This Omega is Sweet and Wild - Chap 85
Chap 85
If there was a device in this world that could detect the awkwardness level in the air, Li Cheng believed that the device would have reported it by now.
Li Cheng did not feel happy at all when he saw the document announcing that he would be the captain of the swimming team. He just wanted to jump into the water and swim to the Pacific Ocean!!!
His scalp was numb, his toes were curled up in embarrassment, and his entire face was red.
“Yu … Coach Yu …” Li Cheng did not know what to say. Anything he said now would be wrong.
He had just contradicted the head coach of the swimming team in front of everyone and accused her of malpractice. In the end, it turned out that he was the one who had misjudged her …
The way the other students looked at him changed too.
At first, they sympathized with him for being “robbed” of his spot. Then, they admired his courage. Now, they were envious of him!
Every year, a team captain would be chosen. This person would be the backbone of the team and the hope of the team.
Li Cheng’s results were the most eye-catching, and he was selected to participate in the main event of the men’s and women’s mixed swimming. It seemed that Coach Yu had high hopes for him.
Most importantly, Li Cheng was an Omega. He was the first Omega to become the captain of the swimming team in history!
It was expected that when this appointment was announced to the public, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.
However, Li Cheng, as the person involved, was not that happy …
Li Cheng thought to himself. He would definitely become the shortest-lived swimming team captain in history!
It had not even been a minute since he was appointed to the position …
Li Cheng was so ashamed that he could not even lift his head. He could only repeat, “I’m sorry” over and over again.
Coach Yu said coldly, “As the captain, you openly contradicted your coach and questioned her decision.
If I don’t punish you today, what’s the use of the rules? ”
Li Cheng: QAQ
Li Cheng: “Then, then what do you think we should do?”
Coach Yu pointed at the swimming pool next to them: “10 kilometers.”
Li Cheng let out a long sigh of relief. As long as the coach forgave him, he would not dare to bargain!
Their team usually swam five kilometers early in the morning. He swam ten kilometers while resting. If he swam slower, he would definitely be able to finish it.
He was about to take off his clothes and get into the water when Coach Yu didn’t finish his sentence.
Coach Yu: “I’m talking about ten kilometers for each stroke.”
Li Cheng: “…”
Li Cheng: “Actually, I’m not capable enough to live up to your expectations.
I’ve thought about it carefully. I’m really not qualified to be the team leader … ”
Coach Yu gave the assistant coaches a look, and the four of them rushed forward. One of them took off his clothes, while the other took off his shoes. Li Cheng screamed, but it was a pity that two fists were no match for eight hands. Within a few minutes, Li Cheng was stripped naked. Fortunately, he was wearing a pair of swimming trunks, or else he would have been seen naked by the female team today!
Then, Coach Yu lifted his foot and mercilessly kicked Li Cheng’s butt. Li Cheng flew out and fell into the pool with a splash.
“Li Cheng, listen carefully. You’re not allowed to get out of the pool until you finish this 40 kilometers.”
Coach Yu called over Dai Yujing, who was not on good terms with Li Cheng, and instructed: “Dai Yujing, you’re in charge of watching Li Cheng. If Li Cheng can’t finish the 40 kilometers today, you’ll be the team leader.”
Dai Yujing: “!!!”
He immediately stood at attention and saluted: “Coach, don’t worry!”
When Li Cheng, who was struggling in the pool, heard this, he stomped his feet hard and the waves splashed onto Dai Yujing’s face.
F * ck, even if he died in the pool today, he was going to finish the 40 kilometers first!
“So, you really finished the 40 kilometers?” Xiao Yiheng tried hard to hold back her laughter as she asked her boyfriend on the other end of the phone.
“I can’t finish it. How could I finish it?” Li Cheng lay on his stomach on the bed. His hands were like soft noodles hanging by the side of the bed.
He laid his head on the pillow and said to the phone, “I don’t know how many kilometers I swam. At first, I was counting, but in the end, I lost count … I should have swum more than 10 kilometers. Coach Yu asked me to get out of the pool and rest.”
However, Li Cheng did not write off the kilometers he owed. Every day in the future, he would train two kilometers more than the others in the morning and at night to slowly make up for the 40 kilometers.
Xiao Yiheng asked: “When you contacted me before, you had to secretly avoid your roommates. Why are you calling me today?”
“They’re all out.”
Li Cheng sighed, “Didn’t they announce the final list today? Our dormitory has three diving teams. Only Chen Miao is on the list.
The other two roommates are leaving tomorrow. They’re not in a good mood, so Chen Miao accompanied them to the field to relax. ”
Sports competition was cruel. Just as Coach Yu said, if you were eliminated, it was not because you were not good enough. It was because the other contestants were better than you.
If they wanted to stay and stand on the glorious podium, they would have to shed blood and tears that ordinary people could not imagine.
Li Cheng specially exchanged contact information with the other two roommates. He promised to visit them in their cities if he had the chance.
However, everyone knew that the month they spent on the training team might be the only time they interacted with each other. Some people, once they said goodbye, would never meet again.
Xiao Yiheng heard Li Cheng’s heavy tone and quickly changed the topic. They talked about Youyou and Xiao Lingmeng.
After Li Cheng left Hua Cheng, Xiao Yiheng would visit Youyou every once in a while.
Youyou liked Xiao Yiheng very much. She often told him about her five boyfriends. Xiao Yiheng was always amazed by this little girl’s ability.
Youyou had a sweet mouth. Every time she opened her mouth, she would say “sister-in-law”. Xiao Yiheng corrected her a few times, but in the end, he still acquiesced to this title.
As for Xiao Lingmeng, after a month, it grew fatter (crossed out). It was round and chubby. Its white fur covered its body, making it look like a toy made of snow.
Youyou would take it for a walk on the lawn downstairs every night. When the duckling walked, the tip of its white tail swayed left and right. No matter who saw it, they would want to touch it.
Li Cheng recalled Xiao Lingmeng’s touch and his heart itched. Unfortunately, he was more than a thousand kilometers away from it!
He decided to eat the Cantonese roast duck provided by the cafeteria tomorrow afternoon to express his thoughts of Xiao Lingmeng.
After talking about the duck, the topic turned back to Xiao Yiheng.
Li Cheng asked, “Are you guys going to have your final exam?”
“Yes.”
Xiao Yiheng replied, “The final exam is next Monday. This time, it’s a city-wide exam. The results will be out in about three days. After the city-wide rankings are out, we’ll have a break.”
Li Cheng immediately became excited when he heard this. “So, you’re going to Hua Cheng after the break?
We’ll be able to meet then? ”
“No, I’ll go after the exam.”
Xiao Yiheng’s chuckle was transmitted over the radio. “It’s a waste of time to stay and wait for the city-wide rankings. I’ll definitely be first in the city.”
“…”
Li Cheng quickly went online to search for the number of examinees in Hua Cheng. One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand … damn, seventy thousand!
How confident was he to be first in the city among seventy thousand examinees?
Li Cheng muttered to himself, “When other people find a partner, it’s’ one in ten thousand ‘. But my boyfriend is’ one in seventy thousand ‘…”
“One in ten thousand?” Xiao Yiheng deliberately misinterpreted his meaning. “Then you really have to choose carefully.”
Li Cheng understood the meaning behind his words and blushed again.
Li Cheng coughed and changed the topic. “But will your parents agree to you coming to the capital in advance?”
Li Cheng had experienced Mother Xiao’s power. Xiao Yiheng had such controlling parents. It was really not easy for him to survive until now without going astray.
“They can’t even take care of themselves now. They don’t have time to care about me.”
