When they arrived at the swimming pool, the scene was not as crowded as Yang Yi had imagined. However, this wasn't something surprising. After all, this was just a swimming competition held by the city. Even if it was labeled as a national competition, only some young parents were willing to sign their children up for this kind of small competition. The onlookers were also their family members. No outsider would be so free as to come and watch a group of children compete in a competition.
However, the children participating in the competition, as well as the parents and grandparents who had accompanied them here, were all chatting noisily in the not-so-large swimming pool, especially in the waiting area and the audience seats. It still gave off a lively feeling!
Xi Xi was a little nervous when she saw so many people. She followed closely beside her father and let her father hold her little hand. Then, she carefully looked around, just like Tong Tong, who was sitting in her father's arms, looking around curiously.
Interestingly, because they had refused any preferential treatment, they also had to line up to sign in like the other parents and children. The person in charge of signing in was a female staff member and a few student volunteers from the sports institute. They did not realize that the fat uncle standing in front of them was the sponsor of this event. They still said formally, "The contestants sign here. They also have to write down the name and contact information of their family members."
Lanzhou Kai quickly waved his hand and gave his position to Yang Yi.
Yang Yi hugged Tong Tong, smiled at Xi Xi, and asked, "They need your signature. Why don't you sign it? Do you still remember how to write my name and phone number? "
Yang Yi had asked Xi Xi to memorize these as early as when she was four years old. Of course, for a little girl with a super good memory, this was not a difficult request.
Xixi was eager to give it a try, but she was too embarrassed to shout in front of outsiders, so she softly and softly replied, "Hee hee, I'll remember!"
Xi Xi was very happy to be able to show off in front of her father. This could be seen from the happy smile on her little face when she wrote down her name!
"Wow, you're pretty good. You can even write your own name. It's so complicated." The female staff member in charge of signing in had a good personality. After watching for a while, she smiled and praised Xi Xi, who was writing her name, and asked, "Which grade are you in?"
Xixi's face blushed as she listened. She quickly finished writing her father's phone number. Then, she took her father's hand and shyly hid behind his arm, revealing half of her face. She bit her lower lip and smiled with some pride and embarrassment. "Hehe, I'm in the first grade."
"No, we've already finished the first grade. We'll be in the second grade from now on!" When Lan Xin heard this, she felt that Xi Xi's answer was not correct. How could she study in the first grade again? She shouted anxiously.
"Oh, right!" Xi Xi suddenly realized that she had said something wrong. The little girl felt even more embarrassed. She took her father's hand and shook her little butt unconsciously because of her anxiousness and self-blame. She explained in a low voice, "Then I'm in the second grade, and Xin Er is also in the second grade."
"That's already very good! Your handwriting is very good! " The female staff member was still praising her. She did not intend to continue nagging. She handed some identification cards, a simple bath bag, and a schematic diagram of the venue to Yang Yi and Lanzhou Kai, and briefly introduced the process of the competition. Then she pointed to the locker room and said, "The children can go and change first. Only one parent is allowed to accompany the child in the stadium. The other parents and children will have to work hard and watch the competition in the stands!"
There were still children who needed to sign in, so Yang Yi and the others nodded and walked in the direction of the locker room.
There were fewer people in the passage to the locker room, and there were fewer peeking eyes. After all, Murphy was so beautiful. Even though she was wearing sunglasses and a hat, her beautiful face, tall, and graceful figure was still somewhat conspicuous among the many parents. Xi Xi was the same. The little girl was already very beautiful. With her long hair behind her back, she gave people the feeling that she was a cultured little lady from a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Naturally, she was more eye-catching.
Now that there were fewer people around, Xi Xi also became lively. She took her father's hand and wanted to run to the front. "Hurry up, hurry up, let's go change and swim!"
"It won't be so soon. Xi Xi, you've been placed in the thirty-first group, and Xin Er has been placed in the thirty-third group. You still have to wait for more than thirty groups before it's your turn to compete!" Wu Jingjing took out her phone and looked at it, then said with a smile.
Xi Xi turned her head and looked at Xin Er's mother with some confusion. She asked doubtfully, "Do we have to wait for a long time?"
"Yes, think about it. You have to count from one to thirty-one. Won't it take a long time?" Wu Jingjing said with a smile.
"It won't take that long. The competition here is divided into several venues. You see, there are a total of four swimming pools. You can take turns to compete, so it won't take too long." Lanzhou Kai said as he waved the schematic diagram of the venues he had just received.
"There's such a thing?" Wu Jingjing leaned over to take a look in surprise.
Xi Xi looked at the two adults in confusion, then turned her head to look at her father.
"It's okay. You can change into your swimsuit with your mother first. Isn't there a pool for warming up? Let's swim in the pool first and get the feeling. No matter when the competition is, we won't be afraid! "Yang Yi said as he rubbed the little girl's head with a smile.
Murphy took Xi Xi, Wu Jingjing and Lan Xin to change their swimsuits, but the ones who accompanied the two children to the competition venue were indeed Yang Yi and Lanzhou Kai. Murphy and Wu Jingjing stayed in the stands with Tong Tong.
Leaving Tong Tong and her mother aside, Lanzhou Kai and Lan Xin walked in front. Yang Yi carried a handbag with Xi Xi's clothes, water bottle, and other things in his right hand, and held Xi Xi's hand with his left hand. They followed them to the pool for warming up.
Xi Xi changed into a one-piece swimsuit that looked like a skirt. The part that was close to her legs was a layer of pleated skirt. It wasn't competitive, but it was very protective. Xi Xi wore it just like a skirt.
Of course, Xi Xi also liked this style. She felt that this swimsuit looked especially good in her eyes. Compared to other swimsuits with single colors or simple prints, this swimsuit had layers of blue, white, and red colors that were irregularly arranged. It gave people a fresh and bright feeling. Naturally, it also had a bit of a fashionable taste!
However, no matter how much it looked like a skirt, it was still a swimsuit. The hem was very short, and the advantage of the little girl's long legs could no longer be hidden. With her slender and long calves exposed, it gave people a feeling that she was taller!
Fortunately, when they came out of the changing room, the two mothers wrapped a layer of bath towels around Xi Xi and Lan Xin. It just covered their shoulders and thighs. On one hand, it was to prevent the two girls from being exposed. On the other hand, they were also worried that they would catch a cold. After all, the indoor swimming pool was not as hot as outside. On the contrary, after blocking the sun, there was a cool feeling inside.
At this time, the little girl grabbed the bath towel around her collar and carefully stepped on her slippers to follow her father's footsteps.
Girls at this age were not as reckless as boys. They still knew how to be shy. It was the first time that they appeared in such a big event in a swimsuit. Xi Xi also felt that there would be a lot of people looking at her. The little girl's face turned red. She lowered her head and hid behind her father.
