Rebirth and daily cultivation

Studying by myself in the evening, the clouds are thick and low, and the stars and moon are not visible.

In the classroom of Class 8, the lights are brightly lit and people are noisy.

"It's decided, November 2, next Sunday, our city's half marathon will start!"

"Oh my god, this bonus is awesome!"

"Quickly count, count!"

Zhang Chi heard the noise coming from the Four Seats, and quickly ran over to watch. He stretched his head and asked, "How much is the bonus?"

"Six sixes!" Wang Longlong said.

"Six sixes..." Zhang Chi quickly calculated in his mind and exclaimed, "660,000?"

"The championship reward is RMB 660,000." Wang Longlong admired him, "That's awesome. In an ordinary marathon, let alone a half marathon, even a full marathon, the prize money is far worse than this!"

For example, the marathon in Pengcheng is so developed, but the prize money is only about 100,000.

Zhang Chi breathed uncontrollably heavy when he heard this bonus figure, 660,000 yuan. Even if he spent 1,000 yuan a day, it would be enough for him to live happily for two years!

Zhang Chi looked at Shan Kaiquan: "Have you signed up?"

"I signed up early and paid 100 yuan." If he hadn't paid in advance, after Lan Zichen's incident, if he wanted to sign up again, he wouldn't even be able to get 100 yuan.

Shan Kaiquan looked at Zhang Chi's eyes widening when he saw the money, and said with a smile: "There are a total of 5,000 places, and they have been snatched up long ago."

Zhang Chi was extremely disappointed for a moment.

Not only the championship bonus is 660,000 yuan, but as long as you enter the top 100, you will get a bonus of 1,000 yuan.

1,000 yuan is more than his living expenses for two months.

"Damn it, I should have known I had signed up in the first place!" Zhang Chi cursed. At that time, he was not willing to give up 100 yuan.

Seeing that he was furious, Shan Kaiquan continued to add fuel to the fire:

"The registration fee is one hundred yuan, and they also give you T-shirts, Nike brand, worth at least dozens of yuan, and a timing chip with your name engraved on it. All kinds of drinks, chocolates, fruits, whatever you want to eat along the way, you can definitely sign up. Not a loss."

"Oh, by the way, if you complete the competition successfully and get a medal, that thing can be sold for money."

Shan Kaiquan's words made Zhang Chi regretful.

Wang Longlong suddenly said: "Don't worry, Chizi, there are only 5,000 places released now. At 10 o'clock tonight, there will be 5,000 places left. Then you can draw lots online."

Zhang Chi's eyes shone: "Thank you, Brother Long, please send me the website for the lottery."

Shan Kaiquan shook his head secretly. When Changqingye didn't announce the bonus before, the quota was quite loose. Now that the bonus amount is announced, everyone knows that the competition is absolutely fierce and winning is as difficult as buying a Xiaomi mobile phone.

"It's gone." Shan Kaiquan tied up his shoelaces and prepared to go for a run on the playground. He had been exercising for almost a year, but now that he hadn't practiced for a day, he felt uncomfortable all over his body.

Just as he was going out, at the back door of the classroom, a male classmate who was usually taciturn spoke to him: "Shan Kaiquan, can you take me for a run?"

Shan Kaiquan turned around in shock and found that it was Miao Zhe.

Miao Zhe usually doesn't have a strong sense of presence and is not in the same circle as them. When school first started, Shan Kaiquan was scratched by him for trivial matters. At that time, he went to Ma Ge behind his back and said that Miao Zhe was not good.

Now a year has passed, and the relationship between the two has always been normal.

But Shan Kaiquan is no longer the same person as before. Exercise has made him open-minded and he has grown a lot: "Sure, if you want to run, just follow me."

"Okay." Miao Zhe stood up. He was short and very thin.

Two classmates who were not very familiar with each other left the classroom together and came to the wide square below. They were silent with each other. Shan Kaiquan felt that the atmosphere was slightly awkward, so he took the initiative to find a topic:

"Why do you want to run?"

Miao Zhe: "I plan to exercise."

"Oh, okay." Shan Kaiquan said nothing.

Miao Zhe was still speechless. He and his netizen Yun Ni had been dating online for a year and kept chatting frequently every day. It seemed that they had endless things to say. Their views were completely consistent.

That day, Yun Ni asked him when they would meet, and Miao Zhe suddenly panicked.

He wasn't ready for another person to appear in his life.

Yun Ni asked him again, do you plan to chat with me online like this for the rest of your life?

These words completely broke Miao Zhe's psychological defense. In his dreams, he wanted to touch Yun Ni and feel her warmth.

For Miao Zhe, whose parents divorced when he was young and who was often bullied by his classmates because of his thin stature, she was the only person in the world who understood him.

He had touched Yunni countless times in his dreams, but when he woke up, it was just a dream, and he was at a loss.

At this time, Miao Zhe knew that he had to accept reality and return to reality. Only in this way could he embrace Yun Ni.

He still remembered the perfect boyfriend Yun Nixiang had described.

But in reality, Miao Zhe is very ordinary, so he wants to change himself.

