Time flies, and years pass quickly.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye. During these three months, Bai Yu and Wang Hai both lost weight, got darker, and became more muscular.
The weight gained over the summer was completely burned off in just a few weeks, followed by the burning of body fat and its conversion into muscle.
After three months of training, Bai Yu and his companion's running performance, while not exactly showing a significant improvement, has at least improved to some extent, and their overall condition is also much better than before.
Anyone who has practiced sports should know that there is a clear difference between someone who has received professional training and someone who trains by trial and error.
The former are more professional in competitions and can perform more consistently, while the latter are the representatives of inconsistent performance, with their competition results mainly depending on their form.
After three months of training, the people who trained with Bai Yu and his companion showed the greatest improvement. For example, among the seven people who trained with Bai Yu, the member who trained for the 10,000 meters improved his best time by more than a minute.
My improved time is already close to thirty minutes; with a little more effort, I might be able to break thirty minutes.
As for Bai Yu's performance, he has already broken into the sub-30-minute mark, with his current best time being around 29 minutes. Whether he can improve further depends on his condition during the race.
With the end of three months of training, Bai Yu and Wang Hai also ushered in a short holiday, the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, where they can have a good three-day rest.
The reason for this three-day holiday is not only because of the holiday, but also because the provincial selection in Haikou is about to begin, and many members of the track and field team will be going to participate in the selection.
To prepare for this selection, they only took one day off during the Labor Day holiday, spending the rest of the time in training.
June 8th, the afternoon before the Dragon Boat Festival.
Having just finished a day of training, Bai Yu and the others gathered together, asking each other about their plans for the next few days.
Besides Bai Yu and Wang Hai, there were also Hu Tao, Liu Ming, and several others among them.
They all have one thing in common: they will be members representing Ocean University in the Universiade, and the provincial selection competition the year after next will have little to do with them.
"Brother Tao, tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, we have a three-day holiday. It's such a rare opportunity for a long holiday, do you have any holiday plans?"
"What else could we do? Of course, we should take this time to rest. Aren't you tired of training every day?"
"What's wrong, Xiaoyu? You're asking me this because you have some plans? Why don't you tell us and see if we can all get involved?"
When asked this question by Bai Yu, Hu Tao told the truth that he had no plans. In his opinion, since he had finally gotten a break, he should just relax and not go out and cause trouble.
"Hehe, Brother Tao understands me best! Brother Tao, this is what I'm thinking. Look, we finally got a break, and it's a three-day holiday. We have to make the most of this holiday."
Otherwise, if we miss this opportunity, the next time we'll have such a long break will be around the time of the Universiade.
So here's what I'm thinking: how about we use these three days to go fishing? In the past three months, we haven't even had much time to go fishing, let alone go beachcombing. If we miss this opportunity, we'll have to wait at least another three months.
"Brother Tao, what do you think of my idea?"
Bai Yu looked at Hu Tao and told him what was on his mind.
Just as he said, during those three months, they only had one day off per week, and the rest of the time was spent training.
Under such intense training, they rarely had the chance to go fishing or even go beachcombing, let alone go fishing. Because of this, Bai Yu's Kuaishou account has stopped updating beachcombing and fishing videos and has started updating training content instead.
This led netizens unfamiliar with Bai Yu to mistake his videos for a fitness blogger rather than a beachcombing and fishing blogger.
Fortunately, Bai Yu's fans are quite understanding and expressed their sympathy when they learned about his current situation.
Although Bai Yu's fan base didn't decrease after this incident, he was still a little worried, given how quickly the internet evolves.
If he doesn't update his beachcombing or fishing videos for a long time, his previously accumulated fans will switch to other bloggers, which would undoubtedly be a huge loss for him.
In addition, Bai Yu now really enjoys beachcombing and fishing. He hasn't been out to sea for three months, and he's really getting restless.
So I'm planning to take advantage of this short holiday to gather a group of people for a fishing trip at sea. This way, we can both satisfy our fishing cravings and also take the opportunity to collect some fishing video footage.
If they have a good haul from their three-day sea voyage, they might be able to gather enough material to post for half a month in one go.
