Chapter 24: You Are a Fly, I Am an Egg with Seams (Part I)
Zhan Zhizhan and "White Peony" were curious, and walked over while chattering. squeezed into the crowd, and then I saw that it was none other than Zhan Zhizhan's counselor Liu Ruyan. Ms. Liu seems to be doing a figure skating performance, her movements are coordinated and powerful, she is flying briskly on the ice, triple jumps and consecutive jumps, the pace is exquisite, the rotation is graceful, the artistic expression is outstanding, as if a swallow is flying close to the ice.
"Hi...... Zhan Zhizhan, isn't this the counselor of your class, Teacher Liu, she skates so well, she really looks like a butterfly dancing on the ice. "White Peony" said enviously.
Zhan Zhizhan also saw Mr. Liu skating for the first time, and he skated so well. He nodded, and secretly praised in his heart, "Hmm...... I only knew that Mr. Liu's basketball was a thief, but I didn't expect her to skate at a professional level, not inferior to professional athletes! ”
Figure skating, also known as ice ballet, is the culmination of beauty and a highly spectacle sport that combines graceful dancing and athletic skill. The performers' graceful dancing and awe-inspiring skills are combined with moving music and high-speed gliding, giving the audience a breathtaking beauty. The famous German poet Goethe once described figure skating as follows: "This is a poem of sports, this is a beautiful performance, this is a showdown of ice skills, this is a world of fairy dreams." ”
Zhan Zhizhan has never seen an authentic figure skating competition or performance, so he naturally doesn't know what a vine-like step, a cross step, a mohawk step, etc., but like the "White Peony", he thinks that Mr. Liu's skating is very beautiful. The winter in Butou is vivid because of figure skating, and figure skating is because of the "butterfly on ice" Mr. Liu, which makes Zhan Zhizhan linger. Zhan Zhizhan thought to himself: "If Mr. Liu wears a professional figure skating costume at this time, it will be even more perfect." For a tall girl like Mr. Liu, if there is any more musical accompaniment, there is nothing more appropriate than the music flowing here at this time, and every note will melt into Mr. Liu's blood and turn into happy cells rippling in people's hearts. ”
In a trance, Zhan Zhizhan also changed into skates at some point, and danced crazy ice dances such as waltz, foxtrot, and tango on the ice with Mr. Liu. Gorgeous costumes, light dance steps, skillful coordination and beautiful music, whether elegant or crazy, relaxed or wild ice dance, bring the audience into the dream world on the ice. I don't know when, Mr. Liu has become a graceful "white peony", and Zhan Zhizhan is like a pair of golden boys and girls, masculine and feminine with the abstract and free interpretation of the music melody, and the abstract melody allows Zhan Zhizhan and the "white peony" to dance on the tip of the knife, swaying with thousands of styles, like a dream. When Zhan Zhizhan and "White Peony" slid quickly, people seemed to worry that the sharp tip of the ice blade would accidentally cut through this illusory, heaven-like dream. And the perfect connection between the movements and the movements, each time miraculously returns from the edge of the dream, comforting the people who hold their breath.
Zhan Zhizhan and "White Peony" seem to be working together perfectly, making a lot of beautiful shapes. Like gymnastics, like classical dance; Like modern dance, like ballet. Zhan Zhizhan grabbed the ankle of "White Peony" with one hand, supported her round buttocks with the other, separated his legs, separated his toes outward, and his heels were opposite, relying on the power of inertia to draw one beautiful arc after another on the ice surface, and did a "big word on the outer edge" slide. The radiant "white peony" spreads its arms in the air, intoxicated and poses beautifully, as if it is spreading its wings and flying, just like the flying sky in the Dunhuang murals, and like the heroes and heroines of the Hollywood blockbuster "Titanic" Jack Dawson and Ruth, lingering and compassionate, showing the romance of flying under the sunset on the sea.
"Hi...... Zhan Zhizhan, why don't you applaud? The "White Peony" beside him pushed Zhan Zhizhan and interrupted his fantasy. So that he will never achieve the flight that the "white peony" will never complete in his lifetime.
Zhan Zhizhan was a little embarrassed by the "White Peony", and hurriedly looked at it, only to see that Teacher Liu was gliding at high speed on the crystal clear ice, she was like an angel's waltz, making a series of squatting rotations, bow body rotations, Billie Man rotations, knife anti-swallow rotations, etc., dazzlingly changing dance postures. When Ms. Liu entered the high-speed rotation of the spinning top in another traceless trajectory, she seemed to turn into a spirit dancing on the ice. Mr. Liu's slender waist and slender arms are like flower petals blooming in high-speed rotation, and it seems like a butterfly is about to fly through its cocoon. Ice skating, which is a sport that combines beauty and art. Mr. Liu ended the dizzying continuous jump, slowly slowed down, as if the phantom of the elf gradually appeared from the light mist of the clouds, as if the swan had landed, and the coordination of strength and beauty was so accurate and balanced in the brief moment when the toes touched the ice.
Suddenly, Mr. Liu's body turned 90 degrees to the right, his legs were slightly bent, his body leaned back to the right, and he scraped the ice in the direction of gliding at the same time with the inner edge of the left-footed skate blade and the outer edge of the right-footed skate. The skate blades stopped abruptly, and the onlookers boiled, cheering loudly, and once again responded with bursts of warm applause. Zhan Zhizhan suddenly felt his heart surging, his blood boiling, and all the troubles that had accumulated for many days disappeared in an instant. Zhan Zhizhan was anxious to get rid of the "frustrated yin spirit" and eliminate harm for the people, but the irritability of not being able to do it immediately was gone.
