17 years on ice [figure skating]

◎Consider whether to wake up this person. ◎

Seeing Andre take some food and turn around 180 degrees, Lu Xi and Deng Chang looked at each other, and they both wanted to laugh.

This little golden retriever... seems to be a silly and cute golden retriever.

"Hey!" The little golden retriever ran over quickly, and the blond hair on both sides of his head flapped like little wings as he ran. After standing still in front of Lucy, he looked at Lucy ferociously, like reciting a manuscript. declaring loudly, "I will—"

After a pause, the little golden retriever changed his words in embarrassment: "You have to go all out, otherwise you will regret it!"

It always feels like I prepared more domineering words in advance, but when the words came to my mouth, I suddenly couldn't utter them.

Lu Xi is not the kind of contestant who will cooperate with the second soul of the little golden retriever, so he nodded: "ok."

Little Golden Retriever: "..."

The little golden retriever waited for a long time, but before Lu Xi could say another word, his self-esteem was hurt, and he left the sentence "I will definitely defeat you!" and turned around angrily and ran away.

Seeing the little golden retriever's back drifting away, Lu Xi stretched out his paws to scoop up vegetables from Deng Chang's plate. Just as the fork caught a piece of angel noodles, he suddenly heard Deng Chang say, "It's so cold."

Lu Xi suddenly raised his head, he was a little shorter than Deng Chang, and he reached into Deng Chang's dinner plate to get food, and raised his eyes just to meet Deng Chang's downcast gaze.Lucy blinked not at all coldly: "Are you talking about me?"

Deng Chang said, "Yes."

"No!" Lucy retorted, "Even I don't know what to say, and he couldn't slide me, so he ran over to provoke me, silly——"

In the middle of speaking, some familiar scenes suddenly popped up in his mind.

For example, at the age of nine, he sat on the ice rink locker, looked at Deng Chang on the ice and said "weaker than me".

For example, a year later, he poked his neck and asked Deng Chang if you were unhappy with me.

Lucy:"……"

He suddenly withered, like a grass short of water, quietly holding the fork and sitting back on his seat: "Am I also so stupid?"

Deng Chang didn't reply right away, but obviously he and Lu Xi had the same picture in mind, and when Lu Xi ate the angel noodles, Deng Chang said, "No, you are so cute."

Lu Xi glanced at Deng Chang, who was already concentrating on eating, as if what he said just now was not what he said at all.

-

Lu Xi and Deng Chang arrived in Quebec three days ahead of schedule, and the time was already very tight, because the first day was used to overcome jet lag, and the remaining two days were to familiarize themselves with the venues, and then they went directly to the game.

The accommodation is a suite, and everyone lives in a big room with three bedrooms. Because Lu Xi is a contestant, he sleeps in one bedroom alone, and the remaining two bedrooms have to accommodate Deng Chang, Chen Qi, the accompanying team doctor, and the accompanying translator. So Deng Chang shared a room with head coach Chen Qi, and the team doctor and translator.

Lu Xi slept on the plane for too long, and he was still refreshed after eating, so Chen Qi had to force him to beat the jet lag, and asked him to go downstairs and run around the garden ten laps, and Deng Chang went with him.After running, come back to take a shower and sleep.

Lu Xi was already tired after running ten laps, but when he closed the bedroom door after taking a shower and lay down on the bed, he was refreshed again. He turned over and over several times without falling asleep.

What's even more exasperating is that he is the only contestant, that is to say, he is the only one who has to suffer from jet lag.

Maybe it was because of drinking too much that day and inadvertently broke some barriers, or maybe because the two of them were always doing activities alone recently, and they naturally became close. In short, Lu Xi took out his phone without much hesitation.

- can't sleep.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

-Deng Chang: Close your eyes.

-Lucy:.

- Deng Chang: Good night.

It's really ruthless.

Then whatever Lu Xi sent to Deng Chang, Deng Chang ignored him.Lu Xi was very angry, but he didn't know what to do. He angrily changed Deng Chang's note to "Deng Xiaogou". After playing two games of greedy snake, he turned off his mobile phone and closed his eyes, and fell asleep without knowing it.

Early the next morning, Lucy got up yawning, walked across the living room to wash in thin slippers, and suddenly turned her head when she passed the sofa.

A puppy who was supposed to sleep in the same room as the head coach was lying on the couch, one arm wrapped around a throw pillow, a thin khaki blanket wrapped around his waist, fast asleep.

Lucy hesitated for a while, trying to get his ideas all over his head, but in the end he went to wash up lightly, then slipped back to the living room and sat down on the floor next to the sofa.

Deng Chang frowned slightly when he was sleeping, as if he was not sleeping very comfortably. The main color of the room was light, and Deng Chang was wearing a white T-shirt. The same is true for Deng Chang's slightly frowned brows.

Lu Xi sat next to Deng Chang and looked at him, thinking about whether to wake this man up.

When the little angel and the little devil in his heart were fighting fiercely, Deng Chang suddenly opened his eyes without warning.

Lu Xi was caught off guard, and stared blankly at Deng Chang at close range.It stands to reason that when you open your eyes and see someone in your sight, you should be startled. Lu Xi was ready to see Deng Chang jumping up in fright, but Deng Chang stared at Lu Xi for three seconds with his dark eyes open. He stretched out his hand expressionlessly, and patted Lucy on the shoulder.

Lucy:?

Then the man turned over and went back to sleep.

Lucy:? ?

The people of Luxi are all stupid, can they still do this?But then, Deng Chang turned back again. This time he opened his eyes, looked at Lu Xi, rubbed his eyes again, and said in a low voice, "You are a real person."

He just woke up, his voice was a little hoarse, like a puppy's tail tickling Lucy's heart.

