"Tao You, you have the same problem with your backhand." Coach Tan held the basket with his hands and said, "Don't shrink your hands, stretch them out. You don't push them forward enough, and your waist doesn't turn up. Just like before, After picking up the ball, practice a hundred swings before lining up. By the way, you hit someone just now, so add sixty burpees and push-ups if you can do them."
Tao You looked bitter after hearing this. For someone like her who doesn't do much exercise all year round, she can't even do a single push-up, and sixty burpees are even more difficult. She wanted to discuss with Coach Tan whether she could reduce the number: "Coach Tan, can you reduce the number of burpees? I can't do it."
"Seventy!" Coach Tan doesn't care about pity. This is sports competition. If the basics are not good, then practice. Even if the movements are not in place, you have to practice. This is not a big deal. Just take your time. He will not encourage others, but injuries If it comes to other people, they will be punished without discussion!
"No, sixty is good! I'll do it right now!" Seeing that bargaining was useless, Tao You got more and agreed to sixty at once. Run to the back of the team, put down your racket, and immediately get down on the ground and start doing it.
While she was doing it, she reflected on her behavior just now. She shouldn't have asked. It was her fault in the first place. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she shouldn't have asked. When she was young, she didn't train more than this. It was really shameful.
"Xiaoyou, how many have you done?" Hong Xiqi came over and asked after picking up the ball, "Coach Tan is too cruel, sixty. We have just started practicing. We have to finish it."
After Tao You stood up, her legs were so weak that she seemed to be paralyzed in the next second. She held on to the fence and said breathlessly: "I just hit Song Yimian. This is better than being punished by running." When you're done, continue lying down.
"How many are left?" Hong Xiqi squatted aside and continued to ask.
"Twenty." Tao You answered weakly, and his movements became more and more irregular. After nearly twenty minutes, Tao You finally finished the last one, turned over, and sat on the plastic floor.
Tao You raised his hand and gently hammered the tight muscles of his thighs. Looking at the continuously circulating team in front, he felt overwhelmed and secretly moved to the back of the team until he couldn't see Coach Tan. By the same token, Coach Tan should also be unable to see her. Before sitting for a while, I heard Coach Tan's voice coming from the front of the crowd.
"Tao You, when you've finished sixty, line up. Don't sit there, stand up and move around a little." Coach Tan guessed what Tao You was doing without even looking here.
Everyone looked towards her, and a small path separated in the middle of the cluttered team. Tao You was completely exposed to Coach Tan. She laughed a few times, and her already red face became even redder.
"Others, take a ten-minute break and continue." Coach Tan took out his phone and checked the time, then ordered, "Tao You, come here and play a basket."
Tao You walked to the bottom line with trembling legs. Just as he was getting ready, he heard Coach Tan ask: "Where did you learn it before? Amateur teacher?"
Tao You didn't know the specific background of the coach when she was a child. Tao's mother said that he was very good: "I don't know." She didn't dare to speak rashly and chose to answer conservatively.
"Are you familiar with Song Yimian?" Coach Tan stopped and said, "I can ask him to give you guidance when I have time. Don't look at what I just said. It looks serious, but it's actually very subtle. Regarding some issues, his strength is still very good, there is no doubt about this, among all the high schools in Weicheng, there are not many who are on the same level as him, just single digits."
In Coach Tan's mind, he has long regarded Song Yimian as a regular player. He is strong, has great potential, studies well, and can also act as a facade to promote their tennis club. She is one of his few favorite players. , the baby was here, so I couldn’t help but say nice things for him.
Tao You naturally knew Song Yimian was very strong, but she couldn't imagine how Song Yimian could be so much better than his peers at the same age and living the same time.
Tao You felt inexplicably proud after listening to Coach Tan's words. He agreed with him and said, "He is indeed quite good."
The time for the monthly exam was determined, and everyone no longer laughed every day. After class, they basically immersed themselves in studying. The office was also crowded with students asking questions. The quietness in the class highlighted that the class next to it became increasingly noisy and money was spent. A few cranes who came in came after class and ran next door to chat.
