In the cold winter in Weicheng, almost two-thirds of the time is spent in continuous rain. If you want to see the sun above your head 24 hours a day, you have to wait patiently for those short days of early spring.
In response to that sentence - there is no winter without rain, and spring is also waiting for sunshine.
But then came the continuous spring rain and late spring cold.
Near noon, the familiar dark gray sky outside the window began to appear again, hazy in the air like smoke and fog, and the thick clouds above fluttered with the wind until the sun was completely hidden.
Not long after, there was another cold rain.
During the New Year's Day holiday, there was an endless stream of vehicles on the road, and most of the spectators watching the game were middle school students.
The students are all in a circle, and friends of friends all know each other. Some even made long banners to support their school teams, and uniformly cheered loudly for their school.
The battle must be as exaggerated as possible.
—————————————————————————————————————
The wait for the game is long, but the time flies during the game.
Time seemed to stand still. Tao You felt that he had been waiting for almost three springs and autumns and still couldn't wait for her to play. Song Yimian, who had verbally agreed to Coach Tan and left after delivering the things, had always had a strong sense of presence. Standing forcefully beside her within half an arm's length.
Although her memory is not good, it is not the memory of a fish. The conversation of the previous few minutes is still deeply imprinted in her mind. The area within three meters of the two people is the quietest place in the entire museum. A silent embarrassment lingers between them. All around people.
——Why don’t you compete with me?
Tao You has never been as eager to play as he is now, regardless of the outcome.
Her eyes were wandering, as if she glanced at the crowd not far away casually, and then she glanced at Song Yimian. She saw that he was still looking at leisurely and contentedly enjoying the game, as if the person who just asked the question was not he.
——What should I do if I don’t get tired of looking at this appearance?
The center of gravity gradually shifted, and Song Yimian's expression of concentration on watching the game made Tao You even more bold and bold, staring at Song Yimian's angular and superior side profile many times quickly.
However, the close distance made all small movements magnified in Song Yimian's peripheral vision.
Song Yimian thought that she was not so sensitive to other people's eyes, but she couldn't help but keep looking at her like this.
Is there something dirty on my face?
When Tao You glanced diagonally forward for the tenth time, and then looked at Song Yimian with his eyes...
"You, have something to say to me?" Song Yimian waited for a long time for Tao You to look over again, and finally caught her little move.
The unexpected eye contact broke a certain delicate balance.
Tao You moved his eyes uncomfortably to the two people playing in front of him.
It took her two seconds to stabilize her confused mood after being caught, "No," she put on a forced smile and shook her head in thought, "No."
Song Yimian turned sideways and faced her, with a teasing evil smile on his lips, "Then why are you looking at me?"
"..."
Tao You held his breath in his chest, opened his mouth slightly and couldn't say a word, his face turned as red as liver.
"Huh?" Song Yimian bent down, and a handsome face suddenly appeared in front of Tao You.
The sudden movement stirred up the air around them, and the familiar fragrance of lemon lingered on the tips of their noses.
Tao You unconsciously dilated his pupils, blinked blankly, took two deep breaths greedily, then woke up and took a step back to keep a safe distance, "Just, look at how handsome you are..."
Broken jar, broken jar.
The most dangerous place is the safest place. This saying may not necessarily apply here.
"..."
Song Yimian stared at Tao You blankly, ignoring the smile on his lips.
After Tao You finished speaking, he was the first to become shy. He lowered his head with an erratic expression and played with the threads on his sleeves with two fingers.
Be energetic.
Song Yimian has been told about being handsome by outsiders countless times since he was a child. From being shy at the beginning and not knowing what to do, to now he is in a numb habit and has calluses on his ears.
But when these words came out of Tao You's mouth, they seemed to sound particularly beautiful.
The lingering sound dissipated in the air, but the continuously vibrating molecules tightly surrounded Song Yimian's sensitive auricle, caressing it gently.
His ears were itching for no reason. He raised his hand to rub away the itching. He straightened up unnaturally, turned away from Tao You in unison, and looked forward in unison.
From an angle that Tao You couldn't see, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, spreading bit by bit, and finally pursed his lips to restrain himself.
"Isn't it possible?" Tao You didn't know why he asked this question, but he felt that only by asking confidently in this way could he appear less embarrassed.
"Ahem," he coughed lightly, "Well..." Song Yimian responded softly.
——Are you shy?
The little hint of teasing that popped up in Tao You's mind was cut off by herself before it even sprouted.
"Beep! The fifth game of the third group is over. Thirteen wins." The referee's whistle skillfully held in his mouth shone with dazzling silver under the lights.
The referee climbed down from the high chair briskly.
Coach Tan finished instructing the players in the competition field next door and walked here with his hands behind his back. From a distance, he saw this familiar figure standing out among a group of girls of about the same height.
"Song Yimian?!"
He squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and his steps unconsciously accelerated a bit, causing a gust of wind wherever he passed.
