17 years on ice [figure skating]

Boyhood Memories◇

◎"Why are you so nice to me?"◎

If it's just a matter of fact, this little turmoil on Weibo will soon be over, and Lu Xi won't be too concerned.

But Deng Chang said "forever".

It suddenly reminded Lucy of his childhood.

When I was very young, I was nine or ten years old.

It was the first time I saw Deng Chang do a triple axel after jumping, and I was more competitive with Deng Chang in my heart.

Huang Bin is a good father, but from the perspective of professional skills, he is really not a top-notch coach.

So when he was going to let Lucy start practicing triple jumps, he sent Lucy to the provincial team for training for a few days, thinking about laying a good foundation for Lucy.

The environment of the provincial team is not as strict as expected, especially since they are still a youth team. When the coach trains one person, others can more or less fish for it.

At that time, Lucy had completed three weeks of training on land, and then practiced on the ice, which was his first triple axel jump.

The sliding speed of Xiaoluxi is very good, the sliding posture is also very good, and the center of gravity is quite low.

When children do technical movements, they are always a little naive and cute due to lack of body control, but Lu Xi has no such performance at all in skating.

Like an adult, fully fledged figure skater.

So when he slid across the midfield line and started to jump, the coach couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, wondering if Lucy could give him many surprises.

As a result, Lucy completely collapsed when he took off.

After barely turning for two and a half weeks, the child fell forward facing forward like a lead bullet. When he landed, his legs were spread apart, and the next second he lost control and fell to his knees on the ground, in a state of embarrassment. Fly far away on the ice.

If it weren't for the two hands supporting the ice, it is estimated that that handsome face would have been slapped directly on the ice.

coach:"……"

Lucy stood up in embarrassment, and ran to the coach to listen to the instructions.

In fact, it’s normal to jump like this for the first time. It’s just that Lu Xi’s skating gave the coach what he shouldn’t have expected. The coach told him the technical essentials of raising the center of gravity and swinging the axis. I understood, and did it a second time.

Unsurprisingly, another duck landed on the ground.

The coach said: "You can practice again and find out how you feel."

This is what it means for the coach to instruct others and let Lucy practice freely.

Lucy nodded: "Yes."

Luxi has been very tenacious since he was a child, let alone ice skating, which he liked very much. He flicked off the ice foam splashed on his gloves because he fell, and was about to skate again. Sitting on it was a little boy.

Deng Chang didn't come to training today. He was wearing a slightly larger orange T-shirt, sports trousers, and his legs were slightly separated. He was sitting in the row closest to the auditorium.

His face is very thin, without the roundness unique to children, and there is almost no cute-looking "childhood", and he has stepped into a beautiful boy, with wide cuffs revealing thin and strong arms, and the loose clothes show his shoulders and back. Standing straight, he rested his chin on one hand and looked at Lu Xi, not knowing what he was thinking.

Before that, Lu Xi and Deng Chang had never talked, except for his sharp comment of "weaker than me", logically speaking, there is no reason to talk now.

But when Lu Xi looked over, Deng Chang stood up.

Lu Xi secretly watched Deng Chang's jump many times, and he admired that jump very much.

Most people would be a little timid when facing someone they adored, but Lucy was not that kind of person, not even when he was nine years old.

Lu Xi felt that Deng Chang wanted to talk to him, so he slid towards Deng Chang, even if Deng Chang wasn't, it didn't matter.

Songcheng Ice Rink does not have any major competitions. The auditorium is arranged for parents of athletes, young athletes who come to observe, or leaders who come down from above, so it is very close to the ice rink.Lu Xi slid over, Deng Chang walked over, and the two got very close.

The other athletes were practicing on their own, and the coach didn't look at Lu Xi. There were only the two of them in this corner.Although the two of them were only one year apart at that time, there seemed to be a three or four year age gap between them.

At that time, Lu Xi had big eyes and a high nose bridge, and showed a full mouth of small white teeth when he smiled. He was very beautiful, but his face was still a cute little bun face. It was a famous little milk bun in Crane City. Anyone who saw it wanted to rub him.

The little milk bag had such a face on it. Under the premise of wearing skates and stepping on the ice higher than the horizon, she looked straight at Deng Chang: "What's the matter?"

Deng Chang looked at him with a calm expression. At a certain moment, Lu Xi felt that he was about to be ridiculed.

But then Deng Chang opened his mouth, "Your jumping movement and axis are actually fine, but there is something wrong with your mentality."

"I thought about falling when I took off, is this normal?"

Lucy was stunned.A little over nine was not old enough for him to think about it.

"If it's not for landing on the ice, there's no need to take off." Deng Chang said, "Understood?"

Lucy actually didn't quite understand.

But he nodded with a puffy face.

Deng Chang didn't even say yes, but nodded lightly, and sat back in his auditorium. It's strange, he is obviously the proud son of Songcheng Ice Rink, but he was a little tired after walking those few steps Feel.

Lu Xi didn't think much about it at the time, and went to dance again. When he took off, he understood what Deng Chang meant.

The first thing a figure skater masters is how to fall painlessly. If he is practicing for "falling painlessly", he will be timid at the moment of take-off and will cater to his landing movements.

Furthermore, strength, height, speed, center of gravity, attitude in the air...all will be insufficient.

Jumping for falling ice is different.

Lucy tried his best to overcome the instinct of defense and jumped again.

This somersault made half of his buttocks go numb, but he was full and he fell because his feet tripped over the ice when he landed.

Jumped again.

This time, he staggered and landed on the ice, holding the ice with one hand.

But it fell.

The moment Lu Xi fell off the ice, he was both surprised and happy. He didn't even care about the coach, and immediately looked at Deng Chang in the distance.

The Deng Chang who was said to be "weaker than me" by him and always had a cold face, probably because he was very upset with him, was still sitting in the audience seat.

With elbows resting on his knees, a straight and elegant curve is drawn from the neck to the back of the shoulders, with a grass stalk in his mouth, looking at him, with an indifferent look on his face that will be lively here because he has nothing to do expression, slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

-

For many years after that, Lu Xi was not sure whether the smile she saw from Deng Chang was real, because Deng Chang had never smiled at him except that afternoon, no, it should be said that he was indifferent to answers.

It was only now when Deng Chang said the phrase "sincerely happy for you" that reality and memory "clicked" together perfectly.

Looking at Deng Chang, Lu Xi felt a surge of heat that filled his entire chest. It can be said that he was moved, but it seemed that he was not just moved. The complex emotions flowed slowly through his limbs with the blood, and he stuck for a while before asking: " Why are you so nice to me?"

Deng Chang didn't raise his eyelids: "Maybe because you are sometimes blank, people want to protect you more."

Lucy:"……"

Not at all cheery.

"That's right." Deng Chang changed the subject calmly, "The coach said that after today's competition, he will take us to buy dresses for the dance. According to my understanding of the coach's aesthetics, you should hurry up and think about what you want while you are free. What style do you want?"
