figure skating king

Victor's life in late November was chaotic. When he was dragged onto the train by his mother, he was in a daze. He was also in a daze when he got off the train. He couldn't react. He didn't understand why Andre left suddenly.

Although he knew before that his father was terminally ill with incurable cancer, so his father gave up continuing treatment, but returned to his mother and him, hoping to spend the last days with them, but because Andre was too healthy, so Victor He has no real sense of his father's imminent death.

He originally thought that they could still get along for a long time, even if his father was a man of science and engineering with low EQ, it would be easy to get angry with him, but in fact he didn't hate this kind of time.

Why did everything change suddenly?

He ran to Moscow to visit his friends without saying a word, and then he died. He didn't die of illness, and he didn't give Victor a chance to take care of him. He died in a car accident. It is said that he didn't look very good , so his mother did not allow Victor to see his remains.

Without even seeing each other for the last time, without saying goodbye, Victor is without a father, without one of the most important blood relatives.

Isn't all this ridiculous?

Many people came to the funeral, including Gehrman, his father's former friend, and some unknown people.

They recalled their past with their father and said that they met him by chance and received a lot of help from Mr. Andre. They said that Andre was a very good person, rational, calm and smart. Losing him caused them great pain.

In addition, a doctor from a hospital also came to stand on the stage and solemnly thanked Ms. Amy for signing an agreement with the hospital to donate her husband's two intact penis to two blind children to help them regain their sight... …

In the eyes of the young man, there was even a sense of irony. He didn't know these people, he didn't know any of them. elder.

There are also father's parents, his grandparents, the two old people supported each other, the grandfather put his shoulders in silence, and the always stubborn grandmother leaned on the mother's shoulders and wept.

The loss of a father in a young age and a son in an old age is the most painful thing in the world. Once you encounter it, you can't hold back your tears.

It rained heavily again at night, and Victor walked out of the hotel room and ran all the way to the cemetery, where there were two bouquets of fresh red roses in front of the tombstone.

How strange, to send red roses to the dead, I don't know which strange flower gave it.

He stood in front of his father's tombstone, looked at the photo, raised his head, and refused to lower his head for a long time.

What Victor didn't know was that he stood there for a long time and refused to leave, but because of the inconvenience of showing up during the day, he had to come to visit the two elders Yuuri at night.

Anatoly's funeral was prepared a long time ago. His children and grandchildren came to preside over the funeral. They could see that they were very sad, but because the gang they belonged to was fighting fiercely with other gangs, they didn't stay for long. Come and go in a hurry, and Yuuri attended Anatoly's funeral the whole time, and the whole melon cried miserably, but he didn't show up at Andre's funeral.

This is mainly because Anatole often takes Yuuri out, so some relatives and friends on his side know Yuuri, and children can naturally appear on the stage, while Andre has many ordinary relatives and friends here, so Yuuri consciously avoids it. Open, dare to come here at night.

Sending red roses is mainly because Anatoly said that he would give red roses to his wife?The little pumpkin felt that it was a bit shabby to send a rose, so he sent another bouquet.

Holding an umbrella, Yuuri squatted behind a piece of holly, impassively thinking about when Andre's son would leave, and if this guy didn't leave, he couldn't leave at ease, and the wait lasted for more than ten minutes.

In the end, Yuuri was in a hurry. With his physique being blown by the cold wind in Moscow in November, it was strange that he didn't have a fever when he went home at night. But from his experience, Nikiforov Jr. was wearing thin clothes, After being exposed to the rain for such a long time there, 11% of them are going to get sick.

Alas, one of them is already sick, and I can't fall another one, otherwise Amy will be so sad, Yuuri put away the umbrella and threw it back, then quickly ran into the bushes and ran away.

And Victor was standing there fine, thinking about going back, when he was hit on the head by an umbrella.

"Ow!"

Victor screamed in pain. Seeing that his umbrella was hit, he was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked behind the holly bushes, only to find that there was no one there.

This is the cemetery, and it was still night, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely strange.

Victor swallowed, and looked back at his father's tombstone, feeling a subtle sense of relief.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this is his father's territory, there really are some monsters, and you can't bully him in front of his father!

The little boy silently picked up the umbrella and opened it, and found that the umbrella was quite cute, with Halloween pumpkins on the dark blue surface.

"So childish."

Victor muttered, and searched for a long time with an umbrella, but he still couldn't find the person who threw the umbrella to him, so he had no choice but to leave.

On the night of returning home, Yuuri developed a high fever and was rushed to the hospital by Zhu Ling for an injection. The whole melon was burnt to death.

