Chapter 6 Chapter 6

In the afternoon, during the trials for the men's group, Mrs. Yu, who lives in seclusion, actually played a cameo role as a referee. She looked like a fairy in Taoist clothes, and her demeanor distracted the disciples watching the battle from time to time. Finally in the evening, the results of the men's group were also decided. As everyone expected, Ruobai and Yifeng defeated the other disciples respectively and obtained the qualification to represent Songbai Gymnasium in this year's Gymnasium Challenge.The disciples were very excited, because in the final battle where Ruobai defeated Yifeng, anyone could clearly see the improvement of the two senior brothers' skills!

In the last competition, it was because of bad luck that they were in the same group with many powerful gyms in the preliminaries, otherwise they would not have failed to enter the semi-finals.But now it seems that the kung fu of the two senior brothers has improved by leaps and bounds again. As long as they are lucky, it should not be a big problem to enter the semi-finals this year! However, the excited mood of the disciples of Songbai Gymnasium did not last long, and they began to feel depressed again.In the Gym Challenge, each Gym sent three disciples to fight against each other. Senior Sister Chuwei withdrew before the battle, and Senior Sister Xiuqin would be defeated by that Baicao...

Obviously Senior Sister Xiuqin should have won! No matter how you look at that match, Senior Sister Xiuqin should have won! But- It was actually Qi Baicao who won. Is Baicao really going to represent Songbai Gymnasium to participate in this year's Gymnasium Challenge?Thinking of Baicao's desperate Saburo who only knows how to attack and doesn't know how to defend, the disciples of Songbai Gymnasium can't help but have black lines all over their faces. If such a person is sent to the game, I'm afraid that in the eyes of other gymnasiums, Songbai Gymnasium will be the best player. It's not a second-rate gym, but the least popular gym.

And her defeat of Senior Sister Xiuqin is not so convincing!If Senior Sister Xiuqin hadn't turned around at that time, she would never have kicked Senior Sister Zhong Xiuqin! The colorful clouds in the evening reddened the sky outside the practice hall. Ruobai announced that today's gymnasium selection competition is over, and after tomorrow's morning training, the list of disciples who will represent Songbai Gymnasium in the city's Gymnasium Challenge this year will be officially announced.After speaking, he turned and left. Ting Hao and Tingyi brothers and sisters who had been watching the battle for a day also walked out of the training hall, and then Yifeng, Xiuqin and others also left one by one.

Baicao sat cross-legged on the mat silently. She planned to clean up the practice hall first and then go to eat after all the people left.There are only two short weeks before the opening of the Gym Challenge, and she doesn't have much practice time, so she has to hurry up every second. The match between her and Xiuqin was really a fluke. If she wants to win the gymnasium challenge two weeks later without relying on fluke alone and stumbling to win, she must improve and grow up quickly.However, how should I improve and grow? Master used to say that she was too inexperienced in competitions. Is this what she meant?Master, Master should have a solution. Thinking of this, she suddenly wished she could run to Master immediately and ask Master what she should do, even if she would not eat or sleep and practice all day long, she would not want to be like today again Win so ugly.

People kept walking past her. She could feel the unfriendly gazes falling on her body, and she was so familiar with such gazes in the days of Quansheng gymnasium. "Qi Baicao, don't you feel ashamed?" A figure stood in front of her, the voice was full of anger and injustice, the disciples who had not left in the practice hall all looked over at the same time, Baicao raised his head, and saw that it was Xiuda who was glaring at her with a blushing face. "What are you talking about!" Xiaoying glared at Xiuda, although she understood that Xiuda was upset that Senior Sister Xiuqin was defeated by Baicao, but losing is a loss, Senior Sister Xiuqin didn't say anything, why was he yelling.

"Don't you understand what I said? I'm talking, does she know that she is ashamed!" Xiuda yelled at Xiaoying angrily, and then yelled at Baicao, "Didn't you hear me talking to you? You Don't you even have the manners to stand up and talk to me? Are you so proud that you've won a game with that despicable method?" Baicao stood up slowly. She is the same age as Xiuda, but she is half a head taller than Xiuda. Standing at such a close distance, Xiuda needs to look up at her halfway. Stabbed her and vented anger for her sister. "Qi Baicao, don't you really know that you are ashamed? Do you have any sense of shame!" Xiuda glared at her angrily, "Even if you win, everyone will look down on you. Your so-called victory will only make people look down on you." !"

