Chapter 1 I want to quit the team
When Shu Ran was sitting outside the arena and wearing skates, the sound of footsteps was approaching, and she saw Liang Yue and Jiang Wanru humming a little song as if they were in a good mood, their eyes touched her, as if they saw something dirty, the smile on her face was instantly condensed by ice cubes, she snorted coldly, sat on the seat on the other side and began to change her skates.
Liang Yue sneered while tying her shoes, "Some people, pluck a pig's tail all the year round, and they haven't won any medals in the youth group, this is the adult group, and they participated in an international competition last year and won the fifth from the bottom, which is really a waste of places." ”
She changed her other foot, "If I were her, I would have quit the figure skating world a long time ago, wouldn't I be ashamed of my motherland?"
Shu Ran wanted to refute, but the words came to her lips and took them back.
Although Liang Yue's results are not too good, and no one takes her seriously in the world, she is much better than Shu Ran, at least her short program results can still enter the free skate, but Shu Ran's short program results are not good, and she is not even qualified to enter the free skate.
What Liang Yue said is the truth, she has indeed disgraced the motherland.
Shu Ran got up and glanced at Liang Yue deeply.
Liang Yue arrogantly met Shu Ran's gaze, and then passed by her, the corners of her mouth still had the taunt just now, took off the skate cover, and slid into the ice rink like a dexterous swallow, Jiang Wanru, who is also a figure skating women's singles player, also did various footwork smoothly.
Shu Ran stepped on the ice to enter, and Yu Guang couldn't ignore the figures of the two of them, but she wasn't watching her training, and her thoughts flew away while her eyes were ethereal.
Yesterday's words from my parents are still in my ears.
"Ranran, it's not that your parents don't approve of your skating, and your family has money for you to skate, but the problem is that after so many years, you haven't won any awards. ”
"It's not that your parents don't believe you, you were still very good at math when you were a child, you have a specialization in this industry, figure skating may not be suitable for you, you are only 17 years old, and it is still too late to change careers...... Other people's children are still in school at your age, how about your mother and your father find you a high school to go to?"
"If you are engaged in sports at this age, you will already be an old athlete when you are 23 years old, but if you go another way, you are still very young, and you don't have to worry about not being able to keep up with the course. ”
Shu Ran raised her right leg and made a swallow step, and the gliding on the ice brought a gust of wind, and the ice wind blew across her face, bringing a hint of coolness.
I haven't won a medal to prove myself for many years, Shu Ran's boiling heart has already cooled down, and it is more like being frozen at this moment.
Her right foot touched the ice with a blade, and the friction brought her skate to a halt.
Maybe...... She really should have given up on her dreams.
Suddenly, there was a burst of applause, and I saw coach He Ming walk in, his expression was very serious, and his loud voice resounded throughout the ice rink, "It's all out, there are important events to announce." ”
The three of them slid out together, and Liang Yue took the lead in asking, "Coach He, what's the matter?"
"Tested within the team. ”
"Ahh
The reason for their surprise is that the first team test of this year was completed in mid-August, and the second team test did not start until late December in previous years.
Shu Ran thought of her decision just now, and after Liang Yue and the two left the ice rink one after the other, she stopped He Ming, "Coach He." ”
"What's wrong?"
"I want to quit. ”
He Ming looked at the quiet and lovely girl in front of him, and his mood was a little complicated.
Figure skating is an artistic competition, in which each competition is contested first in the short program, then in the free skate, and finally the final result is determined by the total score of the two competitions.
Both the short program and the free skate are based on the addition of the technical TES and artistic PCS scores.
Most of the contestants scored by superb technique, and a small number of contestants scored by artistic appeal.
But the girl in front of her is not top-notch in terms of technology, and in terms of art, her artistic appeal is not very good.
There are countless players like her in figure skating, and it can be said that there is no more than her, and no less than her.
But for her own life, it's a shame to waste it on figure skating.
He Ming came back to his senses and patted Shu Ran's shoulder, "You think it out for yourself, go to the team test first, and the results of the team test will come out in two days, and then tell me your answer." ”
Shu Ran nodded.
All the contestants in the test wore makeup and changed into costumes, which was no different from the official competition.
There are even ISU-level judges and international judges who score each one.
Everyone was aware of the unusual aspect of the intra-team test, with only the women's singles players present, both the senior and junior women's singles players.
But the men's singles, pairs skaters and ice dancers were not present.
Jiang Wanru asked the coach puzzled, and He Ming obviously didn't know, and just said that they should skate well.
Looking at those 13 or 4-year-old girls, Shu Ran understood that her age was indeed not young in the figure skating world.
