Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

In this way, once the time grows, the two will become acquainted.After all, both of them like figure skating very much, and their abilities are not bad, so they will have a lot of common topics.And... It's really nice to have a friend who is about the same age as me, has the same hobbies, and agrees with each other... It feels really good.Now that it is known that Qing Yue will go back to participate in the new season of the National Youth Figure Skating Championships, as an "old man" who has been compared all the way from the National Youth Championships, Chu Xuan will naturally dig out a lot of interesting inside information and tell Qing Yue.

For example, a certain person always performs supernormally in the short program and super abnormally in the long program.For example, when a person's rotation changes to a fixed posture, he will stagger.For example, someone who has never successfully jumped a triple-A (Axel triple axel) in a competition since he started participating in the national junior championships.For example, a certain person came with the aura hyped up by the media, but in the end he fell four times in a row, and every time his butt pier landed at different angles, and the occurrence of various personnel in the game Wait, wait, wait, embarrassment.

While Qing Yue was stunned by what Chu Xuan said, the two also started their respective preparations.Sometimes Qingyue will extend the time for dance and body training in a nearby big city, and instead go home one day later, and the two of them will find a place to skate for each other in the extra day, which can be regarded as half leisure and half entertainment , but sometimes with additional surprises.

The two would often show off and share their newfound skills and whimsy with each other.As Chu Xuan said, Qing Yue has a talent that makes people mad with envy.Sometimes he just thinks of something and tries to slide out the feeling he wants on the ice, which can make people have a new and novel feeling.

Qing Yue would tell Chu Xuan what Na Xiu said to him when he saw that Chu Xuan's technology was completed and that he had a similar defect somewhere, which made Chu Xuan think silently, and then make a new attempt.And Chu Xuan would often tell Qing Yue as a senior, what to do to be pleasing in front of the referee, and what to pay attention to when participating in official competitions.

……

Time quickly turned the page.The National Championship that year was quickly lost in the torrent of time.After learning ice for two years, 15-year-old Qingyue participated in the National Figure Skating Youth Championship for the first and only time, and won the fourth place in the country in one fell swoop.Although the halos on the heads of the three men wearing medals standing on the podium attracted almost all the attention of the media, Qing Yue, as a newcomer who won the fourth place in the country for the first time in the competition, still attracted the attention of some media. focus on.

But it is precisely this that makes many remarks unfavorable to Qingyue spread in a small area.

"genius?fraud? 》——such a report appeared in a small corner of a publication related to figure skating.

No one believed that a beginner who had only learned figure skating for two years could skate so well, and no one believed that someone who started figure skating at the age of 13 could skate so well.I don't even believe that a person who has only studied for two years can complete such a high-quality 3A (Axel triple axel) in an official competition.

That year, the top three in the National Youth Championship all had lingering fears about Qing Yue's appearance.As if he appeared out of nowhere, he disrupted all their plans and made a mess of their predictions about the game situation.A lot of people are messed up because of this.

Maybe Qingyue made some small mistakes because of his nervousness when he participated in the competition for the first time. In terms of footwork, he also made obvious mistakes in using the blade.But anyone can tell at a glance that he is well trained and...his future in figure skating is limitless.He lost a lot of points in the short program, but in the middle and late part of the long program, he obviously found his status gradually, and jumped out an amazing combo, chasing the score to the level that made the top three places in his pocket. The point of panic.

Those in the youth group obviously felt that Qingyue was too scary, so they sent another Qingyue after Chu Xuan was sent away.Of course, this is not a very pleasant thing.But fortunately, Qing Yue will participate in the adult competition next year because he will be 16 years old.This came as a relief to many.

This year, Chu Xuan entered the adult group of the Figure Skating National Championships and lost the medal by a hair.

A few weeks later, Chu Xuan saw the report in an inconspicuous position by chance.He grabbed the publication abruptly, looked at the report in amazement, and read it softly.When he finished reading the report, he got up from the sofa and took a long walk around his room.Memories related to Qingyue came to mind, from their first acquaintance to the scenes of preparing for battle together flashed quickly...

He had always thought that Qing Yue's progress at that stage was astonishingly fast, but he always had a faint feeling...something seemed wrong.It turned out that... when they first met, the slender boy who jumped out of such an unforgettable double jump... was actually a one-and-a-half year old figure skating...beginner?

Such a fact is obviously difficult to be accepted by Chu Xuan, who has been on the ice since the age of four and has been skating almost throughout his childhood.

Having known Qing Yue for so long, Chu Xuan obviously didn't think that Qing Yue would be a person who lied about such things because of vanity.But... if he wasn't lying, then he was horrible.

However, Qing Yue was unaware of Chu Xuan's shock at this time.After that game, his life was back in the small town again.Since most of the people around Qingyue who followed Chu Xuan knew about this handsome boy on the ice because of Chu Xuan's excellent female manager's successful operations, they didn't have that high acquaintance with figure skating itself. understanding.Since Chu Xuan jumped out of the youth group and entered the adult group competition, they naturally turned all their attention to the adult group competition in the National Championship.

As for the youth competition that Qingyue participated in?Naturally, they ignored it.The controversy about Qingyue is also passed on in a small range.That publication is a professional publication on figure skating. Even if many people buy it, they will ignore the report that only appears in a small corner.

But...an unexpected person found out.That person was Le Sheng who had left long ago and had no contact with Qing Yue since then.Of course he knew that figure skating was a sport that the sooner he started learning, the better he would be able to achieve. He had never seen Qing Yue skating, and of course he never thought that Qing Yue would make great achievements in figure skating.

This year, Bi Qing was three years older, and he had been fighting around since he was 17. Finally, a year later, he won a card in the snowboard event with older players.My coach, who is always stern and reticent, seems to be in a good mood.But he felt... that seemed to be the medal he should have won, and even... just winning the medal in Xishu was far from enough.

Because the Xishu snowboard team is too weak, they only have one basic place in the World Championships.In other words...the Snow Association can only send the annual snowboarding champion to the World Championships, until...someone who represented Xishu to participate in the World Championships one year won the tenth place or less in this event.In that way, they will have two places to participate in the World Championships in the coming year.If the person representing Xishu to participate in the World Championships wins the championship in one fell swoop, then they will have three places to participate in the World Championships next year.

So he knew he needed to do much more than that.Friends are all happy for him and congratulating him, but only he knows... What he has done this year is far from enough...

He didn't stay to join the celebration banquet with everyone, nor did he celebrate with his coaching staff or his teammates who were representatives of the same region. Instead, he returned to the hotel provided by the organizer alone.For some reason, he seemed to clearly remember that the youth figure skating finals would be this afternoon.So he turned on the TV.But he was shocked to find that... Qing Yue's name suddenly appeared in the final list.

I thought it was just a duplicate name, nervously holding the remote control panel, sitting stiffly on the bed and waiting anxiously, but finally saw that familiar yet unfamiliar face.

At that moment, he was stunned.

The picture of parting is still vivid.He clearly remembered that Qing Yue was wearing a shirt with a silver pattern that day, he clearly remembered...the strange smile on Qing Yue's face that night, he also remembered the last words he said to him and his back when he left, and even more remembered them The hurtful words I said to him when I fell out.

[Then you're trying to tell me that my best friend, the only one who admits, all he really likes is dancing crappy ballet on ice like a sissy! ? 】Some words, only when you grow up and recall, you will know how hurtful it is.Maybe you'll want to go back and say sorry to that person, but you'll never be able to.So you can only look at the smile on his face and think about the pain in his heart.

Looking at the serious expression on Qing Yue's face on the TV, Le Sheng wondered if he still remembered what he said... If he remembered, what kind of mood would he be in the middle of the field to draw on it with an ice blade? Strips of traces.When he saw Qingyue jump out of that perfect jump, applause and screams erupted for him in the arena, he finally turned off the TV, lay straight on the bed, and looked at the ceiling.

He picked up his phone and dialed Qingyue's home number.The hand holding the phone was raised and lowered, but in the end it still didn't dial out.Just staring at the ceiling, watching, watching, until late at night...
