"Starting today, from 4:30 to 5:30 in the afternoon, it is club activity time." During the afternoon self-study, the class teacher leaned on the desk and said, "Those who have no activities that day can continue to study in the classroom. The monthly exam will start from the afternoon of October 8th. There are four days in total. The sports meeting will be held from October 14th to October 16th, and the preliminary competition of the autumn league will be held on October 15th. Everyone is actively signing up to participate in the sports meeting. I will give the registration form to the sports committee member later."
"We have another exam." Hong Xiqi made an exaggerated gesture of wiping her neck, sticking out her tongue and falling down on the table.
Tao You picked her pen hard and was worried about the monthly exam. She felt that she had done poorly in studying and didn't know how she would do in the exam.
"This week, I will take a class period to help you review the key points." The head teacher smiled broadly, ignoring the pain of the students below.
"The exam and the sports meeting are only two days apart, so the results shouldn't be released." A classmate said, "Don't release the results during the sports meeting."
"Let's have a good sports day!"
“It’s hard not to get results!”
The class was in a state of excitement again.
The head teacher slammed the table twice, waited for the sound to subside, and then raised his voice and said, "I don't know about this. Each teacher marks papers at a different speed, but I will wait until the sports meeting is over before handing out the math papers."
Among the students below, some were cheering, while others were worried.
No matter when this paper is handed out, this sports meeting will not be easy. Tao You held her chin and looked out the window, thinking in ecstasy, her thoughts gradually drifting away.
"Hey." Song Yimian tapped the back of Tao You's head with a pen, "What are you thinking about?"
Tao You came back to his senses, sorted out the textbooks on the table, aligned them, and replied to Song Yimian: "Nothing, did you sign up for the sports meet?"
Hong Xiqi and Gu Yi also turned around and joined the discussion with great interest.
"Xiao Youyou, are you planning to participate?" Hong Xiqi asked Tao You curiously.
Song Yimian leaned on the chair with her legs spread and turned to look at Tao You, waiting for her answer.
The sun at the end of September was less wild than summer, hanging in the light blue sky. The sunlight jumped across the wood grain of the desk and climbed onto Tao You's arms.
"I shouldn't participate." Tao You thought for a while, followed the ray of sunshine with his eyes, and said, "I'm not good at sports."
Hong Xiqi thought to herself and said, "I want to pay eight hundred or one thousand five hundred."
"You? Okay?" Gu Yi looked suspiciously at Hong Xiqi's seemingly malnourished figure.
Hong Xiqi raised her arms to show off her muscles that were invisible to the naked eye: "What, look at my muscles, I didn't eat all those delicious foods for free!"
"No, Qiqi, these few weeks of morning jogging, you..." Tao You didn't finish her words, but the four of them knew what she meant.
After running in the morning for more than half a month, excluding the week during her menstrual period, Hong Xiqi also took time off for the rest of the time. There were only a handful of days when she actually went running, and she still ran one-third and walked two-thirds each time. It was really It's hard to believe what she said.
"Ahem." Hong Xiqi cleared her throat, staring at the table, picking her fingertips, "That's not true. I am now a member of the tennis club. I am not good at sports. Is it fair to say that? The sports meeting is just the beginning, and the morning run will follow. , I'm sure I won't be absent this time. If I can't do it, let me gain twenty pounds." Hong Xiqi put down her harsh words.
"So cruel!" Tao You stopped her, "Don't. If it doesn't come true then, don't be so full of words, really."
Hong Xiqi couldn't listen to anything at the moment. She was full of confidence in herself and wanted to prove it to them in the next second: "I don't care, who is the sports committee member?" She had sworn in front of them for so long, but she didn't even know who the sports committee member was. Still unaware, Tao You laughed dumbly at Hong Xiqi.
Gu Yi patted Hong Xiqi on the shoulder, pursed his lips and pointed at himself.
"You?" Hong Xiqi didn't know when Gu Yi assumed this position.
Gu Yi nodded and said proudly: "The sports committee member appointed by Old Tan."
"Then when you get the registration form later, hurry up and sign up for 800 for me." Hong Xiqi made up his mind.
Gu Yi didn't know whether he should agree to her request or not, so he said cautiously: "Why don't you think about it more carefully, or give it a try tomorrow morning?"
Hong Xiqi waved her hand confidently and said, "No, just wait and see."
"Why don't you sign up?" Song Yimian asked Tao You.
Tao You rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Why should I sign up? If you don't want to sign up, just don't sign up." She felt that Song Yimian's question was very unnecessary. She rarely moved, let alone any sports meeting. "Are you signing up?"
