17 years on ice [figure skating]

◎What is the goal of the championship game? ◎

Lu Xi stared at the text message for a long time, and a very outrageous thought slowly came to his mind.

He opened Wang Lili's WeChat dialog box.

The whole time, a cloud of "I'm doing something stupid" clouded him, but Lucy sent the message anyway.

-Lu Xi: Sister Lili, can you give me Deng Chang's phone number?

-Wang Lili: 156xxxxxxxx, what's the matter?

The weather assistant starts with 137.

not alone.

Although there is also the possibility that Deng Chang can use other people's mobile phones to send messages, but this possibility can be ignored.

Because of Deng Chang's temper, he always does everything alone. If he really does such a thoughtful thing as sending others the weather forecast every day, it is absolutely impossible for the third person to know.

Mobile phone number?

Lucy warned himself not to think like this, thinking like this is walking on an endless road of self-love, even if it is confirmed that someone else sent it, he will think "did he ask someone else to send it to me".

Belonging to clown behavior.

The thought of "I'm really doing something stupid" surrounded Lu Xi like a cloud of mist again, he didn't understand how he could convulse and assume that the news was Deng Chang, and even the probability that it was Coach Chen Qi's trumpet was higher.

But don't care if the other party is the system or a stranger or whoever it is, whether it's intentional or a coincidence, this matter is very strange.

Because this text message gently soothed his not-so-good emotions, on this not-so-warm spring night.

The opponent obviously didn't want to expose his identity, and with the game imminent, Lu Xi didn't pursue the matter further.

Anyway, it's all thanks to Deng Puppy.

-Wang Lili: hello?

It was only then that Lu Xi remembered to leave the leader lady aside, so she quickly replied.

-Lu Xi: Thank you, Miss Lili!Just now Coach Chen asked me if I could get in touch with Deng Chang, and I realized I didn't have his phone number, so I asked for it.

-Wang Lili: Hmm, okay-Is Xiao Changchang all right?

-Lu Xi: It's okay, he is training in the land classroom.

-Wang Lili: [ok];

-Wang Lili: Xiao Xixi, go to bed early too, good night——

The corners of Lucy's eyes twitched.

- Lucy: good night;

Afterwards, he copied Deng Chang's phone number, but just after calling up the save page, his fingers paused for a few seconds, and he canceled the pasting.

Deng Chang didn't add him.

He didn't save Deng Chang's cell phone.

#Deng Chang, puppy#

Lucy typed this sentence in the memo, set the alarm clock half an hour earlier, and went to sleep contentedly.

-

On April 4rd, there are three days before the start of the national championship game.

Usually, Lu Xi gets up at seven, washes up, has breakfast in the cafeteria, and then goes to culture class.

But today he got up at 06:30 because there was a joint training session at 07:30.

Lu Xi yawned and went downstairs.

In spring, it dawns early, and the morning sun coats the flowers and plants on the path with a soft golden filter, bright and ostentatious.Lu Xi went to the cafeteria to wander around, and found that the door hadn't opened yet, so he went straight to the competition hall with an ice bag on his back.

He kept raising his legs high and jogging in small steps, stepping on the stone-paved road with his white sneakers, his trousers occasionally lifted up as he moved, exposing the young white and thin ankles.

At the entrance of the competition hall, tulips, peach blossoms and magnolias were in full bloom, and the banners of "2017 National Figure Skating Championship & National Figure Skating Youth Championship" were unfolded.

Coach Chen Qi was standing on the steps of the competition hall, and beside him was Deng...

Deng puppy.

Deng Chang was wearing a black and white sports coat. From this angle, his legs were extraordinarily long. When Lu Xi saw him, he happened to be looking at Lu Xi.

The moment the four eyes met, Deng Chang was stunned for a moment, and there was a small look between his brows, as if he wanted to say hello to Lu Xi, but in the end he lowered his eyes and played with his mobile phone.

Although he was coaxed by unknown text messages and He Wenbo, facing Deng Chang himself, remembering that this person pretended to be dead yesterday, regardless of whether it was because of his temper or unfamiliarity, Lu Xi was very upset.

So Deng Chang didn't say hello to Lu Xi, and of course Lu Xi didn't say hello to him, but went to say hello to Chen Qi.

"Morning, didn't you have breakfast?" Chen Qi took out two nut energy bars from his pocket, and handed one to each of them, "Stop your belly, don't faint on the ice rink."

-

Lu Xi and Deng Chang followed behind Chen Qi like guardians. The gatekeeper of the competition hall was a particularly strict uncle, and when he saw someone, he said "it's not open now" with a stern face.

