Chapter 8 Chapter 8

In the early morning of the next day, the disciples of Songbai Gymnasium went to the courtyard one after another to warm up before morning exercises, but found Baicao sitting on the tatami outside the practice hall.The broom was leaning against her side, and she was looking down at a book intently. The book was old and torn, but she seemed fascinated by it. The disciples walked past her without even raising her head. one time. "Baicao, what are you looking at?" Pingping moved her head curiously. In the morning light, she saw a picture of a person practicing kung fu on the book, and there were some messy cursive characters on the page, so she couldn't make out what was written.Awakened by her voice, Baicao looked up and said shyly, "It's a legwork book."

"Huh? Can I read it?" After taking the book handed over by Baicao, Pingping flipped through it a few times, and suddenly her mind was full of thoughts, thinking of many plots in movies and novels. Could such an old book be The legendary──"Martial Arts Cheats──!" The shouts of surprise and shock attracted all the disciples to gather around, rushing to read the "Martial Arts Cheats" that Pingping was holding in her hands with great excitement.What is the painting on an old and worn-out book, uh, "Whirlwind Kicks" is written on the cover of the book. "Qi Baicao, you were reading this early in the morning!" Xiuda disdainfully threw "Whirlwind Kicks" to other disciples, "You don't really think this is some kind of martial arts secret book. Immediately become some peerless master."

"Pfft!" "Ha ha ha ha!" After circulating the "Whirlwind Kicks", all the disciples couldn't help laughing out loud, and said in one go: "What kind of martial arts secret book is this! Many bookstores have this book. It is a copy of Shaolin's Some kicks, mixed with some martial arts kicks of small sects, I drew a book together, and deliberately named the title of the book that I didn't have before!" "Pingping, can you read less comic books in the future? It's making your head go stupid. You're yelling about martial arts cheats! Haven't you seen this book? Didn't Feng Shi also buy a copy last year? It's so mysterious. Xidi secretly practiced for a long time, only to realize that he was fooled."

"what……" Pingping remembered, it seems that such a thing happened!Her face immediately flushed with shame, but, but, the book Fengshi bought was new, and the book of Baicao looked very old, so I didn't think of it together... "If you don't have the strength to defeat my sister, do you want to rely on some martial arts cheats to take a shortcut?" Xiuda snorted again, and stared at Baicao disdainfully, "Although you are very overestimated, you dare to question Ruo in front of everyone that day? Brother Bai's decision, but I also admire your courage. I thought you would catch up and practice martial arts from now on, and try to compete with my sister again next year. In the end, hehe, you actually practiced some martial arts secrets in a whimsical way! With you like this, I don't think you can beat my sister in another ten years!"

Baicao pursed her lips tightly. She didn't want to say anything to Xiu Daduo.Unless one day she can defeat Xiuqin with full force and strength, otherwise it will be useless to say anything. "Give me back my book." Seeing that "Whirlwind Kicks" was thrown back and forth in the hands of the disciples like a ridiculous toy, it was thrown in the air, and the fragile pages seemed to be broken at any time, she stood up anxiously. The disciples laughed and said while playing: "Oh, don't you really think this is a secret book of martial arts!" "Don't be stupid! If you have the time to read this book, why not practice basic legwork for a while!"

No one paid any attention to her, and the disciples continued to play the game of throwing books. The more they played, the more addicted they became, and the laughter filled the sky. Seeing that the old book was about to be thrown to pieces, Baicao felt tight and said, "Leave it alone!" Is it a martial arts secret book, it is my book, return it to me!" "Hahahaha, what do you want a useless book for!" All the disciples were enjoying themselves so much that no one paid any attention to her. Baicao bit her lip, stepped forward a few steps, and was about to snatch the book back when she heard Ruobai's voice—

"What are you doing! Assemble quickly!" Ruobai, who was wearing a snow-white Taoist uniform, walked towards the center of the courtyard with an awe-inspiring face. All the disciples were so frightened that they dared not play anymore. They pushed each other and quickly assembled into a team. lawn. Baicao bent down to pick it up. Pingping quickly picked it up, handed it to her in embarrassment, and said, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean it... I'm all to blame..." "It doesn't matter." Baicao took it and brushed off the grass clippings on it.She knew what they said was right, this is not a martial arts cheat book.However, if it wasn't for martial arts cheats, wouldn't she be able to read them?

