cut the waves

"You——" Su Liao became angry for a while, "No matter what you do, you must do something for yourself? Are you tired of living?"

Yu Yu: "..."

Su Liao looked at the clouds passing by in the sky, and said slowly: "Actually, I only realized recently——"

Su Liao made up the story without any cards, but when he answered seriously, he spoke a lot slower: "Many things I have are not because of how good I am, but because my growing environment has given me more. more resources, more opportunities. And once I fall into the kind of—how should I put it—when I blindly take everything I have for granted, my vision will become narrow, and for some—I may not understand things—that would lead to harsh judgments. I don’t think that’s good.”

Yu Yu: "..." What the hell, it's a long passage, I can't understand it.

"Anyway," Su Liao turned his head to the side and looked at Yu Yu seriously, with the concentration in his eyes when he was doing math problems, "You are the only one among so many athletes I have met who can't bring Bubbly. I think you deserve a chance to go to the provincial team."

The so-called "cutting water without air bubbles" is generally called "hydrophilicity" by coaches. It is the most difficult thing to practice in professional training. It depends on "enlightenment" rather than practice.But all the coaches who have seen Yu Yu swim will praise him more or less, "the water feels good", but this is the first time Yu Yu has heard people say that he will not bring air bubbles when he cuts the water.

He thought it was a very gentle description.

Yu Yu found that his mind was not up to scratch.If Su Liao hurt him, then Yu Yu felt that his eloquent flow of thoughts and thoughts would be enough to talk to others for three days and three nights, but Yu Yu didn't know what to say when the other party confessed so much.

If it weren't for his tanned skin, his face would be red.

What and what.

Yu Yu turned his head away, his voice stiff: "Oh. Thank you."

The two were silent for a while, and Yu Yu felt a little embarrassed.After swimming 5000 meters, Yu Yu was also a little sleepy after lying down and basking in the sun for a while. He took out a pack of Wangzai milk and two fish sausages from his bag, and handed one to Su Liao: "Here .”

But Su Liao held the fish intestines, looked at the ingredient list for a long time, and suddenly looked disgusted: "I don't eat this kind of junk food."

Yu Yu: "..." One thing to say, Wang Zai added fish sausage, that was his most extravagant snack gift pack.If it weren't for a long trip to compete, I would be reluctant to eat it.

Su Liao pointed to the list of ingredients and explained: "Look, this fat is actually more than protein."

Yu Yu snatched the fish intestines back from his hand: "Do you like to eat it or not!"

Su Liao rolled his eyes, took out a green orange from his schoolbag, broke half of it and gave it to Yu Yu.The refreshing autumn sea breeze blows in, and the sweet and sour juice bursts between the lips and teeth, rich, full, and indescribably refreshing.

It is the taste of happiness.

After eating the oranges, Su Liao looked at his watch: "It's almost time, shall we go?"

Yu Yu got up first and jumped down vigorously: "Go."

The water park is very big, and there is a long way back to the auditorium. Yu Yu licked his lips, and for the first time he took the initiative to tell people about his childhood: "My hometown, Huaxi, relies on the sea to eat the sea. It has been a place for pearl fishing since ancient times. Listen to Grandpa It is said that in the past, regardless of men, women, adults and children, people in the village could dive to a depth of more than 30 meters without taking anything in one breath, touch mussels, dig abalone, and if they were lucky, they could make a lot of money."

Su Liao turned his head and looked at him quietly.Yu Yu's nose bridge is very straight, his jaw line is particularly distinct, and his skin has a dark honey-like luster in the sun.When he was expressionless, his eyes always looked a little sleepy, but when he was focused, he carried an indescribable energy.

"From childhood to adulthood, the coach praised me the most for my talent, but in fact, when I didn't remember much, I was already swimming in the sea. My dad told me that the so-called sense of water is left in my blood by my ancestors. memory."

"My dad is a diving instructor. When I was 11 years old, he had an accident in free diving, nothing in the sea." Yu Yu's Adam's apple rolled up and down, "I won't go to the city team for training."

Su Liao's heart skipped a beat suddenly, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.Yu Yu took the initiative to say it himself, and he no longer needs to panic because he accidentally learned someone else's secret.Su Liao lowered his eyes, just listened quietly, without saying anything.

As Yu Yu walked, he said slowly: "Before, every day after school at four o'clock in the afternoon, my father would pick me up to go to the swimming pool for training. Later, no one sent me. My mother has to work overtime at night, so I can only go to grandpa's house for dinner. "

Grandpa Yu Yu lives in Wangxianyu, a small island in Huaxi City.The island is very small, there is no bridge, and there is a boat every 45 minutes at the pier.Wangxianyu is only one nautical mile away from the land, which is slightly wider than Crescent Bay in the previous competition.

In Yu Yu's memory, grandpa was a little old man with dark skin, thin body and stubborn temper.In the early days, my parents persuaded me many times, and the old man was unwilling to leave the island and move to Huaxi County, where life is more convenient.However, grandpa is very fashionable at an early age. He bought an extremely cool sea motorcycle, and it only takes 2 minutes to "swish" across the sea.

But grandpa doesn't let Yu Yu ride a motorcycle.As long as the weather permits, he will drive Yu Yu to swim across Huaxi.And he drove a sea motorcycle behind slowly to ensure the safety of the child.If Yu Yu travels all the way, grandpa will reward him with a bottle of milk.

"So, I never thought about what swimming is for. It's like eating, sleeping, and going to school. It's just a part of my life. To be honest, I never thought about being a swimmer."

Su Liao blinked: "Then what do you want to be?"

Yu Yu blurted out: "Coral conservationist."

Su Liao: "...what the hell?"

"It's about cultivating coral babies."

Su Liao: "..." As expected of you.

Yu Yu asked back: "What about you? What are you swimming for?"

"Probably..." Su Liao narrowed his eyes slightly, and said casually, "It's to remind myself that when you want to give up, hold on, maybe at any moment, you will be able to see a wider landscape."

Yu Yu: "..."

Well, look at people, this thought, this realm.If anyone had said this, Yu Yu would probably have rolled his eyes, saying that you put it here to write a Chinese composition, but put it on Su Liao...

Maybe that's what happened.

"Hey—you two—here, here!" A shout from a distance interrupted Yu Yu's train of thought.Looking up, it was Song Hao waving to them from the auditorium.

The two walked towards the No. [-] Middle School camp without continuing the previous conversation.

The pupils of No. [-] Middle School turned the auditorium into a picnic scene.Wang Pengpeng was holding a large bag of potato chips and was gnawing, his double chin kept shaking: "I said you two, it's too embarrassing, and you can't find anyone after swimming. What are you two doing, going on a sneaky date? "

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard the words.

Su Liao waved his hand and said that the coach of the provincial team was looking for him, so he was delayed for a while.

The students gathered around chattering again. Some heard that Yu Yu won the first prize but didn't see it when he received the award. Some asked why Su Liao didn't go into the water, and some asked why the provincial team would Appeared here and so on.Su Liao explained briefly, then looked at Xu Yufeng again: "Why didn't you go into the water?"

Xu Yufeng waved his hand and said that it is boring to compete alone, it is better to play the challenge group with everyone in the afternoon.

"Hey——I was caught on board by Yan Boss in the morning, but I didn't swim well." Su Liao looked around and made sure that Yan Zheng had already left with the provincial team boy, so he stretched his arms twice, " Let's go together!"

Mao Kaijie held an English book in his arms, and seemed to have memorized vocabulary all morning. When he mentioned this this time, his face turned pale: "I'm sorry, I, I, I... I have never swam in the sea before!"

Song Hao comforted him: "This sea area is very calm. I don't think it's any different from a swimming pool. Come here, let's go together."

