Chapter XXVIII

Fu Yiqing didn't speak, and Shu Ran winked at Qin Liubei again, biting the bun.

Although none of the three of them made a sound, they had different thoughts.

Qin Liubei coughed lightly, "That's the case, yesterday your Coach Fu wanted to ask you something, but you didn't reply to his message, so you went up directly, and then I was afraid that it would make a noise to Efitinia, so I hesitated for a while, just now that woman lived in the opposite door of you, thinking that the old man was standing at the door of her room, so he ......"

Fu Yiqing came over with a look.

Qin Liubei hurriedly changed his tone, "I called the front desk of the hotel, and the front desk went up to see the situation and proved that the old man was not a suspicious person, and this is the case." ”

"I see. ”

Seeing that Shu Ran believed his words, Qin Liubei breathed a sigh of relief.

But I heard Shu Ran's voice sound again, but the source of the sound was not aimed at him Qin Liubei, but Fu Yiqing.

"Coach Fu, what do you want to ask me?"

Fu Yiqing silently raised his eyes to look at Qin Liubei, who gave a "love can't help" expression.

"I want to ask you......" Fu Yiqing thought calmly, "What do you want to eat in the morning?"

"Huh?"

Fu Yiqing's mood calmed down a lot, "I don't know what breakfast you want to eat, so I bought this casually, is the bun okay?"

Shu Ran didn't doubt him, "It's okay." ”

The three of them finally found the hotel near the ice rink that had just been checked out, and Shura contacted Ephitinha to tell her about it, and after the other party expressed regret, the two agreed to meet tomorrow at the opening ceremony of the Tallinn Cup.

Shu Ran still has to train today.

In order to prevent Shu Ran from standing in France again, Fu Yiqing chatted with Shu Ran about the short program and the feeling of free skating, and let her put on a performance costume and skate twice, so that she could train by herself with confidence.

The next day, I simply went through the choreography and corrected some minor faults and mistakes, and then the training ended.

When she arrived at the ice rink, Shu Ran found that Miyae Meihui was also there, and many media were interviewing her.

Only then did she realize that this season's Tallinn Cup was also full of masters, and she needed to show more energy and courage to compete in this game.

As she walked forward, she heard someone calling her name.

Turning her head, she saw that Efitinia who was being interviewed in the crowd waved at her, and her face couldn't hide her joy, as if she wanted to rush over to chat with her, but the coach Kelly on the side forced a smile and said something to her, and she finally returned to normal and continued to be interviewed.

Seeing this, Qin Liubei said, "Efitinia has won the World Youth Championships for three years, and he has just been promoted to the senior group this year, and his strength cannot be underestimated. ”

Shu Ran nodded in understanding.

Efitinia came over after the interview, said hello to Shu Ran, and waved away.

After the opening ceremony, the tense competition began.

No matter how good the relationship between the players is, everyone has a measure in their hearts, and there is an unwritten rule that once the game starts, they will not communicate with other players, not only for fear of affecting each other's training, but also for fear of being understood by someone who cares.

This time, the women's singles lineup can be said to be full of masters, including European champion Maggie, Russia's Blanche and American star Chen Yuqi, who won the silver medal of the last four continents, and Efitinha, a three-time World Youth Champion.

In other words, whether Shu Ran can refresh the fifth place in the Warsaw Cup this time is still very suspenseful.

The order of appearance of today's short program is still determined by drawing, 30 contestants, divided into five groups, Shu Ran drew the third group, this appearance order is not too good, not too bad.

Maggie and Efitinha are in the fourth group, Blanche is in the fifth group, and American Yuqi Chen is in the same group as Shu Ran, and she plays in front of Shu Ran.

Shu Ran's performance will be directly compared with Chen Yuqi, who appeared in front of him, and Chen Yuqi can be regarded as one of the top ten women's singles players in the world.

And so the game began.

The strength of the players in the Tallinn Cup was uneven, and the players in the first two groups fell one after another and performed poorly, and most of the results were not good.

Soon came the third group.

Chen Yuqi was the first to appear, and her performance finally brought the hearts of the audience up.

Shu Ran stood on the ice and didn't go to see Chen Yuqi's final score in the short program.

Because she knows that watching it will also affect her mood, it is better not to watch it, not to mention that the short program only tests the basic strength of the contestants, and the score difference between the contestants will not be too different, as long as she does not make major mistakes.

When the music of "Resurrection" reaches its climax, Shu Ran's successive joint spins and footwork are very dazzling, and the fine ice flowers brought up by the knife teeth seem to have been prepared for a long time.

Chen Yuqi, who had already left the scene, looked at the figure on the ice, a little stunned, and suddenly left with a slight smile.

The two-and-a-half-minute short program ended quickly, and Shu Ran was still a little confused when she skated out of the game.

Her bewildered eyes met Fu Yiqing's smiling eyes, the two hugged each other gently, Fu Yiqing patted her on the back and said, "I did well today." ”

"Really?"

"Of course. Qin Liubei took over the conversation and hugged her, "I estimate that it will be 60 points." ”

Qin Liubei guessed accurately, Shu Ran's short program did not make a single mistake, giving the performance a perfect clean (without any mistakes), and finally scored 63.15 points.

It can be regarded as the best result in Shu Ran's history.

It's hard to open up the score in the short program.

The words that were originally used to comfort themselves are now also used by Shu Ran to warn herself not to be proud.

Final Short Program Standings:

First Maggie

Second, Chen Yuqi

Thirdly, Shuran

Fourth, Efitinia

……

Shu Ran is very happy with the result, and as long as the free skate can be cleaned tomorrow, she is confident that she can do better than the Warsaw Cup.

