Love Guide for Childhood Sweethearts

"At the Olympics, the psychological pressure on athletes is incredibly high." Shen Ze looked at his friend with his dark, bright eyes, a smile forming in his eyes as he spoke in disbelief, "I never thought that the little girl following behind us could achieve such great things."

"No one could have imagined this," Lin Xingzhi said, looking at him with his dark, bright eyes. "When Nannan went to sports school, we even tried to stop her! It was too hard. Why would she have to endure that? Who would have thought she'd make progress every year?"

"We have no idea about the hard work behind it. Nannan never lets us watch her training." Shen Ze looked at him with deep and penetrating eyes.

"I'm afraid they can't bear it. Look at those athletes, they have plasters on their bodies!" Lin Xingzhi said with a sour nose.

"Hey! Speaking of plasters, Nannan doesn't seem to have any!" Shen Ze blinked and looked at him and said, "I don't know if she has been injured or has been troubled by injuries."

"Nannan never said anything, and we never asked." Lin Xingzhi pointed at him and said, "Don't say such unlucky words! You deserve a beating!"

"Slap your mouth!" Shen Ze reached out and patted his own mouth, saying, "Stop being a jinx. Bad words won't work, good ones will."

"I'll call Nannan and ask." Lin Xingzhi took out his cell phone and said.

"Nannan is at the closing ceremony, it's impossible for her to bring her cell phone." Shen Ze pointed at the TV screen and reminded him.

Shen Ze stared at his flip phone with his distinct black and white eyes and said, "Speaking of mobile phones, the current Apple phones are amazing. They have ushered in the era of smart phones."

"Isn't it just moving a computer operating system to a phone?" Lin Xingzhi gestured with his hands. "Aren't the robots we develop also intelligent? Like the intelligent robots in science fiction movies."

"It would be great if the phone could control our robot." Shen Ze looked at him with his dark, shining eyes and said, then stood up and said, "I'm going to the lab."

"Hey! The closing ceremony isn't over yet!" Lin Xingzhi called out to him.

"It's over. The athletes have left the field. The London Eight Minutes have begun. It's up to you whether you want to watch it or not. If you want to, check it out online." Shen Ze glanced back at the TV and said, "Nannan won't be coming out again."

"I'm going too." Lin Xingzhi hurriedly turned off the TV and said to him.

"You're not paying attention to the U.S. stock market anymore. It's about to open." Shen Ze kindly reminded him.

"Then I'll watch the US stock market." Lin Xingzhi turned on the TV again, holding his notebook.

Seeing this, Shen Ze smiled and left the room.

After Lin Jingzhe and the others gathered for the closing ceremony, they took a bus back to the General Administration.

"This Olympics is completely over." Zina said with a dim and sad look in her eyes.

"The next four years are about to begin." Lian Ximei said as she looked at them with her watery eyes.

"There will be no major events this year." Lin Jingzhe said, looking at them with his deep brown eyes.

"Okay! Okay!" Ye Zhenzhen said happily, "We can..."

"No, we have to continue training and not slack off at all." Lian Ximei said as she looked at Ye Zhenzhen who was beaming with joy.

"I know! Let's continue training." Ye Zhenzhen said with a pout.

"I can't swim as well as I did in the Olympic Games now. I'm afraid I'll lose, it would be so embarrassing." Zina said worriedly.

"Victory and defeat are common in the military," Zhu Youlin said, looking at the nervous women with her deep almond-shaped eyes. "The competition won't start until the second half of next year! We can recover."

"That's not bad. I haven't had any serious training these days." Lian Ximei said embarrassedly, "I can't even bear to look at these results."

"It's normal, don't worry too much." Zhu Youlin comforted them.

Zhu Youlin is very pleased that she has the drive and enthusiasm to work hard and does not rest on her laurels.

"Are we going to live in the new apartment today?" Lin Jingzhe asked Coach Zhu with great interest.

"Of course." Zhu Youlin smiled as she looked at them with her almond-shaped eyes. "Just move in. The place has already been cleaned."

They chatted all the way, and after getting off the bus, Lin Jingzhe and the others carried their luggage and went straight to the apartment building.

"Due to Jingzhe's request, the floor is not that high, it's the third floor." Zhu Youlin said after them, "It's a combination lock, you can change it yourselves later."

"Wow...is it so advanced?" Zina said in surprise with her eyes wide open.

"We're well-off thanks to our government grants!" Zhu Youlin whispered, her eyes flickering. "It's all used to improve our salaries." She pressed the combination lock and pushed the door open. "This is Jingzhe's room. The other rooms are decorated similarly. Warm yellow, very inviting."

"Wow...it's all soft packaging." Lin Jingzhe walked in and looked around. "It looks like the room in the TV show. It's quite big."

"It's over 60 square meters, more than enough for one person to live in." Zhu Youlin stood behind her and looked at them gently.

"We live here. How about you, Coach Zhu?" Lin Jingzhe turned around and looked at Coach Zhu with concern and asked.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zina and the others turned around and asked Coach Zhu, "Where do you live?"

"My salary has increased just like yours, and I also live in an apartment building, but it's not here." Zhu Youlin said, looking at them warmly.

"That's great." Lin Jingzhe and the others said happily when they heard it.

"It's late tonight, you should go to bed! We can talk about it tomorrow." Zhu Youlin looked at them with her bright almond-shaped eyes and said gently, "We will train here until it gets cold."

"Why?" Zina asked curiously.

"Because there's a commendation meeting! There are a series of activities." Zhu Youlin looked at them with a smile and said, "By the way! After the meeting, we will have a month-long vacation."

"Yeah! That's great." Ye Zhenzhen jumped up happily after hearing that.

"This way I can meet my boyfriend." Lian Ximei blurted out, and then she realized what she had said. She covered her mouth and looked at Ye Zhenzhen apologetically, with a look of regret on her face. How could she have let the secret slip?

Ye Zhenzhen secretly glanced at Coach Zhu and whispered, "Can you please pretend you didn't hear me?"

Zhu Youlin shook her head and laughed, "We're not monks, we're not supposed to be pure in mind and body, so we can still fall in love." Her gaze fell on Ye Zhenzhen again and she said sincerely, "I can't believe it, but it can't affect your grades! If your grades drop too much, you'll be kicked out."

"I know, I know." Ye Zhenzhen nodded hurriedly upon hearing this. "I prefer the gold medal now. I want to look at houses in the capital during my vacation."

"You want to buy a house!" Zhu Youlin said to her with her bright dark eyes.

"Yes! Yes!" Ye Zhenzhen's fox eyes curved into crescents as she looked at her and said, "I haven't been allocated a house yet. I want to buy one, pay the down payment, and rent it out. It will just cover the mortgage. If it's not enough, I have my salary to add a little every month."
