Chapter 61: Talking to the point of numbness Starting from today, freshmen in the first grade of junior high school will also start going downstairs to do morning exercises. The physical exercise time during the past few days had been 25 minutes of free time, but now that the physical exercise was about to start, everyone felt as if they had fallen from heaven to hell. Wen Susu, wearing a plain white dress, clapped her hands at the podium, urging everyone to go downstairs quickly. "We have to do morning exercises today! Don't sit in your seats, hurry downstairs and line up. How are you doing with your morning exercises?" “I haven’t learned it yet!” “I don’t know how!” Everyone answered in a loud voice. They had only taken two physical education classes in total. Not everyone was as talented as Xu Cailing, so how could they learn all the moves? "Those who don't know how to do it should learn it quickly. Go downstairs and line up. Make sure to do the movements you know how to do. Don't let me catch you standing there doing nothing!" "Ouch~~"
Everyone groaned, but still got up from their seats and went downstairs to line up. Liu Zhiyi's little butt had just sprouted on the chair, and now she stood up from the chair with an extremely heavy heart. Her movements were so slow that it seemed like she was separating two magnets that were stuck together, and her expression looked a little melancholy. As for Xu Cailing, her expression was much more complicated. She was a little excited, nervous and shy. After all, as the physical education committee member, she would officially stand in front of the team and lead the exercises starting today. When she passed by Wen Susu, Wen Susu also called her. "Cai Ling, how are you doing with your morning exercises?" “It’s okay…” The girl scratched her head modestly. "You will be standing in front and leading the drill later. When you go down, remember to organize the class first, and then, perform well!" "Uh-huh!" "come on!" Xu Cailing was very pleased with Wen Susu's encouragement. The girl nodded vigorously and walked out of the classroom, but she was not in a hurry to go down. Instead, she stood in the corridor and looked in the direction of Fang Wei in the classroom. The two looked at each other, and the meaning in the girl's eyes was very clear: Why don't you come down with me quickly! When Fang Wei passed by Wen Susu, Wen Susu also stopped him and gave him two words of advice: "Assist Cai Ling in organizing the team!" "..." …… Fang Wei had long realized that as a squad leader, he was born to do all kinds of messy work. After going downstairs and arriving at the previously designated class positions, Fang Wei and Xu Cailing organized the boys' and girls' teams respectively. In fact, it was not a complicated matter. Just shout a few times and everyone lined up cooperatively. Wen Susu also went downstairs with them, but did not interfere with the work. The morning sun shone on the campus, a warm yellow color. She was wearing a white dress, standing in the shade of a tree, with her hands behind her back. The leaves on both sides of the school road swayed gently in the breeze, casting spots of light at her feet. Cicadas chirped, and she smiled at the students in her class. Occasionally, when the wind was strong, she gently used her fingers to hook her hair and put it behind her ears. It has a lot of atmosphere.
Fang Wei didn’t know what Teacher Wen was thinking at the moment. Maybe she was reminiscing about her own student days? Thinking that she was already a teacher, yet she still looked like a student, Fang Wei finally understood that "campus" was not just a noun for a place. At certain times, it could even be used to describe a person's temperament - campus temperament. It is hard to imagine that the impression of campus can be so embodied in a person and become a temperament. Teacher Wen is probably like this. No matter whether she is a student or a teacher, people inexplicably feel that she should exist on campus. …… The loud speaker on the stage played the loud "Athletes' March" All the students in the school came out of the teaching building and gathered in the playground. Today is Friday. The students in the second and third grades are all wearing school uniforms, and most of the freshmen in the first grade are also wearing new school uniforms. After organizing the class team, Fang Wei planned to return to the middle and back of the boys' team. Xu Cailing held him back and whispered: "You come to the front...!" "You're the one leading the exercise, why should I stand in front?" "Well, you just stand in front anyway...!" Fang Wei found the girl's coy demeanor somewhat amusing. She seemed to be trying to encourage him to be brave. Fang Wei didn't bully her about this matter, so he did as she wished and stood