Shu Ran decided to ask.

However, when the words came to her lips, Shu Ran did not knock on Fu Yiqing's door for a long time.

If the team really planned to leave that quota to her, then Fu Yiqing would definitely be informed, and the fact was that Fu Yiqing did not tell her.

Either she was wrong, or Fu Yiqing didn't want her to compete.

At the Winter Olympics, her abandonment of skating not only made netizens turn black about her, but even the Ice Association also had opinions about her.

And Fu Yiqing also said that the resumption of training is temporarily kept secret from the outside world, so no matter which guess it is, the probability accounts for 50% each.

After thinking about it, Shu Ran still contacted Huo Guang.

After not talking to Huo Guang for a long time, Shu Ran couldn't help but start to get nervous, and after hearing the sound of "Hey", her heart was mentioned, and she stopped beating around the bush, "Coach Huo, I'm Shu Ran." ”

Huo Guang was also very helpless about the abandonment of skating, although in the eyes of others, Shu Ran was training under his jurisdiction, but in fact, he couldn't get past Fu Yiqing's face at all, those people on his head didn't know about the ISU experiment, plus before the Winter Olympics, someone above had proposed to use other players to play for Shu Ran, but Huo Guang said that Shu Ran's injury was not serious, and there was indeed no player in the team in the women's singles with better results than Shu Ran, so after listening to Huo Guang's words, he also acquiesced to the fact that Shu Ran participated.

As a result, Shu Ran's performance slapped Huo Guang's face hard, and he was criticized for it.

Afterwards, Shu Ran also played missing, so Huo Guang still felt a little guilty in his heart.

But now it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the reunion of his family made him feel good now, so he thought that Shu Ran was here to send New Year's wishes, and his tone softened for a while, "What's wrong?"

Shu Ran pinched her phone, hesitated for a while, and said, "Coach Huo, in the World Team Championships in April, is there still a shortage of one person in the women's singles to participate in the competition?"

The smile on Huo Guang's face froze instantly.

And then those complaints arose.

He paused, his tone inexplicably changing slightly, "It's really not enough." ”

Shu Ran: "That's ......"

"Shu Ran. Huo Guang couldn't help but interrupt, "Although it's not enough, the team can also be selected from the local team, but if you want to participate, it's very difficult." ”

Shu Ran chuckled in her heart, she hadn't digested this fact yet, she just listened to the other party continue, "Two years ago, at the Winter Olympics, because I knew that you were seriously injured, the General Administration originally planned to send another player to participate, and they didn't know Fu Yiqing's purpose as your coach, so I tried my best to protect you, so they dispelled their thoughts, and in the end, your performance was ......" Huo Guang stopped here, and Shu Ran also understood what he meant.

"But fortunately, Fu Yiqing is your coach, so you don't have to worry about international competitions, but this time in the World Team Championships, if you are allowed to play, even if they have no opinion, I'm afraid netizens will make trouble again. ”

I didn't hear Shu Ran's movement on the other end of the phone for a long time, thinking that Shu Ran's coach was Fu Yiqing, and thinking that Shu Ran had fought for so many honors for the national team.

The human heart is always fleshy.

Huo Guang sighed, "If you really want to participate in this competition, unless you tell the General Administration about the ISU experiment. ”

Shu Ran pursed her lips tightly.

I didn't say it at the beginning, and I can't say it now.

After a pause, Shu Ran said, "It's okay, Coach Huo, you don't have to comfort me, it was indeed what I did wrong at the beginning." ”

Although it was Fu Yiqing who asked her to retire from the competition, in fact, even if she finished the competition with hard work, it would definitely be the most embarrassing result in history.

In a sense, instead of making the audience disappointed, it is better to make them angry, at least in this way, she can still retain a trace of face, so that she can get more good resource training after recovering from her injury.

didn't expect that the road to recuperation was not so easy, and it also led to a detour in her thinking.

When he hung up the phone, he heard Huo Guang suddenly say, "Actually, it's not that there is no other way. ”

Shu Ran put the earpiece to her ear, "What?"

Huo Guang: "You can fight for the qualification for this World Team Championship. ”

Shu Ran turned her eyes and thought, "World Championships?"

Huo Guang: "Well, the World Championships are in March, as long as your performance at the World Championships can restore the trust of the Ice Association in you, then it will be much easier for you to represent the national team in international competitions in the future." ”

If you want to participate in the World Championships, minus the four days of early departure, Shu Ran will only have 40 days of training time.

Fu Yiqing has his plan, and he probably won't agree to let her appear in the public eye at a time when her state is not stable.

Shu Ran herself was not ready.

"Can I think about it for a few more days?"

Huo Guangwan, "Of course. ”

On Chinese New Year's Eve, thousands of homes are brightly lit and the family is reunited, but Shu Ran has already begun a new wave of her worries.

The Shu couple returned to D City on the third day, and if it weren't for Shu Ran's training, they would have wanted to stay at Fu Yiqing's house for a few more days.

Training every day is boring.

Shu Ran suddenly remembered the time when Qin Liubei gags, talking and laughing, and the boring training just passed.

However, a day later, Shu Ran not only did not wait to come to Qin Liubei, but Fu Yiqing also left.

Due to the hasty notification from the ISU, Fu Yiqing didn't have time to pack his luggage at all.

Half an hour before departure, Fu Yiqing said to Shu Ran: "Listen, I'm not sure how many days I'm going to go now, when I'm not there, you will train according to the usual mode, Qin Liubei is also on the way to the headquarters, I have already informed Xu Jingyu, she should arrive this afternoon or tomorrow morning." ”

Shu Ran once had a feeling of being told by her parents who were away from home how to deal with things alone.

