Strategy

Sang Tian walked to the locker room.

"Lin Xue?"

She called out, but no one answered.

Sang Tian murmured in his heart: Is he not here anymore?

Just as he was about to knock on the door and go in, the door was pulled open from the inside.

Sang Tian and Lin Xue who bumped into each other were stunned.

Lin Xue didn't expect Sang Tian to come over suddenly, and Sang Tian didn't expect Lin Xue to be dressed so...sensibly.

Lin Xue was wearing a black gauze Costen.The so-called Costen is the clothes worn by figure skaters when they perform.Lin Xue's set today is very different from the common rhinestones or Kosten, which uses a lot of sparkling materials. It is made of soft silk and vast black.

Looking up at the night sky on the day of the winter solstice is almost comparable to a long polar night, but you always know in your heart that the longest day of winter night is about to pass.

And Lin Xue's eyes replaced all the stars, making the silky satin at the junction of her chest and the deep V on her back turn into a gurgling stream in the cold night, receiving the baptism of starlight.

Sang Tian felt that Lin Xue was like a forest on a winter night, and the compass collectively failed when she walked in, making people willing to be trapped to death in it.

Lin Xue saw Sang Tian blankly: "What's wrong?"

Sang Tian said bluntly, "It's nothing."

Careless, Sang Tian!

Originally, after Lin Xue said that she wanted to chase after Sang Tian, ​​Sang Tian put up all her energy and was always on guard against Lin Xue saying or doing something provocative without knowing it.

But she put all her attention on defending against external attacks, how could she forget that the biggest loophole is herself!

She was the one who was interested in Lin Xue from the very beginning!

At this time, Lin Xue was wearing Costen like this and looked at her. The skin on her chest and arms was exposed from the almost transparent tulle, and was set off by the ambiguous black, which was almost snow-white under the moonlight. Tian is a person who likes to play with snow very much. She found that she had an instinctive urge to bury her face in it and rub it for a while.

But it was impossible for her to do so, she could only continue to ask Lin Xue in a blunt tone: "What do you want me for?"

"Don't you want to collect it privately? It's in the locker room, it's quiet here." She let the door open, and Sang Tian had no choice but to come in.

The small dressing room was really quiet, and there wasn't even a makeup artist in it before it was time for makeup.Lin Xue didn't know how long she had been resting inside alone, but as soon as Sang Tian came in, she could smell the fragrance of ice moss on her body overwhelming.

This, this, this is a bit too quiet!

Sang Tian swallowed her saliva, and unconsciously shrank by the door.

"Why are you standing so far away?" Xue Lin said, "Can you do me a favor first?"

Sang Tian said with a trembling voice, "What what?"

Lin Xue wouldn't say that her lips were swollen and itchy from mosquito bites, so let Sang Tian scratch her with her teeth, right?

Fortunately, it turned out that Sang Tian was thinking too much, because Lin Xue just walked over and turned her back to Sang Tian: "Help me see if I haven't taken care of my back."

Just when Sang Tian was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he glanced at Lin Xue's back—you were careless again, Sang Tian!

Just hit Lin Xue's back!The lethality is no less than Lin Xue's face directly!

The whole back is flat and white, as if no one has ever stepped on the snow, only a pair of butterfly bones are stretched lightly, as if taking the whole person to flutter their wings.

As a well-known reporter in her previous life, Sang Tian had seen some female stars on various occasions. Several of them were famous for their beautiful backs. Every time they chose a dress, they would choose a style with a large back.

But Sang Tian said without exaggeration that she had never seen a person with Lin Xue's back line, which was as perfect as an ancient Greek sculpture.

It was only then that Sang Tian realized that Lin Xue was very perverted—you could tell from the muscle lines on her back. For so many years, Lin Xue had used all kinds of bad living habits to ruin her body, and at the same time, Never give up diet control and muscle training.

