cut the waves

UmiUmi1.5m long killer whale!

When Su Liao stuffed the giant orca doll into Yu Yu's arms, he was still in a daze.Starting early this morning, Yu Yu's mind was full of open water training, and he forgot about his birthday. Only now did he remember that his mother told him to go home for dinner at night.

UmiUmi is the IP partner of Ninggang City Seaside Park. Yu Yu glanced at the price list of the big killer whale, and suddenly felt that the killer whale was a bit hot, neither to push it away nor to hold it.

Su Liao saw his entanglement at a glance, and said quickly: "You should have won this by yourself, as if I spent money to buy a killer whale for my sister last year - anyway, I used my dad's card, You don't mind."

Yu Yu took a deep breath, and then hugged the killer whale tightly into his arms: "Thank you."

The material of UmiUmi pillows is quite good, the fluff is soft, the filling is extremely elastic and textured, and it is very comfortable to hold.

Yu Yu thought of what happened in Crescent Bay at this time last year, and felt as if it was a lifetime away.

At that time, he felt that Su Liao was the most annoying person in the whole world, and wished he could pick up the killer whale doll and pin him to the swimming pool floor to beat him up violently.At that time, he said angrily that he would never swim again, that he didn't want to go to No. [-] Middle School, and he didn't want to be a swimmer.At that time, he trained ten kilometers a day, and he might pass out with black eyes.

But now...

Seventeen kilometers a day is no more than that, and he is also preparing to participate in the National Swimming and Marathon Championships.

time flies.

"Hey, are you stupid when you see killer whales?" Su Liao approached Yu Yu, waved his hand with a smile, "I want to take you to buy a cake."

Yu Yu hugged the big killer whale and shook his head like a rattle.This killer whale is already expensive, so I am ashamed to ask someone to buy another cake.

Su Liao didn't like cakes either, so he shrugged nonchalantly: "Then go home."

Yu Yu hugged the killer whale and became more and more embarrassed: "Don't skip class too."

"I don't know when you will end in the afternoon. I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up. You might as well miss it. The competition class is really boring. It makes me feel moldy."

"Okay, how did it feel to skip class for the first time?"

Su Liao: "Fuck, it's really cool."

Yu Yu: "..." End.

The fastest and most convenient way to get back to No. 1.8 Middle School from Crescent Bay is Metro Line [-]. Yu Yu is just over [-] meters tall and holds such a big killer whale in his arms. Exclaimed "so cute".Yu Yu was so embarrassed by others that he buried his face in the furry back of the big killer whale and let it point at the subway passengers with a silly grin.The killer whale doll has two white spots on its head, and a pair of eyes the size of a button, which are shiny and very cute.

"You might as well be like this." Su Liao reached out and pulled Yu Yu's collar.The sportswear was already very loose, and Yu Yu didn't have a zipper on it, so Su Liao put the collar on Yu Yu's head as soon as he pulled it.He then stuffed the orca doll into Yu Yu's sportswear, and zipped it up so that only the big head of the orca protruded from the neckline.

One of the two was in the tracksuit, the other was outside the tracksuit, laughing and squealing at the same time.Passers-by cast disgusting glances one after another, with the words "Where did the mentally handicapped child come from" written in black on a white background.

Yu Yu was already tired from swimming today, so when he covered his eyes, he felt quite comfortable.He maintained this posture and leaned on Su Liao's shoulder: "Call me when you arrive."

Su Liao leaned his head to the side, raised his hand, and with a big smile, he took a selfie with "Killer Whale Head".

Seeing the station of No. [-] Middle School arrived, Yu Yu tidied up his clothes: "Aren't you going back to your aunt's house today, Saturday?"

Su Liao looked at Yu Yu and blinked: "Let's see, if there is nothing else, go back later."

He seemed to be hesitant to say something, and seemed to be waiting for the other party to speak first.

Yu Yu originally wanted to invite people to his home, but he didn't know what was wrong with him, his lips seemed to be sealed.The subway slowly stopped at Ninggang No. [-] Middle School Station. Su Liao smiled gently and got up first: "Let's go."

As soon as Yu Yu came home, he could smell the warm smell of fish soup wafting from the kitchen, and there were big bags of fruit on the table. Xu Qinglan worked double jobs on weekends, so it was rare for her to come back early in the afternoon.She was wearing an apron, and poked her head out of the kitchen: "Yuyu is back, mom made you your favorite food today—" As she spoke, her eyes fell into Yu Yu's arms, and she frowned: "You how--"

Yu Yu quickly explained: "Birthday present, a classmate gave it."

Xu Qinglan became anxious when she heard this, and wiped her hands on the back of her apron: "I remember this orca cost almost 1000 yuan? How could you accept such an expensive gift casually?"

