There are nine events in the semi-finals, namely men's and women's 100-meter freestyle, 100-meter backstroke, and 100-meter butterfly; men's 1000-meter freestyle, women's 800-meter freestyle, and the last team competition: men's and women's 4X100-meter medley.

The two teams with the highest total points will represent Los Angeles in the statewide runoff held a month later.

Ai Xing participated in the men's 100-meter freestyle and mixed relay.After all eight teams have entered the arena, the men's 100m freestyle will start first.

Local Los Angeles sports channels were also broadcasting live, and cameras were set up on all sides of the pool.As the players walked to the pool one by one, the names of the corresponding players were released in the order of the lanes in the broadcast.

Ai Xing was ranked fourth, and next to him was Eric Howard, a 12th-grade player from Blue Lake High School, who was also the No.1 in the state in this event last year.When WilliamAi's name was heard in the arena, the camera lens was aimed at Ai Xing. He pulled up the nameplate of Longwood High School on the front of his shirt, pointed to the line of gilded characters, and immediately attracted the students of Longwood High School in the audience. There was a burst of cheers.

This is the first time Ning He saw Ai Xing in a competitive sports state.The boy has neat short hair, and the contours of his facial features look deep and straight under the spotlights.Among the eight players in the field, he is the only Asian face. Ning He knows that Ai Xing has grown a lot taller than when he first met last summer. His height, which is close to 185, makes him oppressive in his actions. feel.

The names of the eight contestants were quickly reported on the radio.Ai Xing sat back in the chair behind, took off his sneakers and school uniform, and put on a swimming cap.When he stood up again, his lean and firm muscles and his perfect figure with wide shoulders and long arms were undoubtedly revealed.

While buckling up the racing goggles, he walked to the starting platform and waited for the start of the race.Compared with the few players around who made small movements frequently, he just put his right hand on his left arm and slowly squeezed his arm muscles. He was extremely calm and his face was calm.

The racing goggles covered half of his face, but they couldn't conceal the fierce and domineering aura of a king.

The first long whistle sounded, and the players stood on the starting platform one after another.The moment everyone left, Ai Xing turned his head slightly, glanced at Ning He leaning against the railing, and felt a subtle feeling in his heart.

Outsiders thought that he was ambitious and bound to achieve all kinds of achievements, but they didn't know that he never really tried his best to do anything.

In the first 17 years of his life, most of what Ai Xing felt was the admiration and envy of relatives and friends, or the strict requirements and parenting constraints from his parents, and he was always able to respond freely with a maturity that did not match his age.

If the world thinks that a successful person should show the appearance of hard work to prove that all achievements should be a fusion of talent and sweat, then he is also willing to match the world's expectations and make himself look like that.

But no one knows, he always feels that there is an inexplicable sense of distance between himself and the outside world.Under his seemingly hard-working appearance, there is a heart that has never been moved.

——Until the appearance of Ning He.

Facing the rippling blue water, Ai Xing suddenly wanted to win, and his scattered thoughts came to an abrupt end.

All the contestants bowed down, their arms drooped, and their fingers were tapped to the curved surface of the take-off platform.Ai Xing also made corresponding movements, and at the same time raised his left leg, kicking on the rear pedal to prepare for exertion.

The arena seemed to be frozen and quiet, and the endless noise disappeared, only the referee issued the command, "Take your mark."

Ai Xing felt that every muscle in his body had accumulated strength that was waiting to explode.If he's ever been the one who pretends to be on the move when success or failure is meaningless, this is the first time in his life that he wants to win for himself.

The short whistle sounded immediately, and almost all the players jumped into the water at the same time.

An electronic screen by the pool shows that the fastest time to enter the water is 0.65 seconds.This person is Ai Xing.

Ai Xing and Eric beside him chased and bit closely. When they swam close to 50 meters, the other players were at least an arm behind them. Eric first touched the wall and turned around at 26.02 seconds, and Ai Xing was only 0.4 seconds behind him. After a 15-meter dive, they started the final contest.

The students in the auditorium gradually boiled up, and shouts of "Longwood!" and "Blue Lake!" rushed across the pool and rang out.

Ning He was pushed by the restless crowd all around, and he almost couldn't stand still.With one hand, he barely held the cell phone that was being filmed, while the other hand held the railing, and his eyes followed the swift figure that was shuttling through the fourth lane.

Ai Xing tied Eric in the last 1.25 meters and overtook him. In the end, he won No.100 in the men's 1-meter freestyle with a [-]-second advantage, breaking the three-year monopoly of Blue Lake Middle School in this individual event.

The students of Longwood High School were almost insanely excited by this sudden first victory, and almost every child embraced and cheered with the people around them.Ning He silently put away his mobile phone, and looked at the boy who was out of the water.

Ai Xing took off the racing glasses, glanced at the various data displayed on the big screen in front of him, then turned around and shook hands with Erivc in the third lane, and then showed a rare smile.

When he got up and left the swimming pool, it was probably because the students in Area C were too enthusiastic and kept calling his name.Finally, he walked over with a towel on, and celebrated with high fives with the students in the first row.

Ning He stood calmly in the crowd, saw Ai Xing approaching, and even subconsciously wanted to step back, but felt a hand gently rubbing his head through the baseball cap.

