Chapter 2: The Rising Sun

"Brother Yu Xin, are we going wrong? Why is it just the two of us? ”

Due to the official partner training on the first day, Yu Xin took Shi Yu to the ice rink on the second floor that the coach pointed out to them yesterday early this morning.

However, the huge ice rink, apart from the two of them, is still the two of them.

"Maybe we're here too early. It's okay, Sister Ayu, let's put on our skates first. ”

Yu Xin touched Shi Yu's puzzled little head melon, and led her to the seat next to her.

"You go in first and change into your training clothes and protective gear, and I'll help you put on your skates when you come out."

"Okay." Shi Yu nodded obediently, took her clothes from Yu Xin's hand and ran in.

After a while, after Yu Xin squatted on the ground and put on Shi Yu's skates, he began to take out his skates from his backpack and put them on.

Shi Yu held her cheeks with her hands, staring intently at Yu Xin's action of changing into skates, her little head tilted up, her big eyes turned thoughtfully, and then her little face looked at Yu Xin seriously and said, "Brother Yu Xin, I can wear it myself tomorrow!"

"It's okay, you're still young, if you're not careful, the skate blade may scratch you, I'll help you put it on first."

"Hmph, I'm not small! When the summer vacation is over, I will be in the first grade, and my mother said that the children who enter elementary school are the big friends! ”

Xiaoyu patted her chest, looking serious.

"Huh? Brother Yu Xin, are we in the same class? ”

Yu Xin and Shi Yu are only half a month apart, and they are both 6 years old this year and will start elementary school. As soon as the two mothers combined, they simply let the two go to the same elementary school and take care of each other, but not in the same class......

Yu Xin looked at Shi Yu and asked herself expectantly, and shook her head a little embarrassed, which she would not know until the report on the start of school.

However, he also wants to be in the same class as Sister Ayu.

"Brother Yu Xin, let's go to the ice together to make a wish. I've heard that standing in the middle of the rink makes a wish, and it will soon come true. ”

"Who said that?"

"That's what I said."

When Yu Xin was stunned, Shi Yu's fleshy little hand clasped Yu Xin's hand, and then led him, leaning on the baffle, snail-like and clumsy gliding.

One-two-one, one-two-one, Shiyu you can do it!

just ignored her little hand that was gripping Yu Xin more and more tightly, and her little face that was getting tighter and tighter because she was afraid of falling.

With a snort, Shi Yu found that she was suddenly gliding very smoothly, and when she turned her head, Yu Xin didn't know when she held her hand with her backhand, and led her to carefully slide towards the middle of the ice rink.

Looking at Yu Xin's soft and focused side face, Shi Yu felt that her little heart seemed to chuckle, was she sick?

As soon as Yu Xin stopped, he saw Shi Yu blinking her star eyes, looking at herself with a look of adoration, a little embarrassed.

"Come on, come on, close your eyes, Brother Yu Xin make a wish, don't say your wish!"

"Good!"

"Brother Yu Xin, you have to allow the two of us to be in the same class as I am!"

“…… Good. ”

The two small figures stood in the middle of the ice rink, facing each other, clasping their hands together, quietly and seriously making a wish.

"Power on—"

An abrupt boot prompt broke the silence.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I forgot to turn the volume down."

"Shut down—"

Zhang Tanbo looked at the two pairs of small eyes staring at him, and touched the back of his head with some embarrassment, looking a little naïve.

"Hello coach."

Both children bowed and said in unison.

Before going out in the morning, the two mothers told them to say hello when they saw the coach, and the coach was also their teacher and should respect the teacher.

"Huh? Ok, good, good! ”

Zhang Tanbo was even more embarrassed by the formality of the two children, and hurriedly leaned over to greet each other.

Zhang Tanbo originally thought that these two children were the same as the other children in the club, just to skate and play during the holidays, but he didn't expect it to be quite formal and serious.

Zhang Tanbo couldn't help but get rid of his laziness, straightened up a little, blew the whistle hanging around his neck, and beckoned the two to stand upright in front of him.

Shi Yu just stood there alone with her back hands for less than two seconds, and she began to stagger, Yu Xin hurriedly put her hand on the inside of her arm and held it with two small hands.

"Coach, why are there only three of us? What about the other children, are they asleep and have forgotten the time? Shi Yu was a little milky and innocent.

Hearing Shi Yu's children's words, Zhang Tanbo was a little embarrassed for a while.

Figure skating was not popular in China in 2005, and it can even be said that very few people have heard of it, and it is still okay in the north, but it is not easy to find such a large ice club in the south.

The owner of the club was a Russian foreigner, and because there were so few people who came to skate, the club lost a lot of money. Therefore, during the holidays, some children are recruited to learn figure skating.

However, the cost is higher, and the number of students is smaller. And even if someone learns, children are more willing to learn the more well-known single skating and pair skating.

Ice dancing can be said to be a withering court. In the entire club, there are only two lone seedlings who learn ice dance, Shi Yu and Yu Xin, plus him as the coach, a total of three people.

"Ahem, ahem—"

"That's because our club implements one-on-one professional coaching, and I am your exclusive coach."

Zhang Tanbo explained nonsense with a clear eye.

"Well, that's good. Since you are still young, and it is the first day of official ice dancing, in case you will faint later, you will hold the ...... first."

Hand.

Seeing that the two children were already holding the hand, oh no, holding hands, Zhang Tanbo swallowed his hand back.

Wow, these two kids are very good, not bad.

