Consistent with Amy's prediction, Jiang Xin and Chen Tingyuan's performance in this season was not satisfactory. Moreover, during this period of time, because of the agency's single-handed focus on building, Jiang Xin's popularity has skyrocketed as she wishes, and even outsiders who don't pay attention to figure skating know her name. Along with the praise, a lot of doubts and slanders also hit her, and Chen Tingyuan was unfortunately affected.

said that he was maliciously on the throne, it was better to simply give up the quota if he didn't have the strength, the retribution for abandoning his old partner without conscience would come quickly, he missed Xu Haoyang like grass on the wall, and even more malicious, and there was a random P picture, which directly encroached on his Weibo comment area for a while.

Wang briefly comforted him, telling him not to be influenced by the comments of unrelated people online, and took full responsibility for the team's poor results in the post-match press conference.

"We should give young people time. He said so.

It is no exaggeration to say that this season, their results are indeed terrible, except for Zhang Lei and Zijun who worked hard to hold a bronze medal at the World Championships, the Chinese figure skating team has not achieved anything. Disappointed ice fans, no matter what attitude they had towards Han Lu before, they had to admit when they recalled the past few years that Han Lu had single-handedly supported the entire figure skating team before.

They can't help but start to feel nostalgic for the era when they were dominated by "Black Widow".

So, when they learned that Han Lu would be participating in a commercial performance in Deeslaw, USA, everyone's interest was aroused.

Commercial performances, mostly held by individual countries or individual athletes during the off-season of figure skating, will invite current or retired athletes and some singers and stars to perform, usually lasting three days, will be broadcast live on TV, and some will be broadcast on the big screen in cinemas. Last year, Jiang Xin and Xu Haoyang went to South Korea to participate in such a performance. Han Lu has also participated in the past.

This is Han Lu's first comeback after his injury, and people on and off the field can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It goes without saying that the results of this show are important.

The pressure of the performance is not trivial, and just two years ago, Han Lu would not have believed that she would be nervous because of the gaze of the cameras and the audience. She took a breath and took off her coat, revealing the performance costume underneath.

There was applause and scattered screams from the audience.

Many domestic media reporters came to the scene, because of her comeback, this ordinary performance that would not have caused too many waves in China attracted the attention of countless people, and they were all waiting to see her performance.

Without hesitation, Han Lu slid into the ice rink amid the applause of the scene.

The first note rang out, and an icy melody poured out.

The piece is cold and harsh, with a long, oppressive cello sound outlining the sound of a cold wind howling in the valley. Not long after Han Lu debuted, he once used it to contribute an amazing performance.

Her lightweight back and outside the ice is followed by a three-week video, and the number of views continues to climb to this day.

She slowly closed her eyes, immersed in the music.

When she raised a hand and raised her head in preparation, the audience fell silent.

This song seems to take her back to the past, to her peak twenties. The music made her feel like she was standing on the cold frontier of the world, tossed here at an unknown time, by someone with an unknown surname. She slid out the first few movements, spun in place to spy on the world. This is the plot before the arrival of the blizzard.

The music suddenly began to rise, and her movements sped up. The wind lifted, the snow began to fall, and she made her first jump, desperately searching for an exit from the harsh wilderness. To the sound of a rapid violin, she made a combination jump, and the blades fell to the ground as heavy snow fell from the branches.

The roads became thinner, narrower, and more elusive.

As the second triple jump ended on the ice, she fell unsteady on one knee on the ice. And the music happened to stop suddenly, and this mistake seemed to the audience to be a deeper understanding and interpretation of music. The aborted music symbolizes the end of the dream, and the dancer, who stands unsteadily, slams into the border between dream and reality.

The melodious cello sound sounded again, and Han Lu also stood up again very quickly. What is this melody saying?

She breathed hard into the ice rink air - the end of the dream, or the illusion of calm before consciousness vanished?

When the notes fell completely silent, she also came to rest in the middle of the rink. Her breathing was very rapid, which accelerated her return to the real world.

She played very well - which made Zhao Zhixin, who was holding a breath on the sidelines, finally find his breath.

It was rare to see that she did not change the triple jump they had discussed into a quadruple jump without authorization, as she had done countless times in the past, and Liu Bofei should have been glad for this.

However, or like the people who gave a standing ovation at the scene, everyone in the world thought that this was a preview of Han Lu's perfect return, but Liu Bofei knew in his heart that this was just an illusion.

Han Lu walked back to the preparation area amid thunderous applause and cheers, and put his coat on his head without a sound. However, the noise in the arena still irritated her, and she got up and walked in the direction of the bathroom. At this time, the phone she kept in her coat pocket vibrate.

