Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

The joy of finally succeeding in the quadruple jump made Freire, the number one figure skater in Planden who had seen the storm, couldn't contain his joy.Because it was not the usual quadruple jumps that happened to be successful and made him feel lingering fear, but the real... quadruple jumps that allowed him to perform stably in the competition.

How can it be regarded as having a stable quadruple jump?Nine out of ten attempts?

To this question, Qingyue's answer is almost the same as that of Naxiu back then: When necessary, I can succeed as long as I take off.Other than that, it doesn't matter how many times I fail in practice and how badly I fall.

And Qingyue's hard work made Freire feel... It seems that he can also have this kind of stable quadruple jump.For an excellent dancer, a rhythm... as long as he successfully demonstrates it once, he can remember this rhythm forever.It's like a brand engraved in the body, which can never disappear.

Therefore, Freire's surprise at this time... can almost be imagined.

Excitedly, he rushed to the steps at the entrance of the ice rink and hugged Qingyue, and before Qingyue could react, he pressed his head tightly between his neck, panting uncontrollably, and His joy was conveyed to Qingyue through physical contact.And before Qingyue could react, he let go of him, but his hands still firmly grasped his shoulders.

"How did you come up with this method! It's amazing! So my jumping is not as bad as I thought?"

After Qing Yue came to his senses, he wanted to punch Freire, who had been out of order since tonight, on the forehead, but Frere's joy of deja vu at this time made him stunned.It reminded him of how he felt when he jumped out of the first successful quadruple jump after countless failures.

At that moment, it seemed that all the pain he had paid for this jump, and the countless falls before that, had become a kind of sweetness, allowing him to accept the sweetness of this success calmly.He understood what it would be like to take off every failed jump, and he could better understand what it would be like to take off every successful jump.

So Qing Yue was infected by Freire's joy and laughed out loud: "Actually, your jumping method and feeling are right. Although jumping on the floor and jumping on the ice are completely different things, but your jumping It felt good on the ice. So I wondered... maybe the timing of your takeoff is wrong. But, for a dancer like you, it's hard to change the rhythm that the body has been used to, no External help won't work. So, I came up with this method."

Hearing Qingyue's words, Freire hugged Qingyue again, and was so happy that he directly entered a state of excitement.Quickly run to the ice, enter the skating before take-off with the fastest gliding speed, and jump on the ice again!And then fell into a mess...

This situation frightened Qing Yue, and he quickly took off the plastic sleeve on the ice skates and slid into the field, dragged Freire up with difficulty, and then dragged Frere, who was almost bored, to slide slowly Out of the ice rink.I wanted him to lie down and carefully check him for any injuries, but I was worried that the cold floor would hit his head, so I simply laid Freire on my lap, starting from the neck down , using the palm of your hand to press down inch by inch, and asked Freire while pressing, "Does it hurt?", so as to judge whether there is something left by Frere when he fell into the ice. Under the dark wound.

When Qingyue's series of movements reached Freire's chest, Frere grabbed Qingyue's wrist and signaled him to stop.He looked into Qingyue's eyes, which were so bright and charming that one couldn't take his eyes off them.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that I fell a little bored just now, and I didn't react."

"Maybe you should lie on the hospital bed and say this to me after your hands and feet are broken and your ligaments are broken!"

Obviously he was uttering harsh words, but Freire couldn't help laughing out loud, and he didn't intend to stop at all. He had to laugh so much that he pulled to the place where he fell just now, and gasped in pain before he stopped.

After a long time, Freire looked at the ceiling of the ice rink and said, "Qingyue..."

Qing Yue: "En?"

Freire: "You have already seen that there is something wrong with my take-off node?"

Qing Yue "Well..."

Frere: "Then why don't you say it during the day?"

Qing Yue: "Your coach didn't find the problem, but I, who was in the same period as you, did. How can you ask him to be your coach in the future?"

Frere: "Then...why didn't you ask me to stay with you after training?"

