"Right, right, right!" Ye Zhenzhen echoed, looking at Lin Jingzhe and encouragingly saying, "Believe in yourself! You are invincible in freestyle swimming."

"Don't be discouraged! We'll know whether you can do it or not after the competition." Zina said, staring at her with her round eyes.

"The fact that we passed the trials successfully proves that we are very strong." Lian Ximei said, waving her fist.

"If we can't do it, no one else can do it either." Ye Zhenzhen said the truth.

"Let's keep working hard together." Lin Jingzhe looked at them encouragingly.

To be honest, I really have no idea about this!

Just when Lin Jingzhe was feeling uneasy, Lin's parents were overjoyed.

"Her dad, I really didn't expect it! Our daughter actually participated in the Olympics." Lin's mother said excitedly with a flushed face, "This is the Olympics! The Olympics!"

"Don't get excited, don't get excited." Father Lin looked at her, who was overjoyed, and said, "Qualifying for the Olympics doesn't mean you'll definitely win a gold medal." Pointing to his notebook, he said, "Our daughter has won many gold medals in swimming, and you often follow the world swimming scene..."

Mother Lin wilted like an eggplant hit by frost. She looked at her lover with dissatisfaction and said, "Can't you just let me be happy? Why are you so eager to pour cold water on me?"

"We have to face the reality! Look at those world records being broken so fast, how many of them are our athletes?" Father Lin said matter-of-factly, even though the reality was so cruel.

"Alas..." Lin's mother looked at him with resentment, like a deflated balloon. "If participation is the most important thing, how sad would our daughter be! She's been training day and night for years and hasn't even come home."

"Don't think Nannan is so fragile. She already knows her own limits in the speed race." Father Lin looked at her with his inky eyes and said, "This really depends on your strength!"

"What's so lacking in our strength?" Lin's mother said unconvinced.

"It's hard to say. We don't understand! You and I are both outsiders." Father Lin said with a self-deprecating smile, "I really can't help you at all."

"How can I help you?" Lin's mother sighed, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she said, "Oh! That's a lot of money!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? This isn't like other races with referees where they can tamper with the situation. All they have to do is bribe the referee." Father Lin chuckled. "How many athletes would you have to bribe for this race?" He was amused by his own thoughts. "Stop imagining it."

"I'm not imagining things, I've just been working hard for so many years..." Lin's mother said sadly.

"You're right. After all these years of hard work, so many people have failed along the way! What will happen if they don't even qualify?" Father Lin held her hand and squeezed it. "After all, there's only one gold medal." He patted her hand and said softly, "When Nannan calls, please don't mention the gold medal! We're already very happy to be standing on the Olympic stage."

"Of course I don't know that." Mother Lin said with a smile in her eyes. "Try to tell me where you're going after the Olympics and what you want to eat."

"What you should be concerned about now is Weiwei. The college entrance examination is coming soon." Father Lin said to her with his eyes as gentle as jade.

"Weiwei always gets first place in exams, so there's nothing to worry about." Mother Lin said with a bright smile, "With strength, the brave are fearless."

"When people miscalculate, horses miscalculate..."

Before Father Lin could finish his words, Mother Lin said in displeasure, "Pooh... How can you say that! Bad things don't work, good things do." She pulled his arm and said, "Hurry up, Chu Cui."

"Okay, okay!" Father Lin said obediently, "The bad ones don't work, but the good ones do."

"Weiwei has participated in provincial and national competitions in physics, chemistry, and mathematics in recent years, and has won good places and prizes. She can definitely be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University. That child wants to take the exam on her own." Lin's mother looked at him with a look of satisfaction.

"I wonder what you're thinking?" Father Lin looked at her in surprise and said, "Didn't you ask?"

"Did you ask?" Mother Lin said, looking at her lover with a mixture of laughter and tears. "Guess what the child said?"

"How would I know if you don't tell me?" Father Lin looked at her with amusement and urged, "Hurry up and tell me, hurry up and tell me."

"I heard that last year's top scorer in science received one million in various bonuses alone." Mother Lin stroked her forehead and looked at her with a wry smile.

Hearing this, Father Lin looked at her with mixed feelings, pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "She'll feel more reliable with her own money, right?" He smiled and added, "That's a good thing." Stroking her hand, he said, "When we raise children, isn't it because we hope that they can at least support themselves?"

"But isn't this robbing others of their opportunities?" Mother Lin said, blinking at him.

"We rely on our strength," Lin's father said righteously. "Besides, Weiwei didn't want the admission quota and gave it to someone else." He frowned slightly and added, "Do you think the top scorer is easy to get? I'm worried about her exam..." Under his lover's sharp eyes, he slammed on the brakes and said, "I won't say anything unlucky."

"It's a good thing I didn't say it." Mother Lin sighed and said in a hurry, "I will go to Lingyin Temple to worship tomorrow. I will go there for the next two months, and even after the exams."

"It's close anyway, let's go!" Father Lin nodded with a smile.

Time is passing by minute by minute, and the Olympics are getting closer and closer. The coaching staff is relieving the pressure on the children, especially those who are participating in the Olympics for the first time, so that they will not make mistakes due to nervousness.

As usual, after finishing the evening training, Lin Jingzhe and the others left the training venue.

The summer wind was not cool at all, but rather stuffy.

The hot air is coming, it's very stuffy, the air is so humid that it seems like water can flow out. I wonder if it will rain.

Ye Zhenzhen looked at them as if she had just been pulled out of water and asked, "Are you nervous?"

"It's okay! There's no point in being nervous, so I'm not too nervous." Lin Jingzhe looked at them with eyes like glass beads and said frankly.

"I've experienced competitions big and small, so I'm not nervous anymore." Zina said with her neck stiff, trying to remain calm, as if this could convince herself.

"Me too." Lian Ximei said with a trembling voice.

"I don't think the seniors who participated in the Olympics are too nervous." Ye Zhenzhen said as she watched them walk with her fox eyes.

"Maybe he's nervous! But we can't see it!" Zina said nervously, clenching her hands.

"You still have the mood to care about whether others are nervous or not!" Lian Ximei looked at Ye Zhenzhen with a smile and said, "Let's take care of ourselves."

"Isn't this just a distraction? Try to relax yourself." Ye Zhenzhen looked at her with bright black eyes and said timidly.
