Chapter 96 The Eve of the Final Battle

If it is said that since ancient times military strategists have paid attention to the right time, place and people, this season Du Qingshao has nothing but "human harmony".In the two races, I ran into my old friend Himuro Nagakawa, and I had to go to a place with minus [-] to [-] degrees in Big Goose to participate in another race and the finals.Thinking of Xiao Du's fever before the game, Luo Ming began to worry again, afraid that he wouldn't be able to adapt to the climate there.

Unexpectedly, Du Qingshao was worried about him, and specially asked his mother to get two high-quality mink fur coats and a box of warm babies, and was going to wrap Luo Ming into rice dumplings and take them to the big goose.

The home game in China was much smoother than expected.Du Qingxuan's short program followed the repertoire of last season, and on this basis, he replaced the original opening 4F3T jumps with the already stable 4Lz3T.After more than a year of polishing, it is already a very mature set of works, and finally scored 110.25 points, refreshing his personal short program record and only one point away from the world record.On the second day, he completed the debut of the new track with his steady performance, and finally won the first gold medal in the sub-station with 312.77 points.

Unlike the previous kid who was complacent about making a little progress, this time he was very calm. After answering the media, he had a friendly exchange with Himuro Nagakawa.

"Mr. Qing Shao is really good. I haven't seen you for a few months and you can win so easily. It seems that I should work harder than before."

He hugged the puppy doll Luo Ming gave him with a half-smile: "Actually, you just need to fall in love."

"You still love to tell jokes as always." Ice Room was amused by him, but quickly returned to his original humility and indifference, "I heard that you challenged me with Axel quadruple jumps at the press conference. expect."

"I won't keep you waiting for long." Du Qingshao replied firmly.

Last year, the media reported that the first 4A in the ice room had successfully landed on the ice, and was hailed by the ice circle as the first men's singles that was expected to succeed.But with his personality of pursuing perfection, he will definitely show the most perfect jump in front of everyone.Now Du Qingshao has also mastered the 4A skills, and the two stand on the same starting line.

So now, the difference between the two is whether they dare to dance, whether they can succeed, and who is the first.

Du Qingshao is different from him, he has an adventurous spirit of gamble and adventure in his bones.Putting these factors together, both of them have become speculations with different opinions from the outside world.

Himuro smiled softly again: "To be honest, it is my honor to meet an opponent like you at the same time."

"I also want to say this to you." He said seriously, "You are the player I respect the most, and you are also the goal I will continue to strive to surpass."

"See you in the finals."

"it is good."

The hands of the two teenagers were tightly held together.Respecting the opponent and constantly surpassing, isn't this what makes sports so fascinating?

After watching the ice room leave, he found Luo Ming again. The two celebrated briefly for one night, and then set off to St. Petersburg with the large army to prepare for the next match.

Perhaps because of the pressure and expectations brought about by the victory in the first match, and the fact that there are many strong local players in the Big Goose sub-station, Du Qingshao made two mistakes during the game and finally won the silver medal by three points.

The champion is Himuro Nagakawa. In the two games, the two were tied one to one.

Although the results of one gold and one silver can support him to enter the finals without any suspense, Luo Ming's old problem is still committed.

He remembered the game when Du Qingshao was seriously injured and left the field because he had endured too many people's expectations, and finally fell from a high place, covered in blood.

Now he bears more eyes than then.What made Luo Ming even more uneasy was that he didn't try 4A in the first few games, perhaps just to make his grand finale appearance in the finals.

This year's final is in Moscow.Russia at the end of December was far colder than China. Even though there was air-conditioning and heating in the room, the cold wind on the road could still blow people away.Du Qingshao did what he said, and he really wrapped Luo Ming into a ball. The padded jacket, down jacket, scarf, hat, and mask didn't fall off, and he almost put on goggles to prevent snowflakes from blowing into his beautiful aqua-blue pair. in the eyes.

Luo Ming was actually very worried, but he couldn't confide anything in front of him.

It took a few days to get used to the new venue.In order to relieve his anxiety, Luo Ming asked someone to help him apply for Zhang's coach certificate, and he and Ye Feihong accompanied him as a coach.As a result, the organizing committee of Big Goose knew about the relationship between the two, and specifically asked them if they needed to replace the single room with a spacious and comfortable double suite.

After the confession, because of Luo Ming's mental problems, the two of them have not slept in the same room until now.The double room has two beds, which can avoid embarrassment and sleep in the same space, wouldn't it be beautiful.Du Qingshao's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he readily agreed to the request.

Luo Ming was very reluctant, saying that the quality of his sleep at night was poor, and sleeping in the same room would easily wake him up, which instantly froze the relationship between the two of them.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Luo Ming still couldn't persuade him, and finally agreed to change rooms.

Du Qingshao dragged him into the room with a sullen face, and asked displeasedly, "Are you nervous?"

When these words came out of his mouth, Luo Ming seemed like an immature athlete.

He averted his eyes and dared not speak.

"It's true that I didn't show my full strength in the second round, but it won't disappoint you like this, right?"

"It's not disappointment..." Luo Ming was afraid that he might misunderstand, so he quickly clarified, "I'm just a little worried."

