prevailing westerlies

Lu Yi thought that He Yihan would visit the convenience store again, but he was wrong, He Yihan never came again.Over time, he almost forgot about this person until one day when he was having dinner in the cafeteria.At that time, he was listening to Jiang Meilin chattering about the plot of a certain fantasy novel, when suddenly the girl became dumb, Lu Yi raised his head in response, and saw a table-sharing person standing opposite him.

acquaintance.

He Yihan was polite: "Can I sit in this seat?"

Jiang Meilin still felt guilty about what happened last time, and immediately said: "Yes, yes."

Since she didn't mind, Lu Yi naturally had nothing to say.Meilin couldn't just talk nonsense, and obediently lowered her head to eat, and brought braised pork to Lu Yi by the way—the two of them often did this. Since Lu Yi's family had an accident, he didn't buy much meat dishes, so Jiang Meilin evened out his own. Some.

The habit has been developed for a long time, and she didn't even realize that she was picking up vegetables. After Lu Yi finished eating the piece of meat, he was about to comment on the canteen aunt's cooking today, when another rib appeared on the plate, and he lost his voice instantly.

He Yihan put down his chopsticks, and explained: "I haven't used this pair, they are clean. Sweet and sour pork ribs, taste good, try it."

Lu Yi stared at the two pairs of chopsticks he owned, and didn't know what to say for a moment.Hello, are they familiar to this point?Even the taste is clear, this guy is really investigating him behind the scenes, right?

Jiang Meilin always felt that He Yihan looked cold, but unexpectedly, she was quite humane. She asked enthusiastically, "Master, do you want to eat my food?"

"No, thank you."

"..."

"Hey," Lu Yi frowned, "He Yihan, what's your plan?"

"It's just to make friends." Facing the question, a certain person still had a machine-like attitude, with a steady voice, "Of course, I really want to ask you for a favor."

"What are you busy with?"

"I heard that you won No.1 in the swimming competition last year. I want to compete with you."

Lu Yi refused without hesitation: "Sorry, I'm not free."

He Yihan was silent for half a second: "I see." He stood up with a plate in his hand: "Let's go first, you guys eat slowly."

He Yihan's departure did not affect Lu Yi's mood in the slightest, he even ate up the innocent ribs.Jiang Meilin was thoughtful, and scolded him for being heartless: "He seems to be really looking forward to it, so you just compete with him once, why, are you afraid of losing?"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go back to self-study in the evening." Lu Yi said absent-mindedly, of course he didn't care about winning or losing, he just needed to work part-time and didn't have time to go to the swimming pool.

But I really miss the time in the water.

Mei Lin curled her lips in disdain: "You make it sound like you're really eager to learn."

Lu Yi felt that he and He Yihan had fallen into an evil relationship. They were obviously two people who couldn't get along, but they met frequently on various occasions.He just forgot to bring his books and was punished to stand in the corridor. It happened that He Yihan and another student cadre were checking the sanitation of the corridor.

The corridors of the teaching building have an unusual width in order to allow students to move their bodies between classes.Lu Yi stood against the wall outside the classroom, looking at He Yihan who was opposite from a distance, stretched out his index finger to wipe the glass window.

In terms of facts, what Jiang Meilin said was right, the kid surnamed He is indeed not bad looking, and can resist all-round observation.However, Lu Yi prefers to look at his side face rather than the front face, because the eyes can be ignored to some extent-there is nothing wrong with the eyes, but occasionally, they seem to turn blue, which is shocking at first glance.

Scary.

He Yihan didn't talk to him, checked the sanitation of this floor and left.Lu Yi thought that it was impossible for the other party not to see him, probably because his direct refusal last time played a role, and finally made people retreat.

The sound of reciting ancient poems in the class wafted out, shaking Lu Yi's ears sorely. He listened idly, and accidentally heard the sentence "Guanshan is difficult to cross, who is sad for those who have lost their way", for some reason, his heart trembled for a moment .

Then he saw the boy who had returned to his eyes.

He Yihan held a booklet and raised his arm in the gesture of handing it to him.Familiar italic characters are printed on the red cover, "Must-remember Chinese Texts for High School".

"What are you doing?" Lu Yi really didn't want to accept his inexplicable kindness, "Thank you, but I don't need it."

He Yihan refused to give up: "After 5 minutes, Director Liu will come to check on the morning reading situation. If you stand here, you will be ordered to suspend class."

The three words "Director Liu" successfully touched Lu Yi's heart. The teacher who killed without blinking an eye was a terrorist who never showed any mercy and turned everything into a big deal.Hesitating to take the little red book, Lu Yi asked, "Don't you need to read it?"

