Chapter 2 Failure is the mother of success
The British Lloyd's Insurance Company once bought a ship from an auction market. The ship was launched in 1894 and had encountered icebergs 138 times, ran aground 116 times, caught fire 13 times, and had its masts broken by storms 207 times in the Atlantic Ocean, but it had never sunk.
So, I have only failed three times. Compared with this weathered ship, I am very lucky, so -
The moon was full in the sky, and the air was filled with the scent of lilies.
I lay on the bed and wrote my homework seriously. Alas, after entering the second year of high school, the homework is getting more and more, and more and more difficult. My middle finger has a thick callus because of writing too many words.
Finally, when the hour hand reached 9, I finally finished the thick stack of homework.
The much-anticipated weekend is coming!
I can sleep in tomorrow and work on my next plan.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel excited. Although I have been in a period of failure recently, failure is the mother of success. This wise saying has taken root, sprouted, blossomed and borne fruit in my heart since I was a child.
As long as people have the spirit of perseverance, they will be able to achieve their goals.
Early the next morning, I opened the bottle cap of "Super Crossing Magic Spirit" again and chanted the spell.
I suddenly realized that I had become accustomed to wearing the same clothes. For me, time travel has become as common as taking bus No. 9 to go to school every day.
I lay on the balcony, waiting for the wind to blow.
The previous failed experiences proved two things. First, calling would not work; second, Chu Yuanxi could not escape. So, I had to outsmart him. Humph, with the ability of Huangfu Xiacao, the most beautiful girl in the universe, it would definitely not be a problem to deal with Chu Yuanxi.
"Hua La La——" the wind came as promised, and my gorgeous props floated over again.
I rushed to Jin Yixin's door at lightning speed, then tidied my appearance, showed a smile of an invincible beautiful girl, and quickly reached out to press the doorbell.
After two "ding dong, ding dong" sounds, the door opened.
My eyes sparkled as I stared at the handsome and cool young man Jin Yixin standing at the door. Oh my god, I'm not saying it, he's just too handsome, too sunny, too charming, too fascinating...
"Who are you looking for?" Jin Yixin's cold voice came.
I quickly retracted my infatuated expression, raised my head, and said with a smile: "Well, I'm the new neighbor. My clothes were blown onto your balcony just now, and I want to go in and get them back."
I practiced this opening line and the smile on my face countless times last night.
The cold expression on Jin Yixin's face did not change at all, he just stepped aside to let me in.
"Wow!" I couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
When you visit someone's home for the first time, you must praise their home for being beautiful. I took a deep breath and said with shining eyes: "Jin Yixin, your home is so beautiful!"
I turned my head and saw that Jin Yixin's look was a little unusual. Did I say something wrong?
A drop of cold sweat slid across my forehead, and I recalled what I had just said... Oh my god, I probably didn't know his name was Jin Yixin at that time. Damn it, I got carried away when I was proud, and I talked nonsense when I got carried away.
"Hey, daredevil, what a coincidence, we meet again today." Chu Yuanxi's voice suddenly floated over, turning his head -
No way, Chu Yuanxi was sitting on the sofa, holding a box of instant noodles in his hand, looking at me with a bright smile.
He put down the instant noodles in his hand, rubbed against me with an ambiguous smile on his face, and asked with a smile: "Hey, daredevil, how did you find out that I live here?"
Uh, how did I find out that you live here? You are so self-indulgent!
I curled my lips, turned my head and looked at him with disdain, and said angrily in my heart: "Go away, don't follow me."
What the hell! Chu Yuanxi is like a fly, and I am like a piece of nectar. He is always buzzing around me, even more annoying than the "Buzz Zula" in the South Africa World Cup.
Hate it, hate it, don’t follow me. If you follow me again, don’t blame me for being rude to you.
At this time, pleasant piano sounds came from the room next to me. I turned my head and looked at Jin Yixin. Oh, Chu Yuanxi is so annoying. Why is he blocking me?
Damn it! I looked up and glared at him fiercely, then raised my fist and waved it at him, mouthing, “Get away from me! If you continue to be so ignorant, don’t blame me for being rude!”
Chu Yuanxi immediately put on a frightened expression, fell on the sofa beside him, and said with a playful smile: "Okay, just ask whatever you want to ask!"
I quickly put away my ferocious expression, looked at Jin Yixin, and asked curiously, "Who's playing the piano in there? It sounds so good!"
"Aren't you here to pick up clothes?" Jin Yixin said indifferently.
I pulled the corners of my mouth and nodded awkwardly. I haven't even smashed his flowerpot yet, why does he look so lifeless?
