A dolphin wants to tease me

Ren Fei was already familiar with Ye Lin's preferences, so he directly ordered Americano coffee without any milk.

"Where is Xia Zhi, what would you like to drink?" Ren Fei asked patiently.

"Same as Ye Lin."

Xia Zhi didn't do much research on coffee, at most he drank Nescafe instant coffee, which was given to him by Cen Qing.

But when Ye Lin came to tutor himself, he would often bring freshly ground coffee to refresh himself.

To be honest, the coffee smell on Ye Lin's body is very good.

The mellow and full-bodied flavor made Xia Zhi always have a sense of dependence in this man's arms.

"Ye Lin drinks Americano, it's very bitter." Ren Fei wondered if he should introduce Xia Zhi to drink latte like himself.

"It's better to give him an American drink. I'm too tired from training recently, but don't let him yawn and fall asleep while chatting."

Ye Lin smiled meaningfully at Xia Zhi.

He still remembered that day when he wanted to make a meat bun for him, the little guy fell asleep with his head tilted, so that he had no chance to show himself.

"Okay, okay, I won't waste the leisure time of the two of you, and get straight to the point?" Ren Fei took out the recording pen while talking, and then looked at the two young people opposite, "The interview is going to be recorded. , are you two okay?"

"No." Ye Lin replied.

"Oh, I didn't either." Xia Zhi nodded, and pulled his collar uncomfortably.

This little gesture, coupled with Xia Zhi's cool expression, is like a student being asked by the dean to talk about why they fell in love early.

"The two of you are very familiar with each other, right? I watched the performance of the two of you in the practice match. You have a tacit understanding, and you trust and look forward to each other's performance."

"Teacher Ren can see it." Ye Lin smiled politely, and reached out to rub Xia Zhi's head in front of Ren Fei.

Xia Zhi glared at him fiercely, and pushed his hand away.

"Ye Lin, even though he has a good relationship with Xia Zhi, he can't keep touching his head." Ren Fei half-jokingly said.

Xia Zhi nodded frantically in his heart.

Ye Lin smiled and asked, "Why is that? Seeing his hairy head, you would want to rub it."

"Boys' heads and girls' waists are hard to touch." Ren Fei blinked.

"Oh, so that's the case!" Ye Lin nodded, and immediately reached out to grab the back of Xia Zhi's head, "Come on, bro, touch your waist."

"roll!"

Xia Zhi wanted to endure it, but her ears still turned red.

Every time he asked Ye Lin to make a meat bun, he especially liked to bully Xia Zhi's waist.

This bastard thing, can the bully see the scene?

Ren Fei didn't think there was anything strange about them, but felt that the relationship between the two was really good.

"Let's get down to business—Ye Lin, you passed out in the inter-school league a year ago, which made many people who followed you very worried. People who didn't know spread a lot of gossip, why do you have a heart attack, you have pneumonia? , you have immune disorders, what else do you have a tumor in your brain and so on. "

Ye Lin laughed softly, and then turned to look at Xia Zhi: "Hahaha, Xia Zhi also thought I had a heart attack before, so she was very worried about me."

"So what's going on?" Ren Fei's expression became serious, "I mean, no matter what the reason is, have you recovered?"

This is related to Ye Lin's performance in this year's inter-school league, and it is also a problem he must face.

"Xia Zhi, do you think I've recovered?" Ye Lin still looked at Xia Zhi.

Ren Fei was a little surprised, Ye Lin seemed gentle and caring about other people's thoughts, but he actually had his own principles, and his questions never needed others to answer.

"He's not sick. It's just that it's not easy to persist when there is no goal. But once he knows what he wants, even if he wants to swim from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, he will be fine."

Xia Zhi said.

Although the words were exaggerated, but seeing Xia Zhi's expression, Ren Fei knew that he trusted Ye Lin more than anyone else.

"It sounds like Ye Lin, your return is all for Xia Zhi."

Ren Fei lowered his head and took a sip of coffee.

"That's right, I came back for Xia Zhi."

