17 years on ice [figure skating]

◎He fully understands this rivalry. ◎

On New Year's Eve, it snowed heavily in Songcheng.

When the men's singles team arrived at the venue, the doorman told everyone he was out for a walk with his dog today, but the little Pomeranian just stepped on the ground and "chucked" and the whole dog was submerged in the snow.

The little Pomeranian that was submerged in the snow was wearing a small flower woolen hat bought by the uncle, wearing a scarf, with a depressed dog face, lying on the electric heater in the guard room.

Lu Xi went over and rubbed the dog's head, and said to the uncle, "Happy Chinese New Year, grandpa!"

The uncle burst into laughter and insisted on sending a red envelope to Lu Xi. Lu Xi said that I was an adult and refused to accept it anyway, but in the end Chen Qi asked him to accept it.

It is said that the Winter Olympics is coming soon, so it is a good start.

In the stadium during the day, the training was still the same. Someone posted a lot of lucky characters on the wall of the stadium, and they happily joined together on the ice rink.

In the more than one month of closed practice, Lucy has basically picked up all the movements outside the hook circle, but the hook circle has not yet been conquered.

After practicing for a day, Chen Qi opened the door and came in in the evening, followed by several people who were tightly wrapped in thick down jackets, scarves, and goggles, like rice dumplings.

At first, Lu Xi thought it was the leader of the national team, but then he realized that the pattern of the scarf looked familiar, and then suddenly recognized that it was Huang Bin and Gu Qianqian.

Followed by Deng Chang's old coach in Songcheng, followed by the parents of the assistant coach Cui Xiao who accompanied the closed training, in short, they were the relatives of these staff who participated in the closed training.

And reporter Xiao Zhou.

Reporter Xiao Zhou was carrying a pile of things in his left hand and right hand, and Lu Xi ran over to him, and he could already smell the scent of sesame oil coming out of the plastic bag.

When Lu Xi and the others were training, these relatives and friends gathered together to make dumplings.

While making dumplings, they were still chatting about family affairs. After Lu Xi finished a jump, he heard almost crazy laughter from them. When he looked over, he found that the group of people were all looking at him, and seeing him laugh even more happily.

Lucy:"……"

Lu Xi looked at Deng Chang in horror.

This is definitely talking bad about him!

Deng Chang couldn't help laughing, but before he had time to tease Lu Xi, the group of people laughed even crazier.This time they started to look at Deng Chang, and they smiled meaningfully while looking at Deng Chang.

Deng Chang:? ?

After training in the evening, the dumplings were out of the pan. In the rest area outside the ice rink, a table was set up around the rest bench, and it was very simple to eat.

Dumplings are the most traditional pork and cabbage stuffing, leek and egg stuffing. Because they are made by everyone, the shapes of the dumplings are different. Gu Qianqian is good at making chubby little ingots, and Cui Xiao’s mother makes wheat ears. Although it seems to be almost the same after cooking, the slight difference makes people feel the joy of several families getting together and reuniting.

Everyone scrambled to get dumplings for Lu Xi and Deng Chang, but they couldn't eat too much, because since the closed training, the daily drink is exactly [-] gram.

The little brother of the team doctor ate a dumpling with a smile and gave thumbs up to those who made the dumpling. Then he took out the note pad in his white coat pocket, glanced at it, and said to Lucy, "The number of dumplings you can eat today is 7 1/3."

Lucy:……

The others drank, and Lu Xi and Deng Chang drank sports drinks. Fortunately, it was Lu Xi's favorite peach flavor, which could barely add a little New Year's flavor.

The gala was playing on TV, and there was also a Winter Olympics-themed program at the party. Lu Xi saw Deng Chang and herself in the silhouette of the background of the program, not to mention a little embarrassing, but fortunately, the two of them just passed by in a flash.

For Lu Xi and Deng Chang, who are training heavily every day, this meal is a rest, while the others are very chatty, drinking and chatting.