"Sure." Lucy lowered his voice unconsciously, "otherwise what do you think of me?"

Deng Chang shook his head, but did not answer. He closed his eyes for a while, frowned, reached behind his head and rubbed his neck, and then half stood up: "What time is it? Wake up?"

"Hmm." Lu Xi was distracted by Deng Chang's action, "What's wrong with your neck?"

"Stiff neck." Deng Chang frowned, turned his head a few times, and pressed his slender fingers on the back of his neck, "Fortunately, I don't compete."

Lu Xi thought for a while, it's a bit pathetic to train with a stiff neck, but mainly because it's a bit funny.

"You must have a stiff neck when you sleep on the sofa. Why did you run out?" Lucy asked, "Aren't you in the same room as the coach?"

Hearing this, Deng Chang was silent for a while, his brows furrowed deeper, and it took him a long time before he said, "The coach is talking in his sleep."

Lucy was taken aback, is it okay to talk in sleep?During the training camp, they slept in the Datong bunk for a few days, snoring and grinding their teeth in the middle of the night, and they didn't see Deng Chang running out to sleep.

But then Deng Chang said: "He will ask you in his sleep, have you finished warming up? How many sets of squats did you do? When did you stretch the elastic band? How many quads did you do?"

Lucy:"……"

He genuinely began to sympathize with Deng Chang.

It's like a student being tortured by a teacher about his knowledge points in a dream talk, or a social animal being asked about performance completion in a dream talk by his boss, and asked the most painful questions at the most relaxing moment. No wonder Deng Chang slipped out to sleep.

"Then why don't you sleep for a while?" Lu Xi saw that Deng Chang's eye circles were a little blue, and he must have been tortured a lot.

"No need." Deng Chang rubbed his eyes, "Get up, I'll wash up and go eat."

-

Athletes generally live a relatively regular life and have a similar schedule, so when they arrived at the cafeteria, Lu Xi and Deng Chang met many athletes from other teams.

The Galaxy Cup is not a large-scale competition in the B-level competition, and it is the last competition of the year, so there are not many contestants, and most of them are outside the third line.

However, every year there will be players with unsatisfactory points in the B-level competition for various reasons. They want to get a higher ranking by playing in the next few rounds. Therefore, there will be one or two strong players in the Galaxy Cup every year. For example, this year's road Fortunately, there are no other competitors this year. Judging from past results, Lucy won't have a problem securing the top three.

Although the audience's attention to the World Youth Championship is average, there is a lot of attention in the circle to this event that marks a strong opponent in the next few years, especially the annual World Youth Championship champion.

Therefore, most of the contestants knew Lu Xi and came to greet him. During a meal, Lu Xi kept getting up and saying hello, shaking hands, hugging, and taking photos together.

After the meal it was time for training, Lu Xi went to land training, Deng Chang and the coach also followed, and Deng Chang also practiced on the side.The training classroom is no different from that in China, but what impresses Lu Xi deeply is the relaxation tool after training.

"This is called a fascia gun, the latest new technology." The translator introduced, "It is a tool for relieving fatigue and relaxing muscles after training. It has just been put into use in Canada recently. It is deeper and more effective than traditional manual relaxation."

Lucy took the thing in the shape of a small hair dryer, followed the example of other athletes, pressed the massage head on his legs, and tried it with the lowest gear.

The sourness at first made him almost jump up, but then he felt that this thing is easy to use. Massaging and relaxing with his own hands will always have problems such as uneven strength and incomplete positions, but the fascia gun is located one by one. Hit it in place, and force through the back of the paper. After the initial discomfort, you will start to feel the comfort after muscle relaxation, which is very easy to use.

"You try it too." Lu Xi handed the fascia gun to Deng Chang, seeing that the other party's brows twitched when the massage head was just hit, but then he agreed with Lu Xi's statement: "Good thing."

The team doctor also came over to try it out, and the results were amazing. He suggested to Chen Qi that this thing can be purchased for the national team as well.

"I'll talk to Baotouer when the time comes." Chen Qi said, "Make an application."

-

After the land training, it was the ice training. The training time of different teams was separated. It was in the evening in Luxi, and Deng Chang also went on the ice to practice for a while. When he arrived at Luxi Hele, he went off the ice.

The training time is two and a half hours, and as long as Lu Xi wants to, he can be alone with Lu Xi, which is even more enjoyable than the time in the first body.

This time, because the opponent was not very strong, Chen Qi lowered the configuration difficulty for Lu Xi, and performed two quadruple jumps to save the child some energy at the end of the season, so Lu Xi played together, quite alive and kicking.

After listening to Chen Qi explaining the essentials of the movements, he went to find Deng Chang. It was more comfortable to sit with his peers, and it became a habit.

Deng Chang was playing with his mobile phone, and when he glanced at the interface from a distance, Lu Xi recognized that it was a website called "Star Flower Sports".

This is an English website, and it also has an official discussion area. It has a great influence among North American ice fans, and it is a website that has a clear stand and looks down on Lucy.

After the World Youth Championship, there were only photos of them standing, with Lu Xi in the corner and the silver medalist in the middle, and the posts were mostly yin and yang, with Lu Xi's technical shortcomings.

Lu Xi walked over and said "Hey": "Why do you keep watching this kind of boring website?"

To his surprise, Deng Chang clicked on the lock screen with his finger—but he didn't press it in the end, then looked at Lu Xi, and cleared his throat unnaturally: "Because I'm bored."

"Really?" The answer matched the reaction. Lucy didn't quite believe it. He even suspected that Deng Chang was watching the small pornographic website whose interface imitated Xinghua Sports, so he stretched out his hand and said half-jokingly, "Bring me to check."
