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

Gu Ran hurriedly took a step back, while waving her hands: "No, I can't."

Xu Qing looked at him with a smile: "Why can't you, you are the best singer in our team, and you have a good foundation in dancing."

Gu Ran said: "It's only a group show, I can't do it alone."

Xu Qing patted his head: "Then you think of a group show."

"Have no idea."

"I can't think of them training for a while, and you stand by and continue thinking."

It's physical training for a while, right in the gym, and the physical coaches have already come.

Gu Ran rushed forward to hug him, and began to act coquettishly: "No, Director Xu, it's okay not to let me eat, but I must not let me train!"

Xu Qing pushed him away: "You won't be allowed to train."

There was a lot of commotion here, a figure suddenly came in at the door, pulled Gu Ran and ran outside: "Let's go, let's do a favor!"

Gu Ran took a closer look and saw that it was Shen Jia, who dragged him to the figure skating training session next door without saying a word.

Gu Ran asked: "What help?"

Shen Jia said: "We are all lined up, but there are few people, you come to make up the number."

"Ah?" Gu Ran pointed at herself, "Can I make up this number?"

"Yes, try it first, the movements are very easy to learn."

Gu Ran said: "I can't be on your team's show either."

Another senior sister of the figure skating team said: "I didn't let you go, just practice formation with us. One of our male players has something to go back home, and he will come in two days."

This favor can help.Gu Ran stood on the edge of the second row and practiced with them twice. The movements are really not difficult, just follow along and dance.

Their coach joked: "It's a good dance, don't go back, and follow us to perform on stage."

Gu Ran looked terrified, and quickly waved her hands: "If you can't do it, you can't do it, Director Cheng killed me."

Cheng Sen looked at him darkly at the door: "You also know that I'm going to beat you to death, are you going to stop the training today?"

Gu Ran looked up at the wall clock, it was already 2:55, and there were still 5 minutes of physical training.

"Ah, I still have training, I'll practice with you next time." As he said that, he ran out quickly, stopped halfway through the run, and saw an electronic piano in the corner.

It wasn't until Gu Ran asked Shen Jia that they occasionally used it when arranging dance moves.

When Gu Ran walked out of the figure skating training room, she suddenly had an idea, caught up with Cheng Sen and said, "I thought about what show we're going to perform!"

Cheng Sen asked, "What program?"

Gu Ran ignored him and ran back to his home training room: "We'll discuss it after the training."

After the physical training, Gu Ran found Coach Zhang, and because of her cuteness, she made a request immediately.

Coach Zhang has always liked him very much, and he has never tired of digging corners on the side of the short track for several years.He wanted to borrow something, Coach Zhang naturally smiled and said yes, let him move.

From this day on, the short track speed skating team rehearses in the training room with the door closed every night.The brand-new training base has excellent sound insulation. I can only hear movement inside, but I can't hear what it is.

So, soon came the day of the New Year's party, and the venue was set at a certain hotel.Everyone can sit down and watch the show while eating, and there is a game session in between.

At present, only the four teams of ice events are training in Beijing, and other snow events are scattered all over the country for training, and they can interact through live broadcasts.

The first program is the dance of figure skating. She is really professional, with exquisite makeup, good expressions, and even the matching clothes are so beautiful.Coupled with the well-arranged dance moves, even the formation and positioning showed a professional stage effect, which was not much better than those of the men's and women's groups.

This dance is really pleasing to the eye, the leaders are full of praise, and the other teams are under great pressure.

Gu Ran heard Gao Ziyi sigh with emotion: "It's so beautiful."

Chi Lang said: "Isn't that what they practice every day?"

Next is the skit about speed skating. The story mainly tells about the father of a team member who was a fan of short track speed skating when he was young. When he heard that his child was selected by the speed skating coach of the sports school, he was very excited. I feel that my family will also produce a short track speed skating champion in the future.

It wasn't until many years later that my father went to watch his children's competition for the first time. When he entered the speed skating hall, he was shocked. Why is the circle so big? Why didn't he hold the ice when turning?What about fierce confrontation and transcendence?

