The whistle blew and ten backstroke swimmers simultaneously pushed off the wall and into the water. After snorkeling for a short distance under the water, they immediately surfaced and swam towards the turning point.
Huang Yelun stood on the starting block, his whole body stiff with tension.
They had all heard Ji Xun's insults. If murder wasn't considered as breaking the law, that jerk Ji Xun wouldn't be able to leave the swimming pool today! Everyone was feeling suffocated with anger and couldn't wait to prove their strength.

On the contrary, Li Cheng was the coolest of the four, because he knew that on the field, performance was more important than fists.
Among the four athletes sent by Huacheng No. 1 High School, the first was an alpha senior who specialized in backstroke and won a bronze medal in the 100-meter backstroke this morning; second was Huang Yelun, a beta, who just won a silver medal in the 50-meter breaststroke; third was another alpha senior, with average butterfly performance and only won a bronze medal; and the fourth was Li Cheng.
Looking at the lineup alone, Huacheng No. 1 High School could only be regarded as mediocre. Except for Li Cheng, there wasn't a single gold medalist on the team. But who made Ji Xun so foul mouthed? His pre-match nonsense aroused the fighting spirit in everyone's hearts.
Thus, when the backstroke players came back from the turning point, the athlete from Huacheng No. 1 High School was already ranked second! This result was even better than his own individual event score!
As long as this advantage was maintained, why would they worry about not getting a medal?
Huang Yelun assumed his jumping stance and waited for the relay. His heart was thumping, and his mind was chaotic. First, it was the smiling face of his girlfriend, in another second it was a college acceptance letter beckoning him, then it was Ji Xun's vicious remarks, and then it was Li-ge's encouragement… All kinds of distracting thoughts came rushing in. Huang Yelun looked at the sparkling pool water, and for the first time had the thought of not wanting to go into the water.
Before he could calm down, the figure of his backstroke senior quickly approached. Seeing his senior's hand draw its final arc in the air, Huang Yelun hurriedly jumped into the water—
—but! Mistake at the start!
Despite having practiced the jump thousands of times and already developed the muscle memory, Huang Yelun somehow sank like a cannonball to the bottom of the pool as soon as he entered the water, and almost collided with his senior who had just returned from the last sprint.
When he struggled to the surface and found the rhythm to begin to catch up, the team's advantage had long since disappeared. Huacheng No. 1 High School had fallen from second place to third from bottom!
No one thought he would make this sudden mistake. On the coach's bench, Wu Xu's face was as dark as ink, and he decided to have Huang Yelun do extra training as soon as they got back.
There was also a lot of discussion in the audience. Huang Yelun's little girlfriend was about to cry. She clenched her hands tightly and kept praying for her boyfriend in her heart.
Seeing Huang Yelun making a mistake, Ji Xun laughed and asked Li Cheng mockingly: "Where did you pick him from? I think he's not practicing breaststroke, but frog kung fu. As soon as he entered the water, he sank to the bottom!"
Li Cheng's face was solemn and he ignored Ji Xun's provocation. Huang Yelun was not only his teammate but also his classmate. He had followed his ass right from the beginning of enrollment. Li Cheng knew that Huang Yelun's mental fortitude had always been poor, and he would get nervous during major competitions, but he did not expect Huang Yelun to be so nervous this time that he would make such a big mistake.
Fortunately, Huang Yelun was not the type to give up after a mistake. After realizing that he had been left behind by others, he immediately tried to catch up, paddling furiously with both hands and feet, sacrificing his breathing rate to ensure the efficiency of his paddling.
Third from bottom, fourth from bottom, fifth from bottom…
When Huang Yelun returned to the pool edge, he had already raised the team's rank to sixth place!
After climbing ashore, he collapsed to the ground as his legs went soft, drained of all his energy. He breathed in big mouthfuls of air, his chest rising and falling rapidly, as if he was sucking in all the oxygen.
