"Left and right, left and right, five, six, seven, eight."

"Good job, keep it up."

"Liara, the left foot is forward and the waist is backward. Neck, neck, pay attention to the stretching angle of the neck, your current posture is not very beautiful. Very good, that's it. Turn around, switch to the right foot, forward..."

After a morning of training with two new friends, I took a break after lunch, and it didn't take long before it was time for my dance class three times a week.

Put on training clothes, and dance your body to sweat under the teaching of the dance teacher.All kinds of life that he had never experienced before time travel made An Yi quickly immersed in it with excitement and novelty.

Just like now, a teaching class of modern dance.Following the instructions of the dance teacher, he followed a dozen of his companions and released his passion along with the music.

Letting him do it alone may feel awkward, uncomfortable, and incapable of doing it on his own.But standing among so many people, he didn't even have room to think too much. He was almost instantly driven by the peers around him, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to his studies.

"Very good, take a break for 15 minutes and listen to music."

After studying for more than 30 minutes, the teaching progress came to an end temporarily. The brown-haired female dance teacher with a perfect figure and slender limbs stopped and clapped her hands.

"This song "Sky", in the process of practicing, I hope everyone will work hard to sink into it."

"When you dance your limbs, you must be casual and stretched, and you must make the audience feel the yearning for freedom. This is completely different from the sense of majesty and power required by the "Great Revolution" studied in the previous lessons. You must Carefully experience the atmosphere of the music, just memorizing all the movements of the whole dance will not help you at all."

After continuing to give guidance, the music was turned on so that the students could continue to enjoy it during their breaks. The dance teacher beckoned and called the two students and walked away, taking them to a corner of the dance room, talking for some reason.

Sitting on the floor, feeling the track of sweat sliding down the surface of the skin, An Yi felt a kind of vitality called youth. He had to admit that even if this time travel itself was not his own choice at first, judging from the current results, It can be said to be quite good.

Relatives are still those relatives, and the world looks roughly the same. Even if a system is bound to him, he still feels that he has earned it.If possible, he believed that countless people in the world would do everything in exchange for this opportunity.The reason is a certain change in life, a certain possibility, and he has obtained it without paying any price. What is there to be dissatisfied with?

"Louis, why have you been staring at Johnny? Are you still curious about his slide music at the national competition?"

When I felt emotional, suddenly a person sat down next to me, and I could tell just by the sound that it was my good friend Cindy Celaya.

"Boy, if you want to know about this, you'd better stop thinking about it and chat with me. If I am satisfied with the chat, maybe I will secretly tell you what song Johnny chose for this competition."

Turning her head and facing the white-skinned girl who winked and smiled at him, An Yi slightly raised her chin and snorted softly, rolled her eyelids and dismissed the towel she handed to wipe her sweat, picked up the sparkling water next to her knees and unscrewed the bottle cap to express your love Not to mention, it seems that he doesn't want to know the news that his good friend and coach deliberately concealed from him.

On the other hand, Cindy Celaya, seeing that her good friend didn't take the bait, opened her mouth with a chuckle and spit out the evaluation of 'boring'.Picking up a towel to wipe the sweat off his neck, he stopped appetizing, and took the initiative to open his mouth to decipher, and talked about the little secret of another friend, Johnny Wasenberg.

During this process, there were some things that An Yi remembered, and some things he heard for the first time today.

For example, until now he didn't know that his good friend Johnny Wasenberg is already 14 years old, and his favorite snack is creamy lollipop!If it hadn't been for the childhood sweetheart of a good friend who took the initiative to break the news, it is unknown when he would have to wait until he cleared the fog and found out the truth.

"...Okay, okay, Cindy, I have to admit, you do know Johnny very well."

Spreading her hands and shrugging her shoulders, An Yixin said that she didn't listen to these gossips in vain.

"But are you really sure that Johnny chose "Swan Lake" for the short program music and "Cello Concerto in E Minor" for the long program? If this is true, I have to say, our future Canadian figure skater The champion of the youth group really has a lot of confidence in himself."

After listening to Cindy Celaya's decryption, An Yiqiang suppressed the complaints about the creamy lollipop in his heart, and quickly dug out two pieces of music from his mind to match the number.Without further explanation from others, I have already clearly understood my good friend's ambition for this Canadian National Youth Figure Skating Championship.

"Swan Lake" plus "E Minor Cello Concerto".

These two songs are not very slippery.

It seems that Johnny and Joyce are quite confident in the programming of this time, and the artistic expression displayed while skating.Otherwise, when Johnny participated in the national youth competition for the first time, he would not have chosen this kind of music for him, which was hugely different from his actual age.

Knowing a little secret of my good friend in advance, An Yi was in a good mood, and after a break, he devoted himself to dance training again.

Before I knew it, three and a half hours passed, and the class ended at nearly six o'clock in the afternoon.After taking a shower, having dinner, and watching two friends practice on the ice, An Yi went back to the third floor of the ice rink to talk to his family on the phone.

By the way, when it comes to talking on the phone with his family, he has to lament that the parents in this world are too hearty to support their son's figure skating practice wholeheartedly, without any requirements for his son's studies.

Fortunately, his son is not only talented in figure skating, but also amazing in learning efficiency.At such a young age, he was usually busy with training, so not only did he not slow down his study progress, but surprisingly, he passed the public middle school graduation exam ahead of schedule.In other words, at least in recent years, thanks to the original owner, he didn't have to run at both ends of the school training ground like Johnny and Cindy.You can seize all the time and devote yourself to training wholeheartedly.

