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

This time, the Japan Open has a particularly strong lineup. Obviously, this is only an entertainment-type exhibition event at best, and it is only one category higher than free skating, but the contestants invited by the organizer are definitely heavyweights.The reason is also easy to understand. When there are more star players, the tickets will be sold easily, the attendance rate will be high, and the small money will come in more. Therefore, JO is not called a "money contest".

Different from the official competition, JO is a team game, divided into three teams in Europe, the United States, and Japan. Each team has two men and two women. It is not limited to active players, so some retired players who love to play will also choose to participate in JO once. a play.

Retired players are here to play, and most of the current players play with the mentality of testing the waters in advance. It is true that JO is an entertainment competition, but the scoring mechanism of this competition is not entertaining at all. The scores given by the referee are still very valuable in terms of reference.

From the moment Xiyuan Temple knew the list of contestants, he complained to the coach: This is simply a preview before the start of the official season!

It's no wonder that he sighed so much, the men's singles and women's singles in the warm-up backstage were completely different.The girls chirped and chirped as they warmed up, assuring themselves that they were taking this opportunity to verify the quality of the show seriously, but not taking it too seriously.The atmosphere on the boy's side suddenly dropped by more than one degree, each of them was on the verge of breaking out, and wished he could directly draw the top of the pyramid to his feet on JO.

Brison, a retired American player with only one seedling fooling around in the coaching staff, expresses this emotion: "Falcons from France, rabbits from Russia, Kiyotake from Japan, and a flower from the United States. This Open is really good. It started, they started The free skating of the four will be the first to take the lead."

Ono Matsuhei, who was going to have a tea party in the background with other coaches, directly contributed a box of delicately packaged refreshment gift boxes: "I will definitely bet on my family. If he loses, I will not eat this dessert! This is what I paid a lot of money for. It’s handmade, it’s the first time I’ve eaten it!”

"I'm betting on Dylan," Coach Lancer flipped through a handful of small wrapped chocolates from his backpack, "It was originally for my girlfriend to eat and play."

Harvey Coulson, the coach of the French player Weil, clicked his tongue when he saw this: "You foodies, do you have anything else to do besides eating? I bet on Xiyuan Temple. If he ranks first among the four, I will You can open a green channel for him."

When Ono Matsuhei heard this, he felt like he was facing a big enemy: "Colson, you are disrespectful! Put your dangerous thoughts away! My apprentice will not transfer to another group!"

Coach Harvey retorted: "Did I tell you he was going to transfer to another group? No! It's obviously because you are not good enough that you have such worries! Zeming contacted me before and said that he is interested in the children in my club. Go watch training!"

"Take us!" Coach Lancer raised his little hand.

"I don't bring it. You borrowed me [-] gold coins in the game last year and haven't returned it to me yet." Coach Harvey refused cruelly.

The coaches of the team competition don’t have to sit with them and wait for their seats, and the coaches of the entertainment competition don’t have to stand on the sidelines with a serious face and worry about the eyeballs. The three brothers really don’t move their nests anymore. They just chat in the backstage while watching the big LCD screen live broadcast.

The staff was calling the players to lead the team uniforms, and then Brison stood up from the coaches.

"I'm going to take care of the cubs for you!"

"Don't be abused by our children~" Ono waved at him.

On the player's side, Dylan saw Xiyuan Temple rushing towards the staff, so he raised his foot and walked over there, and happened to get the team uniform with him side by side.Dylan unpacked the plastic bag and put a batch of red patterned coats on his shoulders, followed Xiyuan Temple and withdrew.

Xiyuan Temple is not as careless as Dylan.He unpacked the package, and the Japanese team's clothes were blue patterned.Xiyuan Temple shook the clothes again and again, letting the smell of the new clothes dissipate enough before he unzipped it and put it on. Costen.

The two of them haven't had much contact since the holidays. When they think of it, they say a few words on Facebook. When they get busy, they simply don't hear from each other for a few days.The end of the holiday means the beginning of training. Every athlete will not take their training seriously. Before training and competition, everything can go wrong. This is their consensus.So even if Dylan already understood the other party's mind when he said goodbye at the airport, he would never do stalking during training.In addition, both of them were in the period when they could achieve the most results, and their identities as competitors also made it difficult for them to communicate too much in private.

However, we haven't seen each other for several months, so it's completely reasonable to have a few chats to quench our thirst.