Katharina patted him on the head: "Which cemetery are you going to when it's raining in the middle of the night? See? Have you got a fever? Where's your umbrella?"

Yuuri replied pitifully: "Give it to the person who doesn't have an umbrella."

Zhu Ling said angrily: "Then you were hospitalized again, which is really worrying. Have you forgotten how bad your physique is? The dead space is also true. It only improves your resilience, why don't you also improve your immunity? Woolen cloth!"

An Jie was also the one who rushed over to attend the funeral. He squatted while peeling an apple, and said in agreement, "That's right, I finally found an umbrella with a pumpkin pattern on it for you, but you turned around and gave it away. A heartless boy."

Yuuri: "...Oh."

Ps: Afterwards, Yuuri learned from Amy that Victor arrived home safely and in good health, not to mention being sick and having a fever. Run a few kilometers.

The children are deeply aware of the cold resistance ability of the fighting nation, and the difference in physique cannot be compared.

For the first time, the little pumpkin with several needle holes in his hand felt envious and jealous towards a person. His blood vessels were thin, so the nurse sister struggled several times when she gave him the needles, and finally found the right blood vessels.

"Oh, I just need to get better soon."

He sighed in frustration, and turned to look out the window.

No matter how sad it is when he loses some people, he still has to go on the road to go. He will participate in the Japanese Championships in December, and it is already the end of November, which can be called the important preparation period of the season. It's a good thing, even if you train more in the future, you may not be able to make up for the lost training time.

But as long as he remembered the silver-haired boy standing in the rainy night, crying silently with his head up, he couldn't let it go.

He said softly: "Come out early, the road has to go on."

I don't know whether to say this to Victor, who is not there, or to himself.

After a while, Yuuri took out a pen and paper from his bag, thought for a while, and began to write.

If possible, he would like to do something for that boy, I hope he cheers up earlier.

Victor lived with his mother and grandparents for a few days. The two old people were in a bad state at first, but after all, they were mentally prepared to lose their son. In addition, Andre was not the only child. Get better.

Because the leave from Yakov was limited, he returned to St. Petersburg before the end of the holiday, and his mother stayed with him for a few days before returning to Moscow. It is said that the Vakhtangov Orchestra asked her to return to her home as soon as possible. on post.

Without Andre, life went on as usual. In a trance, Victor thought he was back to the days when his father didn’t reunite with his mother, but his father was still alive. It wasn’t until he had to pay the utility bills for the property that he realized, oh, It turned out that Dad really left.

Yakov was sympathetic to the sudden change in Viktor's family, and he didn't give him too much training in the past few days. He only asked him to adjust his state to avoid poor performance in the Russian Youth Championship.

That's right, when the Russian Youth Championship started, Victor just turned 13 years old, and Yakov was the head coach of the St. In terms of ranking, he will also have a share in the junior championship.

Although Yakov actually didn't expect Viktor to sweep the Quartet for the first time in the youth group event, but he also hoped that his ranking would be better. The debut of the youth group would leave a good impression on the audience. Something like this happened.

Victor also found that his training state was not right, not that he suddenly started crying while skating, no, Viktor Nikiforov is not so delicate, he just couldn't cheer up, and his performance seemed a little weak.

Yakov saw Victor's problem, but he didn't deal with the student's father's bereavement, and now he doesn't care about Victor's mental state, because George's 3A fall is worse than Victor's distraction. It was also tragic, which really made the old coach's brain ache.

He can't scold yet, because the kid scolds more and more convulsions, and the more convulsions the more sluggish. If this continues, he seriously doubts that George will not even make it to the final of the Grand Prix, and then he will be beaten by other players in the Russian Championships, and even the Olympic Games Can't get a place.

In the evening, Victor packed up his things and prepared to go home. He could still see George still slamming his 3A on the ice. He shook his head with a little sympathy, said hello to Yakov, and left.

Then at the gate of the sports center, he saw an unexpected person.

A brown-haired, blue-eyed, tall American, Jimmy Blake, ice dancer, 17 years old, silver medalist in this year's Four Continents Figure Skating Championships, George's underground lover, Victor has met each other twice.

As a silver medalist from four continents, this guy should also be a popular candidate to participate in the Olympics, but he is not training at this time, but came here instead.

The American boy was taken aback when he saw Victor, and raised his hand to say hello.

"Hi, hello, is George still training inside?"

This guy can actually speak Russian. Although the accent is not standard, Victor understands it.

He scratched his head and nodded: "Well, he is here, are you looking for him?"

In other words, who else could he look for if he didn't look for George?

