Strategy

Although Lin Xue and Sang Tian went to find Dai Qing together in the first points match, but after the match, they returned to the state of not talking to each other.

Sang Tian is very busy, busy with work, part-time jobs, running to the hospital, and investigating cases with Chi Xia.

Of course, it didn't mean that she was so busy that she didn't even have time to call Lin Xue, but the more she investigated the case, the more she felt that the things behind it were not that simple.

She is like a person standing on a glacier in the vast sea, and it looks like a smooth road ahead, but in fact, a shark will jump up in the bottomless sea at any time, and smash the glacier on which she lives.

When she didn't even know if she could survive, let the amulet she begged for accompany Lin Xue instead of her.

But as a sports reporter, it's not that she and Lin Xue didn't have the chance to meet each other.

ISU Nagoya Station also does not have pre-match interviews, but like Beicheng Station, there are simple post-match interviews. Sang Tian and Ding Yuning can still sit in the press box and watch Xue Lin challenge Mika Mizuno again.

But the plans couldn't keep up with the changes.

Sang Tian had already obtained his passport, but he received a temporary political assignment to cover a Chinese chess match held in Yangcheng. He said that he had read a manuscript written by Sang Tian and thought it was well written. , asked Sang Tian to go to the interview by name.

Lao He temporarily decided to split the two-person team of Sang Tian and Ding Yuning. Sang Tian went to Yangcheng, and Ding Yuning went to Nagoya, Japan alone, and collected on-site materials for Sang Tian to write.

Sang Tian thought about it, and when he came home from the hospital at night to help Sang Jia get things, he still called Lin Xue: "This time you compete, I won't go to the scene."

Xue Lin: "Oh."

Not knowing if Lin Xue was training, she hung up the phone without even saying "goodbye".

The speed was so fast that Sang Tian was a little confused.

Originally, she made this call because she promised that she would always look at Lin Xue in all of Lin Xue's most glorious moments.And the last time when Lin Xue asked her for an amulet, she felt that although the two of them seemed to be far apart, there were actually many invisible ties between them.

But sometimes she thinks it's just her narcissistic illusion.

For example, now, the wolf cub hung up the phone without hesitation, as if he didn't care about her not being able to go to Japan to watch the game.

Sang Tian was stunned for a while, sighed, and began to translate the manuscript sitting in front of the laptop.Sometimes the translation is too difficult, and it is difficult for her to concentrate when the hospital is full of people coming and going, but she can't lose this part-time job, because Sanjia's medical expenses still depend on her.

She kept the most difficult manuscript every time, and finished translating the manuscript at home every time she went home to help Sanja get things.

Just as Sang Tian was banging on the keyboard with his hands, the doorbell rang.

Sang Tian wondered which courier brother went wrong again?The buildings and unit signs in their community are too messy, and she must give some advice to the property when she finishes her work.

She opened the door: "Wrong way, here is the tenth building..."

The door turned out to be Lin Xue's face, her hair was wet and still dripping.

Sang Tian was stunned for a moment, then glanced out from the corridor: "It's not raining?"

Lin Xue: "When you called me just now, I was taking a shower after training."

Sang Tian: "Can you still answer the phone in the shower?"

Lin Xue looked down at the ground with some awkwardness: "Just take your phone in and put it on the shelf in the bathroom."

Sang Tian: "Waiting for a very important call?" She thought for a while: "Is it from ISU? It has something to do with your qualifications? Then I called you just now, didn't it delay you?"

Lin Xue glared at her: "There is no delay."

Sang Tian: "Did you receive a call to wait for?"

Lin Xue glared at her again: "Got it."

Sang Tian: "Then why are you here now..."

Xue Lin: "Why don't you go to Japan? Aren't you a sports reporter? Who else is more important to interview than me?"

Sang Tian was amused by her dragging the sky and the ground, and then she found that Lin Xue was still panting. With Lin Xue's physical fitness as a professional athlete, she ran all the way from the gate of the community to her house. .

Sang Tian reacted abruptly: Lin Xue didn't even have time to blow her head after taking a shower, so she came here in a hurry just to ask her this question face to face?

Her heart softened, she pulled Lin Xue in, let Lin Xue sit on the sofa, took out the hair dryer herself, and let Lin Xue blow her hair.

