Chapter 156 Youth
On the bus, Lin Jin picked up the microphone again and introduced the customs and customs of Lingnan City to everyone.
Listening to her reciting long paragraphs of content found on Baidu Encyclopedia, the players from Dongchuan Middle School cheered: "Sister Lin, you are really becoming more and more like a tour guide!"
Lin Jin laughed: "I think you are right. You can't just come to participate in the competition. I hope you can learn more about the customs and customs of the competition place..."
Then she told everyone that their accommodation this time was in the Asian Games Village in Lingnan City.
"Oh, last year it was an Olympic Village, but this year it was downgraded to an Asian Games Village... The organizing committee can't do it!" Hu Lai kept saying weird things, causing everyone in the car to laugh non-stop.
Lin Jin didn't take it seriously and laughed too.
I even feel a little nostalgic - the same was true for Dongchuan Middle School last year, a group of fledgling teenagers, everything they saw was new, but they didn't have so many rules, and they were full of energy.
In the eyes of some people, these teenagers are naughty and noisy, perhaps not stable enough, and unlovable.
But in Lin Jin's view, this is exactly what makes a boy a boy. Isn’t that what youthful vitality is supposed to be like? Unrestrained and fearless.
Young man, why should you be so steady?
If you do things and say things calmly and think twice before you act, are you still a teenager?
They're just a bunch of little adults in teenage skins, right?
Lin Jin didn't know what others thought of the young man pretending to be mature, but she hated it and didn't like it.
Isn’t this repressive nature?
So when the players from Dongchuan Middle School made a fuss in front of her, she was neither angry nor worried, nor would she stop them. Instead, she let them do it with a smile.
After all, as someone who has stepped into society, she knows very well that being able to live such an unscrupulous time will get worse day by day.
Youth is like a wave, rushing towards the sea and never coming back.

After a two-hour drive, they arrived at the Asian Games Village in Lingnan City, where the national competition was held collectively.
Although the venue has changed, the accommodation has also changed from the Olympic Village to the Asian Games Village. However, the performance of Dongchuan Middle School players who have already participated in the competition is indeed different from last year. The temperament they displayed makes people know at a glance that this is a school team that has participated in the national competition before, and it is by no means the first. First time newbies.
It is true that no team is participating in this year's national competition for the first time.
Accommodation is still randomly assigned, but this time without Luo Kai, no one cares who Hu Lai ends up sharing a room with.
In the end, Hu Lai and Meng Xi lived together - Meng Xi still remembered that Hu Lai said last year that he didn't snore when sleeping, so he moved with someone else.
The person who originally lived in the same room as Hu Lai was a freshman in high school. The senior in high school wanted to change rooms, so of course it was impossible to refuse.
After everyone settled down, they gathered for dinner. On the way, the sophomore and junior high school team members took the opportunity to teach the freshman high school students how to get a seat in the cafeteria - as for where there is a cafeteria, where there is a supermarket...etc., Lin Jin told them everything in detail on the way to the dormitory.
Sister Lin is still the same Sister Lin who looks like a tour guide.
In the cafeteria, the players from Dongchuan Middle School unexpectedly met an "acquaintance."
"They are from Xizi Middle School..." Just after finishing their meal and returning to their seats to prepare for the meal, the players from Dongchuan Middle School recognized a group of people coming in from the door. "They entered the national competition again this year. It seems that the level of football in Western Yuan is really not that good... How can such a school participate in the national competition every year..."
"It's actually Xizi Middle School?" The first-year high school players also cast their eyes curiously.
Before they joined the team, they basically knew something about Dongchuan Middle School's performance in the national competition, but they knew very little about things outside of the competition. So what exactly happened in the national competition became the main topic of chat in the locker room and training field.
Naturally, everyone knows about the grievances between Xizi Middle School and Dongchuan Middle School.
They looked around, hoping to find Wang Le inside.
"No need to look for it, Wang Le has quit the team." Mao Xiao said. "He was a senior in high school last year and quit the team after completing the national competition."
"That's such a pity. I still wanted to go up and say hello to him." Meng Xi snorted.
The entire team was staring at them. How could the players from Xizi Middle School not feel that they were being targeted?
They looked over and saw the players from Dongchuan Middle School.
But what disappointed the Dongchuan Middle School players was that no one from Xizi Middle School came forward to provoke them this time.
After they recognized the identity of the players from Dongchuan Middle School, they all looked away and went straight to the queue to get their meals.