"Why haven't you left yet?! Aren't you tired of standing? You can't sit on the nice chairs up there." Coach Tan said to Song Yimian, his eyes looked at Tao You a few times, and then returned to the girl who was more than half a head taller than him. On boys' faces.
"Didn't you say you were here to give something away? It's been so long, and a group of competitions have been completed, and the delivery hasn't been finished yet?"
Song Yimian's eyes were clear, and except for his red ears, everything looked so normal.
He gestured to the thing in his hand and said very innocently, "This is not what I am holding."
Coach Tan took the clothes, water glass, and racket from his hand, "Okay, you go back quickly. I'll take these. Let's go."
Song Yizhen reluctantly took a step to the side and gave up his seat to Coach Tan. He frowned slightly and asked, "I could stand down there yesterday, why not today?"
Coach Tan raised his chin slightly toward the audience and the cameras not far away, and whispered to Song Yimian, "How many of those who came today are from your school, how many of them know you, and these cameras."
"How did the rumors spread?" Coach Tan hugged the clothes in his arms tightly and refused to let go, "Why are you the only one who comes down? Why don't others come down?"
"If they don't come, that's their business." Song Yimian retorted.
Coach Tan glared at him and said bluntly, "With so many pairs of eyes and so many mouths, if you just go out and say something, even if it's false, you can make it true in two sentences!"
"I know you two have a good relationship," Coach Tan looked back at Tao You. He said this to Song Yimian and to her, "but I can't stop others from thinking, and I can't stop so many people from opening their mouths." It’s nonsense. High school is a sensitive period that all parents and teachers are concerned about. Please keep your distance in public.”
Thanks to the new ideas that his daughter has unilaterally exported to him over the years, he has now changed his old stubborn ideas.
I feel that it is not absolutely impossible to fall in love early without affecting your studies.
After all, every time relatives at home urged his daughter to go on a blind date during the Chinese New Year, his daughter's excuse for being busy with work and not having time turned to being a high-quality boy. She was booked by others as early as when she was in middle school and high school. Let her fall in love, say that this is not good and that is not good, and now let her choose one from the remaining crooked melons and dates. If you want to be so rare, you can divorce yourself. Then he cited a few powerful examples, forcing those gossiping relatives to have nothing to say.
Coach Tan has been teaching for so many years,
Although he is only a physical education teacher, the playground in the dark and the small bamboo forest next to it are the places where young lovers often stay. He has never seen any kind of young lovers, and it is really possible that he has seen more young lovers than all the teachers in the class.
For a child like Song Yimian who has both strength and good looks and a clear mind, he doesn't think that a love affair can easily pull him down.
But he couldn't help but countless mouths pulling him down.
Especially when a school team comes out to compete, it makes sense for the male and female players to keep a certain distance.
After all, every school wants to avoid causing bad things.
"I didn't do it on purpose..."
"Coach!" Tao You suddenly said, taking out his things from Coach Tan's arms, "Sister Tang Hui called me, I, I'll go over first."
After saying that, without waiting for Coach Tan to say anything, Tang Hui walked quickly towards Tang Hui not far away with her head lowered, eager to escape from this place where she dug her toes into the ground and felt embarrassed and suffocated.
Coach Tan turned around and continued to educate Song Yimian, "I'm not against it...it's better to do less than to do more..."
"I got it, let's go." Song Yimian didn't want to continue hearing these truths and nodded irritably.
Before leaving, he also took back a small piece of chocolate that Coach Tan had just taken from Tao You's pocket.
Coach Tan looked at Song Yimian who left neatly and said, "Tsk... stingy."
But his earnest words finally seem to be working...
—————————————————————————————————————
No one seems to have noticed the incident at the back of the field.
There was only a black figure flashing past the door, carrying the same strange smell; and Ding Dongyi, who was sitting in the last row of the auditorium, dressed exquisitely and beautifully, and had been asked for his contact information several times throughout the morning.
When Tao You was halfway through the game, rain began to fall outside the window, silently leaving strings of small water droplets on the glass window.
Hong Xiqi led others to shout at the top of their lungs in the audience.
Other spectators who were unaware of the situation were also moved by the atmosphere and shouted a few times, thinking that some big shot was coming.
This member of Zhuhui Private School has only learned tennis for a short time, so he is naturally no match for Tao You.
In less than half an hour, Tao You won the game five to one.
When she returned to the auditorium while munching chocolate and wiping sweat, Hong Xiqi was seriously browsing some page with her head down.
"What are you looking at?"
"Tsk, I'm going to hurry up and make a sign today, just like the one those students behind me are holding." She pointed behind her, "You can be more powerful and energetic when you shout "come on!"
"I always feel that something is missing here. We just shout with all our strength, and our voices are hoarse. We are not organized at all and have no momentum."
"You can rest. Leave this matter to me. I'll tell Coach Sun about lunch." Hong Xiqi handed Tao You the remaining half of the pack of biscuits, indicating that she didn't have to worry about it.
"We are in the first grade when it comes to saving face, so we must do it right!"
