Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

After a long silence, Qing Yue and Chu Xuan unanimously decided to forget about that incident, and talked about Nyolido instead.

"Niolido is really sure that he won't come to the Olympics?"

"Yeah, that kid said he wasn't coming, and that he was going to the World Championships after the Olympics. If the champion accidentally loses to him, he will win big."

When Qing Yue arrived at the Olympic Village, he called Niolido. He wanted to call him to act together with himself and Chu Xuan, just like the COI commercial performance that year, but he got the answer that he would not participate in this Olympic Games. .Listening to his cheerful tone and the unique echo in the ice rink, Qingyue felt for a moment that he might have been tricked by the cunning Nyolido.

But the following situation became more and more strange. Seeing that Nyolido's teammates from last year had already arrived at the Olympic Village ahead of schedule, Nyolido's figure did not appear for a long time.Confused, he ran to find Nyolido's teammates, but got the answer that Nyolido would not come to the Olympics.So Qing Yue was stunned, and stood alone in the cold wind...

Seeing Chu Xuan, Qing Yue thought of this question, and asked hesitantly, Dang even got an answer from Chu Xuan that made the corners of his mouth twitch.

"If we win the gold medal, we must not go to this year's World Championships. What do you think?"

"Of course, please, we won't go! This kid has such a beautiful idea."

After twitching, Qing Yue raised his head slowly, looked at Chu Xuan, and made such a proposal, which was echoed by Chu Xuan's pounding on the ground.After agreeing, Chu Xuan looked at Qing Yue shyly again, looked up, looked down again, looked up again, lowered his head again, held back for a long time, and finally uttered the sentence shyly: "Then...then What... are you really going to skate that in the Olympic long program?"

Qing Yue, who was asked about his shortcomings by Chu Xuan, lowered his head abruptly. After a long silence, he raised his head and said as if he was about to cry, "I...are actually still thinking..."

Hearing this, Chu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then became angry, chasing Qing Yue all over the room with pillows: "There are two weeks left before the match, you, you dare to tell me that you are actually still thinking about it?" ? I, I will beat you to death!!!"

As Chu Xuan put down his airdropped pillow and instantly picked up Qing Yue's pillow and chased him angrily, the tidy room was covered with feathers flying all over the sky.However, it was not without reason that Chu Xuan was so furious.Qing Yue spent nearly half a year preparing for the long program of "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta". Such a long preparation time is not uncommon.

From the editing of competition music, costumes, to choreography and programming, Qing Yue has put in a lot of effort.There was even a big conflict with the choreographer because of disagreement with the choreographer.Qing Yue's determination to be on the show during the Olympic season can be felt even by Chu Xuan who doesn't stay in the same city as him.

That's why Chu Xuan didn't oppose Qing Yue's adventure like most other people.However, for some reason, Qing Yue changed his long program within three weeks before the pre-season invitational game.It seemed that he hadn't made enough mental preparations yet, and he seemed to want to show this long program that he had spent so much effort to the world in one fell swoop in the Olympic Games.

But... no matter what it is for, taking the risk of appearing on a new show during the Olympics, or a new show that is completely opposite to my previous performance style, the risk of doing so is too great.Even Naxiu felt... this time, Qing Yue was too risky.

Then, would Qing Yue not hesitate at all?No, of course he will, even after he has made this decision, he will still be timid, hesitant, and self-contradictory.And, the closer the game day is, the more anxious I feel.

I'm 19 and I'm only 19.

Qing Yue said so to herself.The reason why I say that I am 19 years old is that... Naxiu was only 17 years old when he created such a miracle that made him a figure skating empire that will never be forgotten.Now, he has not yet had time to be remembered like this, but he is already 19 years old.

Saying that I am only 19 years old...that is because 19 years old is only the beginning of the golden age of a figure skater.Even if he loses in this Olympics, he has every chance to make a comeback in the next Olympics.

It's just... many times we know everything, but we still feel timid...

In the middle of the night, Qing Yue put on the earphones, curled up his legs against the wall alone, and listened to the music that sounded like the sound of battle drums and the call of heroic spirits, raised his head, and clenched his fists.

……

"This is the venue for the pre-competition training for skating events at the Turing Winter Olympics. It is four o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, the athletes who entered the ice rink for training are the athletes participating in the men's figure skating single event. We can see the previous Alek, the star player of the Jia country during the off-season, and Freire, the light of Planden, are now training in this ice rink..."