After rubbing his eyes and seeing that it was Chen Qi, he narrowed his eyes and smiled kindly, "It's Xiao Qi, go in quickly."

The door opened slowly, Lu Xi was dumbfounded because of the sentence "Xiao Qi", Coach Chen Qi put on an unnatural face.

It wasn't until I entered the aisle that the uncle couldn't hear me, so I explained: "Uncle is my former fan, from the youth group to my retirement."

Although the tone is light, but always feel very proud.

Of course it is something to be proud of, being recognized sincerely and loved for a long time. Although Lucy's real career has just begun, he can imagine that kind of happiness.

-

The competition hall opens at 07:30, and they come at [-]:[-], which is half an hour early, and each person only has a chance to share the short program and the free skating once.

After skating two laps quickly on the ice and doing a few simple jumps to warm up, the fun began directly. Deng Chang first combined a short program, then got off the ice to rest, and changed to Lu Xihe short program.

After coming down to the short program, each of the two people corrected some movements, and then they went directly to the free skating, and then continued to correct and practice.

Lu Xi slid down freely, was exhausted again, and slumped on the stool, watching Chen Qi leaning on the sidelines to explain the movements to Deng Chang, and then hurried out after answering the phone.

-

No matter how much he likes skating, at this moment Lucy felt lucky to be "finally able to take a breath". He propped his elbows on the leather of the chair, and he was almost lying on the chair. Then he heard the small door of the ice rink "click". "Sound.

Lu Xi raised his eyelids and saw Deng Chang walking down the ice.

He was lying down now, with a very low angle of view, making Deng Chang very tall. It was not until Deng Chang walked up to him and stood down that Lu Xi realized that this man was looking for him.

He didn't quite understand what was going on, but he still pushed his elbows a bit, and propped himself up: "What's wrong?"

Deng Chang looked at him for two seconds, seemed to be dissatisfied because this person was too lazy, and then said, "Would you like to try adding a movement before gliding?"

what?

Lucy was taken aback.

The big one character is a skating arrangement in Lu Xi's program. Before he wanted to learn Deng Chang's short program, he slid the big one character outside the edge to enter the previous cool move, but Deng Chang said "like the father of Otto", and finally give up.

But what Deng Chang is talking about now, Lu Xi doesn't understand.

Deng Chang didn't wait for Lu Xi's answer, and directly performed that action once.

It was very similar to the dance style that Lu Xi wanted to learn from Deng Chang before. It was a cool and imposing choreography, with a length of half an eight beat.

The gestures are much simpler. Although they are very similar to Deng Chang's short program of flying, they are completely different when you look closely. Basically, it can be said that they have been redesigned.

Lucy was stunned.

Is this the arrangement made by Deng Chang himself?

Made it for him?

Not... not familiar with it?

This is the eve of the championship game.

"Do it or not, hurry up." Seeing that Lu Xi didn't reply, Deng Chang asked again with a cold face.

This question made Lucy ignore all the doubts and confusion in his heart, and sat up straight. The exhaustion of jumping a complete set of free skating seemed to be forgotten at that moment.

He raised his head and smiled at Deng Chang, his dark eyes shining brightly under the light.

"Do it, you can demonstrate it again and I will learn from it."

-

When Deng Chang and Lu Xi went to find Chen Qi together and said they wanted to add an arrangement, Chen Qi first looked at the movements and said yes, because only hand movements would not affect the difficulty, then suddenly noticed the important point and asked Lu Xi: " Who lined up for you?"

Lu Xi didn't dare to say that it was Deng Chang, but Chen Qi guessed it. When he looked at Deng Chang, he already had the eyes of a top-level stress monster: "You won't say that you went to the land classroom for this, right?"

"No." Deng Chang categorically denied, "It's just a sudden inspiration during the exercise."

Chen Qina clearly wrote "I believe in you ghost", Lu Xi suddenly became timid, feeling like a little fox who brought disaster to the country and the people.

"Go up and join the short program again." Chen Qi finally said to Deng Chang with a sullen face.

Deng Chang did a good job in the short program for the first time, but this time he made a mistake and fell all around. In fact, although a fall in the short program was a mistake, it was not a particularly big mistake, but Chen Qi directly put Deng Chang cursed bloody head.

Obviously, it was an excuse to express his anger at Deng Chang's distraction on the eve of the game.

Fortunately, it was only the national championship game, and Deng Chang had been in good form recently, otherwise Lu Xi felt that Chen Qi could hang them both up and fight.

Deng Chang performed two more solo jumps and landed well on the ice. Chen Qi reluctantly nodded with a sullen face, and the morning music was over.

