Chapter 13: I've Been Replaced?!
"Bang Bang Bang-"
β¦β¦
Oops, the continuous sound of falling, Zhang Tanbo couldn't help but reach out to cover his eyes, turned his head, and his heart trembled.
After a long time, listening to the ice rink and no more movement, Zhang Tanbo stretched out the gap between his five fingers, and quietly probed through the gap between his fingers with one eye, but he couldn't see it clearly, and leaned out to lean on the baffle, but half of his body hung on the baffle, and he almost leaned forward to let the fat face kiss the ice intimately.
I don't know how many times the short lift has failed, Shi Yu fell on the ice and was almost numb, she leaned on the baffle, looking at the hot water that Yu Xin handed her, the white vapor was thick.
Immediately, Shi Yu's eyes came to the hazy water vapor, feeling the moist heat, and couldn't help but close her eyes. Around the eye circles, hot, wet, Shi Yu took another sip of the hot air in the cup, listening to her pounding heart, slowly, she felt that she was alive.
She and Yu Xin have been practicing in-situ short lifts for more than half a month, and they have been practicing every day. It's not a spin, an arc or something, it's just a short lift on the spot and she keeps falling, and the two of them have never succeeded.
Not even once!
Two days ago, Zhang Tanbo told them that there is a club league in the western district of Yushi, which is a selection competition for the city competition, and there is only one ice dance quota, and the club attaches great importance to it, so they must work hard.
Falling again and again, day by day the date of the competition approached, Shi Yu's head seemed to be about to explode, and her heart became more and more anxious and irritable, and she couldn't help but squeeze the cup in her hand hard, so that a few drops of hot water in the paper cup overflowed into the cup, dripping and falling into the ice, and also hitting the tip of Shi Yu's heart.
On the side, Yu Xin and Zhang Tanbo looked at Shi Yu's appearance, and couldn't help frowning and glancing at each other worriedly.
Zhang Tan was about to say something, but he only sighed silently in his heart, and after tilting his head and giving Yu Xin a look, he turned around and walked away silently.
The little girl has strong self-esteem, and she is quite lost and anxious when she keeps falling, and if he gets to the side again, maybe it will backfire, so let her partner come.
"Ayu, orβ" Yu Xin tried to relax his tone as much as possible, and said in a gentle and tentative voice: "Let's practice footwork below, shall we?"
Yu Xin originally just thought that the footwork of the two of them was practicing well, and it was better to practice footwork to enhance the little girl's confidence and relax than the unsuccessful lifting.
However, he didn't expect to do bad things with good intentions, and accidentally touched Shi Yu's tense string again.
Of course, Shi Yu knew that their footwork was very good, but the short lift was indeed their weakness, or it could be said that she kept falling to make the short lift their hind legs.
In this case, they can only do footwork, not lifting, and they can't even complete a basic set of ice dance moves, so how can they participate in the competition?
"Brother Yu Xin, let's continue to practice, practice short lifts!"
Without waiting for Yu Xin to react, Shi Yu took him and slid towards the middle of the ice rink, Yu Xin stared at the bruise on Shi Yu's arm, sighed quietly, didn't say anything in the end, only took away his tired worries, raised his eyes, and put on a gentle smile again, and continued to accompany the practice.
β¦β¦
On the other side, the Fog Ice Club office.
"No, I don't agree! What is this? I don't agree anyway! Zhang Tanbo looked at the club owner in front of him, slapped the table again and again and shouted refusal, his brows were full of loose on weekdays, and his face was angry at the moment.
"You don't agree? Zhang Tanbo, don't forget, you are just a coach and an employee of the club, is it your turn to speak here? β
Hearing this, Zhang Tanbo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, softened his tone, and wanted to fight again: "She's just not in a good state recently, wait a minute, it will definitely be fine later."
"I'm a club, not a charity!"
"After that? Oh, Zhang Tanbo, who will wait for her? Sports competition itself is cruel, the winner is king, the loser is the villain! If you are not good enough, there will naturally be someone to replace you, no one will always be 18 years old, but someone will always be 18 years old! β
Speaking of this, Li Yongbing leaned back on the swivel chair, holding a cigar lightly in his hand, looking at Zhang Tanbo's slightly distracted appearance, he shook his head, and then turned around again, reminding meaningfully:
"You should know this better than I do, don't you?"
Li Yongbing leaned forward slightly, lightly pointed his fingers, and a little spark fell into the ashtray, but it seemed to burn Zhang Tanbo's heart, word by word, like a sharp arrow, piercing the stomach and hitting the vital point.
Zhang Tanbo was silent for an instant, his face was pale, he walked out of the office with heavy steps, leaned on the back of the door, closed his eyes, his forehead was locked, as if he thought of something, and squatted down and curled up together in pain.
The scenes in my mind are mixed and intertwined, and I suddenly freeze on the two children holding hands, smiling and shouting about her coach's appearance, and my heart is mixed.
In the end, Zhang Tanbo couldn't help but look up to the sky and smile bitterly, and said silently: Teacher, so, were you like me back then?
β¦β¦
After a whole day of inhumane falls and failures, Shi Yu was tired, and her eyes were full of tiredness Yu Xin, who was very guilty.
Noticing Shi Yu's gaze, the frowning eyebrows suddenly bloomed, and he returned to his fine state, squeezed out a relaxed smile, and said in a soft voice: "It's okay, just practice again tomorrow, go back and rest first."
After Shi Yu responded obediently, she took Yu Xin's hand and was about to leave, but she didn't expect to bump into Zhang Tanbo head-on.
