figure skating king

When Victor was 10 years old, his parents divorced, and his mother angrily took off her shoes at the Moscow airport and threw them on the back of the man's head, which still didn't slow him down a bit.

Of course, my mother is entitled to be angry, because their family was actually quite happy. Although my father is a scientific researcher who is obsessed with science, and his emotional intelligence is not high. Coupled with material affluence, even though he didn't spend much time with his father, Victor didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his home.

He didn't even know why his parents had come to the point of divorce.

My mother loves my father so much, she resigned from her position as the principal violinist of the orchestra because of that man, just to follow him to Russia. She put the violin in the box, rolled up her sleeves, learned to cook Russian dishes, learned to do housework, and took care of the whole family.

Some of my father's relatives didn't like her mother's background (she was an illegitimate daughter), and my father broke up with the family in order to marry her.

Even though his father's temper is a bit weird, Victor often feels "why his mother can bear him", but they have always been very good, so good that sometimes Victor feels that he is ignored by his parents, he longs for his parents' attention, and feels that they are actually Love is pretty good.

But without knowing where to start, his father began to stay out at night, and he began to alienate his family. He resigned from his post at the Research Institute affiliated to Moscow State University, filed for divorce, and then left the house and money, carrying his luggage and traveling to nowhere. s plane.

Mother cried bitterly at the airport, covering her face. After crying for a while, she felt that it was not decent, so she took Victor to find a place to sit down.

Amy asked him, "Vicia, do you like Russia or France?"

Victor froze for a moment, then asked sensitively, "Mom, do you want to go back to France?"

Then Amy told him: "If you want to stay in Russia, mom will accompany you in Russia. If you are interested in France, mom will take you to France."

Victor said he would stay in Russia, he was more used to life here.

So Amy found a job as a violin teacher. She not only had to do housework and take care of the children every day, but also went out to work to make money. She firmly believed that even if her ex-husband left money, she could not just sit and eat, not to mention that learning figure skating was very exhausting. Regarding money, she must have income to support her son in pursuing his dream.

Victor's long-awaited mother's undivided attention finally came to him after his father left, but he would rather his mother be happy.

Half a year later, he won No.1 in a certain competition, and was appreciated by the famous figure skating coach Yakov Feltsman, so he took the train to St. Petersburg to study in another strange place figure skating.

He thought that this might be a good thing, training with Yakov would make him skate better, and if he went to live in the dormitory of the sports center, his mother would save the energy of taking care of him and live a more relaxed life.

Originally, with the financial resources of the family, it was a bit tight to pay for Victor to go to St. Petersburg, but at this time his father suddenly contacted them again.

Andrei Nikiforov said that he is currently working in a hospital in St. Petersburg, and is willing to fulfill a man's obligation to give them living expenses. If Victor goes to St. Petersburg, he can live in one of his apartments in St. Petersburg.

Amy wanted to send him to St. Petersburg, but couldn't let go of work, so she packed the suitcase full and told him to pay attention to safety on the road. After getting off the car, she waited for Andre to pick him up at the exit. He had to listen to the coach and be careful. eat well train...

She talked so much and waved to him from the window of the train.

"Vitenka, you have to be well, okay? Call mom when you get there."

Victor lay at the window and looked at her with a sore nose. He kept waving: "Mom, are you well too? Don't be too tired, I can take care of myself."

He almost threw down the suitcase, jumped out of the window, hugged his mother's waist and said that he would not leave, he would stay by her side and not go anywhere, but he had to leave again.

When he arrived in St. Petersburg, his eyes were red and his throat was dry, and he was crying.

Andrei stood in the cold wind to pick him up. The man had no intention of carrying the suitcase for his son. He was silent and indifferent with his eyes on. He led Victor to a one-bedroom, one-living-room fully furnished apartment away from the city center, saying that he would Help pay the monthly rent and property utilities, and will regularly leave him living expenses. If you want to go to the sports center, you can take the nearby subway.

