Dive headfirst into the pool.
Open your eyes.
Blowing out a few bubbles.
The world under water is blue.
The sunlight shines through the transparent ceiling, making the water sparkle.
Xiaoqi swam freely, like a fish in the water.
Only then did the messy thoughts completely disappear from my mind.
Washed away by the sound of water splashing in the swimming pool, it disappeared completely.
My hometown, Fu Gemo’s grandmother, unpleasant relatives, unfairness... everything slowly faded away.
Exercise not only strengthens the body, but also expands the mind.
Because when Xiaoqi really gets into exercise, whether it's running or swimming, he is too tired to think about those things. Then when he looks back, they are really small things, very small things. In fact, they will have no impact on the next few decades, and will not have any impact on the present.
I swam back and forth a few times happily before the coach came over.
He asked Xiao Qi to continue swimming and watched her for a while. When she stood up, he said, "There's a preliminaries tomorrow, a more formal one. You just need to maintain your level today."
Xiao Qi nodded.
Tomorrow is the 11th, the last day of the dog days, and the official competition will be on the 20th.
"Any questions? Did you watch the match video I asked you to watch?"
"No problem, there are some to watch."
Now when Xiaoqi is cooking, taking a break, going to the toilet... he will open the swimming video sent by the teacher to watch.
"Okay, don't be nervous. Just perform at your normal level and there will be no problem. Come over tomorrow morning. You should be able to finish the competition in half a day. You still have a little practice left. Remember to come with me to get your competition clothes and supplies."
After the coach finished speaking, he was called away by others.
She is busy in the afternoon.
Xiaoqi practiced alone. She swam very happily. She could not feel any other progress, but her physical strength was much better. She used to be so tired after swimming ten rounds that she didn't even want to lift her hands and feet. She was about to get up and lie down on the shore, but the coach strictly reminded her that she could not lie down even after swimming tiredly, but had to stretch.
You can rest only after stretching.
Slowly from twelve back and forth, to fifteen back and forth, and now after swimming twenty back and forth, Xiaoqi still feels that he is not completely exhausted and can still swim for a while.
But she didn't continue because she had a competition tomorrow and couldn't practice too hard.
When Xiaoqi was learning to swim, she was always summarizing her experience.
Her goal is to be fast, to make progress as quickly as possible in a short training session, and then to get a good ranking in the competition.
She didn't dare to think about getting first place, but she had to at least get second or third place.
So regular training is not enough.
She feels that she has made progress because there is an interface to calculate the pace time.
But it’s a little inconvenient that I don’t have a watch today.
It is also thanks to her running during this period that her swimming skills have also improved.
Then she would think about the videos of swimming competitions she had seen and the outstanding athletes. In the end, she felt that having a standard posture was the easiest thing to do.
After training, Xiaoqi went to the coach to get the things to be distributed for tomorrow's preliminaries, which were a swimsuit, a bath towel, and a bag, all with the Sanhua logo.
The swimsuit is red with black edges and three little flowers on the chest, which is a bit silly.
After saying goodbye to her coach, she went out, but did not go back immediately. Instead, she went to the mall to buy a watch.
You can go swimming in the water.
You don’t know how expensive a watch is until you go into a watch shop.
The watch Xiaoqi wore before was only thirty yuan, and she had worn it for two years. She originally wanted to buy a similar one so that she could check the time while swimming, so she needed one that could be used in swimming and was waterproof.
As soon as she made this request, the price of the watch the waiter took her to see suddenly increased.
They all seem to be over a thousand.
Xiao Qi took a look at the interface in front of him and counted with great effort: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands, a six-digit number.
I walked all morning and swam all afternoon. I have already walked 30,000 steps, and the amount of money I earned has exceeded 100,000 for the first time.
Sometimes I really feel like I don’t want to spend a penny, but just watching the money increase little by little, I feel very satisfied.
At this time, Xiaoqi began to understand Grandet's character. Saving money is really a very pleasant thing. Watching the amount of money increase, it seems that the mood will be very good.
