A dolphin wants to tease me

Ye Lin did not refute, but still smiled with a good temper, as if it was Xia Zhi who was naive.

The preliminaries of the 100-meter freestyle are about to begin, and the two coaches are clamoring for the players to take their positions.

"Xia Zhi, 100 meters...don't let anyone swim between you and me." Ye Lin said.

Xia Zhi didn't understand why Ye Lin was so obsessed with this.

"Then what if I don't keep up with you and someone swims ahead of me?"

"Then my game is over."

Ye Lin's expression was still so flat.

Xia Zhi clicked his tongue, thinking that even if Ye Lin said such willful words, it would be hard for people to believe it was true.

But for some reason, Xia Zhi felt that he had to work hard, and even if he died, he had to work hard.

After the preliminaries, Xia Zhi ranked third, right behind Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi was [-] seconds faster than him.

Xia Zhi silently went back to the locker room. The freestyle final will not be until the other three swimming styles are finished.

He was sitting in a chair with a towel over his head and his eyes closed.

The whole space seemed to be flooded by a huge water flow, and the metal cabinets, chairs, various sundries and even himself floated in the water.

The light illuminated the entire water, and he swam vigorously.

What he recalled was not himself in the 100m preliminaries, but Ye Lin.

His strokes, holding water, breathing on one side, and the combination of hip and leg strength turned into clear scenes.

His breath lengthened, and his spirit gradually merged with this water area, wrapping Ye Lin in his mind.

When Xia Zhi was adjusting himself, Ye Lin walked in.

His footsteps were light, and he stood quietly not far away looking at Xia Zhi's figure.

He turned his face and saw Xia Zhi's nose sticking out of the towel.

Childish, people inexplicably want to bite down.

Someone came in one after another, calling "Brother Lin", Xia Zhi woke up from his meditation.

From one side of his face, he saw Ye Lin standing near the door, and he didn't know how long it had been.

"Let's go, our game is about to start." Ye Lin raised his hand towards him.

Xia Zhi got up immediately and followed Ye Lin out.

Compared with the 100-meter freestyle, the 50-meter freestyle is more about the distribution of physical strength in addition to explosive power.

Xia Zhi looked at Ye Lin's back, although they became familiar with each other during this time, Xia Zhi also saw Ye Lin's more lively side.

But just walking behind him like this, staring at his back in sportswear, his shoulders are very broad, and his back is so straight that nothing can bend him... Xia Zhi still feels distant inexplicably.

Don't relax, you must follow him closely.

Xia Zhi wondered for no reason, what kind of mood would Ye Lin look at his back when he surpassed him one day?

Xia Zhi, who has adapted to the atmosphere of the competition, still performed brilliantly in the 100m.

From the start to the completion of the first 50 meters, it was Lin Xiaotian from Q University who took the lead, while Xia Zhi was always holding onto Ye Lin and Jiang Yi in the first echelon.

Coach Zhou and Bai Jingwen stood together, when the first turn was over, Lin Xiaotian had already fallen down, Ye Lin, Jiang Yi and Xia Zhi almost went hand in hand.

Coach Zhou and Bai Jingwen didn't really care about the ranking in this competition, but their eyes fell on Xia Zhi together.

This little-known young man, at the first sight of him, didn't think he was any different from the other boys in the swimming team, but from the moment he entered the water, the tension from his shoulders to his arms stretched when he paddled. That indescribable feeling of unity and harmony, as if he was born a fish, a free and carefree flying fish.

When entering the countdown of 15 meters, Jiang Yi tried to speed up and overtake Xia Zhi, at the same time Ye Lin suddenly accelerated a second time!

Xia Zhi could no longer feel the existence of other things, he even forgot that he was in the water, all he knew was the chasm that could be crossed as long as he held his last breath—he wanted to fly over!

He is going to Ye Lin's domain!

What Jiang Yi didn't expect was that he was so full of strength that his chest was about to explode, but he still couldn't catch up with Xia Zhi.

