[Competition] The Road to Champion of the Seventh Prince of the Dragon Palace

This voice is nothing in a crowded swimming pool, no one can hear it at all.But that voice came from Ao Ling's ear, which made his mind buzzing, and he was stunned.

He turned his head and was facing a distorted face, the kind that could be filmed in a thriller on the spot.

He Jiaxuan glared at him viciously, his cheeks trembling with anger: "Let go let go let go!!!"

Ao Ling followed his gaze and looked down, only to suddenly realize that what waterline she was grasping in a hurry was clearly He Jiaxuan's arm.

He immediately let go of his hand, and saw that He Jiaxuan's arm seemed to be hit by some martial art, leaving a row of bright red finger marks.

The two looked at each other, Ao Ling's face was changing, and finally he pretended to be calm and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..."

He Jiaxuan gave him a ferocious look, as if he was not satisfied with his perfunctory apology.

Ao Ling pointed to the big screen: "The results are out, congratulations on getting another... silver medal."

As soon as He Jiaxuan raised his eyes, the person in front of him quickly sank into the water, passed through several swimming lanes with a whoosh, and reached the edge of the pool.

He glanced at it in disbelief, and then he used his hands and feet to climb ashore, and thought to himself why he didn't go to the Olympics if he had the ability!

Little Dragon Cub panicked and ran to the side of the two senior brothers, feeling that no matter it was on or off the court, he could hold the hatred between the two brothers firmly.

Through his own efforts, Li Sichen finally won a gold medal, holding it in his palm like a treasure, and he didn't forget to show it off in front of everyone in their dormitory, as if the person who was dying to give up on himself two days ago was not him.

Of course, he did not forget to thank Ao Ling. Without the latter's encouragement, he would not have had the opportunity to win the gold medal in the relay race with everyone.

As long as he can perform normally, the subsequent 4x100m medley relay is nothing to them. The three kings took a bronze and once again pushed the two talented teenagers of the "Dream Team" into the swimming pool friction.

When accepting the award, Ao Ling made faces at the two brothers very cautiously, and did not forget to give He Jiaxuan a thumbs up in return - he has won six championships, more gold medals is amazing!

Not only the twin brothers, but the four team members in Province R were so angry by him. One of them pointed at him and said, "No, just get a few gold medals, and compare the overall ranking with us if you have the ability."

The overall ranking is based on the sum of the rankings obtained by the provincial teams in the participating events to calculate the total points. The top three will be awarded trophies, and the top eight will be issued a certificate.

This is really incomparable. The number of participants has already crushed them, covering all age groups and various events. They have taken away more than half of the gold medals, and the rest of the events that have not won gold medals have also won a bunch. Silver and bronze medals.

How can this be compared, the total points of the remaining four teams in the top five are incomparable to them.

At this time, another team member from Province R laughed contemptuously: "Whoever takes this shitty game seriously, we are here to play, unlike people from some small places who come out to see the world."

This person happened to be the one who swam the breaststroke in the medley just now, Qi Yi glanced at him with disdain on his face: "This is my defeat."

Four words are worth a thousand words, so angry that the opponent rolled up his sleeves and wanted to rush up to fight, but was stopped by his teammates.

"It's because our skills are inferior to others," He Jiarui only stared at Ao Ling, "See you at the National Swimming Championships in three months' time!"

Ao Ling waved her hand into a beckoning cat: "Goodbye!"

The three-day schedule ended successfully. In addition to four individual events and two relay gold medals, Ao Ling also won the first place in the freestyle and butterfly all-around, becoming the athlete who won the most gold medals in this National Youth "U Series" Championship .

He noticed something was wrong when he walked out of the swimming pool. Men, women, young and old, everyone would look at him when they passed by, and when they met his gaze, they would smile at him. Women The kids waved to him, ran up and asked him blushing if they could take a photo together.

Ao Ling hurriedly cooperated, trying to put on a sincere smirk.He has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and even when he fakes a smile, he is cute. I don’t know which team’s little girl is not satisfied after taking pictures, but even wants to add him on WeChat.

