Can't hide

Following He Guanghua for a while, Duan Zhuo felt emotional in his heart. After all, the training base of the national team, whether it is the swimming pool or the fitness area, is much larger than the provincial team.

He is not considered a road idiot, he can remember the road he walked in school once, but he lost his head here.The main reason is that the architectural styles are too similar, and there are flags flying in front of almost every building.

The dormitory building is divided into single rooms and double rooms, and the coach helped him arrange a single room.

The decoration is similar to that of an express hotel, except for the bed, wardrobe, and computer desk. However, his room is on a high floor, very close to the track and field, and the view is very good.

After putting down his luggage, He Guanghua took him to the cafeteria to eat.

He thought that he was the only one who hadn't eaten at this point, but when he opened the door, he found that the big round table in the center was full of people, both men and women, all of whom were old faces from the national competition.

When they saw him, they all stood up, Duan Zhuo was stupefied, turned his head and took a look to make sure that there was no one else behind him, stepped forward and bowed: "Senior brother, senior sister, hello."

"Long time no see, brother." Jiang Han was the first to stand up and speak, "We met on the field before, remember?"

"Champion, how could you not remember..."

All the athletes present were selected this time. After shaking hands with them one by one, Duan Zhuo scratched the back of his neck, feeling embarrassed: "You are not waiting for me, are you?"

"Of course." The short-haired senior sister handed him a dinner plate, "Order what you want."

The national team is a place where unity is extremely important. The coach will prepare a welcome ceremony for each new player, but because they cannot eat out, the place can only be in the base cafeteria.

Fortunately, the cafeteria has an extremely rich menu, mostly high-protein foods such as beef, sheep, fish and shrimp, as well as after-meal desserts, seasonal fruits and dairy products. You only need to swipe the special meal card, and Duan Zhuo has not had time to handle it yet. For the formalities, He Guanghua's meal card was used.

There are many TV sets hanging on the load-bearing columns and walls of the cafeteria. Without exception, they are all playing games, such as track and field, swimming, table tennis, badminton, and football volleyball.

There is an acrylic menu on each table, but what is stuck inside is not the canteen dishes, but the recommended value of daily calorie supply for elite athletes issued by the National Sports Bureau.

In kilocalories, sorted from small to large.

The minimum required intake is chess and cards, 2000 to 2800 kcal per day, followed by diving, shooting, rhythmic gymnastics and so on.He went down and paused when he saw the short track speed skating event.

Jiang Sui needs to consume 4200 kcal every day.

Swimming is in the last row, tied with triathlon, road cycling, and wrestling, and the daily intake needs to be more than 4700 kcal.

He had no idea about this number, so he searched the Internet. Every 100 grams of apples can produce about 60 kilocalories of heat. A fist-sized apple, he has to eat 40 a day.

A steak has about 260 calories, so he has to eat 18.

He finally understood how Jiang Sui developed that terrifying stomach.

After everyone was seated, He Guanghua gave an introduction to Duan Zhuo, not only the age, name, and provincial team of each athlete, but also the best performance and personal best of all of them, and which competitions they participated in , he remembered them all clearly and exactly.

Duan Zhuo was amazed.

He Guanghua held up three fingers, with a bit of pride in his eyes: "I have been leading the team for 30 years, and I will watch all swimming competitions, big and small, and never lose a single game."

Duan Zhuo was surprised: "How old did you start leading the team?"

"It started at the age of 28. I'm already 58 this year. Can't you tell?" He Guanghua smiled, "I also brought up my son back then."

Duan Zhuo asked curiously: "Is your son also on the swimming team?"

"He has been retired for many years. He works as a teacher in a sports school and also serves as a coach of the swimming team."

The coach of the sports school, whose surname is He, these pieces of information connected together reminded Duan Zhuo of a person.

"Is your son called He Xun?"

He Guanghua's eyes widened a little: "Do you know him?"

Seeing this reaction, Duan Zhuo knew he was right. No wonder he felt familiar when he saw He Guanghua for the first time.

"I met him a few times during games and he has a good relationship with our coach."

"You mean Wang Ye, right?"

"Ah."

