"Attention, the women's 3,000-meter long-distance race is about to begin. Please stay away from the track as soon as possible and keep at least two meters away from the track. Please do not stay or walk on the track before the end of the race."
"Notice……"
A few minutes later, the announcer's serious announcement sounded again on the radio, followed by a three-second whistle, which meant that the game was about to start.
All the athletes were ready, with their hands on the ground, squatting half-crouched on the track, ready to go. The referee also came to the track and took his place, looking down at the time on his mobile phone, with the signal gun in his hand raised high and pointed at the sky. It could start any day.
"Everyone, please step back! The competition is about to begin. Please make room for the athletes at the end of the competition. Please do not stay or cross the track!"
Members of the student union were using loud speakers to call on students surrounding both sides of the runway to move back.
As Wang Runxue retreated with the crowd, she looked worriedly at the athletes on the track who were ready to go. She knew that Guzheng was very athletic, but the girls participating in the competition were all tall and strong with long legs. Guzheng's body shape did not seem to give her any advantage, and she was worried that she would lose the competition.
Although they didn't get along for long, she already knew that Gu Zheng was a very competitive girl, and losing was unacceptable to her.
"These girls look so good. Do you think Guzheng can beat them?" Wang Runxue asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, Gu Zheng will definitely win."
Someone quickly responded, but it was not Han Zhou who answered her, but Xiao Xiaoxiao. She had a smile on her face and seemed to be full of confidence in the guzheng.
Han Zhou glanced at her and said with a smile, "Yes, Gu Zheng will definitely win."
"Oh!"
As his words fell, the signal gun went off. The athletes' legs suddenly exerted force, and they flew out like arrows. The second place has opened up a considerable distance, and the gap is still widening.
Everyone was shocked.
Because the person who was far ahead was not the tall junior senior, but the beautiful girl with short hair.
"This is too fast..."
Not only the others, but even Zhou Ting, who was somewhat mentally prepared, was stunned. From the words of Han Zhou and others, she could easily tell that the girl named Gu Zheng must be running very fast, but she didn't expect that she would be so exaggerated. To such an extent, it would be an understatement to say that this speed is crushing.
Of course, this is a long-distance running race, and it does not mean that you will win if you run fast at the beginning. Endurance and physical distribution are sometimes more important than speed. At this moment, many runners are conserving their physical strength and plan to use their strength in the second half of the race.
However, it is not difficult to see from the shocked expressions on their faces that they are also incredible at this girl's speed.
Even if they ran at full speed, they couldn't catch up with the girl in front of them who had already completed half a lap.
"Guzheng, come on! Go for it!"
Wang Runxue shouted with excitement and kept cheering for Gu Zheng loudly, just like an extremely enthusiastic fan, even if Gu Zheng couldn't hear it, she didn't care.
However, she was not excited for too long. She soon became worried and said with a nervous look on her face: "You said the guzheng is running so fast now, won't it run out of strength later?"
She had never done much long-distance running, and the 800 meters in the usual physical test could kill her. However, even though she had no experience in long-distance running, she still knew the importance of long-distance running to preserve physical strength. Even more than twice that, she felt worried, fearing that the second half of the guzheng would weaken and be overtaken by others.
Han Zhou explained with a smile: "This speed has not yet reached the limit of Gu Zheng, and she will not run so fast all the time. After two laps, she will be completely separated from the others and she will slow down."
Both he and Gu Zheng knew that even with Gu Zheng's physical strength, he could not run three thousand meters at a very high speed all the time. This would place a heavy load on his physical strength and body, and Gu Zheng would naturally not do such stupid things. She would slow down as long as victory was assured.
Wang Runxue breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then immediately widened his eyes: "What are you talking about! Isn't this the limit of guzheng?"
Zhou Ting also looked stunned.
"Probably not."
Han Zhou smiled. He vaguely remembered that he had seen Gu Zheng running at full speed. Although he couldn't remember exactly when he saw it, he should be faster than now.
However, according to his observation, what Guzheng is really good at should be strength, and speed is relatively weak. If you only look at the numerical value, Guzheng should not be able to outrun him when running at full strength. The physical attributes given by "Dynamite" are quite comprehensive. Yes, there are no shortcomings.
"This is too awesome..."
Wang Runxue's eyes shone brightly, she looked at Gu Zheng running towards her with admiration, and sighed, "You guys may not be able to beat Gu Zheng, right?"
"You will know after comparing." Han Zhou replied euphemistically.
"The competitions for boys and girls are separate. How can this be compared? But fortunately it is like this, otherwise you boys will definitely lose!" Wang Runxue said proudly.
Zhou Ting smiled awkwardly and reminded in a low voice: "Well... just because one person is good at guzheng doesn't mean that all of us girls are good at it..."
Only then did Wang Runxue realize that she was too complacent. She coughed quickly, put her hands in front of her mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and shouted to the guzheng who ran in front of her: "Come on, guzheng!"
"Come on!" Han Zhou and Xiao Xiaoxiao also cheered loudly.
Zhong Ling on the other side of the runway also wanted to cheer for the guzheng loudly, but she was self-aware of her own volume, so she just waved her arms vigorously.
Gu Zheng, who entered the competition state, was very focused. He still looked calm when he heard the cheers, and he passed by everyone's eyes in an instant.
All her opponents were already far behind. Even the second place was more than half a lap behind her. She planned to slow down after one more lap.
Just when everyone thought there was no suspense in this game, an accident suddenly happened——
Just when the guzheng was about to complete the second lap of the second lap, an eight or nine-year-old child suddenly squeezed in from the crowded crowd. He seemed to be playing with someone. He turned around and laughed, regardless of the scolding and dissuasion of the people behind him. I ran forward and ended up on the empty runway.
