ninety-nine twelve

After the monthly exam on Monday and Tuesday, the students couldn't hold back but had to go to class honestly for a day on Wednesday, and it was the school sports meeting on Thursday and Friday.

My physical ability is actually very average, so there are only two tasks this year, the team leader flag-bearer for the class phalanx on the first day, and the men's high jump for the third-grade men on the second day.Unlike Zhang Tianle, I practice every day. I only started to sharpen my guns a week before the school sports meeting. After school, I went to the playground to practice with everyone.

During this period of time, the sports equipment is basically set up for students to use.I practiced high jump on the padded area beside the court, and Zhang Tianle practiced running on the track. He participated in many events, but the distribution was fairly even. The first day was 50 meters, 100 meters and 1500 meters, and the second day was 200 meters, 400 meters, 800 meters and relay races.

Zhang Tianle won the first place in the group and the grade champion in the two sprint events. Sprint is his strong point, and he is in good condition on the spot, which is a good start for the class.His two sets of competitions attracted a lot of people to watch. The reputation of the non-sports student airborne school track and field team spread widely, and the audience was amazed when they won the first place.He is really fast, even faster than usual practice, especially in such a formal game scene, he stands out even more.

The 1500-meter race was the last event on the first day, and it was worth watching. Even the students who stayed in the classroom to make papers came down to the playground to read.

Because there is no group competition, there is no track to speak of. A total of 21 people signed up for the third-level men's group, and they all waited at the starting point to start running.Zhang Tianle didn't squeeze in the front with everyone, but stood at the back and warmed up leisurely, looking quite unbearable.

1500 meters is the longest running event set up in our school sports meeting. The strategy is to jog in the early stage, gradually accelerate in the second half, and start sprinting at the last moment. But when the gun fired, Zhang Tianle took a step forward with a burst of exclamation outside the field Running out, the pace frequency is not as fast as sprinting, but it is not as fast as the speed that should be for running 1500 meters. went behind.

I watched from the sidelines and listened to the discussions around: "Why does that man run like this, he must have no strength in the end." Some people don't know where to find out, saying that Zhang Tianle specializes in sprinting and long-distance running He is inexperienced, and he will definitely be caught up in the next few laps, and he speaks clearly.

It makes sense, but it can't be said too early.

The 200-meter runway was crowded with people from outside the circle, and everyone was desperately looking into the field. Zhang Tianle took the lead all the way, running along the innermost lane, and focused his eyes on the front.After a few laps, when he ran past the side where I was standing again, he glanced towards the sidelines, then lowered his head and smiled, taking in the view of everyone. Although everyone was watching from the sidelines, they were not far from the track. Not far away, his smile was clearly seen, and there was a scream next to me, except for "wow" and "so handsome", I couldn't hear other descriptions.

I finally couldn't help rolling my eyes, this guy is really good at playing handsome in the game, why can't I see how handsome he is.

In the last two and a half laps, the atmosphere slowly became tense again.

Zhang Tianle started fast, but in the second half, he needed to accelerate and sprint. He didn't mean to run out of energy at all. All adjustments were based on his start and were within his controllable range.

After he ran across the finish line ahead, a group of people in the class flocked up, helping hand the water, but Zhang Tianle didn't pick up anything, just kept walking with his waist in his arms. He said that he couldn't stop immediately after running, and he couldn't drink immediately. Water, you have to keep walking to let your body slow down, and then rest.

I stood on the sidelines without moving, listening to the female students in other classes beside me saying things like "that class three is amazing".

Suddenly my surroundings became crowded, the crowd seemed to be moving this way, there was a lot of noise, one hand stretched out and put it on my shoulder, and the other hand wrapped around my neck, Zhang Tianle hugged me and put The head rested on my shoulder just enough for us to whisper.

"worn out."

"You look really tired."

He lowered his head, buried it in the hollow of my shoulder, and laughed a few times in a breathy voice, "It looks like it."

"Don't lie on me, didn't you say that you can't stop immediately after running?"

"I saw you." Zhang Tianle asked again: "Why don't you open your hands to welcome me at the finish line?"

"Pull it down, are there still few people picking you up?"

"Less you."

"Get out." I raised my hand to tug at him but couldn't do it, so I patted him on the back, told him to let go quickly, and pushed him to continue walking a few more steps.

The high jump event was held in the early morning of the second day. There were not many people who signed up for the high jump. In the end, there were only six people left. I was stretching outside the court, and Zhang Tianle was hanging around me. I asked him: "Are you nervous about the afternoon relay?" ?”

"There's nothing to be nervous about."

"Didn't our school sports meet your eyes?" I was squatting on the ground to stretch my hamstrings. Zhang Tianle reached out and pressed my shoulders to increase the weight. I was in pain, and before I had time to scold him, I The voice above said: "Don't worry, I can still handle your relay."

I stood up, approached him mysteriously and said, "The relay race is very important. It is the finale. If our class wins, it will be more important than all the championships you won in the past two days."

"Unexpectedly, you have a strong sense of class honor."

"That is."

"Don't worry, it's none of your business whether you can win or not."

"Fuck, can you speak human language? Get off, don't make trouble for me here." I made a gesture to kick him, but he ran away with a smile.

When I was dancing, Zhang Tianle was watching from the side all the time, it was good if I didn't boo.

The relay race is a 10×200-meter mixed-gender relay, and each grade is divided into two groups.

This was the last team competition for the third grade, and it was of great significance. There were huge crowds of people outside the track and in the field, even the first and second graders came to watch.

The [-] classes of the whole level lined up in the infield according to the class and club sequence. Behind them were the logistics and teachers of each class. We were divided into the first group. There were eight tracks, one for physical education and seven for science. class.The women's sports committee took the lead as the first bat, followed by the men's sports committee. The pressure on the middle six clubs was slightly lower. The ninth club was the girl with the best sprint in the class, and the last club was Zhang Tianle.

From the gunshot to the fourth shot, our class has been ranked third in the group steadily, but the distance between the second, third and fourth places has not been widened.What to be afraid of, when the fifth rod was replaced by the sixth rod, the girl who handed over the rod probably ran too fast. When handing over the rod, she passed out as soon as she let go, and the boy who passed the sixth rod ran forward while receiving it. , I didn't expect such a shot, I didn't catch it, and I had to bend down to pick up the stick from the ground, but in just a few seconds, three more tracks were handed over. It was a bit short, and this time even the first few classes overtook them, and fell to the sixth place in the group.

Because it is a 200-meter runway, the starting point and the end point are at the same place. After the girl who took the fifth pass fainted, the back of our class was in chaos. The girl who took the seventh pass was in a bad state all of a sudden, and her eyes were red. , as if about to cry, whispered: "What should I do."

When everyone hurriedly transferred the fainted girl and comforted her, Zhang Tianle walked over calmly, "Don't be nervous, I'll be there in the end."

Before she went on stage to take over the baton, Zhang Tianle patted her on the head, smiled and said, "Just run as you please."

When Zhang Tianle was two shots away from his sprint stick, he walked back towards me and took a deep breath.

"Can I get it back?" I asked.

Zhang Tianle frowned slightly, "It's hard to say, the sports class is impossible, they are too far away from us, the track is too short, I'm not that fast."

After the last stick, Zhang Tianle received the stick, the sports class had already led by three-quarters of a lap, and our class caught up to No.5.

Sprinting is indeed his strong point. In terms of explosive power, he is the strongest in our class.

The cheers on the sidelines and in the arena began to grow louder.Zhang Tianle is chasing after us. We are not far behind Class [-], and we are getting closer to Class [-]. The PE class is far ahead. If we can surpass Class [-], we will be second in the group and have the possibility of winning a medal.

In the last half of the circle, the last bat of the sports class had already passed the finish line, followed by the sixth class, and there was almost a straight road away from the finish line, and behind it was Zhang Tianle, who chased our No.3 back.

Surrounded by crowds of people, the shouts and cheering became louder as they got closer to the finish line.

I was a little dazed by the enthusiastic atmosphere, managed to recover, squeezed into the crowd, stood at a suitable distance from the innermost lane of the runway, closed my eyes, and became nervous along with the crowd.

I didn't wait for a long time, maybe only a few seconds, a person jumped at me with such a strong impact that I almost fell, I managed to hold him up, and he hugged me tightly, as if to make the whole thing fall. The weight of the person was on me, and then I heard a voice in my ear say:

"I'm fucking exhausted this time."