"The new clothes look good," Dylan pointed at him, "especially the feeling of traveling through time and space."

Although the tactics and techniques are not good and there is communication in advance, it doesn't matter when it comes to song selection.Xiyuan Temple had already told Dylan the selection of songs for the new season, and Dylan also watched the movie in advance to make up lessons.

"Why did you remember that you chose Romeo and Juliet? It's still the musical version." Xiyuan Temple's eyes fell on Dylan's blue clothes.The red-blue hues of French Romeo y Julieta are definitely the most iconic.

"You have to give me a channel to vent my emotions." Dylan took the opportunity to tease.

"Then you have to finish this program well, and you have to be worthy of me." Xiyuan Temple did not hide or avoid, but joined the army instead.

The staff called everyone to enter the arena, and they both turned around to say hello to the coach to signal that they were going to leave, and then got a smirk from the coaches and waved them off.

"Your coach laughs so hard." Dylan complained in a low voice.

"Maybe he thinks you'll bully me."

"Then how can it be? It's so unfair! I can't wait to cheer for you every day, our Zeming-chan is the best! Apart from being mine, the champion can only be Zeming-chan's!"

"Then do you consider letting me in? Entertainment competition, don't be serious." Xiyuan Temple asked him deliberately.

"That's not possible, the entertainment competition is also a good comparison," Dylan corrected his attitude instantly, but in the next second he put on a tone that everything is negotiable, "But for the game part of the second session, I can still give it to you." You let the water go!"

After the first round of free skating competition, it is the second part of the game part.Fancy obstacle relay, short-track racing, and math problems after the joint spin, the organizers had a great idea and brought all the post-match playfulness of the contestants to the surface.

"It's so boring to make a game and ask you to release water!" Xiyuan Temple originally didn't plan to play seriously in the second session, but now he was aroused by Dylan's words.There was nothing alarming on his face, but the little comet in his heart was about to move.

Xiyuan Temple and Dylan were whispering in front, and behind them were other players in the team.Brison watched the backs of the two whispering and getting closer, and grabbed the Japanese men's singles player who retired at the same time as him, and said, "Why don't we get married?"

They gave him a terrified expression.

JapanOpen is a very popular event in Japan. The huge venue in Yokohama is full of seats. After all, it is a bargain to see players of this level at such a price.

The season hadn't officially started yet, the players hadn't had a break-in period with the new program, and their performance levels were average.However, the players used this opportunity to find problems and adjust in time. It is better to have problems at this time than to lose completely during the official competition, so the players themselves and the coaches are in a good mood.The audience's mentality is better, the excitement is paramount, and the sense of superiority of being able to see the new program before others is enough for them to enjoy it.

However, the men's singles competition still gave them enough tension.Veil avoided 4A, which put him very close to Xiyuan Temple and Dylan.Of course, if you only watch the programs of the three of them, Xiyuan Temple is the winner in the end.

Both the referees and the audience liked his program very much. As soon as the iconic crisp notes of "Your Name" came out, the atmosphere in the audience was visibly excited.Although the quality of the completion is still far from the peak state of Xiyuan Temple, it can be regarded as worth the fare.

After the free skating competition, the US team took the lead, followed by Japan, and Europe had a chance to counterattack.

The game session was definitely full of excitement, with constant laughter and chaos.For the three games, the contestants and participating projects shall be agreed upon by themselves.Dylan and Xiyuan Temple represented their own teams in short track racing, and the Russian men's singles team was pushed out to compare their skating speed pitifully with them.

The skates for figure skating and the skates for short track speed skating are completely different equipments. Everyone just wants to have fun. Skate a lap in a pretentious manner, go through two big bends, and skate two straights. Line up.

Dilan and Xiyuansi started at an extremely fast speed, far away from the big goose and little cute, halfway through a straight road, and when they approached the curve, Dilan relied on his stronger leg muscles from usual training to step on the ice more quickly. With strength, half of Xiyuan Temple was thrown out.Seeing that they were about to turn a corner, they imitated the short-track cornering posture and leaned forward to keep their balance on the ground.Dilan wanted to slow down on the next straight to let Xiyuan Temple take a step, but he didn't expect that Xiyuan Temple would get up and speed up to pass Dylan before turning the corner.Dylan was taken aback. He visibly swayed when he saw someone slipping to his side. He subconsciously raised his hand to help him, but failed to help him. Xiyuansi stabilized his body without any danger and won the first place went.

