Chapter 64 Acting School
"?" Kong Xuan looked at Lin Yang's registration and felt very upset. It was only 5,000 meters, but he actually lost to Lin Yang? ?
Lin Yang hid behind his head teacher when he was being stared at. Xiaozai can't be relied on now and he can only rely on Teacher Ji!
Tan Xiao pulled Kong Xuan and said, "Take a look at other events. Do you want to sign up for the relay with me?"
Kong Xuan's attention was immediately diverted. What kind of project was this? Could they participate together?
However, the most difficult 5,000 meters has already been decided by Lin Yang. People are actually quite enthusiastic about many other events, such as the sprint, high jump, and long jump, which have attracted many people to sign up.
After counting the intentions, I found that there were too many people signing up for some events, so I had to select them within the class during the physical education class. For the relay race, I could just select the top few in the 100-meter race.
Tan Xiao was persuaded to choose the 3,000m and relay races. The chances of winning the 3,000m should be quite high, but the relay race is not so sure, so he will have to run for the 100m as well. Kong Xuan also chose the relay race, which was equivalent to running for the 100m at the same time.
Kong Xuan actually had no idea about the differences between these projects. Tan Xiao asked him to choose, so he did.
"Everyone is very enthusiastic. Let's select them in the physical education class on Friday and practice them in the next few days." Ji Huiming was very pleased to see Kong Xuan's enthusiastic participation. Although he had messed up just now, Ji Huiming was willing to guess that he might have confused long-distance running and short-distance running.
Ever since Kong Xuan became deskmate with Tan Xiao and rented his house, he has been integrating better and better with the class.
"Master, if you really want to participate, you should practice well before the selection." Tan Xiao had just talked to Lin Yang. He said that he planned to run to and from school every day, including practicing at noon. The 3,000-meter task was not easy.
"I practice?" Kong Xuan thought this was ridiculous. "Does practicing make me run slower? Do you think I don't have enough control?"
He also knew that he might have been careless and exaggerated, but he didn't need to practice to control his speed. He could run any speed he wanted, and it would be accurate to the second. For example, in the physical education exam last semester, he followed Tan Xiao throughout the 50-meter and 1,000-meter races and passed them easily.
Tan Xiao was also thinking in his heart, during the physical fitness test last semester, Kong Xuan ran next to him, and no one noticed his interruptions, but the school sports meet was different.
Tan Xiao looked at him and said, "I mean, practice your acting skills."
Kong Xuan: “?”
Tan Xiao: "What if you finish the race without getting red in the face or out of breath like you did last semester? What if you even look down on other runners while running?"
Kong Xuan: “…”
...He was unable to refute for a moment.
There was no other scientific reason why Tan Xiao asked Kong Xuan to choose the 100-meter race. It was just because of this that, since Kong Xuan had to show up, it would be best if the time was as short as possible, so that the chance of being exposed would be lower.
Kong Xuan hummed and said, "Just act..."
Not only that, Tan Xiao also specially collected data from previous years and referred to world records, reminding Kong Xuan not to get carried away and break a world record.
"Why not?" Kong Xuan was still stubborn. He didn't know how people reacted to his previous appearances. Could breaking the world record scare people?
"You broke a world record and were taken away by the national team on the spot." Tan Xiao threatened, "You want to go to Beijing to be a sports student? It's all about family fairies over there, there's no market for peacocks, and you're competing with vixens for jobs."
Kong Xuan: “…I don’t want to.”
If you don't want to, just restrain the peacock's ostentatious nature.
Under the guidance of Tan Xiao, the temporary acting coach, Kong Xuan started practicing with him on the way home from school that day.
"You also have to learn the running posture, the scientific running posture. Also, I practiced 3,000 meters, but you can also observe how normal people run, and then you can watch other people practice on the school playground and learn comprehensively." Tan Xiao said to Kong Xuan while warming up.
Kong Xuan naturally didn't need to warm up, and even wanted to help Tan Xiao carry his schoolbag, "Oh."
Tan Xiao noted the time and started running, trying his best to keep his breathing even. He could feel his body getting hot and his heart rate rising.
Kong Xuan followed effortlessly carrying two schoolbags. It was Tan Xiao's request, Tan Xiao insisted that he do it, and he obeyed Tan Xiao's rules, so he stared at Tan Xiao the whole time.
Kong Xuan had keen senses. Amid the hustle and bustle of the city, he could easily distinguish what he wanted to hear. That was Tan Xiao's heartbeat speeding up. As his thin chest rose and fell, the increase in the frequency of the beats was within Kong Xuan's grasp.
