Half a month later, the business at my family's store became better and better, and my mother was too busy to handle it alone, so she invited my aunt to come over. My aunt can also make clothes, and her home is in Nongke Village next to the town, which is very convenient for commuting. Coincidentally, there is also a sewing machine at home, so we moved the sewing machine to the store as well. As a result, my mother was at the store, my father was at school, and I and my second brother only returned home on weekends. Usually, no one was at home, and every day was like an empty city trick.
Our cheerleading team's practice is almost done, and the competition day has arrived. What's important is that we welcomed our first test, which is the monthly exam. After the monthly exam, it will be the basketball game. I remember when I came back half a month ago, Xiao Yang and Lu Qi seemed to have really become good friends, chatting and laughing all the way, just like good buddies. The upcoming basketball game will be their showdown, and I'm a bit worried but also looking forward to it - what will it be like for these two excellent boys to compete on the court? Because I've been busy with practice every day, I really haven't had time to watch their training, so I'm really looking forward to their performance!
The basketball game was held on Saturday morning, and it was a great way to relieve the stress of exams. The whole school was in high spirits, with students milling about on the playground, creating a lively atmosphere. The teacher in charge of the sound system had set up the equipment early, using an old but new sound system. Only second and third graders participated in the game, as first graders were not included due to their relatively short time at school.
The game is about to start. The host began to speak, who was the school's physical education teacher and also the chief referee of this competition. Then it was the principal's turn to speak, encouraging students to strive for their best performance and show their style. When the principal announced that the campus basketball competition was about to begin, there were cheers on the playground. Next, the host read out the rules of the game, introduced the teams and the order of appearance. Because we were only two classes competing, it was quite simple. First, the two classes of grade 7 started playing, during the half-time break, the two cheerleading squads from grade 2 performed their dance skills. We also did a performance during the half-time break in the grade 3 competition.
The exciting moment has finally arrived, the referee's whistle sounded, and the two teams walked onto the court. The classmates standing outside the court held their breath, staring at the court with wide eyes, afraid to miss any exciting moments. With the referee's command, the intense competition began. The team members went back and forth, fighting for that round and slippery basketball. Unexpectedly, the second-year boys played so fiercely! When a tall boy from Class 2(1) scored a two-pointer, the applause on the court was like thunder. This was the first goal of this game, and those who cheered the loudest must have been students from our class!
The classmates of Class 2, seeing this scene, were afraid that their teammates would have some ideas, and they also shouted loudly "Come on! Come on!" Indeed, they did not disappoint everyone's expectations. Next, Class 2 also scored a goal, and suddenly the students of Class 2 excitedly cheered "Hurray!" The game continued, and after twenty minutes, the score was 20 to 17, with a small gap between the two teams.
It's time for the halftime break, and it's also time for the second-grade cheerleading team to perform. I wonder what kind of dance they will come up with. I watched with great interest. The girls from Class 2(1) took the stage, and when I saw their outfits, I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Hehe, this is too outdated - white shirts and black pants.
Cui Wei said with a straight face, "Cloud, their clothes are also too ugly." I pointed and made a "psst" sound: "Let's see how they dance!" The music started, and the rhythm was pretty good, it seemed to be a disco dance song. Those girls began to twist and turn, but it was really pitiful, their movements were stiff and awkward, and they couldn't keep up with the beat. The surrounding classmates watched with relish, after all, this was the school's first-ever cheerleading performance, so it wasn't like they could expect much from them.
I looked around and found the principal frowning, well, he was a man who had seen the world, so this was nothing in his eyes. I smiled secretly, just wait until we go on stage and you'll see. "What are you laughing at?" A sudden voice startled me, and when I turned to look, Lu Qi was standing beside me with a smile on his face. I patted my heart and whispered: "Hateful, you scared me."
He suddenly looked worried: "Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to." I chuckled: "What's wrong? It looks like I bullied you or something. The competition is about to start, we need to do our best!" I patted his shoulder, "Hey, don't you think they're dancing well?" "Not good-looking." He didn't even raise an eyebrow, just smiled ambiguously at me.
"Are you not going to look at me like that when we go on stage later?" I pouted. "I'm only looking at you," he said with a flirtatious smile, confusing people again. "You're talking nonsense." My face turned red. But he really looked super handsome today, wearing a sky blue sleeveless jersey and shorts, which suited him perfectly, complementing his fair skin that didn't get tanned, making his exceptional good looks even more striking.
As for where this jersey came from, haha, of course it's my masterpiece, including our cheerleading uniforms. Such a great opportunity, how could I miss it? When I told the class teacher that my family opened a clothing store and can make our performance costumes, the teacher immediately agreed. So, in this competition, our class is bound to win, not only winning the game but also winning the attention of everyone. Just those dazzling clothes will attract everyone's attention! The more I think about it, the more beautiful it becomes, and I couldn't help but chuckle out loud.
"What are you laughing at again?" Lu Qi looked puzzled. "I'm not telling you." I stuck out my tongue and smiled mischievously. "She often gets lost in thought, I don't even know what's going on in her head," Cui Hui explained to Lu Qi, who was still confused. "Oh, getting lost in thought!" he suddenly understood. "Well, I won't disturb you then, I'll go over there." He pointed to where our classmates were gathering, and I nodded: "Go ahead, good luck!" I made a victory gesture with my hand. He turned back and smiled, also making a "good luck" gesture.
Here is the translation:
With this momentum, the cheerleading squad of Class 2 also took to the stage. This team, wearing red tops and blue pants, performed slightly better than the previous one. The second half of the game began. Since Class 2 was trailing by three points earlier, they launched a fierce attack as soon as they came on, scoring goal after goal, including two three-pointers. Class 2's students were ecstatic, waving their arms and legs wildly. However, Class 1 refused to give up, fighting back with all their might. That tall boy scored several goals in a row again, narrowing the gap bit by bit. By the end of the second half, the score was 51-49, with Class 1 winning by two points. The students of Class 1 were overjoyed, screaming and cheering nonstop.
