Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

Although Freire's reaction was unexpected, it also darkened Qingyue's expression. After a long silence, he said, "I...Alek and I are friends. Not only that, before last season , I have lived in his house for a long time and received Sauron's training with him. I want to say that the reason why I can achieve such a good result last season is that the jump taught by Naxiu is of course very important. But Sauron was also very important to my training. Not to mention...Alek often gave me very useful advice and always took good care of me. I... am very grateful to him."

"so?"

Freire looked at Qingyue with interest, wondering what he would say next.Unexpectedly, Qing Yue actually frowned and struggled with thinking for a long time but couldn't think of a result, so he could only say a word with great momentum while struggling: "There is no reason!"

Qingyue's words made Freire's reaction slow for half a beat, and he burst into laughter. Before Qingyue could figure out what it meant, Freire threw the backpack that had slipped off his shoulders onto his back again. As he walked forward, the setting sun made his back look extraordinarily charming.

"Let's go, I'll take you to eat seafood today. King crab legs with strong fragrant cheese, king scallops, you should be interested?"

Hearing Freire's words, Qing Yue immediately quickened his pace to follow.

"Alek is your friend and we don't like him. That's fine, but just because Alek is your friend doesn't mean you want him to be our friend. Likewise, we don't like Alek. Means we want you to hate him too. So, what's there to bother about? Just don't mention Alek when we're together?"

When Qing Yue followed, he heard what Freire seemed to say casually.An extremely simple sentence solved the problem that troubled Qing Yue from the morning to the present.Hearing this, Qing Yue was stunned for a while, and then suddenly realized after being stunned for a long time.

"That's right! Don't mention Alek when we're together?"

"Of course, there is no need to change at all."

After saying this, Freire pressed Qingyue's head and rubbed it several times, but in exchange for the other party's unconcealable smile.

"However, if one day Alek really wins the Olympic championship, I will really do it. That guy's skating is too much like gymnastics. It's boring gymnastics performed by a muscular man."

"Frell!!!"

Hearing Freire's words, Qing Yue immediately ran away. Freire evaded his attack while running away, and finally dragged Qing Yue to speed up towards the seafood shop he mentioned...

The crisis that troubled Qing Yue for a whole day was resolved in an instant, and it was even...simple beyond Qing Yue's imagination.It seems that Freire can always make things develop in a good direction easily.It was also surprisingly pleasant to be with him.These days in Plandon have also become the happiest days since he learned figure skating because of Frere's relationship.

In the half month since I came to Plandon, I will learn the purest flamenco dance with Freire in their dance troupe three to four days a week, and I will go up to beat the leather drum twice during the break time, But there was only chaotic and sticky drumbeats, but everyone didn't care. Instead, some musicians who were in charge of beating the skin drums would say a few points to Qingyue in their free time.

Renault, the head of the dance troupe, does not appear every day, but whenever he appears, the atmosphere in the dance troupe will become more serious, and everyone will work harder.It can be said that he is a great dancer with a very rigorous attitude towards art, but also has bold creativity.Although such a successful world-renowned dancer, he cares about every member of the dance troupe.

Even... Once Qingyue was listening to the music in the mp3 and recalling what Freire taught him, when he was alone in an inconspicuous corner and explained his understanding of flamenco with a clumsy body, Renault After looking at it carefully for a while, when Qing Yue stops, he will say to him: "Dancing well."

That sentence can make Qing more flattered and happy for several days.

"Little devil, the leather drum is not played on the ground like this. You have to use your knees to jam the groove in the middle of it, and then it will make a sound when you hit it again. Moreover, the sound made by this kind of drum will be better than the previous one. It’s much louder, and the sound quality is much better. Then, here, here, here, when you hit these places, the sound will be different, remember to focus on it.”

On this day, Qingyue's training ended earlier, and because Freire would have to receive separate instruction from Renault for a while, Qingyue played the leather drum beside him because he was bored.A drummer who came out after changing his clothes saw Qing Yue's completely reckless movements, couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward, and said a few points to him.Qing Yue watched carefully, listened carefully, and quickly thanked the other party after writing it down, and then continued with his completely amateur actions, having a great time playing.

Not long after, Freire came out, saw Qing Yue's completely pointless movements and chaotic drumbeats, couldn't bear to laugh and failed, walked behind Qing Yue, and grabbed his wrists.Qing Yue, who was seriously beating the drums, was immediately startled by Freire's action, and wanted to withdraw his hand reflexively, but felt that the other party's hand holding his wrist was tighter.So he turned his head and saw Freire showing an encouraging smile to himself.

