Chapter 21: Let's Talk
Shu Ran felt that her dream could really wake up.
After last night, the relationship between her and Fu Yiqing probably dropped to the freezing point.
Just when Shu Ran was worried about how to get along with Fu Yiqing in the future, she heard a knock on the door.
Shu Ran just rolled over and got out of bed, stepping on the carpet only to feel dizzy.
It's all the after-effects of yesterday's rain.
Shu Ran rubbed her temples and walked to the door of the room, saw the person coming through the cat's eyes, and opened the door after being slightly stunned.
"I've got my skates back. Fu Yiqing directly handed over a paper bag to Shu Ran, and handed over the breakfast in his other hand together, "Hurry up and eat breakfast, take the medicine, and we will go back to China." ”
Shu Ran was a little stunned, but finally took the things and turned back to the room.
Since Fu Yiqing was willing to give her this step, she naturally shouldn't indulge in the events that had already passed.
Without Fu Yiqing, she still has figure skating.
Seeing that Fu Yiqing also followed, Shu Ran pretended to ignore his existence and sat at the table to eat breakfast.
Fu Yiqing looked like he had something to say, and without much hesitation, he said, "Shu Ran, let's talk." ”
Shu Ran's hand holding the chopsticks stiffened slightly, and then calmly responded.
Fu Yiqing: "For a figure skater, the career is very short, let alone the career of the women's singles player, although there are many women's singles players who have participated in two Olympic Games, but there are very few players who can win good results in the two Winter Olympics, most of them are due to injuries, and can only shine in the first Winter Olympics. ”
Looking at Shu Ran's stiff back, he said again: "You understand all this, I don't want to remind you of anything, I just want to ask you, are you sure you want to give up the figure skating you have worked hard for so many years because of some personal feelings?"
Shu Ran is 18 years old, there are less than three years to go, when Shu Ran is 21 years old, if the Winter Olympics in three years do not get good results, then Shu Ran who will wait four years to participate in the Winter Olympics is already 25 years old, and the women's singles players in the Winter Olympics are generally younger, 21 years old to participate in are older than the average player, 25-year-old Shu Ran can win a young player who is much better in all aspects of physical fitness?
The odds are slim.
Shu Ran looked at the breakfast in her hand and was distracted for a while.
He's right, she doesn't have time to think about anything else, while other players are thinking about how to get stronger and how to break through themselves, she is thinking about things here.
Even with only one back, Fu Yiqing could see her struggle, "Didn't you say that you like figure skating very much, is it really worth it?"
"I see, Coach Fu. ”
"Hmm. Fu Yiqing said, "Forget everything that happened yesterday, I will always be with you...... Until you get a medal. ”
Shu Ran didn't dare to ask, so what about after getting the medal?
That's not what she's supposed to ask, at least not what she's supposed to care about right now.
Every figure skater has gambled everything they have to fight for a medal, and if they want to do one thing seriously, they have no distractions.
I thought it would be embarrassing to put this kind of thing on the table, but the fact was not, when it was said, Shu Ran finally found out what was more important now.
Shu Ran tried on the repaired skates, went to the nearest ice rink for a lap, held her breath, and did three jumps, the success rate finally returned, and she also regained her confidence.
The moment she fell on the ice, she couldn't hide the joy brought by the successful jump between her eyebrows.
But Fu Yiqing, who was outside the court, felt that Shu Ran seemed to have grown a lot overnight, he hid his thoughts as deep as the sea, and the corners of his lips were sincerely curled.
*
On the plane, Fu Yiqing and Shu Ran mentioned that she should move back to the collective dormitory, and she directly agreed to come down.
Before the two landed, Qin Liubei rushed to the airport to pick up the plane, first went back to Fu Yiqing's house to pick up his luggage, and then returned to the team to report.
Fu Yiqing told Shu Ran that except for the parties involved, the head coach of the national team and the head coach of the Russian national team, the rest of the people did not know about the existence of the gambling contract.
