Chapter 20 [One Step Away]

April Fool's Day 101.

"Jason, you dance so well, you don't need to register for study at all."

At the end of the song "One Step Away", Molly Evans, a blond girl wearing a blue dance dress, was still unsatisfied, and looked up at Guo Xu's eyes and sighed.

"That's probably because I'm working with you, and I'm performing well." Guo Xu said with a smile.

Molly approached very close, and circled Guo Xu's chest with her right index finger. "Why do I think you knew me before? Have we ever seen him?"

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

"Ah? When?" Molly asked hopefully.

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

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

Brentwood is located in the southeast of New Hampshire, USA. It is the county seat of Rockingham County. It is a very small place with an area of ​​44 square kilometers. According to the 2000 US Census, there are 3,197 people in total. Many of the students at Boland Church Middle School 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 school, not like I am now. I remember you performed a musical drama at the welcome party. That day you were much more beautiful than the heroine."

"Really?" Molly blinked at Guo Xu.

The distance between the two has been much closer. Women are born with dreams. Molly immediately felt that this was someone who had a crush on her in high school, otherwise she would not have told her school that she had performed in musical and dance dramas. At that time, she lost to a girl who was not as good as her but had a better singing voice in the heroine competition, and she was depressed for a long time.

In fact, these things were told by Molly, that this American girl is extroverted and can't hide her words. 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 to go out for fun after the dance class. At first, she complained that Guo Xu always stepped on her feet and asked Guo Xu to treat him to dinner. Later, Guo Xuwu became better and better, and she became more clingy.

Guo Xu is an ordinary person, not Liu Xiahui. He enjoys the woman's initiative. The two have known each other for nearly two months and have talked about "one-day love" many times. They have done indescribable things, but Molly can't remember them.

That night, Guo Xu never returned home again. Jason Richardson, who was alone in the hotel where he was trapped, was very careful. He was led by the team at night many times and the coach called him to ask questions.

Gentleman's hometown, hero's tomb. Guo Xu doesn't focus all his energy on falling in love. He knows very well that for Molly, he is just a passerby, and their relationship is like that tango dance music - a step away.

Molly's whole family lives in Polis. She is an only daughter and 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 troupe. And the ambitious Guo Xu will never be able to stay in a city like Polis for the rest of his life. He has higher pursuits.

Because time will be reset, Guo Xu has no scruples and is not afraid of hurting the other party. He can ask for anything directly. After Molly knew that he was a student at Michigan State University, she said, "I don't ask for eternity, but I just want to have it once."

This usually has two meanings. One is a mature person who once had a wonderful marriage, but for some reason, he missed it, failed to get married and worked together, comforted himself and cherished the relationship with each other; the second is to live without seeking results, and only enjoy the process.

Guo Xu and Molly must belong to the second type. As long as he doesn't learn tango, the two will not know each other...

In addition to Molly, Guo Xu also met many people elsewhere. As time cycles increased, he played more and more things.

On April Fools' Day, he practiced dancing, and on April Fools' Day, he chose to play tennis and exercise.

Tennis is also a physically consuming aerobic exercise. In large open games, even players who are evenly matched are likely to play 3 or 4 hours in a game. Even if there is a rest time every two games, it is still very tormenting.

When serving a tennis ball, your feet bounce upwards. The higher the hit point, the more explosive the serve. Guo Xu specially practices this serving to exercise bounce and arm strength.

His opponent is not an ordinary person, he hired a sparring training for a high price of $500. The local tennis master named Luke O'Connor, 27 years old, participated in a Grand Slam event.

The four major tennis slams are the abbreviations of the Australian Open, Wimbledon Open, French Open, and US Open.

There are 104 rosters directly entering the game in the Grand Slam. Theoretically, all the top 104 in the world can be entered, plus 8 wild card players, and 16 qualifying players. There are a total of 128 people participating in the qualifying match. If no one withdraws from the game, only the top 104 players in the world can enter, but there are people who withdraw from the game every year, so the lowest qualifying match will be around 120.

Luke has never won the prize in the competition, and it is already very awesome to get the qualification to participate in the competition. Professional tennis players are too easy to play amateur players. As long as they draw two sidelines, Guo Xu has to keep moving sideways. Every time he leaves after the game, he is so tired that he wishes he sticks out his tongue and breathes like a dog.

Guo Xu made rapid progress, but he still couldn't win Luke in a single game. Fortunately, he didn't care. His goal was not to participate in the tennis Grand Slam, but to exercise endurance and horizontal movement speed. The horizontal movement speed is very important in basketball games.

On April Fools' Day, Guo Xu went to Purdue University to play football.

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

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

His physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary students. He plays in the midfield, and he can sprint as a shadow killer or retreat to help defend. This is his fifth time playing in this game. His skills are average, and his victory is brave. He is the most capable person in the game.

Guo Xu already knew the opponent's weakness, remembered who had a poor defense, but the opponent knew nothing about him, so it was inevitable that he would suffer losses. He scored two goals at the beginning, all relying on speed to dribble and hit a single shot after passing the ball.

After practicing for three months, Guo Xu's speed has increased a lot, and he has an advantage on the basketball court. The football field is wider. Once he rushes, no one can keep up with the speed.

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

His endurance has improved more significantly. His first time in Purdue to play, he had a cramp in his right calf at the end. After playing today, he ran a lot, but he was like a person who was fine.

Guo Xu and Raphael left the stadium while chatting, and several students from the other side still felt very strange.

"Who is that guy? Does anyone know him?"

"I don't know."

"I haven't seen him before. He doesn't seem to be from that class."
