MTL - Chasing Summer-Chapter 32

The next day, the sweltering weather really started to pick up wind.

The wind blows on the scorching hot rubber track, blows through the treetops, and blows across the entire stadium, bringing a rare coolness.

Lin Zexia's relay event was the last in the morning.

She pinned the race number plate behind her back and waited for the announcement to call her number.

"The contestants who participated in the women's relay race in the second grade group, please go to Area A to prepare—"

Contestants need to queue up 15 minutes in advance. After Lin Zexia heard the announcement, he followed others down from the side of the stands.

As a result, when she arrived in Area A, she just lined up when she saw two very familiar people sitting on the side of the runway.

Xu Ting waved at her: "Hi, Young Master Lin."

Lin Zhexia was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

After finishing speaking, she turned to another person, "And you, shouldn't you stay in the stands."

Chi Yao didn't wear a school uniform today, and many people didn't wear it today. The school couldn't manage it because there were too many people in the sports meeting—and many people had to change clothes after the game, so the school defaulted to not wearing school uniforms the next day.

He was wearing a simple T-shirt, a pair of jeans on his lower body, his legs were too long, probably because he was afraid of the sun, and he had a coat that he took off on his knees. He was sitting side by side with Xu Ting on the inside of the rubber track.

Almost at the same time, the man and the dog talk at the same time—

Xu Ting: "Let's come down to cheer you up."

Chi Yao casually said, "I'm bored, come down and watch the turtle race."

"..."

"You stay with Xu Ting all day," Lin Zhexia said holding his breath, "learn how to speak to others."

Xu Ting bumped him with his elbow: "Did you hear that?"

Chi Yao: "Can't hear, I'm deaf."

Lin Zhexia: "You are a tortoise. I am fourth. I will show you what amazing speed is."

Chi Yao didn't say a word, and the whole person expressed a meaning.

A meaning full of disdain: just you. Also amazing.

While speaking, their team began to count people.

Lin Zhexia no longer talks to Chi Yao. In the past, she would silently say "The enemy's doubts are the biggest motivation for me to move forward. I must impress that **** Chi Yao", but now she finds that her thoughts are not like that at all. .

The closer she got to playing, the more nervous she became.

But the nervousness was not because of the referee's gunshot, but because she realized that Chi Yao was watching her from the sidelines. And he will keep watching her.

very strange.

This realization made her suddenly tense up.

The process of the relay race was very fast, and she was preparing to take over the baton. At the same time, she enlightened herself in her heart: Isn't it just being very close to her, isn't it just sitting on the sidelines and watching her run.

is not it…

Lin Zhexia ran towards the finish line with such thoughts, but halfway through the run she found something was wrong.

No warm-up, coupled with psychological pressure, and she exerted too much force when she started running, her calf started to cramp within a few steps.

By the time she realized it, her knee had rubbed hard against the rubber track, causing burning pain.

Xu Ting yelled "Fuck me".

"Why did you fall?"

He subconsciously wanted to rush up to help, but soon realized that it was Chi Yao who was going to help, but when he turned around, he found that Chi Yao hadn't moved, "Aren't you going to help?"

"Wait until she finishes running."

Xu Ting felt that it was outrageous, and couldn't help saying: "I fell and ran..."

He wanted to say that you are too cold-blooded, but unexpectedly found that Chi Yao is actually tense now.

When the young man spoke, his Adam's apple moved very hard: "Compared to being helped away halfway, she would rather finish the run. Because this is a relay race, she is not the only one in the whole team. With her character, she will blame herself if she doesn't finish the run. "

"So... wait for her to finish running."

Xu Ting was stunned.

He looked at the track again, and found that Lin Zhexia was not supported by anyone. She supported the ground and stood up at the fastest speed, and then continued to run forward.

But with a fall just now, Class 7, who was originally in the front, was already behind the others.

"Is this the person who grew up together?" Xu Ting touched his nose and said, "It's really different from ordinary people. I used to think that you two are very familiar, but I didn't expect to be able to reach this level. Needless to say, you both know each other What are you thinking?"

In the end, without any suspense, Lin Zexia was the last to cross the finish line.

Chi Yao waited for her at the finish line, squatted down: "Come up, go to the infirmary."

Lin Zhexia said emphatically before lying on his back: "If I hadn't fallen just now, I would definitely be number one."

This time Chi Yao didn't yell at her, and let out a "huh" from his throat.

"You better not be perfunctory with me."

"Ok."

"..."

Lin Zhexia didn't want to talk anymore.

Chi Yao carried her to the infirmary.

Lin Zhexia lay on his back, smelling the smell of washing powder that had been exposed to the sun.

Then belatedly, I felt my ears were burning.

"What a shame."

Lin Zhexia buried her face in his clothes and said, "So many people are watching."

"You're done running," Chi Yao said, "There's no shame in it."

— But you saw it.

Lin Zhexia's first reaction was this sentence.

Originally, before she ran, she was inexplicably concerned that he would watch from the side, but she fell in front of him.

The infirmary is at the back of the stadium.

