Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 68

Gu Jialing sighed deeply. He didn’t like training, but he didn’t like being alone either.

At that point in time, there were sports special students from each class of the three grades gathered on the playground, as well as some ordinary students participating in the competition.

Before stepping into the playground, Xie Jingyuan walked under a tree and whispered to the three demons, “We can win the competition, but we can’t surpass the second place too much. The training is also to cover up our special physique.”

There were all kinds of geniuses among human beings, but geniuses also needed daily hard work.

A top student needed to acquire knowledge by self-study or listening to lectures. Athletes also needed persistent training to be far ahead. Talent was just getting twice the result with half the effort. A person who had talent but did not put in any effort would never be able to achieve results in any field, including their current physique, which was also the result of absorbing spiritual energy to make their bodies better.

Cultivation was a secret, if they usually just studied, but suddenly became a blockbuster in the competition, and easily beat the top sports students selected from thousands of people in this city, it may cause some unnecessary doubts.

Xu Shou nodded, “Taoist Master, you are right.”

Gu Jialing: “Be low-key, I understand.”

Su Miaomiao didn’t want to think about any rationale, she just followed what the Taoist master said.

Xie Jingyuan: “Let’s go.”

The four of them ran in circles along the playground at a relatively normal speed.

Song Yang was also on the playground. His specialty was track and field.

Sports special students had to train every day. At that time, Song Yang had just finished his long-distance running and was sitting on the side of the long jump field to rest, surrounded by a few followers.

There were street lights around the playground, even though the brightness was limited in the dark, when Su Miaomiao ran over with Xie Jingyuan and the others, Song Yang recognized her at a glance.

He jumped up excitedly.

In the past, he thought that the love reaction of the heart beating fast would happen only to  a fool. It was not until he met Su Miaomiao that Song Yang realized that he could really get excited when he saw her.

Telling the followers to stay where they were, Song Yang rubbed his hands, trotted over, and greeted Xie Jingyuan enthusiastically, “Brother, you also want to participate in this sports meeting?”

Xie Jingyuan glanced at him lightly.

Xu Shou approached Song Yang, and said coldly, “Go aside, don’t disturb us.”

Seeing Xu Shou, Song Yang remembered the embarrassing scene of Zheng Ge being thrown into the green trees. He smiled awkwardly, turned around in seconds, but didn’t say a word of nonsense.

Without even being able to catch up with Su Miaomiao, Song Yang returned to his followers in despair.

Follower A: “From those three, Xu Shou is the best in terms of body shape. I heard that they are from the toppers class. There is really no one we can choose among the two.”

Follower B: “Why did Miaomiao come to train with them?”

Song Yang: “Miaomiao is something you can call her by?”

Follower B: “I was wrong, I should call her little flower.”  (campus belle)

Song Yang looked sourly at Su Miaomiao obediently following Xie Jingyuan’s figure. She was obedient in appearance and personality. If Su Miaomiao fell in love with him, she would definitely listen to him, right?

Love was the driving force, Song Yang continued to train, he was determined to perform well in front of Su Miaomiao. He deliberately ran fast, and surpassed them like a gust of wind.

 Gu Jialing: “This kid, is he provoking us?”

He was going to speed up, but Xu Shou grabbed him in time, remembering the Taoist master’s instruction to keep a low profile.

Gu Jialing had no choice but to run slowly.

After the training was over, the four of them went to the classroom to get their bags. When they walked out of the teaching building, they happened to meet Song Yang and the others coming back from training.

Song Yang saw the school bag that Xie Jingyuan was carrying for Su Miaomiao at a glance.

He got sour again. As long as Su Miaomiao was willing to be his girlfriend, let alone carrying her school bag, he would be happy to carry her to and from school.

On October 21st, No. 1 High School’s current autumn sports meeting officially started.

The students of the three grades all moved their benches to the playground, and each class occupied a space.

Xie Jingyuan, Su Miaomiao and other athletes set up their benches and went to the first-year athletes’ place to gather.

“Miaomiao!” 

“Miaomiao!”

When they passed by, Feng Xiaoyu and Cheng Yue, the two good friends, stood up excitedly and cheered for her.

High school studies were too heavy. Because the teacher delayed the class and other reasons, the time each class ended was different. Soon after the start of school, Feng Xiaoyu, Cheng Yue, Zhou Yao, and Lin Xi no longer deliberately waited for each other to eat in the cafeteria. They ate together with the new classmates in the class. Even on weekends, the contact got less, they only waved and greeted each other when they met in school.

Most students went through the process, and some even met a new best friend in elementary school, middle school, high school, and college.

Su Miaomiao looked over to where Feng Xiaoyu and Cheng Yue were, but unfortunately there were too many people and she couldn’t see anyone clearly.

After the opening ceremony, the competitions would start everywhere.

Some students seized the time to take out the test papers to do the questions, and some called their friends to go to the competition venue to watch.

The Qingxu four-member team all had track and field events, so they came there to prepare together.

The competition started with the first graders, and the boys 100-meter sprint.

Gu Jialing’s tracksuit had the number “9” on it, and everyone lined up. He looked at the female students around him and raised his hand to brush his hair.

Girls: “So handsome!”

Su Miaomiao: “…”

She approached Xie Jingyuan and said, “Why didn’t you apply for the 100-meter sprint?” It was best to suppress Gu Jialing in all four.