Ten minutes later, his cell phone in his trouser pocket vibrated, and Ning He took it out to see that it was a message from Ai Xing: I am ready to accept my brother's reward.It also comes with an emoticon pack of a little devil's head.

The corners of Ning He's lips curled up in a small arc, and he didn't immediately reply to this message.Of course the reward must be honored, but the advantage of Changmu High School is not obvious at present, and he doesn't want to disturb Ai Xing's preparation for the final relay race.

I don't know if it was because of the great encouragement brought by the first victory, Changmu High School, whose overall strength before the game could only be regarded as an upper-middle level, unexpectedly showed an aura of dominating the audience under the leadership of captain Ai Xing.All the players in the team showed unprecedented potential. Changmu rose all the way in the standings and broke into the top three after the end of the individual competition.And when the last bat of the men's and women's medley was handed over to Ai Xing, there was still a difference of two meters between him and the last bat of Blue Lake High School who started first.

In the contest between the kings above the peak, the difference of two meters can be regarded as a distance like a chasm.But Ai Xing started to turn the tide after a quick dive.When he swam 50 meters in the first half, he almost touched the wall at the same time as the Blue Lake players when they turned around. In the last half, Ai Xing continued to catch up, and the other six teams had been left far behind by them.

Many spectators, including Ning He, could see that Ai Xing retained some strength in the first men's individual freestyle competition.It wasn't until the start of this decisive game that he fully demonstrated his amazing underwater talent - extremely explosive lower body strength when touching the wall and turning around, four movements only exchange one breath of lung capacity, and wide shoulders and arms The long-distance paddling advantage brought by the long-distance.

When Ai Xing swam into the last 15 meters, the Blue Lake players next door had been completely disrupted by him.Changmu High School's slogan changed from "Longwood!" to Ai Xing's first name "William!"

The moment Ai Xing reached out and touched the wall, the words "New Record" (new record) were displayed on the huge LED screen. The following is the result of the 4X100 team competition: Changmu High School defeated the previous champion with a time of 3 minutes and 49 seconds. The remaining seven teams won the first place, and the total points will be promoted to another place.

And Ai Xing refreshed the best personal lap time in the league in the past five years, completing the last 49.91 meters in 100 seconds.

In the end, Blue Lake High School kept the No.1 score in the total score, and Changwood High School, as the biggest dark horse in the game, came in second with a difference of one point.It also means they will advance to the California Finals with Blue Lake High.

The students around Ninghe were so excited that they cried into a ball. The coaches and staff of the Changmu school team who were staying in the preparation area also rushed into the swimming pool together. Ai Xing, who had just landed, was surrounded by enthusiastic crowds. Knead, and finally push directly into the water.

The camera of the sports channel is aimed at Ai Xing the whole time, and his images frequently appear on the big screen.All the people watching the battle were also infected by the bloody spirit of a Jedi counterattack. It was not until after the award ceremony that the emotions of the students present gradually calmed down.

Ai Xing was thinking about Ning He, so he left early from the team lounge with an excuse, and walked around to the auditorium to find someone.Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the infield, he was about to take out his mobile phone to contact Ning He, when his friend Daniel suddenly jumped out from the side.

While hugging him and congratulating him, Daniel pretended to be mysterious and said to him, "William, you can't guess it! There are special people watching the game today!"

Ai Xing was puzzled at first, and then realized that Ning He might have been recognized by the students present.Thinking that it was not kind of him to hide from his friend for so long, he decided to take this opportunity to confess and be lenient.

"Is it the lead singer of Invisible?" He asked his friend with a smile.

Daniel was shocked, "How do you know!? You saw it too!?" As he spoke, he pointed to a figure standing in front of him, "He has been staying in Area C, and even took out his mobile phone to take pictures in the middle, you said he Who are you here to see?"

The smile in Ai Xing's eyes deepened, he covered his mouth and coughed unnaturally, and said, "Come and see me. Daniel, I never told you that Ning is actually my brother."

The students who hadn't left all around came and went, and some people stopped to say hello to Ai Xing to express their congratulations.Ai Xing noticed from the corner of his eye that Ning He had got up from the front row and walked over.

As for Daniel, Daniel was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ai Xing with a "what are you talking about" expression, and finally burst into wild laughter without warning, while reaching out to pat Ai Xing's shoulder.

"Do you fucking like idols like dizzy hahaha, I also really want to tell you that Ning is actually my brother and took the time to watch my games. William, I really didn't expect you to be so humorous...  .”

Ai Xing frowned speechlessly, and repeated again, "He is really my brother."

Daniel was already laughing happily, and said to Ai Xing with a trembling voice, "Go and ask for an autograph or a group photo while he is still here, or you won't have a chance next time!"

——With no DNA support, how can I prove to others that my brother is my brother?

Seeing that Ning He had already walked four or five meters away from him, Ai Xing stopped hesitantly.He suddenly grabbed Daniel, pulled him directly in front of Ning He, and then covered the mouth of Ning He, the lead singer of the popular psychedelic band, with his hands in full view.

He called out in Chinese, "Brother."

Daniel is a mixed-race child with half Chinese ancestry. He often communicates with his mother in Chinese at home, so of course he can understand what Ai Xing said.

The air around suddenly froze, I saw Ai Xing take away the hand covering Ning He's mouth, the lead singer who has always been the only one on the stage, not only did not have any anger after being offended, but looked at Ai Xing with a smile, He said, "Hmm."
