wipe the ice and fire

Du Qingshao was surprised when he received the design draft of Costeng for the new season.The short program matches the song Little Lion King, with brown as the main tone, deep V-neck on the back and flesh-colored lining, and a seemingly furry tassel design from the upper arm to the shoulder blade.These "little feathers" will open with the axis when doing rotations, which is a cool shape when you think about it.

Even the free skating costumes have been redesigned, borrowing elements of lantern sleeves and epaulets from European men's clothing in the 18th century, and a gorgeous brocade on the back connecting the shoulders. The main colors of black, white and gray set off Beethoven's mood at that time , simple yet extravagant.

Zoom in on the design draft, and you can see all kinds of small rhinestones on it.Even if Du Qingshao has no artistic accomplishment, his basic aesthetics are still online.Holding the manuscript and looking left and right, my mind is full of the beautiful scene of myself in a gorgeous dress, swinging my legs and throwing wink on the ice rink.

In an instant, he felt that he had won at the starting line, and held the tablet and jumped on the spot: "Our ice association is so good this year? Or do you think I am handsome and skilled, and I am the key training object?"

Ye Feihong smiled and said: "You may not believe it, but Mr. Waris asked a friend to help you design it. He mentioned it to me before he left, and specifically asked me not to tell you in advance."

Xiao Du, who was out of his mind, remembered his choreographer teacher who was far away on the other side of the Eurasian continent, frowned and coughed: "It turned out that he helped me design it, so it's just, that's it, and I don't have to rely on it." My handsome face holds up half the sky."

Ye Feihong laughed again when he heard the words, knowing that he was already in high spirits, the next day he took him to find the club's cooperative design factory to measure his body data, and handed over the manuscript to them to start production.On the way back, I did not forget to remind him to send a message and say thank you to the teacher.

Instructed by Du Qingshao, he left a message for Luo Ming before training in the afternoon.The daylight saving time in Paris is six hours earlier than that in Beijing, and it is estimated that it is the time to wake up in the morning.After sending the message, he threw the phone aside and started training.

The exhortation before he left was still useful. After returning to the dormitory at night, he received a reply from Luo Ming as he wished, which roughly meant that as long as you like it, you are welcome.He stared and thought for a moment, and felt that he should reply, but he couldn't hold back any words, so he threw an emoji over.

Du: Consensus reached.JPG

A few minutes later, Luo Ming replied: It seems that you really like these two sets of clothes.Originally, I wanted to add a feather design, but I was afraid that you would tear off the fur again, so I finally avoided it.All in all good luck for the new season/smile/smile

The other party sent a string of English, and the first thing he noticed were those two vicious smiling faces.After the automatic translation of the dialogue box was completed, and then looking back, Du Qingshao almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Those two blessed smiles instantly became more mocking.

He cursed harshly, replied Thankyousoooooosuch, and then swiped "/smile" all over the screen.The chat between the two language masters ended here.

Dozens of people in the factory rushed to work at the same time, and within a month, they completed the customization of two sets of Kausten.Figure skating uniforms are generally made of relatively light and breathable fabrics. The physical feel is infinitely more delicate than the feeling of looking at photos, and there are also bulingbuling glittering sequins and small rhinestones.Du Qingshao became more and more pleasing to the eye, and he also forgot that Luo Ming teased him about losing hair in the competition last year. When no one was around after training at night, he took two Costengs to the dance classroom and admired them carefully. Fan.

……

So player Du Qingshao was once again defeated in the siege of six of his kind, and left the field sadly.Of course, he would not worry about these small episodes at all, and looked at himself in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, returned to the dormitory contentedly, carefully replaced Kausten and hung it in the closet, subconsciously looked at the calendar before going to sleep .

On August [-]th, there were less than two months left before the start of the grand prix.

Although the atmosphere in the group is relaxed, in fact the relaxed moment may really only be a moment.

