At the age of thirteen, Xun Lang had already regarded swimming as his lifelong career. At that time, Lei Penshen was the most famous butterfly swimming coach in Jiangsu Province.
Xun Lang wanted to become a disciple, but he was rejected several times.
In Lei Penshen's view, it was not easy for the prince of the Ji family to do what he wanted, so there was no need to take the path of competitive sports.
In one word, being a professional athlete is hard.
He felt that Xun Lang couldn't bear the hardship. Even if he was highly talented, it would be useless because he wouldn't be able to persist for long.
But Xun Lang didn't give up. In one year, Xun Lang completed the triple jump from the school team to the city team and then to the provincial team. This may require the sweat of ordinary people throughout their youth, but it only took Xun Lang one year.
Finally Lei Penshen finally nodded and agreed to take Xun Lang with him.
Up to this point, it has been an inspirational story for a young man, but there is one thing. This story happened completely behind Ji Nanyun's back.
The Ji family had no idea.
Until one day, when Xun Lang was following Lei Penshen in class, suddenly there were bodyguards outside. Li Jiaoyang ran in and told them that Ji Nanyun was furious and brought people to arrest Lei Penshen. Xun Lang had no doubt that he had it.
He stayed, blocked the bodyguards, and let Li Jiaoyang lead Lei Penshen to go from behind. Just like that, on the way to escape, Lei Penshen encountered a car accident and suffered a comminuted fracture of his thigh. He became lame from then on and became a regret in the sports circle.
.
From the beginning to the end, Lei Pengshen never complained and treated Xun Lang like a teacher and a friend.
This made Xun Lang feel unspeakably ashamed.
But who should be blamed for this?
It’s Ji Nanyun who interfered with his son’s dream;
Or Li Jiaoyang, who reported him to Ji Nanyun?
Whether it was his powerful father or his duplicitous friends, they were all like a soft plastic film, tightly wrapping Xun Lang.
Suffocation and panic continuously squeezed the air for Xun Lang's survival. This was a hundred times more painful than drowning...
In a mountain villa.
Li Jiaoyang, who was tortured enough, was thrown into the parking lot by the bodyguard.
Jun Pang stayed and drank a silent glass of bourbon with Xun Lang.
Xun Lang is a professional athlete and has strict dietary requirements. Alcohol is prohibited. He will only drink a little when he is in an extremely bad mood.
The golden wine, mixed with ice cubes, reflected a warm light in the short cup, and the fingers with clear joints were gently shaking.
Jun Pang sighed and said, "If you count the two things about Coach Lei and Tang Yili together, Li Jiaoyang just dropped out of school. You are already very merciful to us just being friends."
Xun Lang stood up in front of the bar, put one hand on the rim of the cup and said nothing.
"Um...does Tang Yili know that you are looking for Li Jiaoyang today?" Jun Pang asked tentatively, and Xun Lang shook his head slightly.
"she does not know."
Jun Pang is a sensible person. When Xun Lang said this, he probably guessed that there were many things that Tang Yili didn't know.
Xun Lang didn't want to make any noise, he naturally knew how to keep it secret, and nodded, "It's okay if you don't know. Out of sight, out of mind. Anyway, you won't be able to touch it in the future."
Jun Pang raised his eyes and looked carefully at the tall Xun Lang, and suddenly wanted to laugh.
It's not that people like Xun Lang are immune to the world of mortals, it's just that there was no one he cared about in the world of mortals before.
…
Tang Yili took ten days of sick leave, which was even on the National Day. She took more than half a month off at once. It was the day she returned to school that she heard about Li Jiaoyang from Fu Xi.
"Don't you know? Li Jiaoyang went through the procedures for dropping out of school at the end of last month. I heard that his family wanted him to study abroad and has already sent him to the UK."
Tang Yili didn't answer, but was surprised in his heart.
She didn't expect Li Jiaoyang to disappear so easily. Originally, Tang Yili was worried that it would be awkward to see Li Jiaoyang without looking up when he was on campus.
Unexpectedly, this grandson is so self-aware, so he got out first.
But when she thought about it, Tang Yili was a little unsure. How could such a arrogant and bully young master drop out of school at the drop of a hat?
Do you really want to study abroad, or are you being forced to go abroad?
Is there any Xun Lang's handwriting in this?
With doubts, Tang Yili left class and went to find Xun Lang.
In the evening, it was already dark, the lights were on in the swimming pool, it was cold and there was no one there.
After all the fuss, Tang Yili walked out of the door, hesitating whether to call Xun Lang, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of two people standing in the distance.
On the open lawn, a man and a woman were very close to each other and talking.
Or it can be described as Xun Lang is listening and Zhao Meilun is talking.
He was more than ten meters away and couldn't hear what was said, but Tang Yili was already like a cat with furry hair, completely annoyed.
The scene of her waking up from Li Jiaoyang's bed came into her mind again.
The most humiliating thing in my life is thanks to Zhao Meilun. If she hadn't drunk something, I would have been manipulated like a dead pig by Li Jiaoyang?!
Tang Yili walked over and called out in a loud voice: "Xun Lang."
Zhao Meilun quickly became vigilant. She stretched her head and glanced at Tang Yili, smiled weakly, and only looked at Xun Lang.
"If someone is looking for you, I'll leave first and call you later."
She seemed to not recognize Tang Yili and passed by.
Tang Yili was so angry that she wanted to catch up and pluck Zhao Meilun's hair, but unfortunately Xun Lang deliberately blocked her.
"Are you back to class?"
"Isn't this obvious?!"
Tang Yili was not angry. Looking at Zhao Meilun's back as he walked away, he asked reluctantly: "When did you meet Zhao Meilun? Does she still have your phone number?"
She looked up at Xun Lang, whose face had been cold for ten thousand years. When he saw her, he had no intention of warming up.
Moreover, Xun Lang obviously didn't like being questioned, so he didn't answer directly.
"We're talking about serious business."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I interrupted you to talk about something serious." Tang Yili turned around and left.
“Tang Yili.”
Tang Yili turned back and walked back, her slender eyebrows slightly raised - it was really a very subtle fate - she and Zhao Meilun met Xun Lang on the same day.
She suddenly thought of something, squinted her eyes and asked, "Zhao Meilun was drowning, was it you who saved her?"
"Um."
Tang Yili took a deep breath.
The video that Jun Pang sent to Tang Yili was very short, only about drowning, not about rescuing people. Therefore, Tang Yili took it for granted that nothing serious happened that night.
I have never thought about or asked who saved the person in the end.
It turns out that Xun Lang and Zhao Meilun once had a hero save a beauty.
Tang Yili seemed to have seen some bloody and vulgar drama, and she felt even more disgusted with Zhao Meilun. She couldn't help but ridicule him.
"It's been so long. Now that she comes to you, has she decided to commit herself to you?"
Xun Lang frowned, with a bit of helplessness.
"The reason why I showed up that night was because Zhao Meilun had tipped off the news. She said that Li Jiaoyang threatened her, and she had no choice but to charm you and take you to the hotel."