While he kept saying that he should stay away from the ice, he never gave up the remaining hope in his heart.

If Lin Xue was such an awkward person, did she really think so when she said she shouldn't investigate Chao Xi's affairs?

Then why did she blame herself for lingering on for so many years, and even lost her sense of taste?

While thinking about this, Sang Tian helped Lin Xue tidy up Costen's back.

Lin Xue moved her back slightly with her breathing, and her skin smoother than satin rubbed against Sang Tian's fingers, and Sang Tian's hand shrank suddenly.

Lin Xue smiled slightly hurt: "You don't need to hide from me like this, do you? I said I wanted to chase you and you were so reluctant?"

But Sang Tian only said, "Costen takes care of it."

Lin Xue stood up straight and turned to face Sang Tian.

Sang Tian: "Lin Xue, no matter what, I want to ask you again, don't you really want to find out about Chao Xi?"

Lin Xue frowned: "Didn't I say that, if the investigation continues, then Chao Xi's parents and your mother..."

"I'm not asking about these." Sang Tian shook his head: "I'm not asking about all these people you need to consider, I'm asking you, what do you think?"

Lin Xue was startled.

Sang Tian: "You seem to always think about others, never about yourself. Back then, I practiced figure skating well to live up to Wen Hsinchu. I ran away before the World Championships to take care of Chao Xi's parents. Now I'm back Bing Mian is for Chao Xi's dream, and signed a commercial show, and it is for me and my mother."

"Lin Xue, you carry everyone on your shoulders, why can't you ask yourself, what are your truest feelings and thoughts?"

Lin Xue: "Do you think I have no self?"

Sang Tian: "When you regard everyone as your responsibility, in fact everyone also becomes your shield."

Lin Xue: "Do you think I take you too seriously and bring you a lot of pressure?"

Sang Tian: "Honestly speaking, if you live in this way, you are tired, and so are the people around you."

"Lin Xue, if you really want to chase me, don't put anyone more important than yourself, including me. In the future, if you encounter anything, you should first ask yourself how you feel, okay?"

******

At this time, someone knocked on the door of the dressing room, and two makeup artists came in: "Xuexue, it's time to put on makeup."

Sang Tian wondered why these people have the same problem with Tang Shishan, calling Lin Xue so close, is Lin Xue's lethality to all women too much.

Lin Xue glanced at Sang Tian.

Sang Tian said: "It's okay, you can put on makeup first, and I will do the private photoshoot later, but can I ask my colleague to come in and take a picture of the makeup process?"

She has a natural intuition as a good reporter, knowing which points can most arouse public discussion and attention.

Lin Xue nodded: "Yes."

Sang Tian hurriedly called Ding Yuning in.

Ding Yuning was almost ready to take pictures with the camera, so she sneaked up to Sang Tian and whispered to her, "Chu Lingxue's salary is really high when she comes back. Today's team configuration is too good, right?"

Sang Tian: "What's wrong?"

Ding Yuning: "No way, you don't know these two makeup artists? They are million bloggers, okay? They're so popular, they not only do makeup for various stars, but also record makeup videos for themselves. By the way, on behalf of The makeup on the show is also done by them."

Sang Tian really doesn't know her. In her previous life, she was busy with her career. In this life, she is busy with Sang Jia. In addition, her own makeup method is very rough, and she has never studied beauty makeup.

Ding Yuning looked at the two make-up artists with envy and said, "I didn't expect them to be so good-looking in real life. I thought the selfies they posted were all due to P!"

At this moment, there was a creaking sound, and Ding Yuning looked horrified: "There won't be any rats in this studio, right?"

It was only then that Sang Tian found out that it was Sang Tian who was digging at the door panel with his nails, staring at the direction of Lin Xue's makeup with resentment on his face.

Ding Yuling followed her gaze - one of the makeup artists lifted up Lin Xue's shoulder-length hair, stroked it a few times, and put it up to her nose to smell it without saying anything.