"I'm sorry… I'm sorry…" Huang Yelun lowered his head guiltily, his face covered with tears and snot. He didn't dare to look at Li Cheng's expression. "Li-ge, I'm sorry to you all, I'm sorry to the coach, I'm sorry to everyone…"
"Enough." Li Cheng grabbed his arm and threw him into the rest area in the back row and asked the backstroke senior to take good care of him. "If you make a mistake, you'll just get yelled at. Now wipe your tears and don't let your junior sister laugh at you. Besides, I would like to thank you for your mistake."
"…Huh?"
"If you don't make mistakes, how am I supposed to show off my skills?"
Li Cheng's back was as tall as a crane as he turned and stepped onto the starting block.
Beside him, Ji Xun, also standing on the starting block, gave him a very nasty smile. Ji Xun's team had a lot of advantages - they currently ranked first, and the butterfly swimmer in their group even threw off the second place by a full body length!
And the Huacheng No. 1 High School barely struggled from sixth place to fifth.
Ji Xun entered the water first. He was a veteran athlete and an alpha, so he was much better than the average person in all aspects, but it was a pity that he had given up on himself and degenerated into the current him.
Li Cheng retracted his gaze from him and focused on his senior brother swimming towards him. When his senior brother was about to hit the wall, Li Cheng kicked off and plunged into the water!
At this time, Li Cheng ranked fifth.
In front of him, there were four others.
…
The stadium was filled with cheering.
The supporters of the ten teams were calling out the names of the players. Medley swimming was the best occasion to test a team's tacit understanding and personal ability. Each player represented only only themself, but the honor of their team.
Ten teams and forty players, but only three schools were able to win the trophy in the end.
In a sports competition, the only ones whose names are remembered are the champions.
Who doesn't want to be a champion?
Freestyle was the fastest of the four swimming styles. It was best suited for sprinting, so it was often listed as the last leg in medley. At this moment, the ten players in ten lanes sprinted with all their strength, leaving no room for mistakes.

Ten water splashes spread out in the swimming pool, and amidst them, a honey-colored figure became the focus of the audience!
"Look—big brother has overtaken one more person!" Youyou stood up on her seat in the stands anxiously, one hand holding onto Xiao Yiheng's shoulder, her small face full of tension.
Yes, Li Cheng entered the water in fifth place, and promptly surpassed two people!!
Now he had advanced to third place!
All the family members of Huacheng No. 1 High School's team stood up, desperately calling out Li Cheng's name, chanting this legend's name.
"Li Cheng! Come on! Li Cheng!! Come on!!!"
When he reversed at the turning point, Li Cheng once again showed his strength, moving at a surprisingly fast speed, like an arrow lurking under the water, overtaking one more person with a slight advantage. Now he ranked second!!
There was only one goal in his mind - overtaking Ji Xun on the adjacent track!
He wanted to throw the medal at Ji Xun's face, hit him until he had a bruised nose and swollen face, hit him until he was on his knees and admitted his mistake, hit him until he never dared to look down on omegas again!
The competition under the water was extremely fierce. All the spectators in the stands couldn't help standing up, craning their necks, wanting to see more clearly.
Who will finally win the championship? Will they witness the miracle of a counterattack today?
Youyou cried in frustration. She was short, and when the people in front of her stood up, she couldn't see anything.
Suddenly, a pair of big hands stretched out beside her, picking her up and raising her above the head.
Youyou only felt lightness. After she sat up, she realized that Xiao Yiheng had placed her on his left shoulder. She was now the tallest person in the room!
Although her big brother would also hold her, at most he let her sit in the crook of his arms, while Xiao Yiheng let her sit directly on one of his shoulders and even raised his arm to protect her.
"Can you see clearly now?"
"I can see him clearly! I can see him clearly!" Youyou shouted excitedly, "I can see my brother!"
"Good," Xiao Yiheng said, "Let's watch your brother win the championship together."
In the swimming pool, all the athletes were swimming desperately.
Now there was only the last leg left. The mere 50-meter track felt like an unending journey.
Li Cheng was really tired; he had never been so tired before. The first three matches had drained his stamina, and now he was supporting himself solely with a belief. He even felt that what he was driving was not his own body, but an old and aging machine.
