"It's nothing." Song Yimian sat down and raised his head and said, "I thought all the thorns on your body were smoothed away, but it turned out that you just hid it, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. Does Aunt Shujiang know that you are like this?"
Tao You blurted out those words without thinking about it just now. She was a little frightened. She hadn't spoken so frankly to outsiders for many years, but now she made an exception again.
"Were you worried about me just now?" Song Yimian asked next.
Tao You also sat down and played with his fingertips. He was slightly stunned by Song Yimian's question, and quickly retorted: "Don't put gold on your face, I mean, he disturbed my sleep, I I can’t stand him, so I’m angry.”
Although Tao You said this, she didn't think so in her heart. She never got up angry. No matter how tired or sleepy she was during the day, she rarely slept. She didn't feel angry about being disturbed.
It's true that I can't stand it. Tao You still hates people like Ding Ziming. He always looks down on others in the field he is good at, but he has not made particularly big achievements in this field. There are many people who work harder than him. Yes, he may just have a slight advantage in talent and think that he is already at the top. In Tao You's view, he just lacks the beatings from society.
Except for the time in the game arcade, this was the second time she and Ding Ziming met, and the first time they talked. Perhaps for Ding Ziming, this was their first meeting. It would not be an exaggeration to say they were strangers, if not for Song Yimian, she would never provoke such a like-minded person. In the final analysis, she was still worried about Song Yimian. This was like an instinctive reaction of Tao You's body. She had done it thousands of times when she was a child, and it had become deeply ingrained in her mind. Deep into her bones, when she was a child, Song Yimian was fat and white, and looked easy to bully, which made people feel protective, although she knew that Song Yimian would not be bullied in vain.
Not long after she sat down, her eyes met Ding Ziming opposite. He was holding a piece of paper in his hand, which should be the list of contestants. Tao You couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could feel his anger very clearly. If this world could materialize everything, his eyes at this moment might have turned into sharp knives, and Ling Chi was on her. She swallowed her saliva and lowered her head to avoid his gaze, feeling uneasy. Ding Ziming was going to explode at this point. With his arrogant character, she had no doubt that Ding Ziming would take revenge on them when the time came. She was a little timid.
"Fat Song, what I said just now, Ding Ziming won't take revenge on us, right?" Tao You hesitated and asked tentatively.
"Are you scared?" Song Yimian said bluntly.
Tao You said nothing and gave Song Yimian a look of understanding.
"Probably not. What I said is all the truth. However, the way of expression is not very friendly. However, as the saying goes, good advice is harsh to the ears, right." Tao You supported his words, "If it's because you didn't participate in the competition, That's even more unreasonable. Whoever asked him to guess without looking at the list can only blame himself for being too stupid." After saying that, she nodded affirmatively, her logic was correct.
Yes, she was right. Why should she be afraid of Ding Ziming? Thinking of this, Tao You raised his head again. Ding Ziming's head coach stood beside him, raising his hands from time to time, pointing in their direction, and opening and closing his mouth constantly. He probably guessed what Ding Ziming had just come over to do.
Tao You turned around and glanced at the name of the school on the big screen, Yingrui Private School. She knew this school. When she transferred to Weicheng, Tao's mother also inquired about this school and said it was the best among private schools. The teaching equipment and environment were better than those in public schools. In recent years, the admission rate has been It is gradually rising and has a strong momentum, but there is still a gap compared with several key public high schools. It has also established international classes specifically for several foreign Ivy League universities, and it is said that the admission rate is not low. ..
The first thing Tao’s mother liked at that time was the school’s management style and advanced teaching equipment. Ying Rui Private stated that the school's management is comparable to military management. Every student is required to live on campus. The rules and regulations are twice as many as those of public high schools. There is only one day off per week. When enrolling students, the academic performance requirements are not low. You even have to go through an interview before you can finally decide whether to be admitted to the school. Tao's mother feels that this kind of military management can better help Tao You study. In those days, Tao's mother didn't know what was wrong. She was so focused on getting Tao You to apply for this school that she didn't even visit other schools. She even immediately started preparing various registration materials, planning to send them to the school the next day. , in the end it was Tao’s father who got angry rarely and stopped her.
Finally let Tao's mother
The reason for giving up this school is still because of several news. Yingrui Private School, in order to compete with public schools for places, puts not only students under great pressure, but also teachers. In order to achieve the admission rate, students are not given a chance to breathe at all. Every day is high-intensity study. In the past ten years, there have been many Some students who committed suicide by jumping off the building because they couldn't bear the pressure were rescued, and some died there. Due to pressure, in the past two years, Yingrui Private School has deliberately begun to reduce pressure on students and teachers. Because of its advantages in various conditions, more parents are willing to send their children there, no matter how expensive the tuition is, and even the spots have to be competed for.
But someone like Ding Ziming could actually enter this school and not be expelled? Tao You deeply felt that the water involved was not shallow.
"How did he get into this school? How could he still abide by the school rules and avoid being expelled?" Tao You thought so, so he asked.
"Hmm," he stretched out a finger in front of Tao You and shook it.
Tao You was frightened and tilted his head back to look at the person.
