Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

Another Olympic Games is coming.Four years seems to be a very long time, so long... that the Xishu Ice Association thought that when Chu Xuan retired due to injury, he could use four years to train two more athletes from Xishu's existing youth group. [-], or even more world-class men's singles players at the same level as Chu Xuan and even Qing Yue.But now, four years have passed, but since Chu Xuan retired due to injury and Qing Yue disappeared mysteriously, their status in the world ice circle has plummeted.

Perhaps when Qing Yue was still there, they couldn't feel this sense of urgency, or even a sense of oppression.However, although the current ice world has regressed a lot in terms of game enjoyment and overall difficulty after the introduction of the new rules, Xishu still completely lost in the competition with Jiaguo.

It seems that the current ice world only has the tragic adjective "former overlord" for Xishu.With Xishu's glory on the ice world no longer, many countries are competing to rise.Scott, Corrington, even Plandon.However, as those unfamiliar players gradually emerged, and the players who had created countless brilliance disappeared, why did many ice fans gradually feel that this once wonderful world of ice and snow has become boring to them?

As for the former overlord of the ice world, Xi Shu, who was able to win two gold and silver medals in one World Championship, it seems that she has never been on the podium of a world-class competition since the year when Qing Yue mysteriously disappeared. took a seat.The three places that used to be able to go to the World Championships every year have also been reduced to two because of their successive losses in the field.

Those who abused Qingyue, hurt Qingyue severely with words, and even greatly affected his daily life seem to have changed their attitude towards this figure skater who won an Olympic silver medal for their country the opinion of.With the passage of time, and the Xishu Ice World has officially entered a long period of decline with no future in sight, they seem to start to miss Qing Yue again, and even more miss his silent confrontation with Chu Xuan on the ice rink, and even more competition with each other of that era.

They suddenly realized... As long as these two people exist, they can always see their country's national flag at the award ceremony of the World Championships or even the Olympics.

But now, Chu Xuan has become an influential film actor in the Xishu film industry, and even in the world.He looks more handsome and attractive now than he did four years ago, but everyone knows that this young man who can dazzle wherever he goes will never put on his skates and return to the world he once poured into. I have sweated and dreamed of the ice rink.

So, what about Qingyue?

It seems that on the eve of this Olympic Games, many people remembered what Qing Yue once said... that he would skate to the Olympic Games when he was 27 years old.But the video of the Olympic silver medalist who still had a gentle smile on his face and a special temperament unlike anyone else was interviewed at the press conference after the Olympics can still be found on major websites, but No one can tell where this genius who has been missing for nearly three years and was once praised by the outside world as only one genius in 50 years is now.No one knows whether he can still skate now, whether he is willing to continue to return to the ice rink, and whether he is still living in a certain corner of the world.

Such a reality is embarrassing and helpless.

The Qingyue exclusive ice fan group that was once extremely prosperous and once fragmented began to recover gradually. They launched activities to find Qingyue, as if they wanted to call for a miracle at the last moment.

But what if a miracle comes?Is Qingyue, who has encountered all that in the Xishu National Championships, really willing to return to the stage of the Xishu National Championships, return to the place that finally prompted him to leave, and show off again. Everyone's amazing ice skills?

This is the last day of September. Qing Yue, who has successfully registered through the ISU network system, has booked a flight ticket to the city where the knockout competition will be held, and is planning to join Freire after the day's practice dinner.

From the day Freire woke up from a coma, Qingyue resigned from his current job as a ski instructor, which is very well-paid for him, and together with Frere found an abandoned house in a nearby town. The frozen warehouse has been transformed into a huge ice rink in a different way.

Although the ice rink made in this way does not have the professional cameras that figure skaters need to record every jump and every slide, so that they can find areas for improvement from the images captured by the cameras after practice. However, Freire, who volunteered to become Qingyue's coach, also thought of a way.That is to follow Qing Yue with a home video camera.

Since Freire himself has not retired for many years and has never really stopped skating, he is completely able to keep up with Qing Yue and correct his mistakes while taking pictures of his impact records.In the process, the two people's usual skating skills had a constant running-in, but it also made them both gain a lot.Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the behavior of the two people who never give up trying to persuade each other during training is like a child's house wine, but only those who have really been on the ice will know that when two such top players are together constantly Discovering the little mistakes they've made with each other over the years, it's going to be something that both of them will benefit from listening in on.

Freire: "Dance another 3L, Qingyue."

Qing Yue: "I said that I won't jump back and forth with ring jumps!"

Freire: "Oh, come on, I think you even have an edge error on your rear outer loop jump, let me see another jump."

Qing Yue: "Of course I know that I used the wrong blade for the back outer knot jump, but I have been wrong for more than ten years. I mean... since I have not been able to skate against him in the past ten years , why don't we put our time in a more meaningful place?"

Freire: "Don't you think it's a very meaningful thing to show all six jumps in one show?"

Qingyue: "The rules only say that no triple or quadruple jump can be done more than twice instead of once. So I don't have to show all six jumps. Two Axel jumps, Two hook jumps, and the rest I can choose to jump to the inside. How perfect? ​​The three jumps I am best at happen to be the three jumps with the highest points. Do you think it is really necessary for me to correct the rear The use of blades for external ring jumps? It seems that thinking about quintuple jumps is more realistic than this."

Since Freire and Qingyue are players of the same period, and the way Qingyue and Frere get along seems to have always been like this, it seems that Frere, the coach who is indifferent to Qingyue, has no deterrent effect on Qingyue, as if Now that this is the case, Qing Yue refuses to do what Freire said.After saying all this in one breath, Qingyue showed a victorious smile to Freire, but Frere didn't seem to have the slightest intention to become angry.Wearing a gray close-fitting sweater, Brandon's Light also showed Qingyue a charming smile, but this kind of smile made Qingyue feel a little bit of a bad premonition.

I saw Freire put down the family camera and took off his gloves, just like this, a point of ice gliding towards the unsuspecting Qing at an extremely fast speed, just like this, he just jumped several sets of jumps. , who was panting and exhausted, was caught off guard by Freire and flung himself onto the ice.Furthermore, Freire, who possessed extremely high dancing skills and skating skills, had excellent control and held Qingyue firmly before his body touched the ice, and stopped there in an ambiguous posture.

"Ah, very good, the Axel jump with the highest points, the hook jump and the inside ice jump. So, your long program is only going to have six take-offs and even the jump is only going to be a two-step jump. Is it?"

The intentionally lowered voice rang in Qing Yue's ears, as if it were ambiguous love words between lovers.After saying these words, Freire even touched Qing Yue's sensitive ears with the tip of his tongue viciously, which made Qing Yue tremble violently.While struggling, I heard Frere say words with obvious regret: "What did we say? Now I am not your competitor in the same period, but your coach. Bad students who don't listen to the coach should accept What punishment? Why don't we be more enthusiastic after today's candlelight dinner, let's do it a few more times?"

"Freyer! There are still a few days until the Olympic qualifiers!"

"Oh, of course I do. It's just that level of competition, I'm sure you could beat them on a set with your hands on skates."

Hearing such outrageous words, Qing Yue, whose face was flushed because of the afternoon ice practice, was even more annoyed, but just as he was about to take a deep breath and have a good discussion with Frere By that time, his lips had been taken away by Freire who was holding him in his arms, and an extremely deep kiss was printed on him...

This was the last night before they left this quiet town. Freire and Qing Yue drove to a nearby supermarket and fish shop to buy food for tonight.When Qingyue selected the most delicious food based on the experience he had accumulated in these years of wandering life, Freire also did not forget to buy some candles and some extravagant flower bouquets here.When Qing Yue inadvertently turned his head and smiled at him, Freire, who was holding a bouquet in his arms, naturally put a kiss on Qing Yue's lips.
