Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

"F, Frere...!"

Seeing someone who shouldn't be here, Qing Yue called out his name in surprise, causing all the cast and crew who were backstage at the moment to gather around.Everyone looked in shock at the rumored Frere, who proposed to someone present on TV last night.

Freire seemed to have been running for a long distance in a hurry, his chest heaving continuously due to the violent panting.When he saw Qing Yue's face covered in red ink, he was surprised at first, but he obviously immediately thought of what happened just now, so he couldn't restrain himself when he saw Qing Yue's face that didn't react at all after bumping into him. Laughed out loud.He wanted to wipe off some of the red ink on Qing Yue's face, but saw that his movements were blocked by a tall figure.That was Alek who was arranged by the COI tour team to appear at the finale.

That was the first time the two faced each other face to face.Although the two have been competing on the same stage in the world ice arena since three years ago, and they are also representatives of men's singles players who advocate artistic expression and technology in today's ice arena, but in retrospect, apart from the necessary press conference , the two seem to rarely appear together.Even the commercial show that gathered a large number of outstanding active figure skaters, Freire never appeared when Alek joined.

Therefore, everyone can't imagine what it would be like for these two people to face each other head-on.However, such a thing that has never happened after a long time of thinking, unexpectedly appeared in front of everyone in the backstage of the small performance.

At this time, it was the intermission time, and more and more people gathered around the small backstage, and Qing Yue, who was supposed to be caught between the two protagonists of the incident...but he didn't know when he played the role of his friend Chu Xuan. He has a good habit of crawling and escaping, and successfully escaped from the crowd again, and crawled to the corridor outside the backstage with props and candlesticks, and Nyolido appeared next to him at some point.

The powerful aura of the two top men's singles players in the world seemed to frighten this figure skater exclusively for COI, making him just squat on the edge of the corridor, looking at the backstage with Qing Yue from a distance. The situation, from time to time, you say something, and I comment on something in a word.It happened that Chu Xuan was running around shouting his name off-line to find the missing Qing Yue, so Qing Yue stretched out his hand without any expression change and dragged Chu Xuan down.Just like that, the three of them squatted in the corner together and watched the fierce situation over there seriously.

Niolido: "Qingyue, it is said that you and both of them are good friends?"

Qing Yue nodded his head.

Nyolido: "Then...have the two of them always been this scary?"

Qing Yue lowered his head solemnly.

Chu Xuan: "Qing Yue, didn't you say that Freire has a gentle personality and doesn't have the awareness of a big-name player at all?"

Qing Yue nodded his head.

Chu Xuan: "Then who is the guy who confronted Alec tit for tat and can scare people to death even without saying a word!!"

Qing Yuefu lowered his head solemnly.

Seeing that Qingyue looked at the two people in the center of the crowd in a state of entanglement that could not even speak, Chu Xuan exchanged views with Neolido who was next to Qingyue.

Chu Xuan: "Tell me, don't the aura of these two people seem strange? Although I felt it before. But... now it seems more than a little strange..."

Hearing Chu Xuan's words, Niolido felt the same, so he tentatively asked: "Is it a bit like... the jealousy of a rival in love...?"

"That's right! That's it!"

Deeply feeling that what Nyolido said was true, the two who had reached a consensus turned their heads and looked at Qingyue seriously and sincerely.This action made Chu Xuan get Qing Yue's murderous sight.Immediately afterwards, Qing Yue picked up his own prop candlestick, and slammed it on Chu Xuan's head, knocking it twice, knowing that all the white candles were broken, but Qing Yue still didn't stop.

While Qingyue knocked, Chu Xuan, who fell into an unreasonable hallucination, was still crying and howling, and grabbed Qingyue firmly and said: "Qingyue! Xiaoqing! Xiaoqingqing! You must not transfer your nationality! You transfer What can I do! How can you let me face the old men of the Ice Association alone! How can I face it!"

Chu Xuan's screams continued, and the knocking of the candlesticks continued, which made Niolido terrified.So Nyolido turned his head to look at the backstage where more and more people gathered, deeply feeling that the pressure was extremely huge...

Well, COI's tour has become even more exciting thanks to Freire's dramatic midway appearance.This is the first time the long-established Freire has joined COI on a commercial tour.Moreover, when he joined for the first time, he brought a great gift to COI that surprised everyone-Prandon's music prodigy, and Carlos' violin performance.

