Swimmer of Rebirth

Peking University, swimming pool.

Liu Yang sat on the stands, resting his chin on one hand, looking around boredly.

The 8 headlights in the swimming pool were turned on brightly, and eight dazzling water flowers bloomed in the clear blue swimming pool. The pool water was rippling and hitting the pool bank, and the sound of the water echoed in the swimming pool, mixed with the cheers of college students.

The men's 400-meter freestyle final is underway in the swimming pool under the stands.

"What? Bored?"

Liu Yang turned his head and looked over.

Yao Ye had already changed his clothes, and was pinching a dark blue towel in his hand. The drops of water flowing from his wet hair stained his forehead, which reflected his complexion was somewhat moist and tender, and his slightly elongated eyes contained Smiling, reflecting himself in black and white.

"It's not bad." Liu Yang smiled and asked, "How much is Peking University number one?"

Yao Ye shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, the students from Peking University don't know which ones. Anyway, I'm playing my own. There will be a relay race later, so I don't know which ones I can get."

"With you always around, no matter what, don't be modest, show off to me, right?"

"You're talking like a layman. It's easy to say that I swim 400 meters alone. The problem is that I only swim 100 meters, and the rest is done by other people. How much faster can I go even if I try my best? 3 seconds to the sky Yes! Isn’t it meaningless if a stick is bad?”

"Tsk tsk, are you still saying that you are not humble? This is not just your inter-school competition? It is completely an internal competition of our national team, okay? How many ordinary students have entered the top three? Do you want to surpass yourself by 100 seconds in the 3 meters? Yao Ye, what do you want me to say?" As he spoke, Liu Yang shook his head and sighed, giving him a very helpless look.

Yao Ye grinned, "That's not right, there are Beijing team and sports talents here, who knows how to arrange it later, and their coaches have the final say."

Liu Yang pursed his lips and thought for a while, yes, so he asked, "Yao Ye, tell me, when can I relay with you?"

"...If I don't pick up with you, I will be hindered." Yao Ye raised his eyebrows with a mean smile, and wiped away the drops of water that fell on his eyebrows.

Liu Yang stared round his eyes, gritted his teeth, "Sorry! Don't beg me in the future."

"Why should I beg you? I'm not in charge of arranging the relay race. Naturally, the coaches will assign tasks to you. If you have the ability, you will refuse!" Yao Ye put his hand on Liu Yang's shoulder, and put his lips together. He whispered in his ear, "Yangyang, I'm sorry, I've already booked the place, but who knows there's an inter-school competition, wait for me a little longer, we'll go tonight..."

Liu Yang glanced at him indifferently, and said flatly, "I'm not in a hurry, it's you who is in a hurry." He choked back flatly.

Yao Ye was choked up, stared at Liu Yang for two seconds, and then softened up quickly, "There should be no game for the next two hours, how about going to dinner with me?"

Liu Yang flipped his hand and glanced at his watch. It was 13:15. He hadn't felt anything before. This reminder suddenly felt his stomach empty and convulsed, so he nodded quickly and got up.

It was early spring, the time when all kinds of flowers were in full bloom. Liu Yang and Yao Ye walked side by side on the campus path. Young leaves grew from the branches above their heads. The warm sun at noon poured spots on their faces. It was warm and tired from the outside to the inside.

After lunch, seeing that it was still early, Yao Ye took Liu Yang for a stroll around the Peking University campus.I didn't dare to go too far, Liu Yang came in for the first time, Yao Ye hadn't been here a few times, and there was a game later, so I just walked around.

There are not too few students around, but most of them are from the Department of Physical Education. The teaching buildings and dormitory buildings for students majoring in medicine, science and engineering are quite far away. In addition, it is the lunch break time at this point, so I didn’t see those heads. Liu Yang felt a little regretful about the useful top students.

"...Can you and Ye Shuwen have a good talk? It's like guarding me against thieves. Why don't I do it? Why is this necessary... Eh!? What are you looking at?" Yao Ye was talking, and saw Liu Yang He stopped at the same spot, and followed Liu Yang's line of sight to look over...

Lying on a bench under an old tree was a young man in light-colored underwear. The distance was relatively far, and the shade of the tree made it impossible to see his face clearly, but he probably knew that he was on a lunch break.

Liu Yang didn't answer, and walked forward a few steps quickly. When he really confirmed that he saw the right person, he felt mixed feelings in his heart.

He didn't expect that the first acquaintance he met in his previous life after rebirth would be Liu Shuo, or rather, he shouldn't be considered an acquaintance, and it would be more appropriate to describe him as a rival in love in his previous life.

When he first pursued Qi Jing, Liu Shuo was his strongest and most formidable rival in love. He graduated from the Department of Commerce of Peking University, and his income was quite high and stable. At that time, he was already a family with cars and houses, but it was a pity that he was the one who got the beauty in the end. Gui, now that I think about it, it's really funny, why?A beautiful face, a sweet mouth, coupled with a thick skin of repeated defeats and repeated defeats, has been shamelessly worn down for a year. At that time, I didn't feel it. Looking back now, I guess Qi Jing was also worn out. There was no other way, and because of some habits, he agreed to it reluctantly. I heard that Liu Shuo married the daughter of the company's boss after a year, and he was on the way to success. I didn't know until he was hit by a car. Liu Shuo has been transferred to the head office and took up the position of manager, and Qi Jing's annoyance really made him entangled for a long time.

