"Running is a sport for couples."

When Wang Hongbo said this, there was an expression between envy and jealousy on his face, and every time his emotions turned to evil or to good, his facial muscles would change to varying degrees. distortion. "Brother Lian," he said sourly at Xie Lian with his face that could be expanded into an [-]-word composition, "You said we are lonely, why should we suffer like this?"

Xie Lian smiled inscrutably at first, and after picking himself out from the "two of us" in his heart, he uncontrollably showed some pity in his eyes, and the object he gave was self-evident.

"This is still a competition!" Wang Hongbo was so nervous that he didn't realize that he had been pitied for a moment.He stretched his neck to watch the 50-meter race of the second group of seniors in the southeast corner of the playground, and said cynically, "Look at the finish line, there are a bunch of girls waiting for their boyfriends. Damn, if there are girls waiting in front I, I must have rushed forward like chicken blood, and I can’t justify it if I don’t perform supernormally. It’s great for these boys to kiss and hug babies after they run past the finish line. We have nothing after we run. Oh, there are still , the four of us sweaty old men can smile and praise each other... It's so damn good!"

"There's a lot of nonsense." Xie Lian stretched out his hand and pushed him forward, "Go forward, it's time for your inspection."

The person in front of the queue had already left at some point, and the person in charge of the inspection looked at Wang Hongbo through the empty seats of three or four people, and impatiently knocked on the table with his hand, meaning that you idiots should stop being dazed.Wang Hongbo hurriedly grabbed the number cloth and took two steps forward, "Here we come."

It was his turn to be next, Xie Lian finally began to slowly put the number plate on his chest.Suddenly, a force was exerted on his shoulders.

He turned around.The dark-skinned boy patted him on the shoulder with a hearty smile, "Xie Lian, I remember you haven't run a relay before, have you?"

Xie Lian stretched his shoulders, and freed his shoulders without changing his face. "So how dare you let me take the place this time," he smiled, "—it's still the last shot."

"I believe you. You are so good at sports. Yes, you are also the first in the long jump in the morning, right? Anyway, after you receive the baton, you can perform normally and run forward. There must be no problem! Except for Yuan Zheng and his class, the ones drawn this time, Nothing else works, going to the finals is just like playing.”

Wang Hongtao had just finished the inspection, walked around in a circle from the front, and said casually, "What normal performance, Brother Lian might show us an extraordinary performance today."

Are you performing supernormally?

Xie Lian stood on the plastic track, looking at the iron railings on the edge of the playground with squinting eyes.

He suddenly turned his head and asked the boys on the track next to him, "Yuan Zheng, what time is it?".

"I don't know, it's probably after four o'clock?" Yuan Zheng jumped twice on the spot, "Why did your class send you to run the last club? Wasn't it all that one before, just the one with a little long hair... Hey, that one Who's here?"

It's past four.

Xie Lian looked into the distance again.After confirming that there was no one outside the railing that blocked the school from the outside world, he stroked his neck irritably, and said in an impatient tone, "Then someone sprained his ankle."

"Oh, then your class is in danger this time. He was the only one who could compete with me for the first place before."

The starting gun sounds.

Feeling the tremor of the ground, Xie Lian leaned forward slightly.He left most of the things in his eyes where they were, and took back some of the remaining alms to the track behind him. Only when he tilted his head, did Yuan Zheng pick up some fallen debris.

"Yuan Zheng, you talk a lot of nonsense."

The moment he crossed the finish line, Xie Lian heard a clear "grass" from Yuan Zheng who was only one step ahead of him.

Xie Lian ran two steps forward according to the inertia. During the announcement of the ranking of the four-by-one-hundred relay team of the senior three group, he turned around panting heavily, and subconsciously looked at the side of the school railing.

Still empty.

The palms were clenched quickly, and the wet palms were scratched with white marks by the nails.Xie Lian licked the chapped crack at the corner of his mouth, the wound was stimulated by the infiltration of saliva, and the wound was throbbing to show its existence.

"Yes, Xie Lian!"

The remaining three in the group walked towards him.Before the happy Wang Hongtao could say anything else, Xie Lian grabbed his arm with a strange expression, and said in a deep voice, "What time is it?"

"Ah?" Monk Zhang Er, Wang Hongtao, was puzzled, "I don't understand, I don't have my phone with me."

"He said he would come." Xie Lian said in a low voice.

Wang Hongbo didn't hear clearly, "What?"

But Xie Lian stopped talking.He was still out of breath, so Wang Hongbo saw that when the person in front of him raised his eyes, his own shadow floated up and down in the dark pupils, like a black sea, ready to engulf him at any time.He somehow felt a little creepy.

"Oh, I, I'll ask the teacher!" He quickly turned his head and shouted at the nearest referee teacher, "Mr. Li, what time is it?"

"It's almost 04:30. The final starts at [-]:[-], don't forget."

"Thank you, teacher!"

"Okay," another fair, tall and thin boy in the group said, "Let's hurry back to class and drink some water, take a break and go to the inspection."

Xie Lian silently followed behind the three of them.

He thought of the sweet smelling kitchen yesterday. Amidst the noise of the smoking machine, Jiang was also in his arms, blushing, stammering that he had an activity class this afternoon, and he could go out to see him. the match of.

"Are you in the four-five o'clock relay race?" Jiang Ye lowered his head at the time, as if he was embarrassed to look at him, "What a coincidence, I, I happened to have an activity class at that time. Isn't your school playground next to the sidewalk outside?" , I can watch you run through the railing! I will definitely be there on time, four o'clock...four o'clock, right? Xie Lian, you have to wait for me."

Xie Lian stopped suddenly.

Wang Hongbo turned his head, "What's wrong?"

Xie Lian stood where he was, and suddenly felt pain all over his body.He found that he was not suitable for sprinting after all, even if Jiang had taught him, it was still not suitable for him.This is determined by the established bodily functions.It was as though five or six minutes had passed, but his calf muscles could still feel a slight tremor.At the same time, he also found that he was not suitable for waiting.He used to be unable to wait for his parents to return home, and now he cannot wait for a lover who promises.

"I don't want to run away." He said lightly.

"Fuck you?" Wang Hongbo was startled, and came to him in three steps and two steps, "Brother, are you real or fake?"

The two men, one black and one white, looked at each other and seemed to be dumbfounded.

Xie Lian lowered his eyes, leaned over and patted his calf.

Will fireworks be sad without a fireworks display without spectators?

When he straightened up again, Xie Lian's expression had returned to normal.He smiled quickly, "Just kidding."