His chest seemed to be pressed with a large stone, and his lungs and heart felt twisted together. With his arms moving forward alternately, his feet repeatedly beating and kicking the water, Li Cheng didn't want to lose, let alone lose to a straight A cancer!
But… but he was really too tired.
At the moment he was about to succumb, a voice suddenly penetrated the surface of the water and exploded in his ears.
"—Li Cheng, Li Cheng, Li Cheng!"
The voice sounded so familiar. Like ice cracking and a cold spring surging forth, it was as if endless power was injected into Li Cheng's body with that shout.
The owner of that voice was Xiao Yiheng.
This name carried a kind of magic. When Li Cheng remembered the alpha, his hands and feet suddenly regained their strength.
The blurred vision became solid and clear again, and the finish line was right in front of him!
All distracting thoughts disappeared, and he could no longer see the athletes on the other tracks around him, only a golden stream of water was left leading straight to the front.
He slammed his legs against the water, using the momentum to leap forward–
—the electronic timer rang! Li Cheng was the first to touch the wall!
Ji Xun, who was on the adjacent track, was 0.04 seconds late and ranked second!
This round - Li Cheng won again.

...
On the coach's bench, coaches from other schools gathered around Wu Xu and congratulated him sourly.
"Old Wu, you're awesome. Training such a good apprentice, you must getting loads of bonuses!"
"He's definitely getting a spot in the national team training camp this time. I look forward to Li Cheng winning honor for the country."
"In fact, I also had an eye on Li Cheng back then. But I was not as bold as you and didn't dare to accept an omega. Now it seems that you had the correct foresight."
In the stands…
Youyou hugged Xiao Yiheng's arm tightly and wept with joy. The orange cat heard his little owner's cries and poked its head out of the backpack curiously, but was caught by Youyou. Its soft fur became a perfect spot for her tears.
Xiao Yiheng really didn't expect her to be such a crybaby. He bent down and handed her a tissue: "Look at you crying. If Li Cheng knew you were crying like this, he would definitely laugh at you."
"I'm a girl, and girls can cry!" Youyou said while blowing her nose, "Moreover, even if my brother wants to laugh at me , he'll definitely laugh at you first."
"Why would he laugh at me?"
Youyou suddenly stretched out her hand and touched the corner of Xiao Yiheng's eye.
"Look, Brother Xiao, aren't you crying too?"
Xiao Yiheng was slightly startled. Looking at the glistening tear on the girl's fingertip, he raised his hand and touched his eyes.
On the field…
Li Cheng was pulled out of the swimming pool by his teammates, so tired that he couldn't even stand.
"Fuck, Li-ge, you're so awesome! Your last sprint was so powerful, you overtook four people in the swimming pool!" Huang Yelun supported his arm and babbled. "You didn't see that sonofabi*ch Ji Xun's expression. As soon as he got ashore, he ripped off his swimming cap and goggles and threw them away. What a loser, he swam slowly, and he still had the face to shout at his teammates."
"Okay, okay, I don't want to hear about my defeated competitors." Li Cheng couldn't even feel his legs anymore, every step seemed to be like walking on cotton. "I'm tired to death now, you be quiet. My head is buzzing."
He had four matches in a day and won the championship in three matches. It's estimated that his muscles will be so sore that he won't be able to move for the next week.
The swimming team of Huacheng No. 1 High School could win the team championship because Li Cheng was an absolute hero. If not for his legendary performance in the last leg, they might not have won even the bronze medal.
Huang Yelun, as a sinner dragging Li Cheng down, was full of guilt. Seeing Li Cheng's tired legs trembling, he hurriedly bent and squatted down, saying deligently: "Li-ge, I'll carry you!"
Li Cheng really couldn't move. He was not polite, and climbed directly onto Huang Yelun's back, patted his head, and ordered him: "DaHuang, give laozi a steady back. If you make laozi fall, you can forget about your dog life."
