Outside Yunyan's practice room, the willow tree by the window is growing and sprouting, with lush branches and leaves. It is becoming more and more luxuriant every day, and it is full of fresh greenness.

During the alternation of day and night, light and shadow are superimposed layer upon layer on the slim figure twirling on tiptoe from the window.

Before you know it, spring goes to summer solstice.

The days when Ruan Xiao jumped and twirled in the practice room and on the ice were like speeding up and fast forwarding.

Followed by Yunyan's "pop!" applause.

"Requiem" came to an abrupt end.

Ruan Xiaoxuan stopped in the middle of the practice room, dripping with sweat, adjusting his breathing somewhat pantingly, lowered his dignified and flat arms, and casually looked out the window.

Although the summer in the mountains is cooler than other places, the wind blowing into the room is unstoppable, and the cicadas scream wildly in this season.

The light outside was so strong that people squinted slightly.

When Ruan Xiao saw the willow tree with lush branches and leaves, he couldn't help but remember the scene when he came to Yunyan to learn ballet on the first day.

Yunyan threatened him that spring wicker is the best for beating people, because it is soft and firm.

At that time, Ruan Xiao was very frightened. Under such a strict teacher, he felt that he would not come again tomorrow.

But the fact is that he persisted from winter to summer, and half a year later, he became Yunyan's student.

Thinking of the past, Ruan Xiao slightly raised the corner of his lower lip.

The previous him was too intimidating.

The air conditioner is rarely turned on in the practice room, and an old-fashioned electric fan is hung from the top, staggering and blowing on people.

Ruan Xiao wiped off his sweat, and walked to the side to get water.

Yunyan sat on the bench and waved to Ruan Xiao: "Xiaoxiao, come here."

Ruan Xiao picked up the kettle, turned around and said "Huh?", walked quickly and sat down.

Yunyan first stared at Ruan Xiao's gorgeous little face for a while, sizing up and pondering, and seemed a little hesitant about what to say next.

The Ruan Xiao in Yunyan's eyes at this moment, compared with half a year ago, has really undergone a radical change.

Beauty, still the same beauty.

Such exquisite facial features are rare in a thousand years.

But under the body training day after day, Ruan Xiao has a calm and calm temperament.

In the past, Ruan Xiao only showed a confident side in rehearsals or competitions on the ice, but that kind of self-confidence has an element of acting, and often the original shape will appear again after the ice rink.

But it's different now. Maybe it's because the bones of the young man have been opened. No matter when the waist and limbs are in a tall and elegant state, it gives him confidence in his posture.

Now even when he gets along with others off the court, he no longer shows a timid look.

Therefore, the current Ruan Xiao is more shining than in the past, and it is harder for people to look away.

As a national treasure-level ballet dancer, Yunyan knows how rare it is for a dancer to catch people's attention.

Although Ruan Xiao is an athlete, figure skating is called ballet on ice, and it has some elements of artistic appreciation, so figure skaters also need that kind of ability.

In Yunyan's view, a person like Ruan Xiao who can easily be at the center of everyone's vision can be regarded as God chasing after him for food.

Ruan Xiao is doing very well in all aspects now, and his technology is becoming more mature, but in terms of performance style...

Yunyan sighed inwardly, lowered her head, and took out a piece of paper from her file bag: "The choreography on your side is almost finished. I'm going to see An Qiao next week. I shouldn't be able to do it before the Grand Prix in November." Come back, continue to practice with Teacher Yao, don't be lazy, I will ask her about her training progress."

Ruan Xiao smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth: "Mr. Yun, the competition is almost here, I won't be lazy."

Yunyan didn't let go, she didn't believe him, and handed him the paper.

Ruan Xiao took a sip of water, plugged the lid of the straw, took a look at the paper, and looked up: "What is this?"

Yunyan's expression was always serious, and said: "The hidden song reserved for you."

