cut the waves

Su Liao felt that all the frustration, annoyance and pain in his heart - all slowly faded away with that kiss.His mind fell into a brief blank, as if floating in the clouds, his tense body suddenly lost strength, and he took Yu Yu to lie back together, and their backs hit the soft bed together.

Tears couldn't be controlled anymore - he's stretched for too long.Ever since he decided to have an operation, Su Liao has been working hard to be a good boy.He listened to the doctor's words and actively cooperated with the treatment. He never complained that he was out of breath or that the incision hurt again.He smiled and comforted everyone in his life, trying not to cause anyone a little trouble.

He actually felt terrible, he didn't think he was okay at all.

Su Liao leaned on Yu Yu's shoulder, as if a wandering soul had found support, and the weightless boat dropped anchor.He smelled the sun-baked scent of Yu Yu's body, as well as the faint smell of hypochlorous acid in the swimming pool, and almost cried wantonly.

In fact, Yu Yu was also a little apprehensive, but he felt that it might be a good thing to cry so much, so he just rubbed Su Liao's head silently.

……

Su Liao cried enough at once, and when his soul slowly returned to his place, the shoulder of Yu Yu's T-shirt was wet from his crying.Su Liao sucked his nose hard and felt embarrassed after realizing it.

"Are you done crying?" Yu Yu asked.

Su Liao moved his face from Yu Yu's shoulder back to the bed, randomly grabbed a book spread out on the bed, put on the hijab and pretended to be dead: "..."

Yu Yu glanced at the cover, it was a copy of "Camus Collected Works".

He took the book from the man's head: "What is this?"

Su Liao raised his eyes and replied sleepily: "My dad recently gave me a book. Oh no, he recently gave me an instant noodle cover."

Yu Yu: "..."

He casually flipped through a few pages and found that there were some philosophical essays inside.

"I don't like Camus." Su Liao got up and took out a few pieces of paper, and woke up blowing his nose, "He actually thinks Sisyphus is happy. You don't need to do brainwashing like that."

Yu Yu was taken aback: "Sisyphus?"

"In Greek mythology, there was a man named Sisyphus who was punished by the gods. In hell, there was a huge stone. Every time Sisyphus pushed the stone to the top of the mountain, the gods would push the stone to the top of the mountain. The stone is pushed down again, and he has to start all over again, over and over again."

Yu Yu: "..."

"Camus believes that Sisyphus chose what he wanted to do again and again in the face of such absurd things - pushing the stone up - so he is happy." Su Liao frowned and said to himself He muttered to himself, "I think this is Camus' wishful thinking. The gods in the story are perverts, and only masochists can feel happy."

Yu Yu closed the book and put it on Su Liao's bedside.He got up and stretched out his hand to the person: "...then are you still going to go downstairs to 'push the stone'?"

Su Liao: "..."

With a long sigh, he let Yu Yu pull him out, and cursed reluctantly: "Push the fuck!"

Su Liao and Yu Yu discussed it and reached a consensus—adapted according to the training ideas, Su Liao is currently most suitable for "intermittent brisk walking" with heart rate as the "training index".Su Liao has a very old fitness bracelet that can test real-time heart rate.I bought it for a while and thought it was fresh, but he put it on hold after using it for a while, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now.

Like an experiment, he will record the distance, speed and heartbeat of each section for future reference.

Su Liao felt that such a simple thing as "walking fast" had to be practiced from scratch like a baby, which was extremely painful and struggling.But because of Yu Yu, this incident became more bearable.

Unlike the Olympic Games held every four years and the World Championships held every two years, the 10k Open Water Marathon World Cup is held every year, and several stops will be held in different countries around the world.Due to the schedule, geographical location, weather and other reasons, some athletes will only choose to compete in countries close to them. For example, the champion of this event in the Olympic Games last year only participated in Argentina and won the championship again; , almost every game will not be absent-because every game is ranked, the athletes will get the corresponding points, and at the end of the year, the top eight in the standings will get bonuses.

The open water marathon in August is the seventh stop of this year's World Cup. China's home stadium is held in S City on the southern coast.

Although the gold content of this competition is not as high as other competitions, China has always attached great importance to international competitions held locally.Su Liao adjusted the TV channel early and waited for the live program of the TV station.

As a result, after the on-site reporters reported the number of the contestants and the beginning of the competition, the program became the historical origin of the "swimming marathon" event—the 2008km swimming marathon became an Olympic event for the first time in the 10 Beijing Olympic Games—and retired swimming Interviews with athletes and gold medal coaches.After all, the entire marathon takes about two hours, and it is impossible to broadcast the swimming in the whole process. The program will only hand over the shots to the scene at critical time points.