"Lao Tzu No. 2."

"Damn, I didn't expect to fall to No.2 in this school."

"I underestimated you."

There was another group of people around us, I opened my eyes, and some girls even cried, probably because they were so moved that they wept with joy.

"Don't stop," I pushed Zhang Tianle away, "walk."

Zhang Tianle let go of me, changed direction, and started to walk slowly. He seemed unconscious, grabbed my wrist when passing by, and pulled me to follow behind him.

Due to the long duration of the relay race, the large number of participants, and the chaotic scene, when the second group of relays is in progress, the eight classes that have finished the first group still have to wait in the class area of ​​each class in the infield.The second group of classes are two other science classes and six liberal arts classes. There are generally more girls than boys in the liberal arts classes, and they are generally at a disadvantage in sports competitions. The main point of this relay race is the collection of elites. The sports class, and the sports class happened to be in the first group, so the second group's competition was slightly less exciting than the first group.

After the two groups of competitions are completed, the referee team will check the results for final confirmation, and then submit them to the broadcasting station to announce the rankings.Waiting for the gap, except for the physical education class, the other [-] classes were more or less nervous and anxious, especially our class experienced the unexpected situation of losing bats. From leading to falling behind to catching up, we all felt Once again, everyone was even more anxious at this time, and they were all looking forward to the final result.

I didn’t watch the sprint at the time, but I found out after listening to everyone’s discussion. In fact, at the last minute, the distance between us and Class [-] was not close. Many people were disappointed and gave up, but Zhang Tianle was not disappointed and did not give up. He insisted on catching up in the last few seconds. When he crossed the finish line, he was only half a figure behind Class [-], that is, the gap between the front and back feet.

At this time, Zhang Tianle stood with the relay team, watching the direction of the awarding platform from a distance, with a serious expression.

When the sports team leader walked to the radio station, the crowd began to booing. There was no doubt that the sports class won the championship. , Our class was boiling all of a sudden, and everyone couldn't hold back their surprise. As long as there are no accidents, the next class to be announced will be Class Three.

"Next, with a time of 5 minutes and 31 seconds, the runner-up is—"

5 minutes and 31 seconds, hearing this time, the students in the base camp at the back of the venue finally couldn't help but shouted out.

"Grade Three, Class Three!"

Not surprisingly, our class finally won the No. 5 of the third-level group of the relay race of this school sports meeting with a time of 31 minutes and 2 seconds, and won the runner-up medal.

The whole class rushed forward, shouting and cheering around the ten members of the relay team. Zhang Tianle probably had seen such scenes too often, so he didn't celebrate as enthusiastically as everyone else. He just smiled silently and seemed quite happy.

In the final awards ceremony, the Men's Sports Committee, as the captain of the relay team, received the award on the podium on behalf of the class.

Zhang Tianle came to stand next to me at some point, and seeing his expression, I couldn't help but tease: "Don't worry?"

He choked unnaturally, and said in an inexplicable tone: "I didn't take it to heart."

"I think so too."

Zhang Tianle probably made fun of himself, and walked away after talking nonsense with me.

I watched his walking figure blend into the crowd. Most of the people here could say things like "I don't care about the result, I only care about the process", "Just do your best", "Participation is the most important thing", but Zhang Tianle couldn't, because the reality That's it, the result is everything to a game, it's what makes sense to an athlete, so how could he not care.

After all the projects are over, there is a well-established tradition that all three grades in the school go to the playground to run the flag together.This is my third year watching the running flag, and it is also the last year. Reading and sports are the same. I work hard with my classmates and work towards the same direction. This is what I am with this group of people. In the last year, I will never meet this group of people, this place, or this age again.

Our class flags are mixed with countless flags and march forward together with them.

I don’t know who took down the class flag we hung on the flagpole. When I noticed it, it had already been draped over Zhang Tianle’s body. His classmates encouraged him to go up to run the flag too. Zhang Tianle was also generous, with both hands Hold up the class flag and join the flag running brigade.

He held his posture, and every time he ran over, he waved towards our base camp. He looked like he deserved a beating, but the girls still laughed and said he was handsome.

The sports meeting is officially over, and evening self-study is waived on that day, and each class spontaneously organizes celebrations, packs up things and goes out for dinner.