After Chi Yao carried her out of the crowd, she couldn't help but ask, "I just..."

"what."

"Isn't it ugly to fall down?"

"..."

There was a moment of silence.

After Lin Zhexia asked, she began to regret it, because this sentence was not like what she would ask.

When has she ever cared about this in front of Chi Yao, that is, when she accidentally fell into a puddle on a rainy day, she wouldn't even ask "I was ugly just now" when she got up.

But recently she just started not to look like herself.

He began to care about his image in front of Chi Yao.

She explained for herself a little pretentiously: "After all, there are so many people, and I also want to save face. My dignified Mr. Lin can't lose this kind of person."

After a while, Chi Yao broke the silence: "It's okay."

Lin Zhexia: "...is it okay?"

Chi Yao said again: "It's not ugly."

Lin Zhexia threatened: "I'll give you another chance, and you answer again."

Chi Yao re-answered what it means to show strength: "It's a bit ugly, but it's acceptable."

"The meaning of asking you to answer again is to ask you to change the answer," Lin Zhexia said, "not to ask you to expand the three words 'not ugly'."

Chi Yao: "Oh, I thought you didn't understand the meaning of these three words."

Lin Zhexia: "..."

Lin Zhexia: "Anyway, you can change the answer."

The person behind her back asked, "Are you sure?"

Lin Zhexia gave a "hmm".

Chi Yao paused, and replied again: "It's pretty ugly."

"..."

Getting closer to the infirmary.

She was lying on Chi Yao's back, and neither of them could see each other's faces.

Lin Zhexia didn't need to deliberately hide her hot ear tips, and she couldn't see Chi Yao's expression at the moment when she was speaking, but the tone of the "pretty ugly" that deliberately choked her seemed a little gentle.

After arriving at the infirmary, the school doctor in a white coat checked her injuries.

"It's okay, but the skin is broken, and there's nothing wrong with disinfecting it." The school doctor opened the medicine box. "Disinfecting may be a bit painful, and your knee is scratched a lot."

Disinfection does hurt a bit, but it's tolerable.

Lin Zhexia subconsciously grabbed Chi Yao's arm, closed her eyes, and the pain gradually disappeared after a while.

"You can rest here for a while after disinfection, just be careful when you walk around. You don't have any projects behind you—you can do it if you don't have one, and you can't run in this situation."

The school doctor closed the medicine box, and finally said, "If you still feel uncomfortable in the future, come to the infirmary to find me again."

There seemed to be other emergencies on the field, the school doctor didn't stay in the infirmary, and soon went out with the box.

The infirmary is small, with only three or four beds, separated by white curtains.

Lin Zhexia sat on the bed and said, "I want to sleep for a while, about an hour. If I don't wake up in an hour, remember to come and call me."

Chi Yao closed the curtain for her and said, "Got it."

After finishing speaking, Lin Zhexia found that Chi Yao had no intention of leaving.

"Aren't you going?"

Chi Yao sat on the seat outside through the curtain: "I'm here to watch."

Lin Zhexia said slowly, "Don't worry about me so much."

"Who's worried about you," Chi Yao said, "It's too hot outside."

At the end, Chi Yao said again: "You don't have to be so affectionate."

"..."

Oh.

Lin Zhexia lay down on the bed, the air conditioner in the infirmary was a bit cold, so she pulled the quilt again.

Probably because she had been in the sun for two days in the stands, she was really too tired, and she fell asleep not long after.

This time she slept deeply.

In this hot summer of this year, I secretly took a deep nap.

Chi Yao sat with her at a place separated from her only by a transparent white curtain.

Lin Zhexia seemed to have a dream about summer, but it was very vague. In the dream, a girl called "Chi Yao".

The girl seemed to be saying, "You are Chi Yao, right?"

After she gradually regained her consciousness, she opened her eyes and found that she had woken up, but the "dream" was not over yet.

Because the girl's voice came through the curtain clearly: "I watched you play basketball. I'm He Yang's classmate, and I asked him for your contact information...I didn't expect to meet you here."

Lin Zhexia realized that this was not a dream.

It was true that a girl was talking to Chi Yao, and she was woken up by the voice.

The girl continued to say, "What's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, Lin Zhexia felt a little indescribably bored again.

But this time the stuffy feeling didn't last long—

Outside the curtain, Chi Yao's familiar voice said, "Are you okay?"

"..."

The attitude is still as bad as ever.

Lin Zhexia thought to herself, if she was that girl, she would definitely turn around and leave.

But the girl's defensive ability was stronger than she imagined, and she faced the difficulties: "There is something wrong."

"Your friend refused to add," the girl said, "Can you add me?"

Chi Yao still said in the same tone: "I can't."

"Let's make friends."

"I have no shortage of friends."

"That…"

The girl wanted to say something, but her eyes fell on the mobile phone he was holding in his hand.

"I don't have a cell phone," Chi Yao casually stretched his wrist, put the cell phone in his pocket, and said, "I'm too poor, I borrowed the cell phone I'm using now."

"..."