Ren Fei was slightly taken aback, and the coffee cup shook.

"You said...you did it for Xia Zhi?"

"Mr. Ren, in fact, your interview is to confirm that my condition has recovered, even better than before. I will keep moving forward and will not give up easily, right?" Ye Lin looked into Ren Fei's eyes and said.

"Yes, it is."

There is no need for any fancy decorations, this is what Ren Fei wants to know.

And when he saw the relay race between Ye Lin and Xia Zhi, he knew that if he wanted to visit the real Ye Lin, he had to have Xia Zhi by his side.

This young man who has always been used to hiding his true self in his heart will confide his heart to Xia Zhi, and will want his trust and approval.

"Teacher Ren, in fact, I said the same thing to Coach Bai. I have always been lonely. Swimming is different from basketball, football, and volleyball. Once the game starts, I have no comrades in arms."

Ren Fei listened to Ye Lin's words very seriously. Ye Lin leaned back on the sofa chair, not at all decisive and agile as in the swimming pool. He seemed to be very comfortable and enjoying the tranquility at this moment, and looked at Ren Fei lazily and casually. , but every word he said was sincere.

Because of these words, he didn't say them to Ren Fei, but to Xia Zhi.

Ren Fei knew that they were all boys, and lying on the bed in the dormitory, they might be talking about grades, coaches, or opponents of other strong teams, rather than the delicate and unknown things in their hearts.

If Ye Lin wants to speak, Ren Fei is willing to let him speak.

"Swimming is different from one-on-one confrontational sports like fencing or tennis. It's in the water, it belongs to another world. My opponents are in front of me, behind me, left, right, but I can't see their expressions. So Swimming is really lonely."

Xia Zhi's heart trembled slightly, Ye Lin has always been confident and strong, Xia Zhi knew that he was lonely, the stronger he was, the faster he swam, the further away he would be from other people, so he was always alone.

Xia Zhi also used to swim in an empty swimming pool, imagining the existence of Ye Lin.

Xia Zhi understands this kind of loneliness very well.

The only difference between him and Ye Lin is that Ye Lin is in the noisy world, but no one can swim into his domain.

And myself, thinking about Ye Lin in another world.

"Because of this, I always think that I have done my best, but in fact... In fact, I am still far from going all out. I didn't know it before. Even giving up is very refreshing."

"You mean that time when you passed out in the swimming pool... because you gave up?" Ren Fei looked at Ye Lin, "Are you sure? If I really wrote that, I'm afraid that someone will come to you with a kitchen knife."

"It's not giving up, but tiredness. Because there is no reason to go all out, and the determination to swim faster than others without dying, so he is tired."

Xia Zhi, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

Ye Lin looked at him, then smiled.

That kind of smile comes from the heart, a smile that is understood and understood by others.

The long drought meets the nectar, he was thirsty, thirsty for too long, and finally drank the water.

"Then I met you. You made me feel... swimming is something special, the water flows through you, wraps you, and from the water I can feel your presence, your strength, you chasing after me Behind you, you make me feel weak, about to be swallowed by a powerful pursuer. Then..."

"Then what?"

"Then I became addicted, and I especially like the tension when competing with you. It seems that I have a reason to work hard."

"I actually made you feel weak?" Xia Zhi showed an incredible expression.

"En." Ye Lin responded lightly.

"You are in my heart—the Dragon King Whale in the sea! Didn't you say that I am just a baby shark? It is a good breed and full of attack power, but it is a pity that it is just a baby shark. Once you open your mouth, I will be gone."

Xia Zhi spread out his hands, and even Ren Fei who was opposite him laughed.

Ye Lin couldn't help rubbing Xia Zhi's head again, gently twirling his hair with his fingertips.

Xia Zhi avoids unwillingly.

"When I saw you swimming for the first time, I was still in elementary school. I dreamed of competing with you! But unfortunately, the only chance I had was in the 14-year-old group. Unfortunately, I was eliminated before the final."