In fact, Jimmy also attended Anatoly's funeral with Grinkov, and presented flowers to Andre's coffin. He even saw Victor several times from a distance, and he naturally recognized that this boy was Jadeite who just passed away. son of a man.

He really wanted to say a word of condolences, but he couldn't help explaining why he knew Andre, so after a few awkward words, he went in to find George.

Victor stood at the door and watched him for a while, thinking that George's vision of finding a lover is much better than that of others in the sports center. At least the other people are breaking up and fighting, but they may not come across the country at such a critical moment. look for him.

But since Katharina Lotriyeva retired due to same-sex marriage, homosexuality seems to have become a taboo among the big goose figure skaters. That guy George definitely has no guts to disclose it to Jimmy, and Victor is not optimistic anyway.

He shook his head and was about to leave when he was stopped by the guard.

Uncle Mikhail waved to Viktor: "Hey, Vikja, there are letters from your fans and gifts."

Victor's eyes widened, and he pointed at himself: "My fan letter? Fan? Am I not mistaken? Could it be another Victor's fan letter..."

The other Victor he mentioned is a pair skater. He and his partner Elaine won the championship in the French Grand Prix this year. His results are outstanding. It is not surprising that there are fans.

As for Victor himself, he's not yet 13, has never played in a televised game, and is completely unknown.

Uncle Mikhail shook his head: "It's not Big Rostov, it's you, little Nikiforov, that child named by name and said that he would give letters and gifts to Victor Nikiforov, congratulations, Vicky, You have fans, but it’s a pity that the child was wearing a mask, dressed like a little bear, and ran away in a hurry after delivering the things, looking very shy.”

Victor took the letter and the small gift box tied with a ribbon in disbelief.

The envelope was clean, without a postmark, and there was nothing pasted where the stamp should have been. Instead, there was a Q version of Hackron, and the words "Received by Mr. Victor Nikiforov" were slender and elegant.

This is the first fan letter Mr. Nikiforov Jr. has received.

He almost couldn't wait to find a bench and sit down, and opened the envelope, which was bulging. There was a piece of letter paper and a tape in it. He first read the letter by the light of the street lamp.

==================

Mr. Victor, Zhanxinjia:

Please forgive me for writing you so suddenly, I hope you are not offended or disturbed by me.

Let me introduce myself, I am pumpkin, an unremarkable figure skater who was a patient of your father, Dr. Andrei.

Two years ago, I suffered from childhood leukemia, which almost killed me. After the domestic treatment failed, my ballet teacher contacted a doctor through her contacts in Russia. Your father, Mr. Andrei.

He is a respectable doctor with superb chemotherapy skills. He brought me back from the brink of death, and after recovery, I fell into a daze.

I love figure skating as much as you do. Before getting sick, I trained at the ice rink in my hometown. I am not good at communicating with people. I am introverted and afraid to talk to people. Sliding on the ice can make me escape from some things. Figure skating The training time is like a utopian dream for me. With the encouragement of the coach, I have also participated in several competitions in the children's group and achieved decent results.

But after experiencing leukemia, I became hesitant. At that time, I was out of breath even after walking for 10 minutes, and I couldn't even stand on the ice. What should I do in the future?If I can't continue to practice figure skating, am I still me?

Just then your father brought me to St. Petersburg.

At that time, he went to Mr. Yakov to talk about something. I was watching my brothers and sisters train by the ice rink. At that time, I noticed Victor. Your skating is really beautiful.

When I saw Victor’s concentration on skating on the ice, I was impressed by Victor almost immediately. You must like figure skating very much. Unlike me who started figure skating just to escape, you are more pure and happy. The mentality of skating is something I admire very much.

I was looking forward to your skating and jumping posture on the ice, and I also got to know figure skating again, so I stayed in Russia, and with the help of Dr. Andrei, I joined the current coach and started training again. Recalling the look on Victor's face when he was skating, I felt like I had power again.

ps: Now I can do the triple axel, thank you very much, please Victor, I will always pay attention to you, I wish the first youth group competition goes well.

And, although Dr. Andrei is usually busy with work, and I have to adapt to Russia, learn Russian and train, so I don't get along with the doctor often, but he is really a very interesting person.

Knowing that Ms. Amy will tell you interesting things about your wedding, this tape might be a good addition.

PS: I was the one in charge of playing the piano accompaniment, but because of your father singing out of tune, I almost played the wrong notes several times, and the rhythm was not accurate enough, but everyone was very happy.

2001. 12, 2

Hope you can be healthy and happy pumpkin, and wish you a happy 13th birthday in advance.

==================

Victor ran all the way home, pulled out the tape recorder and stuffed the tape into it.

