Teacher Takeaway - First

I took off my uniform and only wore a cotton T-shirt. I threw the volleyball and waited for the moment the ball fell. I jumped on my toes to catch up with the ball’s landing point. Then I slammed the volleyball with my right hand—the ball quickly flew towards the wall. , Spin and bounce back the moment it hits the wall!

"Very good, very good! You have improved a lot! Come again!" The teacher applauded and praised me, and I grabbed the bounced ball, quickly got ready for the posture, and repeated the serve action!

I know I'm out of shape and don't have any volleyball background; my academics are not consistently top-notch like the rest of the class except for a few specific subjects, but I don't like to throw in the towel either!So I'm going to practice!One time is not enough, I will practice ten times... fifty times, one hundred times!

The four volleyball courts in the gymnasium were packed; most of them were third-graders.Their game time is two weeks earlier than ours.And there are many other people like me practicing serving or throwing the ball against the wall. The entire second floor of the huge gymnasium is full of ball hitting, slapping, and a little shouting.

This feeling of tension can urge me to continue to concentrate on practicing; there are six fields on the other side of the playground, and the rest of our class should practice there, right?

Even so, the teacher is still willing to accompany me to do one-on-one teaching.

"Okay, Youxuan, take a rest."

Teacher Xiaowei is wearing sportswear today, with a light blue background and a few white trims; her hair is also tied into a ponytail, but the wine red highlights are still conspicuous.She put her on my shoulders, and I caught the thrown volleyball, panting and raising my sleeves to wipe away my sweat.

"Didn't you bring a handkerchief?"

By the way, handkerchiefs!I wiped the sweat from the side of my mouth, and took out her handkerchief from the pocket of my pleated skirt.The original lavender aroma has been overwhelmed by my cold dish soap.

"Hey, you're improving so fast, I'm very happy! But starting tomorrow, we won't be able to practice like this."

The teacher looked at me with squinted eyes, and her smile was so sweet; I looked back, although I was happy because of her praise, but I also knew what she meant; one-to-one teaching... can only be until today.

My heart was beating fast, but not entirely from practice serve.The scent of roses in her hair is refreshing and pleasant, and we are close enough to tickle the ends of her hair... The teacher is so beautiful and charming... I am deeply fascinated by the teacher!Although I dare not say it, I really think so!

Such a teacher... I don't want to share it with other students... no, anyone!

"Starting tomorrow, let's have a group training; don't practice tossing the ball during the physical education class, go to the game with Jingyun and the others, try to familiarize yourself with the rules and adapt to the feeling of the game. I will be there to watch you play, don't be lazy oh!"

"I won't!"

"Teacher, I believe you won't." I walked side by side with her to the open space to rest, and her hand moved away from my shoulder, pointing at the wall. "See those marks?"

I wiped my face and looked back at the painted wall; people sweep and mop the floor in the gymnasium every day, which is supposed to be clean, but because the students come and go, the ground cannot be trampled dirty; It rebounded on the ground and got dirty, and then followed my serve to stick to the wall... I didn't notice it just because of the angle of the light, but I can see it clearly after walking a few steps away!

"And this." She took my right hand, which was covered in dust! "This is the proof of your hard work, Youxuan."

I met her smile and quickly understood what Teacher Xiaowei meant. "Teacher, did you hear that?" I shouted in front of Huang Jingyun and the others in the office...

The teacher blinked, her eyes were so warm. "Jing Yun must have said something to irritate you, right?"

I stopped wiping my sweat and looked down at the volleyball in my hand.

"I don't understand... Why did the teacher choose that kind of person as the captain? Isn't Zihan good? Xiao Jiaqi's skills are not bad either!"

I said this as if complaining, and in the noisy space, I only heard her sigh softly in front of me.

"I don't know if you believe it or not, but Jingyun's fighting spirit and inspiring methods are exactly the qualities I want as a captain." I opened my eyes wide, and Teacher Xiaowei in front of me had her hands around her waist, like a supportive teacher. chest-like.She looked at the third grade who was playing a mock game and said, "It's kind of annoying, right? Jingyun's character... is simply a peer of your age, maybe giving her such power is a bit too much, but... Because of such a sentence, Youxuan practiced harder than ever today! Isn't it?"