As time progressed, his state was also gradually adjusted, and his ambition of playing games until the early hours of the offseason was quickly stopped.No matter how tired I am after training every day, I will ask for the video recorded during the recent practice, sit at the desk and watch it several times, analyze the problem and improve the direction, and then go to bed and get up strictly according to the schedule.This is the final bottom line he set for himself—since he has learned, he must do his best, and he will never show the half-finished product in front of others.

After observing Ye Feihong for a month, he couldn't help but look at him with admiration, and even complimented everyone he met.

When athletes step onto the field, they will inevitably be classified into different categories.In fact, the same is true for coaches. If they fail to teach good players, they fail.Before he retired, his grades were pretty good. Now that he has been a coach for more than ten years, his vision is even more vicious.Judging from the current situation, this 17-year-old kid who is still in the rebellious period is much more at ease than he imagined.

Soon it will be the day of in-team testing.A total of three days, the first is the traditional project - physical fitness, reaction and some muscle strength tests.In the afternoon, Pan Lishu took them to a designated hospital for a physical examination.

The next two days are quizzes for the two programs.The team adopts the usual method of open games to the outside world, and announced the arrangement to ice fans in advance as their first public and complete display.

First was the short program, and Du Qingshao was drawn fourth.The attendance rate that day was not very high, only about half of the people sat.And from the toys in their hands, it can be seen that most of them came to see Qi Yue and Ma Jiabo.

As a sport that has a deep relationship with ballet, figure skating also pays attention to etiquette, and the audience will express their love and gratitude to the athletes in a unique way.Probably because the players are generally young, they gradually formed the habit of throwing flowers or plush toys on the field.

Qi Yue once said that her favorite fruit is oranges, and her English name is also juice. In addition to her excellent performance in the past few years, there are already many ice fans in the auditorium carrying orange pillows, ready to give her a gift. "Orange Rain".The same is true for Ma Jiabo. As the current top men's singles in China, at the age of 26, he still sticks to his post and strives for a place in the team competition. He has also won the respect and love of the majority of ice fans. Every time the competition ends, he can harvest a bunch of cute ponies.

Du Qingshao was miserable, not because he had no fans, but because fans didn't know what to throw at him.After winning silver in the World Youth Championship, he gained some popularity in the domestic skating circle.Fans eagerly asked him what he likes besides skating, but he said Maodu hot pot.

My mother is from Chongshi, so I lived there for a period of time when I was a child. I was obsessed with hot pot and barbecue all day long. I ate it when I was unhappy, and I also ate it when I was happy.It's a pity that after becoming an athlete, my dear Maodu Hot Pot just said goodbye to him because he was worried about the additives in the unknown meat.Du Qingshao was heartbroken by this and told everyone about it.

The fans felt distressed and funny after hearing this, but what can they do? They can't wait for the game to end and throw a self-heating hot pot on the ice rink to feed the cubs.So he asked what other hobbies he had. Du Qingshao thought "seriously" for a few seconds and gave a wiser answer - writing math problems.

As soon as this remark came out, the ice fans suddenly felt that they seemed to be addicted to something not simple, and they all joked: Do you want Wusan or Wang Houxiong's full set of teaching aids?Or sub-motif and Huanggang dense scrolls are also available, let the people of the world see the strong combat effectiveness of our country's high school students.

Of course it’s just a joke, no matter what the ice fans throw away, Du Qingshao will thankfully put it in the big plastic box in the dormitory, and donate it to the orphanage when the money is saved.

His thoughts were brought back by the mournful Jiu'er on the field.It was Qi Yue's short program this season, the ending song of the TV series Red Sorghum, a purely Chinese style song.

The desolate and long high-pitched voice sounded again, and her performance came to an end. The classic swallow posture was paired with a red dress, and the hem of the skirt fluttered in all directions, as if a blazing sorghum field had really been laid out on the white ice rink. , going to the distance without sorrow or complaint...

At the end of the song, the field was quiet for several seconds before the applause broke the silence, and the familiar orange pillows swayed like rain.She bowed gracefully and leaned over to pick up the gifts from ice fans.The side of the court was almost dyed orange by the pillows. Seeing that she was too busy, Du Qingshao came in to help tidy up.After the ice is cleared, they stay on the field and prepare for their short program performances.

