Fu Yiqing didn't let Shu Ran appear in the public's field of vision now, just because he thought that her current strength had not recovered to the extent of slapping others in the face, what he wanted was the absolute surprise of Shu Ran's return to the arena.

But what Fu Yiqing is really worried about is public opinion.

If Shu Ran's current strength does not reach the level of amazing the public, then the black history of abandoning the race two years ago will inevitably be turned out again, and the Ice Association will only have a worse impression of Shu Ran at that time, so the Ice Association may oppose Shu Ran's participation in the Long Island Winter Olympics two years later.

This truth, after Fu Yiqing's explanation, Shu Ran understood.

So in this World Championships, Shu Ran participated in it with some trepidation.

This season, a lot has changed.

The ISU has issued new rules of competition, and all the results except for the points have been emptied to become history, and Shu Ran's short program world record has not been broken, so Shu Ran has made the women's singles figure skating history stage with a short program score of 81.41 points.

It's not just the rules that have changed, the biggest change is the contestants.

Women's singles is usually a change of players in two Olympic cycles, and most of the players in Shu Ran's same period have almost all suffered from injuries and age, so most of them have retired.

The players on the field are almost all new faces.

Of course, there are old faces, such as the Winter Olympics world champion Nadilova two years ago, but Shu Ran is five years older than her, and the old faces are still so young, let alone a younger newcomer?

However, after going through so much, Shu Ran has faced too many problems, so it is not surprising that she has faced this.

Compared with worrying about his competitors, Shu Ran is still more worried about public opinion.

After not participating in the competition for a long time, Shu Ran was inevitably a little nervous.

The moment she took off her coat and stood on the ice rink, the cold breath on the ice instantly enveloped her.

You don't have to look up to see the ice fans at the scene, although the attendance rate is not as good as the Winter Olympics, and most of the seats are not full, but for Shu Ran, who has not skated in front of people for two years, so many eyes are enough to make her heart tremble.

In a strange and familiar environment, music sounded.

Although Shu Ran's performance was flawed, the applause of the ice fans made her very useful.

In the end, Shu Ran temporarily finished fifth with a short program score of 69.86.

On the second day, Shu Ran failed to beat yesterday's short program, finishing eighth in the combined score of the short program and free skate.

This is not a good result for Shu Ran in the past, and it can even be said that it has regressed a lot.

But for the women's singles in the past two years, it has been the best result.

Therefore, the Ice Association acquiesced in Shu Ran's qualification to participate in the World Team Championships.

The morning training is over.

Tomorrow morning will leave for Japan to participate in the World Team Championships, Shu Ran will go back to the villa to pack her luggage.

The room that has always been quiet is surprisingly noisy.

I only heard the voices of Wu Xincheng and others coming from the mobile phone, "Shu Ran, after the competition on the 23rd, let's go shopping, I have to buy some skin care products." ”

Chen Lecheng: "Before the game started, I was already thinking that it was going to end, do you have the idea that a person who wins glory for the country should have?"

In the earpiece, Zhu Hongzhe's voice sounded faintly, "You said yesterday that you were going to visit Akihabara." ”

Chen Lecheng's serious voice suddenly relaxed, and he smiled, "Hongzhe, don't betray me like this." ”

Wu Xincheng: "Cut-"

Shu Ran was sorting things out, interspersed with a few words, and was just about to get up and go to the cabinet to get a few sets of change of clothes pants, when she suddenly found that there were more people in the afterglow.

Rise.

Seeing someone coming, Shu Ran was shocked.

Fu Yiqing's face was expressionless, his brows were tightly locked, and he walked over with a gloomy expression and turned off the mobile phone voice group chat standing on the mobile phone shelf.

Shu Ran maintained a squatting posture on the ground, and Fu Yiqing stood in front of her.

For a moment, no one spoke.

After a long time, Fu Yiqing looked at her, "You are going to participate in the World Team Competition?"

Shu Ran chuckled in her heart, always feeling that something was going to happen.

Fu Yiqing said again, "Didn't you say that you should trust each other...... Why didn't you tell me?"

As soon as Shu Ran raised his head, he caught a glimpse of the complicated expression in his eyes, as if he was secretly sad.

Guilt filled Shu Ran's head.

Shu Ran twisted her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, "It's not as ...... as you think."

Originally, Shu Ran just wanted to help out after listening to Wu Xincheng's words, but after talking to Huo Guang on the phone, she realized that the two years she disappeared from the arena lost not only the support of the ice fans, but also the consumption of all the good feelings of the Ice Association for her.

Of course, she believes that as long as Fu Yiqing is out of the race, whatever competition she wants to participate in, the Ice Association can let her participate regardless of her previous suspicions.

But Shu Ran didn't want to.

Not only because she wanted to rely on her own ability, but also because she didn't want Fu Yiqing to bow her head.

He was such a proud man.

Therefore, she would rather play reliably to regain the trust and support of the Ice Association.

But these words, Shu Ran only went through them in his head.

This reason is too long, but when it comes to his mouth, his thoughts are confused, and he bites his lower lip tightly, and he doesn't say anything about it.

She looked like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting for criticism, but Fu Yiqing sighed helplessly, "When did I say I wouldn't let you participate?"

