Perhaps because it was convenient for him, the small golden brooch that had been causing trouble for Shen Ge was very obedient in Chi Yi’s hand and was easily pinned on Shen Ge’s school uniform in just a few moves.
Mission accomplished.
Chi Yi took Shen Ge’s coat again, and rubbed his head when he stood up.
Chi Yi didn’t react at first, until Shen Ge held his hair and said to Chi Yi in an annoyed tone, “I’m not Da Fu!”, Chi Yi realized that he had gotten used to it, and that his action just now seemed a bit gay.
This is a bad habit, I have to change it in the future. But Shen Ge’s hair is so soft, and it is said that people with soft hair have good tempers. When Chi Yi crossed over, he secretly touched the hair of his original body, and it turned out that it was hard like his, with a naturally stubborn temper and didn’t like to suffer losses.
Chi Yi quietly made up his mind. Shen Ge was too embarrassed to look Chi Yi in the eye due to shame and anger, so naturally he didn’t know what he was thinking.
Shen Ge went to wait in the backstage. Chi Yi picked a crowded place beside the runway and stood there, glancing at his phone from time to time, preparing to call his parents to cheer him up when the time was almost up.
As the first two groups finished running, the people in the next two groups began to get nervous. Chi Yi was lucky that he had not forgotten to ask his parents to help him get a few bottles of water and tissues when he called them. He had forgotten about it when he went to the radio station just now.
By the time Shen Ge and his friends stepped onto the track, the parents of both families had just come over with their belongings and were standing still, nervously waiting for the race to begin.
Seeing his parents coming over, although Shen Ge was nervous, he still smiled at them with two dimples. When Shen’s mother saw this, she waved happily to her son.
”Bang!”
Shen Ge was the second runner. Seeing his classmate rushing out immediately, the distance between him and another classmate gradually widened. He had to constantly adjust his mentality, took the baton and ran forward, trying to narrow the gap created by the first runner!
”Come on, Shen Ge!” Shen’s mother had a loud voice, and she drowned out the voices of all the students around her, including Chi’s father and mother. Chi Yi even heard someone asking which class Shen Ge was from.
Although Shen Ge was running as fast as he could, the others were running fast. Seeing that Shen Ge was about to reach three-quarters of the way through the halfway point, Chi Yi couldn’t help but cup his hands like a trumpet, put them next to his cheeks and cheer Shen Ge loudly: “Shen Ge, come on!”
Chi’s father and mother’s voices could not match those of the two, so the clever Chi’s mother took out a small flag she had secretly made with the names of the two children printed on it from her bag, and stuffed the flag with Shen Ge’s name on it into Chi’s father’s hand: “You are tall, raise it and wave it faster!”
Father Chi hasn’t done such a thing for many years. The last time was before he started his business. Their factory won the tug-of-war with another factory, and he held up a banner and waved it to show off to the opposite factory.
Chi Yi glanced at the two flags with his and Shen Ge’s names printed on them, and his toes subconsciously curled up, feeling embarrassed for himself and Shen Ge.
When Shen Ge heard the cheers coming from the starting points of the two tracks, he didn’t care about anything else. He took a deep breath and sped up to run towards the starting point. He successfully handed the baton to the third runner, then stopped and stepped aside.
Chi Yi watched Shen Ge take small sips of the mineral water handed to him by Chi’s mother, and guessed that he should not have seen the small flag in Chi’s father’s hand just now, but it should be soon.
Chi Yi was praying for Shen Geshe when Shen’s mother suddenly handed him a bottle of water.
Chi Yi didn’t understand what was going on, so he unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it back, but Shen’s mother pushed him back again: “Silly child, I gave it to you to drink, why did you unscrew it and give it back to me! Look at the scorching sun, and you just shouted so loudly, so I told you to drink some water to soothe your throat.”
Oh, so that’s the case. He thought Shen’s mother couldn’t open it.
Chi Yi took a sip, looked at Mother Shen’s red cheeks, and handed the water over: “I just took a sip, you should drink some too, your face is getting red from the sun.”
Shen’s mother was stunned when she heard this, and then she happily took out a thermos cup that she had used for many years from her bag: “You drink it, I brought my own water. A bottle of water costs two or three yuan, and your father and I don’t have to run. This tea was made when I went out this morning!”
Mother Shen unscrewed the thermos cup, used the lid as a small teacup and poured a cup for Father Shen: “This cup has been used for too long, and the heat preservation effect is not as good as before. But it’s a good thing it’s not working anymore, otherwise the tea would still be hot and I wouldn’t be able to drink it.”
Mother Chi glanced at Mother Shen’s thermos cup, and some nostalgia emerged in her eyes: “Oh, is this thermos cup brand from that thermos factory? I used to work there, and the quality of the thermos bottles at that time was really amazing. I heard that some of the thermos bottles on the market now will explode after being used for a long time.”
Mother Shen’s eyes lit up, as if she had found a common topic: “What a coincidence! This thermos cup was an excellent award given to Old Shen and his friends at the end of the year many years ago. It was not cheap back then.”
The parents were chatting eagerly, in a corner where no one was paying attention, Shen Ge looked at the small flag with red background and gold letters in the color of a silk banner, which broke quietly.
Goodbye, mother. I am sailing away tonight.
