Shu Ran's hands clenched tightly, her eyes moved down instantly, and an indescribable nervousness washed over her brain.

Silence invaded the car and gradually enveloped her with a haze.

After pondering for a long time, and finding that Fu Yiqing was not prepared to bypass this topic, Shu Ran had to speak, "I'm worried that I won't be able to do it." ”

Fu Yiqing: "Maybe you should give it a try, don't you want to realize your dream? The bet is still valid, so you don't have to feel sorry." ”

The result of that Winter Olympics was something that no one expected.

Samantha missed out on the championship, but Nadilova, the younger sister of the same team who just turned 17, became the biggest dark horse in the Winter Olympics, successfully won the first Olympic gold medal in her life, Zhiyuan Yeka won the silver medal, the former Winter Olympic champion only won the bronze medal, and Christina finished fourth.

After the game, Quentin specially contacted Fu Yiqing and said that the statute of limitations for the bet could be extended.

If it was in the past, Fu Yiqing would definitely not accept the other party's kind alms, but this bet was about Shu Ran, so he agreed.

"Everything is still the same as before. ”

After Fu Yiqing finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Shu Ran.

The latter's hand finally let go, and just when he thought her heart was finally loose, he saw her clutching the corner of her garment.

Shu Ran: "It's different. She just muttered to herself.

Now she can't improve, there's no way to win, and four years later, at the age of 25, she's not sure she'll be able to skate any better.

Nothing lasts forever.

She was really the same, Fu Yiqing knew in his heart that the topic of the two was about to enter a dead end again, he took a deep breath and then changed the topic, "Didn't you just say that Xu Jingyu asked you to bring something?"

Shu Ran suddenly took out her mobile phone from her pocket and began to report the shopping list.

Fu Yiqing smiled helplessly and started the car engine.

In the mall, Shu Ran is very happy about this rare ordinary shopping project, plus the exotic shopping mall, even the text makes her feel novel, take a look here and there.

Fu Yiqing's phone rang, he glanced at Shu Ran, only to hear the latter say excitedly, "You go and pick it up, don't worry about me." ”

He nodded and walked out, picking up the phone.

Qin Liubei on the other end of the phone asked, "How is it?"

Fu Yiqing: "She's in a good mood today, and she's helping Xu Jingyu buy a bag." ”

Qin Liubei: "That's good, the little goldfish asked her to help bring things in order to make Shu Ran's mood better, otherwise she would stay at home all day when she was in China, and she would be sick if she wasn't sick." ”

Fu Yiqing's eyes dimmed, and he instinctively glanced at the people in the store.

It is precisely because of the one on Weibo that Shu Ran is known by more and more people, she is afraid of being recognized, so she chooses not to go out all day long, and refuses to go back to D City, Fu Yiqing thinks that she refuses to go back to D City, probably because she is afraid that she will see their lost and even disdainful eyes when she sees the old folks in D City.

Although most people will sympathize with the weak, sympathy will be consumed sooner or later.

From Coach Shu Ran's point of view, Fu Yiqing naturally doesn't want Shu Ran to return to City D, otherwise once she goes back, she will not only have to convince herself, but also her parents if she wants to return to the ice rink.

And after the Shu couple experienced a scene in the Winter Olympics, they didn't want their daughter to experience another painful baptism.

His gloomy gaze softened after meeting Shu Ran's gentle eyes, smiled at her, and continued to talk to Qin Liubei about the details of this follow-up visit.

Shu Ran finished picking out the bag for Xu Jingyu, and then turned to look at the bag.

This brand of bags is really catchy, so that Shu Ran, who has never liked to buy bags, can't help but be excited.

Her gaze lingered on the bag, eventually landing on a lilac satchel.

Shu Ran just stretched out her hand, but another hand picked up the bag one step ahead of her.

I just listened to what the other person said in Italian, and then I took my bag and looked at it in the mirror.

Shu Ran suddenly recognized the other party, and instinctively exclaimed in Chinese, "Rowling." ”

Rowling, who was comparing, turned around as if she understood Chinese, and the moment she saw Shu Ran, her eyes were also surprised, but then her eyes were stained with laughter.

Rowling laughed, "Shu Ran, it's you." ”

Although the two had chatted no more than three times before, because of their common profession and admiration for each other, the two hugged each other tightly like friends they hadn't seen for a long time.

"I didn't expect to see you here. ”

Shu Ran: "I didn't expect it either. ”

Rowling didn't look at the bag anymore, and bought it directly with the card, and then warmly invited Shu Ran to the restaurant to eat together.

Fu Yiqing happened to come over, and he saw Shu Ran's melancholy look, "Okay." ”

Shu Ran wrinkled her eyebrows and looked at him, silent.