So is this a teacher's strategy?I bit my lip, although I knew what the teacher said was the truth, but that "fake break" spoke like this... no matter who heard it, they would be upset!

"What did Jingyun say? Can you tell the teacher?"

"She told me to focus! She also said that she has the right to choose who to play! She told me to be careful not to twist my feet when I jumped off the window sill with fake kindness, and said that there are many people who can replace me!"

The teacher listened without saying a word, and patted me on the shoulder comfortingly. "It's a bit too much...well, I'll tell her again; really, there's still a lot to learn about leadership! Jingyun..."

I don't want to revolve around that "fake break" anymore. "Teacher, then our practice tomorrow...I mean after school, how will we arrange it?"

"Well, on this point, I will make an announcement tonight; however, I will definitely start taking you to train basic physical fitness, running, stretching, jumping, etc., passing and serving, you can practice in physical education first. Anyway, after school, we should gather at the playground first, you know?"

The teacher paused for a while, then emphasized. "Let me first say that I will be very strict during the training! At the beginning of school, I was busy with classroom layout and getting to know each other. You were busy getting to know the environment, and I also learned how to be a mentor; now there is one and a half months left before the competition. There are very few opportunities for training! So I hope everyone will seize the time and step up."

Except for facing my former high school classmates that day, it is really hard for me to imagine how the squinting-eyed teacher Xiaowei would be aggressive to the students!But I will work hard, I want to let them know that it is worthwhile for the teacher to take me to practice one-on-one and to choose me as Zihan's substitute!

"For the rest, use your mobile phone to contact! I will recruit students who can participate in the after-school practice to create a new group; well, it's getting late, let's go to eat!"

"Ok!"

***

In the evening, the teacher really pulled up another group, which also put a lot of data that I had seen on Zihan before, even the general training content of tomorrow's physical education class and after school!Including running [-] meters, jumping in place, obstacle running, etc... omg!many!Not counting the skills of tossing and serving!Do these things have to be done within two hours at the same time!Wouldn't it be too amazing!

"Wow! Can you not participate..."

"I can't play volleyball..."

I ignored the wailing of the other two classmates, and swipe the screen silently, trying to digest the training menu mentioned in the group; it also mentioned weight training, what is this?Does our school have a gym?Why do the names of those things look so weird...

"Yes, there is a gym." Huh?Senior sister Yingjia knows! "It's in the basement of the gym; besides the gym equipment, there's the swimming pool."

swimming pool!I'm a landlubber!Just hearing that physical education class may touch water makes me dizzy!No matter, now the focus is on volleyball. "Does sister know what these things are?" I showed her the photos.

"Oh! I know, our badminton club will also do muscle strength training! If you don't train, you will be easily injured when playing sports."

As I listened to my sister's explanation and imagined the hard training process, Chen Tingzhen suddenly roared; I heard the sound of things being thrown towards the desk.That's her cell phone. "We are here to study, not to be volleyball players!"

"But the teacher stipulates that everyone who lives in the school must participate. I am more worried because I have injured my foot before... I don't know if I can bear it?" Yang Yihua also frowned deeply.

"How does Teacher Guan stipulate? All in all, it should be handed over to those who can play volleyball and want to play. Training them is enough. Why do we even have to train?"

"What if someone is injured in the game?" I turned around, and my tone couldn't help raising a few degrees! "Didn't the teacher say that in addition to the six people on the field, the other substitutes are 24 of us? After deducting the students who have no accommodation, the remaining [-] people are the main players who support the combat power; haven't you heard of the eighth class? something?"

"Class [-]... Ah! The teacher just said that."

However, Chen Tingzhen snorted, "The teacher of Class [-] and the class guide used to be good friends, so it's their job to meet on the court now! Besides, among the fifteen people, it is enough to find a few people who can come on the bench! I I don't want to run to the playground!"

I unconsciously feel angry because of Chen Tingzhen's attitude!Doesn't she know how many unkind things that former good friend said in front of Teacher Xiaowei?Besides, this is our own honor!