"Why? It's impossible for you to be eliminated at your level." Ye Lin was also very surprised. Logically, he and Xia Zhicai were two years apart, so they should have had the chance to meet each other in middle school competitions.

"He Jinfeng and I went to eat fried belly, which seems unhygienic. He Jinfeng is probably used to eating dirty things, and there is no problem at all. I have acute gastroenteritis, dehydrated, and had three days of injections."

Ye Lin closed his eyes and rubbed the corners of his eyes: "Then you still dare to go eat fried skewers with him?"

"Life is endless, and fighting is endless. And I am not the same as I was in the past. How can it be so easy to defeat me with belly bombs?"

Ye Lin shook his hand: "Don't tell me these things. From now on, the belly fried skewers will stop here."

"I knew I wouldn't tell you."

Xia Zhi was too lazy to look at Ye Lin, and said to Ren Fei, "Teacher Ren, why don't you ask questions?"

Ren Fei was stunned. Seeing Ye Lin's completely cooled expression, he knew that the exploding belly and diarrhea incident really hit Ye Lin's back scales, although he didn't know exactly what happened.

"If you didn't have diarrhea that time, I might have known you a long time ago." Ye Lin didn't give Xia Zhi a chance to change the topic.

"But I can know you in my third year of high school, I think it's just right!"

"Just right?" Ye Lin looked at Xia Zhi with deep regret and unwillingness.

Xia Zhi rarely saw such obvious emotions in Ye Lin's eyes, let alone Ren Fei was still opposite them.

"Yeah, you helped me so much in the most important year of senior year..."

Only then did Xia Zhi realize that Ye Lin's eyes were red.

"If I knew of your existence that year, I would definitely watch you. I would be there when Uncle Xia left you. I would also be there when Aunt Chen wouldn't let you swim. Every time you take the monthly exam, I will also be there for the final exam. Because I know you exist, I might not..."

Ye Lin didn't continue talking.

After that match, Xia Yun passed away.Xia Zhi never participated in any competitions again.In retrospect, that competition was indeed the only chance for Ye Lin to meet Xia Zhi before high school.

Xia Zhi suddenly felt regretful.

This regret is getting heavier and heavier.

"There are no ifs in life." Ren Fei on the opposite side finally said, "It's because I know I missed it, so I can't waste what I have now."

Xia Zhi subconsciously clasped Ye Lin's hand next to him, tightly.

Ye Lin's arm was still a little stiff, but suddenly he squeezed Xia Zhi's fingers very hard, causing Xia Zhi's fingers to hurt as if they were about to be broken.

But this kind of pain made Xia Zhi feel at ease, and the more it hurt, the more Xia Zhi knew that Ye Lin cared about him.

It turned out that I wasn't the only one who watched Ye Lin silently for so many years, Ye Lin was also so eager to know his existence.

"This is probably why Xia Zhi is so persistent in participating in the relay race with me." Ye Lin took a deep breath and smiled in relief.

"What's the reason?" Ren Fei asked, he looked at Xia Zhi, wanting to hear Xia Zhi's answer.

"Of course I won't miss it anymore. Your end point is my starting point, and your speed determines my success or failure."

Xia Zhi, who had been expressionless all the time, showed a rare smile in front of Ren Fei, like the scorching sun at noon, confident and bright, as if it wanted to shine into all the tiny and unknowable gaps.

I have seen many athletes who are eager to become famous, and I have also seen those who get carried away because of their achievements, and even those "geniuses" who were once talented but disappeared from everyone. Seeing Ye Lin and Xia Zhi again, I just feel warm and happy. strength.

This is the athlete that Ren Fei wants to write about. There is no need for any rendering. Just write down what they are like.

He doesn't need to make himself a screenwriter or novelist, he just needs to record the real Ye Lin and Xia Zhi.

Ren Fei likes Xia Zhi like this very much, he suddenly understands why Ye Lin trusts Xia Zhi and is willing to be the one ahead of him in the relay race.

