Chapter 32: Beggars' Gang VS Mourning Dress Gang

  The law competition won, happy, but the earth rotates, days pass by, every week's piano practice, dance practice, and law firm internship continue as usual, and weekends are of course inseparable from Tai Chi.

  It's only Tuesday, but the class teacher has informed us that everyone will be going to the stadium this weekend. Apparently, there are leaders from the province coming for an inspection, and schools not only need to prepare programs but also send athletes to compete. Our principal is proud of his foresight, I heard that this inspection was a sudden decision, so there isn't much time to prepare for the program. The main event of our school is Tai Chi, after all, other things like dancing or playing musical instruments seem a bit out of place in a sports meeting.

  But since our school has a large number of students, it's impossible for everyone to participate, only the elite can join. After school, there might be a big lottery draw, and those who are selected will have to undergo intensive training to strive for even better results.

  Some people were very happy when they heard the news from the teacher. Anyway, on weekends at home, dads and moms would also supervise them to do their homework. Some people, on the other hand, were unhappy and complained that school occupied our weekend time, disrupting their original plans. Of course, everything has its pros and cons, and it's natural that there is less homework on weekends.

  After school, we all gathered on the playground, and a physical education teacher was in charge of several classes. As the music started, the students began to play Tai Chi together. Most of my classmates were very serious and used their own strength to compete for the performance quota. I didn't want to go up, just watching from the side is also a kind of participation, after all, the quota is limited, and this thing happened in my previous life too, I wasn't selected either, let things repeat again, it's nothing, at that time our school was also at odds with another school, it can be said to be truly exciting.

  Thoughts determine actions, and indeed after one round of selection was over, the physical education teacher started picking people. Our class picked Xuan Yuanrui, Wu Hanwen, Mu Luoyu, Chen Tianyu, four people in total. I wasn't selected, ah! Xuan Yuanrui looked at me with questioning eyes, but I calmly looked back at him, seemingly saying "there's nothing you can do about it", a bit mischievous.

  Suddenly, a female physical education teacher walked over from the side and said: "How come they're all boys? Our girls' team is still short of several people. Does this class have any suitable ones?"

  The PE teacher looked over at our side and pointed at me and Lin Lilai, saying: "These two should be okay." "Then let's go with these two." Eh yo, as soon as the female PE teacher finished speaking, Lin Lilai's face lit up with joy, it was truly a radiant smile, making the surrounding girls all envy. I turned my head to look at Xuan Yuanrui, his face also cleared up. As for the sports meet quota, our class had already secured spots in the previous sports meet, and Xiao Xiao still had a spot in the women's relay race.

  After that, for several days after school, those of us who were selected had to attend special training. The special training was actually just further correcting our movements and adding a few more difficult ones. Xuan Yuan Rui even got chosen as the leader of the boys' formation, and there was one part where he had to dance with swords. He really did have some skills - he didn't need the teacher to teach him, he came up with his own moves on his own. He looked quite dashing too. The leader of our girls' formation was a girl named Luo Yu Ting, she was pretty impressive too.

  It's almost the weekend, early in the morning we arrived at the stadium according to the school's scheduled time, and found that many schools had come, I guess they all came, all wearing their school uniforms of course with performance attire underneath. Upon closer inspection, there were Beitian Primary School, Experimental Primary School, Longyu Primary School... The competition is quite fierce!

  Our school and Bei Tian Elementary School were standing on the south side, because they weren't from the same school, and had to compete against each other on the field. Everyone was looking at each other with some discomfort, and there was a hint of disdain in their eyes.

  At 8 o'clock, the opening ceremony began on time. First, the host invited the leaders of the province to give an opening speech. This sports meeting was different from others, and the hosts were not students. How come they looked so familiar? It turned out that it was the female host from Children's Channel.

  The leader gave a long speech about the concept of the sports meeting, saying that friendship comes first and competition second, which is what we always say. We responded with thunderous applause, of course, to show our warm welcome and enthusiasm. Hehe, actually, the boring speech finally ended, which was the main point.

  Then, the national flag team, drum team, color guard team, flower team, athletes, and others entered the stage. Next were the performances from each school.

  First up was the Experimental Primary School, which is considered one of the best primary schools in our area. Their performance was a gymnastics routine, and as far as the eye could see, it was all girls, all wearing brand new pink leotards that seemed to have been specially purchased for this sports day event. The tops were short-sleeved, and the bottoms barely reached their knees, making them look like they were wearing swimsuits from last summer. It must have been really cold for them, especially since it was autumn and early in the morning. The principal of Experimental Primary School really went all out to attract attention, sparing no expense, including spending a lot of money.

