Tao You hugged his schoolbag to his chest, looked at Gu Yi's confused look and said, "Of course I knew that time."
Song Yimian quickly realized Tao You's question, and then asked, "How many times have you knocked on the door in total?"
Under the gazes of Tao You and Song Yimian, Gu Yi swallowed his saliva and slowly raised a finger, "One, once. I knocked, and you guys came to open the door. What, what's wrong?" Why are you looking at me like that? What happened?" He opened his eyes wide and looked back and forth between Song Yimian and Tao You, thinking that something big had happened.
"Then have you, no, it's nothing..." Tao You raised his eyes, met Gu Yi's gaze behind him, then quickly moved away to look out the window, shook his head and shut up after saying these three words. .
Song Yimian followed Tao You's eyes, turned around and checked the seat belt the next second, and then began to cross his chest with his hands and close his eyes to rest.
"No, you guys are talking. What's going on?" Gu Yi always felt that Tao You had something to say and the most important information hadn't been heard yet. He felt uncomfortable being hung up and down. "Why did you say half of it?" Let’s not talk anymore. This bad habit of both of you is really bad. I sincerely suggest that you change it. Fortunately, I can tolerate it. You have to leave it to others. Tsk, tsk, tsk, you deserve a beating..." He Go on.
"Ah!" As Gu Yi screamed, he covered his head and turned his head, with a hint of annoyance on his face, and his eyes widened, "Who?! Who hit me, Mr. Gu?! I don't want to... .." After seeing who it was, he pursed his lips in time, swallowed the last few words, and the sullen look on his face disappeared.
"What don't you want? Why are you half-finished?" Coach Tan asked in a rough voice, staring at Gu Yi with his hands behind his back.
Gu Yi put down his legs on the chair, shook his head and sat down. When Coach Tan was about to speak again, he reached out and buckled his seat belt, then raised his head and grinned at Coach Tan with a fairly well-behaved smile, as if this was all he needed. As if it can be fooled.
In fact, Coach Tan is so easy to fool.
Coach Tan snorted from his nose and rubbed Gu Yi's head, "Hippy smile."
"Pay attention," Coach Tan once again took out the familiar plastic speaker commonly used in wet markets from behind and put it to his mouth, "I'll say it again, this competition is broadcast live. From the time you get off the car, maybe It has already been broadcast live on TV. When the time comes, don’t rush to the camera and talk nonsense like you have never seen the world. Those people who often use those words as catchphrases..."
"Coach, what words are you referring to? Please speak clearly, why can't I understand you?" A team member asked with a playful smile and raised his hand. Many people below laughed evilly, straightened their backs, and poked their heads out from behind their chairs to look at Coach Tan.
Coach Tan's eyes were like a sharp knife as he looked at the player, "..."
After a burst of laughter, the car gradually became quiet, and Coach Tan continued to speak into the speaker, "You really don't know? You guys usually talk the most. If you don't know, come to my room that night and I'll have a good time with you." He said. If anyone else doesn’t know, you can come with us tonight.”
The team member waved his hands wildly and his expression became serious, "Don't bother, I understand, I understand. Haha, Coach Tan, just kidding to liven up the atmosphere."
"..." Coach Tan withdrew his eyes, "You talk a lot, remember, hold it back for the past few days! Pay attention to your image and quality, wear neat clothes, don't get wrinkled Put on a crumpled suit and get it done. There is an ironing rack in the room. You can iron it before wearing it. If you don’t know how to use it, ask a friend for help, or you can come to me and Coach Sun. You go out to represent us as a whole. All in all..."
Coach Tan kept talking, and many people in the row began to yawn, lean on the backs of their chairs and fall asleep, and even the team members who were eating snacks tried to reduce their voices.
Except for Coach Tan's voice, the rest of the car was quiet.
"Stab it!"
The loudspeaker suddenly made a shrill sound, and everyone was instantly awakened.
Coach Tan looked at the people who were awakened and their eyes were full of confusion, and said speechlessly, "Everyone is so confused."
So sleepy? Didn't you sleep well last night? "
"Cheer up! Don't be listless when you get off the car later. Remember, what you represent is..."
"It's all of us from No. 1 Middle School!"
"It's the entire No. 1 Middle School!"
"All in one school!"
"..."
Before Coach Tan could finish speaking, everyone answered in unison.
Coach Tan put his hands on his hips, "Hey, you... brats, you want to rebel!"
Gu Yi raised his hand, "Old Tan, you have said this no less than a hundred and eighty times, and it has been successfully engraved in our minds. Don't worry. Just like Coach Sun, don't think about anything. Just sit down and squint for a while." good."
Coach Sun, who was sitting in front with his eyes closed and concentrating, felt offended. He suddenly opened his eyes, turned around and asked, "You brat, what do you mean?"
"No, no, no, I mean, Coach Sun, you have a good attitude..." Gu Yixiao said hahaly.
"Who are you talking about here?" Coach Tan's somewhat unpleasant voice reached everyone's ears through the speakers.
