101st April Fool's Day.

"Jason, you're dancing so well, you don't need to sign up for study at all."

At the end of "One Step Away", Molly Evans, a blonde girl in a blue dance skirt, was still unsatisfied, looking up at Guo Xu's eyes and sighing.

"That's probably because I'm partnered with you, I'm playing at a super level." Guo Xu smiled.

Molly leaned very close, and drew circles on Guo Xu's chest with the index finger of her right hand. "Why do I think you knew me before? Have we ever met? ”

"Did you find out? Actually, I know you. Guo Xu nodded.

"Huh? When? Molly asked wistfully.

Guo Xu unscrewed a bottle of pure water for her and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Brentwood Boland Church Middle School." ”

"You're my classmate?" Molly covered her mouth with her hands in surprise, because it was difficult for Guo Xu's face not to leave an impression.

Brentwood is located in southeastern New Hampshire, the seat of Rockingham County, a small area of 44 square kilometers, according to the 2000 U.S. Census, with a population of 3,197, many of whom are neighbors.

Guo Xu took a few sips of water first and lowered his voice: "Because you are two grades older than me, I was short when I first entered the school, not like now." I remember you did a musical show at the welcome party, and you were so much more beautiful than the heroine that day. ”

"Really?" Molly winked at Guo Xu.

The distance between the two has narrowed a lot, women are born to dream, and Molly immediately thinks that this is the person who had a crush on her in high school, otherwise she would not have said her school, she had performed in a musical and dance drama. At that time, she lost to a girl who was not as good as her in the heroine competition, but had a better singing voice, and she was depressed for a long time.

Actually, these things were told to Guo Xu by Molly, this American girl is outgoing and can't hide her words, and now Guo Xu knows what to say to make her happier, although everything will restart tomorrow.

In the time loop, she always fell in love with Guo Xu at first sight, and would take the initiative to ask Guo Xu out to play after the dance class. At first, she complained that Guo Xu always stepped on her feet and asked Guo Xu to invite guests to dinner, but later Guo Xu danced better and better, and she became more clingy.

Guo Xu is an ordinary person, not Megumi Yanashita, he enjoys the woman's initiative very much. The two have known each other for nearly two months, talked about many "one-day loves", and done indescribable things, but Molly can't remember.

Guo Xu didn't go home this night, and Jason Richardson, who was alone in the empty room in the hotel of the pit, was not light, and was called by the team leader and coach for questioning many nights.

Gentle Township, Hero's Tomb. Guo Xu doesn't focus all his energy on love, he knows very well that for Molly, he is just a passerby, and their relationship is like that tango - one step away.

Molly's whole family lives in Polis, she is an only child, she will not leave her parents to develop in other cities, she has no ambitions, and her career goal is just to join a local dance company; And the ambitious Guo Xu will never stay in a city like Polis for a lifetime, he has a higher pursuit.

Because time will reset, Guo Xu has no scruples, he is not afraid of hurting the other party, and he can ask anything directly. When Molly learned that he was a student at Michigan State University, she said, "I don't want it to last forever, I just want to have it."

This word generally has two meanings, one is that mature people who have had a good marriage, but missed it for some reason, failed to get married, and joined hands to comfort themselves and cherish each other's feelings; The second is to live without seeking results, but only enjoying the process.

Guo Xu and Molly definitely belong to the second type, as long as he doesn't learn tango, the two won't know each other......

In addition to Molly, Guo Xu also met many people in other places, and as the number of time loops increased, he played more and more.

On April Fool's Day 101st and 102nd, he practiced dancing, and on April Fool's Day, he chose to play tennis to practice.

Tennis is also a very physically demanding aerobic exercise, and in major open tournaments, evenly matched players are likely to play for three or four hours in a match, even if there is a break every two games, which is still very torturous.

When the tennis serves, the feet bounce up, the higher the hitting point, the more explosive the serve, Guo Xu deliberately practices this kind of serve, exercising bounce and arm strength.

His opponent was not an ordinary man, but a sparring partner who paid a hefty $500 and was a local tennis player named Luke O'Connor, 27, who had played in a Grand Slam tournament.

The four Grand Slam tournaments of tennis are the abbreviations of Australian Open, Wimbledon, French Open, and US Open.

There are 104 direct entry lists for the Grand Slam main event, theoretically the top 104 in the world can enter, plus 8 wild card players, and 16 qualifying players, a total of 128 people participate in the qualifying round, and the top 104 players in the world can only enter if no one retires, but there will be people who withdraw every year, so the lowest in the general qualifying tournament will be around 120.

Luke hasn't won a prize in a competition, and he is already very good at qualifying for the competition. Professional tennis players play amateurs too easily, as long as he draws two sidelines, Guo Xu has to keep moving sideways, and every time he leaves after a fight, he is tired and wants to stick out his tongue like a dog and pant.

Guo Xu improved very quickly, but he still couldn't win a game against Luke, but fortunately he didn't care, his goal was not to participate in a tennis Grand Slam, but to exercise endurance and traversal speed, which is very important in basketball.

On the 104th April Fool's Day, Guo Xu went to Purdue University to play football.

Once Guo Xu and Molly went out at night and met a high school classmate named Rafael Wawrinka, who was admitted to Purdue University, and mentioned that he had lost 8-3 in a football game in the afternoon.

Guo Xu went to Purdue University and successfully found Raphael, and participated in this friendly match between the two classes as his friend, against a second-year student in the same department.

He is much more physically fit than the average student, playing in midfield, either sprinting as a shadow killer or dropping back to help defend. This is the fifth time he has played this game, his skills are average, he is brave, and he is the best runner in the game.

Guo Xu has already understood the opponent's weaknesses and remembered who defended poorly, but the opponent didn't know anything about him, and it was inevitable to suffer. He scored two goals in the opening period, all of which were one-on-one shots after passing people with speed.

After three months of practice, Guo Xu's speed has improved a lot, he has an advantage on the basketball court, and the football field is wider, once he rushes up, no one can keep up with the speed.

At the end, Guo Xu's team won 7-5, Guo Xu scored three goals alone, scored a hat trick, and all the shots were after running wildly.

His stamina has improved even more, the first time he came to Purdue to play, he ended up with a cramp in his right calf, and after today's kick, he ran a lot, but he was like a nobody.

Guo Xu and Rafael chatted and left the court, but several students on the other side still felt very strange.

"Who's that guy? Does anyone know each other? ”

"I don't know."

"I haven't seen him either, he doesn't seem to be from that class."

"I have a question, do any of you have a grudge against him? Why is he working so hard? Aren't we kicking and playing? ”