Ao Ling is not very good at rejecting others, especially the good-looking young lady, who was about to take out her mobile phone from her bag, when suddenly a strong force grabbed the strap of his backpack and pulled it back: "Hurry up! The whole team is waiting you."

Ao Ling turned around, and found that Director Fu's face was as cold as an old popsicle just taken out of the refrigerator, and he was still breathing slightly.

Back at the hotel, an uncle wearing glasses walked up to him and greeted Ao Ling with a smile: "Young man, do you want to train with me?"

Ao Ling remembered that he was the one who talked to Fu Xingtu in the last row of the stands last time. Director Fu was not very happy during the chat. all morning.

"I don't want to." Ao Ling shook his head, refusing very simply, not at all interested in finding out who the other party is, and where exactly is the "where am I" that the other party said.

The man was taken aback for a moment, as if he couldn't believe that someone would not accept the olive branch he threw out, especially this kind of fifteen or sixteen-year-old kid who was eager to get ahead.

"Why?" He asked Ao Ling.

Ao Ling straightened her slightly thin chest: "I'm a player from Province C, and my coach is Fu Xingtu. I'm not going anywhere."

Fu Xingtu happened to come over at this time, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised an arc when he heard Ao Ling's words, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Impolite" He slapped Ao Ling on the back, seemingly very hard, but in fact he didn't exert any force at all, just like what he said, it sounded like a reproach, but the tone was not harsh, "You Do you know who he is, how dare you refuse him."

Ao Ling shook his head ignorantly: "I don't know."

The man laughed loudly, and waved his hand again: "It's okay, I'll find out later, remember, my surname is Song."

Ao Ling nodded, saying that she remembered, but she was thinking in her heart: "No matter what your last name is, I will not go to your place to train."

In general, the leaders of the Sports Bureau of Province C are quite satisfied with the results of this National Youth "U Series" Swimming Championships. Although there is still a huge gap compared with strong swimming teams like Province R, relying on Ao Ling , Qi Yi, and Liang Fan performed at a dominant level in the 15-year-old age group short-distance event. They not only reached the goal of the top eight set by the leaders before the competition, but also broke into the top three!

Among them, Ao Ling is naturally the one named and praised by the leaders the most, "young genius", "unlimited potential", "war to fame", "Olympic reserve army", "focus on training talents", "Fu Xingtu's successor"...

Hearing the last sentence, the Seventh Prince frowned, um, why is he Fu Xingtu's successor again, how many successors does Fu Xingtu need?

Complimentary words rushed to his face, and the little dragon cub was dizzy and a little flustered. He didn't understand, how could these middle-aged and old humans be so easily satisfied?Director Fu is different, and they haven't praised him as "good" until now.

In this regard, Liang Fan had a very incisive summary, saying: "Boss Fu always uses himself as a standard to ask us, of course he doesn't like everything."

Ao Ling felt that what he said was right, but not completely right. Ever since he read Fu Xingtu's encyclopedia that night, he felt that this is the proper way to hold the male lead script in his hand. The real strong man is strict with himself according to his standards. There's nothing wrong with asking.

The great success of the "U Series" competition made the leaders of the Sports Bureau feel more face. When the leaders were happy, Shen Xingguo was also happy. With a wave of his hand, all the provincial team members who participated in this competition were given a two-week holiday.

Director Shen is indeed an old coach with decades of work experience. The time is just right, exactly 14 days, the time limit for muscles to be fully relaxed without starting to fade.

The teammates were packing up their things and preparing to go home. Ao Ling took his ID card with his home address on it, and took six gold medals for himself. There was always one that the old mother liked. Why don't you take it home and show it to her? look?

Ao Ling made a phone call to the other party, feeling uneasy and expectant.The moment the call was connected, he was a little awkward again: "I came back from Q City, won six gold medals, and also won the first place in the main event."

"Really?" I could hear the woman's heartfelt joy through the phone, "That's great, that's great. I knew my son could do it. Mom has always believed in you!"

Ao Ling raised the corners of her lips and laughed: "It's good that I didn't disappoint you."