"Sometimes I think, how good it would be if I were a god." Du Qingshao sat on the edge of the bed, took his hand and put it on his chest, "In this way, there will be no injuries or mistakes, and every game can be played without any mistakes. I won the gold medal in suspense. Does the teacher want to see me like this?"

The slightly helpless tone hit Luo Ming's heart.

Yes, no matter how powerful Du Qingshao is, he is still human. It is normal for him to be a little nervous when he makes a mistake.

"But even so, I have never been afraid." Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Du Qingshao added the second half of the sentence, "So the teacher doesn't have to worry about me because of it. Go to bed early, tomorrow will be a short program."

"Okay." Luo Ming nodded obediently, biting his lip to suppress the strong uneasiness.

The men's singles short program was arranged in the evening, and Du Qingshao was in the same lounge as Bingshi and Dilan.Together with the two single dogs, Du Qingshao felt superior and stuck to Luo Ming to help him with makeup.

After a night's rest, his condition improved a lot, and he took out the cosmetics he used to perform on stage and agreed to the request.

Du Qingshao closed his eyes obediently, sat on the chair and swayed proudly.Luo Ming first used a hairpin to smooth the broken hair on his forehead.The clip's interface design looks like a dragon's horn, and with his writhing appearance, he looks more and more like a mentally retarded animal cub.

"Don't move around." Luo Ming frowned embarrassingly while holding the paintbrush, "Otherwise I'll make you look bad."

"No way?" He opened one eye and looked at him with a smirk. "It's impossible that my boyfriend can't even solve this trouble."

"So you admit that you are in trouble?" Luo Ming took advantage of the situation and hit him on the head with the pen, "Really stop moving, I'm starting to draw eyeliner."

"Hey." He grinned, raised his head and sat obediently on the chair.

Dilan looked at the sour smell of love in the room with disgust, so he could only listen to the music with headphones on.

The game kicked off quickly, Luo Ming packed his things, brought water and towels to accompany him into the arena.

This is the final of the top six players in the entire ice world.Walking into the ice rink, which can accommodate ten thousand people, and seeing the crowds of people in the auditorium, a sense of urgency surged into my heart instantly.Du Qingshao put back his playful smile just now, took off his team uniform and handed it to Luo Ming.

"I'm ready for the sixth practice."

"Well, let's go." Luo Ming nodded to him.

After all, it took two seasons of the short program, and every melody and every note was engraved into his DNA. Du Qingshao danced successfully a few times, and his mind was very relaxed.

Instead, he was worried about Luo Ming, so he ended the sixth practice early and returned to the sidelines.

"Aren't you going to practice?" Luo Ming looked up at him and handed him the water bottle.

"I feel like I've found it, save some strength." Du Qingshao sized him up nonchalantly, and found that his eyes were erratic and he frowned slightly.After taking a drink from the water bottle to moisten his throat, he suddenly approached coquettishly and said, "Teacher, my lips are a bit dry."

It took Luo Ming a half a beat to understand what he meant, and he took out the lip balm from his pocket: "Here."

Du Qingshao secretly laughed, feeling that his nervous appearance was too obedient, so he wiped it on his lips a few times based on his feeling, and suddenly slipped lightly to Luo Ming's eyes with his strength.

"Teacher, the lip balm is too greasy, it's not as easy to use as you."

Before Luo Ming could react, a pair of mint-scented lips had already fallen to his lips.Du Qingshao lifted his chin, rubbed it lightly a few times, and got a trace of saliva on his slightly toothed mouth.

At this time, the whistle sounded for the end of the sixth practice, the athletes returned to the sidelines one after another, and the eyes of the audience immediately fell on the two tired and crooked.

The scene of the two kissing flashed through the live broadcast. Luo Ming realized his situation, and his face instantly flushed with embarrassment, but he didn't dare to push it away, so he could only let him play around.

Even the host of the Central Five, who had commented on many games, coughed a few times in embarrassment: "This should be a special way of praying between Du Qingshao and his lover."

This lip balm is actually not greasy, it is mint flavored.Du Qingshao held his face in his hands, and patiently breathed the cool breath into his nostrils.

Feeling his breath, Luo Ming's thoughts were gradually withdrawn from the tightness of being kissed, and his breathing calmed down.

"Very good, that's it." Du Qingshao whispered against his forehead, "I want you to look at me like this when the game starts."

The performance of the first few players all made mistakes, which was not satisfactory.But what everyone didn't expect was that Durand also made a major mistake.

And it's the triple axel that he is best at.He even lay on the ice for a few seconds before getting up after the mistake in falling ice.But this time he didn't play the young master's temper, he gritted his teeth and got up before the referee whistled to stop the game, and continued to perform.

Those few seconds were very long. Even standing outside the court, Du Qingshao, who is also an athlete, could clearly feel his struggle.

Most likely a twisted joint.When the music ended, his coach almost rushed to the field to help him down.

Durand didn't show too uncomfortable expression, but whispered to the coach: "It's okay, I won't let him see it."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at the broadcast camera again, and forced out a relaxed smile.He knew that even if Wentsen was angry, he would watch his game in a certain office. The idea of ​​athletes all over the world not to worry their relatives coincided with each other.

