Ruan Xiao hadn't thought of that elevator accident for a long time.

Zhou Muye seemed to raise a cloud in his heart, and it rained, pouring water on the dusty and dry land.

The flower from the previous life nourished and broke through the ground, clinging to it and growing, and in an instant the flowers filled the atrium.

Ruan Xiao stared at Zhou Muye, unable to calm down for a long time, his mind went back and forth thousands of times, hesitant to speak, as if he had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start, and finally he could only sigh slightly.

So you are here too...

Ruan Xiao was in the gap when his mind was overwhelmed.

Zhou Muye is still playing charades:

"After amnesia, the world became strange and strange to me."

"Mom and Dad are still the same as in the memory...not all. My mother should have a mole under her left ear, but it is gone. My father usually wears a white-faced quartz watch, but he said he has never seen it. I The structure of the room is completely unfamiliar, many medical books on the original bookshelf are gone, even Ah Huang, it is clearly in my memory, it was already in my second year of high school..."

Zhou Muye kept lowering his eyelashes to play with Ruan Xiao's hand, and there was a touch of loneliness in the corners of his eyes.

Ruan Xiao was silently startled, he never knew that Zhou Muye had experienced this.

He hooked next week's Makino's fingertip with his little finger, silently comforting him.

Zhou Muye paused briefly, licked the corner of his lips, and continued in a leisurely manner:

"When I first lost my memory, I was surrounded by this paradoxical feeling. It seemed that half of the world was right and the other half was wrong. I felt very horrified, and it took me a long time to accept it."

"But amidst all the plausibility, there is one thing I'm only familiar with..."

It seemed that he had guessed what Zhou Muye was going to say.

Ruan Xiao swallowed unconsciously, his dark pupils shone slightly, his heart was beating violently, and his voice was so loud that he felt it was noisy.

"It's his smell..."

Under the white weaving lamp, Zhou Muye's complexion was fair.

He blinked, stared blankly at Ruan Xiao's hand for a while, then slowly lowered his body and buried his face in Ruan Xiao's outstretched palm.

Ruan Xiao lowered his eyes.

The tall boy had always been strong and assertive, but now he showed a completely dependent attitude, looking extremely fragile.

Ruan Xiao's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Ah Ye...

Zhou Muye secretly took a deep breath, and the faint scent of orange blossom permeated the air.

"I don't know who he is, nor where he is..." Zhou Muye said in a low, cold voice, "But you have his scent on you, which is the only connection I have with the world before amnesia The only consolation in those early days, Xiaoxiao, you don't know what you mean to me..."

"I used to be very disturbed and scared. It was you who always surrounded me with optimism and cheerfulness, and brought me into the life here a little bit."

"So the day you moved, I was filled with fear, as if I was thrown into the wasteland of time and space, I couldn't find a place to return to, and lost all meaning..."

Ruan Xiao pursed his lips, and mist gathered in his eyes. For Zhou Muye's confession, he was more distressed than moved.

Zhou Muye's love for him was so restrained that he couldn't bear it when it was fully revealed.

He has always, always, always thought that Zhou Muye was the proud son of heaven who was going well and happy, but he never knew that under his luxurious and wanton exterior, for a long time, there was a corner that was crumbling.

Because of wearing books, they all hide the secret of their identities, and they can't open their hearts to let each other have a look.

Ruan Xiao stretched out his hand and rubbed Zhou Muye's black hair, his voice was hoarse: "Aye..."

Zhou Muye rubbed against Ruan Xiao's palm, and said softly: "I like you not because you are the champion, not because you are excellent, as long as you keep your original appearance, you are enough to be loved, I'm sorry, let me let you down now. You know...it's all because I wasn't honest enough that I put you under inexplicable pressure."

"Aye..."

Ruan Xiao called again.

"Huh?" Zhou Muye raised his head from Ruan Xiao's palm and looked at him.