However, she also found that if she did nothing, the money would actually increase extremely slowly. Initially, the system could make one thousand yuan a day, and now it can make fifteen thousand yuan a day. She had to keep changing and improving herself so that the system would upgrade, but she didn't seem to have found any pattern on how to do it. Because Xiaoqi had tried it, sometimes she took the initiative to help others, but the system didn't give any feedback.
Xiao Qi followed the salesperson and looked at his watch without saying a word.
The salesperson in the watch shop was wearing a black suit and leather shoes and had long straight hair. It was summer and the air conditioning was on full blast. Xiaoqi was wearing a new skirt today. When she followed the salesperson around, she could see her own reflection in the mirrors everywhere in the bright and spacious watch shop.
It's rare that he doesn't look sloppy, and he's not outdone by the other person's suit.
The salesperson was very attentive, with a big smile on her face and red lipstick, which contrasted with her very white and neat teeth.
The salesperson with a big smile looks good.
"This watch is light, simple and low-key, suitable for students. What do you think?" She took out a silver watch wearing white gloves and gently placed it in a black velvet box.
The silver watch on her slender white wrist shone brightly under the light of the watch shop.
It fits her hands perfectly and looks beautiful.
"This is a Longines watch with a white mother-of-pearl dial. It has the date on it and is a mechanical watch with a lifetime warranty. It doesn't require batteries and can withstand water up to 15 meters deep." The salesperson introduced enthusiastically while standing aside.
Xiaoqi liked it very much. There was a price tag on the watch, and she thought it would be at least one or two thousand. But when she looked closely, she found that she was too naive and had omitted one zero.
This watch costs more than 16,000 yuan.
At this moment, Xiaoqi was a little hesitant. Should he buy it or not?
The salesperson continued, "This watch strap is made of stainless steel. It won't break. If you flip it over, you can see the movement inside. It can be worn for a lifetime. If you don't like it anymore, you can give it to someone else and they can wear it forever."
Converted to a lifetime, this price doesn't seem expensive.
But Xiaoqi was still a little hesitant.
In the mirror opposite the counter, there is a seventeen-year-old girl, standing tall and graceful in a white dress, with her wrist raised, a touch of bright color on her wrist.
The watch matches her dress today.
She didn't buy it, because at that moment, she seemed to see her elementary school classmate Zhang Juan in the mirror. She was carrying a nice little bag, wearing beautiful high heels, and smilingly said to the villagers, "Come to her house for a visit." At that moment, Zhang Juan looked good. She was young, beautiful, well-dressed, and full of confidence.
But then the villagers started talking about it.
Xiaoqi put down the watch and chose a new one.
"This is too expensive. I want something that I can swim in, but it doesn't have to be this expensive. It should be more cost-effective and can tell the time." She said calmly.
The salesperson kept smiling and put the small Longines back.
He took Xiaoqi to another counter and took out another watch for Xiaoqi.
I picked up a new watch. This one is much cooler, with a larger dial and a rubber strap. There are many buttons on the side, which can be used to check the time and can also be used as a stopwatch. There is a gold border around the watch, and the lettering inside is also gold, giving it a modern robotic feel.
Xiaoqi looked at the price and found that it was only 1,500 yuan this time.
She breathed a sigh of relief, then found it funny. Now she thought a watch worth more than a thousand yuan was cheap. She felt that she was still a lot more inflated.
In the end, Xiaoqi bought this Casio electronic watch, which was slightly inconsistent with the skirt she was wearing today. The watch was more casual and the skirt was very ladylike, but Xiaoqi usually wore casual clothes, and she felt that this watch was more suitable for her.
It has many functions and can be used for swimming. Maybe she won’t need to use it for a lifetime. When she is really rich, she can buy herself another watch.
However, she was also very grateful to the salesperson for his careful introduction, which allowed her, who had never known about watches before, to learn about a brand, Longines.
Maybe it wasn't the most expensive, but she thought that she would definitely buy a Longines in the future.
Xiao Qi walked out of the watch shop wearing her new watch. The moment she stepped out of the shop, a mechanical voice rang out in her ears: "Host, please shop rationally, choose the things that are most suitable for you at the moment, and establish a correct consumption concept. I will reward you with a 20-day buff that doubles your learning efficiency."