And another young couple on the sidelines saw everything in their eyes.Luo Ming knew that his knee had a serious old injury, and the emotions he had finally calmed down became sensitive again because of the accident.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Du Qingshao leaned over and kissed the engagement ring.

But the status is always a bit affected.Du Qingshao didn't grasp the timing when he entered the first jump, and fell directly on the ice, causing the subsequent triple axel to fail.

The moment Du Qingshao fell down, he didn't feel much pain, and it wasn't because he felt sorry for the mistake that caused him to lose a lot of points, but when he got up, he subconsciously looked at the place where Luo Ming was standing at the entrance.

The eyes of the two met for a brief moment, and Du Qingshao couldn't see his expression clearly, so he could only remind himself to concentrate and never make mistakes again.

Listening to the familiar music, he gradually entered the state, and started the magnificent performance in the past in keeping with the rhythm. He even calculated the score temporarily and made up for the double jump that was wrong at the beginning in the second half.

The 2-minute show ended quickly. Du Qingshao took a few breaths, hurriedly bowed to the audience on both sides to thank him, and then quickly slid to the sidelines to check Luo Ming's situation.

Sure enough, he was frightened by the mistake at the beginning, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him by the shoulder and asked, "Are you not injured?"

"It's just a common mistake, don't be nervous."

But Luo Ming didn't listen to the persuasion, he pinched his wrist nervously, and then rubbed his shoulder, as if he didn't want to give up until he checked his whole body.

"Honey, calm down." Du Qingshao held his restless fingers and pressed them to his face, "I still have to go to the waiting area. If you feel uncomfortable, just stand here and wait for me."

Because there was a camera there, he didn't want to enlarge Luo Ming's panicked appearance for people to watch.

"I'm sorry..." Luo Ming blinked with difficulty, "I, I'm going to the toilet to wash my face."

"Okay, I'll come to you right away."

Luo Ming left a sentence, fled into the toilet in a hurry, and locked himself in the innermost compartment.

He knew that he had humiliated Du Qingshao again today.Obviously before the game, he promised to welcome him back like a hero, wipe his sweat, pass water and put on clothes, but in the end, he fumbled on him nervously, as if the sky was falling.

It's been so long, why can't I watch a game of his easily?

Luo Ming complained and beat himself twice, took out the medicine bottle he carried with him, and poured two pills.But as soon as he handed it to his mouth, he found that there was no water, so he threw the bottle out of the compartment angrily.

"Open the door." After an unknown amount of time, a familiar voice came from outside the door.Du Qingshao picked up the medicine bottle and stuffed it in through the crack of the door.

Luo Ming took the medicine, took out a handkerchief and wiped his face, adjusted his embarrassed appearance and slowly opened the door.

Du Qingshao was wearing a red team uniform with his hands behind his back, giving him an inexplicable sense of maturity at first glance.Seeing that Luo Ming opened the door, he immediately squatted down and handed the water bottle to his hand: "I poured warm water for you, first take medicine to stabilize your mood."

He took a deep breath: "How's the grade?"

"106.73 points, it may not be as good as the ice room."

"I'm sorry, I distracted you." Luo Ming didn't know what to say, and accidentally got into a dead end, thinking that he was a burden.

"It has nothing to do with you, it's because my ability is not enough." Du Qingshao took out the medicine bottle from his trembling hand, poured a pill into his palm.

"So... was it really not twisted somewhere just now?"

"Idiot, it's not made of glass, so it's not so easy to get hurt." Du Qingshao helplessly held his face and forced him to look at himself, "I know you were frightened by Dilan, but he is him and I am Me. You have to believe in science, there is no necessary connection between this."

Luo Ming nodded obediently.After taking the medicine, his nerves relaxed a little, and he realized how ridiculous the original gaffe was.

Du Qingshao was about to take a bath and rest, and put a tub of hot water for him, and invited him to come to the bathroom for a bath.The two were separated by the dense mist, one stood under the shower, the other soaked in the bathtub, and finished the "mandarin duck bath" in silence.

Du Qingshao tidied himself up first, then brought a set of clean pajamas, and fished Luo Ming out of the pool.After changing his clothes and walking back to the master bedroom, Luo Ming looked at Du Qingshao who was sitting by the bed, hesitated for a long time and suddenly asked, "Will you try 4A tomorrow?"

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"Because I think you want to win, and you want to win beautifully."

Du Qingshao smiled when he heard the words, got up and walked to him, sat down on the edge of the bed, and wrapped his arms around his waist: "Lumi, let's sleep in the same bed tonight."

"What?" He curled his neck in surprise.

"We haven't slept together yet. Don't you think the eve of the final battle is a very memorable moment?" Du Qingshao pressed his shoulders and slowly pushed him onto the pillow.

Luo Ming shook his head again and again: "But my sleep quality is very poor, just in case I wake you up..."

"No way." Du Qingshao helped him turn over and cover him with the quilt, and got into the bed himself, hugged the whole person against his back like a dog, and gently bit his earlobe, " Didn't you ask me that I will try 4A tomorrow? Now I will give you the answer."