Coupled with the unique dialect, this skit is both funny and dramatic, and it also attracted a wave of enthusiasm for the short track. From time to time, there will be a burst of laughter, and some people even booed and shouted loudly at the stage: "Short track It’s not as fast as you guys!” The show was full again.

Next is the curling program, singing and dancing rap, the temperament is extremely well-crafted, the lyrics are very well written, the atmosphere is burning and explosive, and the charm of curling is vividly displayed. International chess".

During the period, some small games were interspersed, such as guessing idioms with a heart, listening to the prelude and guessing the title of a song, and numbers Hua Rongdao...

As long as the short-track speed skating team sends Gu Ran to play, others have no sense of game experience. He is always the fastest and most accurate one, and he is far ahead of the others, just like a cheat.

Gu Ran said: "I am helping you save time, so hurry up and move on to the next link."

After speaking, he was kicked off the stage by the concerted efforts of the other three teams, and he was banned from playing in the next round of games.

The performance of the short track speed skating team was arranged at the back. Before they went on stage, there were even props, and the staff brought up an electronic piano.

The short track speed skating team stood on the stage, the girls stood in front, the boys stood behind, and only Gu Ran sat in front of the piano.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this posture.Based on their understanding of the short-track speed skating team, they thought they were going to contribute a funny program, but it seemed to have turned into a serious program.

It was indeed very serious. When Gu Ran hit the first note, the audience fell silent.

The passionate and vigorous melody echoed in the hall, and everyone couldn't help but correct their sitting postures.

After a solo, Gu Ran read aloud to the microphone on the piano: "But, sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, who is willing to be slaughtered like pigs and sheep? We are determined to die to defend the Yellow River! Defend North China! Defend All of China!" ["Defend the Yellow River"]

Then there was the chorus of the whole team. Although including the coaching staff, there were only more than 20 of them in total. Everyone's singing was not professional, but with the piano accompaniment, the momentum was not bad at all.

After the whole performance, the audience applauded unprecedentedly, and the leaders nodded frequently: "This is good, this is the best!"

After the serious atmosphere, the other team members began to boo: "Sign up for the Spring Festival Gala!" "Gu Ran has another one!"

The whole team left the stage with this, only Gu Ran was left behind by the host: "They asked you to do another one."

Gu Ran waved her hands again and again: "I can't come, I can't come, this is the one I remember best, and I practiced for more than a week."

The host is a member of the women's figure skating team, who is quite familiar with Gu Ran: "We don't know, but you still have this skill, it seems that you have learned it before."

"I have indeed learned it, and I have studied it for several years."

The host asked him again: "Why did you choose the song "Defending the Yellow River"?"

Gu Ran smiled and said: "There are singing, dancing, rapping, and even sketches. Everyone is amplifying their tricks. We can only find another way."

The host raised his eyebrows: "Really?"

"Fake!" Gu Ran blinked mischievously, then suddenly restrained her smile and said seriously, "Because we want to use this song to express our attitude."

"What attitude?"

"You can always trust the Chinese short track speed skating team. We are the 'sharp knives on ice', and we will defend the honor of China's ice and snow to the death in the Winter Olympics!"

It is not difficult to see that he is very confident when he says this.

Over the past few years, Gu Ran's achievements in the international arena are obvious to all. Whether it is for him personally or for the entire short track speed skating team, the Winter Control Center has high hopes.

This year's Spring Festival coincides with the next two World Cup matches. On the night of New Year's Eve, the whole team is playing in the Dutch town of Heerenveen.

In the afternoon, Gu Ran defeated Yin Canyu and Zheng Minyu, two South Korean players, and won the 1500-meter championship.

It is worth mentioning that Zheng Minyu, compared with last year, his progress is really amazing. This time he even beat Yin Canyu and Gao Ziyi, and got No.2, only losing to Gu Ran by the distance of the tip of the ice skate.

The talented young player of the South Korean team was a little bit unconvinced. When he walked out of the ice rink, he stared at Gu Ran several times, his eyes were very unconvinced, even unfriendly.