That was the opening hours of training to the media on the eve of the Olympics.Instead of calling this ice adaptation as training, it is better to say that it is a display time in front of the major media.At this time, all contestants have to let people see how confident he is and how good he is.Even if his condition is really terrible, even if he is suffering from injuries at this time...

"Koness?"

According to the arrangement of the organizer, it is not yet time for Qingyue to use the ice rink for pre-match training.However, Qing Yue had already arrived ahead of time, in order to get a feel for the tense atmosphere before the game.When he walked to the first row of the auditorium with his skates in hand, he saw a skater named Scott who he knew during the competition but hadn’t spoken to him well. Koness had also arrived at the ice rink ahead of schedule.So Qing Yue called out his name and got a polite nod from the other party.

"Excuse me, can you help me get my skates?"

Looking to the side, I saw that the entrance to the ice rink was still far away. Qing Yue, who didn't want to walk hard among the rows of seats, simply threw the skates to Kone who looked surprised. Si, he supported himself with one hand and rolled directly into the ice rink.

"Thanks."

After entering the ice rink, Qing Yue patted the ashes on his hands, took his skates from Cornes, and thanked him.Hearing Qingyue's thank you, Kones shook his head at him indifferently, and then continued to look at Freire and Alek who were training before the match in the middle of the field, staring at each of them. The movements seemed to be looking for their flaws.

Koness is a figure skating men's singles player whose style is different from that of Qing Yue and others.But judging from his appearance, he has a classical temperament that coexists with melancholy and literary feelings.The outside world said that he had a pair of extremely beautiful blue eyes, telling endless melancholy and elegance.He doesn't talk often, but as long as his eyes look at you, it seems that he can take your heart and soul away.

However, it is such a player, but he has a body shape similar to Alek.Koness's six-pack figure is apparently no secret in the figure skating world. With a height of 1.8 meters [-], although he is three centimeters shorter than Alek, it is already conspicuous enough in figure skating events.

"You're going to use the new long program at the Olympics?"

Qingyue was standing there with Kones watching the pre-match training of Alek and Frere, but he heard Kones next to him ask him coldly.Hearing this, Qing Yue nodded towards Cornes in a daze.

Qing Yue, who nodded to Cornes, saw the complex emotions in the other's eyes, seeming to be puzzled and examining.

"This is not a wise choice." After a while, Cornes said pertinently, making Qing Yue smile wryly.

"I know."

Hearing Qing Yue's answer, Koness gave him a strange look, then ignored his frowning, looked at the pre-match training of the athletes on the field, and warmed up for the next ice training session that belonged to him. get up.

Just after Koness came on stage, Chu Xuan hurried over with his skates.Seeing that he hadn't wasted time, he was overjoyed immediately, and gasped for breath while holding his knees.

"Where have you been, so late? Have you overheated?"

"I... I ran here."

After running for a long time, Chu Xuan, whose throat was so thirsty, was almost speechless, so he had to make gestures again and again, in a hurry.Seeing him in such pain, Qing Yue immediately took out his water bottle and handed it to Chu Xuan.But Chu Xuan just took a sip, and spit out the saliva because he saw the performance of Koness in the field.

"Four... four... four... Quadruple!!"

Seeing that Chu Xuan could choke heavily even after drinking, Qing Yue hurried forward to relieve him.But Chu Xuan pushed Qing Yue away ungratefully, and dragged him to look in the direction of Cornes, struggling to speak the complete vocabulary.

Hearing Chu Xuan's words, Qing Yue suddenly turned around.People in the ice rink who saw the quad jump all exclaimed, but Qing Yue only saw an extremely perfect ice fall.The eyes did not move away from Koness, because next... that Koness from the host country of the next Winter Olympics showed a series of superb skills and extremely deep footwork.After gliding for some distance and gaining enough speed, he popped out for a second quad.

Amidst the exclamation and applause, the media from all over the world pointed their cameras at the men's singles player who shocked the audience as soon as he appeared.This time, Qing Yue finally saw clearly.It was a quadruple jump that rotated extremely fast and showed amazing momentum, almost exactly the same as the quadruple jump that Qing Yue wanted to perform in "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta".

But Koness jumped out of the third quadruple jump as if it was not enough.After jumping out of those three near-perfect and flawless quadruple jumps, those blue eyes without any emotional fluctuations seemed to look towards Qingyue's direction...
