In the evening, a thunderstorm had just ended, and there was still a layer of dark clouds overhead that had not dispersed. Tao You and the others came out of the bookstore. The air was filled with moisture that had not dispersed, mixed with earthy smell, and it was a bit muggy.
Hong Xiqi breathed greedily while stretching: "Xiao Youyou, are you going home or coming with us to the stadium?"
Tao You replied to Tao's father's message, raised his head and said, "Go to the stadium and have dinner together later?"
"Okay." Gu Yi interjected, "There just happened to be a restaurant that just opened on the street in front. I heard it tastes pretty good."
He always knows where the delicious and affordable restaurants are in Weicheng. Even if they are located in an unknown alley, he can dig them out for you. This is comparable to Hong Xiqi, a veteran foodie.
Hong Xiqi supported Tao You and said, "Okay. Well...you can replenish your food wherever you go. I'll buy you some soy sauce elbow to replenish your body later."
Song Yimian walked in front with his schoolbag on his back without saying a word. This made Tao You a little uncomfortable.
——Song Xiaopang is unhappy? Why? Not satisfied with your morning training? It shouldn't be. With his level, how could he be unsatisfied?
Tao You looked at Song Yimian's back.
Today he was wearing a bronze-colored short-sleeved shirt with a string of English letters printed on his chest.
The boy has not yet fully grown, and the general outline of his broad shoulders and narrow waist can be seen. Although he is still a little immature, he is still much better than boys of the same age, as if he has been growing up on an accelerator.
My back is very straight, and my posture is as good as ever. He raised his hand to lift his schoolbag to the front, lowered his head to rummage for something, and handed it to Gu Yi. w_/a_/p_/\_/.\_/c\_/o\_/m
As he moves, the shoulder blades on both sides protrude slightly, and the corners of his clothes swing.
Tao You inexplicably thought of the last part of the road that Song Yimian carried her on last night. The boy had just finished exercising, and the hot body temperature penetrated into Tao You's skin through his clothes. Tao You has a well-proportioned figure and is not light in weight, but he walks easily and steadily with every step. He can walk a long distance without taking a breath. If the wound is not too painful, it keeps pulling on her nerves. , she most likely dozed off with her eyes closed.
At that time, all her attention was focused on the wound. Looking back now, this was the first time someone carried her since she entered elementary school. It was also the first time she knew that a boy's back could feel so safe.
"Xiao Youyou, what are you thinking about? Share it with me~" Hong Xiqi raised his eyebrows sideways and teased, "Your face is as red as a monkey's butt."
Tao You pushed Hong Xiqi away, "No, it's nothing."
"Impossible슷·슷···"
"I suddenly thought, how about we go back to the bookstore and do a few more sets of papers, and the rest can be finished in a few hours in the evening. You are not on the school team, and I don't have to train. Going to the stadium is a waste of time. It's better to review a little more knowledge. You're right." Tao You interrupted Hong Xiqi, pretending to drag her back to the bookstore.
Hong Xiqi's face was full of horror, and she dragged Tao You back, "I don't! You are the devil, little Youyou! I have used up all my brain cells today, and half of the extra ones are gone!"
"Gu Yi and the others have gone far away."
In front, Gu Yi carried his schoolbag on his chest and was absorbed in discussing the topic with Song Yimian while walking. He still had a notebook and pen in his hand to write and draw. Neither of them noticed Tao You and Hong Xiqili behind them. He didn't move where he was, just walking long legs and walking far away. When they reached the intersection, Song Yimian realized that it was too quiet behind him. When he looked back, he realized that Tao You and Hong Xiqi had not followed at all.

"Xiaoyou, didn't I tell you to rest more at home because your knees don't feel good anymore?" Tao's father took the pickled elbow from Tao You's hand, opened it and smelled it, "Yeah, it smells so good."
Tao You jumped to the living room with one foot and took the medicine box, "I went out to study. I didn't even pick up the racket. I didn't go to practice."...
Tao's father put the sauced elbow on the plate, took the chopsticks, and while eating, reminded Tao You, "It's your mother's fault that she works overtime today, otherwise you will have to be punished again."
Tao's mother was not at home, and the air conditioner in the living room was turned on. Tao You was sweating outside, and felt indescribably comfortable when the cool breeze blew.
She shook her good leg, leisurely chewed another portion of pork elbow, turned on the TV, and looked for a new police movie.
Dad Tao is holding the plate. (The next page is more exciting!)
Zi came over and sat next to Tao You, "By the way, Xiao Song and Xiao Qi sent you back yesterday. Have you thanked them?"
Tao You paused for a second while chewing the elbow, then looked down at the elbow in her hand, which Hong Xiqi bought, "No. Tomorrow, tomorrow." She said perfunctorily, and her attention returned to the TV again.
Halfway through watching the TV, Tao's father said again, "Don't you only have singles? Why did you suddenly add doubles? Do you have enough time?"
"The captain of our women's team injured his foot and probably won't be able to participate in this year's competition. Then," she picked up the juice and took a sip, "the organizer added a mixed doubles event for men and women. They said that a TV station would come to film it and add a little more. It was interesting, so I was temporarily pulled over.”
"Oh, just to make up the numbers." Tao's father nodded and threw the empty box away.