As a result, he barely finished speaking when his back suddenly went stiff as a cold gaze shot at him from the outside the field.

Li Cheng subconsciously turned his head to look - who knows when Xiao Yiheng had walked over from the VIP area to the lower stands, which were separated from the field only by a billboard. He held Youyou in his arm, holding the orange cat and duck in his other hand, and was looking at Li Cheng with a calm face.
Li Cheng: "…"
Xiao Yiheng: "…"
Huang Yelun: "…" Fuuuuck! How could he forget that Li-ge was already a marked O and had a owner!
Huang Yelun looked down at himself: emmmm…only wearing a pair of swimming trunks.
Huang Yelun looked at Li Cheng again: emmmm…also only wearing a pair of swimming trunks.
Li-ge's arms were still hanging around his neck, while his hands were still wrapped around Li-ge's knees.
—This seemed like a scene from a classic drama of "the wife, having endured hardships, dragged their children to the capital to find her husband who had become the top scholar in the imperial examination, only to find that her husband was kissing and embracing someone else in disheveled clothes."
Huang Yelun went straight from the competition field to the execution ground. If Xiao Yiheng's eyes could kill, his dog paws would have already hit the ground.
At the critical moment, Youyou's crisp voice calmed everyone down.
"Brother, you're so amazing!" Youyou blew Li Cheng a kiss, "You won three championships, so Youyou wants to give you a big kiss!" Her voice was soft, like cotton candy.
Li Cheng was worried about having no way to step down, so he hurriedly jumped off Huang Yelun's back and limped towards Youyou, wanting to hug her.
Seeing that he was struggling to walk, Xiao Yiheng shook his head: "Forget it, look how tired you are. Go back and rest."
"It's okay, Youyou is very light, I can carry her." Li Cheng insisted on reaching out.
Couldn't Xiao Yiheng see that he was doing his best to show a brave face? Youyou weighed tens of kilograms. No matter how light she was, Li Cheng was struggling to stand without help now, let alone holding a child.
Seeing that he stretched out his arms and held on, Xiao Yiheng could only retreat and handed him Little Lemon instead.
Little Lemon had not yet reached the molting period and couldn't enter the water, but it had long been too excited to see the heroic figure of its owner swimming in the pool. It was not honest even in Li Cheng's arms and its webbed feet kept kicking wildly, imitating the action of paddling.
Li Cheng was amused by it. He touched its short neck, and said, "I'll take you to swim next time."
He looked up at Xiao Yiheng again, straightening his shoulders somewhat proudly, and asked, "How did I swim just now?"
"Of course you swam very well." Xiao Yiheng whispered, "I didn't expect you to perform so well. The audience around me was all talking about you. Just now I also received our class monitor's - you saw him at the fried chicken shop before - call. He watched the live broadcast at home and wanted to ask you for an autograph."
Li Cheng lifted his chin and snorted: "My autograph is not so easy to get." He paused. After a few seconds, he said, "But I think Liu Yi is a pretty good person. For his face, I can sign a few more."
Xiao Yiheng: "His name is Liu Ke."
"…"
"But thanks anyway. It would be great if you can give a few more autographs. After all, there are others who want them."
Li Cheng's eyebrows twitched. He dragged his voice and asked pretentiously: "Who else?"
Xiao Yiheng replied: "There's our class's academic representative, sports representative, Youth League secretary, and…"
On the coach's bench, coaches from other schools gathered around Wu Xu and congratulated him sourly.
"Old Wu, you're awesome. Training such a good apprentice, you must getting loads of bonuses!"
"He's definitely getting a spot in the national team training camp this time. I look forward to Li Cheng winning honor for the country."

He looked up at Xiao Yiheng again, straightening his shoulders somewhat proudly, and asked, "How did I swim just now?"
"Of course you swam very well." Xiao Yiheng whispered, "I didn't expect you to perform so well. The audience around me was all talking about you.

Xiao Yiheng replied: "There's our class's academic representative, sports representative, Youth League secretary, and…"
In other words, the entire class of grade 3-1 wanted it. Everyone but Xiao Yiheng, who was also in grade 3-1.