The wolf cub was quite dishonest, and kept wanting to turn his head to look at her: "I'm not here to blow my hair."

Sang Tian held her head gently but firmly with his hand: "Don't move around."

"Listen to Lin Xue, it's not that I don't want to go, I really want to go. It's because our group temporarily received a task from above, and I have to go to Yangcheng for an interview."

The wolf cub fell silent.

"But." Sang Tian held the blower in one hand and gently played with her hair with the other: "Remember, no matter where I am when you compete in the future, the things I promised you will not change."

"In all your most glorious moments, I will always look at you without blinking my eyes."

So Lin Xue, feel free to fly until your vibrating wings touch the sky and touch the sun's rays.

She dried Lin Xue's hair, put away the blower, sat opposite Lin Xue and closed her eyes: "Touch it."

Lin Xue was stunned: "What?"

Sang Tian closed her eyes and said, "When you were young, didn't Dai Qing and many other children come to touch your forehead, trying to suck your European spirit?"

"I should have been lucky recently. The old lady has been in a stable condition since the operation. So, come and touch my forehead, and I will share my good luck with you."

Xue Lin: "Okay."

Sang Tian closed her eyes and waited. Something warm and soft touched her forehead. She quickly realized that it was not Lin Xue's hand, but Lin Xue's lips.

Thinking of the current relationship between the two of them, she instinctively wanted to hide, but was held back by Lin Xue.

It was a long kiss.

Finally Lin Xue let go of her, and said softly: "Don't worry about anything else, it's just sharing good luck like this, it's more thorough."

She stood up: "Then I'm leaving."

Sang Tian stood up with a "huh" and lowered her head to send Lin Xue to the door. The sudden kiss just now completely messed up her heart that had been holding back for a long time.

Now she only hopes that Lin Xue will leave quickly, otherwise she is afraid that she will not be able to withstand Lin Xue's offensive.

She hurriedly wanted to close the door, but Lin Xue blocked it.

Sang Tian panicked, but Lin Xue didn't intend to come in again, she just said: "There is a wagashi shop in Nagoya that is very famous, tea pickled green plums are their signature, but the shelf life is very short, you must eat it on the same day."

Sang Tian didn't understand, and stared blankly at Lin Xue.

Lin Xue reached out and pressed her head: "I will bring it back. If you want to eat it within the warranty period, you can pick me up at the airport."

******

While Lin Xue flew to Nagoya, Japan, Sang Tian flew to Yangcheng.

Autumn is deep now, and Beicheng is already a little cold, but when it arrives in the south, it is still as hot as summer.

When Sang Tian came this time, he cooperated with the local media in Yangcheng. After covering the scene of the chess competition, he went to their office to write an article.

A few people had a meeting to set the direction first. After Sang Tian finished writing the manuscript, the few people checked again to see if there was anything to be revised.

A very sudden incident happened when I was revising the manuscript. The air conditioner in the office was broken. Even though it was almost evening, the office was still as hot as a steamer.

Sang Tian's white shirt was soon drenched in sweat and stuck to his back. Several reporters felt sorry for him: "I'm sorry, but I couldn't find the electric fan just now. I can only work hard for you to persevere."

Sang Tian wiped the sweat off his brow with a smile: "It's fine."

It was almost seven o'clock when the manuscript was edited, and the reporters on the other side, even locals, couldn't bear the heat: "Finally liberated!"

Several people quickly packed up their computers and prepared to sneak out of the steamer.

Sang Tian: "Excuse me, is it convenient for me to stay in your office for a while?"

The other party looked at Sang Tian with a look of "are you crazy?": "It's not inconvenient, but why are you staying here? You will really suffer from heat stroke."

Sang Tian smiled: "I just want to surf the Internet for a while."

The other party: "Doesn't the hotel have internet?"

The hotel has Internet access, but Lin Xue's match will start in half an hour. Sang Tian is now taking a taxi to rush back. Although it should be in time, she can't help but think: What if there is one more red light?What if a car breaks down on the road and there is a traffic jam?

She didn't want to take any risk to miss any second of Lin Xue's game.