The tails of Ruan Xiao's eyes were a little moist and pinkish.

He looked at Zhou Muye, sniffed, and suddenly burst into a relieved smile: "I also have something I didn't confess to you."

Zhou Muye leaned forward, raised his hand to wipe the corners of Ruan Xiao's eyes, and sat upright again: "What?"

The corners of Ruan Xiao's mouth twitched, but his eyes were misty again: "I've always wanted to ask you for a WeChat ID."

Zhou Muye looked at him quietly, at a certain moment, his brows frowned slightly, and when he opened them again, his dark and cold eyes seemed to be melting like glaciers.

I believe that one look is enough for Zhou Muye to understand.

But Ruan Xiao continued: "I was in Joy City, I chased you into the elevator, but I didn't have the courage to speak up, and I was afraid that you would think it was strange, so I kept my back to you and hid in the corner...but I really wanted to ask you If you want WeChat, I accidentally glanced at you and want to know you very much."

Zhou Muye lowered his eyes, licked his lower lip as if helpless, opened his mouth, but didn't say a word, but when he held Ruan Xiao's hand, his strength was very tight.

Ruan Xiao stretched out his other hand, and passed it to Zhou Muye in a standard handshake gesture, showing his small white teeth in a smile: "Hello, my name is Ruan Xiao."

Strictly speaking, this is the first time the two have met since the elevator crash.

Not a fool, not a scumbag.

It was Ruan Xiao and Zhou Muye.

Zhou Muye glanced at Ruan Xiao, his eyes were also reddish.

He smiled slightly, and took the offered hand.

When he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse: "Hello, my name is Zhou Muye."

In the deserted corridor, the two people at the end sat facing each other in the corner, maintaining the same handshake posture, but the intertwined eyes of the two revealed more and more complicated emotions.

Suddenly at a certain moment, Zhou Muye took Ruan Xiao's hand.

Under the irresistible force, Ruan Xiao knelt up and jumped forward, being held tightly in Zhou Muye's arms.

Under such force, Ruan Xiao felt that his bones were about to be broken.

Zhou Muye buried his face deeply in Ruan Xiao's neck, smelling the smell of orange blossom, his voice became very small: "Is that you..."

Ruan Xiao also hugged Zhou Muye with all his strength, shrunk his thin shoulders, and nodded with a smile.

Ruan Xiao finally understands why this is not a novel about abusing a double.

Because from beginning to end, Zha Gong was the first person he fell in love with.

They came to this world together, there was only each other, there was no such bloody sadomasochistic relationship, he, Ruan Xiao, was never someone's stand-in.

At this time, Zhou Muye arched Ruan Xiao's neck again, and said in a low voice, "Thank you..."

Because it was Ruan Xiao, he hugged him tightly during the darkest few seconds of the elevator.

Even in the days that followed, it was the same.

***

On the last day of the grand prix, Yunyan put on makeup for Ruan Xiao backstage.

The powder puff leaked a lot of powder on the face. Ruan Xiao was choked and coughed, and turned his head in pain: "Mr. Yun, it's okay, don't be so white! No one puts on makeup! I don't want to wear makeup!"

Men’s figure skating is not like women’s singles. Basically no one wears makeup during the competition. Everyone pays attention to the body of jumping and skating on the court, and rarely pays attention to the faces of male players.

Ruan Xiao didn't wear makeup in games before, but today Yunyan asked him to wear makeup, which made him feel very embarrassed.

So he looked away, and while Yunyan was not paying attention, he quickly picked up a wet towel and wiped it indiscriminately.

Yunyan scolded Ruan Xiao, blocked his hand, and was about to scold, but glanced at Ruan Xiao's face, and was surprised to find that under the bright light of the mirror lamp, Ruan Xiao's snow-white skin was translucent and powdered. In the end, it would darken the luster on his face and make it look heavy.

Yunyan wondered for a moment, and compared the two, she truly realized how good Ruan Xiao's skin is.

