wipe the ice and fire

The housekeeper was surprised by the change in Luo Ming's attitude, but he didn't explain too much. He took a shower after returning home, changed into a short suit the next day, and went out refreshed.

The men's singles match is scheduled for the afternoon.The sun broke through the clouds after a long time, and the moment he went out, he couldn't open his eyes, and his thoughts were also in a trance.

Time flies, and it has been a year since I bid farewell to the stage.He used this time to do many things: he flew to the other side of the mainland to choreograph two dances for that little boy, and after returning to China, he participated in the choreography work and successfully put Shakespeare's works on the ballet stage.

But after doing so much, Luo Ming still couldn't get his life back on track.The scars carved into his heart were still fresh, dazzling and vivid, like bright white with high gloss, piercing him so hard that he couldn't recall.

A dancer who cannot perform on stage is like a fish stranded on the shore.Even if he has the ability, he will eventually be buried in the mediocre land under his feet with time, turning into silt and decaying.

He understood that it was time to do something to change himself, for example, going to watch Du Qingshao's game live might become an opportunity for healing.

Eric applied for a volunteer card, and Luo Ming didn't want to be a vegetarian, so he went to the gymnasium four or five hours early to help the rest of the staff clean and disinfect the stands.

When the work at hand is finished, the game has not yet started.He looked at the schedule, and walked towards the lounge in a strange way.

Du Qingshao was warming up on the yoga mat, looking very serious.When Luo Ming saw this, he didn't want to disturb him, and retreated to the wall, pretending to glance in casually.

There is a large floor-to-ceiling mirror. It seems that through the mirror, I found the little golden retriever hiding at the door. The little boy who was kneeling on the mat and stretching his muscles suddenly twisted his buttocks, and his body sank immediately. Somewhere between his crotch was almost close to the ground. From the hips to the back of the shoulders, the divine curve stretches like a wave.Breathing lightly passed by, he still twisted several times in succession, then slightly curled the corners of his mouth in front of the mirror, raised his eyebrows and gave a wink.

The originally normal stretching movement, because of Du Qingshao's frivolous temperament, seemed full of provocation, and it almost turned into a twerk dance.Luo Ming stared blankly for a few seconds, realizing that he probably spotted him, lowered his head, straightened his bow tie, and walked away quickly.

"Heh—" Du Qingshao in front of the mirror laughed with satisfaction.

"What are you thinking? You can still be so happy before the game." Team doctor Pan Lishu was puzzled.

Du Qingshao looked into the mirror reminiscingly for a few seconds, and was sitting on the mat and began to stretch the ligament, with a half-smile: "A little stupid dog came to watch my game."

"Mr. Varys?" The team doctor responded quickly, "I heard that he was the one who took you back to the hotel last night."

Du Qingshao nodded, his tone unconsciously raised, full of showing off: "That's right. To be honest, it's the first time I found that he is quite suitable to be a teacher, and he is much more reliable than that old-fashioned Ye Feihong."

No one knew that when he slammed the door last night, his mood almost collapsed to zero.If he could find a gym, he'd definitely be able to rush in and punch through the sandbags.

——With your strength, you will surely break countless existing records in the future.So instead of failing, you have to learn to succeed.

Luo Ming's magnetic and gentle English accent suddenly sounded in his ears again, as if it had melted into the piece of music he had listened to thousands of times in the earphones, and it had almost become his muscle memory.

Even Du Qingshao himself was surprised, after all, he listened to Luo Ming's words before, and basically regarded them as farting.

Jin Cheng, a rehabilitation doctor who came together, couldn't help but interjected when he saw this: "You finally recognize him?"

"Hehe, that's okay." He shrugged, remembering that Luo Ming was so scared that he hugged his thigh and cried that night when the power went out. He was angry and funny, "I've never seen a teacher ask a student to comfort him."

Less than an hour before playing, the radio has already started broadcasting precautions.The two team doctors did not answer the conversation, and the topic was perfunctorily ended.

