"Wei Yong" You are the Hua of Twilight Ice

When he finally calmed down, Yuuri was taken out of the ice rink by Victor before he even realized it, and sat on the bench in the K&C area.

Yong used a year to give him and the world a brand new self. One year can really change a lot.Victor thinks about himself, about this time last year, being asked about the next season at a press conference.

At that time, he was silent and did not give a clear answer. Although he cleverly brought the topic to the past, he still had no answer after all.Victor has always believed that only by skating with a new mood all the time can the audience feel unexpected.But every time winning, performing, and even kissing the golden medal has become a routine, such a creed has also become a kind of imprisonment or shackles.

Like a prison that firmly holds the prisoner, it is tightly wrapped around the neck, so that he cannot escape.Before deciding to go to Japan, Viktor took Makachin for a walk in the mountains and forests on the outskirts of St. Petersburg alone, and returned to the place where he had lived when he was a child.That place has always been beautiful in Victor's mind, although after his grandfather disappeared, it became silent as if it was sealed away, but Victor still habitually thinks of it when he encounters troubles and depression.

Eastern European-style buildings scattered cold silver light in the starry sky. Victor was in the garden that was far less vibrant and colorful than he remembered. Sitting on the chair where he talked in his arms, he sat all night.

At that time, the person with the same hair color as Victor used to say a word over and over again.Later, he learned that the word was a name - Yefim.

In Victor's view, this is a place where he can calm himself down. After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to discover his own new strength.Fortunately, he went to Hasezu and met Yuuri, and Yuuri did as he wished, and verified his idea, it was correct.

When the thoughts returned to reality again, the score was almost calculated.Only at this time did Yuuri feel the intense nervousness that came out.He tightly clutched the white towel in his hand, and let Victor wrap his arms around his back in a comforting way.

The moment they heard the score was scored, both of them raised their heads in unison. Although 97.83 is already a relatively high score, it still did not reach the expected score of 100 or more.It may be because of thinking about things, and the performance points are lacking, although there is not much penalty for technical points.

When he heard this answer, Yuuri was actually a little disappointed, but not to the point of sadness.But Victor was obviously much more disappointed than him. That feeling was probably a bit like that of a primary school student who failed to hand in the answer sheet after the exam.

When Viktor collected his mood and looked at Yuuri again, he felt surprised.On Yuuri's face, there is no trace of the sluggishness and confusion that he once had because of his unsatisfactory grades.That still small profile face reveals a miraculous expression full of strength and confidence.Besides that, there is a kind of calm.

right!Just calm!

Calmly accept the existing reality, calmly reflect on the areas that need to be improved, and calmly formulate strategies and plans for the next step.

That's the peace Yuuri has now.

Driven by this kind of calm, the last bit of loss deep in Victor's heart finally disappeared without bounds.Now he knows, because of Yuuri, an emotion that he never touched and didn't realize came back to him.He clearly knows his feelings for Yuuri, but things like Love have been sealed away for too long!Being happy for someone's happiness and being sad for someone's sadness is a brand new feeling for Victor.

Time to think about the future!In fact, he really wants to appear on the ice rink with Yuuri!

Coming up after Yuuri is his photo-loving friend Phichit.As Phichit's close friend, Yuuri naturally wants to watch his performance seriously.I have to say that performing the song [ShallWeSkate] whose main character is a Thai is really brilliant. Yuuri saw Phichit so happy on the ice rink, and he remembered when he was in Detroit, he and the three Phichit talked about his dream when Phichit, a hamster, nestled on the sofa bed.

Now, on arguably the biggest world stage, Yuuri is especially happy for Phichit as he slides out the tune, performing flawlessly until the very last move without any mistakes.Also, the promise to go on the world stage together should have come true, right?What a joy!

Today's game made both Yuuri and Victor feel something new, and the price of feeling is that they were beaten by Yuri, who seemed to have discovered something extraordinary early in the competition in the Ice Castle. He kicked out the bench without hesitation on the grounds that they occupied the equal division.

Well, the hamster-loving Phichit·Softfur Control·Churanon is already smiling super sweetly, holding four hamster dolls, and walking over here.Even when you are waiting for the partition, you can’t forget to take a selfie!

Sure enough, as Victor said, no one can compare to Phichit when it comes to taking selfies!

Afterwards, Yuri’s performance was obviously better than last time, maybe because he didn’t have the tension in Russia, maybe after this season he found a relationship worth dedicating, whether it’s family, friendship, or born of confrontation Sympathy...

He learned to acknowledge others, and to be acknowledged.Only when the bright stars are willing to shine on the sky, will they be discovered by the world.

Seeing Yuri on the ice rink now, Coach Yakov felt as if he saw Viktor back then for a few seconds.