"When they met, they were about the same age as you. Their relationship for more than ten years was really good. At that time, Xiao Xun was going to stay in Beijing to work, but when he saw Wang Ye going back, he went back with him."

Duan Zhuo Jiacai's movements stopped, he wondered if he might have misunderstood it, thinking too much, he always felt that He Xun's feelings for Wang Ye were not just on the level of a good brother.

The simplest example - when he is looking for a job in the future, he will definitely give priority to Jiang Sui's opinion. If possible, he will stay in the same city as Jiang Sui, and he will not take Cheng Ziyao into consideration.

But he couldn't tell whether the two really came together, whether it was a perfect ending or not, even He Xun himself could not be sure about this issue.

Most people in this world grope with their eyes closed when faced with choices. No one can guess what will happen tomorrow and whether their choices are good or bad. You can go on, and when you can't go on, you can choose again.Life is just a process of going around in circles.

After dinner, Jiang Han took Duan Zhuo to the swimming pool, the equipment area and the special physical therapy room.

The lighting in the physiotherapy room was dim, and it was equipped with high-tech equipment that Duan Zhuo had never seen before. Something that looked like a VR experience cabin in a shopping mall attracted his attention.

As soon as the cabin door was opened, mist filled the cabin, and there was a pool of dark blue water in the cabin, and people could lie in it directly.

"What is this for?"

"There are many functions," Jiang Han said while holding the cabin door. "Relieve fatigue, promote wound healing, treat arthritis and so on. After swimming every day, take a dip in the pool, and the whole person will feel much more relaxed."

Duan Zhuo raised his eyebrows: "So god?"

"That's right, many of them were created by students from Tsinghua Research Institute. It's interesting and the effect is not bad."

Duan Zhuo put his hand into the cabin and felt it for a while. When he pulled it out, the water on his hand quickly condensed into hard crystals. He didn't realize it was salt until he got out of the physical treatment room.

This is equivalent to soaking in the Dead Sea for a while, no wonder it has so many effects.

It would be great if their school also had these advanced equipment, so that Jiang Sui could recover faster if he was injured.

After the meeting, it was getting late. According to the rules of the team, everyone would gather at 10 o'clock in the morning and go to bed before 30:[-] in the evening, so as to ensure that they could participate in training energetically the next day.

Duan Zhuo hurriedly took a shower, and when it was half an hour before bedtime, he got into bed happily.

He understood Tang Yin's mood when he wrote the poem "Looking at the sky at dawn and looking at the clouds at dusk, thinking about you when you walk, and thinking about you when you sit".

Thinking of it, he sent the words "Look at the sky at dawn and look at the clouds at dusk" to Jiang Sui, and received a reply soon.

[International bar lifter: What do you mean? 】

Across the screen, Duan Zhuo could also make up Jiang Sui's northeastern accent and bewildered look, and burst into laughter.

The clear moonlight poked into the room, and tapped two fingers on the screen. Halfway through the input, Jiang Sui suddenly played a video.

Coincidentally, the letter Duan Zhuo typed happened to be on the answer button, and two smiling faces, one large and one small, appeared on the screen.

The background of Jiang Sui's video is a wall with wallpaper, which should be the bedroom at home.

"What do you mean by that sentence you just sent?"

"Look it up online." Duan Zhuo asked, "What are you doing?"

Jiang took a set of pajamas from the closet and hung them on his shoulders: "I just finished eating the finger cakes made by my mother, and I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."

"Such a coincidence."

"Huh?" Jiang Sui looked down at the camera and asked, "Are you taking a bath too?"

"I've finished washing," Duan Zhuo said with a smile, "I'll watch you wash."

Jiang Sui unzipped his coat and said, "There is a fee for this service."

"Okay," Duan Zhuo said without hesitation, "I will open a yearly membership, how much is it, I will transfer you a red envelope."

"Yo——" Jiang Sui said in a lewd long voice, "Why haven't I seen you so generous before? You have to charge me to send a package for me."

Recalling the first acquaintance, Duan Zhuo curled up his two long legs, swayed left and right, and laughed non-stop.

"Isn't that different from now? You said it yourself. You are mine now. If I want to see my baby, do I still need to apply?"

"Don't show it," Jiang Sui stuck out his tongue at him, "you're so hungry."

Duan Zhuo grinded his molars, if he was in front of him, he would have to throw Jiang Sui on the bed, but he was separated by thousands of miles, so he had to settle for the next best thing.

"It's okay if you don't look at it, then give me a kiss."

Jiang Sui pouted at the camera.

"No kiss, come again."

Jiang Sui kissed again, this time when he touched the camera, there was a crisp sound.

Duan Zhuo couldn't help teasing him: "I don't feel it, can you be more affectionate."

"What kind of affectionate method? Tongue kissing with the camera?"

Unable to kiss or touch, Duan Zhuo sighed sadly: "Long-distance relationship is really hard. I just passed one night, and I can't bear it anymore. I don't know how to endure the next day."

Jiang Sui smiled and said: "Don't worry, when the training schedule is brought up, the days will be much faster than you imagined, and if you are participating in the competition for the first time, the team leader will definitely send you out first to compete with foreign clubs. I’m afraid that you will be too tired to think of me when the time comes for the competition.”

Duan Zhuo was very sure that his concern for Jiang Sui would not decrease due to the passage of time, but he didn't know how to convince Jiang Sui that the only thing that could prove him was time, so he just said lightly: "No ,I promise."

In fact, missing is not only a matter of Duan Zhuo alone. After the video was hung up, Jiang Sui searched the Internet for long-distance relationships and collected many practical and cute methods.

Early the next morning, Duan Zhuo's Alipay received a kinship card presented by Jiang Sui, with a monthly limit of [-].

He brushed his teeth with one hand and poked the screen with the other to type.

[Free: What are you doing, take care of me? 】

[International-level barbarian: You can use this when you buy things in the future, so I can probably know where you are and what you are doing. 】

Duan Zhuo smiled and gave Jiang Sui a copy.Now that he has transferred to the national team, he can receive a fixed subsidy every month. Although it is only a few thousand yuan, his monthly expenses are very little. Apart from swimming equipment and some daily necessities, a few thousand yuan is enough.

He hopes to go out to compete more, and the accumulated prize money can be used for Duan Zhihong's surgery.

The kinship card is just the beginning. Duan Zhuo later used his brains on various apps. He let Jiang Sui download a learning software that focuses on online companionship. There are junior high school, high school, university and on-the-job departments in it. You can set the study time.

The software also has public dormitories and exclusive dormitories. You can rest together after opening a room, and you can also pass notes to each other.

Although the game is virtual, it is real to study and train together. After that, Jiang Sui gradually explored many ways to increase the value of intimacy.They change couple portraits, use couple wallpapers, take pictures of sunrise and sunset, clouds and starry sky, and save interesting stories all day just for half an hour when they hide under the covers at night.

Although they can't meet each other, they know each other better than anyone else.

When school was about to start, Jiang Sui planned to go to Beijing to surprise Duan Zhuo, but he forgot to switch back to his own card when booking a hotel, and Duan Zhuo immediately knew about his move.

Excitement was the first reaction, but after thinking about it, it seemed inappropriate.

The national team only has one day off a week, and it cannot be adjusted. That is to say, even if Jiang Sui comes, he can only have one day to accompany him. Beijing is so big, and one day is not enough to go shopping.

He was even more worried about letting Jiang travel around Beijing alone.

Although Jiang Sui was reluctant, he obediently returned the room.

After school started, a new classmate came to the dormitory of the school. He practiced figure skating. They were all winter sports. We all had a common language, especially in fractures. This classmate was also very experienced. He introduced Jiang Sui to Jiang Sui. Well-known Chinese medicine practitioners do acupuncture and massage, the price is nearly half of that of the top three hospitals, and the effect is very good.

But when the new classmate expressed that he wanted to sleep next to Jiang Sui, Jiang Sui ruthlessly refused.

This matter quickly spread to Duan Zhuo's ears.

"You seem to only look after the dogs in the nursing home."

"Hey," Jiang Sui gritted his teeth angrily, "Do you have a conscience, I will guard your bed, and you call me a dog?"

"Gouzi is a compliment, why do you think it is a loss?"

"What about you?" Jiang Sui lay on the bed, shaking his calf and asked, "Are you still used to the new environment?"

