Chapter 2: Two Eyesore Teenagers
Su Xiao walked backwards beside him, undisguised with disdain and contempt on his face, "Tsk, your level is really getting worse and worse, you have been jumping like this for three weeks, your steps are unsteady, your body is stiff, how did you get mixed up in the team at this time?" If it were me, I would have retired a long time ago....."
Yan Ze didn't like this arrogant junior brother very much, so he was even more reluctant to deal with him at this time, and continued his training without looking back.
Su Xiao came in a year later than him, but he is extremely talented, having missed out on the silver medal by two points at the Four Continents Skating Championships, and is currently the focus of the team's training, and is widely regarded as the most promising men's free skater.
The invisible pressure is quite great, and the uncontrollable jealousy is also with him, but Su Xiao is still proud, and he stimulates Yan Ze at every turn, making him often angry and emotionally unstable.
Yan Ze ignored him, he had heard too many such mocking words, and he must have been used to swallowing his anger as a person who had always been at the bottom, because retorting would only attract more contempt and embarrassment.
But although he was somewhat immune in his heart, he still couldn't control his emotions.
He lowered his long eyelashes, hiding the unwilling flame in his eyes, raised his hind foot to point the ice, held his breath, and jumped up with all his might! Spin and jump around in the air! Falling ice and sliding out....
After Yan Ze landed and slid out, he was instantly stunned, his heart was pounding, did he just complete a quadruple jump? The uncontrollable joy and excitement in his eyes, and then taking advantage of his good condition, he slid out of his right foot, lit the ice, and jumped..... I tried to jump two more rounds in a row, and there was no mistake! Quadruple jumps and lands beautifully!
The excitement instantly overwhelmed him, and he was immediately ecstatic, looked at his teammates who were training in the distance and the stunned Su Xiao, raised his fist to cheer himself up quietly, "... yes, hey, hey, hey.... I finally succeeded....."
And Su Xiao, who was watching from the side, slowly turned from shock to annoyance on his white face at this time, and even had a taste of annoyance....
Obviously, this result is a great threat to him, the quadruple jump is the highest record in figure skating at present, even he is not very familiar with it, although he has been holding down Yan Ze before, but Yan Ze's current training progress makes him have a strong sense of crisis.
"Hmph, I'm glad to have a fart now, can you keep it at this level all the time?" I don't know who the title of 'self-wrestling expert' is talking about, ha, maybe it will become a "self-wrestling champion" in the future.... Su Xiao sneered and sneered, then slid far away to the other end and began to strengthen his training.
Yan Ze did not affect his mood because of his blow, this time he actually stimulated his fighting spirit because of Su Xiao's sarcasm, and unexpectedly refreshed his historical achievements, he was so excited that he couldn't calm down for a long time, and he planned to practice it hundreds of times, trying to practice this action to be familiar and rotate freely.
When the fifth one landed beautifully, a surprise and excitement but inaccurate pronunciation chant suddenly sounded in his ears, "..... Oh my gosh, you've really surprised me, how did you do that,.... I told you that you are a good piece of material, and you will succeed..."
Pruko, who came back from the bathroom, happened to see him jumping high and landing beautifully, and his face was flushed with excitement for a while, as if money had fallen from the sky.
Yan Ze touched the back of his head a little shyly, and said with a smile, "I just learned it, and I don't know if I can keep it..."
"It's okay, it's good to have a breakthrough, as long as you train diligently, you will definitely succeed....." Pruko shook the thin Yan Ze excitedly, making Yan Ze feel a kind of dizzy happiness, feeling that he was actually as important as Su Xiao in the eyes of his beloved coach.
Such a lively atmosphere caused Mo Luo to wait and see, he was not very good at Chinese, but probably guessed the meaning, smiled at him from a distance and gave him a thumbs up, congratulations.
Su Xiao sneered and hugged his arms to block Mo Luo's sight, and the two lowered their heads to talk from afar, not knowing what they were talking about....
Pruko began to ask Yan Ze to continue to practice the movements just now, and he must be proficient.
Yan Ze jumped more than fifty times in a row in this four-round rotation action, but since Pruko came over, he began to make mistakes from time to time, like opening Pandora's box, as if an evil force imprisoned his body.
The mood also changed from joy at the beginning to heaviness, and he was never able to play freely anymore, and even in the end, his movements were stiff, his posture was awkward, and he had no sense of beauty.
“.... Hey, hey, your left foot is a little forward, your waist is extended back, and your neck, pay attention to the angle of your neck...."
"Now turn around, change your right foot, forward, jump...... Ah! …… Again! ”
Pruko found the problem early, he forced himself to soothe his brows, so he smiled and patted Yan Ze's shoulder, "Don't worry, take your time.... You have to keep the axis of your body after the jump, you can't shift your angle, you have to have perfect control, your posture is really, oh, it's too stiff...."
