Swimmer of Rebirth

The next day Liu Yang woke up before 6 o'clock, it was still dark outside, and Zhang Tukai next to him was also soundly asleep, so he quietly washed his face and went for a morning run.

There is a big flower bed right in front of the hotel, and next to it is an asphalt road for driving. It is about 200 meters around the flower bed. Liu Yang started jogging close to the outermost circle.

This morning he was going to participate in two preliminaries in a row. Normally, he should preserve his physical strength and nourish his energy, but he had something on his mind and couldn't sleep well all night.

This time I came to Japan, within two days, the game and the relationship collided. The game made him nervous, and the relationship made him tangled. Xinji shouldn't pick this time, the game is already enough to make people anxious, but now it is more anxious and anxious.

But fortunately, Liu Yang's self-regulation ability is very strong. After running at an even speed for a while, his head began to clear up. There are benefits, so I finally decided to leave it like this for the time being.

After 6:[-], more and more athletes from various countries came out for morning exercise on the road, so Liu Yang stopped and prepared to go back. It happened that a foreign athlete whose name he knew was walking out of the hotel gate.

Kerry Jones was wearing a loose orange sportswear, a white towel was hung around his neck, and he was wearing a forehead protector. His body was a little sweaty. He must have practiced in the hotel gym first. earlier than him.Shuxiangmendi [Dark Fragrance Shuying] Kerry was deeply impressed by Liu Yang. He lost inexplicably in the group match, which made him find the video and watch it several times after the match.

Liu Yang took the lead all the way from the beginning of entering the water. Although he overtook after turning around, he still lost in the end.

Although it was just a group stage, it was fine to enter the preliminaries, but he was still troubled all day by not being able to qualify as No.1 in the group stage.

Seeing Liu Yang, Kerry was stunned for a moment, not knowing what expression to put on for a moment.

Liu Yang was okay, he nodded and smiled.

Kerry smiled back reflexively, and asked casually in English, "Are you ready to go back?"

Kai Rui spoke quickly, with a little local accent between the words. Seeing Liu Yang blinking with an expression of incomprehension, Kai Rui pointed to the location of the flower bed and raised his eyebrows.

Liu Yang suddenly misunderstood, thinking that this person invited him to run in the morning, and nodded out of politeness to accept the invitation. After all, it is still early before dinner, and even if he goes back, he will just sit in the room.

Kerry nodded and walked a few steps forward. When he turned his head, he saw Liu Yang still following him. Only then did he realize that the difference in language made the two people's understanding erroneous.

It wasn't a big deal, and Kerry naturally stopped explaining, and gradually picked up his pace and started running.

After running for a while, Kerry asked Liu Yang, "Can you speak English?"

Liu Yang nodded, "Yes, as long as you speak slowly." In fact, Liu Yang can not only speak some English, but also a little bit of Japanese. The foreign language teacher who came to teach them some daily spoken English such as greetings and directions, plus the first official overseas competition, for a serious person like Liu Yang, he still put in some effort.Of course, he is not a language genius, but he just bought a Japanese tape and listened to it several times, which is a little bit more than others.

Kerry smiled, and with the frequency of running, his cheeks kept agitating. He let out a long breath, and then said, "Your 100-disc score is very good, but unfortunately you won't be divided into a group today."

He spoke very slowly, and Liu Yang probably understood what he meant, and felt a little relieved. It is something to be proud of being praised by the enemy, so he smiled a little embarrassedly, "Thank you, your grades are also very good. Well, do you know Ryan?"

"Lyan?" Jones stopped suddenly, staring at Liu Yang with blue eyes, frowning tightly, looking very serious.

Liu Yang also stopped and nodded, "Yes, Ryan, the third group player in the group stage, the results are very good."

"I was also surprised by Ryan's appearance." Jones showed a helpless expression, "I have been paying attention to the athletes of the same period in the United States, but I have never heard of this player named Ryan."

"Secret weapon?" Liu Yang concluded.

Kerry shrugged, noncommittal, and jogged again, and Liu Yang naturally followed suit.

The two of them did not speak for three consecutive laps, but when the third lap reached the hotel entrance, Jones suddenly apologized and left quickly.

Liu Yang quickly forgot about this episode, and went to the swimming pool to prepare for the competition after breakfast.

As I said at the beginning, most of the time since 100 is arranged at the front, so Liu Yang reported to the swimming pool to warm up and prepare for the group stage.

Swimming competition lane division has to follow a procedure from the preliminaries, which is internationally accepted, No.24 of the 1 selected players is arranged in the fourth lane of the third match, and No.2 is placed in the fourth lane of the second match , No.3 is in the fourth lane of the first game, and No.4 is arranged back to the fifth lane of the third game, and so on.

Liu Yang's performance in the group stage was very good, and his luck was also good. He entered the final with 4th place, and was arranged in the fifth lane of the third game, next to No.1 in the group stage, Matsuda Shoji from Japan, the host .

