The two separated at the corridor exit. Xu Zhiyi walked up the stairs, while Song Chengrui turned and went to the equipment room.
There were quite a few people who needed to train these two days, and they were all queuing up waiting for the equipment room to open. He had the spare key in his hand, so he naturally became a popular choice.
However, there were still some people in the class who were not very interested in the sports meeting and continued to sit in the classroom doing their homework, as if this scene had nothing to do with them.
Xu Zhiyi returned to her seat and noticed that there were many colorful sticky notes on Xie Lin's seat. They were probably bought for this incident.
In fact, she used to think that Xie Lin was pretentious. She always dragged Song Chengrui along in everything she did. She would not express her dissatisfaction herself, but would let Gao Xingxing speak for her.
Now that I think about it, I am sometimes like this too. I don’t want to express my inner thoughts and always want others to stand up for me.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Zhiyi evaluated himself in his heart, and felt that he was a little too pretentious, so he simply slapped his face to calm himself down.
She reached out to take her homework out of her desk pocket, but her fingertips touched something warm.
She lowered her head and found that her cup on the desk was already filled with hot water.
Um?
Who put it here?
So kind to fill her bottle with hot water.
She took out the water cup, tested it carefully, and turned to ask her deskmate:
"Qin Mingyue, were you the one who got me some hot water?"
Qin Mingyue shook her head, "No, it's not me."
Now, Xu Zhiyi felt even more strange. She thought, could it be Zhang Ningxia who did it?
However, she felt something was wrong. When she went upstairs just now, Zhang Ningxia was still playing in the playground. How could it have happened so quickly?
In the past few days, Xu Zhiyi secretly stayed behind to observe the movements of her water cup, but unfortunately, she couldn't find out who did it. She simply gave up the idea and focused on studying again.
After school that day, Xu Zhiyi was called by Xu Dongxing to the office to sort out the registration forms for the sports meet and confirm the speeches for the sports meet. When she returned to the classroom, she happened to meet Song Chengrui holding her water cup and standing in front of the desk in a daze.
She was a little surprised, "Why...are you taking my water cup?"
She suddenly realized that it was Song Chengrui who got her the hot water last time.
When this idea came out, Xu Zhiyi was actually a little surprised.
Hearing Xu Zhiyi's voice, Song Chengrui hurriedly put her water cup back and pretended to be very busy arranging the books on the desk. "Oh, your water cup fell to the ground just now. I picked it up and was about to put it back for you."
Xu Zhiyi looked at his expression, feeling a little doubtful but also a little disappointed.
"oh."
Song Chengrui pretended to casually mention her matter, "Hey, why are you back? Didn't the teacher ask you to go to the office?"
Xu Zhiyi came in from the door and her eyes fell on Song Chengrui's slightly red ears. She didn't say anything else, but sat down naturally.
"The teacher asked me to come back after I finished my work." She picked up the water cup that Song Chengrui had put back in his seat and whispered to him, "What about you? Why haven't you left yet? Aren't you going to play basketball today?"
Song Chengrui paused, a pile of crooked books on the desk, "Well... I'm just about to leave."
"Thank you." Xu Zhiyi said this suddenly without looking up at him.
Song Chengrui stopped, a little stunned, and turned around, "What?"
"Hot water." Xu Zhiyi raised her head, looked at him, and said solemnly, "It was you who gave me hot water a few days ago."
There were only the two of them in the classroom, and at this moment, no one spoke.
After a while, Song Chengrui's shoulders relaxed and he sighed.
"You guessed it after all."
Song Chengrui gave an embarrassed smile, "I thought you wouldn't notice. I saw you sneaking around the window a few days ago, but I didn't move, so I thought you didn't know."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Song Chengrui turned around and sat down facing Xu Zhiyi. "How could I tell you that I was secretly getting you some hot water? That would be so weird."
Xu Zhiyi looked at him with a smile in his eyes, "Then it's not strange now?"
"Anyway, it's just weird."
After Song Chengrui finished speaking, his eyes drifted away.
Xu Zhiyi's eyes also softened, "You are quite considerate."
Song Chengrui also followed up the topic, "That is, the contemporary moral model student."
Xu Zhiyi was amused by his words and kept laughing with his head down.
"Tsk, narcissistic."
There are still three days left before the sports meet, and everyone has relatively free time during these days.
On the playground, most of the students were more concerned about the sports meet, and there were quite a few people practicing by the sandpit.
Xu Zhiyi stood on the track and started doing warm-up exercises, while Zhang Ningxia stood by with a cup of water to cheer her on.
"Hey, Zhiyi, come on, come on!"
Xu Zhiyi joked while stretching, "Ningxia, you should also sign up for a project. I've been running every day lately and have lost 7 or 8 kilograms in just half a month. It's much better than your previous diet."
Zhang Ningxia waved her hands aside, "No, no, I can't run here. I'm not cut out for it."
She turned on the stopwatch, reset it to zero, and looked at Xu Zhiyi. "Are you ready? I'm about to start."
Xu Zhiyi squatted down, pressed his fingertips firmly on the rough plastic track, and nodded, "OK!"
“3-2-1!”
After Zhang Ningxia finished speaking, Xu Zhiyi ran out like an arrow.
She followed Xu Zhiyi, and reminded him as she ran, "Breathe carefully, breathe carefully!"
Halfway through following, Xu Zhiyi had already run a lap. Zhang Ningxia walked through the middle of the playground and saw that Xu Zhiyi's pace had obviously slowed down, but the rhythm was still relatively steady, so she caught up with him again.
"Very good, Zhiyi, keep going, you can do it!"
