Song Yimian readily agreed, "I guarantee you will pass the test before training."
"What aroused him?" Gu Yi held his chin and slowed down, frowning, the more he looked at Song Yimian's back, the stranger he felt.
"Tao You," when Tao You and Hong Xiqi got out of the elevator, he stepped back a few steps, still staring at his walking back, and asked, "When you two were waiting for the elevator, something strange happened. ?"
Tao You tilted her head and recalled, "Something strange?" She murmured to herself, thinking that this question came from Gu Yi's mouth. According to Gu Yi's usual thinking, she did not dare to make a rash decision and asked , "For example..."
Gu Yi walked forward, lowering his head and thinking seriously, "For example..."
"For example, the lights in the corridor suddenly start to flicker, the ground suddenly shakes, or a bolt of lightning suddenly strikes, or a cold wind blows from behind, making you unable to open your eyes... ·····When everything is over, Song Yimian will look like a changed person?"
——I shouldn’t expect to hear anything serious from your mouth.
Tao You and Hong Xiqi looked at each other and saw the word "speechless" in each other's eyes.
"I think you are the one who was struck by lightning." Tao You smiled, "It's all the same."
Gu Yigang was about to retort, but Hong Xiqi poked his arm and interrupted, "Listen to what you said, it's outrageous. Watch less movies!"
"Why is this outrageous?!" Gu Yi was unconvinced, "Song Yimian actually offered to take me to play games! I have known him for so many years, and the number of times I have seen him take the initiative to play games with me is extremely rare. The last time was because it was too long and I don’t remember it.”
"Everything is outrageous!" Hong Xiqi said, clasping her fingers. "Earthquakes and lightning strikes are not enough. You can actually come up with ghosts and other things. Isn't it outrageous?"
Tao You nodded, "Everyone is in a good mood sometimes, so don't make such a fuss."
As for why Song Yimian's mood suddenly improved, Tao You couldn't figure it out. However, Song Yimian had an unstable temperament, so she was used to it and didn't think too much about it.
"Yes, yes, that's the weirdest thing!" Gu Yi's eyes widened. "One second he was expressionless, as if someone owed him money, and the next second he was so happy. It's normal. How could a person be like this?! I'm afraid it's nothing but schizophrenia..." As he spoke, he covered his mouth in surprise.
「······」
「······」
Tao You and Hong Xiqi had a tacit agreement to pretend not to recognize him and walked quickly towards the afternoon tea location.
——————————————————————————————
Less than ten minutes after they finished eating, Coach Tan urged them in the group to go downstairs to gather.
In rainy weather, Coach Tan did not bring an umbrella. Instead, he put sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and a peaked cap to protect him from the rain.
"This gathering was good, we were not late." Coach Tan was the last one to get on the bus. I don't know if it was because he was wearing sunglasses, but it was too dark to see the steps under his feet, so he stumbled and fell on the steps.
"Hey, be careful and watch the road." Driver Chen said this, and sat down in the driver's seat, wearing white gloves and calmly sipping the hot tea, and then took off the thick towel around his neck. Scarf, there is no sign of any anxiety at all.
"Coach Tan, are you okay?" Tao You and Hong Xiqi, who were sitting in the front row, were so frightened that they reflexively stood up to help them.
The team members and Coach Sun sitting in the back heard a muffled sound in front of them. They didn't know what happened, so they all stood up and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Coach Tan stood up awkwardly, stamped his feet, straightened the crooked sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, wiped the dust off his clothes, pretended to be calm and coughed twice, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, everyone, sit down."
Driver Chen put on the reading glasses hanging around his neck, took out his mobile phone and kept it half a meter away from his body. He lowered his head slightly and checked the mobile phone with half-squinted eyes.
If you want to wear sunglasses to look cool, drop it. You are quite old, who cares about you? "
Coach Tan glanced at Driver Chen who was watching the excitement from behind his dark glasses. No one could see his expression clearly. Then he picked up the familiar horn hanging next to the driver's seat.
"Turn on."
A mechanical female voice came from the speaker.
Coach Tan raised it to his mouth and shouted vindictively to the driver beside him, "Old Chen, let's drive."
With a grimace, the driver took out his ears that were hurt by the shock. He pulled the handbrake and said dissatisfiedly, "Tsk, what kind of speaker are you using at such a close distance? My forty-eighth birthday has just passed a few days ago. I don't want to go deaf young!"
Coach Tan smiled teasingly, "I'm already fifty, but I'm still young. I'm unshaven all the time. I don't feel ashamed to say this. Hey, let's just say you can't give birth to any of these kids."
Then he turned to the crowd again, picked up the speaker and put it to his mouth. He leaned crookedly on the back of the chair and said to everyone, "Have you all eaten? Let's get familiar with the venue now. There are six venues in total this time, but the competition It will definitely not be possible to open all six venues at the same time. There is a high probability that there will only be three venues at most at the same time. There is no fixed venue for the competition, it is all random."