Competing in Japan gives these Japanese athletes a great geographical advantage. They will not be acclimatized and have more opportunities to get familiar with the field.

Of course, as players from other countries adapt, their advantage will become smaller and smaller, but at least they can still maintain this advantage in the preliminaries.

After the first two games, Liu Yang took a look at the results of the last game that had not disappeared on the big screen. Ken's results were even better than the last group match. He must have adapted to Japan. The environment of this island country and the atmosphere of the game.

Liu Yang is obviously at a disadvantage in this area. Sichuan is located in the interior of China, where there is no sea water at all, and the air tends to be dry. In addition, the famous frequent small earthquakes in Japan make him somewhat uncomfortable.

Fortunately, human beings are a species with strong adaptability. Liu Yang believes that if he is given another day, he will be able to fully adjust himself.

This person is also afraid of what to do, so they called everyone to take their positions, and when every player got on the diving platform and made a good posture, Xiao Zhen came again, only to hear the sound of splashing into the water one after another, including Liu Yang, 8 A total of 4 athletes fell, accounting for half of the total. The game was suspended and the rest was adjusted for 2 minutes.

Liu Yang went ashore, and when he wiped the water with a towel, he saw Yao Ye lying on the railing of the stand and laughing, looking gloating.

Liu Yang really wanted to point his middle finger back, but when he thought about competing abroad, don't get into the headlines of some country's sports edition tomorrow, so he just gritted his teeth and gave Yao Ye a fierce look.

Yao Ye's eyes are quite good, and he could see Liu Yang's hidden movements clearly from a distance, so he raised his palms and made a gesture of surrender, but his face was playful and insincere.

Two minutes later, when the timeout was up, Liu Yang stood back on the diving platform, took a deep breath, exhaled it again, and bent down to get ready to start.

With the beeping sound, he jumped into the pool.

After entering the water and not swimming twice, Liu Yang let out a groan.

The memory of the earthquake just now was playing repeatedly in his head, and his body seemed to be shaking. Although it would not delay the speed of his strokes, the water felt terribly shallow, always feeling uncomfortable and illusory.

Swimming races are races where every second counts, and a small mistake could have fatal consequences.

Although Liu Yang adjusted quickly, especially after the 50-meter turn, the feeling of fatigue due to physical loss appeared to make the water feel more real, but the previous mistakes were irreparable, and finally hit the shore with the third place in the group.

Faced with the results on the big screen that were more than one second slower than in the group stage, Liu Yang sighed heavily.

Whether it can be selected for the semi-finals is immediately promoted to the current priority.

Liu Yang quickly changed his clothes, and as soon as he came out, he could see Yao Ye leaning against the wall of the passageway waiting for him.

Liu Yang stood still, feeling a little apprehensive, and walked up slowly.

Yao Ye and the others approached, and with a hook of their arms, they hugged the person tightly into his arms. He probably felt something was wrong again, so he backed away a little.

This hug, Liu Yang immediately understood it as comfort, and kept echoing in his head.

"Don't be sad, the results of your group are generally not good, probably affected a little bit, and four players were eliminated." Yao Ye patted Liu Yang on the shoulder, showing a faint smile.

"Eh!?" Liu Yang was taken aback, "Four, so you mean I made it to the semi-finals?"

"Well, but the ranking is not very good. At No.11, the lane is too far away, but fortunately, you still have a chance to win the lane back in the semifinals."

Liu Yang blinked, and his face gradually darkened, "Then what kind of face did you have just now? Why are you hugging me to comfort you? Have you made a mistake of being funny again, Young Master Yao? Are you kidding me about this?"

Liu Yangyue said that Yao Ye was getting more and more confused, "I'm trying to comfort you, this swimming lane is so embarrassing, let me do the math..." Yao Ye raised his head and began to count, "It has to be in the second round. What about Qi Dao." After finishing speaking, he suddenly realized, "Hey, you don't think you can't even make it to the semi-finals, do you?"

Liu Yang raised his eyebrows and then smiled, the two people's emotional thoughts were not on the same line at all.

Yao Ye glanced left and right, then suddenly lowered his voice and whispered next to Liu Yang's ear, "I have always believed in my Yang Yang, not to mention the semi-finals, at least I have to get a brand, right?"

Liu Yang's eyelids twitched, and he was almost numb to death by the sentence "My yang yang." He cast a sidelong glance at Yao Ye, and woke up his throat, "Be careful of the impact."

"Be careful." Yao Ye grinned, hooked Liu Yang's shoulder and walked out.

Walking all the way, Yao Ye never let go of his hand.

Looking at the ignoring gazes around him, Liu Yang had to think that it is actually good for men to fall in love with men, especially in this youthful and passionate world where hooking shoulders and backs is normal enough that there are dozens of them in a glance. That's right, everyone has reached the point of turning a blind eye.

When they arrived in the team, both Ye Shuwen and Wang Yaxin had depressed faces, and patted him on the shoulder to express comfort and sympathy. Liu Yang also poured out his grief and indignation in due course.

