As a guy with no experience in love, after Cui Luoheng confessed his love and was accepted, he suddenly didn't know what else to do except hug Su Bai in his arms.

After their identities changed from "coach" and "athlete" to "lovers", Cui Luoheng was excited at first, but after hugging Su Bai contentedly, before Cui Luoheng could figure out what "inappropriate thoughts lovers can have" in his mind, Su Bai slapped his hand away.

Cui Luoheng looked at Su Bai in his arms in a daze: "...Xiaobai, what's wrong?"

If outsiders saw him looking silly, no one would have thought that this confused guy would be the invincible hurdles king of the new generation in China.

Su Bai glanced at Cui Luoheng's confused face and said with a smile: "It's getting late, it's time to go to bed. We have to get up early tomorrow."

ah?

Are we going back to rest now?

Cui Luoheng was just about to say that his race was over, then he remembered that there was indeed another very important event for the 400m sprint team tomorrow - the preliminaries of the men's 4x400m sprint relay.

As the head coach of the 400-meter sprint event, although Su Bai no longer needs to conduct any pre-match training at this stage, he still has to get up early and keep up with various news at any time.

Moreover, as the backbone of the national team's 400-meter sprint event, Su Bai's presence, even if it's just to say a few words to the players, is enough to calm them down.

Thinking of this, Cui Luoheng felt a little regretful. He should not have confessed his feelings so hastily tonight. He should have waited until the Olympics were over before considering these issues.

Su Bai saw Cui Luoheng's slightly regretful look, raised his hand and rubbed the top of his head, then walked him out of the room.

When Su Bai had said goodbye to him and was standing outside the door waiting to see him off, Cui Luoheng suddenly remembered that Su Bai had already accepted his confession, so could he at least have a...goodnight kiss?

When this thought flashed through his mind, Cui Luoheng's instinctive actions were much faster than the thoughts in his mind. He looked at Su Bai, moved slightly closer to him, and then gently kissed Su Bai on the cheek.

After Cui Luoheng realized what he had done, his face turned red again, but he still said "good night" to Su Bai seriously amidst the chaotic pounding of his heart and the nervousness.

After watching Cui Luoheng walk away stiffly with his hands and feet trembling, Su Bai raised his hand and touched his cheek, his eyes filled with a smile that he himself was not aware of.

Although it is the competition period, the athletes still maintain their daily routines. Early the next morning, the track and field team members in the China Building of the Olympic Village finished their meal in the restaurant in the building.

Today is August 6th, the third-to-last day of the Olympic Games and track and field schedule. The men's 50km race walking event started at 5:30 this morning, while the women's 20km race walking event started at 4:30 in the afternoon. In the evening, it was the men's 4x400m sprint relay preliminaries.

In the long-distance race walking events, the Chinese team still has strong strength. In these two events, the Chinese team has full participation. However, in detail, in the men's 50km race walking event, although the Chinese team has the opportunity to compete for medals, it is still difficult to win medals. The situation is different in the women's 20km race walking.

At the last Rio Olympics, China's women's 20km race walking won one gold and one bronze, contributing greatly to the medal tally of 2 gold, 2 silver and 2 bronze in track and field events that year.

Not to mention last year's World Championships, when three national flags were raised simultaneously at the award ceremony for the champion, runner-up and third place. This soul-stirring scene still makes one's heart race no matter how many times one sees it.

When Su Bai came to the restaurant in the morning, unlike usual times, he was not alone, but was accompanied by Cui Luoheng.

However, everyone around did not think there was anything wrong with Cui Luoheng following Su Bai. After all, many people who came to the restaurant to eat came in groups of three or four. Only Cui Luoheng's roommate Lu Mengfan looked at Cui Luoheng who was following Su Bai with a somewhat subtle look.

after all……

As his roommate during the Olympics, he witnessed Cui Luoheng going out and coming back at strange times last night, and saw him leave the room early in the morning.

Lu Mengfan looked at his roommate who was following Su Bai seriously, and his expression was a bit complicated - although the way Su Bai and Ah Heng got along was no different from usual, but, probably, these two were together.

Ah Heng has been the team member trained by Su Bai in the past two years. Logically speaking, he should call Su Bai "Master".

…

=. =

Well, given Ah Heng's current situation, should he call me Master's Wife?

In the restaurant, apart from Lu Mengfan who saw through everything due to his identity as a roommate, only Wang Shen noticed that Cui Luoheng's state changed subtly when he followed Su Bai.

