As soon as the two boys finished speaking, they each put on safety ropes and began to rub chalk on their hands.

Coincidentally, at this time, Gu Zhaodi had successfully climbed to the top and fell back to the ground; although He Ying and Lou Xinyue climbed very high, they returned from the original road when they reached the seven or eight meter position because of their weak arms for the first time climbing.

Although the three of them didn't know what happened just now.

But when they saw Tang Guoguo's nervous face, and Chu Mingchen and Wang Jinze's cockfighting posture, they knew that the two of them definitely wanted to have a match and show off.

Needless to say, Lou Xinyue, who is best at screaming and chasing stars, waved her climbing gloves and shouted for Chu Mingchen:

"Chu Mingchen! Come on! It's up to you!"

And He Ying also had the unrealistic fantasy of "Chu Mingchen can win", and while helping him check the safety rope, he encouraged:
"Come on! You can do it, don't worry about the height!"

"Look at you guys!"

Chu Mingchen listened, put on his hard hat, and gave the four girls a winning gesture.

While drinking water, Gu Zhaodi helped Chu Mingchen plan the route, "The fulcrum of the track on the right is easier to grasp, but climbing to the top is much more difficult than the track on the left. You can switch to the left track in the middle section." Speaking of this, she pointed to the middle section of the climbing wall, "However, there is a very small fulcrum there, which can only be grasped with fingertips. You'd better not be preempted by Wang Jinze."

Chu Mingchen raised his head and looked in the direction Gu Zhaodi pointed.

I saw that the difficulty of climbing to the summit on both sides is indeed as Gu Zhaodi said, and there is really a flaky fulcrum in the middle of the right track.

Obviously, Wang Jinze also heard Gu Zhaodi's words, but he was not stingy to help Chu Mingchen popularize rock climbing technical terms and skills:
"It's called the Crimp, and it usually only fits less than a knuckle down. If you can use the second and third knuckles, it's not a Crimp, it's a Jug."

When he said this, he raised his hand and gently grasped the easiest fulcrum, and said with a smile, "This is Jug, also called the big handle."

Seeing Chu Mingchen raised his eyebrows, indicating that he understood, Wang Jinze let out another breath, and said easily:
"To tell you the truth, I actually plan to climb this route, so I won't let you grab that fulcrum first. Let's each rely on our own abilities!"

"Okay! Let's see how capable you are?" Chu Mingchen didn't show any weakness, and there seemed to be a blade flashing in the pupils of Wang Jinze's eyes.

He tilted his head and said to Gu Zhaodi: "You help us time!"

"Okay!" Gu Zhaodi stood between the two with a serious expression, holding a timer in his hand, and shouted, "Get ready!"

In the next second, the two boys had restrained all their expressions and looked at the climbing wall with piercing eyes.Put your hands on the fulcrum you have chosen, step on the fulcrum with the soles of your feet, and wait for the force to be exerted.

Tang Guoguo, who had been watching Chu Mingchen and Wang Jinze compete secretly, was now vacillating between the two boys.

He looked at Chu Mingchen for a while, and smiled at Wang Jinze for a while.For some reason, there was an illusion that two gladiators were going to fight for themselves.

But just when Gu Zhaodi said the word "start" and the two boys climbed to the first fulcrum at the same time, Tang Guoguo shook his head to wake himself up, and stood on the side of his teammates and shouted:

"Chu Mingchen! Come on! Chu Mingchen! Come on!"

I saw two boys climbing on the rock-climbing wall like they were walking on flat ground.

Even He Ying couldn't believe that Chu Mingchen, who was afraid to open his eyes just now because he was afraid of heights, rushed forward so recklessly.And for the next five meters, Chu Mingchen, a real rookie, was as fast as a veteran like Wang Jinze.

But when Mingchen wanted to change to the left track in the middle as recommended by Zhaodi, Wang Jinze seized that crucial fulcrum first.

Just one knuckle away.

Chu Mingchen could even clearly see the magnesium powder falling from Wang Jinze's fingertips, dissipating in the air like smoke.And the three knuckles of Wang Jinze's left hand firmly wrapped around this fulcrum at this moment.And the next moment, Wang Jinze's whole body moved from his upper right to his upper left.But he himself caught a gap, and because there was no support, his whole body quickly fell to the lower left.

Chu Mingchen's heart skipped a beat, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

He was too familiar with this sudden weightlessness.

Although he grasped the fulcrum in time to stabilize his body, he still had to stay where he was because of tinnitus, vertigo and heart palpitations. He didn't take another step up until Wang Jinze reached the top.
Maybe it was because he felt ashamed of losing the game, or because he was annoyed that he had this damn fear of heights. After Chu Mingchen landed, he didn't shake hands with Wang Jinze friendly. He just took off the safety rope and walked towards the boys' locker room.

Even the shouts of He Ying and Lou Xinyue behind him fell on deaf ears.

Tang Guoguo looked worried: "What should we do? Will he be angry with us?"

"Maybe he is angry with himself?" He Ying looked at his receding back, and suddenly felt that under this boy's strong and sunny appearance, there seemed to be an unknown and fragile side hidden.

"Then how should we comfort him?" Tang Guoguo felt that Chu Mingchen competed with Wang Jinze to vent his anger on himself. Now that he lost the match, he also had his own responsibility.

But Lou Xinyue said "Oh": "Let him be quiet for a while! I'm hungry, let's go eat."

He Ying and Gu Zhaodi nodded in agreement.

After talking, they pulled Tang Guoguo to the girls' locker room.

When passing by Wang Jinze, Lou Xinyue still teased: "Handsome guy! Then we'll leave first, and I'll let you crawl slowly here! Bye!"

"Well, goodbye." Wang Jinze was a little embarrassed, but he waved his hands politely, "Next time we have a chance, let's discuss each other."

After changing their clothes, the four girls went to the cafeteria and ordered a few fried dishes.

While waiting for the meal, He Ying told Ye Fangyu about today's situation on the phone.He also applied for Chu Mingchen to cancel his rock climbing training.

"No. It's up to him to face it. He can't run away, so you don't have to worry about it." Ye Fangyu's attitude was very calm, "And starting tomorrow, each of you has to attend classes according to the schedule, and most of the time you are alone. You will also face various difficulties. Do you have to choose to escape every time?"

"I know Teacher Ye."

After He Ying hung up the phone, the food was ready.

The four girls had enough to eat and drink, and after finishing their classes, they went back to the dormitory to follow Ye Fangyu's class schedule and prepare the stationery needed for the next day's class.

Just as the other three were discussing with each other, would it be awkward to go to a college that they had never been to before?When He Ying saw her class location, she sighed heavily.

"He Ying?" Lou Xinyue came over curiously when she saw that she had been silent, and asked, "Which college do you go to tomorrow? Teacher Ye actually arranged for me to go to the Civil Engineering Department of the School of Architecture! This is too unbelievable! I'm a girl, how can I study that major?!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhaodi retorted coldly: "I just majored in civil engineering, am I not a girl?"

"Are you better than a boy?" After Lou Xinyue finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at He Ying again, "Don't be stingy, show us!"

Seeing Tang Guoguo and Gu Zhaodi also approaching, He Ying showed everyone the class schedule in the email.

Lou Xinyue was the first to see the time: "Nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

Gu Zhaodi also calmly read out the professional name: "Chinese painting?"

But Tang Guoguo, when he saw the class location, exclaimed: "The teaching building of the Academy of Fine Arts, are you going to the Academy of Fine Arts?"
