17 years on ice [figure skating]

◎There is a small men's single coming in this year. ◎

"I was wrong." Deng Chang stood at the door of Luxi's room with a sincere tone.

"I don't want to talk to you." Lucy said angrily.

Ms. Gu Qianqian sat at the dining table with her legs crossed, eating melons and watching the show.

"I'm sorry." Deng Chang continued.

Lu Xi didn't really want to show him face, he just felt wronged: "This is the first time for me to peel an orange for someone."

"I was so surprised, that's why I couldn't believe it." Deng Chang said, "But anyway, I was wrong."

As soon as this remark came out, both Lu Xi and Gu Qianqian were shocked.

Is this really what Deng Chang can say?

"How about I peel an orange for you too." Deng Chang said, "I didn't give anyone..."

"No, no, no." Lucy couldn't hold back anymore, and rushed out like a whirlwind, "Okay, okay, I can barely stop being angry."

Deng Chang looked at Gu Qianqian: "Orange—"

"Don't, don't, don't." Lu Xi jumped between Deng Chang and Gu Qianqian, blocking their gaze with his body, "I don't eat oranges, I get acne."

He pointed to a small red point on his right cheek, "Look, I almost got pimples just by peeling an orange."

Deng Chang looked at him: "Then I'll make you a midnight snack?"

"I don't eat supper!" Lu Xi hurriedly waved his hand again, "I'm so fat, if I eat supper again, I won't be able to dance for two weeks in my life."

Gu Qianqian looked at her baby who was about to throw a temper tantrum, but actually couldn't bear to torment others. She was really cute. She lightly coughed and reminded Deng Chang: "Don't bully him."

Deng Chang: "Okay."

Lucy:?

A smile appeared in Deng Chang's eyes, and he silently turned his gaze away.

After a while, Lu Xi realized that this man was just saying it to tease him on purpose, knowing that he would not ask him for supper.

He flew into a rage, turned around, and slammed the door again with a "bang", ignoring the annoying player Deng Chang all night.

-

When Lucy got up the next morning, she found fried eggs, bread slices with jam and butter, and even fried sausages on the table—of course, the sausages that Gu Qianqian stuffed herself.

He was very surprised.

Because my mother doesn't like Western-style food. In her words, it is "not delicious and has no technical content."

Although she won't stop Lu Xi from eating, as a Chinese cooking god, she will never allow her staff to make such a dish without wok.

Lu Xi froze for a moment, then understood, and looked at Deng Chang.

Deng Chang was pouring orange juice, his sleeves were rolled up to his wrists, obviously he had just come out of the kitchen, and expressed his apology to Lucy yesterday with a breakfast.

Lu Xi thought for a while, and sweetly said to Gu Qianqian: "Thank you, Mom—"

Gu Qianqian: "Pfft!!"

Deng Chang: "..."

Lu Xi was triumphant when he pulled back a victory, and Deng Chang resignedly handed the orange juice to Lu Xi. Gu Qianqian really liked to watch this kind of drama where the two sons were noisy, and she enjoyed watching it very much.

-

As a result, after staying in Songcheng for a few days, Lu Xi returned to the capital.

Because logically, Deng Chang should stay in the national team for training now, and Jiang Han has been sending him new choreography these days, which is already causing trouble for others.

Moreover, Lu Xi didn't want Mr. Qi and He Wenbo to work hard for him every day.

He has a rehabilitation specialist for the national team—actually, Cui Xiao. Although it is troublesome to trouble Cui Xiao, and troublesome Wen Bo is also troublesome, but Cui Xiao has money, so it is not troublesome.

Back on the team, Cui Xiao was shocked by his recovery. Although he said that he still didn't have many moves and was still in the axel stage, his stability was obviously strengthened.

Lucy's right foot was injured, which has the advantage that his spin is hardly affected, because most of the spins are done with the left foot as the supporting foot, and Lucy is small and has a low center of gravity, so he looks good when doing spins.

At a critical moment when basically other skills have to be practiced from scratch, at least there are some things that he can hold firmly, which comforts him.

-

Back on the first day of reporting to the first body, Cui Xiao came to pick up Lu Xi and Deng Chang, beaming like a Chinese New Year.

