17 years on ice [figure skating]

◎Reluctance is useless. ◎

Deng Chang was wearing a black down jacket, and Lu Xi was wearing a white down jacket, walking side by side towards the dormitory.

The down jackets from the Northeast are stuffed with duck down to keep out the cold, so even though Lu Xi and Deng Chang are both slender, they look like a sesame dumpling next to a glutinous rice dumpling from a distance, very cute.

Nuomi Duanzi eagerly asked Sesame Duanzi, "Is Old Wa handsome?"

Lucy did not particularly admire the idol before, but after knowing that Varichenko had two fractures and became the world's number one, he became a fan of Varichenko. Although Deng Chang did not win a medal in this year's Winter Olympics, he Varichenko won his second gold medal since the three Winter Olympics, and he also happily posted a dynamic congratulations on station B.

"Handsome." Sesame Dumpling replied concisely.

"That's right!" Lu Xi said enthusiastically, "Isn't it very interesting to watch Lao Wa live!"

He has long heard that Varichenko is extremely expressive, and watching his performance live will be deeply moved by his appeal.But I have never had the chance to see the scene, and I am full of thoughts that I must go to the next competition.

"Yes." Deng Chang replied, "As expected of being number one in the world."

Lu Xi somehow felt that Deng Chang was a little depressed, thinking that Deng Chang might be too high-spirited, and was depressed that he did not win a medal in the Winter Olympics, so he patted Deng Chang on the shoulder: "You will be better than Lao Wa in the future !"

Deng Chang glanced at him and raised the corners of his mouth to express his happiness.

Lucy has stopped thinking about Varichenko's matter, in fact, his attention is more on Deng Chang.

Results are very important, but that was on the ice rink, and now he is walking on the path with Deng Chang, his attention can easily be diverted to messy directions.

For example, he flicked the sleeves of Deng Chang's down jacket: "A black jacket is more handsome than a white one, I have to tell my mother next time, don't buy me a white one again."

"There is no handsome old Wa." Deng Chang replied.

Lucy:? ?

He looked at Deng Chang in a daze, and Deng Chang raised his eyes to look at the bare treetops, with an expression that he didn't say anything just now.

-

After the Winter Olympics, there is one World Championship left.

Players with better results in the Winter Olympics have retired one after another. In order to recuperate and prepare for the next season, this is basically the case after each Winter Olympics. It is easier to "miss" in the World Championships.

Deng Chang didn't participate either, and let Lu Xi go, because he has played three stages of the grand prix this year, plus the Winter Olympics, the physical exertion is quite serious, even if he goes to the grand prix, he will not have 4F in terms of difficulty The set, that is, the difficulty is the same as that of Lucy, but the condition is not as good as Lucy.

So Lu Xi was able to compete with a bunch of No. [-] seeds including Subaru Asano, and the final result was a bronze medal that broke through history.

In all fairness to Lu Xi, this bronze medal has no gold content, because none of the top three recognized in the world came, and neither did Deng Chang.

But no matter how "no gold content", this is also a bronze medal in the World Championships, representing the best result in the history of domestic men's singles in this event, adding some world ranking points for him, and also won two men's singles for next year's World Championships The number of places, so Lucy himself didn't feel that this medal saved his traffic again.

Deng Chang's No.4 in the Winter Olympics, coupled with Lu Xi's bronze medal in the World Championships, has a real record. This pair of men's singles twins once again appeared on social media with a strong and eye-catching posture.

The 2018 season ended so quickly.

A few days after the end of the season, a small video was released in a news feed sent by Lu Xi and Deng Chang's B station account at the same time. In the video, just like the double jump between Lu Xi and Asano Subaru before, Lu Xi and Deng Chang Smoothly slide and jump on the ice rink at the same time.

It's just that this time he jumped into 4F, which Lu Xi had never done before, with ice around the back.

-

Lucy's 4F is amazing, it was completed for the first time during the World Championships.

That day he just jumped during training.

Unexpectedly, it fell off the ice successfully.

After falling off the ice, Lu Xi, Chen Qi, and Cui Xiao, who accompanied him as a teaching assistant, were all startled into "O" mouths. They tried again and succeeded again.

At that time, Lu Xi was even eager to try, and wanted to program 4F into his World Championship program, until Chen Qi and Cui Xiaokuang complained, do you have that physical strength?This is the only way to give up.

But it did happen very suddenly.

Originally, Lu Xi thought that this 4F would only have a chance of success until the 2019 season started. It was probably a blessing in disguise when he studied the power posture during the injury, but he made great progress in jumping.

Lu Xi hasn't been back to Crane City for more than a year. He originally planned to go back during the offseason of the 2018 season, but unexpectedly injured his foot and stayed in the first body to recover.

This year I was excited to pack up my things and prepare to go back, but was stopped when I was about to leave.

Chen Qi said, "There is an ice performance, and I invite you to participate."

Ice performances refer to figure skating performances. Compared with competitions, the atmosphere is much more relaxed, the difficulty will be much lower, and more interesting. Da Dao, wearing a heavy "armor", changed his usual cool and cool little fairy style, but became one of his most played figure skating videos.

Ice performances are of course paid, it is a commercial performance, and it is also a major way for figure skaters to earn income.The domestic ice performance environment is very poor, because figure skating itself is a niche sport, and the athletes are not strong. To be honest, even if the ice performance is arranged, no one will watch it. On the contrary, if foreign players come to tour, they will be more popular. .

Ice performances are mainly popular in Japan, the United States, and Russia, among which the atmosphere of Japan and Russia is the strongest.This time, Lucy was invited to participate in an ice performance called "Star of the Century" in Japan.

"Go and experience it. Domestic players are rarely invited to ice performances." Chen Qi said, "Especially for newcomers like you, you are invited without any connections, which means that others really like you. It is an opportunity to broaden your horizons."

Lucy hesitated for a while and agreed.

He was still young, and it was the first time he encountered this kind of event invitation. He was inevitably a little shy and homesick.

But in the end he listened to Chen Qi's suggestion, and Chen Qi brought him the materials of Star of the Century Ice Show.

-

It was the first time to rehearse at the ice rink, and Lu Xi was surprised to find that Deng was also on the sidelines.

"Bingyan also invited you?" Lucy asked in surprise.

Deng Chang looked at him: "You seem very reluctant."

"..." Lu Xi wanted to say that he was actually a little happy, because the Century Star Bing performed five shows and would stay in Japan for half a month. He was quite nervous by himself, and it would be great to be with Deng Chang.

But when the words came to his lips, he was actually too embarrassed to say them.

Deng Chang glanced at him, and suddenly smiled in a moody mood, "It's useless to be reluctant, let's go on the ice."
