Chapter 56

 

 

Gu Yixin got up. He brushed his teeth, washed his face, and dressed up to go to the city sports school.

 

And he didn’t forget to leave Lu Mingshi a note.

 

It was already past nine o’clock when Lu Mingshi woke up. He then felt for Gu Yixin beside him.

 

But nobody was there.

 

And the sheets to his side were cool too.

 

??

 

Didn’t the movie’s production finish? Then why did he still leave?

 

Where is he?

 

Lu Mingshi got up from his bed in a daze and started looking all over his house. But he wasn’t able to find him.

 

He washed his face and checked once again but there was no sign of him in the house.

 

*Big black was still sleeping and this meant that Gu Yixin didn’t go out to take the dog for a walk.

                                                                                *their dog

 

With a heavy heart, he returned to the dining room. When he took the milk glass he saw the note on the bottom.

 

“I’ll return soon after reporting to a place.”

 

Lu Mingshi nodded. Oh yeah, he has to report to a place.

 

Wait. Reporting for what?

 

Where did he go?

 

He forgot all about what happened in the morning.

 

Lu Mingshi thought, he knew that we are not short on money. So why does he still need to go?

 

Men are hard to guess.

 

But Gu Yixin was not usually like that.

 

Lu Mingshi was a little depressed.

 

He couldn’t help taking out his phone and called Gu Yixin.

 

Gu Yixin was taking a physical test.

 

As soon as he arrived at the sports school, he was treated in an extremely good manner.

 

The principal, who usually does not come out in public, came out personally to help him enroll in the school.

 

The principal’s nephew who was standing behind the principal muttered a bit.

 

He was neither an internet celebrity nor did he have any foundation in sports. Why do you have to pay him so much attention?

 

He definitely has someone backing him.

 

The principal kindly instructed his nephew, “Da Dong, can you take little Gu to the test. And help make a plan that can improve him faster. We should get him to the Olympic’s level within this year itself.”

                                                               *Da= big [ because it is his oldest nephew ]

 

Da Dong was stunned, “Principal, but there are some difficulties…..”

 

The principal’s expression became stern, “What kind of difficulty are you talking about? You know that there are seniors above me.”

 

Big Dong checked if there was anybody nearby.

 

Bro….

 

Oops! No. Uncle

 

You shouldn’t carelessly make such remarks.

 

We will get caught.

 

Unaware of Big Dong’s thoughts, the principal turned around to repeat everything to Gu Yixin.

 

“Little Gu, You don’t have to worry. We will definitely help you find the best item that suits you. You just have to go and bring us eight medals this year in the Olympics.”

 

Big Dong reminded him, “Principal, swimming by itself can give you eight medals.”

 

Gu Yixin felt a bit awkward.

 

“Principal, even though I want to participate in the Olympics this year itself”

 

“It is impossible to do so.”

 

He paused and then reminded them of the important point.

 

“Because the Olympics are being held next year.”

 

The principal *opened his mouth but then closed it. He only realized this issue now.

                                                            *to say something

 

The principal touched his shiny head and smiled.

 

“How can you think that I forgot about it. It’s fine. Even if we don’t get to participate this year we can participate in the National sports event. So that you can practice before the Olympics.”

 

Gu Yixin nodded his head.

 

“Principal, do you need to get a gold medal from the Olympics to become a top-grade national athlete?”

 

Hearing him say “top grade” Big Dong almost choked.

 

Ain’t his goal a little bit high.

 

The principal explained to him, “To become a premium athlete first you have to be a top-grade athlete and then you have to contribute to the nation to be recognized and then a voting will be held.”

 

“Winning the Olympics medal is the most direct route in being one, but it is not mandatory.”

 

“You just have to reach a standard that is higher than the provincial level.”

 

Da Dong’s mouth twitched. It isn’t as easy as you said.

 

To reach that standard you have to practice from childhood and have to give all your efforts. Only a few can achieve it.

 

 None of us from our school has ever achieved it. 

 

Within the twenty years of this sports school, only 8 people got the second level. Their pictures are still hanging on the wall and the ninth one is still left blank. You still sigh whenever you wipe their frames, old man.

 

He made it look as if he were talking about buying a cabbage.

