prevailing westerlies

On weekends, swimming pool.

Yuan Shuo was leading his team members to carry out daily training. When he got out of the water, he saw Lu Yi sharply, and frantically beckoned him over: "Old Lu, Lao Lu, come to a friendly match with our little Chenchen."

Lu Yi walked to the pool and gave him a sideways glance: "Are you blind? Can't you see Dad's bandage? Dad can only clear the waves with his white palm today."

The corner of Yuan Shuo's mouth twitched, and his eyes fell on Lu Yi's hoof.

Lu Yi: "What are you looking at! Do you have foot control?"

Yuan Shuo retched on the spot for ten seconds: "Damn, I haven't seen you for a few days, how can you become so narcissistic?" He couldn't bear to switch targets, and said to He Yihan: "Master, you and Xiao Chenchen have fun together!" Can you do it? You don't know that the kid thought about you day and night after seeing you last time, screaming every day, and you have surpassed Lao Lu in his heart."

The so-called "Xiao Chenchen" is probably the boy who cried because Lu Yi lost the game. He Yihan glanced around the swimming pool: "Where is he?"

"Let's cry silently in the changing room. I lost against the No. [-] Middle School yesterday, so I can't coax you. You guys came very timely." Yuan Shuo climbed out of the swimming pool and led He Yihan to find Liu Haochen in a chattering manner.

Lu Yi stretched out his hand to hold He Yihan, and said to Yuan Shuo: "What are you doing, my little Han is also worthy of your invitation?"

Yuan Shuo really wanted to break Lu Yi's other hand: "Why are you everywhere? If you don't go by yourself, why don't others go?"

He Yihan: "Sorry, I can't compare."

Yuan Shuo: "???"

Lu Yi raised the corner of his mouth, and said in an uncle's tone: "It seems that there is a new dessert shop in the gymnasium. I don't know how it tastes. I also heard that the school team members seem to have a [-]% discount card?"

Yuan Shuo understood: "Okay, you are cheap. I can go buy it now." He ran to get the coat angrily.

He Yihan looked at Lu Yi: "If you want to eat cake, we can go there after the end."

Lu Yi rubbed his hair: "I bought it for you. It's not good to swim on an empty stomach. I feel like I eat ten times as much food a day as you. How did you grow so tall?"

He Yihan's heart trembled, his tone was so gentle that he almost had the urge to kiss.The two looked at each other, the atmosphere was harmonious and beautiful, and then the warm yellow bubble was shattered unceremoniously by the late Jiang Meilin.

"He Yihan? Why are you here too?"

Lu Yi slowly withdrew his hand and turned to Jiang Meilin: "Ah, did I forget to tell you? My injury is not fully healed yet, please ask him to teach you."

Jiang Meilin: "..." Can you fucking forget to mention that?I think you don't care if I come or not!

Lu Yi misunderstood Jiang Meilin's broken expression: "Don't worry, he's a better swimmer than me, so he's more than enough to teach you."

He Yihan: "Not as good as you, that time was a fluke."

Jiang Meilin: "Okay, you two can stop bragging about your business."

He Yihan said very politely: "It doesn't matter if you don't need my teaching."

He was just telling the truth, but in Jiang Meilin's ears, the words and punctuation became the sound of war drums: "Did I say I don't need it?" She grabbed He Yihan's wrist, and she threatened to pull people into the swimming pool .

He Yihan barely stopped her: "Don't worry, do warm-up exercises first, otherwise you will get cramps."

The three moved their legs and feet in an indescribably mysterious atmosphere. Lu Yi sneaked up to He Yihan and whispered: "Are you sure you want to teach her yourself? I feel like she's going to eat you up. You said I thought too much, Any fool can see that she doesn't want to see you anymore."

It's a pity that the fool doesn't know the reason.He Yihan sighed: "It's okay, I will settle the matter with her."

After warming up, Yuan Shuo also hurried back. Seeing the woman he rarely met in the swimming pool, he was shocked: "Lao Lu, is this beautiful woman also your friend?"

Lu Yi briefly introduced the two of them.