The machine started to run and made a few sizzle sounds, the brisk piano sounded, and his father's familiar voice sounded.

Victor sat on the bed, hugged his tape recorder, lowered his head and wiped his eyes, and couldn't help laughing while wiping.

"Dad's singing is really ugly. How did Mom listen to it patiently?"

And really none of the notes are in tune, how did he do it?

Open the carton, inside is a black frosted thermos cup and a blue wool knit thermos cup sleeve, with a thick red string strung around the sleeve, just pull the red string directly after tightening the mouth, which is very convenient.

There is also a greeting card inside, a clean light blue greeting card, Q-version mini dragons, hack dragons, fast dragons, western dragons, oriental dragons drawn with colored pencils... and Victor's zodiac is a dragon!

The slender font reads "Happy birthday to Mr. Victor, the cup sleeve is woven by myself, I hope you don't dislike it."

Victor held the cup holder and looked left and right, grinning heart-shaped mouth: "So it's Miss Pumpkin, she's such a lovely and caring lady."

Those who can knit must be girls!

At this time, Victor always felt that he had heard the name pumpkin somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

The child scratched his head: "Strange, did I forget something?"

In fact, Yuuri went to St. Petersburg for business, and the delivery of the letter was just a matter of passing.

I said before that Andre and Anatoly entered the No.11 field together, and none of them came out alive. In the end, they didn't drive their car out of the cliff by themselves, but were hit by a truck that suddenly rampaged.

This also led to the unsightly faces of the founders of the two organizations. Amy was about to pass out after seeing it. Later, Zhu Ling helped to arrange everything. Amy was only responsible for bringing her son over, hugging him or It's enough that Andre's mother cries together.

By the way, the pens of the two bosses were still usable, and they were finally donated to four blind children.

These two tycoons were also side-to-side during their lifetime, and they cheated countless people in the dead space, and they did two good deeds after their death.

It was not a good time for anyone.

And the matter of the driver who caused the accident was originally ignored, and everyone did not say to pursue it. After all, those who know the truth know that the real cause of death of Anatole and Andre may not be much different from the driver. Instead of pursuing them, it is better to wait. Pointing at God and cursing a few words when entering the dead space is really true.

The driver was not killed, but was seriously injured. He was from St. Petersburg, and the accident happened only when he was driving tired.

Yuuri came here this time to meet the driver, and it was also because the other party actually sent over compensation afterwards, the crumpled wad of money contained the blood and sweat of that middle-aged man, and when he came to deliver the money in a wheelchair, he happened to meet Yuuri I hit it right.

The child didn't say to pick up the money, and drove the person away. After a secret investigation, he found that the driver's family was not easy. His wife died early, and the family had three children to support. The oldest was Ivan, 15 years old, and a middle school student. , the grades are very good, but because of this incident, the father borrowed money and had to pay compensation, so the boy planned to drop out of school and go to work.

The other two are twins, one named Jesse and the other named Jerry, who did not go to school when they were in elementary school. One of the two elderly people in the family has diabetes, and the other has senile dementia and heart disease.

So Yuuri simply ran to St. Petersburg to reject the driver without anyone knowing, and solemnly stated that he really didn't need to pay compensation. When he was leaving, he bumped into an old man in the other's family who had a heart attack, and Yuuri simply called him. Called the ambulance, escorted them all the way to the hospital, took the initiative to advance the medical expenses, and didn't ask anyone to pay them back.

But they stubbornly wanted to pay it back, and even wanted to put the compensation money into his hands.

What a ridiculous thing this is. Anatoly and Andre died, and this poor family clearly heard that they did not need compensation, and could see that they were not short of money, but they still stubbornly wanted to pay it back.

After leaving the hospital, Yuuri found a step and sat down, covering his face and starting to cry.

He shed tears when he saw the remains of Andre and Anatole, and he also shed tears when he attended the funeral, but maybe he was mentally prepared for their death before, so the tears he shed the first few times did not matter. This time it made him feel stuck.

He thought that in this world, it is not only difficult for survivors, there are people who are not survivors but also have a difficult life.

It was also at this moment that Yuuri realized that he was still very sad, and he didn't even know how to face this matter in his heart, as if when he returned to the villa, he could see the old leader calmly waving to him and saying, "Urik, come here, and I'll play a game of chess", as if as long as you dial Andre's number, you can ask him a few more math problems.

After crying for a long time, passers-by began to come over to ask what happened to the child. Yuuri shook his hand, saying that someone in the family was sick, and when he came out to cry, he went back immediately, and then turned around under the sympathetic eyes of the adults Into the hospital building.