"Got it?"

Shu Ran nodded obediently.

Xu Jingyu didn't come for a while, so Shu Ran warmed up alone in the dance studio to practice ballet.

The dance studio is not big, and she is only reflected in the bright mirror, and her small figure highlights the emptiness of the dance studio.

Shu Ran practiced her flexibility for a while, then put down her legs, connected her mobile phone to the portable stereo, and picked a song to dance hip-hop.

The music was very noisy, and the intense dance movements made Shu Ran's body warm up, and the sweat on her head flowed straight to her eyes.

She wiped the beads of sweat from her brow bone with the back of her hand, and then instinctively walked to the only stool in the dance room and waited to get a tissue.

There was nothing on the stool.

Shu Ran's hand pulling out the paper was empty, and she suddenly realized that Fu Yiqing usually took the paper towel, but when he was not there, she forgot to take the paper.

She looked up at herself in the mirror, sweating profusely, and shook her head and smiled helplessly.

After accepting the warm-up, Shu Ran finally got on the ice to practice skating.

On the huge ice, only the sound of her skate blades slicing through the ice can be heard, and the sound is infinitely amplified, and the loneliness is also amplified.

After Xu Jingyu's arrival, the situation finally improved.

Early the next morning, eating breakfast, Xu Jingyu wrinkled her eyebrows, "So, even you don't know the reason why Qin Liubei and them returned to ISU?"

Shu Ran nodded, "It should be that the notice was too urgent, and they didn't have time to talk about it." ”

Xu Jingyu nodded in agreement, "Or maybe they don't even know what's going on, so they just let them go over first...... Alas, it is also not known when they will return. ”

These words turned on Shu Ran's imagination switch.

At the end of the morning training, Xu Jingyu received a call from Qin Liubei.

After repeated inquiries, I learned that it was the annual meeting of the ISU Board of Governors.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Shu Ran couldn't help but lean over, "If it's a meeting that is held every year, then why is the notice so sudden this year?"

Xu Jingyu was reminded, accentuated her tone, and repeated, "Yes, why?"

I only heard a helpless bitter smile that I couldn't cry or laugh, and then I heard Qin Liubei Dao, "It's about gambling." ”

He paused for a second to organize the language before continuing, "Because Quentin and Lao Fu are from ISU, they should be neutral, but now they are the coaches of the French and Chinese teams respectively, and some people doubt the fairness of their positions, so it has caused controversy." ”

Shu Ran and Xu Jingyu were silent, and after a long time, they continued to inquire about the current situation within the council, but they were rejected by Qin Liubei.

His voice had a rare seriousness, "Shu Ran, Jingyu, it's not that I won't tell you, it's just that if I say it, then it really proves that those people's suspicions are right." ”

Shu Ran: "Then, you just have to tell me, have I caused trouble for Coach Fu?"

She instinctively grabbed the corner of her clothes, for fear that Fu Yiqing would be punished because of herself.

But I heard the other end laugh out loud, "Shu Ran, what are you talking about? The reason is their gambling contract, and the old man bet with Quentin that he didn't know you at that time!"

The relaxed atmosphere and laughter allowed Shu Ran to breathe a sigh of relief, and she calmed down, "That's good." ”

Seeing her natural expression, Xu Jingyu took back her mobile phone and asked, "Then when will you come back?"

Qin Liubei: "I don't know, it probably will take about a month." ”

Hearing this, Shu Ran's heart moved, turned around and walked upstairs quickly, and the figure disappeared from Xu Jingyu's field of vision.

Xu Jingyu, who was in a state of confusion, finished the phone call, and saw that Shu Ran hadn't gone downstairs yet, so she couldn't help but go upstairs to urge her to train, "Shu Ran, let me say it first, although your coach is not there, but I won't allow you to touch the fish, you still have to train when it's time to train, don't look at the computer......"

Xu Jingyu approached, only to find that a figure skating video was playing on the computer screen.

She lowered her back and was surprised to find that the person in the video was very familiar, "This is ...... Belus?"

Shu Ran: "Well, this is the short program and free skate program that he sent me after the Winter Olympics, I haven't watched it for the year I was suspended, and I only took it out to practice in June this year, and I didn't practice much, but there are still nearly 40 days, and it's enough in general." ”

Xu Jingyu heard it in a fog, "What forty days?"

This time, Shu Ran did not answer her question immediately, but after watching the video, she said, "I decided to participate in the World Championships in March." ”

Xu Jingyu was stunned for half a second, and exclaimed, "Shu Ran, that's not what Fu Yiqing said. ”

Seeing that Shu Ran didn't make a sound, Xu Jingyu's voice was an octave higher, "You shouldn't be hiding from him to participate in the competition, what if he comes back soon?"

Shu Ran shrugged her shoulders, "Anyway, I'll practice first, anyway, I don't particularly want to participate in the competition." ”

Xu Jingyu: "Are you accurate that I will come by your temperament?"

Shu Ran smiled slightly, and suddenly the child's heart was on the brain, holding Xu Jingyu's arm.

Xu Jingyu was ready to be baptized by a wave of cute and coquettish, but she heard Shu Ran sell cute, "Little goldfish, even if you don't agree, I have already thought about it." ”

Xu Jingyu: "......"

Now that the decision has been made, the action faction Shu Ran immediately contacted Huo Guang and expressed his willingness to participate in the World Championships.

In the past two years, there has been no better seedling than Shu Ran in the women's singles, and Huo Guang is of course happy to hear this news, but it is also mixed.

For a person who has a black history, no amount of good words is worth a good result.
