Before the match that evening, Lu Wei received a call from his mother as usual.

"Son, who are you in the same group with tonight? After yesterday's match, your dad and I didn't have time to check the semi-final matchups tonight."

Lu Wei thought for a moment: "We have Merritt, but we're not familiar with most of the others..."

"Run however you want, give him a taste of his own medicine. If he goes crazy, don't try to outmaneuver him. Just aim for second place in the group and make it to the finals. I'm most afraid of you being grouped with that mad dog. That kid doesn't play the same game twice."

As soon as Mrs. Lu finished speaking into the microphone, Mr. Lu's voice could be heard: "The child is about to have a competition, and you're still chatting like this. Can't you get straight to the point?"

Judging from the voice on the other end of the phone, after a struggle, Mr. Lu, after testing the waters, found that Mrs. Lu was defending her phone with the spirit of "the city will stand as long as I live," so he retreated sheepishly.

Only after Lu's mother finished speaking did she hand the phone to Lu's father, reminding him during the handover: "Keep it short, don't let it affect your son's competition preparations!"

Lu Wei chuckled upon hearing this; his mother's vengeful nature was truly remarkable, and she believed in karma in this life.

"Son, the competition shouldn't be too tense anymore by today, right?"

"Yeah, I've already played seven matches. If I were still nervous, I'd be just naturally sensitive. At least I wasn't nervous before the semifinals; I was already numb to it!"

Every time Lu Wei heard his father call him "son," he felt that the other man was taking advantage of him. If you were to calculate his age at the time of his transmigration, his father was actually not much older than him, and at most he could be called "brother."

Sigh, well, I guess I'll just have to accept being someone else's son's body and consider myself a godfather.

"I knew it! It's rare to see someone so carefree. If it were me, I would have been tormented by anxiety and looked like a ghost by now..."

Lu Wei thought for a moment and said, "Brother... no, Dad, I was thinking of buying a house for you and Mom after the competition. Our current house is a bit small, and I heard that house prices will rise in the future, so I'm thinking of buying one for you to live in first."

There was a slight silence on the other end of the phone, then Lu's father's voice came through: "The house isn't old, so just live there for now. We can buy another one for you to use as your wedding home."

You could tell from his voice that Mr. Lu's voice was trembling a little. He had raised his son for so long, and now that he had finally grown up, he knew how to repay his parents.

When Mrs. Lu noticed the change in Mr. Lu's expression, she wanted to come up and listen, but Mr. Lu pushed her away. As the head of the family, he wanted to enjoy the process himself.

Although I was very happy, it also felt so sudden. Nearly 21 years of memories flashed through my mind, and I felt very complicated.

“It’s okay. I’ll buy another one when I get married. The housing prices here aren’t expensive to begin with. One square meter here can buy more than ten square meters back home. I should have enough money.”

"There's no rush. Focus on your competition first. Acquiring more family assets is a big deal. We can discuss it when you get back! Okay, it won't affect your competition. Let's talk again when you have time!"

As soon as Lu Wei finished speaking, his father spoke up, his tone resolute and full of vigor. When he said those words, Lu Wei felt as if his father had been injected with stimulants, becoming incredibly passionate and enthusiastic.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Wei was a little confused. He couldn't understand why his father's last words suddenly gave people a sense of strength and resilience.

Of course, he has never experienced watching a child grow up, nor has he experienced growing up in human society and the process of being cared for by his parents, so he cannot empathize with them.

In this way, he couldn't imagine the feelings of relief and comfort the elderly couple would have after hanging up the phone.

After making the phone call, Lu Wei and the other members of the track and field team arrived at the Bird's Nest Stadium.

The first event on the track was the women's 200-meter semi-finals. This fast-paced competition served as an appetizer, immediately igniting the atmosphere among the spectators.

Next up was the women's 5000m preliminary round, where African athletes dominated, with dark skin becoming the dominant color on the field. After the two heats, a total of 12 athletes advanced to the final, with African athletes taking 6 spots, and the United States, Turkey, and Russia occupying the remaining 6.

"Hello everyone, the men's 110m hurdles semi-finals are about to begin. Today, three athletes from the Chinese Athletics Team will compete in the semi-finals: Liu Yangyu, Shi Peng, and Ji Wei. Shi Peng is in the first group, where the strongest athlete is the American David Payne. After Trammell's unexpected elimination in the preliminaries, he will shoulder the responsibility of winning the gold medal for the American team."

There are no Chinese players in Group 2. The strongest player in this group is Robles from Cuba. Liu Yangyu will play in Group 3, where the strength is relatively even, with no particularly outstanding players, giving Liu Yangyu a very good chance. Ji Wei has been placed in Group 4, where the opponents are quite strong, including David Oliver and Doucoure. It will be very difficult for him to finish in the top 3 and advance directly to the semifinals. Hopefully, he can overcome his limitations.

After the start of the first group race, Payne got a good ranking in the early stages and maintained his advantage to the finish line. His time was 13.24 seconds. Shi Peng also advanced to the semifinals with a third-place finish in the group.

In the second group, Robles did not encounter any challenges and finished first in his group with a time of 13.19 seconds.

"Liu Yangyu is about to appear. He is standing on the second lane of the race. Based on the results of the first two groups, he must run around 13.4 seconds to advance to the next round. I wonder if Liu Yangyu can overcome his Achilles tendon problem today and successfully advance to the next round."

When a Chinese player took the field, Yang Li's voice remained high-pitched and excited. With his commentary, even Lu's mother, watching on TV, became very excited.

"Liu Yangyu looks to be in great spirits, almost like a completely different person compared to yesterday. The referee gave the order to take his position."

"The eight athletes on the field are ready to go!"

To provide a better viewing experience for television viewers, Yang Li deliberately lowered his voice.

"The race has started. Liu Yangyu was affected by his Achilles tendon injury at the start and is now in last place. Go Liu Yangyu!"

Just like in the previous race, Liu was still behind after the start, but judging from his movements, he was not very flustered. With the groundwork laid in yesterday's race, his performance was much more stable today.

After the first three hurdles, he gradually caught up with his opponents and then slowly overtook them. At this stage, other team members started hitting the hurdles. After hitting one hurdle, the Haitian athlete in lane 3 shifted his center of gravity significantly backward. He pushed off the ground with all his might and finally managed to adjust his center of gravity, but he had already been left behind by the other competitors.

Immediately afterwards, the Hungarian player's thigh also scraped against the hurdle, and the other players were in no better shape at this point.

"Liu Yangyu is in great form. He barely grazed the first five hurdles and is now overtaking!"

As Yang Li shouted with unbridled abandon, Liu Feiren gradually caught up, and influenced by him, the audience's shouts grew louder and louder. Infected by the audience, no one could remain calm in their seats; almost the entire audience stood up.

Liu Feiren overtook the second-place Barbadian athlete by a shoulder's length in the final moments, securing second place in his group.

"It was outstanding. Even with an Achilles tendon injury, Liu Yangyu still relied on his superb hurdling skills to surpass 6 opponents and finally won the second place in the group. The first place in the group was won by Jamaican athlete Vignar."

After crossing the finish line, Liu excitedly waved his fist at the stands, proving himself to the world once again.
