They left the ice rink and sat down in the waiting area accompanied by Liu Bofei, and the solemn and ugly facial expressions of the two people were faithfully recorded by the camera and were being played on the TV screens of each house.

On the way to the other districts, Xu Haoyang also saw a lot of familiar or strange people looking at them with eyes containing various emotions, of course, or the person they wanted to look at was his partner, and they wanted to know how she was feeling at the moment more than him.

The wait for the scores to be released was a long one, much longer than any time before. When the scores came out, they were not surprised to see that this big jump mistake deducted points from their overall score, and in addition to that, there were also some technical points that were deducted for the substandard completion of the movements, which made them fall directly to a very low position, a little lower than anyone expected.

This result is difficult to accept, and months of hard work still brought an unsatisfactory ending.

Neither of them spoke, and there was no ripple on their faces. Liu Bofei, who was sitting in the middle, didn't know what to say, he didn't feel that Han Lu needed comfort, most of the time, for people with strong self-esteem, comfort would only make them feel more embarrassed. So he patted Xu Haoyang on the shoulder instead, and then, the three of them got up together and left the waiting area and returned to the position of the preparation area.

On the way back, Xu Haoyang glanced at the location of the stands, where in addition to the audience, there were also his parents.

He saw them, because his father was holding a banner with white letters on a red background in his hand. The banner was originally held, but after their performance, it was put down and held in their hands.

Because he was not sure whether the name on the television screen at this time would bring glory or sarcasm to his son.

Xu Haoyang is a native of Harbin, his parents are both high school teachers, his father teaches physical education, and his mother teaches chemistry. The high school where they work is a school of low local standards, and the students don't have much of a desire to learn, and the teachers can basically be said to be here to mess around, and at the same time pay attention to the kind of students who don't fight, don't fall in love, don't take drugs, and as for the admission rate, there is one, and if there is not, there is no more force.

In this kind of environment, they naturally don't have too high requirements for Xu Haoyang. I thought that this child could graduate from high school like everyone else, preferably go to college, and then find a job, get married, and have a child, which is already a very successful life path. So what figure skating, national teams, world champions...... For them, it all seemed like something too far away.

However, they just watched their son move forward step by step, according to the path he had planned.

When they saw Xu Haoyang's live broadcast, interviews, and various reports, they occasionally felt unreal. By this time, they no longer knew how to communicate with their son. They did not know whether he had gone well on this path, what difficulties and setbacks he encountered, and what he would feel joy from the bottom of his heart.

This is a rare domestic competition, which was originally designed to select talents for the Winter Olympics at home, and has been going on year after the Winter Olympics since the end of the year.

It is not only a domestic competition, but also held at the door of their own home, and the two of them directly asked the school for leave to watch the scene, and at the same time, they also came with a bunch of past and present students and colleagues to cheer Xu Haoyang together.

In fact, it stands to reason that as the family members of the athletes, there is nothing wrong with them coming directly to the preparation area after the competition, but considering that they don't know anything about figure skating, they also feel that it is a bit embarrassing for such an old son to be surrounded by his parents and ask for warmth, so they basically did not show up when his coach and teammates were there.

Xu Haoyang looked at his father across the ice rink. He said that he was looking at each other, but in fact, he was not sure if his father saw him, and he didn't know what the position he passed looked like above the stands, maybe his father kept looking, but he couldn't see him clearly.

When the plane landed on the land of his hometown, he didn't have any real feelings at first, after all, they stayed in a hotel, ate special food, and were picked up by bus every day, which did not give him extra time to remember and miss the feeling of being in his hometown.

The city is developing rapidly, and every time I go back, the surrounding environment always changes more or less, and after stacking it up like this, the real hometown and the hometown in my childhood memories seem to have become two different places.

I am also far away from the self who grew up on this land.

He didn't know how to talk to these people from the past, and he didn't know how he was going to deal with himself here.

Just now, he was in such an emotion on the ice rink, he forgot who he was for a while, he didn't remember his name, and he didn't remember his heart. He seems to wander outside of the dream, and at the same time is mercilessly swallowed up by the power of the characters in the music.

Don Quixote was out of his control—an overly strong emotion that made his control of power problematic.