And every time Xia Zhi stroked the water, he was widening the distance between him and Jiang Yi.

Xia Zhi was dragged by a huge force invisible, but Jiang Yi knew that this force did not belong to him.

The two coaches on the shore opened their eyes wide, watching Xia Zhi catch up with Ye Lin.

The gap is only half an arm's length away, and it's getting closer!Getting closer!

The last three meters, two meters, one meter!

Xia Zhi's hand pressed against the wall of the pool, at that moment his heart was about to rush out, his chest and throat were so tense that he couldn't breathe.

The same goes for Ye Lin in the next swimming lane, he was panting heavily, even though he couldn't lift his head up due to exhaustion, he still wanted to take a look at Xia Zhi next to him.

He turned sideways, going against the water step by step, and as soon as he reached the waterline, Xia Zhi came over and hugged him.

Ye Lin was stunned, he heard Xia Zhi's hard breathing, pulling his heart from warm to hot.

When the results came out, Ye Lin was still first, Xia Zhi was [-] seconds behind him, and Jiang Yi was third.

The Q University swimming team cheered again, and even several young people shouted excitedly: "Our Q University is the king of men's freestyle!"

The team members in Nancheng wanted to refute, but they couldn't open their mouths, and they turned into eggplant colors one by one.

Just when Ye Lin raised his arm to hug Xia Zhi tightly, Xia Zhi suddenly pushed him, Ye Lin's heart was empty, and his hands were still in the air.

Xia Zhi smashed his fist on the surface of the water with a displeased face: "It's a little bit worse!"

Even that unwilling look made Ye Lin inexplicably want to crush him and stuff him into his arms.

Xia Zhi lifted the waterline, passed by Ye Lin, and put down his words: "Wait! It's only [-] seconds! I might overtake you in half a year!"

Childish waywardness with a man's flamboyance.

Just as Xia Zhi was about to raise another waterline, Ye Lin suddenly hugged him from behind.Xia Zhi had expended a lot of physical strength, and suddenly fell into the water.

He was so angry that he wanted to use his elbow to give the opponent a hard blow, but he just tensed up and couldn't help it.

What if you really hurt your sternum or ribs?

Ye Lin's embrace was very tight, his chin was resting on Xia Zhi's shoulder, for some reason, Xia Zhi suddenly felt as strong as Ye Lin was actually relying on him.

Xia Zhi maintained his balance and stood up.

He wiped away the water from his face, and patted the back of Ye Lin's hand: "It's almost soaked! I want to go up!"

Ye Lin didn't let go, but whispered in Xia Zhi's ear: "You lost again."

"Okay! Once on shore, you can tickle me however you want!"

Ye Lin let go of his hand, Xia Zhi went ashore, and turned around to find Ye Lin still standing in the water, looking at him.

The two of them were almost exhausted, and their breathing was not completely smooth. Xia Zhi looked into Ye Lin's eyes, as if they were full of water.

All the swimmers in this competition went ashore, only Ye Lin was still there.

He was smiling, as if looking at Xia Zhi from his angle was a very comfortable and yearning thing.

But Xia Zhi felt that such a Ye Lin was very lonely.

Xia Zhi took a breath, squatted down and reached out to Ye Lin.

"Brother Lin, don't get scared in the water! Come up quickly—they have to go another 200 meters!"

As soon as Ye Lin was about to take his hand, Xia Zhi took it back, and said with the corners of his mouth, "You want to drag me into the water, I'm not that stupid!"

Ye Lin landed on the shore neatly, pressed Xia Zhi's head squatting aside, and pulled off his swimming cap.

The boy's soft hair was pulled up and then fell down again, like an unwilling little beast, it snatched his swimming cap back from Ye Lin's hand with staring eyes.

When Xia Zhi went to the Q University Swimming Team again, the young players looked at Xia Zhi differently than before.

If when I first met Xia Zhi, I was puzzled and jealous, but now I am admiring and have a sense of crisis.

Except for Lin Xiaotian, no one came forward to strike up a conversation with Xia Zhi, and Xia Zhi's face was really stinky when he was not smiling.

