His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

Shi Guang rambled on and on, unable to contain the excitement in her heart as she broke out in huge smiles.

Zhang Shulin was equally delighted. However, now was not the time to be rejoicing yet, as his face suddenly went stern while he spoke solemnly, “Indeed, you’ve done well unleashing your strength today. However, you mustn’t be proud. This is only a preliminary heat—the finals half a month later are the most important.”

Shi Guang nodded her head. “Yes, coach! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely work even harder!”

Head Coach Li walked over at this moment as well as he looked at Shi Guang with a bright smile. “Work hard for the finals! I’ll be waiting for you to join the team.”

Zhang Shulin glanced at him and snorted coldly, “Who was the one who said that somebody is definitely out for sure?”

Head Coach Li went awkward immediately as he coughed out twice to cover up. “W-What are you talking about old fogey!”

Head Coach Li then glared at Zhang Shulin, as though implying—Ass! How dare you slap my face! Better stop that lest you want me to make things difficult for you in the future!

Shi Guang held back her laughter and turned away.

As though he had suddenly remembered something, Head Coach Li raised his voice slightly, “Oh, reporters from the Sports Daily are here as well. They want to find a few outstanding swimmers for interviews. Come, come, come! You’ll follow me…!”

Shi Guang was stunned.

Interview? She had better forget about it—she wasn’t cut out for stuff like that. However, Zhang Shulin had already agreed to it readily and pushed her forward

Other than Shi Guang, there was another man and woman who was called for this interview.

The man was called Gao Yang—he had the best results in the men’s category. As for the other woman, she was Lin Qiqi, who was in the same group as Shi Guang earlier on.

When Lin Qiqi saw Shi Guang, she raised her brow. Catching that, the reporter asked sharply right away, “Qiqi, you could be considered as the top-seeded swimmer for the preliminary heats this time around! Towards getting 2nd place in your group, what do you feel about that?”

This was an online live broadcast as the camera head was aimed at Lin Qiqi fixatedly, anticipating a sensational reply. After a silence of more than 10 seconds, Lin Qiqi smiled out gently, “There are always wins and losses in competitions. We should all take it in our strides.”

That was a really political reply.

Looking at how there was no scoop there, the reporter then turned toward Shi Guang before asking out in giggles, “Shi Guang, since you’ve taken down Lin Qiqi, do you think that she could still be considered as the most outstanding seeded swimmer in this preliminary heat?”

It was a really tricky question. If she were to admit that Lin Qiqi was outstanding and she wasn’t outstanding enough, yet someone like that had managed to beat a seeded swimmer like Lin Qiqi, that would be a really hypocritical answer.

But, if she answered no, that would be looking down on Lin Qiqi directly.

Truly, every single question of these reporters was just a trap laid down craftily.

Shi Guang smiled out before speaking up slowly, “Everyone’s outstanding!”

“Everyone? Who are you referring to by everyone?”

“Everyone?”

“Everyone? So, you think that even the last swimmer’s standards are similar to yours?”

“Everyone has been putting in a lot of effort.”

“So, you feel that effort determines standards?”

“I feel that it’s most important for one to be happy.”

This was the first time the reporter was left speechless by someone. “…”

Even though it was clear that the answer wasn’t responding to her question exactly, it didn’t really deviate that much either.

Qiqi, who was standing by the side, chortled out with a stifled chuckle. But sensing that the situation wasn’t right, she held it back right away.

After the reporter left, Lin Qiqi finally could not take it anymore as she thumped on the table in laughter. Gao Yang laughed out as well, “You’re really something!”

Lin Qiqi added in, “TRULY something! I remember how afraid I was of responding to reporters usually, and would have to think really long for every single question. Teach me! How do you respond to someone such that they’re left speechless?”

Shi Guang’s face = 囧 “…”

She was just speaking the truth =.=
