"Wei Yong" You are the Hua of Twilight Ice

At this moment, the Katsuki family, the Nishigun family, and Teacher Minako who were far away in Japan were staying up all night watching the live broadcast.On the one hand, it's because of a certain family's ice fan attribute and someone's nympho attribute, and on the other hand, it's also because of Victor and Yuuri's matter.Especially after knowing the conversation between Victor and Yuko Nishi-gun, although the elders were skeptical, they still inevitably paid more attention.

Even if their hearts were inevitably biased towards Yuuri, two elders like the Katsuki and his wife who had always liked Victor were still worried about Victor who hadn't heard from him for so long, let alone Yuko who had Victor as his idol.Subconsciously, she felt that something must have happened to Victor.Otherwise, according to the state that Victor wished to stick to Yuuri for 86400 seconds every day, he would suddenly leave without saying goodbye, and no one knew where he went. If there were no accidents, it would be called a strange thing.

After she said this, the phenomenon of staying up all night watching the live broadcast just mentioned appeared. They all wanted to see what kind of situation Victor is now, even seeing a little sign is better than not knowing anything. A lot.

"Hey, Victor is here!" It was Yuko's voice.She, her husband and three daughters have watched the game seriously from the beginning.

When Minako and Mari complained about "Sure enough, he is such a man", the three sisters Soragiru and Ruirirupu yelled childishly. "Mom! Mom! Victor's smile is so strange, it's not the same as when we were here!" This sentence was not taken seriously at the first time, and Xijun signaled the three daughters to keep quiet.

Hearing the title of the free skating song on the radio, several people were stunned for a moment. They were worried about Yuuri before, except for Yuko's family, they didn't pay much attention to it. Now thinking of Victor's paradox a few months ago Ins, I feel...

"Maybe, something really happened to Xiao Wei!" Mrs. Hiroko looked at Victor performing on the TV screen, and suddenly sighed. "Xiao Wei is the one who hides all bad things in his heart. At the beginning...he didn't tell Yuuri..."

Toshio Katsuo patted his wife on the shoulder helplessly, and when Minako-sensei and Mari were about to explode, he interjected in time, "Forget it, let the children solve their own affairs!" Seeing Victor's smile after winning the championship, Minako, the daughter who was even more furious, said, "We are all getting older, our whole life has been so long, and I don't know how many guests we have met in Utopia... It can be seen that Xiao Wei is not like that people!"

"That's right, it's a test," Hiroko said as well.At first, she and Toshio were also shocked and angry, but after reassuring Yuuri and sending him to the plane, they calmed down.Having opened the hot spring hotel for so many years, it can be said that it has seen countless people, and the Katsuki and his wife believe that they are not mistaken about Victor.But what happened in it, only Victor knows.

It wasn't until that day that he brought up the abnormality that had appeared in Victor's body and was passed by himself, and then he faintly felt that Victor might have some difficulties.After thinking about it, the couple stopped complaining about Victor so much. Apart from comforting their friends and daughter who cared about their son, they were actually a little worried.It's because Yuuri and Victor's relationship can survive the storm, and it's also because Victor doesn't seem to be as healthy as he looks.

It was quiet for a while, and no one said anything.After Victor held the bouquet in a somewhat dispirited manner, left the ice rink, and turned off the TV, Sorasuke grabbed Yuko's clothes and yelled, "Mom! We read it right, I guarantee it! I guarantee it! Victor has some You look unhappy!"

Yuko was stunned, and she could see this too, but it was because she was Victor's ice fan and also Victor's direct listener back then, that she felt this way.But even the child can see it, so it's either because the child's eyes are the purest, or because Victor really...

It was Hiroko who broke everyone's thinking, "He never smiled like this when he was at home before, he was always very relaxed, with such an expression... He obviously didn't want to laugh, and felt that Xiao Wei was very sad today."

But since Liv had spoken and let Yuuri and Victor solve it by themselves, they didn't say anything more.