Ye Lin walked up to his side and said lightly: "I don't know about other places, but once you enter the swimming team of Q University, you will find that this may be the fairest place you have ever been to."

Everyone looked over.

"Because you will get a fair chance to compete, and none of the qualifications are obtained by virtue of status and relationship. So instead of envying others, it is better to make preparations, try your best to swim every second, and don't let Taibai Jinxing catch you Your fault."

Ye Lin's voice was neither too fast nor too loud, and it was not so loud, but every word had an extraordinary weight.

"Understood, Brother Lin!"

"We will work hard! We won't let people in Nancheng look down upon us!"

Ye Lin raised his head, and pressed the back of Xia Zhi's head again.

"You too! Freestyle relay, let's work hard too! Everyone trusts you, so the baton will be delivered to you. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Xia Zhi nodded, "What about you..."

How good is Ye Linyou?Is it the first one?

"I am not participating in this project."

Ye Lin smiled very gently, but Xia Zhi seemed to have poured cold water on her heart, her expectations were dashed.

"why?"

"Is 50 meters and 100 meters not enough? Always give Lin Xiaotian the opportunity."

"If I take your chance, I will immediately..."

Xia Zhi hadn't finished speaking when the other party pinched her cheek suddenly.

"Little thing, if you think this is an opportunity I've given you, then prove your ability to me." Ye Lin's gaze sank, he was serious.

Xia Zhi clenched his fists tightly, and when he raised his head, his expression was firm.

"Okay, I'll prove it to you."

Lin Xiaotian came over and licked his cheeks with his fingers, "Although I was a little disappointed when I knew Brother Lin would not participate in the relay! But now that it's Xia Zhi, I suddenly feel very looking forward to it!"

The other team members also looked over, with a kind of trust in their eyes.

"Yes, Xia Zhi is the finale, we won't be afraid of Jiang Yi anymore!"

"Well! The last journey, let Jiang Yi have a look!"

The atmosphere, which was not salty before, suddenly heated up, which made Xia Zhi feel embarrassed.

"I've never swum a relay before." Xia Zhi turned his face sideways.

"What? Have you ever swam a relay?" Lin Xiaotian was stunned. "Haven't you been in any swimming team before? Or is it because you are so strong in freestyle that your coach doesn't even arrange a relay for you?"

"No, if it is good, the coach will definitely arrange for the finale of the relay race!"

Xia Zhi didn't know how to explain this problem, Ye Lin on the side said: "For some reason, Xia Zhi has always practiced swimming by himself. But the specific reason, when Xia Zhi really joins us, we can slowly learn to swim. learn."

Everyone froze there, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After all, "I have been practicing swimming by myself" is beyond their comprehension.

How can you improve without a coach and teammates for comparison?

"Xia Zhi, after you join us, you don't have to practice swimming by yourself! Let's compete together!"

Xia Zhi paused, and when he looked up, he saw Lin Xiaotian's hearty smiling face.

The others also responded: "Hahaha! Brother Xiaotian, do you want to face! You are at the level of being abused by Xia Zhiwan!"

Lin Xiaotian was not shy either, and said carelessly: "The more you abuse, the faster it will be! I am an indomitable Xiaoqiang!"

"Yes, Xia Zhi, you are so good, Taibai Jinxing will definitely accept you! But no matter how good you are now, we are all your senior brothers!"

"On the day when Xia Zhi officially joins the team, let's ask Boss Luo for some money, and have a meal to welcome the newcomers!"

"Yes, yes, let's have another truth or dare, let's get to know our little brother well!"

The Q swimming team has always been full of talents, but there are only so many competitions in total, and if you want to compete, you have to go through the team selection.Xia Zhi's strong freestyle ability made other freestyle players have a sense of crisis.

But at the same time, they also have a sense of collective honor, and having a teammate like Xia Zhi is also a pride.

Lin Xiaotian moved his head closer, stared at Xia Zhi's ear and said, "Xia Zhi! Why are you shy?"

