76. Look up, and you’ll see it.

Not long after, the English teacher, who the students in Class 7 have been speculating for a long time whether he would be missing an arm or a broken leg, entered the classroom door safe and sound together with Sheng-ge.

For some reason, Duan Lei still felt that Sheng-ge seemed a little red.

“It might be because of the light.” Yao Qiang also felt the same way. He opened the curtains and looked at the glowing red clouds outside. “Look, today’s clouds look like scrambled eggs with tomatoes in our school cafeteria.”

Hearing this analogy, the school committee of their class couldn’t help interjecting: “Can you be a little bit serious?”

“No.” Yao Qiang rubbed his stomach, “The food in the cafeteria supports me. The hands of the auntie who scooped the rice today were so fast it made me think I was hallucinating.”

The canteen has an unshakable position in the hearts of the students of the third high school in the past. Every canteen aunt can scoop rice onto the plate so fast it leaves an afterimage.

Meat dishes are fine, there is no meat anyway, half a spoonful of eggs can be shaken off with a spoonful of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and the final plate is full of sweet and sour tomatoes.

It’s bright red, and if you can find an egg, you have to take out your mobile phone to take a photo and post it on your Moments.

Therefore, the reason why No. 3 high school’s sports meeting has always been extremely lively and able to unite the students is not only because they are high schools that prefer sports and art, but also because there are meals  for athletes’ in the cafeteria during the sports meeting.

There is a special person at the window to record, as long as you have the bib number from the competition, you can order a plate, there are vegetables and meat, unlimited rice, and it can be served again after eating.

Although it is actually a box lunch equivalent to 10 yuan a piece in the back street, the fact that you can eat meals with meat from the school cafeteria still infinitely mobilises the enthusiasm of the students.

“When the athlete’s meal comes, there will be a special person to help pick it up, so you don’t have to go by yourself. Everyone remembers to bring all the equipment. Those who bring mobile phones to play games put a photo of the learning materials on the lock screen. The more complicated the better, those who bring novels remember to pack a book cover.”

The lifestyle committee member read the precautions to everyone, and asked Yu Sheng for help with a bag of blank number bibs: “Sheng-ge, your handwriting is beautiful, can you help me write this?”

Yu Sheng nodded, and took over the roster and number cloth.

Jin Linkun also wanted to help, so he asked for another black marker: “Shall I write a little?”

The question of “whether family members are allowed to enter” has not been able to get a clear answer.

Yu Sheng almost threw him out because of the slightly itchy warm air around his ears, but because it was too dangerous to swing someone directly from the stairwell. After stopping, he carried him all the way back to the classroom.

“How about I borrow the No. 3 high school uniform.”

Holding the pen in his hand, Jin Linkun wrote the standard block letters, copied the name neatly from the roster, and whispered to him: “I found out, as long as I don’t wear a formal shirt, they won’t be able to find me…”

Yu Sheng wrote two strokes, the corner of his mouth slightly raised: “No need.”

Before Jin Linkun could speak again, he had already lowered his head again, finished writing the number cloth in his hand, and folded it on the table: “I’ll pick you up, you can come in.”

Jin Linkun’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help smiling. He reached out with his left hand, wanting to hold hands with him: “Then I’ll sit with you?”

The provincial school’s sports meeting was very troublesome. Jin Linkun participated in it twice: “Do I need to wear a hat? White gloves? What equipment do you need? I will prepare it in advance according to the requirements…”

The warm body temperature came over, Yu Sheng tried to suppress his smile but still couldn’t hold back the arc, took a marker pen and drew a watch on his wrist.

Jin Linkun: “…”

Yu Sheng took a closer look, and added a second hand: “Okay.”

Duan Lei, who watched the two bosses with a score of over 700, said, “…”

“Come on, all the class committee come over to gather, and the class representatives are also counted.”

After learning that Yu Sheng agreed to lead the exercise, the class monitor sneaked into the class through the back door, and was carefully arranging the preparations before the sports meeting: “Half of the people will follow the lifestyle committee to purchase items tonight, and the rest will follow me to the auditorium tomorrow to occupy the seats. The brats from class 6 always rob us of our place, this time we must not let them succeed…”

The so-called auditorium is actually the circle of concrete steps on the edge of the field. Because the surrounding building environment is different, the location with shade will attract many people.

Every sports meeting, whether you can occupy the shaded area, has become the main competition between the class committees of each class.

“Back in the days, during the sports meeting in the freshman year of high school, we went to occupy seats at seven o’clock in the morning.”

The class committee member who was in the same class as the monitor in the freshman year of high school: “Time flies, time flies, fortunately we have only done this for three years.”

The sports committee just set the alarm clock, and looked up blankly: “Why is it only three years?”

“Because in the second year of high school, it was six o’clock in the morning.”

On the other side, the life committee member who was in the same class as the monitor added a sentence with a broom and patted the sports committee on the shoulder: “According to the arithmetic sequence, if you repeat this study for exactly one year, and the monitor also repeats for one year, then it will be 4am in the morning. Head to the auditorium at four o’clock. If you happen to repeat five years together, the class monitor may take you to the field to lay the mat…”

As soon as the voice fell, the lifestyle committee member was chased and beaten by the sports committee and monitor.

“Hey, bad luck, bad luck.”

Only then did the lifestyle committee members remember that they were already in their third year of high school, and they yelled twice, and raised their hands solemnly to change their words: “I am willing to stop eating mangoes for a year, changing the class monitor and the sports committee will definitely make a huge difference, and we will be able to get into the school we want to go to in a year.”

