This Omega is Sweet and Wild - Chap 99
Chap 99
Li Cheng dizzily jumped out of the pool. He was overwhelmed by an indescribable ecstasy — — he was the champion!
World champion!
Moreover, he was the champion who broke the competition record!
Coach Yu immediately came up to him with a towel and a jacket. She wrapped him up.
Li Cheng had used up all his strength during the competition, so he was a little shaky when he walked. Coach Yu stealthily supported him and held his arm tightly.
“Coach, did I really break the record?” Li Cheng laughed so hard that the corners of his mouth were sore.
Coach Yu had a rare smile on her face, “Of course. You swam even better than during training. Just now, the leader of the Sports Bureau called me. They also watched the live broadcast in China and were very satisfied with your performance.”
Li Cheng felt like he was a balloon filled with hydrogen. If it weren’t for Coach Yu, he would have flown into the air!
However, praise and whatnot aside, what Li Cheng wanted to know more was — “Coach, how much was the reward for winning the championship previously?
Breaking the record is much harder than winning the championship. They should at least give me double the reward! ”
Coach Yu: “… …”
Coach Yu had never seen such a money-grubbing world champion.
She whispered a number to Li Cheng and asked him, “Little champion, are you satisfied now?”
Although the World High School Games was an international competition, there was still a gap between the Olympic Games and the World Championships.
Therefore, the Sports Bureau didn’t give a lot of rewards to the champion of the World High School Games. A gold medal was 250,000 yuan.
In addition to winning the championship, Li Cheng also broke the record, so the reward was doubled. That was 500,000 yuan in cash.
There was no need to pay taxes. 500,000 yuan in real money!
When Li Cheng and Youyou were in the orphanage, they didn’t even have 5 yuan in pocket money. Later, when they participated in the city-level provincial competition, the school would give them a reward of 10,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan if they won the championship … But now, it was 500,000 yuan, a whole 500,000 yuan!
Li Cheng’s eyes were almost bigger than the medals. He said “Holy sh * t” several times in a row and was so excited that he wished he could swim two more laps in the water.
He still remembered that when Xiao Yiheng ranked first in the city in the comprehensive exam, a private elite school wanted to recruit him. At that time, they offered a “sky-high price” of 500,000 yuan, but Xiao Yiheng rejected them.
At that time, Li Cheng felt sorry for Xiao Yiheng. Who would have thought that Li Cheng would be able to earn 500,000 yuan now!
He heard that painting was a very expensive profession. The paints were expensive and useless, but it didn’t matter. In the future, he would be responsible for earning money to support the family. Xiao Yiheng could buy whatever paints he wanted, and he could use whatever drawing paper he wanted … Aiya, it was really a wonderful life for a man to farm and a man to weave.
When Coach Yu saw Li Cheng giggling, he couldn’t help but pat him. “Stop laughing. You’re drooling.”
Li Cheng subconsciously touched the corner of his mouth and said indifferently, “Is the saliva of a champion called saliva? It’s called dragon saliva!”
Coach Yu: “…”
When the two of them arrived at the interview area, they were immediately surrounded by a sea of flashing lights.
Separated by the fence, the reporters desperately stretched out their arms and handed them to the new champion who had broken the competition record.
At the front of the line were a few Hua Country reporters. They had familiar black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin. They looked particularly friendly.
“Li Cheng, you broke the competition record. How are you feeling now?”
“Li Cheng, look over here!
This is your first international championship, and it’s also the first gold medal that the Chinese swimming team will win in this international competition. Do you have anything to share with us about the two ‘zero breakthroughs’? ”
“Li Cheng, as the captain of the swimming team, I heard that you will also be leading your team in the 4×100 men’s and women’s mixed swimming competition. Are you confident that you can win another championship?”
“Li Cheng, Omega has always been a rare sight in speed competitions.
You are the first Omega captain in the history of the Hua Country’s swimming team. You are also the first Omega swimmer to win a championship and even break the competition record. Can you talk about your journey in front of the camera? ”
Li Cheng took the initiative to answer these questions. If he couldn’t answer, Coach Yu would answer for him.
Although this was Li Cheng’s first interview with the media, he wasn’t nervous at all. He appeared natural and unrestrained in front of the camera and was very confident.
At this moment, a foreign reporter finally broke through the encirclement and handed the microphone in his hand to Li Cheng. He mumbled a string of English words, and the team interpreter beside him hurriedly translated his words.
“Li Cheng, this reporter said that before the competition, your opponent Alexander said in an interview with a reporter from Ao Country that he was confident that he could beat you and let you know that the 200m championship belongs to the people of Ao Country.
What do you think about his words? ”
Li Cheng was stunned. He didn’t expect Alexander to be so good at talking. The competition hadn’t even started yet, and he already said that he would beat Li Cheng.
In the face of his opponent’s provocation, Li Cheng shrugged and said in a relaxed tone, “Reporter, you asked me what I think?
You should ask him what he thinks after he loses the competition. ”
Before Li Cheng finished speaking, there was a commotion behind him.
He looked back. Speak of the devil — Alexander’s face was very ugly. He didn’t even wipe the water off his body and walked quickly from the pool. The national flag that he held in his hand before the competition started was nowhere to be seen.
He had a towel over his head, silently indicating that he didn’t want to be disturbed.
His coach walked next to him, and his face was also pale.
There was no communication between the two, and the atmosphere was extremely cold.
Alexander’s appearance instantly excited the reporters.
They immediately turned the camera, shouted Alexander’s name, and asked him if he had anything to say about the loss of the competition.
Those questions were like sharp knives, directly inserted into Alexander’s body.
Alexander’s terrible expression was in sharp contrast to Li Cheng’s complacent expression.
Alexander turned a deaf ear to the reporters’ questions. He walked quickly through the reporters’ cameras, but when he passed by Li Cheng, he deliberately paused, and his eyes narrowed on Li Cheng.
“Li Cheng, I’ll remember your name.”
Alexander’s voice seemed to be forced out from his throat. “Don’t be complacent. There is still a competition between us.”
He spoke in English, and Li Cheng couldn’t understand him.
But Li Cheng could guess what he was talking about with his toes — he must be talking tough. After the hero defeated the villain in the movie, he would shout, “I’ll be back!”
Li Cheng was tired of this kind of scene.
But it didn’t matter. Li Cheng liked to see the loser’s final struggle.
The coach of Ao Country frowned, pushed Alexander’s shoulder, and urged him to leave the interview area quickly.
The reporters had a keen sense of smell, and had already filmed this scene. It could be expected that it wouldn’t be long before the explosive news appeared in the newspaper.
After Alexander returned to the dormitory, he threw the towel on his head to the ground.
“F * ck!” He shouted, “F * ck!!
How can an Asian Omega win the championship!! ”
The coach slammed the door, hiding his voice in the bedroom. He sternly reminded him, “Alexander, can you control your emotions?!
As an athlete, calm is the most important thing. Don’t let anything affect your performance!
I’m your coach. Do you think I can’t see that your speed in the first half of the race was faster than your normal speed? That’s why you didn’t have the strength to sprint in the second half of the race and failed to accelerate!
Why did you change your tactics?
Just because of that Li Cheng? ”
The more the coach spoke, the angrier he became. He threw profanities at Alexander. “Will anyone remember the second place?
No, never!
You won the second place. Do you know what all the news will say?
An athlete from Ao Country won the second place in a competition held by Ao Country!
The funniest thing is that he told the reporters before the race that he would win the championship!
You are a loser. No one will remember the name of a loser! ”
Alexander wanted to roar, to argue, to vent his anger, but it was useless for him to say anything now.
Sports competitions were all about results, and this mistake in the competition had dealt an extraordinary blow to his dignity.
He was used to being high and mighty. He had always been the star of Ao Country’s swimming scene. Before the start of the competition, the coach even told him that if he won the gold medal, he would be recommended to the national team to participate in the higher-level Olympic Games and World Championships.
How could he stop here?
His eyes were fierce, and he choked out a sentence from the bottom of his throat. “There is still a team competition. At that time, I will show the people of Hua Country how good I am!”
Many teachers and students of Huacheng No. 1 High School were waiting in front of the TV. After learning that Li Cheng had won the world championship, the principal immediately sent people to make banners and hang them on the school gate.
Now there were two banners on the gate of Huacheng No. 1 High School.
One of them read, “Congratulations to our student Li Cheng for winning the world championship.” The other one read, “Congratulations to our student Xiao Yiheng for winning the first place in the city.”
The two banners stood side by side, one on the top and one on the bottom.
This was the first time that Li Cheng and Xiao Yiheng’s names appeared at the same time, but it would definitely not be the last time.
After Li Cheng won the championship, his phone didn’t stop ringing for the whole day.
All the people he knew sent him congratulatory messages and invited him to celebrate when he returned to China.
Especially his group of followers, all of them were proud of him, as if they were the ones who had won the world championship.
He opened his WeChat Moments and was flooded with congratulatory messages. “Congratulations to Big Brother Li Cheng for winning the world championship!” People who didn’t know better would think that they had entered the nest of WeChat merchants.
After Li Cheng came down from the podium, his whole body was dizzy. He couldn’t even remember if he had said thank you to the winner.
He held up the gold medal and took a lot of fancy selfies, but he was too embarrassed to post them on his WeChat Moments because it would show how much he cared about a mere medal. (Li Cheng’s inner OS: I care so much!)
In the end, he sent all these selfies to Xiao Yiheng.
Li Licheng: [Fancy Selfie] .jpgx10
Li Licheng: The provincial gold medals are all fake. The bronze medals are plated with a layer of gold.
The international gold medals are more valuable. Look, there are marks on them when I bite them lightly.
Perseverance: It looks good.
When Li Cheng discovered the little secret on the medal, he immediately wanted to share his joy with his boyfriend. In the end, his boyfriend only replied with two words and a punctuation mark. It was really perfunctory.
Li Licheng: You only said it looks good???
You’re too perfunctory!!
Li Licheng: [Man, you have a change of heart] .jpg
Perseverance: Wait a moment, I’m working on it.
Li Licheng:??
Li Licheng: What are you doing?
Li Licheng: Why don’t I understand what you’re saying?
Xiao Yiheng didn’t reply for a long time this time.
Twenty minutes later.
Perseverance: I’m done.
Perseverance: Chengcheng’s photos are really good, especially the one where he’s biting the gold medal.
Perseverance: [Smile]
Li Cheng: “…”
F * ck.
Li Cheng understood what he was doing just now!!
Li Cheng pressed the record button and angrily scolded him: “Xiao Yiheng, why are you always thinking about that kind of thing?
I sent you the photos because … because … in short, I didn’t want you to do that kind of thing! ”
Xiao Yiheng also replied with a voice message. His voice sounded a bit aggrieved: “But you weren’t wearing any clothes in the photos you sent me.”
Li Cheng: “…”
Li Cheng: “I was wearing swimming trunks!
I just didn’t take a photo of my lower body! ”
Xiao Yiheng: “Oh?
Chengcheng wants to send me a photo of your lower body? ”
Damn, there really wasn’t a good Alpha.
Just as the young couple was quietly talking over the phone, they didn’t know that somewhere in the capital of Hua Country, an earthquake that could change their fate was about to happen.
Academic Affairs Office of a key university in Hua Country.
“What did you say?
Impossible, it’s impossible! ”
Xiao Yiheng’s mother got up from the sofa in shock and looked at the staff behind the desk: “My son received the winter camp notice from your school. As early as two weeks ago, he set off to report. Now you’re telling me that my son isn’t in the school at all? Where did you take my son?”
Xiao Yiheng’s father wasn’t as agitated as his wife.
He was wearing a well-ironed suit, his hair was neatly combed with hair oil, and his face was trying hard to maintain a calm expression.
“Teacher, you must be mistaken.” Xiao Yiheng’s father said, “My son’s name is Xiao Yiheng. The word ‘Xiao’ means grass, and the word ‘Yi’ means perseverance.
He’s the top scorer of this year’s Hua Cheng comprehensive exam … ”
The staff responsible for receiving the couple rolled his eyes in his heart. Their school was second to none in the country. How many top scorers were there every year?
However, the top scorer of the comprehensive mock exam was still worthy of being mentioned by the couple more than ten times.
No matter how many complaints he had in his heart, the staff still answered them for the nth time: “I already know the situation you two are talking about.
I did find your son’s name in the winter camp selection list. However, according to the sign-in book on the day we entered the camp, your son didn’t come to our school to register. ”
Xiao Yiheng’s father: “Could it be that he missed the sign-in book?”
The staff shook his head: “I just called the class teacher and the dormitory manager to ask. They said that they really haven’t seen Xiao Yiheng.”
Xiao Yiheng’s mother screamed: “Then where did my son go?” She was completely aggressive.
“According to what you said, your son is already 18 years old and is already a person with full civil capacity. He has the freedom to go wherever he wants.
As school teachers, we have no right and no qualification to ask him. ”
The staff said with a smile that hid a knife, “Since you two are his parents, why don’t you know to call him and ask?”
The staff thought: According to the bad temper of these two Alpha’s, it’s normal for their son to run away from home and play truant.
Speaking of calling, the couple’s expression froze.
Because they had been busy with the Cold War recently, in two weeks, they had only spoken to Xiao Yiheng on the phone once, and that phone call ended in less than a minute.
After they confirmed that he had safely arrived in the capital, they didn’t ask him if he could adapt to the climate in the north, nor did they ask him if he could keep up with the learning pace of the winter camp.
Now that they thought about it, that phone call didn’t have any warm parent-child interaction at all. They were as cold as a landlord and a tenant.
This time, when they came to the capital, they didn’t inform their son in advance.
Although Xiao Yiheng’s father said that “the family of three will spend the Spring Festival together”, the reality was that he had an old friend who worked in the National Education Bureau. He wanted to use his connections to ask if he could be promoted to a full professor as soon as possible.
Xiao Yiheng’s mother’s reason for coming to the capital was similar to hers. She had some old classmates who worked in the capital, and she wanted to get in touch with them. Maybe they would be useful in the future.
As for visiting Xiao Yiheng … it was just a matter of convenience.
Today, they finally finished their work and “took time” to come to the winter camp to see their son.
Unexpectedly, reality gave them a fierce blow — Xiao Yiheng didn’t come to the winter camp of the famous school!
During this time, where was Xiao Yiheng?