Originally, she thought that the black swan was white enough, but looking at Ruan Xiao's face, it was whiter than the foundation in her hands, and it was so white that it was naturally radiant.

So she stopped insisting and nodded: "Primary skin is better..."

Yunyan only took out the pearlescent loose powder, and randomly swept a layer on the corners of Ruan Xiao's facial features to increase the transparency of the skin.

Then there's eyeliner.

Once the eyeliner was drawn, those dark eyes deepened, adding a sharp aura to Ruan Xiao's gentle eyebrows.

Yunyan raised Ruan Xiao's face with one hand, and nodded very satisfied.

She pursues the perfection of details, and this "Black Swan" program has placed great expectations on her, so today Ruan Xiao personally checks everything from clothing to hairstyle to makeup.

But suddenly, Yunyan saw something, and frowned severely: "Why is your mouth broken?"

Ruan Xiao immediately pursed his upper lip, and glanced to the side guiltily.

If she had put on powder, it would have concealed a little of the blush on her face, but now her face was completely red.

Ruan Xiao just squeezed the wound on his lips, and spoke in a buzzing voice, unable to articulate words clearly: "Wrestling...knock...knock..."

The sore on the lip had scabbed over, the only blemish on that perfect face.

Yunyan felt very tight in her chest, so she mixed a natural lipstick color and applied a layer on Ruan Xiao's lips.

Because of the third place in the short program, Ruan Xiao played in the last group, commonly known as the death group.

Because those who are ranked in this group are the most likely to win the Grand Prix of this site.

The result of the lottery in this group was that Bai Xiyu was the first to play, and Ruan Xiao was the third behind him.

Ruan Xiao came out of the backstage and came to the waiting area. He hasn't reached the last group yet, but when the two contestants are finished, Bai Xiyu will be on the stage.

There was a TV in the waiting area, Ruan Xiao found a place to sit down, and watched the live broadcast on the screen.

He was too intent on watching, so what he didn't notice was that when he appeared, everyone in the room looked at him in unison.

Everyone was amazed.

Ruan Xiao's upper body clothing is pure black, with feathers collaged on it, so it has a sense of design. The feathers on the sleeves are arranged like tassels. When you open your arms, it seems that you really have wings.

The neckline cut out a piece of transparent fabric that was almost straight, fully exposing the slender and slender neck, the flattened collarbone, and the thin shoulders.

The whole outfit is very elegant and a little sexy at the same time.

Coupled with Ruan Xiao's delicate and beautiful face, it is impossible to tell whether it is the clothes that set off the person or the person that sets off the clothes.

An Qiao was also waiting to play. He sat in the last row, looked at Ruan Xiao for a while, and whistled boldly.

Ruan Xiao heard the voice, turned around, saw that it was An Qiao, was at a loss, pointed at himself, with a question mark on his face.

An Qiao raised his chin at him and reminded him, "Clothes."

Ruan Xiao crossed his arms and looked left and right, and finally smiled at An Qiao with squinted eyes, looking a little embarrassed: "Does he look like a birdman?"

An Qiao: "..."

Suddenly, I felt that it was a waste to wear such an exquisite performance costume on Ruan Xiao.

The time for each player to go on and off the field is very fast.

Ruan Xiao watched the broadcast for a while, then stood up, raised one leg backwards, and did warm-up exercises to activate the muscles and bones.

Finally, Bai Xiyu came on stage.

Ruan Xiao's expression gradually calmed down, and gradually became serious. While pressing his legs, he was staring at the broadcast on TV.

Bai Xiyu's free skating program is in progress.

Bai Xiyu's skills in all aspects are approaching maturity. Compared with a year ago, his expressiveness, flexibility, stability, and jumping level have all risen by more than one notch.

Ruan Xiao gradually understood that Bai Xiyu was more mature than An Qiao in all aspects, and he was more likely to win the championship.