Xiaoying, who was late for a while because of sleeping in, was punished by Ruobai to do 30 push-ups, and finally heard about the martial arts cheats from other disciples during the few minutes of rest before the group practice. "Is this the "Whirlwind Leg Technique"?" Xiaoying frowned, and Baicao was still immersed in the book during the short break of a few minutes, as if she was studying something blankly, as if she didn't hear her talking at all. "Last night, I told you that this book is not a martial arts secret book at all. The martial arts and taekwondo moves are different. It is useless at all. Why did you bring it here again for morning practice? What is so interesting about it?" yes?"

"Look." Baicao raised her head slightly, pointed to the messy handwriting on a page of the book, as if speaking to Xiaoying or talking to herself: "The writing here seems a bit..." "The rest is over! The sparring begins!" Hearing Ruobai's command, Xiaoying immediately jumped up from the ground.Although it stands to reason that those disciples who don't participate in the challenge and don't have to fight with Senior Sister Xiuqin and the others can only use the regular training, but on the one hand, Senior Brother Ruobai is focusing on the specially intensified training and warm-up matches for the Gym Challenge. On the one hand, they still stared at the daily practice of their disciples as before.

She doesn't want to be punished by Ruobai anymore, the push-ups just now exhausted her to death.Glancing disinterestedly at the page of the book that Baicao pointed out to her, the messy writing was barely legible, as if someone had scribbled on it. Xiaoying snatched the book from Baicao's hands and said: "Don't look at it, don't look at it, be careful to look stupid! Let's start sparring!" Uh, what's the situation? Could she be a crow's mouth? After the sparring started, Xiaoying was stunned to find that Baicao seemed to have really become stupid! In the past, when she was in a group with Baicao, Baicao would always attack bravely and desperately in actual combat, which made her back again and again, without the ability to fight back.

But today- Baicao didn't seem to know how to attack at all, she kept staring straight at her, and her reaction was a lot slower. "Bang!" This leg kicked Baicao's waist again, Xiaoying was so anxious that she rushed over to see if Baicao had been kicked by her, and shouted repeatedly: "Why don't you hide! What's wrong with you? Are you sick? Is it uncomfortable?" Come on, before, she couldn't get close to Baicao's body with such a kick attack! The forehead is not hot. That means there is no fever. Xiaoying looked at her in bewilderment, so why is Baicao today as if her head was burnt out, and she can't even hide, but just keeps staring at her? "I'm fine, you go ahead." Putting on a defensive posture, Baicao's eyes were fixed on Xiaoying's shoulders, arms, waist and legs.No, it seems that the focal length of the eyes is not that great, and they can only focus on one part, and the other parts can only fall into the extended line of sight. So, where should you focus? After waiting for a long time, Xiaoying did not continue to attack. She looked at Xiaoying suspiciously, and seeing Xiaoying staring at her with frightened eyes, she asked fearfully, "Baicao, are you really alright?" "It's really okay, you can attack." She said with certainty, and waited for a long time, seeing Xiaoying still standing there hesitantly, she couldn't help but say, "Xiaoying, I'm ready." "……Oh, OK." It was quite normal to hear her talk, Xiaoying hesitated again, and saw that Senior Brother Ruobai was looking this way, fearing that he would think he was being lazy if he continued to dawdle, so he gritted his teeth and shouted—"Ah—" -!" Launched a series of fierce attacks on Baicao! "Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!" Xiaoying is as powerful as a tiger! Baicao has no power to fight back, every attack by Xiaoying falls heavily on her body! The disciples in the courtyard were all stunned, looked at them involuntarily, and then looked at each other, with the same worry in their eyes.Is it because Senior Brother Ruobai didn't let her compete, and she was defeated by Senior Tingyi. She was so stimulated that she gave up on herself?Or, because of reading the "martial arts cheats" in "Whirlwind Kicks", I became obsessed---became stupid? Otherwise, why did he suddenly have no strength to fight back? Looking at Xiaoying's kicks, she didn't become great overnight, she was still as strong as before.But Baicao just watched, staring at Xiaoying, not knowing what she was thinking, as if her attention was