"What about the inter-school league? Ye Lin is definitely going to participate in the 100-meter and 200-meter freestyle. This is your strong point. Is there anything else?"

"I hope that Xia Zhi and I can take first and second places in the 100-meter and 200-meter freestyle in the inter-school league, as well as four times 100-meter freestyle and 200-meter [-]-meter swimming. In addition, I am also very interested in the individual medley .”

"Hey, wasn't Luo Li the champion of last year's 100m individual medley?" Xia Zhi asked.

"Then do you think I'm stronger or Luo Li is stronger?" Ye Lin narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.

Ren Fei also smiled: "Xia Zhi, you have to think carefully before answering. This is like who to save first if your girlfriend and mother fall into the water - send a proposition."

"Me." Xia Zhi raised his chin and looked at Ye Lin with a stubborn face.

Ren Fei didn't realize the meaning of Xia Zhi's words, but Ye Lin smiled.

"You still want to win the 100-meter medley championship? I think you should practice 400 meters!"

"How about taking a gamble! What will you and Luo Li say if I win?"

"You can't beat me and Luo Li at the same time." Ye Lin took a sip of coffee slowly.

"Why not?"

"Because a team can only send at most two swimmers to participate in the same event. That is to say, if Luo Li and Ye Lin both go to swim the 100-meter medley, Xia Zhi, you will not be able to participate." Ren Fei reminded kindly.

"Then I will participate in the 200-meter medley!"

Probably because he often watched Luo Li's butterfly strokes, they were so beautiful and refreshing, Xia Zhi had already thought about practicing butterfly strokes.

"Really, in the team qualifying match, you have to be at least second. I don't think so."

"Why is it hanging?"

"Did you forget about Jiarun? Jiarun's butterfly stroke was trained with Luo Li, and breaststroke is one of the best in the inter-school league. You have also compared his freestyle with him. Jiarun belongs to all four strokes and can do it A well-balanced player who has reached the first-class level. Not to mention the 100 meters, Luo Li is not sure that he can beat Jiarun in the 200 meters individual medley."

"So...you can't tell..."

Every time Chen Jiarun was afraid of Luo Li, he was so afraid that he would shake the chaff, and there was actually a project that surpassed Boss Luo in strength.

Seeing Xia Zhi's deep thought, Ye Lin and Ren Fei both looked at each other and smiled.

They chatted about Xia Zhi's childhood anecdotes, and Xia Yun's influence on Xia Zhi, and Ye Lin listened quietly from the beginning to the end.Because usually there is no special reason to ask about Xia Zhi's childhood, now Ren Fei asked, Xia Zhi talked about his childhood in a non-exaggerated tone, Ye Lin listened very seriously.

"Then you are most grateful to your father for teaching you in swimming. He is more meticulous and dedicated than any professional coach. I have noticed your posture and turning in the water, not only the standard, but the strength and body The balance. Your sense of water is unusually strong."

Xia Zhi raised his head halfway, as if he was thinking about how to express it.

Ren Fei also waited patiently. He knew that Xia Zhi was not the kind of person who was good at telling stories, but he did not lie.

"Actually... what I am most grateful to him for is that he took me to see Ye Lin's match that day. He let me see my strongest opponent. From then on, I know in the water... what kind of person I want to be. "

The sunlight had already slanted to the west, falling on Ye Lin's side face, rendering a gentle halo that made people feel good.

There is no arrow on the starting platform, nor the sharpness and ruthlessness when sprinting, as if this is what Ye Lin wants to be the most, warm and tolerant, but eager to be understood and embraced by others.

Ren Fei suddenly felt lucky that Ye Lin and Xia Zhi met each other at the golden age.

After the interview, Ren Fei watched Ye Lin walk to school with Xia Zhi's shoulders on his shoulders. Xia Zhi threw Ye Lin's arm down over and over again. He pulled it back, put his shoulders on his shoulders and continued walking.

Xia Zhi thought about it, and couldn't help but ask Ye Lin: "You seem to like drinking coffee very much. I remember that when you gave me extra lessons on Saturdays, you would often bring coffee."