The coach who led the team even ran over to enlighten him, telling him not to burden himself and adjust his state as soon as possible for the next game.

Liu Yang naturally nodded in agreement, looking obedient and obedient.

Since the end of the 100, there will be men's and women's competitions in women's group B and group A, followed by backstroke and breaststroke competitions, giving Liu Yang enough time to rest, which is why he dares to participate in two competitions at the same time.

Didn't get a good rest last night, got up early again in the morning, plus the tossing just now, Liu Yang started to feel sleepy after a while.

He glanced left and right at Yao Ye and Ye Shuwen listlessly, and finally leaned on Ye Shuwen's shoulder.

"Sleepy?" Ye Shuwen asked, sitting up straight so as to lend him some strength.

"Yeah." Liu Yang nodded and closed his eyes.

Yao Ye glanced this way, was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Don't lean towards Ye Shuwen, he will have a match later, come to my side."

Liu Yangxu stared at this serious face, and then thought about his unconscious guilt, and without making a sound, he stretched his waist and fell onto Yao Ye's shoulder. Inhaling his scent in his nose, the corners of Liu Yang's mouth curved slightly.

In fact, they all know that it is impossible to fall asleep in this kind of arena. The so-called sleep is nothing more than closing your eyes and resting your mind.

Although Yao Ye was very reluctant to see the sweetness of Liu Yang leaning on his shoulder, but seeing the fluttering eyelashes and slightly frowning brows, he finally opened his mouth to report to the coach and took Liu Yang to the lounge to rest.

There is a lounge in the swimming pool, which is hard to find in the provincial swimming pools in this era in China. After all, it has no reason to exist. The team members have dormitories nearby. Let's go, so Liu Yang really forgot about this.

After asking all the way, he entered the waiting room with his competition certificate, and lay on the small bed safely, and within a few minutes, Liu Yang fell asleep.

It wasn't long before he fell asleep, and he opened his eyes in about half an hour, and saw that Yao Ye was still sitting on the sofa next to him reading a magazine, so Liu Yang propped himself up and asked him, "Didn't you say you were leaving? ?”

Yao Ye raised his head from the magazine and asked in surprise, "Why did you sleep for so long?"

"I'm a little sleepy. If I wasn't too sleepy, I probably wouldn't be able to fall asleep in the first place."

Now that Liu Yang is awake, Yao Ye will naturally stop reading these magazines. He can't understand English magazines at all, so he throws them aside and concentrates on talking to Liu Yang, "This is not good. Sleep is the most restorative. You must get more sleep."

Liu Yang nodded, "I usually like to sleep when I'm in the team, but I can't do it when I'm outside. It's easy to get nervous when sleeping in a strange environment. By the way, you haven't answered my question yet."

"I originally planned to leave, but the competitions outside are not interesting, so I might as well accompany you." For someone like Yao Xiaoye who is used to participating in large-scale competitions, this kind of competition for second-tier athletes is really not suitable for his old man. His eyes, so that sentence is true, but unfortunately Liu Yang can still hear Yao Ye's hidden meaning from it even if he understands it.

Being pampered and spoiled by others, he used to seldom mind it. He would always think that Yao Ye was using his senior status to take care of him as a junior, but it is different now. Yao Ye spat it out of his mouth as if he was talking about love, it was as rich and sweet as fragrant butter.

Liu Yang's face began to heat up, his ears buzzed, the atmosphere seemed to be dyed in color, and the charming pink color began to float in the space.

Looking at the newly awakened eyes full of mist and reddish cheeks, Yao Ye's eyes turned dark instantly.

Being watched by Yao Ye, Liu Yang's enthusiasm increased a bit.

Then Yao Ye stood up and walked towards him slowly with an oppressive momentum.

Liu Yang swallowed his saliva, and unconsciously drifted his eyes to the closed door, thinking that a kiss should be fine, right?

Yao Ye approached, bent down, looked down at Liu Yang who was still sitting on the bed, and stretched out his hand.

The heartbeat of 'dongdong' was loud and deafening, Liu Yang straightened his back and raised his chin.

Yao Ye touched his face with his outstretched hand, then pinched him hard, and grinned, "What are you thinking about?"

"Eh!?" The charming atmosphere disappeared without a trace like a balloon inflated to the extreme with a bang.

"Do you dare to think about it here? Do you remember where this is?"

"Damn!" Liu Yang completely despised Yao Ye's timidity in his heart, got up angrily, wiped Yao Ye and walked towards the door, and as the door opened, he suddenly realized that his anger was really unreasonable After all, this place is really unsafe, so he turned around and shook his chin at Yao Ye, who was still smiling by the bed, "How about going to the training pool to swim with me? I didn't feel good in the water before, so I'm good at it." Get back to where you are."

Yao Ye chuckled and joked, "What if you don't have swimming trunks?"

"Wear underwear."

"Don't mind, the underwear color is not good today, why don't you swim naked?"

"As long as you dare!"
