Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

However, at this moment, there was a very familiar laughter in Chu Xuan's ward.Surprised, Qing Yue stepped into the ward without even knocking on the door.

"Qingyue? Didn't expect your kid to come back so quickly when he was still in Turing yesterday?"

Beside Chu Xuan's hospital bed, standing or sitting was the Xishu figure skater Qing Yue had met but was not familiar with.There are players in women's singles, pairs skating, and even ice dancing.And Le Sheng, as a friend who is not close to Chu Xuan, came here in a hurry when he accidentally learned the news from Qing Yue, which made everyone feel too sudden.

"Why do you look like you're going bankrupt today and going to jump off a building tomorrow! You, you, you, and you! How many times have I said this! I just can't continue to participate in figure skating competitions, but apart from skating, I There are still many things I can do. I am not a person who cannot live without skating. It is better to rush to become a professional idol star while I am still young.

Anyway, I thought about it when I was very young.After Xiao Qin helped me take the role in that movie last time, directors have been looking for me, saying that they want me to play a role in their crew.But I have been preparing for the figure skating competition, so I have never been able to spare time to participate in the performance.Is it not right now? "

Seeing how worried all his friends were, Chu Xuan seemed to be the boss and pointed them out one by one. When it comes to "people who can't live without skating", he still has intentional or unintentional courtship. Yue glanced at it.But after he finished speaking, he found that the sadness in Qing Yue's eyes...as if it was expressed on his behalf...hadn't diminished at all.

Qing Yue couldn't help calling Chu Xuan's name again, causing Chu Xuan to quickly make a "stop here" gesture: "Okay, don't worry. We have known each other for many years, right? You should believe it , no matter what happens, I can live a good life. Live better than others, right?"

Seeing the lingering longing for the future in Chu Xuan's eyes, Qing Yue hesitated and fell silent.Seeing Qing Yue's silence, Chu Xuan, who was sitting up on the pillow, grabbed his hand before Qing Yue could react, then pulled him over, grabbed his shoulders and shook violently: "I said Is it right! Is it right! Is it right!"

Chu Xuan's escape surprised and puzzled all the friends who came here because they were worried about him.Although... Chu Xuan has always been like this, where there is him, there must be joy.But they didn't expect that... After knowing the bad news that his meniscus was torn and he would no longer be able to continue skating, Chu Xuan would still comfort him with the same expression and tone as usual... came here because he was worried about him friends.

Everyone was amazed, but Qing Yue... as a rival and private friend who had competed with Chu Xuan in the Xishu National Championships for seven years... he was even more indifferent because of Chu Xuan's indifference. get worried.

From Qing Yue's point of view, he would rather that Chu Xuan could express the unwillingness and melancholy in his heart, instead of being like this... It is obviously more painful and sad than anyone here, but he has to pretend to be something Nothing like that happened.However, the silent Le Sheng stopped everything Qing Yue wanted to say as if he knew something.

In the end, they left one after another when Chu Xuan chased them away on the grounds that they wanted to rest.

Qing Yue and Le Sheng were the last to leave. When the door of the single room in the ward was closed, Le Sheng stopped Qing Yue from turning back.

"Perhaps, before getting back up again, he wanted to leave us with a cool back."

Le Sheng, who was much taller than Qing Yue, hooked Qing Yue's head with his arms to prevent him from turning his head again.Hearing Le Sheng's words, after looking at Chu Xuan, Qing Yue felt as if his chest was choked by something heavy and hard, lowered his head in a daze, and asked softly: "So, what we can do now... Have you waited?"

"Maybe, you can replace him to accomplish what he wants to do but hasn't been able to."

"But... even if I did it. It's only me who did it..."

Hearing Le Sheng's comfort, Qing Yue stubbornly frowned and said so.His words... moved Le Sheng as if he felt the same way.Hooking Qing Yue, so that he would not turn his head to look back, his arm drooped weakly, but after a pause, Qing Yue walked out of the hospital with him...

On the other side... In the single ward where Chu Xuan lived, after all the friends who came to see him had left, he turned off all the lights in the room, and he just stared at the night view of the city outside the window in a daze. .

When Xiao Qin finished sending off the skaters and other friends who came to visit Chu Xuan, what he saw... was such a picture.A person who never knew what sorrow was, but now he was sitting alone on the hospital bed in the dark, looking at the lights outside the window, and he didn't know what he thought of...

"They've all gone?"

"gone."

"Ah."

