Chapter 5: Zou Yameng’s Worry

Chuanhai City Women’s Sports School is a famous women’s sports school in the country, known as the youth training camp of the national women’s team. Compared with the students of Sichuan No. 1 Middle School, who are either rich or noble, the athletes of Sichuan Sports are much more ordinary. They rarely talk about luxury goods and car brands, but are more concerned about the schedule for the second half of the year.

Today is September 1st, the first day of school at Sichuan Sports. Of course, the girls of Sichuan Sports don’t care whether school starts or not. After all, they have two seasons a year to train in the gymnasium, and the remaining two seasons to participate in competitions all over the country.

Zou Yameng finished today’s training. She brushed her sweaty hair back, her face flushed and sweaty. Whenever she has to participate in the provincial league, she will consciously double the amount of training - in one week she will participate in the six-province league as a representative of Sichuan Sports.

This year is her last year in Sichuan Sports. Sports students like them cannot apply for university. If they are not admitted by a team above the city before graduation, they can only apply for a physical education teacher in the county - then her hard work over the years will be worthless. Zou Yameng submitted applications to the provincial teams of three neighboring provinces this year, but no team responded to her. Perhaps it was because she was still an unknown? Because she had not won a place in the provincial competition?

Zou Yameng unscrewed the bottle cap and gulped down a mouthful of sweet mineral water. She wanted to continue training, but was stopped by the coach.

The coach was a retired national team player who had worked in Sichuan Sports University for more than 20 years. She had a diligent husband and an obedient daughter. Zou Yameng often envied the coach and felt that the coach had a perfect life, had won trophies, and had a happy family. She always built her own dreams based on the coach’s life.

“You should pay attention to rest.” The coach, who always urged the girls to train, looked worried at this time, “Your training intensity is too high, which is a big burden on the body and is prone to hidden diseases. I heard that you had a cramp in your leg during training yesterday?”

It’s just a cramp, not a big deal. Zou Yameng thought so in her heart, and if she didn’t fight hard, how could she get into the provincial team? This six-province league might be the last major league this year. If she missed this time, she would really have no chance. She knew that Li Zi wanted to go to college, but they had no money. If she joined the provincial team, she would get 8,000 yuan a month and 50,000 yuan in prize money. As long as she won a few more games, wouldn’t Li Zi’s tuition for college be paid?

The coach said a lot earnestly, and Zou Yameng listened obediently, but her inner thoughts did not waver at all. She felt that her body was still young and could withstand high-intensity exercise. There would be no problems for at least five years, right?

The gym was closed, and Zou Yameng could only leave with her teammates carrying a shoulder bag.

The girls in the women’s sports school were more enthusiastic and lively than ordinary female high school students. The toned thighs exposed outside the sports shorts were dazzling in the sunset. Zou Yameng’s friend hugged her waist and wailed, “Ya~meng, Coach Dan is a jerk~I’m so tired~Can you hug me and let me replenish my energy?”

Several girls laughed together, and Zou Yameng also laughed and scolded, “Why don’t you go and hug your boyfriend?”

“Woo woo~We broke up, we broke up last month.” The girl pouted, “Men are really bad. Do you remember the last time we went to Jindong for a competition?”

Jindong is located in the far north, with a vast area and sparse population, and is very far from Sichuan and the sea. Zou Yameng was deeply impressed by the trip to Jindong. Not only was the journey long and tiring, but she was also abused by a women’s school team in Jindong. On the way back, everyone was listless and lost.

“Didn’t it take us two months to go to Jindong? After just two months of not seeing each other, that bastard fell in love with someone else!” The girl showed a bitter face, “He also said that I couldn’t accompany him often, and he couldn’t feel the warmth of his girlfriend. You judge, I train hard every day and have to participate in competitions, how can I have the energy to date my boyfriend?”

Girls always form a united front on such things, and the girls clamorously criticize the unfaithful man. Zou Yameng felt a sense of crisis that shouldn’t exist. She was about to participate in the six-province league, which lasted for more than a month. Would Li Zi bring back a girlfriend when she came back?

She wouldn’t have such little woman worries, but recently when she was with Lu Li, she always had all kinds of unconfident thoughts. When she saw the fashionable girls walking on the street, she still had a strange feeling of self-deprecation. These delicate thoughts came up in the past few days, and God can prove that she has always been contemptuous of those little women who are greasy and moaning without illness.

“Yes, yes, men are all like this. Alas, it’s so hard to be a woman.”

“Hmph, let them bleed a few days a month and you’ll know. They are a bunch of unfaithful men.”

Zou Yameng subconsciously wanted to avoid this topic, so she took out her phone and pretended to check the news. Someone exaggeratedly exclaimed: “Yameng, did you change your phone? What a beautiful phone~ Hehe, who gave it to you?”

Zou Yameng felt a little proud. It was given to me by my lovely brother, but she was worried that they would keep asking questions, so she pouted: “Can’t I buy it myself?” You don’t have such a sensible brother, hum, I won’t tell you.

“Tsk~ Yameng, you are usually so stingy, how could you be willing to spend money to buy such a beautiful phone.”

“It must be a man who gave it to you.”

“No wonder you looked like you wanted to say something but stopped yourself, oh, Yameng, is your spring coming?”

Zou Yameng blushed. They always talked without restraint. If they continued to talk, she didn’t know what nonsense she would say, so she hurriedly explained: “My brother gave it to me. He earned money from his summer job.” She was very conflicted. She wanted to show off her brother, but she didn’t want them to pay attention to him. She found an excuse for herself. These women are always heartless. She was protecting Lu Li from the attack of the female jackal.

“Yameng, you actually have a brother, why didn’t you tell us?”

“I think I’ve seen him. Is he the one who gave you clothes at the school gate last time?”

Zou Yameng didn’t expect that they still remembered that Lu Li had given you clothes once. That day, she was in a hurry to go out and didn’t bring her training clothes. When she arrived at school, she found that when she was anxious, Lu Li had already come to her with clothes.

“That fair-skinned boy? Ah, I have an impression of him.”

“Hehe, Yameng, you still hide a younger brother and don’t tell us, you are really mean. Send his photo and contact information quickly, so that I can check if he is developing normally~”

They laughed and made a lot of jokes, and Zou Yameng’s face became redder and redder. Fortunately, the afterglow of the sunset covered her blush, otherwise she would have to find a crack in the ground to hide in. In fact, she was usually immune to the dirty words of her teammates. She knew that these girls were all greedy and timid, and they would hide far away from good men. But today, when she heard them talk about Lu Li, she couldn’t keep calm.
