Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

"Excuse me... are you Qing Yue?"

The person who came was a cute-looking girl with short hair, holding a beautiful bouquet of violets.Beside her, there were three or four people.Their appearance made Qing Yue a little surprised, but he didn't show this emotion.He took off his sunglasses and looked at the girls.

"Yes, I am Qing Yue."

As soon as these words came out, the girls cheered immediately, and the girls beside the short-haired girl hurriedly shouted something in the distance, telling their companions who came with them to come over quickly.As a result, about seven or eight people rushed over from a distance immediately.This situation made Qing Yue almost at a loss, and even failed to react from this situation, so he could only continue to smile.

"I, we are your ice fans! Because I don't know your flight number, I only know that you will arrive this afternoon, so I can't be sure which passage you will come out from."

Several female ice fans who ran all the way from a long way said out of breath.Seeing Qing Yue's smile, they were incoherently happy.

"Here are flowers for you! Can you, can you sign us?"

"sure."

"Then... can you take a photo with us then?"

"No problem at all."

The words of those ice fans made Qing Yue couldn't help chuckling.The scene in front of him reminded him of the time when he was coerced and lured by the girls in the school to ask Chu Xuan for his autograph and signed photos before he participated in the Xishu National Championships.But now, the screens are rotated, and the ice fans in front of them no longer come here just to ask for other people's autographs.They came to the airport from afar on weekday afternoons just for him.

Such a change made Qing Yue couldn't help laughing. He took the autographs handed over by female ice fans, and was about to sign his name for them, but found an extremely serious problem: he didn't have the habit of carrying a signature pen with him!

So Qing Yue stiffened his body, raised his head slowly, saw the expectant eyes of ice fans, then lowered his head to look at the signature version, raised his head again, lowered his head again, and so on, and finally said aggrievedly: "I... I don't have a signature pen..."

Such words made the expressions of those ice fans dull for a moment, and made Qing Yue scratch his head in embarrassment, "Well... I, I will ask my friend, he should bring it. Wait for me ah!"

Saying that, Qing Yue abandoned the luggage cart and ran towards Alek's direction.At this moment, Alek was surrounded by a layer of reporters inside and a layer of ice fans outside, walking slowly.But he would still pay attention to Qing Yue's situation all the time, but saw Qing Yue actually running towards him.

"Alek, do you have a spare autograph pen? Can you lend me one?"

After finding out what happened to Qingyue, Alek smiled noncommittally, took out a signature pen from his pocket, and threw it towards Qingyue in an extremely chic gesture.After jumping up, Qing Yue accurately caught the signature pen thrown from Alek, nodded heavily at him, then turned and ran back to the fans who were waiting for him.

This situation shocked the two groups of people surrounding Qingyue and Alek.Who is Alek, a player with a paralyzed face since he transferred to the adult group.Of course, his paralyzed face not only made the Jia National Ice Association praise him, saying that he is young, mature and very stable, but also made many female ice fans fall in love with him.

And now, Alek actually laughed!Alek, who was unsmiling in the greeting after the game, actually smiled!So a burst of flashlights shot at Alek with wild flashes.Even if it is Alek, it is inevitable that it will be a bit difficult to deal with such an intensity of the flash attack. "Who is that person?"

The ice fans who came to pick up the plane just for Alek asked each other without any doubts.Their doubts were also in the minds of some reporters who initially regarded Qing Yue as Alek's assistant.

"He looks so familiar."

"Yes, it looks familiar. But... I just can't remember it."

After the two ice fans said these words, the other ice fans around the periphery also scratched their heads and thought.Not long after, a male ice fan said disapprovingly: "Isn't that the last person to appear in this promotional video of COI?"

"Qingyue from Xishu? But shouldn't the relationship between the two of them be very tense?"

The conversation of those ice fans made a reporter who couldn't squeeze into the first layer of encirclement doubtfully underestimate, and then looked in the direction of Qingyue.

I saw several ice fans excitedly vying to take a photo with Qingyue. At first, they were a little timid and cautiously stood beside Qingyue to take a photo with him.Later, Jian Qingyue came alone, and he was still so easy-going.Several ice fans became bolder, among them, the short-haired girl who spoke to Qing Yue first even threw herself into Qing Yue's arms, kissed Qing Yue's cheek mischievously, which made Qing Yue feel overwhelmed. I was taken aback.

After taking such a photo, the short-haired girl grabbed her hair in embarrassment, stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "You look smaller than the one on TV, and your skin is super good!"

"Thank you..." Hearing such praise, Qing Yue couldn't help feeling suspicious, is this really a compliment to me...

When the girl next to her heard what the short-haired girl said, she immediately patted her on the head, grinned and said, "What are you talking about? Qing Yue is only 17 years old this year, okay?" Live apologetically.

