17 years on ice [figure skating]

◎I can't stand it. ◎

A few minutes later, Chen Qi came back from the bathroom and explained to Lu Xi: "Your father heard that you are going to compete abroad. He is afraid that you will be bored by yourself, and he can't get away. The recruiting work of the city team is very urgent. Xiao Deng I just happened to be free, so I came with you."

Lu Xi nodded, wondering if Huang Bin asked Deng Chang to come, or Deng Chang took the initiative to come.

I think it was Huang Bin who found Deng Chang. In the previous weekly video call, he had shown off to his father, "I have a good relationship with Deng Chang now."

More importantly, Deng Chang doesn't look like he would take the initiative to ask for the character of his colleagues.

Deng Chang, who was on the side, did not participate in the discussion at all, and had no interest in this conversation, which confirmed the personality setting of "never ask for colleagues at all".

-

The flight lasted about [-] to [-] hours, not counting the waiting time for the connecting flight. They had to fly directly to Vancouver, and then transfer from Vancouver to Quebec for the competition.

The long journey is the best time to sleep. The dome lights are turned off after the plane takes off, and the whole cabin creates a warm night atmosphere. Lucy sits in the middle of the three-seater, and it is inconvenient to do anything. close your eyes.

One of Lucy's specialties is his ability to sleep. It stands to reason that a 16-year-old boy should be more energetic, but he may spend all his energy on the ice, and when he gets off the ice, he is in a state of being able to lie down on the spot at any time.

After an unknown amount of time, he woke up in a daze, and looked to the left first. It was pitch black outside the small window, and it was obviously night.

Then he looked to the right, Deng Chang was sitting on his right, at a glance, Lu Xi was startled.

The small lamp above Deng Chang's head was on, and the light was shining down softly. He was actually reading a book.

-

Probably because the light on the small table would block the view, Deng Chang was leaning on the back of the chair, holding the book at a slant, his wrist pressed against the spine of the book, his wrist bones were thin, and his fingers were slender.

Hearing the noise, Deng Chang turned his face to the side, and it was only then that Lu Xi realized that he was actually wearing a pair of glasses.

The half-framed gold-rimmed glasses rested on his straight nose, adding a bookish look to his cold and sharp facial features, but the bookish look was just as aloof and indifferent as a human being.

The overhead light coated the boy's skin with a soft warm yellow, which faded away his vigor, and gave him a gentle texture like an old photo.

Lucy rubbed his eyes.

Dazed, he felt like he was dreaming.

"Are you awake?" Deng Chang asked.

Only then did Lu Xi have a sense of reality, but in the closed aircraft at an altitude of [-] meters, the window was pitch black, and his mind must have been confused when he first woke up.

He nodded and asked, "What time is it? How long have I been asleep?"

Deng Chang asked, "Which time zone are you referring to?"

Lucy opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"Just pretend I didn't ask." Lucy said.

Deng Chang curled his mouth and lowered his eyes to look at his watch, "It's past ten o'clock in the evening Beijing time, and you slept for four hours."

After speaking, he didn't hear Lucy's answer.Deng Chang only thought that Lu Xi was angry. After all, it wasn't just a day or two that he had a bad temper. When he raised his eyes, he found that Lu Xi was staring at him blankly with a pair of dark eyes wide open.

Deng Chang looked down at the exercises in his hand, and then asked: "What's wrong?"

"Did you just smile?" Lucy asked, his voice was sleepy and soft because he didn't wake up, "Or am I really sleepy."

Deng Chang was stunned for a long time before he said, "Is it weird for me to smile?"

"Yeah." Lucy nodded.

"I was obviously laughing all the time during the game," Deng Chang said.Whether it is the expression requirements during the competition or the salute after the competition, figure skaters must keep smiling.

"That's a fake smile," Lucy said.

Deng Chang: "..."

Regardless of whether it's a drunk Lucy or a sleepy Lucy, as long as it's a half-sane Lucy, he can't stand it.

This conclusion made Deng Chang decisively decide not to entangle with Lu Xi about the minutiae, and to return his attention to the book.

Lu Xi just said it casually, Deng Chang stopped talking, and he didn't pursue it, and his attention fell on the book.

Deng Chang was holding a chemistry exercise book, a very large one. When he read the book with his eyes downcast, from the brown hair tips illuminated by the light, to his forehead and eyelashes, to the tip of his nose to his jaw, to the protruding hair on his slender neck, Adam's apple, the entire silhouette has clear and delicate lines, and there is an inexplicable sense of elegance and coldness.

Although the figure skater has good dancing skills and good manners, it is difficult to see his gentle and bookish demeanor in other athletes.

Lu Xi remembered Deng Chang's hidden identity again, and clicked his tongue in his heart.

Xueba oh.

-

"Studying while flying." Lucy said, "Do you really have to work so hard?"

"I will be in my third year of high school in September." Deng Chang said, "Do you want to work hard?"

Lucy is one level lower than Deng Chang, and to be honest, professional athletes don't have much idea about exams. Athletes, especially figure skating, gymnastics, and diving, which eat youth food, don't study step by step. The sports career is over, ready to retire, and then return to campus to study for a degree.

But he still echoed: "You should work hard."

Deng Chang glanced at him again, it was obvious that he felt Lu Xi's perfunctory, and looking at people through layers of lenses, he always felt that his eyes were lighter than usual.

Lu Xi clicked his tongue again in his heart, and looked at the sleeping coach Chen Qi on the left.

