As the provincial competition approaches, Ruan Xiao needs to spend more and more time on the training ground.

Xiao Kaiyang had planned for him that if he wanted to compete with the players from the national team in the National Championships, he must compete for the first place in this provincial competition.

In addition, with the honorary certificate of provincial competitions and Ruan Xiao's title of national first-class athlete, when he is about to graduate, as long as Ruan Xiao performs stably in the self-enrollment process, he can be admitted to the top domestic universities.

But choosing a school after graduation is just the icing on the cake of Ruan Xiao's career, and it is no longer the focus. His ultimate goal is destined to be in international competitions.

Ruan Xiao entered the figure skating competition at an unfortunate time this year. He did not have enough personal points to catch up with this season's International Grand Prix.

Xiao Kaiyang jokingly said: "You can upgrade and fight monsters in the country first, and wait until July in the second half of the year, and then we will officially sprint to the sea of ​​stars."

As for the free skating program this time, according to Ruan Xiao's own characteristics, coach Yao arranged several high-level jumping movements for him, trying to make up for his lack of flexibility.

Since Ruan Xiao was talked to by Zhou Muye that day, his whole body seemed to be enlightened, and he changed his mind from then on. He no longer frantically made up dramas, but arranged training and leisure time reasonably.

But after rehearsing the whole program several times, Ruan Xiao always felt empty in his heart, as if something was missing, not the sense of steadfastness after his master Pei Zhan compiled the program for him.

Ruan Xiao couldn't tell.

Teacher Yao just encouraged him: "Do your best and make no mistakes. You'll be fine."

Ruan Xiao had no choice but to respond first.

Not long after, the mobile phone was also returned from Ruan Manling. It was only after Ruan Xiao opened various apps that he discovered that Ruan Manling had activated the youth mode for him, allowing him to watch dramas for up to one hour a day.

Ruan Xiao looked at his phone, humming: "...Mom..."

Ruan Manling was cold and heartless: "There is no discussion."

Xiaoxiao sighs.jpg.

This is absolutely anti-addiction.

One week after the official winter vacation for senior high school students, the provincial competition begins.

This time the competition was held in a second-tier local city next door, and Ruan Xiao had to arrive there two days in advance.

On the day Ruan Manling packed his luggage for him, Ruan Xiao sat on the edge of the upper bunk bed, shaking his legs lightly, with his head lowered, as if he had something on his mind.

Ruan Manling asked, "What's wrong?"

Ruan Xiao scratched his head and said softly, "Mom, am I going alone this time?"

Ruan Manling squatted beside the open suitcase, heard the words, and looked up: "Didn't Mom say to accompany you before? You won't let me."

Ruan Xiao vaguely guessed that Ruan Manling was busy with something important recently, because he often saw her still on the phone after get off work, and on weekends, she didn't even go to the mahjong parlor.Ruan Xiao overheard a few times that Ruan Manling made an appointment with the person on the phone to visit a shop somewhere.

"Mom, you are busy with your work, I don't want you to accompany me." Ruan Xiao lay back on the bed and said, "I can go to the competition by myself."

"Then what are you worried about?" Ruan Manling smiled and continued to fold clothes, "Coach, teammates, there are quite a few of them, don't you know them all? Why do you go alone?"

Ruan Xiao looked at the top of the tent, pursed her lips, and muttered, "Not a single good friend is here..."

Ruan Manling showed a clear expression, and looked up: "Who do you want to call?"

Ruan Xiao didn't know what to think of, rubbed his face, his cheeks were slightly flushed.

After a while, he stood up again, looked down, and said not quite confidently: "Mom, if I ask Ah Ye to go with me, do you think he will?"

"Master Xiao Zhou?" Ruan Manling was at a loss for a moment, and then smiled, "If you really want to ask him to accompany you, whether he wants to or not, go and try, just take him to the next city to relax."