The twin sisters were also very excited: "My friends, you can get a medal after swimming in two hours, two hours!" The other quickly added: "That is to say, you only need one-half of Yu Yuyu's speed, and you can have a medal." A small medal!"

Su Liao put his arm on Wang Pengpeng's body: "Fatty, are you together? Let's go, brother will take you for a swim."

Wang Pengpeng glanced sadly at Su Liao, then secretly at Xu Yufeng, his small eyes flicked back and forth between the two of them.In the end, Wang Xiaopang turned evil, took out a large string of Buddhist beads from his schoolbag, and shouted: "Okay! Count me in!"

Yu Yu finally asked the question he wanted to ask since the first day of school: "...Fatty, what is this prayer beads for?"

Wang Pengpeng grinned: "Bless me from drowning in the water!"

Yu Yu: "..."

Seeing that Wang Pengpeng had gone, Mao Kaijie blushed and finally put down the textbook in his hand.

In the challenge group, nearly 100 people participated.Yu Yu didn't want to wait on the shore alone, so he took a training boat.People in the Swimming Association remembered that he was Yan Zheng's student, so they regarded him as "one of our own".

Although Wang Pengpeng's base is not small, he is a very flexible and fat man in the water.Usually in school, his daily "weight loss" training also has 3000 meters.However, after 3000 meters, it was obvious that he was struggling.

Yu Yu originally thought that a person like Su Liao must be the one who yelled "Fatty, I'll cover you" on the shore, and immediately took the first place when he entered the water.He didn't expect Su Liao to do what he said, to accompany Xiaopang at the end of the whole process.

The challenge group is different from the competition group. All participants are required to bring an orange-red safety float with them.At the end of the swim, Wang Xiaopang was tired and hugged on the float, while Su Liao pulled him to swim.

Sometimes, Yu Yu thinks that Su Liao is a very typical second middle school student, with excellent capital, naturally arrogant, and has never seen the world below.However, sometimes, Yu Yu would feel that the boy who smiled like the sunshine in early summer was very different from other Second Middle School people.

Yu Yu never expected that the highlight of the competitive group was to win the championship, while the highlight of the challenge group was when the closing time was approaching.There was a girl with only one leg who completed the whole journey with a prosthetic limb. When it was nearly two hours, only Wang Pengpeng and Su Liao were left on the sea, and almost everyone was cheering for Wang Pengpeng.

Xu Yufeng and the others had already landed, chasing after the shore and shouting "Fatty".

Wang Pengpeng swam very slowly, but he kept swimming very hard until the timer showed 1 hour, 59 minutes and 28 seconds, and he crossed the pontoon bridge at the finish line.

Cheers resounded throughout the water park.

Yu Yu always felt that swimming was just a one-man competition, but at that moment, he seemed to feel something else.

"Crack-"

Xu Yufeng pressed the shutter button on the selfie stick.

Wang Pengpeng's hair was still dry, and his big face was in the middle of the camera, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, biting the small challenge success medal in his mouth.On one side of him are Xu Yufeng and Yang Hui, on the other side is Song Hao pressing his shoulders, Mao Kaijie made a "V" behind them, the twin sisters hugged each other and raised their left and right hands to show love, Su Liao clasped his hands Behind the head, while Yu Yu walked slowly with his hands in his pockets, the sunset behind him was shining brightly, Hongxia and seagulls flew together.

When the bus returned to Ninggang City, it was already dark.

It was rare for Xu Qinglan to arrive home earlier than Yu Yu: "Son, it's so late today."

Yu Yu said "um", deliberately not mentioning where he went and what he did, but only said "the school swimming team team building activities on weekends".After hearing this, Xu Qinglan was very satisfied with her son's active participation in school activities, so she didn't ask any more questions.

