As for Qingyue, although he is still a young athlete who has only studied figure skating for five years, he has already won the second place in the National Championships in Xishu, and he performed well in the just-concluded World Championships !So, what kind of surprise will Qing Yue, who inherited the name of Na Xiu's jumping genius, bring us?Let us wait and see!Please take a look at the performance skate brought to us by Qingyue——Lucia of Lammermore! ] The host's excited voice rang out from the broadcast.What's more, Qing Yue's game in the just-concluded season and his victory in the last World Youth Championship appeared on the big screen in the arena.

The juvenile's soft and powerful performance and refreshing delicate face made the audience look forward to it. At this moment, all the lights in the ice rink were dimmed.However, the next moment, a ray of lonely light hit a slender figure in a large medieval cloak.And slowly follow that figure as it slides into the ice rink.The wide pocket makes it difficult to see the performer's face clearly.But every subtle movement of the performer on the ice, even the simplest skating, makes people want to see him more clearly.

The young man held the candlestick in his hand, showing caution in every move. He used the palm of his hand to block the lighted candle from the wind that almost blew out its swaying flame, and the soft flute sound gradually played a beautiful melody at this time. It seemed that he didn't want to disturb his soft voice.When the boy put the lit incense candle in the middle of the ice rink, an ethereal and melancholy singing sounded.

Ildolcesuonomicolpidisuavoce!

How his sweet voice fascinated me!

Ah, quella vocem' equinel cordis cesa!

Ah, the sweet voice resounds in my heart!

Edgardo! iotisonresa, Edgardo, mio!

Edgardo, I belong to you again, my Edgardo!

fuggitaiosondetuoinemici!

I escape from the clutches of your enemies!

Si, tisonreso!

I belong to you again!

When the lyrics were sung, the boy slowly pulled down his hood, revealing his amazing face.Everyone has always only known that Qing Yue is a boy with a very handsome appearance and delicate face, which makes people feel very fresh.But his make-up today... was astonishing, and it was almost impossible to recognize him.

It was a bold makeup look, a beautiful paint that started from his eyes and extended to the end of the eyes.It was a bright color painting that gently adhered to the skin, it seemed to be surrounded by petals, and it seemed to be the call from the other shore.His eyes have such amazing paint outwards, yet they're not exactly symmetrical.In stark contrast to the colorful painting... his bloodless lips and almost pale face.

However, that does not detract from the...beautiful enjoyment he brought to the audience.However, it is not so much that the feeling he brings to people is coquettish, or that it is a ghostly feeling that reveals a sense of splendor.Such a ghostly feeling slowly spread the coldness to the silent auditorium in the special fog in the ice rink.

When the brilliance in the eyes of the young man flows, what kind of elegance is that.But... Anxiety and sadness are naturally revealed from his gestures.That was a different way of performance from every figure skater who appeared on the stage before. He didn't seem to see the audience in the auditorium, but was just immersed in his own world, immersed in... the share that almost overwhelmed his In the entanglement of mentally crushed reality and fond memories.

The broad cloak billowed from the boy's gliding motion and series of footwork, revealing the performance costume, which was predominantly white with disturbing scarlet accents.The boy's classical and melancholy temperament, which seems to be natural on the ice, is integrated with the sad singing.

Ildolcesuonomicolpidisuavoce!

How his sweet voice fascinated me!

A fateful encounter made him fall in love with a family feud.The elder brother killed the lover's father and expelled the lover from his home.But that encounter, that pure love made the lover give up the hatred willingly.That kind of love is both pure and hard to destroy.But their future is as uncertain as the flame on a joss stick...

The young man started his movements from the center of the ice rink where the candlestick was located, and showed the whole court near the edge of the ice rink with a big step, so that almost every spectator sitting in the front row could see his face and subtle facial expressions.

It was originally tender and soothing music, but the special treatment of the coloratura soprano made a kind of ghost follow, and the violin's rhythmic string sound seemed to never be able to get rid of it.

He stopped skating suddenly, holding up the spring water with sorrow on his brow.

Whenever the moonlight shines on the spring water at midnight, it seems to be able to hear the groans of the undead, as if inviting him to disappear.He backed away in shock, only to find that the spring water seemed to have turned red... Was that foretelling his future fate?

It wasn't long before the performance started, and the boy only showed a few footwork and a few simple dance moves, but his performance... could arouse the hearts of the audience.Everyone couldn't help but focus on the performer in the field, holding his breath and sitting up straight and looking at him... as if the sound of a slightly loud breathing would startle every inch of the body, showing just the right amount of restlessness. skater...

Ah, quella vocem' equinel cordis cesa!

Ah, the sweet voice resounds in my heart!

However, the lover who stayed for him will eventually leave for his political mission.The arrival that only he knows about, the departure that only he knows...Because of love, the lover let go of hatred for her.Because of love, they exchanged rings as a proof of never betrayal.

