The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 27 is also a professional one.
Zhao Xiaochui glanced over there and curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

He tried to put on a mocking smile, but failed, because he had used up all his remaining strength to get to this side.

"What a reckless young man," the old man's voice rang out.

Chen Yanqing smiled: "Even more special."

"Hmm?" The meritorious old man was surprised.

"I touched him before the match, and this kid..." Chen Yanqing thought for a moment before saying, "There's something wrong with him."

Even now, Chen Yanqing can still feel the warmth lingering on her fingertips from that unconscious touch.

Really comfortable.

But comfort wasn't the issue; the real problem was his successful attempt at weighing 109 kilograms, which surprised not only himself but also the veteran.

The veteran raised an eyebrow. "A problem? As a massage therapist, that can only be a massage therapist's problem."

However, judging from the young man's appearance, what was once a 'problem' has now become no problem.

"Eh~?"

The meritorious old man glanced at the corner of the wall and immediately stopped moving.

……

Zhao Xiaochui bent down, rolled up the straight left leg of his trousers, and slowly lowered his now-cold right hand.

Self-internal energy massage!

Thumb pushing method.

Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian.

It's three miles.

The feeling of warmth slowly returned, his stiff left leg gradually relaxed, and the warm current flowed through his thumb and right palm, once again coursing through his body.

It feels warm and nostalgic, like nestling in your mother's arms as a child—so comforting and so memorable.

Zhao Xiaochui took out his phone and posted a selfie:
"Mom, I'm in the national competition."

Soon, that familiar smiling face appeared on the phone screen.

Zhao Xiaochui's eyes reddened.

The heat seemed to know that the young man had been wronged, and it increased its speed imperceptibly. The circulation was re-established in his body, his right hand became warm as spring again, and his stiff left leg no longer showed any abnormality.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaochui finally realized that the heat flow had emotions.

Massaging Li Ying required stimulation, but touching Chen Yanqing made him passionately unrestrained without any stimulation.

The flow of warmth is completely different when dealing with extremely selfish people and selfless people.

"Thank you!"

He chuckled softly, muttering to himself, while simultaneously feeling a surge of joy and excitement within his body.

Then, his eyes turned cold, his face remained expressionless, and he stared intently at the large screen.

The competition, resembling a battlefield, was in full swing.

It wasn't until the very end of the snatch competition that the insidious and thrilling aerial duels between the teams became apparent.

Liao Yunxian withdrew from the competition, and Ma Lingling failed to break the record. As the last athlete's three red lights came on, the audience realized that it wasn't the performance in this weight class that was surging, but rather the planning and strategy before the competition.

Several teams simultaneously increased their declared weight, which scared off the originally competitive contestants, causing them to withdraw from the competition early.

For example, the Shanghai team, which had a top-notch lineup, was originally very competitive. However, when they saw how many competitors there were who could break the world record during the competition, their mentality collapsed immediately!

This team, like Zhao Xiaochui, is too young and got played.

"World records aren't so easy to break," the veteran coach said, looking at the dejected Shanghai athletes with exasperation. "Those old foxes are playing with the youngsters, ruining their competitive form so early on!"

Chen Yanqing comforted her, saying, "Teacher, everyone has been through this. Actually, it's good that those contestants and teams are still young. They can learn from their mistakes and have a bright future."

As she spoke, Chen Yanqing involuntarily glanced at the corner of the wall and was surprised to find that the dejected young man had transformed into a spirited one, intently watching the massage techniques of the masseuses from Jiangsu and Shandong provinces.

"Teacher Shan?" "You noticed it too?" The meritorious old man stared solemnly at the energetic young man. He observed the changes in the young man from head to toe: he stopped sweating, his complexion returned to a rosy hue, and his stiff left leg became normally bent, restoring him to the appearance of a normal person.

"You're right, there's something wrong with this kid."

Chen Yanqing laughed: "Are you interested?"

"Hehe," the veteran shook his head, "I've seen plenty of talented kids. This kid should focus on improving his skills first, and then think carefully about which path he should take in the future."

The old man felt that Li Ying's team was right. It was really unacceptable that they entered this field without understanding the basics of sports medicine.

The old man spoke a little loudly, and Zhao Xiaochui heard him.

He glanced at the old man, pretending not to hear him, and continued to observe the massage therapist's techniques.

Now, even if someone is interested in him, he's no longer interested.

The renewed warmth within him was telling him to follow his own path!
The clean and jerk has begun.

In this event, Li Ying holds an absolute advantage in personal bests among all participating athletes.

But as the old saying goes, in sports competitions, no matter how well you perform in ordinary times, the weight is only yours when you lift it in an important competition.

The first team to compete in the clean and jerk was the Shanghai team. This young team had learned from their mistakes and was no longer affected by the weights announced by other athletes. They played steadily and attempted to gradually get into the competition mode.

How important is this?

During a competition, adrenaline levels can be 5-10 times higher than during training, and the pain threshold increases by 2-3 times.

Therefore, many athletes can perform beyond their usual level during competitions, which is why Chen Yanqing was able to endure the severe pain and finish the competition.

118 kilograms, a rather conservative and lightest reported weight, was easily lifted. The young Shanghai team, unconcerned about others' opinions, cheered loudly.

Then came the long process of gaining weight, with the second contestant starting at 124 kilograms.

failure.

The athletes who reported high weight had to wait a long time, which was exactly what Zhao Xiaochui expected. He watched the massage techniques of the masseuses from Shanxi and Jiangsu provinces with great eagerness.

Their techniques were skillful and precise, and every movement was full of power and rhythm.

He kept replaying every detail he had just seen in his mind, trying to integrate these techniques into his own understanding.

The warmth within him seemed to echo his focus, flowing slowly and bringing a warm and fulfilling feeling.

"Ah~"

"Su Lingling, 128 kilograms."

"Oh dear, it's such a pity for the Shandong team. They might not have had enough time to lift the barbell. The coaching staff is arguing with the referee. Let's see what the next competitor does."

"129 kg, 129 kg ~ veteran Liao Yunxian."

"Chen Yanqing, Chen Yanqing, she also succeeded, 129 kilograms."

"Dear viewers, the competition has entered a heated phase. Let's take a look at the last competitor in the second round of the clean and jerk, Li Ying, an athlete from Beijing who just tied the world record in the snatch."

"Her reported weight is 130 kilograms."

"Okay, that's steady. No, her knee is a little bent. Let's see the referee."

"The barbell didn't go down. Good, the barbell is stable. 130 kilograms, Li Ying!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, the second round of the women's 58kg clean and jerk competition has now concluded."

"The champion will be chosen from the remaining four players."

"Let's switch the camera backstage and see how the four contestants are preparing."

…………

On the Beijing team's warm-up field, Li Ying, who had been resting with her eyes closed, frowned.

Ultimately, there are some differences.

The middle-aged handsome man's technique was indeed more professional than Zhao Xiaochui's, but that was all he was good at.
