Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

These words completely inconsistent with the Qing Yue that Freyer usually saw made him stop the strings, and turned to look at Qing Yue, only to see that the other party raised his face, but turned his gaze away from him , and turned to look in the direction of the tide.

"I... met Naxiu when I was 13 years old. Before that, our family kept moving because of my father's work, and I often changed schools. There are children of my age in the school. The small group that plays together on a regular basis is only me... I have always been alone. Finally, I have a friend who accepts me, and I have to transfer again.

When I was 12 years old, my father finally announced to us happily that the place we moved this time will be the place where we will always live in the future.We... will never move again.We are all very happy, and I am also working very hard to let the new classmates accept me quickly.

But... a senior from the high school hates me because he thinks I'm not... not strong enough.Because of this, the other boys in the school didn't want to play with me anymore.Mother was very worried when she found out.At that time, the family was not rich, but my mother bought me a set of ski equipment because the boys in the town liked to ski, and she hoped that I could go with them.

I... also want to play with everyone, so I worked hard to learn to ski.After this... everyone began to accept me slowly, and even... the senior who hated me before became good friends with me.But one day, I saw Naxiu's figure skating.I found out that's what I really like, and I even feel like... I came into this world to skate like Nashu. "

Qing Yue paused for a while, sighed, and smiled: "I... spent a long time working part-time, trying to save enough money to buy a pair of skates. At that time, I didn't know that skates were so expensive Yes. I thought buying a pair of promotional skates at the door would allow me to do five or even six axels.”

Having said that, Qing Yue turned his head to look at Freire, and smiled at him for being young and ignorant, and managed to make the other party laugh with him.

"In the end, it was Naxiu who asked me to work with him, and promised me a pair of skates as soon as I worked for three months. After a long time like this, the senior who hated me at first but became my best friend later, he Finally back in town. I told him, I seem to have found something I really like. I... want to skate really well."

The boy's refreshing voice stopped.He was just in a daze, staring blankly at the unreal ocean waves under the darkness.The boy sitting next to him didn't make a sound to disturb, but just listened carefully, and when he stopped, he plucked the strings again, until the boy spoke again.But the boy's voice did not sound again, but continued the silence.

"and then?"

"No then."

At this moment, the boy lied to the people around him.What he didn't say was the words he wanted to forget and never forget.

[Really like doing crappy ballet on ice like a sissy? ! 】【good!That being the case, from today onwards, I will not have you as a friend.Goodbye, the boy who suddenly wanted to learn figure skating at the age of 13! 】【You started too late, it is impossible to achieve results. 】Although he has now become a hot new star in the world ice circle, even though he won the World Junior Championships in the season that just ended, and showed the world a wonderful quadruple jump.

But those initial injuries can't erase the traces that once existed, and even... they follow like a nightmare.Even though he doesn't think about it, even though he wants to forget, even though...he and Le Sheng have reconciled as before.However, he couldn't help but...don't mind those words.

When he watched the skating and footwork of the world's top figure skaters from the stands of the World Championships, he would think of that last sentence.When he practiced hard on the basics of skating on the ice rink but couldn't do it, he would think of the last sentence.When he is ridiculed by critics for his poor foundation, he will also think of that sentence...

However, he has already won the World Youth Championship.Why... can't forget it.

"Actually, I...I envy you very much."

Hearing Qing Yue's words, Freire smiled noncommittally.He stopped plucking the strings and listened quietly to Qing Yue's words.

"You have a lot of things besides figure skating. Acoustic guitar, piano, violin, flamenco, and modern dance. You even finished college. Even if you don't skate anymore, you can still do it. many things.

But I am not.From the time I started figure skating, I felt like... I was probably born for figure skating, and every second I spend not skating is a waste of my life.I risked everything on skating, almost all my time, almost all my friends... I even gave up the chance to go to a regular high school.But one serious injury can ruin it all.I don't even know, if one day I can't skate, what else can I do..."

Amidst the sound of the sea tide and the occasional chords, Qing Yue gradually expressed the deep worries that had been hidden in his heart and had never been shared with others.He is more eager than anyone to show what he can do, and he is more afraid than anyone that he will lose a season.It's not the rush that people say, but the anxiety that has been there ever since he was determined to make his name on the world ice, and... an indescribable sense of urgency.

At the age of 17, Naxiu has become an unforgettable legend for 20 years.

So what about him?How many years will it take for the soon to be 17-year-old to reach those heights?How many years did he have left for him to do this?

The first ray of light in the morning had already risen from the sea level, and Freire turned his head to look at Qing Yue who had talked to him a lot today, only to find that the other party was already asleep and breathing deeply.He hastily put away the guitar lightly, and after confirming that the other party was really asleep, he carefully embraced the other party on his body, letting him lie in his arms and sleep more comfortably.

After doing this, Freire carefully described the other party's delicate facial features with his eyes, and sighed softly.

He wanted to say some words, but finally chose to remain silent.

"You will find it, and if one day you really can't continue skating, you will definitely find another life that makes you happy, not just living for skating. If you are lost, then, I will help you find..."

Not saying it to the boy around him is not because he doesn't know whether he can really do it, nor is it because he is worried that he will be bound by the promise, but just because he has not yet done it.But, if one day, he really does it, he will definitely remember to tell Qingyue that when he made this decision, the sky was bright and the sound of the tide was beautiful.And you lay in my arms and fell asleep quietly...

In the season a year later, Qing Yue headed straight for the national championship medal.

"If you are worried that the Ice Association will repeat the old trick next year and send you to the World Youth Championship instead of letting you participate in the World Championships, won't it be enough for you to get first? They can't let the national champion pass the Youth Championship, right?" ——This is what Frere said to Qing Yue when he left Plandon.

At that time, Qingyue and Freire looked at each other with a tacit smile, nodded slowly to each other and left.

However, one year later, at the Xishu National Championships, Qingyue's way to win the championship was blocked by Chu Xuan.At that time, Chu Xuan’s post-match speech in front of the media was: “Want to step on me? It’s not that easy.”

At that time, Chu Xuan was as dazzling as his name.Although he didn't explain it, what he meant was quite clear.The confrontation between Chu Xuan and Qing Yue in Xishu had begun to take shape in that year, and the two started a six-year confrontation on the ice rink since then.The names of Chu Xuan and Qing Yue are closely linked in the Xishu figure skating world.No matter how the media leads them, that can't change the fact that the two of them together dominated the figure skating world of Xishu for six years.

In Xishu, as long as these two are competing, the other contestants will always have to fight to the death for the third place, and the third person will never be able to touch the corners of their clothes no matter what.

But their journey to the World Championships was not all smooth sailing. In the second year after the World Youth Championship, Chu Xuan and 17-year-old Qing Yue won the medals of the World Championships respectively as the champion and runner-up of the Xishu National Championships. .Both Qingyue and Chu Xuan, who were mediocre that year, were stopped by Freire, Alek, and some famous players from various countries who were active in the world ice circle.The two returned without a license.

At that time, Freire waved to Qing Yue and said, "Come again next year, Qing Yue, it is not so easy to be a world champion."

Yes, that year... Both Qing Yue and Chu Xuan were still very young, and they still had a lot of time to beat these top ice players in the world, become part of them, and even... replace them.
