Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Cheer me up.
The relay is in the afternoon. Ji Maili has no other events in the morning, and Chen Lu still has a hurdle race.
Ji Maili was sitting on the rest platform basking in the sun. Groups of girls passed by one after another, all of them glancing at him blatantly yet a little furtively.
Ever since the incident at home, Ji Maili has become somewhat sensitive to this kind of scrutiny. He frowned fiercely and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Sorry, he has a bad temper." Shen Lu came up from behind and put Coke on Ji Maili's head. "Why are you so fierce?"
Ji Maili muttered, "I don't know what they're coming here to see."
Chen Lu was wearing a black tracksuit and no glasses. He was usually cold, but he was the vice president of the student union, and his authority was so great that no one dared to approach him. But today, Chen Lu was much more amiable and looked like a true school idol, especially in front of Ji Maili.
Chen Lu sat next to Ji Maili, "They have no ill intentions."
Ji Maili: "You are not them, how do you know they have no ill intentions?"
Shen Lu opened the Coke and handed it to him, "Have you joined the sophomore group?"
Ji Maili wasn't interested: "I didn't even join the class group."
Shen Lu took out his phone and pressed a few buttons, "Give me the phone."
Ji Maili gave him the phone.
Chen Lu opened Ji Maili's WeChat and accepted the group invitation he sent. "See for yourself."
The high school group was very lively, with photos popping up one after another. Nine out of ten photos were of Ji Maili, and one was a photo of Ji Maili and Chen Lu. Ji Maili was furious, "They took a secret photo of me?"
Chen Lu held him down speechlessly: "Read the words."
Class Three Xixi: Ji Maili is still very handsome.
Guan Ya from Class 7: I used to think he was handsome, but he had a bad temper.
Class 10 Hui Jie: Are you kidding? Is Ji Maili handsome? He is quite handsome, okay? He is the class flower of our class. How many people in the whole school can be more handsome than him?
Zhang Na from Class 1: Class 1 refuses to accept this, I will lead our class to kill the God of Death.
Class 8 Xiaoxiao: Is it necessary to make such a cruel comparison? What if President Shen sees him voluntarily giving up his position as if he were letting the competition go?
Class 1 Shenlu: Brother Mai is the most handsome.
"...Fuck!" Ji Maili suddenly looked at Chen Lu, "Are you sick?"
Shen Lu smiled and said, "State the facts."
Ji Maili grabbed his phone to prevent him from posting any more random messages and continued to check the group chat. After a while, a photo of the two of them sitting there was posted to the group chat.
Ji Maili looked up and looked around, "Where did they take this photo?"
Shen Lu supported himself on the steps behind him, "Six o'clock."
Ji Maili looked in the direction he said, and the girls who were taking pictures quickly put down their phones, turned their heads away and pretended to look elsewhere.
Ji Maili grabbed his coat and threw it at Shen Lu’s face, “You’re so ostentatious!”
Chen Lu was languid from the sun. He took off the clothes that were thrown at his face and looked at Ji Maili, "Aren't you the one showing off?"
Ji Maili: "What the hell does it have to do with me?"
Shen Lu said, "You took first place in the 400-meter race."
When talking about this, Ji Maili looked down on him, "On my fifteenth birthday, you fooled me by running a sub-400m race."
"More than that," Shen Lu looked at him and said, "You forgot, I also said that if you win, I will take you for a ride during the holiday."
Ji Maili was coaxed into giving it a go. "Where are we going for a ride?"
A sports committee member ran over and called out to Shen Lu, "It's time to sign in for the hurdle race. Shen Lu, hurry over."
"Okay, I'll be right there." Chen Lu stood up and hooked Ji Maili's hair with his fingertips. "Two days and one night of camping, and we'll go on the highway on a motorcycle."
Ji Maili's eyes widened. "Fuck, isn't that cool?"
Shen Lu smiled and said, "Well, I'll take you to buy a helmet after the basketball game tomorrow."
Ji Maili stood up and said, "I want the same one as yours."
"Okay." Shen Lu patted his pants, "I'll go sign in, come and cheer me on."
Ji Maili was so excited that he didn't care if anyone was watching. He stamped his feet and saluted Chen Lu, "Yes, sir!"
