Chapter Seventy-Nine: Only Ice Skating
The latest variety show was playing on the TV in the ward, and the father and daughter watched TV together while having breakfast for the first time in a long time.
"This is delicious, Dad, you can taste it. Shu Ran pushed the tofu brain in front of him.
Shu Yutian sniffed it, frowned, and took a tentative sip, his brows furrowed even deeper.
Shu Ran asked again, "Dad, you came alone, what should the company do?"
Shu Yutian said casually, "Who said I came alone? Your mother is here too." ”
Shu Ran: "Where's my mother?"
"I didn't close my eyes all night last night, and your coach sent her to rest, and I'll come to see you when I wake up later. ”
Shu Ran looked frightened, and hurriedly put down the spoon and folded her hands, "Dad, I'll discuss something with you, if my mother doesn't agree with me skating later, can you help me say something nice to persuade her?"
Shu Yutian scooped up a spoonful of porridge and didn't put it in his mouth for a long time.
He looked up, his expression was not as relaxed as just now, "Ranran, I came with your mother this time to take you home." ”
Taking her home, the implication is nothing more than to let her leave the team.
Shu Ran simply pretended not to understand, "Dad, you also see my current situation, probably inconvenient to move." "She can't go back.
At least she can't go back in this situation, otherwise if she returns to D City, her parents will definitely let her give up her figure skating dream as much as possible.
"Ranran, what do you and your mother mean......" Shu Yutian hesitated a little, but continued to say, "I want you to quit the team, we are for your own good, you are still young, it is your luck to fully recover this time, but how can you often stand by the river without getting your shoes wet? If you slide like this again, what will you do if something happens to you again one day?"
Shu Ran didn't make a sound, she was still steaming and fragrant earlier, but she had lost her appetite.
Shu Yutian continued to persuade: "At least, you should also think about me and your mother, yesterday I watched the live broadcast with your mother on TV, and when I saw you fall, how worried we were about you, your mother and her ......" He suddenly felt like a fish in his throat.
Such a strong person, for a moment, his voice was also trembling.
Shu Ran had never seen her father look like this, at least in her memory, something like this had never happened.
Shu Yutian took a deep breath and returned to his usual expression, "The World Championships are over, next year is the Winter Olympics, you are 20 years old, do you still want to participate in the next Winter Olympics in another four years?"
Shu Ran shook her head and explained, "No, Dad, there is still the Olympic qualifier, and I must participate in the Winter Olympics next year." ”
Shu Yutian suddenly realized, obviously he didn't know that there was still an Olympic qualifying tournament, but he also quickly discovered the crux of the problem, "When is the losing qualifying tournament?"
She was suddenly silenced.
Six months later.
She couldn't say.
It will take five months to fully recover, and after five months to devote himself to training, it is clear that my father will not agree.
But even if Shu Ran didn't say it, Shu Yutian could guess the answer.
The defeat must have been before the Winter Olympics, and now there are eleven months left until next year's Winter Olympics.
In his opinion, Shu Ran's resumption of training after rehabilitation is undoubtedly accelerating the life of his foot.
"What happened before, it's all in the past, we won't talk about it, in short, in the future. Shu Yutian's attitude was very resolute, "We don't want to worry about you every day, I will find a high school to help you enroll, and then ask a tutor to help you with your homework, you take the college entrance examination to go to university, if you think the domestic university is boring, I can also let you study abroad, where do you want to study, tell Dad, Dad will help you solve it." ”
Seeing that Shu Ran still lowered her head and did not react, Shu Yutian moved her eyes closer to her daughter, "Huh?"
"I don't want to study abroad. ”
Shu Yutian breathed a sigh of relief, "Then don't study abroad." ”
"I just want to skate. ”
Shu Yutian's brows furrowed again, and even his kind expression became gloomy.
He got up a little angrily, "No matter what you say this time, we won't let you go on willfully, your mother is here, I'll pick her up." ”
"Dad—"
Shu Ran's tone was almost pleading, but Shu Yutian only paused for a moment, and then pushed the door out without saying anything.
Shu Ran was still alone in the ward, and the laughter of the guests on the TV show was suddenly full of irony.
They soon returned, along with Fu Yiqing.
Shao Anhong took out all kinds of fruit snacks from the shopping bag, and even some children's toys, "Ranran, if you are bored in bed during this time, just play this, puzzles, reading books, ......"
There were four people in the ward, one lying on the bed with his back to everyone, and only Shao Anhong was the only one of the other three who was enthusiastically explaining the purpose of the contents of the shopping bag.
She kept talking, as if she didn't want to give anyone a chance to interject, as if she was hiding from something.
Fu Yiqing realized that the atmosphere was a little weird, so he walked farther away, leaning against the wall, trying to reduce his sense of presence and not getting involved in the family's family affairs.
"Figure skating. ”
Shu Ran's voice on the bed is not bright, but the muffled voice is not easy to ignore.