It was Han Shuhua calling.

Frankly, she didn't want to answer the call at all.

Han Shuhua only made her mood worse.

"Congratulations. On the other end of the phone, Han Shuhua said in her usual cold tone.

Han Lu let out a sneer.

"What's wrong?"

"You don't have to see anything, do you? Han Lu said, "What are you congratulating me?"

"I've seen it all. Han Shuhua said, "The second three weeks fell, which is normal." ”

"It's not normal. Han Lu shook her head. It took a lot of effort on her part to make the jump - perhaps in the eyes of the outside world with infinite optimism, it was her way of preserving her strength, but in fact it was not, and this was already the limit of what she could do at this stage.

"It's normal for you right now. ”

Han Shuhua added slowly.

“……”

"Are you sure you don't think about announcing your retirement next season?" Han Shuhua asked, "Are you sure you want to fight to the end in your current state, and finally end up with a lifelong disability and be carried off the field?" Maybe it will be written into history. ”

“……”

"What's wrong?"

"No way. Han Lu ended the silence and replied through gritted teeth. "I'm not retiring. Don't even think about it. ”

"Me?" Han Shuhua laughed, "What do I think?"

"I don't know what you're thinking, but I bet nothing good is there. Han Lu said. She lost the gold medal at the Winter Olympics - this incident is likely to be ridiculed by Han Shuhua for the rest of her life, and she feels terrible just thinking about it, and she will not allow such a thing to happen.

"I'm just going to give you a piece of advice to clear up your head, which doesn't know how to turn. ”

"Turning to pair skating?" Han Lu said suddenly.

In figure skating, both women and men started to practice singles. Later, after entering more professional training, the program will be selected according to the individual's strength. Among them, only the best players can really develop into single skating. The rest of the people whose overall strength is relatively average, or those who have a special preference for pairs skating, will choose to skate pairs.

Later, many female skaters who were eliminated from solo skating due to injury or other reasons, who were not strong enough to support solo movements, and who were unwilling to retire, would turn to pair skating.

Han Lu has been in the figure skating team for so many years, and has witnessed many people choose this path, and also witnessed their fall again on this second path.

Unwilling to end their athletic careers, and with the last hope of touching a medal, they broke the skating skills they were good at, knocked down the pride of the solo period, and let everything start over. Turn yourself into an appendage, a prop for a male contestant - at least that's what Han Shuhua said.

No matter how much you emphasize that pairs skating is a two-person sport, and there is no male dominance, in Han Lu's eyes, there is no way to ignore the fact that female pair skaters have to be carried and tossed around by their partners.

She didn't think any man was qualified to do that to her.

They're all cowards. Whether it is his father, Liu Bofei, or the two hundred and five who can't figure out how many catties and taels he has, he wasted his talent in vain.

When she thought of Xu Haoyang she saw on TV that day, she couldn't help but feel angry.

And, more importantly, she doesn't want to pin her hopes of victory on others. She doesn't like it and she doesn't get used to it.

"Coach Liu has said it a long time ago. Han Lu said into the phone.

Liu Bofei's proposal to Han Lu to let her slide from single to double was when she clearly rejected Wang Ximing's retirement proposal after returning to China.

Han Lu believes that Wang Ximing's suggestion to make her a coach, a commentator, or a commercial star at this time is completely insulting her personality, even if Wang Ximing himself does not mean this. In his opinion, this is a path that all athletes must take, and he doesn't understand, why does Han Lu feel that he is special?

Wang Ximing was also a violent temper when he was young, and even the referee dared to be in a hurry, and he and Han Lu became comrades-in-arms because of the same goal, once the concepts were opposed, it was inevitable that there would be tension.

It was at this time that Liu Bofei said the idea that had been brewing in his heart for a long time, but he never knew where to speak.

Turn on pairs.

"If you want to keep skating, if you want to get a medal. Liu Bofei looked at Han Lu seriously, "You should consider this path." ”

"Oh?" Han Shuhua nodded as if on the other side of the phone, "Then he is smarter than I thought." ”

"Is this uncreative idea going to satisfy you so much?"

"Have you watched the match between those two people in Canada?" Han Shuhua suddenly asked.

Han Lu was stunned for a moment.

"What do you think?" asked Han Shuhua.

“…… They are strong. Han Lu confessed.

"Will you be able to defeat them?"

“…… If it's a pairs, it's not my problem. ”

"Then, can you defeat that woman?" Han Shuhua asked again. "If you're one-on-one with that woman?"
