Love Guide for Childhood Sweethearts

"What are you thanking me for?" Zhu Youlin said with a slight smile, her almond-shaped eyes like the spring sunshine after the snow. "We fought side by side."

"Haha..." Ye Zhenzhen laughed upon hearing this, her smile particularly sweet. "Coach Zhu, can I ask a personal question?"

"What do you want to ask?" Zhu Youlin looked at her kindly.

"Will it delay your date if you accompany us like this?" Ye Zhenzhen said playfully with a smile on her face.

Hearing this, Zhu Youlin pointed at her with her index finger and smiled lovingly, "I can't go on a date with you guys!"

"Coach Zhu," Ye Zhenzhen called out coquettishly, "Do you know what I'm talking about?"

"I married the swimming pool." Zhu Youlin looked at them with a flash of pain in her eyes and said, "I will fight for my career all my life."

"What do you mean?" Ye Zhenzhen asked curiously, "You don't plan to find a man to marry again? You're still so young."

"I've had a miscarriage, so the chances of getting pregnant again are slim. Why would I want to get married?" Zhu Youlin looked at them calmly and said frankly, "I've dedicated my life to the swimming pool."

"Assisted reproductive technology is very advanced now." Lin Jingzhe looked at her with concern.

"For an elderly mother, forget it." Zhu Youlin looked at them with her distinct black and white eyes and said, "Asking me to give up my current career to serve men, old or young, is neither meritorious nor hard work. No."

"You can have both career and family." Ye Zhenzhen said, staring at her with her fox eyes.

"It's unlikely. Human energy is limited." Zhu Youlin looked at them with her deep, bright eyes and said, "One of the men and women has to give in. And in reality, women usually give in more. I've already given in to him once, and now I don't want to give in to anyone else!"

"What will you do when you get old?" Zina looked at Coach Zhu worriedly.

"I have a pension, it's guaranteed." Zhu Youlin smiled gently.

"I will take care of you in your old age." Lin Jingzhe looked at her with pure eyes and said.

"Haha..." Zhu Youlin smiled at her and said, "I like to hear that, but there's no need for that. If that day ever comes, I'll end up living in a nursing home."

"Some nursing homes are very shady! If you don't have any relatives, you don't know how you will be bullied!" Lin Jingzhe said to her with a frown.

"I was just saying that," Zhu Youlin said with a laugh. "May God bless me to live to old age without illness or disaster, and die in my sleep without suffering at all." She continued with a smile, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm not even forty yet! It's too early to start enjoying retirement!" Her almond-shaped eyes smiled at them and said, "Let's work hard to pass the Olympic trials first."

"Yes!" Lin Jingzhe and the others shouted in unison, full of fighting spirit.

On rest days, there are obviously fewer people coming to training.

"Next year is the Olympic year. I thought everyone would cancel their vacation and come to training!" Zina said, looking around the training hall.

"Taking a day off won't make a difference. Being tense all the time might have a negative impact on your grades. After you relax and come back, your grades will actually be better." Lin Jingzhe said, looking at them with deep and clear eyes.

"Maybe! Don't worry about others." Zina looked at them with round eyes and said, "There are not many people, so there is no need to fight over the equipment."

"Hehe..." Ye Zhenzhen's fox eyes curved into crescents.

After training day after day and year after year, Lin Jingzhe and the other three successfully qualified for the Olympics in the Olympic trials.

"Wow..." Ye Zhenzhen said happily as she jumped and danced.

"Quiet, quiet." Lin Jingzhe put his index finger to his lips and said, "Some people have been brushed off. Don't rub salt into their wounds."

"Oh oh!" Ye Zhenzhen covered her mouth and said, a muffled laugh escaping from her fingers.

"Let's go out, go out." Zina said, pointing outside.

Lin Jingzhe and the others quickly changed their clothes and left the locker room.

"Although we've qualified, no one is optimistic about us." Lian Ximei grumbled with a pout, looking worriedly at Ye Zhenzhen, whose main sport was backstroke.

"You're talking about the person who won the gold medal in the backstroke competition." Lin Jingzhe looked at her with his clear and bright eyes.

"Yes! She broke the Asian record in the trials. The media and the coaching staff are all optimistic about her winning the gold medal in the Olympics." Ye Zhenzhen said, looking at them calmly.

"Winning gold is a far cry from winning a gold medal!" Lin Jingzhe comforted her, "Don't let your imagination run wild."

"No, I'm just stating the facts." Ye Zhenzhen took a few deep breaths to calm herself down and said, "Her swimsuit seems to be made of shark skin. I heard she bought it abroad with her own money."

"Since she's already wearing it for the competition, the door has been opened. I guess for the sake of results, the higher-ups will compromise. We can hopefully wear it too." Lin Jingzhe said confidently, his sparkling peach blossom eyes staring at them without blinking as he said, "Have confidence."

"I'm absolutely confident that in 6, the world swimming world will continue to experience record-breaking," Zina said excitedly. "In March, at the Australian Olympic trials, seven world records were broken in seven days. At the European Swimming Championships, athletes from France, the Netherlands, and Italy also set a total of six world records." Her eyes glowed green as she continued, "Since mid-February, in the six weeks since then, sixteen new world records have been set in the aqua pool. Fifteen of those records were set by athletes wearing sharkskin swimsuits."

"Don't get excited. We are not included in these broken world records." Lin Jingzhe said, looking at them with his deep and dark eyes.

"Oh! Jingzhe always likes to throw cold water on us." Lian Ximei muttered softly, "Can't we just be happy for a moment? We can still break the record if we put on sharkskin swimsuits."

"That's what I want to say. Don't let the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." Lin Jingzhe said with his dark eyes as he looked at them who were in madness.

"I know, I know!" Zina said with a slight curl of her lips. "We also want to put on sharkskin swimsuits and compete with them. We'll accept any outcome."

Lin Jingzhe breathed a sigh of relief, "I was really worried that you might go astray."

"How could that be? I've been training for so many years, and it's still mainly relying on myself. The swimsuit is just an added bonus, but it doesn't play a decisive role." Lian Ximei looked at her with her black and white eyes and said.

"By the way, Jingzhe, your results in the tryouts were pretty good!" Ye Zhenzhen looked her up and down and said, "You both came in first place."

"But it didn't break the record." Lin Jingzhe said with some disappointment.

"There are still a few months left! You haven't adjusted to your best condition yet. When you get excited, your results will be good." Zina encouraged her, "You become stronger when you face stronger opponents."