When they turned off the TV and said this again, the protagonist of their topic, Victor, had already avoided the reporter and got into an unremarkable Volvo at the back of the ice rink. Unexpectedly, the driver in the driver's seat turned out to be Butler Andre .

Probably because the media workers in Europe are too good, and only this kind of American coupe, which can only be regarded as a mid-range price, can quietly disappear from the crowd.Now for Victor, the most troublesome thing is how to get over the side effects that he doesn't know what's going on, and even the time can't be predicted.It was not mentioned in the ancient books of the blood race, and it was not mentioned in detail when the ancestor bestowed the blood pendant.It can't be said that this is the so-called test and price!

Victor thought so.

That's why Hosenfell and Molos told him to go back to St. Petersburg immediately after the game, and Andrei came to pick Victor up in person.

The silver-haired man was sitting in the back of the car, chatting with Andre calmly, as if he couldn't tell whether he was happy or what.If there was anything to cheer him up, it was the return to St. Petersburg.Although until he can completely control his instinct, he will have to keep trying to hide it from Yuuri at any cost.But Yuuri is in St. Petersburg, which seems like a pretty good thing to think about now, compared to not being in the same city.

So, in essence, Victor is still the one who makes himself think optimistically no matter how sad he is!

Just like the days when Hasezu was ignored by Yuuri, only in Barcelona, ​​he really cried.I really don't know how the two contradictory attributes of optimism, gentleness and sensitivity and love to cry come together in such a mature and attractive man.

This point in the future will make Yuuri completely puzzled.

The future is too long, let's just talk about the present.Victor was on the earliest flight he could catch that night.The air tickets had been bought a long time ago. Although it was the earliest flight within the scope of conditions, when Victor returned to Nikiforov Castle, it was almost early morning.

When Victor entered the scope of the castle, he heard music coming from the main hall.Looking up, it turned out that Hosenfell was playing the piano by the floor-to-ceiling windows.Unlike Victor who had just transformed, Hosenfell was a natural born blood, and Molos had lived with him for hundreds of years, so he was naturally used to this way of life, where he only had to rest during the day.Night is the time for activities.In addition, almost every conductor knows several instruments, so it might be a good choice to play Bazzini's "Dance of the Elves" when Victor returns.

"Hosen," Victor no longer called Uncle Hosenfell as he used to when he was a child. This is what Hosenfell said. He said that since Vicia is an adult man, he doesn't have to act like a child anymore. call yourself.

He smiled again at Moros who just came out of the cooking room.

Molos put down the plate in his hand, clapped his hands and walked towards them, "Victor is finally back, come and eat some of this, the mature filet, I guess I haven't eaten it before!" He dragged Victor directly He went to wash his hands, while still saying, "This is a special way of eating for the vampires, and it is generally not just made for ordinary people to eat."

To be honest, Victor didn't feel that there was anything to celebrate, but he still sat in his seat obediently.Helping Moros put the other plates on the table, Hosenfell brought a bottle of deer blood that had been sealed before, and seemed to have guessed what Victor was thinking.He also sat between Molos and Victor when Andrei wiped his hands very gracefully.

"I think, I can probably understand your feelings!" Hosenfell patted him on the shoulder twice, "But Wei Qia, you still have half a year, maybe the time will be shorter. Don't tense yourself all the time, If this is the case, even the spring will break." The man with long black hair looked at Victor with relaxed but serious eyes, and his tone made people feel a kind of serious concern from nowhere.

"Relax properly, even if it's for what you want, forget about other things temporarily, and you should let yourself breathe a sigh of relief after winning the championship!" The mature blood marquis filled four glasses with bright red liquid, and added After drinking a quarter of the red wine, he looked up again into Victor's blue eyes, which contained encouragement. "Haven't you eaten for days?"

Victor heard Hosenfell ask this.

Of course he knew that what Hosenfell meant by eating was drinking blood, because as a half-blood, he could eat human food just like his pure-blood counterparts, and even the food that a pure-blood could accept would allow him to survive.But the price of such benefits and the power far higher than that of pure blood of the same generation is that his ability to maintain and improve his dependence on blood will also be higher than that of pure blood blood.It's only fair that there's a gain and a loss.