This is the root of the problem of their mistakes today.

He was well aware of this.

In such a mood, Xu Haoyang has an inexplicable uncomfortable feeling rising in his heart, not like a loss, nor a sense of apology, a sense of powerlessness floating in mid-air, the powerlessness of being thrown back into the real world after being withdrawn from the role.

There were a lot of people in the preparation area, Jiang Xin and Chen Tingyuan were preparing to play, the staff checked their skates for them, and for a while, everyone was talking, and there was a mess around. He struggled to sit still for a moment, got up and walked out the back door.

Han Lu frowned as he looked at his back as he hurriedly went out.

"Why is he going?" she asked Zhao Zhixin next to her.

Zhao Zhixin shook his head.

"Are your feet alright?" he asked, "...... just fell."

"It's fine. ”

“…… I'm going to have another check when I go back. ”

"I see. Han Lu responded casually, and her eyes were still looking towards the back door where Xu Haoyang walked out.

At this time, Jiang Xin and Chen Tingyuan had already played, and Liu Bofei also walked back from them and sat in the position where Xu Haoyang was originally sitting next to Han Lu.

"I'll see the video of your game when I get back. Liu Bofei said simply.

"Hmm. Han Lu nodded.

"Just ......"

"I hesitated at that time. Han Lu said, "When I fell, it seemed to fall out of the music in an instant." I didn't have the strength to eat under my feet, and I collapsed before I could stand firmly. ”

"Do you think there's something wrong with his power?"

Han Lu thought for a moment and shook her head honestly. "I don't know. "I forgot how I felt." I just remember the feeling of myself falling out of the music. ”

"Hmm. Liu Bofei said, "It was good at the beginning, but almost halfway through, the movements of the two of you separated." Emotions are not together. ”

"I know. Han Luying. She was calmer than she had imagined.

"As much as possible," Liu Bofei hesitated, but still repeated what he had said before. "Communicate with him as much as you can. The more you understand each other, the more you will have control over your emotions and synchronicity. ”

"He ran away, am I to blame?"

“…… This kid really is. Uncle Liu flew to the back door to take a look, and shook his head helplessly. "I'll talk to him later. ”

"Was he like this before?" Han Lu asked, "Someone needs to chase after him and ask him what this competition is all about, what are the problems, and what do you want to do after that...... If others don't ask, he won't be aware of it, and then he will run away if something happens, and he will get angry when he gets angry.

“……”

"Yes or no?"

"I'll be honest. Liu Bofei said, "In the past, I really didn't care enough about him. ”

He had been with Han Lu for too long, which made him unconsciously think that everyone should be like Han Lu, who would try their best on their own, know how to learn from their failures, and understand their strengths and weaknesses......

However, he should be more aware that each player has their own way of growing. Some people can grow on their own, while others need appropriate reminders, tips and encouragement.

"I'm sorry," he apologized to Han Lu, "I'm to blame for this." ”

Zhao Zhixin listened to it and felt that this dialogue was weird. He felt that their Coach Liu was like Han Lu's father-in-law at this time, apologizing for not fulfilling his responsibility to teach.

Anyway...... Zhao Zhizhi thought about it, since he joined the figure skating team, Liu Bofei has mostly looked like an old father and nanny.

An old father who is single, a hard-working nanny with a basic salary......

At this time, Xu Haoyang walked outside the venue, but he didn't go too far, just next to a place where he couldn't hear the music in the venue clearly, standing against the wall.

The air outside was much better than inside, and he blew the wind for a while, feeling that he had finally regained some sense of reality.

This is the first time he has decided the repertoire in an official competition, in the past, the repertoire was provided by Amy, and then Jiang Xin made the decision, he is actually a little used to listening to other people's opinions.

This loss of control in the music really caused him to doubt himself again.

Maybe I'm not fit to do that, I'm not fit to be a decision-maker.

……

He took another deep breath, grabbed his hair hard, and pulled the bangs back of his forehead. At this moment, he heard the sound of an iron door not far behind him, and someone came out of it. He was startled and involuntarily straightened up, and then he saw who was coming out of it.

Han Shuhua.