"It's just a matter of making up the numbers." Tao You refused, "That's because Coach Tan has a good idea. There are only two groups in our team participating in the mixed doubles of men and women, and I am one of them.\./hand\./machine\./edition\./ First\./Posted\./Updated\./New~~ Moreover, my partner in women’s doubles is also very powerful.”
"Okay, okay, you're the best." Dad Tao said with a smile. Thinking of something, he glanced sideways at Tao You, coughed lightly, rubbed his thigh with one hand, and asked unintentionally, "What about you, who is your partner in the mixed competition?" Who? Xiao Song? Xiao Gu? It should be Xiao Song. You two have a good relationship, so they will work together better and save time. "
"Oh, no." Tao You was immersed in the plot, and was suddenly interrupted. He said a little impatiently, "They are the ones with the most arrangements, how can they have the energy to train these. I told you, too do not know."
Tao's father handed Tao You a tissue and continued, "If you don't tell me, of course I won't recognize you."
"Zhou Hechang. Don't you know him?"
"Hmm... I really don't know him." Tao's father shook his head, "He is in the same grade as you? What class? Arts and sciences? What does he look like? What's his personality like? Home..."
Tao You sighed and rolled his eyes at the ceiling, "Stop it! Dad, why are you asking for such details? It's just a game, a game. That's all." It's not like he's looking for a partner.
"Ahem, just asking. After all, we are partners and we have to train together for so long."
Tao You changed the TV channel and said without turning his head, "It didn't take long, just a few months. You are already in your senior year of high school at the beginning of school, and you don't have much time to work on."
"Speaking of which, Dad, he is in Class 1 of Science! What a top student!" Tao You suddenly cheered up, "That's amazing. If I could get into Class 1 of Science, just studying would probably cost me half of my life. , how can I still have time to participate in these competitions?"
Tao's father beat his back with a small hammer and laughed: "Oh, if the first class is too stressed, the second class is actually pretty good too, just try your best."
Tao You turned back and sat down, refusing: "That won't work. Class 1 still has to go."
"I won't watch anymore. I'm going to study." Tao You turned off the TV, took his schoolbag and went back to the room.
Dad Tao took the remote control panel and said, "If you don't want to watch it, I'm still watching it. What are you doing if it's turned off? What channel was that just now?"
————————————————————————
In the last month of summer vacation, there are no too many other entertainment activities between the stadium, the bookstore, and home.
Two days before the start of the school year, the training camp ended. Tao You and the others returned to school to take the placement test. The results of their studies during the entire summer vacation were answered at this moment.
The exam was over and the sky was filled with sunset. Tao You and the others walked out of the school gate. It happened that the military training for the freshmen in high school was over and parents were waiting at the school gate.
"How did you do on the exam?"
At the school gate, Tao's mother took Tao You's schoolbag and asked.
"It's not bad, I've done a few similar questions." Tao You stretched.
"It's okay." Tao's mother came to pick up Tao You once in a while. "You took the exam yourself. Do you know how you did? Are you sure you will get into class one?"
Tao You felt a little dizzy, so he closed the car door, leaned on the backrest, and closed his eyes: "Don't worry."
Tao's mother stopped asking further, "I bought this for you, eat it." She said, taking a bag of desserts from the passenger seat and handing it to Tao You in the back seat.
Tao You half-opened his eyes, took the bag, and glanced at the name on it: "Miracle Bannuo."
"Mom, when will you buy these again?" Tao You came immediately. (The next page is more exciting!)
Spirit.
Tao's mother glanced at Tao You through the rearview mirror and said, "Xiao Qin knew that you were taking exams in different classes today, so she bought them specially for you. She said you all like to eat these."
Xiaoqin is Tao's mother's assistant. Tao You has met her a few times. She is a sister who has just graduated but is very good at work. The two of them are quite compatible.
Tao You immediately took out her mobile phone and sent a thank you message to Xiao Qin before saying, "Ah, she also bought my favorite bread! Sister Xiao Qin understands me. Mom, would you like to try it? It's delicious." "Tao You stretched out the bread to Tao's mother's head.
"I won't eat. You can eat it yourself." Tao's mother tilted her head slightly to avoid it. "Eat less. If you eat too much, you will gain weight. You will have to eat out soon."
Tao You took back his hand with some disappointment and agreed in a low voice: "Oh."
——————————————————————————
"Little Youyou!" On the first day of school, Tao You returned to her original classroom. She came not too early, and the corridor was already noisy. Every class was noisy and there was no teacher to take care of it.
Hong Xiqi arrived in the classroom early. When she saw Tao You, she waved her arms enthusiastically, "The results will be out soon, are you nervous?!"
Tao You shook her head calmly. Her confidence came from this entire summer vacation. If she studies uncompromisingly and works hard on the right path, she will definitely be rewarded.
Hong Xiqi patted her head in frustration, "During the exam, there were a few questions at the end. Didn't Song Yimian give us similar questions before, but I still couldn't remember them all. Hey, if I had known I would have missed it during the summer vacation. I’ve learned a lot from you.”
"I even wonder if Song Yimian has traveled back from the future." Hong Xiqi said mysteriously, "We are obviously the same age and in the same class, but how come he is so accurate in answering the questions? I never got it right once."
Tao You glanced at the empty seat next to him and shrugged, "This is probably the difference between mortals and great gods. It cannot be easily measured with a ruler."
"Tap-tat-tat" a familiar voice sounded in the corridor.
