Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

"You... have you ever thought... one day we will replace our country on the world stage and perform for more people?"

When changing into the ski equipment, Le Sheng said these words without knowing how to speak, and there was a longing in his eyes that Qing Yue couldn't understand at this time, which made him turn his head to look at the other party in confusion .Seeing Qingyue like this, Le Sheng smiled dotingly and rubbed his head, before he was about to say something, he was interrupted by other companions who rushed over.Then, the group of boys who hadn't been together for a long time rushed down from the hillside where they were.

It was a dangerous slope where Qingyue and Lesheng didn't know each other. After a series of steep slopes with different slopes, they would rush to the dense pine forest.Le Sheng, who had changed into a snowboard, stepped on the new equipment amidst the booing of all his partners, and rushed straight down with his calf.He constantly changed his movements on the snow surface with a large downward slope, splashed the residual snow, and slid out an amazing curved track, showing his learning achievements in the past six months.

All of a sudden, Le Sheng rushed towards an upward slope, relying on the strength gained from the previous acceleration, he did a sideways flip for two and a half weeks that looked extremely easy, and then landed firmly.This caused a series of exclamations. Seeing this scene, several boys with good skills were gearing up to get ready to start their downhill...

There were strange screams, loud laughter, and the sound of the skateboard sliding on the snow.Everyone walked along the irregular curved path, showing off their respective skills, shouting a few words to their companions not far away from time to time, surpassing each other, and experiencing the extreme excitement.

As one of the core figures of this small group, Qing Yue rushed to the front of the team together with Le Sheng who put on a snowboard.But today Qing Yue looks a little different from usual.It seemed that he couldn't keep up with Le Sheng at all, and he didn't have the relaxed look he had when he was skiing the year before. He just struggled to follow the first group that charged.When entering the pine forest, he didn't even turn around in a hurry, and almost bumped into a tree trunk for a moment.

After dodging in a dangerous way, he saw Le Sheng's thoughtful eyes not far away.Qing Yue put his hands on his knees and took a few breaths, then grinned and waved to Le Sheng broadly, indicating that he was fine, but he never thought that Le Sheng would actually hold the skis under his arm with one hand and then walk towards him and drag them up. people leave.He signaled to the skiing partners to let them go first, and he dragged Qing Yue all the way to the area that their skiing route did not pass.

"Le Sheng?"

"You...what's the matter...? Why did your skiing skills degrade so much? If you haven't skied for half a year, you can degrade so much? If this is really the case, I have to make up for you this year, and you can't relax after the beginning of spring. When I come down, I have to find a place to ski regularly."

"Really...regressed so much?"

"Yes! You have regressed seriously! You must have not practiced the basic movements of skiing at home as I said! It's okay to be unfamiliar, but you have even changed your skiing posture to a certain extent, which is much more troublesome than becoming unfamiliar with your skills. I have to practice hard this winter before I can come back. Damn it! I have only been away for half a year, why did you do this? I originally wanted to take you to practice snowboarding this year, but now... Forget it! You Just practice the veneer directly for me, at worst, I will put you back into the furnace to practice again!"

Seeing Le Sheng's headache was about to explode, Qing Yue couldn't help laughing, and when Le Sheng saw it, he pressed his head and ravaged him with anger.He hugged his head and was pushed into the snow. After rolling several times with difficulty, he struggled to get up.

"I think... the change in posture may be because I have been practicing figure skating recently? Actually, it is not considered recent, and I have practiced for more than half a year. However, I will work hard in skiing and will continue to practice without slack. return."

Qing Yue managed to take pictures of the snow on his hair, but after saying this, he found that Le Sheng was completely stunned.

"What did you say...? You... you actually went to learn figure skating!?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"No! Don't learn! Stop figure skating practice and lessons immediately!"

"Y-but...why?"

"Fucking figure skating! Don't you understand? Figure skating is obviously only a sissy sport! When I first met you I didn't like you or even hated you because you looked more like A delicate little girl instead of a courageous and responsible man! I didn’t completely change my opinion of you until you told me with your skis that you are a courageous and admirable man, but now...you actually tell me Me, are you going to learn that!?

