water blossoms

After dinner, Wen Hao and You Le parted ways at the door of the bedroom.You Le thought he was going to play in Liu Lang's bedroom, but he actually went to You Mingjie.

The training mission changed suddenly this afternoon, so he couldn't just muddle through it like this. Whether it was punishment or any other purpose, he had to ask clearly.

Knocking on the door of You Mingjie's dormitory, the specifications of the coach's room are different from theirs, a bit similar to a single apartment, with one bedroom, one living room, and a small kitchen.

You Mingjie is a slovenly person, his room is usually messy, but today it is uncharacteristically clean, the room smells of spicy hot pot.Looking over from You Mingjie's side, there was a black induction cooker on the table in the dining room, and a large basin was placed on it, and the bright red soup was tumbling in it.Ye Shuwen was sitting on the other side of the hot pot, facing the door.

"Tour guide, Coach Ye." Although coming here this time is a bit of a questioning, but the place to be polite when meeting people is still polite. In terms of details, Wen Hao usually doesn't allow people to pick mistakes.

You Mingjie ate so much that his mouth was full of oil: "It's just in time for me to open the pot, so I can eat with a bowl by myself."

Wen Hao turned around and went to the kitchen to get a bowl, eating first and then talking.

The dormitory for the coaches is not big, and it would be quite crowded to put a table, so one side of the table is against the wall, leaving just three sides for the three of them to sit on.

Wen Hao is not very good at eating spicy food, but his participation rate has always been No. 1 in the entire swimming team, because eating and playing these things rarely save people's face, and friendship is established when you come and go.

The big pot rolled on the table is called hot pot, rather than braised in a big pot. Goose intestines and duck intestines are scooped up and eaten like noodles. Beef and old pork belly can be picked up two or three slices with one chopstick. The meat dishes in one pot, except Except for the chili, there is no vegetable at all.

And the taste is really good!

The three men stretched their arms and started to work, as if they were afraid that they would suffer if they ate too slowly. Siri snorted and sent it to his mouth. The thick chunks of beef were deliberately marinated in advance, and it was full of flavor when put into his mouth. The key is that it is affordable and delicious. Wen Hao regretted that he had already had dinner.

In desperation, Wen Hao was the first to retreat, the movements of his hands gradually slowed down, and he hiccupped.

Ye Shuwen also put down the bowls and chopsticks, took out two pieces of paper and handed them to Wen Hao, then wiped his mouth, and said, "I happen to have something to ask you, how do you feel after your training this afternoon?"

"Not suitable." Wen Hao sought truth from facts.

"Have you adapted?"

"Do you want me to switch projects? Why?" Wen Hao didn't say a word. He was about to retire soon. As for wasting this effort?

"That's right." You Mingjie still had the beef in his mouth and said inarticulately, "We decided in a meeting to let you try the middle and long-distance freestyle. Anyway, it won't be worse."

Wen Hao twitched the corners of his mouth in pain, feeling the urge to roll his eyes.

Ye Shuwen saw him like this with a smile on his face: "Let me tell you. This suggestion is made by me. I think you are not pleasing to swim short-distance freestyle now. Let's not look at foreign players such as Lin, because there is Liu Lang in China. He Youle stands in front of you. It is not easy to overtake them. I have observed you for several days and found that you are calm and well-planned. It may not be impossible to try long-distance. In short, we will work hard together. There will be a World Championship next year. Try to get you a good ranking."

Wen Hao nodded while listening, wiped off the red oil on his mouth, then looked up at the two coaches, and said, "That's right, I have something I haven't said. I will be a senior when I start school this year. Friends help me." I found a unit for an internship, a great opportunity, and I don’t want to give up.”

You Mingjie frowned, thinking silently.

Ye Shuwen asked: "Even if it is No.1 in a world, you don't want it?"

"It's just a big pie. It's more practical to find a job in a unit after graduation."

"You are really realistic."

Wen Hao smiled and said nothing.He swims well because he has to rely on swimming to support himself, but it doesn't mean he really likes swimming.If he had to choose between ideal and reality, he would only choose the latter.

Ye Shuwen thought for a while, then asked, "What is your unit?"

"A road administration unit."

"The road administration unit in Beijing? Introduced by a friend? Are your friends close enough? Are you studying human resources? You're still engaged in sports. It's not easy to get in."

Wen Hao frowned, not knowing what Ye Shuwen wanted to say, but his tone was a bit subtle.

Ye Shuwen raised his hand to support his chin, and knocked on the table: "Isn't it a year late? Anyway, he is close enough, if he can't do it this time, it will be the same next time." Wen Hao was so irritated by Ye Shuwen's tone that he just wanted to speak when he Listening to Ye Shuwen continued, "The World Championships is only one step away from the championship. Are you willing? After swimming for 17 years in the Olympics, you have never set foot on the field. Are you willing? Wen Hao, you are an active member of the national team , you are only 23 years old, you have more development than you think, you shouldn't be trapped in the land under your feet, don't you want to see the outside world?"

It's hard for Wen Hao to describe the feeling in his heart at this moment, a little disapproving, a little excited, and a faint sour feeling inexplicably filling it, it's a complicated mess.

He didn't know what to say, and it was impossible to change his mind with just a few words. The only thing he could do was to look at the other party silently.

Ye Shuwen stared at Wen Hao's amber eyes, finally sighed, and patted his forehead: "Okay, I'm the one who is in a hurry, you have to think about your future. Do you still remember what we said when we first met?" ? If you want, I will help you."