"Okay."

Duan Zhuo's voice was very weak, with a bit of reluctance, he rarely spoke like this, Jiang Sui immediately became alert: "What's wrong, isn't it going well?"

Duan Zhuo flew to Australia with the team in early September.When they go abroad for training, their status is like that of international students going abroad for exchange, and they share accommodation with athletes from foreign clubs.

He is not used to the food here, especially kangaroo meat and salmon. Every bite feels like he is suffering. The place he lives in is not as good as in China. Mosquitoes and insects are constantly there, and the curtains are not enough to block out the light. His sleep quality is very poor.

The club they were in was far away from the shopping mall, making shopping inconvenient.

These changes in life are nothing, what really makes him feel painful and tormented is the grades that cannot be improved.

Australia's ranking in swimming has always been one of the best, and in a pool with the world's top athletes, he felt the crushing of strength and the unevenness between people.

He is no longer the genius that Wang Ye and Jiang Sui said, nor is he the good seed that Coach He said. He and his teammates always take the bottom one and the second.

It doesn't matter if you lose on the field, even the usual amount of training can't keep up with those people.

There is a guy named Hunter who lives across the street, and they usually communicate a lot. Hunter's daily training volume is 20 kilometers as a base, and this 20 kilometers is Duan Zhuo's peak.

In order to compete with Hunter, Duan Zhuo swam a few more kilometers, but when he went ashore, he felt unwell, threw up in the bathroom, and didn't even have the strength to stand up.

When Jiang Sui called him, he had just returned to the house after taking a shower. His muscles hurt, his heart felt uncomfortable, and his whole body was listless.

After being heard by Jiang Sui to be abnormal, Duan Zhuo poured out the whole story.

"Is your heart uncomfortable?" Jiang Sui asked nervously, "Did you let the team doctor take a look?"

"I've seen it. The doctor said it was acidosis. I took two pills."

Jiang Sui had experienced the pain of acidosis, it was like food poisoning, and it made him feel sick. Hearing Duan Zhuo like this, he felt very distressed.

"Is it hard now?"

"It's okay," Duan Zhuo forced a smile at the camera, "I can accept no matter how hard the training is, but I feel a little uncomfortable not seeing you."

"Why do you feel uncomfortable?"

Duan Zhuo pursed his lips, his voice was very soft: "I just want to hug you all of a sudden."

Jiang Sui's heart softened into a puddle of water.

Knowing that Duan Zhuo's training in Australia lasted for three months, Jiang Sui calculated that when Duan Zhuo returned to Beijing, it was almost the time for the Winter Games.

I heard from the coach that a group of short track speed skaters will be sent to the national team at the end of the Winter Games. The top three in each event will be selected. If he can get a spot, he can go to Beijing to train with Duan Zhuo.

With the thought, he couldn't sit still, and immediately used the navigation to search the distance between the Winter Sports Management Center and the Swimming Sports Management Center.

It is only more than ten kilometers away. If you take a car, you can get there within half an hour.

That way, they can see each other every week for as long as they want.

But the premise of all this is that he wants to get this spot.

The window of the dormitory was not closed, and the evening breeze gently caressed his cheeks, wrapping them in a trace of warmth, just like Duan Zhuo blowing in his ears that night in the hotel.

Before bed, he sent a message to the doctor who often gave him infrared therapy.

[International-level bar lifter: I would like to ask, can your hospital provide sealing injections? 】

The author says:

It took a while to read the information in this chapter.The internal descriptions of the national team in this article are all derived from the interview videos of some athletes.

The learning software mentioned is called costudy, and the monthly salary of the athletes is different in each region, and it will be adjusted accordingly according to the qualifications of the athletes. The more honors, the higher the salary, I will not specify.Anyway, it is not high on the whole, and after the athletes retire, it is like resigning from the company, and they have no money to take.Athletes make money by winning awards in competitions or endorsements, so in the future, when you see athletes endorse or something, try to be as tolerant as possible, they are not easy.

Regarding the sealing needle, it’s okay if you don’t understand it. The next chapter will explain it in detail. It can be understood as a local anesthetic, which can relieve pain, but the effect is very short.