This is not difficult at all.
What's so difficult about acting? It's just a matter of controlling speed and then controlling other organs to create an illusion.
Next, blood circulation accelerated, capillaries expanded, and a blush slowly rose on Tan Xiao's face, and even the tips of his ears and neck also turned red from the white jade. Even redder was the color of his tender lips, which made the boy look even more energetic.
Then, the soft black hair was slightly wet with sweat, and a few strands of hair stuck to the cheeks, making the black darker and the white whiter, shining in the sun.
"Huh." Tan Xiao concentrated on running until his cell phone reminded him. He tried his best not to breathe through his mouth, but he still couldn't help opening his mouth and wiping the sweat off his dry mouth.
Turning around, Kong Xuan's cheeks were red.
"You have controlled your blushing very well. It would be even better if it were a little bit lighter." Tan Xiao praised.
"..." Kong Xuan came back to his senses, touched his face, and saw in the mirror of the roadside store that his face had become redder than Tan Xiao's. From the perspective of passers-by, they really looked like two students who were running until their faces were red and they were out of breath.
"I don't sweat much, which is normal. After all, it's a short run and the weather is good, so I don't sweat that quickly." Tan Xiao reached out and touched the back of Kong Xuan's neck. He felt that Kong Xuan's observation ability was still quite good. "But if you practice for a long time in school, you should pay attention to sweating."
When Kong Xuan was touched on the neck, he shrank back and jumped away.
"What is this?" Tan Xiao was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Why does pinching the back of the neck cause a reaction? Isn't the back of the neck only for mammals?"
Kong Xuan said angrily, "Aren't we just performing mammals now?"
"That makes sense." Tan Xiao nodded seriously, then he pursed his lips to imitate a bird's beak, and moved his round lips a few times, "Then do you think my performance is similar?"
Kong Xuan directly put his school uniform jacket around him and held him tightly: "That's great! My mom gave me a pearl bird."
Tan Xiao laughed under his school uniform, "When did you go to take extra Chinese lessons in elementary school?"
Kong Xuan hummed and said, "After "Xi Men Bao Governs Ye"."
…
"I don't know how Yorkshire is doing." Tan Xiao said with his face in his hands after finishing his homework.
Kong Xuan said sharply: "You suddenly care a lot."
In the past, when they were working on a case, Tan Xiao would find time to do his homework or think about going back to class. But now, after Tan Xiao finishes his homework, he thinks about Yorkshire.
Tan Xiao held up a stack of information in his hand. This was his printed notes for the sequel to the Classic of Mountains and Seas. With the cooperation of the 404 Office, he compiled the entries really quickly. "Of course, is that just Yorkshire? This is the extra score for the college entrance examination that I have never seen since I was away from home!"
According to the contract between Tan Xiao and 404, only major cases can be considered a major contribution, with a lot of extra points. How could Tan Xiao not be obsessed with this case after class?
He simply picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Mu Fei: [Sister Mu, did you catch the dog? Remember to ask me for help if you need it.]
Mu Fei directly popped up a video, and after Tan Xiao clicked it, he saw a mountain forest on the other side.
"Crossing mountains and ridges, we are going to fight to the death with Qiyunling." Mu Fei said breathlessly. Qiyunling is the entire mountain range, so the scope is naturally very large. "I just found it. The place that the sugar essences said, my goodness, I have been wrong several times."
She turned around and said, "This is it. This is a dragon's lair."
As mentioned before, Qiyunling is also part of the Nanling Mountains, and is also one of the Nanlong branches of Kunlun Mountain. The place where the mountain's qi gathers is the dragon's cave, which is what the ancients called a Feng Shui treasure land. When looking for dragons and points, this is the place.
"It's definitely not a coincidence. What is it digging here to eat?" Tan Xiao thought about it and found a point worth paying attention to. "It should know that people are trying to catch it everywhere. Nanchu is the top priority. What is there here that is worth it committing a crime against the wind?"
The IQ of these Huo Dou should be quite good. Together with the sniper, we can tell .
"Could it be that there is a monster in Qiyun Ridge that can attract Huodou?" Mu Fei reacted quickly, her heart beating faster, and said quickly, "It shouldn't have succeeded yet. Pan Daogong asked the nearby magicians, and they seemed to have seen a Huodou, but nothing unusual happened. And we looked around and there were no signs of fighting, it doesn't look like there has been any fighting."