At this moment, when I saw my old friend again, that former rival in love who was still on the university campus, I immediately felt a lot of emotions.

"You know him?" Yao Ye asked, patted Liu Yang on the shoulder.

Liu Yang withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look at Yao Ye, pursed his lips and smiled, "I'm wrong, I don't know him."

"Oh, are you still leaving?"

Liu Yang nodded, and walked out side by side with Yao Ye, without looking behind him again.

Everything yesterday has passed, let alone the previous life, no matter what the fate of Liu Shuo and Qi Jing will be in the future, maybe in a few years, when they meet, fall in love, or even get married, they will no longer have any intersection with his fate. Why bother to be nostalgic, take good care of the present, go all the way with this person beside him, and take every day seriously is what he should do.

On the way back to the swimming team at night, Yao Ye's face was dark, which matched the night sky outside the car window.

With a suppressed smile at the corner of Liu Yang's mouth, he bumped him with his arm, and said in a low voice, "Don't do this, it's not my fault, don't show embarrassment to me."

Yao Ye didn't speak, but turned to look out the car window.

"I said, the rules of intercollegiate competitions are really strict. Didn't you just jump 0.7 seconds and cancel your No.1 at Peking University? But it's not your fault, isn't it? It's not you who jumped. Yes, the third player should be too nervous, who is right, can't you treat those college students as professional athletes, besides, there are few such things in international competitions?"

Yao Ye frowned and glanced at Liu Yang, "One or two is bad, I won't talk about three, it's not professional, but one, Lei Gang, only retired from the national team last year, only a year old Time has regressed so much, if Coach Zhao finds out, won’t he be pissed off?”

"Retired? It's no wonder you two have been chatting shoulder to shoulder, but it's not the fault of others, is it? You said you're retired, so I guess you'll be catching up on cultural lessons this year. By the way, Yao Ye, you Didn't you think about reading books when you have free time? So that you don't have to go back to school to chase after hard work?"

Yao Ye shrugged his shoulders to show that he was not interested, "Why do you blame yourself? You are so tired from training every day, so how can you read anymore? Are you tired? Swimming forces me to train, and I don't dare to miss the cultural class. Do you still want to grab it with both hands?"

"That's right!" Liu Yang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's the safest place to put it with double insurance. Besides, I didn't say anything. You finally got into Peking University, and a diploma from the Department of Physical Education is enough. ? Then return to the Sports Bureau to work as soon as you graduate? Be a coach?"

"It's not good to be a coach?" Yao Ye looked at him in confusion.

"That's not what it means, but are you willing to live the rest of your life like a civil servant?"

Yao Ye's complexion suddenly darkened, and he looked straight at Liu Yang with a bottomless depth.

The smile on the corners of Liu Yang's mouth that was oppressed by Yao Ye's air pressure gradually narrowed, not knowing why.

Yao Ye said, "Until today, all my food and flowers are given by the state. I can achieve today's results because of the training of the coaches. If there are no coaches who study hard, China's sports can develop to the same level. How far? Without the support of the government and the unremitting efforts of the sports predecessors, how can China become an international sports power? What's wrong with being a coach? You can watch carefully selected children grow into talents, and watch them change step by step. Forcibly stepping into the international swimming arena, is this honor and honor, or...do you despise people who engage in sports?"

Seeing the sharpness in Yao Ye's eyes, the pent-up anger flickering in them, Liu Yang was completely speechless.

He didn't mean that at first, but he just hoped that Yao Ye could have a better path after retiring. In fact, with Yao Ye's family background and his current swimming performance, if he can win a few more gold medals in the Olympics, then his own It can become a positive image, no matter what kind of job is easy to find, even if you start your own company, you will be given the green light, instead of just being a swimming coach at the grassroots level.

But he can't say it now, Yao Ye's words blocked him, if he continued to argue, he would become a heartless person in the other party's heart.

I was a little confused about the future, whether he and Yao Ye would continue to live so cautiously in the future. Without marriage, it means that the family has no intersection. Without those inextricable connections, he and Yao Ye still have What?

love?

But how long can love last?

When parents urge to get married, when friends marry wives and have children, when watching those lovers strolling leisurely holding hands in the sun, can I still persevere?

Liu Yang didn't know whether their hands could still be firmly held together in the face of the thorns and ups and downs in the future.

For a long time, Liu Yang has been pursuing a stable relationship, without being vigorous, passionate, or enviable, all he wants is a house where he and the person he loves live in, sleeping on the same bed every day, The first thing you see when you open your eyes is the other person, and then eat a delicious breakfast, or deal with it outside if you don’t want to do it, then look at each other and smile before going to work, and then say see you in the evening, so That's all, a stable life.