Tao You was very used to the depressive feeling in the class, but in order to get good grades, she also worked hard to digest the knowledge points she didn't understand. She spread many books on the table so that she could check them at any time.
This period was the class teacher's math class. Tao You didn't put away the chemistry materials from the previous class in time, and was even thinking about the unfinished chemistry questions.
"Tao You, put away the books that have nothing to do with this class and read them after class." The head teacher reminded him when he saw the mess on Tao You's desk.
Tao You made a sound, closed the book at random, stuffed it into the table filled with various books and papers, and pressed it hard to prevent the books from falling out. She opened her math book and notebook and sat upright. She had always been good at math. This was also a subject that she could score well. She had to do well in the exam.
"You're pretty good at math, so why aren't you good at physics and chemistry?" Song Yimian came over and looked puzzled as Tao You solved the problems in his notebook smoothly.
Tao You didn't know why. Many people around her said that if she was good at math, she would be good at physics and chemistry, but she was just the opposite. No matter how hard she studied physics and chemistry, her scores were still close to the passing line.
"How do I know?" Tao You responded in a low voice, without pausing in her writing, raising her eyebrows and said, "I got better at math inexplicably." This is true. Her math in elementary school was appalling. Tao's mother said Every time he tutored her on math problems, he would be so angry that he would raise his hand to beat her, but he would endure it and let Tao's father continue while he went to put out the heat. After entering junior high school, her brain suddenly became enlightened and her math scores soared. During the high school entrance examination, her math scores were among the best in the city.
Song Yimian lowered his head slightly, smiled, paid attention to the movements of the class teacher, and continued in a low voice: "I will help you review if you find time during the National Day."
"I just have a question. Please help me check it out later." Tao You responded immediately. She was worried that no one would teach her. She still didn't quite understand the methods the teacher taught her. There were too many people in the office, so even if she was scheduled It wasn't always her turn throughout the day.
Because the head teacher said before get out of class that there were too many people in the office, it would be a waste of time to wait there. Students with good grades in the class could also ask some questions, such as Song Yimian and Chen Lian.
After class, there was an endless stream of people coming to see Song Yimian. Finally, no one was around. Tao You took the time to discuss the topic with Song Yimian. Jia Ming held the exercise book and draft book, slowly moved behind Song Yimian, stood quietly, lowered his head and thought about the topic, writing and drawing on the paper from time to time.
He waited for a while and saw that Song Yimian and Tao You hadn't stopped yet. He was a little impatient. When Tao You was changing questions, he stepped forward and interrupted them: "Tao You, you have so many questions." , you have to leave some time for us to ask, right?" With a face full of indignation, he had just been busy doing the questions on his own and did not pay attention to the situation here, thinking that it was because Tao You kept asking Song Yimian that the others couldn't wait and went Ask the teacher in the office, otherwise why would no one come to ask Song Yimian.
Tao You didn't understand why he said "we". He was obviously the only one really waiting here, and she had just asked a question. There were obviously more students asking questions today than before, and she couldn't even get in. This person's ability to take words out of context and tell lies with open eyes is really high, and he couldn't practice it for four to five years!
Tao You looked at him with caring eyes and said magnanimously: "Then you ask first."
Without saying a word, Jia Ming gently put his homework on Song Yimian's desk, and looked at Tao You with his head raised proudly.
Tao You raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips and lowered his head to think, not caring about his gaze.
"Which question?" Song Yimian tapped his fingers on the table to signal him not to waste time, with a cold tone.
Jia Ming quickly bent down and pointed out the topic, with the word "well-behaved" written all over his face.
After Song Yimian read the question, he wrote and drew on the paper angrily. His handwriting was scrawled and he spoke very fast, regardless of whether he could keep up with the rhythm. After finishing speaking, he pushed the paper in front of Jia Ming, not rushing him, and giving him time to digest.
Song Yimian stopped paying attention to him and continued to answer Tao You's questions.
Jia Ming frowned and thought, and asked doubtfully: "How did you get this formula?" But no one paid attention to him. He frowned, pursed his lips tightly, pushed up the frame of his glasses, and stared straight into his eyes. Staring at Tao You.