Hearing Hosenfell's words, Victor frowned slightly, and it didn't take long for him to relax again.Knowing that he had figured it out for a while, Hosenfell held up the tall glass, "Just understand, let's eat quickly, Molos has been the most passionate about cooking for hundreds of years..."

"Michelin-starred chefs are incomparable!" Molos himself added such a sentence of praise for himself, which attracted Hosenfell, who had smiled a little and looked not so calm, and handed him a "you are so thick-skinned" out of the corner of his eye. " look.

But having said that, what Moros said is really not wrong.Because he wanted to talk to Victor about other topics for a laugh, Moros put on an "I surrender" posture and began to tell him stories.

Only then did Victor know that Molos's main job was to be a chef.And when Molos was still a teenager, when he was studying in the university city of Heidelberg, he inherited his parents' legacy. The Chevalier Hotel - the oldest hotel restaurant in Heidelberg - was already the youngest chef in the whole city. .A boy who is born lively and cheerful can instantly become the calmest when facing the cooking table.

At that time, Germany, or even the whole of Europe, was not like it is now, where blood clans and trade unions compromised with each other, and they could even choose both ways for First Embrace without violating the will of mankind.Shrouded in the Enlightenment, every day people are identified as evil vampires, and then burned alive by so-called rational people.Fortunately, this wave has not spread to this historic university town.

Because students always put their studies first, this boy from a small noble family didn't have much time to cook a meal for himself except for the time he spent studying cooking skills every day.

Molos remembered the rare day when he had time to cook for himself. It was an April night.The tall and handsome man staggered into Molos' room when there were no pedestrians on the street.

At this moment, before Moros even had time to pick up the freshly cooked carp in wine, the man clasped his shoulders before he could react.When the irresistible pain came from the neck, Moros saw only a pair of blood-red eyes, and was completely immersed in the feeling of pain and desire.

The man finally regained consciousness after he felt in a daze that half of the blood in his body was about to flow out, "I'm sorry!" His eyes were pale gray, as if the blood red just now was an illusion.As he said that, he turned his head sideways and bit his wrist, hiding his fangs tearing open the wound, and moved to the mouth of Moros, who was almost unconscious, "You, drink it, I was injured, I couldn't control it... ..."

When Molos regained consciousness again, he found himself lying on the bed, the liquid in the cup beside the bed almost attracted all his attention, while the man was sitting not far away with a serious expression and self-blame on the stool.

"Sorry, I'm Hosenfell, I turned you into a vampire without authorization, that is... a vampire... It's my fault for not holding back, but... I don't want you to die..." At that time, Hosenfell and Humans have not lived together for a long time, and they are still a man who is not good at words.

Moros is very strange until now, why the first thing he thought of was the sad and aggrieved expression of this man, and then he was suddenly forced to change the anger of the species.After Hosenfell managed to calm him who was about to go berserk, thinking that he had no worries about relatives anyway, he finally accepted this reality.Two people ate cold carp in wine.

After that, until now, he has spent hundreds of years studying various foods, and after Hosenfell became his lover, he even searched for all kinds of recipes for him from all over the world. No wonder the craftsmanship of those so-called few-star chefs is not enough to show in front of Moros.

"That's it, don't say any more, in front of you is a person who is about to lose love!" Victor mocked himself and glared at a certain two people who had lived longer than he did not know how many years.Seeing that Victor was ready for a joke, Hosenfell knew the story would work, at least for a day.So he stopped talking and bowed his head to eat.

A mature filet also has a name called TENDERLOIN. As Moros said, this is probably the exclusive maturity of the blood race in most cases. The most tender meat on the calf's tenderloin is fresh and tender, with almost no fat .The front and back sides are heated on a high-temperature iron plate for about half a minute, the moisture inside the steak is firmly locked, and the cooked meat on the outside is topped with a sauce prepared with tender beef blood.

