17 years on ice [figure skating]

◎"So what do you think?"◎

Laowa should also have a formal, official retirement ceremony.

At that time, he would bow to the reporters present in a suit and tie, announcing his decision to retire from professional figure skating, but tonight's retirement ball is obviously not the occasion.

Only contestants are at the ball.

Without an entourage, the contestants are like students being put into a party without a teacher, and they are all herding sheep.

This place is like a disco party, the only difference from disco is that all the drinks and snacks on the venue are packaged in disposable plastic packaging, and the contestants have to open the packaging by themselves for whatever they want to eat or drink.

Otherwise, in such an occasion, if someone really had bad intentions and secretly placed something in it, the world's top men's singles and women's singles would be wiped out in a swarm.

Lao Wa and Orihara danced for a while, and many athletes on the scene also danced with them.

This kind of battle was too lively for the two good babies, Lu Xi and Deng Chang. Neither of them dared to move, they squatted obediently behind to eat and eat, until a young boy with blond mushroom head panted break in.

Most people didn't pay much attention to him, but Varichenko, who was dancing with Orihara, saw the little mushroom head at a glance and snapped his fingers at him.

So everyone's eyes turned to the past, and the music stopped.

The boy's stature is really too small. Among the tall and big Russians, he is definitely a miniature school. Lucy estimated that his height is less than 1.6 meters.

The blond kid looks more like a doll, not to mention he still has a little mushroom head. Varichenko rubbed the head of the little mushroom head and introduced it to everyone with a smile:

"Everyone, this is my little brother Ilya, who will be promoted to the adult group in the 2020 season, thank you for taking care of me."

After speaking, he saluted.

The number one in the world used this method to introduce the younger brother to everyone. The players still want to sell this face. Everyone was applauding, and Lucy's jaw almost dropped in shock.

If you are less than 1.6 meters, you will be promoted to the senior group?

This height is really too talented.

After that, Varichenko said, "I will retire at the end of this season. In a few days, there will be a formal retirement ceremony and an open letter to explain to everyone. We will not talk so much tonight. I am the master. I hope all friends Have a great night!"

After saying this, Varichenko raised his eyebrows and smiled, and snapped his fingers. Little Ilya was the first to jump off the dance floor enthusiastically, and then Varichenko followed suit.

Now, the party really started.

Some male contestants invite their favorite female contestants to dance. This kind of ball is a good opportunity for fellowship between contestants.

"Shall we go down to dance too?" Lu Xi asked Deng Chang.

"Listen to you." Deng Chang said.

Lucy actually wanted to dance, it looked like fun.

But at this moment, he hasn't turned his mind around. What he thinks is that there must be a man and a woman to dance. No one comes over for the Chinese women's singles. He doesn't know the other women's singles players well, and he doesn't know how to strike up a conversation. "Let's see the situation later, I can't find a dance partner."

Deng Chang was stunned and said, "Okay."

So the two continued to sit at the bar and eat, and they were considered popular, so when Lu Xi had just eaten half of the first small sandwich, someone came over and asked him, "Lu, don't you want to dance?"

Lucy turned around, and there were two Russian girls standing beside him, one with loose hair and the other with a ball head, standing together arm in arm, looking at him and smiling.

The reason why I knew it was a Russian girl was because the two girls, Lucy, knew each other.

One is the 16-year-old Sophia who just won the women's singles championship at the World Championships, and the other is her junior sister, Alina, who has already completed the quadruple jump in the competition, although she is still in the youth group.

Lu Xi also showed Deng Chang her video this summer.

"I don't know who to dance with." Lucy replied.

Sophia laughed when she heard this, with sweet dimples showing at the corners of her mouth. She leaned over and said a few words in Russian to Elena, who also shrugged her shoulders and laughed.

The two little girls chattered and bit their ears for a while, and Sophia said, "I really want to invite you, but won't you dance with Deng?"

"I dance with him?" Lucy pointed to Deng Chang who was sitting next to him in surprise.The tone was surprised, but I suddenly felt that this seemed to be a good idea.

Originally, when the two Russian girls came over, Deng Chang consciously moved to the side to avoid disturbing their conversation, but now that they cue him, Deng Chang looked over again.

Sophia nodded: "Aren't you two together?"

"We are together." Lucy replied blankly.

-

Strange to say, as soon as Lucy finished speaking, Sophia raised her eyebrows and raised the corners of her mouth. She looked like a little girl who had discovered some secret, and shook Alina's shoulder in surprise and joy.

Elena's eyes were wide open, she covered her mouth in surprise, looked at Lu Xi and Deng Chang, as if she was about to scream in the next second.

Lucy:?

He was confused, and saw Deng Chang move towards him, and whispered, "They're not talking about being together."

"Which one is that together?" Lucy asked blankly.

"Yes..." Deng Chang paused, struggling with how to speak, but Lu Xi had already come to his senses.

"Damn." Lu Xi obviously didn't drink, but felt that his ears were hot, and he didn't even dare to look at Deng Chang again.

