Zhang Binglin almost spit out his food. Su Chaoliu's straightforwardness left people speechless, and his simplicity and crudeness left people stunned. Gao Zixu laughed out loud in a very disrespectful manner, not giving anyone any face. The scene suddenly became awkward. But Su Chaoliu shamelessly ignored the embarrassment, turned around and glanced at Gao Zixu, trying to strike up a conversation: "If you can't eat spicy food, you can eat more fish balls. Those are not spicy." Gao Zixu was the one who could least tolerate spicy food here. His whole body turned red from the spiciness, but he still kept picking up chicken and eating it. He drank water while eating, and the water in the kettle was decreasing at an alarming rate. Su Chaoliu felt that he was torturing himself, but spicy food has this kind of charm that makes people unable to stop, so Su Chaoliu expressed his understanding. "I won't!" Gao Zixu uttered two words through his teeth, "I want to eat the most expensive one." Compared to chicken, fish balls require more energy. After all, making fish balls is a strenuous job. However, the overbearing aroma of the chicken pot and its attractive red color can easily give people the illusion of being more advanced. However, fish ball tofu soup is indeed easier to make, provided that the fish balls are already prepared.
Su Chaoliu simply didn't bother to care about him, as long as he was happy. The meal ended in a strange atmosphere. The four people basically didn't talk to each other and ate their meals in silence. Shi Yu silently reduced her presence and only reached out to pick up the vegetables in front of her. Gao Zixu seemed determined to eat her out of money and drank cold water while eating chicken. Zhang Binglin was not affected by the other two people at all and just picked up the dishes he wanted, sharing equally. Su Chaoliu suffered from indigestion after the meal, but the other three people seemed to have good appetites and finished all the food. It seems her craft is pretty good. Su Chaoliu served some fruit after the meal and then began to clear the table. Zhang Binglin asked politely, "Do you need help?" "No need," Su Chaoliu refused, "It will be quick." In fact, you don’t need to do much to clean up, just put the bowls, chopsticks and plates into the dishwasher. Since everyone eats very cleanly and there is no food residue left, you don’t even need to throw away the kitchen waste, just put it directly in. The fruit for after the meal is apple. It is a convenient fruit that is easy to store and can be eaten directly without peeling. The four of them were munching on apples while they began to discuss the cross-country race. Su Chaoliu originally wanted to use a meal to bring the four people closer together, but it didn't work very well, as the relationship between them was still so stiff. Su Chaoliu cleared his throat: "Then let's take a look at the requirements of this cross-country race..." Gao Zixu interrupted Su Chaoliu forcefully: "I think we should nominate a captain first." Su Chaoliu glanced at him, only to see the blazing flame of competition in his eyes. He sneered, "Alright, then I'll say it first. I want to be the one." You have to fight for what you need to fight for, and you can't retreat even a single step where you can't retreat. There is no point in pretending to be gentle, kind, frugal and modest. As she expected, Gao Zixu refused to give in. Su Chaoliu didn't think Gao Zixu could beat her, and she still had some confidence, but Gao Zixu proudly threw out his trump card: he had experience in similar competitions and had won quite a few medals. This is the difference in background.
The competition that Gao Zixu participated in might not be very formal, nor would it be large in scale or very intense, but it was also extremely valuable experience. Anyway, Su Chaoliu had never participated in a so-called cross-country race, and District Z didn't have the spare money to hold a cross-country race. Su Chaoliu watched his entire competition experience and was speechless for a long time. "Are you an off-road enthusiast?" Su Chaoliu counted Gao Zixu's experience in cross-country races and found that since Gao Zixu was twelve years old, he had participated in one or two cross-country races every year, not only on foot, but also in those that required driving. Gao Zixu snorted: "How do you know that I am better than others if I don't participate in the competition?" This logic... seems to be fine, but it sounds strange. Su Chaoqi knew that she probably had no competitiveness this time. No matter whether Gao Zixu participated in the cross-country race out of interest or for some other considerations, he was better than her. Su Chaoliu was not someone who could not afford to lose, so she accepted the result very calmly. There's nothing wrong with letting Gao Zixu do it once. She backed down too quickly, which disappointed the other two people who were waiting to see the show. I thought we had to fight. Gao Zixu proudly began to lead the discussion: "First, let's take a look at the level setting of this cross-country race." Their cross-country race is held in a rented venue, which uses simulated projection to simulate outdoor scenes, and is based on the same principle as the club's racing track. I hope the organizers can be more supportive this time and there won’t be any accidents like what happened in the club. The total length of the cross-country track is 50 kilometers. For students of the individual soldier department, this length of track is not a problem, but there are more than a dozen levels, including shooting, resolving hostages, underwater retrieval, crossing canyons, etc., and the only equipment that can be carried is the basic package, a pistol and a saber. If