wipe the ice and fire

Luo Ming probably felt ashamed of being teased, and remained silent.Du Qingshao couldn't think of anything else to say, so he put an electric hot water bottle on his shoulder, and leaned against the bed in silence.

Pulling away from the cheerful atmosphere of the live broadcast, looking at the empty room in front of him, the silence is more straightforward, like a monologue after a feast.

Du Qingshao actually felt a little short of breath, and unbuttoned all the buttons, allowing the muscles of his body to be exposed under the seemingly invisible cover of the white shirt.

In my impression, after practicing figure skating for more than ten years, the first serious injury was his right shoulder. After that, he also twisted his foot and injured his hip, but nothing was as tortured as this old injury.

The winter in the north is more than ten degrees below zero. In previous years, he started to ache as soon as winter came.However, after being promoted to the group this year, the amount of training has increased a lot, and it has been difficult since August.

Coupled with the pressure from all sides, he changed the difficulty structure again and again in the game, and used the Rippon (jumping hand), which was blocked by a shoulder injury, without permission for the little extra points. By the end of the season, the situation had already moved in an irreversible direction developed.

After the grand prix, his training efficiency declined severely for a whole month. The dull pain in his shoulder affected his judgment on the timing of take-off and his sense of center of gravity control, resulting in the textbook-like quadruple jumps that frequently deviate from the axis.

Knowing the reason, Ye Feihong didn't scold him for the first time, but quietly reduced the amount of training, and took him to the team doctor every now and then.

But how much it can play, only he himself knows.The current situation does not allow him to stop and heal his injuries before leaving.

Expect, expect, expect...

This word made him taste the sweetness, but also gave him unprecedented pressure, mixed with recurring injuries, tormenting him with holes.

The little boy who had fallen asleep before even began to suffer from insomnia and became taciturn.He was used to jumping up and down on weekdays, but it was too obvious to suddenly become like this. Instead, Ma Jiabo came to comfort him and enlighten him patiently.

Every time Du Qingshao thought of these trivial things, he felt useless.

Shoulder still hurts.He changed his position and lay on his side on the bed, looking at the familiar furnishings in the room, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

The next day's training continued as usual, and when he arrived at the ice rink, several teammates had already arrived.He didn't look carefully, and went directly to the sidelines to warm up.

"I heard that the team doctor took you to the hospital again yesterday?" Song Tanghao swayed slowly from the other side, his words full of provocation.

"What's none of your business?" Du Qingshao stretched his ligaments on the pole without even raising his head.

"I really care about you." He leaned on the pole and smiled kindly, "Look, Ma Jiabo still didn't come to practice today. I heard what the coach said a few days ago, 'Anyway, the Grand Prix The ranking is not bad, our ancestors paid attention to success and retirement, you should understand what they mean? From now on, you are the future and hope of our men's singles. Of course, I must take good care of you, a young seedling that just came out of the greenhouse ah."

Just a few words all hit the sore spot.Du Qingshao was already full of anger in his heart, hearing his sarcasm, his heart burst into flames, he raised his hand and poked him on the shoulder, with the appearance of a standard high school student fighting: "He retired, you are very angry." Happy, eh?"

Of course it's impossible to say you're unhappy.Song Tanghao also has a reserve of quadruple jumps, and even has a better sense of music, but he lacks Du Qingshao's calm mentality and makes frequent mistakes on the court.And the little cub who was born out of nowhere won the first battle, and he was squeezed into the second echelon abruptly, so it was not a blow.

But he just smiled: "I think you misunderstood."

"There is no misunderstanding." Du Qingshao corrected him, "I just want to remind you that the current A-level competition is basically invited by the organizing committee. It's not that one more person or one less person in our team will block your great future."

The implication is cold and ruthless.After hearing this, Song Tanghao couldn't hold back anymore, and directly raised his hand and grabbed his collar: "You little bastard, teach me to be a man, right?"

"Uh..." Du Qingshao was pulled away, and his shoulders twisted forward unexpectedly, the pain made him almost cry out.In the next second, he bit all the pain on his lips, and swiped the opponent's chin with an almost instinctive reflexive elbow.

He has practiced, besides figure skating, he also practiced Sanda when he was a child.

Fortunately, he didn't take off his down jacket, and put on a thick layer of clothes, so he didn't knock the opponent's teeth away.

"You actually?" Song Tanghao looked at him in surprise while clutching his chin. At the same time, Ye Feihong's roar came from the door: "Du Qingshao! Why are you two crazy!"

"He did it first!" Du Qingshao shouted back not to be outdone, and pointed to the stunned teammates nearby and asked, "If you don't believe me, ask them, who did it first!"

On the sidelines, there were children from the youth group, as well as athletes in the double ice dance. They were all frightened by his sudden black power, and they all nodded: "Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with Xiao Du..."

Ye Feihong was so angry that he couldn't even speak, he pointed at the two restless guys and gritted his teeth: "You don't need to train, first run 20 laps around the gymnasium, then go back to the room and write a 5-word self-criticism, before ten o'clock tonight give it to me."

"If you don't practice, you don't practice." Du Qingshao rolled his eyes at him, put his head on his back and walked away without looking back.

After handing in the review at night, he was scolded by the coach again, and even threatened him with disqualification.After returning to the room, the brat, who had been suffocated with anger, lost sleep again, and what made him feel even more flustered...his shoulder injury seemed to be getting worse.