Regardless of Bai Xiyu's personality, he has indeed maintained a high level in figure skating.

But when thinking this way, Ruan Xiao no longer had any negative emotions of jealousy or unwillingness in his heart, but was filled with an unprecedented excitement.

Since he no longer doubted himself and was no longer disturbed by other emotions, this was the first time he had the consciousness of being born in the arena.

Ruan Xiao got up at this time, but suddenly leaned to the side, and quickly supported the back of the chair beside him, at the same time, he felt a heart-piercing pain from his left ankle.

Ruan Xiao's forehead was suddenly covered with a layer of cold sweat, and his fingers were clenched tightly.

On the side, a foreign player noticed his abnormality and asked something in English.

Although Ruan Xiao didn't understand, he knew he was concerned by his expression, so he shook his head.

Then, he picked up the sports bag on the side, and finally took a look at Bai Xiyu's figure on the TV.

The show is coming to an end, and Bai Xiyu has completed all the jumps.

Ruan Xiao counted just now, there are four quadruple jumps in total.

It's pretty much the same as his program.

The basic points of the two of them will not be much different.

Ruan Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, then hurried out with the bag.

Before playing, Ruan Xiao found an empty corner and tied a sports bandage on his ankle.

He leaned against the wall to rest for a while, and then put on his skates.

The ankle deteriorated day by day, and instead of being swollen, it was turning a terrifying purple color.

At first, Ruan Xiao didn't take it seriously, so he didn't tell the coach or let anyone know.

Now, he dare not tell.

Ruan Xiao could vaguely guess that if he said that he had an ankle problem now, the coach might be the first to object to him playing.

Ruan Xiao stuffed his swollen ankle into the skate shoe, took a few breaths, and then tightened the shoelace tightly.

Only 4 minutes on the field.

It's only 4 minutes, he can hold on.

***

When the previous contestant was halfway through the performance, Ruan Xiao came to the sidelines of the arena.

He looked at the big screen in front of his eyes, and Bai Xiyu's score was displayed on it.

The technical score is 100.28, and the program content is 85.57.

Bai Xiyu made a mistake in a quadruple hook jump and a triple axel, and some execution points were deducted, but it is not easy to achieve such a result.

Ruan Xiao silently calculated that Bai Xiyu's short program was nearly 110 points higher than his, that is to say, his technical score in the free skating had to reach a minimum of [-] points in order to win.

However, having said that, it is almost impossible for a new figure skating player.

So far, men's singles free skating technical points can reach 100 points, which is already rare.

If you can reach 110 points, you can directly leave your name on the high score list of the skating union. In the whole season, no more than one hand can score 110 points.

Knowing that this was the case, Ruan Xiao was inevitably nervous. He loosened his arms and let out a breath, but he still had confidence in himself.

"I'm Ruan Xiao..."

Ruan Xiao muttered secretly.

Although he knew that he was nothing, but when he said this, he suddenly increased a lot of arrogance.

At this time, a person next to him bumped him with his arm.

Ruan Xiao turned his face away and slammed into a pair of dark and alienated eyes.

It's Zhou Muye.

Wearing his work ID, Zhou Muye looked him up and down, and whistled lightly like a hooligan.

Ruan Xiao saw appreciation in Zhou Muye's eyes, and his heart swelled infinitely instantly.

He suppressed his laugh and deliberately pretended to be indifferent: "Why?"

Zhou Muye pulled the corner of his lips lightly: "Birdman."

Ruan Xiao: "..."

Anger rose from his heart for a moment, and he slammed Zhou Muye to the side.

"Go away!" Ruan Xiao frowned and muttered, "I hate it."

Xiao Kaiyang didn't know when he appeared, and smacked Zhou Muye with the brochure rolled up in his hand: "Don't bully our player Ruan."

With someone backing him up, Ruan Xiao made a face at Zhou Muye.

Zhou Muye held Ruan Xiao's arm with one hand, and said lightly to Xiao Kaiyang, "I'll have a word with him."