Ruan Xiao was encouraged, a smile finally appeared on his face, he jumped down from the upper bunk and ran outside.

"Mom, I'll go to Ah Ye's place!"

"Xiaoxiao!" Ruan Manling called him from behind.

Ruan Xiao turned around: "Huh?"

"You tell the young master." Ruan Manling said, "If he is willing to go, I will reimburse the expenses for these few days."

Ruan Xiao smiled and showed a mouthful of small white teeth: "Thank you, Mom!"

On the way Ruan Xiao ran to the greenhouse, he met Shang Yao who was about to go out to participate in the event.

Shang Yao was wearing an off-white advanced custom professional suit, and while walking, she tilted her head and put on a diamond earring the size of a pigeon egg for herself.

Ruan Xiao greeted: "Aunt Shang!"

Shang Yao stepped forward a few steps: "Xiaoxiao, where are you going?"

"Go to Aye." Ruan Xiao looked Shang Yao up and down, and sincerely praised, "Aunt Shang is so beautiful."

Shang Yao smiled even more, touched his smooth and pretty face, and said, "Good boy."

He asked again, "Why are you looking for Ah Ye?"

Ruan Xiao whispered: "I want to ask him if he wants to accompany me to the provincial competition, and leave tomorrow."

"Xiaoxiao is going to participate in the provincial competition? That's great!" After Shang Yao finished her compliments, she assured Ruan Xiao, "If Xiaoxiao wants him to accompany you, he will never dare not to accompany you. you!"

Shang Yao spoke domineeringly, but Ruan Xiao knew she was joking, so she bowed her head embarrassedly: "It's not that he is required to go, it still depends on Ah Ye's intention."

"By the way." Shang Yao changed the subject, and grabbed Ruan Xiao's hand, as if for a reason, "Xiao Xiao, it's almost the end of the year..."

Ruan Xiao's eyes were confused: "Well, yes."

Shang Yao lowered her eyes, touched the back of Ruan Xiao's hand, her smile faded: "Aunt Shang doesn't know whether to say something or not."

Ruan Xiao became a little nervous, and quickly said, "Aunt Shang, if you need anything, just mention it."

"Xiaoxiao..." Shang Yao paused for a moment, then raised her head, "It's almost the end of the year, and I haven't seen any of the ten agreed upon."

Ruan Xiao: "..."

Regardless of whether Shang Yao is serious or not.

He felt the pressure of being urged by the boss to perform at the end of the year.

***

Ruan Xiao came to the opposite side of the greenhouse, which happened to face the window of Zhou Muye's room.

He leaned over the window and looked into the room, only to see Zhou Muye picking up clothes in front of the closet, and an open suitcase was placed on the sofa not far away.

It seems that Zhou Muye is also going on a long trip.

"Aye!" Ruan Xiao tiptoed and called him into the room.

Zhou Muye followed the voice and saw a small white face resting on the window sill.

He put down the hanger, walked to the desk, supported the table with one hand, and leaned over to open the window to one side.

Looking at Ruan Xiao: "What's the matter?"

"Where are you going?" Ruan Xiao glanced at the suitcase on the sofa.

Zhou Muye said: "Biological competition."

It was only then that Ruan Xiao remembered that when he was drowsy in biology class, he vaguely heard the teacher mention it. It seemed to be called the National Biology Olympiad, and the top few had to participate in international competitions.

Ruan Xiao asked, "Then when are you leaving?"

"tomorrow."

"Is that so..."

Ruan Xiao rested his chin on the back of his hand on the window sill, his small face couldn't hide his disappointment.

Zhou Muye looked at him for a while and asked, "What do you want?"

Ruan Xiao raised his eyes: "I want you to accompany me to the competition."

"When?"

"Tomorrow and the next two days are training camps, and the third day is competition."

"It happened to hit me in the race."

"Yup……"

There was a moment of silence around.

Zhou Muye raised his eyebrows arrogantly: "Must I accompany you?"