He quickly explained to the two Russian girls, "No, no, we are not together, I misunderstood, we just play together, we..."

His English was mediocre at first, but now he speaks incoherently, and he doesn't know what he is panicking about.

He didn't object to homosexuality, but now he was shocked, afraid that others would misunderstand his relationship with Deng Chang.

Fortunately, although Lucy couldn't explain it clearly, the red ears and the frantic waving of his hands were enough for the two little girls to understand what he wanted to express. They giggled for a while, and Sophia took Elena's hand and ran away , leaving Lu Xi alone with the awkward atmosphere.

Lu Xi secretly glanced at Deng Chang on the right, and found that Deng Chang was holding a small glass of sparkling wine.

He really wanted to have a drink too, but Chen Qi had told him "minors should not drink alcohol", and he knew that he was too drunk to talk nonsense, so he still controlled his hand.

But it seems awkward to talk to Deng Chang now.

Lu Xi had done a lot of stupid things before, and many of them were more serious than this, but it happened to be this, which made him extremely embarrassed, and now his ears were still hot, and he didn't dare to look at Deng Chang.

He himself thought it was quite strange, and when he got to the bottom of it, it was probably because he accidentally said something wrong, which made the two little girls mistakenly think that he and Deng Chang had that kind of relationship, which had a bad effect on Deng Chang's reputation, so he felt embarrassed Bar.

Lu Xi contemplated for a long time before deciding how to talk to Deng Chang, probably "Brother Deng, why don't we go down and have a disco too", and then explain this matter while we are doing disco.

As a result, Lucy turned her head, and before she could speak, she saw a beautiful girl in a slim suspender dress holding a wine glass, leaning on the bar with her elbows, standing in front of Deng Chang in a moving "S" posture.

-

This pretty girl seems to be a French player with mediocre grades, but her face is perfect.Gray eyes that seem to contain smoke, round slightly pouty lips, and waist-length soft blond hair, like a goddess in a story.

She looked at Deng Chang with a smile, making no secret of her admiration for him. Deng Chang leaned sideways to her and listened intently to her, leaving only a half back profile of Lu Xi.

This is a scene that Lucy did not expect.

He suddenly didn't know what to say and what to do. He stared blankly at Deng Chang's shoulders wrapped in a suit, feeling suddenly inexplicably lost.

"I appreciate you, Deng." The French girl said with a smile.

When she pronounced the sound "Deng", her two bright red lips parted slightly, revealing her shell-like white teeth, and she still had a faint smile on her face, as if this name was some kind of precious treasure.

"Thank you." Deng Chang said.

"Would you like to invite me to a dance?" asked the French girl again.

Lu Xi suddenly seemed to be entangled by a creeper, and the uncomfortable and lost emotions climbed up his body like crazy in the noisy feasting and feasting, almost drowning him.

Deng Chang smiled: "No, sorry."

The ivy in Lu Xi's heart stopped for a moment.

But it didn't subside immediately, and still strangled him relentlessly.

The French girl was taken aback and asked, "Do you like girls with black hair?"

Logically speaking, Deng Chang would not be able to answer, but he actually answered: "You can think so."

The French girl smiled and said "It's a pity" and left. Deng Chang didn't say anything else, but watched her off politely, then turned back, and was surprised to see Lucy lying on the bar listlessly: " What’s wrong with you?"

-

What's wrong with me.

Lu Xi thought I didn't know, Deng Chang didn't go to the dance, he seemed to be getting better, but not completely.

"It's nothing, I just think you are a good match for that girl." Lucy said.

It's very rude to talk like that.

Deng Chang was taken aback for a moment, but didn't reply.

"Why don't you go dancing." Lucy said, "She invited you."

Deng Chang was silent for a while and said, "Because I don't want to dance with her."

"I don't even think about you, it's too high-sighted." Lucy laughed, "That girl is really beautiful."

After saying this, Lucy himself felt strange, it wasn't like what he would say, with a not strong but obvious offensiveness, he was surprised that he would say this, but he did say it.

The sound of the beating heart came through his eardrums, carrying an echo.

Maybe he was used to having Deng Chang by his side, so suddenly someone wanted to snatch Deng Chang away, and he couldn't accept it.

is that so.

Deng Chang ignored Lu Xi, obviously he couldn't answer those words.The flickering spotlights illuminated his thin and even deserted outline, and the young man's shoulders and neck were smooth and distinct.

He clenched the wine glass with his fingers, exerting force for some reason, and a clear tendon stretched out on the inside of his wrist.

Lu Xi thought he must be angry, because what he said was really not very clever.Just when he was thinking of saying something to ease the atmosphere, Deng Chang turned to look at him.

The shape of Deng Chang's eyes is beautiful, Lu Xi has always felt so, maybe because of the heat in the air, or the color of the glass of wine in Deng Chang's hand is very eye-catching, he inexplicably feels that his breathing is a little tight.

The changing light reflected Deng Chang's eyes, making the emotions in them as unclear as the lights.

"So what do you think?" Deng Chang asked.
