My roommate is finally back to normal

"I only intend for you to learn the high jump and get a score with a sense of participation. Getting the first place is too stressful. There is no need for you, a beginner, to bear this pressure." Gao Boxin said later .

"But isn't the purpose of the game to win? If you don't win or lose, there is no need to work hard." Tong Mo still didn't understand.

"Just leave the competition to me. I promised to let you participate. It was never because I wanted you to win." Gao Boxin said.

If it were someone else, they might be angry because of the belittlement in Gao Boxin's words.

But Tong Mo is more self-aware in sports, he knows that Gao Boxin is not belittling him, but telling a fact.

"It's not for me to win, what is it for?" He asked sullenly.

"Of course it's to make you happy," Gao Boxin looked at him like a fool, "Fool."

Tong Mo:?

He worked so hard to learn high jump from scratch just to make himself happy.

Even Tong Mo, a top student, couldn't figure out this logic.

Tong Mo's take-off was not smooth at first.

He has watched Gao Boxin's demonstrations many times. From the beginning, when he saw Gao Boxin jumping lightly, his heart beat faster, and then he only stared at Gao Boxin's jumping movements seriously.

But it was not easy for him to jump up when he was actually on the stage.

Many times he ran to the mat and forgot which leg to lift, or simply didn't have the courage to jump up.

He thought he should be considered brave, but in a field completely unfamiliar to him, nothing was easy.

Gao Boxin finally stood beside the mat, and stretched out his hand to signal him: "Don't be afraid, if you fall, I will catch you."

What Tong Mo is afraid of is not falling down, but all the unknown parts when jumping up.

But for some reason, after hearing Gao Bai's words, he did feel a lot more at ease.

When Tong Mo continued to train, Gao Boxin's voice kept reminding him: "If you feel that it is difficult to take off when you run on the mat, you can add a few more steps to the approach run until your inertia is enough for you to jump." stand up."

"Jump with your non-dominant foot, relax your body as much as possible, and turn your body 180 degrees as you jump up."

"Never forget that your back is facing the mat."

"Don't pay attention to the position of the bar, let yourself land successfully on the mat first."

"When you fall, remember to land on your back first, don't put your weight on your head, and protect yourself."

What Gao Boxin repeatedly emphasized was that he had to protect himself, which in turn made him less stressed about the height of the jump.

Tong Mo tried a few times and was finally able to jump up successfully.

He felt his body floating in the sky for a moment, and then fell quickly. During this period, he closed his eyes tightly, and couldn't see the position of the crossbar at all, let alone the exact height of the crossbar.

He heard some small sounds in the air, but he couldn't tell what happened.

When Tong Mo jumped up, Gao Boxin immediately walked to the other side of the mat, blocking the side of the mat with his arm, and he was relieved until Tong Mo landed on the mat smoothly.

After Tong Mo finished dancing, the moment he opened his closed eyes, the first thing he saw was Gao Boxin's face.

He took the hand that Gao Boxin extended and asked Gao Boxin to pull him up.

He looked down at the crossbar that fell on the mat. The sound he heard just now was probably the sound of the crossbar falling to the ground.

He must have touched the bar before it fell.

Tong Mo couldn't help being a little depressed. The height he jumped out might not even be 1.6 meters, otherwise he wouldn't have touched the crossbar.

Where did he get the confidence to feel that the goals Gao Boxin set for himself were too low?

But Gao Boxin took a completely different view from him.

Even though Tong Mo thinks he dances badly, Gao Boxin still praises him repeatedly.

"Your jumping ability is very good, have you noticed it?" Gao Baixin said, "It is very good to be able to jump so high for the first time, if you train your jumping ability well, you will definitely be able to jump even higher. "

"But didn't I pass the pole just now?" Tong Mo frowned.

"That's not important." Gao Boxin said so.

Tong Mo felt that Gao Boxin must be teasing him again.

But Gao Boxin then said: "When you can skillfully jump to the height you want, it doesn't matter where the bar is, and you don't need to pay attention to its existence."

Tong Mo thought about Gao Boxin's words for a long time after the training, and he felt that what Gao Boxin said made sense.

"After you go home, if you have time, you can increase leg weight training, tie sandbags, or put a thicker book on your feet. After you get used to walking or running with weights, your feet will become lighter. It’s also easier to jump up.”

At the end of the day's training, Gao Boxin said so.

Tong Mo nodded immediately, silently remembering it in his heart.

He remembered that there were sandbags at home. Although he had never used them in sports before, he could use them now.

When Tong Mo got home, he searched for sandbags all over the house.

After tying sandbags on his calves, he then performed bounce training on the floor at home according to the method taught by Gao Boxin.

At first he would feel out of breath after doing one or two sets of exercises, and needed to sit on the couch and rest for a while.

Later, he didn't have to work too hard to do ten sets, and he could even practice while reading a book.

After a week of training, he felt his body became lighter when walking and jumping, and he easily jumped to an unprecedented height during practice.

But in fact, after this week of training, he only managed to jump a height of 1.6 meters [-] just now.

"Maybe I can only get a participation award." Tong Mo said regretfully.

"Is it important to win prizes?" Gao Boxin looked at him.

"It's not about winning prizes," Tong Mo shook his head, "It's about not letting yourself and those who care about you down."

Gao Boxin said without hesitation: "If you are worried that I will be disappointed, then you can rest assured that I will not be disappointed in you because you did not get the ranking."