Ruan Xiao paused for a moment, confused: "Hidden songs?"

Yunyan nodded, and looked at Ruan Xiao with pale eyes: "For the next season, your main short program will still be Requiem, but for the free skating, I hope you can think about it again."

"What are you thinking about? Didn't I dance "Swan Lake"?" Ruan Xiao was still a little confused, "I've been practicing for almost two months."

"So it's a hidden track." Yunyan patted Ruan Xiao's head lightly, "This is a new track, "Black Swan", you can also understand it as the Plus version of "Swan Lake", which is the same as what you are practicing now There is no conflict, of course, you can also abandon it, this is just one more option for you."

Ruan Xiao looked at the content on the paper again, this time more carefully.

A series of English abbreviations of technical actions and the corresponding BV are written on the paper.

BV is the base score.

This is the technical composition table of the free skating program, commonly known as the sub-table, which lists a total of 12 elements stipulated by the ISU, and each element represents a technical movement.

The more difficult the technical action, the greater the corresponding basic score.

For example, if the program includes a 3T, the basic score is 4.2 points. If it is 4T, the basic score will be doubled to 9.5 points. [1]

If an athlete can complete the predetermined movements with high quality and quantity, then the higher the basic score, the higher the possibility of winning other players in the competition.

But having said that, the higher the base score, the better.

In case the determined elements exceed the strength of the athletes, or the athletes can barely achieve it, the effect of the program will be greatly reduced, and the frequency of mistakes will be increased, and the risk of deducting points will be increased, which will only outweigh the gains.

Ruan Xiao looked at the total of the final basic points on this table, it was as high as 89.56 points, more than 15 points more than the "Swan Lake" he is currently practicing!

In the composition of this table, there is a triple jump, and the action levels of other jumps also climb to higher levels.

Ruan Xiao was very confident in his jumping, and quickly asked, "Why don't you let me win this piece in the competition?"

Yunyan was silent for a while, and finally said the truth: "With your current expressiveness, you can't handle this song."

Ruan Xiao choked.

Yunyan said: "Through practice, you may be able to surpass other contestants in terms of technical scores, but in terms of program content, if you can't handle it, you will have nothing to say when the score is suppressed."

As the saying goes, in a figure skating competition, only the BV, that is, the basic score, can really be held in the hands of the athletes themselves.

The other sub-items are more or less mixed with the subjective impression of the referee, and some interests are involved, which is a bit resigned to fate.Among them, the operable space of program content is the largest.

Therefore, athletes should be as safe as possible in program preparation, leaving no loopholes.

Yunyan explained: "I am personally satisfied with the choreography of this "Black Swan", and I have always hoped to find a suitable person to perform it. In fact, this piece can also be given to other people, such as An Qiao. With his aura, it should be Can perform better than you."

Ruan Xiao immediately hummed in dissatisfaction, put his hands on his hips childishly, and dared not speak too loudly in front of Yunyan: "Why?"

Yunyan glanced at Ruan Xiao, and finally, sighed undisguisedly, raised her hand and pinched Ruan Xiao's face: "Look at you, how old you are, and you are still like a child. The style of the show you are suitable for now is all relaxed and cheerful. , the black swan is too heavy for you, you can't show it."

In short, Ruan Xiao is just a silly and sweet person, spoiled by the people around him like living in a honeypot, with little emotional experience, resulting in a too single expression style.

Ruan Xiao pursed her lips tightly and looked at the watch, with an unyielding gleam in her eyes.

"This is equivalent to two plans." Of course Yunyan knew what he was thinking, she just said, "You have to choose the one with a high base score, but also a high risk of making mistakes. You should choose the one that you can grasp...you can follow Teacher Yao discusses it."

Ruan Xiao still had another thing in mind, and said, "Then if I don't choose this song, will you give it to someone else?"

Yunyan stood up, ready to leave.

She bent down to pick up the mobile phone beside her, and said calmly, "My favorite song, of course, is reserved for you."