completely frozen, and her counterattack was chaotic. It's so weird! "Ah-" Xiaoying flew out a horizontal kick, half of her strength was used, and then she suddenly retracted it, causing her to almost fall herself! "Please, Baicao, can you get started!" With a mournful face, Xiaoying begged her, "Although I was very unwilling when I was kicked miserably by you before, and although it's cool to keep attacking, you don't care about it like this." Let me kick without fighting back, I will feel guilty!" Baicao was stunned when he heard that, and said, "I didn't..." "Practice each other, don't stop!" Ruobai came over at some point and ordered, "Xiaoying, keep attacking, use all your kicks!" Uh…… Xiaoying glanced at Senior Brother Ruobai in fear, could it be that Baicao's anger angered him that day, so he took the opportunity to take revenge on Baicao?Seeing that something was wrong with Baicao, she asked her to attack Baicao. "Attack!" Ruobai frowned and shouted at Xiaoying. "yes!" Xiaoying immediately didn't dare to think about it anymore, and launched a new round of fierce attack on Baicao with all her strength, shouting: "Ah──" It's a front kick! Staring at Xiaoying's leg closely, at the moment when her right leg was just lifted, Baicao made a judgment and wanted to find the gap in the forward kick to counterattack, but there were two "papa──" and Xiaoying kicked out. What she did was not a forward kick but a double fly, and those two legs hit her waist and chest hard! it hurts! Baicao took a step back, clenched her fists, bit her lips tightly, not daring to show any painful expression on her face.Xiaoying is already a little timid, and if she sees her in pain, she will be even more afraid to make a move.Yes, that's right, it should be a double kick. Although Xiaoying's double kick is similar to the forward kick, the height of her right leg will be slightly lower. "Don't look at the legs, look at the shoulders." Ruobai said flatly, "Looking at the legs will make your attention too low and your reaction speed will slow down." However, at the moment of attack, the difference in the shoulder movements of different legworks is so small that it is difficult to distinguish them.Baicao thought in confusion, and when she raised her head to ask, Ruobai had already walked away, as if she hadn't said anything to her. What look at the shoulders and legs. Xiaoying was confused. But ever since Senior Brother Ruobai said that, Baicao's eyes really seemed to be fixed on her shoulders, making her very uncomfortable, feeling like her shoulders could burn a hole in her shoulders under Baicao's gaze! The morning exercise seemed to be spent in Xiaoying's mist. However, a few minutes before the end of the training, the moment Xiaoying just used the Shuangfei Kick, she had exhausted all her moves and hadn't had time to use her strength, but with a "slap", Baicao kicked her into the gap in her waist! that feeling... It's like Baicao found a time difference! It was as if Baicao had expected that she was going to have a double flight, so he took the time to hit her back! Xiaoying staggered blankly. This feeling of being kicked by Baicao is very different from Baicao's blindly desperate Saburo's attack before, but I can't tell what is different. After the morning exercise, Xiaoying felt something was wrong all morning.During the recess, she lay on the desk, thought hard for a while, stared at Baicao who was previewing the content of the next math class, and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?" "Ok?" Baicao will underline and mark in the textbook any places that are not well understood during the preview, and you should focus on listening to these in class. Xiaoying was puzzled, and said, "Why are you so dazed during your morning exercise today? No, it doesn't seem like you are dazed either. Why do you keep letting me attack, but you don't attack yourself, but keep staring at me? First, stare at me. I was all over my body, then stared at my legs, and after Senior Brother Ruobai said, he started to stare at my shoulders again, is there something ridiculous about me?" "no." Her fingers paused, her pen stopped, and Baicao took out the dilapidated "Whirlwind Legs" from the schoolbag on the desk, and said, "It's written in this book..." It's this book again!Xiaoying was about to vomit blood, and she said several times that this book is absolutely impossible to be a secret book of martial arts, why Baicao wouldn't listen to it at all. "...The general meaning is that there must be momentum before an attack." On the sixth page of "Whirlwind Kicks", there are a few lines of scrawled words next to the sketched Kicks and