Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

"Yes, it is."

Qing Yue hurriedly agreed, but found that he couldn't stretch his arms to take off the coat he was wearing now.Facing the storage room, he would touch the bottles and cans almost as long as he stretched his arms a little.After a few times, he had to bow his head and apologize to Alek who had been dragged by him for so long.

"I'm sorry, I'll just..."

However, at this moment, the temperature on Alek's palm touched his shoulder.

"I'll help you."

Alek who was facing the door of the storage room was obviously easier to move.Therefore, after Qing Yue raised his face and nodded to him, he gently took off Qing Yue's coat from his shoulders, and wrapped his arms around Qing Yue cautiously, and took off the sleeves of the clothes for him.The strange body temperature belonging to Alek continuously permeated from his palm to Qingyue's slender body.When the action reached here, both of them froze in a daze.Amidst the steady heartbeat that was so close that one could almost hear it, silence spread.It was Qing Yue who broke the silence first.

"Sorry, I... I didn't make it to the World Championships."

On that beautiful starry night, Qingyue has not forgotten how the young man in front of him said to him, "I am waiting for you at the World Championships." And how he smiled and nodded.And it was precisely because of this that he couldn't find Alek with a smile and a composure, even if he had spent four months with this person in front of him day and night, and took care of him meticulously for four months. What he learned in footwork and what he realized was taught to his people to drink a cup of hot tea together in this strange country.

However... Although he didn't say anything about not being able to participate in the World Championships, it didn't mean he didn't care about it now.It was this incident again that made him wonder what kind of expression he should use to describe this fact indifferently when he saw Alek again.

"You don't have to care. I believe that even in the World Youth Championships, you can do well, better than many players participating in the World Championships."

After hearing what Qing Yue said, the restrained and silent boy laughed inaudibly, and the gentle voice made people unable to restrain the throbbing in his heart.He adjusted the collar of Qing Yue's clothes, but he happened to meet the young man's clear eyes.The temperament that seemed to spread from the ice made this beautiful boy with a delicate face look so different.

Alek's eyes stayed on Qingyue's lips in the darkness, the light-colored lips that he had touched on that night with the soft moonlight.

Like a ghost, Alek raised his hand, touched the boy's lips lightly with his thumb, and looked at the boy's face fascinated.Then, he slowly, slowly moved closer to Qing Yue, as if to give him time to escape.However, the boy did not dodge, and only moved a few times when his lips were touched.However, at this moment, Alek had already held him by the shoulders, by that strong and powerful arm, and he couldn't break free any more.

However, this kiss is so clear and shallow, with a kind of cherishment that can be felt, but it only stays on the lips.The slightly itchy feeling of his lips being licked made the boy want to step back, but at this moment he heard Alek's magnetic voice.

"Second time. This is the second time I kiss you."

When Qingyue couldn't understand the meaning of "the second time", Alek had already put on the hat for him, and pulled down the brim of the hat on purpose.When the magnetic voice whispered, the door of the storage room was opened.The sudden light made Qing Yue's eyes flash white.When he got used to it again, he saw Alek's tall and straight figure close in front of him.Immediately, he stretched out his hand and touched the place that was just kissed by the other party reflexively, and his heartbeat has never been so violent...

"Don't worry about what other people say, and don't worry about what other people decide. Just do your best to show all you know, and nothing will be better than this."

Those words made Qing Yue, who was about to quickly catch up with Alek, stop in a daze.He knew that the boy in front of him who was not good at expressing his emotions was worried about him, worried that he would be flustered by the news that Kyle, who ranked second in the short program, was going to add a quadruple jump to the free skate.

After understanding the boy's unspoken tenderness, Qing Yue raised a smile related to the fearless self-confidence and dazzling youth.

"Don't worry, Alek. I originally planned to add quadruple jumps in tomorrow's free skating, even if I was kicked off the podium because of it."

What the boy said made the boy from Jia country who was walking in front stop, and turned around in disbelief...

