The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1140 - 1109 Good Teachers and Helpful Friends

Seeing Xie Feifei at a crossroads in her life, He Tiantian, the once Human Soul Engineer, was about to give Xie Feifei some guidance.

"Think about it, if we wear heavy makeup, put on those so-called evening gowns, and high heels, how are we any different from those celebrities? We represent athletes who challenge human limits; our success comes from our own efforts, not our looks or appearances," He Tiantian advised. "So, don’t be anxious, be confident. I’ll do your makeup in a bit, and you’ll transform into a radiant young girl."

Hearing He Tiantian’s words, Xie Feifei felt all of her dissatisfaction fade away.

"Thank you so much, Teacher He," Xie Feifei said with a smile, enlightened by Teacher He’s explanation.

Everyone has their social value, and as athletes, by simply fulfilling their role, they can reflect their own social value.

Xie Feifei had come to terms with this understanding, but not everyone else had.

When Xie Feifei went out for a walk and saw others busy with their makeup and dressing up in what they thought were pretty dresses and high heels, with inappropriately heavy makeup on their faces,

she found it amusing, yet reflecting on her own actions just a short while ago, she suddenly realized how silly she had been.

Luckily, Teacher He had already taught her better.

Xie Feifei felt that Teacher He could guide her not only in her swimming career but also provide significant help in her social experiences, truly a mentor and a friend.

Xie Feifei had wanted to persuade the others, but considering her insignificant influence, she doubted anyone would listen to her and hurried back.

He Tiantian had nothing to do; she couldn’t go out for a stroll and also worried about whether those bad people outside had escaped, so she stayed hidden in her room.

During her idle moments, she would read a book or watch TV.

Seeing that Xie Feifei had come back so soon, He Tiantian asked, "Weren’t you out looking for others to play with?"

As she poured herself a glass of water and drank it, Xie Feifei said, "Don’t even mention it. I thought I was already quite vain, but when I went to the other rooms, those women were dressing up too. Only their efforts were somewhat mismatched. Luckily, Teacher He, you reminded me earlier, or I would have made a fool of myself."

"Hehe, all young girls like to dress up; it’s very normal," He Tiantian said. "But it depends on the occasion and the role you’re attending as. After the charity dinner, I’ll take you, Xi Rongrong, and Yu Jingjing to the Southeast Asia premiere of ’Tai Chi Grandmaster’ in Xiangjiang. I’ll do your makeup myself for an event like that; that’s an appropriate occasion for it."

"Oh my God?" Xie Feifei exclaimed excitedly. "Really? Teacher He, do you have an invitation?"

"Of course," He Tiantian replied. "Let me see, if it’s possible, I’ll even bring Coach Zhu with us. We can all go to the movies together and see the big stars. What celebrities do you like? Maybe you’ll be able to get an autograph."

Xie Feifei grew even more excited, saying, "I love Zhou Runfa; he’s so cool. The ’The Bund’ we saw on TV was amazing! Oh, and I also want Zhao Yazhi’s autograph; she’s so beautiful."

Er...," He Tiantian hesitated a bit, "if they’re available, I’ll help you get them, but those are big-name stars, and they might not come over!"

"It’s okay," Xie Feifei replied, still very happy. After all, such opportunities were rare in her everyday life.

Young people just love a lively atmosphere.

Checking the time, He Tiantian went to take a shower, dried her hair, got herself ready, and tied her hair up into a high ponytail, the hairband sparkling with rhinestones, and she wore a ladies’ watch on her wrist.

She wore a red sports T-shirt on top and a white sports skirt on the bottom, with white sports socks and sneakers on her feet.

Xie Feifei’s hair was a bit short, so she could only manage a small ponytail, and wore a headband, looking youthful and pretty in the same sportswear as He Tiantian.

When they came out of the room to the meeting room, they saw many people dressed somewhat strangely, with somewhat exaggerated makeup. However, it might have been an issue of technique, and it would’ve been better not to have put on any at all.

When Zhu Zhitao walked in from outside and saw the team members dressed like this, he was so furious he almost spit blood.

If they went to the charity event in this state, he figured he’d have to write a self-criticism afterward.

What kind of clothes are these? Instead of wearing the proper sportswear, they had to wear those arm-revealing, leg-exposing clothes and those glittering, sparkling ornaments. They really didn’t look good!

"How are you dressed like this?" Zhu Zhitao barked angrily, "Xie Feifei, come here for a moment."

Xie Feifei was startled, not expecting the head coach to criticize her for inappropriate clothing, especially when she was dressed exactly like Teacher He.

Xie Feifei stepped forward, and the head coach said, "You are athletes, and you should look like athletes. Look at Xie Feifei’s outfit— it’s very good. You have your own team uniforms, so what’s with wearing all those messy clothes? Hurry up, go back and put on this outfit. We’re acting as a unit today, quickly, quickly, I still have things to say, we don’t have much time left."

Realizing what was said, Xie Feifei understood that the comments weren’t about her; she was actually being praised.

Seeing the head coach say this, although the others were not happy about it, they didn’t dare to argue. The coach held absolute authority in the national team.

With the Olympics next year, nobody dared to challenge the coach and risk affecting their future performance and competition.

Most people went back to change their clothes; Xie Feifei’s outfit had been issued by the team.

There were also a small number of people dressed like He Tiantian and Xie Feifei, so they didn’t have to go back.

After changing, Xi Rongrong came back and muttered quietly in front of Tiantian and Feifei, "Ah, those were clothes I spent a lot of money on, ah, I didn’t expect I wouldn’t even get to wear them."

Yu Jingjing chimed in, "Yeah, my clothes were so pretty and so fashionable."

He Tiantian didn’t say anything, but Xie Feifei couldn’t help but say, "Alright, you’ve seen it yourself, we’re athletes. If you dress up in those kinds of clothes and shoes and wear makeup, who would know you’re an athlete? Besides, no matter how we dress, we can’t compare with those female stars, so it’s better for us to wear our sports uniforms and show off our distinctiveness. There’s really no need for heavy makeup. To outsiders, it just looks like we lack decorum."

After hearing Xie Feifei’s words, Xi Rongrong thought about it and said, "Yeah, we’re representing our country in exchange competitions; dressing like that really isn’t appropriate."

"Mmm, we were thoughtless before," Yu Jingjing added. "Speaking of which, those female stars are really beautiful, so gorgeous."

Girls naturally have no resistance to pretty clothes, beautiful makeup, and lovely jewelry. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