"When we arrive in a while, we'll warm up on the sidelines. Team members from other schools may still be practicing, so just wait there for a while. If any venue is empty, go over and practice. Don't pick a venue for me at this time. What's the light here? No, the lights are dazzling and the wind is strong, these are not excuses."
"The organizer gave each school one and a half hours, and we started at 3:30. I'll just tell you, practice as much as you can. As long as the team members from the school behind you don't come to you to ask for a venue, we'll give it to you. I'll continue to practice. It's best not to leave the venue empty for others to take advantage of. One more minute of practice is one minute..."
"Why does this scene look familiar the more I look at it?" Tao You held his head and tilted his head to look at Coach Tan.
Hong Xiqi looked at Coach Tan with the same posture and said, "Tsk, Coach Tan has the potential to be a tour guide. All he needs to do is carry a backpack and plant a small flag."
Tao You automatically imagined that scene in his mind and couldn't help laughing.
Coach Tan did not look back, and reached out to pat Tao You and Hong Xiqi accurately on the head. "You two, you still have time to laugh. Did you listen to what I said? Hong Xiqi, help the team members find a venue in a moment." , just study next to me when you have nothing to do, and bring all your homework with you. Your class teacher just sent me a message, asking you to study more and hand in your homework on time before finishing the competition."
Hong Xiqi straightened her hair and didn't believe it. "How is it possible? Teacher Qin said before that our homework can be handed in late. We haven't even had half a day off until the holiday. I'll rest first and recharge myself before I can study better."
"You don't believe it? The message page on my phone has not been closed yet. It is hot. Do you want to take a look?" Coach Tan looked at Hong Xiqi from the gap in the frame of his glasses.
"We'll be there soon. Let's pack up and take a rest." Coach Tan turned off the speaker and sat down on the small chair next to the driver.
Hong Xiqi pulled Tao You and complained, "How come the master's wife doesn't keep her word? She promised to pay a few days later, and now she's sending a message to the coach."
"Actually, my boss didn't agree in the end. You can hand in your homework a few days late." Tao You said this fact cruelly.
——————————————————————————————
When Tao You and the others arrived at the venue, it started to rain lightly again. It was overcast and the air was very humid. Training is in full swing inside the stadium.
"I'll go, such a big battle!" Gu Yi opened the stadium gate first and stood there exclaiming.
"Let's take a look."
"Fuck, it's the first time in my life that I've seen so many cameras! It's worth it."
"Mom, am I really going to be on TV?! If I had known, I would have packed up and come back."
"Are we going to live broadcast today? No wonder Coach Tan even dressed up. Wearing these sunglasses on such a dark day is so thoughtful!"
「······」
The team members walked in noisily
site. The air conditioning temperature inside is just right, and once the door is closed, the cold air outside is completely isolated.
All the overhead lights in the stadium were turned on, illuminating every corner, making it even clearer than on a sunny day.
The TV station staff was debugging the machine at the edge of the field.
As expected by Coach Tan, all six venues were occupied, and judging from the crowd, there were at least two school players mixed together.
"Find a place to put your things down and go warm up." Coach Tan ordered quickly.
"Coach Tan, where is there room to put things here?"
The team members looked at the pile of bags piled behind the field and almost had nowhere to put their feet.
Coach Tan hooked his sunglasses down, lowered his head and rolled his eyes at the colorful bags piled up on the ground, then put the sunglasses back on without any intention of taking them off, "Just put them on as you like, just put them on Come on, don't waste time. Hong Xiqi, help us find a venue." He put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the coaches from the other two schools. .z.
"Put it on me!" Hong Xiqi said, patting her chest, then slipped into the crowd and disappeared.
Tao You turned his head and looked around. Apart from the six courts, there were only a few benches next to the referee's bench and no other seats.
"What are you looking at?" Song Yimian also looked around and asked, "Looking for someone?"
Tao You shook his head, "Who can I find? It's just strange, there are no auditoriums here, so how can they come to watch the game?" She was referring to the few people in the class who said they wanted to watch the game.
Song Yimian only thought for a few seconds before he came up with the answer, "The competition will not be held in all venues during the game. Maybe, just watch in the free venues."
"Okay, this has nothing to do with you. Do you want to practice singles or doubles first?" Song Yimian put on his wrist guards and did some stretching exercises.
"Is now the time to consider this?" Tao You looked at the field with embarrassment, worried about the players who might become her opponents in the next game, "Let's grab the field first and then talk about it."
Song Yimian glanced at his watch, "There are still two minutes to three-thirty."
————————————————————————————
"Tao You?"
An uncertain voice appeared behind Tao You.
She turned around, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, and looked at the boy standing in front of her in disbelief, "Ye Haosheng? Why are you here?!"
Song Yimian also looked at that person and looked him up and down for a few seconds. Never seen it, don’t know it.
"Your friend?" he asked Tao You.
"Long time no see." Tao You raised the corner of his mouth, took a few steps forward, and greeted warmly, automatically ignoring Song Yimian's question.
Song Yimian frowned slightly, put the racket under his arm, stood behind Tao You with his arms folded, silently examining the boy who suddenly appeared.
