It's better to fall in love with an old enemy

The month between the end of the Four Continents Competition and the start of the World Championships has passed in the blink of an eye.Xiyuan Temple is tightly scheduled by the training schedule every day, including core strength, jumping and gliding training when going on the ice, as well as two or three physical classes a week, plus imagery exercises that I will do by myself during the rest time.This day was so full that he didn't even have the concept of dates. Only Ono Matsuhei would remind him from time to time how many days were left until the World Championships.

It wasn't until the day when he flew to the eastern part of the United States to participate in the competition that Xiyuan Temple sat on the plane and finally had time to temporarily withdraw himself from the tense and fast-paced state.In recent years, some international long-duration flights have allowed the use of wireless networks.After the plane entered the level flight stage, the flight attendant broadcasted a reminder that the WIFI network could be used.Xiyuan Temple took advantage of this time to turn on the phone, climbed up to the "Xiaolin" account that hadn't posted an original blog post for a long time, and looked at it.

Teacher Kobayashi's "work and rest time" is always the opposite of that of the big team.During the season, the fans are carnival every week, but Mr. Xiaolin seldom comes up to bubbling, at most, he retweets several posts in a row in one time period, and writes a comment or two of his own; at the end of the season, fans swipe Back in the cold palace, I can only pick food from the cracks every day, but Mr. Xiaolin basically finds an active top player every two or three days, or a former god-level player to analyze it in detail.

Xiyuan Temple retweeted a few small videos made by fans to analyze the players' programs this season, and then continued to browse the homepage.Fans, big and small, were all singing and dancing, chattering and guessing how the script for the World Championships would be written.

Technical fans wrote a data report based on the sub-tables of several popular players this season, thinking that Axel's quadruple jump this season is a watershed, and that Veil and Song Liu, who are masters of 4A, can get a positive GOE bonus once they jump out. This jump of points will leave other players far behind.If not, the three players behind them are Dylan, Xiaocheng and Xiyuansi.

Fans of the program blew crazy rainbow farts at the artistic expression and content of the program.The hysteria concealed under the appearance of Monk Weil, the Western-style artist temperament of Dylan in a suit and baton, the arrogance of Xiao Cheng, the elegance of Xiyuan Temple, and the affectionate styles of Song Liu combined with Western and Chinese charm .All of these fans can't put it down.

There are also fans from the theater and dance circles who come to join in the fun. These people's eyes are darkened, and they like whoever skates their favorite show.

This season, true and false figure skating fans, inside and outside, are quite enthusiastic about the World Championships. They simply voted. Four bloggers, four events, three votes per person, voted for what they thought was the future. three.

This was originally voted by the fans themselves, and they all knew that the masters were busy training and preparing for the competition, even those players who were experienced netizens would not know about this kind of thing.But what they don't know is that some people have trumpets.For example, Xiyuan Temple, he is a big fan who has penetrated into the fan circle.

Wan Fan also swiped into this voting event at the moment, but he didn't care, after all, it was just for fans' self-entertainment.

However, after a while, he clicked on the poll again.

Moreover, he opened it from Poseidon's homepage.

Xiyuan Temple flipped through the Twitter homepage, and suddenly remembered that his "tree hole" Poseidon seemed to have disappeared.The communication between the two of them only stayed at the one about "The Moon and Sixpence" almost two months ago.Xiyuan Temple clicked on Poseidon's homepage, wanting to check his updates, but he didn't expect that his latest post was posted the day before.

Not original.

It's the automatic sharing of that fan voting event.

Twitter’s voting activity is quite hooligan. Even if you don’t participate, you can click in to see who your mutual friends voted for.

Xiyuan Temple really clicked in to see it. He was really curious and had a little expectation.

Of course, if someone really asked him about this, he would definitely not want to admit that he was looking forward to it.

Seeing the results of Poseidon's vote, Xiyuan Temple was a little shocked and a little bit happy.

Poseidon is really an unusual person. He chose Dilan, Xiyuansi, and Xiaocheng, and he didn't give the two 4A technology giant score owners any attention.

Seeing the result, Xiyuan Temple couldn't hold back his eager little hands.He didn't go to vote, he ran to poke Poseidon's private chat, regardless of whether he was online or not.

Kobayashi: Why don't you give 4A a little face at all!

Of course, people who are not online cannot reply to him.

Xiyuan Temple didn't intend to wait for the other party's reply either.He turned off his phone again, laid the seat flat, and prepared to sleep through the ten-hour long flight.

The coaching staff gave Xiyuan Temple a day to adjust the time difference. On the day he arrived in Washington, he did not close his eyes for a whole day. At night, he forced to fall asleep according to American time, and abruptly adjusted the time difference.

However, when he went to the competition venue for private adaptation training, he was still a little dizzy.Training is grouped by world ranking, and the podium contenders are of course grouped together.The organizers created a large space in the backstage of the venue to warm up the players.When Xiyuan Temple dragged his suitcase into the backstage, someone was already warming up.