He is also miserable, the coach and the same door, two pressure monsters.

-

Soon, the flight attendant began to push the trolley to ask if anyone needed a drink, and the plane also began to distribute snacks. When she walked to the row of Lucy Deng Chang, she smiled and asked the two beautiful boys what they wanted to drink.

To her surprise, the man with glasses shook his head coldly: "No, thank you."

The cuter and better-behaved one beside him also shook his head.

The flight attendant was stunned, and was about to explain that the drinks on the plane are free, when the handsome uncle sitting inside the cute boy finally opened his eyes from the doze state, and explained to the flight attendant: "They are athletes, so they can only drink the water they bring."

In order to cope with the ubiquitous urine tests, the eating and drinking of athletes can be said to be extremely boring. They cannot go out to eat without authorization, nor can they drink water given by others.

Like this time, water is not allowed to be brought on the plane, but there is a brand service point in the airport security check that provides water for athletes. Chen Qi has two large bottles of water in his bag, enough for two people to drink.

The food is the same, regardless of whether it is the small meal bag sandwiches being distributed now, or the noodles and rice at meal time, they can't eat anything, they can only eat the instant chicken breast and nut energy bars prepared by Chen Qi.

The two teenagers nodded in agreement, the flight attendant immediately expressed his understanding, and was about to leave when he was stopped by the handsome uncle.

"Since the two of them don't drink, then give me a glass of pear juice, a glass of hot water, and some wine, thank you."

Before the flight attendant went to get the wine, he stopped the other party again, and added: "Just give me the snacks for the three of you later, and the two of them can't eat it."

The flight attendant nodded with a good attitude: "Okay."

Lucy & Deng Chang: "..."

Do all coaches like to take delicious gluttonous athletes so much?

-

Lucy just woke up and fell asleep all the way until the plane landed in Vancouver amidst the sound of the radio.He looked to the right when he woke up a few times. Deng Chang was asleep twice, and he was reading at other times, and the subjects were different each time.

Lu Xi wanted to ask him if he didn't want to go to the recommended sports university, and wanted to take the exam by himself, but he was too sleepy, so he didn't want to open his mouth, so he didn't ask.

When the connecting flight landed in Quebec, it was already the evening of the second day in Canada time. It took a whole day in the sky to take the connecting flight. Lucy sat so stiff that his legs and feet were stiff. After pressing his legs for a long time, the blond foreigner next to him thought he was performing traditional Kung Fu.

Figure skating in Canada has a better mass base than in China. Lucy was later recognized as the "World Youth Champion who danced "Kill Bill"" and was immediately dragged to take a group photo.

The event that Lucy will participate in this time is called the "Galaxy Cup", which belongs to the B-level event.

There are dozens of B-level competitions around the world every year, but the athlete's points will only be counted as the one with the highest points in the B-level competition in the past three years, so it is useless to play too many games, but Lucy is just good enough to play one time.

The scale of B-level events is much smaller than that of A-level events. The disadvantage is that the attention is low, and the advantage is that the cost of hosting is also low. Sponsorship saves money. In addition, Chen Qi secretly gave Lucy Science that if a rich consortium happens to sponsor B-level events, Regardless of accommodation or dining, there will be surprises.

Chen Qi is coming to the Galaxy Cup for the first time, and they usually choose the B-level competition that is closer to avoid travel, so he doesn't know what the scale of this competition is.

It's just that the Galaxy Cup is the last game at the end of the season, and it's the only game Lucy can catch up with, so he brought Lucy here.

"I hope this time the host—"

In the middle of Chen Qi's speech, his eyes suddenly straightened. Looking at the black limousine with the "Galaxy Cup" ribbon hanging in front of him, he let out a long breath, "It's very generous."

-

Chen Qi, Lu Xi, Deng Chang, the accompanying team doctor, and the accompanying interpreter got into the car. Not only Lu Xi and Deng Chang, who had no experience in competitions, but even Chen Qi and the staff who had gone abroad many times were shocked.

It was the first time I met someone who picked up athletes in a limousine, not to mention that the driver handed everyone sandwiches and mineral water prepared according to the athletes' dietary standards as soon as they got in the car-all of which were labeled "qualified".

Since getting on the plane, Lu Xi and Deng Chang have eaten quick-frozen chicken breast and energy bars in addition to drinking their big bottle of water. When they suddenly ate delicious hot food, they were so moved that they almost cried.

On the way, the driver introduced to the group that this Galaxy Cup is sponsored by local wealthy businessmen, mainly to advertise their family business’s entry into the sports circle, so no investment is considered.They have prepared rest suites for the athletes in their own estates, new formulas for the ice rink castings for the competition are softer and more suitable for playing, new equipment in the locker room and training room, and a 24-hour buffet...

After hearing the compliments all the way, when they arrived at the residence, just as they put their things away in the suite, the two younger ones, Lu Xi and Deng Chang, rushed downstairs with their player ID and staff ID.

"Are you going to see the ice rink?" Chen Qi asked.

This is in line with the personality of the two little ones in his group. Deng Chang is the type who has to be fully prepared for everything, and Lu Xi is the type who cannot walk when there is an ice rink. Going to the ice rink to see it is really moving.

"Mr. Chen, they are definitely not on the ice." The accompanying interpreter couldn't help telling Chen Qi.

"Huh?" Chen Qi was taken aback, "What is that for?"

The translator scratched his head, hesitant to speak, and Lucy's voice came from far away: "I'm starving to death! Go cook!"

Chen Qi: "..."
