Kang Yi gradually lost his patience and cursed silently through gritted teeth.

While fierce competition was going on in the three competition venues, the team members who were not participating in the competition had already lined up in several corners to receive lunch boxes in front of the boxes with the names of their respective schools, and then found seats in groups of twos and threes to sit down.
"No, the lunch meal is normal, why is it so light at night? This is because we are afraid that what we eat will be unclean." Gu Yi picked up the small green vegetables in the lunch box, which were so light that almost no oil or water could be seen. There was no visible chicken nugget in the stewed chicken with potatoes, the cold cucumber and ground three delicacies were quite generous, and there was also a clear bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup.
Hong Xiqi took off her chopsticks, put all the chicken in her box to Hong Xiqi, and said very thoughtfully, "Here you go, I won't eat chicken, you can eat it and be full."
Gu Yi looked at the extra chicken nuggets in his box and was confused. How could she be so considerate?
He bit his chopsticks and tilted his head in confusion, squinting at Hong Xiqi and reluctant to take off his chopsticks.
Hong Xiqi seemed to be worried that he wouldn't have enough to eat. She pulled out half of the rice as if to share it with Gu Yi, "You won't be able to eat such a small amount of rice. I can't finish it and it's a waste. Here it is for you. All for you. Cold salad." Cucumbers are not bad, here you go..."
Gu Yi cleverly turned sideways and said, "Wait a minute, when did you have such a small appetite?"
"Are you holding back something bad again?"
Hong Xiqi shook her head calmly, blinked her black and white eyes, and said very sincerely, "No, I just had enough snacks and the cup of milk tea just now."
Gu Yi held his chopsticks in his mouth and protected his lunch box with both hands. He weighed it a few times to see if there was any truth in Hong Xiqi's words.
"Okay, give it to me." He compromised. The small amount of food in the lunch box was indeed not enough for him, but if he asked for another lunch box and couldn't finish it, it would be a waste.
Hong Xiqi gave Gu Yi most of the food in her box without thinking. When he was almost done eating, she blinked slyly and asked, "Are you full?"
Gu Yi stretched his neck and swallowed the chewy rice. He took a sip of water and nodded, "I've chewed enough...what's your expression?"
Hong Xiqi's arrogant look made him feel something in his head, "You didn't eat much in the afternoon. You almost consumed it when you were jumping around and shouting for cheers." , you’ll be full if you just eat this much now, are you sure?”
"Is there a midnight snack tonight?" He hesitated to express his guess.
Hong Xiqi chewed the end of her chopsticks, glanced at Gu Yi guiltily a few times, smiled, remained silent, lowered her head and finished the last bite of rice in her box, then quickly stood up and threw away the empty box.
"..."
Not speaking meant acquiescence. Gu Yi suddenly felt that the remaining cold food in the box was difficult to swallow, and his stomach was full.
"I really guessed it?! What kind of late night snack? Where did you get the news?" Gu Yi clenched his teeth. If he had known that there was a late night snack, who would have eaten this box lunch.
Faced with Gu Yi's cannibalistic look, Hong Xiqi hesitated for a while and finally said, "Oh, I just heard what the people in the hotel told me when I was having breakfast."
"The game ends late, so I'm prepared...the buffet supper, I heard...is quite sumptuous." Hong Xiqi bit her nails after finishing speaking.
Gu Yi's eyes were shocked, and he was furious, "Why didn't you tell me about such a good thing earlier?!"
"Hong Xiqi, you are so ungrateful." He said aggrievedly, his eyes drooped, his wet eyes with an innocent look blinking, and the corners of his mouth were about to turn down uncontrollably.
"Alas, don't be like this," Hong Xiqi felt weak when she saw him like this, "It's not a bad thing if you know this now. I haven't told anyone, not even Xiao Youyou knows about it."
"You finish your meal quickly now, and then you can walk for a while, move around, and work hard to cheer for Xiao Youyou and the other team members. You can still have a meal when you go back." She kindly gave Gu Yi some advice.
.
"..." Gu Yi calmed down all his expressions for a second and laughed silently, "You're quite a nice person."
Hong Xiqi waved her hand cheerfully, pretending to be silly and laughing, "It's a small matter."
Gu Yi lowered his head and glanced at the food that had no heat at all. He wanted to slam it on the ground, but he felt sorry for the food. "Then should I eat it or not?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he finished the meal in a few mouthfuls and drank the last two mouthfuls of soup. "The food cooked by the aunt in the school cafeteria is better than this. The cooking skills of our partners this year are not very good."
"..."
—————————————————————————————————————
Off the field, Kang Yi could already feel the discomfort in her calf, but she still gritted her teeth and did not dare to have any doubt in her steps, but cold sweat kept breaking out on her forehead.
She doesn't want to lose, she can't lose.
She was unwilling to lose to Tao You, a novice who had only trained in the system for less than two years. She could not afford to lose face; the coach and the school could not explain it.
She is still waiting to use her competition ranking to offset the credits deducted for previous crimes. She wants to graduate, escape from school, escape from that dirty "home", and escape from the city.
Then change your name.