Although Tong Mo thanked Gao Boxin for his comfort, he always felt that there was something wrong with this sentence.

Did he say that the person he cares about is Gao Boxin?

"How about this," Gao Boxin said again, "Maybe you still need a little encouragement so that you can better realize your potential."

Tong Mo looked at him without saying a word.

He always felt that Gao Boxin was going to say something amazing again.

"If you get the ranking, no matter what the ranking is," Gao Boxin said, "I'll give you a prize, how about it?"

"What prize?" Tong Mo asked.

"We'll find out when the time comes," Gao Boxin raised the corners of his lips, "I think you'll like it."

Tong Mo actually didn't expect much from Gao Boxin's prize.

He originally thought so.

But after hearing Gao Boxin's words, he obviously worked harder than before.

It seems that he has indeed gained some motivation from it that he can't explain clearly.

Tong Mo continued to practice weight-bearing leg lifts at home, jumping up and down repeatedly on the steps at home.

He practiced so much that he didn't even notice that the door of his house had been opened with a key.

Uncle Lin opened the door of his house, and as soon as he stepped in, he saw Tong Mo who was squatting on the ground and jumping over the steps of the study in a leapfrog posture.

Uncle Lin was taken aback, and hurried over to help Tong Mo.

"I didn't answer your call, so I came here directly, and I was thinking about what you have been busy at school these days, and the house may need to be cleaned..." Uncle Lin couldn't help but help Tong Mo onto the chair, "Xiao Mo , did you hurt your foot? Why are you squatting on the ground? Let me see—"

Tong Mo silently looked up at Uncle Lin.

Uncle Lin lowered his head to check Tong Mo's feet, but he saw the sandbag tied to Tong Mo's calf.

Uncle Lin: "...What is this?"

Tong Mo was a little helpless: "Sandbags, tied to play, Uncle Lin, don't be nervous."

"Tie to play?" Uncle Lin continued to be shocked, "It's so heavy, it's so hard to walk, and you were still there just now... Are you jumping in leapfrog? Xiao Mo, have you been stimulated by something?"

Tong Mo secretly sighed in his heart.

He couldn't tell Uncle Lin and the other elders the truth because he expected such a reaction from them.

Even if he repeatedly assured that his body was fine and that he could do some moderate exercise, their worries would magnify the dangers of these simple exercises infinitely.

And they will keep making up their minds, making him unable to persuade him with words.

If you can't convince with words, then use actions.

Tong Mo stood up and danced around twice with sandbags tied in front of Uncle Lin.

But Uncle Lin still couldn't believe it, as if he saw Tong Mo doing something crazy.

Tong Mo was already a little tired from dancing, but now he continued to dance two more laps, and he was obviously out of breath when he stood up.

"Don't jump anymore, why are you suddenly so brave and don't take your body seriously?" Uncle Lin's tone became severe, and he immediately pulled him aside to sit down, and helped Tong Mo remove the sandbag.

Tong Mo had no strength to resist anymore, he sat on the chair a little discouraged, hugging his knees for a while.

When Uncle Lin called his dad on the spot, he didn't want to care about it.

He suddenly missed the time when he and Gao Boxin were in the sports field, that was pleasant, undisturbed, and free.

Tong's father talked on the phone with Tong Mo for half an hour, but Tong Mo didn't talk much, and finally said that he was tired and wanted to rest early, and forcibly ended this unilateral "interrogation".

Uncle Lin seemed to want to keep guarding Tong Mo, but Tong Mo tactfully expressed that he wanted to be alone, so he could only say a few more words to tell Tong Mo to be careful about his body, and to go to Dr. Luan for a check-up on weekends and close the door then left.

Tong Mo had a bad premonition after school the next day. He felt that Uncle Lin would not be persuaded by his excuse yesterday, and would probably find the school to see for himself what he was doing after school.

Gao Boxin dragged Tong Mo straight to the playground as usual, but Tong Mo's interest was obviously not as high as before, and he stood in front of the high jump mat and looked around repeatedly.

"Someone wants to watch your high jump?" Gao Boxin looked to the side unhappily.

Tong Mo didn't expect Gao Boxin to guess what he was worried about right away. He didn't hide it, and told Gao Boxin his worries.

"If Uncle Lin saw it, he might ban me from participating in the sports meeting." Tong Mo said.

Although Uncle Lin does not agree with it and will not hinder his determination to participate in the sports meeting, the process of confrontation between him and Uncle Lin will definitely be uncomfortable, and he still wants to try his best to avoid it.

Gao Boxin thought for a while, and said, "If Uncle Lin really wants to come to school, you might not be able to hide your participation in the sports meeting."

"He didn't see me training, so he must not have thought that I signed up for the sports meeting," Tong Mo said, "So, we can suspend training today."

After Tong Mo finished speaking, he was obviously unwilling in his heart. He drooped his eyelashes, and the disappointment in his drooping eyes could not be concealed.

"That's how it is—" Gao Baixin pondered for a while, and said, "I originally wanted to take you there after the sports meeting is over, but today's timing is just a coincidence."

"Where are you going?" Tong Mo looked at him suspiciously.

"Go to my house." Gao Boxin said.

Tong Mo: "...Huh?"

The author has something to say: A lot of little angels came yesterday, so happy.

The author's collection is only 10 short of 1000, rub your hands.