Ruan Xiao rubbed his face, couldn't hold back the corners of his lips, his heart was full of joy.

Yunyan then straightened her face again, tapped Ruan Xiao's head with her mobile phone, and said, "But it doesn't mean that my choreography for other people will be worse than yours. Don't go out and talk nonsense, it will ruin my reputation."

Ruan Xiao folded the paper and put it away, and smiled: "I know, Teacher Yun treats me the best."

***

From September to November, Ruan Xiao plans to apply for two international challenges.

The first stop was in Canada.

The second stop was Finland that he had agreed with Ancho.

Even to participate in B-level events like the International Challenge, each country only has a specific quota.

Before signing up, Ruan Xiao passed the open selection competition and got the qualification.

After the provincial competition, Ruan Xiao also participated in several business competitions from April to July, but it was in that public selection competition that most audiences recognized Ruan Xiao.

Compared with half a year ago, Ruan Xiao's softness and emotional expressiveness, which were often criticized by others, have made a qualitative leap. He is also more professional in the game, and finally blocked the voices of abuse.

It is precisely because of this that he can stand out among the top-notch national team players and get a ticket to enter the international arena.

In addition, there was another major event in the first half of the year, that is, Ruan Xiao graduated successfully.

By virtue of his status as a special student, he got the admission letter from the same university as Zhou Muye.

It is the top university in Shanghai.

Zhou Muye undoubtedly chose to enter medical school.

Ruan Xiao has a name under the International Education Institute.

On the day the notice was mailed, Ruan Xiao happened to be at Zhou Muye's house.

Holding the notice, he proudly ran to the bedroom, came to Zhou Muye, patted him on the shoulder, and showed off, "Ah Ye, I never thought I'd be your alumni again."

Zhou Muye let out an "oh", neither salty nor dull: "Are you happy to have a handsome alumni like me?"

Ruan Xiao held the notification letter and turned it back, and hummed: "I am honored to be an alumni with the provincial champion, concurrently, national first-level athlete, concurrently, world champion reserve player, concurrently, amazingly good-looking person, it shouldn't be you happy?"

Mei Zizi gave herself a bunch of titles, Ruan Xiao raised her face a little arrogantly, and looked at Zhou Muye.

Zhou Muye looked at Ruan Xiao for a moment, then licked his lower lip: "Ruan Xiao, you know it, right?"

"What could it be? I don't understand." Ruan Xiao shook his head, turned around, and walked out of the bedroom door with steps that his relatives did not recognize, "But thinking about it this way, I am happy for you."

But before he walked out of the door, Ruan Xiao was dragged back by the collar with a big hand, and was thrown onto the bed for repairs screaming.

Yunyan left halfway through the summer vacation, and Ruan Xiao stayed in the club every day after that, in order to welcome the Canadian Classic in mid-September.

Zhou Muye was still on summer vacation, Shen Tiancheng and others invited him to go on a graduation trip, but Zhou Muye declined.

Everyone understands everything.

It's not all because Ruan Xiao can't spare time to travel with them.

During the spare time of practicing the competition repertoire, Ruan Xiao took the time to go through the hidden repertoire that Yun Yan mentioned, "Black Swan".

It was already after school started, and the Canadian Classic was less than three days away.

Ruan Xiao stayed late that day, and combined the show with the music of "Black Swan", thinking that it was done well.

Finally, he slid to the sidelines full of anticipation and asked Coach Yao, "How is it?"

Coach Yao pondered and looked at the scoreboard, then looked at Ruan Xiao, and smiled awkwardly: "Xiao Xiao, let's choose Swan Lake, you are more suitable for a relaxed style of music."

Ruan Xiao's face collapsed, he sighed, and had to accept the reality.

He really couldn't handle a show that was too hardcore.

The author has something to say:

It was changed to "Ancho who agreed with Ancho", but it was actually "Finland".
