C225 Good Health
"I discussed this list with the coaches before. If you refuse, then it's not giving face to the coaches. If you don't believe me, you can ask him yourself."2
Xie Dingqiang was an old scholar who did not care about this kind of trivial matter. It was definitely Soong Xing's idea, but Yang Tao did not want to nag with him, so he said, "Alright then, just report it to me. I'll say it first, you can't blame me if you don't get a rank."
"Alright, alright, as long as you participate." Soong Xing was very happy to hear it. He thought: "As long as you participate, I'm not afraid that you'll lose face."
At dinner time, Yang Tao told Soong Jia about his report of 8000 meters. Soong Jia looked at Yang Tao in surprise and asked, "Why are you reporting this?"
"Our class monitor reported to me. He said that the ranking isn't important, that's all that matters is to participate." Yang Tao asked.
"You're still thinking about ranking? I see you're determined to be the last one." Soong Jia said.
"It can't be, my body is still fine. Although I'm not the first, I'm not the last one, am I?"
How is that not true, 8000 meters is not a big deal, most people will find it hard to run down there, you know that the representatives for this program are usually the school's sports specialties, those people practice this every day, even if your body is good, but without any training, you will definitely not be able to outrun them, so I said that you are determined to be the last. Soong Jia said.
"Is that true?" Yang Tao didn't know about this. He thought they were both in the class, so even if he couldn't get first, he would at least be in the top few. Now that he heard Soong Jia say it, how could an amateur like himself compete with others professionally?
Now that he thought about it, Soong Xing probably knew about it already. He purposely signed up for Soong Xing to embarrass him. It would be very embarrassing for Soong Xing to make it to the bottom of the list.
"Why don't I think of a way to get you out of this project?" Soong Jia said.
"Forget it, since I've already reported it, let's do it like this. My skin is thick, I'll go from last to last. Besides, it might not be so, my health is still pretty good." Yang Tao said.
"You are so shameless." Soong Jia said.
"Really, you can test it yourself if you don't want to." Yang Tao chuckled and said.
Soong Jia naturally knew what Yang Tao meant. She rolled her eyes and said, "What are you thinking about?"
Soon, it was time for the sports meet. After Yang Tao got up, he called Lee Yu and the others over, which caused everyone to complain, "This sports meet, why are you up so early? You're not going to class."
"I have a project today. Aren't you guys going to cheer for me?" Yang Tao said.
"You have a project?" The three of them said in unison.
"Right, 8000 meters right? Didn't I tell you guys before?"
"Sigh, it seems to be the case." Lee Yu stuck his head out from the top bunk.
"I seem to have some impression of him." Wu Kai also looked up and said.
"Hey, I don't have any impression at all. Old Yang, are you sure you said that?" Qin Junjie also stuck his head out, making a slight noise on the cast-iron bed. Every time this happened, Yang Tao was afraid that this bed wouldn't be able to withstand Qin Junjie's weight.
"Aren't you guys too heartless?" Yang Tao was a bit depressed. Weren't these people a little too heartless?
"Old Yang, I think you should give up. You won't be able to run for 8000 meters anyway." Wu Kai said.
"That's right. Otherwise, if we cheer for you and you run to the bottom, we'll lose face as well." Qin Junjie said.
"How can you two speak like that? You're both from the same dorm. So what if you're the last? There are green leaves everywhere in this world whenever there's flowers. Old Yang, I'll support you." Lee Yu said.