After all, the bet was made by the International Skating Union, and once it is known, will anyone doubt that the International Skating Union has given the two athletes participating in the experiment the privilege to participate in the Winter Olympics?
After all, participating in the Winter Olympics ultimately depends on the strength of Shu Ran and Christina, if neither of them makes it to the Winter Olympics, will the ISU give them the privilege to participate in order to continue the bet?
So you can't let too many people know about it.
The intra-team test was approaching, and everyone was practicing on the ice rink.
Shu Ran found out that two junior sisters had been promoted to the women's singles senior group.
The women's singles figure skating has always been so brutal, every year there are new players who are younger than you, you rely on your qualifications, but they are younger than you and have better physical fitness than you.
That's why some people say that figure skating is an Olympic sport that feels old at the beginning of life.
The first person to find Shu Ran was Jiang Wanru, she was the first to slide to the fence and greeted Shu Ran, "You're finally back, long time no see, are you okay?"
Shu Ran was about to nod, but saw Liang Yue also slid over, "It's the champion who is back." ”
Jiang Wanru frowned slightly, "Don't say that." ”
Liang Yue: "What did I say? I just asked her when she would win the championship." ”
Jiang Wanru was speechless for a while, caught a glimpse of Huo Guang who came in with Fu Yiqing at the entrance, and hurriedly reminded Liang Yue, and Liang Yue turned her head to practice on the field.
Shu Ran is still sick and tired from traveling, so she won't participate in group training today.
Huo Guang walked in and saw Shu Ran, "Why don't you go back to the dormitory to rest first, there will be another training session tomorrow morning." ”
When Shu Ran left, Yu Guang took Fu Yiqing on the side, nodded and gestured before leaving.
Huo Guang looked sideways at her back, "This kid is still old, he doesn't like to talk, why don't you say hello to her Coach Fu?"
After all, in Huo Guang's opinion, Fu Yiqing is still the vice president of the International Skating Union, and Shu Ran is a member of the national team, so she should be polite to outsiders.
Huo Guang still added, "But she's a good boy." "I'm not a good athlete, I don't have good results.
There was a slight regret in his tone.
Fu Yiqing glanced at him lightly and said, "Well, she is indeed very good." ”
Shu Ran was indeed tired, and she fell asleep not long after returning to the dormitory, and finally the sound of Jiang Wanru opening the door woke her up.
"Shu Ran, have you had dinner?"
Shu Ran instinctively touched her stomach, shook her head, and estimated that if she said no, Jiang Wanru would have to run for her to bring food again, so she simply got out of bed directly, "I'm just hungry, I'll just go to the cafeteria to eat by myself." ”
Jiang Wanru was too tired after a day of practice, so when she said this, she simply went into the bathroom to take a bath.
On the way back from the cafeteria after eating, Shu Ran was on the phone with Xu Jingyu, but ran into Fu Yiqing.
Five meters apart, far away.
After being slightly stunned, Shu Ran first shouted "Coach Fu" to break the deadlock.
Fu Yiqing stepped forward, "How are you getting along with your teammates?"
"It's okay, that's it. ”
“……”
After a period of silence, the wind blew across the faces of the two, and Fu Yiqing said, "Then I'll go back first, and contact me if I have something." ”
"Hmm. ”
The other end of the phone hissed a little tangled, only to hear Xu Jingyu's voice ring, "Was Fu Yiqing just now......?" A little weird between the two of you?"
Just listen to a conversation, and perceive the problem between them.
Shu Ran didn't know whether to say that Xu Jingyu was good, or if the performance between them was really too obvious.
Originally, Shu Ran wasn't going to tell anyone about this, but since Xu Jingyu asked, she didn't plan to hide it.
Shu Ran found a place where no one was there and told the other party about it as it was.
After a long time, Xu Jingyu suddenly asked, "Are you angry?"
