19 New Sidekick (Part I)
"Han Lu's first performance on her comeback went smoothly and miraculously gave you a sense of artistic beauty – which was a lot of fun. ”
On the oversized screen TV in Deesley's Figure Skating Club, a sports commentary program is played. The host is a fat white man with flushed cheeks, wearing a tight suit, which looks a little funny. Originally a comedian, he embarked on the road of hosting four years ago and has since reaped the pinnacle of his career.
"Perhaps," he continued, "could it be that the injury opened the door to her new world? Maybe this time, our Iron Mask Judge, Daisy, will look the other way. And, having said that, I don't know if this is a resounding slap in the face to Princess Sissi, who categorically concluded that Han Lu would not come back? We haven't forgotten that she once said that if Han Lu came back, she would lick her skates. We'll see. ”
Princess Sissi is the nickname given by this host to the hostess of another more orthodox sports commentary show, she is known for her serious and arrogant personality, and she has never gotten along with this fat man who takes the funny and ridiculous route, the two are always arguing openly and secretly on the show, and the audience is used to it.
Duhamel and Eric were each biting on a lollipop, lying on the couch on their backs and staggered over each other. Duhamel's foot pressed against Eric's chest, and Eric's calf rested on Duhamel's shoulder. The two of them looked at the TV without looking at each other.
The rest of the club was already surprised by the way the two men looked when they got off the rink, and no one said anything, and no one looked at them much.
"Erik, who are you standing this time......
"Hmm...... I think I'll stand with Princess Sissi......"
"Why?"
"This LU doesn't seem to be the kind of person who will retain his strength. ”
"That's someone like Eric?"
"Well, yes. So if she didn't jump around this time, it means she couldn't jump around. ”
"If you want to win, you don't have to jump around. I'm tired...... I'm tired when I'm practicing, and if I fall, it will be humiliating. Duhamel said with sugar in his mouth. "Ahh I'm so hungry, people are so hungry. People want to eat pizza fried chicken hamburgers—"
"Ah, Duhamel. I'm hungry too, and I want to eat a hamburger, with five layers of beef patties and five layers of cheese!"
"And five layers of bacon!"
"Add five layers of tomatoes!"
"Why don't you add five more layers of roasted pineapple?"
"Ah, that's going to be a Hawaiian burger, my Duhamel. I want to go on vacation to Hawaii - sun, sand, bikini!"
"The sea, the parasols, the glowing flesh!"
"Hey, Duhamel, let's go on vacation—let's go on vacation when we're retired—"
"Eric, listen to me, let's retire and go on vacation—" Duhamel leaped from his partner's shoulder, kneeling on the couch like an obedient pet dog, staring at the instructor as he walked out of the office. Seeing this, Eric quickly followed Duhamel's movements, and in an instant, there were two more large pet dogs in the hall with wet eyes.
"Coach—"
"Coach ——————"
The two men shouted in unison.
Their coach, Hernandez, is a middle-aged man with a humorous face and a pair of sly eyes, but looking at his expression, you know that he is definitely not a bully. Generally speaking, characters such as secret doctors or lawyers in gangster movies are his looks.
He'll settle everything with a smile – whatever it is. The Deesley Club players have learned this point.
"Hawaii?" Hernandez repeated with a smile. "It's a great idea that we can consider a month-long intensive training session in Hawaii. ”
"Concentrate on training!" Duhamel screamed, "Please!
"Duhamel, put down the sugar in your hand. "Do you think you can relax in the offseason? Don't forget your 130-pound weight record and the weight loss training we had to do for you." ”
"Coach! 110 pounds! 110 pounds!" Duhamel protested.
"Really?"
"Don't play stupid for me here!" Duhamel said, the lollipop still in his mouth, his hand wrapped around Hernandez's arm. "By the way, Coach—"
She was about to say something, but paused as if she felt that something was not enough. Eric immediately understood what she meant, and he stepped forward and picked up his partner effortlessly so that she was high enough to hook the coach's neck.
"Let's discuss, if the coach doesn't allow us to retire and go on vacation, can we pry Yang to our club? People want him very much, people want to stay in the same space with him every day to feed him lollipops, people want to train with him and do this and that kind to him...... Would you like to send out an invitation to the Chinese team?"
Duhamel's obsession with Xu Haoyang is also known to the whole team. Many passers-by don't know what it is about this little-known, good-looking Asian young man who has a good face that will make their talent obsessed with it - this has almost become a personal secret between Duhamel and Eric.
