Tang Yan and Sun Yang enjoyed the cheers of the audience and walked along the swimming lane all the way back to the athletes tunnel."Brother Tang! You were so good!"
Ye s.h.i.+wen rushed up seeing them and shouted.
Tang Yan smiled and hugged Ye s.h.i.+wen.
"Brother Sun, you were good as well." Ye s.h.i.+wen reached out and gave a thumbs up to Sun Yang.
Sun Yang smiled and returned a thumbs up to Ye s.h.i.+wen.
"Where is our love, we cheered for you as well Brother Tang"
At this moment, Fu Yuanhui, who was the same age as Ye s.h.i.+wen, muttered.
"Yeah, Brother Tang is too biased!" Xian Jing the 100m backstroke swimmer echoed.
Tang Yan glanced up at Fu Yuanhui.
"What do you want?" Tang Yan said with a smile.
"Well...I don"t know~" Fu Yuanhui said and held out her hand. "At least give us a high five!"
Tang Yan stretched out his hand with a smile, ready to give a high-five to Fu Yuanhui.
But at this moment, Fu Yuanhui suddenly took advantage of his raised hands and ran up to hug him.
It happened so suddenly, Tang Yan couldn"t respond in time.
Sneaking a hug and taking advantage of Tang Yan, Fu Yuanhui retreated, shouting as she ran: "Sister Jing, I told you I could get a hug as well, haha you owe me ¥60!"
"...."
Tang Yan was speechless, he looked over to see Xian Jing"s face flus.h.i.+ng. Needless to say, these little girls must have made a bet.
He smiled wryly and shook his head.
".....Uhhh...it was.." Xian Jing blus.h.i.+ng, tried to explain.
"It"s fine haha let"s go back first. "Tang Yan shook his head with a light smile.
Tang Yan smiled and then went back to the locker room with Sun Yang. They had to partic.i.p.ate in the award ceremony.
...
After gaining 70% of Zhang Shun"s powers, his body was undergoing subtle changes.
The system gave him the potential, knowledge and abilities of historical figures but in order to achieve this, his body underwent auxiliary changes accordingly, quietly adjusting his physique in order to improve his speed, power and stamina.
His current body was that of solid streamlined muscles, so when he wore thin clothes although his appearance hadn"t changed, his charm attributes had skyrocketed.
After changing, Tang Yan and Sun Yang went out.
The men"s 400m freestyle final would be followed by the women"s 400m freestyle final. The men"s awards ceremony was in between the two.
The award ceremony was about to be held so Tang Yan, Sun Yang and Park Tae-hyun headed to the waiting area under the lead of a staff member.
The waiting area was under the eastern stands. The presence of the three of them quickly attracted cheers and screams from the audience.
Tang Yan didn"t look around much, after all, the award ceremony was about to begin.
"Okay, you can head over now." After everything was in place, the staff member guided them over.
"Tang Yan, I want to have your babies!" Just then, a bold female voice rang out from the crowd.
Tang Yan had just stepped out, hearing this shout he almost stumbled over himself, he looked back and saw a young woman with half-green and grey hair. After seeing him turning back, the girl turned and shouted excitedly to her companions around her: "He looked at me! He looked at me!"
Tang Yan quickly turned his head. It seemed Zhuang Jiajie"s fan scheme was going way too well!
Sun Yang laughed while covering his mouth.
Park Tae-hyun also looked back and smiled.
Tang Yan coughed awkwardly and walked forward as if he hadn"t heard it.
The medals were presented by the FINA President Julio Margolione, a 75-year-old grandfather still full of joy. Although his steps weren"t fast, his face was full of smiles.
First on stage was Park Tae-hyun, the bronze medalist.
Park Tae-hyun smiled. Although he lost out slightly, his mentality was well adjusted and there was no frustration on his face.
Sun Yang followed, his debut immediately attracted cheers from the audience.
Sun Yang was also very excited. After receiving the medal, he raised it to the audience as soon as possible.
The last person to receive his medal was Tang Yan, he received his flower bouquet and walked up to the top of the podium.
Julio Margolione relaxedly walked up.
"Congratulations, I look forward to your future." Julio Margolione smiled sincerely before hanging the medal around his neck.
"Thank you," Tang Yan said, reaching out and shaking hands with Margolione.
When Tang Yan straightened up, the whole stadium instantly boiled, and the chants of "Tang Yan" were deafening.
Tang Yan raised his gold medal amidst the cheers to the audience.
"Hey, you"ve got another beauty admiring you." Sun Yang suddenly came over and said to him.
After hearing this, Tang Yan followed Sun Yang"s gaze and saw one of the female emcees who gave him the flower bouquet just now.
She had s.h.i.+ning straight blonde hair and freckles dotted on her naturally blushed cheeks with a perfect hourgla.s.s body most women would kill to have.
Seemingly sensing their gaze and seeing Tang Yan looking at her, instead of blus.h.i.+ng, the beauty smiled at him then turned around and strode away.
"Interesting" Sun Yang said with a smile at this moment.
Tang Yan looked over at Sun Yang and they both burst into laughter
Shen Qing shook his head slightly with a small smile watching them both up there.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please stand up for the national anthem of the People"s Republic of China." Just then, the host"s voice came over the speakers.
The audience stood up and looked in the direction of the rising flag.
Tang Yan and Sun Yang also stopped communicating, looking solemnly in the direction of the national flag.
With a heated prelude, the flag rose slowly.
The dazzling five-star red flag was hung from the highest and second highest positions.
With the rising of the national flag, everyone looked proud.
This was a historic moment that belonged to Chinese swimming!