"Vicia..." Obviously they are two people with such different personalities, yet they are so similar.That young Victor, who hadn't cut off his silver hair under the impetus of that incident, also showed such emotion when he spun and jumped on the ice rink.It's just that what Victor loved at that time was only the purest form of skating.

Victor's pursuit of new things almost turned into a kind of paranoia, but Yakov knew very well that the original Victor was not like this.Although the old friend has disappeared, and Viktor's parents have hardly visited him, Yakov can see how crazy he is about skating.This kind of madness is enough to make him feel that every day of training and every performance is brand new.

However, all people are subject to change, and a person's life is so short, so even in the past few years, there will be irreparable changes.The freshness that came every day as promised has gradually disappeared. Is it because of the daily cycle of competitions and prizes?

Yakov felt that he didn't understand Victor, but he was indeed the person who understood Victor best.He is just a coach, perhaps, in the past, he was still Grandpa Yakov in Victor's mouth.

But only Grandpa Yakov of the little, squishy Vicha from before.

He can only teach Victor as best he can, making him the emperor who has occupied the ice rink for a long time.This is also for the entrustment of an old friend!

But this also prevented him from noticing the changes in Victor. When Victor was smoothed and learned to face the media calmly, when Victor gradually stopped distracting himself by kissing the gold medal, when Victor began to deliberately pursue novelty, the old The really gentle boy also started to disappear.

When dealing with outsiders, he became more and more gentle, but that was not the gentleness out of his heart, and only in front of familiar and trusted people, he was the childish Victor.

Yakov may be responsible enough, but he has never been a delicate enough person. Even when he participated in the competition, he was not good at emotional expression. It was not until Victor left that he began to think about something.

But even so, he was unwilling to admit that he had done something wrong. There was only one thing, this fierce little old man finally learned one thing, and that was to compromise.

When Yakov woke up from the memory of the sunshine, the afternoon air, and the boy Victor, Yuri's performance had already entered the second half, and no one, except Yakov himself, knew that just now he A fleeting thought.

Yuri completed the entire short program perfectly, and Victor carefully observed the boy's movements.When Yuuri finished the interview, he realized that Victor was not here.He didn't even know when Victor left the lounge. On the chair where Victor was originally sitting, there was only the cardboard box of Makachin lying there alone.

After Yuri's short program was completed, Yuuri also saw Victor's back along the direction of the stairs. The handsome man was lying on the railing of the stand without moving. Seeing this scene, Yuuri wanted to blurt out, but also lowered his voice After calling Victor, he swallowed it back into his throat.

When Victor saw Yuri challenging the technical moves with the highest difficulty and surpassing his historical highest score, he fell silent very rarely.This time, he hesitated a little.Although he would never doubt his determination to love Yuuri and stay by Yuuri's side, Yuri's performance also prompted him to think of a question.

He knew that all they liked was the other person, and Yuuri wasn't only attracted by the honor and aura around him.However, is it really fair to Yuuri to just give up the game, give up continuing to achieve higher achievements, and just stay by Yuuri's side?Yuuri likes Victor who accompanied him in Hasezu, and he also likes him who dominates all the competitions in the World Championships. Even Victor himself, how can he have the right to take him away from the ice rink that Yuuri longs for?

Victor is not a proud person, but he has never been shy about admitting his talents.Just when Yuri surpassed himself again just now, Victor suddenly realized that maybe he made a wrong decision.

Yuuri has always had the desire to compete with himself, right?It is another kind of unfairness to let him lose the opportunity to realize his wish so cruelly!

Viktor was so engrossed in thinking about these questions that he didn't hear Yuuri call his name.He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and it was just this moment of hard work that caused a misunderstanding that the result was neither serious nor serious, but it was definitely not a good phenomenon.

After hesitating for a while, Yuuri looked at Victor who turned around, "Ah, um, how's the game going..."

"Next is Chris, come here!" Victor was immersed in the question he had just considered, because he was concerned about whether it would be unfair to Yuuri in the future, but instead ignored this Yuuri who had already started to have some thoughts.

The black-haired young man didn't catch his fleeting thought, he followed Victor and sat down in the stands.However, when Chris still had a game later on, Victor's obviously full of interest, and the state of deep thought, even Yuuri looked at him and didn't notice it, so Yuuri had to think about him, Victor and the game matter.

Yuuri actually admires Chris's lust, ever since he learned about the relationship between Chris and his choreographer Mr. Reese can make such a sexy dance!I don't know what kind of person I am in my daily life!

But now is obviously not the time to think about this, the flames of war in Victor's eyes are already very obvious to Yuuri who is familiar with him.He... also wants to compete, right?In terms of mutual liking with himself, Yuuri believed in Victor, but could this be an accident that even Victor couldn't control?

