[Short track speed skating] From academic master to Winter Olympic champion

From this day on, Gu Ran would find several missed calls from unfamiliar numbers after training every day.

Unfortunately, he received none.

Checking scores, filling out volunteers... He just completed the prescribed process within the prescribed time, then concentrated on training and waited for admission.I don't care about anything else.

During the closed training period, athletes are not allowed to leave the private training base, nor are they allowed to bring communication equipment to the training ground.Sometimes various studies and meetings have to be arranged in the team, and sleep at noon and night is also very important to him.

His mobile phone has been on silent or even turned off for a long time, and he will only call back when he sees a familiar call, and he can only process WeChat messages when he is resting.

His life is still peaceful, not disturbed by anyone, and no one can find him.

Where he didn't know, Cheng Sen, Xu Qing and even the entire training base protected him very well, and no reporter could enter here.

Many ice fans who love him still remember that he took the college entrance examination this year. After he got his grades, they all left messages under his latest Weibo, asking him how his grades were and whether he was confident to be admitted to the ideal school and major.

However, Gu Ran's latest Weibo post was the one after the World Championships. Since then, he has never even opened Weibo, and it is impossible to see the concern of ice fans for him.

He spends most of his spare time reading books, and only spends an hour or two on weekends when Chi Lang drags him to play games, so he has no time to pay attention to the content on these social platforms.

But Liang Kexin is a senior Internet addicted girl. When eating or resting, she would pass on the content she saw on the Internet to Gu Ran.Most ice fans care about him: "Closed training means you can't even post pictures? I really want to see Gu Ran."

"At this time, he has already checked the score, so he should fill in the application form. I really want to know the result."

"Xiaoran is a very low-key person. He won't post on Weibo even after winning the gold medal, and he doesn't even think about posting the results of the college entrance examination."

"Okay, then I'll just wait for an admission letter and his college life."

In addition to those who encouraged him, there were also some strange remarks on the Internet at the same time: "It was too crazy to hype the Xueba figure before, but now it's slapped in the face, and the college entrance examination results are embarrassing."

"What kind of academic bully? It's so ridiculous to brag about it. How is it possible to score 700 in the college entrance examination? How many people sit in the classroom and study every day can get 700 points in the test. He has to train and compete. Even if he can get 600 points Genius."

"Yes, I don't believe it either. Even if you are admitted to a prestigious school, it is probably the School of Economics and Management, the School of Physical Education, the School of Education... Isn't the green channel for sports students arranged this way?"

"What is the test, don't take the test, just read it!"

There are a lot of eye-catching speeches like this, and there are a lot of likes, just to attract traffic and let other people scold him and start a war.

With Gu Ran's number of fans, naturally many people would speak for him: "They just don't want to post it, can't they?"

"Even if someone doesn't do well in the exam, there are still good schools you can go to. Are you jealous?"

"He is only 17 years old, he did not do well in the exam this year, and he can take the exam again next year."

"..."

The others were very angry after hearing this, and Chi Lang immediately took out his mobile phone: "I'll post a Weibo, revealing Gu Xiaoran's college entrance examination results, so that they can see what a real academic master is."

Liu Fei encouraged him from the side: "Hurry up, Xueba will like to mention the trending search after posting!"

Gu Ran was eating a special roast chicken in Yunnan, and said two words concisely: "No."

If people can't contact Gu Ran himself, they will naturally contact his parents.Xu Mei would tell him which school's admissions office had called, which major he wanted to choose, and what conditions he wanted to put forward.

Gu Ran doesn't care about these things, he has always been a person with a firm goal, and he will not change easily after making a decision.

Xu Mei knows her son's ideal and respects his choice very much.In the end, he only replied to the admissions office of the university in Gu Ran's mind.And specifically emphasized that I hope the school will not disclose Gu Ran's admission information on public social platforms.

The school does not lack world champions, and there are even many Olympic champions, but the champions of other sports are almost all concentrated in the School of Economics and Management.This is the only one who entered the exam by himself and declared the world champion of the Information Technology Research Institute.

The problem was finally thrown to the school. Gu Ran filled in the desired college and class, which is the key class of the school's key departments, and the admitted candidates are also the best of the best, and only 30 people are recruited nationwide. , Most of them are recommended and independent enrollment, and no more than three places will be admitted through unified enrollment.

With Gu Ran's grades, if he was just an ordinary candidate, the admissions office wouldn't even have to consider it, and would admit him directly.

