Tang Yan, who had never had siblings couldn't help but treat her as a sister.
When he went out, Ye Shiwen and the other swimmers were already doing their final preparations before the event.
Seeing Tang Yan come to her match, Ye Shiwen's face lit up in delight and she poked her tongue out at him.
Tang Yan smiled and rolled his eyes in response.
The test for the 200m women's medley began very quickly.
The medley event required swimmers to use all four strokes, in the order of butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle.
After the swimmers entered the water, Ye Shiwen quickly stood out and grabbed the first position.
Although she was only 14 years old, her strength was already top-notch in the swimming team.
After the butterfly stroke was the backstroke, Ye Shiwen still led everyone, and the distance was constantly expanding.
It was clear to see that she was quite talented in the four strokes. Just with the first two strokes she had already opened up a gap.
Tang Yan looked on with satisfaction from the sidelines, this was exactly the same Ye Shiwen of his previous life. She would become famous in the swimming world due to her talent and age.
She would grow to be invincible at her peak.
After the backstroke was the breaststroke, but at this time what everyone including Tang Yan didn't expect was that when Ye Shiwen was about to reach the wall and needed to turned, she would fail to get in position in time and barely completing the tumble turn she almost swam into the next lane.
Everyone on the sidelines gasped and sighed seeing such a huge mistake.
Many turned and shot a questioning gaze at Tang Yan, she had seemingly committed the same mistake when turning as Tang Yan had.
Tang Yan who was also watching, couldn't help but knit his brows.
In middle and longer distance races, turning was a very crucial link. The top swimmers basically relied on this to open up a bigger gap. Ye Shiwen's mistake caused her previous lead to be ruined. The pack of swimmers swarmed in and caught up.
Shen Qing saw this scene and was constantly shaking his head, disappointed.
The breaststroke was the slowest stroke of the four strokes. After Ye Shiwen lost her lead, she was back among the pack.
Coming up for the last turn and the last 50m, Tang Yan stared down at Ye Shiwen.
Fortunately in this turn with Ye Shiwen exerting all her strength, she regained the lead and launched into the freestyle stroke, her skill at this stroke was evident.
Within the last 50 meters, she regained the lead and opened up a gap and launched forward to touch the wall to finish first, which riled up cheers from the sidelines.
In the end, her time was fixed at 2 minutes and 18 seconds 21, which was beyond the requirements of the A grade criteria of the National championships and reached the requirements of the B grade criteria of the World Championships.
Even with such mistakes, she still achieved such a good result, cementing her status as a child prodigy.
Tang Yan was also relieved.
In his past life, he had seen a great deal of movies about the butterfly effect. If his intervention caused Ye Shiwen's life track to change, then he would feel immensely guilty.
After the game, Ye Shiwen smiled and climbed to shore, seemingly satisfied with her results but clearly Shen Qing didn't feel the same way, as he directly pulled her to the side to talk.
After some reprimanding, Ye Shiwen lowered her head and walked towards the showers.
Tang Yan cast a worried gaze at her retreating figure.
However, after a quick shower Ye Shiwen came back looking nonchalant.
Tang Yan showed a smile, this little girl seemed to have a strong mental state.
Ye Shiwen rushed over to Tang Yan.
As the two left the swimming area, Tang Yan couldn't help but ask: "Shiwen, what happened with your tumble turn back there?"
"Ah? Nothing, I just wasn't careful" Ye Shiwen said smiling bitterly.
Seeing Ye Shiwen's expression, Tang Yan knew that it was definitely not as she said.
Tang Yan stopped: "If you're gonna lie to me, I'm going to be disappointed."
Seeing Tang Yan's gaze, Ye Shiwen's face turned panicked.
"Really... it's nothing, I just wasn't careful..."
"Shiwen!" Tang Yan called with a stern tone.
Ye Shiwen glanced up and burst into tears.
Seeing Ye Shiwen's reaction, Tang Yan couldn't bear it and his heart softened. He was ready to apologize when Ye Shiwen said reluctantly: "I....I just wanted to break a record like you."
Listening to Ye Shiwen's words, Tang Yan's heart trembled further.
Ye Shiwen wiped her tears and said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter. I reached the requirement. I came in with too much speed and I turned too late..."
"Shiwen!" Tang Yan interrupted Ye Shiwen's words and said softly:
"This is only a test match, it doesn't matter even if you beat the record time okay, it won't count for anything. It's not worth the risk, if you failed to meet the criteria because of that you wouldn't be able to go to the National Championships or the World Championships!"
"I... I didn't think of that but it's okay...."
"I still won anyway" Ye Shiwen said in a somewhat disregarding tone.
"You!" Tang Yan didn't know what to say to her.
Ye Shiwen saw Tang Yan's disapproving gaze and unconsciously bowed her head.
Tang Yan went to continue reprimanding her but remembered that whilst Ye Shiwen entered the swimming team early, she was still only a 14-year-old girl, an athlete who had barely touched the outside world.
He was reborn but Ye Shiwen wasn't.
His attitude softened and he reached out and patted Ye Shiwen's head.
Ye Shiwen looked up and her eyes were full of grievances.
Tang Yan reached out and wiped her tears and said:
"Okay, maybe I'm being too harsh but one thing you must remember, there are no redos. This trial is very important for you, you have to promise me not to treat it like a game. Otherwise, I will never talk to you again."
"I..." Ye Shiwen nodded hard and said, "I won't, I'll treat it seriously!"
When he heard Ye Shiwen agree, Tang Yan reached out and ruffled her hair and said, "Okay, let's go get some cake."
"Cake?" Ye Shiwe's face lit up in glee.
"Brother Tang's the best!"
Tang Yan had no choice but to smile.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