Yuuri found the eldest son of the family, chatted with this boy who was a few years older than himself, but whose hands were rougher than Hiroko's mother, and then he persuaded the driver to take back the compensation money.

He subsidized the three children of this family to continue their education, found a good doctor for the elderly, and kept contact information with each other.

Children don't know whether they are helping them or redeeming themselves.

He said softly to the boy named Ivan: "Take care of yourself and your younger brother, as well as your father, grandpa and grandma. If you need any help, please contact me, okay?"

Ivan squatted in front of Yuuri with red eyes, and nodded seriously: "I will take care of them, thank you for your help, Mr. Yurik, and about Mr. Andre and Mr. Anatoly, We are still very sorry, really, I don't know what to say to you, sorry, and thank you..."

Yuuri shook his head: "Don't be like this, really, you guys are doing well, they certainly don't want their own death to make life difficult for others."

"But they lost their lives, and it's our fault."

Ivan lowered his head in confusion, and pulled his hair vigorously. Yuuri stretched out his hand and pressed lightly on his wrist. The young man's fingers numb, and he let go of his hand involuntarily.

Yuuri looked at him and showed a pale smile: "No need, it's best if you live well, and Andryusha and Anatole will be happy to know, they are very good people."

He took a deep breath, took the initiative to grab Ivan's hand and shook it: "Don't be sad, okay? You come out of this matter, we also come out of this matter, everyone should be well, don't be trapped in sadness Let's go, make things difficult for yourself, life will always go on."

"Just keep moving forward and everything will be fine."

Ivan looked at the child, gritted his teeth and held back for a long time, but still cried in front of Yuuri.

His crying was very depressing at first, but then it became more and more intense, like a cub crying, with a heart-piercing expression of venting, Yuuri let him hold his hand tightly, standing There, my heart gradually calmed down.

Ivan's two younger brothers are also here, they looked at Yuuri timidly at first, but now they also leaned over, each hugging the elder brother's arm, weeping.

After that, Yuuri stroked Ivan's hair, patted the heads of the two children, and looked at them peacefully: "It's good to cry, go on strong, and I will go on strong."

After that, under the watchful eyes of Ivan, Jesse, and Jerry, he got on the train back to Moscow, and Ivan kept waving at him.

"Yurik, you have to be good too, please be strong and happy!"

Walking in the dining car, Yuuri was startled, trotted a few steps, and sat in a familiar seat.

Looking at the familiar graffiti on the car wall, Yuuri laughed: "Why is it you again, world champion Victor."

He tapped the graffiti with his finger, thinking, this is probably the magic of fate.

Afterwards, Yuuri specifically brought the ingredients of pickled fish to Amy's house about the matter about Ivan's family, and then told her about it during the meal.

He thinks that Amy must know about this matter, because in the final analysis, it is not he who is qualified to make a decision on this matter, but Amy.

While eating the delicious fish fillets, Amy nodded her head and listened to Yuuri's words. Listening, she looked at Yuuri with the same gaze as an adult.

She doesn't blame Yuuri for his actions, she just thinks maybe there really are angels in this world.

Amy didn't know why in her loneliest and difficult days, fate would let this strong, brave, kind, and worthy child come to her, light up her life, and tell her that her lover still loves her deeply , Let her see hope, let her finally calmly accept the fact that Andre left, and muster up the courage to continue walking.

She looked at Yuuri who was worried and apologetic, looked into his clear eyes, and secretly prayed to God in her heart.

God, let Yuuri live longer, he deserves a long and happy life, really.

The author has something to say:

Later, Victor wrote excitedly in his memoirs, "The biggest lie of the century - the ordinary little pumpkin, no one would believe it. My dear husband actually told such a big lie when he wrote to me for the first time! He lied to me so badly! I thought for two years that pumpkin was nothing special! This cute, kissable little liar balabala..."

Yuuri: I wear skirts, make up, wear earrings and hairpins, pretend to be a soft girl, can cook and knit, but I'm really not a girl.

==================================

Helping Ivan is purely because Yuuri can't bear to watch the family become more difficult because of this car accident. After all, Anatoly and Andrei's car accident was caused by Ivan's father's fatigue driving, or dead space. Clear, but Dead Space will not let Andre and Anatole go anyway, so there is no need for Ivan and the others to suffer more for this.

Little Pumpkin has helped many people, Alexander, Lyudmila, Ivan... Some of them are survivors, some are ordinary people, some are comrades-in-arms who share life and death, and some are strangers who are not familiar with them. Maybe they decide to help Ivan In that moment between them, Yuuri could feel a little bit of how Anatole had felt when he had been allowed into the organization, the sheer kindness he had received.
