Air Y’s flight is a Boeing 777, a large aircraft that can carry a lot of passengers.
The athletes of the track and field team acted as a team. They boarded the plane early and placed their luggage in the group-purchased seat area. Because Le was the youngest and a child, she asked her coach to accompany her to sit by the window.
Coach Ou was so happy that when the athletes sat down, there were no more problems. He sat down and practiced Spanish with Xiao Le.
The two of them talked in Spanish, and occasionally mixed in a few German sentences and spoke very happily. To the ears of those who don't understand, it was like a chicken-duck talk. There was a quack-quack-quack-quack-quack-quack-quack sound. The athletes in front and behind looked at the classmates with particularly deep eyes.
, a little kid has incredible athletic talent, excellent academic performance, and knows several foreign languages. This is the rhythm of athletes who will make them mad.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with the conversation between Coach Ou and classmate Le. However, when the passengers boarded the plane, there were two foreigners who also understood Spanish. When they heard the two foreigners speaking Spanish, they ran to see them and asked the flight attendant to ask them.
Help change seats.
After some coordination, the athletes first adjusted their seats and asked Coach Ou to accompany classmate Le to sit in the last row of their seats. Then the flight attendant helped adjust the seats in the back row with the two Spanish-speaking people.
The two native speakers are Spanish, one is Spanish and the other is Mexican. They work for a large company in country Y. They came to China on a business trip. When they hear someone speaking Spanish, they feel friendly and they share a common language when they sit together.
.
Because the little Oriental girl was new to Spanish, the two gentlemen were very happy to be teachers, teaching her the differences in pronunciation of letters, the tone of speaking, taboos on the occasions when using many words that are easy to produce ambiguities, etc.
So, in the short time before departure, the four of them went from strangers to chatting with each other. They felt like "I'm so lucky this time" because they could meet friends they could talk to on the plane.
, it is also a kind of fate, so the four of them decisively exchanged contact information, so that they can send emails and chat when they have time.
When the plane was about to take off, the flight attendants were doing inspections. In order not to disturb the work of the staff, the four of them ended their conversation.
After a series of preparations, the flight took off at 12:22 China time, bound for country Y. The estimated flight time was eleven and a half hours, and it would arrive at its destination at 15:35 local time in country Y.
It is winter time in Country Y, eight hours different from China. The plane takes off after 12 o'clock local time in China, which is just after 4 o'clock in the morning in Country Y. Therefore, the whole flight is during the day and takes more than ten hours.
Long-haul flights generally provide two meals. Lunch is provided one hour after the flight takes off, and dinner is provided on the flight at around 7:00 China time.
It is not advisable to talk loudly while the plane is flying, so in order not to disturb others and not talk loudly, Yi Le’s classmate Coach Ou and the guests in the back seat talked quietly for a while during the meal time.
Sitting around on a long flight is also very boring. Everyone finds something to do to kill time. There is no one to chat with, so you can sleep, play games or watch movies.
After a long flight, the flight arrived at the Capital Airport of Country Y on time and landed smoothly. The passengers who had been on the plane for more than ten hours were finally able to step out of the mechanical bird and breathe free air.
Classmate Le and Coach Ou followed the team and said goodbye to their two foreign friends. The athletes got off the plane as a group and walked out of the port of entry to get their stamps stamped. The athletes’ visas were official visas, so there were no problems. They only had to declare for immigration promotion.
The property section took a little more time, mainly because Student Le was carrying a jade box containing a medical needle and needed to declare customs and pay taxes.
After paying the customs tax, the team members left the terminal, took a bus to the high-speed rail station, and then transferred to the high-speed rail to Birmingham, where the event was held.
March in country Y is a drier and less rainy season of the year, but it still has a relatively mild climate. When there is the sun in the sky, the temperature is high and very warm. The local people only wear thin sweaters and a thick coat.
Classmate Le and others took the bus and arrived at the high-speed rail station soon. The athlete team bought tickets, got on the bus as soon as they arrived, and arrived in Birmingham after an hour and a half's drive.
Minghan City is located between London, the capital of country Y, and Liverpool. It is the second largest city in country Y. It is the most developed international city in country Y with the youngest population. It is a prosperous business area and the city with the best quality of life and infrastructure.
It is perfect and has convenient transportation.
It is also a famous track and field city and has hosted many world-class competitions, European continental competitions, and various large-scale competitions in country Y.