Du Qingshao didn't take it seriously, and whistled lightly, doing stretching while listening to music.When everything is ready, follow the coach to prepare to enter.

"You're a dead duck with a stubborn mouth. You look just like you did back then." After he left, Pan Lishu immediately changed his appearance, fiddled with Jin Cheng's earlobe, and took a few breaths of steam, "Why didn't you learn the essence of me?"

"Get out," he cursed in a low voice, "Doctor Pan, pay attention to your image in public."

Pan Lishu laughed a few more times, took him into his arms, and tacitly raised his head to watch the little boy enter the arena.Both of them are in their thirties, facing a litter of cubs from the figure skating team, especially Xiao Du, who is familiar with him, suddenly feels like an old father, discussing who the child's personality is like.

Du Qingshao didn't know what they were thinking at all. He was warming up on the sidelines at the moment, and he didn't forget to say hello to a certain volunteer in a suit and leather shoes on the sidelines.

The arbitrariness that I didn't know how to restrain at that time was indeed cut off a lot, but it still seemed relatively relaxed, neither humble nor overbearing.Luo Ming didn't want to affect his feeling, so he simply nodded and smiled politely.

"Remember to watch me play." He hinted again with his lips.

Luo Ming still just nodded lightly.

Due to his unsatisfactory performance yesterday, Du Qingshao played in the second group today.At the beginning of the sixth practice, he couldn't help but glance outside the field to confirm that Luo Ming was really watching the game seriously, and then put himself into training with peace of mind, and practiced both quadruple jumps a few times.

feel good.Du Qingshao adjusted his breathing, and after the sixth practice was over, he did his final warm-up on the sidelines, and glanced in a certain direction from time to time.

The two didn't talk to each other the whole time, but their eyes seemed to meet several times.Luo Ming had just taken sedative drugs, but his breathing was still heavy, until he met his calm and slightly smiling eyes, and bowed his head in embarrassment.

He felt that his anxious mood was not worthy of the half-confidence of the other party.Seeing this, Du Qingshao slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

Today's order of appearance is based on the score. The top five players are still a bit inferior, and their results are mediocre.Du Qingshao looked up at the electronic screen coldly, took off the knife cover and handed it to Ye Feihong, and stepped onto the ice rink without looking back.

To borrow the narrator's words, this free skating is Du Qingshao's "battle of self-salvation", which is related to whether this fledgling 17-year-old boy can knock on the shining palace as he wishes.

The slow and heavy first movement kicked off. Du Qingshao was really obedient this time, and followed Luo Ming's choreography to complete the opening movement without any mistakes. He calmly cast the shock of the sudden disaster to the audience through his eyes. .

For the first jump, Philips does a quadruple jump.Du Qingshao quickly walked around to the sidelines, the tassels and brocade on his shoulders fluttering behind him, like a dragonfly touching water, but rippled layer upon layer.

Touch the ice, take off, and successfully land on the 4F.The scene was quiet for a moment, less than half a second apart, just as the audience was about to applaud, he quickly turned his body around and touched the ice with the knife teeth of his right foot.

That's right, Du Qingshao changed the composition of the program without authorization, and connected a 3T after the original single jump.

And it's still a Rippon gesture with both hands raised.The slender hands are crossed on the top of the head, like a cluster of budding flower stamens being thrown into the air, and the arms are opened after falling into the ice. With the pure color Costen, it looks like a white rose blooming on the ice rink, with morning glory Dew crystal luster.

Everyone was shocked in an instant, and there was thunderous applause.

In a trance, the two seemed to meet their eyes again. Luo Ming stood outside the court, still not recovering.Because it is easy to make mistakes, 4F3T is a rare and very difficult jump in figure skating. Coupled with the Rippon posture, it can almost be called a textbook demonstration of violence and aesthetics.

However, there are strict technical regulations for a set of programs, and any triple or quadruple jumps cannot exceed two times.Judging from the coach's equally astonished reaction, this action was basically changed by Du Qingshao on the spur of the moment.

