The day after this incident, everyone went to the rink to practice as usual. Xu Haoyang glanced at Jiang Xin secretly, her appearance didn't look too abnormal, anyway, ordinary people would not show their emotions on their faces. He didn't know how she cleaned up the mess in the dance studio, and it seemed that he didn't want to know anymore.

He suddenly remembered a sentence:

After liking for a long time, it becomes a habit, however, after the habit disappears for some reason, the liking will also disappear.

It seems that he really doesn't have any reason to like her anymore.

What is gone, you can't get it back.

He shook his head slightly, turning his gaze back completely.

In between almost all the practice, Xu Haoyang and Han Lu played the song "The Impossible Dream" in their headphones, and until the official competition began, they needed to immerse themselves in the song, looking for that feeling of being Don Quixote.

Amy and Coach Sun kept explaining this piece and this story to them, so that they felt that they were Don Quixote, and even, they didn't know where they heard that the team doctor Zhao Zhixin had studied this piece quite a lot, so they directly and forcibly brought him in to explain it together.

Zhao Zhixin was actually a little embarrassed to speak, he was not the kind of person who could take out the things in his heart and lungs to talk about it, but in the end, he let it go, and won a round of applause.

The reason why they worked so hard for Han Lu and Xu Haoyang to understand the piece together is because although each athlete will have their own unique interpretation of the music, in pairs skating, it requires two people to reach an emotional consensus on the music they want to express together, and they must use the same emotion to understand the music in order to be able to make the most appropriate interpretation at the most appropriate time.

- to implement a ...... A dream that can't be realized.

Fight for the right thing.

No doubts and stays.

Don Quixote rode his spear to the windmill, and his spear struck the windmill's wings, but the wind blew the windmill's wings, breaking the spear into several pieces, and throwing the horse and the knight down on the field.

At this time, Xu Haoyang threw his female companion into the air with all his strength - Han Lu used the force of the thrown to make two and a half turns in the air, and then landed steadily on the ice and slid out without any hesitation - this was still a little short of the standard, but this was the first time they had completed this crucial double move.

Han Lu's heart was beating very fast, it was terrible, she thought, no, this might be good - but she thought it was terrible, this was the first time she had done an action completely with the help of other people's strength, this action was done averagely, she knew, but she didn't think it was a bad feeling.

It was an emotion she had never experienced before, and at the same time, deep within her, there was a deep ambivalence brewing in her, that she didn't want to face anything unknown, that she didn't want to surrender herself to anything uncertain—she had thought so for a long time, and yet, when that uncertainty didn't make her feel bad, she felt that things were starting to go bad.

However, it is in this uncertainty that people can move forward.

The success of this toss and jump also caused cheers from other team members, and Zhang Lei rushed over directly and hugged Xu Haoyang.

"Hao Yangyang!! Hao Yangyang is so powerful!!Sister Han Lu, you can throw it...... No, Sister Han Lu can also be thrown up by you! Bah, no, you can actually ...... Sister Han Lu."

"Shut up for me. Zijun kicked him with the tip of his shoe.

"Not yet. Xu Haoyang said, "It's still far away." ”

"Come little by little! Step by step! Eat one bite at a time, right? Turn three weeks today, turn four weeks tomorrow! Turn eight weeks the day after tomorrow!!"

Han Lu panted and stood aside, saw Chen Tingyuan also sliding over, and congratulated Xu Haoyang and her on the success of the first jump.

"Brother Haoyang, Sister Han Lu, you can't see it yourself, but your movements are very smooth," he said, "very smooth and graceful." ”

Xu Haoyang noticed that Chen Tingyuan was practicing alone, and Jiang Xin didn't seem to appear on the ice rink for three days. This is not normal, he can be sure that every day is extremely precious when she is nervously preparing for a new song for the new season, and she is extremely irresponsible for her partner in doing so.

He didn't know if anyone had told Chen Tingyuan or reminded the coach.

But it seems to be a difficult thing to solve, they may know, understand, but they won't want to do anything.

Because the adult world is such a rule, because there are always people who will be sacrificed in all kinds of accidents and accidents.

“…… Jiang Xin is absent?" he hesitated and asked.

Chen Tingyuan shook his head at first, and then immediately added: "She will come back in the evening, and we said that we would discuss the new choreography in the evening." ”

"Time is running out. Xu Haoyang said, "You can discuss the choreography with Teacher Amy first." ”

"I ...... Is that okay?"