"Not necessarily..." Ruan Xiao shook his head, then nodded again, "But it's best for you..."

"why?"

"Because you were there in the only two competitions I participated in, and I won both championships."

Participated in the competition twice, and the mentality collapsed both times.

For the first time, Zhou Muye helped him find his goal and focus on the field.

The second time Zhou Muye took him to find his feelings, and talked to him backstage...

Ruan Xiao's face suddenly heated up, he quickly wiped his face, and forcibly pulled back his runaway thoughts.

Zhou Muye obviously didn't notice the strangeness in him, and said, "So superstitious? Do you regard me as a mascot?"

"Damn!" Ruan Xiao's eyes curled up, "It's kind of interesting."

Not two seconds later, eyelashes lowered slightly: "But you also have something to do... forget it, I can do it by myself."

"Okay." Zhou Muye raised his chin at him, "Children must learn to grow up on their own."

Ruan Xiao wrinkled his nose at Zhou Muye, lying on the window sill and making faces at him.

Before slipping away, he was full of energy and said, "Ah Ye, you cheer for the competition, and I will do the same!"

The next day, because he was going to the neighboring city, Ruan Xiao woke up early, before dawn, and just arrived at five o'clock, and went out to move the suitcase.

Ruan Manling was still in her pajamas, so she sent him to the entrance of the annex building.

The night before, she had already greeted Lao Jin and asked him to send Ruan Xiao to the concentration point early in the morning.

At the door, Ruan Manling explained the items in the suitcase to Ruan Xiao in detail.

It was the first time for Ruan Xiao to go far away, although he only went for three days, but Ruan Manling was reluctant to part with her, so the hug before parting seemed particularly long.

Ruan Xiao groaned and pushed the box to the door of the villa along the garden path.

The Phantom VIII was already started, waiting there.

Ruan Xiao approached and found Ah Huang squatting beside the car.

"Ah Huang, why are you here? Do you usually wake up at this time?" Ruan Xiao smiled, and stretched out his hand to A Huang, "Will you not come here to see me off?"

Ah Huang got up and ran towards Ruan Xiao, accepting Ruan Xiao's touch obediently.

At this time, Lao Jin got off the front seat, greeted him warmly, and helped Ruan Xiao move the suitcase to the trunk.

Ruan Xiao opened the car door and said to Ah Huang: "Go back, good dog, I'll be back in a few days."

As soon as the door opened, Ruan Xiao was about to get in, but he froze in place. Seeing an extra person in the back seat, his eyes opened wide, and after he realized it, he threw himself into the car.

"Ano!"

Zhou Muye was sitting in the car on his back to catch up on sleep, when he heard the movement, he opened his eyes sleepily, and looked lazily at Ruan Xiao.

Ruan Xiao was very energetic, like a little pug, kneeling on the back seat of the car, looking at Zhou Muye with a silly smile on his face.

Ruan Xiao's tone rose: "Why are you here?"

Zhou Muye said, "What do you think?"

Ruan Xiao couldn't hide the upturned corners of his mouth, sat down in the car, closed the door, and already understood what Zhou Muye meant.

My heart is full of flowers.

But Ruan Xiao was not happy for a while, and suddenly worried: "Then what about your competition?"

"The game will be the day after you." Zhou Muye continued to sleep on the seat, and said calmly, "It's okay if you don't participate in the training camp a few days ago."

Ruan Xiao was still worried: "Is it really okay?"

"Then I'll get out of the car."

When he said that, Zhou Muye put his hand on the doorknob.

"Hey, don't don't!" Ruan Xiao subconsciously grabbed Zhou Muye's arm, holding him back, lest he really open the door.

Zhou Muye tilted his head, opened one eye, and looked at him coolly.

Ruan Xiao's face flushed, and he also realized how hypocritical he was.

