Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

"What did I say? For a woman, the happiest thing is to give birth to a son who grows into a charming man who can win the hearts of countless girls. At this time, standing by his side can make others recognize him as a son." girlfriend. Do you say so, my dear Alek?"

Saying that, the charming mature girl smiled, hugged Alek's arm, and showed a snuggling gesture, which made Alek, who was not talking much, stiffen, but the mature girl laughed. It's even more fun.

"Elena."

Seeing his ex-wife... lively as always, and his son's embarrassing appearance, Sauron had no choice but to remind him.

"Okay, okay, I'm not joking with you guys. Sauron, you are really too. Alek was cute when he was young, but he became more and more boring when he grew up, just like you were back then. I don't want my precious son's future wife to divorce him for this reason."

"Cough cough..."

What interrupted the too open speech of the mature girl named Irina... was the cough of Alek who was sitting opposite Qingyue choking on lemonade.It seems that this seemingly taciturn, young and mature boy is just as unaccustomed to it as Qingyue...the two people's thinking is too avant-garde to have a conversation.He covered his mouth with a tissue, coughed a few times as if nothing had happened, and continued to order with the waiter with a cold face.

"I want a glass of wine, dear Alek, you know that is very good for beauty."

"Yes, mother."

Seeing such a deformed family meeting, Qing Yue had no choice but to hold the juice Sauron ordered for him and slowly drink it in the corner without saying a word, watching them nervously and curiously.He seems to be trying very hard to weaken his sense of existence, but unfortunately it backfires.At this time... Qing Yue's almost absolute attraction to older women reappeared.

"This... is the little boy you said, brought over from Xishu?"

"Yes, an old friend asked me to take care of him for a few months."

"He... so cute! He's almost as cute as our Alek was when he was a child!"

"Mom... I think I know exactly what I looked like at my age."

Listening to the conversation between his parents who were supposed to be serious at first, but then completely changed, Alek finally couldn't restrain himself from reminding his mother who had entered a dream state, because he felt that it seemed necessary to redeem himself "Innocence".But after saying this, he turned his attention to Qing Yue who hadn't spoken since just now.

Too slender.

This is Alek's first impression of Qingyue.The boy in front of him looked to be improving well, with light pink on his cheeks from the tender skin, his facial features were very delicate, and his eyes were full of aura.This is a boy who makes people feel better when they see him.But even for a figure skater, he's still too slender.Alek has a very clear idea of ​​the golden weight for this sport.The so-called golden weight is the most favorable weight for athletes of their respective height and age to complete all the prescribed actions.

An extra pound will cause the foot's support point to bear more impact when landing on the ice, which may lead to unstable landing movements, and the heavier weight will make the whole set of movements feel slightly bulky.And one pound less will make the body unable to complete the whole program well due to lack of physical strength.That's why most figure skaters go through a diabolical weight adjustment before the season starts.Of course, most people are troubled by weight loss.

But if it was the boy in front of him, Alek didn't doubt that he would need a weight-gain menu.

"Waiter, please add another filet mignon."

After discovering this, Alek directly called the waiter to add another dish, and then asked Qingyue very politely: "I'm sorry, how well-done steak do you usually like to eat?"

"Seven... seventy percent..."

As if he didn't expect Alek to ask himself such a question, Qing Yue didn't react until he said the answer, but saw Alek closed the menu and nodded to the waiter and said "seventy percent"

"Wait, wait a minute, this steak...was ordered for me?"

"Yes, you are too skinny. It will be very hard until the end of the season. Temporary weight gain is not a good idea."

When he said this sentence, Alek smiled at Qing Yue.Although it was very shallow, it was the first time Qingyue saw Alek smile, a smile that seemed to make one's heart skip a beat just by looking at it.So... Qing Yue was stunned until Alek's mother Yi Lianna called him twice in a row before realizing it, and then she felt very ashamed and bowed her head, making this extremely young woman laugh.

"Sorry ma'am..."

"Oh, don't call me that, I'd rather you call me Elena. Just now I heard from Sauron that your name is Qingyue? Are you a child who is very talented in jumping?"

"Well, my name is Qing Yue. As for jumping...my friend said I'm quite talented in this..."

Hearing Qing Yue's self-report, Sauron chuckled lightly, "It's not a bit of talent, it's... no less than Naxiu's jumping talent."

Hearing Sauron's words, Alek's hand, which was cutting food, was heavy, and he cut the knife into the plate, making a harsh sound.Yi Lianna showed... amazing surprise, and then she looked at Qingyue differently, but she still looked at Sauron in disbelief.

"You mean... Na Xiu? That Na Xiu that I was fascinated by back then?! No, impossible! I mean... Na Xiu was able to jump two quadruple jumps in official competitions when he was 16 years old. All men's singles players are forced to be talented for four weeks! You...don't you all say that he is a genius that is rare in 50 years?"

"Maybe 100 years." Sauron shrugged and said humorously: "But he just appeared now. He only started to go on the ice when he was 13 years old. After learning to skate for two and a half years, he can win the No. 4. Even though it was only for the youth group, he has already been able to jump three perfect axel triple axels in one free skating. I can say with certainty that even Naxiu back then may not Can do better than him.”

"sky……"

Irina unabashedly exclaimed, and re-examined the boy in front of him who looked a little at a loss.He looked so immature, and his somewhat timid appearance made it impossible for Irina to accept the boy in front of me and the boy on the ice rink back then, and even enjoyed the attention of everyone, dazzling and extraordinary, standing on the clouds as if in The teenagers from another world associate together.

Elena was also an avid ice fan when she was young.In other words, if it wasn't for this, she obviously wouldn't be able to marry Sauron, a man who didn't meet Irina's romantic ideals in her girlhood, and couldn't often bring her surprises.

Sauron doesn't understand romance, or he is a rigorous and overly reserved man.He is used to arrange the most reasonable time every day, and then strictly abide by that arrangement.This is obviously not acceptable to Elena.But Sauron's attractiveness on the ice, which seemed to suffocate all women, made the too young Irina give up her reason and marry him.Although not long after Sauron retired, their marriage could no longer be maintained, but Elena did not regret it.

But this also means that she will have a deep impression of the name Naxiu that even time cannot dilute.She still remembered how she called Naxiu and Sauron's names in the stands when she was a girl.At that time, everyone said that the ice fans born in Jia country were the happiest, because the warriors of their country could win medals every year, whether it was the World Championships or the Winter Olympics.So the ice fans at that time were deeply proud of being from Jia.

At that time, Naxiu and Sauron were both the pride and glory of the Jia country.It should be said that Sauron became famous earlier, and he is a hard-working player who has steadily improved his world ranking.And Naxiu...it seemed to appear out of thin air. At the age of 16, he represented the country and won a medal in the World Championships. Since then, ice fans have fallen in love with him hopelessly.

But what impressed Yelena the most was that Naxiu didn't smile at the award ceremony of the World Championships that year.At the press conference after the game, when the reporter mentioned this issue, his response was: That's nothing, because I can do better.

Perhaps his answer seemed at the time...to be hopelessly arrogant, but the fact that happened later is...he did win the gold medal in the next year's Olympic Games, but he left him forever after that ice fans.

It was good that Irina was madly infatuated with Sauron at that time, but she also loved Naxiu so piously.For most female ice fans, Sauron is a miracle worker, and Naxiu is a god who created a century.

So even though another 20 years have passed, those ice fans back then still remember Naxiu, and firmly believe that there will be no one in this world who can surpass Naxiu.And the fairy tales that belonged to him can no longer be copied...