When Xu Zhiyi heard Zhang Ningxia's voice, she felt her breathing getting heavier. She stared straight ahead, her chest felt getting hotter and hotter, and beads of sweat on her forehead had begun to flow down her temples.
"It's the last half lap! Zhiyi, come on!"
As soon as Zhang Ningxia finished speaking, Xu Zhi had already started to gather strength and sprint.
Her eyes were focused and determined, as if this was the only road leading to the end in the world.
Finally, the moment her foot stepped out of the finish line, Zhang Ningxia instantly ignited!
"Wow, a new record! Seven minutes and five seconds!"
"Zhiyi, the best time is seven minutes and five seconds!"
Xu Zhiyi supported herself on her knees and gasped for breath. She had no time to speak at this moment. All she could see in front of her were broken hair and beads of sweat. She felt as if her whole body had been drained.
“Excellent, excellent!”
Zhang Ningxia quickly handed her toilet paper and water, "You've broken the record! Wipe your sweat off! You've worked so hard!"
Hearing about the record being refreshed, Xu Zhiyi finally smiled, "It wasn't a wasted effort."
Previously, Song Chengrui predicted that she could run under 8 minutes, but now she has increased her speed by one minute. It seems that with this kind of training, she is not completely without a chance of winning the award.
Xu Zhiyi raised his head and took a sip of water. After a moment's pause, he said, "I didn't manage my time well on the last lap. I'll try to improve my time tomorrow. Maybe I can even go faster."
Zhang Ningxia was suddenly stunned. "I understand. It's just a run, you're taking it too seriously."
"Since I've already done it, I have to do it well, otherwise I'll be wasting my efforts."
After saying that, she let her hair down again, gathered it with her hands again, and tied it up neatly.
"Let's do it again tomorrow at this time." She looked at Zhang Ningxia and asked with a smile, "Is that okay?"
Zhang Ningxia looked up at the sky helplessly, "Two little puddings, or I won't agree!"
"Hey, okay!"
After saying that, Xu Zhiyi pulled Zhang Ningxia towards the supermarket and said, "Don't wait until tomorrow, let's go buy it for you now!"
"Why--"
Zhang Ningxia was suddenly pulled away and was a little surprised, "So fast, you really love running!"
"Ha ha!"
Xu Zhiyi's laughter echoed somewhere in the playground, attracting many people's attention.
All I saw were two thin figures going farther and farther away, with warm smiles on their faces.
Song Chengrui had just finished playing ball and was taking a break when he saw Xu Zhiyi's back.
He turned his head unconsciously and followed the figure for a while.
From the moment Xu Zhiyi decided to run, he had been observing her carefully. Although he didn't hold out much hope and thought she could just run into the top 8 minutes, he didn't expect that after her leg injury healed, not only did her confidence not decrease, but she became more and more courageous, and even her whole state began to change slowly.
"What are you looking at?"
Chen Hao unscrewed a bottle of water, sat next to Song Chengrui, and looked in the direction he was looking.
"Nothing. Just a little thirsty."
Song Chengrui stood up and said, "I'm going to buy some water."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Chen Haogang frowned and glanced at the stool next to him, where there was an unopened bottle of purified water.
"There's water here!"
Chen Hao shouted three times, but Song Chengrui had already walked away. He was so angry that he raised his head and drank a bottle of water. "Is your hearing so bad?"
In the supermarket, Song Chengrui indeed "accidentally met" Xu Zhiyi and the others.
At this moment, Xu Zhiyi was picking out the best in front of the freezer. "Do you only want the little pudding? I see we have other options. Do you want the cute one?"
Zhang Ningxia shook her head. "No, no, I want the small pudding, but you can't eat it."
"Okay." Xu Zhiyi just turned around and suddenly found Song Chengrui coming in. She was a little surprised.
"Hey, Song Chengrui, are you here to buy something too?"
Song Chengrui's eyes swept across the ice cream in her hand and he hummed softly.
"Did you just finish running?"
Xu Zhiyi subconsciously pushed her messy hair to the sides and nodded, "Yeah."
Zhang Ningxia heard the sound and rushed over. "This time, Zhiyi broke the record, running time is seven minutes and five seconds!"
"Isn't it amazing?"
Song Chengrui's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible surprise, and he nodded, "That's pretty impressive!"
Xu Zhiyi felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Song Chengrui's praise. After thinking carefully, he added, "I was a little anxious during my last lap and didn't perform well. Maybe I can do better next time."
“Great every time!”
Song Chengrui's words stunned Xu Zhiyi on the spot.
"Um?"
Song Chengrui felt a little embarrassed, so he simply turned his face away and changed the subject.
"I'll go get a bottle of water, you guys chat first."
Xu Zhiyi saw that his movements were a little hasty, and understood what was going on, but did not break the awkward atmosphere.
Finally, when paying the bill, Xu Zhiyi saw Song Chengrui deliberately walk to her side and remind Zhang Ningxia, but his eyes were looking at Xu Zhiyi.
"It's not good for girls to eat too much ice, especially after strenuous exercise. Try to eat less."
Zhang Ningxia stopped eating half of the ice cream.
"I'm not running, so I should be fine, right?"
After paying the bill, Song Chengrui left with the water.
Zhang Ningxia continued eating her ice cream. "Is he talking to me or you? I didn't even run. Should it be okay to eat a little?"
Xu Zhiyi lowered his head and smiled, "I'm just kindly reminding you to eat less, I didn't say you can't eat."
After the two walked out of the supermarket, Zhang Ningxia suddenly came to his senses.
"Hey, isn't that right?"
"Why do I feel like what you just said doesn't sound like it was said to me?"
"Zhiyi, was Song Chengrui talking to you just now?"
Xu Zhiyi didn't respond, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
