The agreement between Su Bai and Pei Jin'an, although not explicitly spread to the public, became known to many when Pei Jin'an had his assistant coach submit Fang Yu's information to Su Bai. Without particular concealment, this intermediate step became common knowledge, inadvertently spreading among those who should know and even those who shouldn't.

Of course, neither Su Bai, Pei Jin'an, nor Wu Shengping intended to further publicize this matter. As a result, people were left in the dark about what it meant for Pei Jin'an to provide Fang Yu's information to Su Bai.

Surely, Pei Jin'an didn't intend to hand Fang Yu over to Su Bai, right?

Even Fang Yu got wind of the situation. While he didn't think Pei Jin'an would make a decision detrimental to him, he still approached Pei Jin'an and directly asked about the situation.

Facing Fang Yu, Pei Jin'an had no reason to hide anything. He straightforwardly conveyed the agreement between Su Bai and himself to Fang Yu.

"Is it really possible to achieve this...?"

Fang Yu was somewhat surprised. After all, athletes themselves couldn't guarantee complete control over their competitive state. The so-called adjustment of the competitive state was just an approximation. How could it be so precise?

If it were really possible, then when would an athlete refresh their personal best (PB)? Wouldn't that always be within the coach's prediction? Could something like this really happen?

Fang Yu was puzzled by this situation, and Pei Jin'an didn't elaborate. He simply told Fang Yu to continue with his regular training and wait for Su Bai to submit the training plan.

Both the coaching staff and Fang Yu were now in a state of waiting. The late-night trio was also discussing this topic.

Qiu Wen: [Sigh... No good, I feel like Little Bai is going to be flirtatious again. Is he planning to add Fang Yu to his harem?]

Wang Shen: [...Like I said, use less palace intrigue thinking.]

Qiu Wen: [=.= Ah, Old Wang, don't be so boring. I thought you were quite flexible usually. Anyway, when Old Pei gave Fang Yu's information to Little Bai, it feels like there's a high chance of new members joining Little Bai's team again. The White Emperor's unification of the national team is imminent.]

Cui Luoheng: [...] 

Qiu Wen: [0.0 Ah Heng, why the ellipsis again?]

Wang Shen: [(Rubbing chin) Well, he does need to worry about the White Emperor changing his mind.]

Qiu Wen: [...?]

Cui Luoheng: [...no, Old Wang, don't talk nonsense.] 

Wang Shen: [^^]

With Qiu Wen's intelligence and straightforward mindset, he didn't quite grasp the meaning behind Wang Shen and Cui Luoheng's conversation. After some thought, he sighed in the group: [Ah, to be honest, if Little Bai really takes charge of Fang Ge and manages to help him achieve breakthroughs in his results, then that's actually quite good.]

Up until this year, Qiu Wen had always competed in both the 100m and 200m. His sentiments toward these two events were quite deep. For a long time, Fang Yu had been his idol. When Fang Yu broke the 10-second barrier, Qiu Wen had been excited for a long while.

He also felt the same discomfort seeing Fang Yu's form and results decline.

On the other end, upon seeing the message in the group, Wang Shen silently smiled, then glanced at the conversation thread with over a dozen unread messages and put down his phone. He didn't feel like reading those messages.
