growing up

Ling Chao looked at him for two seconds, and didn't go any further, no matter what the "but" was, he didn't care.

Both of them stood there silently. The people behind were obviously much worse than the two of them. There was no suspense about the final result, but they still had to wait until the end of the competition.

The final result of the long jump competition - Lingchao is first, Luo Tianxiang is second, and the third is a junior in the first year of high school.After the recorder made good records and congratulated them, the long jump competition was successfully concluded.

Luo Tianxiang left surrounded by his group of followers, and the rest of the first class also came to congratulate Ling Chao.The 200-meter competition in the front playground is not over yet, and the 400-meter short circuit will be held in the back playground after 10 minutes.

The long jump doesn't actually consume much physical strength, but Ling Chao and Gu Yuan went to find an open space on the edge of the playground to sit down and rest, waiting for the 400-meter race to start.

The high jump on the other side was still going on, and the surrounding area was full of onlookers.There were cheers and cheers one after another, it was very lively.

The two sat quietly, after a while, Gu Yuan put Ling Chao's coat on him.

"You really haven't participated in such an event before?" Ling Chao asked him.

"Yes." Gu Yuan replied.

"It's actually quite fun." Ling Chao said, "The school I went to used to have many sports competitions every year. The sports meeting was held for a week, unlike No. [-] Middle School, which only lasted for two days."

"Really?" Gu Yuan turned his head: "Do you like such activities?"

"I like it." Ling Chao looked at him and said, "I really enjoy such a lively atmosphere. Have I told you about my family?"

"No." Gu Yuan said.

"My parents are very busy. When I was young, there were only my grandparents and my aunt who took care of me. Later, my grandparents stopped staying at our house, and it was just me and my aunt." Ling Chao looked ahead and put his hands on Qu On the knees raised: "So I spend most of my time outside of class in the martial arts gym. In fact, I have no interest in anything other than Sanda. Like most boys like ball games, I don't like it. But this kind of running and jumping Yes, it can be regarded as my daily Sanda training. My grades are not as good as those of the professional ones, but I am not bad among my classmates. I will apply for a lot of them in every sports meeting, although I don’t get all the rankings,” Ling Chao stopped as he said Smiled, the expression was not a happy one, anyway, there was a trace of helplessness: "But I like this kind of feeling very much, I think it is very good to be a group of people together, which is different from a group of people in a classroom. .”

Gu Yuan looked at Ling Chao, this gentle and patient person who always had a smile on his face, why did he feel a little... how to describe it?lonely?Yeah?

After Ling Chao finished speaking, he raised his head and drank up the water in his hand, and waited for a while before standing up.

"The game is about to start, let's go there!" Ling Chao looked at Gu Yuan who was still sitting on the ground and asked.

Gu Yuan also stood up, patted the dirt behind him: "Let's go."

Ling Chao put on the clothes on his body and walked forward.

"Brother Chao." Gu Yuan called him from behind.

"Ah?" Ling Chao stopped and turned his head.

"From now on, I'll stay with you." Gu Yuan suddenly laughed.

Heart, violently accelerated, thumping.Ling Chao froze there for a while before realizing what Gu Yuan was talking about.

He could feel that Gu Yuan didn't have any unreasonable thoughts when he said this sentence, he just said it naturally, expressing the literal meaning.

He probably just thought that he felt a little lonely, since he was farther away from his parents now, and needed to be accompanied by friends, then he was the friend who was willing to accompany him.

But when I heard this sentence, I really couldn't calm down.In his life, no one has ever said such a thing to him, not even his parents who love him the most.

Warm heat waves burst from the bottom of my heart and spread to my whole body.The feeling of heart palpitations was very strong, he wanted to hug the person in front of him, but he could only hold back with all his might.There was a little heat in the eyes, Ling Chao raised his head and took a deep breath, and he returned to normal when he lowered his head.

He patted Gu Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Okay."

Some words, now is still not the time to say it.He can't lose Gu Yuan because of this, whether it's a friend or anything else, he can't.

15-year-old Gu Yuan, who has never had a single friend except his younger sister, in his heart, meeting Ling Chao and becoming friends with Ling Chao is already something he cherishes very much.He didn't know that some words he said casually could make Ling Chao's heart flutter.That was just his truest thought.He is not good at words, but he is willing to speak out what is in his heart to Ling Chao.Use the most basic language to express the purest feelings.

When Lingchao won the first place again in the 400 meters, the class WeChat group exploded.Students who hadn't joined the group today were also pulled in by others, and almost everyone in the class gathered together.

Everyone was cheering as if they had achieved this result.One day today, class one actually had three firsts, one second, and one third.Wang Tian was third in the 200-meter sprint, and Zhang Cheng was second in the high jump.Although Wang Xiaoxiao's first place still needs to be determined after tomorrow's finals, but there is no running away.For them, such sports meeting results are really a miracle, but Ling Chao, the creator of the miracle, has a calm face.

The last event on the first day was the relay race, which took the longest time. The girl group in the class only ran No.13. The boys did well last year, but this year there were many strong players on the field due to the freshman year of senior high school. In the end, only I took No.5.But it is also a good result.