  A voice from the side of Beitian Elementary School came: "It turned out to be a group of flower girls, nothing to be afraid of. It seems that our school will stand out this time..."

  This made our school's people unhappy, don't know who said a sentence: "How dare you!"

  As expected, they are all just a bunch of kids. A boy from Beitian Elementary School immediately jumped out, seemingly the leader of his class, and said: "Whoever spoke so loudly earlier, if you have the guts, come out and say it to our faces. Hiding behind others and talking big is not heroic at all, you're just a coward."

  It's probably one of the joys of our childhood.

  It didn't take six years for someone to come out and echo, the students of the two schools were one word at a time, neither yielding, quarreling until they caught the attention of the relevant teachers. The teacher came over and asked what was going on, they naturally behaved very well, Liu Yi spoke up first: "Teacher, sorry, but nothing's wrong, just met an old neighbor who moved away and hadn't been in touch since, today we ran into each other and talked about kindergarten stuff, teasing each other and laughing, got too excited, forgot where we were, our voices got a bit loud, let's head back to class now."

  The people from Beitian Elementary School also echoed, Liu Yi is who, he is the class leader of our school's sixth grade class 1, and also a well-known student in our school for his good grades, athletic ability, and good relationships. Moreover, he is one of the promising students in our school who may enter the top three in the city, so teachers naturally believe him. However, even good students can lie, this point you must believe that Xuan Yuan Rui is not a representative of this? I thought to myself and only said be careful next time, hurry back to the team.

  After both teachers left, the leader of Beitian Elementary School sent a message: Let's see which school's program can get the special prize, and the loser will run around the stadium for ten laps. Oh my god, ten laps, one lap is 600 meters, isn't that cruel?

  After a while, the program of Beitian Primary School came on stage. They performed stick exercises, took off their school uniforms, and wore golden clothes, holding golden sticks, which looked quite eye-catching and impressive. However, it was estimated that they had temporary rehearsals, with great momentum but not very neat and coordinated, slightly chaotic. The leader's movements were inconsistent with those of the people behind him, which was their biggest weakness.

  After they came down, the leader looked at us with a high nose and said: "You think you're so good with your white clothes, but actually, you're just a funeral team. You're all dressed in white, it's really unlucky."

  Because our school is about to go on stage soon, we naturally didn't quarrel. In fact, which of us looks like a funeral team? Although we are all in white clothes, but we have red belts around our waists, very eye-catching.

  As we took the stage, the trumpet music reminded me of "Chinese Kung Fu": lying like a bow, standing like a pine tree, sitting still like a clock, walking with the wind... We started playing Tai Chi, especially like that, neither rushed nor slow, really having the meaning of using softness to overcome stiffness. Until later, when it came to "clear wind sword in hand, those double knives just walked away, master's kung fu as soon as they came out, you knew whether they had it or not", our movements naturally became faster, Xuan Yuan even danced with his sword as the leader, in short, we went from slow to fast and then from fast to slow, relaxed and rhythmic, very enjoyable to watch.

  Our next performance was also in perfect order, and after that, the people from Beitian Primary School didn't say anything else. That's right, we used our strength to explain everything, and they had no choice but to admit it. At most, they hoped to get a first prize and not lose too badly, and best of all, they could surpass our school on the sports meet stage. Without any suspense, our school's program won the special prize, and when the host announced our school's name, we were still excited and thrilled, and some people even jumped up!

  The creativity of Beitian Elementary School is still good, so they naturally won the first prize, which is still worth being happy about. However, some students are feeling down and need to be punished, haha, they also passed on a message saying that they would willingly accept defeat and fulfill their promise after the competition ends.

  Liu Yi didn't say anything, but judging from his calm and careless expression, I reckon he won't really make them run ten laps. At most, he'll let them run a few laps as punishment. After all, the boys are proud and will definitely not stop running just because their opponent says they don't have to. Who knows, maybe they'll even become friends afterwards.

  However, the beggar team vs the mourning dress team, the mourning dress team won completely, but I hope they say that our girls' formation is the fairy fluttering team, hehe, a little self-love.

  The subsequent sports events were also very exciting, our school's female students were energetic and refreshing, winning the first place in the women's 400-meter relay. The male students didn't show any weakness either, with good results in long-distance running, long jump, high jump and other events.
