Chapter 300 Shura Field (Part 2) (Vote)
There was an empty seat between their seats.
Xia Lili was completely oblivious and remained optimistic: "It's okay, maybe I can make some new friends!"
As he was speaking, a middle-aged man in team uniform and with a capable temperament walked over.
Xia Lili immediately recognized the person coming in as Jiang Yun's coach, Coach Chen. Her eyes lit up immediately, and her tone was filled with unconcealed intimacy: "Coach Chen! It's been a long time since I last saw you!"
"Hey, Lili!" Coach Chen, who was sitting between Xia Lili and Li Qihan, immediately smiled kindly, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes smoothed out.
"It's really you! The last time I saw you, you were still the 'little frog' handing out flyers in a doll costume at the mall. And now, I heard you're a specially hired criminal profiler for the police department. That's amazing!"
......
Li Qihan looked expressionlessly at the two people who were chatting happily beside him, and the air pressure around him silently dropped several degrees.
He listened to the two of them talking for a moment with a calm expression, then leaned forward slightly and spoke in a low but clear voice, "Coach Chen, excuse me. I have some urgent case details that I need to confirm with Lili."
He turned his gaze to Xia Lili beside him and said, "Just a few minutes."
Coach Chen was stunned for a moment, then stood up with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, you two should talk about business first."
As he said that, he readily changed to the seat next to him.
Li Qihan sat down next to Xia Lili calmly.
She had just turned her head to ask him what the case was when she felt him suddenly approach, his warm breath brushing against her ear.
“There is no case.”
He lowered his voice and whispered to Xia Lili, with a hint of calmness in his voice:
“It’s made up.”
"I just don't want to talk to people through you."
When Xia Lili heard this, the tips of her ears turned red, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
He leaned back in his chair and muttered softly, "I was scared to death..."
"I thought I'd have to review the case while watching the game today, but why not just throw me into the swimming pool..."
A faint smile flashed across Li Qihan's eyes, and his voice unconsciously slowed down:
"I don't want to disturb your good mood."
"Just watch the game with peace of mind."
The game started on time at 6:30 pm.
Although it was not of Olympic standard, the scene was star-studded.
Many top players gathered by the pool.
There are Olympic medalists, World Championship champions, as well as highly-anticipated rising stars of the national team.
Among them, some are preparing for the next Olympics, while others are the faces of brands' endorsements.
Tickets for the stands were not sold publicly, and most of the attendees were sports media, brand guests and a few lucky fans. The atmosphere was professional yet high-end.
Xia Lili was sitting at the table and couldn't help but let out a soft "Wow".
The entire venue was illuminated by lights like a futuristic stadium, with huge brand logos floating faintly at the bottom of the pool. Music and cheers intertwined, creating a scene that was both tense and dazzling.
She looked at the contestants taking their places at the starting line with bright eyes and sighed softly, "This isn't a competition, it's a fashion show..."
Xia Lili's eyesight had always been excellent, and it was even more effective at this moment. She spotted Jiang Yun among the group of well-built runners at the starting point with a single glance.
He was standing in front of the third lane, leaning forward slightly and making final preparations.
The light of water and light interweave and fall on his smooth back muscles and tight arms. Every inch of his muscles reveals the unique sense of strength of a young athlete.
She unconsciously leaned forward slightly and whispered in admiration: "Oh my God... Jiang Yun's figure is too good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man next to him suddenly coughed softly.
Li Qihan faced the pool, his jawline tensing slightly. Without turning around, he replied calmly:
"Um."
"Good eyesight."
His voice was low, "What a poor judgement."
Xia Lili: “…Huh?”
Jiang Yun's game will start soon.
The starting gun sounded, and eight figures jumped into the swimming pool at the same time.
Jiang Yun's butterfly stroke is extremely explosive and beautiful. His arms are as smooth as wings when cutting through the water. Every kick is precise and powerful, but the splashes he stirs up are extremely controlled.
He led the entire race and was unsurprisingly the first to touch the wall.
The big screen immediately froze the image of him taking off his goggles and breathing heavily.
Drops of water rolled down his angular cheeks, and his eyebrows and eyes were sharp, which caused exclamations from the stands.
His gaze passed through the shaking camera and the cheering crowd and looked straight in the direction of Xia Lili.
After the award ceremony, he took the custom ring that symbolized the championship, held it in his palm, and walked towards her seat without hesitation.
But before he got close, his pace slowed down.
Xia Lili was talking to Li Qiuhan with her head slightly tilted, her eyes curved and she was smiling without any defense.
Jiang Yun pursed his lips and suddenly quickened his pace.
He hadn't even completely wiped off the water droplets on his body, his hair wet and hanging on his forehead, when he called out to her from a short distance:
“Lili——!”
Seeing her turn around at the sound, he immediately raised his arm and waved, a smile so bright that it was almost dazzling bloomed on his face. He met Li Qihan's calm gaze without hesitation and asked loudly:
"How did I behave just now?"
Xia Lili was amused by his dripping wet but eager look, and immediately responded loudly, "Excellent! Your swimming style is so beautiful, just like a butterfly!"
The corners of Jiang Yun's mouth suddenly lifted high, and his maple-red thin lips curved into a bright and unrestrained arc.
"Lili, catch it firmly."
Jiang Yun suddenly raised his hand and flung the championship ring towards Xia Lili.
The silver light drew an arc, and Xia Lili was caught off guard. She let out a low cry of "Ah" and quickly reached out to catch it.
The metal ring, still carrying the coolness and moisture of the pool water, lay quietly in her palm.
"We are really good at Lili."
Water droplets were still adorning Jiang Yun's hair and chin. His whole body was wet and glowing. When he smiled, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were tinged with the youthful passion and vigor that was unique to him.
It's like the first ray of sunlight that suddenly penetrates the clouds after a summer rain, making people unable to look away.
Li Qihan, who was standing beside Xia Lili, looked down silently.
He stared at the championship ring that was thrown and caught, with no expression on his face, except that his knuckles on his knees tightened slightly, revealing a hint of restraint.
Jiang Yun quickly returned from the locker room, looking fresh. His white sports jacket was open, revealing the solid-colored T-shirt underneath. A headband pushed back his slightly damp hair, highlighting the bright and energetic look between his eyebrows.
He walked straight to the seat on the other side of Xia Lili and sat down naturally, leaning slightly towards her, and asked in a light tone:
"Have you collected the ring? It's a limited edition."
In an instant, Xia Lili seemed to feel that the air on both sides stagnated for a second at the same time.
