The clinic was filled with the smell of medicine, and the inexplicability made the brown-haired and blue-eyed woman who had just entered the door raise her hand to cover her mouth and nose.

This scene was watched by Melinda at the nurses' station.

Such a scene is all too common in clinics, and the less common is another strange person.

Melinda couldn't help but cast her eyes on the face of the girl sitting in her chair waiting for the announcement.

She had an Asian face, long black hair draped over her shoulders, and her quietness attracted a lot of attention.

It was the first time for Melinda to see such a white-skinned Asian, and in her impression, Asians' complexion was always yellow and dark, so much so that Melinda was a little skeptical that the girl was mixed-race.

I saw her staring at the crowded clinic with a blank look in her eyes, an X-ray on her lap, and she kept her hands clenched into fists on her legs and did not move for a long time.

If it's just skin color, then Melinda still pays too much attention to the girl, and what surprises Melinda is the girl's performance.

The girl had been in this dumbfounded position for half an hour, and no matter what the people around her said, it didn't set off the flow of her eyes.

Just as Melinda began to wonder if the girl was mentally handicapped or autistic, she suddenly gathered her scattered gaze and looked at a man not far away, and only when she turned her gaze to the man did the girl's mouth hook up a smile, but even if she laughed, it faded to the extreme.

The man seemed to be talking about ...... Chinese? Did he just call the girl's name?

Melinda didn't react for a moment, thinking that the girl was already the most delicate Asian face she had ever seen, but she was surprised by the man's handsome appearance.

Immediately afterward, the man hooked the girl's shoulders and entered Dr. Joseph's office.

"Hey!"

Melinda was tapped on the shoulder, and she turned her head in horror to see her colleague Emma, who pressed her chest, "Scared me to death." Then he continued to look where he was.

Emma: "What are you looking at?"

As a medical professional, one should not be curious about the patient's condition, these are the patient's privacy, but today it is an exception.

"The girl and the man just now, do you know what they are sick with?"

"Which girl and man?"

"It's the Asian couple. Melinda was surprised, "I remember that Dr. Joseph was obviously good at orthopedics, and their hands and feet looked quite normal......

Emma frowned and thought for a long time before she suddenly realized that she was dragging out her voice, "Oh, you said they! It's the girl who sees the doctor, she's an athlete, and they're not a couple." ”

There are many athletes looking for Joseph, and Melinda doesn't know everyone, but that thin and beautiful girl turns out to be an athlete?

Melinda couldn't help but exclaim, "Athlete?"

Just as a patient arrived, Emma replied to Melinda, "You know about figure skating? She's a figure skater." ”

Melinda's surprise all turned into a reality, figure skating is still an unpopular Olympic sport in Italy, and when the domestic star Rowling is still competing, the domestic public is still concerned, but since Rowling's retirement two years ago, the project that has finally shown its style in the international arena has once again fallen into the tragic situation of no successor.

Melinda had just withdrawn from her thoughts when she saw the door of her office open from the inside, and then the tall and the short appeared in her field of vision, and Dr. Joseph had come out to see them off.

Shu Ran hadn't taken two steps before she suddenly said, "Coach Fu, I'll go to the toilet." ”

Fu Yiqing raised his eyes and glanced at her, and said "be careful" in a warm voice, until her figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, he finally retracted his gaze, and at the moment of retraction, his eyes were dyed with a sense of heaviness.

Joseph: "The situation in this follow-up visit is still the same, and it is unlikely that there will be a radical cure, so you still have to take your time, and you can also ...... by improving your diet."

Fu Yiqing nodded.

Joseph noticed his expression, turned his head to look in the direction of the toilet, and saw that no one had come, so he asked, "However, her injury did not affect her game, why has it been ...... this year?" Shu Ran didn't appear in any of the games again?"

As soon as the words fell, a thick mist slowly grew under Fu Yiqing's eyes, which quickly invaded all his brilliance.

A sigh sounded, extremely soft, but it gave the impression that he had sighed countless times.

Joseph, realizing that he had mentioned the last thing that others wanted to mention, smiled wryly, and waved his hand, "If it's not convenient to answer, don't ......"

"It's fine. Fu Yiqing inhaled slowly, but his gaze was sideways.

Joseph's breath couldn't help but hold his breath, and his expression unconsciously became solemn.

Memories go back to a year ago.

Originally, the attention to figure skating in China was not too high, and even if you wanted to pay attention to it, it was also pair skating and men's singles, but Shu Ran's withdrawal made her a celebrity in the domestic sports world, but this celebrity has to be put in quotation marks.

If before the game, Shu Ran was like a star-studded existence, then this withdrawal was pushed by everyone when the wall fell.

@体育快讯: On the 21st, in the women's singles free skating of figure skating held in Vancouver, Chinese player Shu Ran chose to retire after 31 seconds of the start of the competition. It is reported that Shu Ran, the national team's women's figure skating single sister, was injured at the World Championships a year ago, and Shu Ran's performance in the fog whistle cup also showed that her injury did not improve, but in the short program on the 19th, her performance made everyone think that her injury had improved, but whether it was really healed is still unknown.