Coach Ou and his team took a bus from the high-speed rail station to the hotel arranged by the organizer for the athletes. The hotels responsible for receiving athletes from various countries were already ready to receive the athlete team from China in an orderly manner.
The World Indoor Track and Field Championships in March 2018 had athletes from more than 150 countries participating. Naturally, it is impossible for each person to stay in a room. The athletes' hotels are all in collective rooms, with four, six or eight people. Olympic champions have preferential treatment.
I stayed in a luxurious hotel.
The Chinese athlete team is not the first group to arrive in Birmingham. Delegations from many countries have arrived on the 26th. The athletes go to their assigned hotel accommodation, and the team allocates beds and everyone packs their luggage.
They arrived in London at 15:35 local time. It took more than two minutes to take the bus and train. It was already past 6 pm when they checked into the hotel. It was past 7 pm when they had arranged their luggage and formed a team to go to the athletes restaurant.
Classmate Le is a little kid. She doesn’t have to worry about anything. She just follows the big group. She goes where everyone goes. She follows everyone when they go. She follows everyone when they stop. She eats a nutritious dinner specially prepared for athletes in the athletes’ restaurant.
, went for a walk and then went back to the hotel to rest.
The next day, the team went to the IAAF Organizing Committee to report and undergo random physical examinations. Ms. Le was "honored" to receive a special reception, but nothing that needed to be checked was found. Several tubes of blood were drawn from her, but no one else felt sorry for her.
She felt so distressed about herself. Her blood was so precious that even after three months of medicated diet, she could not produce ten milliliters of blood.
After the physical examination, go to the venue and the athletes' lounge, familiarize yourself with the process of where to check in, where to wait, where to enter during the game, etc., and to receive the athlete's number. Athletes can also go to informal venues to exercise.
After walking around for a while, while the athletes were free to move around, Le asked the volunteer attendants at the venue where there were libraries, bookstores, and banks where money could be exchanged. The volunteer attendants gave her a map. She studied it and went straight to the bank to withdraw money.
.
She had euros, but when the team that came with her went through customs, they all knew that she only brought a thousand euros in cash. If she had some extra money out of thin air, she would not be able to get through customs.
Exchange 10,000 euros at the bank and run to the library with the money. The library is in the sports city and there is no need to apply to the organizing committee for going out.
With his fluent English in the local accent of Country Y, Le Xiao could almost go anywhere and go anywhere. He went to the library to find the administrator and asked where the books were for sale, and wandered around for two days.
*I bought more than a dozen books and sent them to the main counter first and then went to the information library open to the public to read. It was almost evening before I went to check out and returned to the hotel with a bundle of books.
Coach Ou and others were getting angry waiting. When the classmate came back, they rushed over to catch her, grabbed the things she was carrying and scolded her: "You said you just got freedom and ran away like a wild horse.
Son, a girl can run around alone without fear of getting lost or being cheated..."
"Coach, this is a sports city. If I have an accident in the sports city, the reputation of country Y will be wiped out. Besides, please don't look at people through cracks in the door, okay? Even with my foreign language skills, I can't be deceived.
Ah."
"You are reasonable. Why do you love books so much? There are books in your dormitory room, and you go out to buy books when you come out for competitions. You were reincarnated by books in your last life. Come on, don't talk about it. I have something important to talk to you about. Go to the dormitory to talk to you.
Right."
Coach Ou felt heavy with the bundle of books he was carrying, and helped him carry it back to the dormitory where the female athletes lived. Other athletes were also there. When they saw what Xiaole brought back, they were also moved by their eagerness to learn.
"Coach, don't be so pretentious. You have something important to talk about." Returning to the sports dormitory, Le Yun bundled the books beside her bed and asked straight to the point what the matter was, asking the coach to come find her.
"It's a matter of physical examination," Coach Ou's face fell. Seeing several athletes showing nervous expressions, he hurriedly reassured: "Don't be nervous, it's nothing bad. I didn't say who has taken banned drugs or anything like that. They are the ones doing the research."
Testing the blood of classmate Le, it was found that there are several rare antibodies in her blood. It is a rare blood type. It is said to be the rarest and most complex blood type in the world. It is said... It is said that there is a patient in a certain country with
Classmate Le has the same blood type..."
Coach Ou was stuck, and Le Yun couldn't be more calm: "Did they contact you and want me to donate blood?" Her intuition told her that some people wanted her to be a nurse.