"Hello? Son, is it a surprise to receive a call from Dad? Hahaha, your mother is not free today."

Just ten seconds after six o'clock in the afternoon, the landline telephone placed in the living room on the third floor of the ice rink rang on time.

An Yi picked it up and gave a feed, and a male voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar came out.Through the receiver of the phone, it got into his ear.

"How are you doing, boy, how are you doing today?"

"Training progress—er, what does Dad mean for breakfast, noon, and night? Dad told you, Dad is going to eat a very delicious braised meatball at noon today. It's a pity that you can't eat it alone, son. Why? So? Secretly tell Dad that old Clark didn't abuse you, did he?"

Out of professional habits, the man on the other end of the phone almost opened his mouth to ask about the training progress.Fortunately, the reaction was fast enough to temporarily change his words, so that he did not increase the pressure on the child as his wife told him.

Thinking about it carefully, this kind of worry is indeed necessary.It is not easy for the child to stay abroad with his grandfather alone, how can he mention this to the child without knowing the depth?

Every day at six o'clock in the morning, the child picks up the phone just a second or two after the call. What does it mean?As parents, it is very wrong for them to leave their children abroad. If you don't consider the child's mood, it is nothing to be a parent if you think about the problem from his perspective.On this matter, even the wife who has always insisted on cultivating children's independence has no objection, but as a traditional Chinese, how can he be inferior to a foreigner?

"……dad."

Holding up the phone receiver, he hesitated for a moment, then pursed his lips.In the end, An Yi combined the mature male voice on the phone with the images of two An Yi's fathers of different ages in his mind.

"You want to ask about my training progress, right?"

"Who is your son, a young genius at the Meteor Skating Rink in Montreal, Canada. Just this morning, he has mastered all the triple jumps, and he is preparing to attack the quadruple jumps recently."

Following the tone of the original owner when he was talking with his family on the phone, An Yi sighed, "No matter how genius you are, you are still a child", and said these words that seemed a little secondary.

Then what did he hear?

His father, An Zexian, figured it out, it's his father, An Zexian, not his brother, An Zexian—shout out for joy!Excited like a young boy kissing his beloved girl for the first time, the voice coming out of the receiver was a bit incoherent.

Regarding this situation, An Yi was speechless in astonishment, but also wanted to ask how old his father was this year?

Is it really his real father?Why are you so childish!I don't know what it is about his mother who was so awesome and beautiful back then.

"Very good! Very good! Great son! This is simply the best news Dad has heard in the last half month."

One or two minutes passed, as if enough venting had been done, An Zexian on the other end of the phone calmed down again.

"There is something that my father mentioned before. That...you see, you have passed your [-]th birthday a few years ago, and you will be [-] soon. Both your mother and I feel that the time is almost the same. You can return to China at this time. Just in time to prepare you for the national team."

Opening his mouth, he obviously thought about this matter for a long time. When An Zexian told the story, he did not hesitate at all.

"Dad told you about the situation in China before, you can advance or retreat when you come back from this age group."

"At your current level, there is no problem in participating in the youth group competition. The senior group competition... Ha, wait until you are [-] years old. If you are good enough to be promoted by then, some of the team The old guy insisted on seniority, emphasizing that the next cycle is all about stability. Dad, Dad decided to listen to your mother's advice and let you—"

The words suddenly stopped here, but the voice was obviously gloomy and unwilling.

Then contact him with the 'best news in the last half month', and An Yi can already imagine what happened to his father recently.It is nothing more than the overall plan of the national team. Experienced and inexperienced, this failure is because they did not perform well. The veterans are more stable than the young players. Let the newcomers take the lead. What if the newcomers cannot withstand the pressure?

Hey.

How should this kind of thing be put, in the domestic social environment, it is unavoidable at all.

It is to have the courage to make breakthroughs and use newcomers when the performance of veteran players has not improved for a long time.Or continue to use veterans, at least keep the existing results more than the top and the bottom.This is not only about face, fighting, and all kinds of favors, but also about the allocation of players' competition places in the next competition cycle.

Shaking his head and sighing in his heart, no matter where there are such bad things, An Yi did not hesitate at all, agreed to his father's proposal, and promised him that after watching this year's Canadian Figure Skating National Championships youth group competition, he would return home.

I continued to chat with him for more than an hour, and hung up the phone at around 40:[-].An Yi lay on the sofa in the living room for a while, thinking about his own affairs, his friends' affairs, his coach's affairs, and more. When he returned to China, there would be various possible situations.

National team selection?

Based on the foundation laid by the original owner and his own improvement in about half a year, passing it smoothly is definitely not a problem.

The difficulty is that after joining the national team, he will not represent the individual but the country in the competition.In addition to the expectations of his parents and family, his original body or his own dreams, there are also people from ice fans, people from the team, people from the country, and the country. But if you think about it for a while, you will feel something very stressful.

"Forget it! It's useless to worry about these things now, let's think about how to complete today's daily tasks."

Stretching out his hands and rubbing his cheeks vigorously to adjust his mood, he sprang up from the sofa with his abdominal strength. An Yi glanced at the time and decided to go downstairs to practice.

"At this point in time, there shouldn't be many people on the ice rink, so it's just convenient to continue trying. Axel, who has completed all [-] times and won GOE points, has no extravagant expectations, but at least he has to make a zero jump." Breakthrough! Really, the triple axel is obviously not that difficult, it’s just a GOE bonus, how can it be so difficult?”
