DIARY Three's constant desire to be noticed 2
Fortunately, the class started soon. After the class was assembled, the physical education teacher announced in front of the class: "Please be quiet! In order to exercise everyone's unity, I am going to have a 4×100m mixed relay race for men and women. Students who are willing to participate, please raise your hands..."
Oh my god, why are you running a relay race in such hot weather? I felt a little speechless, my hands hanging limply at my sides without any intention of moving. At this moment, an unpleasant voice slowly entered my ears:
"You are not good at math, which means you are not good at intelligence. Now you are not even good at physical strength, are you?"
"Yuan Cheye, you are a born fool. Who says I can't do it? My intelligence is OK, and my physical strength is even better!"
Looking at his completely unbelieving eyes, the corners of my mouth twitched with anger.
Humph, Yuan Cheye, just wait and see, I will use all my skills to let you experience my power! !
"Qi Weiwei... Qin Yi... four people in a group, Li Wu... Yuan Cheye... one person is missing? Who is willing to take over from Yuan Cheye?" When I was proudly clenching my fist and swearing, the teacher started to divide the people into groups.
"I!"
I impulsively raised my hands above my head.
Everyone turned around and looked at me.
"Weiwei, did your neighbor take the wrong medicine today?"
"I think she was probably trying to get Yuan Cheye's attention. Didn't you see that she kept talking to Cheye during math class today? In the end, she even asked Cheye to help her answer the questions. Damn it!"
"It's terrible. If we are in the same group with her, we will definitely lose."
…
All kinds of murmurs from my classmates reached my ears, but I still signed my name in the teacher's registration book like a sacrifice.
I didn't take their words to heart. This was a battle involving my intelligence and physical strength, and it was closely related to my honor.
Only success is allowed, failure is not allowed!
Come on, Yeshiya!
The relay race has begun...
Yuan Cheye ran the third leg and I ran the last leg. When I took the baton from Yuan Cheye and looked at him, his clean face was filled with a bright smile. For a moment, it was as if large clouds around me squeezed into my eyes, and I felt a lot lighter.
I held the stick and ran forward with all my might, with only one goal in my eyes, which was the red finish line in front of me.
The wind blew my hair, the surrounding scenery was rapidly receding, a corner of my shirt flew in the wind, and I was full of confidence in myself.
Yuan Cheye, just watch.
I will definitely win! I will definitely take first place to show you!
Whoosh…
The goal was getting closer and closer to me. Along the way, I overtook many people, even surpassed Weiwei, and gradually ran to the front.
Victory is in sight. I can even imagine that I will be able to proudly raise my chin towards Yuan Cheye and say with contempt: Have you seen my strength? Haha.
Then the whole class looked at me with surprise and disbelief.
Oh haha, it feels wonderful just thinking about it!
Only a few meters away from the red finish line, I raised a victorious smile and felt every drop of sweat on my forehead flowing so freely.
But--
I don't know what my foot suddenly stepped on, my body tilted to the side, and my left foot sprained.
"ah!!!"
I fell to the ground in pain, and at this moment of pause, Weiwei, who was originally behind, quickly surpassed me.
She glanced at me as she passed by, with a look of cold sarcasm in her eyes.
I supported myself on the ground with my arms and struggled to stand up, but the slightest force on my ankle made me grimaced in pain.
it hurts!
With sweat dripping down my forehead, I tried to stand up, enduring the pain in my feet. In the short time I was struggling, several other classmates ran ahead of me.
Now even if I make it to the finish line, I’m destined to be the last, but I still don’t intend to give up.
I took a small step forward cautiously, and the piercing pain immediately spread throughout my body. My auditory nerves became extremely sensitive, and it felt like a hammer was hitting my eardrum again and again.
"Come on, Weiwei! Come on, Weiwei!"
"Come on, Yi family! Come on, Yi family!"
"Oh yeah oh yeah..."
…
So many people shouted their names to encourage them, but no one shouted my name.
Maybe as long as there is one person, one voice shouting “Come on, Xia”, I will keep on rushing to the finish line, even if it hurts like hell.
But no...
All I saw was all the students cheering, hugging each other and congratulating each other.
It seemed like the race was over, and I was left limping along the track alone, with no one paying attention to me and everyone forgetting me…
The pain in my feet was replaced by an inexplicable soreness in my throat, and a dark tide slowly swept towards me, as if to swallow me up.
I slowly closed my eyes, forcing the hot liquid in my eyes to flow back into my body.
"Come on, idiot!"
In the confusion and despair, a voice as clear as a stream came from a few steps away from me.
Who is cheering for me?
I opened my eyes hard, looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that face that was so clean that it could easily make people's hearts beat faster.
At this moment, there was an expression of worry and anxiety on that face. Was I hallucinating?
No, it's not my imagination.
It was real. Yuan Cheye was standing next to me so realistically. He smiled and said casually:
"Stupid, do you want to stand there and sleepwalk to the finish line?"
A surge of strength suddenly surged in my heart. I endured the pain and walked towards the finish line step by step.
Seeing Yuan Cheye’s shadow always in front of me, my heart unconsciously warmed up.
I finally reached the end, and the moment I laughed, my body lost all the strength. At this moment, a pair of slender and strong hands caught me.
It's Yuan Cheye.
"Hey, idiot!"