Before Song Yimian could answer, Gu Yi jumped in and said, "Brother Mian, of course I have to repay you. It would be a big loss if he doesn't repay you. Let's get eight hundred first, then four hundred, and finally three thousand. It's perfect." !”
Tao You was dumbfounded and looked at Song Yimian: "Can you bear this much?" She suspected that Gu Yi was bragging, and was afraid that Song Yimian would not be able to step down by then and would really apply for so many projects.
"This is all operating normally." Gu Yi pointed at Song Yimian and said, "Brother Mian has such physical fitness, it wouldn't be a waste if he didn't sign up for a few more projects. I'm making the best use of everything. After he signs up, I The workload is directly cut in half.”
"There is still a tennis match." If it were normal times, Tao You would never say anything. Song Yimian's physical fitness is enough to support him in completing these projects, but the league is a very serious matter, and he represents the school, " It's enough to run 800, and save your energy for the competition. What if you get injured then, just in case."
Song Yimian grinned and said, "You care about me so much?" He reached out to touch her head.
Tao You glanced at him and smiled disdainfully: "As the eldest brother, of course I have to care about my younger brother." She blocked Song Yimian's hand and narrowed her eyes, "What do you think? Oh, you can't be... .Um?"
Tao You did not finish his words, leaving room for daydreams. Hong Xiqi and Gu Yi turned their gazes to Song Yimian together, their eyes revealing the desire for gossip, looking forward to his answer.
Song Yimian saw that something was wrong with their expressions and thought of something. He was not as furious as he imagined, and said unusually calmly: "Get out."
"Tch. Don't be so sentimental," Tao You said while playing with his pen, "I'm afraid you'll fall or lose strength halfway through the ball, which will embarrass the school. Since you are so confident, Gu Yi, I'll give you everything you can. He reported it."
"Okay." Gu Yi agreed without hesitation. Half of the task was completed in one go, which was much easier.
"Brother Mian?" He asked Song Yimian worriedly after agreeing.
Song Yimian gritted his teeth, not wanting to be looked down upon by Tao You, and said to Gu Yi, "Report it!"
After receiving Song Yimian's final challenge, Gu Yi was happy, clapped his hands, and said with a grin: "Okay, your words are enough!"
It is strange to say that Tao You and Song Yimian quarrel to varying degrees every day, but they can still be roommates without any harm.
It was the penultimate class in the afternoon, and the class was not even halfway through. The students in the class were obviously absent-minded, and they were discussing club activities for a while. The teacher understood their excitement and did not deliberately delay the class. As soon as the bell rang, he packed up his textbooks and walked out of the classroom amidst the noise.
"Xiaoyou, go back to the dormitory and change clothes." Hong Xiqi was so excited that she even stopped collecting the books and pulled Tao You away.
Tao You pulled his arm out of her hand, expressed confusion about her behavior, and asked with a smile: "What clothes do you want to change? Isn't it a club activity later?"
"Yes, why don't you change into sportswear and go over?" Hong Xiqi took Tao You's hand again and said, "I bought a few new sets of tennis clothes and tennis shoes during the weekend."
Tao You didn't expect that she was so well prepared. She lowered her head and looked at the large school uniform and the sneakers that she had worn for a long time, and said, "I can just wear this. The school uniform is just a disguised sportswear. I need to wash it more after changing." Put on some clothes, please, I won't change." She shook her head and refused.
"Then you accompany me to change." Hong Xiqi said coquettishly to Tao You.
Tao You was really lazy at the moment. The sun was still shining brightly in the sky. Then he thought about the distance between the teaching building and the dormitory, as well as the distance from the dormitory to the tennis court. After two trips, he hadn't started playing tennis yet. Break a sweat first. She stayed in her seat and didn't want to move.
"Qiqi, I..." I don't want to go. Tao You looked at Hong Xiqi's smart eyes, the words of rejection were stuck in his throat, and he was tangled in his heart, fearing that Hong Xiqi would be unhappy if he said it and ruin the relationship between the two.
"Huh?" Hong Xiqi asked, then patted her head and said, "By the way, the tennis racket is still in the dormitory."
Tao You's racket was in Song Yimian's hand, and she didn't have to go back to get it, but she finally decided to convince herself that it was just a matter of time because she was sweating, so just go for a run with her, just as a warm-up. After finishing the mental construction, she smiled and said: "It's okay, let's go, but we have to hurry up, class is about to begin."