Li Cheng became more and more angry as he listened, and said angrily: "Won't give! I'm won't give it anymore! Do you think just anyone can get laozi's autograph so easily? Not even if you beg me!"
After speaking, Li Cheng snorted. He turned around and left, not forgetting to throw the duck back into Xiao Yiheng's arms before leaving.
The duck: "Gah?"
Youyou looked at the back of her brother leaving in anger, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with my brother? Why is he angry?"
If she was a few years older, she would have understood that this was not called anger. This was called fun.
Watching Li Cheng's back as he walked into the lounge, Xiao Yiheng turned around and handed Youyou over to the other family members of the team, asking them to take care of her.
Youyou asked: "Are you going home?"
"No," Xiao Yiheng replied. "I have something very important to do, so I have to leave for a while."
…
It was already dark, and the small garden behind the provincial swimming pool was completely silent.
Ji Xun looked gloomy. He pushed open the door and walked towards the small garden in the night breeze.
Many trees were planted in the small garden, which made it a good place for visitors to enjoy the coolness during the day, but at night there were many mosquitoes, so there were no people there.
He randomly found a tree to hide his figure, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and lit it with a lighter.
He leaned against the trunk of the tree, took a hard drag, and then slowly exhaled it.
Ji Xun was addicted to cigarettes. The cigarettes he smoked even had a heavier taste than ordinary cigarettes. While smoking, he kept fanning the air with his hand to dissipate the smell of smoke around him.
For swimmers like him, smoking was definitely a taboo. Because cigarettes damage lung function and affect the ability of holding breath underwater.
But cigarettes were easy to get hooked on but hard to quit, and could be bought at any convenience store on the road. They were cheap and easily available. Every time he and his brothers went to a bar to play, everyone smoked, drank and picked up girls. He was arrogant and didn't want to be left behind, so naturally he smoked more fiercely than everyone else.
In order to prepare for the game recently, he forced himself not to touch cigarettes for nearly half a month. He wanted to quit while he was at it, but Li Cheng's performance on the field severely destroyed his psychological defense.
He lost time and time again to an omega that he despised. He was so anxious but had nowhere to vent, so he couldn’t help it and sneaked out to smoke again.
He smoked fiercely and quickly. A cigarette was inhaled deeply into his lungs, and thick nicotine wandered around the lungs, and then spit out quickly.
He finished one cigarette in three puffs, then the second, third, fourth…
After a while, a bunch of still-smoking cigarette butts gathered at his feet.
"F*ck!" He cursed while smoking, "That idiot Li Cheng, a crazy omega has the smell of an alpha on his body. Damn it! He should have been ruined at first glance. Damn, didn't you just get a few gold medals? What's to show off in front of laozi, it's really…"
Before he finished his words, a slight noise suddenly sounded not far away.
It was the sound of a tree branch fallen on the ground being trampled.
Ji Xun immediately stood up vigilantly, stubbing out the cigarette in his hand.
"Who? Who's there?" Ji Xun raised his voice, "Come out, I see you!"
After he shouted, a string of footsteps sounded behind him.
He turned around abruptly, and saw a tall, slender young man standing behind him.
Because the sky was dark, Ji Xun couldn't see his appearance clearly, and could only vaguely see that he was wearing a school uniform.
It's just that today's competition saw students from many schools come in droves to cheer for their own schools. There were no less than 800 to 1000 people in school uniforms.
"Are you an audience member?" Ji Xun asked.
The boy nodded.
"Do you know me?"
The boy nodded again.
Ji Xun felt annoyed in his heart. He took out his wallet and counted out a thousand yuan: "Don't think you can threaten me just because you saw me smoking. Take the money, shut up, and f*ck off!"
Work stolen from https://chipoholictranslations.blogspot.com
He threw the money in front of the boy, but the guy didn't accept it, letting the money fall to the ground.
"You want more?" Ji Xun frowned. "Don't be too greedy. I'll give you another thousand at most. Scram for laozi!"