In the words of the coach, this game is to find the status.For those who can appear on the international stage, the technical level will not be very different, and it is more to see the performance on the spot.He is not rich in competition experience, and he treats every training session as a competition.

Even though he has practiced countless times, he was still nervous for the first time. Before the game started, his heart was beating hard, and even the muscles in his back collapsed and ached slightly.

The difficulty of short program arrangement is at the upper-middle level, and the opening is the back-inside ice jump (4F) with a high success rate in normal training.As a result, the timing of entering the first jump was not determined correctly, and my heart trembled unexpectedly before the jump, and it took two weeks to be empty.It wasn't until two consecutive rotations were made in the middle that the body relaxed a little.

The second half was done well, the two jumps made no mistakes, but they were also unremarkable.But at the end of the performance, ice fans in the stands threw a lot of flowers, and he buried himself in cleaning up the venue and walked out without saying a word.

Then there will be the main men's singles match between Ma Jiabo and Song Tanghao.He stood in the corridor and watched from a distance, then lowered his head and began to reflect on the problems that occurred in the program just now.

Putting on the earphones, he quickly calmed down, and he could roughly recall the state of mind and feelings when he entered each movement, and with the swing of his body, he bounced around in a small space and indulged himself.

"So serious." Suddenly someone patted his shoulder from behind, he turned his head to see his senior brother Ma Jiabo with beads of sweat on his face, took off his earphones and hummed in a muffled voice.

"You watched your short program, and the overall completion is still very good, but you were too nervous at the beginning." He leaned against the wall and encouraged with a smile.

Du Qingshao curled his lips, and did not show any relief because of his encouragement. He analyzed objectively: "What I lack is the ability to calm down quickly. There is too little time for short programs, and I am not allowed to adjust my state on the spot."

"Then next time, maybe you can do the rotation at the beginning, won't it be easier?" the other party joked.Du Qingshao squinted his eyes to make up for the effect of the program as he said, as if he had eaten strange food, and frowned in disgust.

The training ground just broadcasted that Song Tanghao was on the field.Ma Jiabo glanced at it, as if he wanted to go there, but just as he took a step, his body suddenly tilted as if he was caught by something.

Du Qingshao quickly supported him, heard him take a breath, and asked in a low voice, "Is your knee still hurting?"

"Yes." He answered very frankly, leaning on the wall to stand firm, and looked at it quietly for a moment, "Xiao Du, I have something... I think it's time to tell you."

"This season is over, and I may not even be able to last. I really have reached the age to retire. You and Song Tanghao..." He paused for a few seconds at this point, "I think you should understand your situation and ability. The team competition may have to be carried by you alone for two years."

In fact, after hearing the first sentence he said, Du Qingshao guessed the following, and stood beside him quietly, more serious than in class.

Margabo was nine years older than him.He has just emerged in China, and it is the highlight moment of Ma Jiabo's athletic career.He grew up watching him be active in various international competitions, with ups and downs all the way.Such an idol-like existence is standing in front of him now, solemnly explaining something.

For a moment he didn't know how to respond.

Ice and snow sports are not a public event in the first place, and the venue, equipment and money alone will turn away many people.People in many cities in the south have never even seen an ice rink, and basically rely on the three eastern provinces to export athletes.At present, the domestic men's singles is very disconnected. Ma Jiabo insisted on staying until the age of 26 because of the lack of success. He was also promoted a year earlier for the same reason-he knew what he had to shoulder and who the future stage belonged to.

"I know this sentence even if you don't say it." Du Qingshao's voice was calmer than ever.The sensor light suddenly dimmed, and the night light from the window shone through the cramped and dark corridor.When he looked up again, the ignorance and uneasiness just now disappeared, and a trace of unshakable sharpness flashed in his pitch-black eyes.

"Don't worry, I've never let you down in skating."