Carlos was granted the right to use the invaluable world-renowned violin-Mirdastan by the Plandon government not long ago, which can be described as dignified.And at this moment, Carlos and Freire appeared together on the stage of COI's commercial performance.In this way, it is not difficult to imagine how shocked and ecstatic the audience will be when they see the two.

Frere incorporated Carlos' violin playing into his own performance skate, and the perfect cooperation between the two surprised the audience.What's more, Freire and Alexa are not so much performing on the same stage, it is better to say that they are competing on the same stage in performance skating, which makes the audience hooked.

And one of the masterpieces of Qingyue's skating career, the impressive "Lucia de Lammermore" also appeared in front of the public for the first time on COI's tour this year.His unique performance style and precise emotional introduction made the audience shine and impressed.

Qingyue's excellent interpretation of this song won the praise of the song's singer Mia.In the same year, Qing Yue appeared in the MV of Mia's song of the same name, which attracted more people's attention to this young active figure skater.Qingyue's popularity rose to a new height this year, and the outside world nicknamed this boy with a particularly delicate and beautiful face "Lucia".

Of course, the person who called Qing Yue like this at the beginning did not have the slightest malice, and even just regarded "Lucia" as an intimate name.But as the image of Qingyue became more and more popular, some commentators began to use this title to ridicule Qingyue's too neutral personal style on ice.Whenever Qingyue was mentioned, he smiled ambiguously and said "Oh, that Lucia".

Indeed, compared to the two-time world champion Alek and the Olympic bronze medalist Freyer, who only won No.7 in the World Championship this season, Qingyue, who did not even qualify for the post-match performance, has gained now Fame and popularity have exceeded his achievements in the competition too much.

With too much fame over grades, he will naturally be poked at the spine by many conservative commentators.This is something that Qing Yue can't stop anyway.

So, I don't know when he started to get used to not paying attention to any reports about him.

Alek didn't pay attention to the reports about himself because he was so focused on skating that he had nothing else to do.

Frere didn't pay attention to those because he didn't want to lose himself in the compliments.

What about Qingyue?

Maybe it's because he finally discovered that the real self is only in his own heart, not in the mouths of others.

At this time, the outside world believed that Qing Yue was just a figure skater with great commercial value.So, can such a commercial figure skater win his own place in the world ice circle?Many people just laughed at this.Of course, some people also published long-winded arguments about Qingyue's absolute impossibility to win world-class medals, pros and cons, and received a lot of approval.

For a while, the voice of doubt became louder.

Of course, there are also many ice fans who have expressed their sincere wishes to Qingyue, hoping that he can go further and further in the world of figure skating.Chengqing is a genius rarely seen in a century.Since he can easily jump out of the quadruple jump after three years of learning to skate and win the World Youth Championship in one fell swoop, then he will definitely be able to win the Olympic gold medal.

Seeing this blessing, Qing Yue smiled noncommittally, not knowing whether it was self-deprecating or why.

When the tour ended, he took off his gorgeous performance clothes, left from the spotlight, and returned to the small town at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, and resumed almost the same hard training every day.

In order to be more physically active, Qing Yue never stopped running seven kilometers a day in the morning.

The physical training that can enhance the core energy of the body has never stopped.

Now he has been able to gradually understand from the expectant eyes that Naxiu looked at him... The reason why Naxiu trained and taught him so unrequitedly, maybe... it was just because Naxiu wanted to continue his life in him. Your unfulfilled dream.

Qingyue never imagined that he might surpass Naxiu one day.

But... He really longed for one day to be able to stand on the highest podium in the Olympic Games.

This is the picture that every skater has dreamed about.

Twenty years ago, Naxiu had a dream, Sauron had a dream, and finally turned it into reality.

Today, Freire, Alek, Qing Yue, and many others are also having such dreams.

For such a dream, they will do everything they can.

For such a dream, they devote the most precious and wonderful time of a person's life to the ice rink.

Blooming their most dazzling brilliance.

At this moment, both Plandon and Jiaguo released shocking news to all the men's singles players - Freire and Alek both decided to give up the season before the Olympic year, and will not Will participate in the new season of the World Championships.

As soon as this news came out, a group of men's singles players who were unlikely to win a medal in the World Championships immediately started to move.

The two top men's singles players who compete for the championship in the World Championships every year have both withdrawn from the upcoming new season.What kind of undercurrent and turbulence will such a change bring to the men's singles event of figure skating?This time... who will stand out from a group of men's singles players of comparable strength?
