Although Yang Yi looked anxious, in fact, after the competition started, Xi Xi and the other children only made some splashes in the water. Then, like little turtles, they slowly wriggled forward … Don't listen to the saying, "After the starting gun sounds, the athletes shoot out like arrows." That was only used to describe track and field competitions!
The scene in the pool brought people back to reality. After all, it was only a competition for seven-year-old girls, and they were basically amateurs. Even if they made big movements in the water and made splashes, they couldn't be fast. From the shore, they swam slowly. Yang Yi stared at Xi Xi's position and walked steadily, keeping up with their speed.
But the stands and the shore were much livelier!
"Go Ran Ran!"
"Go Guoguo!"
"… Go Guoguo!"
Especially beside Yang Yi, the parents who accompanied him cheered one after another. Looking at their flushed faces, Yang Yi, who was always calm, seemed to be infected at this moment. He nervously watched Xi Xi's order in the pool and excitedly raised his hands to his mouth to hold up the loudspeaker. He loudly commanded, "Steady, maintain the rhythm of your breathing. Beat your legs a little faster!"
Yang Yi was so engrossed that he forgot that he was shouting so far away and that Xi Xi couldn't hear him at all in the water.
Like the other parents, he couldn't wait to transmit all his strength to their children through shouting. Even if they knew in their hearts that it was futile, so what? At this moment, how could Yang Yi think so much?
He could just shout!
In the pool, the one swimming in the first place was a little girl from the sixth lane. She started faster than Xi Xi by more than half a body's length. When she swam in the water, her swimming posture was very standard. She swung her arms left and right, breathed, and beat her legs at a very fast rhythm. One look and one could tell that she had been trained for a long time!
Because Xi Xi started slower, she was currently in third place. However, the little girl didn't seem to notice this situation. She swam leisurely as if she was swimming in her own pool.
However, it had to be said that among the five children, Xi Xi's swimming posture was the best!
It couldn't be helped. Who asked the little girl to have long legs and long arms?
It was also freestyle, but Xi Xi's long arms rotated and moved like a butterfly flapping its wings. The arc was beautiful and full of movement!
Xi Xi's long legs slapped the water. The splashes weren't big, but the rhythm was light and gentle, causing her colorful skirt to flutter, giving off a fresh and cute feeling of a little mermaid playing in the water!
The little girl's swimming rhythm was neither fast nor slow. Her movements were relatively quiet, but her speed wasn't slow at all. Perhaps it was because she had more strength every time she swung her arms, or perhaps it was because her long legs provided more thrust. The little girl's slender body was like a shuttle, silently shuttling forward. Gradually, she caught up from third place to second place, and was about half a body's length away from first place!
At this moment, they were only about halfway through the swim. However, the previous sprint had consumed a lot of energy. Many of the children started to slow down!
After all, they were only seven or eight years old girls. In terms of physical strength, they definitely couldn't compare to adults or professional athletes!
Even the little girl from the sixth lane, who was swimming in first place, slowed down a little. Although she had undergone professional training, it was inevitable that she would slow down a little. This gave Xi Xi a chance to catch up!
Although Xi Xi was usually soft and weak, her strength and stamina were the best among the children her age! Of course, this was partly due to innate factors, but it was also due to acquired efforts. Since she was four years old, under the guidance of her father, she would exercise for a period of time almost every morning before breakfast. Recently, she had even resumed light martial arts practice!
Naturally, her physical strength was now showing!
Xi Xi was still swimming at the same pace as before. She didn't seem to have any intention of slowing down! Slowly, at about thirty meters, Xi Xi began to catch up with the little girl from the sixth lane!
"Tiantian! Swim faster! Someone is catching up to you! "At the edge of the pool, the little girl's mother was so anxious that she stomped her feet and yelled.
But at this time, the parents' yelling was in vain. The last ten meters or so were the last moments for these little girls to fight with their last bit of willpower!
Yang Yi was also very anxious. Now that he heard others yelling, although he didn't want to continue yelling like he was showing off, he was also holding his breath nervously. He was sweating for his daughter in his heart.
"She passed!" Yang Yi suddenly raised his eyebrows and a hint of joy appeared in the corner of his eyes. He couldn't help but glance proudly at the little girl's mother. Then, he quickly reflected on himself. "I can't be happy yet. It's too early to be happy."
It was as if he was the one competing!
But that was indeed the case!
Yang Yi once again felt that it was actually the parents who were suffering when their children were competing or taking exams!
At about the last ten meters, the little mermaid from the fourth lane finally began to slow down. She seemed to be a little tired!
After all, Xi Xi was also a normal person!
Although the extent of Xi Xi's slowing down was not that much compared to the other children, she still maintained a faster speed and a certain lead. But when he saw Xi Xi slowing down, Yang Yi couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Come on! Come on! " Yang Yi didn't dare to walk too fast. He maintained a horizontal line with his daughter. He didn't care about other people's eyes. He clapped his hands and shouted rhythmically.
Come on!
Hang in there a little longer. You'll reach the finish line soon!
Yang Yi watched anxiously as his daughter swam in front. She still had a lead of a body length and was about to reach the finish line of 50 meters. It looked like she was going to win!
Yang Yi's emotions were in turmoil. One moment, he wanted to secretly get excited. The next moment, he was worried that his secret excitement would be discovered by God and that God would throw a plot twist. He could only suppress this impulse. He pursed his lips, gritted his teeth, and followed closely behind.
Even when Xi Xi was about to touch the edge of the pool with a lead of more than a body length, Yang Yi was still worried. He was afraid that the little girl would hit her head. He kept a close eye on her and quickly went around to the finish line.
Fortunately, Xi Xi was wearing swimming goggles and could see the edge of the pool. Just as she usually did in training, her little hand touched the edge of the pool and then slowly slid over. She grabbed the edge of the pool and stood up to catch her breath.
Yang Yi finally felt relieved. He didn't have to continue being nervous. His originally tense and fierce face was now blooming with a warm smile.
She won!
Xi Xi had just poked her head out of the water. The water flowed down from the swimming cap and washed the little girl's smooth little face. She opened her mouth to breathe and wiped the water on her face with her little hand. She looked around as if she was looking for something.
"Here, Daddy is here!" Yang Yi's voice was no longer calm. There was only joy in it. He rushed in front of his daughter and called out with a smile.
"Papa!" The little girl was panting slightly. She took off her uncomfortable swimming goggles, revealing a pair of big eyes that were still bright and lovely even though there were some red marks around them. Her slightly curled eyelashes fluttered as she looked at her father with some dependence. Her voice was muffled and sticky as she called out to him.