Kicks. It takes careful deciphering to even guess and understand what is written.Xiaoying leaned over and looked at Baicao's finger, and it seemed that the words were what she meant. "I think it makes sense." Baicao thought about what to say, "You still remember the day when I lost to Senior Tingyi. I lost badly." "...Hehe," Xiaoying laughed awkwardly, comforting her, "Senior Tingyi is too strong, you are already very good, if it were me, I would probably be kicked unconscious by Senior Tingyi's legs gone." Baicao shook her head and said: "Competing with her, I feel like I am completely controlled by her. It seems that every time I kick, she can see clearly and I am under her control." "It seems to be the same." Xiaoying recalled the game that day, "Every time you just kicked out, she can accurately find the gap that you exposed when you kicked out, and kicked there easily. Yes, that's right, it's like She expected you to do that!" "Why did she expect that?" "Yeah, why?" Xiaoying lay on the desk, leaning on her arm, thinking about this question one after another. "It must be that she saw through the momentum before the move." "what?" "You see, assuming you are going to attack with a forward kick, the movements of your shoulders, waist, and legs are different from those when you are preparing to attack with a back kick." Baicao said while organizing her thoughts, "Any movement, To use it, you have to exert strength from the shoulders, waist, legs, and the muscles of the whole body, and different movements have different changes in each part at the moment when the strength is exerted..." "Huh?" Xiaoying jumped up, gesticulating in the open space of the classroom aisle, kicking forward and kicking back, and doing it again slowly, shouting excitedly: "Yes! Really! These two movements are making moves. There is indeed a difference in the physical preparation beforehand, that is, what you said about starting momentum!" Shouting is too loud. The students in the class turned their heads to look over. Xiaoying smiled shyly at her classmates, then hurriedly sat back down, lowered her voice and continued excitedly, "I didn't even notice it unless you said it! In fact, if you think about it, since you have to do different movements , then the starting posture must be different, otherwise how can we make different kicking movements?" "Yes." Baicao nodded, "So if you can judge from the starting position, that is, when your body is just about to exert strength, you can judge what kind of kick is going to be used, and you can understand the opponent's intentions, and then..." "Then you can take the lead in overcoming the enemy! Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will win every battle! Wahahahahaha!" Xiaoying hurriedly said, the more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and the more she thought about it, the more proud she was. Suddenly she felt that she was invincible, and couldn't help it Laugh out loud! The whole class once again cast surprised eyes. Xiaoying hurriedly shut up. When the students turned their heads back to do their own things again, Xiaoying couldn't help but said: "So you were in a daze during the morning exercise today, and you didn't take the initiative to attack me like before, just to study my starting point before I made a move. momentum, right?" "yes." "Tch, if you didn't say it earlier, then I will move slowly and tell you in advance what kind of kick I plan to do. Wouldn't you get twice the result with half the effort?" Baicao was stunned. "However, if you slow down on purpose and know that I am observing you and make your movements, will it be different from your normal combat or competition movements?" "Hey, that's true..." Xiaoying scratched her head, feeling itchy in her heart, and suddenly wanted to test whether the practice method that Baicao said was effective, "After today's get out of class, let's go back to the gymnasium to practice Bar!" "it is good." Xiaoying was excited and was about to continue talking. When the class bell rang, the gray-haired math teacher walked into the classroom with a lesson plan, so she had to shut up.Throughout the math class, she was distracted with excitement.In fact, she felt that the method Baicao said must be effective. At the end of the morning exercise, Baicao kicked her like a time lag, which explained the problem! Hey, is that book really a secret book of martial arts? The legendary martial arts cheats! The mysterious martial arts cheats that can become the best in the world after practicing? ! Hahahahahaha! Strange, she was so excited, how could Baicao still concentrate on listening to the teacher's lecture?Watching