1V1, HE, slow heat.
Dedicated to everyone who has ever given up and started again.
I hope everyone can win the championship in their own life.
Chen Shi has two dreams: Olympic gold medal and Tao Xi.
From the age of eight to seventeen, they shared the same pool of water and discovered an underwater secret language that only each other understood.
He said: "We want to swim to the highest stage together."
She nodded with bright eyes, without telling him that her "highest point" was the corner of his eyes when he looked at her with a smile.
Later he realized that what he said on that rainy night, "Don't waste my expectations," was a waste of her last bit of courage and their nine years.
When we met again, he was a new Olympic champion and she had a PhD in sports psychology.
He has a gold medal on his shoulders, as well as old injuries.
She held the paper in her hand, as well as the unhealed pain.
Small Theater
While sorting out old things, Tao Xi discovered Chen Shi's Olympic gold medal in the corner of the study.
It comes carefully packaged in a velvet box, but the box has minor signs of wear around the outer edges.
She opened it curiously and found a small note stuck on the back of the gold medal. The handwriting was rubbed and blurred:
"The 47th night my shoulder injury recurred. I couldn't sleep because of the pain. I held it and thought about what she would say if she were here.
—2015.3.10"
There is also a newer line of writing below:
"I showed her this note today. She said, 'You should call me when it hurts, not hold cold metal.'"
Then he kissed my scar.
The second use of the gold medal: a qualification that makes her feel distressed.
—2018.11.7"
Purpose: Be the champion of your own life
