Chapter 2, hehehehe.

At this moment, Qi Ruifeng was still talking to himself, "Where do I sign?" He noticed Yunduo's swimming goggles shaking, so he readily took the goggles from her hand, quickly fished out a signature pen from his pocket, and with swift strokes, signed his name on the lens. The series of actions was smooth and rapid, and Yunduo didn't have time to stop him, clearly indicating a high level of proficiency.

I said, "Qi Ruifeng has spoken, what are you all arguing about? I think the nickname 'Tea Egg Sister' is very cute!"

However, revealing shortcomings is not frightening; what is truly frightening is revealing them in front of reporters

This time it was the cloud that felt gloomy, "Are the tastes of swimmers so peculiar?"

In consideration of world peace, the cloud bent down and persuaded them with a dry leaf. When she stood up, she suddenly heard a "pop" sound, and upon looking down, she saw a pair of swimming goggles lying on the ground

How did they know that

At this moment, someone by the bus shouted, "You few, do not linger, hurry up and get on the bus!"

Tang Yibai stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her, "Hmm, is there anything else?"

Outside the swimming pool, French sycamore trees are neatly planted. At this season, the leaves of the French sycamore have turned golden, resembling enormous money trees from a distance. The autumn sunlight filters through the dense leaves, casting dappled shadows on the light gray tiles, creating a flickering effect. In this swaying interplay of light and shadow, the clouds observe two groups of ants engaged in a battle, sparked by a dispute over a crumb of bread.

Tang Yibai smiled and said, "Am I as foolish as you to use my own shortcomings to seek others' strengths?"

Surrounded by a crowd of onlookers mocking her, Yun Duo felt a mix of shame and anger. She believed she had been made a fool of, as Tang Yibai had shared her embarrassing incident with his teammates for amusement. Yun Duo was quite upset; she lowered her head and turned to leave.

The cloud was taken aback, is there any profound reason for this? However, she and Tang Yibai did not know each other at all before, what could be the reason?

Yun Duo thought she had misheard, "Q......Q? Who is that?" As she spoke, she suddenly noticed Qi Ruifeng's sour expression, as if he was about to explode. Yun Duo immediately understood, "You are QQ?" Unexpectedly, this tall figure, standing at 1.98 meters, had such a unique nickname. Yun Duo placed her hands on her hips and laughed wildly, "Hahahahaha! I want the whole country to know!"

Tang Yibai was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "At that time, so many people witnessed it."

Tang Yibai held her arm and asked, "Are you angry?"

When Qi Ruifeng walked in front of the cloud, he already had a look of bewilderment on his face, "Isn't it just wanting an autograph? Dressing up like this to attract my attention, you succeeded!

Tang Yibai also recognized her and nodded slightly. His gaze then fell on the swimming goggles in her hand, just a casual glance, like a light snowflake falling into the lake, leaving no trace, yet making the clouds feel somewhat constrained, causing her hand holding the goggles to tremble slightly.

Moreover, this fellow's eloquence is truly impressive

Qi Ruifeng gritted his teeth and looked at him, "You, beast."

That person seemed quite authoritative, and several athletes immediately turned and left

However, just as she took her first step, she was pulled back.

Sorry, I couldn't hold back. His gaze was still as sincere as ever, but this time, it was sincerely a bit annoying

The young boy's face showed some discontent, but it was evident that he lacked confidence, so he could only sulk and pout.

The cloud almost fell to the ground. What on earth is a tea egg sister!

Moreover, his event is the 100-meter freestyle. In swimming, the 100-meter freestyle is equivalent to the 100-meter sprint in athletics, representing the most spectacular and highly regarded competition in their respective fields. Therefore, emerging in such a highly watched event is even more astonishing.