shame? Although she was lucky, it was a lot of luck that she was able to knock Senior Xiuqin down with her instinctive kick with all her strength, but no matter what, she would not be labeled as "shame" and "shame".Baicao held back her anger and said, "I have nothing to be ashamed of." As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the disciples in the practice hall were filled with disdain, and there was even a cold snort, and Xiuda was so angry that she almost choked, and shouted at her angrily: "You sneak up on my sister! Take advantage of her distraction!" Before you could turn your head around, you actually sneaked up on her! With such a disgraceful sneak attack to win the victory, you actually said there is nothing shameful?"

Baicao was stunned. When that kick came out, wasn't senior Xiuqin ready for the fight?But obviously she only attacked after the command to continue the game was issued, so she tried her best to recall, yes, she clearly remembered that she heard Ruobai's command to continue the game.As for whether senior Xiuqin was distracted, she didn't know, the excessive physical exertion at that time made her only vaguely see the shadow of senior Xiuqin, where could she see expressions and movements. "Xiuda, you're going too far!" Xiaoying couldn't listen anymore, "You yourself have sneaked up on Baicao, why are you yelling at Baicao here!"

"Yes! I sneaked up on her! But I also received punishment, and I apologized to her! What about her?" Xiuda's eyes seemed to burst into flames, "Qi Baicao, I want you to go to my sister Apology! I want you to admit that you sneaked up on my sister! That victory should belong to my sister, not you!" "I didn't sneak up on her." Clenching her fists, Baicao said forcefully. "What did you say?" Xiuda couldn't believe what she heard, and Xiaoying turned her head slightly to look at Baicao in surprise. "I said, I didn't sneak up on her. I..." She took a breath and continued, "...I was so exhausted that I couldn't see her clearly. I didn't know she was distracted, so I Not a sneak attack."

Xiu Da's eyes widened, and he laughed angrily, and said in a cold voice: "Qi Baicao, people say that what kind of master brings out what kind of disciples, I didn't think so at first, but you and your master are exactly the same! As long as you can win, right? No matter what shady means you use, no matter how embarrassing it is, as long as you can win?!" "Boom"! It was as if something exploded in her chest, hot blood rushed to her throat, she glared at Xiuda angrily, and said, "You──" "Xiuda!" At some point, Xiuqin came back again, as if she didn't see Baicao who was stiff because of being mentioned as master, she dragged the furious Xiuda out of the training hall, and said coldly, "Go, where are you from?" So much nonsense!" The sun is gradually setting in the evening rosy clouds. Baicao was the only one left in the empty practice hall after the competition all day. Xiaoying accompanied her to wipe the mats at first, but was forced out by two young disciples not long after.After cleaning the practice hall completely, it was already dark, Baicao pulled the paper doors and closed them, and walked silently on the way back to the house. There are disciples in twos and threes on the road from time to time. Everyone didn't seem to see her, but when she passed by, they turned their heads and glanced at her, and then whispered a few words to each other in some mocking, disdainful or indifferent voice. "Baicao, don't pay too much attention to them." Looking at Baicao who was eating silently, Xiaoying hesitated, and said: "Actually, since you kicked Jin Minzhu away that time, making Songbai Gym proud in front of Changhai Gym, everyone has started to like you and accept you. It's just that everyone pays too much attention to it." In the Gym Challenge, I'm worried that if you replace Senior Sister Xiuqin, Songbai's strength will be weakened, and I'm afraid that Senior Brother Ruobai and Senior Brother Yifeng will be under too much pressure, so..." Baicao's fingers froze. Is that right?If she competed instead of Chuwei or Xiuqin, the strength of Songbai Gymnasium would be greatly reduced.Is this why she is hated by everyone?Since it was decided that the contestants could only be chosen between Chuwei and Xiuqin, why would there be an in-house selection contest?Since there is an in-house selection competition, isn't it to give everyone a fair chance to compete? "Besides, they may have misunderstood you," Xiaoying scratched her head, "They thought you were the one who attacked Senior Sister Xiuqin