1.
A strange tale circulates at Leping High School:
No matter whether it's dawn or dusk, the dead of winter or the height of summer, there's always a girl running on the track.
Xu Haiyue first saw the person from the story during the winter of his first year of high school.
As her lithe figure passed him, her graceful running form was like a brilliant meteor streaking across his soul.
Looking closer, he realized: Wasn't this his deskmate, Ji Ying, whom he hadn't spoken to once since the start of term?
2.
Ji Ying had always dreamed of running track.
Though she never became a dedicated track-and-field student, she kept practicing on her own, rain or shine, running for six years straight.
Until Xu Haiyue asked her, "What's your goal in running?"
She answered without a moment's hesitation: "Higher, faster, stronger."
The shock in the young man's eyes gradually gave way to a smile.
"Then let me be your coach."
"You're a gifted runner. One day, you'll make it to a dazzling place where all eyes are on you, and I want to be someone who helped you along the way."
Their youth at fifteen truly began to run from that moment on.

"Breaking the tape" is a technical term in track and field, also called "crossing the finish line." It refers to an athlete's torso touching the finish line at the end of a race, marking its completion.
Track-and-field athletes cross the finish line countless times in their lives. From tests in their daily training to competitions of all scales, the five-centimeter-wide white line on a standard track and the 1.22-meter-wide lanes, over a distance of 400 meters, are the athletes' battlefield.
At the final provincial games of high school, Ji Ying finally defeated the provincial capital athlete who had been her beloved rival for three years.
In front of the rest area, Xu Haiyue looked at Ji Ying's sparkling eyes. Before he could say a word, she threw her arms around him.
Her embrace was scorching, still carrying the heat of the competition, and its warmth blazed all the way to his heart.
"Thank you for always staying by my side."
Xu Haiyue blushed. "...Mm."
He thought that in six months, after the college entrance exams, he would tell her all about the long years of affection he had kept in his heart.

I really feel like sighing. Even if a child of this age knows how to work hard, how can he not be subtly affected by the environment? Although it's a bit utilitarian to say this, if you don't have good enough opponents around you, it's almost impossible to keep studying hard. I kind of miss my junior high school days. Because there were two very powerful sisters in the class, I kept studying hard to compete with them. The three of us took turns to take the first place in the grade, and finally we could leave the small town and go to a high school outside... A good opponent is also a good partner, or the best partner at this age will appear as a (study) opponent.
The main quest is finally revealed! Seeing the two people exploring and walking all the way to the bright office in the dark felt like I was back in high school, back in the time of trying my best, pure expectation and hard work... It's so good... The author's words have a sense of situational substitution, and it's amazing that the description can create such a real experience. However, Xiaojiang is very subtle in the parent group. He seems to have something going on at home (feeling guilty).
Oh my, it's really cute to sleep on it... Also listen to music with the same pair of headphones. Although I've seen this scene a lot, my heart will throb every time I see it WWW
Alas, I'm getting stressed... This is how a small place is, you must have a chance to see the outside.
What kind of family must have their children take the first place in the exam...
Midterm comes with rain... Will it rain like this at other important points?
It's over, I've really memorized it (
Rhetorical questions are the best prevarication 🐶
You are obviously more of a middle schooler!