She may always remember this dusk. She was in a small office in the south of the motherland that was retro and time-travelling. The sweat-soaked white shirt was tightly stuck to her back. The cicadas outside the window were singing loudly. Lin Xue was dressed in black Sten, skating off the ice rink in Nagoya, Japan.

The fierce aura on her face and the smooth ice surface can't be said to be colder, and the look she stared deeply at the camera before the short program started seemed to hide infinite tenderness.

It seemed that someone clearly knew the side of the camera, and someone was looking at her without blinking.

And, keep looking at her.

******

The next day, Sang Tian went to interview the second half of the chess competition. After writing the manuscript as usual, he watched Lin Xue's free skating competition in the partner's office.

Early on the third day, after making sure that all the manuscripts were fine, she flew back to Beicheng from Yangcheng.

After landing, she took a two-hour leave with Lao He, went to the hospital to see Sang Jia first, and took the chicken biscuits for Sang Jia by the way.

Entering the ward, Sang Jia was watching Lin Xue's free skating competition last night with a tablet.

Sang Tian: "Old lady, you are a bit of a fake fan. Why are you watching it now after the competition was over last night? Don't go chasing your old fresh TV series last night, right?"

Sang Jia waved his hand: "Where! This is the 1 times I watched the game video!"

Aunt Fang complained at the side: "Your mother has gone crazy, she even thinks this soundtrack is not good, and even said that she will make a square dance with this soundtrack, so that all the old sisters in the hospital will dance together."

Sang Tian was delighted: "That's good, I haven't seen an old lady who uses Beethoven sonatas as the soundtrack for square dancing."

Sang Jia: "I think the soundtrack is good, and that's because Lin Xue skates so well, it really hits my heart. You said that if I had the opportunity to learn figure skating when I was young, wouldn't it be like this when I stood on the court? Let me just say that Lin Xue looks more like me than you!"

Sang Tian: "Hey, why are you here again, old lady! Whoever you think looks better looks more like your own daughter, right?"

Sang Jia: "Don't make me so superficial, Lin Xue is not only good-looking, but also has good skills! Look at this jump, it's so high and floating, why did it still lose to the smiling tiger in Japan?"

In fact, Sang Tian was somewhat puzzled by the fact that Lin Xue still lost to Mizuno at the Nagoya station.

Originally, as soon as Lin Xue finished free skating, Ding Yuning called her excitedly: "Sister Sang! I think you're going to take the milky mooncake from me this time!"

Both Lin Xue and Mizuno successfully completed the whole set of movements. When Lin Xue sat in the same division, Mizuno, who was currently sitting in the first seat, seemed very nervous.

Sang Tian was also nervous. The air conditioner in the office had been repaired that day, and he could no longer hear the cicadas outside the window, only the humming sound from the air outlet of the air conditioner.

Sang Tian didn't have Ding Yuning's hand to pinch, so he could only pinch his own.

The score came out, Lin Xue was only 0.1 points lower than Mizuno!

Mizuno looked relieved - at least in Nagoya, where she played at home, her sub-station championship was temporarily saved.

As for this championship, it is not known whether there are some home court advantage points subconsciously given by the referee.

Lin Xue was very sensible in the post-match interview: "I think Mizuno also skied a complete program, and it is possible for either of us to win the championship."

"As for whether the scoring is unfair, I think that if an athlete doesn't find shortcomings in her own movements after the game, but only thinks about complaining about the unfairness of the referee, then she will be finished."

Sang Tian agreed with Lin Xue's statement very much, and she felt that with Mizuno's free skating, she deserved to win the championship.

At this moment, he criticized Sang Jia: "Old lady, the little girl is very good at skating, don't call her nicknames indiscriminately."

Sang Jia looked protective: "I don't care! I don't like anyone who is our opponent!"

She casually pointed at Dai Qing in the camera and said, "Although this girl is also a Chinese athlete, she looks quite pretty, but she is also an opponent of Xue, right? You can see that she can't dance at all. What is it like a weight?" of."

Sang Tian: "...Old lady, your mouth is really poisonous."

Sang Jia was not only poisonous in her mouth but also in her eyes. She was right. Dai Qing did control his jumping height this time, which not only caused him to fall, but also barely completed enough jumping cycles.

At this moment, Sang Tian's cell phone rang suddenly, and Sang Tian took it out to see that it was Lao He: "Sang Tian, ​​how is Auntie doing?"