Xiao Yiheng’s tone was indifferent. “My father has a ‘little problem’ at work. Because of this, the two of them had a big fight. Recently, he hasn’t been home and has been living directly at school.
Now, all my mother’s energy is focused on him. She doesn’t have time to ‘control’ me. ”
Xiao Yiheng directly used the word “control”. Li Cheng felt distressed when he heard this and hurriedly comforted him.
Li Cheng felt that although his parents died early, he had always lived in an environment full of love. Xiao Yiheng was the opposite. Although his parents were still alive, he had never experienced the warmth of his parents for a second in his life.
The two of them chatted for a long time. Li Cheng swam more than ten kilometers in one go today and was close to his limit. In fact, he was so tired that his eyelids were drooping.
However, Li Cheng cherished this rare opportunity to talk and was reluctant to hang up the phone.
“Actually … I still have something to worry about.” Li Cheng rubbed his eyes and yawned.
Xiao Yiheng asked what it was.
“It’s about Coach Yu!”
Li Cheng said in distress. “She is a coach and I am a student. As a student, I didn’t trust the coach and even questioned her in public … In the end, everything was just my imagination. She even promoted me to be the team leader … Although she punished me by swimming forty kilometers, I think she must still be angry.”
“No, I think it’s the opposite.” Xiao Yiheng said, “I think Coach Yu has never been angry with you from the beginning to the end.”
“What?”
Xiao Yiheng helped him analyze. “Although I haven’t met Coach Yu, from your description, I think she is a very professional coach. She seems to be cold, but in fact, she cares a lot about her athletes.
Chengcheng, I have always felt that there is a burning flame in your body. The flame contains your shortcomings: impulsiveness, aggressiveness, and straightforwardness. However, at the same time, it also contains your various strengths. You strive to be the first in everything, refuse to compromise, and don’t want to fall behind others … Aren’t these characteristics what athletes need?
I believe that Coach Yu must have seen these. That’s why she chose you to be the team leader. She hoped that you could lead the other team members.
As for your questioning of her, it is very consistent with your personality. She must have expected it. Therefore, I am sure that she will not be angry. ”
Li Cheng didn’t understand. “Then if she is not angry, why did she punish me by swimming forty kilometers?”
“Because she wants to give the other team members an explanation.”
Xiao Yiheng analyzed. “A coach must maintain absolute authority. If she doesn’t punish you today, then in the future, other team members will follow your example and disobey her orders.”
Li Cheng said, “Oh.” He felt that these rules were too complicated.
He just wanted to swim to his heart’s content. Why was it so difficult?!
However, fortunately, with Xiao Yiheng’s detailed analysis, Li Cheng could finally put down the big rock in his heart. The awkwardness that followed him like a shadow also faded away.
Li Ge was now the official team leader of the national swimming team!
Perhaps, there would be many, many opportunities for interviews. He would appear on TV and let the whole world see him walk up the podium with the gold medal in his hand!
Hehe, he wanted to tell this good news to Big Huang and the others and let them be envious. You would definitely be happy for him. Hu Ge, and …
After the psychological pressure disappeared, Li Cheng felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier … Heavier and heavier …
He whimpered. His phone slipped from his palm and fell next to his pillow.
The sound of his steady breathing was transmitted through the radio to Hua Cheng, which was thousands of miles away.
Xiao Yiheng quietly listened to Li Cheng’s breathing. His heartbeat also gradually slowed down along with the sound of his breathing.
The desk lamp cast a bright light on the desk. Xiao Yiheng got up and took out a thick sketchbook from the depths of the bookcase. He opened it on the desk.
If Li Cheng was here, he would find this sketchbook very familiar. Xiao Yiheng used it when he was Xiao Yiheng’s model.
However, at that time, he only drew a few pages in the sketchbook. Now, he had already flipped to the end of the thick book.
Accompanied by the sound of breathing from the phone, Xiao Yiheng picked up the pen and left a gentle ink dot on the sketchbook.