His eyes were too hot. Tao You looked up at him and said to Song Yimian: "Please help him solve the problem first. I'm not in a hurry."
Song Yimian frowned, glanced back at Jia Ming, and said coldly: "Where?" He was very impatient, and he was in a very bad mood now.
Jia Ming changed his bad attitude towards Tao You, put the notebook in front of Song Yimian, and crossed his hands in front of him. When he solved the problem, a joyful smile appeared on his face. Looking at Song Yimian, his eyes were full of admiration, and he almost bowed and thanked: "I see you can still do this! Thank you!"
"Xiao Youyou, can you do this question?" Hong Xiqi turned around and pointed to the question for Tao You.
"No, I just wanted to ask Song Yimian. When I talk later, you can just listen together." Tao You shook his head. The question she wanted to ask Song Yimian just now was cut off by Jia Ming.
Jia Ming just took a few steps forward and when he heard Tao You's words, he turned back and stood in front of Song Yimian's desk. He said to her seriously: "Tao You, if you have too many questions, it's better to ask the teacher directly." , some simple questions can be solved by yourself if you think about it more, don't always take up Song Yimian's time, he also has his own things to do, it's not fair to him that he won't have time to study like this."
Tao You really couldn't understand Jia Ming's logical thinking and didn't know why he was so hostile to her. They had not interacted with each other since the beginning of school.
Her face darkened, she stared back at Jia Ming's eyes sharply, and spoke slowly word by word, with a bad tone: "Jia Ming, in what capacity are you telling me this? Song Yimian is not mute. If he It's inconvenient, he will refuse on his own, and you don't have to talk too much! You have to provide evidence when you speak. What's wrong with asking a few questions between classmates? Am I familiar with you? Why do you have so much hostility towards me again and again? ? It only lasts three times. If there is another time, I won’t be polite anymore!”
After saying that, she closed the book hard, stood up, and walked out of the classroom angrily.
Jia Ming was frightened by Tao You's sudden change of attitude and took a small step back. He simply thought that she looked easy to bully, but he didn't expect that she was not easy to mess with when she was angry. But he was not afraid, and he calmed down in the next second. As early as the beginning of school, when Tao You changed seats and beat Song Yimian, he had been holding his breath to defend Song Yimian.
Song Yimian followed Tao You's figure with his eyes until she disappeared around the corner of the corridor. He turned around and sneered coldly, looked at Jia Ming up and down, and said with a speechless face, "You must be sick."
Jia Ming lowered his head and did not dare to look at Song Yimian. He hesitated and said: "I, I just think it's unfair to give you time. She beat you last time. Why did she..."
"It's not fair, so don't ask me." Song Yimian's face turned gloomy and he said coldly, "Don't listen when you say good things. Don't blame me for not reminding you."
Jia Ming was still dissatisfied. He had regarded Song Yimian as his idol since junior high school. Song Yimian was the light that illuminated his life. He had always followed Song Yimian's footsteps. How could he tolerate him being bullied at will by Tao You? He didn't feel that he was at fault, and said angrily: "I, this..."
"What am I! Why didn't you talk when other students came to ask Song Yimian, but they picked on Tao You instead!" Hong Xiqi intercepted his words, and her slightly raised eyes made her look even more fierce, "You have a long mouth." I'm here to talk to people, not to spit out dirty things! I'm not as easy to talk to as Tao You! If you say something again, believe it or not, I'll beat your parents until they don't even recognize you!" While threatening, she stretched out her hand and squeezed Show him his fist, "Don't tell me about punishment, I'm not afraid!"
Jia Ming swallowed hard and blinked quickly. He didn't know whether Hong Xiqi's words were true or false, but he felt that Hong Xiqi could do this. With Song Yimian's warning before him and Hong Xiqi's threat later, he was in a dilemma. He closed his lips tightly, but he was still stubborn. The school bell finally rang, rescuing Jia Ming from this frightening environment, and he quickly fled back to his seat.
Hong Xiqi laughed disdainfully. She couldn't help but be scared. She thought the paper tiger was so powerful.
