Love Guide for Childhood Sweethearts

After breakfast, it was time to leave, and Lin Jingzhe and the others gathered in the playground.

The school leaders gave speeches, summarizing the past and looking forward to the future, asking them to cherish the hard-won opportunities and train well.

I hope to see you again at school. I wish you good luck and bring glory to your country.

Amidst applause, Lin Jingzhe and her friends boarded the bus and were taken to the swimming training center.

"Where are they going?" Lin Jingzhe asked curiously.

"There are buses for the track and field team, the boxing team... taking them to other training centers," Zhu Youlin explained. "Some are in other cities." She looked at them gently and said, "Let's go!"

Zhu Youlin and another male coach were led into the training center by the receptionist of the training center.

After Lin Jingzhe and the others completed the formalities, they were first assigned dormitories.

"That's great, we can live in the same dormitory." Zina approached Lin Jingzhe and bumped her shoulder.

"Speak softly." Lin Jingzhe said in a low voice.

The corridor was deserted, with every room door tightly shut.

Lin Jingzhe and the others found their room numbers, opened the door, and walked straight in.

"Oh! This room doesn't seem as good as the one in the sports school." Zina walked into the dormitory room, looked around and said softly.

"Our sports school is newly built, and this place shows traces of time." Lin Jingzhe put the luggage on the desk.

There are two people in a dormitory, which looks smaller than the four-person dormitory in the sports school.

"It looks like it has just been renovated." Lin Jingzhe said as he looked at the tables, chairs, benches, beds and storage.

"How do you know?" Zina blinked her round eyes and looked at her.

"The paint on the desk, chair, and bed isn't worn off at all." Lin Jingzhe pointed at the wall again. "There's no paint peeling at all. The hooks are only slightly marked, so you can't tell unless you look closely."

"Wow..." Zina said, staring at the wall. "It's real!" She bent down and stared at the desk and chair. "Brand new, brand new."

"After all, it's a provincial team, and they're rich and powerful." Lin Jingzhe shook out the bedding that was distributed, climbed onto the bed, and began to make the sheets, put on the pillowcases, and the quilt cover.

"Jingzhe, why can't I see the air conditioner?" Zina said, pointing to the room.

"Central air conditioning!" Lin Jingzhe pointed to the exhaust vent on the ceiling.

All other necessary hardware facilities are available, including separate toilet and shower room.

"I see." Zina's round eyes looked at the red ribbon tied on it. "I was wondering what this was." She climbed onto the bed swiftly and made it. "It doesn't feel as lively here as at school."

"Everyone who comes here has something to aspire to." Lin Jingzhe said as he sat cross-legged on the bed.

Zina shook her head and chuckled, "You're really good at describing things." Then she added worriedly, "Will it be very strict?"

"What do you think?" Lin Jingzhe asked with a smile, "The key lies in yourself. If you slack off for a moment, you'll be pushed back."

"I know." Zina said, suppressing the smile on her face.

"Let's go!" Lin Jingzhe rolled over and got out of bed. "They're going to take us on a tour of the training center."

Lin Jingzhe and the other newcomers looked like country bumpkins, but after visiting the training center, they found that the training facilities were indeed much better than those at the sports school.

Everyone was training seriously, and no one was talking at all. They just looked up at them, nodded at them, and continued training.

"I'll introduce you to each other later. Don't disturb their training now." The team leader looked at them and said.

Lin Jingzhe and the others were taken by the team leader to visit the training center's training hall, cafeteria, and surrounding environment.

Disbanded! Free time. Official training begins tomorrow.

It was a bit too hot to stand under the sun in May, so Lin Jingzhe sat on a bench under the shade of a tree. The mottled sunlight fell on his body, neither cold nor hot.

The breeze is very comfortable.

"It feels different from what I expected?" Ye Zhenzhen said with her fox eyes slightly raised.

"What's the difference?" Lian Ximei looked at her with deep eyes and said.

"Not very enthusiastic." Ye Zhenzhen said with wandering eyes.

"We just met, and we haven't even exchanged a word, yet you're so enthusiastic!" Lin Jingzhe looked at them with amusement and said, "Should we stand at the door with flowers and welcome them, welcome, a warm welcome!"

"That's not the case." Ye Zhenzhen shuddered when she heard that. The scene was too beautiful to imagine.

"The provincial team is definitely not a sports school. The teachers and coaches treat us like children and coax us along." Lin Jingzhe looked at them with dark, moist eyes and said, "Here, we are teammates and competitors, okay?"

Zina looked at her thoughtfully and said, "Teammate's unity in facing the outside world during the competition requires you to qualify, right?"

"Hmm!" Lin Jingzhe looked at them calmly and said, "We need to change our mindset. We came here to climb to the top, not to play around."

"I understand! It has always been the case that people adapt to the environment, not the environment adapting to people." Zina nodded vigorously after hearing this.

Lin Jingzhe looked at them with his deep and penetrating eyes and said, "No matter where you are, grades are your passport, and the strong are respected!"

"There shouldn't be any competition between us!" Lian Ximei pointed at them and said, "There's no overlap in our swimming events."

"There's competition with the seniors and other masters in the country." Ye Zhenzhen said as she looked at them with her shiny black fox eyes.

"Only by defeating them can we qualify for the international competition." Lian Ximei looked at them with her dark eyes and said, "There are always people who are better than you, and there are always mountains beyond you."

"Now that you mention that, I suddenly feel a lot of pressure." Zina swallowed and said.

"I don't know how many people have fallen on this road." Lin Jingzhe looked at them with his dark pupils and said, "They died before they could achieve their goal."

"What are you talking about?" Zhu Youlin walked over and looked at them and said.

"We're talking about how to integrate into the environment as quickly as possible." Zina turned around and said to Coach Zhu who was walking over.

"Are you nervous?" Zhu Youlin asked them with concern.

"It's definitely a little strange because of the unfamiliar environment," Lian Ximei said truthfully.

"Don't be afraid! Although the training is rigorous, they still care about you in real life." Zhu Youlin gave them a reassuring look and said, "You'll understand after you get to know them. I will help you."

"I know." Ye Zhenzhen said to Coach Zhu with her fox eyes curved.

"Coach Zhu, do we still have a chance to participate in the Asian Games?" Zina asked her with her round eyes.

"If you pass the trials, you will be eligible to join the national team." Zhu Youlin said to them with her deep almond-shaped eyes.

"Are we going to select together with the seniors?" Lian Ximei said, looking at the training center.

"Of course, everyone has to participate in the selection process, whether they are in good or bad condition or injured. Only those with the best results will be selected." Zhu Youlin looked at them with bright eyes and said, "This is the fairest way."
