Chapter 194 I am also...

Xu Chen sat in the stands, looking down.

Xie Bingran was warming up on the inside of the track. She and her teammates were running towards the starting line with their backs to Xu Chen.

They jogged for a while and then stopped, still walking quickly on the inside of the track.

Everyone has a unique way of walking and running, and as we grow older, we can still see the shadow of the original.

There is no need to confirm the face of a familiar person. Even if their figure has changed, they can still be recognized at a glance from their posture...

The way Xie Bingran walks is actually the same as the petite and thin girl she was in junior high school.

Now that I think about it, the skinny and introverted girl back then now walks with a fierce and aggressive vigor...

Xie Bingran and others quickly walked to the sidelines, turned into the rest area, and disappeared from sight.

Huang Qianqian pursed her lips:
"I can't see Brother Bing again."

Wu Feifei: "She should go change her clothes. Is it almost time for the waiting period to start?"

Xu Zhiquan sat down next to Xu Chen without knowing when, and raised his arm to hold his son's shoulders:

"You were so busy looking at Xie Bingran that you didn't even say hello to your father?"

Xu Chen laughed, “Hehe.”

He rummaged through the bag behind him and pulled out a pack of snacks wrapped in an exquisite box.

I bought this at the dim sum stall on the first floor when I left Yangcheng Restaurant yesterday.

Xu Chen opened the box, revealing a number of exquisite round cookies.

"Dad, try it! I think you'll like this!"

Xu Zhiquan smiled, picked up a piece and broke it open, and found that there was a brown-red filling inside, but he couldn't tell what it was.

He put it in his mouth and chewed it, but his face was distorted and painful.

"It's neither salty nor sweet, and the taste is so weird!"

Xu Chen smiled and said nothing.

Xu Zhiquan chewed twice more and said:

"You know what... this tastes quite delicious!"

As he spoke, he had already picked up two more pieces in his hand:

"What's this called?"

Xu Chen: "Wife cake."

Xu Zhiquan: “…”

In Xu Chen's previous life, his father Xu Zhiquan's business went bankrupt, so he went to work in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province.

One year during the Spring Festival, Xu Zhiquan had to work overtime at the factory, so Xu Chen took a hard seat on a train for a day and a night to go to Dongguan to celebrate the New Year with his father.

In a small rental house, Xu Chen saw his father again after a year and found that he had lost a lot of weight.

Xu Zhiquan took out a box of wife cakes from the cabinet and said happily:
"Son, try this strange sweet cookie from the south. I think it tastes good even though I've eaten a lot of it."

……

At this moment.

Xu Zhiquan was holding the box of wife cakes and sharing them with Director Feng, Wu Feifei and others behind him, and he did not forget to show off loudly:

“My son bought it for me!”

Looking at his father's back, Xu Chen couldn't help but feel some emotion and relief.

The person is still the same person, and the cake is still the same cake.

But the situational stories vary greatly.

……

……

Gold Rush subway station.

Li Rui, Zhao Feng and more than twenty others rushed to the subway entrance.

After they arrived in Guangzhou, they took the booked bus to the sports center, but unexpectedly encountered a huge traffic jam.

After being stuck on the viaduct for more than half an hour, Li Rui and his companions were already extremely anxious. Unfortunately, they were not allowed to get off the viaduct, otherwise Li Rui would have wanted to jump off the car a long time ago.

The bus finally got off the elevated road, but after less than two kilometers in the city, it got stuck again near the Garden Hotel.

Unable to move.

Afterwards, Wu Yue contacted Fang Jun, and they got off the bus and prepared to take the subway to the sports center.

……

Subway entrance.

There were too many people on the escalator, so everyone quickly ran down the stairs, but they couldn't avoid bypassing and bumping into pedestrians on the stairs.

Administrative director Wu Yue was a little out of breath, but still followed closely behind.

When they arrived at the subway hall, they saw huge crowds of people everywhere. Among them were many tall black people and bearded Persians. When they passed by each other, they could smell the strong and pungent smell of perfume.

There were two large black communities near the gold rush, which posed considerable challenges to Guangzhou’s public security management in those years.

As for the Middle Eastern people, most of them are businessmen doing foreign trade in Guangzhou...

Li Rui looked around and frowned.

Just buying tickets and queuing for security check here will probably take more than ten minutes...

Zhao Feng said:

"I'm not very optimistic! I didn't know the subway would be so crowded!"

Cheng Yong: "What should I do? It looks like I can't catch up!"

Wu Yue had already walked up and said:

"Hurry up! It's too late!"

Li Rui: "Sister Yue, how far did you say it was to the stadium?"

Wu Yue: "It's about four or five kilometers! We have to change stations halfway through the subway! Even after we exit Tiyuxi Station, we still have to walk a distance to get there."

Li Rui glanced at the wall clock at the ticket office next to him and walked to the information desk without saying a word.

When he turned around, he had several maps of Guangzhou in his hands.

He spread out a map and said to Wu Yue:

"Tianhe Stadium, this is it?"

Wu Yue nodded.

Li Rui waved his hand, and more than twenty people surrounded him instantly.

Brother Rui said nothing and handed the maps in his hand to the people in front of him.

“Divide into three groups. The fastest group will follow me. There should be at least ten people!
The middle group followed Brother Feng, and the slower ones followed Cheng Yong...

Leave two people behind and follow Sister Yue to take the subway!"

More than twenty brothers responded at the same time.

Some people had already squatted down and were rearranging their shoelaces and trouser legs.

