Chapter 114: Father and Son
Chapter 114: Father and Son
Outside the training hall of Hangzhou swimming pool...
"Achen, go in by yourself, I'll wait for you on the bench over there."
"Aren't you going together?"
"Do you still want to launch a family attack on me? I don't think I can bear it twice in a day." Yuan Hao said with lingering fear.
Yin Chen approached Yuan Hao with a suppressed smile, and said, "Coward."
This brat!I pushed my nose more and more on my face, but aggressive tactics are useless to me, Yuan Hao stretched out his hands and pushed Yin Chen, "Let's go, let's go, hurry up!"
The corner of Yin Chen's mouth raised slightly, "Alright then, I'll be back soon."
After Yin Chen finished speaking, he walked towards the venue, while Yuan Hao sat on a bench under the shade of a tree, took out his mobile phone boredly, and opened Weibo that he hadn't followed for a long time.
"Guess who I saw outside the stadium just now?" A 16-year-old swimmer who just joined the city team said excitedly to other athletes in the same team.
"Who is it?" The others responded weakly. After more than a month of hard training, those rookies were sore and weak, screaming in agony, and they had seen the horror of Coach Yin.
"Hey, hey! Why aren't you interested!?" The man murmured dissatisfied.
Still no one paid him any attention.
"I saw the grand slam player who was supposed to be in Rio this time!" The man deliberately raised his voice!
After listening to his words, the rookie player who had just joined the team, who was listless for a moment, surrounded the man and waited for his next gossip.
Huang Jie, a member of the old swimming team, was doing warm-up exercises while standing in the swimming pool, "Is he back?"
"Brother Ajie, do you know him?" the newcomer asked.
"I know, before he entered the national team, he was a swimmer in the same period as me." Huang Jie shook his arms, jumped up and down a few times, and was about to enter the water.
"So he also trained here before?" The newcomer's eyes lit up instantly.
"Yeah, Coach Yin brought it out by hand."
"You two have always been 'he, he, he,', so who is 'he'?" The other young players couldn't wait. After more than a month of closed training, not everyone has the opportunity to watch the live broadcast of the Olympic Games of.
"The god-level gold medalist in swimming at the Rio Olympics..."
"Yin Chen?" Someone in the crowd replied.
The 16-year-old swimming rookie wanted to pretend to be a secret, but he was guessed right away.
"You can't wait for me to finish, really."
The person who just answered didn't take it seriously, and continued to ask the newcomer: "So you saw Yin Chen?"
"Who is Yin Chen?" Someone didn't know why.
"Since you don't even know Yin Chen, why don't you go online and make up for it? Just enter yin, and his information will pop up, okay?!"
"Yeah, although I don't have time to watch the live broadcast of the Olympics, as soon as I turn on my phone these days, there are all push messages about him, national hero!"
"But shouldn't he be in Rio now?"
"Yeah, although the swimming event is over, the closing ceremony hasn't started yet!"
"I'll go, God, is he really outside the venue?"
"Yes, it can't be wrong." The newcomer was sure, after all, he would not admit to being such a handsome and photogenic senior.
"Then what are you waiting for, let's go out and meet Senior Yin Chen!"
"Yeah, let's go!"
Huang Jie, who was at the side, discouraged a group of newcomers in a hurry, "Don't worry, he will definitely come in."
Just when everyone was huddling together and preparing to go out, Yin Chen walked towards them as if he had a radiant light.
A group of rookie contestants who were chattering and chattering just now fell silent for a moment, watching Yin Chen walking towards them in a daze.
Yin Chen: "Ajie, where's my dad?"
Huang Jie: "A batch of new team uniforms were just delivered this morning. They should be in the locker room. Go and have a look."
Yin Chen: "Okay, thank you."
After Yin Chen finished speaking, he seemed to have never been here before, and left on his own, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded people.
Thanks? !Did he just say thank you to me?I have known Yin Chen for so long, when did I hear him say these two words? !Huang Jie looked astonished.
"Senior Ajie, what did Senior Yin Chen say just now? 'My dad'?"
"Could it be..."
"So, Yin Chen?! Coach Yin?!"
"Fuck!... So they are father and son!!!"
"Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs!"
……
In the locker room of the swimming pool, Yin Zhenguo was counting the rookie uniforms that had just been delivered.
"Dad, I'm back." Yin Chen stood at the door and said to the back in the locker room.
Yin Zhenguo didn't look back, and was still doing what he was doing, but the hand holding the pen obviously paused, "Have you been home?"
"Well, I got off the plane early this morning."
"Have you had breakfast yet?"
"I've eaten it. Mom made it herself."
"Just eat it..." Yin Zhenguo hesitated to speak.
