Chapter 46 Chapter 45: Lao Tzu's People (No.248 - No.251)

Two things happened at the end of March. The first is that the poplar trees around Zhenhua are covered with caterpillars, and the annual pest disaster in our city comes again. The second thing is that Sheng Huainan fell in love early.The object is a goddess in the second grade of high school, she is extremely beautiful, but unfortunately her grades are not good, and she never studies; but this disparity adds a very legendary color to this relationship. The word "puppy love" can instantly bring people back to the era when "Flower Season and Rainy Season" was popular all over the country.Because my mother is unreasonably strict with my daughter who is obviously very reassuring, I was naturally instilled with old and conservative ideas.

There is a constant quarrel between the budding heart and the regulated head, so other people's legends become all the more alluring. This big gossip quickly made us both in the first and second grades of high school.I, β, and Jian Jian spent half a day besieging Yu Huai, hoping to swindle some news from him. But Yu Huai's answer was that he didn't know. "The friendship between us men is not so vulgar, why bother so much." He glanced at the three of us disdainfully, picked up the basketball from the windowsill and went out. In the end, β spread his hands and said, look how great it would be if Yu Huai was a woman, and the questions and answers will definitely be enjoyable for both guests and hosts.It was a good show for nothing.

It's not good that Yu Huai is a woman, you know what.I gave β a blank look behind my back. I just occasionally thought that Sheng Huainan, as a model for all the top students in Zhenhua, had such an open concept and such a bold style, I couldn't help but make me look forward to a certain stupid big guy around me. Of course, it's just a thought. At the beginning of May, the Zhenhua High School Women's Volleyball League started vigorously. As a sports committee member, Yu Huai's life has become extremely busy. The physical education teacher selected six regular players and three substitutes from the female students who performed well in volleyball class.

"Anyway, you all play the same badly, and you are stupid. I don't expect to learn how to set the ball and smash the ball. It is enough to be able to pad the ball, serve the ball over the net, grow tall, and have thick flesh and not be afraid of being smashed..." Wait, what does it mean that people are stupid and not afraid of being smashed? ! After finishing the selection criteria, the physical education teacher sighed and announced the team list. Among the official team members happened to be me, β, Jian Jian and Wen Xiaoxiao. β was originally very disgusted with things like being exposed to the sun, but Zhang Ping couldn't stand it anymore. At the mobilization meeting, Zhang Ping asked all the selected women's volleyball players to stand up, and when he saw β, he smiled and said: "That's good!" Well."

Jian Jian and I racked our brains to figure out what this "not bad" really means, but at the end of last semester, Zhang Ping had a secret conversation with β's parents, which completely changed the living conditions of β at home, so even if Zhang Ping said It was a "big mistake", and β was willing to devote all his energy to training. Wen Xiaoxiao also showed an extraordinary enthusiasm for this sport, and she would not hesitate to lose two pairs of glasses within a week. And my enthusiasm may come from Yu Huai just like hers. When the women's volleyball team trains, they often find a group of boys as opponents to practice with. Yu Huai is the main force of the training partner, and we practice one-on-one with us.

It's a pity that as long as the opponent is him, Wen Xiaoxiao and I can't catch the ball. Nonsense, it's you, aren't you nervous! Yu Huai is very gentle to Wen Xiaoxiao: "Take your time", "Don't worry", "Predict the landing point according to the trajectory of the ball", "Don't always put your hands in the posture of passing one pass, it will slow down your movement speed"... Anyway, the guidance is decent. As for "are you a pig?" "Did the teacher choose you to be a meat shield?" You came to us as an undercover agent"...these are all directed at me.

I was so angry that I begged my dad to buy me a high-end soft volleyball with small fluff on it, and spent half an hour every day practicing cricket against the outer wall of the building. At the beginning, there were dense purple-red bleeding spots on the inside of the wrist, but they gradually disappeared. This gnashing of teeth made me progress so fast.Gradually, I can use moderate strength to control the trajectory of the ball against the wall, and I can pad the ball dozens of times without interruption. This kind of progress is more satisfying and exciting than the hard nuts of the exponential logarithmic function in the last semester.

