A dolphin wants to tease me

Bai Jingwen continued to stare at him, Xia Zhi had no choice but to walk in front of Bai Jingwen: "Coach Bai, may I ask..."

"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Before he finished speaking, Ye Lin, who had already assumed a ready posture, stood up, turned around and said, "Xia Zhi, you are in the sixth lane."

"Ah..." Xia Zhi quickly stood up and got ready.

"I'm sorry, Coach Bai, I forgot to tell Xia Zhi, after all, he is not in our WeChat group." Ye Lin replied.

"Luo Li—print out a training form for him after the training camp!"

"Yes." Luo Li replied.

Xia Zhi thought to himself, it is impossible for Ye Lin not to remember to tell him about the arrangement of the test match, unless Ye Lin deliberately did not say so.

"Why, you can't concentrate like this?"

Ye Lin's voice was very cold, different from the usual gentleness.

It was only then that Xia Zhi realized that Ye Lin didn't say anything on purpose.The purpose is to train Xia Zhi's ability to adjust her mentality on the spot.

In regular competitions, unexpected situations are much more serious than being temporarily called to the starting platform.

Xia Zhi took a breath, quickly discarded distracting thoughts, and became focused.

"Beep—" sounded, and the team members jumped into the water together.

Xia Zhi poured into the water, and the eyes of several coaches narrowed. Captain Luo Li crossed his arms, walked along the bank of the pool, followed Xia Zhi closely, and had a panoramic view of his swimming style.

Xia Zhi's swimming style is beyond Luo Li's imagination. His strokes and kicks are full of power. More importantly, his swimming style has a harmonious rhythm, as if merging with the water.

In the 50 meters ahead, Xia Zhi and Ye Lin had already drawn a certain distance from the other team members before they entered the sprint state. Although the distance was not obvious, the gap would make it difficult for others to follow after turning around.

And Xia Zhi's posture of turning around is also quite smooth, perfectly connected, when his body stretches out, it is very pleasing to the eye.

In the last 25 meters, Xia Zhi and Ye Lin started to speed up at the same time, and the contest of explosive power and speed kicked off.

The water splashed, and the two people dragged everyone's attention, as if they were about to smash the wall in front of them, and the emotions of the team members on the shore were ignited.

Lin Xiaotian shouted: "Xia Zhi—Come on! Xia Zhi! Xia Zhi!"

"Xia Zhi - surpassed Ye Lin!" Zhao Xiong was also extremely excited.

Ever since they joined the swimming team, they haven't seen anyone beat Ye Lin. Xia Zhi's appearance made them feel that Ye Lin is not invincible.

Luo Li raised his eyebrows slightly, he knew very well that Ye Lin still had the possibility to speed up.

Sure enough, in the last seven or eight meters, Ye Lin's kicking seemed to break the swimming pool, and the team members standing by the pool were dumbfounded.

Xia Zhi in the water completely gave up taking a breath, and was as strong as Ye Lin in fetching water.

He thought of the ruffian in the water, and every time he competed with the ruffian in swimming, he was absolutely serious!

The rhythm of the two people's competition instantly increased. Luo Li thought that such an increase in speed would destroy Xia Zhi's original sense of coordination, but he found that in the last few meters, Xia Zhi showed strength and balance that Luo Li had never seen before. of.

And precisely because of Xia Zhi like this, Ye Lin rushed to the finish line as if he was being ignited to burn himself out.

The two touched the wall, and the boiling swimming pool suddenly became quiet.

Everyone is waiting for the coach to announce the results.

Ye Lin and Xia Zhi were still adjusting their breathing in the water.

Xia Zhi really likes this feeling. He goes all out, and the end seems to be no longer the end, because he knows that there is another wider world waiting for him.

The moment the results came out, the team members were extremely surprised.

Because Ye Lin surpassed his league record by [-] seconds.

You must know that this [-] seconds is a breakthrough that many people can't achieve through day and night training.

And Xia Zhi was only [-] seconds slower than Ye Lin.

Xia Zhi's face was cold, Ye Lin smiled and lay on the waterline, knowing that the boy was unwilling to lose.

"It's just a steak, I'll treat you to dinner." Ye Lin wanted to rub Xia Zhi's head.

