Chapter 7 Power
In the afternoon, the weather started to overcast and the weather forecast predicted that there might be rain tomorrow.

This is really good news for the freshmen of Licheng High School. For two and a half hours in the morning, the training in the military posture made the students miserable after a summer vacation.

The hot sun made people dizzy, sweaty, and the standard motionless posture of standing at attention made every muscle of the students feel tense and tired.

The canteen with the air conditioner turned on at noon became a paradise. The food that was not very appetizing yesterday suddenly became delicious.

Under the watchful eyes of the instructor, everyone was eating in suspense. In the cafeteria, only the sound of chopsticks scraping the plate and the whirring of the air conditioner could be heard. It was no longer as noisy as yesterday.

Lu Yuan finished his meal in a short time. Although the training in the morning was hard, for Lu Yuan who had been working for a summer and delivered deliveries by bike every day, standing still was really nothing.

Lu Yuan quickly finished eating, packed up the plate and sat on the stool to wait for others, the instructor asked the whole class to eat together and leave together.

At this time, he noticed that there was still a pile of food left on the white leaf plate sitting diagonally opposite, and his chopsticks had been put down. It seemed that the food in the cafeteria was not to his liking.

"Hey, would you like some chocolate?"

Lu Yuan took out a chocolate bar from his pocket, put it on the dining table and said to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye gave Lu Yuan a sideways look, but ignored him.

"I still have to train in the afternoon, I will be hungry."

Lu Yuan also said that the chocolate bar was given to him by his mother before he came to school, for fear that he would be hungry during the military training.

Bai Ye looked at Lu Yuan, then at the chocolate bar, and said, "It's melted."

Lu Yuan was taken aback, and stretched out his hand to pinch the packaging of the chocolate bar, it was soft, it seemed that it was melted by the sun in his trouser pocket.

However, Bai Ye still took the chocolate bar, and there was training in the afternoon, and the school's canteen was closed, so it would be hard not to eat.

"Thank you." Bai Ye said lightly.

Lu Yuan grinned and said nothing.

........................

Noon is the rest time, everyone can move freely, Lu Yuan returned to the classroom and wanted to lie down on the table to rest for a while, but Ge Yiming insisted on dragging Lu Yuan to the toilet.

Going to the toilet was fine, but Ge Yiming didn't want to go to the nearest toilet in class 19, and insisted on going to the toilet at the other end of the corridor.

"Slow down, slow down, you walk slowly."

While walking Ge Yiming pulled Lu Yuan to tell him to slow down.

"Why, which class has a girl you like?"

Lu Yuan saw through Ge Yiming's little thoughts at once, and knew that there must be a class with beautiful girls.

Ge Yiming, who was dismantled, was a little embarrassed, and said: "Where is it? I saw a girl in class 22 with a very good-looking back when he was standing in a military posture. I want to verify whether his front face is worthy of the back."

"The back view again, last time you said that the girl sitting in the fifth row with a good-looking back..."

In the middle of Lu Yuan's speech, Ge Yiming immediately stopped him from continuing, because it brought back bad memories for him.

At this time, the two had already reached the door of class 22, Ge Yiming dragged Lu Yuan to slow down.

Ge Yiming shook his head as he walked, pretending to look around, and from time to time glanced at Class 22 through the window from the corner of his eye.

During the military training, everyone was wearing military training uniforms, and it was camouflage green as far as the eye could see. Lu Yuan wondered if Ge Yiming could find that girl with a good-looking back, but don't be a back killer anymore.

After Class 22 and arrived at the bathroom, Ge Yiming grabbed Lu Yuan's hand and said, "I see, I see! Sure enough, I can't escape my sharp eyes! The girl sitting in the middle of the third group! Damn, she's so beautiful! She's so graceful Jinghong, graceful as a swimming dragon, glorious autumn chrysanthemum, lush spring pine..."

Excited, Ge Yiming couldn't help but began to recite Luoshen Fu. Lu Yuan couldn't bear him anymore, so he hurriedly told him to stop, saying: "It's really beautiful, so go back and watch it again, I still want to go to sleep."

