"Wei Yong" You are the Hua of Twilight Ice

"Huh?" Yuuri then remembered the most important thing.

Until just now, he had been too happy to forget other things in his mind. Even the first gold medal in the World Championships in his competitive career was temporarily occupied by this kind of happiness.

After Yuuri was reminded by Victor, he finally remembered that before he met Victor, he had planned to be the first to share it with this man, but after meeting this man, he forgot all about it within a few minutes honor.

He went to the corner and pulled the unpacked suitcase to the edge of the sofa, and pulled out the thing in the middle of the suitcase, which was carefully placed under the padded clothes, "That...Victor," Yuuri tensed All kinds of words do not express their meaning, including the habitual mantra of "this and that", all of which belong to this category.

"Victor, the gold medal of the World Championships..." Yuuri stopped talking straight away, he raised the golden object in his hand and held it in front of Victor, "Because I was so happy to see Victor yesterday, so I... forgot "The young man's face showed a shy beauty under the sunlight after ten o'clock in the morning.

As soon as he saw Yuuri's gold medal, he was still thinking about flirting with him, and the idea of ​​blushing so easily after being with him was so easily forgotten by Victor.

The gold medal was snatched by the silver-haired man.Victor held the gold medal in his hand, and after seeing it for a moment, his blue eyes widened in surprise, "Oh! This gold medal is so beautiful, Yuuri!"

Yes, the medals of this World Championship are very beautiful, even Victor admits that they are the most beautiful medals he has ever seen.

It stands to reason that, generally speaking, every time a major event is held, the medals are designed by the host country itself.As for the results of the design, it depends on their own creativity.But before the flower presentation ceremony, no one thought that the medals of this World Championships would be so amazing.

The main body of the medal is naturally gold, and the back is the same engraving. Every Grand Prix maintains this tradition.But on the front, there is a lot of design space left.The part wearing the ribbon is a unique cloud pattern in Chinese culture, and the front of the golden medal is inlaid with a pattern of a skate. According to reports, these stone parts are emeralds with extremely oriental characteristics.On the top of the emerald, another layer of gold is inlaid, which is the side of the skates, and a pattern of treble clef is embedded, which symbolizes the complementarity of music and performance.

The medals of the World Championships are not big, which provides the possibility to use emeralds as inlays.Otherwise, there will be no stone when it is too big, and the price will be too high.

Of course, because of the difference in rankings, the selected emerald water is naturally different.Just like Yuuri's gold medal, it is made of ice blue water jadeite.The silver and bronze medals use waxy water ground floating flowers and ice ground golden silk respectively.As for the most delicate colorless glass, it is impossible to use it to make medals.That kind of top-quality jadeite is too rare, and the output is scarce, so they can only let them imagine and make up their minds in the theater in their brains after hearing the introduction.

So judging from the appearance and water, Yuuri's blue water is very good, and Victor won't let it go when he sees it.

"It's super pretty, Yuuri! It's a magical oriental stone!" Well, Victor, who knows little about jadeite, can only comment like this now before he can spend a lot of time understanding it.

Victor admired it for a long time before continuing to look at the shiny object in his hand, and walked towards the display cabinet at home, "This is Yuuri's first World Championships gold medal! And it looks so good, it must be put away carefully! "

He put the gold medal face up and put it into a medal box that had already been ordered in the cabinet, propped his chin, and looked at it for a long time before he took his eyes off the gold medal on the black velvet Come.

Seeing Viktor's undisguised happiness, Yuuri also laughed when he rushed towards him and hugged him.

Victor went out to buy breakfast in advance, and because of Yuuri's jet lag, Victor expected that breakfast and lunch would probably be eaten together.This point finally proves that Victor was not wrong at all.After putting away Yuuri's gold medal, he silently applauded the decision he had just made, jet lag or something, it really is a very difficult thing for his family Yuuri!

But having said that, Yuuri, who was half asleep and still in a daze, was almost powerless to resist!Very cute!

Victor's happy mood has been maintained from yesterday to this afternoon. He originally wanted to leave Yuuri at home to rest and go to the ice rink to practice by himself, but Yuuri did not agree with his arrangement. Even if he is resting, he also likes it. Watching Victor's training.So the black-haired young man went out with the silver-haired man after all.

Because he is not very sociable, there are only a few players that Yuuri is familiar with in St. Petersburg, so after Yuri and Popo, who are more familiar with him, are all put on vacation by Coach Yakov, they get along with Yuuri. There are not many familiar players.So he obediently greeted everyone, said hello to coach Yakov, and then very consciously hugged Victor's jacket and skate holster, and lay down on the fence beside the ice rink.