But when Victor saw that the house had only one bedroom, he knew that this man would not live with him.

Just like before the divorce, he always only gave material goods and no care, but Victor was not too surprised.

So he went to the sports center the next day to find Yakov to report. Yakov is a middle-aged man who looks a little serious. His hairline is as precarious as Victor's father, but he is really good at teaching students and is trustworthy.

Victor is very talented, especially in jumping. He is only ten years old, and he can already do triple axels all over the field, and the success rate of jumping is no worse than those older children who have already participated in the youth competition.

He was bullied because of this, for example, some dirty things were thrown in the locker, or the skates were thrown in the trash can, some players would slap him hard when they passed by him, he turned his head, and those people said they Just kidding.

"Don't look like you can't take a joke, boy," said the men.

But Victor faced it well, no matter how bullied by those people, he never cried once.

Lilia adores the delicate looking kid and she suggests he grow his hair long and braid it, the lady's closeness makes things better for Victor and he is grateful for that, of course Lilia is also serious , she would reprimand Victor in dance class for not having enough emotion in his dancing and thus not being beautiful enough.

"The beauty of dance comes from the rhythm of the body and the volatilization of emotions. You can't be the chief in this way."

Victor accepted it humbly, but unfortunately he still didn't quite know how to integrate emotion into dance, it was too mysterious.

For a long time after that, Victor was often stared at and scolded by Lilia in dance class.

But he still loves Lilia very much. After all, on Christmas Day, even his father didn't think of giving him a gift, but Lilia handed him a beautifully wrapped gift bag when class was over.

Of course, he also loves Yakov, because when Viktor was injured in a certain fall, this man who had been holding on to airs panicked and carried Viktor to the infirmary. His strong arms were like the ones he had dreamed about many times. Father's arms.

Victor's father had never hugged him like this.

He felt that he was beginning to like St. Petersburg.

This year, under the specific guidance of Coach Tanaka, Yuuri completed his first jump, but he fell badly during practice. At that time, Yuko and Nishi Gun who were beside him thought that this crying child would give up Yes, but Yuuri didn't.

He would wipe away his tears, then get up and continue practicing.

Timid, introverted and asthmatic, with low immunity and frequent illnesses, Yuuri, who didn't even go to kindergarten, is unexpectedly a tenacious kid. Even if he is ordered to skate boring prescribed graphics all afternoon, he will take it seriously Do it, when Minako was learning ballet, he was tossed and cried by the flexibility training, but he never said "stop practicing".

He was Minako's first student, she was not very good at teaching children at that time, but Yuuri was really a good student, obedient and hardworking, he had a stubbornness about him, which made Minako always feel that she could see the light in him.

Encouraged by Minako, Yuuri plucked up the courage to participate in a very small children's figure skating competition. He walked into the competition venue timidly holding the hand of Teacher Minako, and saw many children who were one or two years older than him stepping on the ground. Skates come and go.

He asked in a low voice, "Minako-sensei, do I want to skate in front of so many people?"

Minako rubbed his head, and said softly: "It's okay, just think of a different place to skate, Yuuri is so cute, everyone will like your performance."

She felt that she was telling the truth, because Yuuri's performance costume looked like a small orange pumpkin, made by Hiroko's mother's skillful hands, the song was the famous nursery rhyme "Schnappi (Little Crocodile)", choreographed by Minako There are a lot of cute moves specially arranged at the time.

Rather than saying that Yuuri is here for the competition, it might be better to say that the kids are here to show off their cuteness to the public, but kids, that’s what they need to be cute, and she even brought a camera to make a video as a commemoration.

Even for the sake of his cuteness, the referees would not let him take the last place. This is Minako's self-confidence.

Unfortunately, Yuuri was not comforted, the little guy was almost terrified when he saw so many people for the first time, so after finishing the performance with a crying face, he threw himself into Minako's arms and groaned began to cry.

But Yuuri still took No.3 in the end, probably because the little pumpkin with a crying face is also very cute.