Yu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he explained the fact that he won the orca last year and was "won" by Su Liao.He curled his lips in grievance, meaning that it was Su Liao who took his orca first, and it wasn't too much to accept it.

Xu Qinglan was not at all persuaded by him, and continued to criticize with a dark face: "Mom taught you since childhood that you should be courteous and not take advantage of others. You accept such an expensive gift now, and when the time comes for someone's birthday, what will you give him?" ?”

Yu Yu: "..." The truth is this, but if he gives Su Liao something for his birthday, he might be beaten.

"Wait, you're talking about Su Liao?" His mother rolled her eyes, "Is it the classmate you said last time that you had a fever and no one was taking care of you at home? Did you go to someone else's place to eat and drink during the winter vacation?"

Yu Yu nodded quickly.

"Doesn't that person live nearby?" Xu Qinglan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Why don't you invite him to eat at home? Or, Mom will add a few more dishes, and you go and call him?"

Yu Yu looked away a little guilty: "He went to his aunt's house tonight."

Xu Qinglan said "oh", and left him alone, saying that the fish soup is almost ready, and you should eat some fruit first if you are hungry.

Yu Yu's mother made his favorite fish sliced ​​noodles with rattan pepper and pickled vegetables, but when Yu Yu thought of Su Liao, the meal was tasteless.Xu Qinglan asked some questions about the provincial team's training, and Yu Yu answered perfunctorily.He didn't know why he lied to his mother, Su Liao, to go to his aunt's house at night, but when he opened his mouth, that sentence jumped out, like a ghost.

Yu Yu thought to himself, if he put the dishes made by his mother into a lunch box and sent them to Su Liao, then he would be quite happy, but to invite people to his home——he crumpled in his heart immediately.

Perhaps it was because the small apartment that Su Liao rented by himself was more spacious than the entire apartment that he and his mother lived in.Perhaps, it is because the home is small and old, with poor lighting and a musty smell of damp all the year round.Or maybe it's because he didn't want Su Liao to see the small wooden bed he stuffed in the storage room. If he put the big killer whale on the bed, he would hardly have room to turn over...Yu Yu didn't know that Su Liao saw this After that, what will you think, what will you say.Will he look at himself like he looks at the broken wooden table in his living room?

Whether Su Liao's reaction was contempt, surprise, sympathy, or curiosity - Yu Yu felt that he couldn't accept it.But in fact, he also wanted to ask Su Liao to come over for dinner.Because Su Liao said that he had never eaten birthday longevity noodles made by his mother.

Yu Yu was lying on the bed with the killer whale in his arms, "staring" with the doll.

Grandpa once said—people who disappear at sea will always return to them in some way.In the legend of the fishing village, people believe that the souls of ancestors will become part of the sea, wind, waves, birds and fish.The first time Yu Yu's father took him to dive in the sea, he came across a very rare killer whale.Killer whales are not common guests in that sea area. Many local guides have not encountered them once in several years.Therefore, Yu Yu always felt that somewhere, he and the killer whale had some kind of fate.He always felt that his father would turn into a killer whale to visit him.

Yu Yu turned over and buried his face in the belly of the killer whale, tears fell silently and ferociously without warning.

He didn't know what he was crying for.

Cry what he once lost.

crying he got it again.

Crying for his unspeakable inferiority complex.

Crying his unspeakable guilt.

Yu Yu was tired from crying, wiped his face, and checked his phone again before going to bed.

Their second middle school forum has a "reminder to friends" birthday function, which automatically reminds them every day, and can send blessings with one click.Yu Yu swiped the screen, only to find that the account named "_TZ" manually entered a message "Happy birthday [cake] [cake] [cake]" for him in the early hours of his birthday.

In the long list of system automatic blessings, it seems very precious.

In fact, until now he doesn't know who this "_TZ" is, what grades and classes he is in, but this account seems to be his own face fan, and he often speaks for himself in the school grass tearing posts, and by the way angrily tears Su Liao Waiting for other school grass candidates.For this sake, Yu Yu gave himself the only artificial blessing and replied "Thank you".

Unexpectedly, "_TZ" didn't sleep most of the night, so he replied in seconds: "^Did you have a happy birthday? Why don't you sleep?"

Little killer whale: can't sleep

The other party was silent for a while, and replied with a question mark.

Yu Yu had just finished crying, and he hadn't blown his nose clean yet, so he felt suffocated.Probably facing stranger netizens, there is a special desire to talk.

Little Killer Whale: I wanted to invite a friend to my house for dinner, but because of some reasons, I didn’t say anything

Little killer whale: a little guilty

_TZ: why are you so cute

Little killer whale:?