Yuan Shuo called his players to suspend training and have a delicious afternoon tea - he bought a lot of desserts and drinks, and took the opportunity of being ripped off by Lu Yi to entertain the whole team and cheer for the upcoming league.The dripping boys came up to him with happy smiles, and sat beside Jiang Meilin intentionally or unintentionally, but the beauty only had a certain pair of dogs in her eyes.

He Yihan has no feelings for sweets, but the cake that Lu Yi personally handed over has already surpassed the category of "sweets". He dug mango cream with a spoon, and it was like honey dripping in his heart.If it wasn't for the fact that there were so many people around, he would really be able to do the idiotic behavior of "washing the package and keeping it for collection".

No one noticed that Yuan Shuo quietly left the crowd, and went to the changing room for the school team with pearl milk tea.Sure enough, Liu Haochen was still crying inside, and Yuan Shuo also wondered how he could squeeze out so much water.

"Xiaochenchen, look at what good things I brought. I added half a cup of milk cream. I don't care about you today. You can drink whatever you want. Don't cry, okay. If you don't go out, the training will be over."

Liu Haochen raised his head with swollen eyes, and his voice was thick and nasal: "It's over, it's over, I, anyway, it's like this no matter how I practice, woo woo woo, I'm so stupid, woo woo, captain..."

"Okay, okay, you are stupid, everyone knows, don't shout so loudly."

"You, are you human? I'm so sad that you still run on me." Liu Haochen unleashed his invincible iron fist and performed the mad hammer.Yuan Shuo was almost paralyzed by his beating: "You put down the straw first, and then feel your conscience and say that you are very sad."

Liu Haochen was crying and drinking non-stop: "Damn it, I also want to win the championship, why are they so strong, woo woo, I was thrown half a lane, woo woo woo."

Yuan Shuo helped him wipe his nose and tears with a headache: "You have time to mutter here, why don't you go into the water and swim twice more."

"No matter how much I practice, I can't compare!" Liu Haochen suddenly wailed, "I've worked very hard, but what's the use of hard work, some people can easily crush all my efforts! I haven't been home for half a year, and I'm going to live like a mermaid...how can I work harder?"

Yuan Shuo was overwhelmed by his broken roar, and it took him a long time to recover, and he took the sobbing man into his arms: "I was wrong, I said something wrong. Xiao Chenchen, the captain will give you Sorry, I don’t mean that you don’t work hard. Of course, I know how serious you are. You are right, some people are geniuses, and we ordinary people may not be able to catch up for a lifetime, but why should we catch up? Those who don't know?"

"If you don't chase, if you don't chase the champion, it's someone else's!"

"...Uh," Yuan Shuo said for half a second, "The championship is very important, but did you join the swimming team just to win the championship? Isn't it because you like swimming?"

Liu Haochen raised his head: "I came here for the championship, otherwise why would I come all the way to No. [-] Middle School. Is it because the food at home is not good or the bed is not good enough to sleep?"

"..."

"It's you, the captain, who is useless." After Liu Haochen vented, he calmed down a lot, and pushed Yuan Shuo away across the river, "I can't develop my potential at all, and I can't even coax others. When you didn't come, I would Not crying so hard."

"..." My mother gave you milk tea and it made a mistake?Yuan Shuo took a deep breath, without hesitation, "Wipe your face and get out for training, the fairy brother you talk about every day is here."

Liu Haochen jumped up on the spot, rushed to the closet and took out the small mirror to tidy up his face, complaining: "Why didn't you say it earlier, talking so much nonsense."

Yuan Shuo: "..."

On the other side of the swimming pool, everyone finished eating the cake and went back to everyone.With a girlish reserve, Lu Yi sat by the pool and soaked his feet, watching He Yihan's teaching live by the way.Those two people were in the shallow water area far away from him, so they couldn't hear the content of the conversation clearly. They could only see that He Yihan was teaching Jiang Meilin to breathe.

"Slow down, keep this rhythm until the conditioned reflex is formed."