"I've learned it by heart."

"... That's right, I'll pay you back after class." Raising his hand, Lu Yi returned to the classroom in a daze.

After the morning reading, he really kept his word and climbed up to the fifth floor with his books.Thinking of He Yihan going back to fetch things for him, Lu Yi felt embarrassed to forcefully maintain his image of a hooligan.Thanks sincerely, he touched his nose and said, "Well, you can compete with me if you want, but not this week, after school next Friday, the swimming pool is closed, do you have time?"

He Yihan nodded: "Leave me a contact information." After finishing speaking, he turned around in a hurry, took a pen and a notebook from his seat in the last row and went back to the back door, opened the second page and stuffed it into Lu Yi's hands : "Write here."

It was a blank new notebook, and Lu Yi suddenly had a weird feeling of being asked to sign it.

No. [-] Middle School is closed for two days every two weeks, and next weekend will be the holiday. After the last class on Friday, the boarding students return to the dormitory to pack their luggage and leave.

Lu Yi found out the swimming trunks, cap and goggles that he hadn't touched for a long time, and arrived at the swimming pool an hour earlier than the agreed time.

He took out his phone and sent a message, and he went into the changing room to put on his equipment.When he came out, Lu Yi saw that He Yihan was already standing outside with water still dripping from his body, apparently he had just climbed up from the swimming pool.He whistled briskly, and he praised: "You are whiter than my sister, and you have nice abs."

"..."

Lu Yi, who didn't realize that he was talking nonsense, strode towards the swimming pool: "You came early enough, it seems that you are eager to win. How do you plan to compare?"

"I brought a stopwatch, freestyle, 1500 meters."

"One thousand and five?" Lu Yi turned his head and raised the corner of his mouth, "Wait for me to warm up."

He Yihan lost his mind for a moment in his smile, and subconsciously replied: "Okay."

The two of them soaked in the water for half an hour.Although Lu Yi looked carefree, he was actually careful at times. He secretly observed He Yihan for a while, predicting in his heart that he had a higher probability of winning.After all, as we all know, the one with short legs and long arms is the king of the water.

After warming up, the game begins.

When other people in the museum heard that there was something lively to watch, they all spontaneously acted as spectators.There is a swimming team in the school, and the captain Yuan Shuo happens to be there too. He once tried his best to win over Lu Yi to become a sports student, but unfortunately he failed to make such a good thing happen in the end.

But the friendship is still there, Yuan Shuo holds a stopwatch and acts as a guest referee.He thought that the little boy who came out of nowhere would never win against Lu Yi, so he didn't take the game too formally at all, and only provoked his friend: "Old Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are very good!" Let’s step back, but don’t lose too badly.”

Lu Yi slapped his hand away unhappily: "Don't curse me so I won't lose."

Following the command "GO!", He and Lu jumped into the water almost at the same time.Splashes rolled and spread on the track, driving all the way to the other end.Lu Yi was two-thirds ahead, and He Yihan's arm swing frequency was a little slower, lagging behind him.

Yuan Shuo snorted, folded his arms and raised his eyebrows, hesitant to speak.Another thin boy standing next to him couldn't help but said: "Captain, Brother Lu doesn't seem to be as aggressive as before."

Yuan Shuo sighed: "I don't think he has touched water in the past six months, tsk, he's a little bit hung up."

"No, it's only 200 meters."

"Old Lu doesn't have enough stamina... Forget it, just watch."

600 meters.Lu Yi's speed stabilized, and He Yihan still bit him tightly, and recovered a third of his body.The two of them swam so many laps, and everyone gradually understood He's routine—the speed difference between him and Lu Yi on the straight road was not much different, but every time he touched the wall, he could recover a distance of one or two centimeters. There is his accelerator on the wall of the pool.

Lu Yi began to panic.He didn't expect that He Yihan, who looked weak in writing, actually played on the stage, but he should not be underestimated.This feeling of being pursued is too bad... Lu Yi is very aware of his weaknesses, and he regrets that he should have been faster just now to maximize his advantages.

1000 meters, He Yihan overtook!

The team member gasped, hit Yuan Shuo hard, and said dejectedly, "Brother Lu won't really want to lose, right?" Yuan Shuo grinned in pain, "Why did you hit me?"

"Who made you crow mouth!"

"You son of a bitch, do you still dare to yell at the captain?"

The young man ignored him and stared nervously at the two looming figures in the swimming pool. Brother Lu is his god, how could he lose casually.Seeing that he was about to cry, Yuan Shuo comforted him very against his will: "Lao Lu should be able to fight again. Now it's a test of endurance. That little boy may not be able to hold on. Going over may be a dying struggle."