I looked down at my dirty hands, as if I had rediscovered Geng Geng in my body. It feels so good. But when facing Yu Huai, my level is still surprisingly bad. I'm not a pretty girl, but when facing the boy I like, I still care about posture, so I don't want to run vigorously to save the ball, because I'm afraid that when I exert my strength, my face will be hideous; the center of gravity is not moved down enough in the preparation posture, because I feel that the buttocks are bent over looks like a gorilla... If the opposite partner is another boy, such as Xu Yanliang or something, I can play at a level that is better than β and the others.Yu Huai looked at it for a while and felt strange. During class, he would pull my half-length hair and ask me why.

Alas, this makes me unable to speak. You are a big fool. It's a pity that we only won the first game of the women's volleyball game. After entering the top ten, we were defeated by the second class of women's volleyball team. The level of the high school amateur women's volleyball league is just like this. The combination of setters and spikes is out of the question, and more than half of the points are related to serving.There are a few female warriors in the second class, and they are so powerful when serving the ball. Wen Xiaoxiao's glasses were blown away at the beginning of the game. Even though I have a firm face, I still had a nosebleed after catching the ball with my face.

We lost quickly. What is gratifying is that Class Two won the championship later, so we were considered honorary runners-up—of course, this is all for a later story. After I left the field, I squatted on the ground covering my nose for a long time, but I couldn't stop the bleeding and didn't dare to raise my head.There was a group of people around me who were concerned about me, I heard Xu Yanliang’s voice, Han Xu and Zhu Yao, and Wen Xiaoxiao, who had just left the stage, also yelled that the second class was wicked (probably because the glasses were blown away , personality has also mutated); Jian and β, who were still stubbornly resisting on the field, shouted without any scruples: "Geng Geng, you wait for the sisters to avenge you, and you will pay for your blood!"

I was so moved that the more I wanted to cry, the more my nosebleeds surged. I don't know who suddenly grabbed my collar and ran towards the teaching building with me.I covered my nose, the white T-shirt was stained red drop by drop, and I turned my head to look at the person who was pulling me to run. It was Yu Huai, it really was Yu Huai, pulling my arm, and ran into the building angrily. Alas, how should I put it, the image that I coyly maintained during the simulation practice was completely destroyed at this moment of collapse. "Wait, I'm going to beat Lin Yang to death. The girls he trained are all fucking transsexuals. They have bigger muscles than me. Anyone who dares to hit me, I think he is tired of work." Lao Tzu's people. In fact, I know that "Lao Tzu's people" is the abbreviation of "people trained by Lao Tzu". But I just couldn't help my eyes turning red because of these four words. Just let me get it wrong for once. Yu Huai and I had a total of four hands, all busy patting water on my forehead.The sound of rushing water washed away the noisy playground and competition outside the glass door. "Okay, okay, stop bleeding," he took out a pack of "Xinxiangyin" and handed it to me, "Stop it." I pulled out one, tore it open, rolled it up and stuffed it into my nostril, then wiped my face with the rest of the paper. The T-shirt was ruined, but there was nothing I could do about it. He stared at me and suddenly smiled. "What's wrong?" I know that I must look very funny now, there are glaring bloodstains on my chest, my bangs are all wet, and they are all lifted up, revealing my forehead, and there may be dust on my face that I haven't wiped off, it must be ridiculous. Yu Huai shook his head and said, "I suddenly felt that you might look better if you had long hair." I froze.What's the meaning? Just when I was thinking about this sentence blankly, I suddenly heard a "click" in my ear. "What are you doing? Why are you holding my camera?" I reached out and grabbed it. Yu Huai didn't dodge, and let me grab it. In addition to the horrible dementia patient he just took in the latest photo, there are more than 20 consecutive photos, all of which are me. The me who hugged and celebrated with β, Jian Jian and others, the me who gritted my teeth and wrinkled my face when receiving a pass, the me who jumped up and laughed after scoring a serve... Although not as good as mine. It's the best I've ever seen. I held the camera in my arms, and there were drops of water dripping on the screen.I don't know if it's the water on the ends of my hair or the water in my eyes. "There is something wrong with you, are you stupid?" Yu Huai reached out and patted my head, but I turned my head away and ran away with the camera in my arms. Looking back, I can still see the startled boy standing in front of a row of faucets, rendered extremely gentle by the sunlight. I can't let you see, Yu Huai, I'm too ugly to cry.