Shao Anhong smiled, "Painting, yes, do you want to learn Chinese painting, gouache painting or what? Mom doesn't know much about this, but if you're interested, ask your dad to find you a teacher." ”
"I love skating. Shu Ran turned her head, "Mom and Dad, all I like is ice skating." ”
"You kid, you haven't tried any other hobbies yet, how do you know that you only like this one?" Shao Anhong's blame also carried pity, "Be obedient, when you go back, you can learn whatever you want." ”
"Maybe I'll have other hobbies, but skating is different, Mom, I know that you and Dad are here to retire me, but I'm really fine, and I'm not going to risk my lame leg to skate, and I'll resume training when my leg is better, you can rest assured." ”
Shao Anhong stopped taking things from the shopping bag and sat down with her arms down.
The Shu couple were silent.
"I know you're worried that my leg will be lame, but if I give up now, I'm really unwilling, very unwilling. Her eyes were reddened and she was agitated.
She has been practicing figure skating for 14 years, and this relationship is different from any hobby.
Fourteen years, how many fourteen years are there in life?
She has finally come to this point, how can she be willing to give up now?
"Mom and Dad, please promise me, okay? I've never asked you for anything, but this time, I hope you can understand my feelings. ”
There was a long silence.
Shu Yutian looked at his wife's back, and then looked at his daughter with tears in her eyes, and she couldn't bear the words of persuasion when they came to her mouth.
Whether you agree or not, it's for the good of your daughter, and this decision is too difficult.
"Then mom also begs you for one thing, give up, just think about me and your father, can you think about the two of us?" Shao Anhong suddenly spoke, but she still hung her head and her voice was choked.
Fu Yiqing left the ward quietly, as an outsider, he should not interfere in this matter no matter what.
But no matter what decision Shu Ran makes in the end, he will respect her decision, and will do his best to help her in the field he is good at in the future.
Shao Anhong couldn't calm down anymore, "Do you know the feeling when we stand in front of the TV and see you fall and be sent away, but you can't do anything? We don't ask you to be rich and rich, as long as you are healthy and safe, do anything, don't skate." ”
The mother and daughter looked at each other, and four lines of tears slipped down their eyes.
The first time she heard her mother confide in her heart, Shu Ran wanted to compromise for a moment, but she still gritted her teeth and turned her face away from them again.
"Either way, it's my choice whether to retire or not, I'm an adult and can take responsibility for my choice. She spoke firmly.
Shu Yutian had long expected this result, "Let's go out and let her think about it." Then he stepped forward and put his arm around his wife's shoulders and walked out of the ward.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Shu Ran couldn't control it anymore, and tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Even the family members who care about her the most do not agree with her to continue to chase her dreams, as if she has lost her backbone, and it seems that she has something in her heart.
The sound of paper pumping disturbed Shu Ran, who was sad, she thought that her parents were back, so she sniffed and wiped her tears with the back of her hand.
A tissue was delivered to her cheek from the other side, wiping her tears.
Shu Ran silently took the tissue to wipe her tears, and the tears continued to flow out, she tried her best to hold back, but she couldn't control the twitching shoulder.
A hand patted her on the back, as if to help her soothe the pain, not only physically, but also psychologically.
She never turned her head, afraid that her father would see her tear-stained face, and she was afraid of seeing the distress in his eyes.
Finally no longer so aggrieved, she hardened her tone, "I won't retire." ”
"Good. ”
Sound......
Shu Ran turned her head and saw Fu Yiqing sitting on the edge of her bed helping her hand her tissues.
She's out of the picture.
Maybe it was because Fu Yiqing didn't say anything, or maybe his eyes were too unbearable.
The grievances that had just retreated rolled over the beach like a tidal wave.
Shu Ran's nose was sour, and her vision was blurred by tears.
Fu Yiqing was still silent, and no longer handed over tissues, but directly helped her wipe her tears.
Fu Yiqing suddenly thought of the lines in a film and television drama.
The stronger the person, the less likely she will be to cry, but once she is willing to show her tears, then the other party must be the softest existence in her heart.
From crying to sobbing uncontrollably.
I don't know how long I cried, but Shu Ran finally stopped crying.
She looked at Fu Yiqing at this time, as if she was regretting that she had lost her temper, "Didn't I cry ugly just now?"
Fu Yiqing hooked his lips and smiled lightly and shook his head.
"Are you hungry?" he asked, but never said anything about her and her parents.
Shu Ran really didn't want to talk about what happened just now at this time, and couldn't help but feel that Fu Yiqing's approach was more heartwarming, she shook her head, "I've already eaten it." ”
Fu Yiqing looked down at his watch, "It's past five o'clock, get some sleep?"
Shu Ran: "Sleep again?"
Fu Yiqing was amused by her overly excited reaction, and the corners of her lips rose, "Tell you another story?"
Shu Ran put her hand into the quilt and prepared to sleep, "What are you talking about this time?"
"Confucius's 'know what you can't do'. ”
Shu Ran's brows were folded, her eyes rolled a few times, and there was a smile in her eyes, "Now you talk with such a twist and turn?"
Fu Yiqing smiled lightly, not admitting or denying it.
Shu Ran sighed, "If my parents don't agree, what should I do?"
"They'll say yes. ”
Fu Yiqing's confident tone seemed to have convinced them, Shu Ran took a long breath, didn't say anything, closed his eyes, "Now, I'm going to listen to the story." ”