Victor has now completely determined the choreography of the two versions of the short program, [Meltbeforemidnight] and [Flamebeforemidnight]. Except for the difference in performance, there is no difference in the technical aspects of jumping and spinning.

According to the requirements of the Skating Federation, the men's singles adult group needs to have an Axel jump, a triple or quadruple jump immediately after the connecting footwork, and a group of combined jumps that do not repeat a single jump.

For Victor, all quadruple jumps are naturally possible.

Maybe it was really due to the rest of this season and the influence of Yuuri, the sense of crisis and fighting spirit that had been on the verge of being ignored had gradually taken root again.In this technical movement, in addition to the required Axel triple axel jump and a single back-inside quadruple jump in the first half of the program, in order to increase the difficulty, a group of hook quadruple jumps are connected to the back-outside The joint jump of the ice quadruple jump was placed near the end.

This level of difficulty has never been tried before, and it must be Victor who has the capital to arrange it like this!

In terms of rotation, the World Skating Federation has also made clear requirements.Similar to the technical requirements for jumping, the spin must have a jump-and-spin, a swallow or squat spin with a foot change, and a combined spin with a foot change and two posture changes.

Up to now, after three months, not only the technical movements have been finalized, but also the two kinds of sequential steps and other choreographed footwork are certain.

Yuuri was watching Victor's music training on the side of the ice rink, because he just entered the stage of music together not long ago, so Victor only finished [Flamebeforemidnight], and the other happy [Meltbeforemidnight] started today.

It was the first time he heard the music and the first time he saw Victor perform after the offseason.

Victor turned sideways, his left foot lightly tapped diagonally behind his right foot.His left hand was on his waist, and his right arm was spread out to the back of his body. His fingers were long and slender, with subtle joints, extending out a beautiful and cold arc.He still made his appearance at the beginning of the short program.

"Yuuri!" The silver-haired man called Yuuri's name directly as he had done countless times before.On the sidelines, the black-haired young man knowingly pressed the button on the playback controller of the sound system, which represented the start.

When the music started, Yuuri didn't realize what kind of instrument it was.It's just a cold and harsh auditory effect, like the branches that have been hit by wind and frost, and the falling rime and ice, hanging down.

Because he was half-tilting his head, the bangs on Victor's forehead were tilted to one side, and there were some layers, far away from the shadows of the world, falling on the side of his face.It's like a god standing high in the sky, beautiful but without the breath of life that belongs to the world.

This program is called "Melting Before Midnight"!Yuuri suddenly remembered the title of the song that Victor had mentioned on the way to the ice rink.

Victor also said that the other song "Burning Before Midnight" has been completed, because some time ago he remembered his childhood and some old things in the past, so he was not in a good mood, the feeling of searching similar to kissing a candle, he already knew how to to express.But with Yuuri here for a while, every day is a very happy and joyful day, probably only this kind of mood can melt the coldness and give life back, right?

The black-haired young man seemed to understand something. Victor's selection order was because he didn't want to think about unhappy things when he was with him, right?He thought this way in his heart, although he really admired the arranger ability of Victor's royal composer, and was very curious about such another set of music with the same tone and different rhythm, but he didn't say anything more.

Yuuri almost immediately guessed the connotation of this show, this style has some strange familiarity, but it is not the same as Victor's previous style.It seems that there are some changes that cannot be ignored.Yuuri won't know the reason for this familiarity and unfamiliarity for a while, he thought, staring carefully at the man in the middle of the ice rink.

If it is for someone who has a little knowledge of classical music or opera to listen to, then this person can definitely tell everyone that in this introduction, the clear and crisp melody that hangs above the violin in the cool sound of the bow is caused by What instrument sounded out.

Yes, they will swear by Mendelssohn, Gustav, Vivaldi, Brahms, and all the most outstanding composers in Western music so far, and they can conclude that this is the xylophone and glockenspiel. Heming.Moreover, they probably could swear a second oath in the name of Paganini by the way, that the cool sound of the violin must have come from a Stradivari violin.

The xylophone is high and clear, and the glockenspiel is crisp and cold. These two tones play the same tune, harmonious and intertwined, which makes people feel like seeing a god in the snow and ice.

The introduction belongs to the rhythm of sanban. When the music started, Victor raised his right arm from back to bottom to front to top.The elbow drives the forearm, slides across the side of the face and continues upward.With the first accent in the music, he turned his hands over, palms facing himself, and then, his elbows fell back in front of his eyes.

As he spread his hands back, Viktor began to slide.Tilting his head slightly, the man's silver hair was blown to one side by the opposite wind.Probably this is the god who does not eat fireworks on earth!

