Episode 20 -

Yun Duo, I believe you have high hopes for Yibai, and believe that he will become the future star, just as I do.

Can we both consider Yibai's future?

What do you mean?

Promise me. Don't see Tang Yibai anymore.

Will you let me talk?

Since you already called me out today,

let me tell you what I want to say. I don't want to hold it anymore.

First, I never used my identity as a reporter to dig out traps for Tang Yibai.

I really see him as my friend.

I never wrote any fake news in order to benefit myself.

Why won't you let me see Tang Yibai anymore?

You are forbidding the freedom of reporting the news. Do you know that?

Second, the picture of Tang Yibai

carrying me is a misunderstanding. I already clarified it with the public.

If we don't see each other anymore,

others would find it fishy.

This, I know. - No, you don't know.

If you know, you won't be separating Tang Yibai and I.

Coach Wu. If you're really doing this for Tang Yibai's good,

you should think, if someone is reporting on Tang Yibai's news,

it is not a harmful situation.

Sit down.

Why do I feel like you're successfully convincing me?

An interview is okay.

How about we switch the reporter? It's good as long as it isn't you.

Why? Why can't it be me?

Coach Wu, think about it. Which reporter understands Tang Yibai's hard work like I do?

The most important thing for Tang Yibai is swimming.

It is competition. It is his dream.

Because I know how hard he worked for this dream,

as a reporter,

especially as a friend, I want to see him achieve his dream step by step.

I want to record all this and I want to let everyone know how Tang Yibai is a respectable athlete.

Coach Wu, don't worry.

If I become Tang Yibai's obstacle one day,

I'll know what I have to do. You don't have to tell me.

You said so.

Let me tell you the truth.

Currently, you have already became the obstacle that is preventing Tang Yibai from achieving his dreams.

You probably don't know, but because of your situation,

it affected Asia Elite Training Team's view of him.

He rejected the offer to join Asia Elite Training Team to protect you.

Because of me?

He probably didn't say it directly, but I know he probably did so to protect you.

If this situation only affects me, that's fine.

I can still speak with my achievements. But what about Yun Duo?

I can't just protect myself and ruin her career.

So, Head Coach Yuan.

I hope you can take back your decision and allow Yun Duo to continue her interview.

I'm done with what I want to say.

Excuse me. I still need to go practice.

He has already gone to this extent.

Yun Duo, shouldn't you consider for him too?

4, 3, 2, 1.

One more. Keep it up!

Everyone gather up.

Let me announce something. To allow everyone to focus on training,

Coach Wu suggested that we have a 5 days, 4 nights private training. Coach Wu is in charge.

You are forbidden to go out. Phones are confiscated.

In these 5 days, you can only do 3 things.

Train, eat, sleep.

Sleep, get up and train again,

eat again, and sleep again.

You're even confiscating our phones? Are you letting us live?

That's right.

The time you guys waste on your phones is too much.

In the Dream Cup competition, if you want to go into the top 8,

you must take out your determination.

Do you know how many people's tears and regret you are standing on, to be here right now?

Do you want to become one of those people?

Tomorrow 7 am, meet up in front of the school.

Come here. - Coach said so.

This time during our private training, we must tighten our minds and push ourselves to our limit. Do you understand?

Yes.

How is that preparation going?

I'll take care of the activities. Ming Tian took a break.

That's decided.

Yibai, let me tell you. There's something that is very weird.

The private training is usually after Dream Cup competition. Why is it taking place in advance?

Because of me. - Because of you?

Tell me why. Are you hiding something?

Why are you so nosy? Get practicing.

You're not done speaking yet. Tell me.

What nosy? Why don't you finish your sentence?

Because I noticed that the two times that I swam the best,

you were there. You're like my lucky charm.

As long as you're there, I can swim faster than everyone in this world.

I am sorry for causing these troubles, but I won't apologize for chasing after my dream.

My suspension these 4 years had taught me that if one loses their dream, they are no longer living.

So, I have returned.

Here are my teammates and coach who fight and chased after our dreams together. Here is my starting point.

We said we would win the championship. We said we would make South Physical first in the nation again.

I cannot easily break that promise.

Did you ever consider the fact that

Tang Yibai worked so hard to come back to swimming,

but now, because of you, his swimming career is affected.

If you were Tang Yibai, what would you do?