Obviously he didn't want to cause trouble.
"Boring!" Meng Xi curled his lips upon seeing this.
He thought that after Xizi Middle School was eliminated last year, he would hold a grudge and come to take revenge on them this year.
As a result, the other party obviously didn’t mean this...
"Okay, okay, don't cause trouble." Yan Yan told his team members. "Hurry up and eat. After eating, we still have business to do. I have already inquired about it. There are several football fields in the Asian Games Village. One of them is relatively remote and far away, so there are few people going there. We will go there then. Go over there.”
As soon as they heard what the captain said, the others stopped paying attention to Xizi Middle School and started eating.
Indeed, compared with the troubles caused by Xizi Middle School, what they have to do next is more important.
※※※
After eating, the players from Dongchuan Middle School, led by captain Yan Yan, marched through the Asian Games Village to a football field surrounded by a small forest.
This side is indeed more remote and more deserted.
But this is exactly what the Dongchuan Middle School players want - they just don't want to be disturbed.
On the court, everyone formed a big circle, and vice-captain Hu Lai stood in the circle.
He was saying to his teammates: "Has anyone seen a show like 'Super Transformation'?"
About a third of the team raised their hands.
"In general, our celebrations are similar to those on this show. I call this celebration 'fishing'. Specifically, the person who scores the goal pretends to be fishing, and then finds someone to pretend to be the fish being caught... ”
While talking, Hu Lai demonstrated to his teammates what fishing movements were and how the fish should act - he was seen lying on the ground, with his hands behind his back, his legs clamped, rolling sideways on the ground, with some fluttering. The movement is really like a fish struggling on the ground...
A group of teammates were stunned, but they couldn't help but want to laugh.
Meng Xi smiled and said: "Hu Lai, I don't think we should find anyone to play the fish. I'll fix you. This acting and action... you can win an Oscar!"
"Yes, yes." Yan Yan also nodded repeatedly: "I don't think there is anyone in the whole team who can act like a fish like you. I would like to call you the 'acting master'!"
"I play a fish? What if I score a goal?" Hu Lai disagreed.
"Oh, didn't you have your signature set of celebration moves when you scored a goal? Don't tell me, the more you do that set of moves, the more proficient you are, and you look more and more handsome." Yan Yan wanted to let Hu Laixin play the fish , I dare to say such unconscionable things.
But it really worked. After he said this, Hu Lai didn't care about letting him play the fish.
※※※
The laughter of the teenagers spread from the stadium to the woods, and also reached the ears of the two people here.
Team leader Teacher Liu and head coach Li Ziqiang looked at each other.
They were attracted by the movements of the players, and were afraid that such a large group of people would cause trouble, so they secretly followed them and wanted to come up to see what was going on.
Especially when I met the players from Xizi Middle School in the cafeteria...
Who would have thought that what they saw here was this scene.
"Coach Li, what are they doing?" the team leader, Teacher Liu, asked in confusion.
"It seems... you are practicing celebrations?" Li Ziqiang was not sure.
"Celebration?" Teacher Liu was even more surprised, "What kind of celebration requires the whole team to do it together?"
He looked at Hu Lai flopping on the ground, suddenly thought of something, and asked hurriedly: "Then Hu Lai... isn't he teaching his teammates to flop? Does he mean to look like this after falling to the ground? How can I deceive the referee and make him play the card?”
Li Ziqiang was speechless - was this boy's image already so unbearable in the head teacher's mind?
He quickly shook his head: "No, Teacher Liu. It should be a group of people practicing celebrations. You can see that Shen Yulin looks like... fishing..."
"Fishing?" Teacher Liu turned his attention to Hu Lai, who was still flopping on the ground. He had rolled to Shen Yulin's feet. "So Hu Lai..."
"He is a fish." Li Ziqiang sighed, then turned and left. "Let's go back, Teacher Liu, there's nothing to see."
"Oh, okay..." Teacher Liu chased after him and looked back at the court again.
Hu Lai had been picked up from the ground by several players, and they just let Hu Lai lie in their arms.
Then he smiled at a half-crouching player in front of him, gave a thumbs up or made a "V" gesture, as if he was...taking a photo?
Behind him, Hu Lai's voice came faintly: "That's it...be careful...before catching the fish, everyone's expressions should be focused and serious, and don't laugh..."
Teacher Liu sighed in his heart and shook his head. He was getting more and more confused about today's children. (End of chapter)