I order you to stop all affairs related to figure skating immediately!Practice skiing with me every day from today, there are still two months until the regional trials, I will ask my coach to take you with me!When the time comes, the two of us will enter the regional team together!Except you... no one has this qualification! "

"Do not……"

Hearing Le Sheng's words, Qing Yue opened his eyes wide in disbelief and took a step back.After saying this, he lowered his head and thought for a long time before hesitantly said: "I... like figure skating, I like it very much. I used to think that what I liked was skiing. But then I realized that it is not like that. Playing Skiing...in the beginning it was to prove myself, and later on...I just liked being with people. But now...I think I have found what I really like."

"What do you really like!? So you're trying to tell me that my best friend, the only one who admits, all he really likes is dancing crappy ballet on ice like a sissy!?"

Le Sheng thought that he was probably mad with anger to say such fierce words.When he heard Qingyue say that he likes figure skating, he was angry, but he wanted to bring Qingyue back and bring him back to their skiing world.But he never expected that Qingyue, whom he has always taken care of as his younger brother, would be indifferent to what he said, refused to hold his hand, and even... said with that expression that he likes figure skating and Not skiing.

what is this?What was the time when they had been so happy skiing together?Such thoughts invaded Le Sheng's brain, causing him an indescribable... feeling of being betrayed.This prompted him to say such a sentence: "Okay! If this is the case, from today onwards, I will not have you as a friend. Goodbye, the boy who suddenly wanted to practice figure skating at the age of 13!"

Le Sheng's cold snort and contemptuous look before turning around made Qing Yue's slightly thin body tremble suddenly, his eyes were full of disbelief.He just stared blankly at the direction Le Sheng left.At a loss, he leaned against a tall pine tree and sat down slowly, unable to recover for a long time.

[Then you're trying to tell me that my best friend, the only one who admits, all he really likes is dancing crappy ballet on ice like a sissy! ? ] Le Sheng would never know how much an unintentional remark he said out of anger when he was young would have an impact on the heart of this overly delicate boy.And this sentence...became a lingering demon in the future, holding Qing Yue tightly, making him unable to breathe.

Even if he said "never regret it" when he parted, it still couldn't change his inner self-blame.And that kind of self-blame...the more you grow up, the more you can't get rid of it.Every time I see that slender boy who has a strong will to protect himself smiling under the flashlight, lowering his eyes and walking towards the ice under sharp questions and malicious comments, his chest hurts...

But now, only then.

Since Le Sheng left angrily that day, the days in the school have also become different from the calmness of the past.Everyone saw that Qingyue and Lesheng, who were once so close, became strangers within a few days.From appearing almost at the same time all of a sudden to seeing each other without talking.This made the boys dumbfounded and surprised the girls.

The boys who were skiing together were even more confused.I only know that Le Sheng picked up Qing Yue to go skiing together with his sledge the day before, but the next day he suddenly couldn't hear Qing Yue's name.Ask him what happened, but get no answer, he just frowned and didn't speak.Even when Qing Yue appeared in front of him again with ski equipment in his arms, Le Sheng treated him like air and completely ignored him.

Every time the other boys saw Qing wanting to go up to say hello, they would be stared back by Le Sheng.After a few visits, everyone can only act according to the face of the boss Le Sheng.Cautious, hesitating to speak, unable to bear it, but there is nothing to do.

In this way, Qing Yue gradually faded out of the small skiing group, and no longer appeared in their sight in skiing suits.The relationship between him and Le Sheng became increasingly estranged until he became a complete... stranger.Le Sheng is still the king of kids at school. Every morning when he receives three love letters, he will laugh heartily and loudly, show off his snowboarding skills in front of his admirers, and still be surrounded by his younger brothers appeared in front of the crowd.

But Qingyue...is no longer the same as before.Supporters who are accustomed to following his figure with their eyes will find that the pretty boy who always appears with Le Sheng has no longer found it difficult to find him outside of class.If you find him and say hello to him, he will still smile, but that smile... seems to have quietly changed.

Soon after, Le Sheng was selected to go to the regional snowboarding team, and news came that he was about to leave the town...