Baicao taking notes while listening to the class seriously, Xiaoying felt incredible. Take advantage of the enemy! Before the opponent has fully made a move, just at the moment when he is preparing to move, he can see through the opponent's intention and deal a fatal blow to the opponent! If you can practice to this extent! Wouldn't it be victorious in every battle and invincible in the world? ! Xiaoying excitedly dragged Baicao all the way back to Songbai Gymnasium as soon as school was over. When she changed into her Taoist uniform, she couldn't wait to pull Baicao to the practice hall, and then ordered Baicao to attack her!She needs to see clearly the starting momentum of every movement of Baicao, so as to decipher every attack of Baicao! But…… But... but... Why doesn't it seem to be as easy as imagined? When she was hit by Baicao's horizontal kick for the thirty-seventh time, Xiaoying sat down on the mat without tears, and shouted: "No more practice! You are lying, you can't see anything clearly, okay! " The moment before the leg came out, it was faster than the blink of an eye, and before she had time to see any movement, Baicao's leg had already greeted her!The so-called rising momentum is fleeting, not even a second, or in fact only a tenth of a second, how could it be possible to see it without Monkey King's piercing eyes! "It hurts to death! Don't practice, don't practice!" Xiaoying sat on the cushion in frustration and refused to get up. Why is there such an insurmountable gap between dreams and reality? It is so sad. Baicao handed her the towel. It is quite difficult to practice. She thought about it for a long time last night, and felt more and more that what she said made sense, but when she tried it in the morning exercise, she found that it was not easy to see the opponent's momentum.So she was kicked by Xiaoying all the time in the morning, but it was difficult to judge Xiaoying's intentions. Only once did she fight back and hit Xiaoying, not knowing if it was a coincidence. "Forget it, don't practice too. It's very difficult to practice! And this kind of practice, how many legs do you have to eat, the body will not be able to bear it," Xiaoying covered her waist and moaned, "Woo, I am now It hurt like hell..." Hey, she just practiced for a while, and she couldn't take it anymore.During the morning exercise, she kicked Baicao's legs so much, Baicao must have hurt even more.This stinky herb didn't even cry out in pain, she seemed very delicate, so uncute! "But it makes sense in theory..." Baicao thought and thought. "It makes sense in theory, but there are too many things that are not operable in practice!" Xiaoying said angrily, "It's impossible, in such a short moment, it is necessary to judge the intention of the other party's kick. , Isn’t that a fairy tale!” Damn it, it made her excited for nothing! "...I still want to try." Xiaoying was dumbfounded and said, "You...you..." "Anyway, I'm not going to participate in the Gymnasium Challenge. I just have a lot of time to explore these things." Baicao smiled.What she lacks most now is actual combat experience and skills, so, as long as it is theoretically feasible, she must give it a try. "Why is there no loss? Doesn't it hurt you to be kicked by me?" "...It doesn't hurt much, hehe." Xiaoying rolled her eyes, stood up, and said angrily: "You, you actually said that it didn't hurt much when you were kicked by me. Are you laughing at the weakness of my legs? That's because I couldn't bear to kick too hard and deliberately kicked my legs. Please be merciful, please! Come on, let me show you my thunderbolt legs! Ah──!" Xiaoying practiced with Baicao for more than an hour, until she was too tired to go back to her room to rest.Baicao practiced basic legwork alone for a while, and when it was time for cleaning, she tidied up the mats in the practice hall, picked up the broom outside and started sweeping the floor. Hiss. it hurts. Sweeping all the way along the path in the courtyard, the body that was unaware of the exercises was slowly awakened by the pain, and she always used her arms to block Xiaoying's leg attacks. Her arms were so sore that she couldn't even lift the broom. "what happened to your hand?" The slender figure was reflected on the ground of the path. Hearing the familiar voice, Baicao was startled, and subconsciously hid her arms behind her back. "let me see." Chuyuan stretched out his hand towards her, his fingers were clean and slender, reflecting a gentle warmth in the evening sun.Why do I always meet him?Subconsciously thinking about this question, Baicao raised her arm.He rolled up the sleeves of her Taoist uniform, and saw