However, in order to win, every cla.s.s would find an excuse to subst.i.tute the weaker students in their cla.s.s and prevent them from partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion.
This was also the only event in which all the cla.s.ses had practiced.
Practically every PE cla.s.s was simply swinging and jumping rope practice.
Winning teams would be chosen from amongst the first-years, second-years, and third-years, before the three winning teams would compete to determine the final victor.
There were 12 cla.s.ses in Grade 1, and each cla.s.s had people who stayed on the stands—more or less two to five people in each cla.s.s. However, in Cla.s.s 1 there was only one boy who was wearing gla.s.ses; his face was very pale as he sat in his seat, watching as his cla.s.smates walked towards the middle of the field in high spirits.
After everyone got into position, the people of Cla.s.s 1 faced the directions they had practiced, and they were facing the stands. They could see the lone boy sitting there.
The few people standing in front looked at each other and seemed to see each other’s pity in their eyes; they all shifted their gazes and bodies away.
The teacher stood at the side and looked at them. “What are you looking at? Stand properly.”
The few of them glanced around and hesitated without saying anything. Then, they stood in their positions again.
The referee looked at them and asked, “Are you all ready?”
“Ready!”
“Ready!”
There were only two voices.
The people of Cla.s.s 1 were silent.
The judge glanced at them. “Where’s your cla.s.s?”
Everyone was silent until someone said, “Wait, Teacher!”
A girl walked out from the fifth seat. “Li Yang! Come quickly!” The girl waved at the boy sitting alone in his seat.
The boy seemed to be stunned for a moment, unable to react.
Until a second cla.s.smate walked out and looked at him. A boy waved at him. “Come over quickly!”
Only then did Li Yang react and stand up. He seemed to be in disbelief and did not dare to go over. It was not until more and more students called out to him that he walked out in a daze.
Then, he slowly began to run. A smile slowly appeared on his face as he ran over. Everyone silently moved to let him stand in the line.
The teacher did not stop them. Instead, he smiled at them.
When Li Yang joined the team, the teacher looked at them and asked gently, “Are you ready now?”
“We’re ready!”
Youthful voices resounded throughout the field.
The teacher gestured to the referee and slowly left the compet.i.tion area.
Lin Ci was also a little dazed when he saw the boy run over. In the end, she smiled silently, as if she had seen her own shadow.
It was different, but she also met the person who helped her. At that time, she was a loner and no one was willing to talk to her. No one would bring her along no matter what she did. On the surface, she did not care, but she actually yearned for it in her heart.
However, at that time, she was never someone who would take the initiative to ask for it. She acted as if she did not care at all.
Until someone saw through her desire and called her name.
“Lin Ci.”
She would remember that gentle and pleasant voice for the rest of her life. That was also the first time she had called her name.
Lin Ci turned to look at Lu Ning. Lu Ning also looked at the little boy over there. She smiled and retracted her gaze. When she turned around, she met Lin Ci’s gaze. The two of them could not help but look at each other and smile.
Sometimes, a person’s life experience seemed to be more important than winning or losing the game.
The people from Cla.s.s 1 defeated five opponents in a row and lost to Cla.s.s 7 of Year One. The duration they persisted was more than ten minutes longer than they could during practice. Everyone returned to their seats cheerful, not discouraged at all by losing the compet.i.tion..
