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

As soon as the retirement notice was released, Dylan was stunned on the spot again seeing Xiyuan Temple.He waited for 2 minutes, and seeing that Xiyuan Temple had no intention of speaking, Dylan could only stretch out a finger, and poked Xiyuan Temple's forearm tentatively: "Don't you want to say something?"

What else can I say!Xiyuan Temple glared at Dylan.Mr. White felt the sharpness of the knife, and immediately raised his hands in surrender.

"Do you remember that I just won the Olympic gold medal a few hours ago?" Xiyuan Temple asked weakly.

"Remember, you performed so well, how could I forget!" Dylan spread his hands.

"I thought we would meet happily and spend the night happily. Maybe we don't have the energy to do anything bad, but we can also celebrate normally," Xiyuan Temple took a deep breath, "but look at you What heavy topics did you talk to me about!"

Xiyuansi stretched out two fingers and pointed at Dylan, emphasizing: "Doublekill!"

When Dylan heard this, he acted as if he was going to do something bad: "Then why don't we do something to relax."

Unsurprisingly, he was punched to the left shoulder by Xiyuan Temple.Xiyuan Temple was really in a bad mood, so he didn't have much strength left.No matter how thin Xiyuan Temple is compared to Dylan, he is a first-class athlete after all, and his strength should not be underestimated.

Dylan grinned and sat back in his seat.Usually, when the two of them have disagreements, they are mostly resolved through verbal battles, adhering to the principle of a gentleman who uses words but not hands.Unexpectedly, when quarreling can't solve the problem, Xiyuan Temple will be the first one who can't help but get started.

Seeing him rubbing his shoulders pitifully, Xiyuan Temple felt distressed again, so she also leaned forward to rub his shoulders for him.

"That being said, after you said that you plan to break up, you heard about retirement. I even think that the word retirement is more acceptable," Xiyuan Temple slowed down, and continued in a low voice, "You and I both know The current situation. Our knots can be solved after talking, but we can’t solve the obstacles brought by time... Sometimes I also think, how long can I continue to skate like this? I will still Is there another four years? Even just after I got the gold medal, I thought after talking to my family, can I just take a break?"

Retirement is the most difficult word lingering in the mind of every athlete.The skates on their feet have been worn since childhood when they may not even be able to recognize the words, and they have never taken them off until now.Athletes eat youth food, which is far more cruel than film and television actors and entertainment stars.Actors have ways to make their appearance look eternally youthful. They can also rely on the accumulation of time and their own efforts to hone their acting skills. They always have a way to return to the camera.But for athletes, it's very different.

Athletes' standards for judging their age are quite different from those of ordinary people, except for the word cruelty written on their foreheads.Teenagers are the age when they should enjoy the youthful campus life. They are the period when they can produce results. The early twenties are the period when entering the university to broaden their horizons. When they were just about to accept social experience, it meant that there was no such person for them, and they were often called older players by the media.

Their proud skills will continue to lag behind as they grow older, especially for those events that regard high-difficulty technical movements as the focus of scoring.Aging means development, and the body is different from before; it means that the injuries accumulated day by day do not know which day will erupt; it means that the body functions that gradually cannot keep up with the reaction of the brain... this is in a second It is absolutely fatal in the arena where life and death are determined.

Every player who has won the brand and can be named in the world rankings has all shed layers of skin since childhood, and has been worn down step by step until now.Participating in the Olympics and getting an Olympic medal is often the most powerful dividing line, which is what you want in your life.Many people will think about whether to stay or not at this time, and judge whether they can last another four years.

-

Both Xiyuan Temple and Dylan have mixed flavors.Xiyuan Temple knows that this is not Dylan's first four years, and he also knows that some people have already begun to call Dylan, who is less than 25 years old, an older player.Dylan didn't deliberately pick the possibility of retiring with Xiyuan Temple at this time.

"Lancer asked whether to hide it from you first, but I didn't agree. I don't want you to know the news from the news. I won't let you be excluded." Dylan explained.

Xiyuan Temple seemed to be slightly comforted, but he still asked worriedly: "What will happen to the World Championships after that? Will you participate? Are you...willing to go to the ice rink?"

Dylan couldn't give an answer to this question right away.No matter how rational he was in analyzing the situation, he still wasn't emotionally quick to forgive himself for ruining the game.

Xiyuan Temple didn't wait for a reply for a long time, and stopped asking persistently.He hung himself in Dylan's arms like a child.When you don't know how to comfort your lover, a hug is always right.

Xiyuan Temple buried his head and said sullenly: "I will always be with you until you are willing to stand on the field again, even if it is the last time."

The tense gold medal battle and the sudden in-depth conversation consumed too much physical strength and energy of the two.After the conversation, Dylan and Xiyuansi fell asleep almost immediately.Xiyuan Temple only remembered the two of them embracing each other tightly like two little beasts warming each other at the end, and Dylan only remembered that he pressed a kiss on the forehead of Xiyuan Temple who was already asleep at the end.

Xiyuan Temple didn't sleep well all night. The intertwined and complicated dreams and the busy schedule of the next day were a mess in his mind. He woke up and fell asleep when the alarm clock rang.Xiyuan Temple opened his eyes suddenly, and couldn't tell whether he was asleep or not for a moment.He shook Dylan beside him, wanting to call someone up.Although Dylan's grades are not good this time, the interviews he should receive are not too rare.The two agreed to go to the media center together.