that her arms were covered with large bruises and redness, and his brows frowned. The brook is gurgling. The evening wind was blowing in from the window of the cabin. Chuyuan carefully rubbed away the bruises on Baicao's arm, the smell of medicinal oil permeated the air, strong and warm, she lowered her head, her cheeks seemed to be slightly reddish by the sunset, occasionally she quickly raised her eyes to look at him, He was rubbing her arms intently, with a slight frown between his brows. "How did it hurt so badly?" Normal training wouldn't have bruised her so badly, unless she was totally defenseless.Rubbing her bruised and bruised skin, seeing her quietly biting her lip in pain but not saying a word, Chu Yuan couldn't help but lighten his hand. "I……" Baicao hesitated. "Ok?" "...I'm trying a method." Finally couldn't help but say it, she told him everything she saw from "Whirlwind Kicks" and her own thoughts, if she could judge the other party in advance With the intention of controlling the enemy and taking the initiative, it should have a very favorable advantage in actual combat. Chu Yuan's fingers paused, then poured some medicated oil into the palm, began to rub her left arm, and said, "Well, this idea is very good." "Really?" Baicao opened her eyes excitedly. "However, no matter how hard you practice, you may not be able to capture the feeling of living in the moment before the opponent's move. After all, that moment is very short and fleeting," looking at her eyes shining with excitement like a deer, his lips He smiled, "And this kind of practice will be very hard, can you bear it?" "Yes!" She answered without thinking. He stared at her for a few seconds, a smile slipping from the corner of his lips into his eyes.Yes, he knew that this girl was not afraid of hardship, as long as she was given a goal, she would be like a grass, even if there was a boulder pressing on it, she would grow tenaciously. "You have to promise me one thing." "it is good." No matter what Senior Chuyuan asks her to do, she will do it, and Baicao even secretly hopes that it is not an easy thing to do, so that she will feel that she can repay a little bit for the kindness Senior Chuyuan has always given her. take care of. He lowered his head and rubbed the medicated oil for her, and said, "After practice every day, you have to come here. The bruises should be rubbed off on the same day, otherwise if the old injuries are not healed, new injuries will continue, which will cause muscle damage." "Huh?" She was stunned. "That's it, can you promise me?" His fingers were gentle and firm, and with continuous rubbing, the bruises on her arms were scalded by the medicinal oil, and the bruises gradually dissipated.She wanted to shake her head and say no, she could apply the medicated oil by herself every day, but when she looked up and saw his focused and gentle face in the sunlight, she nodded for some reason. In a blink of an eye, there is only a little more than a week before the Gymnasium Challenge, and the atmosphere of preparation for the Songbai Gymnasium is getting stronger and stronger.Ruobai stepped up his practice, got up very early and went to bed very late every day, except for going to school, eating and sleeping, he basically stayed in the practice hall.Yifeng also changed from his laziness in the past, and practiced with Ruobai every day, getting up early and going to bed late, and the two of them increased the actual combat time, often sitting on the mat to rest for a while after training profusely. Xiuqin also trained very hard.Because she and Yifeng are in the same group except for the morning and evening exercises, and Yifeng mainly trains against Ruobai at other times, so Ruobai specially selected and sent several other male disciples to accompany Xiuqin in actual combat, and Xiuda naturally became her companion. The person who practiced Xiuqin the most. And the other disciples who don't need to participate, whether they are sister Xiuqin's partner or not, are trying to create the best environment and atmosphere to cooperate with Brother Ruobai and the three contestants. A blockbuster revives the prestige! Xiaoying even organized the female disciples in the gymnasium to form a cheerleading team, and began to practice various tricks and slogans every day when she was not practicing.The courtyard is the place for cheerleading activities. The girls are excitedly trying out various formation formations, waving homemade colorful flower balls in their hands. In Xiaoying's words, no matter what ranking the Songbai Gymnasium will get in the competition , Their cheerleading squad must be the most powerful, the best, the