"I've lost a lot of weight, Xiaoxi." When we met at the gate of the first body, Cui Xiao said this in surprise.

Lucy:"……"

He is still far from his ideal body shape, and he thought in shock: How fat have I become a while ago?

"Go and put your things away, and then there will be a meeting this afternoon. It stands to reason that you and Xiao Chang don't have to attend, but Baotouer said that since he is back, he should show his face." Cui Xiao said.

"What will?" Deng Chang asked.

"Welcome party for new players." Cui Xiao said, "There is a small men's singles coming in this year."

The national team recruits new players every year, and the number of places is not fixed. The men's singles has not recruited new players since 17. It is estimated that the few key players are not good enough, and the new generation of Lu Xi and Deng Chang are in their prime. , can last for a while.

The sudden recruitment this time was probably due to Lu Xi's injury.

Although it is cruel to say so, from the perspective of the team, it is understandable to directly train Lu Xi's successor when he may lose his competitiveness.

Cui Xiao, Deng Chang, and Lu Xi all understand this, but there is an implicit competitive relationship among athletes. Even Lu Xi and Deng Chang are rivals in the same arena. From this perspective, the arrival of newcomers It won't have any effect on them.

Lucy even asked with interest: "What level of rookie?"

"Fourth in this year's World Youth Championship." Cui Xiao said, "The result is not bad. Of course, it is not as good as you, but it has great potential. Our men's singles have been really lucky in recent years."

The fourth place in the World Youth Championship, Lu Xi and Deng Chang didn't have any memories. They were busy preparing for the World Youth Championship at that time. He slapped himself in the face.

On the way to the meeting room, they checked and found out that the new team member was Gao Zhuoxiao, 16 years old this year, a member of the provincial team next door, and he looked handsome in the photos.

He finished fourth in the World Youth Championship, but looking at the small score table, he was technically inferior to 16-year-old Lu Xi Deng Chang, and only became a quadruple jump.

But still very good.

Especially considering that the current state of Lu Xi is a mystery and the recovery period is still uncertain, it is not an exaggeration to say that Gao Zhuoxiao is a strong competitor.

-

In the conference room, coaches Bao Zhongjie, Chen Qi, Lin Yingsu, and assistants were sitting there. In addition, Liu Xinyu and other players from the national team were also present. Bao Zhongjie introduced Gao Zhuoxiao to them.

Bao Zhongjie only had Liu Xinyu as the men's singles. He wanted to rob Lu Xi but did not rob Chen Qi. This time, Gao Zhuoxiao was directly under his hands, and it was obvious that he valued him very much.

Gao Zhuoxiao is a little whiter and taller than in the photo, like a young poplar who is full of vigor, with a rather shy personality.

When Bao Zhongjie introduced him to everyone, he lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly, showing his small canine teeth, and only said to Deng Chang: "This time I finally met my idol."

"Xiao Chang, Zhuo Xiao likes you very much." Bao Zhongjie said with a smile, "I really appreciate your jumping, and you can take him with you when you have time."

For some unknown reason, Lu Xi sneaked an elbow at Deng Chang.He only knew that he was definitely not envious of Deng Chang's small fans.

"Thank you..." Deng Chang replied to Bao Zhongjie, and was elbowed by Lu Xi after saying one word. He paused, and then continued, "Thank you."

Then, he secretly glanced at Lucy.

Lucy mouth-shaped: little fan.

Bao Zhongjie didn't notice the conversation between the two, and didn't even notice Deng Chang's subtle hesitation when he replied. He continued: "Xiao Chang, if you have time, you should also guide Zhuo Xiao more and take care of the younger generation."

"Okay." Deng Chang replied.

Lu Xi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and he elbowed Deng Chang again. While Bao Zhongjie took Gao Zhuoxiao to talk to the pair of Olympic champions in pair skating, he quickly asked Deng Chang: "Really?"

"What really?" Deng Chang didn't react.

"Do you really want to bring the younger generation?" Lucy said.

It's right to think about it, the team wants to improve, isn't it important to communicate, and that Gao Zhuoxiao looks very good, even Lu Xi himself has a good impression of him, anyway... he seems to be quite narrow-minded.

Deng Chang glanced at Lu Xi, smiled inexplicably, and said in a low voice:

"It must be fake."