"Understood." Wen Hao bowed slightly, "Guide, I'll go back first."

"You go..." You Mingjie put down the bowl.

"Don't leave!" Ye Shuwen said, and tapped the table with his fingers, "Eat and drink for nothing, and don't even clear the table? Leave after clearing."

Wen Hao: "..."

I met a strange coach who didn't follow the rules, didn't look at those outstanding athletes, but instead focused on a player who had long since fallen.

Is it because pulling the opponent up from the bottom of the cliff is very fulfilling?

Since he couldn't leave, Wen Hao simply sat back, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and continued to eat hot pot.

Ye Shuwen and You Mingjie also stopped talking about him, but talked about other things.Only then did Wen Hao know that Ye Shuwen studied sports coaching and sports nutrition in the United States. He even followed his teacher as Phelps' sports nutritionist for half a year. In terms of scientific eating and training for swimmers, his Experience is indeed a must for the Chinese men's swimming team eager to return to the world stage.

Ye Shuwen talked eloquently. When referring to his chef certificate, he said that it was something he had "played" with over the years. Because he was interested, he went to learn it and passed the exam.

You Mingjie was very sad about this. With so many retired players from the national team, Ye Shuwen is probably one of the few such handsome people. He is neither in a hurry to get married nor to start a career, but is looking for his own life. Interests and hobbies, life is very free, unrestrained is enviable.

Ye Shuwen just smiled and said, after all, he has a relatively affluent family environment, allowing him to make these attempts.

Wen Hao didn't say a word, he was fascinated by Ye Shuwen's experience in the United States, and envied Ye Shuwen's courage to do whatever he said he wanted to do. Most importantly, he succeeded.

After the hot pot was finally finished, Wen Hao washed the dishes, Ye Shuwen made a cup of tea for himself and You Mingjie, waved to Wen Hao, as if he wanted to continue the chicken soup for the soul.

Wen Hao hurriedly found an excuse to slip away, just joking, it’s okay to have something like chicken soup for the soul from time to time, how boring it is to drink too much!

Leaving the coaches’ dormitory, even in the middle of summer, it’s very hot at night. Since I left the swimming pool, my body has become very sticky, not to mention the feeling of being covered in sweat after eating hot pot. breathe.

Wen Hao couldn't take it anymore, so he went downstairs to buy a bottle of water, but the five yuan bill was swallowed by the vending machine, and a bottle of iced Coca-Cola rolled out from the exit.Wen Hao couldn't wait to open it and took a sip. The cold taste and the momentum of the carbonated drink made him reborn as a human being.

It's actually not that unbearable as usual.

He was just upset.

Are you willing to fall one step away from the finish line?

Not reconciled!

Would you be willing to learn swimming for so many years and be a member of the national team for nothing, but never participate in an Olympic Games?

Not reconciled!

But what if you are not reconciled?

No. [-] in the world!

Is it that easy to get?

Wen Hao found a flower bed to sit down, took another sip of Coke, still in a state of confusion, he thought for a while, took out his mobile phone, logged on to Weibo, and sent a message.

[Old Wang went to the vegetable market to buy chickens, but someone told him that there were plague chickens in the vegetable market today, and suggested him to buy ducks. The plump and energetic big duck looks greedy, but Lao Wang is still thinking about the chicken that he wanted to eat a long time ago .You said, does he buy chicken or duck? ] A microblog opened by an unknown swimmer. There are very few people who follow it, and there are not many wild ones. Most of them are people in the sports circle.This kind of acquaintance has the advantage of following Weibo. They will always ask a question when they see it, which is much better than those inexplicable zombie fans.

[Swimming Youyue: Brother, I have to ask what you want to eat. By the way, I think duck is pretty good. Find time to treat me to old duck soup. 】【Swimming Liu Lang: What about chickens and ducks? Those guys are trying to trick you into buying ducks. Don't think about it, just eat chicken! 】【Shot put Dafei: buy chicken, I love chicken. 】

[Pingpong Luoluo: Brother Lang +1, don't be fooled. 】

[Basketball Emperor: I think it is better to buy ducks. No matter whether the chickens in the market today are plagued or not, the plump spirit of the ducks can be seen. At worst, I will buy chickens in a few days. 】【Swimming Luo Ming: Brain teaser?Can I buy a rabbit? 】【Basketball Ayu: Let’s buy a cow, it’s barely enough to invite people in the courtyard. 】【Swimming Liu Lang: Well, well, just eat cows! 】

……

Seeing that the topic started to go wrong, Wen Hao couldn't laugh or cry, because he had a brain twitch, and talking to these people about what he didn't have, it would be hell if he could come up with useful ideas.

When Wen Hao went upstairs, the trend of this Weibo has changed from serious eating to "eating" in the customary sense, stories about those "ducks" and "chickens"...

Wen Hao followed suit for a while, and suddenly there was a new message in the prompt, so he opened it to have a look.

【Gong Cheng:...】

The author has something to say:

Gong Cheng was reading Weibo, and when he saw Wen Hao's remarks about "chicken and duck", he was furious.

What the hell does this mean! ?When I am a plague chicken! ?What's so good about ducks! ?No matter how fat it is, it's just a dead duck with a tough mouth!

Leave a message to scold him to death!

Uh, what can I say?Doesn't that mean you admit that you are a plague chicken?

Forget it, it's better to take a bubble to show that you exist.

"..."