"You guessed it right, that's what they meant, because the patient is also an athlete." Coach Ou spread his hands: "We can't refuse directly, we just said we'll wait until we ask you what you mean before we reply to them.
You can refuse because you are not yet an adult and are a protected minor."
"There is no problem in donating blood and platelets, but I reject any idea of trying to get me to donate bone marrow. The coach can reply to them and I can donate blood after the game." She herself is not fully developed yet, and bone marrow cannot be donated.
Not even for the Emperor.
Coach Ou initially thought that the little guy refused directly, but he didn't expect that she actually agreed. He was particularly surprised: "Xiao Le, why don't you think about it more?"
"Don't worry too much about donating blood. Donating an appropriate amount of blood is within my acceptable range. I don't accept any requirements for bone marrow transplantation."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll tell the group leader. If I reply early, everyone will feel at ease and let them prepare early." The little classmate is very caring. Coach Ou has nothing to say and goes to the team leader to reply.
News from the organizing committee.
Le Yun didn't care about the unimportant things. She packed up and went to have dinner. After eating, she went back to the dormitory to read books. Any athlete in the same team who wanted to read could also read them. Unfortunately, they were all in foreign languages and only a few were in English.
.
The indoor track and field competition officially started on the afternoon of March 1, local time. In the morning, some belated athlete teams arrived one after another, and there was an opening ceremony in the afternoon.
The opening ceremony was very grand, with a lot of important people in attendance. After a series of steps were completed, it got down to business, and all the pre-arranged projects were held as scheduled.
There are multiple events on the first competition day. The Chinese team has the men's high jump finals, but the female athletes have no events on the first competition day.
The biggest highlight of the day's events was the women's 3,000-meter final in the evening, which was also the defending battle of Ethiopian star Dibaba, the world indoor track and field 3,000-meter record holder.
That night, Chinese athletes tied for third place in the men's high jump final. At 20:15 Birmingham time, the women's 3,000-meter final kicked off. After fierce competition, the Ethiopian star successfully defended his title and tied for the indoor track and field 3,000-meter final.
Three consecutive championships.
At the end of the evening competition, the spectators and athletes all left the venue.
Le Yun accompanied the group to watch the men's high jump and the women's 3000 meters final. She went with the group to rest with the athletes from her country first.
As soon as the staff arrived in the lounge, Coach Ou caught Le and whispered to him in a low voice: "Xiao Le, have you seen the speed of the world champion? Do you have any special feelings?"
"Dibaba's body is very toned, and her body proportions are close to perfect." Le Yun expressed her feelings very honestly. Due to the country's geographical environment, Ethiopian middle-distance runner Dibaba's skin is not particularly dark, and his body is very toned.
The proportion is also very good, scoring 95 points.
"What?" A group of people wanted to hear the little classmate's thoughts on whether she was stressed or something, but she went off topic and ran 8,000 miles away, leaving everyone confused.
"Xiao Le, I asked her if she ran fast. What are you talking about with me? What are you thinking about in your little head? What are you thinking about?" Coach Ou hated the iron that cannot be made into steel, and poked his little classmate's vagina with his finger.
Head, um, the beautiful boy from the Chao family is not here, so he can "point the way" to the little classmate's head. If the beautiful boy is here, he will definitely stare at him and not let him touch the little guy's head.
"I want to tell my brother Chao that you keep poking me in the head behind his back," Le Yun protested angrily and gave him an answer: "Coach, can you always ask some competent questions? Of course she ran very well.
Come on, can Dibaba still win the championship if he doesn't run fast?"
"I'm going to be so angry with you," the little classmate pretended to be dumbfounded. Coach Ou couldn't help but touch the little classmate's head with his big hand: "Don't use your brother to scare people. Your brother is not here. You can't get close to water or fire."
, don’t talk about him, I’m asking if you feel any pressure, if you have the confidence to compete with her, if you pretend to be a fool again, I will catch you in the training gym every day when you go back."
"Really, if you ask this kind of question, you can just look at it yourself. I have to ask others. To satisfy your curiosity, I can only conservatively say that my speed is about the same as hers in middle and long distance running.
If it’s a long-distance race of more than 10,000 meters, it’s hard to say who will win.”
Being touched on the head, Le Yun hugged her head helplessly: "Coach, I'm sleepy, can you let me go to sleep?"
