The Strongest God

Xu Ce said: It's okay.

Although he said this, Xu Ce still felt very strenuous in the long-distance running in the afternoon. According to his usual level, he would have no problem winning first place. But today, his condition was not the best. He felt that his leg muscles were a little stiff from the beginning. .

On the sports field under the scorching sun, Xu Ce was sweating like rain. In front of him was the crimson track and field track, and in his ears was the deafening sound of cheering... In the 10,000-meter long-distance running, you need to pay attention to the distribution of endurance. The further you go, the more tired you will be, so start You must not fight hard when you are in the middle, and you must save your strength for the final sprint.

Xu Ce maintained an even speed and slowly ran down the circle. Many people couldn't hold on and started to fall behind. Xu Ce still gritted his teeth and ran in the first echelon...

Time gradually passed, and more and more people were left behind. After 8,000 meters, Xu Ce felt as if his feet were filled with lead. Every step he took was very hard, and the air in his chest seemed to be sucked out. , the scorching sun above your head makes your whole body hot, and your throat is about to smoke...

Many classmates from the class came to the sports field to accompany and cheer for their friends. Xu Ce has never been popular, and he never expected anyone to come to cheer him on. He just saw that all the players around him had friends to accompany him. Running, he felt faintly envious in his heart...

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in my ears: Come on, Xu Ce.

The voice had the unique softness of a young man. Xu Ce turned around and looked into Jiang Shaoqing's clear eyes. Those eyes were full of encouragement: Come on, there are still a few laps to go, I'll run with you.

... Xu Ce nodded.

So, Jiang Shaoqing slowly started running with Xu Ce beside the runway.

You don’t need to run too fast to run a 10,000-meter long distance, so Jiang Shaoqing can keep up with Xu Ce even if his athletic performance is average. The two of them jog forward side by side. The finish line is still out of reach, but Xu Ce feels very motivated!

Growing up, he had never had many friends and was used to being alone, but at that moment, he discovered that it felt so good to be accompanied by someone.

He even had a strange idea——

If this runway never ends, Jiang Shaoqing, will you run with me for the rest of your life?

The 10,000-meter long-distance race finally ended. Xu Ce suddenly burst out with all his strength in the final sprint stage, surpassing three runners in a row and winning the first place in the men's group!

The moment he crossed the finish line first, hearing the deafening cheers in his ears, Xu Ce immediately turned back to look at Jiang Shaoqing. Jiang Shaoqing had been left far behind by him who was sprinting hard, but he still slowly walked forward. I was running forward, and when I saw him taking first place, a smile appeared on his face.

After the long run, he couldn't stop immediately. Xu Ce adjusted his breathing, slowed down and continued to run a few steps forward. Jiang Shaoqing also quickly caught up and said: You are the first, great! As he spoke, he handed him a bottle of water. I just bought it for you. You must be thirsty.

Xu Ce took the water bottle, unscrewed the cap, and drank half of the bottle.

Jiang Shaoqing hurriedly said: Drink slowly...

Not only did Xu Ce not slow down, he simply drank up the bottle of water in one breath. Jiang Shaoqing looked at him speechlessly. Xu Ce licked his lips and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, which was obviously ordinary. A bottle of mineral water, but when you drink it, there is an inexplicable sweet taste in your heart.

——That was the first time he smiled at the classmates around him since he left home to study in high school elsewhere.

At that time, Xu Ce was still young and had no idea what this feeling meant. He just suddenly felt that Jiang Shaoqing's smile was beautiful and he liked it very much. He impulsively wanted to hold this person's hand. Hands, but because there were too many classmates around, he had to hold back.

Later, when they entered the second year of high school together, the courses became more and more demanding. There were many topics that Jiang Shaoqing didn't know how to do. Xu Ce also patiently explained them to him, and the relationship between the two of them seemed to be more like friends.

Xu Ce's parents were preparing to immigrate abroad at that time. He stayed at his uncle's house to study. He walked home by himself every morning and evening, and he happened to be with Jiang Shaoqing.

The two of them walked side by side as a habit when they came home from school. Xu Ce was not very good at talking, and Jiang Shaoqing was not a talkative person either. The two of them were silent most of the time, but Xu Ce always remembered the journey from school to home. That stretch of road - the wide streets, the warm yellow street lights, the small shops selling barbecue on the street, and the people who accompanied him, that scene became the clearest part of his high school memory.

Xu Ce was actually very rebellious when he was young. He was sent to study in the city where his uncle's home was located. He was full of hostility to everything around him, as if he was a wild animal that was forced to leave his territory. He disliked everyone. But only Jiang Shaoqing made him feel comfortable and at ease...

That stupid classmate who always bites the pen holder and can't do the questions. The classmate who defends him seriously in front of his classmates. The classmate who accompanies him to run the last part of the way when he is so tired that he is about to lose strength. Every night after school When he goes home, his deskmate will be waiting for him at the door of the classroom...

During the three years of high school, Jiang Shaoqing became the person in Xu Ce's heart.