But now, the ring is still on his finger, but the lover who is gone... Where are you?

The boy turned his wrist with a series of complicated movements, making people's eyes shift along with his slender fingers. The whole arm stretched upwards along with the movement of the wrist, and finally it was fixed at an angle full of beauty.An inconspicuous ring looks so dazzling under the beam of light.

The boy stretched out his other hand, and tremblingly caressed the ring on his right hand following his weeping breath.However, the singing that seemed to come from an unknown distance stopped at this moment.The young man slowly withdrew his hands. After a few soft but powerful movements, the young man made a movement of his right hand, causing the palm to turn outward, blocking the front of the eyes, and slowly moved from left to right.The colorful paintings that made it look more beautiful under the changing lights slowly appeared in everyone's sight after being blocked.

However... the hesitant and restless eyes disappeared.When those bright eyes opened again, it became the last omen before madness...

Yes, the elder brother wanted to marry him to someone else for his own benefit.He was so pressing every step of the way that the boy couldn't retreat... The creepy paleness covered his face, the hatred for his brother and the pain that tormented his heart made him unable to control himself, and even...unsteady Stay in shape.

The young man stepped on the ice blade and staggered back. He tightly held the right hand wearing the ring given by his lover, closed his eyes in pain, and slid backwards. After a spin, the body leaned back to lift the blade rotate.The emotions, the music, and the words of the lyrics are matched impartially, and the extremely subtle performance almost hangs the hearts of all the viewers tightly, and they can't take their eyes off.

Not only the audience at the scene, but the other contestants who were preparing in the background looked out curiously at first because of the silence outside the arena, but in the end, because of Qingyue's uniqueness from other people, they completely integrated their emotions into the music and the story. I was amazed by the performance in the movie.

Qingyue... Even in the twirling of changing postures, he did not lose control of his expression and his emotions.Or... It's not so much that he didn't lose control of his expressions and emotions, it's better to say that he fell into the story depicted by the music from the very beginning, as if he had really become the protagonist in that tragic story, feeling her... Every trace of emotion, pain, uneasiness, hatred, unwillingness, and even... crazy killing intent.

For those ice dancers who are particularly sensitive, Eva even tightly grasped Charman's arm, just because she was caught by Qing Yue's inadvertent body movements and emotions expressed by her facial expressions, even by her thin body. I was shocked by the sadness... that was integrated with the music.It is a force that strangles you like a shadow.It makes you empathize with his emotions, his pain, his unwillingness and resentment, and you are terrified, but you can't look away...

"This...is really Qing Yue?"

Eva made a weak voice that was almost breathless, and asked Charlene beside her in disbelief.Although the 22-year-old experienced ice dancer has a baby face, he hid in the background without blinking and looked at Qing Yue, who was performing in the ice rink. .However, it's really surprising... I didn't expect that other than Frere, there would be anyone else in the men's singles who could do this."

Chu Xuan, who was standing not far away, was very puzzled when he heard this, but when he wanted to say something, he saw that Alek, who had always spoken little, spoke before him.

"How about Qingyue, what about Freire?"

Hearing Alek's voice, Charman was more surprised than Chu Xuan.Just like them, those who value the artistic expression in figure skating look down on a purely technical figure skater like Alek.A purely skilled figure skater like Alek also looks down on artistically expressive skaters represented by Frere.

The former believes that the opponent has lost the important part of figure skating, and only pure technical performance remains.The latter believes that the former cannot recognize the status quo clearly under the rule scoring system, and does not know how to make the best use of the rules, and those things they pay attention to... are simply dispensable in figure skating, and may even be caused by The resulting huge emotional ups and downs dragged down the necessary technical display.

They don't like each other, so they end up wearing a mask of modesty and politeness to cover it up.Usually, they seldom talk to each other. When necessary, they show a perfect smile and shake hands with each other in front of the media and the public to show friendship.But also because of their professionalism, the figure skaters of the two factions have almost never fought each other.None of them said anything, but everyone knew it clearly in their hearts.

However, at this moment, Alek, who has attracted much attention in the figure skating world because of his father's relationship since he was a child, and is very favored by the Jia National Ice Association, actually took the initiative to talk to Charman.This of course surprised him, and even puzzled him, but he was not stingy with enlightening him.Instead, he expressed his own opinion very pertinently.

"Do you have any special feelings when you see Qingyue's current performance? It's different from the previous figure skaters?"

Charman spoke with a slight smile, but Alek just stared at Qingyue in the field, silent for a long time.On the contrary, Chu Xuan, who had been listening to the conversation between the two of them, said hesitantly.

"I was surprised...I felt that person was not Qingyue. Although his footwork, spin, and even jumping, every habit of his on the ice made me feel very familiar, telling me that it was Qingyue. But...it makes me feel very strange."

Chu Xuan's words made Charman smile in agreement.

"Of course that person is not Qingyue now, but just the protagonist of this opera, Lucia."
