Those naive and tender years of youth sports prelude

  As the days go by, with the changing of the seasons, the yellowing and greening of leaves, the blooming and withering of flowers, the coming and going of vehicles, the rolling and stretching of white clouds, time is rapidly rushing down from the sky, leaving past events far behind in the long river of history. Those heart-wrenching years have already become a handful of sedimentary ash at the bottom of the riverbed. No one cares about sorrow or autumnal feelings; their sharp eyes are fixed on the rise and fall of stocks and the development of urban productive forces, gathering together those thin powers to form a huge snowball that presses down on the city's footsteps. The height of skyscrapers is a manifestation of a city's level of development. Located at the easternmost edge of the continent, gazing out at the boundless blue sea in the distance, and plotting another surpassing leap forward.

  In that crisp and refreshing autumn season, all the things that had been silent throughout the scorching summer were now bursting with energy in every corner of the city. The students at N City No. 2 Middle School were particularly lively and restless, especially the boys who had just entered puberty and possessed boundless vitality. They seized every opportunity to show off in front of the girls, commenting on which girl was the prettiest, and their bodies began to undergo rapid changes - their faces broke out with acne at night, and they started paying attention to their hairstyles and clothing. They engaged in intense physical exercise, sweating profusely in front of the girls they liked, but also became prone to violent outbursts due to the onset of adolescence. The small alley behind the school often witnessed groups of boys fighting, with teachers intervening repeatedly. The air was filled with the pungent smell of adolescent hormones, and relationships between boys and girls began to take on a special, mysterious, and sensitive quality. Some girls would accidentally discover a heart-shaped note in their books, and their faces would flush bright red like the clouds at sunset. With trembling hearts, they would carefully open the note, revealing the confused and innocent thoughts of adolescence...

  In N City Second Middle School, the principal, who wore glasses with thick lenses like beer bottle bottoms, seemed to have read the minds of the young boys and girls. He organized a grand sports meeting on an unprecedented scale, calling it "Let our dreams fly high, let my youth shine!" The event was as melodramatic as hosting a schoolyard concert, and the school even selected some good-looking female students to be cheerleaders. They invited N City Mayor, Zong Hongqin, who is also the father of Zong Zhongyan. It's worth mentioning that the school had such great face because Zong Zhongyan had been persuading his father with both emotions and reason. In the end, his father couldn't bear to refuse his son's enthusiastic invitation and attended the grand event at Second Middle School. Other attendees included N University President Lu Lianjun and Hua Du Group Chairman Peng Qingyun, who is also the father of Peng Size. Even the popular singer Lv Man was invited to perform the opening song. All this attention made the students of Second Middle School wide-eyed with wonder. These glamorous people, who were once so far away from them, suddenly appeared at their school, and how could they not be amazed? So, the young boys and girls worked hard to achieve great results, each one bursting with energy on the sports field.

  Tian Tian didn't have any sports cells, and when the teacher asked about their participation in sports events, she remained silent, listlessly twirling her pen on her hand. At this time, she had just entered junior high school, without much excitement or disappointment, nor did she have the mind to observe the people around her. Sometimes she felt that she was too mature, lacking the enthusiasm of other teenagers, and lacked a certain curiosity about things. However, the chatty boy next to her made her feel a strange sense of annoyance. This boy was her new classmate, Yao Le Tong, who had signed up for at least three events in this sports meeting. At this moment, he was still wildly waving his hand and shouting: "I want to sign up for the relay! Relay! Relay!"

  Tian Tian frowned and said: "If you shout again, I'll knock out your front teeth."

  Yao Le Tong made a big show of flexing, leaning on the table and exaggerating his mouth, saying "Beautiful woman, aren't you going to report on this project? Ah, I heard that popular female star Lu Mang is coming, I have to make a good impression! Who knows, she might take a liking to me, haha..." As he spoke, he clenched his fist and stretched out his arm in front of Tian Tian, showing off his well-developed muscles, which were actually just a little bit.

  Tian Tian said calmly, "As far as I know, she's already 23 years old now, and you're only 13. She won't look at a young friend like you who hasn't fully developed and has acne on his face. Besides, she just came to sing the opening song and left after finishing, so she didn't even see your glorious moment of winning the championship."

  When Tian Tianyi said that, he was suddenly very disappointed, but soon laughed again, "Haha, I heard there's a cheerleading squad composed of beauties!" He suddenly leaned in close to Tian Tian and whispered, "You know? That son of the Hua Du Mall owner, Peng Sizhe, is looking for a girlfriend."

  "What does it have to do with me?" Tian Tian said.

  "That girl is still in our class," said Yao Letong, puckering up her mouth and glancing sideways at the third row.

  Tian Tian looked back and saw a girl with long hair, not very outstanding in appearance, but her facial features were arranged together to look elegant and refined. She was talking to the front desk, occasionally smiling, and when her eyes smiled, they curved into a beautiful arc, looking warm. "Not bad," she muttered to herself.

  "Just started junior high and already dating, how avant-garde!" Yao Le Tong smacked her lips, "Hey, do you have a boyfriend?"

  "No," Tian Tian said.

  "You're so pretty, how come you don't have a boyfriend? There must be many people chasing after you, I've seen love letters on your desk before. Tell me, which boy gave it to you! Is he handsome?" Yao Letong asked curiously.

  "Are you annoyed?" Tian Tian held her pen in her hand, with a rhythm that made her want to poke Yao Le Tong's eyes, and she closed her mouth with a sullen expression.

  "Tian Tian?" The class teacher pushed his glasses and suddenly looked at Tian Tian, "Why haven't you signed up for any projects? This is not only a chance to show off, but also a crucial moment to win honors for the class. You can't fall behind."

  "I don't have sports cells, so let's not drag our class down anymore."

  "No, no, this time's sports meeting, everyone must participate. As the saying goes, it's the participation that matters. Let's not say for the sake of socialism, but even if it's just for the class revolution, we've got to give our all and shed blood. Besides, even if our class can't get the first prize, we should at least get the second place title. You think so, right?"

  Tian Tian weakly sighed and said, "Then let's kick a shuttlecock."

  "The athletes for the shuttlecock event are already full, only one spot is left for the relay race, you can participate in the relay race then." With that, Teacher Hu heavily wrote down Tian Tian's name on the roster.

  Tian Tian fainted on the desk with a black line, weakly throwing her pen aside. Now she wanted Yao Le Tong to poke her into a cripple.

  Digression

  Still nobody watching? So sad.