"Whose child is this? Didn't you see the competition?"
"Kid, it's dangerous, come back quickly!"
"Bring him back quickly!"
At this moment, most of the students' attention was focused on Yiqi Juechen's guzheng, and many were even recording videos with their mobile phones, so few noticed the child who suddenly broke into the track.
Even if I noticed it for a moment, I didn't pay much attention to it, because almost all the athletes were on the other side of the track at this time and could not run over in a short time.
...But there is one exception.
"careful!"
The students who reacted were shocked and quickly stepped forward to catch the reckless child, but it was too late——
Gu Zheng, who was still running at high speed, had already rushed over.

Chapter 343 Wait and see
"Guzheng, can you tell the teacher why you insist on being number one?"
Gu Zheng has been hearing similar questions since junior high school.
Teachers, classmates, and even parents.
Those who care about her and those who don't care about her, too many people have turned into journalists who are eager for the truth, constantly trying to explore the reasons behind her obsession with being number one and trying to correct them.
And she has answered this question more than once -
"There is no special reason, I just want to get first place."
People want to eat when they are hungry, drink water when they are thirsty, and want to be the first when they are idle and bored. It is as simple as that.
There may have been reasons before, but as time goes by, those reasons no longer matter.
To this day, she will not hide, nor does she need to hide her desire to be number one.
She wants to win, that's why.
If she had to give a more specific reason, it would be that she just wanted to do her best, that's all.
But this world is really strange. It seems that there should be a reasonable motive behind all actions, and this motive must be convincing enough, otherwise it should be wrong.
Just like a person who risked his life and rushed into the sea of fire to save the victims in the sea of fire, if his motive was only to save his private money hidden in the sea of fire, then even if he still saved people in the process, he should have Behaviors that are praised can still be questioned.
For a student with excellent grades, everyone is more willing to hear that he is working hard to change his hometown and studying for his bedridden parents. Once it is heard that he is just trying to make more money to buy a better game console in the future, it is so big. Chances are it will elicit a roar of laughter.
Only flowers that have been packaged are called flowers.
The reason "I want to win" obviously lacks packaging and cannot carry everyone's expectations.
Gu Zheng knew that if she was willing to add a story that made people cry for her competitive spirit... No, it didn't have to be tears, even if it was just a more acceptable reason, she would not be without friends.
But she didn't want to make up a story.
Even when it comes to showing her sincerity, her competitive spirit is still proud and does not allow her to bow to anyone.
There was a blur of light in front of him. As time went by, the light gradually became hazy, from dazzling to soft. Gu Zheng opened his eyes and finally saw clearly the person sitting in front of him - a young female teacher. .
She quickly recognized the other person. This was her junior high school teacher, a very kind teacher who cared about all the students in the class, regardless of whether they were poor students or excellent students.
But she didn't understand why she met her junior high school teacher here?
At this time, the class teacher was looking at her helplessly: "Guzheng, this is just a game, not even a formal game. You don't need to work so hard. What if you are injured and affect the high school entrance examination?"
High school entrance examination...
Gu Zheng was stunned for a moment. This term was already a long time ago for her. Combined with the scene at the moment, a slightly vague memory emerged in her heart.
It was one month before the high school entrance examination. The school organized a visit to the high school of choice. You can visit the high school of your choice in advance and learn about the situation. This is usually to give top students more opportunities to choose. She was naturally asked to go.
It was May, the temperature was already very high, and the sun was scorching, making it particularly dazzling. However, athletes could still be seen sweating on the playground, and several tall boys were running laps on the track.
As everyone was passing by the playground, someone whispered, "I feel like these boys can't run as fast as Gu Zheng." This was heard by a boy passing by, and soon attracted the attention of all the athletes.
The person speaking was a girl. The boys from the high school naturally didn't care about her. They just came over to chat for a few words. The teacher who took Gu Zheng and others to visit the school thought it was interesting. Maybe it was to advertise free enrollment for the physical education class. Or perhaps in order to attract Gu Zheng, the best eugenic in the district, he suddenly proposed with a smile whether to hold a friendly match.
Under the cheers of students on both sides, this friendly match began.
The reason why it was called a friendly match was because no one thought that Gu Zheng could outperform the high school sports students at first. In fact, if it weren't for Gu Zheng's beauty, those sports students wanted to watch her for a while longer. Will not facilitate.
Because it's too bullying.
Are you kidding me? Counting the half year of junior high school, they are high school athletes who have practiced for nearly two and a half years. It would be ridiculous if they couldn't even outrun a junior high school girl, right?
After the boys in the physical education class "passed the buck" among themselves, the task of bullying was given to a boy with a cheerful smile.
The reason why she still remembers the other party's cheerful smile is because Gu Zheng remembers that he said that he would not use all his strength, and if he won in the end, he would let her give the flying letter to him.
She remembers that the other person kept laughing.
There is no suspense, the result of this game is still victory.
Among the countless victories in the past, this was not an impressive event. Gu Zheng finally recalled it, looked directly into the eyes of the class teacher, and replied as he had done many times in the past: "As long as it is a competition, then I will definitely win." Go all out to win.”
"But this is just a friendly match."
The class teacher sighed and reminded with a wry smile, "Didn't you notice that your opponent didn't use all his strength in the beginning?"
"I reminded him before the game started to go all out, and then we competed again. I think I gave him enough respect."
The class teacher had a headache: "I have already found out the specific situation from other students. You don't need to repeat it. What I want to say is that if you really respect that boy, then you shouldn't propose to compete with him again, let alone Beat him in the second game.”
"Once the competition starts, I will do my best to win. This is respect." Gu Zheng said stubbornly, "And I am not the one who proposed another competition."
