This Omega is Sweet and Wild - Chap 98
Chap 98
Li Cheng reported the incident to Coach Yu. Coach Yu took it very seriously and immediately reported it to the person in charge of the team. The person in charge complained to the organizing committee and protested against the behavior of the Ao country athlete, Alexander.
However … as Li Cheng expected, Li Cheng did not report the incident to the referee immediately. Now that the game was over, there was no evidence at all. The matter could only be left unsettled.
Not only that, but the organizing committee also did something that was suffocating. They issued a notice and called the coaches and two athletes from both sides to the office. They wanted everyone to communicate face to face. “Friendship first, competition second. Resolve the conflict and clear up the misunderstanding as soon as possible.”
When Li Cheng saw the notice, he was so angry that he wanted to laugh. Misunderstanding?
What misunderstanding?
He had been attacked by an athlete from Ao country with a pheromone on the field. This was already a naked provocation. Did they expect him to be magnanimous and say “it’s okay”?
Ao country’s organizing committee was really bad at everything. They were the best at smoothing things over.
Li Cheng did not go to that ridiculous mediation meeting at all. Coach Yu told him to train hard and that she would be his representative.
As a result, when Coach Yu came back, he was so angry that his whole face turned blue. It turned out that the Ao country swimming coach had said that Li Cheng was deliberately framing him!
Because the two athletes had conflicts before, Li Cheng held a grudge in his heart. In this semi-final, Li Cheng ranked second, so he felt unfair and deliberately slandered him, falsely accusing the Ao country athlete.
The coach even “magnanimously” said a series of words and asked the interpreter to translate. “I know that as an Omega, Li Cheng has worked very hard to get here.
However, the game is the fairest. You can’t take your anger out on an innocent Alpha player just because he lost a game, right? ”
Coach Yu immediately rebuked this ridiculous statement.
Ao country was the host country of this Sports Meet. The organizing committee favored their own athletes and even acquiesced to the coach’s words!
Sure enough, they were in cahoots. To be able to cultivate a piece of trash like Alexander, his coach was not a good person either.
Coach Yu didn’t hide this verbal battle from Li Cheng. After Li Cheng heard it, he was so angry that his hair stood on end.
Coach Yu sat across from Li Cheng and said calmly, “Li Cheng, do you know why I chose you to be the captain of the swimming team?”
Li Cheng was taken aback, because … he had never considered this problem before.
Li Cheng was an Omega. His gender made him the center of attention in the pool. Everyone was looking at him. They wanted to see with their own eyes if this Omega could break the norm and create a miracle.
Li Cheng asked, “Isn’t it because of my good grades?”
Coach Yu said, “You’re not the only one with good results on the swimming team.
Zhou Jian’s results are also very good. Like you, he is also a seed to win the championship. He is even an Alpha. If I want to find a reliable person, Zhou Jian is definitely more reliable than you. ”
“Then why …”
“Because you don’t want to admit defeat.”
Coach Yu looked straight into Li Cheng’s eyes. “You are the Omega with the strongest desire to win I’ve ever seen.
Some people have a strong desire to win and can’t afford to lose. They become paranoid and like to get into a dead end.
But you won’t. Your desire to win is not annoying. Instead, it is very convincing. As long as you look into your eyes, everyone will believe that you are destined to be the champion. ”
Coach Yu still remembered that on the first day of the training, Li Cheng had successfully made it to the swimming team. Whether it was the Alpha or Beta, they all liked him very much.
He had a natural cohesive force that made people involuntarily want to follow him forward.
At that time, Coach Yu was sure that Li Cheng would be the best candidate for the captain.
“Li Cheng, remember your anger and unwillingness. Before you stand on the podium, there will be all kinds of slander surrounding you … You have to keep swimming forward. Don’t stop. You will become the world champion.”
Li Cheng nodded solemnly.
He would, he definitely would!
Just as Coach Yu and Li Cheng were having a heart-to-heart talk, the atmosphere in the athletes’ dormitory area of Ao Country was particularly tense.
Alexander was sitting by his bed in the dormitory. When he saw his coach push the door open, he immediately got up to greet him.
He did not attend the mediation meeting. His coach told him to stay in the dormitory. He could only play with his phone for a long time.
