Zhang Shulin was looking at the list of swimmers for the preliminary heats and saying to Shi Guang at the same time, “The competition is slightly more intense this year, with a couple of seeded swimmers here. The provincial team had long prepared this. Regarding the issue of you being late the previous time around, you’ve also made quite a name for yourself on the provincial team… albeit a bad one. Therefore, we must make use of the results this time around to correct your reputation properly…”

Shi Guang was leaning against the railings and listening to Zhang Shulin the entire time. She was an eager and ambitious person. Her goal did not stop just at getting into the provincial team. She wanted to go much higher and further. How could she allow herself to be held back here?

The event was about to start as Zhang Shulin headed over to the preparatory area. Shi Guang was also ready to head to the waiting area when two striking men made their way toward her direction.

“Gosh, I’m getting an inspiration by coming over to watch this event today. These days, the topic of competition is getting quite hot. Perhaps, I should use it as material to film a movie.”

“You had better first get the one you’ve got filming done properly first.”

“It’s already ongoing!”

“… Eh, I wonder how Little Sister Shi Guang is doing! The previous time, I didn’t manage to get to see her swim. This time around, I must definitely not miss it for the world!”

Hearing someone mention her name had Shi Guang spin her head around reflexively. And she just happened to make eye contact with the last person who spoke.

When the person saw Shi Guang, he beamed out with a bright smile. “Little Sister Shi Guang!”

Shi Guang really felt that this Chu Mubei was a special kind of f*cktard.

When she did not know him, he was the one who came acting all chummy himself. Later on when they knew one another, he became all cold and scolded her for hurting Lu Yanchen. And now that they were meeting again, he was all smiles as though he had met an old friend! She really couldn’t find it in herself to smile back the same way.

“Why are you here?”

“To watch you swim, of course!”

Mo Yanzhi, who was beside him, smirked out evilly, “Now, who is this Little Sister here? Introduce!”

Chu Mubei sniggered out, “Who else could it be? Of course, this was the one at Old Lu’s place! Little Sister Shi Guang, this is Old Mo—Mo Yanzhi.”

Shi Guang had a feeling that this man was clearly asking the obvious and was even acting surprised. Even though she had only managed to sneak a peek the other night, she had a good memory. This Mo Yanzhi person was seated right in the middle—there was no way he wouldn’t recognize her.

She smiled out—that was as good as greeting them for her—and said, “I’m going to swim now.”

“Jiayou, Little Sister Shi Guang!” Chu Mubei cheered. As though he suddenly remembered something, he continued, “Oh, right, Old Lu is here as well! But, he went over to fetch someone really important.”

With the pressure mounting on her, Shi Guang smiled embarrassedly before leaving without turning back at all. It didn’t matter to her who was here to watch the event—she had to enter her ‘swim’ mode.

The preliminary heats were about to begin, and Shi Guang was arranged for the 5th group. When the staff called for the 5th group on the loudspeaker, she took in a deep breath of air and stood up. Zhang Shulin, who was at the side, stood at the viewing platform in front with his little notebook while Chu Mubei and Mo Yanzhi were waving at her.

Lu Yanchen was here as well, their gazes meeting at that moment. Even though they were quite a distance away, she could make out his deep and profound eyes.

And to her surprise, she actually caught sight of Shen Lingshuang! So, the important person that Chu Mubei had mentioned was Shen Lingshuang!

Shi Guang blinked for a moment as she felt her heart clutching a little—she was starting to get nervous now.

“Beep, beep!”

The whistle sounded out as the referees stood up and walked forth while the swimmers took their positions. Shi Guang walked over to the 3rd lane and covered her eyes with her goggles. Closing her eyes to focus, she placed every last bit of her attention onto that azure blue swimming lane before her…
