wipe the ice and fire

The awards ceremony for the finals seemed more glamorous than ever.Hearing his own name, facing the light beam of the follow spotlight and boarding the ice rink, that is his exclusive honor.Not to mention the custom-made sequins and medals on Costen, which directly gave the little boy the illusion of reaching the pinnacle of his life.

However, when the silver medalist Dilan, who was on the same stage half an hour ago, appeared on the stage, Du Qingshao woke up instantly, and hugged him warmly with a stern smile.

A smell of gunpowder suddenly burst out from the podium within easy reach, and even the air above the cold ice rink turned sour.

After the awards ceremony, the two met backstage again.Di Lang looked at him a little bit evasively, Du Qingshao was dissatisfied, and raised his hand to stop him when there was no one else: "If you have anything else to say, let's make it clear in person."

"There's nothing to say," he folded his arms around his chest and turned his head. "You should know about my situation by now, that's all."

"I have no experience in love, but I hope you don't cross the bottom line as an athlete because of personal matters." Du Qingshao glanced at him lightly, "You should be glad that figure skating is not a confrontational competition, otherwise I will let you lose very ugly."

"My score is clearly higher than yours!"

"It won't happen next time." He left a sentence and turned to leave.After returning to the hotel to change his clothes, he put the cold big copper cake into his pocket and went downstairs to make an appointment.

Luo Ming was already waiting for him, wrapped in a knee-length black down jacket.Even so, he couldn't conceal his well-proportioned figure, standing upright like a bamboo tube, listening to things with his head down.He only wore one earphone, and raised his head alertly when he heard footsteps.Du Qingshao walked in and took a look: "Are you listening to the recording just now?"

He put away his things and nodded: "Well, thank you."

It may be because he stood outside for a long time, his complexion is not very good, he seems to be preoccupied.Seeing this, Du Qingshao crossed his hands helplessly: "Do you take what he said last seriously?"

"Sorry for causing you trouble." Luo Ming bowed his head, "Don't worry, I will never make fun of your career."

"I told you that the zipper of my backpack is locked with fingerprints, so no one else can touch it. And I didn't blame you, otherwise the recording would have been deleted." Du Qingshao shrugged nonchalantly, "But I'm curious , how did you guess that he would provoke our relationship and ask me to cooperate in acting."

"Based on feeling." Luo Ming pulled down the scarf, "He lost his mind after breaking up with his brother..."

He originally wanted to say that this guy was upset when he saw other people falling in love, but when he thought about the relationship between the two of them, he felt that something was wrong and swallowed it back.

In the dim light of the night, Du Qingshao didn't notice his sudden distraction, and looked carefully through the damp and cold air.

Figure skating is all he has now, and it is the bottom line that no one can touch.He couldn't forget the scene when he asked Luo Ming to question him angrily, and it's not that he didn't think about the content of Dilan's sowing dissension.

——"Aren't you the young master of a rich family? There is something you can't do, and you drag me into it!"

——"Sorry, I'm actually... the illegitimate child of the Varys family."

In just a few words, he squeezed out one by one from his mouth.

It was the nightmare that tormented him throughout his childhood, and it was something that he cried and buried with layers of soil when he was an adult, trying to seal it in the deepest part of his memory and never wanted to touch it again.

At that time, Du Qingshao only cared about being angry, and stalked and pressed him for a while.When he noticed something strange, Luo Ming's face was already pale, turning into a puddle of mud and leaning against the wall.

But this time he didn't faint, as if he could always hold on to any matter involving Du Qingshao, and even analyzed a solution that was the same as the development of the matter in just 10 minutes.

In the end, Du Qingshao chose to forgive, after all, he couldn't tell what would happen in the world where he didn't meet Luo Ming.

However, it seems that there is still a grudge between each other.

"Walk for a while? I think the scenery on the bridge outside is very good."

"You should hurry up and rest, the illness is still not cured." Luo Ming refused.

"It's been a long time ago," he retorted dissatisfiedly, and took out the bronze medal from his pocket and shook it again, "I don't want to be pinned to bed to sleep anymore, just take it as a small celebration."

"Don't throw the medals around!" Luo Ming reminded him.

Of course Du Qingshao couldn't bear to shake it around, and held it in his hand in the next second, whistling and walking forward.Seeing this, Luo Ming sighed helplessly, and followed him forward.

"This medal is actually made of natural crystal." He leaned on the railing, raised the medal and looked carefully at the streetlight.The medals for the finals are big enough to have a row of faces, and adult men can barely hold them with one hand.Under the dim light, the crystal exudes a soft jade color, and the silhouette of the eastern part of the Alps and the information of the game are engraved in the middle, surrounded by a circle of copper.

Luo Ming stood by and watched him quietly.After holding the medal and admiring it for a long time, Du Qingshao remembered that there was still someone standing beside him, and turned his head to ask, "You must have never touched the athlete's medal, have you?"

He didn't want to spoil his interest, so he nodded cooperatively.

"Then your first time is mine." Du Qingshao raised the medal to his eyes.His eyes were slightly dazed, thinking that he was wearing leather gloves and it would be easy to slip, so he took off the gloves and put them in his pocket, and took them carefully.

The crystal is so clean that there is no trace of impurities. "It's the Alps," he whispered.

"Well," Du Qingshao leaned forward, and accidentally turned on the rainbow fart mode, "The largest mountain range in Europe, known as the White Jungfrau, is the highest peak in the hearts of many climbers."

Luo Ming was taken aback again when he heard the words, and whispered, "So you are quite good at talking."

"Nonsense, the complete works of Shakespeare are my bedtime reading."

"Is it hypnosis?" He couldn't hold back the knife.

