The scene was filled with laughter, and everyone seemed to be stirred up by the reporter's last irrelevant question.
Athletes from other countries in the interview area also looked over.
The Western reporter was very quick and quickly put the video on the big screen - showing evidence that Xun Lang was in love.
It was a candid video of Tang Yili wearing a long suspender skirt and a mask, playing Gacha in front of a street vending machine. She was operating the machine with one hand and holding Xun Lang's arm with the other.
Xun Lang was also wearing the same black mask at the time and was carrying a bag filled with prizes that Tang Yili had twisted out.
The video was taken at night, so the specific expressions of the two people cannot be clearly seen, but just by looking at their body movements, you can tell that they are a man and woman passionately in love.
Everyone in the team, including Lei Banshen, was shocked.
They were acquaintances, and of course they recognized that it was Xun Lang.
Xun Lang was also caught off guard by the sudden malice, but he still remained calm and said a word, not answering questions that had nothing to do with the game.
The Western reporter was proud and wanted to continue asking questions. The team leader pushed Xun Lang away with quick hands and eyes, then took the microphone himself and began to practice Tai Chi to the outside world.
The team members filed into the waiting area. Lei Penshen walked up to Xun Lang and asked him: "Is Tang Yili really staying in our hotel?"
Xun Lang had no intention of hiding it from anyone, and simply admitted: "Yes."
Lei Penshen did not continue to worry about Tang Yili, but lowered his voice and asked Xun Lang.
"Who have you told about Tang Yili?"
Xun Lang understood.
During the competition, these athletes were at their most impulsive age. It was not news at all to ask a girl to have some fun. However, Xun Lang's incident broke out before the freestyle finals. To say it was a coincidence would be a bit too dismissive.
What a coincidence.
Someone must have done it on purpose.
Its purpose is to disturb Xun Lang's mental state and affect his performance.
So, who was behind the appearance of this Western reporter?
Suzuyama Keiteng, Zhan Yixuan, and even Wei Ran - as long as they have a competitive relationship with Xun Lang - are all possible.
Xun Lang once had a flash of thought, remembering the first morning when Tang Yili moved in, Wei Ran said that he seemed to have seen Tang Yili...
Xun Lang: "Let's put this matter aside for now and talk about it after the competition is over."
Lei Ban nodded deeply. Although he was very angry, he was also helpless.
There are still twenty minutes before the game starts. If we are struggling with this now, wouldn't it be playing into the villain's hands?
Before leaving, Lei Banshen told his disciple: "You have an injury on your shoulder. When you turn your body, be sure to pay attention to the angle of your arms and don't swing them too much."
"In this competition, we still have to try our best to preserve our strength and focus mainly on butterfly swimming."
Xun Lang: "I know."
…
Swimming competitions have always been a highly visible sporting event. In Japan, this sport also has a deep mass base.
When Keito Suzuyama appeared on the stage, there was a burst of thunderous applause that lasted for a long time.
This is the advantage of the host country. Even before the competition, they have already won by momentum.
Suzuyama Keiteng was on the fourth track, Zhan Yixuan was on the fifth track, and Xun Lang and Wei Ran were ranked third and second on the second-tier track respectively.
The water in the swimming pool is swirling, so clear that you can see the bottom of the pool.
The athletes stood on the platform one after another. Xun Lang bent down and touched the ground of the starting platform with his fingers. It was cold and damp. He took a deep breath and turned his head to the right.
Suzuyama Keito looked seriously ahead.
Zhan Yixuan had just finished his take-off position, staring at his fingers. Through the electric-colored swimming goggles, it was impossible to see any emotion on his part.
On the contrary, Wei Ran also turned his head to look at Xun Lang.
Their eyes met briefly and then immediately drifted apart again.
Xun Lang didn't have time to think too much, he had already heard the slogan of "get on your feet."
"Ready—Go!"
Xun Lang had heard the sound of gunshots issuing orders countless times, but today, after this decisive and straightforward order, he heard the hint of conspiracy.
"The competitive arena has never been a pure land. Where there are people, there are minds. Xun Lang, I advise you not to evade your family responsibilities. Return to me. Your father will never harm you."
The water seemed to be alive. When Xun Lang was in it, he seemed to hear Ji Nanyun's voice. That was when he was fifteen years old and won the national youth championship. He told his family excitedly.
However, Ji Nanyun poured cold water on his head.
My father finally saw through the intrigues, and today, five years later, he remained silent. As Xun Lang continued to walk higher, he finally saw the dangers of the human heart.
Xun Lang tried his best to put this curse-like whisper behind him, but a spot on his right shoulder was so cold that he could feel a strong burning sensation in the water, spreading throughout his body.
It's pain.
The uncontrollable pain made Xun Lang suddenly come back to his senses.