"Huh?"

Shu Ran looked up in confusion, wondering if she had misheard or misunderstood what he meant.

Fu Yiqing shook her head, patted her head and chuckled, "What are you doing stupidly, packing your luggage." ”

Different from the heavy atmosphere just now, Fu Yiqing's smile was three points helpless and seven points relieved.

Shu Ran's just cloudy weather also cleared, the timidity in her eyes faded, she raised her eyelashes in surprise, her eyes were full of joy and nodded to continue to pack her luggage.

The World Team Championships are held every two years and are contested by the top six countries in terms of points.

Although it is also an international event, the atmosphere of the competition is not as tense as that of a general international event because there are no points.

Even if the atmosphere of the World Team Championships is relatively relaxed, the lineup should not be underestimated.

Each country must send the best performers from each country in each event of the season, with two players in each country in the men's singles and women's singles, and one pair in pairs skating and ice dance.

The best result of the season was naturally Shu Ran's score at the World Championships a month ago, so it's no surprise that she is among them.

The other person in the women's singles is Chen Jiahe, who is 16 years old this year, 7 years younger than Shu Ran.

The men's singles are naturally Chen Lecheng and Zhu Hongzhe, and the pair skating pair is Wu Xincheng and Shen Yu.

The male partner of the ice dance is called Li Yuanxing, and the female partner is called Wan Yushan, although the pair was formed three years ago, they did not know Shu Ran.

However, in the team that no longer knows each other, as long as there are three living treasures, Chen Lecheng, Zhu Hongzhe, and Wu Xincheng, it is impossible to be quiet, and there is no way to settle down in this life.

Shu Ran's participation in the World Championships, due to Qin Liubei's lack of information, he was called out by Fu Yiqing to talk.

Shu Ran looked at Qin Liubei's departing back and felt sympathy.

The afternoon is the opening ceremony of the World Team Championships, and at this moment, the players from various countries are arranging their own countries' equal seats.

I saw two male players in the United States take out the props of the heroes and protagonists of various Hollywood blockbusters, pretending to be the heroes of the movie, but they actually fought against each other, completely forgetting about the arrangement, and finally saw that no one paid attention to them for a while, so they obediently went to help with the arrangement.

Chen Lecheng secretly observed the arrangement of players from other countries, and smiled confidently, "We have won." ”

Shu Ran couldn't help but laugh at him, "So confident?"

I only heard Chen Lecheng sneer, touched his forehead, and looked at his country's equal seat with a trembling expression, "I also brought a decisive magic weapon." ”

Zhu Hongzhe seemed to know the inside story, and kept shaking his head and sighing.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Chen Lecheng take out one pillow after another from the black bag on the side and put it on the stool, "If we can't win, it's not that we are too weak, but that the opponent is too strong." ”

This is not an ordinary pillow, but a pillow with a meme printed on it.

A panda's head is painted on it, and a line of words is written.

The little junior sister Chen Jiahe read out loud, "A good man spares his life." ”

Chen Lecheng's smile stiffened, and he hurriedly picked up the pillow in horror and looked at it carefully, "I'll go, the seller sent the wrong goods!"

This episode made everyone laugh and bend over, and Zhu Hongzhe also laughed at Chen Lecheng with open arms from the original expectation.

Fu Yiqing came in and saw Shu Ran, Zhu Hongzhe and others fighting, and smiled and bent his eyebrows.

He was stunned.

He didn't seem to have seen Shu Ran smile so happily for a long time.

Qin Liubei looked at Fu Yiqing's gaze, and wondered in his heart, could it be that Fu Yiqing was jealous?

Qin Liubei was still speculating because of Fu Yiqing's daze, but he heard Fu Yiqing suddenly speak, "Liubei, have you bought the ticket to go back?"

"I bought it. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was lucky to buy it, otherwise Fu Yiqing would have blackened his face again.

"Retreat. ”

Qin Liubei's soft eyes instantly lost their brilliance, "What?"

Fu Yiqing looked at him, his expression was calm, not as if he was joking, "Let's go back with the team." ”

For a while, Qin Liubei felt that Fu Yiqing was probably fixing him, should he wait for him to refund the ticket and then say that he would rebook the ticket, wouldn't that increase the workload?

No, he'll have to ask.

"Why do you suddenly want to be with the team?" Qin Liubei frowned, "Didn't we all act separately from the team before?"

Fu Yiqing took a slow breath and looked at the group of people who were laughing and laughing.

"I just feel like I'm on the wrong track. The voice was melodious, with a hint of regret.

As Qin Liubei said, they have always acted separately from the team, and even the training is separated, and Shu Ran has rarely been able to contact his own team members.

It seems to give people the illusion that "he asked Shu Ran to skate just for results".

But after careful calculation, Shu Ran and these team members spent almost all the time they were laughing.

There is a kind of heartfelt care that cannot be compensated for by feelings, which is the care and understanding that only peers can give.

There is no need to say too many comforting words, and a reassuring joke can make people forget their troubles.

It was not until this moment that Fu Yiqing was willing to admit that there was a generation gap between him and Shu Ran.

The generation gap does not affect their relationship, but compared to Shu Ran's peers, they have the ability to make Shu Ran laugh more easily.