"Silly boy, how could I be disappointed when you are so competitive? You will always be my pride." The woman smiled from ear to ear, "Mom hasn't seen what a gold medal looks like yet?"

Ao Ling blurted out: "Then I'll take it home and show it to you?"

"..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and the chat stopped abruptly. Ao Ling didn't know what he said wrong, nor what happened to the other party, but he keenly caught something, a sudden embarrassment.

Maybe the other party didn't want him to go back?

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the other end of the phone to say: "The weather is too hot. The air conditioner at home is broken and I haven't had time to fix it. Otherwise, don't come back this summer vacation. Train hard at school and come back after the National Day holiday."

After Ao Ling said hello, an inexplicable emotion welled up in her heart, whether it was disappointment or relief.

Before hanging up the phone, the woman said again: "Take a picture of the gold medal and show it to your mother."

Ao Ling said hello again and hung up the phone.

He raised his head and looked around the bedroom, Shen Fei and Liang Fan were not there, Qi Yi was leaning on his bed listening to music.

"Go to my house." Qi Yi said suddenly.

Ao Ling's head was hit by something suddenly, he looked down and saw a bag of nuts fell by his feet, he picked it up and opened it to eat, Qi Yi poked his head out from the bed: "Don't worry, I'm the only one in my house."

Ao Ling asked, "Where's your family?"

"They're all abroad."

Ao Ling asked again: "Is there anything delicious in your house?"

"No," Qi Yi retracted his head again, "just eat."

"OK then."

Ao Ling agreed to Qi Yi almost without any mental struggle. It would be nice to be able to stay with senior brother during the holidays.

Little Dragon Cub casually packed a few sets of summer clothes, he didn't forget to bring swimming equipment, but he didn't remember to bring his summer homework, it was Shen Fei who reminded him that he reluctantly put textbooks in his schoolbag.

When Liang Fan came back from the outside, when he heard that Ao Ling was going to live with Qi Yi and the others, he immediately took out his mobile phone and called home, telling them not to pick it up tomorrow. He would go to his classmate's house to play during his vacation, so he wouldn't go back.

Qi Yi gave him a disgusted look: "Can you be thicker-skinned?"

Liang Fan hooked Ao Ling's neck with a playful smile: "I don't want to live in your big house, I just want to be with Xiaoqi."

Qi Yi's home is in the provincial capital. It is located in a high-quality residential area in the urban area. There is a large single-family villa next to the business district, and there are schools and parks around.

The house is very big, with three floors and a basement, the yard is also very big, the flowers and plants are regularly taken care of, and there is a swing next to the pond.

Qi Yi arranged the room for the two of them next to him, and the three teenagers began their 14-day vacation life.

It was a rare holiday, Liang Fan thought he would be able to sleep until he woke up naturally, however, early the next morning Qi Yi picked them up from the bed, packed their things and went straight to the nearby gym.

Coincidentally, I also met an old acquaintance in the gym. Fu Xingtu was sitting on a multi-functional training frame doing shoulder joint rotation training. The undulating muscle outline under the T-shirt looked more beautiful than the fitness personal trainer next to him. The girl on the treadmill was secretly filming him with her mobile phone.

Fu Xingtu looked at the three of them with a smile: "Long time no see, you three."

Liang Fan forcefully gave him a smile that was uglier than crying: "Have you always lost your memory? I saw you yesterday."

Even Qi Yi was a little surprised when he saw Fu Xingtu, and frowned, he couldn't believe that there was only this gym in such a big provincial capital?

Ao Ling didn't say anything, and started to warm up in the open space beside him, then found a supine board and adjusted it to a gentler height, and lay down.

Liang Fan sat down on the machine next to him: "The sun came out in the west, and Xiao Qi took the initiative to start training on land."

In the past two days, Ao Ling always remembered what He Jiarui said to him before parting - see you at the National Swimming Championships three months later.

Since we are going to meet again, it is a new contest. The plasticity of teenagers is immeasurable, especially for gifted teenagers. In three months, everyone is working hard and making progress. No one knows what will happen at that time.

