Swimmer of Rebirth

It is every athlete's dream to go abroad to compete on behalf of the country and compete with athletes from other countries, and it is the most important step in their sports career. Stand on the podium and stand at the top.

As the three people representing the country for the first time in the competition, Liu Yang, Ye Shuwen, and Wang Yaxin, the excitement in their hearts can no longer be expressed in words.

Trembling with excitement, his eyes were full of pride, his chin was raised high, his spine was straight, and his walk seemed to be carried by the wind, with a heroic posture.

Of course, it's not just them.

Everyone who is qualified to carry the athlete card and stand here has their confidence to be proud of.

Even Xu Han, the player who gave the coaches and athletes of the national team a headache, had a brilliance in his eyes, and he seemed to be much brighter.

Liu Yang and other athletes from various provinces and cities gathered in Beijing first. That night, the State Sports General Administration sent people to mobilize them before the game. The long words of encouragement made them unable to contain their excitement.

The man standing in front told them.

They are soldiers about to go out, all for honor, their own, and the group's.

Their words and deeds need to be cautious, and they must safeguard the banner they represent behind them.

After arriving in Japan and getting off the plane, the Japanese competition party sent several reception staff to lead them all the way to the competition area.

The city of Hiroshima was built to welcome the Asian Games. It has been slowly built from ruins in the past 10 years until it is now full of modernity. The spokes of the competition can be seen everywhere on both sides of the city streets.

There is a female tour guide among the reception staff, standing in front of the bus, making introductions in Chinese all the way, the accent is not very standard, mixed with a little bit of Mandarin speaking by foreigners, every time the car passes by a standard building , This tour guide will always have a faint smile on his face and explain conscientiously.

Participating in competitions abroad is always different. Everyone received a bouquet of welcome flowers when they got off the bus.

Liu Yang took the flowers and smiled politely at the young girl in front of him, in exchange for a respectful bow from the Japanese girl.

After that, Liu Yang's eyes did not move to the bouquet in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the smiling man in blue sportswear standing far outside the crowd.

Liu Yang raised the bouquet over his head, shook it at him, and the man came over.

When it got closer, Ye Shuwen was taken aback.

"Yao Ye!? Why is he still here??" With surprise in his tone, he turned to look at Liu Yang in doubt.

Not to mention that the person who was about to leave after the game ten days ago appeared here, just these few days, it was TV and newspapers, and the person who was used as a topic of chat not long ago suddenly appeared in front of him With this visual impact, Ye Shuwen's performance can be regarded as calm.

Athletes from other regions of the same team stared directly, especially some female players, a few acquaintances gathered together to discuss in a low voice, looking at Yao Ye with shinning and shy eyes.

Liu Yang looked around, raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt a hidden sense of pride in his heart.

Yao Ye went to the coach leading the team first, and he would smile politely when anyone came up to say hello along the way.

When he got close to Liu Yang, he also smiled as indifferently as before, and just pressed Ye Shuwen's head, and then moved to the back.

Liu Yang withdrew his gaze, smiled, and continued the previous topic, "You have to ask him about this, where do I know."

"If you don't know here, who else will know." Ye Shuwen squinted at Liu Yang, "You and brother Yao are the closest, didn't you go out of the country together not long ago? He didn't tell you?"

Liu Yang pursed his lips and smiled, but said nothing.

Although he and Yao Ye often talked on the phone, out of a subconscious awareness of safety precautions, both of them deliberately avoided being in front of others, not to mention that Liu Yang did not need to report to Ye Shuwen for a call, and Yao Ye would call after returning home. When I came here, I didn't report who I was with great fanfare. In a word, I found Liu Yang and it was over.

It seems impossible not to hide this matter. After all, no matter how good the relationship between Liu Yang and Yao Ye is on weekdays, they can't reach the point of calling once a week, right? Regardless of whether outsiders can see the suspicion, they are guilty of their own conscience.

