After the big devil retired [competition]

In the lounge of the figure skating training ground at the base of the Beijing Athletes Training Center, athletes of the national figure skating team who have just finished training are resting here.Some came off the ice rink profusely sweating, some drank energy water with their heads up, and some lowered their heads to take off their shoes...

At this time, a young man rushed in with sweat profusely and shouted: "Chen Chensheng has joined the team!"

The news immediately exploded in the lounge.

"Damn! Cow!"

"Chen Chen was promoted this year? Is it too soon?"

"Has Senior Zhou Qi been promoted this year?"

"No."

"Then why did Chen Chen go up?"

"This year Chen Chen won the World Youth Championship, so it's not a surprise that he was promoted."

The figure skating national team is divided into an adult group and a youth group.

Promotion from the youth group requires two conditions, one is age and the other is grades.

Someone put his hips on his hips and said: "I only got it once, and someone got it three times back then and couldn't be promoted to the group!"

The noisy lounge suddenly fell silent, and the discussion of Chen Chensheng's group stopped abruptly.

The World Figure Skating Youth Championship has gathered talented, talented and promising international youth figure skaters, and winning the first place is enough to prove that they are the best among the new generation of figure skaters.

There is a joke in the national team. Two years ago, someone quit the team due to failure in promotion, and that person was the winner of the World Youth Championship for three years.

"That person has gone home, what else is there to say!"

"Three consecutive championships, I have talent, and I have a hot personality."

"It's a distortion. I remember when I lost my temper, even the head coach was pointed at the nose and scolded."

"That's right, I remember that time, I was right there!"

……

The elders in the youth group are discussing enthusiastically.

Li Fangzhi was confused and couldn't figure out what they were discussing. He asked Liu Chang, the senior beside him, in broken Chinese: "Brother Liu Chang, who are they talking about three consecutive championships?"

Li Fangzhi used to live in Canada. Figure skating was originally just a hobby. After returning to China two years ago, he participated in the activities of the Beijing Figure Skating Club. The coaches there thought that he had a good foundation and talent and recommended him to participate in many competitions. Only last year into the national team.

Liu Chang got used to Li Fangzhi's curiosity, and explained eloquently: "A figure skating men's singles player who left the team two years ago is very talented."

"I remember that he seems to have joined the national team in 16. I heard that he went through the back door. He went to the World Youth Championship as soon as he joined the team, and then quit the team because he didn't get promoted."

Li Fang was puzzled: "Why? Can't I be promoted to the group with good grades?"

Liu Chang slowly said: "The issue of quota reduction, the men's singles players of the Chinese figure skating team were not bad at that time. China has always been at the top of the youth competition since a long time ago, but once promoted to the group, it will be completely dead. The most promising It was still during Zhao Jinhong’s period, he was able to win the World Youth Championship consecutively, but he was really unlucky, and when he was promoted, he encountered the rule of the big devil!"

"In the situation where the youth group shines, but then goes downhill after being promoted, the coaching committee is looking for the reason, so they suppress the quota."

Li Fangzhi had a half-knowledge, but still regretted: "Such good grades will one day be promoted, it's a pity to give up like this."

"Hehe, you don't know how arrogant that person is. He's the kind of person who feels that he can't compare with the youth group, so he rushes to be promoted, and looks down on others! He also feels ashamed if he didn't get promoted, right? But our whole team is indeed watching his jokes, he is so heartbroken that he can't take it anymore, so he will go home obediently!" Liu Chang felt very comfortable when he said this, "After he left, the air here is clear!"

Li Fangzhi nodded blankly. He was very happy to see the seniors discussing just now. He was also very interested in this person, and asked, "Brother Liu Chang, what is the name of that senior?"

"Meet."

Li Fangzhi opened his mouth and said in doubt, "Taro?"

"Milk tea?"

Liu Chang: "..."

Li Fangzhi muttered in English for a long time.

Liu Chang was about to pack up and leave, but Li Fangzhi asked again: "Brother Liu Chang, is Senior Xiangyu still skating?"

When Liu Chang was about to answer, a aggressive young man walked up to him. His face was full of angry smoke, and he stared around. He took the skate covers and stuffed them into the cabinet, "Boom!" The closet door slammed with a loud bang.

The discussion in the lounge had been heated just now, but now it was as cold as ice.

He said to Li Fangzhi angrily, "He is studying hard now!"

Li Fangzhi looked at the person in front of him with bright eyes, innocent and pure.

Liu Chang put his index finger on his mouth on the other side, hissing silently.

Everyone in the team knows that you must never mention the word "encounter" in front of Zhou Qi!

Zhou Qi and the athletes who were in the same period when they met were the thorn in the eyes of the whole team, except for one person, that is Zhou Qi.The two have been training together for the longest time, have the best relationship, and are best friends. Zhou Qi absolutely can't bear others to say that they met in front of him.

Zhou Qi turned his head and glared at Liu Chang, then left with anger.