The young boy beside him also nodded in agreement, saying, "I feel the same way"

So where did this athlete, who won the gold medal in a national competition, come from

Yun Duo was astonished to see the seemingly invincible Qi Ruifeng actually walking over on his own initiative

Unable to comprehend, Yun Duo simply decided not to think about it anymore. She touched the swimming goggles, not putting them back in her pocket, but instead putting them on. Looking at the world through the anti-fog coating, everything remained clear, just slightly filtered in color, making this vibrant world seem less chaotic. Yun Duo found it amusing and paid no mind to the surprised gazes of others, wandering around with the goggles on.

After signing, Qi Ruifeng looked at Tang Yibai with some curiosity, "This swimming goggles are the same as the ones you used today. Could it be that she is your fan"

"Why do I think the name QQ is so cute!" The cloud laughed so hard that it trembled, immediately returning the words verbatim.

Upon reaching the back of the venue, Yun Duo noticed a man-made isolation barrier, with a large bus parked outside. She curiously looked around, eager to see who the bus was picking up. Just as she was peering about, a group of people emerged from the venue, all dressed in matching sports attire. Leading the group was a tall figure, exuding a rebellious aura, who was none other than Qi Ruifeng, the new generation leader of China's swimming scene. He was casually draping his arm over the shoulder of a shorter individual, laughing and seemingly engaged in light-hearted conversation. The person walking beside them had striking features and was currently standing with his hands in his pockets, gazing straight ahead.

Looking at his opponent, Tang Yibai, who has a mysterious background akin to the Monkey King, shows no regard for Qi Ruifeng, truly displaying extraordinary courage

You ... ... '' The cloud suddenly felt somewhat powerless. Wasn't it said that athletes are all brawn and no brains? How is it that this one is so articulate?

Oh, it was accidentally slipped out when she bent down just now

Tang Yibai suddenly realized the issue at hand, and thus shook his head, "I am not mocking you behind your back, please believe me"

Qi Ruifeng's eyes turned, as if he suddenly understood something. "If you promise not to tell anyone, I will tell you why Tang Yibai gave you these swimming goggles"

After he finished speaking, Qi Ruifeng looked at Yunduo seriously and asked, "Are you the tea egg sister?"

However, as the leader, Qi Ruifeng would not easily back down when threatened, "What is this? If you have the ability, let us settle it on the competition field!"

However, subsequent facts indicate that their connection is not merely one of "comparison"; it is indeed profound, exceptional, and exceedingly fateful.

The cloud does not know how to explain... It feels as though the thoughts of this genius gentleman are like a wild horse that has broken free, leaving ordinary people unable to keep up with its pace

She glanced at the lens, observing several strokes that soared yet were incomprehensible; from any angle, they resembled not a signature, but rather a scribble of ghosts.

He is helpless, because Tang Yibai has an exceptionally good memory. This kid holds the dark histories of several of us, all stored in his mind, ready to be retrieved at any moment. Qi Ruifeng has no doubt that if a competition were to be held for athletes to expose each other's secrets, Tang Yibai would undoubtedly emerge victorious and reach the pinnacle of the world.

The young lady, wearing swimming goggles under the sun, laughed foolishly and even waved at them

I suppose so, QQ, what do you think?

He was probably taken aback by her attire, and inexplicably, upon seeing Yun Duo wave, Qi Ruifeng turned his steps and led the group behind him towards Yun Duo

Could it be that he fell in love with her at first sight? ... This speculation is rather narcissistic, isn't it? ... Yun Duo felt somewhat awkward, and such an ambiguous assumption made her quite uncomfortable, causing her face to flush again

At that moment, Teacher Sun unexpectedly encountered an old classmate whom he had not seen for many years. In his surprise, he began to chat with his old classmate, and the more they talked, the more enthusiastic they became, leaving Yun Duo aside. Yun Duo had no choice but to wander outside the swimming pool, hoping to uncover something newsworthy. She was dissatisfied with her performance today, feeling unwilling to accept it.

Qi Ruifeng noticed her in a daze, and thus felt pleased, "Actually ... ... "

Having bullied the child, Yun Duo felt no shame at all; she proudly lifted her chin and looked at Tang Yibai

The cloud, however, did not believe, "But you just smiled."

