Chapter 1: Mistakes in the game

Next Chapter

In the empty training hall, a cold spotlight silently hit the ice, and in the center of the ice was a thin but muscular man.

He held the ice with both hands, his arms trembling slightly, and tried to get up with difficulty, but fell to the ice again.

The originally quiet training hall was now bursting with a noisy shout.

"Staff, hurry! Get on it! ”

"Dr. Zhang! Dr. Zhang! ”

Zhou Manman, who was wearing a blue overalls on the sidelines, was already looking stupid, and his legs stood there as if they had been filled with lead.

The picture of fifteen years ago was like yesterday's scene, whizzing in front of Zhou Manman's eyes. She stared straight at the man on the ice, and the figure became in a trance.

"Daddy! Mom! ”

The pain caused by the broken ankle made 5-year-old Zhou Manman's beautiful face full of pain.

In a trance, Zhou Manman wanted to rush up and pick up the petite and helpless little girl. However, the ground seemed to stretch out a clutch and grabbed her ankle, and she seemed to feel the pain in her ankle so real.

After so many years, it doesn't hurt anymore.

"What are you still doing! Come and help! ”

The boiling sound in his ears instantly became clear again, and the little girl who was sitting on the ice and crying and looking around in front of Zhou Manman disappeared vaguely, turning into the man who seemed to have been crushed, and the pain between her ankles just now disappeared.

Just when she didn't know what to do, she was pushed by the crowd and came to the center of the ice. Zhou Man glanced back in a panic, but his eyes caught a glimpse of a figure flashing into the locker room.

"You! Go get your head checked! ”

The big man next to him waved his hand and pushed Zhou Manman to the position of the man's head.

Zhou Man staggered to the front of the man, knelt on his knees, fell to his side, and fell weakly on the ice with a weak muffled sound, his eyes closed, and painful moans flowed from between his lips and teeth.

The man in front of him is Shirakawa Canghe, a rare genius boy in the field of men's figure skating, who has quickly broken the total score record held by the veteran Ivanovi since the competition, and has won major awards in the figure skating field at a young age, and has repeatedly refreshed the record of the highest score in the men's singles figure skating.

Today, it's the Olympic Qualification Trials, which will be held in two years' time. With just this medal away, Shirakawa Canghe can become the first person in the domestic figure skating Grand Slam.

Previously, Shirakawa Canghe had made mistakes in the last points game due to lateral ligament injury and peroneal tendon injury in his right foot, and his teammates bit the points very tightly, and his lead at the top of the standings is gradually shrinking.

This time around, the winner will receive a hefty points hold, which means that if he gives up or makes a mistake, the top spot in the standings will change hands, and the men's singles qualification for his country at the Winter Olympics will also be in the hands of someone else.

This is the medal he has been waiting for for more than ten years, and Shirakawa Canghe has no choice but to endure the pain and impact the final victory and retain the top position in the standings.

The ice landing mistake just now, Shirakawa Canghe's legs were seriously twisted and landed, and his left shoulder fell straight to the ice, and then his body was no longer controlled, and his head fell heavily on the ice. At this moment, the pain in his heart made him sweat like rain, and beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his hair from the corners of his delicate jaw, falling on the ice one by one, and disappeared in an instant. The hair that had been neat and neat had now become disheveled, and sweat and blood were mixed and wrapped around the hair.

Zhou Manman's arm trembled and he went to help him, and a red bead of cold sweat accidentally fell on the back of her hand, and her body shook like an electric shock, as if she felt the pain of Shirakawa Canghe.

"Shirakawa! Shirakawa! ”

Zhou Manman's gentle voice was mixed with a slight tremor, which spread in Bai Chuan Canghe's ears. He opened his eyes slightly, and his clear eyes were shrouded in a layer of mist at the moment, making Zhou Manman unable to see it really.

Shirakawa Canghe finally came back to his senses in the impact, and the scene in front of him gradually changed from blurry to clear.

