17 years on ice [figure skating]

◎It’s not that I’m not wearing clothes, I don’t know why I’m ashamed. ◎

Almost as soon as Lu Xi finished speaking, Deng Chang pushed open the door and rushed in nervously.

When he saw the scene in front of him, he was obviously taken aback.

Lucy was sitting on the chair, her hair was just wet after washing, hanging down against her face, looking a little pitiful, her eyes looked like they had just been washed, and they were more fresh than usual.A clean white top and dark gray sports trousers.

Apart from the fact that both hands are covering the waist of his right trousers, and he looks a bit embarrassed, he doesn't need to be "saved" at all, does he?

"Save you?" Deng Chang was taken aback.

Lucy:"……"

Indeed, he knew he looked all right.

But it is really in need of help.

Lu Xi's heart beat, and he let go of his hand a little.

Half of the trouser waist fell off, and the boy's white and thin belly and the edge of the black underwear flashed by. Lu Xi hurriedly pulled up the trouser waist again, looking annoyed and embarrassed at Deng Chang at the door, "Come and help me take it off." Take a moment...or put on your pants."

-

Deng Chang looked dumbfounded, and stood there in a daze for ten seconds, until Lu Xi couldn't wait to ask again if it was okay, then he nodded as if waking up from a dream, and walked up quickly.

Lucy sat on the chair, clutching his waist uncomfortably.

Deng Chang waited for a while, and finally took a look at him: "How can I tie it if you don't let go."

Lucy: "Oh."

Lu Xi slowly let go of his hand. It is said that although he is fastidious, he is not so fastidious. Every time before training in the locker room, if he wants to change Kosten, the two of them will take off directly with their backs facing each other. I will wear a sports vest underneath, but it is too common to show a waist and a back.

I don't know why, but now I am very embarrassed to let go in front of Deng Chang.

It may be that the residual temperature of the hot water in the bathroom is too high, which makes him nervous.

It may also simply be that I don't want to drop my pants again, but it's not that I don't wear them inside, so I don't know why I am ashamed.

"Is it just this button?" Deng Chang looked at it and asked, his cold voice was surrounded by the mist in the bathroom, like a faint cloud brushing over the skin, cool and a little itchy.

"Yeah." Lucy pursed her lips.

Deng Chang then squatted down next to Lu Xi, in a posture similar to kneeling on the ground. Looking down from this angle, his tall nose bridge and long and thick eyelashes are particularly present, and his downcast eyes are faint and subtle. The elegance and focus of a figure skater.

Strange to say, Deng Chang's hand obviously didn't touch Lu Xi, but his fingers pressed against the fabric, fastening the button very lightly, but the feeling of the fabric rubbing against the skin was subtle, hot, and even a little numb.

He was talking about fastening only one button, but Deng Chang thoughtfully unbuttoned and re-fastened all the buttons on the entire trouser leg for Lucy.

In fact, this action is really nothing, not even touching the skin. Before the game, the coach and assistant coaches helped adjust Costen and the skates more than this contact.

The buckles were fastened one by one with the light movements of Deng Chang's fingers, Lu Xi's legs would be faintly visible with the shaking of the fabric, and the side of Deng Chang's fingers would occasionally rub against his skin inadvertently, but it was just like a superficial touch.

Other than that, there's hardly any element of intimacy about buttoning up.

But Lucy just felt that he was so intimate for no reason, more intimate than he was with anyone before.

He felt that his heartbeat was uneven, but fortunately, the water heater had just turned off the water, and the continuous beeping when it was running was enough to cover up the slightly disordered breathing.

When he was staring at Deng Chang, Deng Chang suddenly raised his head to look at him, and when his eyes met, Lu Xi got stuck.

Just thinking about how to explain the fact that he was staring at people, Deng Chang didn't say anything, he quickly lowered his head and fastened the button, and got up and went out without saying a word after fastening it.

Lucy sat on the stool blankly: "Run so fast?"

"I haven't finished my homework." Deng Chang said without turning his head.

"It deserves it." Lucy commented sharply, "Let you catch me doing the questions."

Deng Chang paused, and it took him a long time to say: "Okay."

-

Soon it was time to remove the plaster cast.

The doctor ran to the rehabilitation dormitory to help Lu Xi remove the plaster cast. The whole process went smoothly. After that, Lu Xi supported Chen Qi with his left hand and the doctor with his right hand. The taste of landing.

Although he had done a lot of rehabilitation beforehand, when his feet touched the ground, Lucy's first reaction was:

who am I?

Where am i?

How to go?

It took him more than ten minutes to find the feeling of walking, but he still can't do the "difficult movements" such as running and jumping. When encountering small steps, he has to go up the same step with both feet, like an old man with handicapped legs.

This inevitably made people worry about Lu Xi's state after going on the ice.

Lucy himself didn't say anything, with a very calm look on his face.

Three days later, under the evaluation of the doctor, Lucy got the chance to go on the ice.

The ice skate on the right foot was worn carefully. Fortunately, the upper of the ice skate for figure skating is very high. Compared with other ice sports, the burden on the athlete's ankle is not so heavy. Hold your breath.

On the ice, with the left foot as the center of gravity, Lu Xi slid out like a swallow, and then switched to the right foot to push the ice. It seemed to be smooth, with a little less force than before. Applause enthusiastically.