His skin was not good, so he turned to Lu Qiqi, who was good at cosmetics, and learned skin care from her.

Skin care alone was not enough, so he took the second step and exercised.

One day, he will stand upright in front of Yun Ni and tell her loudly, 'I, Miao Zhe, am the one you love! ’

Walking to the door of the fitness room, Shan Kaiquan couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere and asked again:

"You want to get stronger?"

Miao Zhe said: "Yes."

"Then I suggest you stop running and do more anaerobic exercise." Shan Kaiquan said, "Isn't our school's fitness room open? I just learned the tutorial the day before yesterday. Come on, let's give it a try."

The two came to the fitness room and chose the Smith frame. Shan Kaiquan installed 5kg barbells on each side.

He explained: "It will be much easier to do bench press with this equipment because the route is fixed."

"Let's warm up first." He did some stretching.

Then he lay down on the flat stool and pushed 15 times in one breath.

After Shan Kaiquan finished: "It's your turn."

A boy next to me said: "It's not interesting to do bench press with Smith frame. If you want to have fun, just do free bench press."

Shan Kaiquan ignored him. The man looked bored and left unhappily.

It was very difficult for Miao Zhe to bench press, so Shan Kaiquan had to remove the barbell and let him push the empty bar.

After a set of pushing, Shan Kaiquan took a break and said, "How are you? Do you feel your arms and chest muscles?"

Miao Zhe: "Indeed."

"In the future, the harder you push, the more developed your muscles will be, and you will be able to practice to the point where you can look thinner when wearing clothes, and gain weight when undressing." Shan Kaiquan talked about theoretical knowledge.

After doing two more sets, the atmosphere became lively. Shan Kaiquan was curious: "Why do you suddenly want to exercise? Could it be that you were stimulated by dating?"

The reason why Shan Kaiquan asked this was because he was stimulated by girls, so he chose to exercise and numb himself.

Before Miao Zhe could reply, Shan Kaiquan shook his head: "It's not like that. I've never seen you in contact with girls."

Miao Zhe naturally doesn't talk about online dating.

Although the reliability of online dating has always been attributed to the reliability of the person opposite, in this era, it is indeed easy to be laughed at if you talk about online dating.

It is easy for people to have the stereotype that this person cannot find a partner in reality and is forced to find one online.

Miao Zhe replied: "I just want to exercise."

"Hahaha, I thought you were dating online!" Shan Kaiquan laughed.

Miao Zhe had no expression on his face, but he was surprised in his heart that he had guessed it.

Although Miao Zhe was embarrassed to talk about online dating, deep down in his heart, he also longed for the approval of others.

However, when talking about online dating, Shan Kaiquan couldn't help but think of the ambiguous past between Brother Nan and the tea seller. He shook his head: "Online dating is unreliable. You never know whether the other person is a human or a ghost."

"Really, am I right?"

Miao Zhe's mentality was a little weak and he couldn't refute it, so he could only pretend to agree.

Shan Kaiquan thought of Brother Nan's miserable situation: "Online dating, even dogs don't talk about it! You think so, Zhezi?"

Miao Zhe's head hurts: '...I just want to keep fit, do you have to force me to curse myself? ’

…

Building No. 3, in the east corridor on the second floor, several people are blowing the wind.

Lin Zida leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, cheerfully saying: "Next month's marathon championship prize will be 660,000 yuan, which is really amazing. By then, top runners from all over the world will probably fly over."

Zhuang Jianhui: "I get very annoyed when I see those black things."

Lin Zida: "There is nothing I can do. People are born to be able to run. We can't compare with them for the time being."

The world's sprint and long-distance champions are almost exclusively monopolized by people of other skin colors.

Li Shi covered her mouth and yawned: "I heard that there will be traffic control. It will be troublesome to go out to play then. I don't know what the meaning of this activity is."

Lin Zida said: "This is just an appearance. In fact, in a large-scale competition like this, many runners are runners from out of town, which is equivalent to thousands of tourists. It still has many benefits for the economic development of Yuzhou, not to mention the follow-up The reputation has fermented.”

Jiang Ning stood in front of the corridor and listened to the chat of several people.

Li Shi said a few words and then moved her gaze. Jiang Jing stood there quietly, her profile as straight as a pine tree. It gave her a strange feeling, as if she was isolated from the world, but also connected to everything, wandering between boundaries, it was strange. Unfathomable.

Li Shi's eyes are straightforward, without any shyness like other girls. This is due to her billions of family assets and her status as an only daughter, which gives her confidence.

"Hey, Jiang Ning, don't you want to participate in the marathon? The bonus is 660,000 yuan?" Li Shi said with some guidance.

"Too lazy to go."

"I remember your sports scores were pretty good, maybe you could win a prize." Li Shi seemed to be thinking about him.

But Jiang Ning always faced the dark playground in the distance without even looking at her, which made her feel quite unhappy, as if she was something he couldn't touch.

Jiang Ning replied: "General."

Li Shi felt angry for no reason when she heard that he cherished his words like gold and ignored him.

The twins appeared at the corner, calling: "Jiang Ning, come on, come on!"

