Chapter 6, Photos and Team Flowers

Lin Zi's expression remained as indifferent as ever, with his brows slightly lowered, appearing quite listless. It seems that for the several dozen minutes since I met him, he has always been like this, as if he were wandering in another dimension waiting for his soul to return. Upon hearing Teacher Sun's words, he shook his head and replied, "I am getting it for my sister; one Qi Ruifeng is enough for her."

If he were to directly refuse, it would be too embarrassing for the young lady, but Tang Yibai also did not want to leave her with any false hopes. Therefore, after fulfilling his promise, he quickly passed the swimming goggles on to someone else, which made his intentions unmistakably clear

"Mr. Wu," Tang Yibai called to him, "Did you call for me?"

Qi Ruifeng felt somewhat perplexed; however, as an idol, he did not intend to leave too much time for his fans. Therefore, after taking the group photo, he left with a group of his followers.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door, and before the two people inside could react, the person outside had already pushed the door open and walked in

What does it mean

The cloud could not help but touch its chin and exclaim, what a perfect snapshot!

The cloud noticed his expression was desolate, as if he had something on his mind, and thus refrained from further questioning

Just speak honestly. Tang Yibai replied casually, and after saying that, he sat back on the bed to watch television

Qi Ruifeng glanced at Tang Yibai's words and laughed, "There is no difference, mine is even more concise than yours. But I guessed correctly, you do want to reject her, right"

What is the matter

Tang Yibai chuckled and said, "Everyone on Earth can guess it right"

After seeing off the group of swimming stars, Teacher Sun curiously asked Lin Zi, "Why didn't you ask Tang Yibai for an autograph just now? It would be easier to get it now; once he becomes more famous, it will be too late for you to want one."

Tang Yibai's brow twitched slightly; he quickly turned around, extending his long arm to snatch Qi Ruifeng's phone. As expected of an athlete, his reactions and movements were swift. When he seized the phone, Qi Ruifeng had just finished typing that sentence and had not yet sent it

He could not help but recall the situation at that time. On the day of his birthday, at noon, he was having lunch in the cafeteria with a few teammates when the team beauty walked over to him and presented him with a gift—a pair of swimming goggles. She expressed her hope that he would wear those goggles in the upcoming championship and offered her best wishes.

"General Wu." Tang Yibai looked at him with some hesitation

Wu Yong, seeing him like this, felt it inappropriate to criticize him further. He simply sighed and said, "I know you feel wronged, but as a man, you should be able to take things in stride. The reporters are ruthless; if something goes wrong, you never know how they will twist the story behind your back. You haven't achieved any results yet, and without results, you lack confidence. Qi Ruifeng can act arrogantly because he holds an Olympic gold medal; you don't have that. At most, you have an Asian Games gold medal, and it's in butterfly swimming, which is of little use." As he spoke, Wu Yong's true nature was revealed, and he began to curse.

Tang Yibai mustered his courage, his eyes sparkling as if he were trying to create a cute effect: "Can I play with my phone for a while? I'll give it to you before bed."

He decided to ignore Qi Ruifeng and simply focused on pressing the remote to switch the television channels. The television screen changed rapidly, with a cacophony of diverse sounds intermittently.

Whose mischievous child is this? I really want to Photoshop him out...

This swimming championship has over 500 participants, who are accommodated in two hotels. Generally speaking, the athletes check in by province, but above the provincial teams is the national team. Therefore, national team members like Tang Yibai and Qi Ruifeng, although competing on behalf of different provinces, are still organized and led by the national team. As a result, when the rooms were assigned, Qi Ruifeng and Tang Yibai were placed in the same standard room.

Tang Yibai sat upright and composed while watching television, exuding a calm and pretentious demeanor like a well-dressed beast. "There is nothing else, only familiarity with the craft."

However

Qi Ruifeng then said, "However, you and Danmei are not strangers anymore, right? ... ... She is quite a loyal person."

After a few minutes of silence following that message, the team flower girl finally replied to Qi Ruifeng: I understand, thank you, Brother Feng

After searching back and forth, her gaze finally settled on the set of candid shots taken this afternoon

Due to the disruption caused by this lollipop boy, the overall tone of the image has undergone a subtle change. Adhering to the professional ethics of journalism, the cloud restrained its mischievous thoughts and did not Photoshop the mischievous child out.

The finger that was swiftly pressing the remote control suddenly paused, and Tang Yibai fell silent for a few seconds. Suddenly, he turned his head, furrowed his brows, and glanced at Qi Ruifeng, saying, "Her name is Yunduo"

"In front of so many people, one must give the young lady some face," Tang Yibai explained.

"Dream on!" Wu Yong shot him two big eye rolls, "You might as well give up on that thought; your phone will only be returned to you after the competition ends."

The angle selection of this set of photos is quite good, and one moment is captured exceptionally well. In the photo, Qi Ruifeng's profile is strong and defined; he stands tall and confident. Beside him, Tang Yibai slightly lowers his head, a faint smile gracing his lips. The autumn sunlight filters through the golden leaves of the plane trees, casting a warm glow on them. The one facing the sun appears even more spirited and vigorous, while the one with his head bowed and a gentle smile looks more warm and humble in the soft light. One photo, two personalities, vividly presented before our eyes. The autumn sunlight filters through the golden leaves of the plane trees, casting a warm glow on them.