most exciting! Baicao was also forced by Xiaoying to join the cheerleading team. In the first two days, she was very reserved. When she was in Quansheng gymnasium, she was always excluded from participating in such group activities. After a long time, she no longer knew how to blend in with the crowd.Holding the flower ball clumsily, at a loss, she thought that everyone would laugh at her clumsiness, but found that she was not the only one who looked clumsy, and other girls often couldn't keep up with Xiaoying's password, and everyone just laughed at each other Joking and joking, and didn't take it seriously. Laughter and laughter turned the grassy courtyard into a happy garden. The movements of the cheerleaders gradually became uniform, colorful flower balls were waving brilliantly in the sun, and the girls shouted energetically, "Come on, come on, come on, pines and cypresses!" They gathered around to cheer and cheer, and made various suggestions. Standing in the middle of the cheerleaders, surrounded by girls with bright smiles, Baicao chanted slogans loudly and danced the flower balls rustlingly. Unknowingly, the smile on her face was as bright as The sun is the same. This smile was forced by Xiaoying at first. As a member of the cheerleading team to cheer up the brothers and sisters, the smile must be bright and bright, showing at least eight teeth, preferably ten!Xiaoying forced all the cheerleading girls to practice by themselves in front of the mirror, and Xiaoying stared at Baicao's smile herself. Baicao couldn't remember how long it had been from the initial unaccustomed to the natural expression of the smile, but one time she came back to the room after the cheerleading training and accidentally saw her face in the mirror with a big smile on her face. His smile, his eyes were bright, and his cheeks were flushed. She froze in the mirror. All along, she thought that she was not accepted and liked by others, and only by practicing Taekwondo hard can she see the satisfied smile of Master.Could it be, perhaps, that she could also be accepted by others, not be hated by others, be able to make friends, be looked at with friendly eyes, and feel warm in her heart? Just like her practice in the past two days. She is still trying to observe the starting position before the move. Every morning and evening practice, she will focus on Xiaoying's kick, observe the changes in Xiaoying's eyes, shoulders, waist, and legs at the moment before the kick, and concentrate on it. Her observations inevitably made her reactions a little slow, always eating Xiaoying's many legs. Because of the cheerleading training, the female disciples became familiar with Baicao all at once, and they no longer felt that she was just a silent weirdo, and they all started talking to her and caring about her. "Why do you seem to be in a daze when you practice these days, and you can't avoid Xiaoying's attack?" Ah Yin is a girl of the same age as her, but she went to a noble middle school, with dark skin and long hair Slightly curled waves are very nice. "Are you still sad about not being able to participate in the Gym Challenge?" Pingping gave her a worried look, and stayed by her side to help her wipe the mats. "The body is the most important thing. If you are kicked by Xiaoying every day, you still don't fight back." , it will be painful and unbearable.” Baicao tried to explain to them. They always listened in a daze, and then looked at her with a look of sympathy and worry that it would hurt her, as if they felt that she was too stimulated and whimsical, which made her become crazy and stupid.Later, they tried to avoid the topic as much as possible, only mentioning some interesting things about the cheerleading team and school, and from time to time, they helped her clean up or tidy up the practice room whenever they had time. "Go and rest, I can do it myself." Every time Baicao stopped them from helping, but every time they insisted on helping, there were various reasons, or they said: "Hurry up and clean up and finish these tasks, so you can start cheerleading training sooner. You are the main force of the cheerleading team, and we can’t do without you!” Or say: "I ate too much today, I want to do something to lose weight!" Or say: "No, I have gossip to tell you, it's more atmospheric to talk while working!" The cabin before dinner. "Is there something happy?" The bruises on her arms were less than those of the previous few days. Chu Yuan rubbed Baicao's arms with medicinal oil. Even if she didn't look up at her, she could still feel the bright and happy breath emanating from her body. "Ok!" Baicao endured it, but the smile on