WITH A LOOK OF "ONLY WE KNOW", ERIC MYSTERIOUSLY TOLD EVERYONE WHO HAD DOUBTS, INCLUDING THE COACH, THAT YANG WAS A GREAT TALENT AND THAT HE HAD GREAT POTENTIAL IN HIS BODY.
He is a wolf trapped in ice.
Eric says that once he awakens, he will be a threat to us.
"Yes!" Eric suddenly exclaimed, "Duhamel, we can't retire yet, we haven't gotten YANG yet!
"Eric, people want to be YANG's coach...... You see, Victor can go from Russia to Japan to coach Yongli! Let's go to China to coach YANG!"
"Don't mix animation with reality for me!" Hernandez was very helpless, and hit Duhamel on the head with a knife, "You two show me a little less animation." And ah, this strange way of speaking is almost the right thing to do, isn't it?
Duhamel puffed out his face, but his mind was seriously thinking about the coach.
"Which anime is ......?"
"Alright. Hernandez was ready to put an end to the farce, "Swallow your sugar." We're almost ready, we're going to have a meeting. ”
"THAT YANG'S THING ......"
"I'll think about him. "But you can guarantee that he will pass our tests." ”
In the figure skating world, except for China, which is the form of the national team, the rest of the countries unanimously adopt the club form. There are a lot of coaches and students of different nationalities in one club. Each person has a head coach and many assistant coaches to coach in different directions. Wait until the tournament is approaching before announcing the list of players selected for the national team.
At the end of the big tournaments, young players who have achieved excellent results receive offers from foreign clubs. Xu Haoyang has received it, and now Chen Tingyuan has also received it.
It's just that generally speaking, it's one thing whether the country lets people go, and none of these pair skaters themselves are willing to give up the more superior training conditions at home, which creates the impression that there are no Chinese athletes in foreign clubs.
Send Xu Haoyang abroad - before he and Jiang Xin officially split up, Liu Bofei had already considered this matter. Now, after Xu Haoyang's new partner has found a more suitable male partner, and he has to start practicing alone, he may have to reconsider.
However, there is another possibility in his heart, which is to take this opportunity to make Han Lu Xu Haoyang's partner.
Although Han Lu didn't nod her head at his last suggestion—she rarely nodded to admit that he was right even when she agreed with her own statement, but she didn't reject it as clearly as she rejected Wang Ximing.
This made him feel that there was hope for the matter.
However, when he mentioned his suggestion and the name Han Lu to Xu Haoyang, the boy, who was calm and cold no matter what happened, let out a sneer after a long silence.
Liu Bofei was stunned, and then he saw that the expression on Xu Haoyang's face was very complicated, as if it was a mixture of self-deprecation, anger, unwillingness and despair, and some emotions that he couldn't explain himself.
A woman who is strong enough, but has no artistic sensibility.
This is his impression of Han Lu.
At that time, Jiang Xin was instigated by Lu Bolin to break up with him, and he naturally knew about it. But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, but he also knows that his strength is not enough, which makes him unable to seriously defend himself.
But if the strength is not good, the strength will not be good, and Lu Bolin will be a bastard.
One yard to one yard.
Therefore, he didn't have any good feelings for this woman who was on Lu Bailin's way to the top and pretended to be tall.
"What do you mean?" he asked, "why don't you tell me frankly, my strength is not good, let me retire." ”
"What does that mean now? Are you embarrassed to mention it, let me take the initiative to retire?"
"First Jiang Xin, then her. Who's it for now?"
"Han Lu is twenty-nine this year, right?" Xu Haoyang looked at Liu Bofei, because of his emotional instability, he could feel his voice trembling. "She was injured and couldn't support her body to continue to be a single and wanted to turn into a double. It takes a male player to cooperate with her to realize her dream. ”
"What does she think of pairs skating? She spins casually, she thinks she's good, she almost won a Grand Slam, she doesn't have to spend time practicing?
"Not really. ”
Liu Bofei finally found a gap to interject the words, but before he could say the sentence "Han Lu hasn't agreed yet", he was immediately interrupted by Xu Haoyang again.
"What's that?" Xu Haoyang asked, "She has been adjusting for a year, and she thinks it's not good, and wants to pull someone to fulfill her dream." Then you remembered me. And what about me? How long can she skate? She was satisfied, she retired, and it looked like she had done everything she could, climbed to the finish line, and no one could say anything to her anymore. What about me?" he asked vigorously, "what about my own dreams?"
Liu Bofei didn't say anything for a while, he really didn't expect that this incident would make Xu Haoyang react so violently, and even before he started to talk about the specific details - even Han Lu's current situation had not been explained, he suddenly broke out.
"I'm sorry. Xu Haoyang said, "I don't accept it." ”