by surprise, and your victory was not open and aboveboard..." "I didn't sneak up on her." Holding the bowl tightly in her hands, Baicao stared at the rice grains in the bowl. "Yes, I know." Xiaoying said depressedly, "But from their point of view, they will feel that you were the one who attacked Senior Sister Xiuqin but refused to admit it. But, alas, it's no wonder they misunderstood. , Senior Sister Xiuqin is obviously turning her head to look at the courtyard, and your eyes are wide open..." "So," Baicao put down the bowl in his hand, feeling suffocated, "Do you also think that I am sneak attacking on purpose?" Xiaoying was stunned. After thinking about it, he frowned again, and said, "Baicao, to be honest, if you just look at it with your eyes, that kind of scene really looks like you deliberately attacked Senior Sister Xiuqin when she was distracted. But, you He is someone who will never lie, if you say there was no sneak attack, then it must mean there was no sneak attack." Baicao bit her lip. Tears suddenly poured out of her stuffy chest. She didn't want Xiaoying to discover her sudden fragility, so she stood up abruptly and said, "I'm going to practice." "Baicao, please don't be angry with them, okay?" Xiaoying's begging voice came from behind, "I have lived with them since I was a child, and they are all very good people. Misunderstanding you is only temporary. ...over time, they'll understand who you really are, so don't be mad at them, okay?" "okay." She was silent for a moment, and answered.When she came out of the house, she looked up and saw the stars in the night sky. What right did she have to be angry with others? It was she who played the game so embarrassingly.Xiaoying would say this, but she was actually comforting her, fearing that she would be too sad. Go into the practice hall. There was no one in the room, and when the switch was pressed, it was pitch black and there was no light.Under the faint starlight, she went to check the fuse, and found that the fuse had been cut by someone, and someone had taken away the repair tool that was originally placed next to the fuse box. She walked out in silence. Then let's go do the laundry first. We played all day today, and everyone's uniforms must be soaked in sweat and need a good wash.When she walked to the laundry room, there was not a single piece of clothes or Taoist clothes to be washed in it, and a few pots she used to use were trampled by someone. She froze for a few seconds. She was about to go back to the house to find a set of tools to fix the fuse. There were only two weeks before the Gym Challenge, and every night of practice time was precious to her. However, as she walked, she didn't go back to the room, but to that quiet place.Starlight sprinkles from the branches and leaves of the big banyan tree, the light is bright and clean, and the leaves are rustling. Here, it seems that no matter how chaotic the heart is, it can gradually calm down. sit on a tree. She hugged her knees and hid herself tightly among the thick leaves.I really don't understand why she won, but was not recognized by everyone, but was hostile by everyone?If Xiuqin hadn't been distracted at that time, if she hadn't happened to attack at that moment, then she should have lost. If she loses. It was Xiuqin who won. Then the Songbai Gymnasium at this moment will be in a state of joy that everyone expects. The victory she worked so hard to win is so unforgivable and unacceptable to the Songbai Gymnasium.Perhaps, she was born to be unacceptable, whether in Quansheng Gym, Songbai Gym, or anywhere else. "Du!" "Du!" "Du!" Suddenly there was a sound of knocking on the trunk under the tree. Baicao didn't move, and the person under the tree sighed slightly. "Are you sad?" The quiet voice like starlight resounded softly in the night sky. She still didn't move, and buried her head quietly. The moment she heard his voice, she knew that she was deceiving herself.She didn't want to hide herself in the tree, she came here to see the lights in his cabin from a distance, and to see his figure from a distance.She didn't know when she fell in love with his breath, which was as clean as it smelled of disinfectant. The leaves rustled. She buried her head between her knees deeply like an ostrich, and felt that he actually sat down beside her.They sat on the same branch, bearing the strength of two people, the branch trembled slightly, as if it would break at any moment. He didn't speak. Accompany her quietly among the leaves. She didn't speak either. Feeling his body temperature mixed with the faint