The first day of the sports meeting ended in this way. When the classroom was assembled, every student's face was full of excitement.Because there is no need for evening self-study these two days, the day students also packed their things and went home early.

Today is indeed a happy day. In the evening, Ling Chao was much happier when he was at home videoing with his parents.

He has participated in so many school sports meetings, and the sports meeting of No. [-] Middle School is the shortest.There are not many competitions, not many contestants, and the time is so short.But he thought it was his favorite sports meeting ever.

Moreover, Gu Yuan will run with him in the final long-distance race tomorrow.He remembered the words that Gu Yuan said that day - just run down the longest one with you.If he didn't participate, Gu Yuan probably wouldn't have participated.

With this excitement and anticipation, on this day, Ling Chao went to bed early and slept soundly, without even the dream he had been having the past few days.All night long.

The next morning, the whole class gathered on the badminton court to watch Wang Xiaoxiao's game. Class [-] didn't sign up for table tennis, so naturally no one went to watch.Watching the opponent being beaten by Wang Xiaoxiao, although there is no suspense, it is also enjoyable to watch.

At the end of the competition, Class One won the first place in the three events.Chen Yu said that he was treating guests, and the group decided to go to a restaurant outside for dinner at noon.Ling Chao and Gu Yuan were naturally among them, and a dozen or so people walked together, which was very lively.

"I think there is still hope for our class leader running! Both Ling Chao and Gu Yuan participated." Wang Tian said with a sigh of relief as he leaned back in his chair after eating.

"Yeah, last time I saw you two running, the speed and the relaxed look after the run, few people can achieve it." A girl who was not very familiar with said.

"Let's do our best." Ling Chao was a little embarrassed, for he had heard too many compliments in the past two days.

"I will definitely win the first place. Anyway, I ran once last year and almost lost half of my life. Both of you ran 4000 meters with ease." Chen Yu said.

"I'll bring you water at the finish line later." Wang Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "I'll pull a few more girls from our class to wait at the finish line, and your boys will cheer on the side of the runway. We need to have momentum."

"Yes!" "Okay!" "No problem!" Several people followed suit.

"Then it's settled. I'll go buy water in a while. Haha!" Wang Xiaoxiao laughed.

A group of people also laughed, and Gu Yuan sat next to Ling Chao, looking at these classmates who hadn't been together for a long time, he felt that he gradually liked the life he had now.

Warm and fun.

Comfortable and happy.

Although he still doesn't take the initiative to speak, he only answers when someone asks.

But it is very different from the state of being isolated and used to being isolated forever.

None of these classmates would dislike him because he was silent, nor would they envy him because of his good grades.He will not intentionally keep him isolated from their world, but will ask him if he wants to be together in any group activities.

The shot put and javelin in the class were also participated in, and the results were only at the middle level.However, during the competition of each event, the whole class will be there to cheer for the students in the competition, at least the momentum is still very strong.

At 03:30 in the afternoon, the headmaster's running race will start soon.The school radio notifies all participating students to go to the side of the track for inspection.Chen Yu, Wang Tian and the others accompanied Ling Chao and Gu Yuan.Wang Xiaoxiao prepared glucose-washed water for them to drink first, and then took a few good girls to wait at the finish line, while other students scattered around the track.

The weather today is very good, it was still warm and sunny at noon, but the temperature is not too high now, it is a very suitable weather for long-distance running.

Because all the classes in the first and second grades participated, forty or fifty contestants gathered together and it was very lively.The referee held the horn and told everyone to check in order according to grade and shift.Class 22 and Class [-], the students who had done the inspection and received their number plates began to warm up on the side of the track.

Almost every class in the school has only two students. Ling Chao's number plate is 23, and Gu Yuan's number is 24.

"Damn it! That Luo Tianxiang really lingers!" Wang Tian said suddenly with his voice suppressed.

"What?" Ling Chao, who was pressing his legs, looked up at him and asked.

"Then." Wang Tian raised his head and motioned to the inspection office: "Didn't you see him running a long-distance race last year? This year, no one in their class ran? He actually came."

Ling Chao withdrew his lowered legs and stood up, turned his head and looked, Luo Tianxiang was writing with his head down.Next to him was a boy he didn't know.

"We can't stop him from participating in the competition, can we?" Ling Chao turned around and said.

"That's true." Wang Tian frowned but said helplessly.

"Keep away from him when you two are running." Chen Yu, who had been silent by the side, said suddenly, "I've seen this guy play basketball very fiercely, and if he gets in his way, don't care who you are. People are a common thing. Yesterday you competed with him in the long jump alone, but now the long-distance running is different. There are so many people running together, maybe he will make some small moves."

Gu Yuan also stopped warming up, squinted his eyes and looked at the inspection office.Luo Tianxiang just finished the inspection, so he stood there and asked someone to pin his number plate on his back.His eyes met Gu Yuan's, and he whistled lightly at Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan turned a blind eye to Luo Tianxiang's provocation.He just looked at him like this, with a calm expression on his face.
