A dolphin wants to tease me

Lin Xiaotian, Zhao Xiong and Geng Le got together again and started betting on the results of the group preliminaries.

"Come on, let's take a look, the results of the 200-meter preliminaries, who is the first, He Jinfeng or Shen Yao!"

"Shen Yao! A dog that can't bark is the best at biting people! Look at that cold Shen Yao, it's just..."

Xia Zhi had black lines on his face, wondering if these guys could do more damage?

"I said two bears, is your analogy appropriate? You are trying to hurt the friendship between the two teams!" Lin Xiaotian said.

"I'm betting on He Jinfeng. He can't be suppressed by Shen Yao all the time. He must hold his breath and want to win [-]% back!"

"I bet on myself!" Lin Xiaotian patted his chest and said in a firm voice.

Zhao Xiong, Geng Le and Luo Mian looked at him like a fool: "Who gave you such confidence?"

"No one blows on the ground, how can you fly in the sky?"

"One must have ambition! And 200 meters is more about the distribution of physical strength than 100 meters! I think I have an advantage!" Lin Xiaotian said solemnly.

Xia Zhi stood aside and just listened silently, wondering why the formation of these guys was so similar to Chen Shuo and Yao Min.

"Before you entered Q University, were you fighters among the scumbags?"

Xia Zhi just said something in a low voice, but was overheard by several other people unexpectedly.

Zhao Xiong pretended to be dissatisfied and pushed Xia Zhi: "How much do you look down on bro?"

"Exactly! What a fighter jet!" Geng Le's expression was also extremely dissatisfied.

"No matter what we do, we are still the aircraft carrier among the scumbags!"

Xia Zhi sighed, sure enough he was on the wrong path.At the beginning, even if I died, I wanted to participate in the competition to get the results and get into the city team and the provincial team.

Look at Zhao Xiong and Luo Mian, how simple their brains are, and how easy it is to be happy.

"Xia Zhi, what about you! Who will be the first bet in the 200-meter preliminaries?" Lin Xiaotian looked at Xia Zhi with a warning in his eyes.

If you don't choose brother, brother will bite you to death.

"Ye Lin." Xia Zhi replied.

Geng Le came over, and patted Xia Zhi's shoulder sadly: "Brother, you hit the south wall and don't look back. I told you, brother Lin is not the first in every preliminaries."

"Just wait and see." Xia Zhi stared intently at Ye Lin who was preparing.

When all the hair was stretched into the swimming cap, the curvature of the forehead and the depth of the eye sockets were obvious, Xia Zhi guessed that Ye Lin would still be handsome even if he shaved his head.

At this time, Ye Lin made a circle for Xia Zhi with his hand.

"Brother Lin, what are you doing? Comparing your heart with Xia Zhi?"

"Is this comparing hearts? It's obviously better than balls!"

There was no expression on Xia Zhi's face, his teeth were about to be crushed.

Ye Lin didn't mean to compare hearts, but to compare washbasins, and asked Xia Zhi if he had found a place to sell washbasins—reminding Xia Zhi that if he wins the 200-meter freestyle, Xia Zhi will have to kiss him.

"Teacher Ren, the 200-meter preliminaries are about to start. Ye Lin seems to be very relaxed."

Xiao Bin looked at Director Ren.

Director Ren smiled: "Ye Lin has a characteristic, that is, he doesn't perform particularly well in the preliminaries. I don't know if he is good at calculating or is good at estimating the opponent's strength. He can always enter the competition safely but unobtrusively." Next round."

"I also interviewed him and asked him if he wanted to preserve his strength until the final."

"How did Ye Lin answer you?" Director Ren looked at Xiao Bin with great interest.

"He said...it's almost fine." Xiao Bin sighed, and he still remembers the feeling that Ye Lin half-raised his head, lazily not caring about the outcome at all.

"He's a different kind." Director Ren narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Lin who was standing on the starting platform.

"What kind of alien?"

