When Zhang Shulin saw how distracted Shi Guang was, he merely thought that she was dissatisfied with her results for the preliminary heats and consoled her, “The 50m was not your forte to begin with. Even if you can’t get 1st place for it, don’t worry too much.”
Shi Guang recovered from her stupor. “Oh, ok!”
Looking at how she was, he reflected about whether he had been giving her too much pressure as he consoled once more, “Don’t give yourself too much pressure. You’ve already achieved what you promised me, one 1st place title. Take the rest of the events as training. Be at ease, at ease!”
Shi Guang smiled. “Sure, coach!”
She felt as though her coach resembled her sister at times.
When she was too carefree, Feifei would always be flustered in her place, worried that she was not focused on the competition and might not get good results. But when she was truly nervous, her sister would get even more flustered, wondering if she had been giving too much pressure and started consoling her instead.
Feifei…
Suddenly, a thought flashed by Shi Guang’s mind as her eyes widened.
That single smile of Rong Mo earlier on… It resembled Feifei! That’s right!
How had she not realized earlier that those eyes resembled her sister’s?
Was it because her sister had been sleeping too long that she nearly forgot how her eyes looked like?
Rong Mo was truly really similar to Feifei.
In Shi Guang’s mind, her memories of Feifei started melding with Rong Mo’s image.
Could it be…?
But Rong Mo was a man?
Or perhaps, he was just pretending to be a man? After all, he himself had never once proclaimed that he was a man…!
That line of thought had Shi Guang’s heart pounding as she turned around, wanting to leave.
Gao Yang tugged at her bag. “Where are you going, Shi Guang? The car is coming soon.”
“I’m heading to the toilet. Wait for me a little,” Shi Guang left her bag with Gao Yang and ran in the direction Rong Mo left in earlier on.
She was sprinting as hard as she could while searching along the way. Yet, she did not catch sight of that young man she had seen earlier on. When she passed by someone, she asked instantly, “Sorry, have you seen a tall and skinny young man with a face mask?”
“Young man? Face mask? He seemed to have gone to the right… A-A-Ahhh! You’re Shi Guang?”
This was a spectator who had come to watch the event. By the time he realized the person who was asking him the question was Shi Guang, she had already sprinted off. However, there were many spectators of the swimming competition that Shi Guang ran across still.
“She’s so tall! Her figure’s so nice!”
“She’s so pretty! Her skin’s so fair!”
“She’s much prettier than on television!”
…
As everyone were discussing, they crowded around her, and thus, Shi Guang did not dare to continue searching at the viewing platform in front. Instead, she chose to double back.
She then searched around the back area. Still, no signs of the young man.
Shi Guang was heaving heavily, thinking of asking her coach for her phone so that she could get Lu Yanchen to find out more about this Rong Mo person.
Just then, at the entrance, she caught sight of a person in a black suit, looking like a bodyguard. Pulling open the door of a car, he faced Rong Mo that was approaching and greeted politely, “Young Master!”
Young Master? Could she have been mistaken? Was he truly a man?
But how was he so similar…?
Before Rong Mo got into the car, he looked toward Shi Guang’s direction and knitted his brows, seemingly pondering about something. His eyes were dim under the shadows of the baseball cap, looking distant and icy.
On second thought, that did not really resemble Feifei’s eyes now.
Could she truly have been mistaken earlier on?