When the knife was cut across, the fresh beef inside, which changed from pink to bright red, revealed its true colors and oozes blood.The original meat aroma and the fresh blood aroma of herbivores together, the taste is very layered when cooked on the outside and tender on the inside. After Victor put down the tarpaulin, he was amazed at the first bite.But he still followed the etiquette and opened his eyes wide after putting the last sip of soup between his lips, "Вкусио!"

Seeing that Victor started to speak Russian words inadvertently, Hosenfell and Molos looked at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes at the same time.Now it seems that even if you have to mention that important matter later, Victor will not be in a bad mood!They can't disclose any information on Yuuri's side, so they can only comfort Victor in this way.

But fortunately, this can be regarded as a successful start, and the next thing is very important.

"Vicia, have you ever thought about how to arrange the ten days before the next competition? About practice, and the side effects of the blood of the ancestors, are you ready?" Hosenfell moved himself in front of Victor After arriving on the sofa, she sat down beside him and asked him like this.

What Hosenfell asked was actually very uncertain.These words should have been asked by the housekeeper Andre who is most familiar with the situation, but Andre, who is serious and serious, insisted that he was just a housekeeper. For such a serious topic, it is more appropriate for Hosenfell to bring it up.Later, when Victor knew Uncle Andre's words, his expression was very helpless.

But he didn't know it yet, thinking of this somewhat clueless matter, his fingers rested on his chin out of habit.

The silver-haired man lowered his head slightly in thought, and tapped lightly on the transparent surface of the coffee table with his other hand.His bangs were longer than before, but instead of being tied up, they cast a shadow over his face.

Victor thought about it for a long time, and no one interrupted his thoughts.

"Before the side effects appear, it should be the same as the previous arrangement!" Victor refers to the "previous arrangement" here, which is the schedule of learning various skills of the blood race during the day and practicing skating at night before this sub-station. "Since you don't know how long it will take to respond, don't waste the previous time!"

He deliberately said this in a relaxed tone.But Victor also knew that he had to hurry up. According to the worst scenario, this so-called side effect might last for a week. In this case, the practice time would be less than ten days.You can see Yuuri in the next game, you still have to try your best to improve!Even if it's for Yuuri to see himself as a target to surpass.

Therefore, such an arrangement can almost be said to have been carefully considered by Victor over and over again.

He paused, and then began to explain his thoughts to the few people who were going to advise him to recharge his energy to prepare for the situation.

"Grandfather said in his notes back then that the blood of the ancestors is a reward, not a punishment." Victor suddenly mentioned this sentence. "The person my grandfather mentioned is probably the old duke, and also... grandfather's... father!" He really didn't want to call that high-ranking nobleman his great-grandfather. Thinking of the past between his grandfather and the grandfather he had never met, Victor felt very sad. It's hard to have a good impression of that authoritarian person.

Probably seeing the unfinished emotions in Victor's words, Andre still couldn't hold back and sighed. His Majesty Cyril was not wrong at the beginning. After seeing everything that happened, he would still greet Victor, yes Wei Qia, whom they all cherished in their hearts, had an irreversible impact.Victor's childishness is less and less revealed in front of people like himself, that is, when he thinks of that child, he hesitates to practice his previous appearance and expression.Andre didn't know whether such Victor was good or not.

But he didn't have time to think deeply, and his attention was drawn to what Victor said.Victor put his dissatisfaction with the so-called great-grandfather out of his mind for a while, sorted out his thoughts a little, and then said again, "Since the purpose of the blood bestowed by the great-grandfather can be found in that person's library, it proves a problem. It must not be a punishment or an embarrassment." The young man put his long silver hair behind his head, and a thoughtful look flashed from his blue eyes.

"Since the first ancestor pointed out this path to my grandfather, grandpa, and me, in his capacity, it will definitely not be harmful to me. Of course, I don't think it will be so easy..." Victor considered After a while, he felt that the reason why this side effect was not recorded in the classics was probably because no one had obtained this thing not long before him!