But he is not ordinary. He is an active athlete. At least in the next year and a half, he needs to spend a lot of time training to prepare for the Winter Olympics.

But for the major he applied for, the first two years were intensive training on the basics of computer science, and his learning ability was enough, but he could barely take care of it.The professional training in different directions in the last two years includes a lot of scientific research practice.By that time, as an active athlete, will Gu Ran have so much time to finish her studies?

Of course, these are the school's concerns and considerations, and Gu Ran didn't know about it before the admission was completed.

The college entrance examination is over, the results are satisfactory, and he has already completed the procedures that should be followed step by step, so he focuses on training.

June 6th happened to be Gu Ran's birthday. The team had just finished two weeks of heavy training, and would then enter a relatively easy recovery training.

Therefore, Cheng Sen decided to take them out to relax and have fun for two days before that.

The closed training has suffocated the group of children. When they heard that they could go out to play for two days, they all jumped up like crazy and shouted: "Long live Director Cheng! Long live Director Xu! Long live Team Leader Yu!"

Cheng Sen said: "You should thank Gu Xiaoran."

So everyone looked at Gu Ran again: "Happy birthday, little brother!"

In the afternoon, they arrived at Dali Ancient Town by car.It was already evening when they arrived in Dali, and they celebrated Gu Ran's birthday in a private room of the hotel.

The birthday cake was brought all the way from Kunming.Gu Ran was curious that the cake didn't fall apart during the bumpy journey.

When I opened it for dinner at night, I saw that there were several kinds of fruits piled on top of the cake, and there was no cream at all.

Fang Xiaoqi said while lighting candles: "Isn't it just a sense of ritual, this is healthy."

Everyone sang a birthday song to him and asked him to blow out candles and make a wish.

Gu Ran closed her eyes seriously, clasped her hands on her chin, was silent for a moment, bent down and blew out the candle.

Liu Xu asked curiously: "Idol, what wish did you make?"

Lin Jiaxi quickly waved at Gu Ran: "I can't say it, it won't work if I say it."

Gu Ran shrugged: "I hope there will be good weather tomorrow."

Everyone looked at him in surprise: "I thought you wanted to make a wish to win the Olympic champion."

Gu Ran was more surprised than them: "Does this still require a wish?"

"!!!"

Damn it, I was beaten again by my junior brother Versailles!

The younger brother's Versailles angered all the brothers and sisters, so everyone ate all the fruits on the cake and left the cake embryo to him.

The next morning, before seven o'clock, Cheng Sen knocked on the team members' doors one by one, telling them to get up and eat.

Everyone usually has morning exercises at 06:30, and the biological clock is very fixed, and this time has already been woken up one after another.

After breakfast, Cheng Sen reminded, "Put on a hat and sunscreen, and leave at 07:30!"

They didn't finish their tour in Dali Ancient Town, Cheng Sen took them directly to a car rental company.

The team members saw that the posture was wrong: "Director Cheng, didn't you say you would take us out to have fun for two days?"

Cheng Sen said: "Let me take you to experience what is romantic, isn't it two days of fun?"

Everyone looked at the piles of bicycles in front of them, and then took a look at the endless road around the sea. This is no fun, it is clearly outdoor physical training.

It took two days to cycle around the Erhai Lake, with a total distance of 130 kilometers. During this period, they also needed to stay at the Erhai Lake for one night.

Yu Jie ordered the bicycles in advance, and specially instructed the car rental company that the bicycles should be adjusted in advance, equipped with protective gear, and the safety of the children must be guaranteed.

When you arrive, you can pick up the car directly, and you only need to adjust the seat height that suits you.

When it was time to start, everyone looked back, good guy, each athlete has a bicycle, and the coaching staff are all electric bikes.

"..."

Gu Ran shook her head and sighed: "This is how the powerful bully us vulnerable groups."

Xu Qing asked him kindly: "Do you want to resist?"

Gu Ran asked back: "What will happen after I resist?"

"There are no consequences," Xu Qing paused for a moment before saying, "After returning home, I will add [-] laps of technical skating every day."

Chi Lang leaned over and asked, "So, if you add two hundred more laps of technical skating every day, can you change your bicycle into an electric car?"

Xu Qing smiled lovingly at him: "No!"

"..."

They rode in the direction of Shangguan, passing through many seas of flowers along the way, the favorite of girls, and the photos they took were particularly beautiful.