When the rest of the people saw the two people appear, they just smiled and greeted them in a normal way. By the way, some people who didn't talk to Cui Luoheng yesterday congratulated him again today.

In a corner of the restaurant, several members of the 400-meter sprint relay team were sitting together, finishing their breakfast. When they saw Su Bai, they greeted Su Bai and Cui Luoheng from a distance.

Qiu Wen was of course among them. He was eating happily at the moment. After all, his physical energy consumption in the final the night before and the semi-final before that was completely beyond his expectations. However, based on his abnormal physical recovery ability, after a full night's sleep, his condition was much better today.

Before tonight's game, all he needs to do is rest as much as possible and adjust his condition, and then try his best to run well in tonight's game.

Among the team members, Zhang Jiale should be the most nervous one.

After all, he has the least experience in the relay team. Guo Dun in the relay team was originally his predecessor. If he was not there, Guo Dun would definitely have to go to the Olympics. However, Su Bai has already decided that in today's 400m relay preliminaries, he, Zhang Ziyi, Qiu Wen and Li Junhao will be on the list.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jiale was a little absent-minded when he greeted him. It was only when Guo Dun, who was sitting next to him, patted him on the shoulder that he came to his senses.

Su Bai and Cui Luoheng were still getting breakfast. At the relay team's table, Guo Dun first comforted Zhang Jiale.

"Since Coach Su Bai chose you, he must have his reasons. Don't think too much. I am already very happy to be able to come and see the Olympic Games. Although I am not a regular player in the competition, I am also an indispensable member of the team as a reserve player."

Guo Dun looked at Zhang Jiale, who still had a serious expression, and said with a smile: "You really should not think too much. Play well and get a good result with your teammates. This is what I hope you can do."

At the dinner table, everyone had advised Zhang Jiale more or less over the past few days, but when the day of the competition came, Zhang Jiale's psychological pressure seemed to be even greater, so Guo Dun advised him again.

Zhang Jiale heard this and nodded. Although he was still a little nervous, he knew in his heart that, just as Guo Dun said, only if he competed seriously and achieved good results with his teammates could he be worthy of the relay seat that originally belonged to Guo Dun.

Su Bai, who was standing not far away, actually also noticed the nervousness and pressure of Zhang Jiale in the relay team. He deliberately did not get close to solve the matter alone.

The members of the relay team need to understand and have a tacit understanding with each other. They need to trust their teammates and also need to be able to work hard for their teammates.

Zhang Ziyi was originally the core of the relay team. All the relay team members gathered around Zhang Ziyi. After a long period of cooperation and training, they have developed their own tacit understanding, which allows them to combine their strengths into one on the field.

However, it is also realistic that there needs to be trust and tacit understanding between the members of the relay team, but the members of the relay team cannot remain unchanged.

Perhaps, the relay team used to be maintained by a few fixed members for a long time because of the shortage of talents in the 400-meter sprint event in the country, but Su Bai knew that as time went by, it was like now.

There are already new 400-meter sprinters who are gradually surpassing the original veteran team members in strength.

In this situation, the team's alternation of old and new members, the constant change of team members, etc., all require members to be able to adapt and run in quickly.

This time, Zhang Jiale’s incident is just a beginning, and it will definitely not be an end.

When Su Bai got his meal and sat down to eat, he used his peripheral vision to pay attention to the direction of the relay team. He also called up the status data of several people from the system. He saw that except for Qiu Wen and Zhang Ziyi who were still a little lacking in physical fitness, the others were in good condition. Su Bai was generally relieved.

In the evening, Su Bai and the national team arrived at the Tokyo Olympic Stadium again. This time, Cui Luoheng still followed Su Bai steadily throughout the whole process. Pei Jinan looked at Cui Luoheng's serious and enthusiastic appearance, and guessed the result in his heart.

Before the evening race officially started, Su Bai and his group watched the live broadcast of the last leg of the women's 20km race walk, and saw with their own eyes the athletes, led by the girls from the Chinese team, crossing the finish line one after another.

The Chinese women's 20km race walkers lived up to expectations and won one gold and one silver for the Chinese team in this competition. Another contestant was originally ranked third, but had an accident in the last section of the journey and was tactically overtaken by the contestant behind her. In the end, she only unfortunately got fourth place.

Although they failed to repeat the miracle of sweeping the gold, silver and bronze medals at the Olympics, no one can doubt the strength of the Chinese women's 20km race walking.
