When Song Yimian heard Tao You's crying voice, a part of his heart sank, and he comforted her softly, "It's okay, just sit in the front and you'll be fine."
"Wait a minute." Tao You stood up slowly and felt dizzy. She lowered her head, put one hand on the back of the chair next to her to stabilize her shaking body, and freed her other arm from Song Yimian's hand.
It was as if the same kind of cleaning agent was used in all bus compartments, and there was always an indescribable smell, like the smell emitted by a pile of plastics stacked in an airtight place for a long time.
Tao You breathed shallowly, feeling the turbulence in her abdomen become more intense. Her front teeth clenched the inner lip of her lower lip.
She was now desperately craving for fresh air, and the physical discomfort had drained her little patience to the last half. If motion sickness hadn't restricted her speech, she might have cursed.
"Let's go, let's go first." Seeing that Tao You was unsteady, Song Yimian reached out to help her again.
「······」
Tao You pursed his lips tightly and did not respond, but moved his arms to the side again.
——It’s too crowded. I feel like vomiting even more.
Many team members from the surrounding area came to care about it and promoted the flow of hot air in the car. Tao You stood in the middle of the crowd, and various sounds and smells of concern were mixed together, vying to get in through her nose and ears. She felt a nerve connected to her temple beating suddenly, and her entire brain began to throb and hurt. .
Tao You just bent down slightly, and you couldn't tell it unless you looked carefully.
But Song Yimian just understood what she was thinking. He waved to the classmates gathered around him and said, "What are you all doing here? You have nothing to do. Don't you have your own seat?!"
The movement here woke up many team members who were not sleeping well, and the carriage that had been quiet for a while became lively again.
The classmate who changed seats was not in a hurry and rushed Gu Yi to Song Yimian's seat. He sat down on Gu Yi's seat, turned on his phone and started inviting other team members to play games together.
Coach Tan and Coach Sun also walked over worriedly and asked softly, "How is it? Is it hard? I didn't expect that this road is being renovated in the past few days. It is really full of potholes."
They were very surprised when they saw Tao You's face was paler than a blank sheet of paper. It was the first time they had seen such severe motion sickness.
Although Tao You was sweating all over her body and her forehead was cold, she felt uncomfortably hot, like a world of ice and fire.
Coach Tan looked out the window and then at his watch, "Tsk, there's no way to stop the car now."
He turned around and discussed with Coach Sun, "Well, Coach Sun, there is a gas station a little further over, and there is still enough time. Ask the driver to stop there for a while. I see that there are a few team members in front who are feeling uncomfortable, so they all got off the car to rest. Later."
Coach Sun turned around to communicate with the driver.
"Sit in the front." Coach Tan gave up his seat and said to the classmates sitting in the back, "Who else is uncomfortable? Change seats in time. Don't hold back and show off. We have to train later."
"Old Chen!" Coach Tan stood in the middle of the car for a while and shouted to the driver, "Turn off the air conditioner, it's too stuffy. Everyone, please open the windows to ventilate!"
————————————————————————————
Tao You walked to an empty seat and slumped down with trembling limbs. She raised her arms and placed her ten uncontrollably trembling fingers on the lock of the glass window. He didn't know if the lock was rusty and stuck because it hadn't been repaired for too long, or if it was originally broken. Tao You's fingers turned white with force, but he still couldn't open it.
As the car jolted, "Ugh." Due to the inertia, Tao You's head suddenly hit the plastic crossbar on the back of the chair in front of him.
She didn't have time to pay attention to the insignificant pain coming from her head. Tao You felt a sour smell that was about to break through her throat. She hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands. There was no extra plastic bag at hand. She couldn't vomit in the car. inside.
"Shua"
Song Yimian's long hand reached over Tao You's head and pushed open the stuck window with one force.
The cool dry air suddenly hit my face. Tao You was lying by the window, eyes closed, breathing greedily. She had never liked the biting cold wind blowing on her face as much as she did now, and she even wanted it to come harder.
"It will be much better if you listen to some music to divert your attention." Song Yimian put one earphone into Tao You's ear.
The English news in the headphones has not been paused yet. Both hosts speak with a standard British accent. Because they speak very fast, the words are strung together, and there are even many swallowed sounds.
Tao You could vaguely understand a few simple words, but the rest of the foreign language made her brain throb more and more painfully.
——Why do you need to learn English when you get carsick and compete in a race? Is it because she didn't suffer enough from English listening in school? ! Why is Song Yimian so different? He was probably not specially sent by God to torture her. If this is the music Song Yimian talks about, then don’t listen to it. She just gets motion sickness, not dementia. Although her brain is a bit slow, she can still tell the difference between music and news!
Tao You slightly raised his hand to hook up the earphones, stuffed his still trembling hands into his pocket, turned his head toward the window, closed his eyes and rested.
Within a few seconds, Tao You's ears were plugged into headphones again. Different from the noisy chat-style news just now, what flowed into his ears this time was soothing and smooth piano music suitable for meditation and hypnosis.
——This is the music that normal people should listen to.
This time Tao You didn't take off his headphones, and gradually fell asleep as the music played one after another in his ears.
——————————————————————————————
She had a particularly peaceful sleep this time. When she woke up, the bus was parked at the front entrance of the hotel. There were several school buses queuing up in front of her. Naturally, they could only wait in the car, but the team members were in such a bad state. Already getting excited, they gathered at the car window and gestured at the golden buildings outside. The windows were filled with white mist caused by their breath.
——Didn’t I sleep against the window? Why did I lean on Song Yimian? Am I so dishonest when I sleep? ! I haven't heard from Tao's father or Tao's mother that she has this habit. Or because of the truest thoughts in his heart, he did what she wanted to do most while she was sleeping.
Tao You's eyes returned to clarity, and her neck remained in the same position. It was already sore and gradually stiffened, but she did not dare to move her head casually, leaning on Song Yimian's shoulder, and her body became even stiffer.
She blinked her eyes a few times, then closed them again and pretended to sleep.
——Should I wake up now or continue to pretend to be asleep?
In her mind, the little devil standing on the other side of the scale, with his hands on his hips, coaxed Tao You to continue pretending to sleep. Isn't this the moment she has been looking forward to? Why not take advantage of this to experience it for a few more minutes.
——That makes sense.
Tao You refused to listen to what the little angel dressed in snow-white clothes with a golden halo on her head said. She decisively chose to pretend to be asleep. It was this neck that would probably feel uncomfortable for a while.
——Wait a minute, when I woke up just now, was my mouth closed or open?
——————————————————————————————
A few minutes later, when Tao You fell asleep again, the bus braked suddenly and the door opened.
When Tao You's head rushed forward, he pulled it back in time. His movements were much faster than those of the other team members who were not sleeping around him.
"Get your things and get off the car. Pack up the snack bags and throw them away. Don't leave them in the car!" Coach Tan picked up the plastic speaker again, stood at the front of the car and said, "Line in line, line up. If you don't wake up, the person next to you should shout. You follow Coach Sun to the lobby and wait while I go to check in for the room first."
"Wake up, wake up, don't sleep."
"You slept so deeply all the way. You were snoring so much that it didn't help that I had noise-canceling headphones next to you. Hey, I recorded it. Don't you wonder what your snoring sounds like?"
「······」
"We're here now?"
Song Yimian just raised her hand and before it touched Tao You's shoulder, she raised her head first, stretched energetically, put one hand on the back of her neck and rubbed it slowly, while rubbing her eyes, pretending to wake up. He came over, took a sip of water and said, "Sure enough, sleep is the best way to deal with motion sickness. It works every time."
Song Yimian stared at Tao You, looked deeply for a few seconds, put down his hand, and said "Yeah" from his throat as a response to Tao You.
"I don't sleep well. Are your shoulders sore? I'll give it to you, hammer?" Tao You took her hands out of her pockets and clenched them into fists. She asked while putting her hands on Song Yimian's black coat. Glancing.
—There are no traces of saliva, which is great!
"No, you should take some motion sickness medicine in advance next time." Song Yimian stood up, took off their bags from the car, and handed Tao You's to her, "If you do this every time you ride in the car, you won't be able to compete. ." After he finished speaking, he put on his bag and followed the team members out of the car.
——He probably didn’t realize that he was pretending to sleep.
Tao You thought his disguise was very successful.
But Tao You didn't see it. When Song Yimian turned around and got out of the car, a see-through smile appeared in his already clear eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up vaguely.
——————————————————————————————
The hotel lobby is magnificently decorated, and the elegant scent of perfume is wafting everywhere. There are several well-dressed and well-working hotel staff standing at the door.
The empty lobby was unusually packed with people.
There were no more seats on the sofas, and many people were sitting on their suitcases. Some people even bundled up their clothes and sat directly on the ground, crossing their legs and looking at their mobile phones leisurely.
"Wait there for a while." Coach Sun pointed to a corner, "Everyone has come down, right? Have you got everything? Captain, please call your name."
"Hello." After Coach Sun ordered, he went to the side to answer the phone.
After nearly twenty minutes, Tao You couldn't hold it anymore, put his schoolbag horizontally on the ground, and sat down.
"Xiao Youyou, let's play flying chess." Hong Xiqi took out a mini flying chess from her schoolbag and unfolded it on the ground.
Tao You took Hong Xiqi's schoolbag, took a look inside, shook his head and sighed, "Is this Doraemon's pocket? Why does it even have flying chess pieces? And this one, backgammon? Poker cards? Chess?" ! How can you hold your schoolbag so well?!"
"That's not the case." Hong Xiqi said proudly, "As a logistics person, I have already guessed the current situation. I can't just stand there stupidly all the time. There are times when I get tired of playing with my mobile phone. This is the time for my logistics role. Are these still boring?" She said and distributed several other things to the team members.
Not long after we started playing, Coach Tan came over with a stack of ID cards and room cards.
"Stop playing, put it all away. It's not too late to go back to the room and play again." Coach Tan said in a hurry, "Hong Xiqi, Tao You, you two share a room. Wang Ming, Song Hao, you two together..." ····》
"Gu Yi, you and the captain are in the same room..."
