Love Guide for Childhood Sweethearts

"Going back for dinner? Not a good idea. There's another traffic jam on the way. It's rush hour, what if we miss the game?" Lin Jingzhe hesitated for a moment before firmly shaking his head. He patted his bag and said, "We grabbed some fruit and drinks."

"We're doing the same. We'll fill our stomachs for a bit and eat more when we get back." Zina said with a grin, "Bananas are very good for calorie intake."

"When we watch tennis matches, the players always eat bananas during breaks," Lian Ximeishi said, pointing to his bag.

"It's not enough, I still have more here!" Zhu Youlin said as she looked at them with a smile in her almond-shaped eyes, pointing to her bulging backpack.

"Let's wait here for the competition. If we go somewhere else and something unexpected happens, we'll all be in a panic." Zina said, looking at them with her round eyes.

"Yeah!" Lin Jingzhe and the others nodded in agreement.

"Get up, get up, it's time to raise the national flag and play the national anthem." Lian Ximei reminded them who were facing away from the podium.

Lin Jingzhe and the others stood up quickly, straightened their clothes, and stood facing the national flag.

Lin Jingzhe and the others sang the national anthem solemnly and sat down again only after the national flag was raised.

"Our daughter was so serious when she sang the national anthem." Mother Lin sat down and said in a low voice.

"You were laughing and joking when you sang the national anthem!" Father Lin chuckled and shook his head when he heard that.

"I dare not." Lin's mother said directly, looking at her lover who was sitting down, "I noticed that the audience, the Chinese people, have also stood up."

"You should, go watch the flag-raising ceremony in Tiananmen Square." Father Lin said, looking at her with his bright dark eyes.

"It wasn't like that before. I don't know when it started." Lin's mother smiled brightly. "It's good. It's a very good patriotic education. Last National Day, my child and I stayed up half the night just to watch the flag-raising ceremony."

"Hey! Why are they eating bananas? Don't they want to go back?" Lin's mother said, pointing at the children in the athletes' rest area.

"You're probably afraid of traffic jams on the way back!" Father Lin said after thinking for a while.

"That means they won't have dinner." Mother Lin stood up and said, "I'll go buy them some."

"Come back, come back." Father Lin stretched out his long arm and pulled her, saying, "Sit down, sit down."

"Why are you pulling me? You should go too and help serve the food." Mother Lin looked at him with starry eyes and urged him.

"They don't know how to buy food outside! They would rather eat bananas than go out. That means it's not appropriate to buy food outside." Father Lin looked at her with his deep black eyes and said.

"Uh..." Mother Lin sighed and said, "The organizers are really unreliable." Then she added, "How about just eating bananas? Swimming is very tiring."

"That should be possible." Father Lin said with a smile, "Eat more, and there's milk, biscuits, and so on." He smiled and added, "The coach will find a way."

"What a hassle." Lin's mother said unhappily, "The service is really poor."

"Not every country can compare with us." Father Lin said with a snort.

"I hope it won't affect the competition." Mother Lin clasped her hands together and prayed. Suddenly she remembered, "We haven't won a gold medal in the medley relay yet!"

"I don't know about the World Championships, but the Olympics have always been dominated by the Americans." Lin's father raised his eyebrows and looked at her and said, "I checked. Before the 2008 Olympics, swimming only won one individual gold medal in each Olympics."

"Is it so miserable?" Mother Lin's eyes almost popped out of the window when she heard that.

"It's so tragic! Didn't we just take home a single gold medal at the last World Championships?" Lin's father said, looking at her with his bright dark eyes. "Europe and the United States dominate the swimming world. They're not just talk, they really are very strong."

"If the mixed relay team wins the gold medal, it will make history." Lin's mother looked at him excitedly and said.

"Yes!" Father Lin said with a smile on his face.

"Oh!" Lin's mother rubbed her hands excitedly.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited. The competition hasn't started yet! We don't know the result yet!" Father Lin said quickly, looking at her blushing cheeks with his dark, bright eyes.

"We've already won championships in all four individual events, so the medley shouldn't be a problem." Mother Lin said, her eyes gleaming as she looked at him. "A strong combination, the sum of one is greater than the two."

"There are still surprises! No one can guarantee the results until they're announced." Father Lin suppressed his smile and said, "That's the charm of competitive sports. Nothing is certain. Don't pop the champagne in advance." He added gently, "A few hours won't make a difference. Wait a little longer."

"I know!" Lin's mother waved her fist and said with a firm look in her eyes, "I believe them."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. What do you think of that Jacob?" Father Lin said with a gloomy face, "He always gives awards to Nannan."

"What do you mean by 'how do you look at it'? He's just an award presenter." Mother Lin looked at her calmly and said.

"Aren't you moved?" Father Lin looked at her with his deep black eyes and said, "As a woman."

Mother Lin was stunned when she heard this, then looked at him with amusement and said, "Look, our daughter looks touched." She snorted and said, "If it weren't for the public and the constraints of politeness, our daughter would beat him up. This would only annoy people and she wouldn't care about people's feelings."

"It's not that a virtuous woman is afraid of a clingy man." Father Lin said with some concern.

"It depends on what the girl thinks. If she's attracted to him, or if she likes him, then Nanfang's persistence and shamelessness will work." Mother Lin looked at her with her clear, starry eyes and said, "Otherwise, it would be harassment and cause trouble to the girl. You should call the police." She smiled and said, "Look, our daughter seems happy and likes him. She won't even look at him."

"That's right!" Father Lin blinked his dark eyes and said, "The silver and bronze medalists kept their eyes on him, and the audience seemed to like him very much, too."

"That's normal. Beautiful people, regardless of gender, are always liked by others." Mother Lin said with a smile in her eyes, "Everyone loves beauty."

"Is he handsome?" Father Lin said sourly.

"Handsome! Like a movie star." Lin's mother said with a smile, looking at her lover's sour face, "Of course not as handsome as my child's father."

Father Lin's face was coaxed into a smile again and he said, "That's more like it."

"I'm already his mother, what are you thinking about?" Lin's mother looked at him with a helpless smile.

"No matter if you're a man or a woman, youth is your capital! Who likes old people?" Father Lin said, looking at her with his dark eyes. "Women are looking for rich men, and men are also very realistic in looking for rich women."

"Hey! He is richer than us." Lin's mother kindly reminded.

"He is a capitalist who made his money by exploiting the working people of his country." Father Lin snorted.