Through this "U Series" championship, Ao Ling has deeply realized the gap between himself and others in terms of physical fitness. Whether it is strength or endurance, he urgently needs to improve at present.

After a while, Fu Xingtu got off the equipment, took off the towel around his neck, and watched his training while wiping his sweat.

Four sets of sit-ups, [-] in each set, Ao Ling sat up in one breath, stood up from the equipment, lifted the hem of his clothes and wiped the sweat from his forehead, the abdominal muscles on his stomach were looming, and he was still young. appearance.

He turned his head to look at Fu Xingtu, and remembered what He Jiarui said - Fu Xingtu is my idol and also my goal, I dream of surpassing him.

Suddenly, Ao Ling walked towards Fu Xingtu who was next to him. Under the eyes of everyone, he had a bold idea, and immediately put it into action.

……

With a loud "pop", everyone's eyes were attracted.Liang Fan wished he could stuff a light bulb into his half-open mouth, and Qi Yi forgot to do it while sitting on the leg press.

"I'm not mistaken, what did you eat for Xiaoqi in the morning, which made him lose his mind and dare to touch Mr. Fu?"

Qi Yi was even more baffled than him. He didn't know what happened to the little guy, but he actually went to lift Fu Xingtu's clothes!

Ao Ling clutched the back of his hand, sucking in hissing air. Even though he was slapped, he still had the image of lifting the hem of Fu Xingtu's clothes just now in his mind.

Fu Xingtu's complexion is of a very healthy wheat color. From top to bottom, the eight-pack abs are neatly arranged on the abdomen, and they can be clearly seen even without deliberate concave shape.

His waist is also very thin, and the imaginative mermaid line disappears into a more imaginative part.

Ao Ling didn't have any evil thoughts in his mind. After reading it, he just felt that Director Fu had such a figure that none of the boys in the entire provincial swimming team could fight. It's a pity that he never went into the water for some reason, and he was dressed in good clothes in summer. Strictly, except for the arms and calves, the muscles of the body can also be seen through the T-shirt.

Fu Xingtu was played a hooligan by someone just now, his anger was fleeting in his eyes, he stepped forward and patted Ao Ling on the shoulder, and asked him, "Have you rested yet?"

At this moment, Ao Ling seemed to have been injected with blood, his mind was full of his eight-pack abs and mermaid lines, and he secretly set a small goal for himself in his heart-I want to practice like him too!

"Okay!" Little Dragon Cub nodded confidently, ready to continue lying on the supine trainer.

"Wait a minute," Fu Xingtu pushed him at this time, squatted down and readjusted the height of the supine board.

Ao Ling had originally adjusted himself to a very flat position, but Fu Xingtu twisted his hand lightly, and there was a 30° angle between the supine board and the ground, and he could not help but push Ao Ling up: " Five groups, 100 in each group, let's start."

"!!!"

Ao Ling finished practicing five sets of difficult sit-ups, just took a breath, and was pushed onto the butterfly machine by Fu Xingtu, and the training plan came out as soon as he opened his mouth, completely forgetting that it was actually a holiday.

Qi Yi's original intention was to do a small amount of aerobic and anaerobic training every day to maintain his basal metabolism and muscle mass. He never expected to meet Fu Xingtu here. The key is that Ao Ling dared to lift his clothes.

Near noon, a few people changed their clothes and came out of the gym, ready to go to the shopping mall downstairs to find a place to have lunch. At this time, Shen Fei, who had received Qi Yi's call in advance, had already rushed over.

The four brats picked a restaurant that they knew was not necessarily delicious, but must be very expensive. They were going to eat their Fu guide, but the dishes were ordered by Fu Xingtu, which mainly consisted of fish and vegetables. , with a small amount of chicken and duck meat, and specifically told the waiter which spices should not be put.

Despite many restrictions, Ao Ling still ate very happily, looting every plate like a storm.

Shen Fei looked puzzled: "Isn't it a holiday? Why does this look like swimming five thousand and sprinting at full speed?"

Fu Xingtu smiled beside him without saying a word, drinking his lemonade leisurely.

