ice emperor

"Wow, that's true!"

Take-off and landing, taxi acceleration, the first time, the second time, the third time.

Jumping around the back of the ice, jumping around the back of the ice, jumping around the hook suspected of jumping off the outer edge of the left foot.Just three or four minutes passed, and An Yi was really shocked. He couldn't imagine what kind of effort his best friend had put in for more than a year to master these two things that he didn't like before. , also not good at jumping.

However, this is good news for him, isn't it?With opponents and competition, he no longer needs to accommodate other athletes and slow down his pace, right?

In terms of the completion quality of the hook jump, the boy on the ice rink couldn't find a single fault in other links except for a slightly blurred problem with the blade at the moment of take-off.The stability of the new four weeks seems to be very high, and the continuous jump has become three times. What is this concept? !

"hi my boss Mr. Lewis, what are you standing here looking at- oh~ Joey, my brave Joey I really miss you. Your face?! Praise God, dear, you really have great perseverance. Obviously there is no one to supervise, but you still stick to the plan I set for you. Louis? Leave him alone, we need it now, um..."

On the corridor connecting the inside and outside of the ice rink, An Yi was marveling at the growth of his friend Johnny Wassenberg. His shoulders sank and his ears rang. Julian Pat spoke and appeared, and when his eyes caught the edge of the ice rink, After the figure of James Joyce in a black sportswear, he uttered an extremely emotional chant, and when he heard his voice, he turned around and looked around, his fat face faded away, and he looked younger, handsome and stronger The man next to her, hugged him, and kissed together with forgetfulness.

Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, An Yi lost his voice in shock.

For Julian Pat's enthusiasm, for his head coach's appearance after the initial weight loss, and for a man who struggled at the beginning, but then took the initiative to lock Julian in his arms and kiss deeply.Lamenting the impermanence of the world, how the relationship between people develops, really only God can know.

Think back to a few years ago when his poor head coach was a spinster.Now, relying on his own bravery, he has successfully regained the rare flower of Julian Pater.The emotional and usage experience must be very satisfying.Otherwise, the French peacock, who has always liked to chase macho men, wouldn't do anything to watch other prey.

"Hi Louis, haven't you woke up from Joyce's new image? I understand you, I understand you, and I can't imagine that only half a year, a person can change so much."

While An Yi was staring at the two coaches kissing each other deeply by the protective wall, he followed Julian Pat's voice and found that his Johnny Wassenberg had already left the ice rink and put on the skates under his feet The skate set came to his side.

"You know—wait! Is it my illusion that you seem to be taller than me? My height was measured last month, five feet seven inches, how about you, Louis? Don't..."

"Five feet seven inches? I'm sorry my brother, I measured 1.7 meters seven a few months ago, oh, five feet eight inches and a little more. I have to say, poor me, seventeen years old and two months old Boy. You are really hard to describe in terms of height."

Hearing Johnny's startled question, An Yi blurted out an answer without even thinking about it, and then glanced at his shocked friend, shrugged his shoulders regretfully, stretched out his right hand and gestured near his eyebrows.

"shit!"

Seeing his movements, Johnny gave him a fierce look.

He bent his increasingly strong arm, clenched his fist and punched An Yi's chest, stomped his feet angrily, clicked his tongue, pushed his shoulder, notified Joyce behind him who hadn't kissed enough, and returned I went to the locker room to change clothes and shoes, chatted and walked together, and sat down in a cafe on the street opposite the ice rink. After satisfying the desire of more than a dozen people to recognize their ice fans, I started Say a word about tea time.

In terms of chat content, of course, every sentence is inseparable from the line.Let me talk about your preparations for the new season first, and then talk about my training plan and the completion progress of new technical movements.

Half an hour later, a pair of close friends not only thoroughly understood each other's current situation, but also exchanged ideas, gained experience, and learned a lot of new things from each other.

"Is that so? Oh, by the way, why didn't you see Cindy? Qiang... ow, my good brother, don't make that expression, did I say something wrong, do I need to apologize now?"

After drinking the black tea in the cup, he picked up the tea set and asked a casual question. An Yi's eyelids twitched and his eyes fixed, and he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

the reason is simple.

His best friend, after hearing his question, smiled less, frowned slightly, and sighed.The mood of the whole person fell instantly, and the clear eyes and the short brown-blond hair on the top of the head lost their light in an instant.

