She took three days off during the holiday. Tao Youzhai didn't go anywhere at home. She made up all the courses that she had missed in previous knowledge points. Only then did she realize that more than half of the textbooks had been completed. Summer vacation would be in one month. She knew that According to Tao's mother's character, if her ranking in the final exam dropped, she would definitely be enrolled in many cram schools.
"Why did you get up so early today?" On Monday, before six o'clock in the morning, Tao You rarely got up, packed up neatly, and prepared to go out with her schoolbag on her back. Tao's mother, who had just gotten up, glanced at the clock, a little unbelievable.
Tao You had tried his best to move as gently as possible in order not to wake up Tao's father and Tao's mother and avoid their inquiries. He didn't expect Tao's mother to get up so early today.
"I, I went to school with Song Yimian today. I went to study early." Tao You changed his shoes at the door, lowering his head and not daring to look at Tao's mother for fear of revealing his secret.
"It's so early. Is the school open?" Tao's mother wiped her face and poked her head out of the bathroom. "Have a full breakfast. Grab the essential oil from the shoe cabinet and smell it when you get sleepy in class later."
Tao You picked up the small basket on the shoe cabinet, which contained only half a bottle of Fengyoujing, and put it into his trouser pocket.
Tao You waited downstairs for a while before seeing Song Yimian yawning and pushing the door open from the building opposite. ..
"Why did you get up so early?" Song Yimian lifted the tennis bag on his shoulder.
Tao You greeted him with a grin and took the tennis bag excitedly: "I'll get it, I'll get it."
"Are there going to be those trainings soon? Do you have breakfast after training?"
Today is Tao You's first day to participate in training as an official member of the tennis team. Ever since Coach Tan informed her of training this morning after the club activity the night before yesterday, she has been nervous and excited, as well as a little worried.
Before going to bed last night, Tao You specially ordered ten alarm clocks, which rang every ten minutes. He was afraid of being late for the first day of training, and wanted to go out before Tao's father and Tao's mother got up. Maybe it was because he was pretending to be something, Tao You When I wake up exactly one second before the first alarm goes off, my mind is as clear as ever.
"What are you going to practice this morning? Is it right?" Tao You had many questions in his mind.
Song Yimian put his hands in his pockets, walked forward slowly, raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth slightly, and said something that made Tao You instantly regret joining the tennis team: "In the morning, it's usually physical training. All in the evening.”
Tao You's eyes widened and he blinked, froze on the spot and stopped moving forward.
"What are you doing standing still? Let's go." Song Yimian turned around and saw that Tao You didn't follow, so he went back and pushed Tao You forward.
"I, I'm not going." Tao You leaned back, unwilling to take another step, "I regret it."
The club activity that Tao You hates the most is physical training. Every time she practices, she feels like she is dying. How could she forget about this?
"I told you a long time ago not to be impulsive, but you didn't listen. Now you can't regret it. Lao Tan finally deceived a female team member, and he won't agree to your withdrawal so easily." Song Yimian pushed Tao harder You can't let her back down.
The two of them arrived at the school while pushing. The music for the morning jog was already playing. The playground was crowded with people. Tao You seemed to have returned to the nightmare of the morning jog last semester.
"Here we come." Coach Tan moved a small pony and placed it at the entrance of the tennis court. He leaned on it with his legs crossed and played with his mobile phone in one hand. He glanced at Song Yimian and Tao You who were walking into the court and ordered, "First Just be like the third child, so hurry up." After saying that, he ignored Tao You's doubts and continued to look at his phone with his head down.
Tao You didn't get an answer from Coach Tan, so he turned around and asked Song Yimian, who was putting down his schoolbag: "What the hell are you doing?" There were many schoolbags on the field, but there were no players. He looked at the crowded playground outside the field, She had a bad feeling.
"Warm up, ten laps, 100 burpees. The movements must be standard. Lao Tan will personally supervise. Every fake will be punished by 10." Song Yimian walked to the sidelines, doing stretching exercises step by step, and said calmly, for those who grew up, As for him who started to accept these exercises, he has completely adapted to this intensity of physical training, and he feels uncomfortable if he does not practice for a long time.
Tao You stood aside with her mouth wide open, pointing to herself in disbelief and asking: "Ten laps? Do another hundred burpees?!" She finally knew why the venue was empty, and they all went to the playground to jog. No wonder I saw a few familiar people on the playground when I walked around just now.
She thought she was dazzled by the face.
"It's my first day of practice today, and I'm doing the same thing as you?! Isn't there any step-by-step explanation?!" Tao You followed Song Yimian in doing warm-up exercises, but his mouth didn't stop, "The requirements of the women's team are the same as yours!" Is it the same for the men’s team? Didn’t the indicators lower?”
Song Yimian was tall and had long legs. He was two steps ahead of Tao You and was far ahead of her. He turned around and said, "There were some before. You can ask Lao Tan, but now it seems that there is a new male and female mixed group." Project, several veteran members of the women’s team are now practicing with us, with the same intensity.”
