The French contestant's show sounded again in the last, the familiar "Faun Afternoon", but this time the audience was a little tired, after having seen such a wonderful performance, they were not too willing to let other shows break the good aftertaste in their hearts so quickly.

Although the audience decided that there would not be two surprises in one day, Liu Bofei still held his breath nervously.

When the prelude to the song sounded and the two of them made preparations, Liu Bofei's face changed.

This song was exactly the same as the one he had heard before, given to him by someone who claimed to be Han Lu's father.

It seems more complicated than expected.

"What's wrong?" Xu Haoyang noticed that his expression was wrong and asked.

"It's fine. Liu Bofei shook his head. Once again, he was glad that he hadn't told them about it, and if Han Lu knew about it, he couldn't imagine how she would react.

These troublesome, irrelevant ones only bother her, and the less she knows, the better.

Liu Bofei silently kept this matter in his heart, and waited until he returned to China, he thought, after returning to China, he wanted to find out what was going on.

A lot of points were deducted because of the mistake in the short program the day before, and this time in the Grand Prix final, Han Lu and Xu Haoyang ranked third, with a difference of 6.4 points from the first place. When they stood on the podium after a long absence, waving to the world, the heat in their chests and eyes never subsided.

Ice fans had never seen Han Lu's expression like this, as if she was still in the role of the song and had not come out, holding the bronze medal in her hand, the corners of her mouth softly upturned.

In the past, if she had won a third place, she would have to take the medal off her neck on the spot and throw her face off.

Discussion posts about the game soon came out on the forum, from "Afternoon of the Faun" to Debussy, from the interpretation of the track to their understanding, writing tens of thousands of words at length, which seemed to be reasonable, and stunned those who didn't understand it.

Someone on the third floor replied: It's not Han Lu fan, but this show is really touching. I think she's also having a lot of fun skating.

Then this reply directly took the style of the post away, and everyone lined up this message again and again, and some people even said that this was the closest to the ideal figure skating performance of all the programs he had seen since Han Lu's debut.

Under the overwhelming praise, after Han Lu returned to her hotel room after the celebration banquet, she clearly knew that the bronze medal in her hand this time was only a fluke, and it was because of the absence of Duhamel and Eric that they had a chance to stand on the podium.

However, she couldn't contain the excitement that the performance brought her. Although she had tried her best not to be too happy and deliberately remained silent, she still couldn't calm her inner throbbing for hours after the game was over.

She didn't even dare to remove her makeup, she didn't dare to go to sleep, she was afraid that when she woke up, everything would be back to square one.

However, what she didn't know was that at this time, in addition to the praise on the Internet, another voice appeared. It has been pointed out that one of the nine referees, a Chinese referee surnamed Yin, who is the No. 7 referee in the short program and No. 9 in the free skate, has a tendency to favor domestic athletes in scoring points.

This kind of voice has actually happened in the past, but whenever it involves the subjective judgment of people, the scoring of the game will always be susceptible to various forms of questioning. Liu Bofei saw this discussion post for the first time, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Their performance is there for all to see, and he has that confidence.

The day after returning to the training center, Lu Bolin visited again. He came a short time before heading to the airport, just in time for the players to train. He called Liu Bofei out and told him that he had something to talk to him about.

They sat in Liu Bofei's single office, and Lu Bolin did not drag out the time vaguely, but directly cut to the topic.

"Has Han Lu's father been here?" he asked.

Liu Bofei immediately became nervous.

"At this Grand Prix," Lu Bolin continued, "didn't there be two songs of 'Afternoon of the Faun'. What do you think?"

"Do you know what?"

"I think you've already thought of it. Lu Bolin said, "That pair of foreigners deliberately chose the same tune, just to cause trouble for Han Lu and them." The referee and the spectator are human beings, and as long as they are human beings, there is definitely no way to be absolutely objective. As long as the repetition of the song can affect the audience's perception, they have already won half of the game, and it would be even more perfect if they could also win in terms of scores. ”

"That's what I thought. Liu Bofei nodded and admitted, "But how did they know about Han Lu's song selection?"

Lu Bolin smiled.

"Someone told them. Liu Bofei said, "That's ......"

He remembered the Super Cup before the start of that season, where Chen Tingyuan and Wang Liu had competed with Jiang Xin.