With Nan Chu's current level of vigilance, he really didn't notice any other monsters being killed. After all, monsters are all strange and weird, but they all don't want to be eaten, and will take the initiative to report the situation to 404.
In other words, Yorkshire’s current target seems to only exist in Qiyunling, although we don’t know what that is yet.
"Then I'm afraid we have to keep a close eye on Qiyunling. We don't know what it's looking for." Tan Xiao said, "Sister Mu, you have to be careful. Bring more people with you."
"I've brought them." Mu Fei turned the camera, and Tan Xiao realized that it was very lively over there. In addition to Barry, Mr. Xu and the others, Fang Zhu was naturally there too. There was also Jiao Guangquan, the apprentice that Mu Fei was currently training, Tang Jing was there too, and even Xiong Gui.
In fact, it's not just them. Now the entire Nanchu is advocating traveling in groups to prevent fights. It's no exaggeration to say that the monsters are in danger.
The male viper had been waiting eagerly. It knew the rules and would not interrupt unless it was its turn to speak. It stood up and said, "The work of the archaeological team has come to an end. Fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission. Now that we have some free time, we volunteer to work hard to help Lingzi get extra points for the college entrance examination!"
Wow……
Tan Xiao was a little moved after hearing this. Apart from anything else, he still admired Xiong Gui's perseverance.
Seeing that Lingzi's expression seemed to be wavering, Xionggui was overjoyed.
"But the exam is nothing. Lingzi, don't be discouraged if you didn't get the first place. Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers born with different races?" Xiong Gui also knew how to make preparations, indicating that no matter what the situation, he would support Tan Xiao in restoring the glory of Chu Wu, and it seemed that he had already learned the lesson that Liu Qingquan had said.
Tan Xiao sobered up and realized that Xionggui was determined, but he was still too feudal.
But before they could continue, a red object flew out from the side, bounced hard, and stuck to Mu Fei's phone screen, blurring the entire screen. Then it made a shameless sound: "Boom boom boom boom! It's the spiritual master!"
Kong Xuan was so shocked that he opened Tan Xiao's phone. What a dirty thing.
Tan Xiao only saw that the camera was covered and the screen turned red...
It's saccharin.
After a while, Mu Fei grabbed one of the legs of the saccharine and tore it off the phone. Then it swung elastically in the air. The other saccharines also jumped on the spot, pouting like it and saying hello: "Bobobo."
There was still icing on the screen, and Mu Fei wiped it off speechlessly, "Haven't I taught you a lesson before? Be a little more disciplined."
The male viper was furious at how dare they interrupt their spellcasting. "Yes, this is disrespectful!"
Mu Fei squinted and said, "What do you mean, right? Is that what I meant?"
Xionggui ignored him and continued to accuse him, "I've already said that if you respect Lingzi and want to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, you must first practice your formation. If you have no rules like this..."
Sugarcane didn't buy it at all. There was a generation gap of several thousand years between them. They thought the male viper was sick: "Lililililililil."
The male viper hissed angrily, "Do you know that you are committing the crime of being loyal to the king--"
Sugarcane responded: "The police station will arrest you right there."
Tan Xiao: "..."
I'm going to do some mess.
"I feel relieved that Sister Mu has enough people. I will personally sponsor Xionggui to read another political textbook. If you have any new information, let me know. Bye!"
…
After practice, it was Friday, and everyone was divided into groups for selection in physical education class.
Lin Yang had already been chosen to run the 5000m, so he didn't have to participate in the selection. He just practiced on the side and started running during the break, with his classmates helping him count down.
"Seventeen minutes and fifty-eight seconds!" a classmate shouted, Lin Yang is still steady.
Then someone supported Lin Yang and asked him to walk slowly.
Lin Yang walked for a while, waved his hand, and sat down. Several classmates came over, some wiped their sweat, some handed them water, and were very caring. They almost hugged Lin Yang in their arms, patted his head, and loudly praised him for being awesome.
Kong Xuan took a look and asked, "Why are you so weak?" What's so great about this?
Lin Yang: “…”
He raised his head in anger, "This is normal!!"
As he spoke, he almost got a stitch in the side and fell to the ground coughing.
Kong Xuan nodded, "Okay."
Lin Yang spread his face out sadly: Okay, what? Okay.
At this time, the physical education teacher had finished the long jump competition with the students and blew the whistle: "Students who have signed up for the 100-meter and relay races, get ready to start, first batch. Start from the first lane here, the rest of you."
Kong Xuan also stood on one of the tracks and assumed a starting position for temporary training. He saw Tan Xiao and the physical education teacher standing at the finish line. Because there were so many people, they ran in batches, and Tan Xiao and he were not in the same group.
