wipe the ice and fire

The time when all the dust settles is the most tormented.From the start of the first group competition, the rankings are constantly being refreshed and changed.The director's room had special seats for the top three. The people around them changed several rounds, and when the finale came on stage, the number one spot still couldn't be kept.

Du Qingshao finally ranked third with a slight advantage of two points and squeezed into the podium of the French Grand Prix.

The only thing that surprised him was that the fourth place was actually his fellow disciple, his childhood god Ma Jiabo.It was the first time to surpass him in an open competition, which made Du Qingshao feel unrealistic and illusory.

"Don't be like this, I'm about to retire, the future belongs to you." Ma Jiabo was amused by the little eyes he looked at him.

"It's a pity that I couldn't catch up with your peak state to compete on the same stage." Du Qingshao rarely said something human from the bottom of his heart, and stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder.

Probably because I increased the difficulty factor without authorization today, when I stopped, my body felt inexplicably swollen for a while.Du Qingshao couldn't help but feel a little dazed: he almost tried his best in this competition, but he barely managed to take the third place.Although he surpassed Ma Jiabo this time, his overall points are still higher than his own. Whether he can enter the finals depends on the performance of the last seeded players.

After having suffered so much from being complacent, and getting the same ranking again, he obviously calmed down a lot.After receiving the small medal, he buried himself in the lounge.

Luo Ming was washing his face in the bathroom, and ran into him just as he was leaving the house.His emotions have not completely calmed down, and he didn't notice that his hair was wet a few times.

The two bumped into each other.Du Qingshao was thinking about something on his mind, but when he saw him roll his eyes angrily: "You haven't left yet?"

"Want to wait for the final result..."

"Then hurt me again, right?" He rushed to interrupt.

"I'm just feeding back my truest feelings." Luo Ming refused to let go, fearing that he would be dazzled by the small medal, and followed him to the waiting room.

The team doctor was talking about his life inside, and when he saw the two walking back together, his eyes lit up: "Yeah?"

"What are you looking at!" Du Qingshao then remembered that there were still these two live treasures in the room.

"Sorry for the interruption." Pan Lishu stood up with a smile, and pulled Jin Cheng by the way, "You guys take your time to summarize after the game, we will avoid it."

"No need." Du Qingshao shook his hand at them, then turned to ask Luo Ming, "Is there anything else to explain?"

He frowned slightly, as if looking for the right words.Under the light, Du Qingshao realized that the few strands of hair in front of the little beauty's forehead were wet, and there was an indescribably decadent beauty hanging in front of her eyes.

He blinked, and asked maliciously: "You can say words like octopus, so you should have learned Chinese well?"

Luo Ming didn't expect him to ask this suddenly, and was taken aback for a while: "It's okay."

"Then try a tongue twister?" Du Qingshao smirked, "Read it with me: black fertilizer turns gray, gray fertilizer turns black. Black fertilizer turns gray and will evaporate; gray fertilizer will turn black when used!"

"?" Luo Ming raised his eyebrows in surprise after hearing a lot of hey hey.

"Read it, this is just an entry-level one. If you can't read it, you are ashamed to say that you have learned Chinese." Du Qingshao began to fool people.

Luo Ming kept the boy's untidy expression in his eyes, lowered his head and fiddled with the bow tie, and directly skipped the question: "There is indeed something, Mr. Ye asked me to ask you..."

Before the words fell, a scream was heard from outside.Immediately there was chaos outside, shouts came and went, and a group of people hurried past in the corridor, and they could be heard saying "hurry up", as well as the sound of the rolling wheels of the equipment.

Luo Ming's body froze reflexively, and turned his head to look at the broadcast on the screen.

Now it's a pair skating competition.The music stopped abruptly, and a figure lay quietly near the baffle, blood spilled from her head, staining the ice surface red.

"Boom——" As soon as his eyes met the pool of blood, his legs softened uncontrollably in an instant, as if all his strength had been removed, and his knees slammed heavily on the plastic pad.

Du Qingshao was changing shoes on the sidelines, and was quite frightened when he heard such a movement.When he looked up at the screen, the female player was surrounded by medical staff.

Probably a throwing error.He also thumped uncomfortably, but it was not as exaggerated as Luo Ming.

Ever since he met him, Du Qingshao felt that this person was always inexplicably afraid of something, and he magnified these fears relentlessly, like a child.

It deserves you to hurt me just now.He inadvertently snorted coldly, but after a long time, Luo Ming still didn't get up, kneeling on the ground, panting heavily.

This...he felt something was wrong, so he went up to check the situation: "Hey, are you okay?"

Luo Ming knew that he disliked him for being like this, so he kept biting his lip and dared not cry out, but the more he endured it, the more he couldn't breathe, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and his back muscles were so tense.

Hearing his voice, Luo Ming completely lost his mind, and stiffly fell to the place where the voice came from.Du Qingshao was taken aback, quickly grabbed the little golden retriever who was out of control, and pulled him into his arms.

He fell face up in Du Qingshao's arms, the headlights above his head shone blindingly, illuminating every inch of his skin with nowhere to hide.The scabbed flesh and blood stuck to the clothes, and it seemed to be torn off abruptly. The body riddled with holes was instantly exposed, shining brightly for people to watch.

He seemed to hear the male player's trembling cries, and saw his tears of self-blame... How should they face the future games?Luo Ming shivered, his pupils almost lost focus.The pain in his chest didn't subside at all, and he couldn't breathe under the pressure.

It was the first time Du Qingshao saw a dying person. Realizing the urgency of the situation, he shouted: "Pan Lishu, what's going on with him?!"

"Maybe I received a certain kind of stimulus,...a panic attack." The team doctor got up and took a few steps forward.

Unexpectedly, Luo Ming curled up in an instant, buried his head in his arms, and begged for something vaguely in his mother tongue.

"What are you talking about?" Du Qingshao couldn't understand, so he could only wrap his arms around his shoulders and stroke the back of his neck soothingly.The person in his arms didn't stop trembling. He took a deep breath and looked up at the team doctor: "You go out first."

"But you can take care of..."

"I can!" He interrupted anxiously, and calmly said in an orderly tone, "He is afraid of strangers, you go out."