"Okay, that's how you hold your hands. As partners, you are one on the ice rink, sharing blessings and difficulties. You have to fall together, you have to slide together! ”

"Ice dancing is a performance in which men and women team up to the rhythm of music to perform dance footwork and dance gliding on the ice. Therefore, the coordination of music and dance is very important, and you must master the rhythm and beat! ”

As soon as he talked about the knowledge of ice dance, Coach Zhang faded away from his original hanging, and the whole person was full of energy.

"So, let's warm up with the music and find out how we feel! Pay attention to the beat and master the rhythm! ”

As he spoke, Zhang Tanbo turned sideways and turned on the horn.

"Power on—"

"The second set of national elementary school students broadcast gymnastics, the rising sun. Uh-huh-"

A mellow male voice came out of the speaker, making the two of them look at Zhang Tanbo in disbelief.

Zhang Tanbo opened the thermos cup, and through the hazy water vapor, he smiled and gave the two of them such a look.

Then he slowly walked in front of the two to prepare for the demonstration, and before the two could say anything, they were caught off guard by the next voice in the loudspeaker, and hurriedly followed the coach to start moving.

"Get ready. One-two-three-four-five-six-seven-eight, two-two-three-four-five—"

"Come on, come on, don't let go, you have to fall together! Don't let go! ”

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight—"

"Plop plop—"

……

In just a few minutes, the entire rink was filled with the sound of radio gymnastics music and the sound of the two falling one after another.

For a while, I don't know if the music is louder, or the sound of the two of them falling down is better.

“…… One-two, stop! ”

It's finally over.

As if they had heard some angelic voice, the two of them slammed the ground and collapsed to the ground.

The palms of the two children holding each other were covered with sweat, and the whole person was also sweating profusely, sweat from the ends of the hair to the face, clinging to the broken hair of the two, and finally dripping on the cold ice.

One cold and one hot, two heavens of ice and fire, and a butt that seemed to be blooming, the two children glanced at each other, and they both saw in each other's eyes that there was no love.

Is it too late to quit?

"What, want to quit? Don't want to learn anymore?"

As if hearing the hearts of the two, Zhang Tanbo's voice reached the ears of the two.

"What, I said yes?"

Hearing this, Shi Yu pursed her lips vigorously and bowed her head silently.

"Children, most of them learn this to be fresh, and few people can stick to it, I know and understand, it's just ......"

Somehow, when she said these words, Shi Yu felt a trace of regret and loss from the coach's smile, and seemed to have some remorse of memories, looking a little like a poor big dog.

"Okay, don't be lazy. Go ahead and follow the music and my movements! Note! ”

Perhaps sensing that the atmosphere was a little serious, Zhang Tanbo continued to give training instructions, and Shi Yu immediately began to prepare for training with a sad face.

Suddenly, feeling that the hand she was holding was being shaken, Shi Yu turned her head sideways to look at Yu Xin, only to see that the boy's eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness, and he whispered "Come on".

Shi Yu instantly felt like she had been beaten with chicken blood, and the whole person immediately became energetic.

"Okay, let's go. The second set of national ......"

A few hours later, after suffering from the "rising sun" many times, when the two felt that the sun was about to break with them, Zhang Tanbo finally kindly let the two go to the coach's lounge to sit down and rest.

Obviously, it is a hot August, but the two of them are shivering from the cold, and Shi Yu's lips are a little pale.

Yu Xin hurriedly put his coat on Shi Yu's back, wrapped Shi Yu's cold little hand with his hand, and kept rubbing it hot.

Seeing the two children like this, Zhang Tanbo silently walked to the side and replaced the refrigerated air conditioner with heating, and poured two cups of hot water from the thermos cup to warm up the two.

"Okay, on the first day today, it's very good that you have practiced like this."

It's really good, many children don't finish practicing for the first time, and they start crying and shouting after they keep falling and calling their mothers that they don't practice. These two children, although they will have a sad face, they will not make trouble, cry or cry out in pain.

Yu Xin's kid is really powerful and talented. If it weren't for holding the little girl's hand and falling, it is estimated that he would not have fallen a few times.

Even he thought that the little girl might be a little squeamish, but although Shi Yu's talent was a little worse than that child, she was a resilient one, and she got up on her own when she fell, and then continued to practice harder, and she made rapid progress.

In the back, this girl didn't fall many times, and on two occasions even Yu Xin almost leaned back, but Shi Yu pulled it back and stabilized it.

Talent + hard work, 1 + 1>2, if these two children can persevere, maybe......

"Coach, can we practice for a while when the meeting is over?"

This is the result of Shi Yu's discussion with Yu Xin just now, the two of them always fall, although most of the time she is the one who affects Yu Xin's brother. But both of them want to study hard, and Shi Yu doesn't want to drag Yu Xin down, so she wants to practice for a while.

When Zhang Tanbo heard this, he almost didn't cry, look at these two children, why are they so cute!

So he hurriedly picked up the coach's card he had just put down from the table, and returned to the ice rink with the two children.

Practice, continue to practice, as long as you want, the coach will always accompany you to practice!

Outside the ice rink, watching two small figures stumbling around the ice in circles, very clumsy and a little funny, from time to time they fell on all fours.

But Zhang Tanbo felt as if he had seen two small suns break through the ice and rise, shining on the ice.

……

On the other side, a curse rang out in the coach's lounge.

"Who is this, sick? What kind of heating is the air conditioner in the summer! ”