"What are you angry about?" Shu Ran smiled and shook her head, "I think he did the right thing, whether he refused or said it from his heart, the result was that he made me understand what figure skating means to me." ”
Her goal is to do well in the women's singles figure skating event, while Fu Yiqing aims to change the rules of international competition.
They all have their own goals waiting to be achieved.
"Also, you've been holding on for so long, it's a pity to give up suddenly......"
The two chatted for a while, then hung up the phone and walked to the dormitory.
There was no training yesterday, and Shu Ran was a little weak-hearted, so she got up early the next morning and went to the training ground.
I had just sat down to change my skates when I heard footsteps outside.
In the empty ice rink, the sound of footsteps is exceptionally clear.
The visitor finally walked in, revealing his true form.
Seeing each other, both sides were stunned, and the person who came did not hide the disdain in their eyes.
Liang Yue took her skates and sat on the chair on the other side, and said while changing her shoes, "I thought I had encountered a ghost in broad daylight, but it turned out to be a champion." ”
Shu Ran directly ignored her existence, which made Liang Yue even more unhappy, so she turned on her firepower, "I moved away when I let go of the cruel words, I thought you were so good, but you still moved back in disgrace." Why, your handsome coach doesn't want you anymore?"
Shu Ran's action of tying his shoelaces stiffened slightly, and then he got up and squinted at Liang Yue with a cold look to the bone, and Liang Yue, who was looking straight at it, also felt empty.
In the end, she didn't say anything and went to the entrance of the ice rink to pick up the skate cover.
"Cut-" Liang Yue sneered, "I want to see how many champions will rank in the team." ”
In last year's team test, Shu Ran ranked fifth, almost at the bottom, and still wants to win the Winter Olympics?
Liang Yue's fierce eyes tightly clenched the elegant figure on the field.
It's impossible for her to be Liang Yue, let alone a perennial bottom player, just wait to see the joke this afternoon.
The illness is like a thread, and Shu Ran can't keep up with her physical fitness all day today, which makes Liang Yue feel dark for a while.
Finally, when it's time for the team test, the weight and height are measured as usual, and these data will also become part of the team test, although it is not a large proportion, but it is a key data at some moments.
Shu Ran's data is perfect, and she secretly thanks Fu Yiqing in her heart for her strict requirements during this time.
This year, the senior and youth groups were tested separately, and together with the two juniors who were promoted this year, a total of five people participated in the women's singles test.
This year, no international referees from ISU were invited, but the scoring staff were all professional international referees.
Shu Ran gently swept her gaze over the referee's area again.
Wait a minute, Qin Liubei is also a referee?
"Qin Liubei is black technology. ”
A familiar voice appeared behind him, and Shu Ran turned around and found that it was indeed Fu Yiqing.
The rest of the team looked at him.
Liang Yue's eyes were full of disdain.
The order of the team test is the results of last year's test, and Shu Ran was at the bottom last year, so she was naturally the first to play.
Shu Ran has always practiced alone, and today she suddenly wanted to skate in front of her enemy Liang Yue, Shu Ran suddenly felt a little nervous and worried, worried that if she couldn't be ashamed, she wouldn't even be able to win against Liang Yue, how could she participate in international competitions?
Suddenly, a steady stream of warmth was transmitted from the palm of her hand into Shu Ran's body, making her restless heart that had nowhere to put it inexplicably calm.
"Our goal has always been the Winter Olympics and nothing else. ”
When the test finally began, I heard the radio shouting: "Test Player No. 1, Shu Ran." ”
Shu Ran didn't look back, skated into the center of the ice, and only glanced at Fu Yiqing superficially, his expression was indifferent, as if he attached importance to the results of this test.
Shu Ran finally understood the meaning of what he said just now.
The tension on her face finally faded, she smiled slightly, and settled her posture, her eyes washed away, and confidence swept the earth.
Seeing that Shu Ran finally showed his best condition, the tight string in Fu Yiqing's heart was finally released, and he let go of his hand that was tightly clenched into a fist, only to realize that he was sweating a lot in his palm.