They took pictures, and Gu Ran stood by the lake, looking at Shi and the distance.The blue sky and white clouds are reflected on the clear lake. The rocks and fish at the bottom of the lake are visible to the naked eye. The distant Cangshan Mountains and the tranquil lake complement each other. Just take a picture with your mobile phone and you can set it as your wallpaper.

Lin Jiaxi asked him: "Why is there a mountain on the opposite side of the sea?"

Gu Ran explained to him with a smile: "This is not the sea, but a plateau lake. It is called Erhai Lake because it is shaped like an ear. The mountain on the opposite side is Cangshan Mountain. The wind, flowers, snow and moon that Director Cheng mentioned earlier refers to the beautiful scenery here."

Not only Lin Jiaxi was curious, Gao Ziyi and Chi Lang also came over: "What beautiful scenery?"

Gu Ran said: "The wind in Xiaguan, the flowers in Shangguan, the snow in Cangshan Mountain, and the moon in Erhai Lake. But we came at the wrong time. If it is Mid-Autumn Festival, we can see the golden moon reflected in the water. If it is winter, we can see the snow scene of Cangshan Mountain from a distance. .”

Lin Jiaxi looked at him adoringly: "Xiaoran, you are really amazing, you know everything."

Chi Lang said with a smile: "He is a top student with a score of 712 in the college entrance examination."

Gu Ran kicked him: "Because I have been here."

Stop and go along the way, most of the time riding, stop to take pictures when you see the beautiful scenery.Although the sun is venomous, the wind blowing from the lake is also very pleasant.

In the evening, they stayed at a sea view hotel in Shuanglang.When eating in the open-air restaurant, I happened to see the sunset.The golden sun passed through the clouds, dyed the sky and the lake red, and finally fell to the other side of Cangshan Mountain.

In the evening, the restaurant also has a resident band singing, in addition to the familiar folk songs, there are also some local Bai songs.

After singing for a while, the singers will go down to rest for a while. At this time, tourists will go to the open space in front to sing one or two songs, and some can pick up the guitar and play and sing by themselves.

Cheng Sen suddenly looked at his little boys, and glanced at them all: "Gu Ran also sing a song for us."

I rode a bicycle all day today, but Gu Ran was exhausted, and he was working hard.

Suddenly called by Cheng Sen, he looked up and nodded, "Okay, I'll sing one for you."

Before, the team held activities during festivals, and the players couldn't go home, so Cheng Sen organized them to go to KTV to sing a song or something.To be honest, among so many players, Gu Ran can be regarded as the best singer.

But he just made a casual joke just now, he didn't expect Gu Ran to readily agree in front of so many people.

It wasn't just Cheng Sen's accident, the whole team was surprised for half a second, and then began to boo: "Gu Xiaoran, hurry up!"

Gu Ran put down her chopsticks, pulled a paper towel and slowly wiped her mouth, then stood up and walked straight forward.

The teammates were still booing, attracting the attention of other guests, and they all looked at the open space in the middle.

The boy was wearing a simple white T and sweatpants, with a slender figure and exquisite facial features, and his temperament was as clean as the plateau lake in front of him.

Gu Ran hugged the guitar and sat down, and took a look at the calm lake. Today happened to be the first day of the sixth lunar month, and the moon could not be seen, but the stars in the night sky were clearly visible.

Gu Ran just played a prelude, and before she could start singing, several members of the women's team took out their mobile phones, turned on the flashlights, raised them above their heads, and swayed from side to side as the melody began, filling the atmosphere for the juniors.

"The brightest star in the night sky, can you hear clearly, the person looking up, the loneliness and sigh in my heart..." [The brightest star in the night sky - escape plan]

When he plucked the strings with his fingers, some people whispered, saying that he is so handsome and looks familiar...

When he sang the first line of lyrics along with the accompaniment, the surrounding immediately became quiet.

On this breezy early summer night, the clear voice of the young man flowed slowly along with the melodious sound of the piano. There was no superb skill, just a narration, but the youthful breath that rushed to the face was enough to move people's hearts.

"I pray to have a transparent heart and eyes that can shed tears, give me the courage to believe again, and embrace you beyond lies..."

Gu Ran didn't care about other people's attention and evaluation. He only looked at his coach and teammates, and sang every sentence and every word for them.

This is a song that everyone is familiar with. It is a must-play song on KTV. Everyone in the short track speed skating team knows it. At the end of the song, the teammates also sang loudly along with the chords he played, turning the solo into a chorus.

Cheng Sen and Xu Qing looked at each other, under the dim light, the emotion in each other's eyes could be clearly seen.