"Well, I'm very stupid. You...can laugh at me if you want." I tried my best to hold back my tears and not let him notice the complicated emotions in my heart.
"No!"
"You're saying that my intelligence is No. 1, and my physical strength is also No. 1? Then the purpose of your ridicule has been achieved."
"No, what I mean is that everyone has their own strengths, so you shouldn't take it too seriously." As he said this, Yuan Cheye's eyes reflected the bright sunshine, and his face had a serious expression that I had never seen before.
"I'll take you to the infirmary." He said, and picked me up. I wanted to struggle, but I didn't know whether it was because of his words or because I had no strength left, I gave up and lay quietly in his arms.
My head was pressed against Yuan Cheye's heart. As I heard his steady heartbeat in his chest, I gradually relaxed.
His arms made me feel as if I was surrounded by the pure blue sky without any impurities, warm and safe, as if it could accommodate all my sorrows.
"Everyone has strengths... then what about mine? " I put away the competitive and stubborn streak that I had when participating in the competition, hoping to get even a little bit of affirmation from him.
"your?"
"Can't you say it? Haha...it doesn't matter." I suppressed my disappointment and lowered my head.
"You have."
"Um?"
"When you stand up and run after falling down..."
"Is it ugly?" My heart, which had just risen with a glimmer of hope, sank again.
"No, like a wounded mermaid."
…
On the playground, the dust was chasing the sun, spinning and dancing, and then quietly falling down. The small but graceful posture was like the most proud mermaid dance...
In the infirmary, Yuan Cheye put me on a chair and left.
Is he gone just like that? I wondered glumly.
After waiting for the school doctor to bandage my ankle, I limped to the door eagerly. The door was empty, and my expectation suddenly dropped.
He really left alone.
When I turned around to go home, I caught a glimpse of someone sitting on the windowsill in the corridor.
The golden hair was painted a brilliant red in the afterglow of the setting sun, the lines of the side face were clean and firm, the collar of the white shirt was open, with an uninhibited casualness. Two slender legs, one was bent on the window, and the other was casually hanging down along the window sill.
He looked out the window quietly. The wind blew the curtains gently. There was some intoxicating scent in the air, but I felt like he was so far away from me.
Yuan Cheye...
I stood quietly at the door without moving, following his gaze to look at the sky outside.
Outside the window, the crimson sky was like a drunk giant's face, bright and colorful. The colorful clouds drifted towards the west, reflecting the whole earth as if it was covered with a hazy and beautiful coat.
From time to time, a late-returning bird flaps its wings and draws lonely curves in the clouds.
Yuan Cheye's figure seemed to be frozen in this scenery, and he did not move for a very long time.
A faint loneliness emanated from him, gradually spreading and filling my eyes. An inexplicable emotion quietly penetrated into my pulse, and flowed into my heart bit by bit, and my heart was suddenly grasped by an invisible big hand.
Yuan Cheye, what is he thinking about at this moment?
Why does he look so lonely and sad?
The unprecedented expression on his face gripped my heart tightly and made my breathing gradually unstable. He looked like this, which made me feel a little distressed and I really wanted to get close to him and understand him.
Just when I didn't know whether to alarm him or say something, Yuan Cheye suddenly turned around and saw me. As if I was caught peeking at his secret, I spoke first with a guilty conscience:
"This is the third floor. Are you sitting there to look cool?"
His usual sunny smile appeared on his face again: "Stupid, I'm waiting for you to come home."
"Come on, idiot!"
"Stupid, I'm waiting for you to come home."
…
Such warm words kept echoing in my mind, and I couldn't help but smile at him.
"I just got your schoolbag."
Yuan Cheye jumped down from the windowsill, picked up my and his schoolbags on the ground, and walked past me.
I limped behind him, but my eyes were involuntarily attracted by his slender back.
Just like an unpredictable wind easily stirred my heart, I smelled the rose-like fragrance in the air. The fragrance was so strong, so strong that it hurt my heart. Recalling his back sitting on the windowsill just now, I felt the loneliness and desolation hidden in him again.
At this moment, I remembered the time when he carried me to the infirmary. His gentle face was filled with a breathtaking brilliance, and his soft lips like rose petals slowly opened: "Like a wounded mermaid..."
My heart moved inexplicably: "Hey!"
Hearing my shout, Yuan Cheye in front of me turned around and looked at me in confusion: "What are you doing?"
"Didn't we agree to go home together? Why are you walking so fast?" I tried to put on a natural smile.
He glanced at me and smiled, his smile was clean and bright: "Then hurry up and catch up."
"Please, my feet still hurt. Can't you wait a little longer if you're a boy?"
"But I'm already walking very slowly. Your legs are too short."
Bang! His words hit me in the head again, and I was defeated for the Nth time!
I really shouldn't have too many expectations of this person. My face was filled with black lines, and it felt like a fire was burning in my heart, and it was about to burn away the remaining rationality in an instant.
It must have been my illusion just now, it must be! You can't have the slightest affection for such a person, not even a little bit!
"School suddenly becomes much more interesting." He suddenly turned around and said this to me out of the blue.
"Why?"
"Because some interesting people showed up."
Sweat! Funny guy... are you referring to me?
"Then come to school tomorrow as well." He clapped his hands and made the decision.
After the N+1th defeat, I chose to remain speechless.