-

Deng Chang pushed open the small gate of the fence of the ice rink, he expected to be scolded, it was not a big problem, he was in good condition, and Chen Qi asked him just now if he knew what the goal of the national competition was, he said of course it was to win.

The goal of any athlete must be victory. This is beyond doubt. It is one thing for Deng Chang to help Lucy make up moves, but another for the competition.Hearing what he said, Chen Qi was relieved.

When going off the ice, Deng Chang leaned on the fence with one hand and bent over to put on the knife cover. The knife cover is a hard plastic shell wrapped around the ice skates, which can protect the blades of the ice skates from being worn out when they step on the ground. Will not scratch people.

Suddenly, a bottle of sports drink appeared in sight.

The familiar peach-flavored drink, the familiar white and slender hands, Deng Chang was stunned and looked over.

Lucy was looking at him.

The dark eyes are like kittens, and when blinking, a small mole under the eyes seems to shake with the light and shadow of the light, so vivid and attractive.

Deng Chang lowered his eyes and didn't look at Lu Xi again, took the bottle of drink: "Thank you."

Lucy said, "Come on."

The two went to the locker room to change, one after the other, and walked out of the aisle side by side.

-

Obviously, Deng Chang, the dog, still didn't come to add Luxi's WeChat account, and obviously there was no explanation for his tantrum, Luxi's tantrum, and all the awkwardness.

But none of these matters to Lucy suddenly.

On the morning of three days before the national championship game, the mid-spring wind gently turned the old page of the story.

They made up again.

-

On April 4th, there are two days before the main match on the 4th.

Hele practice is now being filmed by the media throughout the whole process. According to Chen Qi's request, Lu Xi will only do the back and forth for three weeks. Recently, there have been quite a lot of discussions about him on the ice fan forum. The forum is about to be noisy Turned upside down.

Lu Xi and Chen Qi have the same philosophy in this regard, astonishing people must be as surprising as possible, so they want to take out the secret weapon in the back and outer four weeks as late as possible.

There are interviews tonight.

For the men's singles, only two people were interviewed, Lu Xi and Deng Chang.

-

The National Championship didn't get much attention. If it wasn't for the fact that Lu Xi's recent popularity brought Deng Chang's popularity, there might not even be this interview.

Chen Qi actually didn't want this interview, it was obviously aimed at the topic, and it would not be good for young players to accept this kind of interview before the game, but he didn't have much say in this kind of thing.

Lu Xi and Deng Chang sat in the interview booth, while Chen Qi supervised.

The two-person interview will not embarrass one person alone, this is Chen Qi's last insistence.

When the interview started, as expected by Chen Qi, Lu Xi, who has become a hot topic recently, became the target of the reporters.

But Lucy is not afraid.

"Xiaoxi, how are you preparing for the national championship?" Someone asked.

"It's okay." Lucy said.

"Are you sure you can slip past Deng Chang?"

"What's the goal this time?"

"Is there any secret weapon?"

"You can only do two quadruple jumps, do you think you have enough movement reserves?"

Throwing several questions together, it always feels like it was arranged in advance.

The names of other athletes were mentioned in the question, not to mention that the athlete was sitting next to him. No matter how Lu Xi answered, it seemed that he couldn't escape the meaning of dragging.

Deng Chang's shoulder moved slightly, trying to take the microphone, Chen Qi frowned, as if about to stand up and interrupt the interview, but Lu Xi took the microphone before the two of them.

"Since it's a secret weapon, I can't tell you, right?"

"Athletes participate in competitions just to win. If you ask me about a specific person, it makes people doubt your intentions."

This kind of frantic and choked tone is obviously very popular with reporters, and there is a sound of shutters clicking underneath.

Lucy didn't care about that.

It's not that he can't detect the good things in the question, but if Lu Xi really cared, it would be impossible for him to say "I want to be the world's number one men's singles" after the World Youth Championship.

"As for my goal for the game the day after tomorrow—"

All the cameras turned around, waiting for the hot long/gun short/cannon to be aimed at him.

Lucy knew that such an answer would confirm his madness again, especially if he said this answer next to Deng Chang, it would even make people suspect it was a provocation, but he did not hesitate.

Because this question was in front of Deng Chang, Deng Chang would definitely give the same answer.

The sound echoed through the microphone in the small interview room, and there was a lot of shutters on the scene.

Lucy's well-behaved and beautiful appearance has a dazzling and frivolous spirit because of the slight smile on his face:

"Of course the champion."

Enter v on Monday. After v, try to be on the sixth day.