"All athletes swim to the end with a desperate attitude. But what Ye Lin pursues is not winning or losing. You pay attention to his expression every time he wins the championship. He is never ecstatic." Director Ren smiled.

"I don't know if there is a game in this world that can make Ye Lin feel that winning is not easy."

The competition is about to begin. Except for Ye Lin, the other contestants in this round of preliminaries are all rookies.

Shen Yao stood beside Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi frowned and said: "The strength of this group is not very good, I'm afraid there is no way to bring up Ye Lin's speed. If you are not careful, you won't even be able to make it into the top eight."

"With such a grouping, I want to see how he can preserve his strength."

Coach Zhou from Nancheng walked up to Coach Bai: "You didn't do this on purpose, did you? Let Ye Lin overwhelm the rookies of the teams?"

"I'm asking him to adjust his mentality on the field. Even if the opponent is not very good, he has to do his best."

Coach Bai said sternly.Only he knew in his heart that he was worried that after Ye Lin finished the 100-meter race, he would have exhausted his energy.

If 200 meters is too serious, it is too dangerous to faint in the water.

All members of the first group entered the water, and Ye Lin's speed in the first half was not at the same level as the other opponents.

"That's how you fight at the beginning?" He Jinfeng snorted.

"Brother Lin is serious..." Geng Le touched his chin.

"Because even if he is number one in this group, the opponents in the same group are not strong enough. He has no way to predict his own ranking, so he can only swim as fast as he can." Xia Zhi replied.

After the first one turned around, the other players were chasing Ye Lin.

Shen Yao snorted lightly: "They were all ruined by Ye Lin. Ye Lin's ability to keep such a speed in the first 100 meters does not mean that they also have such a level."

After the second turn, Ye Lin's speed did not decrease, but gradually increased.

Coach Bai pressed his watch, and Ye Lin's speed in the first 100 meters was faster than when he usually participated in the official competition, Coach Bai frowned.

Coach Mo and Coach Wang walked over calmly, and discussed with Coach Bai in a low voice.

"With Ye Lin's speed, we are worried that he won't be able to get up to speed in the final sprint."

"Actually, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to enter the final at all. At most, he is assigned to the next lane."

At this time, Ye Lin had entered the last 50 meters, and the people behind him had to stand on tiptoe and stretch his neck in order to see him clearly.

Xia Zhi clenched his fists tightly, his eyes fixed on Ye Lin.

Everyone wanted to see if Ye Lin's speed could be raised in the end.

As soon as he entered the last 20 meters, the water behind Ye Lin splashed up, cooperating with his strokes, full of strength, faster and faster, and the entire swimming pool was about to be kicked away by him.

Shen Yao and He Jinfeng were silent at the same time. They stared at Ye Lin in the water, seeing that Ye Lin had stopped breathing and was sprinting for the last time.

This is the time when Ye Lin is most prone to accidents.

Not only was Coach Bai so nervous that his face turned pale, even Xia Zhi subconsciously walked towards the swimming pool, and was dragged back by Geng Le.

"Xia Zhi, you are too close!"

If it accidentally falls or something, it will disturb other players' games.

Xia Zhi's heart tensed up, he had never been so nervous before.

Maybe many athletes have a blank mind when they sprint.

But Ye Lin is not, if he doesn't think about something, his brain seems to be unable to restrain his thoughts, drifting in all directions, oozing out from all the cracks, floating in any place he can't control , looking for attribution.

He thought about Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi said that when no one was swimming with him, he would imagine that Ye Lin was swimming in front of him.

Ye Lin missed Xia Zhi's feeling in the water very much, the water flowed up and down because of his arms, his legs stepped on the waves strongly, Ye Lin told himself that Xia Zhi was ahead, this boy had already surpassed him.

He is getting further and further away!

I will not be able to reach him!

There was a burst of exclamation on the shore, because Ye Lin seemed to have sunk into the water.