On the second day's free skate, Shu Ran was still the last group, but this time it was the second to appear, behind Maggie.

Maggie's performance was impeccable, compared to the Asian players, the flexibility of foreign players is generally not good, but Maggie's flexibility is good, Shu Ran took a deep breath and skated on the ice as the audience was still immersed in Maggie's wonderful performance.

Shu Ran failed to give the free skate a chance to clean up, and in the second jump, the floating leg fell on the ice early, so that the subsequent jumps were saved for less than three weeks, but fortunately, she temporarily added two triple jumps in the second half of the bonus period, which recouped the lost points.

When she skipped out of the field, before Shu Ran could speak, Fu Yiqing gave her a big hug first, "I was surprised by your performance today." ”

Shu Ran was a little unresponsive, "Really?"

"Hmm. Fu Yiqing said, "The expressiveness is great, and the content of this program should be given a high score." ”

When the two arrived at the equal table, they listened to Shu Ran's score reported on the radio.

130.28 points in the free skate, plus the score from yesterday's short program, for a final score of 193.43 points.

Temporarily ranked second on the field, only 6.5 points less than Maggie in first place.

Shu Ran went to look at the big screen and found that as Fu Yiqing said, most of the scores in the free skate this time were played by the content of the program, that is, artistic expression.

It wasn't until the last contestant, Chen Yuqi, that the final ranking of the Tallinn Cup came to an end.

Maggie, who relied on technology to score points throughout the whole process, was first, Shu Ran was second, Chen Yuqi was third, and Efittinha was fourth.

As soon as Shu Ran was about to go out, she was stopped and congratulated by Efitinha, and Kelly, the coach who has always had a black face, also gave Shu Ran a good look and said congratulations.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Qin Liubei sighed with emotion, "This old woman's face-changing skills are first-class. ”

His expression changed, and he suddenly smiled and hooked Shu Ran's shoulder, "But this also shows that your strength is recognized by her, and you are about to get out." ”

Suddenly, someone slapped his hand away, and saw Fu Yiqing say with a cold face, "Don't take it lightly, Shu Ran." ”

Shu Ran nodded.

Qin Liubei went to the toilet, and Shu Ran suddenly remembered that his performance uniform was still in the cabinet in the locker room, and immediately rushed back to get it.

Thinking of the plot of the heroine's clothes being scratched in the TV series, Shu Ran took the performance costume and carefully checked it, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was in good condition.

Shu Ran packed her clothes, just closed the door of the locker room and turned around, meeting the eyes of the people who came up, she smiled slightly and said hello.

Chen Yuqi immediately stretched out his hand, "Your performance is very good." ”

Shu Ran shook it back with some surprise, "Thank you." ”

"Looking forward to your next match. ”

The dialogue is very official, but the smile on Chen Yuqi's face always gives people a sense of intimacy, making the official dialogue like a greeting between friends.

When Fu Yiqing saw Shu Ran coming out, he asked, "The clothes are still there?"

Shu Ran nodded.

"Show it to me. ”

Fu Yiqing checked the performance costume carefully and confirmed that there was indeed no problem before putting away the idea of training Shu Ran, "Be careful in the future, you can forget the performance costume, why don't you forget yourself?"

On the way back, Shu Ran told Fu Yiqing and Qin Liubei about touching Chen Yuqi with clothes.

Fu Yiqing: "She didn't ask you what the next competition will be?"

"Nope. ”

Fu Yiqing didn't say anything for a long time, Qin Liubei raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's wrong?"

"This season's competition has been almost competitive, only the GPF (Grand Prix Finals), the World Championships and the Four Continents are left, Chen Yuqi did not enter the GPF, now I only know that she participated in the World Championships, she said this, which probably means that she also participated in the Four Continents Championships. ”

"Participate, participate, this time she is third, and our Shu Ran is second. ”

Fu Yiqing raised his eyes, "The key to this matter is that even famous players like Chen Yuqi have noticed Shu Ran and began to pay attention to what games Shu Ran participated in, which shows that there will be other players who will pay attention to Shu Ran's performance." ”

He looked at Shu Ran with a tense expression, "In the future, if a contestant comes up to greet you, once you are given something to eat, you must be more attentive and try not to eat." ”

Shu Ran immediately thought of a player who had been found to have taken doping before the game, and Fu Yiqing obviously meant that.

She nodded, "I see." ”

As soon as he returned to the hotel, Shu Ran received a congratulatory message from Huo Guang, the head coach of City B.

These congratulatory messages have always only been sent to the coaches of the players, but Shu Ran's situation is special, neither Fu Yiqing nor Qin Liubei are from the realm directly under Huo Guang, so they can only be called to Shu Ran.

Shu Ran answered the phone on the other end.

Fu Yiqing and Qin Liubei sat on the chair and drank coffee, and their eyes were always on Shu Ran.

Qin Liubei: "Do you see it?"

Fu Yiqing nodded.

Qin Liubei's eyes were a little complicated, he took a sip of coffee to warm his body, and let out a breath of heat, "I didn't expect that this guy Shu Ran is not just waste wood." ”

Not only is it not a waste of wood, but it can be said to be a genius.

"The result of this competition is beyond my calculations. Qin Liubei said.

Fu Yiqing pondered for a moment, "I didn't expect it either." ”

I didn't expect Shu Ran to be a competition-type player.

The weaker the opponent, the more likely she is to make mistakes, and the stronger the opponent, the stronger she is.

It seems that the plan for this season was wrong.