The man was jogging around the field, just passing the curve, and he could see the entrance of the stage by turning his face slightly. He heard the sound of the rollers of the box sliding across the ground. When he looked up, he collided with Xiyuan Temple who had just entered. On sight.

Dylan White nodded to Xiyuan Temple and Coach Ono, even as a greeting, he didn't stop, and continued to run.

At the moment when he met Dylan's eyes, Xiyuan Temple suddenly had an illusion as if he had passed away. Only then did he realize that the last time they saw each other for real was already at the time of the grand prix finals up.From the end of December to the middle of March, there has been an interval of three months.It's like meeting a new stranger again.

It seems that Dylan is really different from what he saw in the finals.Xiyuan Temple took a visual inspection through the sportswear. The muscles must have been carefully trained again. It looks a little thinner, but it is still the shape of a strong athlete.His hair has grown a lot. The short blond hair that was neatly cut at the beginning of the season can be tied up behind his head by the end of the season. The broken hair on his forehead is still moving with the rhythm of running.

Xiyuan Temple actually doesn't like to see men with long hair, especially to the extent that it can be tied up.But Dylan's appearance unexpectedly didn't hit his thunder point, and even had more temperament of a prodigal artist, which looked very novel.

In general, Dylan is indeed different from the beginning of the season, a bit like a different person.However, Xiyuan Temple hadn't realized where the big changes had taken place, but Ono Matsuhei started to blah.

"Oh, the atmosphere of the World Championships is really different. The players all look like they are under a lot of pressure. Look at it, Dylan White can't laugh like a little sun when he sees everyone Woolen cloth."

Only then did Xiyuan Temple realize what was missing from Dylan.What Coach Ono said was right, Little Sun, who was always happy in the past and didn't take anything to heart, unexpectedly looked serious this time.

Xiyuan Temple remembered the bet they made, the bet that whoever got the most dolls in the end would invite the other party to play in their own country for a few days during the off-season.This bet was actually a joke, and both of them knew it in their hearts.However, they were all determined to compete in the World Championships, so it was no joke.

The opponents are so serious, and I have to quickly adjust my state.Xiyuan Temple quickly took a seat with the coach, stretched a few times briefly, and started jogging after Dylan to wake up his body.

During practice on the ice, Xiyuan Temple seized the time to confirm the state of each quadruple jump of the program.Ice jumps and blade jumps feel different on different ice surfaces, and he needs to constantly adjust his composition according to his performance on the competition field.At the same time, he is also paying attention to the joint music and practice status of other players.

It seems that Xiaocheng is going to jump with difficulty of 4Lz3Lo in the free skating.Both Song Liu and Veil only practiced 4A once. Although they both landed on the ice successfully, Song Liu's feet were still a bit dirty.Dylan's jump is the most stable in this group, but the basic score of just watching the program is not very high.

While leaning on the baffle to sip a sports drink, Xiyuanji was making small calculations in his head, calculating where his two programs were and where he could make finer details.

What is the posture of the arm during rotation and footwork, where is the position of the floating leg? Can you be faster... These small details that are not worth mentioning, once done, may become bonus points.

In the figure skating competition, it is no longer a point but a point, and a fraction of a point determines the outcome.

The final practice time always passed quickly, and the players filed off.When the broadcast announced the end of practice, Xiyuan Temple happened to be on the side farthest from the exit, and when he slid over, he was already the last one.Dylan happened to be on the edge of the small door of the fender and was about to put on the knife sheath. He heard the sound of skates scraping across the ice behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw Xiyuan Temple slightly accelerating towards this side.

Xiyuan Temple was approaching the wicket and did not slow down too much.Dylan knew that he would not be able to fall at such a speed, but he still stretched out his hand to pad his arm when he stopped.Xiyuan Temple was not polite to him this time, thanked him, and started to put on a knife cover on one leg with the help of Dylan supporting his arm.

After changing the knife case, the two went to the backstage side by side. After entering the backstage, the curtain was lowered, and Dylan finally spoke to Xiyuan Temple for the first time since meeting: "Do you remember the bet?"

"Remember," Xiyuan Temple replied, and then he thought for two seconds before adding, "I want to add one more."

"what?"

"If I beat you, I can take you to play in Japan, but you cut your little dick."

"Why? Doesn't long hair look good?"

Xiyuan Temple thought about it again, and swallowed the sentence "I don't like boys with long hair" that was on the verge of his mouth, and changed his words: "Your short hair at the beginning of the season is more handsome."

"That's all right, just cut your hair. Will you cut it for me?"

"Okay, I'll cut it for you."

"Wow, I can't do it, beauty, your bet is so attractive, I want to let it go." Just as Dylan finished speaking, Xiyuan Temple hadn't made a statement yet, but Coach Lancer glared at him first. .

"Just kidding, kidding, this is the World Championships," Dylan stretched out his fist and stopped in front of him, "Whether you bet or not, go all out."

Xiyuan Temple raised his hand and touched his fist face: "Go all out and never let go."