Next to the window is a young couple. The waiter brought the lady a cake shaped like a cloud, sprinkled with finely chopped nuts, and Ao Ling could already smell the irresistible sweetness across the aisle. .

The little dragon cub boldly asked: "I want to eat that too."

"..." The other three people glanced at Fu Xingtu, and chose silence in unanimous agreement.

Shen Fei touched Ao Ling's shoulder, and gave him a look of "go back and order takeaway for you", but the little dragon cub who was immersed in the temptation of desserts didn't receive his secret signal, but was caught by Fu Xingtu who was beside him.

Director Fu disagreed and did not refuse, and looked at him with a smile: "Give me a reason."

Ao Ling thought for a while, then suddenly pulled Fu Xingtu's hand on the table, waiting eagerly: "Director Fu, I want to eat..."

Fu Xingtu beckoned, called the waiter, and asked his little apprentice, "How much do you eat?"

Shen Fei: "..."

Qi Yi: "???"

Liang Fan: "!!!"

Ao Ling ordered five cloud souffles in one go, and originally planned to have one for each person, but the other four didn't eat them, and all watched him eat them.

He ate one to his heart's content. In fact, he couldn't eat any more. He ate too much just now and was overwhelmed. He kept encouraging himself silently in his heart: "Xiaoqi, come on, open your mouth, and take another bite. You can do it."

The remaining four cannot be wasted, so they can only be packed and taken home.

Originally thought that they would be able to bid farewell to Fu Xingtu after lunch, but unexpectedly, the other party took them directly to the underground garage, drove the four of them into the car like ducks, and sent them to Qi Yi's home together with himself.

The arrangement for the afternoon was that Ao Ling and the other three students, under the leadership of Shen Fei, began to complete their summer homework.

Fu Xingtu was sitting on the sofa next to them, playing games with a switch, while Liang Fan who was beside him was scratching his head, wishing he could find a lighter, as he couldn't light anything with his homework.

Shen Fei was about to go to the second year of high school, he had a lot of homework, paper after paper, and there happened to be Fu Xingtu, a top student, by his side, if there was any question he didn't understand, he would immediately go over to ask him for advice.

So, two top students sat on the sofa to study trigonometric functions, and three scumbags sat on the carpet racking their brains for a quadratic function, copying each other's homework.

From time to time, Ao Ling would turn his head to take a peek at Fu Xingtu and Shen Fei, thought for a moment, and then heard a "click", and the tip of the gel pen was bitten off by him.

Liang Fan patted his homework in front of him: "Why are you in a daze, copy it quickly!"

Ao Ling glanced at the ghost-like handwriting on his homework book, and took the homework book back for him: "No copying, I want to do it myself!"

His movement was a bit loud, and it attracted the attention of the three people next to him.

Liang Fan stretched out his hand to touch his forehead in surprise: "There's nothing wrong with it. With your [-]-[-] points, why do you still do it yourself?"

Ao Ling muttered softly: "You didn't score forty points either."

Liang Fan was so choked by him that he couldn't speak, and after a while he choked out a sentence: "I just didn't do it seriously."

Ao Ling pouted unconvinced, changed a pen and continued to bite: "Next semester, I will definitely pass!"

This bold statement sounded less reliable than "Next time, I will definitely win the world championship". The few people around didn't take it seriously, only Fu Xingtu waved to him: "Come here, which question you don't know, let me explain it to you." .”

The holiday arrangement is very boring. I go to the gym in the morning and do my homework in the afternoon. The weather is so hot that I don’t have much chance to go out. It’s better to use the air conditioner at home every day.

Fu Xingtu also has very strict dietary requirements for them. Most of the time, they cook at home, and occasionally go out to eat once or twice, and strictly limit the types.

In short, they finally had a holiday, but they couldn't get rid of the devil Fu Xingtu.

The only thing that satisfied Ao Ling was that every day when he came out of the gym, Shen Fei would take him to buy some snacks or snacks. After two weeks, he had already eaten all the food available around the commercial street.