Sang Tian: "Whether the quality of hair is good or not can be detected by smell? She is a police dog!"

Ding Yuning was stunned: "We are not professional, we don't know either!"

Another make-up artist held five lip brushes in his hand and felt that they were not enough. He stared at Lin Xue's lips for a long time, and finally helped Lin Xue apply the lipstick evenly. Like a spirit, she kept rubbing back and forth in front of Lin Xue's mouth, making Sang Tian dizzy.

Sang Tian: "Hands are easier to use than lip brushes, aren't they? Could it be that mouths are easier to use than hands?"

Ding Yuning was stunned: "We are not professional, we don't know either!"

Sang Tian: "Can you say something else?"

Ding Yuning stared at Sang Tian: "You are not jealous, are you?"

Sang Tian: "I eat farts!"

Ding Yuning: "Then you have a bit of a strong taste."

Sang Tian: "...Why do you become so poor after staying with me for a while? I mean, can I be jealous? I have nothing to do with her now."

Ding Yuning: "Then why did you slam the door even louder?"

Sang Tian: "I didn't cut my nails well this morning, can I come here for a manicure?"

Ding Yuning laughed beside her, and picked up the camera to take pictures of Lin Xue.

After Lin Xue finished putting on her makeup, Ding Yuning's material was almost finished. When it was time to take a promotional photo, the group walked out of the dressing room.

Lin Xue put on the ice skates and walked to the background board, guessing what special effects will be added in the later stage. Right now it is just a bare green screen.

But Lin Xue stopped there lazily, and Sang Tian could automatically replace the green screen with ice and snow, cliffs and ice edges.

Sang Tian heard several staff members whispering, "Chu Lingxue is a born champion."

Ding Yuning held the camera and snapped another quick photo of Lin Xue: "This looks amazing! There isn't even a single piece of trash! It's not like I can only pick five out of [-] selfies!"

After the photos were taken, a bus took everyone to the ice rink. In order to warm up the commercial performance in a month and a half later, a group of short videos will be shot today.

Lin Xue first put on ice skates to warm up her lower body, and a group of sisters and sisters secretly took pictures on the sidelines with their mobile phones: "Ah, ah, I saw a real Chen Lingxue skating!"

"Are we saying that this kind of beauty is real? Are you afraid that I will propose to her with a 720-degree Thomas full spin and cartwheel?"

The director had already smiled and told them: "Shooting goes back to shooting, don't let it out."

At this time, the warm-up was over, and Lin Xue put a protective cover on the skates and walked off the ice.

The director arranged for the team to go over to the set and lighting. Sang Tian took the interview outline and recording pen and sat at a small table on the sidelines to wait. The interview took advantage of this gap.

All the lights were focused on the ice, and Lin Xue was sitting at the table with her face hidden in the shadows.

Sang Tian suddenly stretched out his palm in front of Lin Xue's face, and Lin Xue blinked: "...Even if you think my answer is not good, you won't slap me, right?"

Sang Tian's palm stopped in front of Lin Xue's face: "Well, I'm really shaking."

She felt Lin Xue's eyelashes were tipped like butterfly wings, trembling slightly in her palm: "Lin Xue, you are trembling."

The great fear of the ice surface, accompanied by nine years of avoidance like fleeing, has permeated Lin Xue's every blood vessel and the end of every nerve like poison.

And how could it be overcome by Lin Xue's decision to put on ice skates overnight.

Sang Tian withdrew his hand: "How can you be less afraid?"

It's impossible not to be afraid, but it's good to make Lin Xue less afraid.

Lin Xue: "Anything is fine?"

Sang Tian: "Well, everything is fine."

Lin Xue smiled triumphantly.

Sang Tian thought what she was going to do, but she just glanced at Sang Tian's hand on her knee, stretched out her own hand, pinched Sang Tian's fingertips quickly, and then withdrew.

