Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

Mailboxes that used to be flooded with good intentions, or imprinted with palpable affection, are now overwhelmed by e-mails expressing disappointment and anger.

【You really disappoint me!I will never go to any show with you in the future! 】【Don't let me know that you, a filthy gay, will represent our Xishu in any international competition!Otherwise I will definitely kill you before then! ] Letters like this kept flooding Qingyue's e-mail.Qu Shen suggested that Qing Yue should report to the police when he saw letters that threatened his life, but Qing Yue no longer had the heart and power to deal with them.

When he just returned to Xishu, he refreshed his e-mail as if suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder, not knowing what he wanted to see.The only support, encouragement, or other.But after a long time, he found that everything he wanted to see was not there.Everything he dreaded to see was there.

Qing Yue has always been a sensitive person.It is precisely because of this sensibility that he was able to slid out series such as "Lucia of Lammermore", "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", and even "The Bell of Sodia". The deeply shocking repertoire shows the amazing artistic expression that many ice dancers don't have in their programs.But at this moment... this sensibility made it impossible for him to get out of this nightmare that seemed to never end.

His mobile phone number was released by people with malicious intentions.Harassing phone calls and text messages flooded him.Therefore, he has not turned on the machine for a long time.He bought a new number in the small town, and used it to contact Qu Shen every now and then.See... what advertisers canceled his bookings, and how many event organizers canceled his attendance plans.

There is no doubt that Qingyue's economic situation has fallen into an unprecedented situation...

Yes, Qing Yue can be regarded as a figure skater with high commercial value.However, almost all of his savings after entering the adult group were used by him to buy this big house and pay for the interior decoration of the house.When the deposit is almost exhausted and the expenditure in these few months is almost zero, he will still have various expenditures.

At this time in previous years, the organization that invited Qing Yue to participate in the summer commercial performance had already put the deposit for the performance on his card.But this year, the contacts of those organizations never came to him again.

Obviously, no matter how difficult the situation was, he couldn't sell the house.But now, maybe he can consider selling the car he is driving first, and replace it with a more worn-out second-hand car, so as to tide over the current difficulties.

Qing Yue, who locked himself at home for two months without going out or contacting the outside world, felt that maybe he should cheer up.

That's all.

He kept telling himself that.If dozens of days are not enough for those people to reduce their anger, then... a few months, a year will be enough, right?

If a thing is already bad to the end, then it can't be worse, can it?Perhaps, he should believe in the power of time, and more importantly, the power of forgetting.It's as if... those people forgot that he once represented Xishu in a heavyweight international competition and won a medal.

However, the situation was far worse than Qing Yue's imagination.

It was a very dark time.Whenever he wants to cheer up, a new round of nightmares will hit him.

On an afternoon when the weather turned warm and the sun shone warmly, Qing Yue found a stray cat running from nowhere in his yard.It looked very hungry, and kept barking "meow" and "meow" at Qingyue.Therefore, Qing Yue took out the bottled milk delivered to his house this morning and poured it into a small basin for it to drink.

However, after only playing with this little guy for a while, he found that it started to convulse, curled up uncontrollably, and whined in pain...

At that moment, Qing Yue had no time to figure out what happened.But he knew... this little life might die soon.So he hurriedly drove it to a nearby veterinarian.The result obtained...but he couldn't believe it.

The milk that the kitten just drank was poisoned...

"Sir, there is poisoned milk in this little guy's stomach. Fortunately, you brought it in time, and it hasn't had time to drink too much. Maybe there is hope to save it. I haven't been able to determine its composition yet. But look It sounds like rat poison. Do you know what's going on?"

"I don't...don't know..."

Qing Yue's mind went blank when he heard the veterinarian's words.He opened his eyes wide in bewilderment and disbelief, and even kept grabbing his hair with his palms.He seemed to think of many possibilities.But no matter what kind...he didn't want to believe it.So, he could only look at the kitten in the glass incubator, this... the little guy who might have saved his life.

Although, when it wakes up again, it may be full of hostility towards the stranger who fed it the deadly milk.Scratch, even bite him...