No!Not really, this is just the usual appearance in Victor's previous performances.Don't care, don't look into the eyes, and don't give.This is the him who used to live in the camera and on TV.

He glides like this, it really feels like ice.

I don't know when, the bottom note of the violin joined the murmur of the viola, like the mist that lingers in the air in winter and cannot dissipate.

This is a piece of ice pressed against life that will melt in the afternoon sun until sunset.

Yuuri had already seen it, and Victor upped the technical difficulty again, placing the quadruple hook for the first time in the second half of the program, and it was in a combination of a quadruple hook followed by a triple axel.

The main theme is the passionate string quartet, and the deep and soft resonance of the marimba.After finishing the last move, Victor got up and shook the broken ice off his skates, while shaking his head slightly.The first time we played together, the feeling was not particularly good. The original artistic conception of "melting before midnight" was like a thin veil, which was already visible but impenetrable.

Yuuri actually feels the same way, but not like Viktor himself.As far as he himself is concerned, the stricter his own judgment, the better, so sometimes he is too harsh on himself, just like his deliberate pursuit of new ideas.In Yuuri's view, after all, it is "bystanders who know". What he said, the current Victor, I don't know how much more angry and emotional than the original description of being like a god falling into the mortal world.

You know, it is a kind of beauty to stay away from the mortal world, but if one day you are infected with the smoke and dust of the world, it will be even more unforgettable.Even Yuuri, a lover and fanboy who insists on "Victor is the best and perfect", generally thinks this way.

He only roughly noticed this change, but it wasn't real, so he didn't say anything, and quietly watched Victor's training from the sidelines.

It is said that men are at their most charming when they are serious, Yuuri looked at it, and his eyes only fell on Victor.Two or three hours of training time is not long, but it is not short, Yuuri stared at the man on the ice rink, did not notice that the man had ended the practice at some point, and put [Flamebeforemidnight] steps The differences between Fazhong and [Meltbeforemidnight] have been practiced many times before kicking on the ice with one leg, relaxing the other leg hanging in the air, and sliding towards Yuuri.

And Yuuri still stared stupidly, until Victor leaned on the baffle, before he returned to his normal state, stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of his head several times, and finally let him relieve the tension machine status.

Compared with Victor, the small young man puffed his cheeks, raised his head, and looked at the man who was already smiling with some dissatisfaction, "Well, Victor, what are you doing rubbing my hair?" Yuuri's face became round , causing Victor to smile a little more happily.

"Well, Yuuri, did you forget one... oh no, several things?" Victor just leaned on the fence of the ice rink, relaxing his muscles, while resting and persuading.

"Huh? Forgot what?" Apparently, the little pig hadn't realized what Victor was referring to.

Viktor turned around and grabbed Yuuri, and started to rock him back and forth, "Yuuri! Have you really forgotten?" He shook enough before letting go of Yuuri who was staring at gold stars, and Yuuri hadn't regained his balance yet Feeling, I heard the man's more bitter voice, "Last time, and the last time, Yuuri poked my hair so many times! Why can't you rub Yuuri's hair?"

Obviously Victor said this on purpose, but after thinking about it seriously, Yuuri felt that what Victor said was very reasonable, and then nodded thoughtfully, "It seems so! But when Victor's hair twitches, it feels like a poke It's really good!" Seeing Victor take the skate cover from his hand and step out of the ice rink after putting it on, the black-haired young man took the initiative to approach the silver-haired man.

"Then let Victor touch it again! Is this okay?" Victor heard the furry and dark-haired owner in front of him say this.

After that, he continued to rub Yuuri's head several times without hesitation, "Yuuri is so good!"

well!Yuuri is good at everything, just goofy and cute.In today's terms, it's cute.His current small appearance made Victor wish he could hide him directly at home, preferably not to be seen by anyone.

It is also true, if a certain "tiger on ice" sees the two of them now, they will fold their arms or cross their hips, raise their heads and click their tongues, and then they will complain, "You two, grandpa, what are you doing?" Started to play hooligans again, and pigs, so they were eaten to death? Let this hooligan buy it and count the money for others?"

Well, on the face of a 15-year-old young man like Yuri, we can actually see an expression called "Hate iron but not steel".

But now, the little wild cat that grinds its claws every day is not in the ice rink, so Victor hugged Yuuri over his shoulders to the waiting room as if no one else was there.As professional players, Victor and the others don't practice for a long time every day like laymen think.On the contrary, they generally don't allow their exercise to exceed four hours, and most athletes control it within three hours.

Of course, this is under normal circumstances. If Victor was eager to recover as soon as possible a while ago, or if something happened temporarily and the program needs to be changed when the time is very tight, then it is another matter.Fortunately, Victor has finished his rehabilitation, and it was only a little after five when he and Yuuri walked out of the baroque building where the ice rink was located side by side.

