"Wei Yong" You are the Hua of Twilight Ice

By the time Yuuri is wide awake, Victor has rinsed his hair out bit by bit.Seeing Yuuri waking up, his face was flushed and he wanted to grab the shower, he snorted softly, then teased Yuuri who was no longer confused for a while, and then he fulfilled his request and handed the shower to Yuuri's hand.

After cleaning himself from top to bottom, Yuuri finally realizes what's going on.Take a bath together, take a bath with Victor... Although every time after that, he knows that it must be Victor who washes himself who is so tired and doesn't know anything, but in this sober situation, it is really ...I'm so sorry!He turned his head and asked Victor with a blush on his face, "Vitnika, do you want to wash your hair?"

The man's waist-length silver hair floated on the water, and under the light from the ceiling of the bathroom, there were strands of dazzling brilliance.

"Okay, I really like the service from Yuuri!" Victor climbed out of the bath generously, then climbed back in, and sat obediently in front of Yuuri.Even though he is a half-blood, he doesn't need to wash and rinse like a human, but Yuuri's initiative is rare to see, and the warm water is really very comfortable.

When grabbing Victor's hair, Yuuri felt the beauty of Victor's silver hair up close.Even now that Victor is not in a very good condition, he still shines brilliantly.

After the shower, Viktor packs Yuuri into their bed, lets him rest for a while, and then goes to cook himself.When he came again to wake Yuuri up for dinner, the black-haired young man woke up as if he had forgotten something important, and his eyes widened, "Vitnika, the dishes for you...haven't been cooked yet..."

Viktor was a little touched, he shook his head and signaled Yuuri not to care, "It's okay, Yuuri is very tired today! So don't worry about these things." The silver-haired man stroked Yuuri's hair, "My question It's not a day or two, it doesn't matter if I miss this time." But he talked for a long time before Yuuri gave up insisting and had a good meal.

In this way, more than half a month passed quickly, and not long after the training ended one afternoon, the new arrangement for the sub-station was announced.

"Great, you don't need to be separated from Yuuri!" Victor hugged Yuuri on one side after reading the group list, and then put his phone in front of Yuuri's eyes. "Hey, Yuuri, look, we can go to both the French station and the Canadian station together."

But obviously, Yuuri thought of other things besides being happy, "In this case... the competition is too fierce..."

"It's okay, Yuuri just wants to compete with me?" Victor didn't care about this question at all.

Hearing what Victor said, Yuuri nodded and continued to look at the group arrangement. "Huh? Chris, and Phichit can be met!" His tone revealed uncontrollable joy. "I don't know what happened to Phichit and Lee Seung Gil..."

"Vitnica, do you feel uncomfortable in a place with many people?" Yuuri has always been a good boy who asks when he doesn't understand.

Regarding this question, Victor thought for a while, "It will be uncomfortable at first, like the feeling of thirst after a long time in the hot sun, but during the few minutes of the real game, you won't feel anything." Then, he He added a few more words, "If Hosenfell and the others haven't contacted us, nothing will happen. Well, don't enter the infield before the game. It would be better to say something to distract your attention."

Seeing Yuuri staring at him, Victor added, "Yuuri, don't worry about me, those smells don't affect me anymore." After a year and a half, Victor has gotten used to being in public To control the desire, in the past few months, his body has also been re-accepting blood at a very slow speed, although it is only Yuuri's, it is also getting better.Yuuri also knew that he had nothing to worry about.

He turned around and took out the iced black tea from the refrigerator, and poured a few drops of blood into it.Now, Yuuri has gradually added a little more blood to Victor, and it seems that the step-by-step and "boiling the frog" method is indeed useful.

As for why the black tea is put in the refrigerator, it is because even if Victor's ability is the ability to control ice, he can't use Victor as a refrigerator all the time!Otherwise, Victor wouldn't want to do anything else.

Yuuri watched Victor drink the iced black tea without any discomfort, and he breathed a sigh of relief boldly.He also knew that, like anorexia, Victor's resistance to blood would not be cured in a short while, and Yuuri was ready for a long-term battle.

The short-term task now, though, is the Grand Prix, which starts at the end of this month.Because they competed at the same time, they put Makaqin in the castle of Victor's family, under the care of Tosirill and Yefim.And this time, Makachin seemed to have left Vi, who had been floating next to Yuuri, as well.

The French leg of this Grand Prix was held in Marseille, and Yuuri and Victor came to this city two days earlier.Although, Yuuri is no longer so nervous that he will use sightseeing to relax his mind, but they still plan to set aside two days to have fun.

Yuuri thinks he'll never get over jet lag so quickly in his life.This time, even though the flight was only less than two hours, he still slept in the dark on the plane. When he arrived at the hotel, he didn't even have time to take off his coat, so he lay down on the bed.After all, Marseille and St. Petersburg were less than three time zones apart, so Victor let him sleep for a few hours.It was after seven o'clock local time that a certain young man who had turned into Sleeping Beauty was woken up.

Victor took Yuuri to the Old Port of Marseilles.

This is the real central area of ​​Marseille. The lively fish market every morning has long been replaced by the commercial prosperity of the meal time, but you can still feel the atmosphere from the Louis XIV era from the St. John's Castle and St. Nicholas Castle on the left and right. Emotions that belong to history.Although, compared with the huge buildings on both sides of it, this port looks too young.It still hasn't even passed its 70th birthday.But the locals still like to call it "Old Port", maybe that's why.

Walking along the shore of the Mediterranean Sea, the night sea breeze blows head-on, quickly blowing away Yuuri's drowsiness.The deep blue water, the white boats returning to the shore in the distance, and the lights of thousands of houses dyed by the arrival of night... Yuuri and Victor glanced at each other, and they could feel that this was an atmosphere dominated by the ocean.

"Yuuri, I checked the guide, it said the scenery on the North Shore is very good, and there are special food!" Victor threw a wink at Yuuri.Although Victor tied up his hair and wore a thin scarf in order to prevent being recognized by others, Yuuri still felt that the lethality of his wink was too great.

Yuuri felt a little hungry when he followed Victor to the North Shore, and sat down in a fairly old diner. "Vitnika..." Before he finished speaking, his stomach groaned twice.

"Hey, is Yuuri hungry too?" Victor's eyes were shining, "Then let's try the fish soup here, shall we?"

Well, how could Yuuri not nod?

The full name of fish soup is "Marseille fish soup". It was originally a dish stewed by local fishermen at will a long time ago.Although it has spread to the entire Provence region over the years, it is still the most authentic in Marseille.

As soon as Victor saw the food appear, he happily sat up straight, leaning forward slightly, as if eager to see the delicious food.Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, "Yuuri, just now I saw that there was anisette sold over there, Yuuri, do you want it?"

The black-haired young man hurriedly waved his hand. He knew that, as a Slav, Victor, now a non-human species, had no resistance to things like wine.

In Japan, it’s not that people don’t drink alcohol. For example, Yuuri’s family’s hot spring hotel produces the famous local wine “Invitation to the Demon World”. However, Yuuri, who knows what will happen to him if he gets drunk, still keeps a respectful distance from this drink.Soon, the silver-haired man came back with a glass of wine, and another small glass in his hand.

"I'm back with Yuuri, come and taste a little bit, it's very delicious!" Victor said to Yuuri.

At Yuuri's urging, he only poured a small amount for Yuuri, and then took a long gulp happily from the cup.

Although it was the end of October, Victor, who was not afraid of the cold at all, still added several cubes of ice to the paper cup.In the south of France, in Marseille, the hometown of ouzo, it is really satisfying to drink a glass of fine wine made from fennel, licorice and spices in a small hotel on the corner.He was still sipping the wine in the glass carefully until the fish soup was brought to the table.

And the Bouillabaisse, which is also a famous product in Marseille, is fragrant. Yuuri was still holding a sip of ouzo in the small cup, and he smelled a mixture of various aromas.

He stared wide-eyed when he saw the orange color of the soup plate and the layer of mayonnaise mixed with garlic paste and saffron on the surface, as well as the Mediterranean-inspired spices such as leeks, fennel, and parsley on it.

Victor thoughtfully picked up the small bowl in front of him, and when the spoon dipped into the lower level, Yuuri realized how rich the ingredients used in this dish were.

Because Hasezu is by the sea, Yuuri also recognizes some fish, "Well, this is stonefish, eel... anglerfish... and mussels, clams and crabs?" Generally speaking, Yuuri recognizes them well, He basically recognized most of the fish and shellfish, except for three rare species of squid, bream and mullet that he did not recognize.With such rich and delicate ingredients, it is no wonder that this famous dish has such a high status in Marseille.

However, Marseille bouillabaisse can not be eaten together with fish in soup. According to the habit, it is divided into two parts when eating, namely fish soup and fish feed.This is a special western food experience, and Yuuri watched Victor, who had already done his homework, scoop out the fish soup with fresh eyes.This is equivalent to the appetizer when eating Western food.

Yuuri gently blew on the still steaming soup, and the delicate and smooth fish soup slipped into his lips and tongue. Different kinds of fish and shellfish mixed with different characteristics of delicacy challenged Yuuri's taste buds.Small pieces of toast are also particularly distinctive. "Wow!" He and Victor exclaimed almost at the same time, "It's delicious!" The two turned their heads to look at each other, and they both found the light of satisfaction in each other's eyes.

By the time the last bite of fish was eaten, it was almost nine o'clock, and Yuuri and Victor walked along the coast together.

Walking back to the hotel not far away, they went to bed early, Yuuri passed the hour difference today, and the next few days will be much more comfortable.

The next day, Victor took Yuuri and left their footprints in the Château d'If and the Fashion Museum.As the last stop, they visited the former residence of Le Corbusier.

As Victor, who graduated from St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Design, he must visit the residence of a generation of modern architects.And Yuuri because he likes whatever Victor likes.

So, two hours later, Victor came out of the master's former residence with a few hundred photos contentedly.

The next morning was open practice time, and when Viktor and Yuuri arrived at the rink, Chris and Yuri were already there.

As soon as Yuri saw the two of them, he turned away with a dark face, and Yakov also frowned.But Chris kept looking at the two of them, staring at Victor for a while, and nodding thoughtfully for a while.

After watching for a long time, Chris came to greet his old friend, "Victor! To be honest, the battle was really big a while ago, and it was because of your little pet?" He lowered his voice and teased in Victor's ear.Then he got a glare from Victor.

"Heinrich, you guys, take it back after the game, um, well..." Victor knocked off Chris's paw that was reaching for Yuuri, nodded directly to Mr. Heinrich behind him, and then took Yuuri went to warm up.

The order of their appearances is connected together, Yuri and Chris are followed by Yuri and Victor.This time Victor didn't have to avoid crowded places, he and Yuuri were talking in a low voice while stretching their legs in the lounge.

"Is there no problem with Yuuri's [I'm here waiting for you]?" Victor looked carefully at Yuuri.

The silver-haired man simply paid more attention to going on stage than himself.

Yuuri nodded, and after he stretched his legs, he went to practice on the ice with Victor.Preparing for a match with Victor is a feeling I have never had before.This season, Yakov threw back the coaching tasks that belonged to Viktor, so this time he has to work hard to prove himself, proving that Viktor is also very capable of being a good coach while being a player.

In the afternoon, the game officially kicked off, which is also the first game of this season.

"Yuuri and I will both be skating at our best, so there's no debate about coaches or competitors?" Victor smiled politely at the camera with his hands up.Yuuri looked helplessly at the smiling man who was shining, attracting countless people's attention.

By the time they walk into the rink, the game is about to start, and luckily Yuuri and Viktor are the last to go.Mr. Moroka, who was in charge of the commentary, saw the two walking side by side to the lounge at a glance.However, sitting in the commentary seat, he had to finish the pre-set commentary before he could play freely.

"The men's single short program competition is about to start. Please enter the field for practice. The practice time is 6 minutes." After repeating several languages ​​in the broadcast, Hisashi Moroka finally found a chance to speak. "Ah, teachers, students and competitors, Viktor Nikiforov and Katsuki Yuuri, came to the ice rink. The first competition was so fierce, it was really a different grand prix!"

When this sentence was finished, Viktor and Yuuri had already taken off their jackets and entered the ice rink.

"Yuuri, don't practice jumping too much, it's not good for conserving your energy!" Victor told him before starting to practice.This scene was well recorded by the camera following Zhuoka's anchor.

Soon it was time for Yuri to make an appearance.Because of the growth period, Yuri's grades and order of appearance have been affected.Perhaps Victor and the others saw Yuri every day, so they didn't think it was obvious, but in Chris's view, Yuri's changes were indeed too great.

The boy's shape has completely faded, and his hair has been cut short.His appearance has become a kind of handsomeness belonging to a Slavic man.Although the eyebrows and eyes are still a little immature, but this does not affect the screams of the fans, which almost knocked the roof off.

Well, are Russian men more attracted to fans?

This season, Yuri's show is still selected and choreographed by Lilia.The ballet master's habit of selecting music has strong classical characteristics. This time, his repertoire is "Rondo in Midsummer", which Lilia asked her friends from the former dance troupe to compose.

With better control over the developed body, Yuri's difficulty has been slightly increased.He turned sideways in the pose of a violinist bowing his bow.

The whole song is a solo violin, and Yuri still did two quadruple jumps in total for the sake of safety.

"It's really hard to be tall!" Chris sighed on the edge of the stands, and he will appear next, "By the way, Victor, you felt like nothing happened back then. How did you do it? Um?"

Victor didn't tell him the answer, the silver-haired man seemed to think seriously for a while, then spread his hands, "No way, I don't know about that either!" However, Yuuri felt that Victor should spend all his time It's used for practice, so that's why it's like this, right?In the middle of speaking, Yuri's score has been calculated.This is not a very good score, because the instability of the ice landing caused by the change of the center of gravity has a lot of influence on the calculation of the final score.But compared to last season, when he was at his peak, he was much better.

However, Yuri still seemed very dissatisfied.

"The next player to play is Christophe Giacometti from Switzerland, and the selection is [Somptueux], which is very Giacometti-style selection." The player introduction began on the radio.This "Somptueux" means "luxury" in French.

Now, Yuuri is almost immune to Chris' adult lust.But he still has to sigh, the hormones of walking are indeed very unusual.After watching Chris's performance for a while, Yuuri went back to the corridor outside the lounge to prepare his own show.When he turned around, he was not surprised to see Mr. Schultz's darkened face.

It seems that Chris is going to repeat the experience of "sultry for a while, then squeezed out afterwards" again!Yuuri even wondered if this was the love of the two of them, one willing to fight and the other willing to suffer.Or, someone is a typical example of remembering to eat but not to fight.

When Yuuri came on stage, he heard the cheers from the stands, and realized that he also had a lot of fans.He stood up in the applause of the audience, with his right hand stretched forward with his palm facing upwards, and his left hand resting on his right shoulder.This is the beginning action of the short program [I'm herewaiting for you].

At the beginning of the music, it is the soft whisper of the piano.Yuuri dropped his raised hands and began to slide with his arms casually dropped back.He slowly raised his arms flat, and the smoothness gradually turned into a bob.Next is the Yan style spinning and receiving the knife Yan style, Yuuri accelerates slightly along the side of the ice rink, and then takes off

"Very clean Axel triple axel," the narrator's voice was quite excited. "I don't know if Mr. Katsuki's coach, Victor Nikiforov, has mastered 4A, but Mr. Katsuki's 3A has also improved a lot."

After that, there was a set of step-sequences, and Yuuri's step-sequences were unparalleled, which is definitely rare in men's singles where most players pursue skills.

This season, Yuuri has also become very proficient at the backside quadruple, and he also has a new 4Lo on another quad in the show.

When it was time to choreograph the footwork, there was a flood of applause from the audience. It was another level four footwork, so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

After a set of inside hooks, Yuuri used a three-character turn to jump into the back. The ice landing in this 4Lo is still not very stable, but it is not particularly obvious.The sound of the violin in the music floated in the sky, as if it came from a very far away place.The sound of the piano echoed in a low voice, which was gentle and sad to comfort.

Come back, my beloved, don't be afraid, don't worry, behind all the pretense, there is only one undeniable truth - I still love you, just as I always have.

From the big character on the inner edge to the squatting and dragging knife, after Yuuri turned around and slid out in a swallow-style balance, he connected a set of knife-lifting swallow-style rotations to turn into butterfly turns, and then connected the combined rotation of reverse swallow-style and upright rotation, That was always on his mind.Yuuri doesn't know what he wants to say but can't say, can Victor understand that he can only express his heart over and over again.

The edge-changing curve swept across most of the ice rink, Yuuri switched feet and stepped on the ice, Choctaw stepped in, followed by a quadruple jump on the inside and then a triple axel on the outside.It was the last set of jumps in the short program, and Yuuri took off, landed, and slid out perfectly, and as he passed the entrance to the rink, he saw Victor standing there with his eyes wide open in disbelief.Is he, is he happy?Yuuri thinks so.It was at this moment that he finally decided that this time, if he could stand on the podium with Victor in the final finals, he would give Victor a surprise that would definitely make him happy.

After the last group of joint rotations, the black-haired youth faced the direction of the silver-haired man and opened his arms. This is a deformed seven-figure hand shape, which is also a hugging gesture.

"PERFECT!" Victor exclaimed, his face flushed with joy. "It's okay for Yuuri to go to the k&c area by himself, right? Such a powerful performance will definitely get a super score!" He stepped into the ice rink, and when he passed by Yuuri, he gently whispered in Yuuri's ear Such a sentence.

Yuuri smiled at Victor, "Vitnika, too!"

"Okay, Katsuki's score is 108.39 points, a very good first game of the season!" The voice of the commentator came from the radio.

At this time, Victor's performance officially began.

His performance uniform is almost the same design as last season, but the color has been adjusted.

It's still a medieval classic style shirt, but the color has changed from black to ice white. The neckline, which is longer than the long pointed collar, has a bit of the characteristics of a Windsor collar. .On the tulle-like classic dress, the upturned collar tip was trimmed with golden borders, and there was a pattern of overlapping crosses and a coat of arms that did not know what it represented.

This is actually the hallmark of the Nikiforov family.

The fins at the hem are soft and flowing, and the color of the entire tulle-like outer shirt transitions from the original translucent crimson to pure white, to a transition from blue to white.This is a texture that is completely different from burning flames, and belongs to the texture of ice and snow.Yuuri even forgot to walk down the waiting area.
