summer monsoon

Two months before the match, Lin Fengliang resumed his previous two-point and one-line life.The semi-enclosed training left him with no time to take care of other things, and he almost fell asleep when he came home every night.

On Sunday afternoon, the ice rink was under maintenance. After finishing the land training, he returned home early.

He opened the refrigerator and put in a box of four matcha puffs that Xiao Ci bought for him at noon.Puffs that are as small as half a palm can be eaten at most once a week.Excessive sugar intake will not only make you fat, but also have many other adverse health effects, such as skin inflammation.Although figure skating is a competitive sport, the nature of performance must also be considered. Maintaining one's own image is a basic quality.

Although he can't do it every day, he always opens Times in a moment of leisure to see where the person is and find some interesting people and things. However, the account has not been updated much recently, only one or two photos occasionally.

Lin Fengliang wanted to hear his voice a little bit.He opened WeChat, clicked on the profile picture of the big mask in the address book and turned it off.Repeated several times, still turned off the phone screen.He is a little timid, if the other party does not want to contact, it is better not to bother him.

After being dazed for a long time, he suddenly realized something, and opened the person's profile picture again. The profile picture that he clicked a few times just now was refreshed. Lin Fengliang clicked to open the big picture, and the profile picture with the big mask turned into a strange cartoon scarecrow, standing on the green wall. on the hill.He chose to save and sent the picture to Xiao Ci.

— Do you know this?

——Yes, it’s an image from a cartoon.

— very famous?

——Well, the masterpiece of animation master Miyazaki, Howl's Moving Castle.

"It is a story of mutual redemption, love and freedom."

Lin Fengliang remembered Ji Xinghui's description.

He connected the iPad to the projector and found the long-known "Howl's Moving Castle".

A boy like a prince suddenly appeared in front of the girl and said: I have been looking for you for a long time.

With the wind blowing from the soles of his feet, he led her to leap over the noisy crowd.

The Witch of the Wilderness turned the young Sophie into a wrinkled old woman with silver threads all over her face.Grandma Sophie left home and was able to enter Hal's magically guarded castle.She was easily accepted by everything in the castle, and penetrated into Howl's life as if she had always lived here.

Adventure.She cut off her long hair, and took the castle with her to find Hal who disappeared in the war to protect herself.

Howl turned back to the black-haired boy, and Sophie turned back to the girl

She stood in the pure land of Hal's memory and shouted to him: Please wait for me in the future, I will definitely find you.

This movable castle is Howl's long-closed heart.

At the end of the magical journey, Sophie turned back into a girl and broke the magic with kisses.

Lin Fengliang didn't understand it a little bit, and only felt the inexplicable sadness lingering in his heart. In the end, in the ending song, Hal and Sophie built a new castle together and flew to an unknown distance.

He immediately called Xiao Ci and made an appointment with him to meet at night.

In less than half an hour, Xiao Ci appeared at his house in a hurry.

"Little ancestor, are you crazy? It's been more than a month and you want to change the free skating track now?"

Seeing that Xiao Ci was a little annoyed, Lin Fengliang quickly smiled at him.

"No, don't just fool around thinking that you can just smile. What's the matter? Which song do you want to change?" Xiao Ci asked him.

Originally, the track of the free skating set the spring that surprised everyone, come on.Even the design drawings of Kosten, the supporting flower god used in the competition, have been sent to the clothing department for production.Xiao Ci was inspired by Lin Fengliang's practice that day, and it took the two of them half a month to arrange the perfect steps and calculate their technical points.Thinking of changing the song temporarily means that all these have to be overthrown and restarted.

"Hey, this is the first time you have appeared in the public eye after your accident. It is too important to you." Xiao Ci's beautiful big eyes were full of confusion and worry, "It's only been a month, are you sure you want to do this? "

"I, I have a song I like, it will be better if it becomes a piano version." Lin Fengliang explained: "Merry-go-roundoflife"

"The carousel of life? Did you watch that movie?" Xiao Ci vaguely remembered that song.Compared with spring, come on, the ice and snow melt like water, this song seems to be more ups and downs, and the special waltz rhythm needs to rearrange the footwork.

But Lin Fengliang rarely asked for anything.In the past games, he has always obeyed the team's arrangements and only coordinated technical movements.This was the first time he made a subjective request, and Xiao Ci couldn't bear to refuse.

They opened this song, listened to it many times together, and found many different instrument versions.In the end, a clean and simple piano solo version was finalized.In the past, most of Lin Fengliang's arrangements for selected songs were mixed versions of bowed string instruments and piano.At that time, the team positioned Lin Fengliang as a high-ranking and talented player, and the classical violin sound combined with the baroque gorgeous and sad arrangement was obviously the first choice.

But the surprise at the training ground that day made them see more possibilities for Lin Fengliang.It seems that he is no longer the elf in the ice and snow, but has become a person with smiles, tears and warmth.

In order to meet the time requirements of the free skating, the arrangement has to be redone.The existing choreography pace and performance style are a bit too delicate, and they have to be overthrown and start over.Xiao Ci called out the technical subdivision table that was updated frequently, and his brain ran quickly.