When the last jump failed, Yan Ze gasped and fell on the ice exhausted, beads of sweat dripped from the ends of his dark hair to the deep neck socket, he lowered his eyelashes in disappointment, "I can't do it, let me rest for a while......"
“…… You've degraded a lot of your physical fitness in the past few days, so you have to train quickly, otherwise how can you participate in the Grand Prix in the way you are now! ”
Yan Ze's heart was shocked, and he immediately sat up, pointing at himself in disbelief, ".... Grand Prix? … I? ”
He couldn't help but look sideways at Su Xiao, Su Xiao in the distance was pulling Mo Luo to train, both of them were eye-catching teenagers, and they were now pulling and pulling to perform pair skating. Yan Ze felt a little annoyed when he saw them making a mess, that Su Xiao seemed to be very enthusiastic about everyone, even to himself, always looking high.
Yan Ze frowned and retracted his gaze, looking at his coach in confusion and puzzlement, this kind of competition used to be directly sent to Su Xiao to participate, although he had also participated in this kind of high-level competition, but the results had not been satisfactory, at this moment he was even a little afraid of going on the ice, and even more afraid of what kind of competition he was participating in!
"Yes, the Grand Prix starts in two months, in fact, your skills ....... How to say, sometimes you are more beautiful than Su Xiao in terms of artistic expression, but you are ...... in terms of technique" Pruko was silent for a moment and said cryptically: "You...... You have to overcome your own psychological problems. ”
Yan Ze understands what the coach means, where his problem is, he actually knows better than anyone else, he has an inferiority complex in his heart, he can't get on the stage, and he trains neatly when there is no one in secret, but when he really gets on the ice, he can't control his panic, and he is easy to make mistakes in a hurry. And in this ice sport of theirs, a mistake means failure!
And since he had the title of 'self-wrestling expert' before, he was hit hard, making him palpitate when he thought about it, and he couldn't cheer up at all, and for a while he was very depressed, and even felt that he couldn't hold on anymore.......
But after thinking about it for a while, his eyes sparkled, and in fact, he was full of anticipation for every Grand Prix, because if he could participate in the final, he would most likely compete with his idol...... That was his dream, and it was his goal.
Although he has failed too many times, he never wants to give up, he clenches his fists firmly, in order to follow the phantom in his mind, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, he will definitely go all out!
Remember Keiyuki Sato being asked in an interview what figure skating meant to him? At that time, what he said was: I am willing to gamble my life for this, even if it is to look at the scenery with my life!
Yan Ze tilted his head and thought about it, so do I! - For you! ..... He secretly snickered: he was willing to gamble for his idol, and he felt so happy to pay like this!
Not far away, Moro sped like lightning, spinning gracefully and sliding on the ice, his long golden hair carried by the wind, and his handsome features were impeccable. The beautiful young man seemed to have his own light, and the flow of light and shadow was scorching and dazzling, which made Yan Ze's eyes a little unhappy.
"Oh my God! Moro is so good...."
Pruko shook his head and reveled in praise, then stared at the turquoise eyes and said: "While Mo Luo is still here, with Su Xiao, take the initiative to find him to study carefully, don't miss the opportunity, his current coach is very good, maybe you can also comprehend some new knowledge..."
Yan Ze secretly admired that his coach was so big-eyed, and he was so humble to exalt his opponent. However, he glanced at the two obstructive teenagers complainingly, and whispered weakly, "..... Well, got it. ”
In fact, he just casually agreed, he didn't have that social ability, and he always felt uncomfortable staying with people who were much better than him, as if he was stammering others.
In short, he would rather have relationships based on justified money than try to please others.
In the evening, Yan Ze, who had been training for a day, returned to the dormitory exhausted. As soon as he opened the door, Yan Ze was startled by the smoky scene in the bedroom, he thought there was a fire, but when he looked at it, he realized that it was Mo Luo who was sitting cross-legged on the bed opposite him smoking. The appearance of swallowing clouds and spitting fog is very similar to the bad boy with a gun on the street in a certain movie, but the delicate facial features and shining earrings brighten Yan Ze's titanium alloy dog eyes.
He was a little surprised and said, "You, you, why are you here?" ”
After asking this, he regretted it, obviously his bedroom was supposed to be a dormitory for two people, because after one of the previous team members was injured and retired early, the empty bed opposite had long been a public place, anyway, the bed that anyone who had friends or family came to sleep in.
Mo Luo didn't pay attention to him, looked at him and smiled, and continued to wear his exaggerated headphones and shake his head and sing loudly in a completely transcated foreign language, the song was really not flattering, it was simply howling!