Luo Lin didn't understand what this meant, so she looked at Fu Yiqing and only listened to him, "Is it convenient to take me with you?" She probably didn't want to leave me behind. ”

Of course, Rowling doesn't mind having one more Fu Yiqing.

The three of them then got into Fu Yiqing's car and went to an Italian restaurant that Rowling said.

Rowling: "Why didn't you play this year? ”

An unnatural look flashed in Shu Ran's eyes, and she deliberately avoided the topic, "No need, my injuries are almost over, by the way, how are you?"

Rowling raised her eyebrows, "Life after retirement is happier than I imagined, I can watch dramas and movies, go shopping, and eat whatever I want." She sighed vaguely, "But there are also unhappy places." ”

Shu Ran's face was puzzled, "What?"

Rowling: "I miss the rink, I miss training. ”

Shu Ran: "The training is hard, but now it's easier, isn't it?"

Rowling: "Well, so I'm just a little unhappy because I can't train, and most of the time I still feel happy after retiring, but I think you should understand that from childhood to adulthood, training and playing are all my life, but now I suddenly have a lot of time, and it's really boring to watch dramas and go shopping all day...... That's why I envy you for still being able to compete. ”

Shu Ran couldn't hide it anymore, and sighed, "Actually, ......"

Hearing this, Fu Yiqing, who was in the driver's seat, raised his eyes to look at the person in the rearview mirror, only to hear her say, "I'm no longer skating." ”

Rowling's face only flashed half a second of surprise, combined with Shu Ran's performance at the Winter Olympics and her current obscure expression, Rowling had already guessed most of it, and then covered up her surprise and turned the page.

During the meal, Shu Ran accidentally mentioned that the pasta in this restaurant was good, and was invited by the enthusiastic Rowling to stay at her house.

Shu Ran hurriedly cast a gaze to Fu Yiqing for help, but the latter agreed.

This stay, I really don't know when I will return.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and in just one night, the snow covered the entire city, not to mention that flights had stopped, and people's travel became a problem.

Fortunately, there was a convenience store nearby, so the three of them immediately bought food for emergencies.

Then he stayed in Rowling's house all day and didn't leave a single step.

As soon as Rowling got up and was about to go downstairs, she saw Shu Ran sitting on the windowsill in the middle of the second floor, the windowsill was only twenty centimeters above the ground, and the glass window was very large.

After a day of getting along yesterday, Rowling and Shu Ran have become friends.

She walked over and sat down, "What are you looking at?"

Shu Ran glanced at her sideways, then withdrew her gaze and continued, "There is a lot of snow here. ”

Rowling nodded and said, "I haven't had such a big snow for many years, I don't know what's going on this year, probably because of global warming?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

On the other side, Fu Yiqing, who had just woken up, turned the corner and was about to go downstairs, but found a harmonious scene on the floor-to-ceiling window.

He deliberately slowed his steps, never disturbed the two people over there, and went downstairs with a faint voice.

The smile on Rowling's face slowly faded, and the heating baked her pink, "It was not easy for me to participate in every competition back then, first of all, the general environment was not supportive, my family situation did not allow me to skate, this is not only an unpopular, but also expensive project, but I persuaded my parents to let them contribute half of the money, and the other half, I will work after the training." ”

Shu Ran looked at Rowling in surprise, she didn't know what Rowling had experienced, it was obviously such a difficult time, but when Rowling said this, even her eyes were warm.

"A player's world ranking points only count towards the two highest points in the Challenger Series, but I barely lost them because I needed money. "As long as I get a good place in every race, I can make more money and I can keep my dream going, and I think maybe it's because I don't stop racing that I get a serious injury in the back." ”

"But I don't regret it. A smile bloomed on Rowling's lips, "If not, maybe my dream would not have been able to continue for a long time, so Shu Ran, why should you give up? Your conditions are not available to most people, including your ability in artistic expression is also the top in the world at present, your coach has never given up, you haven't proven yourself with your strength, just give up, are you worthy of the former one who keeps training?"

Shu Ran looked at her for a long time, and her eyes gradually turned red.

"I want to skate too, but ......"

Rowling frowned, "What are your concerns?"

Shu Ran: "I can't win, the doctor said that I may not be able to skate better, how can an athlete who can't improve?"

"Win?"

The confusion on her face suddenly grabbed Shu Ran's heart, and something was about to come out.

Rowling shook her head, "No, you're wrong Shu Ran, the motivation to participate in the competition may be to win, but your original intention must not be because you want to win." ”

Shu Ran was stunned.

Rowling pressed her shoulder and whispered, "Didn't you start figure skating because you love skating?"

Rowling's clean, clear eyes made Shu Ran feel ashamed.

The heart was completely broken.