"Lawrence will never let me go. You killed me." Xiao Ci curled up on the ground and sighed, burying her head in her knees.

Lin Fengliang looked at Xiao Ci silently. It wasn't long before he retired from the troupe's chief and became his own choreographer full-time.

He has seen many Xiao Ci's performances, except that his height is only 175, which is not the best choice for the chief male dancer, everything about him is impeccable.Xiao Ci's mother came from the frozen country thousands of miles away in the north.In that country, ballet is the business card of culture and national pride.Xiao Ci perfectly inherited her mother's beauty and talent. She has long legs and a small face with a good sense of music. She has shown her talents since she was a child. She is already a national first-class ballet dancer at a young age.

But Xiao Ci said that he doesn't love ballet.Ballet is his talent, but also his shackles.Only 23 years old, he consciously hit the ceiling, without any motivation or method to break through.So he chose to retreat bravely and switch to choreography.

At that time Lin Fengliang said: You don't need to do this for me.You don't owe me anything.

In Xiao Ci's heart, he really didn't feel indebted to Lin Fengliang, all he had was the love he grew up with.His father had partnered with Lin Fengliang's mother in pair figure skating for 4 or 5 years, and he was recognized as a golden boy and jade girl in the domestic ice circle.Back then, many ice fans felt sorry for the fact that the two eventually found their own partners and got married.

"Baby, I once thought we were very similar. Live with the talent given by the previous generation, and do things you don't like day after day." Xiao Ci's hair is golden brown, from her mother.The eyes are dark amber and are from the father.

"I wouldn't be surprised if what happened this time made you slump." He casually pinned the hair behind his ears and said, "But I didn't realize until you came back that we are not the same at all. You just Undiscovered liking and enjoyment. Do you know that there was love in your eyes that day. I never knew you liked figure skating so much, and I never knew that liking can make a person stronger."

Love.

Lin Fengliang feels a little distance from this word.For memories related to this word, he could only think of the way his father looked at his mother.He hasn't seen his parents for a long time.In his memory, when his parents looked at each other, they were always affectionate.Until my mother had an accident... But no matter what happened to her, my father's eyes remained the same, as if he was looking at the girl dancing on the ice when he first met.

The dawn of the mountain moon is still there, and the wind in the forest is endless.In order to keep the little bit of happiness with his mother, his father named him Lin Fengliang.I will always miss the breeze with love, which lasts for a long time.

Almost all the things about parents were heard from Xiao Ci and Uncle Xiao when they grew up.Lin Fengliang seldom communicated with his parents. His father would often call him, telling him to take care of himself, to study hard, and to briefly talk about his mother's situation.

"I want to talk to my mother." At first, little Lin Fengliang couldn't help but miss the days when she had her mother's arms and good food.

But when he grows up, these thoughts become blurred. He just has some vague memories. His mother loved him very much back then, and the three of them are very close.

Seeing that he was silent for a while, Xiao Ci pushed his leg.

"Hey, won't you tell me your secret?" Xiao Ci asked.

"What secret?" Lin Fengliang didn't react.

"That is, the secret that made you change. Hey, let's talk about it first. If you don't want to say it, don't worry about it, but don't lie to me and say nothing. I'm not stupid." Xiao Ci said dissatisfied.

"Well, it's not a secret. But, I don't know how to say it yet." Lin Fengliang replied, "I want to change it. But it's not just because of this accident. I know, you have been worried about me, but I don't want to face it myself. That's right."

His parents' affairs came first, and he didn't want to be emotional about anyone or anything.But doing so seems to fail to protect himself from harm, and it also affects the people around him.He is somewhat grateful to Zhou Bingxing, what he did made him wake up in advance.

"You." Xiao Ci couldn't help touching his hair.Lin Fengliang smiled again.

"Lin Fengliang, what strange switch did you turn on, why are you always laughing?"

Lin Fengliang did not answer.Because before he found that every time he laughed, Ji Xinghui would have a strange reaction, sometimes froze, sometimes blushed, sometimes lowered his head, and most of the time, he would laugh along with him.

He didn't pay attention to other people's smiles before, and in retrospect, it was probably the easiest way to express kindness.So now, when he can't respond appropriately, he will choose to smile.

He laughed at the tally clerk in the supermarket downstairs, at the security guard at the ice rink, and after laughing at Lawrence, he occasionally got a hell of a word.Xiao Ci laughs the most, like Ji Xinghui, Xiao Ci reacts differently every time, but most of the time he is happy.

Xiao Ci asked him many times what happened, what happened, and why.

Probably because, thousands of kilometers away, he has Mr. A. He keeps his little secret alone, and opens his eyes to look at the world seriously. In this world, there are people who love him and people who value him, even if he is not, even if he is afraid. Don't stop moving forward.

"Go." He said to Xiao Ci.

"Let's go to the training ground and re-arrange to match the new song."

"Are you crazy! It's so late!" Xiao Ci scolded him while packing up his things and going out the door after him.