I walked towards the balcony reluctantly, muttering to myself: Is it that my memory is wrong, or is Jin Yixin just this kind of person? Has he been mean to me from the beginning?
Forget it, never mind. I’m here to take off the label of “dare-hearted guy”, not to study Jin Yixin’s character.
I looked at the underwear that was blown onto their balcony by the wind and began to feel conflicted.
There was nothing on the balcony except a few pots of flowers, and my underwear was hanging on a pot of spider plant. I stretched out my hand and jumped several times, but I couldn't reach it. It seemed that with my height and jumping ability, it was not an easy task to take it down with bare hands.
"Um, does your family have a longer stick or pole or something like that? I want to get my things down!" I asked very ladylike, but Jin Yixin seemed not to hear what I said at all. His eyes were always on the door where the piano sound came from.
"No." Chu Yuanxi answered without hesitation and walked over with a swagger.
What a sin! Why does he always appear? I began to believe Luo Xiaoman's words from the bottom of my heart.
No, no, I don't believe it, I can't believe it even if you kill me, it's just a coincidence. Maybe it was specially arranged by God, in this time and space, he and I were destined to meet. That's why I met him again and again.
Chu Yuanxi's tall body blocked most of the sunlight when he stood there, and then he reached out and took my underwear in his hand.
"Ah, thank you!" I forced an extremely cute smile.
Even though I was filled with hatred, I still thanked him like a lady. I wanted to leave the best impression on Jin Yixin.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Let me take a look!" Chu Yuanxi raised his hands above his head and narrowed his eyes.
What the hell? I already thanked him, but he still wanted to look at it. What’s so good about other people’s personal belongings?
I jumped up while reaching out, trying to grab his arm and take the thing back. However, no matter how I jumped, I was still a long way from his hand.
So, the two of us started to circle around on the balcony. I went left, he went right; I went right, he went left. Anyway, with my height disadvantage, I couldn't get the things back from him no matter what.
"Hey——" I yelled, unable to bear it any longer.
Chu Yuanxi lowered his head and looked down at me condescendingly, but he still didn't put his hands down. Instead, he put my underwear on the pot of spider plant again.
Suddenly, he came close to me and said, "Hey, you daredevil, your true colors are revealed!"
What? What on earth is this guy talking about?
My heart was pounding. Hadn't he and I just had a head-on confrontation the day before? How did he know my true form?
"Don't pretend. You were snooping around our house on the balcony opposite just now, and I saw it clearly. Let me tell you, I saw every move you made." Chu Yuanxi said proudly, and from time to time he gestured my hideous face just now.
I turned my head and glanced at Jin Yixin. No wonder he was not enthusiastic towards me at all. It turned out that they all saw me being infatuated and measuring the distance just now.
Oops, oops, miscalculation! Serious mistake!
It is true that one misstep can lead to eternal regret. Even the wisest man can make a thousand mistakes.
However, now is not the time to repent.
I looked up, put on an innocent smile, looked at Chu Yuanxi and said, "What do you mean by 'see everything'? I didn't understand at all. I just wanted to find out what room your house was because something was blown here by the wind. That's why I stayed there for a while to avoid knocking on the wrong door."
However, even though I spoke so sincerely, that bastard Chu Yuanxi still didn't believe it, and even had an expression that said "Who are you kidding?"
"Everything I said is true. I swear to God, if what I said is false, please give me a thunderbolt to kill me immediately!" I raised my right hand and said it confidently. Of course, I was also praying in my heart: The oath I made is false, please don't strike me, don't strike me!
Chu Yuanxi sneered, crossed his arms, and said lazily: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Didn't I just hit you with the ball yesterday? You are so vindictive that you tried every means to find out where I live and then take revenge? Humph, your method is too clumsy!"
He reached out and took down the underwear hanging on the spider plant, waved it in front of me, and said with a smile: "Since you use the wind as an excuse, then you should choose a more decent prop! Don't you feel embarrassed to use this?"
call--
I wanted to calm down, calm down! But I couldn't calm down! His words instantly made me furious. What did he think of me? I came here by all means, definitely not to avenge his unintentional mistake yesterday, and is there such a fair way to avenge him?
"Give it back to me!" I reached out to grab my underwear angrily.
At this moment, I am like a wild dog snatching food from a wolf's mouth. Even if it is a piece of rotten meat, a piece of rotten and smelly meat, the wild dog will snatch it at all costs.
I danced until I was sweating profusely, and circled around on the narrow balcony with Chu Yuanxi, and finally -
I reached it, but Chu Yuanxi was pulling on one side and I was pulling on the other.