_TZ: Don't feel guilty, a good friend will definitely not care about such trivial things

_TZ: Those who care about such small things are not real friends

Little Killer Whale: Thank you, excuse me, I will make a hole

_TZ: It's okay, you are welcome to continue tree holes in the future

Little Killer Whale: Are you from our XX class?

_TZ: I graduated early

The second middle school forum is a place where dragons and tigers are hidden. Yu Yu knew that many seniors would love to come back to fish and eat melons after many years of graduation, so he immediately felt relieved.

Little Killer Whale: Thank you, good night

_TZ: Good night little killer whale~

Since April, the provincial team has taken people to sea for open water training every Saturday.

After several additional training sessions, Yu Yu finally mastered how to get supplies quickly in different situations, but he gradually realized that his [-]-meter score fluctuated greatly in open water, not as stable as in the swimming pool, which was very big. To a certain extent, it was because of the people around him.Athletes competing together will generate horizontal and vertical water waves when they swim together. If a lot of energy is wasted fighting against these water waves, he will eventually exhaust himself very early.

This is not just a contest of swimming skills. As Yan Zheng said, the positioning, speed, and rhythm strategy of swimming marathon are very important parts of the competition. Yu Yu needs to choose a plan that suits him.

However, the swimming marathon is really an unpopular event in the Olympics-not to mention that it takes two hours, there are very few live broadcasts, and most of the commentaries have to be fast-forwarded.Compared with swimming pool events, there are very few tactical studies and interviews with athletes related to swimming marathon.Moreover, this event is limited by competition weather, water conditions, and track settings. There is neither an Olympic A standard threshold nor a world record. Only rankings are counted each time, which is very difficult to compare horizontally.

In view of the fact that Chinese men have never won an international medal in this project, Su Liao helped Yu Yu search for a lot of audio-visual materials from the Internet, and also took on the role of translator by the way.

During the rest of the afternoon, Yu Yu sat on the cushion in the living room of Su Liao's house and watched the video of the open water competition for two hours, and successfully "got nothing"——

Some champions bluntly said "flyordie" in the interview, sprinting from the second they entered the water, and ended up leading all the way to the finish line; "Pigs eat tigers", counting down for an hour and a half to recharge their batteries, and in the last 20 minutes, the Olympic 1500m swimming pool speed surpassed 20 people to win the championship...

An iron-clad champion, a smooth strategy——Yu Yu discovered that the choice of strategy has nothing to do with the final ranking.Some people will be the first in the end, while others will lose the splash.Some people squatted at the end pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, and some people counted down from entering the water to the end——Yu, who was attacked by English for two hours and couldn't find out the answer, went crazy in place.

"What did Boss Yan say?"

"He suggested that I follow the first echelon closely and sprint at the end." Yu Yu paused for a moment, then sighed again, "But he and everyone else suggested that."

Su Liao: "..."

"Actually, I tried. If the first echelon is not fast, this strategy works well for me. If the first echelon rushes too fast at the beginning, I will easily run out of energy in the end, but once I don't follow the first echelon, I will fall behind. Between the second echelon, too much physical energy was wasted to deal with the waves created by the people around them, and in the end they still had no energy."

Su Liao laughed: "After all, it's not long enough."

Yu Yu picked up a book on the table and was about to hit him, but Su Liao avoided it with a smile, and said sternly, "Then it's better to think differently."

"What do you mean?"

"You want to study the champions now—see what strategies they use to win the championships, right?" Su Liao pushed back his anti-blue light glasses, and his eyes fell on the screen of his laptop again, "Since there is no answer, how about Look up athletes who have lost in this event, what do they think they lost?"

Yu Yu looked at the screen through his shoulder: "Why do you always use Google?"

"I usually use Baidu. Isn't it to search for foreign athletes? It's more convenient to use Google."

"Are both this and YouTube going over the wall?"

"Yes," Su Liao pointed to the small icon on the upper right corner of the computer, "connect with V|P|N and go out."

If it hadn't been for the addition of the word "forbidden", Yu Yu would not have been so curious: "Is the Internet fun?"

Su Liao shrugged: "That's it."

Yu Yu snatched the mouse: "Show me."

He randomly clicked on a few websites that Su Liao frequently visited in the record, nothing more than gmail, youtube, facebook, twitter and other websites, he clicked one by one, only to feel blinded by the English on the screen .Until his mouse arrow landed on a website called "po|rnhub", Su Liao regained control of the computer in time: "That's all, all right, let's get down to business, can you still check the athletes?"

"Oh, what is this po|rnhub for?"

"Video sites," Su Liao felt his eyes twitch, "there are some teaching videos."

"No way, you still go over the wall to take online classes," Yu Yu was completely convinced without any doubt, "What are you learning?"

Su Liao replied without blushing, "Learn python."

The author has something to say: Pinyin input: p'y't'thon
