Ling Li’s eyes filled with tears, her heart swelling with joy. She reached up, her fingers intertwining with his, their hands creating an unbreakable connection. "Chu Yan, I’ve never been more certain of anything in my life. I want to spend the rest of my days with you," she replied, her voice cracking with emotion.

As they lay there, lost in each other’s love, the world outside continued to move, but within their embrace, nothing else mattered. The time was theirs, a canvas upon which they would paint the story of their love, their hearts beating in perfect harmony.
It was already late afternoon when everyone emerged from their respective rooms, well-rested and ready to face the evening. Only Lily had not taken a break; she had spent the entire afternoon engrossed in her gymnastic training. Fatty, her ever-loyal companion, chose to forego his rest and stayed by his little girlfriend, Lily’s side, witnessing her grueling training regimen for the first time.
Fatty’s heart ached for Lily as he observed the intensity and rigor of her exercises. With the renowned international gymnastics Coach Carlos pushing Lily to the brink of perfection, Fatty’s protective instincts flared. He wanted to rush forward and confront Coach Carlos, but he knew that any interference would be counterproductive. He understood Lily’s determination to perfect each routine after an exhaustive warm-up. Fatty could only endure his heartache silently, supporting Lily with gritted teeth, clenched fists, and a heavy heart.
When Fatty saw Lily’s uneven bar routine for the first time, his heart nearly leaped out of his chest. His instinct was to run to her side and catch her, but Coach Carlos’s fierce glare held him in place. If looks could kill, Fatty would have been laid to rest many times over by now. Fatty sat still and could only endure his anxiety, his eyes fixed on Lily, watching her every move from a distance.
Fatty’s internal struggle was palpable. His hands clenched into tight fists, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he silently willed Lily to succeed. His mind raced with a flurry of emotions—fear, admiration, and helplessness all mingling together. Each time Lily launched herself into the air, Fatty held his breath, praying for her safe landing.
Lily’s uneven bar routine was indeed a spectacle, especially for someone naive about gymnastics. She was attempting one of the most challenging routines in the sport, rated G, known as the ’Full Twister-Gienger.’ The routine began with a powerful run-up, followed by a leap to the high bar. The first component, the ’full twist,’ required Lily to perform a 360-degree twist in mid-air while gripping the high bar. This twist showcased her control and precision, leaving the audience in awe.
As the twist is completed, Lily releases the bar and transitions into the ’Gienger flip,’ a backflip executed with grace and speed. Fatty and Coach Carlos’ assistants gasped, their eyes fixed on her elegant form. Lily’s agility and coordination were nothing short of remarkable. The routine then transitioned to the ’re-grasping the bar,’ where Lily reached out and re-grasped the bar with perfect timing, seamlessly catching it in mid-air. Fatty and the rest couldn’t help but applaud their admiration for her growing with each move.
The routine concluded with the ’dismount.’ Lily swung forward, released the bar once more, and executed a final flip before landing solidly on the mat. The combination of twisting and flipping required immense strength, precision, and artistry, making the Full Twister-Gienger a spectacular highlight in any gymnastics performance.
Fatty was utterly flabbergasted, his mouth agape in astonishment. He was brought back to reality by Coach Carlos’s loud voice. "Good, you executed the routine without a fall, but we need it to be more solid. I want to see more strength, power, and speed."
"I will work harder, Coach," Lily replied politely, determination gleaming in her eyes.
"Let’s do it again," Coach Carlos commanded.
Fatty’s face turned black, worse than a pot.
After several more attempts, Coach Carlos finally said, "Let’s call it a day. Do your cool-down exercises."
"Thank you, Coach," Lily said with a smile, content with her days training.
Fatty’s face was as dark as a storm cloud. In his eyes, each of Lily’s performances had been flawless, but what did he know about the intricacies of gymnastics?
When Coach Carlos saw Fatty’s expression, he snorted coldly. He muttered, "Overprotective, aren’t we?" before walking away, leaving Fatty to simmer in his frustration.
Fatty sat on the bench, his eyes never leaving Lily as she performed her cool-down exercises under the watchful eye of Coach Carlos’s subordinate. Each stretch and movement she made only heightened his admiration and concern. He clenched his fists, feeling a storm of emotions swirl inside him.
When Lily finally finished, she bounded over to Fatty with a spring in her step, her face beaming with satisfaction. However, her smile faltered when she saw the stormy expression on his face.