After Jiang Ning left with the twins, Li Shicai said:

"What's so great about it, you see him pulling it?"

"I kindly reminded him of the way to make a fortune, but he wasn't happy about it."

Lin Zida: "Okay, just say a few words less."

"Oh, he is self-aware and knows that his little strength is nothing compared to other professional marathon runners." Li Shi laughed again.

Lin Zida thought to himself: "Here you just pointed out to others just to attack them?" ’

…

After school, Heba.

The light of the battery car passed through the diffuse light fog and headed further into the night sky.

"You play games in my room while I go out." Jiang Ning explained.

The starting point of the half marathon was the gymnasium, and he passed through Huqi Mountain and Qingyu Lake on the way. He went to check the formation to make sure there was nothing missing.

Seeing him running around again, Xue Yuantong let out a dissatisfied "cut" sound.

But he didn't say anything to persuade him to stay. Anyway, Xue Yuantong would wait for him to come home.

"We will go to the marathon next week to cheer for Yang Sheng!" Mentioning this, Xue Yuantong looked forward to, "Can we also eat whatever we want like the contestants?"

She heard from Bai Yuxia that there are replenishment stations along the marathon route, often with drinks, chocolates, fruits, and other energy-supplementing foods... Eat as much as you want!

Jiang Ning told her: "We are the audience and cannot eat."

Xue Yuantong's energy suddenly weakened, and his face looked sick, "Okay."

Suddenly I didn’t want to cheer for Yang Sheng.

Jiang Ning added: "But..."

Hearing the turning point, Xue Yuantong's eyes lit up. The fatigue and sleepiness after sleeping for a day disappeared without a trace, and he was refreshed:

"Um?"

"I'll apply for a volunteer identity card, and I can eat like a contestant," Jiang Ning said.

He thought about it and asked Shao Shuangshuang to find a unique food supply point.

"Okay, okay!" Xue Yuantong leaned close, as if she wanted to rub her smile on his clothes.

‘Yang Sheng, I, Tongtong, will definitely not be absent from your game! ’

…

When Jiang Ning was away, Xue Yuantong called Chu Chu to come to his room to have fun.

Xue Yuantong found a new two-player game, a horizontal version of Mario. She and Chu Chu cooperated to jump all the way through the levels.

While playing heartily, the light in the room suddenly flickered and then dimmed.

Xue Yuantong was startled, and said worriedly: "It's over, it's over, there's a power outage, what should I do? Jiang Ning hasn't come back to take a shower yet!"

Xue Chuchu silently stretched out her green-white fingers and gestured to the bright display screen in front of her.

"Oh~" Xue Yuantong suddenly realized, she raised her little head, "It turns out that the light bulb is broken."

After Jiang Ning moved into her house, she added a lot of equipment, but she didn't replace the lamp above her head. The energy-saving lamp was old, so it was normal for it to break.

Xue Yuantong took advantage of the light effects of the screen and ambient lights to pull out a brand new packaging box from the drawer.

This is a new lamp Jiang Ning bought before, but because the old one was not broken, he never installed it.

"Chu Chu, let's install the light bulbs!" Xue Yuantong suggested.

She wanted to help Jiang Ning fix the light bulb before he returned home so as not to cause him any trouble.

Xue Chuchu nodded softly: "Okay."

Xue Yuantong unpacked the package and put the light bulb on the table. She ran out again and moved a wooden chair and a small square stool.

"Don't forget the switch." Chu Chu reminded.

Xue Yuantong turned off all the electric switches and made sure that the entire house was powered off. Then he used the light of Chu Chukai's mobile phone flashlight to get into the house.

She piled the small square stool onto the wooden chair and took a deep breath: "Chu Chu, I'm on."

"Come on!" Xue Chuchu cheered her on.

Xue Yuantong clenched her little hands. She had never changed a light bulb before and was afraid of being electrocuted.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her inner nervousness, took off her shoes, lifted her feet, and stepped on the chair with her little white socks.

Finally, she stood still on the chair. The next step was the small square stool above. Her little white socks stepped on the small stool and she felt a tremor:

"It's shaking so much. The stool is not stable."

Xue Chuchu: "You are shaking yourself."

Xue Yuantong: "Oh."

She stepped firmly on the small square stool with one foot and said, "Chu Chu, don't stop me, I'm going on."

Xue Chuchu: "Okay, I'm far away."

"Come closer."

Xue Yuantong gritted her teeth and stepped on the small square stool with both little white socks. However, she was too cowardly to straighten her back.

She unscrewed the light bulb tremblingly and quickly fell off the square stool.

Seeing this, Xue Chuchu took the initiative and said, "I'll install the new light bulb."

"The light bulb is still warm." Xue Yuantong touched the light bulb, "Chu Chu, wait a minute, I'll be back soon."

A minute later, Xue Yuantong appeared in the room holding a wooden stick.

Seeing this scene, Xue Chuchu raised her eyebrows slightly, showing doubts.

Xue Yuantong waved the wooden stick twice and promised: "Chu Chu, don't worry about installing the light bulb. If you get an electric shock, I will knock it off with a stick!"