This time the team was led by the coach of the national team. Out of politeness, Yao Ye went there to say hello first, then chatted with a few good players of the national team for a while, and followed them all the way. Into the hotel.

Liu Yang and Yao Ye made eye contact a few times, smiled naturally, and moved away quickly.

It was a four-star hotel that was in charge of entertaining them. There were many blond foreign athletes walking back and forth in the lobby. Both men and women looked very strong, with broad shoulders.

Wang Yaxin's small face was tense, as if he didn't know what expression to use.

Liu Yang turned him with an elbow, "Is your head dizzy?"

"Eh!?" Wang Yaxin looked at him stupidly, "Why are you dizzy?"

Liu Yang chuckled, "Isn't it the same as on TV?"

Wang Yaxin's eyes turned back to a female athlete from an unknown country. After thinking for a while, she said, "I need to be stronger. She looks like she is 30 years old."

"That may be the end of the Asian Games, there are still many athletes staying in Japan, but this time it is mainly aimed at the youth swimming competition, how can the 30-year-old come in, and we are not under great pressure in the youth group, after all You're 14 years old, what's there to be afraid of?"

Wang Yaxin knew that Liu Yang was helping him solve the problem, but after all, it was the first time to participate in this type of competition, the first time to go abroad, and the first time to compare with foreigners. Allow yourself to adapt as quickly as possible.

Liu Yang naturally understood what was going on in his heart. If he hadn't just returned from abroad three months ago, it would be great if he could adjust his mentality well in this situation. He didn't have the energy to take care of others, so he shut up No more talking.

Among the three brothers, Ye Shuwen's condition is considered good, his family environment is good, and he has seen a lot of the world. It can't be said that going abroad is so extravagant that he often goes on vacation, but it is not uncommon. In addition, Ye Shuwen is a confident person No matter whether you are a cat or a tiger, we are better than ourselves. If you swim poorly, you are not in good condition. If you swim well, you can do it well, so there is no need for Liu Yang to worry about it.

They lived in the same standard room, but this time Liu Yang didn't get to share a room with Ye Shuwen. In the eyes of the team coach, there was no difference between provinces and cities. Everyone came out to compete on behalf of the country, which naturally disrupted the arrangement. Of course, there is another idea in the coach's mind, which is the so-called small group, which is the most prone to accidents. Now that he is abroad, he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so he naturally thinks carefully in every aspect.

But when Liu Yang and Zhang Tukai stood in the room and looked at each other and smiled, the word fate flashed in their hearts.

The two of them met once before. At the National Games, Liu Yang injured his hand. Yao Ye was afraid that he would not be able to take care of him by himself, so he took him to the hotel where he was staying. Liu Yang still remembered that dinner. The chair to sit on was forced from Zhang Tukai.

Zhang Tukai and Yao Ye had been brothers for nearly 10 years, and they might have reached the point where they were blood-sucked to become the leader of the alliance, but Liu Yang's secret hook-up with Yao Ye was quite mysterious.

Now it's good, friendship and love are together, Yao Ye is more confident in visiting.

Liu Yang didn't have the opportunity to study Zhang Tukai's personality, but as the saying goes, those who are close to ink are black, and combined with Yao Ye's performance in front of him, Liu Yang guessed that Zhang Tukai was also a glib but sensible master.

For the next five days, Liu Yang thinks that nothing will happen.

"Hi, Yao Ye's little friend." Zhang Tukai greeted first with a smile.

Liu Yang secretly rolled his eyes, thinking about the name of Yao Ye's kid, and he said this, so he also smiled and said haha, "I remember you, my friend who sits in the seat."

"Is that meal comfortable? That's my throne, it's up to you, I'm not bad, am I?"

"Very good, why don't you choose the royal bed first today? I will accept you."

"Ha, no price, I respect the old and love the young, don't turn around and let Yao Ye see me and say that I'm not authentic."

"How come, I also respect the old and love the young."

