Chapter 3

"Okay, now Li Tian, ​​you can sit in the empty position in the third row!" Wu Li thought of Li Tian's possible back and arranged a relatively high position for him.

"Thank you, teacher!" Li Tian thanked the teacher politely, and sat in the seat with his schoolbag. Wu Li, who arranged the seat for Li Tian, ​​also left the classroom. In an instant, a large group of curious boys gathered around and asked Li Tian about this and that.

"Hey! Your name is Li Tian, ​​right? Your skin is really beautiful. Did you just come back from abroad? I heard that this skin color is very popular abroad now."

"Li Tian, ​​is it really your first time going to school? Then how did you study before?"

"Li Tian, ​​I'm very happy to be your deskmate."

"Li Tian, ​​what do you like to play usually? Do you like football or basketball?"

...

"Hey! Don't bully Xiaotian!" At this time, Zhao Rong's crisp voice sounded again. As the class monitor of Class 1, she is not only beautiful, but also has the best academic performance in the class. She is very popular with teachers and has prestige in the minds of her classmates.

"Hey! Bantu Xiaotian, Xiaotian, you are so intimate!" A little fat man heard it and said.

"Xiaotian is my younger brother. What's the big deal about Xiaotian? But you guys, if you know you bullied him, I will make you look good." Before coming to school, Zhao Rong took over the task of taking care of Li Tian from her parents' right from her parents.

"But Ban Tou, your surname is Zhao, and he is Li."

"Have you ever heard of a relationship called cousin? Stupid!" In order to prevent the classmates from learning Li Tian's background too much, so as not to discriminate against Li Tian, ​​the two made an appointment to call cousin before coming to school.

Under the care of Zhao Rong and his class teacher Wu Li, Li Tian quickly integrated into this group, and gradually adapted to his daily study and life.

On this day, as soon as the class teacher Wu Li entered the classroom, he read out a notice from the school, which was about holding the school sports meeting next week. This news made all the students very excited, because the school sports meeting at Huaxing Primary School usually takes three consecutive days. For students, it is like a grand festival, which can completely relax your body and mind without considering the intense study. Finally, Wu Li encourages students to practice in the next week, actively sign up, and strive to win glory for the group.

In the next few days, the school indeed set off a wave of exercise. After class and after school, groups of students were stepping up training on the school's sports field. The busiest person in the class became the sports committee member Ren Dahai.

He is busy choosing competition events for his classmates every day and organizing training for students to sign up for competitions. But what makes him most trouble now is that among all competition events, the only man with the longest distance is 1,500 meters away, no one cares about it.

"Li Tian..., can you help me?" After class, Ren Dahai walked to Li Tian's position. Before that, Ren Dahai tried his best to make the 1,500-meter participants, but asked all the "strong men" in the class, but none of them were willing to participate in this hardest project, so he had no choice but to put his mind on Li Tian, ​​the new classmate.

"If you have any questions, just agree. If I can help, I will definitely help." Seeing Ren Dahai speaking hesitantly, Li Tian said.

"That's right. You also know that the school sports meeting will be held next week. The school also has regulations that each class must have at least one student participating in each competition event, otherwise the class competition points will be deducted. Now all the candidates are available, and only the men are 1,500 meters away. No one is willing to participate. I mean, whether you can recharge the numbers in this event is not important or not. The key is that the class score cannot be deducted. You should work harder and just finish the jog slowly." Seeing that Li Tian was so happy, Ren Dahai also told Li Tian about his thoughts.

"It's so easy to participate in the 1500-meter race? Well, I'll participate!" Li Tian thought it was so difficult. When it comes to running, not to mention 1500 meters, even 15,000 meters is not in his own words. When he was in the mountain village, he was used to running in the mountains, and this time it was a good opportunity to get closer to his classmates.

"Really? Are you really willing to participate? It's great. I'll report your name right away." Ren Dahai, who had been bothered by this incident for a long time, was afraid that Li Tian would change his mind, so he immediately wrote Li Tian's name on the registration form and hurried out of the classroom.

"Xiaotian, let Ren Dahai say you have signed up for the 1500-meter race?" Zhao Rong asked on the way home.

"Well! Ren Dahai said no one was willing to participate, so I signed up. Sister Rong, don't you like it? Then I'll quit." What Li Tian didn't want the least was that Zhao Rong was unhappy.

"How could it be? I am the squad leader. Of course I am happy that you can contribute to the collective, but I was thinking that since you signed up for this project, you must get a prize. So! I will train you well from tomorrow. Do you have no objection?" Zhao Rong said in a tone of an elder sister, while Li Tian nodded seriously and made up his mind to win the first place and come back to make his sister happy.