Sang Tian was stunned for a moment: "Is this enough?"

Lin Xue smiled and nodded: "This is enough." She curled up her hands, as if she wanted to keep the temperature of Sang Tian's fingertips in her hands for a longer time: "Aren't I still chasing you? gone."

Sang Tian was almost moved in his heart.

She thought of Tao Qinian in her previous life, let alone when she was chasing her, she wished she could cling to her at the party when she first met her.

She thought it was because Tao Qinian valued her.

But after getting to know Lin Xue in this life, all of Lin Xue's actions told her one sentence - "Like is presumptuous, but love is restrained".

At this time, the director had already set up the lights, and was asking Lin Xue to go on the ice.

Lin Xue stood up and walked over there, her hands still curled up slightly, as if carrying the warmth of Sang Tian's fingertips.

Sang Tian called out to her back: "Lin Xue."

Xue Lin turned her head.

Sang Tian: "I don't want to ask, why did I see that you were shaking just now?"

Xue Lin: "Why?"

Sang Tian: "Because I've been watching you too."

Just like your eyes have always been on me, my eyes have always been on you.

Xue Lin: "Always?"

Sang Tian: "Well, when you go on the ice later, I will always watch you."

Lin Xue lowered her head and smiled.

When she raised her head again, there was light in her eyes, like a king who was once unrepentant, suddenly had the trump card of thousands of horses.

The ice rink was completely dark, and when the only beam of light hit Lin Xue's face, she looked like a night elf that stirred people's hearts.

Everyone at the ice rink let out a low exclamation at the strange visual effect.

Everyone was looking at whether Lin Xue was beautiful or not, only Sang Tian looked into Lin Xue's eyes against the light.

She was looking to see if Lin Xue was afraid.

******

When Lin Xue was on the ice, facing the lights, she could clearly see how many people surrounded the court - the director, the staff, and even several figure skating coaches and choreographers she knew before.

I don't know how those people got the interview pass. Anyway, everyone is surrounded by the sidelines, and all eyes are on her.

Before Chao Xi had an accident, when her ankle was not injured, she had received such attention for countless times, and she had never been afraid.

But now, her right ankle was aching, and she twisted slightly, and no one noticed her little movement.

In fact, she didn't know that the tearing pain from the ruptured Achilles tendon until now was all due to her psychological effect.

The previous operation was very successful, and the shocking wound has already turned into a faint scar after nearly ten years. All the doctors who saw her injury said that she is recovering very well.

She was just scared.

The glare of the light in front of her eyes gradually turned pale. She had seen the same pale thing in her 24-year-old life, and it seemed that there was only one face—the pale face after Chao Xi's death, which was burnt by the purgatory fire of the crematorium. Once burned, it turned into a handful of ashes.

At that time, Chao Xi's parents completely collapsed, and it was Lin Xue who carried Chao Xi's ashes and took her out of the crematorium.

Afterwards, she always dreamed, and Chao Xi cried and said to her in the dream: "Xiaoxue, run away."

But recently she couldn't help thinking: Is it because Chao Xi is afraid?Or is she scared?

Chao Xi was the one who insisted on standing on the ice until the last moment. Chao Xi said: "If I live without skating, my life is meaningless."

Lin Xue took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

Her cowardice clamored for her to give up, and she could find countless excuses, such as the old ankle injury really hurting, such as Chao Xi's entrustment could not be lived up to.

But when she opened her eyes, facing the light, she looked towards the sidelines.

A pair of smiling eyes are there, hiding the spring breeze, hiding the sunshine, hiding the first morning dew on the willow branches, hiding all the beauty that Xue Lin could not touch in the dark swamp.

Sang Tian just stood there, looking at Lin Xue as she promised.

In an instant.

The lights were gone, the crowd was gone, the stares were gone, the pain in my right ankle was gone.

That smile is like a natural warm sun, making the once cooled blood in the blood vessels roar again.

