But those devilish words of Shi Guang did not cause Lu Yanchen’s temper to go down as he gave a cold stifle instead, “Shi Littly, your guts are truly getting bigger now eh?”
Shi Guang pouted her lips . “Can’t even compliment you . Let’s not talk anymore . ”
With that, she acted as though she was going to hang up on the call .
His face turned colder . “Try hanging up . ”
Shi Guang played with her hair before smiling brightly . “Since you can’t bear to lose me that much, I guess I’ll just have to force myself to chat with you a little longer . ”
“But, I don’t wish to talk to you anymore . ” His lips curled playfully .
Shi Guang’s eyes widened slowly and glared at him coldly . “Lu Yanchen!”
“Sleep earlier . ”
“I wish to as well . But, there’s an Old Jealous King around . ”
“Old what?” His voice was threatening .
“Old… Old… Old…” Shi Guang’s eyes rolled around . With her sharp mind, she smirked out before calling out dearly, “Old Dear…” But the next second, she added yet another word to it, “Grandpa . Haha…! Old Dear Grandpa! Your leg’s got to hurry up and recover alright, Old Dear Grandpa?”
“You’re looking down on me for being old?” His tone was both gentle and dangerous . “Am I not satisfying you enough?”
Shi Guang blinked her eyes and looked at the side at Lin Qiqi who was playing on her computer . Instantly, she lowered her volume in a hushed tone, “S-Stop talking about that when you’re unhappy!”
“But, that’s what you like the most . ”
“Who likes it! Not talking to you anymore! Goodnight!”
“Smelly girl!” Too cocky and brazen! She’d watch how he’d take care of her in the future .
The two of them chatted for a long time such that it was really late . Because she had training early the next day, she had to hang up no matter how reluctant she was .
For the next couple of days, Shi Guang would always converse on the phone with Lu Yanchen after training—video calls at times .
Time passed by really quickly, and before long, the training was over, and it was time for the National Swimming Championships .
The National Swimming Championships were organized by the swimming department of the Ministry of Sports, and were to be held on a rotation basis in provinces nationwide . This year, it was the Z Province’s turn to organize it . This was one of the highest tiered swimming competitions in the entire country, and the entire duration lasted for 7 days .
A week before the competition, all of the swimmers had their phones confiscated by their coaches, and they could only stay in the provincial team dorms with a tight schedule day in and out, consisting of merely resting or training—it was all for the purpose of ensuring that they were in their best condition .
The first event of the National Swimming Championships was a 4 x 100m Female Mixed Relay .
Because it was starting right after the commencement ceremony, there were many media reporters present .
Shi Guang and Lin Qiqi were a part of this event as well; and since it was held right in their province, the regional press put additional emphasis on the both of them .
Head Coach Li said, “You guys must remember that coordination is key . You must adjust your mentality beforehand and push yourself hard at the last 50m . Since it’s being held in our province this year, for the first event, even if you guys do not get the 1st place, we must vie for the top 3 . Once we get to the top 3, I’ll treat everyone to hotpot tonight . ”
The sound of hotpot had Lin Qiqi and the two other girls drooling . Even Shi Guang was the same .
There was no choice . Due to the recent stringent requirements on their diets, all of their meals were really bland, even if they were nutritious . Because the weather was getting colder as well, the sound of hotpot was truly seductive .
The 4 x 100m Mixed Relay went in the order of backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle .
