Chapter 129 Registration
Xu Cailing is very popular in the class. Because of her generous and cheerful personality, she is quite popular among both girls and boys.
After the class meeting, students who were not in a hurry to go home gathered around her desk.
But the real person, Xu Cailing, ran to Fang Wei with her schoolbag and registration form.
So everyone had no choice but to gather around Fang Wei again.
It’s mainly about registration for the school sports meet!
I was so excited that I didn't know what specific events were involved, how to sign up, how to participate, etc., all of which went in one ear and out the other.
Lian Fangwei didn't remember some of them clearly, but Xu Cailing, who was usually drowsy in class, remembered everything Wen Susu said about the school sports meet clearly.
She was standing next to Fang Wei's desk, carrying her schoolbag, holding up the registration form in her hand and shouting:
"If you want to sign up for the school sports meet, come and sign up with me!"
"Cai Ling, what are the projects?"
"One hundred meters, two hundred meters, one thousand five hundred meters for women, three thousand meters for men..."
Xu Cailing didn't even look at the form, she blurted out the items of each competition. The girl has always had an impressive memory, and when it comes to things like this, her brain works so well, as if she had been enlightened.
The crowd was not in a hurry to sign up, but just passed the registration form around and chatted about the various competition events on it.
Xu Cailing was not interested in whether other people signed up or not. She looked straight at Fang Wei and asked with a giggle:
"Fang Wei, which projects do you want to sign up for?"
"…The deadline is Friday, I haven't decided yet."
"Then you should think about it quickly, sign up and confirm early, and then make preparations early!"
Fang Wei asked back: "Then which projects do you want to sign up for?"
This school sports meet is mainly based on track and field events, which are divided into male and female groups. Cai Ling can't compete with him on the same starting line... Even if she has the ability, she has to compete in the women's group.
Fang Weike didn't feel sorry for her at all. Instead, he felt sorry for the female classmates in her group.
Although Cailing is only a freshman, the competition is not divided by grade. As a female contestant, the seniors in the second and third grades are afraid that they will not be able to compete with Cailing...
Xu Cailing had already thought about this question about Fang Wei.
"Well, I have to participate in the 100 meters, right? Since I'm already participating in the 100 meters, I can also participate in the 200 meters. I have to sign up for the women's 1,500 meters... I'm also good at the high jump, not to mention the long jump. As for the shot put, I haven't thrown it yet, so I don't know if it's very heavy. I'll give it a try! And I have to participate in the relay race, as it's a team event, so it shouldn't be a problem for everyone to participate!"
Fang Wei looked at the items on the registration form for a while, then said in a daze: "You want to participate in all of them?"
"Yup!"
"..."
It seems that he wants to say something but stops himself from saying it, but he still wants to say it. There is nothing wrong with it.
No... You heard there was a reward, so you planned to buy some goods at school?!
“It’s not that easy! There are seniors in the second and third grades of junior high school. They may be very strong too.” Xu Cailing said modestly.
"...When you are being humble, can you control the corners of your mouth first?" Fang Wei reminded.
Xu Cailing was no longer modest and said frankly: "I want them all!"
She had already made up her mind that not only would she participate in all the events, but she would also have to at least win a prize!
People who are truly talented are always extremely confident and even proud of themselves at their best age.
Cai Ling is like this now. It is a rare opportunity to show herself in a formal occasion, and she doesn’t want to miss it!
An expression he had never seen before appeared on his little childhood sweetheart's face, so much so that Fang Wei was a little stunned.
He smiled. Sure enough, Cai Ling in this life was quite different from her back then. Such self-confidence and pride had become part of her unique charm.
"So which ones are you going to participate in?"
Returning to the topic, Xu Cailing was busy urging him again.
"Just let me think about it."
"Oh, don't think about it. You are the class monitor. You have to set an example. I will help you write it!"
Xu Cailing took the registration form, put on her schoolbag, leaned over his desk, and wrote his name on the registration form in large, ugly handwriting.
[Men’s 100m – Fang Wei; Men’s 200m – Fang Wei; Men’s 3000m – Fang Wei…]
After she finished writing his name, she then wrote her own name.
[Women’s 100m-Xu Cailing; Women’s 200m-Xu Cailing…]
When other students took the registration form and looked at it, they exclaimed:
"Class monitor, Cailing, are you two going to participate in all the events?!"
Fang Wei: “…”
Cai Ling: “Hehe.”
You know what, with Fang Wei and Xu Cailing, two students who participated in all projects, setting an example, the other students who were still hesitating no longer hesitated and signed up with Xu Cailing.
"Lv Jialiang, what do you want to participate in?"
"Men's 4 meters! And, 100* relay!"
"Then, Cailing, please help me write one too, a 4*100 relay race!" Ye Xiaoli at the table in front also said.
"Then I'll participate in shot put," said Dupepe.
Although Pepe usually seems to be soft-hearted, she is actually quite strong, given her physique.
Although Du Pepe is a little fat, no classmates have ever laughed at her for it, because Pepe has such a good personality. On the contrary, this fat Pepe makes people feel easier to get along with.
In fact, it's not just Pepe and Cailing. All 42 students in the class get along very well with each other. Perhaps it's because Wen Susu serves as the class's cohesive force. Compared with other classes, Class 2 is more like a collective, and the relationship between classmates is very good.
For many students, a good class atmosphere is something that is hard to come by.
