Love Guide for Childhood Sweethearts

"That's good. It's good that you won't punish us." Zina smiled and felt relieved.

"What did you think the penalty would be?" Zhu Youlin looked up at her exaggeratingly and said with a smile, "But you still have to write a summary of the game's gains and losses."

"It's nothing. I'm just worried about the salary penalty! I'm in debt." Zina said with a pout, looking aggrieved. She added nervously, "It seems I won't be able to pay Coach Zhu back in time."

"Don't worry, there's no need to worry about the money!" Zhu Youlin said hurriedly, "Qina, please don't worry."

Zina looked at the flustered Coach Zhu with her round eyes and said, "I'm not nervous, don't rush, take your time."

"That's right! Don't carry too heavy a burden mentally. It's just one competition, and there will be many more to come!" Zhu Youlin said to them with a gentle smile.

"I know, I know! We've already digested it ourselves." Lin Jingzhe looked at her with his crystal-clear eyes and smiled, "Now we're even more motivated."

"High morale?" Zhu Youlin blinked her almond-shaped eyes and looked at them with some confusion.

"Zhenzhen and Ximei came just now. They looked down on others and were so rude." Zina pouted and told what happened in the locker room.

Zhu Youlin closed her eyes and said, "This may happen again in the future, don't take it to heart."

"No! This is actually motivation. If we make them look down on us, we will defeat them." Zina said with full fighting spirit.

All right! No matter what your purpose is, just be motivated.

"That's what we should do. Never admit defeat and never give in." Zhu Youlin encouraged them.

"Yeah!" Zina nodded heavily when she heard that.

In the following competitions, even if they reach the finals, only Lin Jingzhe and a lone seedling from the men's team will be able to stand on the podium.

In terms of swimming, the team was completely defeated in terms of gold medals. Lin Jingzhe won one silver medal and three bronze medals.

The male teammates won a silver medal and a bronze medal and did not achieve anything else.

Alas... the whole swimming team is filled with low pressure and everyone is in a bad mood.

Although I knew the results would not be ideal when I came here, I didn't expect it to be so bad and I went home with nothing.

Many projects did not make it to the finals.

"Her father!" Lin's mother said sadly while looking at her lover.

"Don't call Nannan!" Father Lin said, looking at her nervously, "and don't mention this on the phone."

"I know." Mother Lin took a few deep breaths to calm herself down and said.

"A silver medal is already very good." Father Lin looked at her with eyes as gentle as jade and comforted her.

"I know! It's my first time participating!" Lin's mother consoled herself, saying enviously, "Are we that far behind those Europeans and Americans? How did that American boy, Phil, train so well? He actually won seven gold medals and broke five world records this time. He's become famous overnight!"

"I don't know, but we should study it! We won't miss a single move or breath." Father Lin looked at her with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "Let's leave professional matters to the professionals. It's time for us to go home."

"Oh!" Lin's mother nodded in response. "Luckily, the diving dream team never disappoints, otherwise this World Championships would be so pitiful."

"Diving is more about technique, unlike speed racing." Father Lin looked at his wife with his bright eyes and said, "The kids are great! With such a high diving platform, most people would feel weak in the knees."

"I dare not jump." Lin's mother said, shaking her head like a rattle.

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Father Lin said with a gentle look, "Let's go back!"

"Okay!" Lin's mother nodded and flew back home before her daughter.

Zina's eyes were red and she kept wiping her tears with a tissue.

Lin Jingzhe handed her a bottle of mineral water and said, "Rehydrate. You've shed so many tears."

Zina looked at her sobbingly, took the mineral water, and drank it.

"Be careful, don't choke." Lin Jingzhe looked at her worriedly with his peach blossom eyes.

"It's okay!" Zina choked.

"Why are you crying? The game is over." Lin Jingzhe asked her with his glazed eyes as he looked at her heartbrokenly.

Zina said very unwillingly, "I was almost there, just a little bit, and I was almost standing on the podium."

Excluding the ones that didn't make it to the finals, Zina got four fourth places after entering the finals. No wonder she was so sad.

"Am I that far behind the first place?" Lin Jingzhe looked at her sadly with deep eyes and said, "We almost touched the wall at the same time. Should I cry my heart out?" He added gently, "Those who didn't make it to the finals, who didn't get the results, shouldn't they cry their hearts out too!"

Zina sniffed and said, "Just let me finish crying. I'll be fine after that." She looked at her with her red eyes, which had been tearing like rabbits, and said, "Next time I will definitely stand on the podium."

"Try your best, come on!" Lin Jingzhe exchanged punches with her.

"Of course!" Zina shouted.

"Shh...be quiet." Lin Jingzhe put his index finger to his lips and lowered his voice.

"The sound insulation here is okay." Zina said with a heavy nasal tone after sniffing.

"Have you packed your things? It's time for us to go." Lin Jingzhe looked at her with his bright peach blossom eyes.

"I've packed up a long time ago. It's finally time to leave. This place isn't nice at all." Zina pouted and said with disdain, "I miss the food in our cafeteria so much."

After we cleaned up, we gathered together and took a bus to the airport.

Compared to the excitement and anticipation when they came, everyone was listless when they left, and the cabin was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

After the plane stabilized, Qi Na tilted her head slightly and looked at Lin Jingzhe who was near the window and said, "It's so quiet that it's scary."

"They are all licking their wounds!" Lin Jingzhe said in a low voice.

"What about you? You look like nothing happened." Zina looked her up and down with her dark eyes and said, "Your grades are better than ours."

"It's better, but not very good." Lin Jingzhe said without a trace of light in his amber eyes.

"Then you don't look sad." Zina looked at her in surprise.

"Is it useful to be sad? Is it useful to cry?" Lin Jingzhe's dark pupils were mostly hidden under his crow-feather eyelashes. "If it were useful, I would definitely flood the Pacific Ocean with tears."

"Cough cough..." Ye Zhenzhen, who was sitting in front of Lin Jingzhe, coughed twice.

"Dry your tears and start again." Zina calmed down and looked at her and said.

"Yes!" Lin Jingzhe looked at her with his bright and clear peach blossom eyes and said, "I'm going to sleep, you guys can do whatever you want." He covered himself with the blanket and closed his eyes.

"She's really generous." Ye Zhenzhen said in a low voice.

"What else?" Lian Ximei looked at her with dark eyes and said, "Sleep, sleep, I don't know how I'll be punished when I get back! Only when I get enough sleep can I have the energy to deal with it."