Xia Zhi bypassed Ye Lin and went ashore.

As soon as they landed, they were surrounded by Zhao Xiong Luo Mian and the others.

"Damn it, Xia Zhi! You're just a hair away from Ye Lin!"

"Come on in the medley! Defeat Ye Lin!"

Ye Lin walked ashore slowly, stood behind Xia Zhi, and put one side of her swimming towel on Xia Zhi's body.

"Oh, are you unhappy when you lose?"

"I'm not unhappy. The medley will deflate you." Xia Zhi directly pulled Ye Lin's entire towel away.

Luo Li came to the coach's side and looked at the results recorded by the coach.

"It would be great if Xia Zhi could really join our swimming team. This kid, why didn't he take part in more competitions in high school?" Coach Mo couldn't hide the smile on his face as he looked at Xia Zhi's results.

"Yeah, swimming so well, it is possible to apply for a scholarship to enter the Q University. If you get in, you and Ye Lin are double insurance for short-course freestyle. You can also practice middle and long distances, and you will definitely get results. "

Luo Li could tell that, except for Coach Bai, Coach Mo and Coach Wang liked Xia Zhi very much, but they were also terribly worried.

"What is the coach worried about?"

"I didn't participate in any competitions in high school, and I don't have any reference scores to apply for special students. But if you take the college entrance examination, it's not so stable." Bai Jingwen frowned tightly and sighed.

"How's the grade?" Luo Li asked.

"I just heard Xiaotian and the others say that in his own school, he is in the thirties. If he can really perform stably, there is no problem in taking the 211 or 985 exam. But Q is big, even an unpopular major is a bit of a problem, right? "

Luo Li nodded: "Understood."

Knowing this, the three coaches all looked at Luo Li inquiringly.

Chen Jiarun who was standing behind listening to the corner, that Leer, he knew very well that Luo Li had a new "push" target.

Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi, you just wait to study hard and shed tears every day!

The individual tests of all the team members are over, those who will stay for extra training at night, Chen Jiarun is on the list, plus he is late again, one hour of extra training becomes two hours.

The computer was gone, and Chen Jiarun was sitting by the pool hugging his knees, listless.

Xia Zhi walked behind him, saw his drooping ears, and because he had taught him chemistry, he casually comforted him: "My condolences, brother Jiarun."

Hearing Xia Zhi's voice, Chen Jiarun's eyes suddenly lit up: "You are also mourning. Seeing you, and thinking that you will have a worse life than mine in the future, I feel at ease."

"Ah?" Xia Zhi didn't understand what Chen Jiarun meant.

Xia Zhi was not arranged for the freestyle relay race. The strange thing is that Ye Lin, who is the representative of the Q freestyle, did not participate in the competition. He just squinted his eyes and smiled, standing beside Xia Zhi and watching.

"Brother Lin, why don't you participate in the competition?"

"Because you are not arranged, I will not participate."

"Why?" Xia Zhi still didn't understand.

I am not currently a student of Q University, so it is only natural that the coach should leave more opportunities for practice to the players.But what about Ye Lin?

"You're not here, I can't concentrate." Ye Lin replied.

Xia Zhi gave the other party a supercilious look, what an irresponsible statement.

"Without me, would your sky have collapsed?"

"Yes. Without you, my sky would collapse."

"Can you speak well?"

"Aren't I good at talking?"

Xia Zhi decided not to continue this whole conversation with Ye Lin, but it didn't work out.

Finally came the medley relay that Xia Zhi was looking forward to.

Zhao Xiong, Geng Le and Luo Mian called Xia Zhi aside.

"Xia Zhi, brother Lin is the last player in Group A, and we will also arrange for you to be the finale!"

"Give Group A a little bit of power!"

"Let them know that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves are doomed to die on the beach!"

Xia Zhi knew in his heart that most of their group could not compete with Group A, but he was still inspired by Zhao Xiong's spirit, even if he was dying, he had to struggle beautifully!

The first stroke in Group A is the butterfly stroke.

Xia Zhi clenched his fists and stared at Luo Li.

He stood on the starting platform, with a strong sense of presence.