Thinking of this, Xiyuan Temple suddenly realized that what caused the deep talk last night, that is, the rumors about their relationship, became the most irrelevant one.

Forced to get up by his professionalism, Dylan washed up in the bathroom, listened to Xiyuansi clean up the house and confessed to him, and explained the whole process of selling himself to his distant cousin.

As a result of the discussion between the "complicated relationship" couple, they still do not deliberately avoid suspicion, but if someone asks, they will not answer "we are just ordinary friends".Now is not a good time to be direct and public, and there is no need to make trouble to the point of appearing to be a stranger.

After rinsing his mouth, Dylan made a positive statement: "I don't want to pretend that I don't know you, doesn't it seem weirder! We had a good relationship before, but suddenly no one cares about each other, how is it possible! This is even more certified Our relationship is not pure!"

"Oh, then you think our relationship is very simple?" Xiyuan Temple asked him with his folded clothes in his arms.

"Yep! We are a pure love relationship with parents who can have in-depth communication!" Dylan exhausted his vocabulary to define.

Xiyuan Temple was indisputable, and gave a thumbs up.

The calculations of the two of them were resounding, but when the group of them arrived at the media center, the two of them showed up together, which still attracted more or less attention.Dylan and Xiyuan Temple were uncomfortable with the occasional glances, but fortunately, their staff were there to remind them.

"Relax, you guys, one is a newly released gold medalist, and the other is a medal contender who has suffered from Waterloo. You two are already extremely newsworthy, so don't take everyone too seriously for gossip." Said Xiyuansi The staff said so.

"After all, everyone is very busy." Dylan's staff added.

Immediately afterwards, the two poor cold staff who told the truth were stared at.

"They made it sound like we wanted to be gossiped."

"They talk like we're all thinking about love."

The gossip male protagonists exchanged the above information in an instant eye contact.

-

The two contestants who were not full of love and love encountered a completely different atmosphere in the interview studio in their home country.

Saiionji spent almost the whole day in the Japanese section of the media center. He went from one cubicle to another, and he felt like a spinning top when he turned around.The questions prepared by the media are roughly the same, nothing more than how do you feel about winning the gold medal, what are your future plans, do you have any opinions on the prospects of figure skating, and the more lively ones are asking how you want to use the prize money, and the upcoming one will be a little easier How to spend a little vacation.

It's a pity that Xiyuan Temple is really not very open in front of the camera. No matter how relaxed the atmosphere is, the interview with him will always become a bit like an open class for technology.Even explaining the regular part of the winning program, he went straight to a very professional direction while talking. Fortunately, his accompanying staff made gestures in time, and Xiyuan Temple forcibly changed his style of painting, allowing himself a little Say something human.

When Xiyuan Temple wandered to the third studio, the host asked questions that had nothing to do with the competition, and talked about things he wanted to do during the holidays, Xiyuan Temple seemed to finally open a crack for himself.

"I used to go back to Kyoto to stay for a long time. When I was about to start training for the new season, I would go to the mountains to find Coach Ono. He always went to the mountains in the off-season to be so clean. This vacation is when I have already After completing the important event of winning the Olympic gold medal, I feel a little different, so I want to go out and have fun. Because of the competition, I have traveled all over the world, but there are very few places where I have really had fun. It’s a pity There will be the idea of ​​going out and having fun for a month on the premise of completing all the work."

Hearing such an expected answer, the host met the director who was holding a reminder board outside the camera, and tentatively asked: "It's really a very attractive idea! Wouldn't it be nice if Xiyuanji-san went on a trip alone? You will feel lonely, after all, it will be more enjoyable if you share your happy mood with close friends!"

Xiyuan Temple blinked, glanced at the staff who became tense in an instant, and his heart really came.Although it was a question that had been rehearsed and answered before, Xiyuan Temple still couldn't help but secretly took a few deep breaths before calming down.

"I have the idea of ​​being with my friends. I may not seem to have a personality that people can get along with, but I still have a few friends. Xiaoyu Yu Youge, who was just promoted this season, is very close to me, and I am not in Canada. How did you go to play. So is Song Liu, China is too big, and it may not be enough for a month if you have fun," Xiyuan Temple paused here, blinking before continuing, "The same is true for the United States, because this season I am familiar with California, and I have no chance to go to other places. If you want to play, you must ask Dylan.”

The host showed a satisfied smile, and followed the timing when Xiyuan Temple spoke first.

At the same time, Dylan was in the American media area, in an atmosphere driven by him that did not look like a serious interview at all, and was also asked similar questions:

"It can be seen from the impact recorded by the footage between previous games, as well as the interaction between the two on SNS. The relationship between the two is really very good, right?"

Xiyuan Temple showed a smile that he rarely appeared in front of the camera, and replied: "I always have a very happy time with Dylan, forgetting stress, irritability, and all unhappy things. He and I It is special, if I have to define it, I would say that we are a relationship that can touch the heart."

Dylan corrected his overly relaxed sitting posture a little, and replied: "I can't guarantee anything else, but Saiyuanji Zeming is definitely the one who can occupy the most unique position in my heart."
