physical fitness tests.
That's so mean!
So she decided to ignore him for the next few days.
"Dear students!"
At this moment, the PE teacher had finished his conversation with Gu Zhao and walked over with a smile, saying:
"I need to test the students from other classes who needed to retake the test last time, so to save time, your senior Gu Zhao will help you with the next 800 meters."
"By the way, your senior Gu was worried that you might faint after the run, so he specially prepared some glucose for you. Remember to drink one after you finish running."
Upon hearing this, the whole class erupted in uproar.
"Wow, Senior Gu is so thoughtful!"
"Why are they so considerate to our class? It's so hard to guess!"
"Let's say together, thank you, Keqi!"
Hahahaha!
Everyone was laughing and joking.
Gu Zhao remained unfazed, took the handheld stopwatch and roster from the PE teacher, and addressed the group:
"Everyone get ready. The test will officially begin in three minutes. Boys, run first."
After speaking, he looked at the girl not far away.
At this moment, her entire head was almost pressed against her thighs, her forehead pressed tightly against the surface of her thigh skin, like a little turtle hiding in its shell, completely ignoring this side.
Yes, Keqi was faking her death the whole time.
"I don't want to run anymore" means...
Her expression was already ugly and ferocious when she ran the 800 meters, and Gu Zhao still had to come and measure it for her personally. What an annoying person!
As I was lost in thought, a familiar, deep voice suddenly rang out from behind me: "When warming up, don't lower your head and body so much to avoid injuring your ligaments."
Ke Qi froze, turned her head to look, but the next second, the boy's large, well-defined hand grabbed her shoulder.
"Relax, elevate your body a little."
Ke Qi's heart raced, and she involuntarily tilted her head back, her gaze sweeping over the young man's smooth and handsome jawline before meeting his dark eyes.
At that moment, a commotion erupted all around again.
"Oh my god, this is dog abuse!"
"You even have your boyfriend as your coach during your pre-run warm-up! Keqi, you're getting such great treatment!"
Ke Qi's face immediately turned red. She put down the leg she was stretching and reached out to push him.
"I can do it myself."
Gu Zhao looked at her flushed cheeks and evasive gaze, smiled slightly, and stopped teasing her.
After a moment, he looked at the time on his watch and said, "Three minutes should be enough."
"Boys, assemble, get ready to start running."
Upon hearing this, the crowd, who had been enjoying the gossip just moments before, all frowned and reluctantly walked over.
"Senior, since the teacher isn't here, could you make our scores look better when you're tallying them up later?"
Some students smiled and tried to negotiate with him.
Gu Zhao responded with her standard smile: "Sorry, no, that's not possible."
After saying that, he clapped his hands and urged, "Hurry up and get into position, let's begin!"
Seeing his bluntness, one boy complained, "I'm done with you, senior! You're my biggest basketball idol, I'm declaring I'm unfollowing you for a day!"
The girls watching the scene burst into laughter.
"You made Senior Gu go easy on you? Did you eat too many hamburgers last night, Xu Yang?!"
"Exactly, wake up! He's the ruthless and merciless devil from the neighboring A-body group, much more heartless than our teacher. You should beg Ke Qi instead of him!"
Xu Yang suddenly realized: "Oh right!"
"Damn it, I miscalculated!"
He then turned to look at Ke Qi and said, "Ke Qi, tell your boyfriend to let go, waaaaah~"
Keqi: ...
Amidst playful banter and teasing, the boys' 1000-meter race officially began.
Gu Zhao stood there, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, tall and elegant, lazily crossing his arms and staring into the distance. He seemed very easygoing, but his aura was exceptionally strong, making people dare not cheat or slack off under his nose.
In this sequence, the boys quickly finished their run, and it was the girls' turn.
Throughout the entire process, let alone going easy on them, Gu Zhao only needed to glance at them to make all the boys behave like little quails, incredibly obedient.
"Is this the suppressive power of the strong?" Chen Youting exclaimed.
Ke Qi silently agreed.
They were all a group of boys of similar age, and logically, being young and full of vigor, none of them would give in to the others.
But some people are born to be leaders and controllers, not to mention that he has achieved multiple national-level accomplishments in sports.
Girls admire him, and naturally, many boys do too.
So, under his watchful gaze, Ke Qi stood on the starting line.
At this moment, my pre-run anxiety kicked in uncontrollably again.
First, my heart rate increased and my breathing quickened, followed by numbness in my hands and feet.
The fear of the 800 meters seems to have been ingrained in my very bones.
"Ke Qi".
Just as she was feeling nervous, Gu Zhao looked at her steadily, his beautiful peach blossom eyes smiling: "Don't be nervous, you can do it."
Ke Qi blinked.
At that moment, with his encouraging gaze, the tension in her heart suddenly dissipated a lot.
"Of course I can."
She huffed arrogantly and looked away from him.
