Inspirational Synopsis:
At twenty-four, Shen Tinglan won gold in every men's short track speed skating event, becoming an eternal legend of the sport.
Unfortunately...
His life ended that same year.
Back in his youth, Shen Tinglan was a chubby little guy who ran five kilometers every day, determined to lose weight.
His first thought was that if he naturalized now, he wouldn't have to sit out for three years.
So what was he waiting for?
Shen Tinglan immediately called his unreliable mother, who was living abroad, and asked to become a Chinese citizen.
Mrs. Shen was overjoyed. "Darling, welcome back!"
When she learned that her beloved son wanted to learn speed skating, she thoughtfully sent him to train with an old classmate of hers.
Shen Tinglan was reluctant, but the moment he saw the coach, he eagerly trotted after him. Wasn't this Coach Wu, who had nearly been driven to his wits' end by Shen Tinglan in his previous life, and had been both father and mother to him?
Coach Wu agreed to take the chubby kid along as a favor to his classmate, who had given him a generous sponsorship. The kid would give up and go home once he realized how tough it was.
Who could have guessed that during the tryouts, the short, stocky kid would leave everyone in the dust? Even the best skater at the provincial sports school couldn't get a glimpse of his backside!
Coach Wu: "???"
Had he just struck gold?
Version One:
Shen Tinglan, a short track speed skating Grand Slam champion, had draped himself in the national flag and hadn't even had time to celebrate before he fell hard from the podium onto the ice.
When he opened his eyes again, he was fourteen, a rookie who had just started short track speed skating and was drilling the basics.
No injuries, and no one there to push him one step further.
Version Two:
In his previous life, Zhou Shiyu had accidentally lost his short life for Shen Tinglan's sake.
To fulfill Zhou Shiyu's dream, Shen Tinglan chose to naturalize and join the national short track speed skating team.
After becoming a Grand Slam gold medalist, he opened his eyes again and found himself back at fourteen.
With a backpack on his shoulders, Shen Tinglan chose to naturalize once more. He decided to stay away from that man. Having nothing to do with each other was the best thing he could do for Zhou Shiyu.
When he followed his coach to the rink, he saw a bright, handsome boy skate toward him like an arrow and say, with an especially sharp tongue, "Coach, where'd you find this little girl? She looks just like a doll, and she's going to skate? Is this a joke?"
Shen Tinglan: "..." Blocked!
Later, Zhou Shiyu said, "I want to apologize to Shen Tinglan for how obnoxious I was as a teenager. Lan, can you forgive me?"
Shen Tinglan: "Do you have any gold medals?"
Zhou Shiyu: "Gold medals? Just you wait! I'll win some and show you!"
No romance before adulthood.