"are you ready?"

Following that sentence, Freire led Qing Yue to play a series of complicated and exciting rhythms.It was so beautiful that Qing Yue opened his mouth and made a surprised sound.

"The results of search engines only say that you can play acoustic guitar, piano and violin!"

After the last drum beat stopped, Qing Yue immediately turned around and said in surprise.But because of the close relationship with Freire, he heard the slow but strong heartbeat of the other party.Because of this, he was dazed, but after that, he was surprised by the posture that he was almost imprisoned in Freire's arms at this time.

The boy behind him seems to have a strong physique beyond Qingyue's imagination. Years of high-intensity dance training and physical training have made his body fixed at a level that does not appear strong.It is often said that the type of muscles on the body cannot be seen through clothes.But through a thin layer of clothing, one can easily feel the energy contained in every inch of his skin.Moderate yet powerful, extremely explosive...

The feeling of being gradually infiltrated by the other party's body temperature and breath made Qing Yue panic and wanted to jump away, but he couldn't move because of the skin drum stuck on his knee, so he had to turn around stiffly, and gently moved the skin drum first. Put it down and stand up again.But for just this moment, the feeling of the other party's breath spraying on his neck was still an unstoppable thrill for him, but it didn't stop there.

Freire didn't seem to notice Qingyue's abnormality at all, and said with some embarrassment: "Acoustic guitar, piano and violin are the instruments I am good at. As for the leather drum... I just learn from them when I come to the dance troupe for training." A few times, not to the extent that it can be shown on stage."

As soon as this remark came out, Qing Yue immediately complained silently, but this was obviously not the first time Qing Yue had been provoked.He also obviously couldn't imagine why the boy beside him who was about his age could achieve such outstanding results in so many fields at such a young age.But... that must have required a lot of hard work to be delivered.

"Frell..."

"what?"

"Practicing an instrument...is it hard?"

"Perhaps I should say that it's really hard to practice these things until you really like them. You have to repeat boring scale exercises every day. When I was a child, I came up with many ways to avoid practice. But wait until you like it. Their day, it will become very happy."

Freire's words made Qing Yuyu think about something silently, but Frere's short message prompt tone interrupted all of this.

"Sharman sent a message saying that his girlfriend Eva found a very good dessert shop. It's on the commercial street not far from here. Ask if we want to go there together after the end."

"Then... let's go...?"

"kindness."

……

Qingyue is currently undergoing intense, orderly and interesting special dance training in Planden, a foreign country. Although he is very busy every day, he will have a good rest time in the evening.But at the moment, the NX brand headquarters, which is under the leadership of Naxiu, is too busy to spend.Since the last press conference attended by Naxiu to warm up for this new product launch, NX brand skates have become a hit among ordinary skaters.Even many ordinary people have expressed strong interest in the new products that the brand will release.

That's natural.Originally, NX brand skates have built up a fantastic reputation and word-of-mouth in the figure skating world in the past ten years.How many people who like skating, and even unknown skaters from all over the world are yearning to put on NX skates and walk on the ice rink one day.

But now...Naxiu, who had been a miracle in the ice world, returned to the country of figure skating again with the opportunity of Qing Yue's sudden birth to win the World Youth Championship.At the end of the season, he was exposed to the public's attention as the founder and chief designer of the NX brand.

This can be said to be a very shocking soft advertisement for the NX brand.The effect that can be obtained is self-evident.Not to mention... the consensus reached by Naxiu and Qu Shen from the perspective of business strategy.

Customize the most professional skates for the top athletes in the world ice circle. This is the commercial positioning that Naxiu set for the NX brand at the beginning.It is true that customizing luxury skates for top skaters can obviously make huge profits, but with years of operation and development, this market has already been saturated.How many people can be called the top skaters in the world and can afford such a high fee?

Therefore, the reverse operation of entering the low-end market from the high-end market, this plan has been prepared for a long time, but it is just that there is no suitable time.Disclosing his identity as the founder and chief designer of the NX brand can certainly play a very good role.But after all... He has been retired for 20 years, and he can't estimate how much this identity will play in the younger generation of skaters.Some, or almost nothing?

However, when Qing Yue appeared in front of his eyes and gradually showed his extraordinary talent in jumping, Naxiu felt that... the right time seemed to have arrived.