What to do with the next jump?Will there be a penalty for repeated jumps?Luo Ming clenched the fabric of the hem of his suit tightly, and his breathing became short of breath. He even took a few steps back and held on to the railing.

This little boy is too worrying.

But he gave the perfect answer in the second jump.In the original 4T3T, after the first jump off the ice, a half-circle loop jump was used to assist the skating, followed by a 3S, which was also a jump with hands raised.

Two successful jumps won him more than 30 technical points!That was not a random change on the spur of the moment, but a premeditated turnaround against the wind.

The gap of 1 points with No.20 cannot be made up by words.And this is the gauntlet that Du Qingshao made after a night of precipitation - he will never admit defeat until the last moment.

After two tight jumps, the music gradually eased.He put on rock and roll steps, slipped to the baffle unhurriedly, raised his hands and stretched his upper body dance movements, as if touching the jaws of the little beauties outside the venue through the air tens of meters away.

Luo Ming leaned stiffly against the baffle, and was deprived of most of his sanity by the teasing, and lowered his head meekly.The gentle melody like a stream enveloped him, making the white-clothed boy on the field a pair of small wings.

Jumping, joint rotation, and soul-stirring movements pushed the competition to a climax.The young man's wings gradually plumped up, and his gestures and gestures were unconcealed with arrogance and elegance. The moment he finished his gesture and stood on the ice rink, the applause never stopped.

It worked!He really did it!Although he failed due to lack of physical strength in the second half, today's performance is enough to support him to attack the final goal.

He choked excitedly, covered his mouth and coughed a few times.Of course, these episodes had no effect at all. At this moment, he could not wait to take off his clothes and run naked on the ice rink like a football player celebrating a goal.

"Du Qingshao!" The coach couldn't help scolding again, "Why did you change the jump without discussing it with me!"

"If I discuss it with you, I will definitely not let me change it." He leaned over and pressed the knife cover, understating it.

"You still know? How many times have I told you not to raise your hands and jump, your shoulder..." Ye Feihong raised his hand worriedly and pressed it.

But Du Qingshao slapped it away: "It's a small problem, don't get in the way."

"Absolutely no second time! Even if we quarreled yesterday, I'm still your coach."

Du Qingshao hummed twice perfunctorily, and glanced at Luo Ming, but unfortunately the two were too far apart, it was inconvenient to walk over and hug him, so he could only hug the coach who scolded him like a dog yesterday against his will.

When the final results came out, Du Qingshao scored the first hundred technical points in his career and ranked first with a total score of 261.63, successfully reversing the disadvantage of the first day.

"Yeah~" He still couldn't hold back his emotions, and happily gestured in front of the camera.

The moment the score came out, Luo Ming's hanging heart also fell to the ground, but it still took a lot of energy to walk out of the court while holding on to the wall.

"Why are you running out?" A familiar voice came from behind, and Du Qingshao stopped him, "How are you, are you not disappointed?"

He turned around and took a deep breath, noncommittal: "At least I skated while listening to the music. But whether this result can make it to the finals depends on the performance of other people. After all, the top six players in this round are all very strong."

"Hmm." He admitted the truth frankly, "but the stronger the opponent, the more worthy of the challenge. One day, they will just be supporting roles in my life."

"I think you are really proud today." Luo Ming corrected mercilessly, "Maybe you think your jumping and spinning are beautiful, but in my eyes, it's like a crazy octopus flicking its tentacles."

The cold water poured the little boy into a dazed face: "...Pardon?"

"Crazyoctopus." Luo Ming thought he didn't understand the word, and explained in Chinese, "Octopus...inese."

Listen, is this the way you talk to a future world champion?He also brought his own translator, is his clever little brain really a display?Du Qingshao immediately spat out a mouthful of old blood, cursed loudly, and turned to walk to the lounge.

"By the way, there are two clockwise players like you in this competition. You can talk to them after the game."

Du Qingshao moved his shoulders and walked away cursing.
