Love Guide for Childhood Sweethearts

"I was just about to eat!" Lin's mother said with a bright smile on her face. "Weiwei was admitted to our city's key high school. Except for a few points deducted for the Chinese composition, she got full marks in all other subjects. Your father is so happy."

A top student! It's normal. "Really? Congratulate her for me." Lin Jingzhe's bright eyes flashed red as he said, "Weiwei's hard work has paid off. You should reward Weiwei well."

"Of course." Mother Lin said with a smile, looking at her lover, "Did you hear that? The child's father."

"I heard it." Father Lin raised his voice and laughed, "Weiwei asked for a bicycle for herself, so it's convenient for her to go to school."

Lin Jingzhe raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He guessed that this bicycle was not cheap. Of course, he didn't know how many zeros were removed from the price he told Weiwei.

"When will your closed training end?" Lin's mother asked with concern, "Summer vacation is over, so you can come back now, right?"

"I have to participate in the National Games at the end of October, so I can't go home." Lin Jingzhe said gently, the setting sun shattering in his amber eyes. "Our home is too far from school, over 20 kilometers! It's a waste of time to go back and forth." Then he added, "The coach also suggested that we all live on campus."

"You're going to participate in this competition now!" Lin's father's voice came into the receiver. "Age?"

"Oh! I participated in the youth competition." Lin Jingzhe's bright peach blossom eyes flashed with a tiny light. "The coach said that I need to gain experience in major competitions."

"Alright then!" Father Lin said, "Train well and don't get hurt!"

"I know." Lin Jingzhe said with a smile in his amber eyes, "Wait until I bring you the gold medal."

"It doesn't matter whether you have a gold medal or not. As long as you are fine, that's all that matters." Father Lin said gently.

"What's the matter? Don't you like this gold medal? You think it's too light." Lin Jingzhe said pretending to be angry.

"How could that be? Don't let your imagination run wild. We won't say anything even if you don't win the medal." Lin's mother leaned forward and spoke into the phone.

"Just kidding, I still want to win the gold medal." Lin Jingzhe said with his glassy eyes flashing with a tiny light, "I train hard for the gold medal, otherwise I'll be wasting my sweat."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Lin's mother said quickly, "Did you hear me?"

"I know, I know. The most important thing is participation! Friendship first, competition second." Lin Jingzhe raised the corners of his lips and smiled slightly when he heard that.

"Where is the competition? What's the specific number? I'll go and cheer for you." Father Lin said excitedly.

"No, no, no! I'll be very nervous if you come." Lin Jingzhe stopped and said quickly, "Don't delay your work."

"How can this delay work?" Lin's father said jokingly, "We'll go film it for you. I don't think there will be much footage of the National Games on TV, or even just a one-sentence news item."

"I really, really don't want you to come." Lin Jingzhe's glassy eyes flickered as he said, "What if I lose?"

"Okay, okay, we won't go." Father Lin said briskly, "Can we go again when you're strong enough mentally?"

"Okay, okay!" Lin Jingzhe said hurriedly, "Thank you, Dad!"

"Girl, what are you thanking me for?" Lin's father said jokingly, "Please call us when you win a medal!"

"Okay!" Lin Jingzhe responded cheerfully, "You guys eat! I should go to training."

"Alright then! Be careful with your training." Father Lin said gently, "Wait a minute, come back this weekend. I have something important to announce."

"Weekend?" Lin Jingzhe pursed his lips.

"Isn't it possible to have two hours for lunch? It won't interfere with your training." Father Lin frowned slightly and said, "Come to our house for dinner. Our whole family is here."

"Okay then!" Lin Jingzhe had no choice but to say after hearing this.

"Nannan, can we go watch you train?" Lin's mother leaned over to her lover's hand holding the phone and said.

Lin Jingzhe's peach blossom eyes flickered when he heard this and said, "It's better not to come. I'm afraid you can't bear it."

"How could that be?" Lin's mother said in disbelief, "You're afraid I'll disturb you! I'll stay away."

Lin Jingzhe's glassy eyes turned and said, "The training is very hard, and you will feel bad."

"Uh..." Mother Lin hesitated for a moment after hearing this, "Then I'd better not go. Be careful during training." She sat down again.

"We talk on the phone often. I'm fine." Lin Jingzhe said cheerfully, with joy in his voice.

Father Lin said gently, "I'm hanging up now. I won't delay your training." Then he hung up the phone.

"Is the training very hard?" Mother Lin said, blinking her starry eyes as she looked at them. "I think the training is very easy for our daughter!"

"The higher you go, the more masters there are, and the harder the training becomes." Father Lin put his phone on the dining table.

"Mom, a sword's sharpness comes from grinding, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." Lin Xingzhi looked at her with his dark, bright eyes and said, "It's been hard work! It's beyond our imagination, with sweat and tears."

"Nannan, I was right not to let you go and see." Father Lin held his lover's hand and stroked it.

"Then why..."

Before Mother Lin could finish her words, Father Lin interrupted her, "It's rare that our daughter likes it. You have to be determined to stick to it. We should be happy when our daughter grows up." He patted his lover's hand.

I don’t know if that girl is fighting so hard because the child is not her biological child.

What a silly child! The love and care they have nurtured for more than ten years cannot be severed by blood. Father Lin thought to himself, thinking of the child they raised with all their heart.

Lin Xingzhi, who was sitting next to Lin's father, asked curiously, "Dad, you really aren't going!" There was a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"No." Father Lin said seriously.

"Really?" Lin Xingzhi looked at him suspiciously and said, "There won't be much news about a National Games like this, and there won't be many pictures." He said coquettishly, "Please don't keep me in suspense."

"I'll have someone take photos and record the game." Father Lin looked at him with a smile and said, "It'll be a commemoration."

"I don't know what kind of swimming results our daughter can achieve." Mother Lin said as she looked at them with shining eyes.

"If the child won't tell us, don't ask!" Father Lin looked at them with his distinct black and white eyes and said, "Don't ask anyone."

"Got it." Lin's mother and the others nodded in unison. "Oh, I forgot to ask where Nannan was competing."

"Just check it online and you'll find out." Lin Xingzhi said simply and briskly.

"It's Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties." Father Lin said as he looked at them with his black and white eyes.

"How did you know?" Lin's mother looked at her lover in surprise.

"Since Nannan decided to continue practicing sports, I have noted down the dates of all the competitions." Father Lin said with a gentle look.
