Chapter 191: Li Junhao's Inner Monologue & Pre-match

The Netherlands, currently on daylight saving time, has a 6-hour time difference with China.

When Li Junhao and his national team teammates arrived in Hengelo, it was around 6:00 PM local time on the 7th. They had a little over a day left before the competition on the 9th, which was relatively ample time.

Joining Li Junhao in Hengelo were Ye Wenhao, the senior sister in the women's hammer throw event, as well as several athletes in the men's long jump, pole vault, and other events.

Accompanying them were national team translators and team officials. Among the group, the most well-known were Li Junhao and Liu Jiaonan.

Before this trip, Li Junhao was actually quite nervous.

Although he had gained confidence in the men's 4x400m relay event due to his rebellious spirit and the various stimuli from Su Bai, he was still a bit anxious about his performance in the individual 400m race.

Since entering the national team last year, Li Junhao had only competed in the men's 400m individual event during the Asian Six Nations Athletics Challenge, which took place during winter training. While his performance had improved, it was still far from ideal.

He knew the reasons for his less-than-ideal performance. In the 4x400m relay, he dared to fight for every inch, not wanting to let down his teammates' efforts, and he refused to lose to other teams.

However, when it came to his own individual race, he couldn't help but recall his past experiences. Although he tried his best to control his thoughts, they still affected his actual performance.

He had indeed overcome some of the shadows of his past fragility to some extent. However, he also knew that he had not completely overcome them.

Regarding his terrible mindset back then, Li Junhao naturally knew it was not right. However, psychological issues are the kind of things that the person affected cannot completely control just by knowing they have a problem.

Li Junhao understood that his condition was actually not bad; he was just feeling a bit nervous and anxious.

As a result, on the evening before departure, he couldn't resist going for a night run once again. Somehow, he ended up running to the coach's dormitory building, where he saw Su Bai sitting under a streetlamp, reading a book with a smiling expression, and successfully received a dose of sarcasm from Su Bai's smile.

...

Although others said it was a form of coaching care from Su Bai, Li Junhao just couldn't help but think that Su Bai was too cunning, with so many tricks up his sleeve.

At that moment, Su Bai looked at him with a smile and asked, "Nervous? Afraid?"

Li Junhao's expression immediately changed, and he replied, "Who the hell is nervous! Who the hell is afraid?"

Su Bai's expression remained gentle, and he said, "Alright, you're not nervous, and you're not afraid either."

......

Li Junhao: What should I do if it feels even more mocking now?

Anyway, that night, Li Junhao, who was indeed somewhat nervous, was so irritated by his conversation with Su Bai that he didn't even go for his night run. He turned around and rushed back to his athlete dormitory. His roommate, Guo Dun, couldn't help but tease him.