"Give it back to me, do you hear me?" I glared at him unwillingly and roared through gritted teeth.
"Why should I believe that this is yours?" Chu Yuanxi said in a provocative manner.
"What's mine is mine, take it!" I stretched out my hand to hit his hand, but Chu Yuanxi nimbly dodged to the side, and I quickly took advantage of the situation to pursue him.
"Give it back to me, give it back to me, turkey, dead turkey..." I closed my eyes unladylike and pulled with all my might, shouting, "I don't believe I can't pull it off better than you."
Sudden--
"Hiss--" With the sound of cloth being torn, my body suddenly stepped back, and then my arm hit something with a "bang", and my elbow felt numb.
I was blocked by something, which prevented me from moving backwards.
"Reckless guy——" Chu Yuanxi's voice came with a hint of surprise. I looked up and saw that he was terrified.
He held a piece of white cloth in his hand, and I also held a piece of white cloth in my hand...
Ahhhh!
Suddenly, a nameless fire rose from the soles of my feet to my forehead. My underwear, unexpectedly, unexpectedly was sacrificed like this!
"Chu Yuanxi!" I yelled at him with gritted teeth, my eyeballs almost popped out, I really wanted to twist his head off and let everyone kick it like a ball.
Maybe, this way the Chinese team can even make it to the 2014 World Cup!
Woo woo woo…
How could this happen? How could this happen? Why do unexpected things happen every time I travel back in time, and every time, Chu Yuanxi, the King of Destruction, is always there?
"Well, I didn't mean to do that!" Chu Yuanxi carefully stuffed the half pair of underwear into my hand, and then jumped to a safe place reflexively.
"I, I won't let you go!" I clenched my fists and glared at him hatefully.
Chu Yuanxi shrank his neck and said with a silly smile: "Actually, actually I know this is yours! I was just, just joking with you! I really didn't mean to tear it. How about this, I'll go buy it for you now..."
"Whose flowerpot is this? Who is so uncultured as to throw something down from the upstairs and hit my car?" A ferocious voice from downstairs interrupted Chu Yuanxi's words.
"Who is it? Come down quickly. I won't be so easy to deal with when I show up..." The voice still came up aggressively.
Flowers, flowerpots? The yelling uncle said the flowerpot hit his car?
Ahhh——
I quickly turned my head and saw a burly uncle standing downstairs. From where I was standing, I could just see the uncle's angry face.
The uncle was holding a handful of withered flowers in his hand and shaking them constantly.
Also, there is the convertible sports car next to the uncle, it seems, it seems to be yesterday afternoon...
Ah, stop. I turned my head sharply to look at Chu Yuanxi next to me and said in a trembling voice, "That, that..."
His expression was the same as mine. Before he could scream, I heard the uncle below yell again, "Those two people on the sixth floor, were those flower pots from your house falling down? Get down here quickly, or I'll be rude to you."
Sixth, six, sixth floor...
"Chu, Chu Yuanxi, which floor are we on?" I asked in a trembling voice.
"Jin, Jin Yixin, 602 is, which floor is it?" Chu Yuanxi slowly turned his head and asked in a low voice while looking at Jin Yixin who was standing silently aside.
Jin Yixin's face became even darker, as if, as if what we smashed was not the uncle's sports car, but, but his head!
"ah--"
I couldn't help but scream out loud. I finally understood why Jin Yixin's face was so dark. The reason why he looked like he wanted to strangle us to death was because the pot of flowers that fell and hit the car happened to be his favorite azalea!
It’s over, it’s over. I stood there with a sad face, waiting for the final judgment.
Another tragedy, my fourth time traveling through time ended in such a miserable way.
Forced by the sports car uncle's bullying, Chu Yuanxi and I went downstairs in disgrace, paid the compensation, and helped clean up the debris from the car.
The uncle had a gloomy face, holding the wilted azalea in his hand, and pointed at the car window glass in annoyance and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and wipe it! Here, here, and here, can't you see that it's all dirt?"
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and reluctantly moved over there. The uncle suddenly reached out, pulled me aside, and said sternly: "Do you know how much my car is worth? What if you scratch it and the paint falls off?"
I curled the corners of my mouth and cursed the uncle with great contempt in my heart. Looking at his bald head and the big belly that looked like he was ten months pregnant, I knew he must be a nouveau riche.
"What are you looking at? Get to work! If you don't clean my car today, you can't leave!" The uncle put his hands on his hips, like a violent slave owner in ancient times.
And I, the most beautiful girl in the universe, Huangfu Xiacao, was sweating profusely and resentfully helping the nouveau riche uncle clean his car on this hot day...
