Chapter 1: Idols

Next Chapter

Yan Ze hesitated and slowly came to the ice rink to prepare for training, he hadn't been here for several days, his coach Pruko was simply disappointed in his apprentice, feeling that he lacked skills and strength, but he didn't work hard, and recently he disappeared at every turn.

In fact, Yan Ze is running away from Pruko, he is more and more afraid of hearing Pruko's voice, although Pruko has not completely given up on his intentions, and still believes that he is definitely a good material that is rare in a century, but Yan Ze's pressure is getting bigger and bigger, and now even hearing his voice feels as if it reminds him how incompetent he is all the time.

In fact, he questioned himself a long time ago, maybe learning figure skating was a wrong choice at all, he was not the good material that Pruko expected, otherwise why would he not be able to stand on a high place no matter how hard he tried.

He stood in front of the training ground and looked at the familiar ice rink in a daze, his brothers and sisters were sweating passionately on the ice rink, fighting for the next Olympic champion, while he was on the verge of giving up or continuing.

At the age of seventeen, he has been learning figure skating for eight years, and his results in the national team from the youth group to the senior group have been at the bottom.

But the seed of longing in his heart did not die, but shouted more and more, he was unwilling to give up like this, and after a few days of adjustment at home, he came back again!

As soon as he sat down and was about to change his shoes, he looked up and saw the highlights of the World Championships a few years ago being replayed on the big screen opposite, Yan Ze's dark and bright pupils trembled suddenly, staring at the handsome Japanese man on the screen, which was his most admired idol and the motivation that inspired him to work hard all the way.

"The men's free skate is the biggest spectacle of the year in figure skating, and we'll see the world Olympic champions below.... Keiyuki Sato, who has set a new record in his history, expects him to perform well in the free skate this time. ”

After the introduction of the cordial and solemn female host in the video, in the cheers of the audience one after another, a man in a white and blue gradient dance dress slid into the ice rink, he first skated a few arcs in the wide ice rink to warm up, and then slowly skated to the center of the ice rink to stop, he seemed to be breathing his breath, bowing his head and quietly waiting for the arrival of music.

As the music sounded, the piano sound of the Polish composer Chopin seemed to tell a story in the melody, and he stretched out his arms to slide his skates and danced and whirled gracefully with the melody of the music..... The smooth and graceful dancing seems to tell the story in the music vividly and dreamily.

Then a spin that jumped in the air and completed the 'Axel 3 and a half weeks' beautifully!

The applause of the audience rang out excitedly and excitedly.....

The graceful dance of the man who was as light as an elf was still going on like a flowing stream, followed by a jumping movement, 'Quadruple Jump on the Ice Outside the Back' and 'Quadruple Jump on the Ice Outside the Rear Outside', the beautiful and neat spinning action in the air pushed the enthusiasm of the audience to the highest peak, the applause rang out and sounded, and after a while it ended quietly, the audience seemed to be holding their breath involuntarily, as if they were afraid of disturbing the elves in the forest.

Gradually, the rhythm of the music began to change gracefully, he used his left foot as a pillar, raised his right foot back above his head, lifted the ice blade on the back heel of his head with both hands over his head, and bent his body back into a graceful amplitude, the rapid rotation of 'Bell Slow' made the man as beautiful as a blue enchantress, breathtaking and mesmerizing.

A wonderful free skating came to an abrupt end at the end of the music, and everyone was still silent in the wonderful dance for a while, silent, and after a while, the hostess's excited voice rang out, "Wow, his performance is wonderful, he has both male strength and female flexibility, and he is also the genius who has ever pioneered a quadruple jump......"

For a moment, the loud applause and screams from all sides overshadowed the hostess's voice, and all kinds of plush toys and packaged flowers were thrown off the arena, and Sato Keiyuki smiled and bowed, and quickly exited the ice rink.

Yan Ze retracted his gaze and continued to change his shoes, quietly exhaling a breath of hot air, the hot blood seemed to hit his chest, the dream was boiling and burning in his heart, and he suddenly felt that his whole body was full of strength.

Taking off the knife cover and sliding into the ice rink, the boy's eyes jumped with a glint of hope, and his slender figure began to practice the movements that were easy to miss over and over again. Jumping three and a half spins is always difficult to control, especially easy to fall, and from time to time there is the sound of him falling to the ground and muffling in the silence of the training ground......

"Oh my God, why are you here today, I thought you wanted to retire....."

Following the prestige, he saw Pruko walking towards the training ground, his blue eyes were a little happy mixed with a hint of anger, obviously although his tone was disdainful, it still revealed a deep worry.

He was followed by an eighteen or nineteen-year-old blonde boy - Mo Luo, who was an extremely dazzling guy who often competed all over the world, and even won the silver medal in the last World Championships, standing on the podium with his idol, which made Yan Ze envious. I heard that I came here only to treat my back injury, but I was forcibly pulled by Pruko to be his temporary assistant.

Pruko frowned and asked with concern, ".... What's wrong with you these days? Is there something going on? … Why can't you tell me? ”

His concern made Yan Ze a little ashamed, Yan Ze looked up at the tall and burly Pruko, and said with a flickering eye: "I'm sorry, I caught a cold, I went home to rest for a few days, and I forgot to tell you....."

Pruko raised an eyebrow, "Oh,... Are you feeling better now? ”

Yan Ze lowered his head with a red face and a weak heart, he was a little unable to face his coach.

Pruko felt his predicament, and after half a ring, he frowned in understanding, put his hands to his chest, and reprimanded, "...... Ze, you can't slack off, Su Xiao has made a lot of progress in the past few days since you were away, you have to remember that when you are stagnant, everyone else is moving forward......"

Yan Ze glanced up at the dazzling Mo Luo beside him, the familiar and enthusiastic young man was squeezing his eyebrows with him, Mo Luo was even more embarrassed, lowered his head and whispered, ".... Got it, I'll try. ”

After a while, Mo Luo also slid down the ice rink, and his elegant skating action made Yan Ze's eyes a little hot, and he sighed without sighing: Tsk, the movements of handsome people skating on the ice are so cool!

But somehow, Yan Ze's training movements became more and more stiff, and he even began to be unable to keep up with Pruko's training rhythm!

"Seriously, Ze, do you know what your problem is? Your biggest problem is that you are not confident enough, and your movements are very graceful, so give yourself confidence. ”

Pruko's brows were locked into a line, shaking his head to cheer up Yan Ze, he understood that Yan Ze had some inferiority complex, great emotional fluctuations, and was always prone to make mistakes at critical times.

"Change feet, turn around, your mohawk steps are not smooth enough, forward, back, turn forward, right, come, well done....."

Yan Ze became more and more nervous for some reason, and from time to time peeked at Mo Luo who was smiling brightly in the distance, he began to feel sweaty, raised his right foot, which was already a little trembling, and jumped again, and fell to the ground with a 'bang'....

Pruko hurriedly helped him up, and said helplessly: "... Oh...... Adjust your state first, and then practice for a while. After saying that, he patted him on the back and walked to the bathroom.

Yan Ze didn't have the courage to look up at Pruko's face, he clearly knew how disappointed his coach was at this time, Yan Ze blamed himself, but he was annoyed by his incompetence, and his mood became more and more anxious and depressed.