If Viktor really wanted to leave the arena, although Yuuri regretted it, he wouldn't have any thoughts.But if Victor changed his original opinion and gave up staying on the ice rink because he fell in love with him unexpectedly, how could he take this responsibility?

Yuuri was not surprised when he heard Chris's score was surpassed by him, but Yuuri was surprised when he saw a brown-haired man sitting in the K&C area besides Chris's coach. This is Mr. Schultz !

Of course, recognizing Chris's choreographer and lover whom Victor described, did not stop Yuuri from thinking that way, if it wasn't for Yuri who couldn't see it, and took the opportunity to cheer for Otabek. , in the middle of the back of the chair, I don't know how long he will have to self-examine because of this possibility.

This time, Yuuri finally started to watch the game seriously.What Otabek showed was a powerful self. Otabek, who basically did not practice ballet, was different from others, completely different.

It may also be this kind of relentless killing intent that made the whole audience feel the sudden awe-inspiring coldness.But on the ice rink, it didn't feel that scary, it was just an unexpected sense of strength, from beginning to end.

This is also Otabek's consistent warrior style.

"Tsk, it's going to surpass Yuuri's score again!" Yuri began to gloat.However, it is true.

On the other side, Victor was still saying, "This exotic style is very good, it feels so fresh!" Yuuri, who was beside him who didn't know that the novelty was almost paranoid for Victor, didn't feel very good.

But Yuuri wasn't the one who felt the worst, Otabek's uncontrollable murderous aura, when he was off the court, uncontrollably directed at the person standing by the entrance of the ice rink, waiting for the final entrance JJ stabs like a sharp sword.

This is an extremely dangerous aura, if you don't face him right now, maybe it won't be so strong.Usually, he also pays attention to putting away his arrogance when he seldom talks to people, so today, JJ can only be said to have been shot innocently.

In fact, it is not necessarily a good thing that the player with the highest score is the last one to appear on the stage. Not to mention that the overall score is relatively high this time, even if Otabek and Yuri in front have a score of more than 110, it is enough to constitute a kind of Strong psychological pressure.

That's it, JJ, who has always been absolutely confident, started to tap his forehead and chest, praying for God's blessing.

Before that, JJ won two consecutive victories in two races, almost without any mistakes. In the eyes of other players, this can be said to be God's favor.However, God will not always take care of a person. This time, the great god did not seem to listen to JJ's prayers.

Still the prelude of [ThemeOfKingJJ] sounded, very grand background sound effects, this piece of JJ expresses the determination to dominate the world.That is to say, when the emperor started to exert his strength, it may be caused by Otabek's murderous aura just now. The first group of combined jumps with the back and outer ice around the jump became a single action because of the momentary hesitation at take-off.

The people in the stands, including Viktor and Yuuri who were thinking about each other, showed surprised expressions.

JJ didn't care about this accident at first. In his opinion, this is not irreparable, as long as a quadruple jump in the second half is turned into a joint jump.But what he never expected was that this first jumping error was like a weird switch, once touched, it would be difficult to close it again.

The second jump also changed from Axel's triple jump to a round jump. The beautiful images imagined in the previous few performances gradually began to distort and rotate, like a vortex, with him as the center, devouring the mind The picture in the picture, until it turned into a black hole and began to devour himself.

If they have not experienced it, others will never be able to imagine what kind of fear it is, falling continuously towards the endless abyss, and standing on the cliff are JJ's competitors.

When people are in extremely intense emotions, many pictures are alienated, just like now, in JJ’s mind, on the cliff, Chris, Yuri, Phichit, Yuuri, and more importantly, Otabek , all with an evil smile, looking down at him in free fall, full of disdain.

Although he actively made recovery later, it is unrealistic to want to reverse it quickly.The subsequent hook quad turns into a lap.

It was almost all mistakes like this, which made people's eyes drop, and Yuuri realized the changes in himself. Isn't the current JJ ​​very similar to him in last year's grand prix final?The biggest gain of this year is probably learning how to calmly analyze yourself and face reality. Apart from the results of the game, this is probably the biggest gain under Victor's guidance!

But JJ is not exactly like himself last year. In the face of almost irreversible mistakes, JJ did not stop trying his best.And this point, after a whole year, I began to gradually learn.

Because of this, no one can laugh at him.Who said applause should only be given to the winners?What's more, it's just a short program, everything has not yet been decided.

After the results of the short program came out, Yuuri ranked No.4, ahead of him were Chris, Otabek, and Yuri.Faced with such an embarrassing ranking, when Yuuri was being interviewed, he was not at all like the original him facing the camera. "I'm definitely going to win the free skating..." Yuuri finally took that step, he could not be bothered by the established facts, and moved forward towards a higher goal wholeheartedly.

