Fated Ten Rings

[Bai Hangrui is the ten-for-ten reunion that Qi Zhao has waited years for; Qi Zhao is the one and only person Bai Hangrui never expected to meet]

The 2023 Asian Games are held in Hangzhou, China.

Qi Zhao, a red-hot, undefeated champion currently competing for the national team, runs into Bai Hangrui in Hangzhou, the once-arrogant prodigy who ruled the world of sports.

It's their reunion after five years, and the ending everyone has been waiting for.

People say Qi Zhao's greatest ambition in his career is to defeat Bai Hangrui and claim the title of China's number one.

Qi Zhao hears this, turns toward the press area crowded with microphones, and answers with the swagger of a street punk:

"As if he's even worthy."

A year later, the Paris Olympics come to an end.

When everything has finally settled, Bai Hangrui bows his head on the shooting podium as the overall champion below places the one-of-a-kind gold medal around his neck.

Later, Xu Jingjing asks Qi Zhao, "Is he still worthy of being your rival?"

Qi Zhao, the youngest Grand Slam champion in the world of sports, nods. "He will always be the dream and goal I'm striving toward."

Xu Jingjing: "Even though he's never stood on a podium?"

Qi Zhao: "In my heart, he's always been a world champion."

You may not shine brilliantly, but you have always been a warm light.

May you look back years from now and still have no regrets about the person you were as a boy.