We spent a lot of money on barbecue, and Zhang Tianle naturally blended in with everyone and went crazy together. Later, someone took out a pen, and everyone started to sign each other's class uniforms. Zhang Tianle came to me with a pen, and I found a piece on the cuff. Sign the blank space for him, and he asked with a smile: "Wu Haoyu, let me go to your house to play tonight?"

After entering the third year of high school, everything was focused on studying. Because my family lived too far away, my mother rented a small house with one bedroom and one living room for me near the school, so as not to waste too much time on the way to and from school, and I could have a place to relax at noon rest.

Ever since Zhang Tianle knew that I lived near the school, he thought about it every three days and said that he wanted to go to my place for a while, and if he had the opportunity, he would live there again. I really don’t understand how he developed a thick skin. He mentioned it again, and I turned my head and relaxed: "Okay, then you can stay at my house tonight."

Zhang Tianle doesn't know, although I usually only live in that house, but my mother will come to see it every Friday after work, cook a meal, do cleaning and laundry, etc. There is a sofa bed in the living room, and she sometimes lives in it. Sometimes I go home later, but she is just the opposite of my situation. The place where I work is close to home and far from school, and it is not convenient to live here.

I didn't tell Zhang Tianle that my mother would be there, nor did I tell my mother that Zhang Tianle was coming, I just said that a classmate came to stay for one night, just waiting to see a good show.

I led Zhang Tianle into the door, and my mother greeted her inside, "I'm back." Zhang Tianle was taken aback, but his reaction was quick, and he hurriedly said, "Hello, Auntie."

"Hey, hello, hello, you're welcome, sit down wherever you want, Xiaoyu will introduce you soon."

"This is the classmate who came back from Hong Kong."

"How can I know where I came back from? Isn't this your new classmate? What's his name?"

"Mom, think about it carefully, you really know this person."

Zhang Tianle smiled dryly, pinching my waist from behind with his hands.

"Elementary school, I went to Hong Kong. I am as old as me. I have such a scar on my back. Who else can I have?" I said, and the hand on my waist suddenly released.

My mother's confused expression was a little awakened, "You are..."

The atmosphere was as embarrassing as I expected. No matter how many years pass, as long as the scar on my back does not fade, my mother will never forget that when I was a child, a little boy fought with me and scratched my back, leaving a big scar on my back. The mouth, the scar that never fades.

In the end, I smoothed things over and put Zhang Tianle on the shoulders and told her that we had "resolved our grievances". My mother entertained him politely and thoughtfully, making Zhang Tianle feel uncomfortable all night. I almost didn't smile when I saw it Get over it.

My mother is an adult, so many years have passed, how can she always care about a child, and now that the little boy has grown up, I can’t say how mature, but at least I won’t scratch my back with a ruler anymore .I used to be a little boy, so I got into a fight with Zhang Tianle. Now that I have grown up, if we fight again, I still can't tell who will hit whom.

Before I went to take a shower, I was changing clothes in the room. As soon as I took off my school uniform, someone touched my back lightly. The person behind told me not to move. I felt the fingers on my back slide all the way along the scar. Then the man asked softly, "Did I do it?"

"Aren't you asking nonsense?"

"Does it still hurt?"

"I haven't felt it for a long time." I turned around and put the clothes on my shoulders, "Are you guilty? Guilt will sleep on the floor tonight."

My mother went home at night, and she packed up the sofa bed before she left, so that the two of us could watch and sleep without crowding.Zhang Tianle was so shameless that he insisted on sleeping on the bed. I said I would sleep on the sofa, but he actually said that he would also sleep on the sofa. I was amazed. Where to sleep.

My bed is stuck to the wall. Zhang Tianle is clearly a person who has exhausted himself from exercise, but he is not sleepy or tired this time. He leans against the head of the bed without sleeping for a long time, holding his mobile phone and typing.I was so sleepy that I couldn't take it anymore, so I turned around and patted him twice, telling him to go to bed quickly and honestly. Zhang Tianle was obedient, stretched out his hand to reach for the charging cable, charged the phone, put it on the bedside table, and went back fell asleep.

Seeing that he finally calmed down, I pulled the quilt and closed my eyes again.In the dark, the screen of his mobile phone lit up again. I squinted my eyes and opened a crack, and vaguely saw the new news, several hearts, and the word "husband".
