After lunch and a short break, the afternoon competition began again. The handsome men and beautiful women all changed into swimsuits. Whether they were participating or not, they all appeared in swimsuits.
Moving to the indoor swimming pool, fans took out their cameras and took pictures to record the beautiful faces of their idols. The high-definition pictures were circulated all over the Internet, and the hot searches on Weibo were dominated by the swimsuit photos of each idol.
There were quite a few swimmers registered, 24 boys and 12 girls, so they had to compete in preliminary rounds. The boys were divided into three groups of eight, and the top two from each group advanced to the finals. The girls were divided into two groups of six, and the top three from each group advanced to the finals. There were no prescribed swimming styles; swimmers could swim however they pleased, and their speed was the key to their performance.
As usual, girls are given priority in the competition. Beauties in beautiful swimsuits jump into the swimming pool at the command, their graceful figures swaying in the water like free elves.
The race required a total of 100 meters, with a 50-meter lane, perfect for a round trip. Zhao Si watched the girls swimming nimbly and effortlessly, eager to try. He had never swum before and was looking forward to it.
The girls' competition ended steadily amid the cheers and applause of the audience. Next it was the boys' turn. The 24 boys drew lots to decide their groups. Perhaps it was as they wished, Zhao Si was lucky enough to be drawn into the first group.
The audience was full of anticipation for this competition. Zhao Si could be called an all-around athlete. There was nothing he couldn't do in the events he had participated in so far, and he was very good at it. Therefore, the audience was optimistic about his performance, and the cheers and screams when they saw him appear on the scene were even more exciting.
Standing on the starting platform, Zhao Si looked into the water. He was wearing only a pair of bright pink swimming trunks. His fair skin, firm muscles, and round buttocks made him look very sexy in his swimming trunks.
The screams at the scene were getting louder and louder. Gu Lingfeng couldn't bear to watch. It was too obvious that he was flirting. Who on earth picked out those swimming trunks for him...
"Beep!" After a long whistle, the athletes jumped into the water like dolphins, and their smooth bodies drew beautiful arcs in the air.
Zhao Si jumped forward gracefully. When his body was surrounded by water, the first thing he felt was coolness. Then a large amount of water poured into his ears. He listened to the gurgling sound and it felt like boiling water.
He held his breath and thought about how he had watched others swim before, then he started paddling, slapping the water with his hands and kicking his legs hard backwards. He was trying his best to win another gold cup.
"What's going on, Brother Si?"
"I don't know, brother can't swim?"
"No way? Can swimming be harder than the pommel horse and balance beam?"
There were whispers like this everywhere in the audience. Gu Lingfeng frowned. He and the audience had noticed Zhao Si's situation. Zhao Si basically didn't move forward from beginning to end. He had been splashing in the water in the same place. He jumped in and swam for a long time and was still in the same place.
The players watching the game on the shore also noticed this situation. They looked at each other and found it funny. They tried very hard not to laugh. It was rare that there was an event that Zhao Si didn't know how to play. They could be said to have avenged themselves and wiped out their previous humiliation.
Shu Qiao was skinny and looked like a little chicken in his swimsuit. He hid behind the fat Deng Hai, stretched his head to watch Zhao Si splashing in the water, and suddenly said, "Si'er looks like a turtle like this."
"Oh my God, you should be more careful with your mouth, haven't you been scolded enough?" Deng Hai really wanted to cover his mouth. In these short ten days, he had experienced Shu Qiao's bad mouth skills up close. No matter who it was, he would go up to complain about them. He was very lenient with them. His fans treated him as a public enemy, and someone would open a new thread to scold him every day.
"That's right, that's how the turtles in our neighborhood scratch." Shu Qiao didn't stop talking and stretched out his hand to gesture to Deng Hai, but Deng Hai didn't want to pay attention to him.
Seeing that Deng Hai ignored him, Shu Qiao asked Sunan again, "Hey, Xiaonan, Si'er can't swim?"
Sunan shook his head. He didn't know either. In fact, he couldn't swim himself. He was a little worried. "Is he okay if he keeps doing this? Will he drown?"
Shu Qiao didn't take it seriously, "No, don't worry, there are so many people watching."
"Okay." Sunan nodded, still feeling a little uneasy.
Zhao Si was splashing vigorously in the water, his lungs almost bursting from holding his breath, but he still couldn't see the pool wall. He felt strange and looked around through his goggles. There was no one on either side of him. He didn't know if he was too fast or too slow.
His lungs were becoming more and more painful. He gradually loosened his grip and concentrated all his strength on his neck, trying to get his head out of the water to breathe. However, the situation became more miserable the harder he tried. Zhao Si squeezed the last breath out of his lungs but still couldn't get his head out. Finally, he couldn't hold it in any longer and loosened his teeth, and a large mouthful of water choked into his mouth and nose.
"Gulp, gurgle, gurgle..." This was the sound of Zhao Si drinking water. A large amount of water poured into his body. The severe pain in his trachea made him cough continuously. His throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't breathe. His brain became a little confused. He wanted to go up but couldn't, and he couldn't go down. His limbs twitched as if he wanted to grab something.
"Splash!" Suddenly, a pair of strong hands grabbed him and pulled him out of the water. He coughed and breathed in the precious air.
Gu Lingfeng's face was ashen as he dragged Zhao Si to the shore with two lifeguards. He was soaked all over and didn't even have time to take off his shoes and cell phone. He had been watching Zhao Si's situation and only then discovered that something was wrong with Zhao Si in time.
Without having time to think, he jumped out of the audience seats and ran towards the swimming pool, shouting for lifeguards as he ran. However, he didn't know whether the lifeguards were just there for show or were too engrossed in watching the fun to react for a long time. Gu Lingfeng ran over and dived in to pull Zhao Si up.
