Chapter 26 You, the substitute!What? because I? Jiang Yuan was completely confused. If you said that you wanted the players of the football team to focus on the game for the honor of the school, Jiang Yuan could understand. But you said that giving the football team a holiday was for Jiang Yuan. Isn't this just flattering Jiang Yuan for no reason? "Um...Principal, I don't quite understand what you mean." Jiang Yuan's expression was a little awkward. This was the second time that what happened today was beyond his expectations. The first time was when I was running with the ball during training and met the principal of Qingshan Middle School, who was rarely seen in a century. The second time was what the principal Wang Hongming said. "Boy, your name is Jiang Yuan, am I right?" There was a hint of smugness in Wang Hongming's expression. People who didn't know him might think he was joking with Jiang Yuan. "Yes, that's right, Principal, you are so powerful and know everything!" Jiang Yuan just kept flattering Wang Hongming, praising him to the sky. Seeing Jiang Yuan's answer, Wang Hongming smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, you were the one playing football on the field at around 4am these few days, right? The light was too weak in the early morning, and I took great pains to find the list of the football team and eliminate them one by one. Finally, I asked Xiao He and Xiao Luo, and then I was sure it was you. Jiang Yuan, I have been watching you play football every morning since last Friday!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan's eyes widened. Since obtaining the system, Jiang Yuan would run from the dormitory to the football field at 4 o'clock every day to see if the system would drop a template fragment or a cell regeneration reward in order to trigger the system's tasks. What he never expected was that his amazing perseverance was not without an audience. Wang Hongming had been watching him in secret. Jiang Yuan felt a little embarrassed now. As the saying goes, we are not afraid of internal competition, but we are afraid of being discovered by others! Jiang Yuan licked his lips, looking a little embarrassed: "Principal, I'm really sorry for disturbing your sleep..." "No" Wang Hongming shook his head. Jiang Yuan's training in the early morning is still mainly dribbling. He only has free kick training in order to get the template. To be honest, the sound of Jiang Yuan kicking the ball is not even as loud as the sound of a cat meowing at night. The main reason why Wang Hongming could hear it was because he had very good hearing. "Classmate, can you tell me what your dream is?" Wang Hongming suddenly changed the subject and asked Jiang Yuan a very obvious question. Jiang Yuan thought about it seriously and gave an answer. "Hmm...you want to be an astronaut when you grow up?" Wang Hongming just smiled. "I found that all young people, from middle school to college and then graduate school, have one thing in common. They are reluctant to speak out their dreams. I think this is a sign of lack of confidence." Wang Hongming pulled Jiang Yuan's elbow and motioned for Jiang Yuan to take a walk with him on the playground. "But often those children in kindergarten or primary school always speak out their dreams loudly to the people around them. Jiang Yuan, do you know why?" "This……" Jiang Yuan was speechless. Why did the principal talk to him about this?
There was no other way. In order to answer the principal's question, Jiang Yuan took himself as an example and thought carefully. Yes, why when Wang Hongming asked himself what his dream was, he chose to avoid this sensitive question with a joke instead of saying it out loud? A light flashed in Jiang Yuan's mind, and he figured it out: "Perhaps, because adults know that it is not easy to realize dreams, they don't want to attract attention, so they bury their dreams in their hearts?" If the 16-year-old Jiang Yuan were asked to answer, he would definitely not be able to give such an answer. But now Jiang Yuan is also an adult who has experienced life and has some insights. "So, if you don't speak up, how can you have the courage to realize your dreams?" "Principal, my dream is..." "You don't need to tell me, you just know it in your heart. You are willing to come out to train when others are sleeping, which proves that you are ambitious, but ambition is not enough, you also need courage." "..." Jiang Yuan and Wang Hongming walked side by side on the playground and chatted for half an hour without realizing it. After returning to high school, Jiang Yuan always regarded his classmates as underage children. However, compared with Wang Hongming, Jiang Yuan himself became the "child" who needed to be guided. "Okay, sorry to interrupt your training, good luck in tomorrow's game!" Wang Hongming walked away from the playground, but suddenly stopped halfway and turned to face Jiang Yuan: "Boy, do you think you are talented?" "I'm cheating..." Jiang Yuan murmured. "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly!" Wang Hongming shouted even louder. "Of course I have talent!" Jiang Yuan shouted back. Hearing Jiang Yuan's answer, Wang Hongming smiled with satisfaction, just like a teacher who hears a student give the answer to the final question. "I wish you success!" After saying that, Wang Hongming no longer looked back, and his back slowly disappeared from Jiang Yuan's sight. "call--" Jiang Yuan let out a long sigh. Although Wang Hongming's tone had always been kind, his identity as the principal would undoubtedly increase the pressure on Jiang Yuan when interacting with him. Although their relationship was somewhat awkward, Jiang Yuan had to admit that chatting with Wang Hongming helped him grow a lot. Wang Hongming was right. As he grew older and gained more experience, Jiang Yuan became much less courageous. However, since he has chosen the path of sports, arrogance and pride are destined to accompany Jiang Yuan throughout his life. "I want to be the king of football!" "I want to be the king of football!" "Damn it, no one can stop me from becoming the king of football!" In the empty playground, Jiang Yuan yelled three times in succession, releasing his suppressed emotions. Then he kicked the ball and continued his mission.
Starting to run with the ball again, Jiang Yuan felt that his physical pain and mental fatigue were nothing. …… [You have achieved cell regeneration, and your current physical condition has reached its best! ] At night, Jiang Yuan lay down on the mat in the equipment room, and a familiar tingling sensation spread throughout his body. It was the same feeling as last time. The pain in Jiang Yuan's body disappeared in an instant, and even his mind became clear. Cell regeneration not only restored Jiang Yuan’s physical strength, but also refreshed his mental state along with his physical strength. "Wow!" At this moment, the roller shutter door of the equipment room was suddenly pulled up, and the person who came in was the head coach He Qiongshan. "What to teach" Jiang Yuan stood up quickly. He believed that one must respect the coach. This was the most basic principle for an athlete. "Jiang Yuan, it's really hard to find you. I asked your class teacher and he said you had asked for leave. I also called your parents and they said you didn't go home." "When I saw the light in the equipment room was on just now, I guessed you might be in there." "You haven't been practicing here all afternoon, have you?" He Qiongshan asked Jiang Yuan to sit down and he also found a stool to sit on. "Diligence can make up for lack of talent!" Jiang Yuan scratched his head. "Jiang Yuan, I came here to talk to you about tomorrow's game..." He Qiongshan's serious expression made Jiang Yuan nervous. "He Jiao, what's wrong?" There was a hint of hesitation in He Qiongshan's deep eyes, but in the end he still said what was in his heart. "Coach Luo and I discussed this for a whole day, and finally decided that you will play as a substitute in tomorrow's game." "?" …… (End of this chapter)