smell of disinfectant, she suddenly felt a little tired and fell asleep, the branches under her body trembled slightly, like a gentle cradle.She doesn't want to think so much anymore, no matter how difficult it is for her to win and how unconvincing everyone is, no matter whether everyone accepts and recognizes her or not, since she has won, she must improve herself as much as possible within these two weeks. If she can perform well in the Gym Challenge. Maybe…… Everyone will recognize her. "Hey, Brother Chuyuan, why are you here?" The voice was quiet and somewhat startled. Looking at Baicao and Chuyuan who were sitting on the tree together, Tingyi's uplifted face was extraordinarily gentle reflected by the starlight that sifted through the leaves.Her eyes are also as gentle as stars, and she smiled and said to Chuyuan: "So you are still like when you were a child. No matter who you see is injured, even if it is a kitten or a puppy, you have to help it heal. No wonder you have to study medicine." .” Baicao slowly raised her head from her knees. Tingyi's eyes fell on her lightly for a few seconds, then she looked at Chuyuan with a soft smile, and said, "But you don't have to worry about Baicao, she should be a strong girl if she can finally win the morning competition." Before the morning exercise started the next day, Baicao was isolated indifferently, no one spoke to her, no one looked at her. Because Chuwei immediately packed up her things and went to live in school, the disciples of Songbai Gymnasium could only pin all their hopes on Xiuqin.They gathered around Xiuqin one after another, as if they wanted to tell Baicao with their attitude that they believed that Xiuqin should really win yesterday. Baicao was silently doing warm-up exercises. She will not be easily defeated by this kind of indifference and isolation. In the past few years, she has become numb to this kind of scene. However, when Ruobai in the morning light stood in front of the team gathered in the courtyard, his eyes swept over every disciple, and he began to officially announce the list of disciples representing the Songbai Gymnasium to participate in the city's Gymnasium Challenge two weeks later But Baicao suddenly became nervous. "...As usual every year, each gymnasium selects three disciples to participate in the competition. After yesterday's selection in the gymnasium, Yifeng and I will be the men's contestants in Songbai Gymnasium, while the female contestants..." She bit her lip, silently staring at the grass beneath her feet, her hands clasped by her sides. She didn't have the courage to look at the reactions of the disciples around her.She knew that Songbai's disciples all hoped that Xiuqin would play, not her who won the victory through stumbling, maybe they were all expecting her to voluntarily give up her qualifications. But…… But…… "...Although Baicao finally defeated Xiuqin in yesterday's women's competition, but considering the strength and performance of the two of them..." The morning sun is cool and cool. The courtyard was suddenly so silent that only the sound of the wind blowing through the tips of the grass could be heard. The disciples of the Songbai Gymnasium opened their eyes wide, holding their breath and flashing unbelievable joy. slowly── Baicao raised her head. There seemed to be small noises buzzing in her ears, she couldn't hear clearly, but Ruobai's voice was as cold as the morning light swirling in the courtyard. The morning sun is cool and cool. The courtyard was suddenly so silent that only the sound of the wind blowing through the tips of the grass could be heard. The disciples of the Songbai Gymnasium opened their eyes wide, holding their breath and flashing unbelievable joy. slowly── Baicao raised her head. There seemed to be small noises buzzing in her ears, she couldn't hear clearly, but Ruobai's voice was as cold as the morning light swirling in the courtyard. "...It is decided that Xiuqin will represent the Songbai Gymnasium in the competition." "Great!!" "Wow──!" "Senior Sister Xiuqin! Senior Sister Xiuqin!!!" The cheers made the whole courtyard boil in an instant!Xiuqin stood blankly, as if she wanted to make sure that Ruobai's announcement was not her hallucination, but the other disciples rushed towards her excitedly, screaming loudly and cheering towards her! "……why……" Xiuda even cried with joy, rushed over to hug Xiuqin tightly, and then more and more disciples embraced him tightly, cheering, as if they had won a great victory, as if they were welcoming a triumphant return. Celebrate the heroes! Great! It's