Seeing that the above attached so much importance to this test, Liang Yue and Jiang Wanru both showed 100% of their strength to deal with this test.
Their performance seemed much better to Shu Ran than her, and she was a little reluctant, but when she stood on the ice, she felt the cold air rushing up from below, and she suddenly felt nostalgic for this ice.
Shu Ran thought to herself: Since this is the case, then it should be regarded as the final farewell.
Shu Ran has exhausted her life's learning, and in less than three minutes, her mind has completed her short but profound eleven years in the figure skating world.
Shu Ran is very self-aware, and she can also see that her test results are not good, so she doesn't care much about the results two days later.
The results came out, Liang Yue was the first, and there were a few girls in the youth group with good qualifications, surpassing Shu Ran in the adult group, Shu Ran didn't care much, she was going to leave anyway.
While taking care of her luggage, Shu Ran called her parents and told them her decision to quit the team, but her parents on the other end of the phone were very happy and immediately said that they wanted to come to City B to pick her up, but Shu Ran refused.
The luggage has been packed.
The last step is to submit a withdrawal application.
Shu Ran went to tell Coach He about it first, and then submitted the withdrawal application form to the head coach's office.
She held the form, and in the center of the top, the two bold words "Quitting" seemed to splash ink on her eyes, and her gaze was empty.
She started figure skating at the age of six, and eleven years passed quickly, and she entered figure skating with her dreams, but she didn't get anything, only low back pain.
knocked on the door, head coach Huo Guang opened the door, "I'll ...... later." Shu Ran?"
Shu Ran nodded, not understanding why the head coach called her name in such a questioning tone.
Raising his eyes, he happened to face the sofa in the office, and caught a glimpse of a pair of pitch-black pupils, as well as half of his face obscured by the head coach's slightly chubby figure.
Shu Ran saw that the head coach had a guest, and said sensibly, "Coach Huo, I'll come back later." ”
"Come in, and I'll come back to you. ”
"Oh. ”
Shu Ran came in to help close the door, and heard Huo Guang say, "Mr. Fu, she is Shu Ran." ”
Shu Ran turned around, and faced a shocking face, it was difficult for people to look away, thick eyebrows and starry eyes, straight nose bridge, tight thin lips, and deep eyes as if to suck people's souls in.
The first feeling when I saw him was that he was so handsome, these two words directly defeated people's ability to form words, and only exploded all the good things in people's minds, but forgot to think.
He was looking at her.
Facing his inquiring eyes, a rushing oppressive force smashed towards Shu Ran's door.
Huo Guang saw that the two looked at each other, and then introduced, "Shu Ran, let me introduce you, this is Coach Fu Yiqing Fu, and he will take you in the future." ”
Shu Ran let out an "ah" in surprise, her hand shook, and the form fell to the ground in a fluttering manner.
Huo Guang smiled at Shu Ran and said kindly, "By the way, do you have anything to do with me?"
Shu Ran looked at Fu Yiqing and then at Huo Guang, picked up the form on the ground, and handed it to Huo Guang, "Coach Huo, I'm here to submit an application for withdrawal." ”
Huo Guang, who was just about to sit down, almost fell, glanced at Fu Yiqing tentatively, hurriedly took the form from her hand, looked at it, and found that she was not joking, and said softly, "Quit?"
"I have ...... grades It's not good, I'm afraid that if I continue like this, it will probably waste my life, so Coach Huo, I'm really sorry to live up to your expectations of me. ”
Shu Ran bowed to the two of them and walked out.
"Who agreed to you quitting?"
Shu Ran's footsteps paused, this unfamiliar voice could only be Fu Yiqing, she turned her head, "Coach He has agreed." ”
Fu Yiqing's eyes moved, he walked up to Shu Ran, looked at her condescendingly, and his voice was cold, "Now, I am your coach." ”
"But I'm out of the team. ”
"The process is not finished, you are still an athlete of the national team, and if I don't agree, you can't quit the team. ”
Generally, athletes who are not very important, talk to the coach, and then submit an application for withdrawal, and the next thing is to go through the process, which can be said to be a direct withdrawal.
If she is a seeded player in the women's singles, it would be forgivable for them to keep her, but she is just a minion, and her results are not even as good as those in the youth group, so what is there to keep them?
Seeing this, head coach Huo Guang stepped forward and said haha, "If you have something to say, everyone is a family behind closed doors...... I haven't quit the team yet, so I can discuss it again. ”
"So, why? Shu Ran was puzzled, "My grades are not very good." ”
"As long as you stay, I can make you a World Champion. ”
Shu Ran stared at Fu Yiqing stunned for a long time, not obsessed with beauty, she found that God is fair, just like this man is good-looking, but he has a problem with his brain.