Bursts of laughter came, and Gu Yi scratched his scalp in annoyance, and explained a little palely, "Old Tan, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to say that you are too worried, no... I shut up." He felt that nothing he could say was right, so he made a zipper motion on his mouth.
Coach Tan had no intention of continuing, not wanting to embarrass them, so he turned off the speaker and said, "Okay, let's all rest for a while. Don't leave me in this state during the game later." He turned off the speaker and sat back next to the driver. He took a seat, opened the thermos cup and took a sip of tea.
"Hong Xiqi, did you hear another knock on the door this morning?" Tao You thought for a while and asked Hong Xiqi who was watching the drama.
"Huh?" Hong Xiqi came back from the plot, took off one of the earphones, and recalled, "It seems to be there, eh, it seems not to be. I can't remember clearly. I was dreaming at the time, and the roasted whole lamb was already there. When it reached her mouth, she was woken up by Gu Yi." Reminiscent of the aroma of roasted whole lamb, she kicked the back of the chair in front of her unwillingly.
"Is there anyone else knocking on the door?" Hong Xiqi asked as her eyes returned to the screen.
Tao You didn't want to go into details anymore and stuffed a plum into his mouth, "I probably heard it wrong, it's okay."
————————————————————————————
It’s only been one night, and the competition venues have changed drastically. Only three venues are left for competitions. The remaining three have been converted into simple auditoriums, filled with red, yellow, and blue footballs. Plastic chairs. A podium was set up at the front of the venue, and a piece of red cloth was pulled directly above it. On it were written the words "Weicheng High School Tennis Autumn League" in white block letters. The color was bright and the red cloth was complete. It seemed that it was specially made for this year's competition. of.
There are a lot of equipment for live broadcasting set up next to each venue, and drones are hovering above for testing. Staff with work badges have already started busy work.
"Fuck..." Gu Yi entered the field and was about to blurt out the words. Coach Tan, who had been standing by with his ears pricked up, took a picture of his schoolbag and motioned him to look at the camera facing him. , the meaning of the warning is self-evident.
"Oh, my God!" Gu Yi promptly changed his words and said in a very exaggerated tone, "It's only been one night, and there have been such big changes. Oh, God, this is so disappointing." People are surprised!"
"Okay, okay, please stop it. It sounds really uncomfortable to talk like that." Hong Xiqi rubbed the goosebumps that had appeared on her arms.
Tao You slowly followed the team at the back, sizing up the playing field, and stood behind a sign that read 'Weicheng No. 1 Middle School' in big characters.
She put her schoolbag at her feet and looked back curiously at the noisy auditorium behind her.
After just a few glances, she spotted several familiar faces.
Chemistry teacher, those students who said they were coming to watch the competition, the head teacher, Teacher Wen...and, with Bailey
Hat, Ding Dongyi lowered his head to adjust his coat...
——If the junior college exam is not coming soon, why does she still have time to watch the game?
Tao You took a few more glances at Ding Dongyi, who stood out among the crowd, and frowned slightly.
Just when she was debating whether to go forward and say hello to several teachers and classmates, a heartbreaking shout came from the other end of the auditorium.
"Tao You, Tao You!" Yuan Yuzhou, who had not seen him for nearly half a year, stood up and waved wildly at Tao You in the first two rows of the auditorium. Fatty Xiao and Zhang Sanzi, who were sitting next to him, lowered their hat brims in unison and lowered their heads. Pretending not to recognize this yelling person.
——Okay, now I have to say hello even if I don’t want to say hello.
Everyone in the audience, whether they knew him or not, after hearing these two high-pitched shouts, all raised their heads in this direction and looked over curiously.
"Tao You, Tao You! I'm here! Did you see it?!" Seeing that Tao You didn't look at him, Yuan Yuzhou continued to shout as if no one was around.
Tao You raised one hand to cover his face, raised the other hand and waved to him in front of his chest, then turned around and informed Coach Sun, who was standing behind the team, and walked towards the head teacher and others to say hello.
After Yuan Yuzhou said hello to Tao You, he had no intention of ending there. He tried to lean forward and searched for another figure in the team of No. 1 Middle School with his flexible eyes until he found Song Yimian, who was standing at the front of the team. Finally, he changed the direction of his wave, put his other hand to his mouth, and shouted even more excitedly than before, "Idol! Idol! Idol!" His voice even broke.
After hearing Yuan Yuzhou's voice, almost everyone in the audience looked at him.
Hong Xiqi could hear everything clearly even though she was wearing noise-canceling headphones. She put away her phone and looked over. Her eyes lit up and she stretched out her hand to say something to Tao You who had just walked back, "Hey, isn't that Xiao Yuanzi and the others!"
"Little Yuanzi!" Hong Xiqi replied in a familiar voice, pointed to Song Yimian in front of him with understanding, and shouted to Yuan Yuzhou from a distance, "Wait, I'll call your idol over!"
For them, the word "social death" is just like a joke, laughed off. In other words, in their dictionary, the word "social death" does not exist at all.
Hong Xiqi squeezed through the crowd, enthusiastically called Song Yimian at the front of the team, and then took the lead in pulling Tao You towards Yuan Yuzhou and the others.