Senior Sister Xiuqin! Finally, Senior Sister Xiuqin! "why?" Squeezed aside by the excited crowd, the dry, hoarse voice was the only noise amid the boiling cheers and excitement.Clenching her hands tightly, she couldn't see the cheering crowd, couldn't hear the cheering shouts, only the anger in her chest swept up, burning all her calmness and reason! "Why—!" "I obviously won yesterday! Why didn't you let me compete!" "If it was decided before the competition that the candidates for the competition must come from between Senior Chuwei and Senior Xiuqin, why is there an in-house selection contest for everyone to participate in? Didn't it be agreed that the winner of the selection competition will represent Songbai? Is the Gym participating in the competition? I was obviously the one who won yesterday! Didn’t you announce that it was me who won?” Such an angry voice! The cheering disciples of the Songbai Gymnasium looked at the blushing Baicao in shock, as if they were looking at a monster that shouldn't appear here, wondering why this person hadn't disappeared yet, wondering why this person not only hadn't disappeared but had dared to Question brother Ruobai with confidence! "What are you shouting!" Letting go of the arms that hugged her sister, Xiuda saw Baicao staring at Senior Brother Ruobai so angrily, and the anger in his heart burst out!He stepped out of the crowd and shouted to her repeatedly: "You are the one who won! Anyone with eyes can tell that you are far behind my sister in strength! If you hadn't attacked my sister, I would have How could my sister lose! If it wasn't for your sneak attack, the winner must be my sister! With such disgraceful means to win, you still want to represent Songbai Gymnasium in the competition?!" "I didn't sneak attack." She said firmly. "You sneaked up!" Xiu Da yelled angrily, she had never seen such a shameless person, everyone saw that she was a sneak attack, how could she insist on not admitting it! "I said, I didn't sneak attack!" Her fingertips pinched her palm until it bled! Baicao closed her eyes. Her chest heaved violently a few times, and when she opened her eyes again, she stared straight at Ruobai who was two meters away, and said stiffly, "I didn't sneak up on Senior Xiuqin. At that time, my physical strength was exhausted so that my vision was blurry, what?" I couldn't see clearly, I didn't know she was distracted, I just attacked instinctively." Ruobai looked at her indifferently, without any expression on his face. "Besides, you had already shouted the command to continue the game. Even if I could see her distracted, I would attack! The game is the game, and the distraction is her mistake, not my mistake. If you are I am not convinced because of this decision to disqualify me from participating in the Gym Challenge!" Taking a deep breath, the astringency burning in her chest could not be relieved at all! "You made a sneak attack! You made a sneak attack! You just did a sneak attack!" How dare you defend yourself so shamelessly!Xiuda yelled repeatedly, so angry that she wanted to jump over and beat her up! "I said, I didn't!" The fire burning in her chest was completely irritated by Xiuda's loud shouting. She turned her head suddenly, stared at Xiuqin who was standing blankly surrounded by all the disciples, and asked her angrily: "Why didn't you say a word? Do you also think I am sneak attacking?" Xiuqin didn't seem to expect that she would question her so directly, she opened her mouth, snorted coldly and pressed her lips tightly together. "I don't know your state at the time, but they all said you were distracted at the time! Why were you distracted? The game was still going on, why did you distract? You looked down on me and thought I was going to lose, right? So even if you are distracted, even if you don't look at me, it won't affect your victory, right? The password to continue the game has been issued, so even if I take 10,000 steps back, even if I am sneak attacking you, you lose to me. What to say!" The disciples of Songbai Gym were all dumbfounded. gosh. Isn't this Baicao usually a very silent girl?Every day, I saw her washing clothes, sweeping the floor, wiping the mats without saying a word, and even squatting on the path to wipe every cobblestone seriously. I thought she was a very patient and docile person. Actually. So terrible to be angry. "Are you finished?" Ruobai looked at Baicao calmly, as if her anger hadn't affected him at all.After waiting for a few seconds, seeing that her body was stiff and not continuing to speak, he said flatly: "No matter