In the dormitory, Hong Xiqi was humming a song in the bathroom and slowly changing clothes. Tao You sat on the chair anxiously, watching the time on her watch passing by. She walked to the bathroom door again, knocked on the door and urged: "Hong Xiqi, are you okay? There is not enough time."
She didn't expect Hong Xiqi to take such a long time and regretted accompanying her back to the dormitory. She had arranged her time well and executed it one by one, but now it was all disrupted. She was so anxious that she walked back and forth in the dormitory, hoping that time could pass slower and Hong Xiqi could move faster.
"Immediately." Hong Xiqi still answered, which made Tao You a little annoyed.
Tao You is a person with a good sense of time. When he opens his eyes every day, he will habitually divide the time for the next things to be done in his mind, and complete them one by one in an orderly manner.
She usually keeps her watch close to her body and plans her time tightly before doing anything. Whenever an unexpected incident disrupts her plan, she feels uncomfortable. Even if something suddenly occurs to her, she will not stop what she is doing immediately. I will arrange to do it in my spare time.
From the time she moved back during the summer vacation to now, she has relaxed her requirements on herself, wandering between being late and almost being late several times. She doesn't want to continue like this and is trying to get herself back to her previous state.
Hong Xiqi is just the opposite. She usually doesn't have much time to plan. She just comes up with something and does whatever comes to mind. She never thinks about what she will do in the next hour, the next minute, or even the next second. At this moment, I am not worried about being late for the event, I am just thinking about cleaning up better.
Tao You's patience was completely exhausted: "Are you ready? The time is really coming." His tone became calmer, and he tried hard to control his anger, without any expression on his face.
Hong Xiqi finally came out of the bathroom, neatly dressed, with a high ponytail, a white tennis suit, and black tennis shoes.
"Let's go." Hong Xiqi picked up the racket and said to Tao You.
Tao You didn't respond and opened the door and left without waiting for Hong Xiqi. She took long steps and walked very fast. Hong Xiqi trotted behind to keep up. She realized that she had made Tao You angry too much, so she also Not daring to speak, he followed her silently.
The two of them rushed to the stadium, and Coach Tan had just called on the last few names. Before Tao You could catch his breath, he followed the large troops in warm-up activities, and the anger in his heart had not been completely extinguished.
"Hong Xiqi, what's wrong with Tao You?" Song Yimian noticed that Tao You was in a bad mood and Hong Xiqi was not beside her. He didn't dare to step forward rashly, so he went to ask Hong Xiqi at the back of the team.
Hong Xiqi guessed the reason, smiled apologetically at him, and said, "I was too lazy in the dormitory just now and almost made her late again."
Song Yimian looked at Tao You's back in front of him, wondering when she had become a person who valued time. This change in her personality really amazed him.
"You tell me, I didn't mean it. I really don't know what to do. Should I just go up and apologize, or..." Hong Xiqi was still talking to Song Yiqi here, hoping that he could She wanted to give herself some advice, but Song Yimian left before she could finish what she said, "Hey, wait until I finish what I said. At least you can help me think of a solution! Are we friends?"
Song Yimian walked to Tao You and asked softly: "Are you angry?"
Tao You glanced at him but said nothing.
"Tell me, what's wrong? Did Hong Xiqi make you angry?" Song Yimian continued to ask.
Hong Xiqi's lack of punctuality made Tao You angry, but it was only for a few minutes. He had long since calmed down and said impatiently: "No, I'm angry at myself."
Song Yimian didn't quite understand what she said, so he tilted his head and guessed, and finally asked, "Why are you angry with yourself?"
Tao You was upset, too lazy to explain too much, and said perfunctorily: "It has nothing to do with you, go away!" He gently pushed Song Yimian.
Song Yimian was still standing next to her, took out a candy from his pocket, opened it, stuffed it into Tao You's mouth, and advised with a smile: "Don't think about it if you don't understand it. Relax, you will figure it out eventually." , I put your racket on the bench on the far left, remember to take it." As soon as he finished speaking, Coach Tan called him away.
The sugar in his mouth slowly melted, and the sweet yet sour lime-flavored fructose occupied Tao You's entire mouth, stimulating his taste buds and spreading to all parts of his body. His irritable heart was gradually soothed, and his complexion returned to normal.
"Xiao Youyou, I know I was too lazy in the dormitory just now. I'm sorry." Seeing that Tao You didn't seem so angry anymore, Hong Xiqi ran over to apologize immediately.
Tao You smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm not angry with you anymore." You'd better be careful, it's not good to be late all the time. She still couldn't say the next sentence.
