In the end, of course, the matter concluded with Zhen Hong being scolded and then comforted with heartache.

Of course, the benefit of this incident was that everyone discovered Zhen Hong's swimming talent.

Therefore, the Zhen family even made a special request to have Zhen Hong checked by a coach to see if she was suitable for learning to swim.

The person who was in charge of arranging Zhen Hong's marriage was a very famous sports coach in H City, who was said to be an athlete who had retired from the national second team.

After watching the video, it was confirmed that Zhen Hong had a talent for swimming. His family then spent a lot of money to help him swim from the sports school all the way to the provincial team. During this process, Zhen Hong had a smooth journey and never suffered any setbacks. Until he was admitted to the national team, all the setbacks and frustrations he experienced were concentrated in those three years.

"You saved me even when you couldn't swim, which showed your talent. Brother, you were born to be in the water."

Zhen Tian's words pulled Ji Yuzhi back to reality. He moved the corner of his mouth slightly.

"I used to think that way too." He had been proud of saving Tian Tian for many years, even though he was still scared afterward, and even though he felt like crying the few times he choked on water. But when he thought of his sister's life hanging in the balance, he felt like he could keep going.

"It's the same now. Brother, don't be afraid." A tear slid down Zhen Tian's cheek.

"No, brother is very scared." Zhen Hong gave a bitter smile, which made Zhen Tian even more upset.

"If you're afraid, give up now."

Ji Yuzhi couldn't bear to see Zhen Tian cry, so he suddenly spoke up, which disrupted Zhen Hong's emotions.

"Ji Yuzhi, what are you doing here?"

"We're in the car getting ready to go eat." Ji Yuzhi's voice was cold and hard: "Isn't it shameful for a man to be so timid and hesitant? You want your sister to suffer because of such a simple choice?"

"If you're afraid, don't go; if you go, fight with all your might."

Zhen Hong was furious at Ji Yuzhi's words: "What's it to you if I'm on the phone with my sister?"

That's my girlfriend!

Zhen Hong was so angry that she choked for a moment, but her voice became more energetic: "What's wrong with your girlfriend? She's my own sister!"

"I can stay with her for the rest of my life."

Zhen Hong: "..."

Zhen Hong had nothing to say, because he was so angry that he patted his chest for a long time.

"You...you...you..."

"Just one." Zhen Tian tugged at Ji Yuzhi's sleeve, signaling him not to be too harsh.

Ji Yuzhi tapped the steering wheel and scoffed.

This made Zhen Hong even more furious: "Ji Yuzhi, you wait, you wait until I finish my exam tomorrow and I'll go home and kill you."

"Okay, I'll be waiting."

"Little sister, you have to be careful of this man, he's not a good person." Zhen Hong wanted to say something to Zhen Tian, ​​but Ji Yuzhi reached out and took the phone away.

"Hang up."

Ji Yuzhi tapped the screen lightly, and the call ended.

Zhen Hong listened to the beeping sound, still a little incredulous.

"Damn it, Ji Yuzhi!" He kicked the athletes' locker in the changing room.

Even after his anger subsided, Ji Yuzhi's words kept echoing in his mind.

"If you're afraid, don't go; if you go, fight with all your might."

Zhen Hong snorted. So be it. Whether he lives or dies is up to tomorrow.

"Hey, Lao Zhen, where are you going?" The other athletes called out to him as he put on his clothes and walked out.

"Go back to sleep."

"Didn't you say you wanted to practice some more?"

"Practice my ass, go to sleep."

...

"Zhizhi, your brother is sad. It's not good to hang up." Zhen Tian's tears had already evaporated, but there was still a redness in the corners of her eyes.

"He's just whining without reason, ignore him."

Ji Yuzhi turned around and arrived at the hot pot restaurant.

"Get off the bus and have some food."

"Oh." Zhen Tian was led into the hot pot restaurant by Ji Yuzhi.

She randomly clicked a bunch of buttons.

"That's enough, you can't finish it."

"But I want to eat them all..." Zhen Tian blinked her eyes, looking at her innocently.

"You order," Ji Yuzhi said, a headache forming in his head.

She toned it down a bit, ordering everything she wanted most, saving her second favorite for next time. Finally, she ordered a bowl of ice jelly.

"Didn't you just drink iced milk?"

"Iced jelly and iced milk are not the same thing." Zhen Tian blinked her eyes again.

"Don't blink. You can only drink a little."

Ji Yuzhi compromised again.

"OK."

After Zhen Tian fed and drank her fill, she began to feel drowsy when she got into the car.

Ji Yuzhi almost laughed herself to death at her. She really was just like a child; what difference was there between her and those other kids who got sleepy as soon as they had fun?

The car drove smoothly the whole way, and Zhen Tian was still asleep when they got home.

He carried Zhen Tian and slowly walked upstairs.

Zhen Tian, ​​who was still sleepy, couldn't fall asleep as soon as she got into bed.

She opened her eyes and saw Ji Yuzhi kneeling on one knee by the bed taking off her shoes.

"Zhizhi..." she called out to him in a daze.

"Did I wake you up? Go back to sleep." He tucked Zhen Tian's legs into the blanket as well.

"I'm not going to sleep anymore, I want to take a shower." Zhen Tian tossed and turned in bed for a couple of minutes before sitting up.

"Go ahead, I have something to tell you after you're done washing up."

"Tell me now, or I'll start to get anxious."

"It's nothing serious, go take a shower."

Even though he said that, Zhen Tian still quickly rushed out.

When she came out, Ji Yuzhi hadn't come out yet. She was sitting in front of the dressing table, drying her hair.

"Zhizhi." As soon as the door opened, Zhen Tian rushed over without even drying her hair: "What do you want to tell me?"

"I already told you it's not a big deal." Ji Yuzhi chuckled and tapped her head. "Go and dry your hair, I'll tell you slowly."

"Okay." Zhen Tian sat back down, afraid she wouldn't be able to hear Ji Yuzhi's voice, and turned the hair dryer to the lowest setting.

"I'm going to Shanghai in a while. Someone contacted the studio today to participate in the translation work for the security dialogue meeting."

"Diplomacy?" Zhen Tian's mouth dropped open.

"right."

"It can't be the one I'm thinking of, can it..."

"Um."

"Ahhh, Zhizhi, you're amazing!" Zhen Tian tossed the blower aside and jumped excitedly onto him. "That's...that's..."

This is a nationally important conference.

"Shh." Ji Yuzhi placed his index finger on her lips and said to himself, "I'll probably be staying at the studio for the next week; there's so much to prepare. I'm going to Haishi after a week. I probably won't be able to take care of you for a while."

“It’s okay, it’s okay, I can take care of myself,” Zhen Tian said immediately, her eyes sparkling.

"And because of the nature of this job, I can't take you with me."

"It's okay, it's okay. I don't want to go. I'll watch you on TV."

"It shouldn't take too long. The meeting is only three days long, and I'll be back soon."

"Mmm, I understand."

Ji Yuzhi was speechless for the first time. Zhen Tian's antics left him completely blank and he didn't even know what to say.
