The conversation between Shi Guang and Lin Qiqi was naturally heard by Liu Yanli and Li Xuejing, both of whom could only grit their teeth and swallow it down despite how salty they felt.
Lin Qiqi stuck her tongue out and made faces at them while Shi Guang couldn’t be bothered as she checked her phone again.
Looking at how Shi Guang had been checking on her phone consistently—even to the extent of being distracted while having her meals—Lin Qiqi asked,
What’s wrong? Why are you always looking at your phone? Are you expecting a call from your hubby?
N-No! Just surfing Weibo…
Shi Guang chuckled out,
Don’t seem to have much comments or likes.
Lin Qiqi’s forehead creased with black lines as she took out her phone and opened her own Weibo.
Waving it in front of Shi Guang, she remarked enviously,
… THIS is having no comments and likes. Yours? No way near it at all!
Shi Guang:
…
She was secretly referring to Lu Yanchen.
That morning, she had made a post saying that she was headed to the Blue Seas for training—no reply.
After training resumed, she made a status update post and watched her phone keenly—no reply.
<Only Wish To Eat Ice Cream> had been online. However, that account made no comments or likes.
In the past, he would usually reply in some sense. But with nothing now, was he truly angry?
To get angry over something that small… Shi Guang was even angrier >:(
…
The next day, Shi Guang resumed her water training for the first time in over a month. The moment her body was enveloped by the waters, she felt as though she was a bird that had finally been released from its cage, attaining that long-lost freedom to fly freely in the skies. It was an elation and enthusiasm that was impossible to describe.
In the past, Shi Guang had truly loved the waters. However, as her training intensified, she would feel irked at times, and did not really feel like entering the waters.
It was the same with every other thing in life—a stagnant routine would cause one to grow tiresome of it.
But at the end of the day, no matter how tired she was of it, no matter how reluctant she was at times, swimming was still something she couldn’t do without in her life.
If there ever came a day when she could no longer swim, she felt that she would not be able to truly feel her existence in this world any longer.
After more than a month, Shi Guang’s physical condition had naturally dipped. Despite her being extremely fervent in her swimming, the end results were still less than stellar.
Of course, Zhang Shulin was hopping mad as he scolded and berated the entire time beside the pool.
Lin Qiqi, who had been envious of Shi Guang only recently, was now gaping wide open.
Her coach was always soft and gentle toward her and guiding her with nice words. That was totally unlike Zhang Shulin, who despite being nice usually, was actually more like a Tarzan that was going wild during training.
At the end of it all, he even threw a kickboard into the waters.
Even though it wasn’t aimed at Shi Guang, the way he looked when he was frenzied had Lin Qiqi so frightened that she could almost faint over.
At that moment, she admired Shi Guang more than ever—to think that she would be able to swim over to the kickboard calmly before placing it onto the ground.
Zhang Shulin glared at her.
What did you pick it up for! Additional training with the kickboard! If you can’t get back to your form after a week, even more additional training next week!
With that, he left in a huff.
Lin Qiqi huffed out a sigh of relief before swimming over beside Shi Guang.
That was scary! Is Coach Zhang always like that usually?
Shi Guang smiled calmly.
It’s because I’ve been too slack recently, and hence my form’s dipped a little too much. A little longer and I’d be rendered useless! That’s why coach was so angry earlier on.
Lin Qiqi expressed nervously still,
I finally understand why you have all those gold-like health products!
Shi Guang:
