Lin Qiqi looked at him in disdain, teasing him on purpose, “I think Coach Zhang probably feels that he only has enough attention to spare for me and Shi Guang, and hence, he just fitted an extra in.”

When he heard that, Gao Yang’s face sunk down. “Qiqi, for real…?”

Shi Guang chuckled out as she couldn’t bear to see him getting abused. “Gao Yang, don’t worry! Our coach is not someone like that.”

Lin Qiqi used her elbow to nudge at Gao Yang gently. “Haha, are you silly or what? Can’t you tell that I was just pulling your leg?”

“But, that’s because I trust your words the most. I’ll believe anything you say,” As he said that, the guy’s face flushed red!

Lin Qiqi was embarrassed immediately. “T-Trust your head! If you don’t stop with your nonsense, I’m going to ignore you from now on!”

Shi Guang: “…”

Hell! If there were nothing going on between these two, she would definitely double her own training load tomorrow!

The three of them headed to the training hall together where Shi Guang listened to the two banter with one another in a relaxed and carefree tone along the way.

There were limited rooms at the training hall, and four people were assigned to a single dorm. It was only after Lin Qiqi came with Shi Guang that she realized that the latter was assigned a solo dorm! Immediately, she expressed her jealousy and declared that she wanted to stay with Shi Guang.

Naturally, Shi Guang agreed to it—she had quite a liking for Lin Qiqi who was chirpy and cheery, just like Li Fangfei.

After putting her stuff in the dorm, Shi Guang headed to the coach’s room to look for Zhang Shulin. He wasted no time on nonsense and threw the entire training schedule right at Shi Guang.

“Don’t start complaining now about how heavy the training schedule is and whatnot. You’ve already fallen behind for so many days. You should be thankful that I’m not even adding on anything additional, merely making you make up for what you’ve lost out on!”

Shi Guang lowered her head and took a look—this was a training schedule that couldn’t have been any more detailed.

Not only were there the training loads, there were also nutrition guidelines for every meal, with emphasis on the types of vitamins and health boosters she should take. In fact, even the health boosters were all prepared for her, with a huge bag of them placed before them. Only all natural and health tonics of the highest quality were there.

“Are these very expensive? How much did they cost? I’ll pay you back.” Shi Guang was horrified. She knew that her coach’s family background was only slightly well to do at best!

“Pay your head! Do you think that I bought them for you? What do I look like? A tycoon? How could I afford these for you!” Zhang Shulin replied as he brought the topic back onto the training schedule.

“Even though there are only two months left to this year, there are many events going on. After the Champion’s Cup at the start of December is the World Championship at the end of December. With such a tight schedule, your training is going to be extremely important. I heard that you’re also going to have your wedding in December as well. However, given the way things are right now, I think you should push that back a little. For both competitions, you’re going to have four events each—4x100m Female’s Relay, 50m, 100m, and 200m Freestyle events. You had better spend your energy racking your brains about how you should get the best results for them. It’ll be good if you can get top 3, and even better if you can get 1st!”

Shi Guang replied really seriously, “Coach, don’t worry, I’ll definitely try my best! I won’t promise that I’ll be able to nab a 1st place for every single event, but I’ll definitely bring one of them back home.”

“Just don’t throw my face!”

“I’ll absolutely not!” Shi Guang chuckled and asked, “Erm… so who bought these stuff?”

“Who do you think it could be? Who else?” After Coach Zhang was done, he waved his hands dismissively. “Alright, go go go! Don’t get back into the waters today. We’ll just have some recovery training in the afternoon to get you back into shape. Everything else will follow the schedule tomorrow!”

Shi Guang answered with a smile and returned to the dorm with her training schedule and health products.
