Two days later, the school's sports meet officially opened. The boys in our class were filled with enthusiasm, determined to win the championship. Our school's sports uniforms were particularly attractive; for the boys in the junior high spring season, it consisted of light blue polo shirts and blue long pants, while the girls wore light blue polo shirts and white skirts, giving off a stylish vibe.
The opening ceremony began at eight in the morning. Besides speeches from the principal and student representatives, and the entrance of athletes from each class, the highlight was undoubtedly the performance by the school cheerleading team. Each cheerleader was beautifully made up, wearing bright red polo shirts and black skirts, all of similar height and radiating youthful energy. I couldn't help but feel envious of them, especially when I thought about my own legs, which were hard to look at. When would I be able to grow taller?
After the opening ceremony, everyone returned to their respective class activity areas. The logistics staff prepared bottled water and glucose, and they also attached athlete number stickers to each competitor participating that day. Shen Yulin signed up for the high jump event, which was one of the popular competitions that morning. As I was attaching his number sticker to his shirt, Lu Pingping walked over and whispered, "Brother, your sister-in-law is so affectionate!"
My cheeks flushed with embarrassment as I glared at her and said, "Stop talking nonsense! Who's your sister-in-law?"
"Whoever blushes and argues is admitting it!" Lu Pingping said with a grin. I pretended to be angry and turned away from her.
Shen Yulin watched our exchange with a smirk, seemingly pleased with Lu Pingping's teasing. He generously took a hundred yuan bill from his pocket and handed it to her, saying, "Here, go buy something delicious!"
"Yay! Long live brother! Long live sister-in-law!" Lu Pingping shouted happily as she ran toward the snack shop.
I wanted to chase after her but was stopped by Shen Yulin pulling my sleeve. "Did you hear what she said? You're not going to help me chase her?" I shot him an annoyed glance.
"What she said makes sense! Even though I'm not dating anyone right now, you deserve to be called that," Shen Yulin said affectionately as he looked at me.
"Hey, hey, hey! You two have had enough of this dog food, right? Shen Third Master, it's time to get ready for the high jump!" Cheng Haifeng shouted at us while holding the sports meet schedule. Instantly, several classmates turned their heads to look at us. I was so angry that I could have torn Cheng Haifeng's mouth apart.
Liao Jian heard our commotion from a distance and couldn't help but walk over to me. "Xingxing, are you tired? Have a bottle of water?"
"No need; I brought my own water. Thank you," I politely declined Liao Jian. I wasn't sure if it was my guilty conscience or what, but after refusing him, I looked at Shen Yulin and saw that his expression remained unchanged. This made me feel a bit more relaxed; however, it was awkward standing between Liao Jian and Shen Yulin as I sensed an unspoken tension between them.
Just when I didn't know how to ease the atmosphere, Cheng Haifeng came over and pulled Shen Yulin toward the competition area. Zhang Yun also grabbed my arm: "Xingxing, let's go watch the competition!" I nodded and greeted Liao Jian before happily following Zhang Yun to watch the match.
The high jump venue was located in the southeast corner of the playground. By the time Zhang Yun and I arrived at the scene, it was already crowded with people around the high jump area. We squeezed through the crowd until we finally reached the front row, standing side by side as we eagerly looked toward the starting point.
Shen Yulin's number was 23. By the time it was his turn, my feet had gone numb from standing too long; however, seeing him at the starting point made me tense up involuntarily. Incredibly, Shen Yulin cleared the bar effortlessly on all three attempts and successfully advanced to the finals. Zhang Yun and I excitedly hugged each other.
We also watched a senior from high school clear his jumps easily on all three attempts and couldn't help but feel nervous for Shen Yulin as he headed into the finals. In the end, Shen Yulin secured second place by just one jump.
This was the first event of the sports meet and set a good tone for our class's subsequent competitions.