The sports committee was satisfied at this point. As soon as he sat back, the class monitor rushed over and continued to beat him: “Bullshit, you are allergic to mangoes, so you can’t even eat mangoes in the first place!”

The lifestyle committee member was strangled, his arms were fluttering, and he changed his words like a flutter: “I am willing to eat grapes for a year without spitting out grape skins…”

Jin Linkun usually gives lectures directly after he arrives, but he guess no one can listen to it today. While writing, Jin Linkun listened to the rambunctious quarrels of the students in Class 7, and couldn’t help but lightly touch the back of Yu Sheng’s hand: “Is your class always so fun?”

There were so many people in the class, Yu Sheng came back to his senses in a flash, and reflexively grabbed the hand and pressed it against the table: “Stop using your hands and feet.”

He held Jin Linkun’s hand firmly, and Jin Linkun could not retract his hand back after trying twice.

___

The meaning of his child’s “Stop using your hands and feet.” may be to ask him to hold hands honestly and not to take them back.

“Do not move.”

Jin Linkun nodded cooperatively, held hands with him at the table for a while, and leaned over his shoulder: “What are you looking at?”

Yu Sheng had been thinking about something before, and he didn’t listen to the people chatting. Yu Sheng took a moment to realise what he was asking: “Javelin.”

Jin Linkun: “…”

Before asking, he actually thought about a lot of possibilities.

For example, in high jump and long jump, he can go to help get the clothes and take a picture at the right time.

For example, tug-of-war, he can go to help wave the flag and cheer.

For example, for 3,000 metres, he can run with him, help pass water, and give Yu Sheng a warm hug at the finish line.

“……Friend.”

Jin Linkun cleared his throat: “In this program of yours, I don’t seem to be able to find a place where I can exist.”

Yu Sheng glanced at him, and couldn’t help but smile: “No need.”

Probably seeing that he was too disappointed with his head down, Yu Sheng sat for a while leaning against the red sunset glow which was like scrambled eggs with tomatoes, held his hand and squeezed it lightly, reached out into his pocket for a candy and stuffed it into his palm.

“No need.”

The young man turned his back to the light, as if he had just digested the word completely, and patted his palm in the middle of the desk through a piece of candy, the corners of his mouth were softened by the sunlight, “My family member, when you look up, you will see where you belong.”

Jin Linkun felt that it was wrong for Yu Sheng to always say that he was flirtatious.

Obviously, every time his kid teases him, it almost takes away half of his life.

Fortunately, the two of them sat close to the window, and everyone chatted lively, all the way until his heartbeat slowed, no one noticed.

Their palms overlapped, and no one wanted to pull away first, which softened the hard toffee candy a lot.

When Jin Linkun was thinking about whether the toffee would stick to his hands when the toffee melted, the sports committee bumped into him and knocked on the corner of Sheng’s table: “Sheng-ge, it’s like this, everyone is discussing your opening ceremony What to wear when holding the sign…”

Propositions were sent one after another, and the Sports Committee was forcibly kidnapped by a group of people with the theory of “Is there a difference between dying once and dying twice”, and the minority obeyed the majority and was thrown out again.

The sports committee came here with eyes closed, and after stuttering and asking questions, he felt that the atmosphere in the small area by the window was a bit wrong.

He opened his mouth and looked at the two people in front of him: “Sheng, Sheng-ge, you—”

“It’s okay.” Jin Linkun took out the candy calmly, peeled off the wrapper and put it in his mouth, “He is going for the javelin, we are practising grip strength.”

Reasonable and well-founded, the sports committee believed it.

There are not so many requirements for the sports meeting in No. 3 high school. Just to make the photos of the opening ceremony more magnificent, they are required to wear school uniforms when walking in the queue, except for holding signs. The school does not impose uniform restrictions on what they like to wear for the next four days.

As the only part that can show the personality of each class, what clothes the students holding the placards wear becomes extremely important.

“It’s better to be bright, unique, and unconventional.”

With a pen in his mouth, the class monitor pondered and put forward a suggestion: “It can reflect the lively, enthusiastic and sunny side of high school students.”

The students in class seven were silent, staring at him with complicated emotions and remaining silent.

“Although I think I might die, I still want to ask a question.” Yao Qiang raised his hand tremblingly, “class monitor, do you know that the one holding the sign in our class is Sheng-ge?”

The class monitor was very happy: “I know.”

This person is so crazy, Yao Qiang couldn’t bear to look at him: “Do you think, from your previous sentences, the possibility of ‘Sheng-ge xxx’ is high?”

“…”

The class monitor trembled under Yu Sheng’s cold gaze, straightened up, and quickly changed the page of the guide: “It reflects the chic, cold, magnanimous side of high school students who don’t kill people…”

Jin Linkun took the piece of candy in his mouth, chewed it twice, his thoughts stopped on the previous set of adjectives, and a picture that had passed for a long time suddenly appeared in his mind.

He was still copying the bib number in his hand, and happened to be writing the name of his child, carefully wrote the word “Yu Sheng” stroke by stroke, and subconsciously said: “I think-“

The eyes of the students in class 7 lit up one after another, and they all looked over.

Under the earnest gaze of the whole class, their substitute English teacher coughed lightly, raised the pen in his hand, and met Yu Sheng’s cold and murderous gaze: “I think… sportswear is very suitable.”