There will be quadruple jumps in this year's World Youth Championships. This news, which is too explosive and even scary for figure skaters, made the players participating in the World Championships sleepless all night.

Once upon a time, the world of figure skating was so exciting, so... exciting.Nearly every top athlete active in world ice incorporates quadruple jumps into their repertoire during official games.Even... some people will add two amazing quadruple jumps.Whenever these appear, the audience's emotions will be full.As if even these people who don't know figure skating at all will be thrilled by it...

But the era that belongs to them seems to have declined...

Although they can now earn income from commercial performances and huge advertising endorsement fees, the appearance fee is much higher than that of their predecessors at that time.But in terms of the excitement of the game, they lost completely...

And tomorrow, there will be an athlete participating in the World Youth Championship who resolutely chooses to add a quadruple jump to the competition.Maybe it can be said that he is stupid, but he is so stupid that he is brave and so stupid that people are enviable...

This is destined to be a sleepless night, and tomorrow's game... will definitely attract more people to watch.For example... those top ice players who are expected to win medals in this year's World Championships.

……

"Hi, I'm Freire, could you please help me get a ticket for the men's figure skating free skating at the World Youth Championships tomorrow? Yes, please."

In the five-star hotel prepared for the participating athletes in the host country of the World Championships, a pleasant voice came from a certain room.It wasn't hearty or magnetic, but it was a voice that could make people feel better.The owner who can hear the voice is a person who loves to laugh very much, and is also able to bring happiness to friends around him.

He is Freire, who has made his way in the figure skating world for his country, Plandon, and Alek of Jia Country, who are the favorites to win medals in this year's World Championships.

As we all know, figure skating is not a traditional strength of Plandon.However, Plandon won a place in the world ice circle because of his country's player Freire's unexpected breakthrough.But it is a pity that although Freire's good results in the last World Championships can enable Plandon to send one more figure skater to the World Championships this year, apart from Fryre, Plandon will not be able to do so again. There are no good figure skaters who can be called world-class.

Therefore, the Planden Ice Association can be said to be extremely pampered by Frere.In such a small figure skating country, the Ice Association seems to hold Freire as his own son, and they will protect Freire no matter how messy he is.However, Freire, who has a good personality, is still a reassuring boy except for the occasional disconnection.

This year's Freire can be said to be a figure of the National Treasure level of Planden who was born with much anticipation.His mother was a well-known singer in Plandon, and his father was a world-renowned dancer.Moreover, he himself is highly accomplished in dance and classical music. At the age of 15, he successfully graduated from the first school of classical music in Plandon with absolute excellence.

The people of Plandon originally hoped that he would inherit his father's career, or that he would work with his famous younger brother to carry forward classical music in modern times.Unexpectedly, Frere went further in a completely different field alone, and successfully won the unprecedented glory for Plandon in this field.

Therefore, it is almost conceivable that Freire is so popular and popular in this country.

Of course, this is not to say that Freire doesn’t have any ice fans cheering for him on the ice rink outside of his own country. Because of his temperament and demeanor like a classical royal prince on the ice, many female ice fans They were all fascinated by him.Many people in the media even thought that he perfectly displayed the classical elegance and masculinity on ice.

However, it was such a world-class skater who had high hopes, but because he got the news that someone would perform quadruple jump in the World Youth Championship, he went to the World Youth Championship four days before the competition. At the scene of the figure skating long program final, he passed by the boy who will mean a lot to him in the future...

In the cold wind, the boy hurried to the arena, but his hat and scarf were suddenly blown away by a gust of wind.The wind messed up his hair, but it couldn't hide his delicate face.He turned around, but saw a boy who was not much older than him picked up his hat that was blown off by the wind, so he took the hat from the other party's hand and said thank you embarrassedly to the other party, but the boy smiled shook his head.That kind of smile...it seems to make people happy just by looking at it.

After passing by, the young man turned around as if thinking of something, and looked at the back of the boy who was half a head taller than him as he walked towards the entrance of the stadium, but he couldn't grasp that thread of thought...