Not to mention the sense of collective honor, just studying in such a harmonious and friendly atmosphere is something that is quite enviable.
As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together.", "Birds of a feather flock together." This saying is not groundless, especially in the current adolescence, boys and girls are easily influenced by the people around them. Only after having been in a bad class, can one know the importance of the atmosphere in a class, which is like a catalyst that will constantly influence the people around them to become better.
Just like now.
Although the registration deadline was Friday, the atmosphere was lively and soon many students' names were written on the registration form in Xu Cailing's hand.
"Me, me, me!" Today it was Asheng's table's turn to take charge. Seeing the lively registration here, he squeezed over with a broom in his hand.
"Cai Ling, help me sign up for the 4-meter, 100-meter and * relay races!!" Ah Sheng said hurriedly, fearing that he would miss out.
"Row."
Xu Cailing wrote down Ah Sheng's name and looked at Wang Yushan who was setting the table.
"Yushan, do you want to sign up for the sports meet?"
"Sign her up for the 100-meter race! Even though her legs are short, she's very fast!"
Before Wang Yushan could speak, Ah Sheng spoke up for her.
As the smallest girl in the class, Wang Yushan has good academic performance and decent physical fitness.
But after all, she was a girl, so she was always embarrassed to participate in such things. Seeing Ah Sheng making trouble and setting a trap for her, Wang Yushan kicked him angrily: "Why don't you go and sweep the floor!"
"Isn't this sweeping..."
A Sheng hurried to sweep the floor.
This is the bad thing about sitting at the same table with Wang Yushan. She has goals and plans for everything and won't tolerate any procrastination.
Thanks to her, Ah Sheng's usually procrastinating character has changed a lot.
Xu Cailing naturally didn't care about Ah Sheng's disruptive shouting, so she asked Wang Yushan again: "Yushan, do you want to sign up for the sports meet?"
Wang Yushan looked at the events on the registration form, thought for a moment and said, "Then Cailing, please help me sign up for the 4*100m event."
"Okay!"
Small group competitions like this are the first choice for many girls, because at least they have a companion.
Currently, there are three people registered for the women's 4*100m relay, including Ye Xiaoli, Wang Yushan, and Cai Ling herself.
Xu Cailing's eyes searched and finally fell on Liu Zhiyi.
It was time to go home from school. The three members of Donghua Village were not in a hurry to leave. As a member of the four members of Pineapple Island, Liu Zhiyi was naturally not in a hurry to leave either. He sat quietly in his seat as if he was having a break as usual.
The school bag was already packed and was held in her arms. Like other classmates, she curiously watched Cai Ling holding the registration form.
Seeing Cai Ling looking at him, Liu Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat.
Before she could ask, Liu Zhiyi waved his hand:
"Cai Ling, I, I just can't..."
"Ah, why? Zhiyi, let's sign up together!"
“I can’t exercise…”
"How could that be? You've been running for so long recently and have made a lot of progress!"
"I'm just... sorry."
"It's okay. You see Fang Wei participated, I participated, and A Sheng participated too."
"..."
Perhaps this was the key to her change of tone. When she thought about the other three members of the Pineapple Island Four participating, she began to seriously consider it.
“But I don’t think I’m particularly good at anything.”
“Run!”
“I run slowly…”
"It's okay! We'll all come to cheer you on! So, Zhiyi, we're still short one person in the four-person relay race, so you can join us in the 4x100 relay race!"
Liu Zhiyi thought about it and then nodded.
Xu Cailing then wrote her name on the registration form.
"Liu Zhiyi-women's 4*100 meters,"
"Alright! Let's train together from now on!"
"..."
Looking at the name on the sports meet registration form, Liu Zhiyi was stunned for a while.
If someone had told her half a year ago that [you will go jogging every morning and sign up for the school sports meet], she would never have believed it.
……
By Tuesday, most of the students who wanted to participate in the school sports meet had already registered with Xu Cailing.
I don’t know about the registration situation for other classes, but the registration for Class 2 is very enthusiastic.
After the Chinese class, Wen Susu went to Xu Cailing to find out about the registration situation.
"Twenty-six people signed up?!"
Wen Susu counted the number of people on the registration form and exclaimed in surprise. Among the 26 students who registered, many had registered for multiple projects at once, just like Cai Lingfang had done for them.
Seeing that Wen Susu didn't speak for a long time, Xu Cailing scratched her head and said with some shame: "Teacher Wen, isn't it a bit too few... I will talk to them more in the next two days! Let everyone sign up!"
"No, it's already amazing! Everyone's enthusiasm is beyond my expectation!"
If Cai Ling hadn't said that everyone signed up voluntarily, Wen Susu would have thought that Cai Ling had put a knife to their necks and forced them to sign up.
After all, she was born in a big city, and Wen Susu also participated in the school sports meet when she was a student. But at that time, the response from classmates who signed up was mediocre, and the class teacher often had to set registration task targets to barely complete the number of registrations. How could most of the students in the class sign up voluntarily like this?
After talking to the head teachers of other classes, I learned that the enrollment situation in other classes is also pretty good, with an average of more than ten people, except for Class 2, which has a much larger number of students.
But think about it, after all, it was the first sports meet held by the school. For the boys and girls of playful age, it was a pretty grand event.
Wen Susu smiled. This exaggerated registration ratio would probably scare Teacher Liu and the others when she told them about it in the office.