you want other equipment, you have to complete the task and earn points for redemption. The final result is to see which team reaches the finish line first. If a level cannot be passed, the team will be blocked until it is completed, so even if you are ahead, there is always the risk of being overtaken. Although this competition did not have much significance and was not very valuable, they were participating to represent the face of the First Military Academy. If they brought shame to the First Military Academy, they had no doubt that Yu Zhenbo would beat them to death. There are still ten days left before the competition, and they will do intensive training on the levels within these ten days. Don't be fooled by Gao Zixu's boasting, acting like a Charizard with its tail spread out all day long, but he is still the second in the grade after all, and his professional qualities are no worse than Su Chaoliu. The decisive gap between him and Su Chaoliu lies in mental strength. Su Chaoliu was always a little more sharp and focused than him, his observation skills were a little better, and the use of his supernatural powers was a little smoother. It was the continuous accumulation of these little things that led to the gap between the two of them, which seemed small but was actually impossible to catch up with. However, this difference is usually not reflected. Therefore, Su Chaoliu did not have much opinion on Gao Zixu's technical and tactical arrangements, because their considerations were similar to hers. If she were in his shoes, she would make the same arrangements. Of course, this does not mean that there are no differences, but most of the differences are still within the controllable range and will not make the situation too ugly. After the tactics were arranged, it was time to start practicing. Lin Jiawei took time out to watch their training. She leaned against the wall, looked for a while, and raised her eyebrows in surprise. Su Chaoliu was more reserved than she thought and did not show any aggressive edge. She was worried about this. During a break in the training, four people came over and said hello to Lin Jiawei. "I just came to take a look," Lin Jiawei nodded to them, "You guys practice yours."
After the practice ended, Lin Jiawei waved to Su Chaoliu: "Come with me." Although a little surprised, Su Chaoliu still followed. The two walked out of the training ground, Lin Jiawei turned towards the playground, and Su Chaoliu followed her. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening when they finished their practice. Most students had already finished their day's campus life and returned to the dormitory to rest, so there were not many people on the playground. Su Chaoliu asked, "Why, do you want to tell me something?" "Old Yu asked me to come here," Lin Jiawei explained, "I'm not that careful, but I didn't come here specifically to find you. I'll go find whoever of you and Zixu doesn't want to be the captain." Su Chaoliu nodded: "The president is really worried." After all, as the president of the student union, there are more things to consider. Lin Jiawei couldn't help laughing when she recalled their situation at that time: "In fact, we were similar back then, a little more intense than you. The four of us were very motivated and always fought until our heads were broken and bloody." In Su Chaoliu's class, Zhang Binglin and Shi Yu are obviously less competitive than Su Chaoliu and Gao Zixu. However, the advantages and disadvantages of Su Chaoliu and Gao Zixu are very obvious. Su Chaoliu's personal abilities are extremely excellent and outstanding, but she is too "independent". There are not many people who have a good relationship with her, and she also has a most fatal flaw. Gao Zixu is good in everything, and his comprehensive index is definitely high in all aspects, but he is always the runner-up. Su Chaoliu, who is above him, also wants to compete with him, which makes him seem not to be fully suppressive enough. Su Chaoliu was not surprised: "Of course, students from the individual soldier department have a stronger sense of competition." Even though Zhang Binglin and Shi Yu have no intention of competing with her and Gao Zixu now, as long as they make the slightest mistake, they will definitely come up and join the competition. Lin Jiawei looked at Su Chaoliu and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity for your background." When it comes to being unique, the Yan family is the best among them. Let alone Yan Tieyi, even Yan Hanguang is not that friendly, but that is called aloofness and coldness, and personal charm. The Yan family is the capital of their arrogance, and even though they are so "unique", they still have a large number of followers. As for Su Chaoliu, he is not sociable. This is the impression and view brought about by one’s background. It is very realistic and also very frustrating. Is her birth a pity? Su Chaoliu doesn't think so. At least, she was really glad that she was born and grew up with Su Chaoqi, so her soul would not feel lonely. But you can't say this to others. Su Chaoliu chuckled, looked up at the boundless sky and said, "People who always dwell on their own pity will eventually become truly pity." The sky or the interstellar space is so vast. Those who can only see the past have such a narrow vision. Good fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. How can it be possible to only want good fortune and not misfortune? Life is so long, who knows which experience will become a turning point in your life. This sentence was a bit difficult to understand. Lin Jiawei pondered it over and over again before she understood what Su Chaoliu meant. Lin Jiawei really admires Su Chaoliu's carefree nature. (End of this chapter)
