I can do whatever I want
No whistle, no timer, a closed game ended.
In the dim training ground, the two dared only turn on a small light.
The colorful lights shone on Zhou Xinwen's face, and there were no longer traces of tears on her face, but sweat from running with all her strength.
"Sister Qu Chi, thank you."
This competition was more like a race with no finish line. She gave her all, and Qu Chi also gave his all. They arrived and returned, started and touched the finish line again. She didn't even count how many laps they had.
It’s just that I haven’t been this happy for a long time.
Qu Chi yawned and stretched his tired body.
"Okay, let's go back. You may not know this, but this is the second time I've overloaded my training because of you."
Zhou Xinwen slowly sat up, wiped her face, and said with a smile:
"Sister Qu Chi, I admire you so much. When the coach asked me what I wanted to practice, I chose the 100 meters because I saw your race."
Qu Chi paused and couldn't help but cover his eyes. He couldn't tell whether he felt relieved or regretful. He could only sigh that it was a coincidence.
"Thanks to myself, I have recruited another genius for track and field sprinting."
Qu Chi stretched out his hand, flicked his fingers slightly, and motioned for her to hold it.
Zhou Xinwen put her hand on him, used the force to stand up.
"If possible, try to take on other sports and don't put pressure on yourself."
"Thanks."
The lights were turned off, and the dark and empty space was not scary at all because of the moonlight outside. The two blurry figures became longer and longer until they disappeared in the moonlight.
*
The relay team conducts baton passing training whenever they have time. Currently, there are not many players in the 400-meter trial, but each of them must practice with Qu Chi.
The baton passing technique is one of the keys to success in a relay race.
The good cooperation among the relay team members can even make a team whose average score is not as good as that of a strong team to surpass the strong team in the end.
In the 100-meter relay race, many teams made mistakes in baton passing and achieved unsatisfactory results, but there were also many teams that performed well in baton passing and won medals.
The 4x400m, also a sprint relay, has similar baton passing rules and lane-cutting rules. The real competition begins after the second leg completes the first bend.
"The relay team is still in the selection stage. You need to try out each position. Each baton has different technical requirements. You also know that there may be many changes in the future. Don't worry, these techniques will not take up too much of your training time."
Qu Chi nodded: "It's a transition period, I understand coach."
Relay race is a team honor, she can understand that.
He Yang looked through Qu Chi's training plan and suddenly asked:
"Which of the remaining team members do you think is more suitable?"
Qu Chi was stunned and subconsciously turned around to look at his teammates. They were all training seriously because they had finally made it into the national team and no one wanted to miss this opportunity.
But why did Coach He ask for her opinion?
She suddenly realized that He Yang was not trying to give her a difficult problem, but was seriously considering her opinion. After all, she was now a core member of the team.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, He Yang didn't force her:
"I understand. I'll observe it for a while longer. Don't worry too much."
"Although you're only 18, once the relay team is formed, you'll be the captain. But age is indeed a problem. If you don't have enough authority, unnecessary friction may arise. I also hope that future relay teams can run more smoothly."
Qu Chi: "Okay, coach, thank you."
He Yang chuckled and tapped her head lightly with the clipboard: "You are not modest at all."
She didn't refuse when asked to be the captain. Sure enough, for a student of her age and an athlete trained in isolation from the world, she was too naive.
Unlike the group of people at the Field Management Center.
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Just as He Yang finished talking to Qu Chi, Xiang Cheng and Zhou Xinwen appeared at the door with several assistant coaches.
He Yang: "Lao Xiang? What are you doing here?"
Also following Zhou Xinwen.
Something is wrong. It's absolutely wrong.
When Qu Chi left, his eyes met Zhou Xinwen's, and Zhou Xinwen smiled.
Dong Zichun: "Isn't she the little genius in the 100m? Why is she in our 400m event?"
Qu Chi: “…”
Dong Zichun: “Tsk.”
"Does she want to change her project? Wasn't she originally on the same provincial team as you? Oh, and did you two share a dormitory? Do you know anything about this?"
Qu Chi: "I don't know."
Dong Zichun made another "tsk" sound and watched the two coaches chatting happily. Zhou Xinwen stared at the field with curiosity.
She always suspected that Zhou Xinwen was here to join them.
"Aren't you afraid?"
Qu Chi knew what she was talking about. After all, Dong Zichun also understood the feeling of seeing an unattainable genius switch projects.
