Episode 10 recap: Gao Feng is eager to achieve results and requests to change his coach.
Gu Li takes Gao Feng to play with claw machines, hoping that Gao Feng can forget about the disappointment of losing the competition. Seeing Gu Li's enthusiasm, Gao Feng decides to buy a doll for her directly. Before leaving, Gao Feng asks Gu Li about the reasons behind her abandonment of her swimming dreams, wanting to hear the true explanation.
Gu Li loves swimming, but she was never able to break through in terms of performance, so she had to choose to give up her dream. The heartbreaking story of Gu Li's reluctant abandonment of her dream makes Gao Feng realize how fortunate he is. Compared to the countless swimming enthusiasts who couldn't make it to the professional level, he has enough impressive credentials to come this far. At the same time, Gao Feng also experiences the same anxiety as Gu Li did in her childhood. He is currently facing a bottleneck period, burdened by his father's high expectations, Wang Ji Fei's dominance, and Zhou Yu's pursuit, all of which are suffocating him.
After finishing the conversation with Gu Li, who hurriedly left, Gao Feng feels happy about their chat and continues to send voice messages to Gu Li. Gao Feng knows Zhou Yu's strength, and losing to Zhou Yu has left him feeling low. Additionally, being constantly burdened by his father's expectations has caused him to feel a bit insecure. As a result, he begins to feel that he doesn't really enjoy swimming. Gu Li answers Gao Feng's questions one by one, and Gao Feng suddenly feels a sense of relief.
Liang You Guang knocks on Liang Bing Bing's door, asking her to return to the sports school early with them because he doesn't want her to be alone. Liang Bing Bing slowly accepts Liang You Guang's care and, after hesitating, agrees to his arrangement. Liang You Guang goes to call Liang Bing Bing in advance and anxiously waits for her until she gets on the car, finally feeling relieved.
Zhou Yu returned home and immediately went to the noodle shop, carefully handing over the silver medal he had obtained to Yu Min Yi. Yu Min Yi was very happy with Zhou Yu's achievement, and Zhou Yu assured Yu Min Yi that the next medal he brings back will definitely be a gold one. Yu Min Yi was delighted with Zhou Yu's performance and took out all the medals and trophies she had collected since childhood and handed them back to Zhou Yu.
Gao Feng went home for a while, but before he could talk about his situation, his father started scolding him, blaming him for making a rookie mistake. After returning to school, Gao Feng immediately started training, and Zhou Yu also received a lot of attention because of the competition. The media exaggerated Gao Feng's defeat and Zhou Yu's rapid progress, making the relationship between Gao Feng and Zhou Yu extremely awkward.
When Zhou Yu went to see the beluga whale, he ran into Jiang Ying Ying again. Jiang Ying Ying was the caretaker of the two beluga whales he liked, so they had a lot to talk about. After Jiang Ying Ying shared stories about the beluga whales with Zhou Yu, she unintentionally discovered that they had met in their childhood. She had once given Zhou Yu a stuffed toy.
Gao Feng went to find Liang You Guang to discuss his training issues, and Liang You Guang offered some advice based on his observations of Gao Feng. Gao Feng found Liang You Guang's advice very helpful, so he followed Liang You Guang's instructions to improve his stroke rate. However, Gu Luo strongly opposed this approach. Gu Luo cited an example of someone who failed to improve their stroke rate by forcing it and advised Gao Feng to continue training using the previous method. Unexpectedly, Gao Feng's performance worsened as he continued training.
When Liang You Guang learned that Gu Luo punished Gao Feng with a 5,000-meter swim for half an hour, he couldn't help but remind Gu Luo, but Gu Luo didn't let him interfere at all. Gao Feng refused to listen to Gu Luo and continued to focus on improving his stroke rate. Gu Luo found out and scolded Gao Feng again. Gao Feng pleaded with Gu Luo to let him try once, but Gu Luo refused. Gu Luo believed that Gao Feng was now questioning their coaching philosophy, which was more terrifying than losing a competition. Gao Feng explained that he had already lost to Zhou Yu and if he didn't make a change, he would keep losing to Zhou Yu. He also acknowledged that Zhou Yu had more talent than him, so he wanted to change.
Gao Feng couldn't persuade Gu Luo, so he went to find Hao Di to try to change his coach. Hao Di advised Gao Feng not to question his coach just because of one competition loss and rejected Gao Feng's proposal to change coaches. Gao Feng had always envied Zhou Yu since childhood because his father only demanded strictness from him and never cared about his thoughts, while Zhou Yu's father was completely different. When he was young, Gao Feng naively asked Zhou Yu if he could borrow Zhou Yu's father as his own. Now he wanted Liang You Guang to train him, making him feel guilty.
Gao Feng felt that every time he was in a bad mood, it was because of swimming, and he genuinely hoped that his father would stop scolding him. After chatting with Gu Li, Gao Feng went directly to find Liang You Guang, hoping that Liang You Guang could guide him.