Victor thinks that this should be some kind of price, maybe it is to overdraw the power for a certain period of time in advance, so as to block his desire for blood.

Hosenfell nodded, "According to the logic, this is correct, but the ancestor is probably just pointing out a feasible method. You will probably be... very weak during that time! You must have experienced it in the past half a year. , When you are weak, you need a lot of blood, otherwise it will be absolutely difficult to get over it." His expression was a little serious, as if hesitating for something.But soon Hosenfell continued, "The consequences caused by the lack of strength, even a half-blood like Vicka, who has an advantage in strength, cannot avoid it!"

"So, as my Chinese friend said, powerful people usually leave two choices when giving directions," Molos snapped his fingers, seeming to understand the problem, " This is the so-called 'gate of life' and 'gate of death'!"

He scratched his head when he saw Victor turned his head to look at him, not at all like the image of the young chef he portrayed externally, "Well, I don't really understand, there are probably two choices, and you can only choose the right one. It means to solve the problem safely." Then Moros patted his head violently, "For example, the main purpose of His Majesty Cyril's writing the blood of the ancestors in his notes is to help you temporarily suppress your desires. It can make your desire for blood disappear faster, so I think what he told Andre that the side effects will occur faster and faster may be the effect of blood, that is, the degree of relief will become more and more Small, in the end I can only survive on my own.”

Having said that, he and Hosenfell exchanged glances, then looked at Victor, and said in a solemn tone that had never been seen before: "If you make it through, you will be successful, and you can go back and find your little boyfriend; if you can't make it In the past, there would probably be dependence on blood, withdrawal phenomena or something, you should understand."

Victor tightened his palms, and after 2 minutes, he nodded in response.

But at this time, none of them thought of a problem.After you survive by yourself, your physical condition, the remaining strength in the seed, and your emotions are all important elements that can affect whether you can recover.Any problem in any aspect may lead to accidents.Most importantly, prolonged lack of food is also likely to lead to deep sleep.

Although the matter of the ancestor bestowing blood has never happened before, but the consequences of falling into a deep sleep, no matter what the reason, are always irreversible until the root cause of the cause is found and resolved.In other words, if this is the case, the only way to untie the bell is to keep looking for a way to tie the bell.

But as for the saying in Japanese mythology that all words can be cursed will really come true, this kind of thing is not what they can expect now.After all, although many myths and legends are lost, the wisdom of the ancestors cannot be underestimated no matter what.

But at this moment, Victor didn't have time to think about it, since it had already started, he had to stick to it no matter what.Discussing these now is just a psychological preparation.

And now that these are off-topic, it has not yet reached the point where these issues need to be considered.

Victor only rested for less than a day. On that day, when the moonlight shrouded the last streets of St. Petersburg, he drove to the ice rink as if he couldn’t wait for anything. Since returning to the castle, Victor’s means of transportation has changed again. Back to the Japanese Infiniti Q90.

Now if Coach Yakov sees or hears about Viktor's desperate state in daily training, he will doubt whether this is the talented and lazy Russian ace.His whole body is tense now, like the strings of a violin that are tightly stretched. Friends who know him probably think that this person has changed the core!

However, all of this is unimportant, and Victor began to live a regular life day after day as before.On the night he got off the plane, he approached the gate of the ice rink, which still had some residual heat, before it had had time to become icy cold in the harsh winter winds of St. Petersburg.

It was easy to distinguish the temperature and breath that belonged to Yuuri, Victor hid his figure in the shadow of the pillar beside the door, leaned against the window sill and stood quietly, as if he was missing something.He waited until the familiar atmosphere dissipated completely, and when the remaining warmth on the doorknob was swept away by the falling snowflakes and melted into the air, he shook off the falling snow on his coat as if nothing had happened, and pushed it away. through that door.

Inside the door, there is no cold air like outside. In comparison, it is like two worlds.But this is no different for Victor.