After the game was over, the two of them sat in the team viewing seats, and Brison came over to Dylan and said, "Are you...?"

"No." Dylan knew that the less people he wanted to know about Xiyuan Temple, the better.

"Impossible, do you know the look in your eyes when you look at him? When you play games, you have to reach out to help people when you turn a corner. And look at the uniforms of our two teams, red and blue since ancient times... .”

Before Brison finished speaking, he met Xiyuanji's eyes.Xiyuan Temple happened to be sitting not far away, and heard Brison talking nonsense.

Brison was stunned by Xiyuan Temple's seemingly plain but hidden eyes of countless small knives. Before he finished speaking, he turned a corner directly: "Red and blue come out of purple, purple hahaha, red plus Blue to purple..."

Dylan was sitting with his back to Xiyuan Temple and facing Brison. He didn't know that his broken-mouthed senior was warned by another party's eyes.Dylan also disliked others and said: "Why are you crazy?"

Brixen was as quiet as a chicken.

At the end of the process, Dylan looked at the time, and wanted to drag Xiyuan Temple to say a few more words, but he didn't expect this person to go through the crowd, and disappeared like a loach.

"What's the hurry, you run so fast." Dylan muttered.

Of course Xiyuan Temple is in a hurry, he is also in a hurry to meet netizens privately!He hurried back to the rest area, asked Coach Ono to take his bag, changed his clothes, checked the time, and found that it was still early at 05:30, this time he relaxed and dragged a stool over to sit down, and posted on Twitter send Message.

Kobayashi: Dark green windbreaker, black baseball cap, black pants, black backpack, blue pendant.

Poseidon: There is a huge embroidered pattern on the back of the white coat, jeans, black-rimmed glasses, no backpack.

Kobayashi: Do you want to set a password for the connection?

Poseidon: Up to you.

Kobayashi: Grandpa the gatekeeper.

Poseidon: An ordinary little fan.

Kobayashi: You are really on the right track.

Poseidon: I'm at the billboard, where are you?

Kobayashi: I'll do it right away!

The road from the backstage of the venue to the exit of the main entrance is not too far, but when Xiyuan Temple walked this road, the thoughts in his mind couldn't stop coming out.

Judging from the time difference of the usual chat, he should be an American.Will it be blonde hair?Will he be tall?Will he look ugly and really be an uncle?Why did you suddenly want to face the base?What if it's a liar.No, after understanding, he doesn't look like a bad guy, and his understanding of figure skating is also very professional.But what if he is really an insider?I told him so many weird things, what should I do if I shake them all out...

To meet an acquaintance and stranger with whom we can chat and get along happily is both novel and nervous for Xiyuanji.As an athlete, it is not right for him to take the initiative to meet new friends, let alone through such an unorthodox way.

Xiyuan Temple walked forward with a dull head, and he even quickly made several plans.Take a sneak peek first, then go if you like it, and run if you don’t like it.If it's pleasing to the eye, go to eat and find a cafe to sit.If he is a good person, it will be easy to handle. If he is really a bad person, then he has to find a way to send a distress message to the coach.

This is probably the most complicated thought in his head, Xiyuan Temple thought so.

He stood at a place where he could see the billboard clearly, and there was really a foreigner in a white coat and jeans standing there.But the distance is not close, only one outline can be seen clearly.Looking at this figure, Xiyuan Temple felt that he didn't have the feeling of turning around and wanting to run, so he quickened his pace and walked forward.

But what he didn't expect was that the further he walked, the more familiar this figure gave him, and the more doubts in his heart.

Xiyuan Temple finally arrived at the appointed place. Standing behind Poseidon, he even felt that this height difference was very familiar.

"Master the gatekeeper?" He hesitated to say what they used to call when they chatted.

"Ah, ordinary little fan!" The man heard the signal, before turning his head, the voice came out first.

Hearing this voice, Xiyuan Temple took a few steps back holding the strap of his backpack, he wanted to turn around and ran away.

"Xiaolin... oh? Zeming-chan, it's you? What a coincidence, I can meet you this way!"

Dylan White turned around, surprised and ecstatic.

The author has something to say:

Congratulations!

Hahaha! !

PS: The setting of JO is privately set, there are too few materials, and there are not many videos. It gives me the feeling that it is half commercial performance and half competition.After all, everyone watching the video is to watch the new program released in advance.
