"Eat! I have something to tell you after dinner." Zhu Youlin said to them with a smile on her face.

"You should speak first!" Ye Zhenzhen looked at her nervously and said.

"It's a good thing not to be nervous." Zhu Youlin smiled at them with her delicate almond-shaped eyes.

"Then let's eat first." Lin Jingzhe suppressed the doubts in his mind.

Lin Jingzhe and the other three devoured their breakfast in no time.

Zina put down her chopsticks and looked at Coach Zhu and said, "Coach Zhu, please go ahead!"

"You really can't wait." Zhu Youlin looked at them with a mixture of laughter and tears and said, "Okay! I said the date for our visit to Hong Kong is set. It's on the 29th of this month, which is four days from now. We'll fly to Hong Kong."

"I haven't been to Hong Kong yet! That's great." Ye Zhenzhen said with a smile on her face, "We can go shopping in Hong Kong."

"You can go and see the Hong Kong in Hong Kong dramas." Zina said to Coach Zhu with sparkling eyes.

"Aren't we celebrating too early?" Lian Ximei reminded them, "Olympic athletes visiting Hong Kong is a privilege only afforded to champions."

"Ah!" Zina and Ye Zhenzhen exchanged a glance, then looked at Coach Zhu cautiously and asked, "Only the gold medalists go?"

Ye Zhenzhen curled her lips and said awkwardly, "Come to think of it, this is a treatment only champions get."

This moment made them clearly feel the gap.

"No wonder we have to talk about it after dinner. If we had said it before dinner, the meal wouldn't taste good." Lian Ximei said pitifully with a pout.

"Jingzhe, help us take a good look at the prosperous and decadent world of Hong Kong." Zina looked at her with a dim and mixed look in her eyes.

"Can you please listen to what I have to say?" Zhu Youlin said with amusement as she looked at them who were complaining about themselves.

"What are you talking about? Only champions can go, and we are not that person." Ye Zhenzhen said dejectedly with a pout.

"Considering that our swimming team performed well in this Olympic Games and you three have won medals, you can go too." Zhu Youlin looked at them with a smile in her almond-shaped eyes and said gently.

"Yeah!" Ye Zhenzhen and the other three stood up excitedly and said, "Great, we can go too..."

"Sit down, sit down." Zhu Youlin pressed her hands down and looked at the athletes in the cafeteria who were looking at them.

Zina and the others shrank their necks in embarrassment and sat down quickly.

"Can we really go?" Lian Ximei asked worriedly, looking at Coach Zhu eagerly for confirmation.

"Why would I lie to you?" Zhu Youlin looked at the three nervous girls with amusement, and said to them gently, "Really."

"Oh! That's great, we can go to Hong Kong to play." Ye Zhenzhen said to Coach Zhu with a blushing face.

"But, aren't only champions there?" Lian Ximei looked at her puzzledly and said.

"Our swimming team has done well this year. Anyone with medals can go." Zhu Youlin said, looking at them gently.

Zina and the others all looked at Lin Jingzhe, "We are probably taking advantage of you!"

"What does this have to do with me? It's the result of your own hard work." Lin Jingzhe looked at them with his innocent eyes and said, "Besides, this was decided by the higher-ups. I don't have that much power."

"We earned that ourselves." Ye Zhenzhen said with a smile.

"It must be because of Jingzhe." Zina looked at her gently with her round eyes.

"It's more the result of your hard work." Zhu Youlin said to them softly with her dark eyes.

"All, all." Lian Ximei said, looking at Coach Zhu and Lin Jingzhe with her watery eyes.

"Oh! We can go to Hong Kong too." Zina said happily with her hands clasped together.

"Actually, it's only three days. We need to act as a group. How can we let you act alone?" Zhu Youlin said with a smile as she looked at the innocent children.

"Ah!" Lian Ximei said with regret.

"Can I not go?" Lin Jingzhe looked at Coach Zhu with his moist eyes like an elk and said in a low voice.

"What?" Zhu Youlin suspected that she had heard it wrong.

"I don't want to go." Lin Jingzhe said bluntly again.

"Why?" Zhu Youlin looked at her in surprise and asked.

"That's right!" Zina and the other three had the same question, "That's Hong Kong!"

"No reason?" Lin Jingzhe rubbed his nose with his index finger and said to them with puzzled faces.

"This is tradition. You have to not go for no reason." Zhu Youlin looked at her with her bright almond-shaped eyes and said.

"Tradition?" Ye Zhenzhen looked at Coach Zhu with her fox eyes curved. "Do you go to every Olympics?"

"I've heard of it before, but I don't know when it started." Zina looked at Coach Zhu with a questioning look on her face.

Zhu Youlin looked at them with her deep, clear eyes and said slowly, "This tradition started with the 88 Seoul Olympics. With the return of the Olympics in 97, this event has continued like a special promise."

"Three days, then let's go!" Lian Ximei said with a grin, "Let's see the colorful world outside."

"Yeah! Let's see where the Hong Kong dramas are." Zina said excitedly.

Lin Jingzhe said with little interest, "I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

"How could that be? Hong Kong is a great place." Zhu Youlin looked at her with her jade-like almond-shaped eyes and said.

"Then was there any change between the first time Coach Zhu went there and the later times?" Lin Jingzhe asked innocently while looking at her with his pure peach blossom eyes.

"Uh..." Zhu Youlin was stunned by the question and finally said, "No big changes."

"What about us?" Lin Jingzhe looked at her with bright eyes.

"Of course it changes with each passing day." Zina said excitedly, "Every time we leave and come back, the imperial capital is different."

"Of course, who can compare with the imperial capital!" Ye Zhenzhen said proudly.

"Who wants to see a city that hasn't changed in over a decade?" Lin Jingzhe said bluntly, "Cities start depreciating the day they're built."

"Ahem..." Zhu Youlin coughed twice and said angrily, "This kid's words are really..."

"I'm not wrong. Why is the old city being renovated?" Lin Jingzhe blinked his innocent peach blossom eyes and said to them.

"Don't I just like to see the old style?" Lian Ximei looked at her with her big, bright eyes.

"Yes, yes, yes! European castles." Zina nodded vigorously. "Those scenery posters are so beautiful. And, also, the castles in Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice on TV are so beautiful."

"How do you know? They don't have the money to renovate it! We can only say that we like this dilapidated look." Lin Jingzhe looked at them with his pure big eyes and sneered.
