Chapter 145 Your Water, My Water

"The night is over, on the horizon~"

"I am that light~"

"Warm yourself and give others strength~"

At the entrance of the gymnasium, Li Luo was listening to Yan Zhusheng singing this song and was a little dazed for a moment.

Just yesterday, I was standing where Yan Zhusheng was standing now and sang the same song to Ying Chanxi.

At that time, I was very confident and outspoken. After the baptism of the parent-teacher meeting and the opening ceremony of the sports meeting, I was already very familiar with this kind of full-audience singing.

But at this moment, standing where Ying Chanxi stood yesterday, listening to another person singing the same song to me, I feel a completely different feeling.

Very special feeling.

Especially when Yan Zhusheng finished singing the song and simply left a sentence "Come on" into the microphone, it made everyone feel it was very intriguing.

Only Li Luo knew at the first moment that this was directed at him.

Although this idea may seem a bit narcissistic and arrogant to outsiders, it is the truth.

Of course, in addition to him, Xu Yinghuan who was sitting in the stands also guessed it at the first time. The corners of his mouth curled up wildly, and he felt like he had been hit again.

The students in Class 8 had already been spreading some news privately, and Yan Zhusheng's actions at this time only confirmed this fact again.

As for students in other classes and grades, that’s another matter.

They didn't know what the relationship between Yan Zhusheng and Li Luo was, they just thought that this girl was so confident that she was shining.

It was immediately engraved in the hearts of countless people and became an indelible light in their youth.

When they reach middle age and occasionally drink to reminisce about the past and recall their high school days, they have long forgotten the questions they did and the exams they took.

But I will remember that there was such a girl who once left a mark in my heart with a song.

Even though the two had never had any connection in high school.

In his previous life, even if Li Luo could really get into the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School, he would probably be the same as these people, but in this life, things are a little different.

Li Luo chuckled lightly, with inexplicable emotions flowing in his heart. When the song ended, the lingering sound was still there. He finally turned back to the gymnasium, lined up to register for the 3000-meter race, and followed the team leader Xu Youyu to the starting point.

Because it was the last game among all student events, the school unexpectedly relaxed the restrictions on the stands, allowing students to enter and exit freely and watch directly on the playground lawn and next to the track.

So when the 3000-meter race for the first year of high school was about to begin, many people from each class came down and crowded at the starting line and the finish line.

Many students from Class 8, led by Yan Zhusheng, gathered together.

"Come on, monitor!"

"Come on, Wei Chun too!"

Zhu Yufei and Zhang Guohuang shouted from the side.

Li Luo looked over there and soon met Yan Zhusheng's gaze.

Yan Zhusheng didn't shout "Come on!" because he had already done that just now, so he just waved at him and silently gave him a thumbs up.

Li Luo laughed in silence, and then, under the teacher's arrangement, he stood on the starting line, lined up with the others, and waited for the start signal.

In the stands, Ying Chanxi, who was unable to move due to a knee injury, stared at the crowded crowd below, pouting and looking a little unhappy.

Seeing her like this, Qiao Xinyan comforted her, "It's also good to be in the stands. You can have a panoramic view of the whole situation. Isn't it clearer?"

Ying Chanxi pursed her lips, thinking that this was only a small part of the reason why she was in a bad mood.

But she was too embarrassed to say much to Qiao Xinyan, so she could only nod and wait silently for the game to begin.

At this time, Li Luo, who was standing at the starting line, saw that the teacher was not ready to say start, so he looked around and did not find any brothers who looked like athletes.

However, Lu Wei from the next class squeezed to the seat next to Li Luo with a smile on his face, and it seemed that he was determined to compete with him.

As for Liu Shaowen on the other side, he didn't take the 3000-meter race seriously at all. His goal was to finish the race. At this moment, he was relaxed and chatting with Li Luo.

"Don't worry, Li Luo. Ying Chanxi is in our class. It's okay if her leg is injured. Our classmates will take good care of her."

"I'm not worried about that." Li Luo responded casually. He was a little confused about Liu Shaowen's train of thought. Why was this kid so enthusiastic about him recently?

Finally, the teacher was almost ready. He raised a small flag towards the finish line and asked the contestants to get ready.

"Everyone take your place."

"preparation--"

"run!"

With a simple command, Li Luo rushed out from the starting line.

Perhaps due to the daily morning and night jogging in recent times, plus the school's morning break calisthenics activities, Li Luo's physical fitness is very good.

If it was the body of 35 years old in the previous life, Li Luo could hardly imagine that he could rush out at such a speed and not feel so heavy or tired. Instead, he would feel a sense of lightness.

With a push of his feet, he flew forward lightly, his whole body filled with a kind of youthful power.

In the first place, Li Luo remained in the first echelon overall.

In this 3000-meter race, each class theoretically had two registration spots, but in reality the quota was not full.

In some classes, no one wanted to attend, and maybe only one person signed up. So in the end, only 25 or 26 people showed up for the competition.

In the first half of the race, the twenty-odd people were suddenly divided into groups.

The ones lagging behind are obviously those who are just there to make up the numbers. Many of them are fat and are totally unsuitable for long-distance running.

It's simply because no one in the class chose this project, so I was forced to choose this project. I was just cannon fodder when I was brought up.

These are the people in the third echelon, there are probably seven or eight of them.

Counting forward, there is a huge second-tier team, and Wei Chun is among them.

There were at least twelve or thirteen people in there. They were crowded at first, but later they formed a long line and followed each other closely.

As for the first echelon, there are four or five people including Li Luo. They obviously have good endurance and have been in the forefront from the beginning.

When running the second lap, Li Luo was originally following a classmate in front of him, but Lu Wei suddenly appeared halfway and squeezed into the second place.

Li Luo did not compete with him. He was happy that someone was shielding him from the wind, so he just ran quietly behind Lu Wei.

But in fact, Lu Wei simply consumed a lot of physical energy to rush up from the second echelon team.

The purpose is to catch up with Li Luo's progress.

He didn't expect that Li Luo had some ability. He was already so far ahead at the beginning of the 3000 meters. He couldn't stand it and sprinted up immediately.

In particular, he specially chose the position where Gao Yuqin would watch the game on the lawn.

When he passed Li Luo in front of Gao Yuqin, a surge of pride welled up in his heart, and he ran with more energy.

Li Luo didn't care and just followed Lu Wei.

But Ying Chanxi in the stands clenched his fists and muttered quietly, "What are you doing? Why don't you overtake after being overtaken? It's driving me crazy."

A 3000-meter long-distance race is a full seven and a half laps on a track with one lap being 400 meters.

Li Luo was not in a hurry. He always adjusted his pace, maintaining a speed slightly faster than his usual morning jog, and keeping his breathing and pace even.

On the contrary, Lu Wei, who was running in the front, was caught up by Li Luo from time to time on the straight road because he could not run anymore, so he gritted his teeth and accelerated.

He repeated this three or four times. By the time he reached the fourth lap, Lu Wei was already panting, sweating profusely, and his entire rhythm was messed up.

By the fifth lap, his feet felt as if they were filled with lead and he was easily overtaken by Li Luo.

But when he wanted to speed up again to overtake, he found that his legs could no longer move. As soon as the breath in his chest relaxed, in the blink of an eye, Lu Wei was overtaken by several people one by one, and finally fell to the end of the second echelon, barely surviving.

Li Luo didn't care much about Lu Wei, he just looked at the back of the first person in front of him.

He originally thought that the other party would be a sports student.

But looking at the strength, it doesn't seem like it.

When he ran the last lap and a half, Li Luo's body felt heavy, and his nose and lips were burning hot due to his intense breathing.

The chest cavity was blowing air like a blower.

I could hear the shouts of my classmates from Class 8.

Countless people's eyes fell on him.

When it came to the last lap, I successfully surpassed the person in front of me, and with the remaining energy after seven laps, I sprinted in one breath!

Cross the finish line!
The shouts shook the heavens and the earth!
Li Luo's head was buzzing. He took deep breaths of fresh air, as if he was a homeless man who had been hungry for eight hundred years. His chest rose and fell violently, and he felt weak all over.

Zhu Yufei and Zhang Guohuang hurried over, each holding one side of him, and following the physical education teacher's instructions, they took Li Luo to walk slowly on the playground.

"You can't sit down and rest now. The physical education teacher said that you should walk more and you can sit down after you have recovered."

"I know..." Li Luo responded weakly, and then couldn't help looking at Xu Youyu who came over to congratulate him, "Senior, didn't you say there was a sports student? Where is he?"

"Ah? Don't you know? That PE student sprained his ankle during training two days ago, so he didn't participate in the competition." Xu Youyu said, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, when the PE teacher was calling people, you ran to the door to listen to Zhusheng singing."

Li Luo: “…”

Hearing what Xu Youyu said, Yan Zhusheng's eyes flickered, and then he walked silently to Li Luo, took out a bottle of water, unscrewed the lid, and handed it to Li Luo's mouth.

Li Luo didn't think much about it, he just opened his mouth and poured it into his mouth to replenish his water.

"Squad leader, squad leader!" Xu Yinghuan ran over from not far away and pointed to the center of the lawn. "The people over there are calling you to come over to receive your medal and take a photo."

After walking on the lawn for about ten minutes, the brother who was outnumbered by Li Luo finally finished the whole course.

After the rankings were calculated, Li Luo was helped to the podium, stood in the highest champion position, took a gold medal from the physical education teacher, and hung it around his neck.

When the filming was over, Li Luo was surrounded by classmates from Class 8 and returned to his seat in the stands. He let out a long sigh and was thinking about finishing the bottle of water he had just drunk.

As a result, when he turned his head, he watched Yan Zhusheng unscrew the bottle of water and drink it down with gulps.

"Oh no..." Li Luo's eyes widened, "Isn't this water mine?"

"Ah?" Yan Zhusheng was stunned for a moment. "This water was originally mine. I just gave you a sip because you were too thirsty."

Hearing Yan Zhusheng say such naive and innocent words, Li Luo fell into silence for a moment and was unable to speak for a long time.