"You don't want to be affected by her rhythm. Xu Haoyang said, "When she is not there, you practice your part alone." ”

When Liu Bofei gave further guidance to their "The Impossible Dream", Xu Haoyang couldn't help but mention the situation of Chen Tingyuan and Jiang Xin to Liu Bofei at the end, and he believed that it was necessary for the coaching staff to give more help to this newcomer who was not yet twenty years old, not only technically, but also mentally.

Because, he said, people are more susceptible to outside influences when they are younger. It's easy to go down a very different path because of an achievement or a failure—or even a potentially trivial accident.

He didn't want that to happen.

"I see. Liu Bofei said, "I will do my best." ”

"Hmm. Xu Haoyang nodded, "There are ...... more"

"What?"

I retract my previous words. He said, referring to those words that had been in the office earlier. "I'm sorry. ”

Liu Bofei smiled and reached out to pat the young player's shoulder, and at the same time there was a faint uneasiness and guilt in his heart.

When people are young, Xu Haoyang said this, they will take different paths because of one achievement and failure.

Depending on which direction they go, it is their own heart, and their will. Some strong-willed people can withstand all the pressure and injuries and continue to move forward. And people who are not so strong-willed may think that this is the end of everything.

After the former succeeds, they may call the pressure and injury of the past in front of the public as their wealth on the road to growth, but no, at least Xu Haoyang thinks that it is not. Stress is pressure, injury is injury, and failures that could have been avoided are failures that could have been avoided.

He believes that "strong-willed enough to withstand everything" should not be allowed to become the benchmark for one thing, which is the kind of thinking that a very bad superior person would have. There is only one champion, but this is a champion based on a completely fair and just duel.

He hopes that all those who are able can avoid some unnecessary injuries and obstacles.

Instead of saying to children "the world is like this" and letting them endure, adults help them make the world a better place.

After finishing the training, Xu Haoyang returned to the dormitory and heard two gentle knocks on the door. He walked over to open the door, and it was Zhang Lei in pajamas standing outside.

“…… What's wrong?" he asked.

"Can you get in?"

"Come in. ”

Xu Haoyang poured Zhang Lei a glass of water, and the two sat side by side on the bed, Zhang Lei paused and asked, "Has Jiang Xin contacted you recently?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"I've heard, just heard. I heard that she may be planning to leave. ”

"Let's go?"

"Well, I'm not staying with us anymore, I'm going to a club opened by a foreigner. ”

“…… There have been precedents for this before. ”

"Because we both got that stupid ...... That Mueller stupid...... That Mueller! We also got an invitation from that Mueller. There was a Korean in it who was said to be short of a partner, so he fell in love with Jiang Xin. ”

"Koreans?" Xu Haoyang frowned, "Is that a Korean representing China, or is she ......?"

"Who knows. Zhang Lei shook his head, "You have to say that the team really treats her well." Haoyang, I didn't say bad things about her in front of you, or I felt that what she did a few days ago was quite inauthentic, and she insisted on asking Chen Tingyuan to be a person, but as a result, I dismantled other people's children and partnered with him, and made you a waste of a season...... Is there a suitable player in the team for you, can she know? I think she ......" Zhang Lei was indignant.

"Alright. Xu Haoyang said, "It's in the past." ”

"That's what I'm talking about. She made this whole thing, and got Wang Liu to Russia, with what Russian coach...... It's said that it is special training, but in fact, everyone knows it. Don't say what will happen in the future, who knows what will happen in the future, but people just can't get by now, such a big child. ”

The more Zhang Lei spoke, the more energetic he became, and after a while, he drank three glasses of water.

"It's mainly last Sunday night, I came out to throw garbage or what, Chen Tingyuan was talking on the phone in the corridor, I came back after throwing it and saw the child finished the phone, standing on the edge of the corridor and crying, so scared that I hurriedly took the house to coax and ask...... As a result, it was not a big deal, but the new partner skated very aggrieved, stressed, didn't know how to work hard, and didn't know if he could do it. That's not a big deal, but what else is a big deal? ”

"......" Xu Haoyang lowered his head and thought for a moment, "What about Wang Liu, when will he come back from Russia?"

"I don't know. Zhang Lei said, "If you really don't want her to come back, even if she comes back from Russia this time, she will go to the United States if she can say that she will get the United States." ”

“……”

"Haoyang?"

“…… It's okay. Xu Haoyang shook his head.

He understood the feeling, he thought.

That feeling of not being able to grasp anything.

It seems like nothing works.

The feeling of not being able to put your feet on the ground.

No matter how hard you try, you don't feel a sense of accomplishment.

He'd had enough of it, and he really didn't want anyone else to repeat it, if possible.