Shi Yu thought that Zhang Tanbo hadn't been there just now, and he didn't know where he had gone, and now that they had come back after their training was over, he might not know where he was lazy again, so he quipped: "Yo, Coach Zhang, are you willing to come back?" Where are you going to paddle again, shouldn't you go to the toilet again to steal spicy noodles? β
Shi Yu thought of the last time Zhang Tanbo secretly ate her spicy strips, afraid that she would find out, and finally hid in the toilet to eat secretly, but was caught by her and Yu Xin at the door, at that time, his face was like a lump of Xiang stuffed into his mouth, and the spicy strips in his mouth slid from the corners of his mouth uncontrollably.
Shi Yu couldn't help but hide her mouth and laugh in place, but this time, rarely, Zhang Tanbo did not go back and forth with Shi Yu as usual, but was silent, with a serious expression, and his eyes staring at her were complex and serious.
Suddenly, Shi Yu's body shook violently, inexplicably, her heart was beating wildly, she seemed to smell a hint of danger, and this danger seemed to be coming at her.
Suddenly, the scene was embarrassing for a while, Shi Yu silently suppressed her smile, bowed her head and said nothing, her fingers twisted her clothes, and she didn't know what she had done wrong.
Yu Xin stood aside, looked at Zhang Tanbo, and looked at Shi Yu, a little nonsensical, and didn't dare to say anything.
Zhang Tanbo looked at the appearance of the two children, and guessed that his expression frightened them, and he exhaled carefully, and was about to say something gently, but when he saw the skates that the two of them were carrying, he knew that the two of them were about to end their training, and a nameless fire crept up.
In an instant, Zhang Tanbo yelled out of control: "When will the training end, have you finished practicing?"
"But didn't you say you could leave early on Friday afternoon? Wouldn't you still be able to practice more tomorrow? Shi Yu looked at Zhang Tanbo's anger, her face was confused, and she couldn't help but interrupt weakly.
Tonight, Shi's mother is going to take her and Shi Yu to eat Grandpa Ken, and she naturally wants to go back early.
Hearing this, Zhang Tanbo felt that a mouthful of old blood was about to spurt out.
Tomorrow, where is there so much tomorrow? From now on, it may not be too late to break one hour into two hours, and wait for tomorrow?!
Do you know what the hell is going on right now? Zhang Tanbo was so anxious that he wanted to scold.
But when the words came to his mouth, he still stopped abruptly, if he said ......
Alas, forget it, Zhang Tanbo took a few deep breaths, spit out a few mouthfuls of turbidity, patted his face, barely stabilized his mind, bent down, pressed the shoulders of the two, and said with a smile: "Come, turn around, today, no, I will accompany you to practice in the next few days!"
For a moment, the ice surface was intertwined with Shi Yu's continuous falling sounds, as well as Zhang Tanbo's increasingly angry and stern whistles.
"Do it all over again!"
"Come again!"
"Do it all over again!"
β¦β¦
For a long time, when Shi Yu sat on the bench of Grandpa Ken's house, it was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening, Shi Yu hatefully bit the skin of the chicken thigh, tore out the fragrant chicken inside, and complained silently angrily.
Coach Zhang is really inexplicable, he always fishes for three days and dries his nets for two days on weekdays, and he can't wait to get off work early, what's wrong today, not only crazy practice, but also like a belly full of fire.
"Xiaoyu, the midterm exam is coming soon, you have to review hard recently and strive to make progress! Xiao Yu was much better than you last time! Stunned, Shi Mu raised her hand and patted Shi Yu's shoulder to remind her.
Shi Yu responded with a weak heart, hung her head and was lonely and silent, and saw Shi Yu proudly sticking out her tongue to show off, Shi Yu immediately arched her nose and grimaced in response.
Hmph, what's so proud, isn't it just that she is higher in math - 20 points.
Yes, in the last unit test, she was 79 in math and 99 in Shi Yu.
For this reason, Shi Yu laughed at her a lot.
When he boarded, he thought of the midterm exam and the city competition selection competition again, Zhang Tanbo also said that he would continue to practice tomorrow, and Shi Yu felt a little dull when he ate the chicken leg in his hand.
It's been a reversal lately!
β¦β¦
That night, Yu Xin was opening the door, and saw Yu's mother in the living room holding a piece of paper and jumping and jumping, slowly, closing her eyes, tapping her toes, clicking left and right, humming a little song, and dancing.
Suddenly, seeing Yu Xin standing there stunned, he hurriedly paused, and walked to Yu Xin's side and asked how it was today, but before Yu Xin could answer, the corners of Yu's mother couldn't help but laugh on the ground.
Yu Xin swallowed his saliva quietly, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Mom, are you okay?" What's wrong? β
"It's okay, Mom is fine! It is...... Hahaha, that's it, that's it, forget it, you'll know after that! Yu's mother pinched Yu Xin's face, and then happily hummed "Today is a Good Day" and jumped back to the room, kissing and hugging the paper all the way, as if it was a treasure.
Behind him, Yu Xin looked at Yu's mother's back and lowered her eyes to meditate.
It was like a piece of letterhead.
β¦β¦
The next day, without any surprise, Shi Yu and Yu Xin's short lifts still made no progress, and she fell with relish.
Shi Yu leaned on the baffle and sighed in dismay, Yu Xin was about to comfort him, and a few tapping footsteps reached the ears of the two.
When the two heard the reputation, they saw Zhang Tanbo, and what seemed to be the club owner was holding a little girl with a pink carving.
Shi Yu looked at Zhang Tanbo, who looked defeated, and wanted to ask out loud, but was hit by the club's boss's next words.
"Yu Xin, from today on, Yang Ran will be your partner!"