"That's because I work the night shift at the bar on Saturday night. After sleeping all morning, I have to come to make up lessons for you. I have to drink coffee to refresh myself."

"Then why didn't you say it earlier! If you are tired, you can sleep on my bed and wake you up after I finish the questions!"

"If you fall asleep, you won't be able to see how you are doing the problem."

"You can't get tired of watching it!"

Having said that, Xia Zhi remembered that Ye Lin seemed to be unable to even move every time he looked at him, so he was very patient.

If he had to watch others do their homework, he would have dozed off or played with his mobile phone long ago.

"Did you drink all the coffee today?"

"When Mr. Ren was chatting with you, I had nothing to do, so I could only drink coffee. But Americano coffee is really like Chinese medicine... I don't know why you like it so much."

"Refresh yourself. I've been very tired from training recently, and you always go to bed as soon as you get back. Drinking some coffee will make you less prone to sleepiness."

"Go back and don't sleep, what else do you want to do..."

Looking at Ye Lin's evil smiling face, Xia Zhi suddenly realized something.

"I want to make meat buns for you, would you like to treat me to chocolate?" Ye Lin leaned into Xia Zhi's ear and whispered.

Xia Zhi's heart sank, and his whole body became hot.

"I want to eat meat buns."

Speaking of which, Xia Zhi's throat became hoarse.

"When we go back to the dormitory, Jiarun will be mourning his computer at the desk." Ye Lin looked sideways at Xia Zhi.

"Then where are you going?"

"Well...in the car."

"what?"

Ye Lin gave Xia Zhi a hand, but what Xia Zhi didn't expect was that Ye Lin took him to a 4S store to buy a car.

"Where did you get the money!"

"The prize money from the competition, as well as scholarships and part-time jobs. Don't worry, after buying the car, it won't affect you to invite those who are interested in me to dinner."

"We usually train! It's faster to go home by high-speed rail, and there is also a bus to go to the competition... I feel that it is not practical to buy a car."

Although Xia Zhi said so, there is no boy who doesn't love cars, his eyes are already locked on those new models and he can't move away.

"Because there is Jiarun in the dormitory, and you can't let it go in the bathroom. Your mother is a doctor and loves to clean, so you don't like the bed sheets in hotels. Last time you slept on a water bed and came back, you have rashes, right? . How nice it is in the car."

Ye Lin spoke in a serious manner, seeing the clerk approaching, Xia Zhi didn't know if the other party understood what they said, and wanted to beat Ye Lin up.

"Sir, what model do you want to see? I can introduce it to you."

"Well, for an SUV, the rear should be spacious, and the seats should be comfortable and soft. Other performances don't matter."

The more Ye Lin said, the more Xia Zhi wanted to shake his fist.

God mud girl's car is good.

Xia Zhi wanted to pretend that he didn't know Ye Lin, so he turned his head and was about to walk out the door, but who knew that Ye Lin stretched out his arm, grabbed him back, and said to the clerk with a smile, "Do you have any recommendations? "

"Yes, sir, please follow me."

Xia Zhi twisted there and refused to move, but Ye Lin leaned into his ear and said, "Otherwise, I'll carry you there?"

There was a beating in his heart, Xia Zhi knew that Ye Lin could do anything immoral, so he could only follow him to look at the car.

The cheapest one costs [-] to [-] yuan, Xia Zhi even wanted to say that it is not as good as a hotel, why not bring your own bed sheets?

Pooh!Pooh!Pooh!Ye Lin took his mind into a ditch for any hotel or hotel.

"Xia Zhi, come here and lie down."

Ye Lin grabbed Xia Zhi's wrist and dragged him to the car door.

The clerk was a little strange: "Didn't you go to the driver's seat to feel it?"

"The comfort of the seat is more important." Ye Lin said with a smile.

Xia Zhi wanted to kick him up to the ceiling.

"I won't go in."

Xia Zhi looked at the leather seat and felt apprehensive.
