Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

Working with Freire can be a real pleasure.Originally, it was just agreed that you would teach me to dance and I would teach you to jump, that's all.But in getting along, it gradually became the sharing of all training plans.

Since the team in charge of Qingyue's daily training was not here, Freire dragged him to his physical trainer and ordered Qingyue to carry out physical training with him.Because of this, Qingyue got acquainted with Charlene, a good friend who grew up together with Freire because he learned ice dance together when he was young.Perhaps, because of this, Qing Yue not only got acquainted with Charman, but also Charman's ice dance partner, Eva, who has a charming face of a mature woman but has an unexpectedly cute personality.

This is Qing Yue's first time training with other skaters, it can be said to be a very novel feeling.Not to mention... it's been a lot of fun watching Freire and Charmaine tell each other what to do.Of course, this is also a very disillusioning thing.how to say?Freire's original image of being too perfect and making people feel unattainable seems to be completely broken.

Before that, Qingyue always felt that... Freire was born in an excellent family, with excellent ice skills, very humble and confident, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and the world's top men's singles player who has extraordinary strengths in other places.

But... the time spent together with Freire and Charman made Qing understand that Frere is also unforgiving and occasionally does some small pranks.The most important thing is...he actually secretly speaks ill of the competitor who won the medal.Or maybe, this move of his is more than just stealth...

"Xiao Qingyue, do you know that this guy Freire and Alek from Jia Kingdom don't like each other?"

"The two of them... don't get along?"

"You don't even know this? This shows that you haven't really stepped into the ice circle. Not knowing the gossip stories among some famous skaters means that you haven't integrated into this circle at all."

"Is...is that so?"

"Of course. Come on, let your senior Charman tell you. Freire has been compared with Alek from Jiaguo all the way to the World Championships. When he participated in the World Youth Championships for the first time, he was defeated by Alek. Squeeze hard, and because Freire couldn't understand Alek's skating style, so from then on... it started."

"But, Freire is very gentle, so it shouldn't be because of this...?"

"God...gentle, is the person you're talking about really the insidious guy Freyr, who is sure to get revenge...he has never been innocent and innocent since the day we met! This guy always talks to us with a smile on his face in private. Said... As a figure skater, Alek's body is unbelievably stiff. His skating is not creative and artistic at all. If there is a day, the FIFA will make Alek an Olympic champion , he will definitely submit a proposal to the International Ice Federation through the Planden Ice Association to rename the men's figure skating event as 'ice gymnastics'."

This is the practice room rented by figure skaters such as Frare and Charman.Designed for body flexibility, finishing jumps on the floor, and perfecting some dance moves.At this moment, according to what Freire said, Charmaine, who had a boyish face but a middle-aged man's heart, was dragging Qingyue to squat in a small corner next to the mirror, secretly communicating information in an unusually serious atmosphere.

Just when the information exchange reached a very important hurdle, Qing Yue was horrified to see Freire walking behind them with a smile from the corner of his eyes.Hiding in a small corner behind others to communicate about other people's affairs, but being passed by the person concerned, such an unprecedented experience made Qing Yue's eyes widen in horror, looking forward blankly, and kept pulling on Charmaine without making a sound. sleeves.

"F, Frere..."

"kindness?"

"F, Freire...he heard...?"

He opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound. It took a long time for Qingyue to find his own voice, and stammered towards Charmaine.

"did not hear."

Charman said without blushing, but before Qing Yueshun could calm down, he immediately added the sentence "It's impossible not to hear", which made Qing Yue choke and blushed for a long time I can't breathe.Charman patted Qing Yue's back to help him calm down, and at the same time looked back at Frere, who was doing muscle-strengthening exercises, to confirm Frere's emotional value at the moment, and then turned back and continued talking to Qing Yue.

"Don't worry, just pretend that you don't know anything when you talk to him later. Or if you want to agree with his opinion, he will be very happy.