"Wow...... Zhan Zhizhan, your Teacher Liu's skating is simply beautiful, watching Teacher Liu skate is really a pleasure, if I skate as beautiful as her one day, how good it would be. "White Peony" was stunned and couldn't help but admire.
"Huh...... Don't be discouraged, where there's a will, there's a way. As long as you work hard, I believe that you will be able to skate as well as Mr. Liu! Zhan Zhizhan lost no time in constantly comforting the "white peony".
"Mr. Liu, you're so good at skiing! Do you teach me well? "White Peony" didn't seem to hear the second half of Zhan Zhizhan's words, and greeted Teacher Liu who slid over. Since Mr. Liu finished the performance, more than a dozen people began to enter the ice rink to play on the ice.
"Yes. It just so happens that it's a holiday now, and it's all idle. Why didn't you both come home? Teacher Liu smiled and slipped to Zhan Zhizhan and "White Peony", her eyes were strange, as if she had seen a pair of talented and beautiful couples. Zhan Zhizhan was naturally able to read the meaning in Teacher Liu's eyes, but he just pretended not to know.
Teacher Liu paused and continued, "Haven't you all taken ice classes, why haven't you learned it yet?" ”
"Oops...... Mr. Liu, we've only been on ice twice, and we're so stupid, how can we learn it so quickly. "White Peony" pursed his lips, and after he finished speaking, he asked Zhan Zhizhan: "Zhan Zhizhan, have you learned?" ”
"I can barely glide on the ice. Don't be like this little girl......" As he spoke, Zhan Zhizhan smiled and pointed to a little girl who was holding a small stool and sliding step by step.
"White Peony" Bing Xue is smart, and naturally she can hear the overtone of Teacher Liu's words, as if she and Zhan Zhizhan are reluctant to go home because they are reluctant to go home, stay in the school, and mix oil in honey. After all, she admitted in public that Zhan Zhizhan was her boyfriend, and there was nothing in the whole school, whether it was teachers or students, who didn't know. "White Peony" simply pretended not to understand, pouted and said: "The skates we borrowed in the Physical Education Department are all speed skating blades, long and thin, and they can't stand steadily, where are they like Mr. Liu's skates, there are knife teeth in front." I really can't do it, I can just walk with the tip of my knife upright. ”
Teacher Liu smiled: "Yu Keying originally wanted to experience the pattern skate. Hehe...... It's easy to do, I'll satisfy you. However, the blades of figure skating skates are mainly used for jumping, not for skating and spinning. ”
"White Peony" clapped his hands and smiled: "That's great, thank you Mr. Liu!" ”
Seeing that Mr. Liu took off his skates and handed them to himself, "White Peony" took them overjoyed, sat on the snow and hurriedly changed them. "White Peony" stood up, holding the railing tightly with both hands, but he couldn't take a step. With the encouragement of Teacher Liu, she cautiously tried to let go of her hand, but as soon as she stepped on her left foot, her right foot had not yet been withdrawn, and her body slid out two steps. With a "oops", the "white peony" rolled on the ice rink, covered with ice chips, causing everyone to laugh. "White Peony" was so embarrassed that her face was flushed, and she got up in a panic and wanted to straighten up, who wanted to stumble again, and her ass came with a heavy butt piercing.
Teacher Liu pulled up the "white peony" and said with a smile: "Yu Keying, when you stand on the ice, the two knives are supported by a flat blade, the feet are the same width as the shoulders, the two knives are standing in a figure of eight, the arms are naturally drooping, and the center of gravity is placed in the middle of the ice blade between the two feet. Standing on ice is the basis for the next step of skating, and you have to stand firm before you can move on to the next step, and then you can practice later to familiarize yourself with the ice. ”
"Zhan Zhizhan, what are you looking at? Why don't you come and help me! "White Peony" staggered and shouted again.
"Okay...... I'm coming! Now that the holy decree has been issued, Zhan Zhizhan hurriedly went over and grabbed the other arm of the "White Peony".
Teacher Liu is really a competent teacher, she is kind and persuasive, and tirelessly teaches the essentials of the "White Peony" movement: "Yu Keying, you can't look like this, your upper body should stand upright, look straight ahead, palms down, arms stretched out to the side and forward, feet slightly apart, shoulder-width apart, and two ice blades stand parallel to each other." In order to skate on the ice, you must have an initial velocity, which is to pedal the ice. When kicking, first bend your knees slightly and put your weight on your left leg, then shift your weight to your right foot and push your weight onto your left leg as you slide forward with the front half of your right foot blade. After completing the kicking movement, quickly retract the kick back to its original position, slide it with your left foot into two flat blades, put your weight between your feet, and slide your body forward with the help of inertia. Then switch to the other foot and do the same double-foot skating action. When the speed drops, then push the ice with the inside edge of your left foot, and then slide in with your right leg in two flat blades. ”
"White Peony" came up with a strong and serious study, her feet stood on the ice in a T-shape, her left foot in front, her right foot in the back, her knees slightly bent, and she used the front of the inner blade of the ice blade of her right foot to do the skating movement. However, she forgot to pay attention to keeping both ankles upright and her left ankle not upright. Teacher Liu hurriedly instructed: "Yu Keying, don't be nervous, your body must remain upright, don't lean forward or lean back or twist from side to side." Excessive mental tension is not conducive to maintaining physical balance. ”
Seeing that "White Peony" had basically mastered the essentials of the movement, Mr. Liu said with a smile: "Yu Keying, you are so smart." Now you can slide on top of both feet, spread your feet wider from left to right, and when you slide by inertia, you can focus on one foot and slide with a flat blade, and the other foot on the side to help support you, and feel the physical sensation of supporting one foot. ”