Because of your situation,

It affected Asia Elite Training team's view on him.

To protect you, he gave up on joining the team.

Tang Yibai didn't really give up on joining Asia Elite Training Team because of me, right?

I'll be the culprit, then.

Come here. I have something to announce.

During this time, I have seen everyone's hard work.

However, you should know

that only a limited number of interns will remain. Thus, I will review each person's recent performance

and only keep the top six interns

to continue to work as the intern reporters.

Yun Duo. Are you done organizing the info on Tang Yibai?

Immediately give it to Cheng Mei.

Director Liu, please give me another chance.

I will give you two options.

One, QK Video will cancel the interview with Tang Yibai.

Two, let someone else interview Tang Yibai.

Sorry. Because I didn't pay attention to my own actions, it has brought trouble to QK Video.

I am willing to accept the consequences. But Tang Yibai is innocent in this situation.

Director Liu, I will give Cheng Mei the organized info.

Please continue the project to interview Tang Yibai.

Yun Duo. In a lifetime, sadness is never ending.

If we are fated, we shall meet again. Do you understand?

This is a gift I won in last year's lottery. I always kept it.

I will really miss you. Accept this gift.

Teacher Sun. It isn't confirmed yet that I'm leaving.

You already gave me a goodbye gift. Take it back.

Yun Duo.

Director Liu has already given his word. That performance log cannot be taken easily now.

Once he speaks up, there is no going back.

Is there no more hope? What if I work harder and harder?

Yun Duo. In many situations, hard work will not make a difference.

I really admire you. You work very hard, but you aren't lucky enough.

Time, life, luck.

If you interviewed Sun Yang last time,

in terms of rewards and achievements, you would be first place.

If you interviewed Sun Yang last time,

in terms of rewards and achievements, you would be first place.

Of course you're here.

Take it.

If you have a knot in your heart, you should resolve that first.

Your heart is never here. You won't be able to practice.

Are you still unhappy about Yun Duo and Brother Lin Zi dating?

Don't bother. I already thought of a plan for you.

I will sacrifice myself. I'll ask her for you.

Yun Duo.

How have you been? - How have you been?

Sorry. - Sorry.

We're really in unison.

Yea.

I was supposed to apologize. Why are you apologizing?

I didn't know that you have a boyfriend already.

The incident before probably brought you a lot of trouble.

You're talking about that situation? Lin Zi isn't my boyfriend.

He made it up to put to rest the situation with you.

What are you laughing at?

Nothing. Why did you apologize to me, then?

I caused you to get tangled up in this situation.

I heard it affected your chance to join Asia Elite Training Team.

If necessary, I can come clarify. I don't want to cause you...

It was my decision to reject them and to stay.

I want to represent South Physical and compete for the Dream Cup.

I want to fight alongside Qi Ruifeng and compete with Ouyang Heng.

Also, I want Coach Wu

and...

a certain person to see me swim as the fastest male swimmer in China.

I haven't done it yet so I can't leave yet.

Is that "certain person" me?

Yes.

Then, don't make me wait until I'm old.

Don't worry. I won't let you wait until you're old.

I forgot to tell you. We are having a private training session starting tomorrow. So, we won't be at school.

The interview has to wait until next Monday.

What's going on? Is it canceled?

No, it isn't.

We'll talk about when you come back. I'll be leaving first.

I have time. I'll send you off.

No need. You still have to prepare for the private training. I'll go by myself.

Bye bye. - Bye bye.

Coach Wu, in order to not let us have fun, you are trying too hard.

This place is brilliant. 100 points!

I'll give you 10 minutes to put your stuff down. Meet up at the lake side and run 10 laps.

Hey Coach Wu. 10 laps? How big is that lake?

Don't worry. It's very small.

Okay. 9 minutes and 50 seconds. 49 seconds. Hurry!

47, 46, 45.

Why are you so tired? It's only the second lap.

There's 8 laps left. 8 laps.

Remember to pace yourselves. Let me help you pace.

One, two. One, two. One, two.

The ones behind follow up.

Alright. Keep it up. Eight laps left. I'll wait at the finish line.

Yibai, what did you do? Why is Coach Wu punishing us like this?

He wants to tire me out so I don't have the energy to think about other things.

What do you mean?

You don't have to know. You just have to run.

Go.

Yibai.

Yibai, you stayed because of me.

I won't let your decision go to waste.