what caused Xiuqin to lose to you yesterday, your victory is unquestionable. But representing the Songbai gymnasium to participate For the Gym Challenge, Xiuqin is more suitable than you." "Why?" Baicao stared straight at him, she needed a reason, not such a fluffy sentence, "Why do you think she is more suitable than me? If you only need to think it's ok, why do you have to hold an in-house gymnasium where everyone participates?" Trials! Didn't we agree that the winner of the trials will represent the Songbai Gymnasium?" Ruobai's eyes were indifferent. "Because after looking at the few games yesterday, your style of play is rigid and single. In the Gym Challenge, relying on brute force will only lead to a crushing defeat." Baicao was stunned. Relying solely on brute force, with a rigid and single style of play... Yes, she also realized that this is her fatal flaw... But... After a while, her voice was stuck in her throat, and she said with difficulty: "But, I just lack some experience in competitions, and I will improve! Yesterday was just my first time participating in a formal competition, and there are still two weeks left, and I will improve." There is room for improvement! Although senior Xiuqin may be stronger than me right now, I will practice hard, and in the competition two weeks later, maybe... maybe..." No, she didn't want to give up this rare opportunity, she really wanted Master to sit in the auditorium and see her standing in the official arena in Taoist uniform! Ruobai looked at her expressionlessly. However, he didn't want to put this year's competition in Songbai Gymnasium on her efforts with no certain results. Compared with her, Xiuqin was a much safer choice. Her face gradually paled. The coldness and despair made her heart drop little by little, and she could understand his expression.Maybe he is right, she is too selfish, the Gym Challenge is a holy war in every disciple's mind, how could it be given to such an inexperienced person like her? It was just the last bit of reluctance that made her struggle and say loudly: "But, even with my style of play, I still beat Senior Xiuqin!" "Well, she seems to be a very confident girl." A soft voice came from behind Baicao, and then the man stood beside her, as if he had been listening for a long time, and said to her with a smile, "I like confidence people, but you know what, there's a difference between confidence and ego." Baicao stared at her blankly. "You don't quite understand why Ruobai made this decision, do you? Why don't you fight with me, maybe you can understand Ruobai's painstaking efforts." Tingyi's smile is gentle and beautiful. However, in the morning sun, that smile has the pity of looking down. The practice hall was full of disciples from Songbai Gymnasium, Ruobai sat cross-legged in the front row, Yifeng and Xiuqin sat on both sides of him. Tingyi changed into her Taoist uniform. Her long hair was tied into a high ponytail. Against the background of the snow-white Taoist uniform, she was a little more beautiful and handsome. In contrast, Baicao standing opposite her looked more youthful and slender like a little girl. This battle. Baicao can never forget. For her who was fourteen years old at the time, this was a duel that almost completely destroyed her confidence, and it could even be called the most humiliating battle in her life.So many years later, she would occasionally dream of the battle with Tingyi. She never dreamed of details. Because at that time, she couldn't even see how Tingyi made her legs. "Crack ─ ─ ─ ─!" A counter kick hit her left waist like thunder! "Crack!" A forward kick knocks her down on the mat! "Crack!" A side kick knocked her over! "Crack!" Kick her off the mat with a back kick! "Crack! Crack!" Two double kicks exploded on her abdomen and chest, and when she fell on the mat, the blood surging in her chest made her throat feel like a fishy smell, and her body hurt as if she couldn't get up again... "Crack!" She was kicked and fell on her back, and the roar in her ears prevented her from hearing the whispering of disciples around the mat. "Crack!" Another kick kicked her face, the bridge of her nose seemed to burst from pain, and hot viscous liquid flowed down. She struggled to get up, but her eyes turned red and black, as if the whole world was falling apart. Spinning like crazy... As if someone rushed over and called her desperately, trying to help her up from the mat, Baicao gasped for a long time with her eyes closed, before she managed to see clearly that the anxious and worried face in front of her belonged