The atmosphere was so good that the two coaches hadn't even touched a drop of alcohol, and they still felt a little tipsy.

It turns out that listening to my own children singing can also make people drunk.

The next day, they rode back to the ancient town of Dali for a short rest. After eating, they had to ride back to the training base.

It would take four hours to go back, so Gu Ran chose to wear headphones to sleep.He didn't know how long he had slept in a daze, when he suddenly felt someone pat his face.

Opening his eyes, he saw that it was Liang Kexin: "Junior Junior Brother, you're on the trending list again!"

Gu Ran squinted her eyes halfway, feeling a little dazed about where she was, and her first reaction was that someone had revealed his college entrance examination results.

Liang Kexin clicked on a video and put the phone in front of his eyes.Then, he heard the sound of himself singing from the trumpet.

To be honest, a little ashamed, Gu Ran quickly pushed the video out.Then he took out his phone and clicked on Weibo to see what was going on.

With Liang Kexin's voice, everyone in the car heard it, so other people also clicked on Weibo's trending search, and watching the juniors during the offseason can also be on the trending search.

It turned out that the part of his singing yesterday was photographed and posted on the Internet, but the blogger did not recognize him, and the accompanying copy was: "This young man in a white T-shirt singing is absolutely gorgeous, clean and handsome, with a clear voice, Isn't this the male protagonist in the campus novel?"

But this video quickly became popular, and the comment with the most likes below was: "If I'm not mistaken, this is Gu Ran, right?"

The blogger also replied: "I don't know who Gu Ran is. This was taken yesterday when I was eating in Shuanglang Ancient Town."

Netizens left messages one after another: "Keyword: Chinese short track speed skating team."

"Ahhhhh! You can even play the guitar!"

"Not only can I play the guitar, but I can also sing so well!"

"We don't know how many hidden skills you have!!!"

"A handsome short track speed skating world champion who can play and sing, and also a top student."

"I still want to know what his college entrance examination scores are."

"Quickly announce it, let me open my eyes."

"..."

Teammates, one sentence for you, one sentence for me, and read out the comments that I think are fun.

Chi Lang, who was sitting behind him, even played that video over and over again, Gu Ran turned to stare at him: "Turn it off!"

Chi Lang was overjoyed: "I don't!"

Gu Ran went to snatch his mobile phone, but Chi Lang protected it with quick eyesight and quick hands.

Gu Ran had no choice but to sit down, feeling ashamed, and covered her head with the coat.

Chi Lang rubbed his head through his coat: "It's so beautiful, I want to set it as the ringtone of my phone."

Cheng Sen, who was sitting at the front, said, "When it's done, pass it to me."

"In the group, pick up what you like."

Gu Ran gritted her teeth: "I advise everyone to be individuals."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Little Gu Ran, playing and singing on the guitar, made a wave of trending searches, and his Weibo fans gradually increased. Every day, there were people concerned about his college entrance examination results and which university he was admitted to.

Later, some people even left him a message to comfort him, telling him to train hard, it doesn't matter if he fails the exam, come back next year, everyone will always support him.

Gu Ran: "..."

Back at the Haigeng training base, they trained for another two weeks and did not return to Beijing until mid-July.

At this time, Xu Mei called Gu Ran: "The admission notice has been received. The courier said that this is the first admission notice he sent this year in this city. I can't wait to see what you look like. It's a pity that you don't at home."

At this time, Gu Ran suddenly became nervous: "Is it your first choice?"

"Of course!"

Gu Ran said: "I mean... is it the class I want to go to?"

Xu Mei said softly: "Baby, congratulations, your dream has come true."

Gu Ran laughed from the bottom of her heart: "Actually, these days, I'm still a little nervous."

Xu Mei smiled and said, "This is not like my son."

"I'm afraid they don't want me, so they will send me to another class."

"No," Xu Mei said with certainty, "My son is so outstanding."

Gu Ran stroked her hair and took a deep breath: "Now I will work hard to realize my next dream."

"Come on, Mom and Dad will always support you!"

Gu Ran thought of his future classmate, so she sent Wei Yuening a message: "Have you received the admission letter?"

Wei Yuening said, "I received it a few days ago."

Gu Ran was curious: "Why are you so early?"

"Don't tell you."

"..."

The short-track speed skating team finished their summer training in Yunnan and returned to Beijing. Suddenly, they found a notice posted downstairs—their home was gone after being away for more than a month! ! !