I don’t accept it, I don’t accept it!
I want to appeal, I want to appeal...
On a sunny afternoon, I was lying on the table, flipping through a book absentmindedly.
I can accept being hit again and again, but I cannot accept being hit by the same thing over and over again.
The original form of history is that I broke the azalea that Jin Yixin cherished as his life, and he hated me from then on, looked at me coldly, and didn't even look at me. So, I traveled back in time to change it. As a result, the first time I traveled back in time, I accidentally shook the flower off when I was shaking the sofa cushion; the second time I traveled back in time, I took off my shoes and hit Chu Yuanxi, and Chu Yuanxi dodged, and the flower was doomed; the third time I traveled back in time, the evil Chu Yuanxi insisted on quarreling with me, and the flower was accidentally sacrificed in our fight; the fourth time...
Alas, the endings were worse than the last . Now I tremble with fear whenever I see a bald uncle. I even have a psychological barrier to attend chemistry class. Because our chemistry teacher is a big bald man. Not only that, his body shape and momentum are very similar to that uncle. So now, whenever he opens his mouth, I tremble several times in a row. After a few classes, I was so scared that I didn't listen to anything.
Woohoo, how miserable!
It seems that I need to find an expert to help me with chemistry.
I looked left and right, and finally my target was locked on Chu Yuanxi, who was lowering his head and doing the questions seriously.
"hey-hey……"
I laughed dryly twice. If I didn't make use of such a good resource, I would be an idiot!
I slowly moved twice, then crossed the 38th parallel, raised my adorable little face, and smiled sweetly: "Chu Yuanxi, Mr. Chu, Brother Chu!"
Chu Yuanxi didn't even raise his head, the tip of the pen in his hand was still "brushing" to draw beautiful notes on the notebook.
Uh, you're trying to be cool. I raised my eyes and stretched my neck. Very good, Chu Yuanxi is indeed worthy of being the chemistry class representative. He can even write equations as fast as the teacher. Look at the speed at which he solves the problems. He has already solved two problems in the blink of an eye.
I pulled the corners of my mouth and continued to smile: "Hey, Mr. Chu, don't you like to do good deeds the most?"
"It's okay!" Chu Yuanxi still didn't raise his head.
What a simple answer. Forget it, I will just be thick-skinned and get to the point! As the saying goes, thick-skinned children get meat.
"Ahem!" I cleared my throat and looked at his poker face pitifully. "Well, can you please tutor me in chemistry?"
Chu Yuanxi slowly turned his head, looked me over, and said in a very annoying way, "You want me to tutor you?"
I nodded vigorously, but his expression was so strange! I didn't seem to have any problems with him these past two days! He only sent me an invitation card last Saturday, but I didn't accept it immediately.
Could it be that he wants to settle both old and new accounts together?
I searched my brain hard for information about how I had offended him, but found nothing.
"Well, I've been slow to respond to chemistry questions lately, and it seems that the content I've learned recently is too difficult, so I wanted to see if you're free..." I said as I looked at him, my heart pounding. These two days, we've been at peace, calm, without even a splash of water.
I really don't remember how I offended him.
Chu Yuanxi suddenly stood up, slapped the table, raised his hands, and shouted to the whole class: "Oh Yeah! Huangfu Xiacao finally bowed to me! Congratulations to me!"
ah--
Ahh——
Ahhh——
What, what is going on?
Why do I feel so confused?
I looked up at all the classmates who were immediately excited because of Chu Yuanxi's words, and shivered several times.
What on earth is Chu Yuanxi doing?
He then sat down again with a thump, looking at me with a smile on his face: "Okay! Every day after school, I'll go to your house and help you with your studies for an hour, how about that?"
I blinked. He, he doesn't have a fever, right? Why did he suddenly make a 180-degree turn?
Or maybe I've been traveling through time too often lately and am hallucinating?
I looked up at Chu Yuanxi again. What happened in the past few days?
Every time I travel through time, I calculate the time well. The time difference between going there and coming back is almost zero, so there shouldn't be anything happening that I don't know about!
"But I have a condition!" Chu Yuanxi looked at me with a big smile on his face, and then all the boys in the class suddenly started to make a noise: "Chu Yuanxi, Chu Yuanxi, Chu Yuanxi..."
Bewildered, I turned to look at Luo Xiaoman who was sitting behind me. I saw an envious expression on her face, and the other girls felt the same.
"What's going on?" I tugged at Luo Xiaoman's clothes, hoping she could tell me the answer.
But--
This girl was actually in a state of obsession, looking at me with stars in her eyes, and had no idea what I was talking about.
