Chapter 138 Xixi's Worries

In the campus of the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School, there are almost no people in the teaching building, but the playground is bustling with people.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Li Luo called Lin Yuan and Zhang Guohuang, who had no competition to participate in at the moment, and went to the school wall at the edge of the playground.

I successfully got two large boxes of snacks from my uncle Lin Xiufeng. They were all bought at wholesale prices and didn’t cost much.

Lin Yuan and Zhang Guohuang were asked to carry a box each back to the stands, and Li Luo asked Hua Xiuxiu to arrange for distribution to the classmates, which was greeted with a round of cheers.

The students in the next class were envious, but this was a benefit given by the monitor of Class 8 after all, so everyone could only watch and feel a little envious in their hearts.

For Li Luo, even though he is not yet an adult and many ways to make big money are still difficult to find, spending a few hundred dollars is no longer a pressure for him at all.

It's nice to be able to make people around you happy.

Compared to those guys who spend a lot of money on bags, clothes and cosmetics in order to pursue a girl, spending thousands or tens of thousands without seeing any ripples, his is considered quite cost-effective.

However, after distributing snacks to everyone as instructed by Li Luo, Hua Xiuxiu returned to her seat, took out an English vocabulary list, and began to memorize words silently.

Lin Yuan, who was standing by, held up a parasol and sat next to Hua Xiuxiu to block the sun for her so that she could see the contents of the vocabulary list clearly without hurting her eyes.

The other students in the class were laughing and whispering, but they were no longer surprised by this scene.

Only when Kong Junxiang occasionally came over to inspect and see what everyone was doing would Lin Yuan quietly put away his umbrella and pretend that he knew nothing.

There are several students like Hua Xiuxiu in every class in the stands who study hard even during sports meets.

In addition to Hua Xiuxiu, there are Lu Jiahao, Wei Chun, Jin Yuting, and Shi Yanran in Class 8.

On the contrary, there are a bunch of active guys like Zhu Yufei, Zhang Guohuang, Xu Yinghuan, who walk around everywhere, eat, drink, have fun, and laugh. They are completely different from the group above.

Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng are somewhere in between.

I didn't use this time to study, nor did I go crazy and have fun. I just sat in my seat and watched the game.

Occasionally, when Yan Zhusheng was in a good mood, he would play the harmonica for Li Luo.

Ever since she heard that Li Luo could write songs, Xu Yinghuan insisted that Li Luo sing for her.

Li Luo was so annoyed by this guy that he had no choice but to let Yan Zhusheng simply accompany him and sing "Light Chaser".

After a song was finished, Xu Yinghuan took the lead in applauding, and many people from the neighboring classes were also attracted.

But compared to Li Luo, they were obviously more interested in Yan Zhusheng: "Can we let the lead singer next to us sing?"

Yan Zhusheng blinked, not caring whether to sing or not. He just handed the harmonica to Li Luo with a look that said, "Why don't you accompany me?"

Li Luo naturally laughed and said to the people in the next class, "Wait until the closing ceremony to listen. There is a fee for private listening."

"So the song just now was really written by the monitor himself?" Xu Yinghuan approached Yan Zhusheng and asked curiously, "This is amazing, I can't believe it. Li Luo, why weren't you so amazing when you were in junior high school?"

"It suddenly dawned on me." Li Luo twitched his lips, thinking that this song "Light Chaser" was useless, at least it couldn't be used in the book.

Otherwise, he knew that among the people in the class, Zhu Yufei and Zhang Guohuang were the only ones reading his novels.

Who knows if the other boys in the same dormitory with them were also watching.

If it is found out after being written into the book, I will never be able to wash myself clean even if I jump into the Yellow River.

"Yan Zhusheng, Xu Yinghuan." Zhu Yufei, who had just finished the men's 100m race and won first place in his group, returned to the stands and shouted to his seat, "The 200m preliminaries will begin soon, so you two should get ready."

"It's your turn again." Li Luo said.

"It's a pity that I didn't make it to the finals in the 100m." Xu Yinghuan sighed. Her result in the 100m preliminaries was only 13th, while Ying Chanxi was in 8th place and barely made it.

Needless to say, Yan Zhusheng easily won the first place, worthy of being the woman who broke the school record in junior high school.

"Zhusheng, before we go to report, can you accompany me to the toilet?" Xu Yinghuan hugged Yan Zhusheng's arm and said, "After going to the toilet, just go directly to the gymnasium."

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng nodded and looked at Li Luo before leaving.

Li Luo understood what she meant at a glance, so he stood up and patted his butt: "Then I'll go to the gymnasium and wait for you, and then I'll cheer you on."

Yan Zhusheng nodded without saying a word, and successfully completed the communication. He then followed Xu Yinghuan to form a team to conquer the toilet dungeon.

Watching the two people leaving, Li Luo was not in a hurry. He slowly walked down from his seat, approached Lin Yuan and said, "Teacher Kong is here."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yuan reflexively put away his umbrella, then pretended to stand up and walked to the railing, looking around, and then became angry and said, "Squad leader, you lied to me!"

"Here." Li Luo stuffed a bag of snacks into his hand, "Our deputy monitor has worked hard in her studies, you can give her some energy."

"Oh, oh, oh..." Lin Yuan held the snacks in his hand with a hint of emotion on his face. According to Li Luo's instructions, he sat back next to Hua Xiuxiu silently.

As for what happened next, Li Luo didn't know.

He had left the stands and was walking along the edge of the playground towards the gymnasium.