As soon as Zhou Qi left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Study hard? Hahaha, I died from laughing."

"He really doesn't skate anymore?"

"You think it's a pity, don't you?"

"The coach thinks it's a pity. He used to think that he could fight against the big devil in the future."

"Don't mention the Great Demon King, tears are about to come out."

……

The figure skating national teams did not meet each other, but there are still "legends" of encounters.

In October, in the classroom of a key high school in Shanghai, in the last row near the window, a teenager who was sleeping hard heard the bell for the end of get out of class and moved.

"get out of class is over, do you want to wake him up?"

"I dare not..."

"I'm so excited. He used to be the school grass of No. [-] High School, but he actually transferred to our school this year."

"I heard that he used to be an athlete."

"Huh? He's never been to gym class."

"I don't know, I just heard."

"Can he really sleep well in class?"

There was another girl chattering non-stop next to the boy's ear, she didn't move her legs, raised her head impatiently, her hair was messy.

This person is exactly the encounter that Zhou Qi said "study hard".

"Well, so handsome..." "Go, go."

Encounter frowned, and then began to pack her schoolbag.

"Meet." A sweet-looking girl looked at his movements and reminded him, "School is not over yet."

Encounter paused for a moment, without raising his eyelids.

Seeing that Encounter actually ignored Su Xiao, the school belle of their school, the boys thought he deserved to be single, and the girls were all secretly happy.

Su Xiao's face is also a bit ugly, she is still the monitor of the class after all.

"Meet, where are you going?"

"Are you going to skip class? Our school will record it!"

I didn't want to talk to this person when I met him. He transferred to this school for a month and hardly talked to anyone. He slept in class and went home directly after class.

He unzipped his schoolbag, put it on his back, got up, and walked out of the classroom with steps that no relatives recognized.

It was the first time I came to this key high school to skip class. I didn't want to go home, so I had to go to the Internet cafe to suffer.

In the afternoon, there were dozens of missed calls on the phone that I met in my schoolbag.

I was taken aback when I saw it.

It was all from his father and old man, who must know that he skipped class.

"Hello." Encounter hurried back to the past, knowingly asked, "Why are you making so many calls?"

"You're not at school?"

"Well, something happened outside."

"You brat! Are you still skipping class?"

Encounter took the phone away, "Is there something wrong? I'll be right back."

"Don't come back!"

Encounter raised an eyebrow.

He won't be the first to be kicked out of the house for skipping classes...

"I asked you for leave, you go to the airport right now, I'll wait for you there."

Encounter frowned: "Where are you going?"

"Go and relax, you are under a lot of pressure from studying in the third year of high school, go and have fun."

Encounter really wanted to give his dad a big roll of his eyes, he just started school not long ago, and he didn't have any pressure to study at all, with such a lame reason, only his dad could come up with it.

"I do not want to go out."

"No!" The old minister could not refute, "We must go! Come to the airport now!"

The old man was very anxious, he didn't even let him go home, he had to go to the airport immediately, there must be some reason for this.

Encounter's face gradually darkened, he guessed a little bit.

The old man hung up the phone, and his wife Wan Le beat him and complained, "Tell your son well!"

The old man was embarrassed: "He won't listen to you when you say it well."

Wan Le thought for a while and asked, "Are you sure they will arrive today?"

"I am sure!"

Wan Le was worried for a moment, "Then I have to send my son away quickly."

The old man nodded hesitantly.

Since they met back from Beijing two years ago, they have sealed away everything related to skating, including the posters of Mochizuki Yusu, pillows, and Mochizuki Yusu's favorite Totoro dolls.

I will never have anything to do with skating again, this is what Encounter himself said.

Both the husband and wife can see that Yusu Mochizuki's retirement is a great blow to the encounter. Whenever he encounters skating, his emotions will become particularly abnormal.

October is the day when the World Figure Skating Grand Prix is ​​held.

The youth group started a month ago, and it will be the China station soon, and the venue is Shanghai.

The old friend learned that the youth group of the figure skating national team will arrive in Shanghai today.

This is too close, in order to protect the young heart of Encounter, he and his wife immediately decided to send Encounter to travel and come back after the end.

At the airport, Encounter met with the old man. The old man picked up the ticket while dragging the suitcase, and said: "There are no tickets, the fastest flight is going to Okinawa, you can go there first, the hotel I went over there to look for it myself, and there was money on the card. If you don’t think it’s fun anymore, you can book a plane ticket and change places by yourself, but you have to call me and tell me. Also, you have to call your mother every day.”

The old man pushed and met, "Quick, there's a security check over there."

"Old man."

"Huh? Don't you want to go? Don't think about it, your mother insisted on this matter, so go!"

"No, I just want to ask." Encounter touched the suitcase with sharp eyes, "You drove me away, didn't you think about the world of two people?"

"..."

The old man was ashamed and angry: "What are you talking about!"

Encounter shook his head, walked into the security checkpoint, and threw out a sentence.

"Don't be born again, I don't want a younger brother."

"..."