Zhang Tukai was choked up for a moment, thought about the words in reverse, and smiled, "No wonder Yao Ye always said you have a sharp mouth, I've seen it here, hey, let me tell you, don't you think that you can't take advantage of the slightest loss?" ?”

"You are wrong. Suffering is a blessing. Collecting accounts of favors is my pleasure." Shuxiangmendi [Dark Fragrance Shuying] organizes "weirdness." Zhang Tukai laughed haha, not believing Liu Yang's nonsense at all, and chose He sat on the nearby bed, bent down and opened the luggage of the travel bag, and said with the sound of the zipper, "Don't even think about collecting my favors, I will let you owe it twice, give up your seat Once, make the bed once."

Liu Yang chuckled, carrying his luggage, swaggered to the bed by the window, sat down, and began to pack his luggage.

The two were silent for a while, Zhang Tukai suddenly asked him, "Is your name Liu Yang?"

Liu Yang nodded and hummed, "Zhang Tukai, brother Kai, right?"

"You have a pretty good memory. Hey, Liu Yang, did you go abroad for training with Yao Ye a few days ago?"

"Well, two months."

"how do you feel?"

"How about what?" Liu Yang blinked, but didn't understand what he meant.

"Yao Ye, what do you think? I heard that you are living together, are you welcome?"

"Very good." Liu Yang replied casually, and began to wonder whether Yao Ye might have told this person everything, but after thinking about it again, with Yao Ye's cautious attitude, it is estimated that if he hadn't been drunk Even if he made a slip of the tongue, he must continue to hide it.

Not sure, Liu Yang asked him with a bit of a cliché, "Yao Ye has already told you something, isn't he talking bad about me?"

"Bad words!?" Zhang Tukai raised his voice in displeasure, "He didn't want to say anything at all, and the only thing that tricked him was that you followed him."

"Oh." Liu Yang nodded clearly, "So you're here to trick me?"

"Isn't that curious? In previous years, Yao Ye chose to go outside for training on days when there were no major competitions. This year, he even ran outside when the Asian Games were approaching. It nearly drove us Huang Boss to death."

"Then how did he leave?"

"Your coach called first, and then his father also came to greet Coach Huang. There is no other way, so let him go. Liu Yang, you are really good, even the boss has to compromise, Yao Ye really likes you of."

The complainers here still don't know, but when Liu Yang heard the last sentence, he was flustered and felt that he could hear the beating of his heart.

Liu Yang made a calm expression on the outside, and smiled lightly, "It's not that they are all in the hands of the same foreign teacher after all. They are always worried about my age. Hey, Brother Kai, listening to your tone, Yao Ye and his father are also very happy. Awesome, what are you doing?" Liu Yang changed the subject.

Zhang Tukai was also taken away, "His father, the deputy director of the General Administration, I guess your coach Luo asked him to help."

Liu Yang snorted, feeling that things were getting worse and worse. The more he got to know Yao Ye, the more he felt that the relationship between the two of them was unreliable. The deputy director of the General Administration of Sports would tremble even if he stomped his feet in the Chinese sports circle. Two times, plus managing his own son is justified, he reckoned that if he knew what kind of person his son was looking for, it would be Liu Yang who would suffer in the end.

Liu Yang suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He lost his energy and flinched a little. Firstly, it was because of the above reasons. The idea that the family slowly accepted was in vain.

Aggrieved, uncomfortable.

Liu Yang let out a sigh of relief. He felt that his decision of needing time to figure it out was very wise. He still had to think about whether he could be with Yao Ye, and what to do if he was really together. , very difficult.

In fact, Liu Yang really thought too much, and it was because of this reason that he hesitated in the face of his feelings today.

I am also afraid of whether the public will accept it or not, and I am also afraid of the difficulties faced by my own family. Compared with these, how far the two people have progressed with Yao Ye is secondary. If you really like it, you will have desires. The prohibition of kissing and hugging will slowly dissipate in Liu Yang's heart.