“Coach, what’s the result of the mediation meeting?” Alexander asked.
“I told the organizing committee that the Omega athlete had a conflict with you before. He lost the competition this time and held a grudge in his heart. That’s why he falsely accused you,” the head coach of Ao Country’s swimming team replied.
“The organizing committee believed him?”
“Of course,” his coach said.
“That Omega has no evidence. Of course, something without evidence never happened.”
Alexander laughed and said yes proudly.
“That’s enough. Restrain yourself!”
The coach scolded angrily. “Is there something wrong with your brain? If you fight in private, I will never criticize you. But why do you have to fight on the field?”
Alexander said impatiently, “Do I need a reason to dislike him?
Isn’t Hua Country very good at high platform diving? Why would an Omega from Hua Country go to the speed pool instead of diving?
The speed competition is the Alpha’s territory. I don’t want to see a yellow-skinned monkey jumping around me. Is that wrong? ”
“Yellow-skinned monkey?
Why don’t you go and see the result of that ‘yellow-skinned monkey’? He was only 0.03 seconds slower than you! “The coach’s face was livid.” Alexander, do you know why the organizing committee is biased towards you? ”
“Because there is no evidence.”
“No, because the chairman of the organizing committee is my old colleague!
And you are the future champion that I promised them! “The coach’s face was dark.” Alexander, you have caused too much trouble.
If you continue to be so arrogant and lose the championship, I can guarantee that the organizing committee will never protect you again! ”
Alexander frowned, and his expression instantly became extremely ugly.
An Asian Omega wanted to covet the championship?
He was going to make that arrogant Omega leave the pool crying!
On the third day of the official competition, Li Cheng was in high spirits and in great condition.
He was not affected by Alexander’s despicable behavior.
A few hours before the final competition passed in the blink of an eye. Breakfast, warm-ups, player check-ins, Li Cheng, led by the coach, was very busy.
The competition schedule was very tight. The four single short-distance events were held today, and the men’s and women’s teams crossed each other.
In the lounge, Li Cheng and several other teammates who specialized in short-distance events sat quietly in the corner. They didn’t speak to each other, silently adjusting their state of mind.
Not far away, the athletes of Ao Country gathered together and wantonly told jokes loudly.
As they talked, they pointed in the direction of the athletes of Hua Country. Alexander stared at Li Cheng’s naked body unscrupulously and made all kinds of obscene moves towards him.
Li Cheng turned a blind eye to all of it.
He knew that Alexander was deliberately provoking him, so he couldn’t fall into his trap.
A large screen hung on the wall of the lounge, broadcasting the competition live.
Soon, the short-distance events for the other swimming styles were over. Li Cheng looked at the medal count on the screen, and his expression wasn’t relaxed.
In this competition, the Hua Country swimming team had suffered an unexpected blow. The swimmers were young, and it was their first time participating in such a world-class competition in a foreign country. It was inevitable that they were nervous, and it affected their performance.
In some events, they could have entered the finals, but they made mistakes in the semifinals and didn’t make it. In some events, they could have won a medal, but in the end, they missed the medal by a hair’s breadth.
So, until now, the Hua Country swimming team hadn’t “opened” yet!
Not to mention a gold medal, they didn’t even see a bronze medal!
Under these circumstances, Li Cheng, who was thought to be the champion by the entire team, was under a lot of pressure.
He was the captain of the swimming team. If he could win the championship, it would naturally boost the team’s morale and become a role model for everyone. But if he didn’t win the championship and only got a silver or bronze medal, then …
The 200-meter competition was about to start. Before he went on the court, the other swimmers of the swimming team came to the lounge to cheer Li Cheng on.
Coach Yu looked serious. As the “commander” of the swimming team, her pressure came from the leaders of the Sports Bureau.
Until now, the swimming team hadn’t won a single medal. She had to withstand the pressure and couldn’t pass this anxiety on to the other swimmers.
Coach Yu said, “Li Cheng, stay calm. Don’t worry about how the others are doing. Just swim at your own pace.”
The other swimmers didn’t have the same attitude as the coach. They all looked conflicted. Zhou Jian looked at Li Cheng and wanted to say something, but stopped. It was as if Li Cheng wasn’t going on the court, but to the execution ground.
“Don’t worry, everyone.”
Li Cheng raised his hand and touched the hair of a female swimmer who was crying. His eyes seemed to be burning with fire, and the words that came out of his mouth were unquestionable. “I’m definitely going to be the champion of this competition!”
At six o ‘clock in the morning, Xiao Yiheng’s phone under his pillow vibrated gently. The alarm rang.
He turned over and got up. His eyes were clear, and there wasn’t a trace of confusion in them.
He turned off the alarm and got out of bed quietly. He didn’t disturb his sleeping roommates.
All the students of the Academy of Fine Arts had to live in the same dormitory. The eight-person dormitory was very small.
It was Xiao Yiheng’s first time living in a student dormitory. But he adapted well and soon became familiar with his roommates.
He got up early. His roommates were still asleep. He picked up his phone and didn’t bother to wash up. He put on his down jacket and tiptoed out of the room to the corridor of the dormitory.
Today was the big day of Li Cheng’s 200m competition. Xiao Yiheng specially set his alarm and got up to watch it.
There was no heater in the corridor, and it was freezing cold. Xiao Yiheng shrank into his down jacket and zipped it up.
He opened the news video app, put on his headphones, and tuned to the sports channel. The host was remotely connected to the live commentator to analyze the situation of the competition.
The commentators for this match were a man and a woman. The man was a veteran sports commentator, while the woman was a famous retired player. When the two talked about today’s match, there was a hint of heaviness in their voices.
The male commentator: “Today, the Hua Country team didn’t perform well. They lost the first match. Several players who could have won medals made mistakes. It’s a pity.”
The female commentator: “Actually, I can understand their nervousness. When I first participated in an international competition, I was just an adult. It was an away game, and there were almost no people from Hua Country.
After the first match, I came out of the pool and cried in the coach’s arms. I was very grateful that the coach didn’t give up on me at that time. ”
The host asked, “The next match is the 200m competition. This time, the contestant is Li Cheng, who is very popular among the netizens. In your opinion, is Li Cheng’s chance of winning the competition high?”
The two commentators were silent for a few seconds.
The male commentator was the first to speak. “Li Cheng is 17 years old. As an athlete, his physical fitness is just beginning to explode, and he hasn’t reached his peak yet.
The peak age of a swimmer is between 22 and 25 years old, but this is based on the data of Alpha and Beta athletes. Li Cheng is an extremely rare Omega athlete. We can’t tell what kind of result he will get in this competition. ”
Although he didn’t say it directly, his tone was full of distrust.
The host: “According to the information we have here, after the swimming team announced the captain, there was a lot of controversy within the Sports Bureau about whether Li Cheng could be the captain.
But in the end, the head coach of the swimming team persuaded the leaders of the Sports Bureau. Not only did Li Cheng become the captain of the swimming team, but he also became the flag bearer of the opening ceremony. ”
The female commentator suddenly said, “I think the opposite. I think Li Cheng has the potential to win the competition.
I forgot to mention that when I participated in my first international competition, Coach Yu led the team. She is a very experienced and insightful coach, and she has full trust in the team members.
With my result in my first competition, I wouldn’t have had the chance to compete again under any other coach.
But Coach Yu stood her ground and asked me to compete again. In the end, I won the championship in the second match, and then I got to where I am now … I believe that Li Cheng must have his shining points. The competition hasn’t started yet, so let’s not give him a predetermined result. Let’s just wait and see how he performs. ”
The female commentator’s words touched Xiao Yiheng’s heart. He knew that Li Cheng was the hope of the whole team. He hoped that more people could trust him, encourage him, and watch him climb to the top.
Soon, the competition was about to start.
The broadcast studio and the commentator were disconnected, and the whole screen was cut to the competition venue.
The male and female commentators’ voices became more serious.
“Now is the time for the athletes to enter the venue. Ao Country is a strong country in speed swimming. Three of the ten finalists are from Ao Country.
As we can see, the audience is all from Ao Country. ”
The broadcast director cut to the panoramic view of the swimming pool. Just as the commentator said, the entire audience was filled with the national flag of Ao Country.
“Hua Country’s swimming team is competing in an away game, and it’s at six o ‘clock in China. Their biological clocks are disrupted, which will affect their performance.”
The female commentator paused. “Li Cheng placed second in the semi-finals, and he is on the sixth lane. The fifth lane to his left is the first place of the semi-finals, and he is from Ao Country, Alexander.
He is a very famous short-course freestyle swimmer among the younger generation in Ao Country. This is not his first international competition. ”
The camera cut to the exit of the waiting room.
The competition had not started yet, but Alexander raised the national flag of Ao Country in advance, as if he had already won the competition.
He walked out of the waiting room proudly and waved to the audience, which attracted wave after wave of cheers.
The person who came out right after him was Li Cheng.
Li Cheng was in the “enemy camp.” There were almost no black-haired and black-eyed compatriots in the audience, but he was calm and composed. There was a big smile on his face, and he looked like a general wearing a battle robe with a sports jacket.
Xiao Yiheng subconsciously reached out and touched the screen. His fingertips slid across Li Cheng’s smile, as if he had really touched his lover.
Li Cheng walked to the starting point of the sixth lane and stopped. He took off his jacket and slippers, put on his swimming cap and goggles, and shook his hands and feet.
Alexander on the fifth lane looked at Li Cheng. They did not speak to each other, but the camera clearly captured the confrontation in their eyes.
The male commentator said, “Ah, it seems that the two swimmers have a strong smell of poison.”
The female commentator said, “In the semi-finals, the difference between the two was 0.03. Li Cheng is a big threat to Alexander.”
“Alexander is an Alpha, right?”
“Yes, the Ao Country swimming team sent out an all Alpha lineup this time.”
“Student Li Cheng must be under a lot of pressure.”
The two commentators chatted for a while, and finally, the competition was about to start.
The ten swimmers stood on the starting point and got into their jumping positions.
First, the preparatory whistle sounded. Ten seconds later, the referee officially blew the starting whistle!!
The audience’s eyes blurred, and the ten swimmers had already entered the water at the same time!!
This was a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye!
The commentator’s commentary sounded at the same time.
The female commentator praised, “Li Cheng’s performance is very good. His jumping speed is very fast, and his condition is much better than when he was in the domestic competition.”
The male commentator said, “Contestant Li Cheng has his own rhythm. As we can see, he is now in second place, half an arm’s length away from the first place Alexander. The third place is a swimmer from Canada, and the gap between him and Li Cheng is not big. Very good, Li Cheng touched the wall and turned around!”
“Beautiful!
Very beautiful! ”
The female commentator became more and more excited. “Li Cheng is an Omega. In terms of explosive power, he is slightly inferior to Alpah, but his technical level is very high.
As we can see, his jumping reaction and turning speed are very fast. Among the swimmers of his age group, his technical level is the best. ”
The 200-meter long pool was very fast. In the finals, all the swimmers did not hold back. They showed their true abilities from the beginning and chased after each other as they advanced towards the finish line.
After the 100m jump, Li Cheng touched the wall for the second time and turned around. The top right corner of the screen showed the results of the top three swimmers. At this time, Li Cheng was only 0.01 seconds away from the first place Alexander!!
0.01, only 0.01!!
The female commentator shouted excitedly, “0.01 seconds!!!
Li Cheng!!!
Li Cheng!!!
Yes, yes, yes, this medal is here!!! ”
As long as Li Cheng maintained this speed, he would at least get a silver medal!!
This would be the first medal for the Hua Country Swimming Team in this competition!!
The male commentator also became excited. “Li Cheng has started to accelerate. His legs are splashing. Excellent, excellent. Li Cheng is accelerating. Alexander is also accelerating. There are still 70m, 60m, 50m left!!”
In front of the screen, Xiao Yiheng could not help but hold his breath. He could not breathe at all. All of his attention was focused on the small figure on the screen.
The camera overlooked the entire pool from above. The ten swimmers had already pulled apart. The two swimmers in the middle of the pool were at the front. They were a full body length ahead of the rest of the swimmers and formed a beautiful “V” shape!
Too fast. They were swimming too fast.
Li Cheng alternated between his arms. He was about ten centimeters shorter than Alexander and had shorter arms. This meant that the distance he could move forward with each stroke was much smaller than Alexander.
He could only increase his speed. From the camera, it did not look like he was swimming. It looked like he was flying on the surface of the water!
He was floating on the surface of the water and his arms were his wings!
The last 50m, the last 50m. Li Cheng touched the wall for the last time and turned around!
He curled up his legs and kicked hard. He used the technique that he had honed over 10,000 times to overtake his opponent!!
Yes, Li Cheng overtook his opponent!
“He overtook him!!”
The female commentator shouted at the top of her lungs. “With the last turn, Li Cheng is in first place!!!
Li Cheng!!!
First place!!!
Steady!!
Keep going!!! ”
However, this was not the only surprise that Li Cheng brought to the audience.
When there were only 50m left in front of Li Cheng, he did not realize that at the same time, an invisible yellow line had appeared in front of his arms!
This yellow line could not be seen by the swimmers or the audience. Only the viewers and commentators in front of the TV could see it.
That was the record line.
The yellow record line represented the highest record in a competition. The ultimate goal of every swimmer was not to win the championship, but to break that invisible record. Break that record line and use your own results to set a new record!
Then, carve your name into the history of this competition.
In front of the phone screen, Xiao Yiheng clenched his fists. His whole body tensed up involuntarily.
It was the record line … It was the record line … His Cheng was about to break the competition record!
That record line was set by a European swimmer eight years ago. At that time, that swimmer had amazed the world with a single brilliant feat.
Now, that swimmer had become an internationally famous “Champion Harvester” with many Olympic gold medals in his hands.
If Li Cheng could break the record that he had left behind, did that mean that Li Cheng would also be able to achieve greater heights in the future? Would he be able to walk into the Olympic Games and become the focus of attention?
40m, 30m, 20m, 20m …
Li Cheng was getting closer and closer to the yellow line …
The male commentator’s voice was hoarse as he shouted, “Come on, Li Cheng!!!
Just a little bit more!!!
Li Cheng!!!!
Just half an arm away … Just a palm away, half a palm away — he has surpassed it!!!
He has surpassed it!!!
Li Cheng has surpassed it!!!!! ”
Li Cheng — — had surpassed it!
With one last stroke, Li Cheng’s legs pushed forward violently. His entire right arm went beyond the yellow line. At the same time, Li Cheng touched the wall!!
Li Cheng had surpassed the record set by a European swimmer eight years ago by a full arm’s length. He had won this hard-won championship!!
In the waiting room, all the swimmers from Hua Country’s swimming team hugged each other. Almost everyone was crying tears of joy. The Hua Country’s swimming team had finally won their first medal in this year’s World High School Games. Moreover, it was a gold medal that broke the competition record!
In the swimming pool, Li Cheng floated up to the surface. Before he could look at the electronic screen, he heard countless shouts of “Congratulations!
new record！”
No matter how bad Li Cheng’s English was, he could still understand these three words!!
His eyes widened in disbelief as he trembled slightly in the water.
He had used all his strength in this competition. From the corner of his eye, he could see that Alexander had been speeding up. All he could do was try his best to catch up.
Unexpectedly, not only had he caught up, surpassed, and even broken the competition record!!
He had no time to care about the expression of his defeated opponent. His entire being was enveloped in ecstasy.
He … he had really won.
He had really realized his dream!
Seventeen years ago, a boy was born on the water. The sea was his home.
Eight years ago, this boy lost his parents forever. However, he didn’t lose his dream of swimming.
Five years ago, he bought candy for his little sister and participated in his first swimming competition to earn money.
Three years ago, he became an Omega.
Even though no one thought highly of him, he still walked down this career path with determination.
But now, this Omega boy stood at the top of the world. He had broken all prejudices, all mistrust, and all doubts. He had used his own strength to prove that he was outstanding enough.
His name would be engraved in the history of this competition. His name would represent an unsurpassable record.
In every competition in the future, there would be a new generation of youngsters chasing the yellow line that he represented.
He was fully deserving of the title of world champion.
The world would remember his name.
— — His name was Li Cheng.
Hua Country’s capital.
Xiao Yiheng watched Li Cheng’s results appear on the big screen. The glittering gold medal appeared in front of his name.
Alpha chuckled and murmured, “My boyfriend is so outstanding. If I don’t work hard, I won’t be worthy of him.”
