"An Jun, today is おお梦れ様ででlた. The first release, dear, the next day..."

Arena, commentary area.

Local time in Nagano, March 27 at [-]:[-].

As the last group of the men's singles short program, Johnny, who was the last to enter the court, finished skating and scored, and the short program commentary work of the day also ended.An Yi cooperated with the nhk female partner to summarize and review today's short program competition, and after looking forward to the free skating situation the day after tomorrow, he turned off the microphone and stopped the live broadcast, and let out a long breath while sitting on the seat.

Clap clap, applause came.

I don't know who started it, first there was applause in the commentary area, and then, the nhk staff bowed to him while congratulating.

Look at An Yi——

Well, it’s still the same old saying, it’s not very suitable.

And to be honest, being so favored by a group of people, he, as a special commentator, is embarrassed to show a state of less than 120%.

"Anjun, すごい (sugoi), today's short program commentary is really exciting. The effect will be more perfect in the free skating finals the day after tomorrow."

"By the way, Zhizi, I heard that your idol is Anjun a long time ago. How is it? Today we commented on the game together, did your wish come true? Hahaha, when you go to the 'Troutine Hall' party later, you must Thank you very much, thank you, I am."

"Hey, Superintendent, of course. The only thing to note is that you must not bring Anjun with you when drinking with Oshima and the others. Although he is a foreigner, he does not need to abide by the Japanese rule that you cannot drink alcohol before the age of 20. , but as long as I'm here, don't try to take him..."

After the work is over, thank each other for their hard work.

According to the conventions of the workplace, after the nhk live broadcast team completed the finishing steps, they moved to Hefengshi shop 'Troutine Pavilion' to celebrate the successful completion of today's live broadcast task, and also to clean up the dust for An Yi, a temporary partner.

An Yi followed the rules of the good and followed the Romans when he went to the countryside.

All the way, I listened to the gossip about colleagues from my female partner Tomoko Kikuchi, answered all kinds of curious questions from NHK people to connect with each other, and weaved a network of contacts that might help him in the future. At 08:30, after arriving at the 'Troutine Pavilion', we had a feast and tasted several special products of Nagano Prefecture for the first time.

only……

Watch what appears on the table.

Rainbow trout sushi, rainbow trout sashimi, desserts made of Ichida persimmons, etc., there are some he likes and some he doesn't like. Generally speaking, after trying them one by one, I feel pretty good.

but!

What the hell is this horse meat sushi? !

Take it away!Take it away!

No matter how nhk and his gang straddle it to the sky, he will never touch it!

'...The latest weather forecast shows that the moderate rain in Nagano today will last until the early morning of the 29th.Following the full blooming of cherry blossoms in Tokyo, in the next few days until April [-]th, cherry blossoms in various places in Nagano will also be in full bloom.The special program "Xiyun Huachao" on this station will be on...'

"What? You two have arrived, brother, it's raining outside, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Okay, okay, of course I know that you miss me very much, and I miss you very much, and I miss you very much, is that okay? How about this, you two order first, and I'll be there in about 10 minutes."

Dinner, rest, a new day.

In the hotel room, An Yi, who had just taken a shower and was drying his hair while looking up information and listening to news on the Internet, suddenly received a call from two friends who had arrived at the hotel and were waiting for him to meet up.

He paused in surprise and made complaints. After observing his own image through the reflection of the laptop screen, he explained a few words, hung up the phone and started dressing and combing his long hair.In the process, I wanted to cut off this shawl black hair more and more, and return to the habitual neat style.

but.

Unfortunately, for some reason his dad told him, he can't cut this long hair off just yet.Once it is cut, it is possible to lose a few opportunities that other athletes can't wait for, and they will definitely envy their eyes when they know it.

what is it then?

Shampoo, perfume, extra luxuries.Sometimes he really doubts why his very masculine and straight Lao Tzu understands these things.

woo woo woo———

The noise of the hair dryer resounded, and the black hair went from wet to dry.

An Yi's mouth was "messy in the wind", resisting the sarcasm and quickly taking care of her image, opening and closing the door.

I boarded the elevator and stopped and walked. Five minutes later, I arrived at the Japanese restaurant on the top floor of the Nagano Metropolitan Hotel. I saw two friends who were just about to say hello. The corners of my eyes twitched suddenly and the corners of my mouth were unnatural Twice.

As for the reason, was the horse meat sushi that left a deep impression on him yesterday enough?If it is not enough, there is also horse meat sashimi to add to the fun.

Really!

He really can't understand the concept of Japanese food now.

There are indeed many delicious things, and even more weird and frightening things.Like this sushi dish, like raw egg bibimbap.

Sighing in his heart, he forced himself to ignore the sense of sight of "Chinese food seems to be this kind of urine". After meeting the two friends, An Yi hugged and greeted them one after another according to the principle of women first.

The strange thing is that everything was normal when reminiscing with the friend of the opposite sex, Cindy Celaya, but when it was the turn of the friend of the same sex, Johnny Watsonburg, Cindy, who was watching, was a little excited.

That look, that expression, how should I put it, is really too explicit, not to mention the feeling when staring at him and Johnny, if the arm he was holding Johnny was made of paper, at this moment, he would have definitely been caught by Xin Di, wishing he could penetrate the skin and study the sight ignited.

"Girl, you're like this..."

"nonono, Louis, please don't mind me, I'm just a little... um, sigh?"

Shaking her head and talking, Cindy Celaya looked at her two best friends waving their hands and sighed softly. Apart from the congratulatory smile, the expression on her beautiful face was more about memories of the past.

"You know, the three of us have always been best friends. I used to be with Johnny, and now Johnny and you."