But he chose Yao Ye. This man is doomed to ups and downs in the future. There is no way to do it. If you are tempted, you will be tempted. He can resist, but on this basis, he still expects to minimize all the damage.

So he doesn't want Yao Ye to stay in the sports circle from the bottom of his heart. This circle is too passionate and honest, and they can't tolerate the existence of aliens. Even a star athlete who is expected by the Chinese people will be excluded because of his sexuality, not to mention It's the coach, freezing, blocking, crowding out, downgrading...

Any situation will hurt Yao Ye, hurt their already fragile emotional connection, and make stability no longer exist.

What's more, ten or twenty years later, what reason does he use to face everyone's questions about their living together?

The road was silent, the car bumped, and the street lights outside the car window shone on the face, flickering, like watching a speeding train in the subway, not knowing what was in the train, just feeling that the world suddenly changed The confrontation between black and white is clear.

Liu Yang turned his head to look at Yao Ye, wanting to speak out what was in his heart, hurt and hope, dream and reality, in many cases, the gray area in the middle is the darkest and saddest.

But the voice was stuck in his throat and he couldn't make a sound.

The bus stopped at the entrance of the national team. Liu Yang got up and waited for the brothers and sisters in the bus who also represented various colleges and universities to get off the bus. When he was about to follow the one in front, his wrist was grabbed.

Yao Ye gave him a wink, let go of his hand quickly, and got out of the car first.

Liu Yang stood behind him inexplicably, seeing him say hello and goodbye one by one, until the team members had finished leaving and the car drove away, Yao Ye came to Liu Yang and whispered, "Don't go back tonight, okay?" Okay? Let's stop a car and go there."

Liu Yang glanced at his watch and said, "It's almost 10 o'clock, I didn't ask for leave today, so forget it."

"Didn't ask for leave?" Yao Ye's eyes widened, "Didn't I tell you earlier? You didn't ask for leave? Forget it, I'll call my uncle to ask for it for you."

"Don't! It's so late, it's not good to bother Coach Luo anymore, let's forget about it today." Liu Yang raised his hand and grabbed Yao Ye's arm, looking up at him.

Yao Ye stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Liu Yang, his dark eyes became gloomy, and he asked lightly, "What do you mean?"

Liu Yang smiled, "Really, you're tired today too, so let's talk after you have a good rest?"

"...Forget it." Yao Ye said lightly, raised his arm, shook off Liu Yang's hand, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

Liu Yang looked at Yao Ye's back, thought for a while, then caught up and grabbed Yao Ye's clothes and asked, "Are you angry?"

Yao Ye looked at Liu Yang with a smile on one side of his mouth, "It's not bad, it's better than you think."

Liu Yang also knew how long Yao Ye had been waiting for a day, but he was really not in the mood. Just when Yao Ye said that he wanted to be a coach, it seemed that the dim light in front of him suddenly went out, and there was a blur in his vision. It was pitch black, and his mood was also brought into the darkness. Confusion and hesitation swept him, and the uneasiness suppressed in his heart surged out.

Yao Ye has his own ideals, he has no right to intervene, and his expectations for the future are too idealistic, there is no clear path for him to choose, he can't put forward his own opinions, because he himself doesn't know what to do , I can only protect myself subconsciously, hoping that I can calm myself down before finding that path and the situation becomes clear, so that I will not be swept away by emotions.

Liu Yang admits that his thinking is wrong and should not involve Yao Ye. Yao Ye has paid so much for him, even if he has any ideas, he should find another time to talk about them, instead of refusing to ask like some girls. Huanlai threatens the other party to agree to himself.

So Liu Yang gritted his teeth, pulled Yao Ye's clothes vigorously, and walked to the side of the road, making gestures of hailing a car while walking.

Yao Ye silently looked at Liu Yang's little face that was going all out, the bright eyeballs were flickering under the light of the back and forth car lights, his heart softened again, those anger disappeared without a trace, and he thought how could there be such a cute people?I think about messy things all day long, and if I get angry with others, I will soften my posture as soon as I ignore it, and if I get angry, I will solve it by myself after a while.

It's not like a 15-year-old kid.

Yao Ye rubbed his chin, he had to admire Liu Yang, he wouldn't even guarantee that he would have this ability.

In a better mood, Young Master Yao didn't care too much. Thinking about rushing to the hotel to stay for one night just to have sex, it was meaningless, so he raised his hand to hook Liu Yang's forehead and dragged him back .

Liu Yang tilted his head and blinked his eyes.

"Forget it." Yao Ye said, "I'm really tired today, let's find another chance later."

"Eh!?" Liu Yang was surprised.

"Tomorrow morning, I have to go to Peking University for an exhibition game. I am old, and I don't have the energy like you."

Liu Yang grinned, knowing that Yao Ye was looking for a step for himself, so he climbed down the ladder.

But it’s one thing not to go to bed, but it’s been a month since Ye Shuwen and Zhang Weijia found out, and the two of them haven’t even made any intimate moves, so they took a break and found a safe place. After a while, both of them parted reluctantly with an air of desire and dissatisfaction.