Gu Ran doesn't mind at all, it's normal to be unfriendly, it's not right to suddenly become friendly.

The more unconvinced the other party is, the happier he smiles!

When passing by the Dutch coach's bench, Dutch coach Van Biel suddenly stretched out his hand and said to him in awkward Chinese: "Happy Chinese New Year, everything goes well!"

Gu Ran gave him a high-five and replied, "Gong Xi Fa Cai, here are the red envelopes."

Fan Biya couldn't understand, Gu Ran explained: "I just wish you good health."

He was talking nonsense in a serious manner, and Gao Ziyi couldn't help shaking his head beside him.

However, Director Fan was not the only one who said "Happy Chinese New Year" to him. After the awards ceremony, the girl Cui from the South Korean team also ran up to him and stuffed something into his hand: "Happy New Year!"

Cui Zhien seemed to be afraid that he would not accept the gift, but as soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and ran away without a trace.

"This speed...why don't you practice sprinting?"

Gu Ran looked down, and the other party stuffed him with a Chinese knot. It is not difficult to see that this should be made by the girl herself, and the craftsmanship is really not good.

"Oh, what's wrong, I forced someone to stuff it." This thing was not good-looking at all, he didn't like it, but he was embarrassed to throw it away, and put it in the bag on the side of the schoolbag.

On the other side, Yu Jie greeted him to leave quickly, and everyone prepared to go back to the hotel.

Gu Ran responded and raised her head, but she happened to see someone staring at him on the other side of the ice rink.

The eyes were not friendly, even a little resentful.

Gu Ran took a closer look and saw that it was Zheng Minyu of the South Korean team.Gu Ran met his gaze without the slightest dodge, and conveyed four words with his eyes - defeated.

Seeing that he was still standing there, Gao Ziyi quickly gave him a hand, and the two of them walked out.

At this time, Lin Jiaxi leaned over from the side and whispered in his ear: "That Zheng Minyu of the Korean team, he must like Cui Zhien."

Gu Ran was surprised: "You know all of this?"

Lin Jiaxi said: "The way he looked at you just now was wrong, because that Cui Zhien likes you."

Gu Ran rolled her eyes: "Why does he like her, she likes me... Let me tell you that Korean dramas are the least I like to watch. I'm not convinced that he lost to me. I'll win him next time. Hmph! "

Lin Jiaxi raised her forehead: "You pretend I didn't say anything."

After the Dutch game, they flew to Russia non-stop for the final finals, which is the sixth round of the World Cup.

As a result, in this race, that Zheng Minyu performed very strongly in the 1500-meter race, beating all the masters and winning the gold medal.

Yin Canyu was second, Gao Ziyi was third, and Gu Ran only took fourth place.

Including the final finals, Gu Ran signed up for four 4-meter races this season and won two golds and one silver. Only in the last race, he didn't even make it to the top three.

In fact, Gu Ran had already noticed that Zheng Minyu was in very good condition and had made great progress in the last competition.But he didn't take it seriously, how could he know that this stop completely broke out.

Back in the stands, Lin Jiaxi reminded him: "This is the power of love."

"Bah!" Gu Ran picked up the mineral water and took a sip for herself, "What kind of power is love? If love has such a great power, I'll find someone too."

When Chi Lang heard the word "object", he hurried over, "Who are you looking for?"

Gu Ran hooked the corner of her mouth, and said two words coldly: "Gold medal."

"I only like gold medals, I want to fall in love with it!"

Chi Lang immediately came to him, rubbed his hands, and said with a flattering smile: "Take out your partner and share it."

Gu Ran gave him a faint smile: "Get lost!"

"You should have said 'yes'."

"..."

Two days after returning to Beijing, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Jiang Yan called Gu Ran in advance and asked him to come over for dinner.

Gu Ran didn't go because he was about to start school the next day. Although he couldn't go back to class, he had to report.

However, on the day of the Lantern Festival, Gu Changfeng and Xu Mei came to the training base to see him, and threw him a big news: "We moved to Beijing."