Yuan Shuo's prophecy was only half fulfilled.

At 200 meters, Lu Yi suddenly started to accelerate, and He Yihan, who was originally walking hand in hand with him, was thrown away instantly.The most important thing in the long-distance freestyle competition is the control of rhythm and the distribution of physical strength. Lu Yi's unexpected rise obviously interfered with He Yihan's plan, although the price was that he himself fell into an unfamiliar environment.

This is indeed a bad strategy, but you can't easily admit defeat.Lu Yi took a gamble, betting that He Yihan's explosive speed could not match him.

He won the bet, and He Yihan was forced to speed up his strokes, but he still couldn't catch up with him in a short time.In [-] places, the distance between the two is ten centimeters, there are still two back and forth, and three touches to the wall.

At 400 meters, Lu Yi began to lose his physical strength, which happened every time, and the closer he got to the finish line, the less motivated he was.However, to win, you must win... Gritting his teeth, he just swam forward without distracting the competitors around him.Turning around for the last time, he felt that everything around him became quiet, only the warm water was left to surround him. Lu Yi waved his arms, swimming, swimming, as if even the resistance disappeared, and he and the water melted together.

The next moment, he got out of the water and breathed heavily.

The young boy beside Yuan Shuo looked at him steadily.Lu Yi took off the goggles and found that the opponent's eyes were red. He froze for a moment and laughed: "What's the matter, did I lose?"

"Three points short." Yuan Shuo stretched out his hand to pull him up, "Having no training for half a year, suddenly working hard, you are not afraid of sudden death."

Lu Yi sat by the pool and massaged his calf, he didn't care and said, "It's a competition, how can anyone not work hard?" Turning his head, he raised his chin to He Yihan: "Master He, you are too ruthless."

He Yihan won the game, but there was no expression of joy on his face. He opened his mouth slightly, as if he was about to say something.Yuan Shuo suddenly hugged Lu Yi and choked his throat and cried: "Lu Lu, you have changed, and you will lose. You are no longer our ever-victorious water elf prince."

Lu Yi slapped him away: "Is it disgusting? Don't flirt with your father in broad daylight."

After putting away the laughter, Yuan Shuo's eyes turned to He Yihan, and he glanced up and down, and he said, "What's the name of this little brother? Are you interested in joining the school team? You don't need to study. "

"Don't harm others." Lu Yi kicked him, "You are in the experimental class, you don't need to take the physical examination."

"Tsk, don't interrupt the kids when Dad talks." Yuan Shuo persevered, "I just like the students in the experimental class. They are smart and obedient, so they don't need to be disciplined."

He Yihan said coldly: "I'm sorry, I don't have this idea for now."

"Okay." Yuan Shuo was not too disappointed, he just blinked and gave advice, "Student, stay away from Lao Lu, you can't learn much from this guy..." Before he finished speaking, he was caught The strange calls of the team members around him were interrupted.

Rubbing his red eyes, the team member said to He Yihan in a low voice, "You can't be that transfer student, are you?"

Yuan Shuo was quite interested: "Do you know him?"

"I've heard of it." After staring blankly at He Yihan for a while, the team member asked nervously, "Did you really get sent to the experimental class because of the patented invention? You even got a pass in the self-examination in the class last time." First?"

He Yihan glanced at Lu Yi: "Yes."

"Wow," with his mouth open for half a minute, the team members began to beat Yuan Shuo crazily, muttering in a mess, "Captain, woo woo woo, I met a god, and he's such a good swimmer, vomit..."

Yuan Shuo covered the team member's entire face, and dragged him away: "Haha, I'm sorry, this thing is crazy, play with it, I'll educate him."

Lu Yi got up from the ground, looked up and down He Yihan like Yuan Shuo did before, and finally said: "Nice."

"..." He Yihan couldn't respond to this rude compliment, so he had to change the subject, "Are you still in the water?"

"No, alas, my old arms and legs are about to break, I can't swim anymore, you..."

"Let me treat you to dinner." He Yihan said first.

"Ah?" Lu Yi scratched his head, "For no reason, what should I do?"

"I apologize to you, I didn't know that you haven't touched the water for a long time, and it would be unbearable to swim a thousand and five suddenly."

"Hey, I'm not that fragile, don't worry about it."

"Then this meal is my thanks for your willingness to come and compete with me."

"...Do you still have to invite me together?" Lu Yi was too lazy to twitch any further, "Three Canteen Lanzhou Ramen, San Canteen should still be open at this point."

"it is good."