Moreover, he had planned this trip to sea three days in advance. He had already asked Brother Li, and his company had a fishing boat docked at the pier. As long as they had enough people, they could go out to sea to fish immediately.
However, with the Dragon Boat Festival fast approaching, they still hadn't gathered enough people for the sea voyage. Left with no other choice, Bai Yu had to turn to Hu Tao's idea again.
Why use the word "again"?
That's because Brother Li had already asked Hu Tao once before, but Hu Tao's answer at the time was that he wouldn't go, as he wanted to rest for a few days during the Dragon Boat Festival.
"Going out to sea to fish? What's gotten into you so much now? You finally have some time to rest, and instead of taking a proper break, you're planning to go out to sea to fish?"
Tell me, how many more seats are needed on the ship? How many more people are needed before we can set sail?
"Hehe, Brother Tao really understands me; he gets right to the point. Brother Li told me there are still six spots available, but they can set off as soon as two more people sign up."
We can leave as early as tonight. It'll be a three-day trip, and we should be back by the morning of the 12th. So, Tao, how about we go fishing together?
"Leaving tonight? Isn't that a bit too rushed? It's already past four o'clock. According to what you've said, we only have a maximum of seven hours to prepare."
Hu Tao said with a conflicted expression.
"It's okay, Brother Tao. I meant the earliest we can leave is tonight. If you think that's a bit rushed, then we can leave tomorrow morning, that's fine too."
"No, let's leave tonight, around 11 pm. Xiaoyu, you tell Brother Li that we're leaving tonight. Liu Ming and I will go too. I'll ask my roommates later if they're interested."
"Me? I have other things to do here. I was saying that I was going home to see my parents during this holiday. Since you all said that, forget it. I'll see my parents next time. I'll come with you this time to earn some extra money."
"Is there any extra money to be made? Brother Tao, why don't you take us with you? We also want to earn some extra money."
"Wait, wait, don't rush, let me sort out the current situation first."
Just as Hu Tao confirmed that he would be going out to sea to fish that night, the other members of the track and field team next to him lit up with excitement when they heard that there was extra money to be made, and they clamored to go with Hu Tao and the others.
There are about a dozen people gathered together now. These are all brothers who are close to Hu Tao, Bai Yu and others. They usually eat together in the cafeteria after training, play games together, and go out to play together.
Among these people, Hu Tao and Bai Yu are the ones with the best economic conditions. This doesn't mean they have money from their families, but rather that they have their own source of income.
When he has free time, Hu Tao would sometimes take them to go beachcombing to earn some extra money.
However, in most cases, the harvest is only average. A hundred or so yuan is considered good, and anything more depends on luck.
Just like the recent times Bai Yu and Li Shuang went beachcombing, the harvest was not bad, with each person earning four or five hundred yuan, but that was purely based on quantity.
Just three days ago, Bai Yu and his three friends went to the beach to dig for clams. They worked together to dig up several hundred kilograms of clams, which exhausted all four of them. They each earned a few hundred yuan.
In the past, when they weren't training, Hu Tao and his friends would go fishing, hoping to get rich.
Even if we fail, it will only add another bucket of cold water to our already tight money situation.
After a discussion, Hu Tao didn't even need to ask his roommates anymore; he gathered six people on the spot to go fishing at sea together.
Among the group that was hastily assembled, some didn't even have fishing rods and would have to go to a fishing tackle shop that afternoon to buy them...
Looking at the situation, Bai Yu was full of doubts about the guys who were going to go out to sea with him. He even wondered if these guys had ever been on a boat before, and whether they would get seasick.
While Hu Tao was taking them to buy fishing rods, Bai Yu and Wang Hai returned to their dormitory first. After saying goodbye to Li Shuang and Lu Sheng, the four of them began packing their things.
Ever since Bai Yu started sea fishing, he has brought his fishing gear bag with him whenever he goes to a place related to the sea, in order to prepare for any unexpected fishing trips.
As it approached nine o'clock in the evening, Bai Yu and his group of ten, carrying large and small bags of luggage, boarded the minibus arranged by the boat rental company and set off for the dock.
