"sign?"

Li Ming was slightly stunned when he saw the pen Liu Yue handed over and the expectant look in his eyes.

This was the first time someone asked him for an autograph.

Then, Li Ming showed a gentle smile, took the pen and signed his name on the notebook handed over by Liu Yue.

Liu Yue looked at Li Ming's handsome signature, her face instantly turned red, and she almost jumped up with excitement.

Zhao Lin watched from the side with a hint of envy in her eyes.

Seeing this, Li Ming also signed for Zhao Lin.

The two girls were shy and excited holding the booklet signed by Li Ming.

"Thank you, Ming-ge!"

Liu Yue thanked him happily. Although Li Ming was younger than her, Ming Li called Li Ming that, so she followed suit.

At this time, Zhang Yu and Wang Hao looked at each other, plucked up the courage to step forward.

Zhang Yu rubbed his hands nervously and said, "Brother Ming, we were blind to the truth before. We are sorry for offending you. Please don't take it personally."

Wang Hao also nodded quickly and agreed, "Yes, Brother Ming, we know we were wrong. We really didn't mean to offend you."

The two were extremely nervous, fearing that Li Ming would hold a grudge against them.

Li Ming just nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Forget about the past, and train well in the future."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu and Wang Hao felt relieved, looked at each other, and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Brother Ming."

At the same time, he also developed some favorable feelings towards Li Ming, at least not as hostile as before.

They were even a little surprised that Li Ming, with his status, was willing to take the bus with them to the competition.

Now, when I look at Li Ming again, I feel not only awe but also a bit of intimacy. I always feel that Li Ming is very amiable.

"Um, Brother Ming. I want an autograph too." At this time, Ming Li also licked his face, scratched his head and asked.

"Row."

Li Ming readily agreed, took the pen from Liu Yue, and quickly wrote his name on Ming Li's clothes.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu and Wang Hao, who already wanted to please Li Ming, hurriedly asked Li Ming for his autograph.

Not long after, coach Lin Jin came over and was relieved to see Li Ming being treated like a star and chatting and laughing with Zhang Yu and others.

He actually always knew Li Ming's identity, but he remained calm on the surface.

Li Ming saw Lin Jin and greeted him with a smile: "Good morning, coach!"

When Lin Jin heard Li Ming calling him coach, he was a little hesitant to agree, after all, Li Ming's status and position were there.

But he quickly adjusted his attitude and responded: "Is everyone here? Get ready to get in the car and go."

Everyone nodded and followed Lin Jin towards the bus.

The scenery along the way is picturesque.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and onto the ground, forming spots of light.

Inside the car, everyone was a little excited and nervous. After all, this was an important competition that determined whether they could continue to participate in the next two rounds of trials.

However, they are the best players in the country and have won national championships in individual events in the past, so they are full of confidence.

Zhang Yu, Wang Hao, Liu Yue and Zhao Lin looked at Li Ming from time to time with some anticipation.

Li Ming's overall performance is better than all of them, and now the overall strength of their team is definitely among the best.

Li Ming, on the other hand, looked calm, with his eyes closed.

He didn't have to worry about anything during the swimming trials.

After all, the last time he took the physical test in the gym, he only performed at one-third of his level.

After half an hour.

After the group arrived at the competition venue - Jiangcheng International Swimming Pool.

Teams from other regions also arrived one after another, wearing different uniforms and looking full of confidence.

“There are 16 teams in this competition, all of which are top players from all over the province.

If you want to represent our province in the provincial competition, you must advance to the top three in this round."

Next to him, Lin Jin specifically explained something to Li Ming.

"How many rounds of selections are there in total?" Li Ming asked curiously.

“Generally speaking, there are three rounds within the province and nine rounds nationwide, for a total of 3 rounds.

There is at least one trial competition every month, and everyone is actively preparing for the remaining time.

After all, there is only one year and five months left before the Olympics."

Lin Jin explained patiently and brought everyone to the competition venue.

As soon as Li Ming entered, he saw a spacious and modern swimming pool. The water in the pool was so clear that he could see the bottom, and the surrounding auditoriums were full.

"Let's go to the locker room and change into professional swimming clothes."

Led by Lin Jin, everyone came to their locker room.

As soon as he entered, Lin Jin frowned: "There is only one big dressing room and one small one?"

Lin Jin glanced at the schedule and immediately said, "The first group of individual events includes Li Ming, Liu Yue, and Zhao Lin.

The three of you go change first, and then go to the preparation area to get your number plates."