Early the next morning, Zhao Rong sneaked into her father's room, took a stopwatch and a score record card, and quietly flipped through a "Standard Evaluation Standard Manual for Track and Field Competitions" on the table. Because both of them wanted to surprise their parents, all preparations were carried out in private. Due to nervousness, Zhao Rong did not notice a line of inconspicuous small words "National Evaluation Standards for Professional Youth Athletes" under the cover of the manual. After hurriedly transcribing several sets of 1,500-meter score data into the book, Zhao Rong returned to her room without knowing it and put all the things she had just got into her schoolbag.

After school in the afternoon, Zhao Rong, who had a stopwatch on her chest, a sun hat on her head, and a record book in one hand, really had a little coaching smell. Behind her was Li Tian, ​​who had changed into a short sports outfit, also looked particularly energetic. The two walked towards the school's sports field together. This venue was built by Huaxing Primary School for a large amount of money according to the formal competition standards, and there was no need to say about the track and the facilities on the field.

"Xiaotian, I heard from my father that you can't try your best to run at the beginning of a long-distance running. The most important thing is to maintain a certain speed throughout the process and sprint at the last distance. Now let's test your results first, and you can do some warm-up exercises."

"Okay, Sister Rong, you can start." After Li Tian did a warm-up exercise taught by the school's physical education teacher, he stood at the 1500-meter starting line.

"Prepare! Start!" With Zhao Rong's order, Li Tian rushed out immediately. Almost at the same time, Zhao Rong pressed the stopwatch.

"Wow! Look, that boy ran so fast!" As Li Tian rushed past him, a girl jogging on the track said in surprise.

"Hmph! It's nothing special. He knew he was an amateur at first glance." A boy next to the girl said disdainfully.

"Look at his starting position just now, the starting point of 1500 meters, but there are three or four laps in 1500 meters. Running like this in the first lap will cause a lot of lactic acid to produce in the muscles, which will consume a lot of physical strength. I think he doesn't even have the strength to finish the second lap."

"Wow! You know so much."

"Of course, why do I say I am also a member of the school's track and field team!" Seeing the girls' admiration, the boy became proud.

"Come on! Come on, Xiaotian, there are three more laps!" Zhao Rong moved to the finish line at this time to encourage Li Tian.

"Hey! Didn't you say he will lose strength soon? But why did he still run so fast!" The girl looked at Li Tian for most of the time, but her speed did not tend to decline at all, and asked the boy around her.

"Ah! It's soon, it's soon, and he's no longer physically." The boy could not have thought that Li Tian could last for so long, and he was a little confident in speaking. But then he felt relieved again, because all the people who were good at school sports were recruited into the school team, and he was also a member of the track and field team. He knew everyone who practiced long-distance running, and obviously there was no Li Tian in it. No matter how powerful Li Tian was, he was not as strong as the people who practiced long-distance running in the school team. They couldn't run 1,500 meters from beginning to end at this speed.

But Li Tian once again made his prediction missed. Li Tian, ​​who quickly ran the second lap, did not run as the boy imagined. Instead, he became more and more vigorous and more energetic. Not only did he not slow down, but he also improved.

"Xiaotian, there is still the last lap. Accelerate, accelerate! You can achieve excellence in 55 seconds." Zhao Rong looked at the stopwatch in her hand and shouted anxiously at Li Tian who had passed by her.

"Ah! Look, he is running faster and faster! This is the last lap!" After hearing what the girl said, the boy stopped making a sound, but just stared at Li Tian's figure running faster and faster.

In the last round, Li Tian gave up his strength. Although his calves were short, his steps were faster than he could. After leaving the last bend and entering the last 100-meter straight, Li Tian raised his entire speed and rushed through the finish line like a gust of wind. At this moment, Zhao Rong pressed the stop button of the stopwatch.

"How are the results?" After crossing the finish line, Li Tian's face turned pale with exhaustion, sweating heavily, gasping for breath, and supported his hands on his knees, and raised his head slightly to ask Zhao Rong.

"Xiaotian, you are so amazing, you are excellent! You have reached the standard of excellence, look, look." Zhao Rong excitedly pulled Li Tian and jumped and shouted, and showed Li Tian the results on the stopwatch - 3 minutes and 50 seconds. Compared with the standards copied from the manual in the morning, Li Tian happened to meet the requirements of excellence.

"But this is just enough to meet the excellent standard. It seems that I still need to work harder." Although I have reached the excellent standard, it is just about stepping on the edge of passing. This cannot satisfy Li Tian. In his consciousness, to win the first place, I have to achieve better results.