But we must not forget that this is St. Petersburg at [-] degrees north latitude after all. It is not too late at this time. When the gate is opened, there is already an afterglow of orange-red light on the distant horizon.

The setting sun is slowly blurring from the slightly sinking blue sky above the head, stirring up a warm light in the distance of sight.This kind of oil painting gradually changes layer by layer, forming a crimson halo on the horizon, faintly flowing with light and shadow.

"Does Yuuri have any plans?" Victor asked the young man beside him in a gentle tone.When he looked at Yuuri, his smile was gentle and soft, obviously in a very good mood.

Yuuri shook his head, it seemed that Victor came up with another idea, Yuuri already knew enough about Victor's imagination and whimsy, "No, is there anything Victor wants to do?" He didn't Holding Victor's hand, but always following Victor's side, the two slowly swayed home.

"Let me think, Yuuri!" Viktor walked forward with his arms outstretched.Suddenly, before taking a few steps, he stopped abruptly, like that time on Las Ramblas in Barcelona, ​​turned half a circle on one foot, and the whole person appeared in front of Yuuri, "Yuuri! Let's cook a meal by ourselves Right?" The silver-haired man spread his hands with a look of great anticipation.

Dazed for a moment, Yuuri obviously didn't believe what he heard, "Victor? You said...you mean make your own food?" The young man stopped in his tracks and widened his brown eyes.On this issue, to be honest, Yuuri feels that it is not at all possible for the two of them to fulfill their wish.Take him as an example, although he lived alone in Detroit for five years, most of the time he was served by the nutritionist from Celestino's coaching team. In other words, Yuuri and Phichit only had to think about it Just go and eat, don't worry about making food for yourself at all.

When he returned to Hasetsu, he could eat the food made by his mother as soon as he returned home after training every day, without having to cook it himself.It's just that I am occasionally pulled by my mother to help me, that is, I can do whatever my mother tells me to do.

Not to mention Victor, Yuuri has never seen him cook a meal by himself!Although the fried pork cutlet rice bowl is really delicious, but Victor's speed and graceful ability to destroy quickly make Yuuri feel that this man probably can't help but steal the ingredients.

Yuuri turned off the theater in his head, only to see Victor wink at him expectantly.Well, putting aside doubts about whether he and Viktor will be able to do it successfully, Yuuri has to admit that he is still looking forward to trying such a heartwarming activity.Yuuri would never admit that he was defeated by this serious, gentle and polite man and his cute wink with a heart-shaped mouth.

He obediently agreed to the man's proposal, and followed the man who hadn't retracted his smile from the beginning to the nearby market.

In fact, Yuuri is still too modest to say this, because the Utopia Katsuo is driving at home, so before leaving the house to go out alone, when helping Hiroko, he still practiced various basic skills, almost able to chop vegetables and handle pots.However, according to Yuuri's temperament, modesty has become a habit, and I am afraid that five points will be abruptly reduced to three points by him.

Because of this situation, Yuuri has already started to think, should he call his mother and ask her to help sort out a few recipes?For some western food, I guess you have to look it up online, right?

"Victor, so, what kind of food do you want to eat?" Yuuri asked the man who walked away happily and easily because he was satisfied that he had achieved his goal.Because Yuuri is really not familiar with Russian food, even after staying in this ice and snow country for three full months, he still doesn't know how to cook food.It seems that they can only pin their hopes on the recipes. The young man who only knows some basic cooking skills but has no idea of ​​the order, proportion of ingredients, and heat simply asks Victor to order some.Anyway, it’s all like this, it doesn’t make any difference if there is more or less!

Victor's footsteps slowed down a bit, apparently starting to think.Yuuri swallowed back what he was about to say.However, what he didn't expect at all was that the facts were just the opposite of his brain supplementation activities.

After all, Victor has lived alone for so many years!Yuuri, you haven’t seen people cook, isn’t it because for a Slavic man who can only use potatoes, eggs and salad as food for a long time because of the dietitian’s order, he can eat Hasezu’s This kind of food, which is only possible to eat in a foreign country, is so delicious that it makes you have such a terrible misunderstanding?

Like tonkatsu rice bowl, miso soup, and other things, Victor said, it is god-like food!

So of course, Victor is just enjoying the food!

Otherwise, when he is on vacation, or when he refuses the dietitian's catering, how can this man keep himself alive without cooking?Yuuri was completely unaware of this.

He was still thinking about finding recipes until he stepped into the market with Victor.And the man who had been thinking all the way quietly pulled Yuuri's hand, as if he had figured out the answer.