As time was running out, Li Ming and the other two immediately went to the locker room to change into their swimsuits and swimming trunks.

Li Ming, Liu Yue and Zhao Lin were arranged in the same large locker room, which had a separate small room very close to them.

As soon as I entered the locker room, a faint fragrance hit me.

Liu Yue and Zhao Lin's cheeks instantly turned red, and they looked particularly shy. "I'll go to the small room to change."

Li Ming was also a little embarrassed, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.

He couldn't possibly stay out there and change with one of them.

After a while.

The two girls changed into their swimming costumes and Li Ming came out after they called out to them.

This was the first time he saw the two women in swimming suits.

Last time, everyone was wearing loose team uniforms and nothing could be seen.

Liu Yue is tall and has a curvy figure.

Her long legs were straight and shapely.

She was wearing a black swimsuit that perfectly outlined her plump breasts and perky buttocks.

The smooth skin exudes a charming luster under the light.

Zhao Lin has a different style of beauty.

She is petite but has an impressive body proportion.

Her swimsuit was blue, bringing out her fair skin and lovely face.

Although her breasts are not as plump as Liu Yue's, they perfectly show her youthful vitality.

Her slightly raised buttocks add a bit of playfulness and sexiness.

After the two girls changed into their swimsuits, although their eyes were a little evasive, they still involuntarily fell on Li Ming.

Li Ming is tall and straight, with clear muscle lines. His broad shoulders, strong chest and tight abdomen all exude masculine charm.

When the two women saw Li Ming's figure, their eyes widened in shock.

This muscle mass and muscle proportion are simply perfect and very natural.

Li Ming also felt the gazes of the two women, he just smiled.

This look was exactly the same as the one the other girls in the manor had when they saw her figure.

Before long, everyone changed into their swimsuits and swimming trunks and walked out of the locker room.

The two girls were feeling expectant and excited. Zhang Yu and the other three were quite famous in the swimming world.

They are the favorite team to win this qualifying tournament!

Many teams knew them, and those passing by greeted them.

However, when looking at Li Ming, he felt a little confused and strange.

Mistaking him for a newcomer.

"Hey, Liu Yue and Zhao Lin, this is the new member of your team? Li Ming?"

At this time, a girl came over, raised her chin slightly, as if looking down at Li Ming, stared at the data on the big screen, and asked a question.

"This muscle mass looks pretty good, it shouldn't be a drag on you guys, right?

I have never heard of the name Li Ming.

It’s strange that I can join the Jiangcheng championship team.

Could it be that he got in again like Ming Liyi did last year, relying on this relationship?"

The girl covered her mouth and laughed with a sarcastic tone.

Another girl in a black swimming suit also agreed: "That's right, he must have gotten in through the back door with connections."

When Liu Yue and the other girl heard these words, they subconsciously protected Li Ming because of their concern just now.

Liu Yue frowned and said, “Zhou Rou, your team says they want to win the championship every year, but they always come in second place.

Who are you questioning here? You have no say on whether Brother Ming is strong or not."

Zhao Lin also snorted: "Brother Ming is indeed a newcomer, but his strength, hum, can kill you in seconds."

"Tsk tsk, they beat our team in seconds? Haha, a shy pretty boy, a newcomer? Hilarious!"

Zhou Rou and her teammates sneered and left with their waists twisted.

People from other teams were also watching the show from the side, looking at Li Ming with scrutiny.

It was not difficult to tell from their expressions that they didn't believe that Li Ming was a newcomer at all.

They also don't think Li Ming has strong abilities, at most he is just average.

After all, they had never heard of anyone named Li Ming.

The competition is about to begin, and the teams from the 16 districts are all gearing up and full of confidence.

The team members assigned to the first group have also begun to make preparations.

This was Li Ming’s first time participating in the competition and he had not gone through the entire process, so he was quite unfamiliar with it.

However, Liu Yue and Zhao Lin were very enthusiastic and kept telling him what to do.

"Brother Ming, don't worry about it. Zhou Rou is a woman who can only play bothersome tricks and try to influence other people's mental states."

Hearing this, Li Ming looked at the scrutinizing eyes of the other teams.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Haha, it's quite interesting. The race is about to start, let's get on the track."

Seeing that Li Ming didn't care at all, the two girls looked at each other and became a little expectant.

After all, Li Ming's performance is not inferior to theirs, as long as he can perform normally.

Then, their team can definitely secure a top three spot. (End of this chapter)