But he has to think about every unfavorable situation in his head repeatedly, reminding himself again and again that this is not possible and that is not acceptable.

How many people can suppress emotions with reason alone?

Even though Yao Ye was mentally prepared early on and did so much mental construction for himself, but when he met someone he liked, he still couldn't control it, and Liu Yang saw the clue, and only then did he have the bridge to confess after drinking part.

What can be suppressed is not enough love.

Yao Ye came back an hour later. I heard that he stayed in this hotel with the team, and it was free. He came so late just for Zhang Luo.

Yao Ye's expression didn't seem to be different, he flirted with Zhang Tukai for a while, then flirted with Liu Yang for a while, smiling all the time, very close and well-measured.

The more this is the case, the more Liu Yang feels that this person will pretend. He has obviously reached this point, and on the surface he is still acting like a normal person, leaving him here to tangle.

Of course, he, Liu Yang, did a good job of saving face. This Zhang Tukai and Zhang Erye foolishly made light bulbs in this room without knowing it.

The schedule of the World Youth Games this time is very tight. After 5 days of competition, the opening and closing ceremonies should be simply performed in the swimming pool.

In the afternoon, Liu Yang and the others went to familiarize themselves with the venue, but they didn't go into the water.

Yao Ye stood beside Liu Yang and asked him to listen to the whistling sound from time to time in the swimming pool, saying that world competitions are different from domestic competitions, especially in this new swimming pool specially built for large-scale competitions. It made a synthetic sound similar to a whistle, telling him to get used to it as soon as possible.

Liu Yang nodded, and used his brain to remember the sound with his eyes closed. The sound of the whistle was loud, sharp, and short, but not harsh. After getting used to the loud noise in the swimming pool when the gun was fired, the sound was too loud. flat.

Liu Yang pondered for a while, and asked Yao Ye, "I feel that I can't achieve the effect of tension, and the excitement is not enough. How did you adjust yourself at that time?"

Yao Ye laughed, "You have to think so much to get used to the voice, are you tired?"

Liu Yang leaned towards him, without saying a word, with an expression of whether you like to talk or not.

It is human nature, the first to be emotional is always more passive.

Seeing Liu Yang shut up, Yao Ye was moved and explained to him, "The game is something that you can only feel the atmosphere when you are in front of it. What's the use of you thinking about it here? I'll wait until you change your swimming trunks tomorrow. Standing in front of the lane, you know what it's like."

In fact, as soon as Yao Ye opened his mouth to explain, Liu Yang felt that something was wrong with him, like a kind of arrogance and arrogance in his heart. He reminded himself that it was impossible to do this again. It's important to get along with each other, there is no one who is superior or inferior, who is strong or who is weak, besides, he and Yao Ye haven't reached the point of losing their temper after everything is cleared up.

Of course, there is another hidden, deeper reason that even Liu Yang didn't think of. He didn't want to admit that he was on the weak side, and he always wanted two people to stand on the same footing. It is used to describe the weak side.

After all, you have to be pampered first, then you will be proud, right?

Back at the hotel that night, Yao Ye did not bother Liu Yang's room again. Before the game, there is no need for overly entangled and unclear emotions to appear. Yao Ye understands, and Liu Yang also understands. Let them recall the ordinary but warm cohabitation life, and then think of the situation of the two of them at the moment and those seemingly unsolvable problems.

Yao Ye is an old athlete. The competitions he has participated in and the scenes he has seen are much more profound than those of Liu Yang who can only watch the competitions in front of the TV in his previous life and this life. He knows what to do. The best thing for Liu Yang is that he always wants Liu Yang to go more smoothly, let him go faster and better, and then he is sincerely happy.

Liu Yang knows, just knows, thinks clearly, sees clearly, so he always finds clues from Yao Ye's actions, and then he is infected a little bit, moved by it, and finally sinks into his heart.

What Yao Ye held in his hand was a soft knife, which didn't hurt the flesh but penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