Yuuri's thoughts were not very clear until he returned to his room at night, and Victor temporarily put other things behind him because of the free skating competition that was right in front of him.

But he doesn't want to mean that Yuuri doesn't want to, when Victor is in the bathroom, taking away the tension of the day with the warm water, the kind that he deliberately doesn't pay attention to because of Yuuri's game, the faint discomfort continues Back to the transmission path formed by the nerve connection.In the past half month, it is obviously more serious than before.If we compare the previous feeling to the occasional flood that rolled up on the land in the coastal area; now it has become a wave that sometimes rolls up on the ocean that is already full of sea water.

That is to say, even when there is no major event, there is still a faint pain, but because of its persistence, I gradually get used to it, and it is no big deal!If you don't mention this, it's still very comfortable to relax your body.

When the sound of rushing water came from inside, Yuuri's thoughts were like running water without stopping.When Victor wrapped himself in the white bathrobe provided by the hotel and twisted the doorknob, he saw this young man who hadn’t changed his clothes and shoes, and was still sitting on the edge of the bed facing the window sill in the same posture he had just taken before taking a bath.

Yuuri is absent-mindedly looking at his phone, but his mind isn't at all on his friends' activities.Facing Victor who sat down opposite him very naturally, Yuuri suddenly didn't know how to speak.

He has no idea!

Because it's likely to make both of you unhappy.

I can only talk about the news I saw on the ins, such as the fact that Teacher Minako went to drink with Coach Celestino.

Victor didn't forget that before he went into the bathroom to take a shower, Yuuri whispered to himself what he wanted to talk about.At that time, he was slightly taken aback, and saw Yuuri turn around and walk towards the bed.

There were indeed some misunderstandings mentioned before. Victor was hesitating whether to return to the arena, but he was largely thinking about this relationship, and so far there has been no result.But Yuuri confirmed that Victor wanted to return to the game, and even felt that it was a sin to delay Victor because of his liking.Now, this misunderstanding has not been discovered by the two people.

"Yuuri, just now you said you wanted to talk about... what?" Victor picked up the bath towel and wiped his wet hair, which was so silvery white, it was smoothly attached to Victor's head.

It was a question that Victor had brought up first, something Yuuri would never have thought of.In fact, at this time, he was not ready to express his thoughts, but Victor had already asked, so let's speak!A few seconds earlier and a few seconds later are the same.

Yuuri clenched his already clenched fist, and lowered his head without looking at Victor's expression, "Victor, everything before, let's end in this final..."

Suddenly such a sentence fell into my ears, and the silver-haired man only responded with a tone word in a daze.He opened his blue eyes wide, with surprise, astonishment, and even a vague daze in his expression.It seems that there is no reaction, and it seems that he does not want to think about a certain aspect.

"Victor has done enough for me, because of you, I can do my best to challenge the last season." A series of Yuuri's words, Victor seems to understand every word, but together, it becomes his inseparable It's too clear and I don't want to know the meaning.

"Thank you all the time, Victor!" Yuuri suddenly thanked him in a formal Japanese way, "It's been hard work being a coach!" After he finished saying this, he didn't look up.

Now Victor finally understands, as long as he is not a fool, he can understand such an obvious meaning!What else do you not understand?At this time, in this case, with such thanks, there is no room for other guesses!

In fact, Victor's rationality also told himself that Yuuri did not deny this feeling, and he himself really thought about continuing to participate in the competition.However, emotionally speaking, it's one thing to realize it yourself, and it's another thing to hear from your lover to let you go back.

Unable to tell whether it was sad or angry, Victor didn't say a word until the clear liquid fell on his feet one by one.Yuuri suddenly raised his lowered head, and he also thought about how Victor would react when he heard his words.He thought that this man might stare at him angrily, and might be as unwilling to leave as a child, but the only thing he didn't think about was Victor's reaction.

Tears suddenly oozed from the blue eyes, pooled together in the eye sockets, flickering and trembling, making the blue of the pupils much lighter.Victor did not speak the whole time, despite the tears that could no longer be contained in his eyes, overflowing his narrow eyes, sliding down his eyelashes, sliding down his cheeks, and hitting the skin and the floor, without making any sound, silently.

Victor didn't speak when Yuuri hesitated to call his name, reason and emotion conflicted, and he looked very depressed.

"Ah... I didn't expect Katsuki Yuuri to be such a self-talking person..." He lowered his head listlessly, his eyelashes cast a small shadow on his face, trying not to sound too loud Something big is wrong.

Yuuri felt a little guilty, but he still couldn't let Victor lose his laurels because of himself, "I made the decision on my own terms, I want to retire!" After finishing speaking, he saw this person opposite him , more tears fell.
