Episode 4

Chen Xiaoxi participated in the hurdles to win a birthday gift for Jiang Chen

When Jiang Chen's birthday arrived, Chen Xiaoxi was happy and sad at the same time. She didn't know what gift to give Jiang Chen.Lin Jingxiao walked around the mall with Chen Xiaoxi, but she couldn't pick out a suitable gift because she had no money.

The school held a sports meeting. Because the students did not actively participate, the physical education teacher used his trump card to provide incentives to the students. The prize for participating in the hurdles was a watch.Chen Xiaoxi, who was originally listless, suddenly became energetic when she heard the watch, and she made a small calculation in her mind. If she participated in the hurdles and won, she could give the prize to Jiang Chen as a birthday present.

Lin Jingxiao also signed up for the hurdles. It turned out that Lin Jingxiao and Chen Xiaoxi came here for the prizes. A few days ago, she received a letter from her father and learned that he was going to return to China, so she wanted to give a gift to her father whom she had not seen for a long time.Of course, she didn't tell anyone the reason.

In the bookstore, Chen Xiaoxi was reading the comic book with gusto. The picture Jiang Chen saw when he came in was the picture of Chen Xiaoxi smiling happily.Chen Xiaoxi's smile was inexplicably contagious, and Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.Chen Xiaoxi raised his eyes and saw Jiang Chen smiling sweetly at him. Jiang Chen looked away awkwardly and picked up a book next to him.Seeing Chen Xiaoxi continuing to indulge in the comic book and smiling carefree, the corners of Jiang Chen's mouth curled up unconsciously.

At this time, Lin Jingxiao came over and sat next to Xiao Xi and threw her a book about hurdles. Chen Xiaoxi asked Lin Jingxiao why she signed up for hurdles.Lin Jingxiao said carelessly that because of Liu Xiang, Jiang Chen happened to be leaving the bookstore at this time, and Chen Xiaoxi's attention was attracted away.​

Jiang Chen seemed to have a magnet on his body, and Chen Xiaoxi always stuck to it unconsciously.Chen Xiaoxi came up to talk and asked Jiang Chen what book he was holding. Jiang Chen said expressionlessly “Study your book”.Chen Xiaoxi couldn't hide her smile and was a little shy. The next second she saw the title of Jiang Chen's book - Abnormal Psychology - her girlish shyness was completely shattered.

Chen Xiaoxi was very motivated and practiced hard for the hurdle race, but she was already behind at the starting line compared to Lin Jingxiao. Lin Jingxiao was a hurdler, while she was a push hurdler.When Wu Bosong saw Chen Xiaoxi, he offered to teach him how to hurdle. However, as a good swimmer, he knew nothing about hurdles. However, in order not to lose face in front of Chen Xiaoxi, Wu Bosong said that he would start with theoretical knowledge and secretly copied the hurdle knowledge from the book on his arm.superior.Wu Bosong practiced hurdles with Chen Xiaoxi every day and was scolded by the coach for delaying swimming practice.

On this day, Lin Jingxiao was practicing on the playground. Wang Dazhuang came over and said that he wanted to compete with Lin Jingxiao. Wang Dazhuang accidentally tripped Lin Jingxiao and caused her to fall to the ground. The school doctor said that she had a serious foot injury and could not participate in the sports meeting.

In the evening, Chen Xiaoxi called Jiang Chen and reported to him what happened to her in the past few days. Chen Xiaoxi was chattering on the other end of the phone and wanted to tell Jiang Chen all the fun things. Jiang Chen put the phone on the pillow.While listening quietly, the word “um” popped out from time to time.Jiang Chen and Chen Xiaoxi, who had grown up together since childhood, were accustomed to each other being within reach of each other's lives. All the little beauties of youth were quietly recorded in such time.

Lu Yang told Chen Xiaoxi about Lin Jingxiao's father. In view of Lu Yang's previous conduct, Chen Xiaoxi did not believe what he said.Lu Yang went around looking for someone to participate in the competition for Lin Jingxiao, and finally found Jiang Chen and wanted him to persuade Chen Xiaoxi to help Lin Jingxiao participate in the competition.Chen Xiaoxi happened to overhear the conversation between the two and learned about Lin Jingxiao's participation in the competition for her father. She hesitated whether to help Lin Jingxiao.

Lin Jingxiao told Jiang Chen that Chen Xiaoxi was participating in the competition for his birthday gift and asked Jiang Chen to help train her.With Jiang Chen's help, Chen Xiaoxi's confidence greatly increased. Although Chen Xiaoxi had made great progress after training hard for a while, her level still remained at the push hurdles.In the end, Jiang Chen had no choice but to come up with a countermeasure to let Chen Xiaoxi just hit the barrier and win with speed.

At the sports meeting, with good friends cheering for her, Chen Xiaoxi successfully won the championship and got a watch.Chen Xiaoxi gave the watch to Lin Jingxiao, but when she opened the box, she found a pink diamond-encrusted women's watch inside. Chen Xiaoxi and Lin Jingxiao looked at me and I looked at you, and looked at each other with a smile. Now both of their wishes were fulfilled.It couldn't happen, but the experience was unforgettable for all of them.

After the sports meeting, there was a class meeting to be held, but Lin Jingxiao wanted to see her father, so Jiang Chen suggested that she climb over the wall from the south gate.Under the cover of everyone, Lin Jingxiao climbed over the wall, but got a big cut in her pants.School doctor Lin happened to be passing by and handed her his newly bought shirt to tie.

On the way home from school, the five-person group laughed and laughed together. Lu Yang sent Lin Jingxiao a text message asking her not to be sad and wait until he has money to buy a watch for her father.Lin Jingxiao looked at Lu Yang who was playing with them in the distance. She knew that although Lu Yang was timid and small, he was sincerely good to her.

On the bus, Chen Xiaoxi asked Jiang Chen why he didn't ride a bike today. Jiang Chen said that his shoulder hurt.As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiaoxi leaned over and looked at his shoulder worriedly.Jiang Chen's face turned red unconsciously because of Chen Xiaoxi's sudden approach. He turned his head unnaturally and gently pushed Chen Xiaoxi's head back with his hand.Lowering his head, Jiang Chen saw Chen Xiaoxi's hair on the clothes on his chest. Jiang Chen licked his lips and curled up the corners of his mouth.Some things quietly changed over time between Jiang Chen and Chen Xiaoxi.