 

Gu Yixin asked, “When do *you think I can join the competition?”

                           *courteous you

 

The principal waved his hand and said, “Next week.”

 

Gu Yixin said, “okay”

 

Big Dong, ????

 

The nephew’s head was full of many questions.

 

But what he did not know at that time was that he was about to sink into a sea of confusion and question marks with what followed next.

 

Right after the enrollment was the physical test.

 

The first item was athletics.

 

“100 m for the first test, 200 m for the next, and 400 for the last.”

 

The principal and his nephew were also standing next to the coach in charge of the test. The venue was automatically monitored. So the test coach only had to hold the result showing screen in his hand to get the result of the test.

 

Gu Yixin had already changed his dress for running. He didn’t prepare sportswear but was wearing his shirt and pants set that had a 9.9% free shipping for it. But unexpectedly his shoes were brand new and shiny because he just brought them on his way there. 

 

Now he was standing on the starting line. He thought for a while and then leaned over to stand in his starting posture.

 

He was not a professional athlete nor had he ever seen one before.

 

Hearing the sound of the starter pistol, he hesitated a moment before sprinting.

 

The coach shook his head slightly.

 

The reaction was slow and this can make him lose a lot in 100s.

 

But after a few seconds, he was surprised.

 

The coach stared at the result receiver *doubting his entire life.

 

                                                           *surprised a lot.

 

The principal and the eldest nephew, who were also curious to see the result, were also frozen.

The three men looked at each other and the same thought surfaced in their minds simultaneously.

 

“I guess this device is broken. Maybe that is why it is not working properly.”

 

“It’s time for this device to be replaced.”

 

 “Get someone to fix this fast.”

 

Gu Yixin jogged over curiously and stood upright.

 

“Did I meet the standard coach?”

 

The coach was sweating: “Somewhat…… wait a minute.”

 

They got someone to check the equipment.

 

“There is no issue with it.”The technician who was called over from his vacation said. ”And this was bought just last year. So definitely there won’t be any problem. You can use it without any worries.”

 

The technician went off with his toolbox hanging in his hands.

 

The three members of the sports school watched the technician leaving, with a look of awe on their faces.

 

They turned to look at Gu Yixin with an even more bewildered look.

 

The principal was extremely moved.

 

It is a miracle. A miracle really happened.

 

“Big bro….”

 

The principal held Gu Yixin’s hands.

 

 “I have waited for twenty years, twenty whole years, and the destined man has finally appeared.”

 

The coach patted Gu Yixin’s shoulder in admiration.

 

“In each generation, there will be talented youths leading us for hundreds of years. You are the future of our nation’s athletics.”

 

The nephew was already speechless, and his brain was smoking due to strong stimuli.

 

Gu Yixin asked, “ Um… what score did I get?” 

 

The coach silently held up the screen in his hand to him.

 

The screen shockingly displayed the fact.

 

7.53

 

Gu Yixin, ”…………”

 

Gu Yixin tentatively asked, “I’m afraid this is a mistake made by the equipment. Am I right?”

 

When did I get so good at running?

 

How didn’t I get to know this?

 

He also vaguely remembers that before his transmigration, the world record was still 9.58 made by a Jamaican in the real world.

 

Although this world was a bit strange, most aspects were still similar to the original world.

 

I didn’t think that the human limit was different. Wow!!

 

The coach patted his shoulder and said in a stern expression, “We will give you a wild card to participate in next week’s provincial competition. I don’t think you need to practice with your current speed.”

 

 “You shouldn’t forget one thing at any cost.”

 

Gu Yixin was eager to hear about it, so he listened attentively.

 

The coach clapped his hands on Gu Yixin’s shoulders and sincerely said,

 “Please make sure to run a little slower.”

 

Gu Yixin, “…………..”

 

The coach’s words made perfect sense.

 

The provincial games will have a large audience watching the players attentively. The average score in the provincial games is 10.8 and the average for the Olympics is 10.5.

 

If Gu Yixin goes up and runs a 7.5, he probably won’t have to do anything and will be pulled directly to the capital for closed training, waiting to break the world record.

 

And the coach clearly remembered that Gu Yixin hesitated a bit before he started.

 

This meant that his speed could be higher than this.

 

Gu Yixin scratched his head, “I …. I will try my best.”

 

Coach said, “If you don’t have good control over it, then we can come over every morning and train for two hours to learn to slow it down.”

 

Gu Yixin nodded solemnly.

 

The nephew listened to this conversation. Why do I feel that something is wrong?

 

After confirming the athletics, they dropped by to test other items as well.

 

High jump.

 

Record 2.45, his limit 2.67.

 

Pole vault.

 

Men’s World Record 6.16 ……

 

However, Gu Yixin was a man who could pole vault with an iron bar.

So after he picked up the fiberglass professional pole, it flew across the sports field.

 

 

 

Long jump, triple jump,

 

Gu Yixin, who often got chances to jump over different buildings in the city, didn’t feel it to be difficult at all.

 

His shot put and discus throw almost smashed through the stadium.

 

When he took the javelin, the coach frantically went up to block him.

 

“We can’t continue to be in danger any longer.”

 

The stadium’s automatic monitor has been zapping and sparking since the time Gu Yixin flew up with the pole.

 

And by the time his discus smashed into the empty gallery, smoke began to arise from it.

 

The principal and the coach looked at each other and together came to a conclusion.

 

He must not be allowed to choose those scary items, a single carelessness during the competition can kill people!

 

Gu Yixin strangely glanced at the sluggish Dadong.

 

“Why is there smoke coming out of your head?”

 

The great-nephew messily touched the top of his head.

 

A handful of black ash is what he got.

 

“The brain was overloaded and it spontaneously combusted.”

 

His black-haired head became bald due to the fire.

 

Gu Yixin picked up Lu Mingshi’s phone call.

 

“Hello?”

 

“Where are you now?” Lu Mingshi sounded a bit anxious.

 

“The city gymnasium, I told you in bed this morning.”

Gu Yixin answered naturally.

 

“I’m done here, I’ll be home in a few minutes.”

 

He hung up the phone without thinking much.

 

The three people’s eyes were filled with the energy to gossip.

 

Coach: “Little Gu’s girlfriend is keeping a watch on him”.

 

Gu Yixin explained, “I don’t have a girlfriend.”

 

The nephew who recovered from his shock caught up, “Maybe it’s his boyfriend.”

 

Gu Yixin glanced at him and shook his head, “It’s not a boyfriend either.”

 

The principal laughed: “Anyways it is not important. We cannot inquire about people’s private affairs.”

 

Gu Yixin left there and returned home.

 

Lu Mingshi was waiting anxiously at the door.

 

    Gu Yixin walked slowly from the bus stop to home and saw a figure standing in front of his house from a long distance.

 

    Lu Mingshi’s clothes were made of special materials that gave warmth, even in winter there was no need for him to wear thick layers. Before he wore excessively just to hide the gradually bulging abdomen.

 

Right now he was standing in the courtyard entrance of his own suburban villa, so he naturally did not need to cover up.

 

The most eye-catching thing was the pair of long legs.

 

On top was a short brown leather jacket that stuck to his waist.

 

When Gu Yixin saw his figure, Lu Mingshi was looking down to fix a crease on his jacket.

 

Gu Yixin shouted from afar: “Get back in, what are you doing standing in the wind!”

 

Lu Mingshi raised his head and saw the guy who was coming from far.

 

Even though the wind was cold, he removed his jacket and wrapped it around Lu Mingshi’s waist while he only wore a sweatshirt since his body was already warm due to the excessive exercise he did.

 

The jacket was full of the youngster’s warmth.

 

“I came out to get some fresh air.”

 

Lu Mingshi coolly said with his hands in his jacket pockets.

 

Gu Yixin stood in front of him.

 

“I thought you were waiting for me.” He raised an eyebrow.

 

The teenager’s body still had the heat after the workout. Even while standing half a meter away he could still feel the warmth.

 

Lu Mingshi took out his hands from his pocket.

 

“Yeah, I was just waiting for you.”

 

Lu Mingshi grabbed Gu Yixin’s hand, which was cool to the touch.

 

He slipped them into his own pocket.

 

Lu Mingshi held Gu Yixin’s hands and led him back in.
