"Sister Han Lu is in danger this time. ”

After Jiang Xin changed into skates and walked inside, he said such a sentence.

"It's normal for her to challenge four weeks of difficulty at her age. Xu Haoyang said lightly.

"Hey, hey, are you ageist about girls?" Jiang Xin jokingly cried, "That's not okay. Girls don't care how old they are, they're all little girls. ”

"Yes, little girl. Xu Haoyang smiled, "Can you start?"

Xu Haoyang and Jiang Xin, soon after they joined the figure skating junior team led by Liu Bofei when they were 10 years old, they formed a pair skating partner at Liu Bofei's suggestion.

In Liu Bofei's eyes, Jiang Xin, who is petite and flexible, and Xu Haoyang, who has shown super talent in power movements such as throwing and jumping, twisting and turning, are a rare pair of golden partners, and if they grow up all the way, they have the opportunity to become a new generation of legends in pairs skating.

But......

Looking at their achievements year after year, Liu Bofei fell silent.

Seven years ago, they won the junior championship for the first time in the senior Grand Prix, finishing fourth in Canada and fifth in Russia. After that, they made great progress all the way, winning the fourth place in the Four Continents Competition, the runner-up in the Friendship Games, the champion of the Grand Prix in China, the runner-up in the United States, the third place in France, and the third place in the finals. At the same time, with the excellent appearance of the two people, they were once called the real golden boy and girl by others.

That was four years ago.

However, since then, they have not achieved any impressive results, which is related to the sudden mushrooming of stars in several big figure skating countries, and the bigger problem lies with themselves.

Xu Haoyang's huge talent when he was young, for some reason, became less and less obvious as he grew up. Although, in general, as the body develops, it is normal for athletes to find that movements that they were able to do easily now become difficult. But Xu Haoyang ......

In Liu Bofei's view, Xu Haoyang's former talent is like being forcibly sealed in an inconspicuous place in his body by something outside, and under the premise that he has not touched it for a long time, it seems that even the owner of the talent has gradually forgotten where the talent is.

Although he couldn't be sure, he had a vague feeling. It may also be that he doesn't want to believe that the player he once favored has gone all the way to mediocrity.

And, more terrible than going to mediocrity, is getting used to mediocrity.

Liu Bofei doesn't know if Xu Haoyang has such a dangerous psychological tendency - he just can't suppress the worry and panic in his heart after watching many such players.

Xu Haoyang shouldn't have stopped there.

On the other hand, his partner Jiang Xin, this lively girl did not show much special talent compared to other female players when she was young, when she was young, she was more like Xu Haoyang's little tail, and he took him to practice and participate in the selection until she won a medal in the form of a double combination. After that, with the help of their momentary influence, they quickly took over a set of commercial advertisements for sports brands, and the person in charge was Lu Bolin, who had not yet stood on his own at that time, and with the help of his parents' resources and connections, he tried the waters in this "sports entertainment" circle.

Han Lu, Xu Haoyang, Jiang Xin. These three people, too, really became known to the public as "sports stars" from that time.

However, because the resources are limited after all, and Han Lu's light is too dazzling, this makes Lu Bolin and the shareholders naturally focus on Han Lu. Although there are also advertisers whose main appeal is "couples, emotion, sweetness" to find Xu Haoyang and Jiang Xin, compared to Han Lu, it can be said that they are some brands that cannot become a big climate.

Jiang Xin was dissatisfied with this, and Liu Bofei could see it.

Moreover, although he is not so willing to admit it, Liu Bofei also knows that this girl, who did not receive much attention when she was young, now shows the dual strength of technology and art, which is actually not so equal to Xu Haoyang. Now, as one of the team's three pairs, Xu Haoyang and Jiang Xin's performance is on a relatively fringe compared to the other two groups.

The problem lies with Xu Haoyang.

A voice said: The only advantage of Xu Haoyang's product is that he can hug his thighs.

Miss Jiang Xin would have won a medal a long time ago if she had changed her partner.

What are the advantages of this kind of waste besides having a good face? In the era of looking at faces, anyone can be on top.

Replacing a more suitable male partner for Jiang Xin once became a topic for the coaching staff. But one is that it has been too long to consider the combination of two people, and the other is that there are no suitable other players in the team, and the team has discussed it a few times, so it will be shelved.

As for Jiang Xin's own considerations, they are a little ambiguous and incomprehensible. Liu Bofei feels more and more that this girl's lively personality is just her appearance, she is a very forbearant character on the inside, and very ruthless at critical moments. This is true for yourself and for others. As long as it is something that she believes is right, she will do it very decisively.