"Ah!!!" Gu Ran was sitting between her parents, but when she heard this, she immediately jumped up, "What???"

Gu Changfeng pressed his shoulders again and made him sit down: "I asked my secretary to find a house a few years ago. I rented it for a year, and then moved here after a year."

Gu Ran: "..."

He was still in shock and couldn't recover: "You...you didn't discuss it with me."

Xu Mei took his hand: "I wanted to discuss it with you. I originally planned to move here a few years ago to spend the Spring Festival with you, but you are competing abroad, and your father said not to distract you."

Gu Ran smiled awkwardly: "I'm not talking about the time, I'm talking about such a big thing as moving to Beijing, why didn't you discuss it with me?"

Xu Mei didn't expect his reaction to be so strong: "Because your father said that he will focus on Beijing for the next year, so he wants to rent a house here, so I said that I will move here with him for a year to save him from going back and forth. Run, and I can come over to see you by the way."

Gu Ran suddenly realized: "So it's because of my dad's work, so come and see me by the way."

Xu Mei slapped him on the back of the hand: "Aren't you still happy to come and accompany you in the college entrance examination last year?"

Gu Ran said: "I'm not afraid that you won't be used to living in Beijing alone. Since you're with your husband, it doesn't matter."

"What?" Xu Mei slapped him again, "Your mother also has to work."

Gu Ran nodded: "Yes, CFO, that's amazing."

Gu Changfeng sighed beside him: "I want to take you out for a good meal, but you can't eat this or that."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "I can eat some vegetarian food."

"When parents take you out, just eat some vegetarian food, is it reasonable?"

Xu Mei also said: "I want to buy you something, you don't need this or that."

"Other people's children go to college, that is the top priority in the family, and the parents leave work to accompany him to school."

"It's good for you. You go by yourself when school starts, and you don't let us accompany you."

Gu Ran was overjoyed: "Didn't I just take the subway and go there? It's a lot of work for you to come here."

He thought for a while: "I start school tomorrow, why don't you go with me?"

He also made a special appointment to ask his parents to wait for him at the gate of the school, but early the next morning, his father had already driven the car to the gate of the training base to wait for him.

Gu Ran accompanied her parents around the school, and Gu Changfeng said with emotion: "I missed this school too."

Xu Mei knowingly asked, "Then why didn't you come?"

Gu Changfeng smiled and said, "Fortunately, I didn't come. I won't meet you when I come."

Standing next to his mother, Gu Ran was forced to take a mouthful of dog food: "How about I invite you to the cafeteria for lunch?"

Gu Changfeng asked him: "Do you usually go out for dinner with your classmates?"

Gu Ran shook her head: "My classmates don't have dinner parties, they are very busy every day, and they won't waste time on meaningless social interactions."

The couple looked at each other, and Xu Mei asked again: "Then how is your relationship with your classmates?"

Gu Ran said: "Very good, I'll take you to my dormitory later. Besides me, the other three are all masters."

Xu Mei didn't believe it. In his eyes, his son was a good boy who was one in a million, and the other children were far behind.

Gu Ran briefly introduced them to the other three people in the dormitory, such as No.1 in the physics competition and the world champion in the information competition. Speaking of Wei Yuening, his parents had a little impression, because they met at the school gate during the college entrance examination: "It's just That polite male classmate with glasses, is he in the same class as you now?"

Gu Ran nodded: "It's still a dormitory, it has helped me a lot."

Gu Changfeng glanced at the introduction on the wall, and said with emotion: "Your major is really good."

"Of course!" Gu Ran said, "You don't even look at the number of students and teachers in our class, have you heard of the Turing Award?"

Gu Changfeng raised his eyebrows: "Student Gu Ran, if I remember correctly, your computer teacher is your father and me."

"Eh..." Gu Ran twirled his arm, "Yes, yes, you are my idol, otherwise why would I have to choose this major."

Gu Changfeng said: "Remember to come back and work for me after graduation."

Gu Ran was shocked: "Are you planning to retire early?"