Yin Chen walked to the locker that belonged to him, and the word "Yin Chen" on the original name plate had been removed and replaced with the words "Don't move".
He stretched out his hand and opened it slowly, "I didn't expect my locker to be kept so well after I haven't been to the city swimming pool for so long, and all the things in it are still there."
Although Yin Zhenguo didn't answer, Yin Chen certainly knew who kept his locker for him all the time, "Dad, Mom bought a bunch of your favorite dishes, let's go home for dinner tonight."
After Yin Zhenguo heard this sentence, he was obviously stunned. Since the last time he quarreled with Su Caiyun, he has been living in the city swimming pool. He is very clear.
These days he has been blaming himself, what qualifications does he have to blame Su Caiyun, what happened back then has been going on for so long, and he is the one who has been brooding over it and refuses to let it go.
Although he also thought about pretending that nothing happened and going back directly, he still couldn't get rid of his old face, not to mention...
Yin Zhenguo glanced at Yin Chen. Since this is the case, it is time to tell Yin Chen the truth. After thinking for a while, he said lightly, "Chenchen, actually I..."
"Dad, you don't need to say anything, I know everything... Whether it's the fact that you were framed for doping 20 years ago, or the fact that I have no blood relationship with you, I know everything."
Yin Chen interrupted Yin Zhenguo and finished the sentence for him.
"...Your mother told you everything?" Yin Zhenguo's voice was a little lonely. After all, the relationship between father and son for more than ten years can't be let go just by letting go.
"En." Yin Chen responded, and opened the door of the locker. On the door of the iron cabinet, there was a photo of Yin Chen when he won the gold medal for the first time. It was Su Caiyun's strong request to take a photo. Yin Zhenguo put one hand on Yin Chen's shoulder, and smiled happily. Although Yin Chen was still expressionless, he knew that he was also very happy at that time, and he was a little proud.
Yin Chen looked at the photo and said slowly, "Dad, in fact, the year I first saw you, I drowned in the sea in front of my grandma's house and almost died. I didn't tell because luckily someone rescued me and I survived, but after this drowning, I became very afraid of water."
The pen in Yin Zhenguo's hand was tightly held by him, leaving a series of black marks on the white paper: So every time I let him into the water, he always looked terrified, I thought he was purely rebellious, did not expect……
Yin Chen, who had his back turned to Yin Zhenguo, guessed that Yin Zhenguo must be blaming himself at this moment, he turned his head, "Dad, you don't have to blame yourself, that drowning was actually a good thing for me."
"A good thing?" It's almost dead, and there's nothing good about casting a shadow on the water. This kid is obviously trying to comfort me... Thinking about it this way, Yin Zhenguo blamed himself even more.
Of course, Yin Chen didn't know what Yin Zhenguo was thinking, and continued, "Later, you showed up with my mother and took me back to Hangzhou. Before I could react from the joy of seeing my father, you kept forcing me to Swimming, to be honest, I hated you at the time."
Hearing this, Yin Zhenguo's heart "thumped", and it was so painful that he smiled wryly: So he cared so much about Yin Chen's opinion of him.
Yin Chen's tone was calm and his voice was low. Under normal circumstances, people could hear that he didn't complain at all, but Yin Zhenguo was so nervous that he didn't hear it.
"Later, under your careful teaching, I found that I didn't hate the feeling of being in the water, and even liked it a little bit. I slowly began to accept swimming as a part of my life.
Later, at the World Swimming Championships held in Shanghai, that is, when I was 15 years old, because I was a junior player, I achieved good results that time, which naturally attracted some media attention. Some of the media mentioned When I heard about your past, my mother was by my side at the time, she was very angry and took me away from the interview area, and told me what happened back then.
After I heard that you were framed, I was very angry. At that time, I secretly set a goal for myself to win a grand slam in the future Olympic Games to break these false reports. "
"You... have never doubted me?" Yin Zhenguo asked with difficulty the son in front of him who was a little strange to him.
"Not only me, but Mom has always believed in you, hasn't she?"
"..." Yin Zhenguo didn't expect to be asked back by Yin Chen, his chest felt very uncomfortable for a moment, and the corners of his eyes began to get a little moist.
"Dad, I only have one dad, and it can only be you."
"..." Hearing these words, Yin Zhenguo couldn't bear it any longer, and the tears in the corners of his eyes immediately slid down. He quickly turned his back, pretended to tidy up his things, and quickly wiped away his tears.
Yin Chen saw Yin Zhenguo's reaction in his eyes, "Dad, this is one of the things I want to talk to you about today."
Yin Zhenguo really straightened out the clothes replaced by the players, "You say one of them, what else is there?"
"Also, I hope Dad, you can record a video with me."