Chu Xuan responded softly, but the hoarseness in his voice could be heard.The sound seemed to be choked by something in the throat.

He could feel that Xiao Qin, his manager who had been taking care of him since he was 15 years old, was not far behind him at this moment, a trace of fragility concealed by a strong appearance finally revealed.He seemed to want to speak with a smile, but the choked voice could no longer be concealed.

"Can you...can you sit with me for a while?"

Hearing this sentence, I know better than anyone how hard it has been for Chu Xuan, how much he has paid, how much enthusiasm he has devoted to next year's Olympic season, and his manager Xiao Qin has not said anything about it. Yan, just quietly, quietly walked to the edge of the bed facing the window, and sat down.

At that time, she saw uncontrollable tears that she rarely saw on Chu Xuan's face.

However, just when this capable and vigorous female manager couldn't help opening her eyes wide, she felt that she was hugged by Chu Xuan fiercely.

The powerful arms that belonged to male athletes tightly restrained her.This strong person who always brings happiness and smiles to others, he buried his face on Xiao Qin's shoulder at this moment, hot tears pouring out uncontrollably.

"I've known for a long time...I've known for a long time that using second-rate talent to practice quadruple jumps...will result in this way. But this day, can't we come later?"

"Next year... next year will be the Olympic Games. Although the current ice world...has already improved a lot compared to three years ago. But I am in a very good state now...I am only 23 years old this year! I can use the full state Go to the Olympics."

"Okay, I admit that I want to win the Olympic gold medal! A second-tier player whose world ranking is always hovering between No.5 and No.8 can't make it to the top three at all. A second-rate talented player who can fight like this is already a It's a miracle, I don't care about these! Let those commentators go to hell! I just want to win the Olympic gold medal!! But why, why now..."

Listening to Chu Xuan venting the emotions in his heart, those... the emotions that are always hidden behind the smile, Xiao Qin didn't say a word.Since she was admitted to university, she has entered a sports agency company, working while completing her studies, and using the salary she received to support her university studies.

She is a very independent and highly capable woman.It was also she who, as an excellent manager, accompanied Chu Xuan through the most important eight years of his skating career.

She knew very well what Chu Xuan concealed under his dazzling smile... what kind of persistence and persistence.

She knows better... Chu Xuan's love for figure skating is not lost to anyone.

That's why... She knows how such a blow is almost fatal to Chu Xuan... She raised her right hand and finally put it on Chu Xuan's back after hesitating for a long time, wanting to use body language Give Chu Xuan silent strength and support.And... tell this boy who has always been strong that there is nothing shameful in crying.

Or... It's not appropriate to describe him as a boy now?But she will always remember that when she saw Chu Xuan for the first time, the young man who had not yet opened his eyes showed a dazzling and confident smile, stretched out his hand and said to her: "Hello, I am Chu Xuan, the future world-class figure skater."

After that, she watched Chu Xuan grow rapidly.Not only became an excellent world-class figure skater.He has even become a national idol who can advance and retreat in front of the media and knows how to maximize his advantages.

"Why... such a thing happened... If all this can come after next year's Olympic Games. Even if it makes me unable to walk again in my next life, I will..."

Chu Xuan's unwilling voice sounded.Such persistence and ruthlessness at all costs are moving.Even more decadent and desperate, people want to cry and vent with him in this darkness.

Xiao Qin froze her body, and then she hugged Chu Xuan with both hands, and hugged him hard...She lowered her head, her long, smooth hair fell over Chu Xuan's shoulders.After a long silence, this strong and capable woman finally said with a sob: "No, it's not worth it. You will have a better future."

Xiao Qin's words made Chu Xuan laugh out loud.Then he finally raised his head after taking a deep breath, looked at the beautiful woman who had been silently doing many things for him behind him and said, "I will only cry in the arms of a woman without turning on the light." Men... are they useless? Are they useless? Are they... boring?"

Under Chu Xuan's gaze, the woman who had been silently with Chu Xuan for eight years looked into his eyes without hesitation, and said in a tone full of determination and love: "No, You are the bravest man in the world."

Hearing that sentence, it seemed that a large piece of his chest had been dug out because he could no longer continue skating... and it seemed to be gradually filled by some warm existence.So Chu Xuan took Xiao Qin's hand after he stopped crying, put it on his cheek and looked at the woman who always kept him from looking back when setbacks came, and asked with a smile: "Even if I can't Now that I'm skating, I'll definitely be the best. So, are you still willing to walk with me, Xiao Qin?"
