Three years after they broke up, the champion ex opened a club in her city.
Everyone thought it was a romantic reunion, but Ai Xiaomi felt that it was more like a silent "revenge" planned by Fu Yiyang.
Back then, he was a rising star in the swimming world, and she was his high school girlfriend. When they graduated, one went north for the Olympic dream, and the other went south for a stable reality. The love of youth came to an abrupt end at the crossroads of reality.
Three years later, while she was in the dating market in Xiamen, he retired with a gold medal in the world competition and many injuries. She thought she would be separated by mountains and seas for the rest of her life, but he quietly came to her city, opened a club opposite her home, and even became a guest coach at her school.
When she was troubled by persistent pursuers, he would always appear at the right time and come to her rescue as her "boyfriend"; when a typhoon cut off the power to the entire city, he walked in the wind and rain just to give her a light.
He pressed forward step by step, but she backed away.
Until he cornered her by the club's swimming pool, his eyes were red and his voice was hoarse: "Ai Xiaomi, I didn't wait for three years to be your neighbor."
Later, he proposed to her under the starlight.
He said: "The Olympic gold medal is an honor dedicated to the country, but you and this place are the glory that I will try my best to win back."