Sang Tian, ​​please look at me.

Please keep... looking at me with that gaze.

When Lin Xue's ice blade drew the first beautiful arc on the ice, everyone on the sidelines let out another low exclamation.

Sang Tian realized that the strength of Chu Lingxue is not even in the difficult spins and jumps she can do, but in the fact that as long as she stands on the ice, even if she only does a simple slide, you can feel the quality. s difference.

Dai Qing has been at the top of women's singles figure skating for so many years, but compared to her, Chu Lingxue is on another level.

If Dai Qing's positioning is graceful, then Chu Lingxue is Youlong, Jinghong, and the whistling of the starry sky in the cold night.

When she slides the skates, the whole world of ice and snow is under her feet.

When skating across the perimeter of the ice rink, Lin Xue clasped her hands together in front of her chest, closed her eyes and bowed her head to Sang Tian, ​​then opened her eyes, and slid away without a trace.

I don't know if anyone saw it, just now it was an almost worshipful gesture.

Sang Tian, ​​please stay there all the time.

Let your eyes be the light of my world.

******

After Lin Xue's skating was over, today's video was successfully filmed.

She went to the locker room of the ice rink to replace Kosten, and refused the company's arrangement to send her back with a car. She walked out of the ice rink alone with a big sports bag on her shoulder.

She wanted to take a walk, because the feeling of flying freely on the ice was really a long time ago, and until now, she could still feel the blood rushing in every blood vessel.

She wanted to find someone to share with, but when she walked out of the ice rink and looked around, Sang Tian was nowhere to be seen, and she probably left with her colleagues.

Then Lin Xue discovered that she wasn't looking for someone to share with.

She just wanted to share with Sang Tian.

For example, today's taxiing seems to be flying, for example, the lights of the stadium today are a bit dazzling, but it makes you smile beautifully, for example, the sunset is so gentle today, is it a bit lonely to walk alone?

The smiling face by the bushes in the corner made Lin Xue stunned for a moment, and almost trotted over there.

He calmed down and panted again, not wanting Sang Tian to see his eagerness: "You haven't left yet?"

Sang Tian looked at Lin Xue with a smile.

Instead, Lin Xue became a little uncomfortable, looking down at the ground on one side.

Then she felt that Sang Tian's hand, warm and soft, gently landed on the top of her head: "Well done, little wolf cub."

Lin Xue lowered her head almost instinctively, letting Sang Tian touch her head more smoothly.

She thought, if she is really a wolf cub, she must be wagging her tail by now.

What's more, Sang Tian smiled and asked her: "Would you like a reward?"

Lin Xue looked up at Sang Tian, ​​under the setting sun, her eyes were so bright, her face had peach-like fluff, her lips were like a ripe cherry, just waiting to be picked and tasted.

Lin Xue suddenly became nervous, stared at Sang Tian's lips and asked, "What reward?"

Sang Tian smiled and said, "Please eat ice cream."

Xue Lin: ...

Well that's fine too.

******

There is an ice cream shop nearby that is very popular on the internet, and Sang Tian only found out about it thanks to Yang Jingsi's blessing.

When she brought Lin Xue into the store, the clerk's sister's eyes lit up all of a sudden: "Are you, are you Chu Lingxue?"

Lin Xue nodded.

Clerk sister: "You wait."

Then Sang Tian watched helplessly, the clerk’s sister turned around and put her fist in her mouth to perform three silent groundhog screams, then turned around and held up an ice cream scoop and said calmly: “You can choose whatever flavor you want ,free!"

Lin Xue said that the order cannot be waived, and the clerk's sister was so anxious that she almost didn't quarrel with her.

It was Sang Tian who came to smooth things over: "Stop arguing, I actually paid for the two ice creams today."

The clerk's sister blinked twice: "Oh, it's not Chu Lingxue paying the bill, then it's fine." She passed the QR code over in a hurry: "Two balls 96 thank you."