Qing Yue: "How do I know that the ice rink staff won't tell your coach this?"

Qing Yue's words completely blocked Freire, and also made him laugh blankly.

Finally understood the crux of his quadruple jump that has not been able to perform stably. Freire expressed that he was very happy and excited, and said that he would not sleep today.Not only that, but Freire insisted on getting Qing Yue to be with him.This made Qing Yue's plan to go home and sleep as soon as possible after solving the problem was completely ruined.

After tossing and tossing for most of the night, these two good boys who have always made parents, teachers and coaches worry-free seem to have broken out the rebellious elements in their personalities this night.In the middle of the night, I frantically raided the 24-hour convenience store. After buying a lot of food and drinks, I said on a whim that I wanted to go to the beach to watch the sunrise.Passing through the luxury villa area where Frere's family is located, Frere actually turned back halfway because he wanted to take out the acoustic guitar, ran back and ran out in a thrilling manner.

The two ran to the edge of the beach in the dark, listening to the sound of the tide, while waiting for the first ray of light to appear from the other side of the sea level, and their mood has never been so peaceful.

While waiting, Qing Yue took out a can of drink from the shopping bag, pulled the tab, took a long gulp without seeing what it was, and almost spit it out after tasting the choking smell of wine.After swallowing it with difficulty, a sense of dizziness came to my head.It's just that today...it's really crazy.

However, at this moment, Freire took out the acoustic guitar that had just made him turn back halfway, and after trying a few notes, he began a series of complicated melodies. The transparent strings flow at the fingertips, making people want to close their eyes and listen quietly.

"Boom"

It was the sound of Qing Yue falling on Frere's shoulder, which surprised Frere and caused the string to pause briefly.After smelling the fruity wine, he asked hesitantly, "Have you been drinking?", and got an inaudible answer from the other party.

"You...you play the guitar beautifully. Search engines say..."

"I'm right by your side, just ask me if you have any questions, don't always go to the search engine, it's all scribbled."

Amidst the sound of the sea tide and the sound of plucking the strings, Qing Yue suddenly thought of something and said, which made Freire laugh.

"Then...guitar, piano or violin, which one are you better at?"

"It should be the acoustic guitar. Because among the three instruments, my favorite is the acoustic guitar. The earliest I learned was also the acoustic guitar. I learned the piano because I wanted to help my mother accompany her when she practiced the opera. Practice the violin... It’s because of being competitive. Only the acoustic guitar is learned because of pure love.”

"Struggle to win? You also have times when you need to...stretch to win?"

Freire nodded, but the fingers that were plucking the strings quickly did not stop.After recalling for a moment, he opened up the chatterbox.

"That was after I entered the Plandon National Academy of Music. Although I had gradually shown my skills in international figure skating competitions at that time, I did not spend all my time skating like other figure skaters. I still insist on my studies, and never stop practicing acoustic guitar and piano.

I admit that my experience from childhood to adulthood has given me a...very strong sense of superiority in music.Although I don't think I'm as good as the professors praised, I don't allow myself to lose to any children who are at the same time as me.So, when the professors compared me with Carlos, who was called a musical prodigy who entered the school after me, and thought that Carlos was the better between the two of us, I was determined to win him. "

"and then?"

The waves hit the shore wave after wave, moving towards the reassuring music.Feeling a little tired from not sleeping all night, Qingyue lapped his knees and pillowed his side face on it, listening to Freire's voice that was even more charming against the background of the sea tide.It seems that as long as the sound of the sea tide and Freire's sound continue like this, he can stay here forever...

"Then, I started to learn the violin because that's Carlos' best instrument. And because... I wanted to beat him with his best instrument and prove to everyone that I was the better player." The one that belonged to me. Thinking about it now, the stubbornness at that time was really naive."

"No, sometimes we need to be stubborn."

"Oh?"

"Because... a lot of times, we know like everyone that some things are impossible. But stubbornness can help us continue. It's not kidding ourselves, it's just because we want to keep going down that road, No matter how it ends."