She has a lot of patience and accurate judgment when it comes to "timing".

"The star agency found me. After finishing a round of practice, Jiang Xin leaned on the sidebar and said to Xu Haoyang. "Ask if we are interested in going on a variety show together. ”

"Another variety show?" Xu Haoyang frowned, "How long will it take?"

"The exact one hasn't been decided yet, but the location is in Iceland, and it's estimated that it will take five days to a week or so?"

"It's been too long. ”

"It's been a long time. Jiang Xin said, "That issue was about ice and snow. It's the concept of 'sports for all, on the snow and ice', and I want us to be guests and judges and so on. ”

"I'm not interested. Xu Haoyang shook his head, "Moreover, I would like to discuss the new tunes and choreography with the teacher." ”

"I knew you would say that. Jiang Xin shrugged his shoulders and ended the topic. "What's new?"

"I'm still composing music, and I'm going to use it for the next competition. ”

"That's good. Jiang Xin said, "When it's done, I'll listen to it." ”

"Aren't you going to discuss the choreography together?"

"I'll go if I have time. Jiang Xin replied, "You know, I just took an advertisement. It's the one who came to us before, and it specializes in pure natural mineral water. So it might be a bit busy lately. ”

"You took it?"

"I took it. Jiang Xin nodded.

Her attitude was too frank and natural, so Xu Haoyang didn't know what to say. Anyway, he didn't know what to say in front of her, what not to say for a long time, and this time was no exception.

"This variety show, I hope you can think about it more. "It's a good opportunity for us, and it's good and harmless." ”

A good opportunity, Xu Haoyang also roughly understands after dealing with his agent a few times that the "opportunity" here refers to their commercial value, which is based on their identity as athletes, and the attention and praise they have received far exceed their own strength.

Xu Haoyang was terrified. But at the beginning, he tried to adapt to her ideas and practices because he knew how much he was dragging his partner back, and wanted to make up for her as much as possible. Later, however, the agency seemed to have tasted the sweetness, and the business offers became more and more intensified, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to turn away most of the invitations that he considered "meaningless".

Regarding Xu Haoyang's refusal, Jiang Xin neither protested nor communicated with him, but just took over all the commercial activities, advertisements, and endorsements that he could accept by himself. Her pure and lovely appearance is indeed loved by advertisers and audiences, and gradually, Jiang Xin's image in the hearts of the public has begun to break away from the limitation of the framework of "Xu Haoyang's partner", but has become a "beautiful figure skater" independently. This led to some people even looking for Jiang Xin's name in the women's singles competition, and only realized after the search failed: Ah, it turns out that she is a double player and has a male partner.

"I'm not used to variety shows. Xu Haoyang said, "I hope you can also try to be as ...... as possible in this regard" He wanted to say to be restrained, but he felt that the tone sounded too serious, so he changed the word with difficulty: "I hope you can also try to control it as much as possible." We have a lot less time to train together than Zhang Lei and Zijun. And the new choreography is important, and we need your opinion. ”

Zhang Lei and Zijun are another pair of pair skaters in the team, and they are also the focus of training now. Zijun is very tall among female players, which is a disadvantage in the double event, after all, the higher the height, the greater the test of the physical condition and strength of the male players, but fortunately, Zhang Lei is also tall, and when the whole person walks into the ice rink, his body is filled with a kind of domineering spirit of "no matter who the father can lift". These two people, after a long run-in, at this time everything finally began to go smoothly.

"It's important......"

Jiang Xin repeated it ambiguously.

"What's wrong?" Xu Haoyang asked.

"No, nothing. Jiang Xin shook his head, "Then you go and discuss, and we'll communicate after the discussion." ”

"I think ......"

He felt that Jiang Xin should focus more on training. This is what he intends to say, but he does not have enough confidence to say it. Everyone can use his current results to demean him worthless, and it can be said that he is earning popularity empty-handed with a face, but he only hopes that Jiang Xin can understand him.

He wanted her to understand what kind of person she was.

Even if everyone thinks he has no hope, she can still be there for him like this.

Xu Haoyang's words were halfway through, but he was stuck in mid-air due to hesitation and helplessness, and then was picked up by Jiang Xin.

"I know what you mean. Jiang Xin said, "The training will not be delayed." ”

“…… Well. ”

"Haoyang. Jiang Xin looked at him, "I told you, you can try it, open yourself, don't just stare in one direction." ”