Milk tea with taro paste and bobo, all kinds of beautiful and sweet cakes, ice cream that won’t spill even if the cup is turned upside down, and the burgers and fried chicken in the Golden Arch... This Fu Xingtu is not allowed to eat, only through the glass Watch others eat.

But the good times didn't last long, the 14-day vacation passed quickly, and it was time to return to the team in the blink of an eye.

They returned to the dormitory one day earlier. Although school had already started, Fu Xingtu still lived in the boys' dormitory building and did not move out.

Ao Ling was rushing homework in the dormitory when Li Sichen called him out suddenly.

The two of them wandered round and round on the playground, and the people next to them thought that there was some inexplicable relationship between them.

Li Sichen had nothing to say: "Compared to before, you have really changed a lot."

Ao Ling nodded: "It's not small."

The young man in the past had a low self-esteem and was sensitive, but now the Seventh Prince of the Dragon Palace is innocent and ignorant. There is a world of difference between the two of them.

Li Sichen opened his mouth and said embarrassingly: "I want to apologize to you. I was prejudiced against you before, but now you make me admire."

Flattery is useless to the Seventh Prince, Ao Ling finally couldn't take it anymore: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Li Sichen muttered for a long time, then sighed again: "You know, I didn't perform well in the 'U series', and almost affected the relay race."

"Well, wasn't it good later?" Ao Ling didn't know what happened to him today, and suddenly brought up this issue again.

Li Sichen lowered his head and stared at his toes: "At that time, Qi Yi said that Director Fu would let me go back where I came from after I came back. Isn't school starting soon? I'm a little worried."

Ao Ling comforted him: "Should... Maybe, not."

Li Sichen took his hand: "I want to ask you a favor. I know Director Fu has always valued you very much. Can you help me find out."

Ao Ling thought of Fu Xingtu's half-smile face, and shook his head decisively: "I won't go."

Li Sichen took out a pack of dry cheese from nowhere and stuffed it into his hand: "Please, do me a favor."

"All right……"

With short hands, Ao Ling knocked on the door of Fu Xingtu's room that night. The latter was sitting in front of the table reading a book. Ao Ling pulled a stool and sat next to him: "Director Fu, I have something to ask you."

Fu Xingtu lowered his head and continued to flip through the "Anatomy of the Motor System" in his hand: "Speak."

Ao Ling bit her lower lip: "Will you let Li Sichen leave?"

Fu Xingtu raised his head to look at him, and asked without answering, "Why do you ask that?"

"Like me, it's the first time he participated in such a competition. He didn't perform well, can you..." At this point, Xiaolong's voice became smaller and smaller, and he was a little embarrassed to speak.

Fu Xingtu closed the book and said, "Are you free?"

"???"

A heavy book was knocked on top of Ao Ling's head: "I have time to worry about other people's affairs."

Ao Ling moved the stool to his side, and asked again: "You won't let him go, will you?"

"Do you think he should leave?"

Ao Ling thought about his question seriously, and then tried to answer: "He used to be the best in the team at the sports school in City A. His water sense, technical movements, and physical fitness are all very good, at least in the 'U' series." Among the more than 20 people in the competition, they are definitely able to enter the top eight."

Fu Xingtu was just asking casually, but he didn't expect his analysis to be on point everywhere, so he listened seriously.

"The reason why he failed to enter the final was because he was too confident at the 100-self mark and wanted to save his strength for the final. This was a strategic failure, not a problem with his level. The subsequent 50-self defeat was somewhat affected. Mental influence."

"But mentality is as important to an athlete as technique."

Ao Ling opened his mouth, he had an idea in his mind, but he didn't know whether to say it or not.

Fu Xingtu saw his thoughts: "Just say what you want."

"I think he is not suitable for short-distance freestyle swimming, especially 50 meters. His explosive power is not outstanding, but he has an advantage in 100 freestyle events that require a combination of endurance."

"I think he can try to change the main event to the 200-meter freestyle."

Having said that, Ao Ling looked at Fu Xingtu and found that the other party was also looking at him.

The two looked at each other, Xiaolong Cub suddenly felt a little nervous, not knowing what the other was thinking.After pondering for a long time, he added: "You think so too, right?"

