Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

No matter how much Freire protested, how he resisted, and how he found topics to delay time, he was finally put on the ice by Qing Yue full of grief after putting on his skates, and after swallowing his saliva, he held on to the ice with the determination to die. Sliding on the ice, and jumped several failed quadruple jumps in a row.

These quadruple jumps all ended in a near-tragic ice fall.At the World Championships, Freire was able to use a high degree of mental concentration, strong fighting spirit and determination to ensure that although his landing on the ice was so dangerous that it would make one's heart hang in mid-air, he would not fall completely .But now, having lost this fighting spirit and determination, and affected by his poor jumping form during training during the day, Freire's quadruple jump was a mess, it was horrible...

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

There was a sound of falling when falling on the ice.The ice surface was no longer as smooth as before, but instead became rough due to the tracks drawn by the ice blades.Freire felt the palms of his hands that had braced against the ice to protect him as he wobbled and fell hard had ooze blood.He wanted to ignore this small injury, which he didn't think was a big deal, but the tingling sensation kept reminding him all the time.

But this is really not a big deal, the really bad thing is that all the bones in his whole body seem to be broken by the slamming ice surface under these high-speed rotations, he can even hear the "creak" and "creak" The warning sound, but he still struggled, holding on to the ice without saying a word, trying to get up and try again, just like every time before.Unexpectedly, Qing Yue, who had been outside the ice rink, had already put on his skates, entered the ice rink at this moment, slid to the side of the ice rink where he was, and stretched out his hand to him.

Freire smiled at Qing Yue, exhaled, and stretched out his right hand, but he quickly switched to his left hand after seeing the blood oozing from the palm of his hand. Embarrassed, he stretched his sleeves to cover the dazzling red.

"Will it hurt?"

Qing Yue, who noticed Freire's action, asked, but Frere shook his head indifferently.

"It's not really painful, but it will get your hands dirty."

Seeing that Freire was still habitually standing up on the ice with his injured hand, Qing Yue immediately inserted his five fingers into the gap between Frere's five fingers, carefully avoiding Frere's bleeding. Pulling him up with all his strength, he carefully took Freire's hand, and dragged him to the outside of the ice rink, and the two sat on the steps together.

He unscrewed the bottle cap of the mineral water, poured a little water on the paper towel, spread out Freire's palm, and wiped Frere's wound gently with the water-soaked paper towel.And while doing this, he frowned and muttered: "The search engine says you are an amazing musician, but you can't be so inattentive to your hands. Hands are the life of a musician!"

"It's okay, it's fine if you don't hurt your fingers."

Freire had just finished saying this, when he saw Qingyue's silent murderous stare, and immediately bowed his head honestly and apologized, Ren Qingyue sprayed the medicine spray on his wound.

The atmosphere of silence spread for a long time, and Freire looked up at Qing Yue more than once to judge his mood at the moment.But because of what Qing Yue said so coldly, he was stunned, and even so shocked that he could hardly find his own voice.

"I've figured out what's wrong with your jumping."

"You... figured it out? What is the problem?!"

Qing Yue lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "Your jumping and mid-air rotation posture are very good, there is no problem. The problem lies in the rhythm of your take-off. Your take-off rhythm is too slow. Every time you take off, you will be half a beat behind , This causes you to need to speed up the rotation in the air, and because of this, the ice falls too fast, which makes your ice fall unstable, or even fall.

Your music and dance skills are far beyond the average skater, which makes your body engrave a rhythm into your consciousness after it finds a rhythm and adapts to it.So changing this rhythm will be harder for you than it is for others.So, you need an external force. "

Having said that, Qing Yue took out his mobile phone and played a piece of music.This piece of music is not long, only 20 seconds, but it is very impressive.Qingyue played this piece of music from beginning to end, then turned the volume of the phone to the maximum and handed it to Freire. He himself quickly slid to the center of the ice rink, and when he was ready, he spoke to Freire. Er nodded.