-

"This is the second Winter Olympics for Xiaochang." Chen Qi said, "I won fourth place in the first time, making history, and I will continue to work hard this year."

"I think it's okay for you two to tie for first place!" Cui Xiao's mother smiled with deep dimples on both sides of her cheeks, and gave a thumbs up to the two contestants.

After drinking more, Huang Bin pulled Zhou Yuanxi and insisted on taking a group photo for everyone. Lu Xi stopped Huang Bin with black lines and said, Dad, other people's cameras are for work.

Reporter Xiao Zhou smiled cutely, said it was okay, and even posed for many groups of different styles.

When it was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, there was overwhelming sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside, and there were no windows in the venue, so everyone went out to watch.

This year, the fireworks in Songcheng were particularly good. It seems to be specially designed to welcome them. Some people even set off fireworks in the shape of the five Olympic rings. There are also various colors splashing in the sky, painting the sky into a splash ink painting. .Lu Xi looked up, trying to figure out how many orange fireworks there were, but was suddenly pulled by Deng Chang.

"I seem to have left my gloves on the ice rink, come and get them with me," Deng Chang said.

Lu Xi was puzzled for a moment, taking a glove and needing two people?But he was also used to acting with Deng Chang, so he greeted and followed.

When we got to a place where no one else could see, Deng Chang asked, "What were you doing just now?"

"Counting fireworks." Lu Xi was taken aback, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Deng Chang smiled, and Lucy saw an orange firework reflected in his eyes, "I want to wish you a happy new year."

Lu Xi was taken aback for another moment, and then suddenly understood.Empty venues, white snow, and fireworks all over the sky, it's a good time only once a year.

He glanced back quickly to make sure no one was watching, then walked over and hugged Deng Chang, and the two of them kissed under the fireworks.

In the gap between kisses and the sound of fireworks flying into the sky, I don't know who is talking.

"We'll be together next year too."

"I want to be with you every year."

-

After the new year, the Winter Olympics will start soon.In a few days, I will go back to the capital and live in the athletes' village to prepare for the competition.

By this time, Lu Xi's hook still couldn't jump out.

There are also top players who cannot win all five quadruple jumps, but not many.Although there are only three or four people in the world who can do five quadruple jumps, there are only three Olympic medals.

Lucy can still hit the medals like this now, but the probability of winning the gold medal is basically zero.

In fact, other people did not have high requirements for Lucy, because the Winter Olympics medals are different from other A-level events.

It seems to be a kind of metaphysics. There are too many sudden factors in the competition every four years, and the psychological burden of the players is also heavier. Many outstanding players will fail in the Winter Olympics, so the goal is only set at "making history and winning A medal".

But of course Lucy himself was not so convinced.

They will leave Songcheng and return to the capital on January 1th, and Luxi is still training for the last time on the evening of the 18th.

During the training at 21:30, Deng Chang asked Lu Xi to come with him when he got off the ice.

Lu Xi hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Deng, go first."

Deng Chang was taken aback, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing else, I just want to try dancing 4Lz again." Lucy said, "I want to see if I have hope now."

The light falling from the roof of the ice rink reflected in Lucy's eyes, making his pupils look a little lighter than usual.It smelled like a young general who went to the battlefield.

Deng Chang was silent for a while, he could understand Lu Xi's obsession.

"Then I'll wait for you here." Deng Chang said.

"Don't." Lucy said, "Can you go out? I just want to know the result alone. Whether you succeed or not, you are also a contestant, and I don't want you to worry about it."

Deng Chang thought for a while. Although he really cared about it, he also understood that in competitive sports, he often competes with himself.

He fully understands the rivalry.

Deng Chang said, "Okay."

-

So Deng Chang left the ice rink, and not long after, Lu Xi also came down.

Except for Lucy himself, no one knows whether the 4Lz danced or failed that night.

The next day, the figure skating delegation of the national team arrived at the Beijing Olympic Sports Center and stayed in the Athletes Village, preparing for the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics three days later.