"Huh? I'm not shy."

Geng Le, another team member who swam the 800-meter freestyle today, teased Xia Zhi with Lin Xiaotian: "I'm not shy yet! My ears are all red! Ah! Now my neck is also red!"

"Wocha, this is as red as if he drank a catty of Erguotou! This kid just came, and his face is so cold that no one cares about him. He thought he was led in by Brother Lin, and he was so proud of his talent! I Now I understand! This kid is not cool, but boring!" Zhao Xiong, who also participated in the four-by-100-meter relay, yelled.

Zhao Xiong is from the Northeast. He is tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he speaks straightforwardly, so the team nicknamed him "Two Bears".

"No... I'm not bored..." Xia Zhi's voice was drowned out by a bunch of laughter.

"It doesn't matter if you haven't swum the relay!"

"Yes, we will teach you!"

"Yes, Er Xiong, come here, let's demonstrate the rules to Xia Zhi!"

"Yeah, it's actually not difficult. It's the same as swimming an ordinary 100 meters, but you have to pay attention to the time when you enter the water! You have to wait for the one in front of you... who is the one in front of you?" Geng Le tilted his head thinking think.

"It's me!" Lin Xiaotian patted Geng Le on the head.

"Oh, it's you! When we got into the water, everyone wore black swimming caps and black swimming trunks, and we couldn't tell who was who! If I had known that Xia Zhi was swimming for the first time in the relay, we would have to change Lin Xiaotian into a bright red one." Suits! You swim so slowly, what if Xia Zhi thinks you are the one in Nancheng next to you?"

As soon as Geng Le finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

Xia Zhi also laughed.

Zhao Xiong immediately patted Xia Zhi on the back, and Xia Zhi almost flew out in shock.

"Look at you boy, how bright the spring is when you smile! You have to play the black-faced arhat when you first meet!"

As a result, several people argued for a long time, but they still didn't tell Xia Zhi exactly when to go into the water. Although Xia Zhi knew it, he didn't interrupt everyone's lively chat.

With one side of his face, he saw Ye Lin beside him.

He was wearing sportswear, with a swimming cap in his hand, and a bath towel covering his head. He didn't know when it started, but the other end of his large bath towel was covering Xia Zhi's head.

Xia Zhi knew that he might be a little short of Ye Lin's extremely fast waters, but he was stepping into Ye Lin's life little by little.

Or... Ye Lin was always inviting him in.

There is no preliminaries for the four-by-100-meter freestyle relay, but each team sends eight people each, that is, two groups participate in the competition.

Xia Zhi's group followed Lin Xiaotian, Zhao Xiong and Luo Mian.

"Brother Geng, aren't you going to participate in the relay?" Xia Zhi asked Geng Le.

Geng Le's face darkened: "I'm going to swim 800 meters! If it's a two-day race, I'll definitely join you."

"Oh, so Brother Geng, you have good stamina... Is your explosive power better, or Lin Xiaotian's better?"

"When you join the team, you can see me slapping Lin Xiaotian during practice," Geng Le said.

"Hehe, you beat me up? You really want to go to heaven all the time - you just know how to blow!"

Xia Zhi smiled and listened to them continue talking, suddenly a little envious.

The Q swimming team seems to be a pretty good place.

Ye Lin stood beside Bai Jingwen, looking at the youthful smile on Xia Zhi's face.

"You brought Xia Zhi, not only to allow Xia Zhi to practice, but also to let him join the swimming team?" Bai Jingwen said.

"Isn't this great?" Ye Lin said leisurely.

"What's good? When I go back, how can I explain to Lin Xiaotian and Geng Le that Xia Zhicai is a senior in high school? Maybe he will enter Q University in the future?" Bai Jingwen said angrily.

"If Xia Zhi also likes the Q swimming team, he will work hard to come here." Ye Lin replied with a smile.

"I see, you really like this little guy." Bai Jingwen said in a low voice.