However, she is still different from Dong Zichun:
"You have experience with being chased and beaten, right?"
Dong Zichun was so angry that he did two bench presses.
Qu Chi: "There's nothing to be afraid of."
In fact, she is not that afraid of losing.
Now, just trying to win.
"Zhou Xinwen wants to try out multiple events. She's interested in both the 200m and 400m, but we can't just let her choose haphazardly, so I brought her here to try."
"Hiss, you are too exaggerated." He Yang couldn't help but punched Xiang Cheng. Competing in multiple events depends on the athlete's personal wishes, but it can't be so casual.
"Xinwen is very talented in sprinting. In terms of absolute speed, she's no worse than Qu Chi. Just let her try. If she doesn't succeed, I'll take her back to focus on training for the 100 meters."
He Yang was convinced.
Zhou Xinwen is young, but everyone treats her like a child.
After all, I am an athlete who has joined the national team. I can participate in international competitions at the age of 16, so I am not afraid of psychological fluctuations when trying random events.
Wait, she seemed to remember that Zhou Xinwen's mental state during this period affected her performance, and the news had already spread to the entire sprint group.
So Xiang Cheng is here to solve her psychological problems?
"The 400 meters requires pace control. Let her run with the rest of our team."
Zhou Xinwen just stood on the 400-meter track.
"Sister Qu Chi, I'm going to try the 400 meters!"
Qu Chi nodded, but before she could say anything, Dong Zichun put his arm around her shoulders from behind.
Qu Chi: "? Dong Zichun?"
She was confused and moved her shoulders, but Dong Zichun was quite strong and held her shoulders tightly to prevent her from moving.
"Contestant Zhou, why do you suddenly want to try the 400 meters? Do you see our 400 meters are developing so well that you want to take advantage of our momentum?"
Qu Chi: "Dong Zichun!"
Even after being elbowed in the abdomen, Dong Zichun still refused to let go and held Qu Chi tightly. The two looked very close and had smiles on their faces. Qu Chi got goosebumps when he heard it.
"Athlete Dong, I talked with Sister Qu Chi last night. You must have heard about my inconsistent performance. Perhaps if I compete in another event and focus less on the 100 meters, my performance will improve."
Dong Zichun's smile became even brighter now.
"Oh, so it was Qu Chi's idea. Qu Xiaochi is so young, but she can already be a close friend?"
Qu Chi: "...That's enough. What's the point of acting? It's time for a training match."
Dong Zichun rolled his eyes at Qu Chi and snorted, not being polite at all.
Zhou Xinwen's eyes turned red: "Sister Qu Chi, does contestant Dong not welcome me?"
Qu Chi couldn't help but press her solar plexus. Although it didn't sound like anything special on the surface, she had already sensed something was wrong when she was between two people.
What could possibly be wrong between these two people? They probably don't even know each other!
Besides, what does this have to do with her!
The training match ended quickly. Zhou Xinwen was obviously a promising athlete in the 100 meters, but she was obviously not good at the 400 meters, which required endurance, and her technique was not mature. After one game, she completely gave up the idea of practicing the 400 meters.
"Sister Qu Chi, I can't train with you anymore."
Zhou Xinwen was dejected and dejected, while Dong Zichun stood not far away with his hands on his hips, humming in a sarcastic tone.
Qu Chi: "...you should practice your own project well."
Zhou Xinwen finally competed in the 200m. The overall conditions of the two events are similar, and the new technology is only concentrated in the starting corner. There are many people who compete in both events.
After the interlude, Dong Zichun came to Qu Chi:
"You are really broad-minded. I have never been nice to you until now, and you and her just let it go like this?"
Qu Chi was helpless: "Please, can you not make it so complicated? She is an excellent athlete. I used to be jealous of her, but if she is really suitable for the 400 meters, it will be a good thing for the event."
Dong Zichun was so angry that he could only roll his eyes wildly.
Qu Chi looked at her and raised the corners of his mouth again.
"The same to you."
Dong Zichun: "Huh? What?"
"Excellent athlete, you too. It's a pleasure to be your teammate."
Although Dong Zichun is very naive, she is probably supporting her in her own way.
Qu Chi didn't want to say thank you, after all, he didn't need any help in this matter.
But in the end, it seems more conducive to unity when the team members support the captain.