He said so, but he was also a little curious in his heart. Class 22 is a quality class. Only the students with the best grades in the high school entrance examination can enter. If they are really beautiful, they can be regarded as both talented and beautiful.

Unlike the sneaky Ge Yiming, Lu Yuan walked to the corridor of class 22, looked inside openly, and fixed his eyes on the middle of the third row.

Sure enough, there was a girl with black and long hair. She lowered her head, but when Lu Yuan glanced over, she seemed to notice it, and couldn't help raising her head to look out the window.

The eyes of the two met, and Lu Yuan saw the girl's appearance.

It doesn't seem to be as good-looking as I imagined. The forehead is covered with thin bangs. The eyes are not too big, the nose is small, the skin is very fair, and the mouth is gently pursed. The lips look a little plump. Overall, it is more lovely and delicate, and it is far from beautiful. There is a distance.

"Hey, hey, did you see it? I didn't even dare to look at it. It would be terrible if I was found out."

After class 22, Ge Yiming, who was following Lu Yuan, asked.

Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "It's average, it's quite cute."

"Fuck, Lu Daxia, are you too high-sighted? This is just average, so cute?"

Ge Yiming couldn't believe his ears, the surprise in his eyes became normal in Lu Yuan's mouth, he suspected that one of his IQ and Lu Yuan's aesthetics must have been insulted.

"Everyone has his own love for radishes and vegetables!"

Lu Yuan didn't continue to entangle with Ge Yiming, but thinking about it carefully, that girl seemed really cute.

.....................

In the afternoon, the military training continued, and the training program has become walking in unison.

No need to stand in a military posture anymore, and the cooler weather made the afternoon training a lot easier.

Li Qiang divided the students into eight groups, five people in each group to practice. Because Lu Yuan was taller, he was grouped with Bai Ye and Dai Haoran.

While the rest of the other groups practiced, Lu Yuan's group sat aside to rest.

After experiencing the one-on-one duel at noon yesterday, Dai Haoran lost his temper when facing Bai Ye, and his eyes and tone of conversation were a little more cautious and reverent.

Bai Ye was still indifferent, every time Dai Haoran wanted to chat with him, he would answer with one or two words, making it impossible to continue the conversation.

"Hey, the principal said that there will be a selection for the basketball team's rookies, will you participate? You will definitely be selected if you go."

Dai Haoran brought the topic to the selection of the school basketball team, which finally aroused Bai Ye's interest, he thought for a while and said: "I definitely want to participate, but if they are all at your level, it's not interesting to join this basketball team. "

Dai Haoran smiled awkwardly, Bai Ye's words were a bit hurtful, but he was not angry.

After returning home yesterday, Dai Haoran watched the video of the two heads-up several times. The more he watched, the more he felt that Bai Ye was unfathomable.

"Hey, Lu Yuan? You jump so high, why don't you take part in the selection?"

Dai Haoran turned the conversation to Lu Yuan on the other side, and Lu Yuan was staring at the large white clouds covering the sun in a daze, when he heard Dai Haoran's words, he turned his head and asked, "Is basketball really that fun?"

In the past two days, matters related to basketball kept intruding into his field of vision, recalling the feeling of his heart surging yesterday when he watched Dai Haoran and Bai Ye single-handedly, Lu Yuan's curiosity was aroused.

Dai Haoran hadn't spoken yet, but Bai Ye said, "Of course it's fun. Not only is it fun, but it can also make money."

"Is your family short of money? Why do you always think about making money?" Lu Yuan asked back.

Bai Ye was momentarily at a loss for words, and Lu Yuan beat her back with a stick when she had prepared her words.

Seeing Bai Ye stopped talking, Dai Haoran continued: "Actually, you can earn money, and you can do it now. Anyone who joins the basketball team will receive food subsidies every week and sports subsidies every month. If they win the game Rankings, the school also has scholarship awards. Like those who entered the national competition and got rankings, the association also has bonuses. Last year’s champion bonus was 150 million, and there are tens of thousands distributed to each player.”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yuan's eyes straightened.

Yesterday, I heard Bai Ye say how many millions he earned in the NBA. Although he was amazed, he is not stupid. He knows how easy it is to earn hundreds of millions of dollars, so he can just flirt in his heart.

Dai Haoran's words today are real, not to mention the 150 million, the weekly food allowance and monthly allowance are enough to attract people.

"Yes, I also heard that if you join the basketball team, even if you enroll in special sports, you can cancel the school selection fee and return it." Bai Ye added.

He didn't know where he heard this, and Dai Haoran was also a little confused. This was the first time he heard about the refund of the school selection fee.

"Really? Can the school selection fee be refunded?"

Lu Yuan's eyes widened even further. If he was a little moved just now, he is almost persuaded to participate in the selection for the basketball team.

What Lu Yuan was most concerned about this summer vacation was that his senior high school entrance examination scores passed the admission threshold of Licheng Middle School, but he did not pass the admission threshold. He needed to pay a school selection fee of 2 yuan to study in Licheng Middle School.

Of course Xu Qian took out the 2 yuan without hesitation, but Lu Yuan was sad about it for several days.

Not only do I feel sorry for the money, but I also blame myself for not getting more points in the exam to save my mother some money. After all, every penny earned by the family is not easy.

Because of this incident, he gave up his leisurely summer vacation, chose the hardest courier job, earned more money to subsidize his family, and relieved some of his inner guilt by the way.

Seeing Lu Yuan's excited look, Bai Ye said again: "The principal told me about this, believe it or not, it's up to you. If you want to join the basketball team, maybe I can help you."

At this time, after the practice of the other groups was over, Instructor Li called a few people to get up and practice walking in unison, and the rest time was over.

Lu Yuan stood up and wanted to say something to Bai Ye, but Bai Ye ignored him.

........................

In the walking practice in the afternoon, Lu Yuan did not perform very well. He was either out of step with his classmates, or the instructor told him to stand still and he still walked forward alone. He obviously had something on his mind.

"Ya Eryi, Ya Eryi, Ya Eryi... Stand! Lu Yuan!"

Li Qiang shouted slogans, stopped suddenly, and shouted Lu Yuan's name.

"What's the matter, Instructor Li?"

Lu Yuan was still confused, not knowing what happened, but saw other students laughing.

Li Qiang said with a serious face: "What's the matter with you, Lu Yuan, can you tell the difference between the left and the right?"

Lu Yuan said, "Of course we can tell the difference."

"I can tell you come out, think about how you walked forward just now."

Lu Yuan stood up, took two steps according to the feeling just now, and found that something was wrong, he kicked his left foot, and what he stretched out was his left hand, it was the same hand and foot!

It seemed that he was distracted, and walked in a straight line, Lu Yuan smiled embarrassedly, and the students around him laughed from ear to ear.

Li Qiang didn't punish Lu Yuan, but asked: "Lu Yuan, you have something on your mind. You didn't perform very well in the military posture this morning, and you didn't have any problem walking forward before. What's on your mind? Did you see a pretty girl?"

When Li Qiang asked, everyone laughed again, Lu Yuan quickly shook his head and denied: "No, no, that, didn't the principal say that the basketball team recruited new students that morning, so I thought, should I sign up."

Hearing what Lu Yuan said, Li Qiang said: "Why, do you want to play basketball? Yesterday you said you can't play basketball. It's okay, young people, there are opportunities to choose, don't think twice, sign up if you want to get in!"

Lu Yuan wanted to tell Li Qiang that he joined the basketball team mainly for subsidies and school selection fees, but he was too embarrassed to say so, so he asked, "What if I don't get in."

Li Qiang said to Lu Yuan seriously: "You have to remember that people can accept failure, but they can't choose to give up easily. Do you know who said this?"

Lu Yuan shook his head.

"That's what a great basketball player said."

Lu Yuan nodded again.

He didn't know who this person was, but from his words, Lu Yuan felt the strength.