Coach Bai stood there dumbfounded, Luo Li pulled down the zipper of his coat, but Xia Zhi felt a force pulling him at that moment, looking forward to him, yearning for him, inviting him into his world.

It's Ye Lin!

I'm here, Ye Lin!

All of a sudden, the swimming lane where Ye Lin was in water splashed again, and Ye Lin quickly adjusted his balance, as if what happened just now was just a sudden stop of time, and the world split and quickly healed at that moment.

Ye Lin was the first to reach the finish line. He adjusted his breathing and raised his swimming goggles. There was no expression on his face.

He wiped the water off his face until the coach announced the results of this group. Not only was he far ahead, but he was only 200 seconds behind He Jinfeng's [-]-meter freestyle championship last year.

"Amazing! If it wasn't for the pause just now, maybe it would be faster than He Jinfeng!"

"Yeah, what happened when he stopped? Did he have a cramp?"

"How could it be a cramp! If you have a cramp, you can still reach the finish line at that speed?"

In order to catch up with Ye Lin's speed, the other contestants swam almost to death.

Their coaches nodded frequently when they saw their results. It was better than the usual practice, not at 01:30.

Ye Lin was still adjusting his breathing. As soon as he landed, Coach Bai came up to him, wanting to ask something, but Ye Lin entered the locker room with an expressionless face.

His hands were propped on the wardrobe, his head was lowered, his shoulders were restrained but still trembling.

Someone came behind him, and he knew who it was without looking back.

That was the man he had exhausted all his imagination to picture and chase in the pool.

Xia Zhi didn't say anything, just covered Ye Lin's head with a bath towel from behind, rubbing it lightly like he did every time he wiped his hair.

This is probably the most gentle time for this boy.

Ye Lin chuckled silently, Xia Zhi didn't know what he was imagining at the last moment.

He thought that he had finally rushed behind Xia Zhi, grabbed his ankle fiercely, dragged him to his own world, surrounded him, and forbade him to look at anything except himself.

He wanted to bite his throat, swallow him into his stomach, and possess him in the cruelest and most undeniable way.

The more I think about him, the crazier I feel.

"Everyone thinks... I want to get the best result in this group... but I just want to catch up with you."

Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment.

He suddenly realized that Ye Lin, who seemed calm and would be invincible as long as he was serious, actually had a wavering and fragile side in his heart.

Xia Zhi imagined Ye Lin as his goal for more than three years.

But one day, Ye Lin also imagined him.

"Why do you want to catch up with me? Except for that time-limited race, I never swam ahead of you once." Xia Zhi came to Ye Lin's side, leaned against the iron wardrobe, and looked sideways at Ye Lin. Lin.

"Because you're perfect."

Xia Zhi didn't show a surprised expression. He knew what Ye Lin meant. The so-called perfection means that when you try your best, you won't be distracted and won't faint. It means that there are infinite possibilities for continuous improvement, and the best era has yet to come.

"I'm not perfect. It's just because of me, when I'm with you, I'm more confident, less satisfied...and more willful. So, Ye Lin...you must swim at the fastest speed To the end, so that I can always be perfect in your heart."

Xia Zhi smiled sideways, with a youthful smile full of self-confidence.

"Ye Lin, before I leave the swimming pool, you must not leave early."

Every word was like an oath to advance and retreat together, like an iron anchor suddenly sinking into the tumbling seabed, piercing hard into Ye Lin's heart.

Ye Lin looked at Xia Zhi, his hand reached out to him, and touched Xia Zhi's eyes.

Xia Zhi closed his eyes and was about to avoid it, but Ye Lin pressed Xia Zhi's cheek hard.

"Hey you……"

At that moment, Xia Zhi met Ye Lin's eyes, peeled off the illusion of softness and tolerance, and revealed a paranoid gaze that would not let go even if it was crushed by the whole world.

Xia Zhi couldn't move, Ye Lin lowered his eyes, not so much approaching, as oppressing.

The air was squeezed out, and a ball of fire choked Xia Zhi's throat, burning badly.