During the long wait, Qing Yue just sat on the chair and kept looking at this little guy.It looks so small, so fragile.But after suffering so much damage for himself, he still survived tenaciously.

"Need a cup of coffee?"

The young doctor went upstairs and walked down the stairs after looking around at the kittens and puppies in the clinic.When he saw Qing Yue's focused eyes on the kitten, he couldn't help asking this question.

"No, I mean... I'm sorry I've troubled you so late today. You don't need to..."

Seeing that the clock showed that it was past ten o'clock in the evening, Qing Yue, who had disturbed the young veterinarian for so long, felt very embarrassed, and didn't want to trouble him any more.However, after hearing what Qing Yue said, the veterinarian went upstairs and poured a cup of coffee for Qing Yue in a paper cup and handed it to him.

"Thank you, thank you."

"No. I can tell you like this little guy. What's his name?"

"I do not know."

"what?"

"I'm sorry, it's just that I really don't know."

"OK then."

The veterinarian wanted to talk to the owner of this kitten during the long wait, about this poor but stubborn kitten, about... what happened to this cute little guy.

According to the veterinarian, the kitten must have been fed poisoned milk by cruel neighbors while stealing food from other houses.If this is the case, then he will hope that the owner of this little guy will find the neighbor and beat him up.But Qing Yue told the veterinarian that he didn't even know the kitten's name.

"So... you picked up this little guy on the road? You are such a kind person."

"No, it wouldn't be like this if it wasn't for me."

Hearing the praise from the veterinarian, Qing Yue felt so ashamed that he couldn't even face the stranger in front of him.The moment before he took the kitten away from the pet clinic, he was still terrified.Afraid that people in the clinic would recognize him.Because of this emotion that can even be called fear, Qing Yue even trembled unconsciously with his right hand holding the doorknob...

However, what happened next made Qing Yue heave a sigh of relief.

The veterinarian at the clinic did not know him.When looking at him, the young veterinarian's eyes did not have the slightest unnaturalness.It was precisely because of this that Qing Yue, who had locked himself at home for two months and had no contact with anyone, wanted to say something to this stranger who knew nothing about him.

"If there is poison in the milk this little guy drank, it means that the milk delivered to my house every morning was poisoned. If it wasn't for it, maybe I would drink up that bottle of milk in one go, I don't know Can you wake up again?"

What Qing Yue said made the veterinarian who understood what terrible things would happen if he drank all the milk in one go couldn't help but gasped and asked hesitantly: "But...but why? I'm sorry, I mean... you seem like a nice guy, who would do that to you?"

"Maybe because I lost a game that should have won the title."

After saying this, Qing Yue became silent again.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the kitten, which had finally passed the dangerous period, was carried back by Qing Yue.He carefully wrapped the kitten that saved him today with his coat and put it on the passenger seat.Although his financial situation is very bad at this stage, he still bought some things for the kitten in the clinic just now, and planned to let this little guy accompany him through the rest of his life. The days when I dare not communicate with the outside world.If it is still willing.

But when Qing Yue was driving towards his home, a noise that could not be ignored caught his attention.

It was the noise of teenagers, and...the sound of something smashing glass.

The judgment made by hearing clearly told Qingyue that those voices were coming from the direction of his house.A bad premonition made Qing step on the accelerator more violently, and drove the way home faster than usual.While seeing his own home, he also saw the red flames soaring into the sky.

Three or four teenagers who didn't even seem to have finished high school were downstairs in his house and kept throwing stones into the windows of the bedroom on the second floor, and even... doused gasoline and lit firesticks...

The flames stained the entire sky with a layer of dark red that conveyed fear and uneasiness.Mixed with his name... abusive words kept coming out of the mouths of those teenagers.When they threw those stones into the window of the bedroom on the second floor, or even wrapped strips of cloth around wooden sticks, poured gasoline on it and lit the fire, and threw them at the window on the second floor, Qing Yue felt that his heartbeat seemed to have stopped. He just watched the home that once made him feel warm and happy was covered by raging fire.

That's the power to burn everything.The longing of the past, the wish of the present, even... is the only hope for the future.
