This House? I'm Satisfied (1)

After the lesson, Shi Guang went back to her club for training. Because of the contract termination issue, she hadn't been able to train well for the past two days. Everything she had told Chu Mubei earlier on were all real. The selection test was about to commence soon. She had to train well for it, otherwise, wanting to enter the provincial team would be quite a tall task.

Shi Guang wanted to train on her basics today.

She hugged onto the kickboard while criss crossing her legs. Exerting her strength from her thighs, she brought it down to her calves and feet so that her legs could tear through the water surface rapidly. Using the resistance from the water, she was then able to propel herself forward.

How much strength should she exert to her legs such that there would be less splashes and her body would be pushed forth?

This was something that Shi Guang knew and did not know at the same time.

What she knew was that the speed she had swam with in the past was because of the data given to her by her coach.

But ever since they had changed to this coach, Wu Xing had not taught her much nor did he give her any accurate data to work with.

She could only bank on training her basics daily, working relentlessly and maintaining that attitude she once had so that she could try her best to correct her own posture.

However, she knew that no matter how much she made amendments, there were still some mistakes in it.

That's the reason why no matter how hard she trained these days; her speed could not be raised beyond her current one.

On the surface, this sport of swimming seemed as though it was something that could be made through just repetitive training. As long as one were to accumulate enough time doing it, they would definitely be able to swim well. Or rather, they would not be too bad at it. The rest would just be a matter of talent.

However, the thing about talent was that it had to be uncovered as well. One could not be considered an athlete just because they weren't too bad at swimming.

For speed based competitions, especially swimming, there would usually not be much of a difference in their results at the level of national athletes. They were just fighting for that mere fraction of a second of speed.

But it was often on these small details that determined whether or not one could get the gold medal.

Therefore, if an athlete wanted to stand at the very top of the world, other than depending on their own hard work and training, they would require guidance from a good coach as well.

But given the current situation, Wu Xing was totally unconcerned about her. She did not know the speed of her competitors. But if she didn't raise her own speed, wanting to enter the provincial team would be something that was extremely, extremely difficult.

By the time Shi Guang returned to the school from training, it was already 10pm.

Li Fangfei stood up and welcomed her, "How are you so late again today? Did you go and give lessons again today?"

"I did. But it ended early so I went over to the club to train for a bit." Lying on her bed, Shi Guang heaved out in the comfort of it.

Li Fangfei sat down beside her bed, "You're really pushing yourself way too hard. You've got the club, then the Shen Family's Water Cube and school. Just nice, these three places form a triangle from their locations. Not only that, the sun is the most venomous in this season where one would sweat profusely just by walking a short distance. It's really terrible to juggle everything like this. Shi Guang, since it's the summer and you don't have to attend classes, how about renting a place outside so that you don't have to return to school every day? That's too torturous."

"It's not easy finding a place. Either the location is bad or the price is too expensive." Shi Guang closed her eyes and relaxed her body.

"Just nice, I've got a friend who is overseas right now and his house is empty! Do you want to move over and stay there? Or perhaps you could assume that you're looking after his house for him!" Li Fangfei suggested carefully.

Shi Guang opened her eyes slowly.

She bent her elbow and placed her palm below her pillow before looking at Li Fangfei. That seemingly gentle gaze of hers was in fact like a sharp knife that could peer through one's soul.

Revealing her guilty conscience with this gaze, Li Fangfei suddenly sniggered out and waved it off with her hand, "Fine, fine, fine! I'll say it! I was at the behest of someone! Somebody doesn't wish to see you getting so tired!"