Sang Tian: "...Can't we get a discount?"

The clerk's sister was stern and selfless: "We are a famous chain brand, so how can we give discounts casually!"

Lin Xue lowered her head and almost didn't laugh out loud.

Sang Tian glared at her, took an ice cream and led her to find the corner table: "It's hot enough now, won't you get used to it?"

Xue Lin: "It's okay."

Sang Tian thought for a while: "Is this how you lived when you were 15?"

Lin Xue nodded: "At that time, the commercialization of athletes was not so thorough, but after all, they won the championship after defeating Russia. During that time, all the endorsements came, and I was under the management of the club, unlike many athletes who were under the control of the national team. restrictions, so it was really popular at the time and made a lot of money.”

Sang Tian remembered that Chu Lingxue was really popular at that time. She used to be a person who didn't pay attention to sports at all, and she frequently saw Chu Lingxue on TV.

But as for how much money you made, it is very mysterious, Sang Tian couldn't help asking: "How much did you make at that time?"

Xue Lin gave her a simple comparison.

Sang Tian: ...

People in their teens can easily earn eight figures!Her teenage years were about playing in mud!

Sang Tian finally knew where the noble temperament in Lin Xue who didn't put money in his eyes came from - because it was easy for her to make money, and she had seen big money since she was a child!

Sang Tian asked: "Have all the money been given to Chao Shu and Aunt Chao?"

Lin Xue shook her head: "At that time, I was too young, and I was stunned by the money for a while and wasted a lot. Later, I temporarily withdrew from the World Championships and violated the contract, and I paid a part of it. After that, I bought a pair for Aunt Chao and Uncle Chao in Mudu and Suzhou. A house, nothing left."

So much so that he had to come to Beicheng to work two jobs, fearing that Chao Shuchao and Aunt Chao would be pressured to spend so much money on medicine every month.

Sang Tian thought to herself that Lin Xue's life was really a roller coaster of ups and downs: "Then now that you have signed a commercial show, you have regained your previous life?"

Lin Xue raised the corners of her lips and smiled lazily: "Actually, I really don't care about money."

Sang Tian: "Then what do you care about?"

While talking, a voice sounded from the side: "Xuexue, what a coincidence?"

When Sang Tian turned his head, he saw the two makeup artists standing there just now, smiling at Lin Xue.

Sang Tian, ​​although he is good-looking, has never paid much attention to dressing himself. He takes a minimalist approach. He always feels that he is out of place when he meets these two makeup artists. Human phobia" is about to be committed.

On the other hand, Lin Xue, dressed lazily, with a high-class world-weary face, seemed to match these two makeup artists.

A make-up artist smiled and said, "We just came to buy ice cream after shopping. We didn't expect to meet you here. Just now Cici invited us to a party in her new bar. Would you like to come with me?"

Sang Tian thought that according to Lin Xue's personality, she would refuse, but she didn't expect Lin Xue to say, "Okay."

Half of the unfinished ice cream was still on the table, Lin Xue stood up and walked towards the two makeup artists.

When she turned around halfway through the walk, Sang Tian thought she regretted not wanting to go, but she just asked, "If I go, you won't be angry, will you?"

Sang Tian acted like a wolf with a big tail: "What can I be angry about?"

Lin Xue nodded: "Really? That's good." After speaking, she really followed the two makeup artists and left without looking back.

Sang Tian was left alone, thinking to the half ice cream scoop in the box that was melting and becoming uglier and uglier—wait a minute, was it a bit early when she said that Lin Xue took her too seriously?

Looking at it now, after Lin Xue regained her past life, it will be quite colorful!

The author has something to say:

Before I knew it, it was New Year's Eve, and I had been with you all for a year... In the past year, although the data has been down, so on the occasion of the New Year, I wish you, who gave me a lot of preferences, to have heaven Lots and lots of preferences!