He didn't dare to tell his mother that he was going to race in the sea today.As soon as he and his mother mentioned swimming in the sea, Xu Qinglan became hysterical.Because of this problem, the mother and son have quarreled many times: Xu Qinglan believes that swimming in the swimming pool is safe, but swimming in the sea is very dangerous; Yu Yu believes that if you follow the rules and do a good job of safety protection, swimming in the sea is safe Yes, you have to challenge yourself to challenge the limits of human beings is the real reason for his father's accidental death.Human beings are not whales, so human beings should not take any equipment and dive to a depth of more than 100 meters underwater.

Later, Yu Yu learned to behave well, and Xia Hai never said to his mother, "Go to a classmate's house to do homework", "Go to grandpa's house for dinner", "Go out to play"-every time he has various excuses .Grandpa kept silent about it.

Yu Yu lay down on the bed after washing, couldn't help but took out his phone again, staring at the string of numbers that Su Liao sent him in a daze.

When he opened his eyes, it was Yan Zheng who asked him, "Would you like to win a national championship with me?" When he closed his eyes, the words "higher, faster and stronger" on the wall of the Huaxi City Swimming Pool appeared in his mind. It's like blood spray paint on the walls of a horror game.

But at this moment, the mobile phone beeped one after another, and it vibrated into an alarm clock.When Yu Yu came back to his senses, he realized that it was Su Liao who sent him a lot of messages one after another, all of which were orca emojis.

Before, when Su Liao first added Yu Yu as a friend, he asked him about the source of the picture of the little killer whale.

The source is a Weibo painter who once became popular because of a set of little penguin emojis, and has since drawn a lot of marine life.Su Liao sent him now, all of which were the artist's little killer whales.

Yu Yu replied with an emoji that said "the shark took two kitchen knives" with the words "shark thing".Unexpectedly, Su Liao replied in seconds with a moving picture of Jerry tiptoeing and blowing infinite kisses in "Tom and Jerry".

Yu Yu: ...

This makes it difficult.

His thumb froze on the phone screen for a long time, and he replied: Don't be fussy in the middle of the night.

Soon, WeChat showed that Su Liao had withdrawn that Jerry's emoji.

Little killer whale: It’s useless to withdraw, I’ve seen it

Su Liao replied: It was my sister just now

Little Orca: Is your sister your professional backer?

Make up a silly pen: It's really my sister

Silly pen: She is only nine years old, and she is not allowed to touch electronic products at home. Only when I am at home on weekends, can she play with them

Make a silly pen: My WeChat name and profile picture are both chosen by her

As he said that, Su Liao flicked a picture of his younger sister staring pitifully at the phone, lying in his arms, the kind of person reaching out to grab the phone.

Silly pen: My sister said she likes the set of little killer whales very much

Make a silly pen: I want to send other little killer whales to my brother whose profile picture is a little killer whale

Make a silly pen: I let her tell you by herself

Soon, Su Liao sent a short voice.I only heard a milky and soft voice, very softly: "Hello, little killer whale brother."

Yu Yu: "..."

He originally wanted to hurt Su Liao a few words, but now he was attacked by cuteness, and his whole body melted.

Make up a silly pen: Hahahahaha, the little kid ran away after finishing speaking

Little Killer Whale: Relying on your sister is so sweet

Make up a silly pen: What do you mean?

Make a silly pen: I am also very sweet

Make up a silly pen: Why do you never praise me for being sweet?

Little killer whale: You seem to have some serious illness

Make a silly pen: high blood sugar?

Yu Yu was too lazy to talk to such a brazen person, turned back the record, and clicked on the photo of Su Liao's younger sister.The little girl's eyes are really big, her eyelashes are long and curled like a doll like Su Liao's, but her face is very round, her nose is a bit sunken, and her hair is a little yellow, but Su Liao's hair is very black, her nose is very straight, and her face is narrow and long. I don't know if it's because the child hasn't opened his eyes yet, but the two of them can't tell that they are brother and sister at all.

After a while, Yu Yu replied: Why does your sister look nothing like you?

Su Liao didn't know if he coaxed his sister to go, but he didn't reply for a long time.After a long time, he asked back: Have you contacted Yan Zheng?

The author has something to say: Thanks for your support, bow.
