Chapter 328 The Fake Gold in the True and False Gold Inscriptions 10
When Liu Yuxi stopped participating in competitions, it was already the end of May, not because she was tired, but because she had to take the college entrance examination.
Liu Yuxi has now gained some fame in the track and field circle because her performance is so consistent. From her very first competition, she has won the championship every time, and she has also gained some fans.
Every time she won a championship, a banner would be put up at the school gate, so in less than half a year, Liu Yuxi had become a minor celebrity in Suzhou.
After picking up her admission ticket from school, she returned to Liu's house. She had taken the college entrance examination many times before and didn't feel nervous at all. However, she still needed to go through the textbooks again in the next couple of days.
Seeing the nervous look on Liu's parents' faces, Liu Yuxi gave them a good talking-to.
Liu's parents knew that Liu Yuxi's academic performance was good, but they were still worried. Now that their child was famous, if he did well on the exam, that would be fine, but if he did poorly, there would definitely be negative comments.
Liu Yuxi's exam venue happened to be the No. 2 Middle School across from their neighborhood, which was incredibly convenient for Liu's parents. Not only could they eat every meal at home, but they could also rest for an hour at noon.
That day, ignoring Liu Yuxi's refusal, Liu's mother, dressed in a red cheongsam, escorted Liu's father to the examination hall. We're saying it's just a matter of crossing the street, right? Is it really that big of a deal?
Aunt Liu said, "A sense of ritual is a must. Everyone else has it, so why can't you? Don't worry, your dad and I will be waiting for you at the store later."
"Okay, after I go in, you and Dad can go back to the shop. I'll come find you there when I'm done, there are too many people outside."
"it is good!"
Two days passed in a flash. Liu Yuxi felt that she did okay on the exam, at a normal level, and estimated that she would score around 650 points.
The current procedure is to estimate scores first and then fill out college applications. She hasn't joined the national team yet and still trains with the track and field team. Suzhou University is also a 985 university, so Liu Yuxi applied directly to the Department of Literature at Suzhou University.
After filling out her application, she went back to the team. She was about to participate in this year's National Track and Field Championships, which required intensive training. Then came the Asian Games and the Winter Games. In any case, she wouldn't have any free time in the second half of the year.
This year's championship was held in the neighboring city of Zhejiang, lasting only three or four days. Now, every time she participates in a competition, the team gives her a lot of internal tickets.
"Mom and Dad, why don't you two come with me to Zhejiang City in a few days? Come watch my game! I have tickets!" The atmosphere of a live sporting event is something you can't experience just by watching it on TV. It would be fine if it were abroad, but it's right next door. It would be such a shame not to see it live!
"When?"
"From the 28th to the 30th!"
"Okay, your dad and I will arrange it. How many tickets do you have?"
"Ten!"
"Then I'll ask the others," said Aunt Liu as she sent a message in the family group chat.
Grandparents on both sides are too old to visit, finding it too noisy. They encourage her in the group chat. The younger siblings on summer vacation are the most enthusiastic. As for the older siblings? They are mostly working people. When do working people have free time?
Later, it was decided that Liu's parents, uncle, aunt, and aunt would take the five children to Zhejiang City. Liu Yuxi's older brother's company was developing a game, which had reached a crucial stage, and the entire company was working overtime, so it would have to wait until next time.
Liu Yuxi left with her teammates two days in advance. Her parents planned to go on the afternoon of the 27th. Of course, the hotel had been booked online in advance. With her inside information, these arrangements were very convenient.
Her events will still be the 100m and 200m. She has already decided that she will break the world records in these two events and win the Olympic gold medal before switching to other tracks.
Currently, she feels no pressure from major domestic competitions. She can only compete against herself and against world records. Human potential is brought out by being forced. A comfortable environment is harmful to athletes!
As Liu Yuxi entered the venue, she could already hear people in the audience calling her name. These were her fans, and she expected that her fan base would continue to grow.
There is a big difference between fans of athletes and fans of celebrities. Fans of athletes only care about their athletes' performance in the competition. Everything else is taken care of by the government and they don't need to worry about it. The only thing they can spend money on for athletes is buying tickets to watch the games live.
This kind of relationship is purer, which Liu Yuxi thinks is great. She even thinks that if she ever travels to the modern world again and doesn't know what to do, she should become an athlete. She can bring glory to the country, and if she's good-looking, she can seamlessly transition into the entertainment industry after retiring. She'll have both honor and wealth—perfect!
This year's National Track and Field Championships only had 24 events. Her 100-meter and 200-meter races were always among the first events. After entering the stadium and changing her clothes, she would do warm-up exercises on the sidelines. The 100-meter preliminary round was just around the corner.
She led all the way to the finish line in 10.55 seconds. Perhaps she had taken a long break during the college entrance examination application period. Anyway, Liu Yuxi was not very satisfied with this result and will have to train more. Hopefully, she can break a record at the Asian Games at the end of September.
As expected, Liu Yuxi remained the champion in both events. Her best time in the 100 meters was 10.52 seconds, achieved in the semifinals, while her best time in the 200 meters was 21.46 seconds, achieved in the finals.
Almost there, almost there! Just a little more effort and victory is in sight!
After the competition, Liu Yuxi advised his parents to enjoy a few days in Zhejiang City. They had been running a small business since they were young, and anyone who has run a small business knows that no matter how good or bad the business is, you can't close your shop. If you close it every few days, your business will go out of business.
Having a store to keep me tied down means I can't go anywhere else. Sometimes during the Lunar New Year, I can only go back to see my elderly parents at different times. By the time I hire someone for the store, my two children have reached a critical age. This is the tragedy of middle age!
The younger children's eyes lit up when they heard Liu Yuxi's suggestion. Children who aren't yet adults rarely have the opportunity to travel to other places unless accompanied by their parents. Unable to persuade the younger children, Liu's parents finally agreed.
As for our Comrade Xiao Liu, she also wanted to play with everyone, but reality didn't allow it. Her schedule had to follow the main group, so she could only reluctantly return to Suzhou with the team.
Liu's parents spent a week in Zhejiang before going back. That's how it is when you travel; the longer you travel, the less you want to go back. If it weren't for the kids constantly showing off in the family group chat, which prompted their parents to call and urge them to come back, they probably could have stayed a few more days.