Ye Lin's breath touched his lips indistinctly, it was so hot that it would burn his skin, and then he licked his blood little by little, hooking the thought in his heart that he had been holding on for a long time. think.

Xia Zhi swallowed hard, as long as Ye Lin got even a little closer, he would be impulsive and desperate.

"What are you dawdling about! The group preliminaries of Shen Yao's group are over!" Zhao Xiong's voice came.

Xia Zhi suddenly came back to his senses, the fresh air receded from all directions, he clearly saw Ye Lin's fangs that had been dormant for a long time, but at this moment, he smiled and squeezed the cartilage of Xia Zhi's ears .

"Xia Zhi, I'm not afraid of losing at all. Your vision will become higher and wider. What I'm really afraid of is being eliminated from your world."

"If you have the ability, continue to be my boundary. The size of my world depends on how fast you can swim."

When Ye Lin looked down at Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi also looked at him seriously.

Ye Lin has never regarded the contest in the swimming pool as a life and death struggle like this moment.

He enjoys the harmony with the water and the pleasure of controlling it.

But Xia Zhi let him know that what is in the swimming pool is not the outcome or a contest, but their territory.

"it is good."

"Hey! Brother Lin! Xia Zhi! What are you guys discussing secretly so we can't hear it!"

Zhao Xiong strode over curiously.

Xia Zhi pushed Ye Lin, but there was no expression on his face again.

"Of course we are discussing how to win the first place in the 200-meter freestyle!"

Ye Lin smiled and followed Xia Zhi.

When Ye Lin just walked to the pool, Xiao Bin, who was taking pictures of swimming in the water, subconsciously turned the camera lens to Ye Lin.

At this time, Ye Lin had a calm smile on his face.

The freshman who was brought into the Q swimming team by Ye Lin seemed to be Xia Zhi. He had just walked past Ye Lin when Ye Lin suddenly stretched out his arms to grab him over.

Xia Zhi frowned, trying to shake off Ye Lin's arm, but Ye Lin put his chin on Xia Zhi's shoulder directly.

This may be the most common behavior among teammates.

But deep down in Xiao Bin's heart, he became inexplicably jealous.

In his impression, Ye Lin always had a smile that made people feel comfortable, so just right, never being special to anyone.

But at this moment, Ye Lin looked at Xia Zhi sideways, with undisguised joy in his smile.

When Xiao Bin was in a daze, He Jinfeng came to his side and said, "Did you take a picture of me just now? Show me!"

Xiao Bin gasped and turned around. Why did He Jinfeng's preliminaries end?

Before he had time to stop him, He Jinfeng had already taken his camera, but no matter how much he flipped through, he couldn't find the picture of himself swimming. He Jinfeng narrowed his eyes: "What's the matter with you? Just now, in the preliminaries of my group, a photo of you Didn't take any shots?"

"I... I didn't set up the camera just now."

Seeing his stammering appearance, He Jinfeng pressed the camera back into his arms: "What are you doing? I won't beat you up."

Xiao Bin smiled, He Jinfeng patted him on the shoulder and walked away.

Not long after, the 200-meter preliminaries were over. According to the results, Shen Yao ranked first, Ye Lin second, and He Jinfeng third.

Shen Yao remained expressionless and stood in front of the coach to listen to the training.

He Jinfeng's face was dark enough, he never thought that he only ranked third in the preliminaries.

Next is the breaststroke and butterfly 200-meter events.

Xia Zhi raised his chin towards Chen Jiarun who was standing on the starting platform, Lin Xiaotian and the others made an appointment to roar together.

"Q Big Frog King Chen Jiarun—come on, come on—"

"Q Big Frog King Chen Jiarun——Scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"

After less than a second of silence, everyone suddenly burst into laughter.

Even Xia Zhi couldn't help coughing when he heard the phrase "Scholars can't be killed".

