Chapter 23: Winning
Chapter 23
The boy stumbled out of the school gate, his glasses were broken, and his backpack had long since turned into a dirty brown color.
The home was not close to the school, but the boy did not choose to take the convenient bus at the school gate to go home.
Instead, he chose to walk, bypassing the prosperous commercial center, and walked for two hours before arriving at a dilapidated residential building.
The environment here was similar to that near "Do Come Happy", with small alleys with twists and turns.
He raised his steps upstairs not very smoothly, and stopped in front of a shack.
He did not immediately walk in, but ran to another small room next to the shack.
He had two sets of clothes, one to change into when he went home, and one to wear to school.
Why not take turns to change?
Because the set worn at school was destined to get dirty.
After changing, he took off his already broken glasses, washed his face, and pushed the door to walk into the room.
"Mom..." Qi Yili looked at his long-sleeping mother, peaceful and calm.
He really wanted to stay longer, at least he should have persisted until the college entrance examination.
But, he really couldn't hold on anymore.....
"Family members, the school sports meet will begin next week!"
"Now we need to sign up candidates for each event, participate actively! Family members!" Guan Yongyan shouted vigorously at the podium, lacking only a horn.
"Don't make it difficult for me as the only member of the life committee! Brothers! Old Peng specially asked me yesterday to require everyone to participate as much as possible if they can! Otherwise, there will be no more PE classes in the future! We must fill out the form!"
At this point, as usual, whoever speaks out will be the one to sign up.
Seeing that most people kept their heads down silently, not speaking out, afraid of being pulled in, Guan Yongyan was angry!
"Kong Jie! As the vice monitor you should lead by example, sign up for a 1000m race first!"
"And Wang Buwei, aren't you usually active at fooling around! Sign up for a 200m plus a high jump!"
"And who else, you...."
Guan Yongyan directly assigned roles on the podium, directly making arrangements, no one could think of escaping!
Weren't you guys quiet just now! I'll sign you up directly!
"No! Sister Yan! You are my only sister! I can't run fast! And my feet have been swollen these past few days! I'm afraid I won't even be able to run in the school sports meet these few days!"
"Although.....however....I'm really weak and sick...." Wang Buwei directly pretended to faint.
"Sister Yan! Let Zhou Zhou go! Zhou Zhou can replace two people! He is my good brother, it is his honor to run for me!" Kong Jie was cued and quickly came up with a witty response.
"Yeah! Zhou Zhou is awesome!"
"Zhou Zhou! Zhou Zhou! Zhou Zhou!"
The boys in the class hurriedly cheered! It was said that a dead friend is better than a poor friend!
Zhou Zhou, as one of the few sports students in the class, was naturally a popular candidate for the sports meets in previous years. If he didn't sign up, who would!
Moreover, he had almost won all the gold medals for the boys in tenth grade. The others were just going to deliver free points.
And there were also students from the sports class. Zhou Zhou was the only one in the class who could compete with them!
"We can't rely entirely on Zhou Zhou either. He has to agree to it! If he doesn't agree, you guys won't be able to escape either!" Guan Yongyan said.
Thus, the boys in the class who didn't want to run looked at Zhou Zhou expectantly with anticipating eyes.
"What do you think? Transfer student?" Zhou Zhou poked Yan Xi with his pen.
"Good thing." Yan Xi turned her head and smiled as she watched the lively scene.
Zhou Zhou also smiled: "I'll sign up for you, you sign up for me, how about it?"
"I'll run whichever event Yan Xi chooses." Zhou Zhou said aloud.
This was directly shifting the pressure onto her!
Eyes gathered on Yan Xi again, everyone anticipating Yan Xi to agree.
"How to determine the winner?" Yan Xi asked.
How would they determine victory or defeat?
"If you win one championship in the events I choose, you win. If I win all the championships in the events you choose, I win. What do you think, transfer student?" Zhou Zhou had almost written "You're a weakling" on his face.
This rule was clearly looking down on girls.
"Is it too demanding? Don't dare to agree? Afraid of losing?" Zhou Zhou looked at her provocatively.
With her thin arms and legs, he reckoned she couldn't even outrun him in three laps.
"Alright, I'll do my best." Yan Xi stood up and said to all her classmates, agreeing to it.
There were cheers in the classroom again.
But why would she care about that so-called looking down?
What she wanted was to win.