to Xiaoying.As if in a slow-motion movie, her mind was blank and she was struggling to stand up. Xiaoying supported her body, and the other hand stretched out to gently remove the protective gear on her head, and wiped it with a wet towel. Gently wipe the blood on her face. Those hands belonged to Tingyi. Her smile is as gentle as moonlight, and her fingers are white and soft, but they seem to have a cold touch. "If you participate in the Gym Challenge, your opponent will not be as lenient as I am. If Bai refuses to let you participate, it is also protecting you." Are you protecting her... The whole body seemed to be numb from the pain, and she stood stiffly back in the line, her heart seemed to be numb from the pain as well.She vaguely heard Ruobai announce that since Chuwei quit the practice, Yifeng and Xiuqin will practice together in the same group from now on, and she and Xiaoying will be partners again... It seems that there are noisy voices around... It seems that there are countless eyes of disdain, mockery or pity... After the morning exercise, the Songbai Gymnasium was much more lively and relaxed than usual.The trial competition in the gymnasium is over, and the long-awaited senior brothers Ruobai, Yifeng, and Xiuqin are selected to participate in the Gym Challenge that will officially kick off next month. Practice, focus more on how to better create a better pre-match environment for the three brothers and sisters, just cheer them up! Today is Sunday again, so I don't have to go to school, so I can hear the happy voices of my disciples everywhere.They can finally take a good rest. During this period of time, they have been working hard and nervous to prepare for the trials in the gymnasium. In the backyard room. The sweat-soaked Dao uniform stuck to Baicao's body wet and cold, and she felt a dull pain in her heart. She stared blankly at the sunlight coming in from the window.In the strong light, the swirling dust seems to be golden, dazzlingly bright, making her eyes dizzy and stinging. Suddenly I don't know what to do. Ever since her master took her to formally enter Songbai Gymnasium, she practiced kung fu from dawn to dusk every day, eager to qualify for the Gymnasium Challenge, which was the whole focus of her life. And now... Curling her body tightly, she closed her eyes, and the images of being kicked on the mat again and again seemed to refuse to let her go, flashing in her mind like countless whirling fragments! She is so overwhelmed. She thought that what the master said was true. The master said that she had the talent to practice taekwondo. As long as she worked hard and persisted, she would one day become a great taekwondo player!Therefore, she couldn't bear the victory she had worked so hard to be taken away, so she fought for herself desperately in front of Ruobai and all the disciples in Songbai Gym, thinking that she might really be able to do it! However, she was kicked down by Tingyi so easily like a vulnerable doll, and she couldn't even see her leg movements clearly, and couldn't even initiate a decent counterattack!I fell heavily on the mat again and again, seeing complete darkness and despair in front of my eyes, struggling to get up each time, and being kicked harder each time... "Swipe──!" The door was slammed open, and there were anxious footsteps rushing in, she hugged herself tightly and shrank towards the corner.No, she doesn't want to be seen by anyone!Restraining her trembling back, she curled herself up tightly! "Baicao, what's the matter with you, your body hurts, right?" Xiaoying walked over worriedly, seeing Baicao huddled in front of her, she felt so uncomfortable, she kept saying, "Don't be afraid, the pain will stop soon, I brought Senior Brother Chuyuan to see your injury!" Chuyuan... No, she doesn't want to be seen by him, her face and body are covered with traces of defeat from being kicked by Tingyi!Tingyi who stood with him like a golden boy and jade girl... Tingyi who looked up and smiled at him... the gentle and beautiful Tingyi... She couldn't see Tingyi's legs clearly, and her attack couldn't even touch Tingyi Appropriate clothes corner... "Baicao, lift your face up and let Senior Brother Chuyuan take a look at it. You don't want to go to Senior Brother Chuyuan's place to see your injuries, so let Senior Brother Chuyuan come and see you. Isn't that okay?" Xiaoying begged, struggling She wanted to lift her shoulders desperately, "Tingyi kicked you so fiercely, you must be injured, right? Please, let senior brother Chuyuan take a look. If you are injured, you must