at the front of the boys' team. Xu Cailing finally breathed a sigh of relief. She took two steps forward and stood at the front of the class. Standing in the same row with her were the physical education committee members from other classes who were also responsible for leading the exercises - all boys, with her being the only girl. For a little girl of twelve or thirteen, it is impossible to say that she is not nervous at all, even if she is usually enthusiastic and outgoing. The physical education committee members of the second and third grade students in the distance were quite calm. After all, they were used to it. However, the other boys who were also physical education committee members of the first grade seemed to be more nervous than her. They scratched their ears and cheeks and looked quite uneasy. But fortunately, Fang Wei was standing behind her, and when she felt nervous occasionally, she would secretly look back. Sometimes Fang Wei was looking at her, and their eyes would meet; Sometimes when Fang Wei didn't look at her, their eyes would stray from each other; But no matter what, as long as he stood behind her, she could feel at ease. The Athletes’ March stopped. Teacher Niu stood on the podium and manually adjusted the large speaker, and the sound of the music suddenly changed. [The Second National Radio Gymnastics for Middle School Students: The Times Are Calling!] When this opening line came out from the loudspeaker, something in my blood seemed to be awakened... Xu Cailing took a deep breath, turned her head to glance at Fang Wei, then stood up straight. [Ready! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight] [22345678] …… The light of the morning sun fell on the girl at the front of the team, making her new white school uniform look a little dazzling. The girl's exposed arms and neck skin were a healthy wheat color. She followed the instructions on the radio and began to perform the movements. The short ponytail tied behind her head swayed along with the movements.
The rhythm goes from slow to fast, her body is light, her movements are standard, and her entire personality and temperament are released along with her movements, appearing quite youthful and lively. Wen Susu's eyes fell on her, Fang Wei's eyes also fell on her, the eyes of the whole class also fell on her, and even the eyes of the students in the next class fell on this girl who served as the sports committee member. For the freshmen in the first grade, everyone's progress in learning the radio gymnastics was similar, and they only attended two classes at most. Not to mention most of the students, even the sports committee members of other classes who led the gymnastics with her still couldn't do many movements, and those movements they could do were only done sparsely and awkwardly. In such a comparison, Xu Cailing, who was able to complete the entire set of radio gymnastics with very skilled and standard movements, and most importantly, danced particularly beautifully, stood out! Wen Susu looked at Xu Cailing with a smile, her eyes full of satisfaction. When she turned her gaze from Xu Cailing to the classmates behind her, the smile on her lips disappeared, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to support her forehead. Fang Wei also turned his head and looked back. It can only be described as rotten. Fang Wei could see that Liu Zhiyi wanted to do the movements well, but his hands and legs were not very obedient. After trying for a while, he finally gave up and just kept stepping on the spot, like a robot waiting to receive instructions. But her aloof temperament made her look cool and handsome in the eyes of other students, so most of the students behind her also followed her example and kept their steps in place... Soon, the music of the radio gymnastics ended, and everyone was freed and stood there breathing a sigh of relief. Xu Cailing also breathed a sigh of relief. This little bit of exercise certainly didn't make her feel tired, but because she was nervous, she didn't breathe much during the whole process and almost suffocated herself! The first thing he did after stopping was to turn around and look at Fang Wei and the classmates behind him. Fang Wei secretly gave her a thumbs up. "hey-hey……" The girl was satisfied and stood there obediently, waiting to be dismissed. …… "I was so nervous just now!!" "Ah." “How did I do? Did I do anything wrong?” “No, it’s pretty standard.” "What about the other classes' exercise leaders, how are they doing?" "I didn't look at them, only at you, but they didn't do very well either." "Did you follow along?" "affim." "It's so tiring to lead the group. I don't want to lead them next time." "Ah." "I was so nervous just now!!" "You said it." "Oh, I know. I just want to see if you are listening to me."