"Ding Ziming is just a fool. How can he abide by the school rules? It's just because his family is rich and has donated a lot of materials to the school, plus he is good at tennis, that he is allowed to go in. Those school rules and regulations are in his eyes. It's no big deal here. After being punished, he violated the rules as usual, but he was suppressed and given a punishment every time. He is just a hard worker, and he is nothing." Gu Yi arrived late, with his chin facing Ding Zi opposite Minnunu said disdainfully.
Tao You was not surprised when she heard this answer, and even felt that it was completely expected.
"Men's individual competition! No. 1 Middle School, Luo Hongsheng, Ying Rui Private, Ding Ziming!" The referee's emotionless voice came from the loudspeaker.
Tao You's eyes were fixed on the field. After two meetings, she was very curious about Ding Ziming's strength. What kind of fight could he be so crazy about?
Luo Hongsheng's strength was decent, and he had won several games in the previous preliminaries, but against Ding Ziming, it was not enough and he could only be crushed. Ding Ziming may have been stimulated just now. His aura was fully activated, and he was exuding violence everywhere. He was like a hungry wolf with red eyes. He showed his full strength at the beginning and fought very fiercely. Luo Hongsheng kept Passively running all over the field to catch the ball, his physical strength is exhausted quickly.
"Luo Hongsheng's polite aura has been completely suppressed." Gu Yi hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, "I really can't see it."
Tao You was also frightened for a while when he saw it. Ding Ziming was not a complete match for his father. He still had some capital. Even if Song Yimian faced him, he might not be 100% sure of winning.
"Hey, little fat guy, can you beat him like this?" Tao You asked Song Yimian.
He frowned, held his chin in one hand, stared at the figure on the field, and shook his head slightly: "It's hard to say." He did not expect that Ding Ziming had improved so quickly in the past two years.
"How is that possible?" Gu Yi jumped in shock and said loudly, "Brother Mian, don't be humble. How can Ding Ziming be better than you? He was your defeat before."
"You also said it before." Song Yimian glanced at him and said objectively, "If you look carefully, his previous bad habits have basically been corrected, and his offense has become more fierce, with ball speed and spin. It is no exaggeration to say that the degree has made a qualitative leap. In this autumn league, no one should be his opponent, and the national team will be fine."
Tao You's eyes turned back and forth between Ding Ziming and Song Yimian for a few times before stopping on Song Yimian's cold face.
"What's your look?" Song Yimian glanced at Tao You looking at him from the corner of his eye. He turned around and saw that Tao You's eyes were filled with the word "sympathy", which was inexplicable.
"Fortunately, you are not an official team member yet, so you don't have to face him. Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing if you lose." Tao You thought of their previous confidence in Song Yimian and felt a little embarrassed, "It's okay if you lose. You're not a professional anyway, you've beaten him so many times, just treat him as a favor." She was afraid that Song Yimian wouldn't be able to accept it, so she comforted him.
Song Yimian was a little unhappy after hearing this. He clicked his tongue and said lazily: "Can you just hope that I will be better? Just wait for me to lose every day." "
Seeing Song Yimian's calm look, Tao You felt relieved and joked: "Yeah, I'm waiting for the day when you talk nonsense, make a fool of yourself, and slap yourself in the face. I will definitely prepare a big bucket of firecrackers and eat a full banquet." , let’s set off another firecracker to celebrate.”
"Firecrackers are not allowed in the city." Song Yimian pointed out the loophole seriously.
Tao You's face was covered with black lines. He reluctantly raised his lips and said, "I can go to the suburbs to set off these firecrackers. I won't find it troublesome. You will reimburse me for the travel expenses."
The conversation ended in cheers. Ding Ziming easily won the game with a score of 6 to 0. He lifted up his clothes and wiped his sweat. He smiled casually and high-fived and bumped shoulders with the team members. After doing everything, he looked at Song Yimian and the others. Come here, the posture is like a lone wolf that has just won a battle, standing proudly on the edge of the cliff, looking into the distance, almost howling at the sky twice.
Ding Ziming knew that Song Yimian was also looking at him, so he stretched out his right hand in a gesture of approval, and then slowly turned his thumb downward in a naked provocation. Within a few seconds, the coach slapped him on the back of the head with a folder.
"Damn it, why does he deserve a beating so much?" Gu Yi cracked his fingers and said through gritted teeth, "I really want to go up and beat him up." "
"I'm not gesticulating at you, why are you so excited every time?" Tao You frowned when he saw Ding Ziming's actions, but he was not as nervous as Gu Yi.
Luo Hongsheng walked back dejectedly. The atmosphere in the team was not that good either. Coach Sun was the only one present. Luo Hongsheng was not usually in charge, so he couldn't say much. He could only pat his shoulders and say a few words of comfort.
"Didn't Hong Xiqi say she was coming? Why hasn't she come yet?" Tao You looked at the time and turned on his phone to send a message.
"She has something to do at home and won't come." Gu Yi replied, "I forgot to tell you."
Tao You looked at him suspiciously, suspecting that he was tricking her: "How do you know?"
"We went to buy books in the morning. We were supposed to come here together, but her parents suddenly called her and asked her to go back." Gu Yi explained succinctly, playing with the camera in his hand, "The Chinese teacher asked me to buy it. , I don’t remember the name, but she happened to want to buy it, so we went together.”
Tao You nodded, thinking in his mind that they had been arguing every day before, but now they were good enough to go out alone together.