Wu Yue wiped the sweat off his face:
"What...are you going to do?"

Li Rui explained:

"It would be too late to take the subway. It would take more than 30 minutes to get there. We have to queue up to buy tickets and go through security. We may have to queue up again when we transfer to other stations. It would take another hour... It's only four or five kilometers. We can definitely make it in time if we run!"

Wu Yue: “…”

She found it incredible. This was four or five kilometers long, not to mention the hot weather outside...

Li Rui raised his hand, and immediately ten people surrounded him and followed him.

Zhao Feng and Cheng Yong also raised their hands, and the rest of the people were quickly divided into groups.

Li Rui glanced at Wu Yue and was about to pick two people when Wu Yue said:

"Don't worry about me, I'll just take the subway slowly!
Then hurry up and be safe on the road! "

She thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute... help me..."

As he spoke, Wu Yue took off the shoulder bag, took out a few dozen yuan from the wallet inside and stuffed it into his pocket, then handed the bag to Li Rui:
"There are some banners and materials inside. Also, I heard that the security in Guangzhou is not good. I'm afraid my bag will be stolen..."

Li Rui nodded: "I'll take it and give it to Sister Yue when I get there."

As he said this, he waved his hand and led a group of people to run quickly towards the stairs at the subway entrance.

Zhao Feng said in a deep voice: "We should try our best to keep up with Brother Rui and the others!"

The person next to him responded, turned around and quickly followed.

……

……

Tianhe Stadium.

The host on site began to announce:
"The event that will be held soon is also the most watched event this morning, the women's 100-meter hurdles final..."

Xu Chen glanced at the time on his phone, then turned to look at Fang Jun who was standing next to him.

Fang Jun held the phone in his hand and shook his head at Xu Chen.

Feng Siliang looked back at the empty seats and said to Xu Chen in the front row:

"Teacher Xiao Xu, we have to activate the record!"

Xu Chen smiled and comforted:
"Don't panic, I've already contacted Teacher Chen Ming. He has found a dozen members of the provincial team who are not participating in the competition today. They can come right over if you call them!
Let's wait for Brother Bing to go to the track. If Li Rui and the others haven't arrived yet, we can start making arrangements...

There’s still time!”

Feng Siliang frowned, obviously a little anxious.

Wu Feifei beside him couldn't stand it anymore and said:
"Director Feng, since Xu Chen said there is no problem, then there is no problem. Don't worry about it for now. Just follow the rhythm and execute it."

Feng Siliang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Okay... let's follow Teacher Xu's arrangements!"

Xu Chen looked down at his phone and sent the same text message to Li Rui and Zhao Feng respectively:

"Don't panic, safety first.

We have a plan here, so it doesn’t matter if we can’t make it in time.”

……

……

About seven or eight minutes passed.

The huge LED screen above the stands began playing replays of the previous women's 100-meter hurdles preliminaries.

"Look, Brother Bing!" Huang Qianqian pointed at the big screen with excitement.

Xu Chen looked up and saw Xie Bingran's camera flash by.

But her cool and sassy figure is impressive in an instant...

The host's announcement was heard again:
"Dear audience members in the stadium and in front of the TV, the women's 100-meter hurdles final is about to begin!"

"Feng Youping, the gold medalist of the last Asian Games and a famous track and field athlete, will be on the track again today! Having dominated the domestic 100-meter hurdles track for nearly a decade, can this legendary veteran continue his glory today..."

"Chen Lan, the bronze medalist of the last Asian Games, has reached her peak form. Can this herald the next era of the women's 100-meter hurdles?"

……

On the stands of Area 12, Teacher Chen Ming walked over quickly.

He sat next to Xu Chen and whispered:
"Everyone has been arranged, call me up if you need me!"

……

Huang Qianqian was the first to call out, "Brother Bing!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the finalists already on the track.

Xie Bingran, wearing black shorts and a blue and white sports vest, walked onto the seventh track in a cool and stylish manner.

Bai Miao followed Xie Bingran and stood on the eighth track...

Xu Chen saw Xie Bingran from afar and couldn't help but smile.

After not seeing him for a while, I feel that Brother Bing's body lines have become more neat and muscular.

Of course, it's the better looking one...

Wu Feifei was lost in thought. She thought for a moment and whispered:

“Is this what youth feels like?”

……

Feng Siliang stood up and looked towards the venue:
"The photographer is in place. He can take pictures of Xie Bingran and us at the same time."

Xu Chen stood up: "Then let's not wait any longer!"

Teacher Chen Ming nodded, took out his cell phone and sent a text message.

Within a minute or two, more than a dozen members of the provincial team rushed up and went directly to the stands behind Xu Chen and others.

Feng Siliang looked back at the scene, smiled and felt relieved.

Xu Chen took out two banners from his backpack.

Teacher Chen Ming quickly helped and held up the banner.

……

On the track.

Xie Bingran was half-crouching on the ground, placing the starting blocks.

Bai Miao beside him timidly called out, "Brother Bing..."

Xie Bingran turned his head and saw Bai Miao pointing forward.

Brother Bing looked up.

Two banners were put up on the opposite stands.

One reads “Tiancheng Friends and Family Group”.

Another reads:

"Brother Bing, I miss you so much in Tiancheng"...

……

Xie Bingran was in a daze.

The strands of hair on her forehead swayed in the breeze.

Then, she saw that familiar figure and that warm smiling face that she couldn't see clearly but could imagine.

Xie Bingran pursed his lips and whispered to himself:
"I miss you too..."