It was a tacit understanding that did not require words.Freire replayed the music after seeing Qing Yue nod to him.From the beginning of the music, Qing Yue took a deep breath, and after skating for a certain distance, he touched the ice to take off when the rhythm of the music changed suddenly, and landed steadily on the ice after spinning around in the air.The moment Qing Yue took off, Freire's eyes widened.Eyes and ears together recorded the picture that was displayed in front of his eyes at this time.

The boy's skating, jumping, and even the speed of his rotation in the air until the final landing on the ice all fit the rhythm of the whole piece of music in such a way, as if... a small band with several members was watching his performance , playing for him generally...

Not long after Qingyue fell into the ice, this piece of music came to an end, and all the melodies faded away, leaving Freire instinctively replaying the scene that just appeared in front of him over and over again in his mind with...

"See clearly? This is the rhythm I designed for your quadruple jump. I have conceived and experimented many times, and it should be in perfect agreement with your skating and take-off habits. Next...you watch me do it A few times, remember the rhythm, and then do it again, okay?"

Hearing what Qingyue said, Freire was startled for a moment, then nodded heavily, then stood not far away and played the music again, watching Qingyue perform quadruple jumps twice in front of his eyes.During this process, Freire seemed to bring his skating image into the scene in front of him, as well as... the music played on the phone.

To Freire's amazement... in the past, whenever he imagined himself performing quadruple jumps on ice, the picture always ended in a tragic fall.But this time, he saw himself skating beside Qingyue... unexpectedly landed on the ice after spinning around!

This is such a strange feeling that Freire couldn't help but want to try it now, and even completely lost the resistance to jumping brought about by his poor jumping form in the past few days.

When Freire replayed the picture in his mind ten or twenty times, he returned the phone to Qing Yue and asked him to play the piece of music for him, but Qing Yue ended up disconnecting the phone. Then he ran outside the ice rink and took out a leather drum from his large backpack.

That's exactly... the leather drum Freire lent Qing Yue a few days ago to take back to practice when he has time.

"you……?"

Seeing Qingyue's actions, Freire made a sound with some doubts, but Qingyue shook his head at him, and pointed to the mobile phone, indicating that the music will be played soon.So Freire suppressed the doubts in his heart and waited for the signal.

The music sounded, and as the first note came into his ears, Freire took a deep breath by relying on his extraordinary memory of music and pictures, just like Qingyue just now, even the frequency of breathing is so similar.Suddenly, Freire's eyes froze, and the gliding movement began. At this moment, a series of simple rhythms were struck by the leather drum.

Freire knew that it was Qing Yue who was beating the skin drum with his clumsy and jerky movements, but he had no time to pay attention to him. Instead, he concentrated, recalled Qing Yue's previous movements, and followed that A specific rhythm turns around and slides backwards, and with the strength of the music, it enters the slide before take-off...

It's now!Freire's consciousness clearly told him that at that point, he needed some ice to take off!But his body slackened at that time due to the inertia left over when he first learned the quadruple jump. It seemed that the instinct of the body gained the upper hand under the confrontation with the consciousness.However, at this moment, the drum beat that gradually accelerated with the rhythm of the music changed the sound of the drum, as if knowing Freire's body's instinctive hesitation.

"boom!"

As Qingyue's right palm changed the drum beat, a sound different from all the previous drum beats appeared in the ice rink.Although it was not loud, it seemed so special at this moment, even...it became an unexpected external force, which made Freire subconsciously jump off the ice at that moment...

What happened afterwards was like being in a dream. Freire didn't know how he completed the rotation around in the air, and he couldn't recall the moment when the ice fell and the feeling when the ice blade touched the ice surface.I only know... I was too surprised to fall when I was skating on the ice, and Qing Yue, who was cheering for him just now, broke his glasses, and even the skin drum fell on the ice slowly rolling away...

Freire was incredible, and so was Qingyue.

However, Freire was incredible because he succeeded in quadruple jumping.Qing Yue was inconceivable because Freire would inexplicably fall while sliding down the ice.

So...

"Qing Yue!"

"Frell!!!"