"We watched this World Championships very seriously. Although you didn't win a medal, we think your skating is really good!"

There were other girls rushing to talk like this, which made Qingyue show an astonishing smile.

At this moment, Alek, who was surrounded by people, suddenly rushed out of the siege, ran to Qing Yue's side, and grabbed Qing Yue's arm.

"Let's go." After saying this to Qingyue, Alek looked at the ice fans surrounding Qingyue again, "I'm sorry, we have to go back to the hotel in a hurry to meet other members who participated in this COI tour .So maybe we should go."

After finishing speaking, Alek dragged Qing Yue to his luggage trolley, said "follow me closely", and then walked quickly towards the exit of the airport, leaving behind a group of stunned people.Qing Yue, who was on the side, followed Alek quickly, and turned his head to show a "sorry" expression to the ice fans who came to pick up the plane.

When they arrived at the gate of the airport, the two quickly stopped a car and drove to the hotel reserved by COI for the tour participants.The two sat together in the back seat of the taxi.

"When you meet such an ice fan in the future, you can take the initiative to put your arm gently on her shoulder. In this way, it is impossible for her to pounce on you and hug you."

Alek said this to Qing Yue, which made Qing Yue embarrassed for a while. He lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "It's not easy for them to come to pick up the plane once, so...don't worry too much about it."

Qingyue's words made Alek silent.After a long time, he sighed, looking very helpless.Qing Yue turned to look at Alek's profile again.His facial features are very deep, coupled with the rigid but restrained and domineering aura exuded from his whole body, it makes him have a different kind of attractiveness.Qingyue's gaze made Alek turn his head to look at him in doubt, as if asking Qingyue if he had anything to say to him.But Qing Yue abruptly withdrew his gaze, lowered his face and shook his head.Then, he turned his gaze out of the window, his eyes blurred.

It's been a year since the World Youth Championship...

One year is enough time for the world ice world to undergo earth-shaking changes.Freire, who became famous after winning Olympic medals two years ago, was overtaken by the steadily improving Alek because of his inconsistent performance in the game.

Apart from Alek and Freire, who have been on the podium for two years, a group of promising men's singles players of the new generation have emerged from all over the world.This group of newcomers in Xishu is headed by Qing Yue and Chu Xuan.The Xishu Ice Association, which has been facing the Jiaguo Ice Association for many years, is eager to train Qingyue and Chu Xuanzhong into the world's top figure skaters who can compete with Alec, so as to restore their decline in the world ice. status.

But after all, Chu Xuan is two years younger than Alek, and Qing Yue is three years younger than Alek. The two have not even reached the golden age of figure skaters. In terms of physical strength, technical maturity, competition experience and even Even in terms of ice learning time, it can't be compared with Alek at all.However, the Xishu Ice Association deliberately ignored such an important issue and blindly placed too high expectations on the two of them.In this way, the results they will reap can be imagined.

Qing Yue and Chu Xuan both returned without a card in this year's World Championships.This made the Xishu Ice Association, who had been promoting the two in the media before the game, as if they had been slapped twice in front of everyone, and their attitude towards the two would naturally be different from before.In comparison, Chu Xuan's situation is even better.Although he won the national championship in Xishu, Qingyue's legendary experience won him more favor.

【Save the Miracle on Ice of the Fallen Era】

【The only jumping genius since Naxiu】

Such articles and special reports once bombarded the public's attention before the start of the World Championships, making Qing Yue, who has always been very low-key, nervous and insomnia.

It is conceivable how disappointed the public would be when the news of Qingyue Shijin's failure came.But... In this World Championships, Qing Yue's performance was not considered a failure, he just performed at his normal level.We couldn't have expected more from a boy who had only been learning ice for four years.However, the public has ignored this point due to the guidance of the media, which made this too young figure skater feel pressure...

After about five or ten minutes, the taxi taken by Qingyue and Alek finally arrived at the destination, the hotel where the members of the COI tour team stayed.And before that, Qing Yue had already sent a text message to Charman, who he met in Planden because of Freire's relationship.

As a very popular active ice dancer in Planden, Charman and his partner Eva also received the invitation from COI, just like in previous years.

Due to Qingyue's advance notice, these two friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time were already waiting in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel before Qingyue and Alek entered the hotel.So, when Aiwa saw Qingyue's figure, she rushed out immediately, hugging Qingyue happily.Or in other words, she bumped headfirst into Qing Yue's body.

Charman, who came to the lobby with Eva, also stood up from the sofa, walked toward Qingyue, and said to Qingyue in a good mood, "Long time no see."

Seeing Charman's baby face that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, Qing Yue couldn't help smiling and replied "Long time no see".It was a familiar yet strange feeling.It was as if...they were back in Plandon a year ago.