"You, Youxuan, don't be so angry...Ting Zhen, Ting Zhen is just expressing her opinion directly..." Yihua tried to smooth things over, and even planned to use her thin body to block Chen Tingzhen's fat man!I continued to stare at Chen Tingzhen behind her, still thinking about how to fight back, but the senior sister suddenly joined the battle and said——

"Although I'm not in your class. But I can't help but say, girl, Daohe's school spirit tradition has always been known for its solidarity and cooperation. Many graduates are proud to be Daohe's alumni; perhaps admitted The grades are not as good as Star High School, but don’t forget, this is a private school, and you need to have a considerable degree of financial ability to pass the exam here.”

The senior sister spoke in her usual cold voice, her black and white eyes slanted towards Chen Tingzhen. "If you were once proud of getting Daohe, then you should feel sorry for your irrelevant speech just now!"

Good, good kill!Unexpectedly, a senior who usually doesn't care about others would refute Chen Tingzhen's words so fiercely; even though I hold the position of defending Teacher Xiaowei, I have to admire the righteousness of what the senior said!

"Hmm! I..." Chen Tingzhen's expression was distorted, as if he couldn't get off the stage.

"If you feel that it is not an honor to enter Daohe from the beginning, then please take off your uniform immediately!" The senior sister stood up while talking. "At least me, Youxuan, I think Yihua is too? We are all proud of being a member of Daohe Girls' Middle School. Since this is the case, for the sake of tradition, for the honor and dignity of the class, any negative or even negative behavior is absolutely not allowed. An attitude of indifference; smart people usually just keep those words in their hearts, instead of saying them out loud to make people angry!"

God!Senior sister is so scary... Even I started to sympathize with Chen Tingzhen.

"I see! I just apologize!" She stood up as if she couldn't stand it anymore, and rushed out with her washbasin and toiletries.Does this mean going to a public shower?

Seeing Chen Tingzhen running away, I shivered involuntarily.Senior sister Yingjia just returned to her usual indifference after she finished speaking, and sat back in her seat.

The scene was a little embarrassing, Yihua said a few more words that she would put into practice, and then ran to the shower room.A meaningless quarrel ended.I sighed and prepared to go upstairs with the laundry basket in hand. It contained the uniform I was wearing today, and I sweated a lot from practice...

After one and a half months, I have to wash my uniform and sports clothes every day, right?Maybe I will wear short sleeves again, even if the winter on the mountain will be full of cold.I walked around to the elevator in my slippers and pressed the button for going upstairs.

The entire dormitory has fourteen floors in total, and five hundred students rely on four elevators to go up and down the stairs. Many people in our class live on the same floor as us, which is the sixth floor; ah...there are two elevators on the tenth floor. It's on the top floor, and the other two are on the first floor. I moved and stood in front of one of the elevators going up the stairs and waited.

"Ding dong", the elevator opened, and five people in sportswear walked up to them...Huh?You, You Yating!

It's five of them!They were chosen as starters!It's 08:30 now, have they been practicing since school!

Huang Jingyun walked out of the elevator with the volleyball and glanced at me. "Oh? It's Yang Youxuan? Washed, so fast?"

Even the girls, after a long and strenuous workout, inevitably smell; I could smell the sweat evaporating from their bodies, and several of them were still panting.The white sportswear was dirty, everyone was covered in dust and dirt...

How intense the training they have gone through!

"Didn't you want to do laundry? The elevator is about to close." She looked at me not moving, pointed to the empty elevator, and then walked to their respective rooms without looking back.

The hand holding the laundry basket was trembling, and I stepped into the elevator just before the elevator door was about to close automatically; it was after seven o’clock when I returned from a full meal with the teacher, and spent an hour going to the bathroom and taking a shower, and after the small quarrel just now ...In the end, they just came back from practice!

Yes, although I'm still upset because of Chen Tingzhen's negative attitude, but looking at them... they practiced for so long in a poor field like the playground, and the intensity must be very high!

I clenched my trembling right hand and looked at the mirror in the elevator; did I really...try hard enough?