Jiang Meilin felt that the way she moved in and out of the water was a bit silly, but she couldn't find He Yihan's fault, so she could only do it aggrieved.He Yihan watched her quietly from the side to prevent accidents. When he felt that the other party had almost mastered the skill of breathing, he further suggested: "Now try to float, and you can imagine yourself as a piece of dead wood. Keep your body In a straight line, okay, don’t be nervous, I’m holding you, keep your eyes on the water surface, don’t look at me. Are you okay, I’m going to let go.”

He was so meticulous that Jiang Meilin felt embarrassed. Isn't this guy really teaching her how to swim sincerely?She is ready for a comprehensive defense and counterattack. Doesn't he feel that she is targeting him so much?

Jiang Meilin's doubts dissipated after more than ten minutes, and she was finally able to float in the water independently. She was so happy that she put the current grievances and hatred behind her, and even thanked He Yihan happily: "You taught Much better than Brother Lu, he would tell me that you don’t need to learn to swim, you just get into the water.”

"He's not wrong. You're just afraid of water. Once you overcome this, your swimming style is easy to master." He Yihan glanced in the direction where Lu Yi was, and when he got a smirk from the other party, he turned his head, Lowering her voice slightly, "Student Jiang, there is something I want to tell you."

"You don't need to call me so politely, what's the matter?"

"I like Lu Yi."

"Puff cough cough——" Jiang Meilin was frightened, couldn't hold her breath, choked instantly, and hurriedly helped the ladder to stand up. Her mind was buzzing, and she tentatively responded, "I, I like it very much too. Brother Lu."

"Our preferences may be different."

Jiang Meilin was dumbfounded for a moment, then struggled and asked, "Are you gay?" She asked in a very low voice, as if she was the one who came out.

He Yihan nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

Jiang Meilin fell silent. It wasn't that she had nothing to say, but because she had too many questions to ask at once, she didn't know which one to say first.He Yihan's help and interest in Lu Yi far exceeds that of ordinary friends, even though the two were friends when they were young.She has indeed guessed from the angle of love, but at the moment she still finds it unbelievable.Jiang Meilin had mixed feelings in her heart, and in the end, she asked the most concerned thing first: "Have you confessed to Brother Lu?"

"No, he doesn't know that I like men."

Jiang Meilin let out an "ah" in surprise, and suddenly became irritable: "Then why did you tell me? Why, you want me to help you chase him? Just dream, I will never agree to it. And... Although It's too much to say that, but I don't want Brother Lu to be beaten by you."

Seeing her attitude, He Yihan felt relieved, and explained softly: "I didn't mean to ask you for help. It's my business to chase him, and it's his business to agree or disagree. I'm telling you, just because you are His best friend, I don't want him to be embarrassed because of our bad relationship."

"Are you talking to me, the little eunuch next to the emperor, as the empress of the palace?!"

"..."

"Don't daydream about the blue sky, so Brother Lu won't fall in love with you." Jiang Meilin felt guilty when he said the last few words, and couldn't help becoming more irritable, "Ah, anyway, it's too much for you to tell him nothing, isn't it like this? Can you take advantage of being a friend for nothing? You tricked him into living with you!"

"..." He Yihan decided to skip the parts that he didn't want to explain and couldn't explain clearly, "I'm sorry, maybe the way I spoke made you feel uncomfortable. I don't have any identity on my own. On the contrary, I am very grateful to you in my heart, because For family reasons, I have been away from Lu Yi for many years, and when I was away, a lovely girl like you was with him..."

Jiang Meilin interrupted He Yihan's words in disgust: "Enough is enough! It's disgusting, do you think you have taken the male lead's script?" She rubbed her arms and changed the subject abruptly: "Stay away from me , I’m going to play by myself. Standing next to you makes me look like an African.”

After He Yihan finished acting, he didn't have any interest in continuing. He climbed out of the pool, and he was going to find Lu Yi.

"Hey," Jiang Meilin hesitated and stopped him again, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about the conversation just now, including Brother Lu."

He Yihan said sincerely: "I'm not worried."

Jiang Meilin stared at his back, thinking sadly, it's over, this little boy is so powerful, how could Brother Lu not be wiped out by him?