treat it as soon as possible, otherwise what will happen if you get injured?" Do it!" "...I'm fine." Her throat was hoarse and dry, and she curled up tightly, desperately resisting Xiaoying's hands that tried to pull her shoulders up!No, she doesn't want to be seen by him!She doesn't want Tingyi to be as beautiful as a fairy, but she is just a sympathized kitten and puppy... "Baicao!" Xiaoying was dying of anxiety, seeing that she couldn't lift Baicao's body, she simply used both hands to pull her back desperately! "You have to show Brother Chuyuan! Did you hear that! Why are you so stubborn!" Chuyuan stopped the anxious Xiaoying. Staring at Baicao who was curled up into a ball with her head buried all the time, he shook his head and said to Xiaoying, "Forget it, don't disturb her, maybe she wants to stay alone for a while." "But her injury..." "Tingyi's legs are usually measured, so as not to hurt too much." Handing a bottle of medicinal oil to Xiaoying who was still restless, Chu Yuan looked at the girl who buried her head like an ostrich, Said, "When she is in a better mood, you can help her rub the medicated oil on the bruised ground. If you find any other discomfort in her body, come to me at any time." "……Oh." The door was gently closed, Baicao closed her eyes tightly, and numbly listened to the footsteps gradually fading away from the door, and the footsteps gradually disappeared completely until there was no more sound. "Baicao..." Xiaoying stood beside her helplessly, she didn't know how to comfort her.She knew that Baicao was very concerned about the gymnasium challenge, but she had to watch the qualifications that she had already obtained were taken away, and she was defeated by Tingyi in front of everyone like that.If it was her, she would be more sad than Baicao. Since childhood, Tingyi has been worshiped by her like an idol, but why did Tingyi let Baicao lose so miserably today?As long as Baicao knows that there is a gap between her strength and the master, why do you have to kick Baicao down mercilessly again and again, that kind of kick will destroy the opponent's self-esteem and confidence! The sun in the window had risen to the middle. Xiaoying put the rice and vegetables on the table, and saw that Baicao beside her had slowly raised her head from between her knees, and was sitting in the corner, staring blankly out of the window. "Baicao, would you like to eat something?" Xiaoying put some vegetables on the rice and stuffed them into her hands. Seeing that she was still looking at the window motionless, she felt a little anxious, and blurted out: "Is it because I failed to participate in the Gym Challenge, or because I was rejected?" Is your reaction so intense if Tingyi is defeated? Who hasn’t lost before? Didn’t I also lose to Senior Sister Xiuqin yesterday? If everyone loses, they will be devastated, then Senior Sister Xiuqin was defeated by you yesterday , what should she do?" The body stiffened a bit. Baicao's eyes slowly retracted from the window. "Oh, don't talk to me, I don't know what nonsense I'm talking about...I understand that you are sad...Seeing you sad, I am also sad..." Xiaoying sighed, scratching her hair angrily, "...It's just that the matter has passed... Senior Brother Ruobai announced that Senior Sister Xiuqin will be allowed to participate in the competition, but not you...Maybe he has his own considerations...I know you really want to participate...but...but... ..." I don't know what to say anymore. She can understand Baicao's mood, she can understand Xiuqin's mood, she can also understand Ruobai's consideration of letting Xiuqin play in the competition, but alas, in the end it is Baicao who has been wronged.So it is normal for Baicao to be the saddest. "……Sorry." Suddenly hearing a dry and hoarse voice, Xiaoying suddenly opened her eyes wide, unable to believe her ears.她愣愣地盯着百草看了几秒钟，才如释重负地让自己笑起来，说：“太好了！你终于肯跟我说话了啊！我就知道百草是最坚强的，这点打击对你来说一定能挺过去的！那……那你吃点饭好不好？今天有鲈鱼哎，是我妈专门给你蒸的！你试试看喜不喜欢吃！” "……it is good." 低下头，百草开始沉默地吃饭。 一口一口。 直到将碗里的东西全部吃完。 “呵呵，真的很好吃呢！下次让老妈多做鱼来吃！”晓萤也大口大口地吃完了，虽然今天这种压抑的气氛下她吃得胃里好像有点不消化，但是百草总算慢慢在恢复，她也松了一口气。 见百草像平时一样沉默地收拾碗筷准备端出去清洗，晓萤连忙抢过去，说：“我来！我来！你休息一下，睡会儿午觉吧！……哎呀，我说我来就是我来嘛！不许跟我抢，我会生气的！” 晓萤刷完碗筷回来后，却发现百草不见了，屋里空荡荡的异常寂静。where did she go会不会出事？晓萤急得脑袋一蒙就往外冲，到了屋子外面，正午的阳光强烈得晃眼，院子里一个人影都没有。 ……never mind. 可能就像初原师兄说的，也许百草只是想好好安静下。 晓萤茫然地站在院子里。 只要给百草一段时间，等她冷静下来，就会慢慢想通吧。也许只要几个小时，百草就会回来了。 可是直到傍晚的集合练习开始，百草还没有回来。若白站在队伍面前，看向队伍里原本应该站着百草的位置，神色淡漠地问：“百草为什么没来？” “……她病了！”晓萤立刻紧张地喊，想想又觉得不妥，尴尬地说，“……她……她身上的伤蛮重的……原本她坚持想来……是我非要她在屋里好好休息休息……” 若白冷冷打量晓萤几秒钟，看得她心虚得手心都冒汗了，他才低哼一声，将视线收回去，吩咐弟子们分组训练。 “呼──” 晓萤心惊肉跳地松口气。