Tan Xiao did not cheer loudly for his good friend like other students. It was not that he did not cheer at all, but his voice was not much higher than speaking, "Come on, Kong Xuan."
Yu Zhenzhen was cheering for her classmates. When she heard the noise, she turned around and said, "I'm going to criticize you for this. Tan Xiao, didn't you have lunch?"
"He can hear it." Tan Xiao smiled.
"Stop bragging. You might as well say that you two are in sync with each other." Yu Zhenzhen was still thinking that he was saving energy for the 3,000-meter run later.
There were many other classes watching around the track, and they were particularly curious about how Kong Xuan would perform. For those who had participated in the school sports meet in the first year of high school, they knew each other's strengths and who was the strongest. For example, Lin Yang pushed the whole class to 5,000 meters at the beginning.
But what about Kong Xuan? Firstly, he is eye-catching. Secondly, he is a transfer student who just came in the second year of high school. Students from other classes don’t know whether he is a dark horse or not.
When the physical education teacher blew the whistle, all the participating students ran as fast as they could.
Kong Xuan's figure was like an arrow shot from a bow. He stood out from the beginning and took the lead easily. However, after several days of training, this speed was within the normal human range and he would not be caught.
Screams suddenly rang out from the side of the playground. It turned out that Kong Xuan was so awesome because he ran really fast! When he ran past in front of us, it was like a gust of wind blowing past, and he was obviously far ahead of the others!
Even the physical education teacher couldn't help but nod his head. With this speed, he was definitely good enough to join the school team. How come he didn't remember Kong Xuan's outstanding performance in physical education class last semester?
It was only a hundred meters, and it was over in a flash. In just a dozen seconds, we reached the finish line.
Kong Xuan followed the rehearsal routine, only blushing and panting slightly. He slowed down his pace amid the cheers and applause of his classmates, took two vigorous steps, then suddenly took a few deep breaths and collapsed on the ground in exhaustion.
Everyone: “???”
What is this? Classmate Kong Xuan suddenly got seriously ill? !
Kong Xuan was still unaware of it, and just looked at Tan Xiao intentionally or unintentionally.
Tan Xiao: “…………”
...No, I asked you to learn sprint reaction, why are you learning something else?
Tan Xiao rushed over before the physical education teacher called the school doctor. He almost slid over, squatted down, hugged Kong Xuan's legs and shouted, "Are you cramping?"
Kong Xuan hesitated for a moment, "Yeah!"
"Come, come, stretch." Tan Xiao held Kong Xuan's legs and led him to stretch.
The physical education teacher scratched his head. It didn't look like cramps, but it seemed more reasonable than a sudden illness. Kong Xuan also nodded, "Someone apply some compress to him... Kong Xuan, are you calcium deficient?"
Kong Xuan leaned his head on Tan Xiao's shoulder, feeling that the treatment , so he nodded casually and with relief.
"..."Tan Xiao pinched him hard.
Kong Xuan looked at Lin Yang hatefully, Tan Xiao actually pinched him.
Lin Yang: “???”
Did you get glared at just now? Why?
Kong Xuan understood Tan Xiao's intention of pinching him again, and said sullenly: "...I'm not calcium deficient. It wasn't like this before."
“Then everyone please take good care of Kong Xuan, he is our seeded player!” The physical education teacher felt that as long as Kong Xuan didn’t encounter such emergencies frequently, it would be easy for him to get a ranking.
They said everyone would take good care of him, but no one dared to get close except Tan Xiao. They just handed him a bottle of water, which Tan Xiao took.
"Okay." Tan Xiao whispered in Kong Xuan's ear, "Who did you learn from? Lin Yang? Didn't I tell you that your previous performance was enough?"
"Aren't a hundred meters and five thousand meters almost the same? Lin Yang said this is normal." Kong Xuan began to confuse right and wrong. Even when he looked around and found that other students who had finished running the hundred meters were already strolling normally, he remained calm and collected.
Tan Xiao turned on the water and sighed.
Kong Xuan turned his head: "I won't be paralyzed next time..."
"You don't have to be paralyzed now." Tan Xiao urged him.
Kong Xuan stared at Tan Xiao. Even if he was acting, Tan Xiao was too cold since he was acting.
Tan Xiao said: "I'm going to run away soon, I probably won't collapse on the ground, but I also hope someone can bring me some water."
Kong Xuan immediately got up and said, "I will answer your prayer!"
