Chapter 1040 - 1064: Hospitalized for a Few Days
Chapter 1040: Chapter 1064: Hospitalized for a Few Days
Li Tingyan used the excuse of having something to do to take leave, and Nianyang needed to be hospitalized for a few days due to discomfort.
However, the training couldn’t be suspended just because the two of them were absent.
Therefore, Chu Zhan was appointed as the acting Head Coach, continuing to lead them along with the black-faced and white-faced coaches.
Meanwhile, the underwater breath-holding training would conclude in two days. Among the girls, aside from Nianyang who hadn’t returned yet, only Shi Nuan, He Huixi, and a few male trainees remained.
Shi Nuan had used a stomach ache to get by for several days, but today she couldn’t avoid it no matter what.
At the beginning, she wore the issued waterproof suit and stood beside the pool, watching the male trainees dive in one by one, trembling all over.
She thought her adaptation over the past few days had prepared her to face the water normally, but merely looking at the rippling surface from afar made her legs go weak.
How could someone like her get into the water, let alone become a qualified Sea Doctor?
"Shi Nuan, why is your face so pale? Are you still having stomach aches?"
A gloating voice sounded, He Huixi deliberately said loudly after wearing the waterproof suit, causing everyone to look over at Shi Nuan.
Shi Nuan was somewhat at a loss, lowered her head and said, "No, I’m already better, I’m just a bit hot."
He Huixi nodded, "Exactly, we’re training to become Sea Doctors, what trainings haven’t we done? Our physical quality is above average, and you’re an excellent trainee, how could a headache drag on for so long? It’s impossible, otherwise, we would all suspect you may be ill!"
The black-faced coach reprimanded, "He Huixi, how could you speak to your friend like that? How many times have I said that friends must be united and harmonious? You seem to have forgotten your pain since your wounds have healed."
He Huixi’s expression suddenly froze, remembering that last night the Head Coach had issued an impromptu notice.
Because the night Nianyang fell ill, she and Jian Qingqing, as friends, ignored Nianyang and reacted coldly.
Only Shi Nuan and two other girls helped, so she and Jian Qingqing were punished for the remaining month of training, responsible for cleaning the school’s hygiene, and after daily projects, they had to add 30 miles of weighted exercises.
Outsiders thought it was strict rules, but only insiders like He Huixi knew the Head Coach was venting on behalf of Nianyang. If Shi Nuan suffered now, it would truly be a loss.
So He Huixi quickly said, "I was joking, I didn’t mean it seriously. Coach, is it my turn with Shi Nuan? Let’s start now."
The black-faced coach commanded, "Get into the water, I’ll keep time!"
He Huixi looked at Shi Nuan with a half-smile, "Shi Nuan, why are you still standing there? We need to get in the water."
Shi Nuan’s forehead was sweating, she forced a smile, "You, you go first, I’ll have some water and then join you."
"No, it’s supposed to be two people together, this way we save time and should not waste resources. Have your water if you need, I’ll wait for you."
He Huixi smiled kindly, though the malice in her eyes was about to overflow, she wanted to see what trick Shi Nuan would use to avoid training.
She was determined to expose Shi Nuan’s hypocritical facade in public today.
Let Chu Zhan understand he’d picked a lying, incompetent girl, then directly kick her out so she wouldn’t compete with her for men ever again...