As soon as he entered the water, it was like a flying saucer in the water, the waves of the water rose up, and the movement of swinging his arms forward completely conquered Xia Zhi's eyeballs.

Hormone burst.

It is conceivable that it would be difficult for the other teams to make up for the distance that Luoli opened up in the butterfly stroke.

Immediately after Chen Jiarun went into the water, his breaststroke was very elegant and beautiful.In the past, Xia Zhi didn't like breaststroke very much. He always felt that it didn't have the speed of freestyle and the power of butterfly, and it couldn't compare with the pursuit of balance in backstroke. But after watching Chen Jiarun's breaststroke up close, he realized that this stroke also has a unique beauty. .

After watching it for a long time, Xia Zhi also noticed something sexy.

Chen Jiarun swam very seriously. The speed of this 100 meters was much better than the previous one-way test, but it still couldn't save the fate of extra training.

Xia Zhi turned his face away, only to realize that Ye Lin, who was in the same row behind him, was looking at him and smiling.

"Does Jiarun's breaststroke look good?"

"It looks good." Xia Zhi nodded honestly.

"Next time you can swim for me too."

"No." Xia Zhi replied with certainty.

I always feel that Ye Lin must have some bad intentions for asking him to swim breaststroke.

The backstroke is the slowest part, but the tense atmosphere hanging over the swimming pool has not dissipated at all.

Ye Lin got into the water one step ahead of Xia Zhi, and after Ye Lin swam at least five or six meters, Xia Zhi jumped into the water and rushed to catch up.

Standing on the shore, Chen Jiarun watched Xia Zhi frantically chasing Ye Lin with water, and shook his head in disbelief: "Why is this little brat's physical strength so good?"

"It means Xia Zhi is more diligent than you." Luo Li replied coldly.

Chen Jiarun remained silent.

In order to make up for the lagging time before, Xia Zhi swam forward with all his might, Ye Lin didn't have the slightest intention of waiting for him, and kept far ahead.

This feeling of chasing from a distance not only did not discourage Xia Zhi, on the contrary he showed a certain tenacity to hold on to it.

The other groups were left far behind, and they watched Xia Zhi chase Ye Lin relentlessly.

No one knew that Ye Lin's heart was surging at this time, no matter where he went, Xia Zhi tried his best to catch up with the feeling, which made him feel that the whole swimming pool had become infinitely wide.Ye Lin is afraid of being alone, when he swims too fast and other people can't enter his domain, he will feel bored.

When it's boring, the tense energy will loosen, and you can't swim fast anymore.

But Xia Zhi is different, he always rushes into his world with such vigor, reminding Ye Lin all the time - why not be faster!

"This kid has a really good mentality. He's so far behind and still working so hard." Coach Wang couldn't help but nodded.

"Yeah, I'm going to change other players. I know I'm bound to lose, and I can't do it for him." Coach Mo touched his chin and elbowed Bai Jingwen, "Old Bai, this kid has good skills." , good physical strength, and even a good mentality, we can’t let others.”

"Oh, it's really just resignation." Bai Jingwen looked at Xia Zhishui's figure and said "Resignation", but he remembered that Coach Zhou from Nancheng University said that he wanted to snatch Xia Zhi away.

Not to mention, with Xia Zhi's current grades, he is at least [-] to [-]% sure of being admitted to Nancheng University.Can take the Q major test, probably one or two.

Ye Lin, Ye Lin, what do you think we should do!

The medley relay was over. Group A won the first place without any suspense, and Xia Zhi and Zhao Xiong's group B was second.

Xia Zhi swam to the point of death, but he didn't catch up with Ye Lin.

Lin Xiaotian sat beside Xia Zhi and asked, "Xia Zhi, you said you practiced swimming alone, but how could you swim so fast by yourself?"

Xia Zhi patted Lin Xiaotian on the shoulder and said, "I'm alone, but I still have a dolphin! If you swim with a dolphin, you will develop an unyielding heart and speed."

Lin Xiaotian didn't understand after listening for a long time: "Dolphins?"

Ye Lin didn't speak, just laughed.

In the evening, Xia Zhi followed Ye Lin to the cafeteria to have a big meal.