This was the first time he was in so much pain that he couldn't sleep all night.He was obviously exhausted, but the pain woke him up again and again, and countless fragmentary images flashed in his mind.At four o'clock in the morning, he finally gave in and called the team doctor.

Pan Lishu, who was sleeping in the gentle village with Jin Cheng in his arms, was suddenly awakened by the ringtone of his mobile phone. He pressed the answer button half asleep, only to hear a familiar voice whisper: "Doctor Pan, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

"?" Pan Lishu was stunned when he heard it, and looked at it several times with his eyes wide open to make sure that he did not answer the wrong call.

The little brat actually sometimes begs for help in a soft tone?Sure enough, the principle of "Dr. Pan if you have something to do, call him famous if you have nothing to do" applies everywhere.

"It's okay, tell me." He pulled his other hand from under Jin Cheng's neck, tiptoedly lifted the quilt, stepped barefoot on the soft carpet in the bedroom, and walked to the French window.

Du Qingshao told the truth about his fight with others, and then asked in a low voice: "Can you come over an hour earlier and help me see before the morning training starts?"

"No problem, we'll be right there."

Hanging up the phone, I thought it was quiet, but when I turned around, I found that Jin Cheng was already sitting on the bed with sleepy eyes, looking at him like a coquettish kitten.

"problem occurs?"

Pan Lishu was noncommittal: "Let's be sons."

"Okay," Jin Cheng rubbed his brows when he heard the words, "I'll bake some bread, and hurry over after eating."

Half an hour later, Pan Lishu set off from the villa on the outer ring in his black Mercedes.Last night's impromptu lingering made Jin Cheng unable to cheer up for a while, and he was huddled in the passenger seat drinking milk at the moment.

"If you're sleepy, go back to sleep, and don't give Little Du a wrong acupuncture point later."

"How could it be possible to sleep." Jin Cheng shook his head repeatedly, rubbing his sore waist.

Pan Lishu squinted to the side: "If I had known this, I would have missed you last night."

"Get lost!" He cursed strangely, and raised his hand to rub Qingming acupoint again, "The match is just around the corner, yet he still fights."

"He's not in the mood at all recently..." When it came to this topic, Pan Lishu's face became more serious, he stopped the car at a red light, and tapped the steering wheel with his fingers, "The burden on him is too heavy, and the injury has not healed well. , It’s really frustrating.”

"He still doesn't know about his parents. If he can't hide it, it will be another huge blow to him."

"At the end of the day, he is just a child." Pan Lishu sighed deeply, "Recalling when I was 18 years old, I was selected to give a speech at the opening ceremony, and I was so nervous to read the manuscript in front of [-] people in the medical school."

But what Du Qingshao has to face is a gymnasium with tens of thousands of people, and he bears the fate of the entire figure skating men's singles.

For him, every game is a desperate battle.

At five o'clock in the morning, the streets were empty, and the sky at dawn was shrouded in a light purple halo, and it was hard to tell the difference between dusk and sunrise.The red light quickly turned to a green light, Pan Lishu started the car again, and drove towards the gradually clear fish belly in the east.

There was also silence in the car.

When they arrived at the club, Du Qingshao was already waiting at the door of the infirmary.It was the first time that Pan Lishu saw him so obedient, so he cleared his throat seriously, opened the door and invited him in.

"What's the specific situation?"

"When the shoulders are raised to the level, they can't move back and forth, especially backwards..." Du Qingshao buried his head and walked to the bed, took off his coat and unbuttoned it.

Pan Lishu nodded and walked over to help him check.Du Qingshao didn't sleep all night, his eyes were full of exhaustion, coupled with the pain from the traction, his lips were as pale as wax.Jin Cheng stuffed a banana into his hand, but he also pushed it away.

"It's the same problem as before. I told you that I will take you to undergo surgery at the end of this season." Pan Lishu pressed his fingers on both sides of his shoulders, "I'm really worried and let the senior accompany you to take a picture later. "

Jin Cheng was burying himself in the preparation of acupuncture tools, changed his clingy sleepy cat appearance on the bed, and said calmly, "Call me Dr. Jin during working hours."

"Tsk." Pan Lishu disliked his prudence, but he didn't bother to flirt with him, so he sat next to Du Qingshao, "Xiao Du, I think it's more necessary for the coach to take you to see it than to have an operation." Psychologist……"

"I'm fine." Before finishing speaking, Du Qingshao rushed to interrupt, "It can be adjusted."

"But you go to the competition in this state, how can you make us feel at ease!?" He raised his voice and asked back, "And your choreographer teacher, do you have the heart to see him worry about you?"

Hearing Luo Ming, the little brat instantly woke up a lot: "He's in France, there shouldn't be games from the Four Continents being broadcast over there."

"Don't avoid the important and take the light!" Pan Lishu reminded in a cold voice.

"I didn't, and I know exactly what I'm doing." His emotions also became agitated, "No matter who it is, there is no need to worry; if you want to persuade me to retire, then there is no need."

Pan Lishu was taken aback when he heard the words, and was stopped by Jin Cheng before he had time to say anything: "Okay, let me see him first."

Du Qingshao had mixed feelings in his heart, as if he realized something, his tone suddenly became hard: "No matter what happens, without my permission, don't tell Lumi about my situation."