"You know? When I first heard him say that he likes you and how he should pursue you, I wasn't surprised. Oh, how should I put it, maybe without my 'first love', the relationship between the two of you would have been more developed Well? I'm sorry, I was immature."

"..."

idiot!What the hell did you do? !

"..."

No, no, Louis dear.I swear, I just told Cindy the fact that I want to pursue you.Didn't expect her to--

"ow!"

The consequence of the silent communication was that his shoulders sank and he was hit hard. Mr. Johnny Watsonburg, who was obviously angered, even though he wailed, he still firmly expressed through his gentlemanly behavior that I don't care, no matter how dear Louis is to me. Beating or scolding is fine, I am willing to bear it.

Cindy's eyes lit up after seeing all kinds of performances, and An Yi smiled bitterly when he saw it, and didn't even bother to talk to him after sitting down in the position that the idiot opened.

how?

Could it be that they want to use this subtle means to start with the relatives and friends around them and create a fait accompli from the outside in?

Eat your horse meat sushi, horse meat sashimi, silly boy!Good luck with your diarrhea tomorrow at the game.

After exchanging pleasantries, they sat down, tasted Japanese food and chatted about the old days. In the following 30 minutes, the three friends exchanged their lives that have undergone tremendous changes after the Olympics.

Take Johnny as an example. After becoming an Olympic champion, he became an absolute sports star in Canada and an idol of the new generation after returning to China.

From the end of February to before the World Championships, there were only two things at the center of my life, insisting on training and completing much more extra money than An Yi.

In terms of specific figures, Johnny himself said that he didn't have time to count, and the sensitive Cindy gave the answer, [-] advertisements, seven endorsements, three exclusive interviews, and countless news reports in newspapers and magazines every day.

An Yi was completely shocked when he heard this, and he doubted whether the strong bull beside him would be able to handle it.

What did he think about such an intensive work arrangement? Their family is not short of money.

"...mate, I hope you know what you're doing and don't wear out your body. I'm sure the situation isn't getting out of hand now that Joyce agrees with your willfulness. Also, need I remind you? We My identity is that of an athlete.”

After learning about the recent situation of the two friends, especially Johnny, An Yi sincerely made some suggestions.

Of course Johnny and Cindy knew what was going on, they smiled and expressed their understanding one after another. They each picked out their favorite food and ate some topics before talking about what they had seen and heard about the World Championships. After participating in the competition, I went sightseeing in Nagano. After all, I just caught up with the cherry blossom season.

Of course, An Yi has no objection to this. When continuing the topic further, he also mentioned the famous scenic spots in Nagano Prefecture such as 'Zenko Temple' and started to plan the itinerary, but he didn't expect to be busy, but his elbow was touched by Johnny beside him. , looked towards the entrance of the restaurant under his reminder.

only one glance.

Accompanied by his parents, a cute boy with half-length black hair on top of his head, about 1.5 meters tall, thirteen or fourteen years old, with fair skin, round cheeks, and a little baby fat, came into his sight.

The next moment, when he looked over, when the boy realized that he had noticed him, he stood there and smiled shyly at him, turned sideways and said a few words to the dignified and well-dressed man beside him, who at first glance belonged to the elite class , After calling the waiter in the restaurant for an oil-based pen, he walked towards the seat where he was sitting excitedly but quite restrained.

"すみません (simimasen), please forgive me for interrupting everyone's meal."

Approach, apologize, bow.

Although young but well-bred, the boy hesitated for a moment when he came to the three of An Yi's table, and finally summoned up the courage to tell his reason for coming.

"Ansama, my name is Kosuke Shimada, I am an athlete who has practiced figure skating since I was six years old and aims to win Japan's first Olympic men's singles gold medal."

"At the same time, I'm also your supporter, someone who yearns for your figure skating world. This time, it's really a pleasant surprise to meet here unexpectedly this time. So, can... can you please give me your autograph?!"

brush.

After saying his wish, he bowed at ninety degrees, and the Japanese boy named Kosuke Shimada waited for An Yi's reply.

He did not lie, he did practice figure skating since he was a child, and he did aim to win the men's singles gold medal in the Winter Olympics. He really liked, yearned for, and worshiped An Yi as an idol. Being able to talk to An Yi at such a close distance even made him so excited trembling.

On the other side, An Yi's seat was so close, of course he noticed all the reactions of the boy in front of him.

Whether it was his firmness when he talked about the gold medal, or his seriousness when he liked him, it made him feel heavy in his heart.

Once again, he fully realizes that his career is not his own. As he continues to develop in this field, his every move has undoubtedly begun to affect countless future generations.

"……It's my pleasure."

Talking, standing up, and helping the boy stand up straight, An Yi squatted in front of him and smiled and agreed to his request.

"But, Kosuke-kun, where should I sign my name? Ordinary paper won't do. I have a lot to say to you."

"Ah! So many things you want to say to me?!"

"Please, please, please sign in... sign in... that's right! Ann sama, please be sure to sign my shirt! Thank you, this is my lifelong request!"

Hearing An Yi's question and thinking about it for a moment, Kosuke Shimada's eyes lit up and he did it as soon as he thought about it.

next second.

He handed An Yi the oil-based pen he wanted before without hesitation, and then took off the casual suit on his upper body, revealing the light gray shirt inside. At the same time, he turned around and watched his parents not far away. Under the watchful eyes of the idol, he exposed his slightly immature back in front of the idol.

At the same moment, behind him, An Yi watched and waited, and took off the cap of the pen after the boy made his move, pressed his left hand on his trembling back, and moved his right hand to start writing.

From top to bottom, from right to left, a series of words are both encouragement and expectation, just like the last sentence he left before signing his name——

Kosuke Shimada.I, on the highest peak of the figure skating world, wait for you!