She was looking forward to a new life in the future, and the idea of struggling out of the current quagmire had been growing in her mind for nearly ten years.
Over the years, she has saved a lot of money playing wildball and working part-time, enough to support travel expenses and living expenses for at least half a year in the future.
Now it's hard to reach the goal...
She can't fall short...
When she thought about what Song Yimian had just said, she felt a sharp twitch in her lower abdomen.
She was already so careful, but people still found out about it. Ding Ziming saw it, and Song Yimian, a student in No. 1 Middle School, also knows about it now. I don’t know how many people will know about it in the future, and how many people are waiting to see her digest it. .
Fear, regret, jealousy, hate, several complex emotions were intertwined and fused together, piercing her heart so densely that it hurt so much that she almost forgot to breathe.
The thought of escaping became even stronger, and she couldn't bear it even for a second.
Naturally, Tao You could not have guessed that Kang Yi would be thinking about so many things during the competition. All she felt was Kang Yi's increasingly aggressive moves, as if he wanted to vent out all the old resentment that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time.
What she has to do is to quietly drag it out, and then find an opportunity to win the game in one fell swoop.
Facts have proved that although Coach Tan’s method is a bit rogue, it works really well.
By the beginning of the third game, she had already won three games from Kang Yi using this method.
And for now, it seems that Kang Yi is not aware of his own problem, as if he has fallen into a mental swamp, and is getting deeper and deeper, with no time to think carefully about anything else.
It's just that Kang Yi's increasingly aggressive approach was too much for Tao You. She was literally running around the field, panting, and never closing her mouth.
Kang Yi felt pain in his body and in his heart. Seeing that Tao You kept slowing down the pace of the game and wasting his energy and patience, he also started playing slow ball, thinking that he could take a break and relieve the discomfort in his calf.
pity.
Her move, in Tao You's opinion, gave her a huge opportunity.
"It's time." Coach Tan looked excited from behind and unconsciously said what was in his heart. He made a fist with his right hand and kept tapping the palm of his left hand, waiting for the exciting moment.
Tao You gathered all the strength in his body, stepped back to a suitable position, kicked off his feet, relaxed his right arm as much as possible, and connected his right arm to the racket to form a chain with perfect adhesion. He threw his right hand out like a whip, and the racket moved in mid-air. Create a perfect arc.
Hit the ball!
Perfect high voltage smash!
"Yes!" Coach Tan was so excited that he even said something in English, "You are worthy of being the apprentice I taught you."
Song Yimian's impression of Coach Tan was refreshed again, "That's because of her own efforts."
The result of force. ” He looked proudly at Tao You who had successfully transformed on the court and was filled with confidence.
Kang Yi kicked off his right leg, ran two steps, and threw himself unwillingly to save the ball.
The coach of Sepak Takraw No. 6 Middle School stood up anxiously, with a hint of worry on his brow.
The audience also fell silent, waiting for these few seconds.
"Ah!" Just when he was about to touch the ball, Kang Yi suddenly fell to the ground, screamed, and the racket fell to the ground.
The flying ball bounced off the edge of the racket and flew away before her bloodshot eyes.
But at this time, Kang Yi could no longer care about the flying ball and the outcome of the game.
She hunched over, bent her right leg to cover it, wrinkled her face in great pain, and several moans of pain escaped from her bitten lips.
Hearing the sound, he knew the injury was serious.
"It hurts so much!"
"I go!"
"It's too cruel. I want to win at the risk of my life. Now all the results of the previous competition are invalid."
"What a pity. It looks like the injury is very serious. I will definitely miss this match. I just don't know if it will affect my future tennis career."
"That's right, how old are you?"
"She really deserves it, and the coach is not a good person. She was already feeling uncomfortable during the break, and the referee also asked about it. If she wants to insist on playing, she should have thought about and accepted the result like this."
"It's a pity. I was really looking forward to the remaining three games. The competition between two evenly matched people is interesting. Come on, go home. Come back tomorrow."
"..."
The audience reacted violently first, discussing, taking photos, videotaping, packing up and leaving, and everything in between.
The referee reacted quickly and called the medical staff over the intercom. He quickly climbed out of the chair, squatted next to Kang Yi, and asked carefully, "Kang Yi, how do you feel now? Where is the injury? Where is the pain? The medical staff is here. Just be patient for a little bit. Don't worry, these medical staff are very professional."
The coach of Tengqiao No. 6 Middle School also came over and asked, "What's going on?" He looked down at Kang Yi who was lying on the ground with an accusatory tone, as if he didn't really care about Kang Yi's injury, but blamed her for not living up to expectations. .
The medical staff came very quickly and surrounded Kang Yi. While questioning Kang Yi, they made emergency judgments professionally.
"Now it is suspected that the right calf muscle is strained. How serious is it? You need to be sent to the hospital. You guys, carry the stretcher and fix it. You say hello to the ambulance first and wait at the door." The captain of the medical team said in an orderly manner. Judge and give orders, and then take your time and do the job at hand.
Tao You also walked to Kang Yi, not approaching, just standing at the outermost edge.
She looked down at Kang Yi's wrinkled, pale face in silence.
I didn't expect this game to end so suddenly.
With this method.