When passing by the rostrum halfway, Li Luo saw Xu Youyu on the stage, so he stopped, then walked up the stairs and greeted him.

"You don't have any work this morning, right? Why are you still out here?" Xu Youyu was giving instructions to the two sports meeting hosts at the moment. When he saw Li Luo coming up, he immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Yan Zhusheng is going to compete, and as the squad leader, I have to go down there and cheer him on."

"Don't just cheer for them to come on." Xu Youyu pointed to the pile of news releases on the table. "Among the 48 classes from grade one to grade three, your class submitted the least."

"I've written so much, and you can't finish reading it." Li Luo looked at the basket of manuscripts under his feet and was speechless. "It must be hard for you to read it non-stop for three days and two nights."

"How can I read them all?" Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him. "There are always good ones, so I'll pick them out and read them."

When Xu Youyu said this, the male host over there had already picked out a good one and began to recite it with passion and emotion.

Li Luo got goosebumps when he heard this. He twitched his lips and asked, "There are 48 classes. How many copies do you read in a day? If you divide it up, each class will only have a few copies to read."

"After all, I have to report other things, so reading this is mainly to fill the blank time." Xu Youyu crossed his arms and said, "In two and a half days, I probably have to read hundreds of articles."

"There are only three or four in a class?" Li Luo raised his eyebrows and said.

"Can you please stop being lazy about the tasks assigned by the school?"

"How could I be lazy, Mr. President?" Li Luo said with a smile. After the male host finished reciting, he waved to him and gestured to give him the microphone.

The classmate was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xu Youyu.

"Ahem... give it to him." Xu Youyu glanced at Li Luo and said to the male host, then reminded, "What do you want the microphone for?"

"Read the press release." Li Luo said this, took the microphone, coughed twice to clear his throat, and then turned on the microphone.

"On this green field, the flame of youth is burning brightly."

"The sports meet is not only a contest of speed and strength, but also a feast of spirit and will."

"Each athlete is a gust of wind on the track and a fierce tiger in the field events, interpreting the sports spirit of 'higher, faster, stronger' with practical actions."

“Teamwork, individual breakthroughs, every cheer, every hug, are the most sincere tribute to the spirit of sports.”

"The sports meet is not only a stage for competition, but also a place for the spirit to dance. Let us witness this tribute to youth together!"

Imitating the tone of the male host just now, Li Luo read the draft passionately, then returned the microphone with both hands: "Mr. President, is this draft okay? It should be able to get a passing score, right?"

Xu Youyu: "...That's all there is to it."

"I'll come back in the afternoon." Li Luo raised his eyebrows. "Same thing tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I'll take care of all the quota for our class, so that everyone won't have to bring in some crappy food to fill the numbers."

"I'm really impressed by you." Xu Youyu held his forehead with his right hand and sighed. "You are so capable, why don't you just take charge of all the press releases, so I don't have to ask people to go to each class to urge them."

"That won't do." Li Luo shook his head again and again, "I'm busy. I'll be leaving now."

After escaping from Xu Youyu, Li Luo finally strolled to the gymnasium.

Yan Zhusheng and Xu Yinghuan had just finished using the restroom and rushed here. After seeing Li Luo, Yan Zhusheng said curiously, "I seemed to hear your voice just now."

"I was forced to serve as a literary soldier." Li Luo shrugged, took the harmonica from Yan Zhusheng and put it in his pocket.

After a simple registration and queuing, Yan Zhusheng and Xu Yinghuan quickly followed the team onto the field.

Relying on the dog tag on his neck, Li Luo had a smooth journey and followed the others to the starting point of the 200-meter track.

As the gun sounded, Li Luo looked at Yan Zhusheng's running back while strolling towards the 200-meter finish line.

In the end, there was no suspense as Yan Zhusheng crossed the finish line in a dashing manner.

After the men's 200m preliminaries ended, it was already noon.

Ying Chanxi and Qiao Xinyan found Li Luo and others and went to the cafeteria to eat together.

"Li Luo, don't go yet." Ying Chanxi took a photo with Qiao Xinyan first, and then took a group photo with Yan Zhusheng, Xu Yinghuan and Jin Yuting.

Finally it was Li Luo's turn.

After Ying Chanxi tilted her head and leaned close to Li Luo's body and successfully took the photo, Jin Yuting beside her asked curiously, "Xixi, when did you buy a new camera?"

"This is a gift from Li Luo." Ying Chanxi smiled happily and shook the Polaroid camera in his hand. "After taking the photos, I can develop them in a short while. It's very convenient."

"This seems quite expensive." Jin Yuting looked at the Polaroid camera and couldn't help saying, "I remember my cousin had one, it cost several thousand, and the photo paper is also very expensive, one photo costs several dollars, and you've lost dozens of dollars after taking these photos."

After hearing what Jin Yuting said, Ying Chanxi suddenly reacted and realized something, then turned to look at Li Luo.

Because she usually had living expenses and pocket money given by Ying Zhicheng, she didn't have a clear sense of consumption for these items worth thousands of dollars.

But when Jin Yuting reminded him of this, Ying Chanxi realized that Li Luo's family already had a mortgage, so where did he get the money to buy such an expensive camera?
Could it be given by my uncle and aunt?

What if my uncle and aunt knew that this was a gift for me... it would cost thousands more... Ying Chanxi bit her lip and fell silent, feeling a little panicked in her heart.

At this time, Li Luo was still unaware and didn't notice Ying Chanxi's expression at all. He just said, "It's just a gift. Talking about money will hurt feelings. Let's go eat quickly. We are almost starving."