"Thank you...... Thank you...... can you help me up...... I'm not done yet......"

Shirakawa Canghe's pale lips trembled, and he struggled to squeeze out an intermittent sentence.

Zhou Manman's heart was hit hard, and tears instantly gushed out uncontrollably, "Bai Chuan, don't move first, your head is bleeding......"

Bai Chuan Canghe raised his hand and stroked his forehead with difficulty, and a touch of bright red bloomed on the tips of his fingers in an instant.

The bright red and dazzling color devoured Zhou Manman like a flood beast, and her hand shook it uncontrollably.

It seems that fifteen years ago, my mother held Zhou Manman tightly with her hand, with an inexplicable power in fear.

Bai Chuan Canghe, who had his eyes slightly closed, suddenly widened his eyes, and looked at the tearful girl in front of him with complicated eyes.

"Shirakawa!" Shirakawa Canghe's coach's tone was full of anxiety, "Where do you feel uncomfortable now?" ”

Bai Chuan Canghe's eyes moved away from Zhou Manman, and he looked past her to the coach, "Stop...... Pain ......"

The people around him gasped, and Zhou Manman was surprised that he forgot to pull his hand out.

What does he want to do?! He's going to continue! Is he crazy!

Shirakawa Canghe's coach tightened his eyebrows, angry and distressed, "Doctor Zhang, give him pain relief......"

The coach finally sighed helplessly, with a heavy tone in his tone. This kid always fights like this, and he can't do anything about him.

The fixed crowd around them began to move again, running to get painkillers, and directing Shirakawa Canghe to be helped out of the field.

Zhou Manman took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and quietly removed his hand from Baichuan Canghe's palm, this time he didn't look at her. Zhou Manman helped Baichuan Canghe to the sidelines with the staff around him, and a group of staff in a hurry surrounded Baichuan Canghe again, and Zhou Manman retreated with each other.

"Zhou Manman! Hurry up and check the ice! The ice rink instructor shouted anxiously, and turned his head to say something to the people around him, but Zhou Manman didn't hear it clearly.

She looked at Bai Chuan Canghe, who was wrapped in the crowd not far away, and was sitting on the ground leaning on the coach at the moment, through the gap in the crowd, Zhou Manman only saw half of his side face and slightly undulating chest. The muscles in his face throbbed, as if he was gritting his teeth to endure the pain.

Zhou Manman turned his head, lifted the ice bucket and cautiously came to the ice, bending down to examine it carefully.

Strangely, the ice surface is intact and there is no ice trough that could cause a fall. However, the action of Shirakawa Canghe falling and falling on the ice just now was extremely weird, and it did not look like a mistake that a seasoned athlete could make. If it wasn't for the ice tank stumbling, what could it be?

Before Zhou Manman could sort out any thoughts in his mind, he saw that the crowd wrapped in Baichuan Canghe quickly dispersed again. At this moment, his head was wrapped with a thick bandage, faintly revealing traces of blood, a few strands of messy hair scattered on the sideburns, and the remaining blood at the corners of his mouth had not been erased, but it could not hide his transcendent beauty, but it revealed a broken beauty, and everyone present was secretly amazed.

He swayed and slid toward the center of the ice, a little swaying. That was the reaction of hitting his head, Zhou Manman thought to himself, Shirakawa Canghe may have lost his balance temporarily.

He stopped in the center of the ice, lowered his head and lowered his hands, everyone waited with bated breath, and after a few seconds, Shirakawa Canghe's fingers flicked, and the sound of music immediately resounded in the training hall.

Zhou Manman stared closely at the white-clothed young man on the field, and his fingers unconsciously tensed.

His flawless body was now stained with bright red, and he was like a feather that fell after a swan waved its wings, light and soft, swirling, dancing, and flying on the ice.

As the notes flowed, the light feather spun and fluttered upward, as if trying to chase the swan that was flying high, but was slapped by the bitter wind and fell heavily on the ice.