Su Liao was very dissatisfied with this.He didn't want to watch the interview, he just wanted to watch the live broadcast, but after spending a long time on the Internet, he only found the FINA official website which had a live broadcast of the whole process, so he had to connect the computer to the TV.

It was a Saturday, and it was rare that Su Jianjun didn't go to the laboratory, and sat in front of the TV with him.As soon as Su Jianjun's sofa was recessed, Su Liao became vigilant and gave his father a ghostly look.Before his father could speak, Su Liao vaguely felt that the other party would say, "Why waste time watching this".

For the first time, Su Jianjun didn't say that.He leaned back: "What are you looking at? I'll watch it with you."

"That," Su Liao explained vigilantly, "Swimming Marathon World Cup, Yu Yu is going to participate in this, he is the No. 9 player."

After finishing speaking, Su Liao explained again: "This time is our home game, so the Chinese team members are numbered first, and the number of participants is relatively large. Yu Yu's mother went to watch the game, and Uncle Yan also went."

"Oh," Su Jianjun didn't understand marathon swimming, but he could understand the word "world" before the competition. He nodded and said that your classmate is very good.

Su Liao: "..."

He felt that the scene was extremely weird - hell!Ever since he could remember, he had never watched TV with his daddy side by side!

As soon as Su Liao sat with his father, he was habitually nervous, so that he began to report his study progress as soon as he opened his mouth: "Dad, what, I signed up for ACT with your visa."

"After all, there are test centers in Beijing. I plan to take the TOEFL test as well. The last time the score doesn't count." Su Liao thought for a while, and then explained, "I took the ACT because I had to go to Hong Kong or Macau for the SAT, and I didn't want to fly around. Go make a fuss."

Su Jianjun was taken aback for a moment: "Have you thought about it, do you really want to apply for the beauty book?"

Su Liao's expression was still a little vigilant, and he said vaguely: "I haven't thought about it, and I don't necessarily know it. I'll prepare the results first, and talk about the rest later."

To be honest, once the language barrier is passed, the American college entrance examination is almost no difficulty in Su Liao's eyes.Instead, it was the domestic college entrance examination - he had finished the entire high school content in his sophomore year, but he was working hard on the competition in the second semester of his sophomore year, and he was originally recommended for the competition - but a sudden operation disrupted all plans.Compared with other students who took the college entrance examination, with the second year of high school and this summer vacation, it is estimated that one round of review has already been completed. Although Su Liao has a good foundation, he is still a few months behind the others.

Moreover, Su Liao believed that general anesthesia did have some negative effects on his brain, he felt that his memory was much worse.Of course, the doctor said he was still young and the effect should only be temporary.

"Father wants to tell you—" Su Jianjun sighed, and said with some difficulty, "You can do whatever you want."

Su Liao turned his head and looked at him in surprise.

"As long as you take good care of yourself and take good care of your body." Su Jianjun raised his hand and placed it on Su Liao's shoulder hesitantly, "Liao Liao, you want to study biology, or as you said a while ago, you want to study medicine again. Support you."

Su Liao opened his eyes wide, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

When did it start?Su Jianjun thought to himself, probably when he saw his son lying on the bed and being pushed into the operating room, but he couldn't go in again.When Su Liao was just born, there was such a time.It's just that at that time, he was immersed in the grief of losing his wife, and he didn't have much affection for that blue-purple wrinkled little thing, and even thought that he had killed his wife.

But 17 years later, when the door of the operating room closed in front of him again, Su Jianjun realized what was most important, and how ridiculous his paranoia had been for a long time.

"It doesn't matter whether you want to go abroad or take the college entrance examination. Dad believes that you can do well." Su Jianjun tried to reveal his feelings nervously, "Actually, I have always thought so. Although I don't usually say it, Dad always feels that ,I am proud of you."

The angle of view was cut again on the TV screen, and the commentator was chattering, but Su Liao couldn't listen anymore, and threw himself into his father's arms, as if he had taken a reassurance.For the first time in such a long time after the operation, Su Liao felt with certainty that everything would be fine.

Su Liao still stubbornly believes that "repeatedly pushing stones" is not a happy thing, but being loved by others—loved and encouraged by Yu Yu, his father, and so many beautiful people in his life makes him feel happy. He feels happy and powerful.

Su Jianjun was obviously not used to this kind of "intimate contact" with his son. He patted Su Liao on the back in embarrassment, pointed to the TV, and tried to change the subject: "That... isn't your classmate No. [-]? Look, look, the commentator is reporting Where's number nine?"