Fu Xingtu suddenly smiled, and put his hands on his shoulders: "You have seen it all, you little clever ghost."

In the end, Ao Ling did not get an answer from Fu Xingtu about Li Sichen's going or staying, but judging from the other party's expression, he thought Xiao Li was really worrying too much, and Director Fu had no intention of sending him away at all.

On the first morning of morning exercises, Fu Xingtu held a notebook in his hand and looked at Ao Ling: "At noon on August 8, Yunduo Souffle, 1 grams, 100 calories, 249 push-ups; at noon on August 500, a cup of caramelized taro Mud Bobo milk tea, 8 calories, about 2 sit-ups..."

Having said that, he closed his notebook: "I'll make up these today, and I'll come back tomorrow for the rest."

Ao Ling: "!!!"

Little Dragon Cub never imagined that someone would write down all the delicacies he ate in the past two weeks in a notebook, and return them back in this way in the end!

Ao Ling swollen her face again, and found that she hadn't updated the list of good people for a long time, and the name Fu Xingtu dropped several names.

However, he didn't bargain with Fu Xingtu because of this, and he didn't even show the slightest reluctance to get on the equipment without saying a word.

A few days later, Liang Fan sat on the parallel bars next to the playground, watched Ao Ling practice his abdomen and legs on the vertical ladder, and sighed: "Look, Lao Qi, he is no longer the one in our family who wants to be coaxed with snacks." Xiaoqi who is willing to do land training."

Qi Yi nodded: "The child is grown up."

Ao Ling is serious about physical training. He runs to the gym when he has nothing to do. He is involved in bench press barbells, butterfly machines, Smith racks, leg presses, and back muscle training. Not only that, the ladders, vertical ladders, horizontal bars, The parallel bars are also a place he visits every evening.

Even the members of the track and field team knew him well. Seeing him jumping up the horizontal bar with a towel on his shoulders, they began to tease him from afar: "Hey, the idiot beauty of the swimming team is here again."

Xu Zitong would often bring a bottle of mineral water to visit him, sometimes practice with him, and sometimes sit aside and watch him.

"Why did you become so hard-working all of a sudden? It's not at all like you before."

"..." Even Ao Ling himself didn't know what he was like before, and he didn't care, he just wanted to shape himself into a better self now.

"What are you doing, you already have a lot of training every day, and you are still tossing yourself so hard."

"..." I can't tell why, but in short, there is a ruthlessness in my heart that does not admit defeat, I want to stand shoulder to shoulder with that person, and I want him to impress me.

"You really surprised me in the 'U' series of competitions, six gold medals, and two different main events, butterfly and freestyle. I told this to my former teammates, but they didn't believe it."

"..." The Youth Championship is a thing of the past. Now that it's over, it doesn't matter whether it's brilliant or regretful, Ao Ling doesn't intend to spend too much energy thinking about it. He now has a new goal - the National Swimming Championship.

No, it's the Asian Games next year!

The way they chat is like this, one person keeps talking, the other listens, and no one feels embarrassed.

Training on land is really hard, especially because Ao Ling has a thin body, almost starting from scratch. The average temperature in August in Province C is above 8 degrees. Even if the air conditioner is fully turned on in the gym, after one or two hours of training, It was also enough to make him sweat profusely, and the T-shirt and shorts looked like they were fished out of the water.

Sometimes I can’t hold on, and Ao Ling also wants to come here today, but the eight-pack abs under Fu Xingtu’s T-shirt, He Jiaxuan’s overwhelming momentum when he strokes the butterfly, and He Jiarui’s words “He is My idol is also my goal."

Then, the retreat was smashed by Ao Ling himself, gritting his teeth and desperately repeating those monotonous movements, the speed did not decrease but increased.

He exhausted himself half to death every day, and fell asleep when he returned to the dormitory. Shen Fei was like an old woman, picking him up from the bed at nine o'clock in the evening, and pushing him into the bathroom for him to take a shower.

It was not only Xu Zitong who was training with him, but also a voyeur from an office in the nearby office building.