It rolled and spun gently on the ice, fluttering again against the wind, and this time, it failed to catch up with the distant swans.

At the end of the song, Shirakawa Canghe slowly sat down, unable to get up again.

In more than four minutes of music, he fell countless times, and every time the sound of his body hitting the ice surface hit Zhou Manman's heart, it hit Zhou Manman's heart hard.

He struggled to prop up his body, his fingertips swayed, caressing the ice under him, and then lowered his head and kissed, not knowing what he was muttering, it seemed that there was only Shirakawa Canghe in this world, and he was talking to Bing.

All the people were already stunned in place, so shocked by this beautiful scene that they even forgot to breathe. The coach was the first to react and rushed to the field with Dr. Zhang to check Shirakawa Canghe's injury.

Thunderous applause sounded in the silent training hall, although there were not many people present, but everyone clapped their hands red without hesitation.

Zhou Manman suddenly smiled, her tightly twisted heart was slowly rubbed away with the end of the Baichuan Canghe competition, she raised her hand to wipe her face, and she didn't know when it was already wet.

At this time, Bai Chuan Canghe, the last trace of strength in his body had been drained, and he was no longer able to support it, as if he was boneless, he was supported by the coach and Dr. Zhang back to the lounge.

Zhou Manman's heart that he had just put down was grabbed again, and his heart suddenly jumped wildly.

Don't, don't be like you were back then!

Zhou Manman clenched his hands hard, stirring nervously in front of him, but his eyes were blocked by the closed door of the lounge.

The loud applause in his ears had stopped at this time, and turned into a stumbling discussion, and Zhou Man had no time to care about it, just gasping nervously, waiting for the door of the lounge to open.

"Chairman Zhao, although Shirakawa Canghe Axel's quadruple jump has not been completed for a full number of weeks, it is almost perfect! No athlete in the country can hope to make this move! So the score is not able to think again. ”

Only half a week away, Zhou Manman thought silently in his heart. Just now, when Shirakawa Canghe was injured and took painkiller injections, he actually chose to challenge the most difficult Axel quadruple jump.

Before the trials, Zhou Manman had seen Shirakawa Canghe's free skating repertoire today when she practiced in the training hall publicly, and she clearly remembered that Shirakawa Canghe did not have an Axel quadruple jump in the whole movement.

In his form, it was not easy to complete the triple jump, but he changed his move and added the most difficult quadruple Axel.

He's risking his life for this success!

"President Cheng, what do you think?" Zhao Jingmin, president of the National Figure Skating Association, did not answer, turned his head to look at the person next to him, and asked.

The referees were once again locked in a heated argument.

After a while, the door of the lounge opened, and it was dark inside, and Zhou Man stretched his neck and poked his head to look, but he didn't have time to see the situation of the people inside.

I saw the coach of Shirakawa Canghe walking out of the lounge alone, and hurriedly came to the referee and whispered something. Zhou Manman tried to hear clearly, but the discussion was deliberately suppressed. Then the coach returned to the lounge with a solemn face, and the door was closed again.

As if a century had passed, the frail Shirakawa Canghe walked out of the lounge with the support of the coach, and walked to the other teammates with hidden steps, quietly waiting for the results.

Zhao Jingmin walked in front of the contestants, and her eyes stayed on Bai Chuan Canghe's body for a long time before she took her eyes away.

"Boys, you did a great day." Her tone paused, and Bai Chuan Canghe's eyes were dark, staring at President Zhao Jingmin's lips.

"Today's free skating result is ......," Zhao Jingmin said slowly, reading out the results of the team members one by one.

Shirakawa Canghe was stunned for a moment, turned his head and whispered to the coach, and then he suddenly raised his head, nodded excitedly, tears in his eyes rushed to drip, and kissed his cheek wantonly.

Finally!

Finally!

He retained the top spot in the standings by a narrow margin of 0.1 points.