"It's even more intense than us." Song Yimian added that Coach Tan only got the news last month. After that, the women's team's physical training gradually increased, and sometimes they would stay for additional training, and sometimes they would also increase training on weekends. He had seen them many times during the training. When they returned one by one, their legs were shaking and they could walk unsteadily.
Ten minutes later, the two of them finished their warm-up and the morning run was in full swing. When Tao You passed Coach Tan, he stopped without giving up and asked: "Coach Tan, how many laps do I want to run?"
Coach Tan looked up from his phone, poked the brim of his hat with his hand, and said with a rude face, "Didn't Song Yimian tell you? Ten laps."
"But today is my first day of practice. Can you skip a few laps and give me some time to get used to it?" Tao You looked at Coach Tan nervously.
Coach Tan turned his head, moved his chin in the direction of the playground, and said: "The other women's teams practice like this. It's not that I don't want to relieve you of the pressure. The autumn league is in October and it's already over. There's not much time left. , and now there is a new mixed sport for boys and girls. Our school cannot let no one participate. There is a certain gap in physical strength between girls and boys. Now we have to make up for it in a short period of time. We must not be lazy in physical training."
"You get used to it and you'll be fine in two days."
Tao You went to the playground dejectedly. When the morning run was over, she had just finished doing the so-called third thing. She collapsed on the ground motionless. Only the chest rising and falling violently showed that she was still alive. The rest of the team members, who were in good physical strength, were standing aside chatting like normal people. Those who were not in good physical strength were just sitting on the ground to rest. None of them were like Tao You.
"Don't rest for too long, get up and move around." Coach Tan saw that everyone was almost done practicing and blew the whistle to assemble.
"Today I am the first to practice frog leaping. One round trip counts as one, and I am ready for ten sets of frog leaps." Coach Tan stood behind the court and pointed to the bottom of the opposite court. In one round trip, he jumped the length of two tennis courts. After saying that, he sat back on his little horse.
"There are exactly twenty people in a group. They are divided into groups. When connecting with the next person, they must high-five before they can start. When they reach the opposite side, they must touch the wall before they can come back. When jumping, their hands must be behind their backs and cannot touch the ground, otherwise the score will be directly increased. Twenty seconds. The total score is the average of the ten groups. There will be a penalty for the slowest group. Hurry up." He waved the silver whistle hanging on his chest.
Tao You only knew Song Yi and Gu Yi in the team, so he naturally formed a group with them. In the same group, there was another member of the female team and a member of the male team, both sophomores in high school.
"Ready, beep!" Coach Tan blew the whistle, and the first place started. The first person in Tao You's group was Gu Yi. With his superior leg length, jumping ability, and leg strength, he quickly led the others. A big chunk.
Tao You was in third place, her heartbeat was beating fast, and she was very flustered, fearing that she would be a hindrance to their group. She looked at the groups next to her, and saw that all the people in third place were boys, and she became increasingly worried.
The second-placed senior is almost here. Tao You squats down and prepares to give her a high-five. They have already competed with each other. Tao You and his group are leading the other three groups at a crushing speed. Tao You doesn't want to be held back, so he sets off. She ran forward with all her strength, and then jumped to the bottom of the opposite field. When she turned around and came back, someone nearby had already shortened the gap and was about to catch up with her.
Tao You didn't have time to look at other progress. He endured the pain in his thighs and gritted his teeth to complete the whole process, but he was still caught up by others. She returned to the back of the team and collapsed on the ground, with a ferocious face, her hands behind her back, breathing heavily, and the muscles in her thighs beat and contracted uncontrollably.
After the morning physical training, after breakfast, Tao You was helped into the classroom by Song Yimian and Gu Yi. The students were almost in the classroom. Not long after the morning reading bell rang, three people came in. There was a lot of movement. Everyone looked over curiously. They were scolded by the class teacher before they continued to attend to their morning reading.
"
Xiaoyouyou, are you okay? Hong Xiqi saw Tao You's trembling legs and said with concern, "The tennis team is training so intensely. It's not like this during our club activities." "
Tao You struggled to hold the table and sit down. The lactic acid accumulated on her thighs instantly stimulated her to tears. She calmed down for a few seconds, waved her hand to Hong Xiqi and said, "Social activities, huh, those are just for us, pediatricians." .”
"The tennis team's physical training is the real thing." She said and gave a thumbs up.
"You know what I've been through this morning." Tao You told Hong Xiqi one by one about the contents of the morning's training.
"Fortunately, I wasn't asked to join the tennis team." Hong Xiqi patted her chest and said, feeling like she was surviving a disaster. "If it were me, I would lie down on the playground and play dead after running ten laps."
Tao You pursed his lips, frowned and looked at Hong Xiqi.
"Oh, I feel sorry for our little Youyou for a minute." Hong Xiqi patted Tao You on the head and joked with a smile, "Weren't you very excited the past two days, and it's only been one morning? Why don't you go tell Teacher Tan, Just quit the team, you will suffer the consequences later."
Tao You heard the ridicule in her tone and knew that this was a way to provoke others, but she still followed it. She patted the table gently and swore: "I will never quit the team unless it is for objective reasons!"