Sang Tian: "It's good, you're just kidding with me! What's the matter?"

Lao He: "If you can walk away, go to the east of the city with Ding Yuning, where Dai Qing suddenly wants to hold a press conference."

Sang Tian: "Ding Yuning and Dai Qing are back already?"

Lao He: "I came back last night. Only Lin Xue, as the runner-up in the sub-station, still has some procedures today. I won't be back until tonight."

She knew that Lin Xue would not be back until tonight. Yesterday, Lin Xue sent her a message after she got off the field, and also sent her the flight number.

Sang Tian: "Okay, I will leave the hospital right away, you tell Ding Yuning that I will meet her at the venue."

Dai Qing's press conference was held suddenly, but with Dai Qing's status, a bunch of reporters came from nowhere.

Sang Tian found Ding Yuning in the crowd, and Ding Yuning was also confused: "Guess what the princess is going to say? She won't suddenly announce that she is going to retire?"

Sang Tian shook his head: "I don't know."

She didn't understand why Dai Qing voluntarily gave up the game.

The press conference started soon, and Dai Qing walked out under the leadership of Dai Lili and sat down at the speaking table.

She was still dressed in white as usual, showing a swan-like neck, and the shape of the chain bones was elegant. Before she said anything, she attracted the reporters to take pictures, and the flashes kept blinking.

Ding Yuning also took a lot of pictures with the camera: "One thing to say, the princess's appearance is still really good, but the technology is a little bit broken."

Sang Tian looked at Dai Qing's face, Dai Qing's expression was very calm, and he didn't have the frustration after the game collapsed.

By this time, Sang Tian had understood that today's press conference was not so much for Dai Qing, but rather for Dai Lili. Dai Qing didn't even put a microphone in front of him, as if he was directly deprived of the opportunity to speak.

Dai Lili's words were also very strange. She said: "It's normal for an athlete's state to have ups and downs. Considering that the Four Continents Championship will be held early next year, Dai Qing's current state is relatively low and can be regarded as an athlete. Think of it as a build-up.”

"It's not a good thing that some athletes are at their peak now. When the Four Continents Championships are held, their status may turn into a trough."

Even Ding Yuning could hear it: "Who is this ironic? Lin Xue or Di Ruoxin?"

Di Ruoxin has also finished the two point races in the Americas. Like Lin Xue, she won the runner-up in the two races, and the points are exactly the same.

That is to say, if Dai Qing takes one of the two places to represent China in the Four Continents Championship next year, whether the other will belong to Lin Xue or Di Ruoxin will most likely depend on an extra match between the two.

At this moment, Sang Tian's cell phone rang suddenly, and it was Lao He.

Sang Tian picked it up quietly: "Old He, we are still at the press conference."

Lao He: "I know! But look at the official Weibo of the China Flower Association!"

At this time, there was already a whispering voice around Sang Tian, ​​and it is estimated that many colleagues have received the news.

Sang Tian clicked on the official Weibo of the China Flower Association and took a look—yes, that's why Dai Lili was in a hurry to hold a press conference.

The official announcement of the Huahua Association: Considering that there are only two places for the Four Continents Championship next year, and both Lin Xue and Di Ruoxin have performed well, they decided to play an extra match. The three will compete together. to participate in next year's tournament.

Dai Lili held this press conference, apparently to stabilize public opinion on Dai Qing before the official announcement of the Flower Association, but the Flower Association did not give Dai Lili this face. got this message.

It can be seen that the sports circle is very cruel. There is no such thing as qualifications or appearance. If you want to stand tall, you can only rely on results.

By the time Dai Lili finished speaking, the scene had been overwhelmed by the whispering voices of the reporters, and the questioning session of the media, which was usually a head-to-head, was a bit cold for a while.

Dai Lili's face was very ugly, but Dai Qing's expression was indifferent, he stood up and walked straight to the backstage.

Sang Tian handed over his computer and recording pen to Ding Yuning: "Help me take it back to the company, I'll be back soon if I have something to do."

******

Sang Tian ran backstage alone.

The security guards at the entrance of the rest area were still the same as before, but none of the reporters who were poking around before had disappeared.