Although the voice was very soft, Du Qingshao still heard it, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Huh? What did you say!"

"I said...you don't have the habit of eating medals?" Luo Ming had no choice but to lie.

Now Du Qingshao was even more angry, and took back the medal from him: "I've even seen the silver medal, so I can't be so excited."

During the fight, he touched Luo Ming's hand, which was almost as cold as a crystal, and he couldn't help being startled.Just as he was about to say something, a familiar greeting came from behind him.

He turned around in response, saw his father whom he hadn't seen for half a year, and then remembered that he had made an appointment with his own father tonight.His father, Du Junjie, is the coach of the ski team and happened to lead the team to participate in the World Cup in Central Europe.Although he couldn't catch up with the live broadcast, he still found time to meet his son after the game.

Unexpectedly, I happened to see my son fighting with a handsome crooked nut, and hid aside and peeked for a while before going up to say hello to them.

Du Qingshao didn't know it, put the medal in his pocket, and called Dad generously.Du Junjie hugged his shoulder and patted him in relief, then asked, "Who is this?"

"He is my choreography teacher." Du Qingshao turned his head and glanced, and introduced to Luo Ming, "He is my father."

Luo Ming understood immediately, and showed his usual etiquette for others, shaking hands and handing business cards one-stop.Seeing his programmed actions, Xiao Du standing aside couldn't help but think of the scene he just met, and cursed in his heart: old fashioned, useless etiquette.

Unexpectedly, the old man was very useful to this set, and he patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. Varys is really knowledgeable, you should learn from the teacher in all aspects."

"Tch, he just has an appearance."

"Oh?" Dad was surprised, "You guys already understand so deeply?"

"No." Du Qingshao almost rolled his eyes after hearing this.

Luo Ming turned into a telegraph pole and stood beside him quietly.He actually had an impression of the name Du Junjie, because the Varis family owned property in Isère in the south of France, and the ski resort there would host a group of athletes every summer.But unexpectedly, the person in front of him has deep eye sockets and brown hair. Although he is over 40 years old, he can still see the handsome shadow of his youth from his eyebrows.

Although he knew that it was not good to stare at others when they met for the first time, he couldn't help but take a few more glances when it came to someone's affairs.

"Actually, our family is of Chinese-Russian mixed race, but it's not obvious in my generation." Du Qingshao followed his eyes and quickly figured out his mind, "But my pupils are light brown."

After speaking, he leaned forward.I couldn't see anything clearly at night, but I was sprayed hot in the face by the kid who suddenly jumped out.Luo Ming helplessly avoided his gaze, and hummed cooperatively.

"Since your father is here, I won't bother you." After avoiding the little boy, he politely nodded to Father Du.

"Where is the matter, I have heard about Xiao Shao's fever before the game, thank you for persuading him." Father Du said with a relieved smile, "No one can control him since he was a child, I didn't expect to get along with you so much. harmony."

"You know everything!?" Du Qingshao couldn't believe it.

But Father Du was still eloquent: "In my memory, I still saw the puppy doll with glowing eyes in the crane machine. I didn't expect it to be so soon..."

"?" Du Qingshao sensed that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly interrupted the conversation, and pulled his father aside, "Speak up if you have something to say, don't pick up the black history of my childhood."

"It seems that I didn't say anything wrong, right?" Father Du frowned, "In that case, don't stand outside, let's find a restaurant and sit down."

There were basically German signs on the street, and the two couldn't understand them, so they went to a formal-looking western restaurant at Luo Ming's suggestion.But everyone had no appetite and ordered an untimely afternoon tea.

Luo Ming didn't have the habit of talking while eating, and when he first met Father Du, he seemed reserved and kept nodding politely.Du's father is away all the year round, and his English is very good. The conversation between the two of them is like the scene of the listening test of the fourth and sixth grades.

Although Ye Feihong was strongly advised not to read online comments, he couldn't help but climb up and take a look.This is a forum dedicated to ice and snow sports in China. As expected, it is full of posts about competitions just after opening it.

[Congratulations to brother Maodu for winning the bronze medal, someone else's 17-year-old, the future can be expected]

[And I heard that it was a fever competition, it was really hard/crying]

[Is it just me who wants to complain about the good water of Majiabobi? ]

[Going back upstairs, it’s really only you/Smiling Little Ma was really a legend who supported the sky by himself back then, if you don’t like trouble, you have to have the minimum respect. ]

[By the way, Brother Xiao Ma is really at the age of retirement, there is no one in the senior group, and it will all depend on Brother Maodu in the future. ]...

Du Qingshao silently slid the post to the bottom, and a letter from Ma Jiabo suddenly popped up at the top.

[Where did you go again?I wanted to celebrate with you while the coach was away. ]

[I want to eat hairy belly hot pot: with my dad, he came to see me. ]

[Yeah?Then don't bother, come back early to rest. ]

Du Qingshao wanted to reply that there was no need to celebrate, but his ears caught his father's conversation.

"He has always been my pride, since childhood."

The hand that was typing stopped, and the corner of the phone made a muffled sound on the table.

Only then did Du Qingshao realize that in fact, he has been given high hopes by the people around him all along.From family, teachers to coaches, ice fans and fans, everyone has expectations for themselves.

It's like playing Sudoku with the neighbor's junior high school elder sister in the fifth grade, but the dimensionality reduction blow made the other party cry.After getting off work, his mother held his head down and apologized, and said in a tone full of pride and helplessness: "Our family Xiao Shao has been quick at everything since elementary school, and he did things inappropriately, which caused you trouble."

It's just that it wasn't stated at the time.

Luo Ming, who was sitting next to him, quickly noticed his strangeness, poked him with his elbow, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." He quickly pressed the lock screen button and shook his head.