the corner of her mouth was still uncontrollable, and it kept shining brightly into her eyes.It was Xiaoying, A Yin and Pingping who helped her wipe all the mats in the practice hall just now, and it took less than 20 minutes to wipe them all. In fact, she is used to wiping the mats, sweeping the floor, or washing clothes. I don't feel tired at all. But- With their help, my heart is as warm as the ripples on the surface of a lake in the sun, golden and rippling gently layer by layer. "Looks like they want to be friends with me!" So wanting him to share her joy and touch, she couldn't wait to tell him everything, her brisk voice was a few degrees higher than usual, she was like a little girl who was eager to talk, pulling her most trusted person to be happy talking. "They will like you." Infected by her happiness, Chuyuan smiled, looked into her eyes that were shining with joy, and said, "As long as they get close to you and know you, they will like you." Her face flushed red. She could hear the admiration for her in his words, and suddenly felt a little uneasy amidst joy, she lowered her head awkwardly.In fact, she doesn't want everyone to like her, she just hopes that everyone will not hate her so much and reject her. "Is it because I participated in cheerleading?" If participating in group activities such as cheerleading can make it easier for everyone to accept her, then she will definitely participate in similar activities in the future. "There should be a part of the reason." Chu Yuan smiled, changed her left arm and began to rub the medicated oil, "But the more important reason may be that they feel a little guilty." "Guilty?" She didn't understand. "It was you who won the selection competition in the gymnasium, but it turned out that Xiuqin got the qualification to participate in the gymnasium challenge." "But don't everyone think that Senior Xiuqin should be the one participating? Why do you feel guilty about me?" As she spoke, her heart tightened, and her speech slowed down, "That day I impulsively said to Senior Ruobai If that happens, everyone probably hates me and thinks I'm arrogant and arrogant." "In fact, I later figured it out. I was too selfish. I only wanted to compete on my own, without considering the overall honor of Songbai Gymnasium. Senior Xiuqin represented Songbai Gymnasium. It was indeed a better choice than me. ’ she said confusedly. ‘So, nothing to feel guilty about.’ The aroma of medicinal oil permeates the cabin strongly. Chuyuan said with a smile: "This is how things are in the world. Even if you beat Xiuqin before you have the strength to completely defeat Xiuqin, if you are sent to compete, everyone will sympathize with Xiuqin and blame you. But when In the end, it was decided that Xiuqin would play, and everyone would feel that after all, you were the one who won against Xiuqin, and they would feel that they owed you." She was stunned. Kinda sad that they might be close to her for that reason.However, no matter what the reason was, she could feel that Pingping and A Yin were sincere to her. Those smiles, those sweats shed for cleaning the mat and sweeping the floor with her, all really moved her. "Aren't you happy?" Chuyuan looked at her drooping eyelashes. "No After thinking about it, she raised her head and said, "Alone, no one to talk to me, hostile to me, and the feeling of treating me as an invisible person is much sadder than not being able to participate in the Gym Challenge. If you lose the Gym Challenge I think it’s pretty good that I can get everyone’s acceptance and love for me. Moreover, no matter what the reason is for being nice to me, for me, being nice to me means being nice to me, and I will Try to be nice to them and appreciate their willingness to smile at me and talk to me." The sunset glows outside the window. 她的脸颊也被霞光映得红扑扑的，异常生动。说完那一连串的话，她顿了顿，郑重地继续对他说：“初原前辈，谢谢你告诉我这些。如果实力不足，终究是无法真正让别人心服口服的，就算是偶尔的胜利，也不能掩盖实力上的差距。所以，我会好好练功，终有一天，我要用我的实力赢得大家的认可！” “嗯，说得好，很有志气。” 小木屋的门并没有关严，少女温婉的声音从门外传来。百草一怔，扭头看去，见是婷宜正走进来，她的目光先落在初原身上，才看向百草，微笑说：“相信你会进步得很快的，期待有一天能和你打一场势均力敌的比赛。” “婷宜前辈。”百草站起身，恭敬地说。虽然那天她输给婷宜输得很惨，但是也输得心服口服。 “怎么，是受伤了？很严重吗？”婷宜走过来，见初原随意地对她点头示意了下，就继续为百草用药油揉搓手臂上的淤伤。 “没有，就是一点点淤伤。” 不知道为什么，虽然婷宜的语气很温和，可是百草却觉得有种异样的不自在，下意识地就想把胳膊从初原手中抽出来。 初原却没有容她躲开，温热的手指将她的胳膊上的肌肤揉得滚烫滚烫，说：“稍等一下，马上就好。” “没关系，不要让我妨碍了你们。”婷宜微微笑着，“对了，百草，你吃过晚饭了吗？” "not yet." “我和初原哥哥约了出去吃饭，要不你和我们一起去吧。”婷宜把手中拿着的书放在窗口的桌子上，那是几本医学书籍，然后她转过身，眼睛温柔地望着初原，虽然在对百草说话，可是她的神情却仿佛屋子里只有她和初原两个人似的。 “不用了，谢谢婷宜前辈。” 初原一松开她的手臂，百草就赶忙站起来。原来她耽误了初原前辈和婷宜前辈的约会啊，她心中不安，匆匆对初原说了声谢谢，就一刻不敢再停留，像阵风一般地跑出去。的“最近常常看到她。” 婷宜笑了笑，顺手帮初原整理起桌子上东西。也许是碰巧，连着好几次她来找他，都见到他和百草在一起。 Waited for a while. 她没有听到初原的回答。 困惑地抬起头，发现初原正望向窗外，顺着他的视线望出去，远远的，刚才从木屋里跑出去的那个女孩子的背影在霞光中变得越来越小。
