Xiao Qi's competition ended, and her aunt hurried over to hand her water.
Coach Wu Peirong came over to praise Xiao Qi a sentence: "The performance was not bad."
Because it was the preliminary round, it was not like those major competitions, the results were not announced immediately, but it was self-evident that Xiao Qi was the winner of this group.
Without staying for long, she returned to the Three Flowers Team's position. At this time, many team members were not there, they had gone to prepare for the competition.
Xiao Qi saw that her score appeared on the big screen in front of her.
1 minute 59 seconds 56, Xiao Qi didn't know how this result was, but looking at more than 2 minutes next to her, it should be fine.
"Do you want to eat oil cakes? I brought oil cakes?" Su Simei had just watched the swimming, her heart was tugged, feeling the splash of swimming, it was like she jumped into the water, she knew Xiao Qi and herself started learning at the same time, she didn't expect her to swim so well.
She always heard the coach say that Xiao Qi comes to practice every day, she still thought it was the same as her, she didn't expect it to be completely different.
"Not hungry, I'll just drink some water." Xiao Qi took the water from her aunt and wrapped the bath towel around herself.
It wasn’t cold today, but there were still wet water droplets on the body after getting out of the water which was uncomfortable.
After drinking a sip of water, she still went to the corner to stretch, although she was a little excited, but today was only the preliminary round, the formal competition would be in ten days, so she shouldn't waste time, and the last game was different from usual swimming practice. She felt like soaking in the water during normal practice, she was a fish, she could be a grass carp, carp, fat head carp or something, anyway, she was a fish that was quite comfortable in the water.
But when she dived down from the platform and heard the electric humming sound during the last match, she suddenly felt that she was not a shark but maybe a swordfish or something, rushing forward with a clip-clop sound. Anyway, her fish species had changed, and she swam harder than swimming ten laps normally.
So she didn't know if her spirit was tense or relaxed now, but her muscles were very tense, and the necessary stretching had to be done.
Her aunt still wanted to watch the game, so Xiao Qi stretched aside.
The girls from the swimming team came back one after another, and saw Su Xiaoqi stretching to the side, looking a little embarrassed.
Because there was no one with better results than Su Xiaoqi, they didn't know how the later players would perform.
The preliminary round would take a long time, and half of the people would be eliminated in this preliminary round. Xiao Qi couldn’t practice in the water again, and it was uncomfortable to wear a swimsuit, so she said hello to her aunt that she would go take a shower and change her clothes.
Luckily she had brought her English textbook with her to review English while waiting.
Since the improvement of her learning efficiency, her enthusiasm for learning has been greatly stimulated. She felt she would soon finish chewing through New Concept English Book 4.
After that, Xiao Qi sat in the stands with her aunt. Her aunt took pictures and watched the games while she studied English. It was very noisy outside, so she could read out loud without affecting others. Unexpectedly, she learned very well in such a noisy environment, probably due to the efficiency buff. She studied very carefully and was not affected at all.
She didn't hear the discussions of others at all.
Su Simei heard a few sentences, but she has always been rough, and didn't care, still watching the game excitedly.
Until the end of the game, when the final results were announced, it was already twelve o'clock.
No certificates or anything were issued, and Xiao Qi unexpectedly won the sixth place in individual rankings.
The first place was still the previous champion, Li Enya, with 1 minute 58 seconds 18. It was said that this was not her best result, that is, she did not fully exert herself.
Their Three Flowers Team's overall performance was average, it seemed that they ranked 8th without anyone in the top six, in short, the performance was not good.
The Three Flowers Team belonged to the home side. This result was really unpresentable. Fortunately, there was an individual sixth place and an individual fifth place.
The fifth place was Zeng Tingting who greeted Xiao Qi at the beginning.
Finally Coach Wu was free when the game was over. She came over to encourage Xiao Qi, who was very happy. Although Xiao Qi ranked sixth, and didn't seem to be a particularly awesome genius in the eyes of others, she had taught Xiao Qi since the first time she went into the water. Xiao Qi had only learned to swim for a few days and already had the sixth place result. Wu Peirong looked at others and felt secretly smug in her heart. If they knew that her student had only learned to swim for less than a month, they would probably be shocked.
However, because she had added people to the team to compete before, there were a lot of voices in the team, so she didn't want to talk about it. She would wait until the real competition to shock them.
Xiao Qi was quite pleasantly surprised by the sixth place. Because she had never competed before, she didn't know what her level was. But she had tried her best today and performed better than yesterday.
Participating in the competition felt different. Experiencing it in advance was quite good. She thought she should be able to improve a little more by the time of the real competition.
Just maintain this state.
The two returned to the dormitory of the hospital together. Her aunt still had to work in the afternoon. Xiao Qi cooked and after eating, they each went about their business. Xiao Qi had two things to do: first, she wanted to find out about buying a house; second, she wanted to consult about learning Japanese.
When learning a new language, she went to Ximalaya to listen to Japanese programs again, but she was completely clueless and felt that she should go to a training class to learn the basics first.
For learning Japanese, she wanted to ask her neighbor Brother Lin Min. She remembered he said before that he ran training classes, so he might know more about related matters. She planned to go out herself to ask several real estate agencies about buying a house.
She sent a message to Brother Lin Min on WeChat, and the other party replied very quickly.
"Wait a moment, let me ask around for you, I don't have direct contact with this either."
An Fangling was drinking coffee in her office. She liked to grind coffee beans and then drip them on ice.
On summer days, a cup of iced drip coffee, with some bitterness and fragrant aroma, kept one awake yet intoxicated.
She made a cup for herself, and poured a cup for the young man in front of her as well.
It would be more accurate to call the young man in front of her a boy rather than a man. There was still fine fluff on his face, but he was very mature with behavior and manners that did not reveal his age of only eighteen, only occasional panic that betrayed a little bit.
Seeing him reply to a message so quickly, An Fangling casually asked, "Girlfriend?"
"No, I don't have a girlfriend. It's a little friend from my neighbor's house who wants to learn Japanese and is asking me where it's suitable to sign up for classes." Lin Min replied casually as well.
An Fangling smiled without continuing on that topic.
Lin Min asked several classmates on his phone.
Not knowing much, he searched online for about twenty minutes to get this matter done, and sent the results to Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi saw the detailed introduction of three of the more formal Japanese training schools in Lvshan City sent by Brother Lin Min. However, Brother Lin Min said his classmate learned at Yamada Training School with average results.
Xiao Qi thanked him.
Although Brother Lin Min explained it very clearly, she was still confused and had difficulty deciding.
Just then her student Liang Jiajia sent her a message to ask what she was doing. She talked about wanting to learn Japanese.
Liang Jiajia immediately replied: "Teacher, Jing Zhi is also learning Japanese. She said her Japanese teacher is very good. You can learn together with her."
