1008
Many people have become accustomed to He Tiantian's unconventional ways, while also marveling at her achievements.
The current swimming team has high hopes for He Tiantian.
Xie Feifei is the best freestyle swimmer in the city and has also signed up for next month's competition. She was originally highly regarded by the city's leaders, but now that a formidable woman has arrived, people often compare her to He Tiantian.
A week before the competition, Xie Feifei finally couldn't hold back any longer and found He Tiantian in the locker room, wanting to compete against her.
"Hello, can I compare with you?" Xie Feifei said. She was a typical tall girl, probably 1.75 meters tall, with long legs and feet.
Standing in front of He Tiantian, he actually made He Tiantian look particularly short.
He Tiantian smiled and said, "We'll be participating in the competition together soon, so the competition will be the same."
He Tiantian refused; practice was already over, and she didn't want to add extra training for herself.
"You think I'm no match for you?" Xie Feifei frowned. "Not worth a fight with?"
"Huh?" He Tiantian was taken aback, then smiled. "No, don't overthink it. It's time for me to go home. Besides, you're a very talented and hardworking athlete. Coach Xia often praises you. Let's work hard together."
He Tiantian had already changed her clothes. Her hair was loose and a little damp. She was wearing a white T-shirt, tight jeans, and white sneakers.
Clean and refreshing.
"Okay." Xie Feifei said somewhat disappointedly, "Then see you on the field."
"Okay, see you at the competition." He Tiantian smiled, picked up her things and was about to leave. She was going to take her clothes back to wash.
He Tiantian was about to leave when Xie Feifei suddenly said, "Wait."
"What's wrong?" He Tiantian smiled and turned her head. These were all young people who were seventeen or eighteen years old. In her eyes, they were just like her students, like children. So she treated these children as kindly as possible.
Xie Feifei thought for a moment and said, "You have to be careful. Jiao Lihong used to be best at breaststroke, but since you came, you've surpassed her performance. I'm a straightforward person, so I challenge you directly, but Jiao Lihong is different."
There used to be someone who did better than Jiao Lihong, but she bullied him and drove him away, which was a real shame.
Xie Feifei meant no harm to He Tiantian. Seeing how easy He Tiantian was to get along with, she couldn't help but want to remind her to avoid her suffering.
He Tiantian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention."
Regardless of Xie Feifei's motives for saying these things, she still wanted to thank Xie Feifei.
Xie Feifei scratched her head and said, "It's good that you didn't accuse me of spreading rumors. As for the truth, you'll find out later. Anyway, I would never lie."
"Hehe." He Tiantian chuckled. This girl was indeed straightforward and direct.
On the way back, He Tiantian told Cui Ying and Wei Yuanyuan about this.
Wei Yuanyuan said softly, "There was a girl who would come over and watch you every time you practiced breaststroke. Her eyes were a bit unfriendly. I looked her up, and that girl's name is indeed Jiao Lihong. She is the niece of Director Jiao of the National Sports Bureau. She had bullied a female athlete before, but Jiao Lihong only let the girl go after that girl started practicing butterfly."
"Heh, at such a young age, she's already thinking about using underhanded methods. How far can she go?" He Tiantian sneered. "This is just Yanjing City. Looking at the whole country, what are that girl's grades like? Internationally, she's not even worth mentioning. Instead of working hard, she's thinking about crooked ways. She won't achieve anything great."
“Yes!” Cui Ying laughed. “We just need to be wary of such scoundrels. Tian Tian, don’t worry. I will carefully check everything you use.”
“Mm.” He Tiantian nodded. “Yuanyuan, keep an eye on it. There might be others besides Jiao Lihong.”
"Yes," Wei Yuanyuan said with a smile, "I will keep an eye on it."
He Tiantian was somewhat disappointed.
Cui Ying was He Tiantian's classmate and good friend, so she naturally understood He Tiantian's feelings.
"The tallest tree in the forest catches the most wind," Cui Ying said with a smile. "If you're outstanding, someone will be jealous. And there's another saying: wherever there are people, there's a social dynamic."
"Also, when you're in the world of martial arts, you're not always in control of your own destiny," Wei Yuanyuan added. "Just have a clear conscience."
"Never forget your original aspiration, and you will achieve your goal." Cui Ying patted He Tiantian's shoulder, saying so much to comfort her.
He Tiantian nodded and smiled, "I understand, I won't overthink it."
Sports competitions are inherently very brutal.
Higher, faster, stronger.
This requires not only talent, but also hard work.
He Tiantian understood that there would be all sorts of difficulties along the way.
However, when I actually encountered it, I felt somewhat disappointed.
Fortunately, she has so many family and friends who support her.
Originally, it was thought that Jiao Lihong would do something to He Tiantian, but He Tiantian overthought it and nothing happened.
Jiao Lihong's eyes were somewhat unfriendly when she saw He Tiantian, but she did not make any underhanded moves.
Wei Yuanyuan was not only uneasy, but became even more vigilant.
Jiao Lihong remained silent until the eve of the competition.
This puzzled He Tiantian, but with the competition approaching, she didn't have much time to think about it and began preparing.
The 1986 National Swimming Championships were held in Nanshi, Jiangsu Province.
Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin wanted to go watch the game, so they secretly asked their teacher for leave.
"Teacher, we'd like to ask for leave," Huo Ruimin said with a smile, preparing to surprise her mother.
"Why are you asking for leave?" Teacher Zhang asked kindly. "Can you tell me the reason?"
Huo Ruihua and Huo Ruimin are good students in the class, and their grades have always been excellent.
"We want to ask for leave to go watch Mom's match," Huo Ruimin said. Huo Ruihua listened from the side, figuring that since his sister could get leave, he could get leave too.
"A competition?" Teacher Zhang asked curiously. "What kind of competition?"
"The National Swimming Championships are being held in Nanshi," Huo Ruimin said. "This is my mother's first time participating in a professional swimming competition, and as her daughter, I want to go and cheer her on."
"But it will take a long time," Teacher Zhang said hesitantly. "What if it affects the grades?"
“We need a two-week vacation.” Huo Ruimin shook his head seriously and said, “Teacher Zhang, we have already finished learning the knowledge for this semester, so it will not affect our grades.”
"Uh..." Teacher Zhang was at a loss for words, "Do your parents know you need to ask for leave?"
"I know," Huo Ruimin replied. "Teacher Zhang, please, please give us a holiday."

I recommend my friend Tianqingdibai's novel "Rebirth in a Mountainous Family," in which Qin Qing raises her daughter to become rich, punishes the scumbags, and marries a rich and handsome man.