Hey, don't look at me like an alien, I'm telling the truth.This guy has always disliked Alek, but it is impossible for him to say these words when he sees a person.But if it's us talking, it's different.So, you... can you understand? "

Hearing Charman's explanation, Qing Yue remained terrified, squatting in a small corner and turned his head to look at Freire, but saw that the other party smiled back at him, so he seemed to be struck by lightning. Turning his head as usual, he said emotionally: "But Alek...Alek is not like what he said. Alek's skating is very personal."

"Personal style? Are you referring to his height of 189 cm?"

"No! I mean...Alek's footwork, done very...very..."

"Like the one in the video teaching? Like the one described in the teaching book? Indeed, teenagers nowadays should watch more of his games. It is conducive to the basic education of skating skills, hahahahaha."

Seeing that Charman, who had just become friends in the past few days, first criticized Alek with a strong subjective consciousness, and then said in a very serious tone, even without any ups and downs, "Hahaha Haha" to express his deep contempt for Alek, Qing Yue, who was taken care of by Alek and his father in the preparations before the start of last season, frowned and fell silent.

"what happened to you?"

Noticing that something was wrong with Qing Yue, Charman turned his attention to him.

"You... all hate Alek?"

"It should be said that all ice dancers will not like him. In addition, it is impossible for figure skaters who regard the artistic expression of the show as the most important thing to like him. Technology and art, Which of these two items is more important has been debated in the world ice circle for a long time.

If we say that Freire and we are figure skaters who advocate artistic expression in the program, then Alek can be said to be a representative figure of skaters who advocate technology in the current ice circle.

It can be said that his program completely abandons artistic expression, let alone showing the slightest creativity, but he is still able to rely on Jia Guo's influence in the International Ice Association to obtain high artistic bonuses in major competitions. Points, this fact is nothing short of insulting to those of us who put so much effort into the artistic expression of the show.

Maybe he did nothing wrong himself, but we just can't like him, especially his rival Frere.Can you understand what it feels like for a player like Frere, who brought his artistic expression to the peak in the show, to get the same artistic bonus as Alek when he competed on the same stage? "

When Charman just said his negative comments on Alek, Qing Yue took a big breath in his heart, and didn't even want to talk to Charman anymore.But... the words that Charman said at the end made Qingyue's heart feel as if it was overwhelmed and unable to calm down for a long time.Qing Yue turned his head to look at Freire, who was seriously doing muscle-strengthening exercises, and his breathtaking performances as a dancer on the stage flashed before his eyes one after another... The complicated emotions Attacking Qingyue over and over again...

"What happened to you today?"

Since Qing Yue was a guest from Xishuyuan to Planden, Freire, the host who had a good relationship with him, naturally took on the important task of taking Qing Yue around the streets and alleys of Plandon.Therefore, the two boys often go to the most interesting places to eat, drink and have fun together after a day of training.No, maybe... we should call it tolerantly, relaxation after training.

However, Qing Yue, who usually looks extremely happy at this time, has been abnormally silent today.Careful Frere will of course notice his abnormality.

Twilight fell on this land, adding a graceful light to this city that perfectly combines retro and modern.The unusually handsome boy and the young man with a delicate face walked together, unconsciously attracting the attention of some passers-by.However, the boy who was very quiet along the way stopped in a daze when he heard the boy's question, which made the boy even more confused.

"You have something on your mind...?"

I don't know if it's out of habitual politeness or something, Freire who asked this question seemed a little hesitant.He knew very well that he shouldn't pry too much into private matters that others didn't take the initiative to say, but his intuition told him that Ling Qingyue's abnormal things today should be related to himself.

Qing Yue was very surprised when he heard this sentence.Because he obviously struggled for a long time, not knowing whether to say those words or not.But I never thought about it... Freire had already seen the clue.That being the case, Qing Yue, who had been upset for a day today, didn't want to suffer alone anymore, but said all those words.

"You hate Alek? ​​Not only you, Charman, Eva, they all... hate Alek?"

"Hate? Maybe."

Freire said this seemingly indifferently, but the mocking tone he inadvertently revealed had already betrayed him.Or, he didn't want to hide this emotion at all.