Ruan Xiao turned to Zhou Muye: "What are you talking about?"

Zhou Muye bent his back and leaned against Ruan Xiao's ear.

Ruan Xiao's breath made it itchy.

Zhou Muye's usual cold voice softened: "Today is beautiful."

Ruan Xiao lowered his head, with enthusiasm on his face, he thought for a while, then turned his face slightly to look at Zhou Muye.

After putting on makeup, Jianshui Qiutong seems to have a hook, provoking the apex of people's hearts.

"Will you keep looking at me?"

Zhou Muye and Ruan Xiao looked at each other for a moment, and said, "Yes."

Ruan Xiao tilted his head slightly: "If I can complete four quadruple jumps without making mistakes, will you be proud of me?"

Using the misplaced cover, Zhou Muye placed a light kiss on his cheek: "I've always been proud of you..."

At this time, the results of the previous contestant were announced, and the audience rejoiced.

Announcements in the arena prompt the next player to enter.

Ruan Xiao held on to the guardrail at the side, and when he stepped on the skates and stepped into the court, he looked back at Zhou Muye.

He raised his jaw slightly, smiled, and announced, "Aye, I want to complete five."

Ruan Xiao has little experience in competitions, so he dare not say anything, but he knows that if he can complete five quadruple jumps, his hope of scoring 110 points will be greatly increased, and he may even be able to score 115 points.

The content of the program is based on the referee's preferences, and it is too operable. Ruan Xiao has to use the actual basic points to fight on the field without leaving the slightest regret.

Zhou Muye slightly raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Kaiyang panicked: "What five? Ah? What five?"

The composition of the program is fixed in advance, and only in rare cases will some contestants change the composition on the spot. This needs to be calculated while skating while competing, which requires extremely high psychological quality and technical level of the contestants. Well, it will overturn.

Xiao Kaiyang hoped that what Ruan Xiao said was not what he thought.

But Ruan Xiao has already slid onto the stage like a light swan.

When Ruan Xiao appeared in the audience's field of vision, the noise in the auditorium was particularly loud.

Ruan Xiao went around the field, skating in a way he liked, taking advantage of the last bit of time before the start to familiarize himself with the field and make adjustments.

Although the ankle was swollen and painful, but because of the bandage, he got some psychological comfort and felt safe.

The pain is not unbearable in the face of the excitement about to start the game.

Finally, Ruan Xiao stood in the center of the ice rink, closed his eyes, raised his arms, and placed them parallel in front of his eyes.

The venue with tens of thousands of people gradually fell silent.

Ruan Xiao's face was calm and peaceful, like a swan sleeping on the lake.

But when the music started, Ruan Xiao suddenly opened his eyes.

Under the angle of view framed by the arm, the light from those eyes is sharp, lonely, and full of rebellion.

In the grand orchestral music, Ruan Xiao almost relied on the memory of his body to step forward, spread his arms, and make dance movements in line with the music.

After a period of smooth connecting footwork, he jumped with a point blade, and a piece of ice mist rose under his feet. With a Philips quadruple jump with a score of 15.01, he won applause from the audience and started the free skating program.

Ruan Xiao's small face was cold, and the emotions displayed perfectly fit the music.

But at the moment, he was thinking in a daze.

What can support him to complete the program may not be strong jealousy, paranoid unwillingness, and strong desire to conquer.

It should be...something called love and companionship.

Because he felt the love from his coaches, friends, family and Ah Ye, it seemed that there was no more difficult road in the world.

He also has more energy and willpower than before.

Ruan Xiao turned around and jumped to catch the footwork, looking at the dark side of the court aggressively and brightly.

I thought to myself, five quadruple jumps after the game.

Fried chicken is a must tonight.

The author has something to say:

Changed the score of Philip's quadruple jump to 15.01. It was originally written as 16.28, which is a bit crazy and can't reach such a high level.