Even Sang Tian, ​​instead of Qing, felt a kind of sadness that "tea cools before people leave"—the reporters actually knew that in Dai Qing's state, he wanted to win the competition with Chu Lingxue and Di Ruoxin. Almost impossible.

The security guard dutifully stopped Sang Tian: "Reporters are not allowed in."

Sang Tian: "I..."

She ran so fast that she couldn't think of a suitable reason.

But then a voice sounded: "Let her in."

It was Dai Lili standing there.

Sang Tian ran in, and Dai Lili nodded at her: "If talking to you is helpful for Xiaoqing's condition, then I'll take you in."

Sitting alone in the lounge, Dai Qing was flipping through a manga. When he saw Dai Lili bringing Sang Tian in, he didn't even look at Dai Lili. Instead, he shook the manga at Sang Tian: "Have you read it?" ?Quite good looking."

Sang Tian's eyeballs almost popped out - why is the princess reading a Frozen fan comic?Who gave her this?Sang Tian also saw at a glance on the cover that there was a pair of ice blue furry handcuffs in the theme hotel that she and Lin Xue wanted to book before!

Sang Tian felt guilty for her in front of the acting queen mother: "Hurry up and put it away, I'm not here to talk about comics with you today."

Dai Qing looked calm: "Why, are you a lobbyist invited by my mother?"

Dai Lili: "Xiaoqing, you've been in such a bad state recently, do you want to talk to reporter Sang?"

Sang Tian looked at Dai Lili in surprise, even she and Lin Xue could see that Dai Qing did it on purpose, but Dai Lili couldn't see it?

Perhaps it is really too much hope for Dai Qing, so the authorities are fascinated.

Dai Qing directly shook his head and refused: "It's useless to talk to anyone, I said, I have tried my best."

Dai Lili: "If you don't want to find ways to improve your status, you may not even be able to participate in the Four Continents Championships, let alone the next World Championships. What are you going to do?"

Dai Qing was very calm: "If I really can't participate, it's because my strength is not as good as others, and there is nothing I can do."

Dai Lili slapped Dai Qing's face with a loud "slap", and Dai Qing's fair and delicate face suddenly swelled up.

"No prospect!" Dai Lili yelled, "You used to be the one who could win the World Championships! Now you may not even be able to participate in the Four Continents Championships, so you still think it doesn't matter?! Why are you so worthless! I really don't know Why did I give birth to you!"

Dai Lili was really anxious, so she left Dai Qing and left.

Dai Qing really didn't care, he sat down and continued to flip through the comics.

Sang Tian walked over.

Dai Qing actually raised his head and asked her: "Why, do you want to borrow this comic from me?"

...Although she did want to borrow this manga, is she going to say this now? !

She looked at Dai Qing's swollen face: "Does it hurt?"

Dai Qing smiled: "Do you know? When my mother thought I still had hope on the ice, she couldn't bear to touch my hair. She always said that a figure skater should have the tip of his hair, the tip of his nose and the tips of his fingers. It's beautiful, and you have to show it to the referee in its flawless state."

"At that time, she was really careful with me. Everyone said that my mother really loved me. She was so busy with work, but she gave me all her time and energy. But you said, she really loved me. Do you love me?"

"Once I found out that I couldn't win honor for her, it became like this." She pointed to her face, her swollen cheeks pulled her delicate face and deformed: "What she loves is just a tool on ice people."

Sang Tian: "You voluntarily gave up the two races, not only to fight against your mother, but also because of Di Ruoxin?"

Dai Qing was surprised.

Sang Tian: "Based on the relationship between your mother and those officials in the circle, she should have told you the idea of ​​the Flower Association long before the two races. She told you that if the two races are not good enough, , the Flower Association will probably let you play against Chu Lingxue and Di Ruoxin."

"Originally, she told you to warn you, but I didn't expect you to choose to give up after making a mistake in the first jump."

Dai Qing didn't speak.

Sang Tian: "The answer is obvious, Your Highness, because you want this extra match to proceed, because you think that if Di Ruoxin competes with Lin Xue for a spot, Di Ruoxin has no chance at all."

At this time, the door of the lounge was pushed open, and Di Ruoxin appeared at the door: "Why do you think so?"

"Even I don't think I will lose to Chu Lingxue, why do you think so for me?"

The author has something to say:
