"What? Where is Teacher Tong...?"

"At the finish line. He called me this morning, asked about the situation, and said to go directly to the finish line and wait. The 10 kilometers and the half-marathon in our class have passed. There are also a few people in the girls' dormitory. Woolen cloth."

At this time, Ye Li's heart, which was gradually slowing down, started beating wildly again.

"You can go there by car too," Ye Li threw the leftover half of a banana to Su Xiaoqian, "I'll definitely be there within an hour."

"Hey, what are you doing? You still have to run."

"Ah."

"Don't force yourself, it won't work this time, there will be a next time."

"know."

It was still raining, and colorful umbrellas lined up on both sides of the road.Ye Li wiped the rainwater off his face.

The left side still hurts, and the feeling that every part of my body is overloaded is back.At this moment, he couldn't walk a little bit, but he didn't dare to go.Everyone who runs a horse knows this. Once you start walking, it is very difficult to run.

After running a few hundred meters like this, a voice of "Come on, young man" suddenly came from my ear.Ye Li raised his eyes and saw an old man with gray hair running to the left. He didn't see his face, but only saw the vigorous back.

At this time, the roadside was flat, and Ye Li barely ran for a while.There is a big bend ahead, and turning over is the last few kilometers.The bend is a bit sharp, and a bit downhill.Ye Li's speed was very slow, his glycogen had been consumed long ago, his body was already at the end of his strength, coupled with the cold wind and cold rain, as a result, when turning a corner, his right calf suddenly cramped.

He cried out in pain, unable to hold on, sat down and stretched his legs.The calf is as hard as an iron bump, as if protesting against the brain's absurd decision.

There happened to be medical staff nearby, who came to help him stretch.This heart-wrenching twitching sensation came quickly, but it was not so easy to go away.Ye Li stood up and tried to land on his right leg, starting from walking, allowing the calf muscles to adapt slowly.

It might be that the pain of the cramps was more severe, and he could no longer feel the pain in his left abdomen.

At 39 kilometers, when the right calf was still aching, the left calf twitched again.

The body has completely collapsed, and the pace and breathing rhythm are useless.

At this time the rain stopped, Ye Li sat on the ground stretching his legs, but couldn't get up.

He looked up to see if he could see the end arch.

Suddenly, a road of pink and white cherry blossoms appeared in front of Ye Li's eyes.

The wanton blooming cherry blossoms are like a cloud, suddenly floating in the field of vision, stretching to the distance.

For some reason, Ye Li suddenly wanted to cry.

Tong Yan and a group of students were waiting at the finish line. At this moment, three people in the department had completed the entire course.Everyone gathered around to discuss today's game.

"Who else is behind?"

"Ye Li? Can he come down?"

"That's enough. He ran for the first time and only ran 30k twice."

"Well, the weather is so bad today, there's a lot of cramp in the 35 kilometers."

"Several runners who have finished the half-marathon have come over."

"Damn it, the big slope at 30 kilometers is too cheating."

"And Lin Li?"

"I saw Lin Li at the 30-kilometer replenishment station, and she seemed to have cramp."

Tong Yan had never seen Ye Li running, nor could he imagine it.Later, he saw a familiar figure running towards him stepping on the cherry blossoms in the distance. He wasn't sure it was Ye Li, because they said he wouldn't come from the archway.

The man's hair was blackened by the rain, and it was tied in a mess on his head.The whole body is wet, the forearms and legs are glowing with water, and the long and slender muscles are clearly visible, as if they have been stretched.It is an imperceptible force, stubborn and tenacious.

Tong Yan was sure that the master of this power was his student, that 19-year-old boy.

Tong Yan seemed to have seen this power magnified by time.I don't know which girl will be lucky enough to capture him as a student in the future.

Tong Yan laughed at his inexplicable idea in his heart, and took a few steps forward.

Ye Li ran over, his steps were not easy, but he didn't look too painful.It seemed that his eye sockets were sunken in a day, and the bridge of his nose stood out.A pair of dark eyes, deep and transparent, as if soaked by water vapor.

A few people huffed and gathered around, chattering.

"Just now they said you couldn't escape."

"Ye Li is too awesome."

"Just after 35 kilometers, it seemed that he couldn't do it anymore, but he ran down."

Liu Na also came up and said: "I have a tutor in the morning, and I rushed over at 11 o'clock. I didn't expect to catch up with you to the finish line. You are amazing, Ye Li!"

"Come and have some chocolate."

Ye Li only stared at Tong Yan for a while, then lowered his head again, resting his hands on his knees, without saying a word.Tong Yan guessed that he was too tired to speak, so he patted him on the back.

The moment he touched Ye Li's clothes, he found that his clothes were wet, and he was not wearing quick-drying clothes, but just an ordinary T-shirt.Tong Yan was afraid that he would get cold when he stopped, so he took off his suit jacket and put it on Ye Li.

"Take a break, I'll go see if Lin Li is here."

Unexpectedly, just a few minutes later, Lin Li walked over from the other side.She limped this way, saw Tong Yan, and jumped on him.

Tong Yan was startled, and supported Lin Li's shoulder: "What's wrong?"

"Why are you here? Didn't you say you can't come?"

"Didn't you ask me to come?"

Lin Li let go of Tong Yan, her eye circles were slightly red: "Just 30 kilometers away, I suddenly had cramps. I sat down and rubbed for a long time, and I couldn't run when I got up."

Tong Yan said with a smile: "You are very good, you don't see many girls who have finished the half-marathon."

"I've been preparing for a year, just for today." Lin Li's voice was obviously choked up, she lowered her head and quickly wiped away her tears.

Ye Li didn't know that Tong Yanming didn't understand why Lin Li was crying.

"It's okay, we will fight again next year." Tong Yan said comfortingly.

At this moment, Ye Li grabbed a bottle of water and handed it to Lin Li.

Lin Li looked up: "Have you finished running?"

Ye Li smiled and said "hmm".

"Awesome, I had two cramps in my left leg and it completely collapsed."

Ye Li half-jokingly said, "I will definitely not abandon you next year."

Lin Li smiled through tears and asked Tong Yan: "Will you come again next year?"

Tong Yan agreed: "Come on, definitely come. Watching you race horses makes me feel young."

"God, are you old?"

Lin Li shouted, and several people started talking and laughing.Ye Li's heartbeat finally stopped at this moment, and Tong Yan's body temperature was still continuously coming from his body.