At the start of the relay race, Zhao Xiong, the first player, ranked second among the four groups, and then Luo Mian entered the water, and the newcomers from the next door Nancheng pushed Luo Mian to third place as if they were dying.

Xia Zhi stood beside him, frowning and clenching his fists, silently cheering for his teammates.

After Lin Xiaotian was in the water, he also tried his best to recover the gap. The shouts of the players of the two teams came from the shore, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly enthusiastic. The moment Lin Xiaotian finished the swim, Xia Zhi rushed into the water, and Jiang Yi in the next lane was almost at the same time as him. Into the water.

The 100 meters made Lin Xiaotian almost exhausted, Zhao Xiong and Luo Mian picked him up together.

When Xia Zhi had only swam ten meters, he heard the entire Q swimming team shouting, "Come on, Xia Zhi! Come on, Xia Zhi! Destroy Nancheng!"

For a long time, he didn't hear someone chanting his name so hard. Even the acceleration after turning around made him feel that his shoulders were sore and his legs were getting heavy, but there was another force in his heart that was rampaging.

"Xia Zhi - Chong Chong Chong -"

In the sound of cheering, he seemed to hear Ye Lin's voice.

It's not gentle and elegant, but a voice with a strong sense of strength and a sense of killing: "Xia Zhi—hold——"

There was nothing in his brain, breathing and all technical movements were replaced by instinct, and he didn't remember anything except rushing forward.

The moment his hand touched the wall of the pool, the moment Xia Zhi came out of the water, the light was dazzlingly bright.

He heard people from the Q swimming team shouting wildly, and Xia Zhi's heartbeat merged with the cheers. When he looked up, he saw Ye Lin squatting on the bank with one knee, looking at him with a smile.

It was an appreciative and even somewhat smug smile.

As if to say, look, the boys I brought are the best.

What first, medals, Xia Zhi was even more delighted that this person appeared at the finish line.

"Brother Lin..." Xia Zhi wiped away the water from his face, and looked up at him.

"What's the matter? No strength to get up?"

"You... you are... pretty."

Xia Zhi's voice was heavy with breathing adjustment, and there was a hint of hoarseness.

Ye Lin paused, but Lin Xiaotian and the others had already jumped into the water to fight with Xia Zhi.

Jiang Yi in the swimming lane next to him said to Ye Lin: "It seems that in the inter-school league next summer, your Q University will be locked in the short-course freestyle with double insurance."

"Assigned."

In the middle and long distance competitions that followed, Xia Zhi and Lin Xiaotian watched from the shore side by side.

At Geng Le's 800 meters, Xia Zhi also yelled with the others, blushing and thick neck.

This day, for Xia Zhi, ended very quickly.

Everyone huddled together, showered in the bathroom, and made some wild jokes.

What Lin Xiaotian loves the little yellow duck's boxer pants, what Zhao Xiong, a rough man, loves Dove cucumber-flavored shower gel, Xia Zhi didn't say anything, but he kept smiling when they chatted.

I don't know who started it, but suddenly someone called Xia Zhi's name: "Xia Zhi! Are you eavesdropping there secretly! You and brother Lin seem to know each other very well, come, let's gossip together!"

"Ah?" Xia Zhi paused.

"Yes! Let's gossip together! Let me ask you, has brother Lin ever lost his temper?"

"I haven't seen him lose his temper..."

In fact, he had never even seen Ye Lin's face without a smile.

"Has brother Lin ever played tricks on you?"

This voice belonged to Lin Xiaotian.

Xia Zhi thought about it, Lin Xiaotian would say that, he must have been tricked by Ye Lin, since he has the same disease and is a comrade in arms who fought side by side, it doesn't matter to say it.

"He once told me that he prepared a gift for me, and if I didn't take it on time, it would expire. I rode my bicycle all the way from school to pick up the gift. It turned out that the gift was just his high school notebook. Do you think it's a gift? Most of the other people's notebooks are to show off their beautiful handwriting?"

"Wow, blah, blah, blah! Brother Lin is so narcissistic!"