"……roll." The team disbanded and when they went upstairs, Xu Cailing started chattering to him about what had just happened. Fang Wei was used to it. Women were like this no matter how old they were. No matter if it was good or bad, or if they were in a good mood or a bad mood, as long as she said it out loud it would be fine. Otherwise, if she kept it in her heart, sooner or later it would become a big bomb. This is probably Xu Cailing's way of [recharging]. No matter what happens, she always finds Fang Wei to chat for a long time. After talking Fang Wei till he was numb, she felt fully recharged, patted her butt and left in high spirits, looking full of energy again. Fang Wei returned to the classroom. Liu Zhiyi has returned to his seat. Although it was just past eight o'clock, the sun in the playground was still quite strong. She had a naturally fair skin and was not at all resistant to the sun. After only a short while, her pretty face turned red and her forehead was a little sweaty, as if she had just wiped it with a handkerchief. She was now standing on the chair frame with her legs raised, her body curled up into a small ball, holding a handkerchief in her hand, and staring blankly at herself. Fang Wei didn't disturb her. The girl was currently [charging] and had reattached the root of her butt to the chair. …… There are still a few minutes before class starts and the class is bustling. In fact, the relationship between classmates is established much faster than imagined. In the first two days of school, everyone just played with people they were familiar with. But after all, they were all young peers. After changing seats, they quickly played together with the new classmates. There were only forty-two students in the class, and with his previous memories, Fang Wei easily remembered the name of each classmate. He never went to college, but he has heard from colleagues who did go to college that after four years of college, they still couldn't recognize all of their classmates by the time they graduated. Fang Wei felt quite shocked at the time and didn't know what kind of experience this was. When I was taking out my textbook to prepare for class, the girl at the front desk came over with a geometry book. Her name is Ye Xiaoli. She sits at the same table with Wang Qiaoyun and in front of Fang Wei and Liu Zhiyi. Normally Fang Wei didn’t talk much with the two of them, but over the past few days, the two girls sitting in front of him had become very familiar with him. After all, he was the class monitor. It was basically consistent with my impression from my previous life. The two girls sitting in front of me had average grades, but they were both very outgoing and easy to get along with. "Squad leader, do you want to play Go?" Ye Xiaoli asked. Only then did Fang Wei understand the meaning of the geometry book in her hand. After all, he had seen them playing Go secretly during class many times in the past two days. There are no chess pieces and no chessboard. There is only a pen in each person's hand and a geometry book filled with small green grids. The rules of the game are very simple. In the geometry book, one person draws √ and the other draws O. Whoever connects five first wins. We have been playing this way since elementary school. There were more things to play with in elementary school, such as marbles, hopscotch, dodgeball, cat's tuck, paper snapping, etc. I don't know how these games became unified across the country, but even in small island villages like this, boys and girls played like this. Of course, after all, we are all glorious junior high school students now, not elementary school students anymore. Many games played in elementary school seem childish now, so we just play some adult games. "Okay, how do you want to play?" Fang Wei asked with interest. "Best of three!" Ye Xiaoli said with a smile. "Okay, there are still five minutes before class starts, which is enough time to win two games against you." Fang Wei looked at the time.
"Wow, squad leader, you are so arrogant. Even Qiao Yun can't beat me." "I'll let you hit me!" Wang Qiaoyun on the side also smiled and hit her. While the three of them were chatting, Liu Zhiyi was reading quietly, as if he was unaware of anything. Even though they were both girls, Ye Xiaoli and Wang Qiaoyun didn't dare to talk to Liu Zhiyi. Although the girls couldn't understand her, they could feel her cold temperament. In addition, since they came from big cities, they naturally felt a distance from her. However, as the initiator of the game, Ye Xiaoli thought about it and asked her politely: "Liu Zhiyi, do you want to play together?" In fact, Ye Xiaoli was already prepared to be rejected by her. Not to mention Ye Xiaoli, even Fang Wei, who sat at the same table with her, had already thought of the way Liu Zhiyi would reject him - just shake his head gently without making any sound. "Okay." "..." "..." Convinced that he had not heard wrongly, Fang Wei looked at her with a little surprise. Seems...something has changed? Ye Xiaoli was also stunned, but soon she started to laugh: "Well, we don't have much time, I'll play a round with the squad leader, and then I'll play a round with you, we'll take turns, how about that?" "Ah." Liu Zhiyi nodded. His expression remained calm, but his heart was pounding. (End of this chapter)