From Shencheng to the next city, it took a little more than an hour to drive. Since the driver of a private car saw him off, Ruan Xiao reported to Xiao Kaiyang in advance that he would go with Ah Ye, so he didn't go to the centralized point to take the bus.

For more than 40 minutes, both of them were sleeping, and then Zhou Muye woke up first.

He looked out the window and slowly rubbed the back of his neck, which made his neck a little stiff from sleep.

Not long after, Ruan Xiao opened his eyes. He put his hands on the seat, as if he was lost, and he was in a daze for a while before he was completely awake.

There was still some distance from the hotel where they were staying, and the two chatted casually.

Ruan Xiao knew that Zhou Muye had always had his own clear plan, so even though he was very good at figure skating, he still chose to withdraw from the group.

With nothing else to do, he asked, "Aye, what will you do in the future?"

"In the future..." Zhou Muye looked at the void in front of him, his mind was dull, "If nothing happens, I will inherit the family's private hospital."

Ruan Xiao heard from Xiao Kaiyang that Zhou Muye wanted to study medicine, but from Zhou Muye's own words, it felt very different.

He sincerely admired: "Ah Ye is awesome, he will be Dr. Zhou from now on."

Zhou Muye sneered and glanced over.

"Big layout." He said, "It's said to be inherited, so you have to call me Dean Zhou."

"..." Ruan Xiao lowered his head and scratched the tip of his nose, "...It's because I'm out of shape."

The heirs are really capricious.

***

After arriving at the hotel, Zhou Muye wanted to book a room by himself, but the hotel was full, so he had to obey the team's arrangement like everyone else.

Xiao Kaiyang randomly assigned rooms to everyone, and let whoever caught the ID card live together.

Ruan Xiao hurriedly ran to Zhou Muye to ask for his ID card, and made an excuse to hand in Zhou Muye's ID card by the way, turned around, pressed the two ID cards together firmly, and handed them to Xiao Kaiyang.

Xiao Kaiyang leaned against the counter, fumbling for his ID card from top to bottom, registering and calling for someone.

The result was beyond Ruan Xiao's expectation.

He shared a room with the pair skaters, and the roommate happened to be Ye Zi's partner Dongdong.

And Zhou Muye lived in a room with another single man.

Obviously, the ID cards of the two did not coincidentally match each other.

Ruan Xiao got the room card, frowned lightly, looked at the men's single from a distance, separated from the crowd, and saw that he was handing out the room card with Zhou Muye.

Ruan Xiao bit her lower lip and was about to go forward, but Dongdong called from behind: "Xiao Xiao, go up first."

Ruan Xiao turned his head, looked at Dongdong, and then at Zhou Muye's direction, suddenly felt discouraged, drooped his eyelids, dragged the suitcase weakly, and went upstairs with Dongdong.

The male single who lives in the same room with Zhou Muye is called Xiaofeng.

Xiaofeng was more enthusiastic, and discussed with Zhou Muye: "Brother, why don't you come to preach with Ruan Xiao? Do you want to sleep with him?"

Zhou Muye pulled the suitcase with one hand, and put the ID card in the card holder with one hand with some difficulty, without raising his head: "No, I'm afraid of disturbing him at night."

Xiaofeng choked for a moment, then couldn't hold back his expression, and said mournfully, "Brother, you are not afraid of disturbing me..."

Zhou Muye put away his ID card and said quietly, "It's not what you think."

Then he said, "Let's go, go upstairs first."

After the first day of training, a group of people went back to the hotel to rest after having dinner at the base.

Everyone lives in a standard room, a room with two single beds.

Xiaofeng even took out the eye mask and earplugs, in case Zhou Muye had to stay up late.

result.

Zhou Muye went to take a shower at 09:30 and went to bed at ten o'clock on time.Don't read books, don't play with mobile phones, turn off the bedside light on your side, and be quiet, you can definitely be called the best model roommate.

Xiaofeng, on the other hand, was afraid that he would disturb his rest, so he tidily packed up his things.

