When Tang Yibai found Coach Brown, Coach Brown told him, "Tang, you can play with Beatr in the afternoon, and I will cheer you on."
Tang Yibai nodded lightly, "Okay, thank you."
Coach Brown never hides his preference for him. Seeing him look sparse at the moment, Coach Brown is a little puzzled. In the past few days in contact with Tang Yibai, Coach Brown believes that this young man has a good mentality and will never be worried or frustrated by the strength of his opponent.
It may be due to the limited entertainment life of the athletes, the friendly match between Tang Yibai and Beyatt shocked most of the club, many people came to watch, the girls were divided into two parts, one group cheered Beate, the other Standing on Tang Yibai's side. If you only look at the personal best results, Beate is ahead, but this lead is less than 0.1 second, which does not explain the problem. Besides, men from the East always have a sense of mystery, the girls also like him, and Coach Brown also likes him... The combination of all the things that have nothing to do with the game itself makes Tang Yibai's approval rate even higher than that of Beate. flat.
Qi Ruifeng led a group of people to shout his name behind Tang Yibai: "Tang Yibai! Tang Yibai! Tang Yibai!"
That is, Tang Yibai, a long-time base friend, can work as Qi Ruifeng's driver and be a cheerleader in person. The girls and boys around him shouted and quickly learned the full name of Tang Yibai. Later, many of them recalled that the first Chinese sentence they learned was not "hello" or "thank you", but "Tang Yibai".
Tang Yibai stood on the starting platform, looked at the fluctuating water surface in the swimming pool, took a few deep breaths, and picked up his messy mood. Well, it's time to play. Although an inconsequential game.
As soon as the gun was fired, both of them quickly jumped into the water with a reaction that surprised ordinary people. After Tang Yibai entered the water, he did not feel the nervousness and violent heartbeat of the previous competition. His mood was a little messy, and he couldn't take it back no matter what.
Coach Brown stood beside Qi Ruifeng, shook his head and sighed, and said to Qi Ruifeng, "Tang's condition is not good, he should start faster than Beate."
Qi Ruifeng: "???"
Coach Brown: "… "
The two stared at each other for a while, Qi Ruifeng finally smiled and nodded at Coach Brown, and then continued: "Tang Yibai! Tang Yibai! Tang Yibai!"
Coach Brown:==
In fact, the national team hired a local translator for Qi Ruifeng and the others, but the translator is not present now. Originally, Coach Brown wanted to analyze it with Qi Ruifeng, the world champion, and now he can only be alone and lonely.
Coach Brown expected it well. Tang Yibai was indeed not in good condition. In the end, Beyatt won the game by a large margin, with a score of 47.82 seconds, almost setting his best result this year. However, Tang Yibai only swam 48.30 seconds, which was a bit different from his current normal level.
Qi Ruifeng pulled him up from the water.
After landing, Tang Yibai wiped his face, his face a little gloomy. Beatr came over, as a winner, seeing Tang Yibai's depressed face, he was so proud in his heart, just about to taunt, Tang Yibai stretched out his right hand to him.
Beatr was stunned.
Tang Yibai was a little impatient, and took the initiative to shake his hand, "Congratulations, you did a great job." Then he turned and left without waiting for his response.
It's very basic competitive etiquette, Tang Yibai does this without thinking, but such a simple behavior won him applause.
Qi Ruifeng followed and asked him worriedly, "Are you alright? Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs, don't worry too much."
Qi Ruifeng is so powerful in classical Chinese that he can count it in one slap. "Winning or losing is a common thing in military affairs" is one of them. When he sacrificed this sentence to comfort others, it almost represented the highest level of concern for this genius. .
Tang Yibai shook his head. He didn't care about winning or losing, but... He was in a really bad mood.
Coach Brown explained the training tasks, and then stopped Tang Yibai, "Tang, let's talk."
"Um."
Tang Yibai's English listening and speaking skills are also half-hearted. A simple sentence or two is fine. If there is more, he needs to slow down his speech and occasionally resort to a dictionary. Anyway, it is convenient to have this software installed in the mobile phone.
Coach Brown said, "Don, you're a very talented athlete, but your training has been inconsistent for a while. Do you know why?"
"why?"
"You're not focused enough."
Tang Yibai was silent.
Coach Brown continued, "You know better than me that athletes need to be 100 percent focused, not the slightest bit of slack. And yet you're not focused enough. I'd love to know why."
There are some things that I can't say to my good friends, my parents, and my dear old coach, but to this coach who I've known for less than a month, Tang Yibai said without any pressure, "I I like a girl."
Coach Brown smiled, "Is that Angelina?"
"No, it's a Chinese girl. We've known each other for eight months, but," Tang Yibai's expression darkened, "she went to the Aegean Sea with other men to watch the sunset."
"Are you sad about this?"
He nodded.
Coach Brown shook his head and said, "Son, you still don't understand what your real trouble is... Are you going to date her?"
Tang Yibai pursed his lips, "I don't know if she will accept it."
"Tang, I heard that your Chinese coaches don't allow athletes to fall in love."
"Yes, worry about affecting training. Coach, are you going to do the same?"