Uh, what's going on here?

Could it be that this pair of childhood sweethearts had a conflict.

Probably not, the guy in front of him has such a good personality that he hardly holds grudges.

The two of them were obviously fine last year, and they hadn't heard this guy mention it during the previous video call.Why all of a sudden——

"Well, I didn't want to mention this matter again, but since it was Louis who asked, I think it's better for me to explain it."

Looking down at the hazy reflection in the teacup for a few seconds, Johnny Wassenberg took a deep breath, tightened his palm on the dining table, and tapped the table with his index finger two or three times , said after organizing the language for a while.

"We broke up, although I was a little surprised myself."

"emmm, how should I explain it? Cindy and I are actually very good and get along very comfortably. However, as we grow up, she and I find that our values ​​​​are not the same. If we continue to maintain a relationship as a couple, in In the future, [-]% will have a bad influence on each other."

Having said that, his voice paused, he raised his head and looked at him all the time, An Yi smiled with a serious expression, his eyes lingered on An Yi's blue eyes for a moment, turned his head slightly embarrassed and shy, and looked at Not far away, outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the cafe, the scene of people coming and going on the street continued.

"The reason for our separation is actually not complicated. Although we both love figure skating, I just want to be the top athlete. Apart from this goal, Cindy also dreams of becoming a star in the sports world."

"This may not be a conflict. But Louis, I don't know if you have any troubles in this regard. During the off-season every year, there are always invitations to commercial performances one after another. I don't want to participate, and Joyce doesn't advise me. , spend too much energy on this aspect. But Cindy is not like that, she is like a girl who loves parties, she is keen on every commercial performance opportunity, and actively improves her reputation and influence. Will it I'm not sure if it will affect her competitive status, but there is no doubt that my 'slowness' and her 'passion' caused us to have differences in future planning. So we decided to separate and let each other calmly think about it. After a month, it will come to a breakup naturally."

"This……"

In just one or two minutes, Johnny was talking and An Yi was listening.The voice fell, and the two were relatively silent for a moment.

Anyi doesn't know what to say. Different choices and different concepts will definitely lead to different developments in the future.

Referring to the experience of some athletes in previous lives, there are those who gain both fame and fortune, and those who have no fame and work hard all the time. There are also many examples where fame is greater than sports performance. Which one is better and more in line with the values ​​of modern people has its own opinion. It's really hard to tell if it's wrong.

And he, as a friend of Cindy Celaya, was of course a little disappointed in her choice, after all, her athletic talent is so good.

Now, he can only pray that his friend of the opposite sex belongs to the type who can eventually gain both fame and fortune, and don't be criticized for being famous without strength.

In that case, even if she is liked and chased by others now, it is destined to only be in these few years.As she retires and changes careers in the future, she will inevitably be forgotten soon.

"Well man, it's all over. I admit that I was a little bit depressed at the beginning, but I don't know why, the longer the time passes, the more relaxed I am, and even relieved at the end."

Seeing that his emotional experience affected his interest in chatting with his best friend, Johnny Wassenberg inhaled and exhaled to adjust his mood and uplift his mood. He turned his head and called the waiter to add some refreshments, and smiled after finishing the things. Said to An Yi.

"Where did we talk before? Is the quadruple jump and quadruple hook jump right?"

“What I’m trying to say is, look man, I’m going to shock the world at the Canadian Nationals next month announcing the return and coronation of Johnny Wassenberg the Great. So what if he missed a year last season? I will go to the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics in 2!"

Full of confidence, the son of the sun is fully fired and radiant.

Hearing such a declaration of the outbreak of the Second Secondary Disease with his own ears, An Yi raised his eyelids and gave the megalomaniac a white look.Xin said that fortunately you retained a bit of reason and didn't say "I'm going to be the champion of the Winter Olympics". If I did, I'm sorry.Sworn enemy, competitor, you are bound to be disappointed in the end.

Looking back on the preparation period, he made so much effort and overcame many difficulties in physical development, short program understanding, free skating style, and so on.The purpose is to create history and gain victory at the world's largest sports event a few months later.

In order to achieve this goal, all the athletes participating in the competition, whether they are teammates of the national team or best friends, are his enemies.

No matter the level is high or low, he will treat them equally until the final winner.