"Shu Ran is fine, please stay sane and wait for the official response!"

"Shu Ran is too willful, even if she is injured, she should skate the whole game, even if it hurts, this is also the venue of the Winter Olympics, and the whole world is watching!"

"It should have recovered, she performed very well in the game on the 19th, I think she was distracted in this game, and it was too late to make up for it, so she simply withdrew. ”

"I think she expected that her skills were not as good as others, in order to save the last bit of face for herself, after all, so many netizens are cheering her on, her grades are too poor and not good-looking, not only has no face, but also consumes the popularity accumulated during the injury. ”

"Even if it hurts again, isn't she in pain when she lost the qualifying match last time? Isn't it just that she was injured, her popularity has risen, and the shelf is bigger!"

"It's not you who hurt, you are talking cool here! I think there is a little logic upstairs that is correct, she can still persist in the qualifying competition, but she can't persist this time, which proves that this time it will be more painful than the losing competition! Athletes winning glory for the country is not as simple as you think, if you insist will make her more injured, why continue to compete?"

During the Chinese New Year, a large family of relatives sat together to see the performance of the Chinese team, but they directly abandoned the game halfway, and the most important thing is that there was news before the game that Shu Ran's injury was not yet well, what does this mean?

In those days, the Internet was full of news about Shu Ran's free skate abandonment.

Shu Ran only saw the news on the Internet after receiving emergency treatment.

There are a few people who support her, and after a few days of heated discussions among netizens, more and more people stand on the opposite side of Shu Ran with the reason that "even if you are injured, you should finish slipping".

Later, Shu Ran became depressed.

The main reason for depression is not the opposition of netizens, but the diagnosis of doctors.

Speaking of this, Fu Yiqing paused.

Joseph hurriedly asked, "What did the doctor say?"

Fu Yiqing: "He said that even if Shu Ran returns to the arena, the injury will continue to recur, and ......" There was a hint of distress in his calm tone, "She was on the ice once half a year ago. ”

From Fu Yiqing's tone, Joseph guessed the result of that ice situation.

"It's terrible, and she doesn't believe she can skate better than before. ”

Figure skaters train every day without interruption so that they can keep improving.

Every year, even every six months, the progress of the players is quite obvious.

Even if he is a world champion, he can't always sit on the first throne if he has maintained a stable strength, not to mention that Shu Ran can't be regarded as a world champion.

"Have you seen a psychiatrist?" Joseph said, surprised.

Fu Yiqing: "The psychiatrist said that her heart disease is easy to solve, and as long as she stands on the ice again, the problem can be solved." ”

Just like the high jump, if a person is afraid in his heart, then he will touch the pole no matter what, but as long as he has faith, he will be able to jump over it one day sooner or later.

Shu Ran's problem is not whether her own physical condition can surpass her former self, but that her heart is more fragile than before.

A wry smile overflowed into Joseph's mouth, "I think, it's not easy. ”

Fu Yiqing nodded, "Indeed." ”

The atmosphere was a little cold.

Joseph's eyes suddenly appeared in front of Shu Ran, the Shu Ran who was lying on the bed, crying but swearing that no matter what ranking he gets, he must return to the ice rink.

When they came out of the clinic, they noticed that it was snowing outside.

Silvery white snow is blowing one after another, and I don't know when it has already fallen all over the city, and everywhere you can see is covered in silver.

Shu Ran lost her mind for a while and exclaimed, "It's snowing." ”

only heard Fu Yiqing's "um", and then her neck warmed.

Fu Yiqing untied his scarf and wrapped it around her neck one by one, and soon wrapped her neck tightly, and no cold wind could pour it in.

Shu Ran looked at him blankly, "Coach,"

Fu Yiqing put on the hat that came with her coat for her, and her little face was wrapped in it, obviously familiar, but her eyes were not as bright as before.

He hid the unnaturalness in his eyes, smiled softly and touched the top of her head, which was hidden by the hat, gently stained his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and then put his hand in front of her, and motioned for her to put her hand up.

Shu Ran didn't think too much about it, and then put his hand in his palm, and the chill was dispelled in an instant.

Fu Yiqing pulled her into the ice and snow.

Shu Ran didn't get into the car for a long time.

Fu Yiqing: "What's wrong?"

Shu Ran looked at the vast ice city again.

White is the color she is most familiar with since she was a child, and it is also the color she dares not touch now, she feels the blood sealed under the ice and snow, but at the same time she is nervous and adrenaline-rising.

Her eyes flickered, and she finally suppressed the slightest urge in her heart to slide in the snow, bent down and got into the car, "Let's go." ”

Of course, Fu Yiqing also guessed what she was thinking, and the taboo topic that she had not dared to touch for a long time seemed to have been lifted by this sudden weather, or Joseph.

"Shu Ran. Fu Yiqing didn't start the car for a long time, his hand hit the steering wheel one by one, and then suddenly tightened, "The next season is about to start, do you want to prepare a new show?"
