Chapter 1519 White Moonlight in the Water
After receiving the report, Shen Ze was very calm, and even had a vague feeling in his heart that "it's just as I expected".
Disappointed?
It is somewhat true, after all, they were teammates who once lived and ate together, and partners who won glory for the country together, but not everyone thinks like him.
He accepted the examination calmly and walked out cleanly under the gaze of a group of serious people.
When Lin Zidong saw him, the panic on his face was clearly visible.
Shen Ze just glanced at it indifferently and did not reveal the matter at this critical juncture. He just went to find Xue Hongying and told her that she had to change dormitories.
Xue Hongying looked at him with an evasive look. After a moment's silence, she agreed to his request and moved him to the same dormitory with Zhuang Cheng.
Zhuang Cheng didn't know what was going on, he just felt happy. While helping him make the bed, he muttered that this was how it should be.
Shen Ze didn't say anything, but just smiled and told him to have a good rest as the competition would start tomorrow.
Being in a foreign country, the audience was filled with compatriots who came to the scene to cheer for the team. When Shen Ze came out on behalf of the motherland, he won rounds of applause.
Standing by the clear water pool, I suddenly felt as if I was reborn in another world.
But he quickly calmed down, knowing that every game he played would be a tough one. Not only would he represent himself, but he would also represent his country, and also...whether he was qualified to stand by her side.
Shi Li may not care, but as a man, Shen Ze cannot help but care. His self-esteem and pride do not allow him to pursue love as a loser.
So, he must win!
Preliminary round, win.
Semi-finals, qualified.
By the last final, there were only seven top world-class players left on the field, all of them white, with Shen Ze being the only yellow man, standing out and conspicuous among them.
At this time, many audiences from different countries in the same continent could not help but cheer for him, hoping that he would make a breakthrough, even if reaching the finals was already a breakthrough from his past.
The moment he entered the water, Shen Ze could no longer hear any sound. He seemed to have merged with the water and was moving freely and smoothly in the water.
He couldn’t see anyone else, couldn’t feel the noise in the audience, there was only him, and only the obsession in his heart.
Let the flag fly, let the national anthem play, let him... walk towards her with pride.
The moment his fingertips touched the pool wall, Shen Ze seemed to have just escaped from his own world. He poked his head out of the water and looked around in a daze.
The first thing that caught his eye was a white guy in the next lane, who was looking at him with admiration and clapping his hands gently.
Shen Ze realized something and turned to look at the big screen.
The first thing I saw was not my name, but a similar bright red color at the top.
The most familiar color is the color of the national flag!
There was a strange buzzing in my ears, and it seemed as if I could no longer hear anything.
Shen Ze opened his mouth, but no sound came out. It was not until someone lifted his arm that he came to his senses and looked behind him.
He is...number one!
He won the championship at the World Games, world champion!
In the surrounding audience stands, so many compatriots couldn't help screaming and crying that Shen Ze's eyes felt slightly warm. This sense of national pride was innate.
I don't know how he finally walked out of the water, bowed mechanically to the people around him, took off his swimming cap and showed the national flag on it.
Thousands of miles away, Shi Li sat in front of the big screen and cried.
She spent every day with the athletes at the base and knew too well how hard they worked every day. When she saw Shen Ze finally realize his dream, she could no longer help but feel proud of him.