Forget it, I'd better just ask Chu Yuanxi directly what he is up to!
"What conditions?"
"This Thursday at 5pm, there will be a football match between our class and Class 2 (6) of Senior High School. I hope you can be the captain of our cheerleading team at that time. Is that ok?" Chu Yuanxi's expression was calm, but his eyes seemed a little proud.
What kind of condition is this?
Isn't she just a cheerleader?
Oh, wait!
Our class is the same as Senior 2 (6)? Senior 2 (6)?
Oh my god, isn't that the class that Jin Yixin is in? Although Jin Yixin and Chu Yuanxi are both members of the school football team, and they are teammates who cooperate perfectly in inter-school competitions, they become opponents in the blink of an eye in the competition between classes.
"Oh, Chu Yuanxi, forget it. How could a girl like Huangfu, who has no sense of collective honor, agree to be the cheerleader captain of our class football team?" A girl said sourly, and I looked up and glared at her fiercely.
"Okay, no problem!" I turned around and smiled at Chu Yuanxi. "I am Huangfu Xiacao, a student of Class 1, Grade 2, after all. How could I not cheer for our class?"
As soon as I finished speaking, everyone was excited again. A voice in my heart told me that there must be some conspiracy, otherwise how could the whole class be alarmed by this?
"Okay, it's a deal. I promise that with my tutoring, your chemistry grades will improve dramatically!" Chu Yuanxi had an expression as if his evil plan had succeeded.
But my heart could never calm down.
It's like I have a premonition that something big is about to happen.
It was a sunny Thursday afternoon, and the warm wind carried the scent of late spring.
Willow catkins swaying in the wind can be seen everywhere, as well as the strong scent of tung flowers, and the place is full of vitality...
I have to admit that Chu Yuanxi is a chemistry genius. Not only is he a chemistry genius, he is also a very generous boy. He doesn't take my pettiness to heart at all.
He tutored me very seriously every day, explaining things more thoroughly than the teacher in class, making it easier for me to understand. More importantly, he would catch me back in time when I was slacking off.
I have to sigh that someone who doesn't charge a penny for tutoring can be so dedicated. It's really admirable.
Since he has done such a good job, I cannot go back on my word. As a person, you should be honest!
I sat in the locker room holding a big black bag, waiting for the other girls to arrive. It was said that this was the uniform of our cheerleading team.
There are six girls in our cheerleading team. Before the game started, we choreographed a very special dance.
Like the kind you do at halftime of a basketball game.
However, what makes me more excited than all these is that I can see Jin Yixin running on the court again, oh yeah!
When Luo Xiaoman saw me, she pounced on me like a moth, snatched the black bag from my hand, and opened it without saying a word.
With a "crash", several small bags inside fell out.
Luo Xiaoman took the small bags, sorted them according to the names, and finally handed a red bag to me, saying with a smile: "This is yours, change it quickly!"
Hey, why is my bag the only one with a different color?
I had a bad feeling, but seeing that no one had any objection, I didn't say much and just took the bag in a daze.
"Hurry up! Everyone, change your clothes quickly. The competition will start in 10 minutes. We must beat the cheerleading team of Class 2 (6) of Senior High School!" Luo Xiaoman said as she pushed me into a curtain.
Everyone worked together and said, "Of course, our Class 2 (1) is the best! We must beat those girls in Class 2 (6) who are always cocky!"
Oh, how could I have forgotten this?
It's like the vicious circle of world football: no matter how a super team sweeps the entire football world, when they meet a certain team, they will always lose the game inexplicably, and that record can be maintained for many years.
This is the case with our class and their class. Even though our football team swept the entire school, it never beat their class, so the students in our class didn't seem to like the students in Class 2 (6) of Senior High School.
Although there are many campus basketball stars in their class, I have to say that I seem to be the only one who likes Jin Yixin, and the others are completely indifferent to them.
Alas, we are all from the same school, why do we have to be so incompatible?
I sighed and opened my red bag. When I saw the sexy team uniform inside, countless black lines suddenly appeared all over my forehead.
No way!
Do I really have to wear such revealing clothes? There is no precedent for such a thing in our school's cheerleading team!
Although I have a nice figure and smooth skin, I don't need to show up in front of everyone so brazenly! I am a cheerleader for the class football game, not the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant.
Uh, no, they are playing a trick on me!
Really, I had planned everything, and I had taken precautions, but I didn't even think of this. No wonder everyone was laughing so sinisterly before. It turns out...
But what about the other five girls? Aren’t they wearing the same clothes as me?
"Hey, Xia Cao, are you okay? The game is about to start." Luo Xiaoman's voice suddenly came.