Xia Zhi was holding the chicken leg in his left hand, and the egg fried rice in his right hand, eating with special concentration.

The cafeteria of University Q has been closed for the winter vacation from today, and only opened a window for the swimming team who are still in special training.

"Brother Lin, I..."

"Go get it again if you want to eat. You can eat as much as you want." Ye Lin raised his chin.

When Xia Zhi came back with the tomato beef brisket, she saw Luo Li sitting beside Ye Lin.

Xia Zhi became nervous for no reason, put down the dinner plate, and said hello: "Team Luo."

"Well. Let's eat."

Luo Li pushed forward, and it was a bowl of braised pork.

"These are specially purchased by the swimming team, and they are not pigs that have eaten the feed and have not messed with the ripening needles." Ye Lin added.

"Thank you Team Luo."

Xia Zhi took a bite, the taste was very good, but with Luo Li watching, he couldn't finish it.

"Which high school are you in?" Luo Li asked.

"T High School Attached."

"Well, don't stop, keep eating."

"Oh……"

Xia Zhi regretted ordering so many meals, because as soon as Luo Li appeared, Xia Zhi felt a little full in his stomach.

"I heard that your final exam results are probably in the top [-] in your grade?"

"Yeah." Xia Zhi thought to himself, how many exams did he take, what would Luo Li do?

"Do you want to join the swimming team of Q University?"

"Yes." Xia Zhi replied without hesitation.

"Then let me tell you, your goal for next semester should be the top five in your grade. Starting today, we will train you more."

"what?"

If the goal is in the top five, what does it have to do with extra training at night?

"Ye Lin is still in charge of mathematics and biology, which he is good at. I am in charge of your physics and Chinese, and Jiarun is in charge of your chemistry and English."

"Huh?" Xia Zhi still didn't wake up.

Ye Lin rubbed Xia Zhi's head with a smile: "This is the king's team. If you can't pass the Q University, you will be really sorry to the heavens and the earth."

"Ah? What king's team..."

So from this night, Xia Zhi realized what it means to be "besieged on all sides".

I only saw Ye Lin sitting on Xia Zhi's left on a table in the corner of the school library, opposite Luo Li staring at him intently, and next to Luo Li was the loveless Chen Jiarun.

"Can I go back to the dormitory to sleep? I just had two hours of extra training and I really can't take it anymore!"

"You can sleep here, and I'll wake you up when Xia Zhi finishes chemistry and English."

Xia Zhi finally understood what "cramming teaching" is. Under Luo Li's gaze, he couldn't do it even if he wanted to distract himself. His nerves were extremely nervous, and he had to strive for perfection in every question.

"Xia Zhi, why don't I take you to play games as an excuse to go to the bathroom?" Chen Jiarun whispered in Xia Zhi's ear while Luo Li was going to the bathroom.

Just as Xia Zhi was about to nod, Ye Lin leaned into his ear and whispered, "Do you want to die happily, or do you want to at least live despite the pain?"

Xia Zhi patted the simulation paper: "I choose to die happily!"

"Oh? Really?" Luo Li's cold voice came from behind Xia Zhi.

That spineless coward Chen Jiarun immediately returned Xia Zhi's chemistry problem: "I choose pain but at least live."

Xia Zhi: "..."

The training camp during the day has become the most beautiful thing for Xia Zhi.

This week was Xia Zhi's most fulfilling week.

I trained hard during the day, went back to the dormitory at 04:30 and went to bed immediately, finished my meal at [-] o'clock, and started to be stared at by the three masters to do the questions at [-] o'clock.

Before going to bed, Xia Zhi opened her circle of friends and saw the message Cen Qingxuan had sent him: Are you fighting the landlord or playing mahjong with the top students?

Xia Zhi replied: I want to die happily, but they insist that I live in pain.

Cen Qingxuan sent a few gloating smiles: You also have today.

At the end of the week, the whole swimming team had dinner in the cafeteria and had a hot pot meal.

The coach does not allow the players to drink beer, and the drinks are iced Wanglaoji.

Zhao Xiong touched Xia Zhi reluctantly: "Xia Zhi, you must study hard, I don't want you not to be my teammate in the inter-school league."