Lucy smiled and made a small salute.

Only Chen Qi and Deng Chang didn't have any smiles on their faces.

Deng Chang pursed his lips slightly. The ice step that Lu Xi kicked just now seemed to be fine, but comparing his left and right feet, and comparing his state when he was healthy, he could feel the difference in acceleration.

Besides acceleration, the bigger problem is with the blade.

It may be because he just recovered from his injury and didn't dare to use force. Lu Xi stepped on the blade with his right foot very shallowly, but his usual habit of using the blade is to step on the blade very deeply.

These are not too big of a problem for ordinary skating, but for a player like Lu Xi who is good at skating, if he needs to re-practice skating, or even have to change the method of exerting force, so that he may lose his original advantage in skating , is a very, very scary thing.

This also means that Lucy may have to re-practice many movements.

Of course, he will practice much faster than the zero-based practice, because he knows how to do each movement, but he has to find a way to do it again, but for Lucy who has already mastered those movements, this is equivalent to It's because the game is out of gear, so I played it from the beginning, which is very, very challenging.

So when Lu Xi finished skating around the field and got off the ice, Deng Chang immediately went to ask him: "How do you feel?"

Lu Xi was silent for a while and said, "It's not bad, we need to practice more."

Deng Chang didn't dare to express his worries, he was afraid that his emotions would affect Lu Xi, but Lu Xi looked okay, his eyes were black and bright, and his face didn't have much expression.

Even so, Deng Chang still did not dare to relax. The specific performance is that he would not come to the ice rink often during the offseason. He did not miss any day of training. Every day after school, he rushed to the dormitory area to accompany Lucy to train. .

Lu Xi has moved back to an ordinary dormitory building, but he still walks a little slower than before. Deng Chang will help him carry his bag, euphemistically saying "this way you can walk faster".

Deng Chang didn't practice too much on the ice, he would always watch Lu Xi, and Chen Qi also came here almost every night, on the one hand, to pay attention to Lu Xi's recovery, and more importantly, his mental state.

Lucy's recovery speed is not bad, but he can clearly feel the impact of the foot injury on his skating ability. I don't know if he dare not use force or he can no longer use force as before.

You must know that Lu Xi's technical movements are extremely dependent on his skating ability, so no one knows what the child is thinking in his heart.

He didn't say anything, and now Chen Qi and Deng Chang didn't dare to ask, so they could only stay by his side all the time.

But everyone knew that Lu Xi was under pressure. Although he didn't talk much all the time, he could clearly feel that his heart was stuffy now.

Therefore, Cui Xiao, who originally went back to his hometown, also used the reason of "wanting to be an intern skating coach", and rushed back to the first body after Lu Xi started rehabilitation training. In this way, he accompanied Lu Xi during the day, and Deng Chang accompanied Lu Xi in the evening. Xi, at night when Lu Xi came back to sleep, he and Lu Xi slept together, and Deng Chang and Lu Xi faced each other, so as to minimize the possibility of the child doing any stupid things.

Just like that, half a month later, the weather became hotter and hotter, and Lucy began to practice jumping.

If Lucy didn't encounter too many obstacles in terms of skating and footwork, when he returned to the most difficult movement of figure skating, jumping, he obviously encountered trouble.

It’s most obvious when you have trouble jumping. For example, you could jump for three or four weeks, but now you can only jump for two weeks. These are all obvious issues.

After Lu Xi did several sets of axels in a row, he said that he wanted to drink some water. Deng Chang responded. He was watching the trajectory of Lu Xi's skates on the ice.

The trajectories reflect the depth and strength of the blade. Looking at these trajectories, we can see whether Lucy is still in an unstable state due to injuries, or has basically found a stable jumping method but must start from scratch.

Deng Chang stretched out his fingers and touched each of the two trajectories, feeling the depth of the arc. Before he had time to think further, he suddenly straightened up with a jerk—Lu Xi, who had agreed to drink some water, hadn't come back yet.

Deng Chang panicked all of a sudden, if something happened to Lu Xi, if something happened to Lu Xi under his nose... He rushed down the ice quickly, first walked around the rest area, found no one, and immediately went to change clothes room rush.

At this time, thanks to the design of the ice rink, the structure is very simple. Deng Chang didn't need to search for a long time before he saw the door of the men's locker room was ajar.

Extreme tension and fear seized the heart in an instant, and Deng Chang kicked the door open without even thinking about it.

-

When the light that leaked in from outside reflected the shadow leaning against the window, Deng Chang's heartbeat almost stopped, he was afraid that he would see something that he dared not face.

Fortunately not.

Lucy curled up on the bench, leaning against the locker room cabinet, leaning against the wall, holding her knees with her hands, looking very small.

Hearing Deng Chang's voice, he looked up, his eyes were reflected by the light outside, and looked watery, as if he was about to cry.

"I won't do anything stupid," Lucy said.

"En." Deng Chang responded with difficulty, his throat tightened.This is almost the first time since going on the ice for more than half a month, Lucy said his thoughts for the first time, "But we, I'm afraid of you..."

He didn't know how to continue, but Lucy didn't seem to want to listen.

Lu Xi looked at Deng Chang, lowered his eyes again, stared at his knees, and asked in a low voice, "Can you hug me?"