I quickly changed my clothes and walked out quickly.
Suddenly, accompanied by strong lights and continuous "crackling" sounds, I couldn't help but cover my eyes with my hands.
"Wow, wow, Xia Cao, you have such a great figure!"
"Yes, Xia Cao, your skin is so white!"
"If you go out like this, you'll definitely charm all the boys!"
"Isn't it? With a figure like yours, if you were to participate in the Miss World Contest, you would definitely win first place in the swimsuit category!"
Everyone gathered around and started talking non-stop.
And those rays of light were still flashing, and a voice in my heart told me: "Huangfu Xiacao, you have been deceived, you have been deceived!"
I looked up and saw that everyone had a smile on their face and they were all wearing very conservative short-sleeved shirts and skirts. I was the only one wearing something so sexy.
"Luo Xiaoman, I hate you--" I screamed and rushed into the locker room without saying a word.
Then, they heard a burst of laughter coming from outside, and finally they shouted in unison: "Happy April Fool's Day, Huangfu Xiacao!"
What? What?
April Fools' Day?
Today is April 1st?
Why didn't anyone tell me? No wonder the whole class was so secretive that day.
I am so angry, so angry. Luo Xiaoman is such a disloyal person. She said that we are the best friends in the world and we would stick up for each other. But now she is framing me for an April Fool's Day game. This is clearly stabbing a friend in the back.
I gritted my teeth and cursed Luo Xiaoman in my heart. I thought she was my best friend, but she didn't even say hello to me in advance and joined everyone in playing tricks on me.
But it doesn’t seem right. Could it be that they had already discussed everything in advance?
But why am I the one being fooled?
I was so angry, I really was so angry. I pulled off my bikini. At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the door curtain, holding a bag of the same color as the others.
Luo Xiaoman's small voice also floated in: "Hey, are you angry?"
"Humph!" How could I not be angry? I was fooled by so many people! I grabbed my clothes and put them on.
"Hey, this is not like you. You won't get angry no matter how big the matter is. Besides, you have never been angry with a girl before."
"I'm not angry with other girls, I'm just angry with you, Luo Xiaoman." I grabbed the hand that kept waving in front of me and pulled her in.
Luo Xiaoman said with a playful smile: "Don't be angry, change your clothes! The game is about to start."
"No change!" I didn't give me any room for negotiation.
"Okay, Xia Cao, dear Xia Cao, dear beautiful Xia Cao, the most beautiful, smart and lovely girl in the world, Huangfu Xia Cao, please don't be angry, okay? We were just playing a little joke on you, don't be angry! Ah! Good Xia Cao, good Xia Cao!" Luo Xiaoman shook my arm vigorously.
I was not moved at all.
Humph, why didn’t you say something like this when you were teasing me together?
"Xia Cao, isn't it just a joke? Besides, can you bear to see our class lose to Class 2 (6) of Senior High School?" Luo Xiaoman rubbed me hard, opened the bag, took out the clothes inside and put them on me.
"Hey, Xia Cao, you should know that it took us several days to rehearse this opening dance!" Luo Xiaoman continued to lobby me.
Humph, it doesn’t matter to me how many days I have to wait in line. I say I won’t do it now and I won’t allow any negotiation!
"Huangfu Xiacao, you don't have any sense of collectivism at all!" Luo Xiaoman suddenly stuffed the clothes into my hands, turned around and walked out, saying loudly, "Huangfu Xiacao, if you really get angry with us because of such a small matter, you will no longer be our friend in the future!"
As soon as she finished her words , scattered footsteps were heard outside, and the footsteps were getting farther and farther away.
I looked at the clothes in my hands for one second, two seconds, three seconds...
I quickly took off my clothes, put on the set that Luo Xiaoman stuffed into my hands, and rushed out without any delay.
I, Huangfu Xiacao, am not such a petty person. I seriously just regarded this as an April Fool's joke. Besides, isn't it just a bikini appearance show?
What’s so great about that!
I ran all the way and finally caught up with them when they entered the venue.
"Xia Cao, we knew you would come, because you will always be our good Xia Cao." Junjun turned his head and looked at me with a smile.
Now you know that I am your good summer grass, what were you doing just now?
I admit that I am still a little stingy, and also a little unconvinced. So many guys who always say they are my good friends are actually playing tricks on me!
However, the game was really spectacular! I don’t know if it was because our two classes were both famous star classes in the school, or because there were two heavyweights on the field.
I took a quick glance and saw that there were even more people in the audience than at the regular meeting on Monday.
As the exciting opening music played, the six of us slowly entered the venue.
I stood at the front, led everyone to form a formation, and started dancing with great energy.
The host's excited and high-pitched voice came from the radio: "The game will start in two minutes. The cheerleaders of Class 2 (1) and Class 2 (6) have entered the field and are performing warm-up performances for their respective classes."
The constant shouting all around me made it difficult for me to hear the music clearly, but I just followed my feeling and danced according to the steps we had rehearsed.
Huh?
Just as I turned around and looked up, I suddenly saw a familiar figure opposite me.
I blinked. Isn't that Su Qianlan?
She was wearing a snow-white tutu and a shiny rhinestone hairpin, standing next to the podium. Oh my god, she was actually here to host the event.
And, and, God, Jin Yixin, Jin Yixin—my heart was pounding, my eyes were shining, and I wanted to run towards him immediately.
At this moment, Jin Yixin was leading the members of their class to enter from the left.
My eyes followed him, my heart was filled with joy, my eyes were full of hearts, and I sighed again and again. Jin Yixin is so handsome and charming! No matter how bright the sun is, it can't cover his eyes that make people fall in love with him unconsciously. And his gently pursed lips, his slender figure, and his healthy and smooth skin!
I swallowed hard!
"Xia Cao, why are you daydreaming? Dance faster!" Luo Xiaoman suddenly pulled my arm. My heart skipped a beat and I remembered why I was standing here. So I quickly started dancing to the music.
But, but, why do I feel like I’m dancing differently from everyone else?
Are you extending your left hand or your right hand?
It’s over, it’s over!
I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely. Now everyone's eyes were on me!
Oops! I looked up and saw my unique figure dancing all over the place on the big screen opposite.
"Huangfu Xiacao, are you crazy? Why are you jumping around?" Luo Xiaoman's angry voice came from behind me. I turned my head and saw her gritting her teeth.
Woo woo woo…
I didn't mean it. I was just so happy when I saw Jin Yixin appear on stage, and then after she yelled like that, I completely forgot how to dance next.
"Left - right - turn around - squat -"
Luo Xiaoman's voice came from behind me again and again, but I did a series of completely opposite actions. When everyone gathered together, I was the only one standing alone, ridiculously, and even made a heroic gesture.
What a shame! What a shame!
There were bursts of laughter coming from behind me, all mocking my unique and funny dance steps.
Woo woo woo…
Finally, the dance was over. Before I could stand still, Luo Xiaoman came up to me, looked me up, and said unhappily, "Hey, Huangfu Xiacao, what's wrong with you again?"
I lowered my head and looked at my toes, not knowing how to answer.
Alas, why am I always like this, unable to accomplish anything and always causing trouble?
"You don't have to jump now. Just stand aside and get towels and pass water to everyone." I don't know when the class teacher came over and stuffed a large stack of towels in his hand into my hands.
"Yes!" I raised my head slightly and glanced at the unhappy class teacher. It seemed that my performance today not only embarrassed Luo Xiaoman, but also embarrassed the class teacher and all the students in our class.
"Now, the competition officially begins, athletes are invited to enter!" Along with Su Qianlan's sweet voice, the competition officially began. I followed the class teacher holding a thick stack of towels.
If he goes left, I will never go right; if he goes right, I will never go left.
I was like a long tail, and the sunlight merged my figure with that of my class teacher.
"Hey, why do you always follow me?" The head teacher finally couldn't stand it anymore and looked back at me.
I raised my head and said weakly, "Didn't you ask me to hold the towel?"
"Go and sit over there. If the team members need it, just give it to them." The class teacher was obviously very angry. He glared and pointed to the side.
I didn't dare to delay at all, and I quickly sat on the bench with my towel in my arms.
Hehe, it feels so good to sit down. Even though I am a logistics worker now, it is much better than jumping around. Speaking of which, I was a little thirsty after jumping for a long time. I picked up a bottle of water and started to drink it, and suddenly——
"Xia Cao, please bring me a bottle of water!"
"Xia Cao, I want a towel, thank you..."
"Xia Cao-san, please give me a massage!"
…
"Cough, cough, cough..." All the water in his throat was choked out.
Well, it turns out that logistics is not that easy. I was ordered around by those students on the bench, and I really wanted to collapse to the ground with my legs weak and eyes black, and let others serve me.
"Xia Cao, hurry up and bring some ice cubes, towels and spray." The class teacher suddenly shouted. I looked up and saw a team member being carried down on a stretcher.
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and quickly ran over with the things my teacher asked for.
As soon as I saw the person lying on the ground, I immediately felt happy about his misfortune and laughed without caring about the occasion: "Haha, Chu Yuanxi, Master Chu, aren't you the best striker? What happened today? You got injured as soon as you came on the court and were replaced so quickly!"
Silence, silence—
The air around me suddenly froze. I slowly looked around and saw pairs of eyes looking at me as if I were a monster, especially the bull's eyes of my homeroom teacher, which seemed to want to burn two holes in me.
I quickly lowered my head and prepared to leave in shame!
"Reckless guy!" Chu Yuanxi's weak voice suddenly came.
I shuddered, an ominous premonition quickly spread in my mind, turned my head, and asked with a silly smile: "What's the matter?"
"Please help me sit on the bench!" Chu Yuanxi put his hand on my shoulder, it was so heavy!
I gritted my teeth and took Chu Yuanxi to the bench step by step. He waved an ice pack in front of me and said bluntly, "Please press it for me!"
"A little to the left, a little more up, to the right, down, a little harder, a little more down..."
"Bang—" I threw the bag in front of him and said angrily, "Are you done yet?"
Chu Yuanxi looked up, bewildered: "Aren't you here to serve us today?"
"I, I—"
"Huangfu Xiacao, you should be nicer. Chu Yuanxi was injured while fighting for the honor of our class." The sharp voice of the class teacher came from the side.
I nodded quickly, picked up the bag on the ground, and moved it up and down on his neck exactly as Chu Yuanxi instructed.
Humph, I will freeze you to death. I will freeze you so hard that your neck will become crooked.
I was thinking maliciously, and suddenly, there was chaos on the court . According to my experience, the ball had already entered the penalty area at this moment.
My heart was instantly gripped, and a small flame grew rapidly in my heart.
Come on, come on!
There were loud cheers all around, and the ice pack in my hand was pressed motionlessly against Chu Yuanxi's neck.
"Come on, come on!" I shouted along with everyone else.
"Oh no, so stupid! Pass, pass, pass back! No way, why am I so stupid? Goalkeeper, goalkeeper! Oh, just a little bit short! Wow! Wow, it's a handball! Oh, no, no, it seems to be offside." I shouted excitedly.
However, something seems wrong!
A fiery gaze was shooting towards me. I lowered my head and saw Chu Yuanxi glaring at me fiercely. At this moment, I——
The ice bag in my hand was hitting his forehead again and again, rhythmically accompanied by my shouts.
ah--
I quickly threw the bag in my hand back and said with a silly smile: "Yes, I'm sorry..."
"Hey, don't you have eyes? Why are you throwing things around?" Before I finished speaking, an unhappy voice sounded behind me. I turned around and saw a ferocious boy holding something in his hand and smashing it towards my head.
"Ahhh——" I couldn't help but scream and covered my head with my hands.
At this moment, suddenly——
I just felt someone push my shoulder hard, and then due to the pull of the earth's gravity, with a "bang", I made close contact with the ground.
"Wow - so handsome, Master Chu is so handsome!"
"Yes, yes, Master Chu's movements are truly flawless!"
Suddenly, there were screams and admirations from girls above my head.
I opened my eyes and couldn't help shivering.
At this moment, Chu Yuanxi's face was only 0.1 centimeters away from mine, and he was lying on top of me.
"Ah——" I screamed and pushed Chu Yuanxi away.
What the hell! Are you molesting me in public?
I got so angry that I kicked him on the leg a few times.
Chu Yuanxi struggled in pain, and then someone ran over and pulled him up from the ground.
"Chu Yuanxi, are you okay?"
"Huangfu Xiacao, Hero Chu was kind enough to save you, but you are repaying kindness with hatred?"
"Huangfu Xiacao is indeed a heartless person!"
"Hero Chu is so pitiful! His foot was injured on the field just now, and now he was kicked hard by the bad guy Huangfu Xiacao. It must be very painful!"
"Oh, my hero Chu, please be alright! We'll see you running around the court in the second half!"
I heard girls screaming all around me, some people started crying for no apparent reason, and a lot of things were thrown at me from the stands.
Uh, could it be, could it really be my fault?
Looking down, I saw the ice bag under my feet, and the ice inside had almost melted.
Seeing the school doctor and classmates surrounding Chu Yuanxi, I was not indifferent. It's just that, just like just now, the gap between his mouth and my face was really too, too...
Moreover, I can feel his breath spraying on my face, oooh...
But, it seems, it seems that I can't blame him for this! I put the things that happened before and after together. He, he must have seen the ice bag thrown at me, and he threw himself on me to save me...
Woo…
Huangfu Xiacao, what on earth is your brain made of? How could you actually harm your benefactor?