Why are you giving me swimming goggles

The cloud was outside the isolation zone, and she called out, "Tang Yibai."

"Ahem," a voice interrupted him. Tang Yibai squinted his eyes, "QQ, it seems you have forgotten that your dark history is about to fill an entire notebook of mine."

The implication is that work can be concluded today

The cloud glared at the boyish face and said, "How old are you, little brat, to call others 'sister'?"

The young boy with a cute face chuckled. The cloud's face suddenly turned as red as a fiery sunset, and she stole a glance at Tang Yibai, only to find that he was also smiling

Yet he still held onto her. His strength was considerable, and she could not move at all. He stubbornly asked, "Why are you angry?"

Tang Yibai was smiling again, his eyes slightly raised at the corners, and his lips curved in a charming manner. His already enviable smile became even more stunning under the sunlight. He said sincerely, "I also think it's very cute, tea egg sister"

The cloud is not very satisfied with such an answer

Do not speak! Qi Ruifeng glared fiercely.

Yun Duo smiled slightly as she lowered her head, but after the smile, a look of confusion appeared on her face. She was not interested in sports, and her understanding of the sports world was limited to the three months since she started her job. However, in preparation for this interview, Yun Duo did some research. At the very least, she knew that among the currently strong competitors in China's swimming scene, there was no one named Tang Yibai.

Tang Yibai and the others also noticed the girl not far away who was looking at them. She carried a large backpack, had her hair tied in a ponytail, and wore a big black camera hanging from her chest; her fair duck-egg-shaped face was adorned with... ? ... swimming goggles?

You, you, you... beast!

The clouds brightened, and there stood Tang Yibai

He actually noticed it just now? Yun Duo felt embarrassed, yet she persistently continued to ask, "Why exactly?"

The clouds were left dumbfounded, what is going on here, this is Qi Ruifeng, the Olympic champion Qi Ruifeng! Now he is arguing like a child and can't even win the argument! He keeps cursing others as beasts, making it seem as if Tang Yibai has wronged him. What on earth is happening!

"It has already been decided once today," Tang Yibai calmly reminded him

Yun Duo picked up the swimming goggles and wiped the dust off them. She looked down at the goggles and suddenly thought of the athlete named Tang Yibai. What a super friendly person! Just a chance encounter, and he wanted to give her a souvenir. This might seem abrupt to most people, but his demeanor was clean and sincere, leaving Yun Duo with no feelings of aversion whatsoever.

In any case, it is not due to love at first sight

Qi Ruifeng's face darkened. Indeed, the competition today concluded with Tang Yibai emerging victorious. Qi Ruifeng exclaimed in anger, "If you have the capability, compete with me for 1,500!"

Ah? Yun Duo took off her swimming goggles and responded in confusion. She looked at Tang Yibai and said, "Hello, we meet again"

The cloud felt quite wronged; clearly, it was they who mocked her, so why was he questioning her so self-righteously? She took a deep breath, "At that time, I wasn't carrying a bag, and all I had left on me was..." She bit her teeth, "a tea egg. If you don't want it, you can just tell me. Why take it away and then mock me behind my back? I am very sad"

It is probably because we have a certain affinity! He answered ambiguously, and after speaking, he turned and left, casually waving his arms a couple of times as a farewell

The cloud lowered its head and did not look at him, replying stiffly, "Please let go of me."

In a subsequent interview, Yun Duo was noticeably slow by more than a beat or two, which Teacher Sun compassionately characterized as "on-the-spot nervousness." However, Teacher Sun felt that it was not a big deal, as there were no prominent figures in the remaining events of the day, and their newspaper layout was limited.

At that moment, the boy who had just been shoulder to shoulder with Qi Ruifeng suddenly leaned in to whisper something in Qi Ruifeng's ear, while both of them gazed at the clouds. The boy had a youthful face and was the shortest among several male athletes, appearing to be quite young, probably around fifteen or sixteen years old