"Yes. This September, you must become our alumni and teammates. The brothers are waiting for you!"

"Q Big Swimming Team is waiting for you!"

All of them were boys in their teens and early 20s. They all stood up and looked at Xia Zhi with Wang Laoji in their hands.

This is the first time that Xia Zhi found himself being looked forward to by so many people.

When she was a child, Xia Zhi felt that a place like Q University was like a dream like "I want to be a scientist", which could only be dreamed about in her dreams.But now, he doesn't want to just dream about it, he longs to come here.

Xia Zhi's eye sockets became hot, and the cold expression on his face was somewhat similar to Luo Li's, but everyone suddenly had a tacit understanding.

"Oh, Xia Zhi is moved! Since you are moved, you must work hard!"

"In September, brothers and sisters will pick you up at the station together!"

Looking at the generous smiling faces, Xia Zhi felt really warm in his heart.

Fortunately, they booked a high-speed rail ticket back to T city, otherwise, they might not even have a place to stand back at the peak of returning home during the Chinese New Year.

The carriage was bustling with people, much more lively than usual. The voices of old people chatting and the voices of children crying all merged together. This is life.

When the car started, Xia Zhi looked at Ye Lin's side face and whispered, "Thank you."

"Thank me for what?" Ye Lin asked.

"Gives me the life I want."

Ye Lin raised his hand, but put it down again.His eyes were deep, he hesitated to speak.

Xia Zhi saw some kind of passionate emotion in his eyes, which he wanted to express but was suppressed.

"Thank you too."

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for making me less afraid."

Stop being afraid of being different from everyone else.

Although it was only an hour's drive, Xia Zhi and Ye Lin still fell asleep head to head.

The atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger. When Xia Zhi and Ye Lin got into the taxi, they could hear singing "What a winter jasmine, everyone loves him" and "Gong Xi Fa Cai" all over the street. .

The word "Fu" can be seen everywhere, which is extremely festive.

After getting out of the car, Xia Zhi knocked on the window.

"what happened?"

"Remember to come to me during the Chinese New Year." Xia Zhi said seriously.

"Okay." Ye Lin nodded.

When the car drove away, Ye Lin turned to look at Xia Zhi, only to realize that Xia Zhi didn't go in, but stood where he was and watched him all the time.

"Little thing..." Ye Lin didn't turn around until Xia Zhi could no longer be seen.

After putting down her luggage, Xia Zhi was about to go out with her bag on her back.

"Where are you going?" Chen Fanghua chased out and asked, "Are you going to find Xiaocen?"

"No, I'm going to find a friend to play for a while, otherwise my friend should break up with me."

Xia Zhi said with a smile.

"Then I packed your suitcase?"

"Well, you pack it up."

Anyway, the swimsuit and swimming cap were carried away by him, and my mother couldn't find out.

Chen Fanghua opened Xia Zhi's suitcase, put the clothes in the laundry basket, and saw a large stack of papers.

She took it out and flipped through it casually, and found that during the time Xia Zhi went out with Ye Lin, she had almost finished the simulation papers for the winter vacation, and the draft paper she brought back was full of formulas and calculations.

Looking at these, Chen Fanghua suddenly felt a change in his son.

No matter what the result of the college entrance examination is, Xia Zhi is living her life with a very positive attitude.

Xia Zhi came to the Dolphinarium, and everyone on duty there knew Xia Zhi. Although Dr. Chu and Xia Zhi had a holiday during the Chinese New Year, when he heard that Xia Zhi was coming, Brother Ming greeted him with an expression of finally being saved.

"Xia Zhi! You're here! At first I used your audio to coax the ruffian to eat, but you haven't shown up these days, and the ruffian got angry. I probably felt that I was being tricked. I haven't seen you for a few days. Eat something."

Hearing Brother Ming's words, Xia Zhi also became worried, and hurriedly changed into his swimsuit before warming up, so he went to see the ruffian.

Ruffian sank in the middle of the pool, and when Xia Zhi stepped into the water, ruffian swam to the other side of the pool and pointed his tail at Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhixin couldn't think about it, it was terrible, the ruffian lost his temper, it's not easy to coax!

"Ruffian—" Xia Zhi called out and swam over.