Sure enough, he saw Chen Jiarun on the starting platform showing a fierce expression, and guessed that after this round of competition, he would go to clean up Lin Xiaotian and the others.

"I heard that Shen Yao asked the coach to participate in the four-by-100-meter relay race."

As Ye Lin spoke, she deliberately pressed her chin against Xia Zhi's shoulder.

"Then you should apply for one too. Make a strong request to Taibai Jinxing to participate in the relay race."

Xia Zhi looked in Shen Yao's direction, but he didn't expect that the other party was also looking at him, and he didn't know how long it had been.

And Shen Yao didn't mean to look away at all, just stared at Xia Zhi so bluntly.

"If I also participate in the relay race, I have to change a teammate. I can't be hated to death."

Ye Lin smiled, and when he realized that Xia Zhi was looking at Shen Yao, he suddenly raised his hand to cover Xia Zhi's eyes.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Just when Xia Zhi opened Ye Lin's hand, Ye Lin's expression completely sank, and he looked directly at Shen Yao with cold eyes.

Shen Yao was stunned, he had never seen Ye Lin's expression like this - undisguised hostility, so obvious that he couldn't give a more obvious warning.

But Shen Yao still didn't look away, and still looked at Xia Zhi.

Ye Lin let go, turned around and left.

"Where are you going?"

"Look for Laobai."

"Didn't you just say you wouldn't take part in the relay?" Xia Zhi raised the corners of his mouth, looking forward to the relay even more in his heart.

Who knew that Ye Lin had just told Coach Bai about this, and Lao Bai immediately slapped Ye Lin's chest with the board.

"Bullshit!"

"Why is this nonsense again? I am so motivated to participate in the competition, shouldn't you reward me with big red flowers?"

"Big red flower! I think you want me to wear a small white flower for you, right? Burn three more sticks of incense? You think I didn't see that you almost passed away today...at least twice!"

Thinking of that scene, Bai Jingwen started to have irregular heart rate again.

"Doesn't this mean that my condition is getting better and better?"

"Good condition? Who gave you such confidence?"

"Xia Zhi." When Ye Lin said the name, the corners of his lips curled up.

"Do you think that if Xia Zhi goes into the water to scoop you up once, he can scoop you up a second time?"

"Old Bai... I finished 100 meters, and then I finished 200 meters. Whether I almost passed out or not, did I persist for longer and longer?"

"I think you are too anxious. You can get back to your state step by step. So what are you anxious about? You have completed 100 meters and 200 meters, isn't it enough?"

"Because I want to know where my limit is. Before I left the swimming pool, it sounds nice to say that it is to...adjust the problem of fugue at every turn. To put it bluntly, it is because I am afraid."

Ye Lin looked at Bai Jingwen with a smile, he knew exactly what he wanted to do and what he was after.

This is completely different from the young man Bai Jingwen saw in the ward that day, propping his chin and lazily looking out the window.

"I am afraid that so many eyes will see me in the most vulnerable, helpless, and most embarrassing appearance. I am also afraid of losing control, and the feeling of not knowing where the end is."

Bai Jingwen's tensed eyebrows finally relaxed.

"You... never told me these things before."

"Yes, I'm telling you this now just to gain a chance."

"Then why is it a four-by-100-meter relay? Not 400 meters, not 800 meters, or other individual events?" Bai Jingwen tapped Ye Lin's head with the board, "Don't think I don't know that you have never had any collective honor sympathy and cooperation.”

"Because I want to win the relay race with Xia Zhi. So I can't miss any chance to practice."

"Hehe, then how many times do you want to swim?" Bai Jingwen asked angrily.

"Of course it's the third best."

"why?"

"Didn't you arrange for Xia Zhi to be the finale? I want to swim with Xia Zhi as the finish line."

Ye Lin turned around and looked at Xia Zhi by the pool.

"I see, you can go now."

Coach Bai waved the back of his hand in disgust.

Ye Lin lowered her head and smiled, then walked back to Xia Zhi's side.