He squatted on the ground to take clothes from the box, searched for a while, straightened his upper body, tilted his head to think, and wondered: "Brother, he doesn't stay up late, why are you afraid of disturbing Ruan Xiao at night?"

***

Two consecutive days of training.

In the daytime of the third day, after a period of rest, everyone took the bus to the sports center to prepare for the competition.

The order of men's singles appearance is near the evening, followed by ice dance and pair skating.

Ye Zi and Dongdong won the second place in the pair skating. Although they were already very good, they were a bit disappointed.

The first is the two provincial team players.

Ruan Xiao's pressure also suddenly increased.

In the past, they were all small competitions, mostly contests between players within the Century Skating Club. It was the first time for Ruan Xiao to comprehend the demeanor of the provincial team players, and felt that they were very strong in terms of skills and temperament.

After the men's singles started, Ruan Xiao became restless.

The period of time before he played before the game was simply torture for him.

No matter how many times I persuaded myself in my heart, I still couldn't restrain my hands and feet from getting cold, my legs were weak, and my breathing was even more anxious.

Ruan Xiao hadn't changed his shoes yet, and was walking up and down the staff aisle behind the ice rink, taking deep breaths and exhaling again and again.

The more this happened, the more he thought about his own shortcomings during training.

Because the flexibility is not enough, the splits are not enough, the lower back is not deep enough, and the back pulls the leg and lifts the knife not calmly enough...

The more I think about it, the more panicked I am, lest all these problems will be exposed during the game.

While Ruan Xiao was pacing back and forth, there was the sound of idle footsteps at the end of the corridor ahead.

Ruan Xiao looked up.

Zhou Muye walked this way.

Zhou Muye walked closer and looked him up and down: "It started again?"

He is too familiar with Ruan Xiao's state.

Ruan Xiao had nothing to pretend to be in front of Zhou Muye, so he nodded in distress.

"Then what should we do?" Zhou Muye lowered his eyelashes, took out his phone and earphone case, and suggested, "How about listening to some music?"

Ruan Xiao has about a quarter of an hour to play, he can't listen to music now, and he doesn't want to listen to it.

Ruan Xiao lowered his head, frowned, and pursed the corners of his lips, wondering what he was thinking.

Zhou Muye looked at him for a while, put the earphones back into his pocket, and sighed lightly: "Go back and get ready, you're almost here."

Just as he was about to leave, his wrist was suddenly grabbed.

Zhou Muye blinked lightly, then looked up at Ruan Xiao.

Ruan Xiao's face was flushed, and the corners of his eyes were moist. He glanced at Zhou Muye, lowered his gaze, and finally forced himself to look at Zhou Muye again.

Wen Ning's voice trembled a little: "Help me find the feeling."

Zhou Muye had black hair and black pupils, and the corners of his eyes were a little cold under the light.

He asked, "How do you find the feeling?"

After speaking, he unconsciously licked his lower lip.

Obviously asking knowingly.

Ruan Xiao was still holding onto Zhou Muye's wrist, and took a step forward, his delicate face was blushing, his eyes were shining brightly, and his voice was like a mosquito humming:

"Dean Zhou, I'm nervous..."

Zhou Muye's eyes were dark, he watched him for a while, and finally moved, turned around, and walked towards Ruan Xiao at a leisurely pace.

Ruan Xiao retreated step by step, breathing a little anxiously, and under Zhou Muye's intentional guidance, he retreated to the door of the bathroom.

Zhou Muye raised one hand and pressed on the door, pushed it open and continued to move forward.

Ruan Xiao retreated to the door.

Zhou Muye followed into the bathroom and closed the door with his backhand.

"Your symptoms are a bit tricky, I have to take a good look."

"Crack-"

There was a sound of locking the door.

The author has something to say:

Zhou Muye: Dean Zhou doesn't want to, but whoever calls Dean Zhou is a benevolent doctor.