Coach Brown shook his head with a smile, his short brown hair swayed slightly, and his eyes were light blue, as deep as the sea, revealing a wise light. "I'm not going to interfere in other people's personal affairs," he said. "But I have a piece of advice. If you just want to be an average athlete, you can go after what you love, but if you want to be a great, accomplished athlete Athlete, Tang, my opinion is the same as your coach in China, you need to be absolutely focused. Being in a relationship can distract you from being 100% focused. I know you are ambitious and you want to be World champion, I think the right thing to do before you become a world champion is to put your sweetheart aside."
Tang Yibai lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Coach Brown patted him on the shoulder, "You know, you are like a person born for water. Although your body proportions are not perfect, your water sense is very good, and you are like an elf in the water. Besides, you are smarter than them," he pointed to a few athletes in the pool not far away, "you are smarter than them combined. Do you know how rare this is? You also have excellent psychological adjustment ability. ... Don, I've brought out two world champions, and I'm sure you'll be the third."
Tang Yibai's eyebrows moved slightly, he looked at Coach Brown, and there were shallow waves in his eyes.
At the beginning of August, most of China has entered the stove mode, the difference is that some places are roasting, and some places are steaming. City B has been going for several days of sauna days. Many people are hiding in air-conditioned rooms, and they are sweating almost as long as they move outdoors.
Yun Duo took a day off and went to the airport to meet Tang Yibai, who had returned from his foreign training. As for Qi Ruifeng, it is buy one get one free.
In fact, she also bought one get one free here - her younger brother Lin Zi had to go with her.
Considering that Tang Yibai also likes to be high-profile, Yun Duo brought two cards in his hand, just one for each person. Lin Zi mentioned the "Qi Ruifeng will rule the rivers and lakes for thousands of years" that she made two months ago, and Yun Duo made a bigger one by herself, and wrote the eight characters "Bai Tiao in the waves, who will compete with each other". Originally, Lin Zi suggested to write "Bai Tiao in the waves, No. 1 in the world", but Yun Duo was quite confident in his language level, so he resolutely did not adopt it.
She wore a lake blue knee-length dress today. The fabric was light, which made her skin better than snow and had a smart temperament. Her hair was pulled up loosely and her forehead was exposed, which seemed to be more mature... Even Lin Zi said she looked good in this outfit, so she felt very satisfied.
Thinking about it, I haven't seen Tang Yibai for two months. The Internet has narrowed the distance between people. She often chatted with him, but he gradually became busy and his words became less. In any case, typing 10,000 words on a mobile phone cannot replace a word spoken in person.
Yun Duo and Lin Zi, two handsome men and beauties, stopped at the airport and caught everyone's attention. Some people thought they were celebrities asking for autographs. Lin Zi always refused to come, and signed her name. Yun Duo was not as thick-skinned as him. She smiled and explained to people that they were not stars.
After waiting at the airport for a while, Yun Duo felt that something was wrong, "Why are there so few fans today?"
Lin Zi replied, "You are too reserved, there are only two fans here."
"Strange, what about the others?"
"I guess their schedule should not be made public, so fans don't know."
"what… "
The two foolishly stood together holding a huge hand of cards, like an island in the sea. It's okay to be a brainless fan in a group of people, if there are only two people, how to look at it is different. Yun Duo quickly put away the cards and waited in a low-key manner.
Tang Yibai saw clouds as soon as he came out. She was wearing a beautiful dress with her hair pulled back, and she looked slim, like a blooming blue lotus on the lake. He stared at her blankly, as if his eyes were glued to her. Unconsciously, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little.
Qi Ruifeng touched Tang Yibai's arm, "Hey, isn't that Yun Duo?"
Tang Yibai didn't speak, and walked towards the clouds with his long legs.
Yun Duo smiled and waved at them, "Hi!"
After not seeing him for a long time, Tang Yibai's complexion was indeed tanned, but it was not enough to become Tang Yihei. His skin color is slightly darker than wheat color now, and his facial features are three-dimensional, perhaps because of his skin color, and his eyes are brighter.
Tang Yibai's lips moved, but he only called her name, "Yun Duo."
Qi Ruifeng nodded and glanced at Yun Duo rewardingly, "It seems that you are fairly loyal to me."
Both of them ignored Lin Zi. Tang Yibai ignored him because he didn't want to ignore him, and Qi Ruifeng ignored him because he felt that since Lin Zi was Yun Duo's little follower, and Yun Duo was his loyal fan, then Lin Zi was not worth mentioning in his opinion.
Tang Yibai looked at the clouds quietly, she was really beautiful today. The round neck of the dress is not too small or not, and it is close to the snow-white skin, revealing the delicate collarbone. The bangs were combed up, revealing a smooth forehead. There were still some fine and uncombable hair on the hairline, which was playfully attached to the forehead. His eyes were lightly drawn on her face, and his eyes were even greedy. However, when she and Qi Ruifeng finished talking and looked at him, he hurriedly lowered his eyes and covered his eyes.
A deep sense of loss suddenly surged in his heart, as stubborn as smog.
"Let's go." Tang Yibai said, pulling the suitcase and leaving first, without looking at Yun Duo again.
Yun Duo was a little overwhelmed, she stood there staring blankly at his back and said to herself, "Is it because I'm not dressed plain enough..." She was so stupid, how could she forget the most important point!
Standing beside her, her loyal little brother heard her muttering to himself, and he said, "No."
Yun Duo was refreshed and looked at him, waiting for his reasonable explanation.
He said, "Because he doesn't like you"