The two children......

Liu Bofei figured out a clue. In fact, he had a vague idea in his heart before, but he was unwilling to be convinced.

The vicious competition between athletes has never stopped. It's just that he never wanted to believe that Jiang Xin would also be the one who did such a thing.

Chen Tingyuan and Wang Liu are still very young, and he doesn't want them to feel that what they love and trust deeply, and think that as long as they work hard, everything can go smoothly, there will be these unsightly things in it.

Liu Bofei wants to try his best to cover up such a side, so that the younger generation can enjoy the sport in its purest form, and it can be said that it is a matter of pride for them to choose to become figure skaters when they retire.

But his overprotection, or perhaps also a disservice.

"Then," Lu Bolin said, "they felt that it was still not enough, so they planned to go one step further and play a more ruthless one, even with the same arrangement, probably not to be regarded as a coincidence." ”

"How do you know?" asked Liu Bofei, "You know about Han Lu's father." ”

Lu Bolin shrugged his shoulders noncommittally.

"I know. "Probably before you know, more than you know." ”

"You don't give me the idea to hit this. Liu Bofei stared at him, "Don't think about making a fuss about this matter, don't think about making a big news for your own benefit." Every athlete is a human being, not a pawn for you. ”

"An athlete who is willing to be a chess piece...... How many do you think?" Lu Bolin smiled, "Did you find that you have always put me on the opposite side of you. ”

"This is probably her last season. Liu Bofei said, "Other people, according to what you said, people who are willing to be your pawns, you can go to whoever you want, when did I interfere with you? What you said to Jiang Xin before ......?"

If it weren't for you, Jiang Xin wouldn't have come this far.

He wanted to say that, but held back.

Things have happened, and things are not that simple.

"Let's get down to business. Lu Bolin said, "The man who came here last time and gave you the CD is actually not Han Lu's father. ”

"What?"

That's the trick that Muller and SeeA came up with together. Lu Bolin said, "They knew that Han Lu's father had left her early, and deliberately asked someone who looked like her to pretend to be her father to come back to her, and then lured her to use that tune under the pretext of giving her help." Once she uses it, the results of this Grand Prix will have to be reshuffled. ”

“……”

Liu Bofei was silent.

"That's it. Lu Bolin said.

"It's so sick. Liu Bofei thought back to that day in the conference room, and he gritted his teeth when he talked to the man—especially when he fucking talked to him heart-to-heart. "Do you people think about these things all day long?"

"Why did you bring me in again. Lu Bolin smiled helplessly, "You feel sick, but in fact, for them, this is a matter that does not cost much, but once it is successful, it will have unlimited benefits." ”

"No, use your brains on the right path......," Liu Bofei scolded.

Lu Bolin smiled noncommittally and stood up.

"It's almost time. He said, "That's what I'm here to tell you about it." ”

"You wait. Liu Bofei stopped him, "Do you know who Han Lu's real father is?"

"I know about it. "But I don't know who he is." To be honest, I've tried to get people to find him, but nothing has come of it. ”

"I'll tell you again......"

"I know. Lu Bolin spread his hands, "If I wanted to, then I did it a long time ago." ”

"What do you think of Han Lu?" Liu Bofei asked, "She doesn't understand the messy things in the hearts of you people, and when others treat her well, she thinks it's sincere." If you really want to help her now—" he paused, "you'd better not get involved in the future." ”

"Does she only eat flawless apples?" asked Lu Bolin.

"What?"

"Does she only accept the purest things?" Lu Bolin put it another way, "In order to achieve our goals, we often can't take care of the process." knows that the two people are telling lies face to face, but they will cooperate and play a good show, as long as the result is good, it doesn't matter what the process is like. ”

"What do you think?" asked Liu Bofei.

"I kind of understand. "She only eats flawless apples." Is there a perfect apple in the world?"

"You can't eat it. Liu Bofei said sharply, "However, apples exist." If there were only a handful of people in the world who could eat it, she would be one of them. ”

"Okay. Lu Bolin finally smiled, "Then again, Coach Liu." He looked at him, "You don't necessarily want to hear what I say, but ...... What you think, what you have done, if the person does not know anything all the time, is not necessarily a good thing for him. Overprotection, and perhaps a disservice, can also be a disservice. ”
