LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 64: Ballet in the Water?
After the two had dived underwater, everyone watched from the side.
Zeng Jing looked up and noticed, without knowing when, several doctors in white coats had already arrived at the shore.
Seeing the doctors gathering and talking, Zeng Jing immediately had a bad feeling.
This scene, why did it seem so familiar?
While she was puzzled, a girl next to her suddenly spoke up,
"Isn't that Wu Bin? He looks quite similar."
"It must be, look there are photographers and doctors here, it's definitely him."
"Ah? Really him? Won't he be in trouble in the water now?"
Just as everyone was discussing fervently, Wu Bin started to flail helplessly in the water.
The faces of the male swimming team members instantly showed scornful smiles.
"Lasted less than a minute? This Wu Bin really is useless."
"He's that fragile university student who became famous for being sick and hospitalized, so laughable."
"Yeah, someone like him who's always ill doesn't deserve to live, and yet he's become an internet celebrity, how bizarre."
Physical education students are taught from a young age to be faster, higher, and stronger.
Survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle.
For them, these ideas were perfectly normal.
After all, in sports, everything is about numbers.
If you're good, you play.
If you're not good, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.
So naturally, they didn't have a good impression of someone like Wu Bin, who was handsome but physically weak.
Seeing Wu Bin dancing under the water, they naturally thought he couldn't hold on much longer and should surface soon.
Even Ding Xin felt that this opponent was too weak.
A minute?
I could hold my breath for a minute when I was in kindergarten.
However, to everyone's surprise, Wu Bin quickly regained his composure and instead leisurely began to perform Gangnam Style underwater.
Everyone: ???
Wait, you can dance underwater?
Then why did you weigh yourself down with a rock, weren't you trying to conserve energy?
Actually, they were completely wrong.
With the aid of "Gale Breath", being underwater was no different for Wu Bin than being on land.
Wu Bin took a stone underwater purely to maintain his balance.
After all, he wasn't good at swimming, and it would be embarrassing to lose the competition by floating to the surface.
Seeing Ding Xin unresponsive, Wu Bin moved in front of him, placed his right hand on the top of his right foot, and gently caressed upward while his left hand beckoned Ding Xin with a hooked finger.
Pfft.
The people on the shore instantly burst into laughter.
Underwater, Ding Xin also couldn't help but release a string of bubbles.
"I protest!"
The university team boys couldn't stand it any longer, raising their hands in protest!
"This is interfering with the competition! Using such underhanded tactics, he should be directly disqualified!"
Song Bing retorted sarcastically from the sideline.
"Well, it's not said that you can't dance underwater. What, should breath-holding competitions require us to squat like we're defecating?"
"That would totally lack aesthetic appeal."
"As long as there is no physical contact between the two sides, it doesn't count as interference."
Song Bing's retort left the university players at a loss for words.
And Wu Bin's cunning moves continued.
Seeing Ding Xin close his eyes and avoid looking at him, Wu Bin sneered inwardly.
You think you can just close your eyes to solve the problem?
You really underestimate me, the cunning rascal.
In front of everyone, Wu Bin threw a kick directly at Ding Xin's face.
The university team boys quickly pointed at Wu Bin.
"Look! Look! There was physical contact!"
However, just when everyone thought Wu Bin had broken the rules,
Wu Bin's foot stopped a fist's distance from Ding Xin's face.
Wu Bin's kick didn't land, but the water, relying on inertia, still heavily slapped Ding Xin's face.
Song Bing spread his hands.
"He didn't actually kick him, there was no physical contact."
All the boys on the school swimming team clenched their fists.
Damn it!
Shameless!
So we can play it like this, huh!
The viewers in the live broadcast room burst out laughing.
"True to form, my brother Wu still has such tricky moves, I'm dying of laughter."
"As everyone knows, you can unleash 'qi' waves in the water."
"Everyone sit down, basic operations, no chaos."
"But brother Wu's lung capacity is really impressive. Making such big movements underwater, he must be consuming more oxygen than Ding Xin, right?"
"This shows that my brother Wu still has some great skills."
Three minutes had passed, and Wu Bin was still very active underwater.
At this moment, Head Instructor Yang Kang was rushing to the swimming pool non-stop.
He ran while calling Xu Wenyao.
"Principal, there's a big problem!"
Xu Wenyao instinctively turned his phone volume to maximum.
"What's happening, speak louder."
"Wu Bin is having a breath-holding competition at the swimming pool, and I have a strong feeling, a very strong feeling that he's going to crash!"
"Who is he competing with?"
"The head coach of the school swimming team, Ding Xin!"
Hearing Yang Kang say this, Xu Wenyao's eyes narrowed slightly, and his brain began working rapidly.
Ding Xin's profile flashed through his mind.
Ding Xin, the son of Ding Qiang from the school board.
And who is Ding Qiang?
He happened to be his archenemy.
Just last week, he had proposed building a medical building specifically for Wu Bin within the school, and it was this Ding Qiang who objected.
Xu Wenyao sneered inwardly.
Great, just great!
Heaven is helping me too!
You want to oppose me?
Now let me show you how necessary this medical building really is!
After clarifying his thoughts, Xu Wenyao asked calmly:
"Has Xie Shan rushed over yet?"
Yang Kang was stunned, not understanding Xu Wenyao's intention.
"Principal, even if something happens to Student Wu Bin, it's pointless for old Xie to rush over."
Xu Wenyao rolled his eyes.
"How is it pointless? His arrival at least shows our school's attitude, proving that our school's rescue measures are in place."
"Also, immediately notify all staff to stay at the swimming pool, and I'll inform the school board to come and observe as well."
Xu Wenyao's words left Yang Kang's head buzzing.
"But, Principal, what are we observing and learning?"
"Shouldn't we be stopping this competition right now? It's too dangerous!"
Xu Wenyao said soberly:
"Old Yang, how do you still not understand?"
"We are using this opportunity to let all staff understand that many safety measures in the school are inadequate, and danger can occur at any moment!"
"Especially those who rely on their connections within the school board to act recklessly and domineeringly!"
Now Yang Kang understood; Xu Wenyao was using Wu Bin to eliminate his rivals!
Yang Kang asked quietly, "But Principal, if we don't stop this competition, what about Student Wu Bin's safety?"
Xu Wenyao said meaningfully, "You must trust Student Wu Bin, and the professional medical team around him."
"Even if something unexpected happens, Wu Bin is sacrificing for our school's reforms, which is a very honorable thing."
"Besides, I didn't say we shouldn't stop it; my office is so far from the swimming pool that it's only logical for me to be slow, right?"
Yang Kang: ...
