Love Guide for Childhood Sweethearts

"But everyone else has used it." Zhu Youlin looked at Lin Jingzhe with dim eyes and said, "We don't have to suffer too much."

"It's not up to us to decide. We need the approval of the leaders above." Lin Jingzhe raised his index finger and pointed upwards.

"Alas..." Zhu Youlin sighed heavily, "How inefficient is this?"

"Haha..." Lin Jingzhe's pearly eyes flashed with a smile as he looked at her softly, "How does it compare to the West?"

"Of course it's better than the West." Zhu Youlin chuckled. "For the sake of your grades, they probably just let you take drugs."

"Does the coach agree?" Lin Jingzhe looked at her with deep and bright eyes.

"It was the coach who instigated it." Zhu Youlin pulled her up and said, "Let's talk while we walk."

The two walked out of the restaurant and onto the empty street. "They are used to it and don't think there is anything wrong with it." Zhu Youlin said, looking at her with her dark almond-shaped eyes.

"It's understandable that athletes are pursuing good results, but is the coach so crazy?" Lin Jingzhe said with some surprise.

"The halo of a star coach is very dazzling, and he gains both fame and fortune." Zhu Youlin said, looking at her with deep eyes.

"Does anyone know about this?" Lin Jingzhe suddenly asked, "They should know!"

"I know! But what can we do? Like you said, we have no say. The rules are set by them, the officials are their people, and everything is decided by Europe and the United States. Protests are useless!" Zhu Youlin said, trying her best to control her anger. "We can only hold our noses and bear it. Otherwise, they can accuse you of a crime and ban you. All these years of training will be in vain."

"Don't think about it." Lin Jingzhe comforted her, "Defeat them using their own rules."

Zhu Youlin moved her lips and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. How could it be so easy!

Lin Jingzhe blinked his clear eyes and looked at Coach Zhu's moving lips. It was normal for him not to believe it. In Coach Zhu's view, Europe and the United States were insurmountable mountains.

Lin Jingzhe and her friends spent New Year's Day and Spring Festival in the swimming pool. There was nothing better to do except training themselves.

New Year's Eve "I'm watching my daughter's heroic performance at the Asian Games again!" Shen Ze said, looking at the figure on the big TV.

"Yeah! This big TV is much better than watching on a laptop." Lin Xingzhi stared at the delicate face with a beautiful smile on the TV screen with his starry eyes. He turned around and looked at him and said, "What's that in your hand?"

"Let's make some dumplings to celebrate the New Year." Shen Ze raised his hand.

Lin Xingzhi looked at him in astonishment and asked, "Can you wrap it?"

"No! Help me." Shen Ze said with his obsidian eyes flashing with tiny lights.

"Does anyone in our family know how to make dumplings? Aunt Zhang is also going home for the New Year." Lin Xingzhi looked at him curiously and said, "We are not like people in the north who can only eat dumplings every New Year and festival."

"I found this recipe online." Shen Ze turned his hands and said, "I go to school in the north, and I also like eating dumplings."

"You can!" Lin Xingzhi looked him up and down and said.

"I can't, but Weiwei can!" Shen Ze turned his head and looked towards the kitchen. "She can cook." He said with a look of relief, "Luckily, Weiwei is here, otherwise I would have been hungry on the 30th."

"Just go out and eat. Restaurants and hotels are open on the 30th, and New Year's Eve dinners are quite popular." Lin Xingzhi stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

"It's Chinese New Year! Let's eat at home." Lin Qiwei said as she rolled out the dumpling wrappers, looking at him with her almond-shaped eyes. "I learned from Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang made a lot of delicious food. We just need to heat it up."

"They're really good!" Lin Xingzhi said as he looked at the dumplings. "They look like the ones we eat in the north."

"Mother Zhang prepared the filling and kneaded the dough," Lin Qiwei said, looking at them with a smile in her almond-shaped eyes. "Mother Zhang taught me how to make it step by step."

"That's because you learned well. My hands are even clumsier than my feet. I really can't make it." Lin Xingzhi spread out his big hands and smiled at the ugly dumplings. "This must be made by Shen Ze."

"It's just the two of us. Weiwei wraps it well, so who else can't do it well except me." Shen Ze nudged his arm with his elbow and said, "Go wash your hands and come over to help."

"You asked me to help, but I can't." Lin Xingzhi waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's just for the occasion. I can't eat much, so I won't make a fool of myself."

"Brother, there's no need to do anything." Lin Qiwei said immediately after hearing this.

"Weiwei, really, I want to see what he, who is so clumsy, can come up with." Shen Ze stared at Lin Xingzhi and said, "How dare you laugh at me."

"Brother Shen makes dumplings well. My first time I made dumplings even worse than yours." Lin Qiwei said quickly after hearing that.

"Weiwei is just teasing you! Don't take it too seriously." Lin Xingzhi said hurriedly with a smile, "I wonder how Nannan's training in Spring City is going?"

"The training will definitely be good." Lin Qiwei said confidently, "There will definitely be good rewards." As if trying to convince herself.

"You believe this?" Lin Xingzhi took a deep breath, looked at her and sighed.

"I checked the results of our international swimming competition. Are my sisters really not good enough?" Lin Qiwei said dejectedly.

"Hey! It's New Year's Day, and you're still saying such depressing things. It's unlucky." Shen Ze looked at them both with a complaining look.

"After the New Year's Eve dinner, let's go to Lingyin Temple and wait to burn the first incense. May all our wishes come true in the new year." Shen Ze said, looking at them with his obsidian eyes.

"Burn the first incense?" Lin Xingzhi's eyes lit up when he heard that. "Okay! Okay!" he urged, "Hurry up, hurry up and eat."

"How can we eat if you don't help?" Shen Ze pointed at the dumplings he was about to make.

"I'll make the dumplings. Weiwei, go heat up the New Year's Eve dinner that Aunt Zhang made." Lin Xingzhi said as he rolled up his sleeves.

"Hey!" Lin Qiwei responded quickly, washed her hands and took out the semi-finished meal from the refrigerator.

Lin Xingzhi washed his hands and began making dumplings. Looking at the finished product in his hands, he said uncomfortably, "Uh..." "As long as it's edible, it doesn't matter what goes into your stomach."

"Haha..." Shen Ze chuckled and said, "We don't mind."

"How dare you look down on me? This is my first time making dumplings. It's pretty good that I can make them like this." Lin Xingzhi boasted.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Shen Ze said as he looked at him with his ink-black eyes filled with smiles.

Lin Qiwei quickly prepared the New Year’s Eve dinner and cooked the dumplings.

The three of them ate up the New Year's Eve dinner like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, picked up the car keys and drove away in a hurry.

"I wonder if there are many people who burn the first incense." Lin Qiwei asked curiously while sitting in the back seat.

"A lot! There are so many people who come to Lingyin Temple to burn the first incense every year!" Lin Xingzhi said while looking at her through the rearview mirror.

"I've heard of burning the first incense but have never participated in it." Lin Qiwei said excitedly while looking at them.