As soon as Qi Ruifeng returned to the hotel, he collapsed onto the bed and pulled out his phone from under the pillow to play with it... Tang Yibai did not check under his pillow, as there was no phone there... He cast a somewhat envious glance at Qi Ruifeng's phone, quickly averting his gaze before the latter noticed, and nonchalantly turned on the television to watch.

Qi Ruifeng looked at Tang Yibai with a hint of disdain, saying, "Then why did you agree to her in the first place? It was unnecessary."

Lin Zi drove Yun Duo and the others back to the hotel, and they parted ways. As expected, Yun Duo brought all the flowers back to her room, which was already not spacious and now would be filled to the brim. After doing all this, she began to write her article in front of the computer, surrounded by the fragrance of the flowers. The "Sports Weekly" publishes twice a week and can add special issues during major events such as the Olympics or the World Cup. However, the "National Swimming Championships" clearly does not qualify for a special issue.

The clouds are somewhat strange, "Did your sister not come to watch the match with you?"

Tang Yibai quickly deleted that inexplicable remark and changed it to: I casually gave it to a stranger right after the finals yesterday

The person who arrived was Tang Yibai's coach, named Wu Yong. Wu Yong had a robust physique, with a pair of imposing tiger-like eyes and a scruffy beard. Such a criminally charismatic appearance easily attracts the attention of law enforcement in times of peace

Speaking of which, the first person she interviewed was Tang Yibai, but there are only a few photos of Tang Yibai in the camera. I really don't know what she was doing with her pig brain before this

Wu Yong nodded and said in a loud voice, "Yibai, come here."

Qi Ruifeng exclaimed, "I have noticed that you, you little pretty boy, have quite a knack for how to reject girls."

Hmm. Tang Yibai nodded slightly, without offering any defense.

Oh, alright," Qi Ruifeng replied, muttering as he typed, "Sending... to... Egg... Sister... now..."

In this world, only coaches can so blatantly disregard the privacy of athletes

There is no "but"; it has already been said not to learn from Qi Ruifeng, as he has already been beyond rescue. You still have a chance for recovery.

Then she sent the picture to Teacher Sun. Such matters should be left to the experienced teachers to worry about

Tang Yibai smiled, "I understand the reasoning, Aunt Wu..."

By tomorrow at the latest, she and Teacher Sun will send the manuscripts from the competition over the past two days back to the editorial center. Yun Duo is reviewing the photos she took over the past two days, hoping to find a few that are presentable.

The boy with a youthful face had one hand resting on Qi Ruifeng's shoulder to maintain his balance. He leaned back to look at the camera, grinning and waving to steal the spotlight. Yun Duo noticed that one side of his cheek was puffed out, and there was a thin, straight white object hanging from the corner of his lips. At first, she thought he had a runny nose, but to have a runny nose that flowed so straight was quite miraculous...! She propped her chin on her hand, enlarged the image for a closer look, and combined it with the puffed cheek; it became instantly clear: this little guy was eating a lollipop!

He sighed, "She cannot come."

The cloud blushed a deep red, ignoring Tang Yibai and the others, as she pretended to fiddle with the camera

Tang Yibai had no choice but to return to his room in disappointment. Qi Ruifeng, hearing his footsteps, kept his gaze fixed on his phone and, without looking up, said to him, "The flower of the synchronized swimming team asked me to ask you, why didn't you wear the swimming goggles she gave you for today's competition"

The main characters in the photo are these two. As for the others, as long as they do not appear too out of place, it is fine. Yun Duo took a cursory glance and then saw that on the side of Qi Ruifeng's body that was away from the camera, a head and half a body abruptly protruded. Since the focus was not on that person, his face was somewhat blurred, but Yun Duo still recognized him at a glance: it was the young boy with a delicate face who had his arm around Qi Ruifeng's shoulder yesterday.

Then send it, and return the phone to Qi Ruifeng

You! Wu Yong pretended to strike him, but Tang Yibai gently shrank his neck. However, Wu Yong laughed and lowered his hand, "You little brat!"

The clouds seized the opportunity and distanced themselves, snapping a few photos with a click. Regardless of whether the photos taken are usable, she can at least comfort herself that her stakeout here is not entirely in vain

He called Tang Yibai to the door, first praising his performance in the pool today, then changing the subject, saying, "Your attitude during the interview today was not very good, which could easily offend the reporters. Please pay more attention to this in the future"

After finishing the meal, one should not play around casually; everyone should return to their respective rooms

The name of the boy with a youthful face has been clarified by Yun Duo yesterday; he is called Ming Tian. The main event he participates in is the breaststroke. In fact, this name was included in the homework Yun Duo had done previously, but since she had to remember many names, she often mixed them up with faces. Ming Tian is not yet sixteen years old this year and is still a minor, yet he has already participated in several national competitions and won a bronze medal at the Swimming World Championships held this summer. Achieving such results at such a young age is indeed remarkable.

Tang Yibai had dinner with his teammates, feeling relaxed and speaking naturally, showing no signs of being affected by the incident that occurred in the afternoon. This state of mind was contagious among his teammates, to the extent that they felt there was no need to comfort him.
