Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 20 [One step away]

The 101st April Fool's Day.

Jason, you dance so well, you don't need to sign up to learn at all.

At the end of One Step Away, the blond girl Molly Evans in a blue dance dress couldn't get enough of it, she looked up into Guo Xu's eyes and sighed.

That's probably because I played super-level because of partnering with you. Guo Xu smiled.

Molly leaned very close, drawing circles on Guo Xu's chest with her right index finger. Why do I feel like you've known me before? Have we met?

Did you find out? Actually, I know you. Guo Xu nodded.

Huh? When? Molly asked expectantly.

Guo Xu unscrewed a bottle of purified water for her and handed it over, and said with a smile, Brentwood Bolan Church Middle School.

You are my classmate? Molly covered her mouth with her hands in surprise, because it was hard not to leave a slight impression on Guo Xu's face.

Brentwood is located in the southeast of New Hampshire in the United States. It is the county seat of Rockingham County. It is a small place with an area of ​​44 square kilometers. According to the 2000 US census, there are 3,197 people in total. Students of Boland Church Middle School Many are neighbors.

Guo Xu drank a few sips of water first, and lowered his voice: Because you are two grades older than me, I was short when I first entered school, not like I am now. I remember you performed a musical at the orientation party, and you were much prettier than the heroine that day gone.

Really? Molly blinked at Guo Xu.

The distance between the two has been shortened a lot. Women are born to dream. Molly immediately felt that this was the person she had a crush on in high school, otherwise she would not have told about her school and the fact that she had performed in musicals. At that time, she lost to a girl who was not as good-looking as her but had a better singing voice in the heroine competition, and she was depressed for a long time.

In fact, Molly told Guo Xu all these things. This American girl is extroverted and can't hide her words. Now Guo Xu knows what to say to make her happier, although everything will restart tomorrow.

In the time loop, she always fell in love with Guo Xu at first sight, and would take the initiative to ask Guo Xu out to play after the dance class. At first she complained that Guo Xu always stepped on her feet and asked Guo Xu to treat guests to dinner. Later, Guo Xu danced better and better, and she became more clingy.

Guo Xu is an ordinary person, not Liu Xiahui, he enjoys the initiative of the woman. The two had known each other for nearly two months, talked about one-day love many times, and did indescribable things, but Molly couldn't remember them.

This night Guo Xu stayed out of the night again. Jason Richardson, who was alone in the empty hotel in the pit, was very serious. He was called by the team leader and coach many times at night for questioning.

Gentle Township, Hero Tomb. Guo Xu will not put all his energy on falling in love, he knows very well that to Molly, he is just a passerby, and their relationship is like that tango song - one step away.

Molly's whole family lives in Polis. She is an only child, and she will not leave her parents to develop in other cities. She has no ambition, and her career goal is to join a local dance troupe; Guo Xu, who is ambitious, will never be able to live in the city. After staying in a city like Polis for a lifetime, he has a higher pursuit.

Because the time will be reset, Guo Xu has no scruples and is not afraid of hurting the other party, so he can ask anything directly. After Molly knew that he was a student at Michigan State University, she said, I don't want forever, I just want to have it once.

These words generally have two meanings, one is a mature person who once had a beautiful marriage, but for some reason missed it, failed to get married and joined hands forever, to comfort himself and cherish that relationship; the second It is to live without seeking results, but to enjoy the process.

Guo Xu and Mo Li definitely belong to the second type. As long as he doesn't learn tango, they won't know each other...

In addition to Molly, Guo Xu also met many people in other places. As the number of time cycles increased, he played more and more things.

On the 101st and 102nd April Fool's Day, he practiced dancing, and on the 103rd April Fool's Day, he chose to play tennis.

Tennis is also an aerobic exercise that consumes a lot of energy. In large-scale open matches, evenly matched players may play for 3 or 4 hours a game. Even if there is a rest period every two games, it is still very torturous.

When serving a tennis ball, both feet bounce upwards. The higher the hitting point, the more explosive the serve. Guo Xu specially practiced this kind of serve to exercise his jumping and arm strength.

His opponent is not an ordinary person, but a sparring partner hired at a high price of 500 US dollars. A local tennis master named Luke O'Connor, 27 years old this year, has participated in a Grand Slam tournament.

The four Grand Slams of tennis are the abbreviations of the Australian Open, Wimbledon, French Open and US Open.

There are 104 players directly entering the Grand Slam competition. Theoretically, all the top 104 in the world can enter, plus 8 wild card players, and 16 qualifying players. A total of 128 players participated in the qualifying round. In the case of withdrawal, only the top 104 players in the world can enter, but there will be people withdrawing from the competition every year, so the lowest in the general qualifying competition will be around 120.

Luke hadn't won an award in the competition, so qualifying for the competition is already very impressive. It is too easy for a professional tennis player to play against an amateur tennis player. As long as he draws two sidelines, Guo Xu has to move sideways constantly. Every time he leaves after playing, he is so tired that he wants to stick out his tongue and pant like a dog.

Guo Xu has made rapid progress, but he still can't beat Luke in a single game. Fortunately, he doesn't care. His goal is not to participate in the tennis Grand Slam, but to exercise endurance and lateral speed. In basketball games, lateral speed is very important.

On the 104th April Fool's Day, Guo Xu went to Purdue University to play football.

Once when Guo Xu and Molly went out for a night out, they met a high school classmate named Rafael Wawrinka, who was admitted to Purdue University. He mentioned that he lost 8-3 in a football game in the afternoon.

Guo Xu went to Purdue University and successfully found Rafael. As his friend, he participated in this friendly match between the two classes, and his opponent was a sophomore from the same department.

His physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary students. He plays in the midfield, can sprint as a shadow killer, or retreat to help defend. This is the fifth time he has played this game. His skills are average, but his bravery is the best. He is the best runner in the game.

Guo Xu has already understood the opponent's weakness and remembered who is weaker in defense, but the opponent knows nothing about him, and it is inevitable to suffer. He scored two goals at the beginning of the game, all of which were single-handed shots after passing the ball with speed.

After practicing for three months, Guo Xu's speed has improved a lot, he has an advantage on the basketball court, and the football field is wider. Once he rushes up, no one can keep up with the speed.

At the end, Guo Xu's team won 7-5. Guo Xu scored three goals alone and staged a hat-trick, all of which were shots after running wildly.

His stamina has improved significantly. He came to Purdue for the first time to play a game, and he suffered cramps in his right calf at the end. After today's game, he ran a lot, but he looked like a normal person.

Guo Xu and Raphael chatted and left the court, and the other students still felt very strange.

Who is that guy? Does anyone know him?

I do not recognize.

I haven't seen it either. He doesn't seem to be from that class.

I have a question. Does any of you have any grudge against him? Why is he working so hard? Aren't we just kidding around?