No one from Class 10 signed up for the hurdles race, so Zhou Luyang was pushed up by Liang Xiaohui to fill the number.
Before going on stage, Liang Xiaohui was still teaching Zhou Luyang, "It's okay if you can't jump over it, you can also push the hurdle."
Zhou Luyang was speechless. "That's what girls do. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me to push the fence?"
Liang Xiaohui patted his shoulder and said, "If you feel embarrassed, just move your legs. Don't be like a duck's claw that can't be opened."
Zhou Luyang: "...I really thought you were here to encourage me."
Zhou Luyang looked at Ji Maili with a bitter face, "Brother Mai, you are here to cheer me up, right?"
Ji Maili shook his head, "No."
Zhou Luyang said in despair, "Human nature is so cold," and turned away.
There are more people watching the hurdles than the high jump. In previous years, the high jump was popular, while few people watched the hurdles.
Liang Xiaohui stood beside Ji Maili and deliberately said, "We all came to see President Shen. President Shen is particularly handsome today. What do you think?"
Ji Maili looked at her in confusion, "You ask me?"
Liang Xiaohui crossed her arms and smiled, "Aren't you here to see him too?"
Ji Maili did come to see Chen Lu, but... he looked at Liang Xiaohui and felt that Liang Xiaohui's smile was inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. He said against his will, "I'm not."
Liang Xiaohui nodded, "Oh, you're not here to see Shen Lu, nor to cheer for Zhou Luyang, so you're here to see Chen Yu?"
Ji Maili: “…”
The people in Class 1 were standing across the track. Tao Dacheng ran over and pulled Ji Maili over. "Come on, come on, let's go to our class and cheer for Chen Lu together."
Ji Maili refused to go, "I'm from Class 10."
Tao Dacheng glanced at Zhou Luyang on the track and said, "This guy from your class is obviously a hurdler. Don't waste your voice. Go cheer for our class's Chen Lu."
Zhou Luyang, who was getting ready on the runway, stamped his feet and shouted, "I heard you, you insulted me!"
Liang Xiaohui called out to the whole class, "Let's go and cheer for Class 1."
Ji Maili looked at Liang Xiaohui in disbelief, "What about Zhou Luyang?"
Liang Xiaohui didn't care about the friendship between classmates at all. "He was just making up the numbers, he couldn't get first place. Let's go and cheer for your God Slayer. Don't be embarrassed."
Ji Maili was inexplicably pushed to Class 1, "What should I be embarrassed about?"
Seeing that he did not deny that Shen Lu was his family, Liang Xiaohui's smile became more dangerous, "Then who knows."
Tao Dacheng called out to Shen Lu and pointed at Ji Maili, "I brought the person to our class for you. It would be unreasonable if you don't win."
Shen Lu smiled and pointed to the finish line.
Tao Dacheng understood immediately, "Let's go, Master Ji, the finish line is waiting for you."
Ji Maili refused: "How silly! I won't go."
Tao Dacheng said, "If you don't go, he can't win. Haven't you seen a donkey pulling a mill always hanging a carrot in front of it? You are just like that carrot now."
Ji Maili glared at him, "You are the donkey."
Ji Maili walked slowly towards the finish line to express his reluctance. Halfway through, a gunshot rang out. Ji Maili turned around and saw Chen Lu jumping towards him step by step.
Ji Maili had never noticed that Shen Lu's legs were so long. All he could see were legs.
Chen Lu glanced at Ji Maili when he passed by him.
Ji Maili smiled and moved his lips, "Come on."
Shen Lu suddenly slowed down. Seeing that Chen Yu was about to pass him, Ji Maili couldn't help but scream "Fuck you!" and ran forward while shouting, "Shen Lu, you're eating shit! Hurry up!"
Shen Lu: "Come on for me."
Ji Maili wanted to kick him and break his legs, "Nimad, come on, you fucking cheer for me!"
The head teacher of Class 1 was worried when he saw Chen Lu suddenly slow down, and then he saw his own little Baicai asking the troublemaker in Class 10 to cheer him on.
Chandali: “???”
Didn’t you say you’d stay away from him?
