On the eve of the finals,
Ma Dong, Meng Xiaohai, and Xu Wei all pinned their hopes on Zhou Chen, sincerely hoping that he could win first place.
At the dinner table, the three of them raised their glasses one after another and said many things that acknowledged Zhou Chen.
Because the competition had to continue, Zhou Chen toasted the three of them with water instead of wine.
That night,
The three men got drunk and ran into several coaches as they left the restaurant. Although the coaches were angry, they understood the men's resentment and turned a blind eye, not pursuing the matter.
Lu Guoliang breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Zhou Chen hadn't eaten or drunk anything inappropriate. He then quickly took Zhou Chen back to the hotel and forbade him from going out to ensure that tomorrow's match would not be affected.
Zhou Chen couldn't sleep, glanced at the time, and called Sun Wanying.
Sun Wanying was still working overtime. The two chatted for a while before hanging up.
Little did they know,
At Fengcheng Airport, Sun Wanying is waiting for her flight.
"I also want to give you a surprise."
Sun Wanying thought of Zhou Chen suddenly appearing in front of her before, and she wanted to do the same.
That's why he pretended to be working overtime, but actually planned to secretly go to Suzhou.
Just as Sun Wanying was imagining Zhou Chen being startled by her sudden appearance, Su Jiajia called.
"Wanying, are you asleep? Aren't you home? It's a bit noisy around here."
"...I, I'm not asleep yet, I'm outside."
Sun Wanying awkwardly explained that she did not say she was going to where Zhou Chen was to watch him participate in the competition.
"Oh, then be careful. I'm here to tell you that he's made it to the finals."
"Let's talk about it when you get home."
"Ah... okay, I'll call you if I get back not too late."
After ending the call, Sun Wanying breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't dare tell Su Jiajia, afraid that Su Jiajia would say she was crazy, not reserved enough, and shouldn't have been so proactive.
So, feeling a little guilty for not telling the truth, she felt somewhat sorry for her best friend, Su Jiajia.
But as the boarding announcement began to play in the waiting area,
Sun Wanying didn't have time to think about any of that. She grabbed her small bag and headed towards the ticket gate.
When Zhou Chen saw Sun Wanying appear before him
He initially thought he had been sleeping too soundly, and that his dream was so vivid.
It wasn't until he touched Sun Wanying's face and felt its warmth that he realized the person in front of him was indeed his girlfriend, Sun Wanying.
"Why are you here? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
I wanted to give you a surprise.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen couldn't help but hug Sun Wanying, and the two embraced at the door of the room.
About half a minute later, they finally separated. Zhou Chen tucked a strand of hair behind Sun Wanying's ear and asked her about her project, whether it had interfered with her work.
Sun Wanying took a flight that lasted most of the night, traveling thousands of miles to see him. Why? Naturally, it was because of him. Zhou Chen was touched, but also felt a little sorry for her.
Feeling Zhou Chen's gentle gaze and soft questioning, Sun Wanying's heart couldn't help but race. Blushing, she explained that she had finished the finishing touches yesterday by working overtime.
Without even guessing, Zhou Chen knew that Sun Wanying had worked late last night to watch his match live, just so she wouldn't miss it.
How lucky you are to have a girlfriend like that.
Zhou Chen couldn't resist kissing Sun Wanying on the forehead.
Coincidentally, this scene was witnessed by Ma Dong, who lived across the street, and Meng Xiaohai, who lived in another room.
The two were stunned.
Is this beautiful woman Zhou Chen's girlfriend?
Zhou Chen is so enviable! He has amazing athletic talent, he's good at business, and now he has his own shop, not only that, he also has a girlfriend who is so beautiful. It's really too much.
"Ahem... This must be... my sister-in-law, hello sister-in-law."
"Hello, sister-in-law."
Ma Dong and Meng Xiaohai are both younger than Zhou Chen. After spending the last two days together, they both call Zhou Chen "Brother Chen". When Sun Wanying suddenly appears, they tactfully call her "Sister-in-law".
Hello.
Although Sun Wanying was shy, she was poised and confident in front of outsiders, without any awkwardness.
"His name is Ma Dong, a sports student at Haishi No.1 High School."
"His name is Meng Xiaohai, a sports student at Jiangshi No.1 High School."
Zhou Chen pointed to the two of them and introduced them to each other. Sun Wanying smiled and nodded.
"Are you hungry? I'll take you downstairs to eat."
Thinking that Sun Wanying was hungry, Zhou Chen took Sun Wanying's hand. Sun Wanying looked down, did not pull away, and then followed Zhou Chen downstairs.
Ma Dong and Meng Xiaohai exchanged a glance and silently uttered two words: Awesome!
They could tell that Sun Wanying was not a student; her mature attire suggested she was a young woman entering the workforce.
"I didn't expect Brother Chen to like relationships with older women."
"So this is the kind of person Brother Chen is."
"By the way, does your sister-in-law have any best friends? Actually, I quite like young ladies too."
The two followed behind, talking in hushed tones as they walked.
Zhou Chen did not shy away from Lu Guoliang, or other coaches and sports students. It's not something shameful, so what's wrong with making it public?
While Sun Wanying was overjoyed, she was also a little nervous, after all, she was appearing in front of Zhou Chen's teacher and friend.
Lu Guoliang gave a helpless, wry smile in response.
If it were anyone else, he certainly wouldn't have acted this way, but Zhou Chen is his precious student, so when other coaches turned their attention to him, he completely ignored them, as if nothing had happened.
The coaches present surely understood that Lu Guoliang neither wanted to nor intended to get involved.
However, upon reflection, they understood. After all, Zhou Chen was outstanding. Even if it were them, let alone Lu Guoliang, they would have to pretend they didn't see it. They knew that the leaders of their province were all counting on Zhou Chen to achieve results.
As long as I get first place, what does it matter if I bring my girlfriend?
If the physical education students they teach achieve similar results to Zhou Chen, they wouldn't mind doing so.
This is blatant double standards!
Fortunately, the athletes didn't hear these words, otherwise they would have been extremely upset.
Does having good grades mean you can do whatever you want?
Zhou Chen: "Sorry, but having good grades means you can do whatever you want."
Under Lu Guoliang's arrangement, Sun Wanying was given an entry badge that allowed her to stand closest to the stadium to watch the game.
This scene made Ma Dong and the others extremely envious.
Look at this treatment!
Looking at themselves, they didn't even have girlfriends, let alone bring them. All they had were calloused fingers.
This is too much to bear.
Zhou Chen sensed a strong sense of resentment and envy. He glanced at Ma Dong and the others, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
Sun Wanying came to lend her support.
Zhou Chen knew he had to perform well and couldn't afford to embarrass himself in front of Sun Wanying. He was determined to win the national youth track and field championship.
As the announcement was made over the loudspeaker, the athletes began to enter the field.
Zhou Chen smiled at Sun Wanying and turned to head towards the arena.
Cheers erupted from the stands, with many shouting Zhou Chen's name, as well as the names of others considered to have the highest probability of winning the championship.
...
Happy New Year, brothers!
