It was the second day after the men's singles short program at the World Figure Skating Championships.Since the World Championships has much more participants than the Grand Prix and the schedule is longer, the free skating competition is arranged to be held one day apart from the short program.

Generally, the last game of the World Series is the women's singles free skating, which is determined by the characteristics of figure skating.Due to their beautiful body, outstanding appearance, plus the addition of makeup and clothing, female athletes have their own star halo on the field. If they have a high level of competition, they can easily become sports stars. Add a "figure skating princess" or "figure skating princess" "Pretty Girl" title.It is also often the focus of a game to attract viewers to watch.

It makes sense when you think about it, male ice fans love to watch beautiful female players, and female ice fans also love to watch, handsome male players may not be very popular among male ice fans.

However, in the past few years, men's and women's singles in figure skating have been in decline. Until the recent Olympic cycles, the rise of Dominique and others raised the average value of figure skating men's singles and made figure skating men's singles reappear. The star-level players, this Olympic cycle is even more feng shui, the men's singles players who are mixed, Dominic's appearance and height are all online, even Haimo can be regarded as a short, rich and handsome, younger Adrian An, Xu Lingjun, Takei, Rossi and others all look pretty good, feasting the eyes of many girl ice fans, and they all said that watching the game during this cycle has purified and satisfied the eyes and soul.

As a result, men's singles are slightly more popular than women's singles in today's figure skating arena, which is why the order of events at the Chicago World Championships has been adjusted in this way.Today is the ice dance short dance and women's single free skating.

Both Ge Tianxing and Zhu Heng went to accompany Yue Baozhu to compete, leaving only Xu Lingjun and the health doctor in the hotel.Due to the failure of yesterday's performance, both Ge Tianxing and Zhu Rui were more worried about Xu Lingjun's state, so Zhu Rui volunteered to stay with him.

Compared with Ge Tianxing, Zhu Rui's style is much younger, and he is not so old father.If Ge Tianxing was accompanying him at the hotel, he would definitely stay close to him because he was worried about Xu Lingjun, and try to chat with him to enlighten him; however, Zhu Rui chose to leave Xu Lingjun alone in the room to calm down, and he walked away quietly. Going out leaves him room to think alone.

Xu Lingjun is still very grateful to Zhu Rui for doing this from the bottom of his heart.

Now he feels like a balloon. Ever since he was injured, he has been stuck in his chest, and the more he fills it, the more it will explode at any moment.

The heating was on in the hotel room, and it was scorching hot. Everything piled up under the table made him feel anxious. When he opened the window and saw the boundless white snow outside, he suddenly grabbed the down jacket and put it on and walked out the door.

The location of the hotel organized by the organizing committee is also very remote. There is a big road in front of the door, and it is impossible to go out without a car.Xu Lingjun walked out from the back door of the hotel through the corridor, and entered an open area after walking for a while.The backside used to be a huge lawn for residents to rest and play golf, but now it is covered with snow that has not melted for several months, and there is not even a single person's footprint on the snow.

In this weather, no one would think of stepping on the snow.

Xu Lingjun walked slowly through the snow step by step. He actually didn't know what his purpose was, but felt that his mind was burning and urgently needed something to calm him down.

The soft white snow poured in from the trousers, it was a bit cool, and the cold wind hit his face. Compared with the warm room, this familiar coldness made him feel safer.Xu Lingjun looked at the neat row of trees in the distance of the endless snow field, and suddenly felt a desire to vent.

"Ah!!!!" He raised his arms and roared.

"Ah... ah..." There was a weak echo in the open space, as if Xu Lingjun, who existed in a parallel world, was talking to him at this moment.

Xu Lingjun bent down and grabbed a handful of snow and threw it into the sky with all his strength. The weather was dry and the snow was not frozen at all.

"Is this all you can do?!" he yelled towards the end of the snow.

"Du?...?..." There was no movement in the silent snow, only a faint echo came, vague and indistinct.

There was a crisp "pa" from the center of the snow, and Xu Lingjun raised his red palm from the cold and slapped his face hard.

This cold and wet slap seemed to clear his mind. Xu Lingjun looked down at his palm and murmured: "No, I don't believe it..."

At that moment, there was a flash of light in his eyes, he raised his head and yelled loudly at the sky:

"I fucking don't believe in fate!"

Another large handful of snow balls was squeezed tightly and thrown into the sky.

This time, the snow ball was glued very tightly, and when it hit the ground, it made an almost inaudible sound, leaving a deep crater on the white and flat snow.

Xu Lingjun stood still and stared at the snow pit for a long time, and suddenly felt that all the hostility, resentment, and gloom in his body were dissipated in the swirling air with the Chicago winter wind.

Dragging his trousers and shoes full of snow foam in the seams of his trousers and returning the same way, Xu Lingjun walked back to the warm corridor where he came, but unexpectedly found Zhu Rui standing there, holding a scarf in his hand.

"I just went to the room to find you for dinner, and I wandered around the hotel without seeing anyone, but I just bumped into you here." Zhu Rui said with a smile, handed over the scarf in his hand, and took out a pack of napkins to smoke. Two sheets: "Wipe your hands, are you going to play in the snow? Why don't you ask Brother Shang to go with you?"

Looking at Zhu Rui's playful smile, Xu Lingjun guessed that he hadn't seen himself in the snow, so he was relieved for some reason, took the napkin and wiped his hands expressionlessly, and threw the waste paper into the snow. trash can nearby.

Xu Lingjun, who had finished throwing out the garbage, turned around and was about to ask Zhu Rui why the restaurant was already open so early, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the trousers on Zhu Rui who was walking in front from the corner of his eye.

In this dry winter, his trousers and the edges of his shoes were wet.

So he swallowed the words that came to his lips, and took a few quick steps to catch up.

Day [-], Hills Sports Center.

In the women's singles free skating competition the day before, Yue Baozhu performed well and even made a small mistake. However, she still ranked No.7 in the final result and retained two places for the Chinese women's singles competition next year.

Now the staff of Yuhu are focusing their energy on Xu Lingjun and Zhong Feiyang who are about to compete today.

Zhong Feiyang's performance yesterday was very good. After the short program, he was ranked No.5. However, his state has been ups and downs and unstable over the years. This season has improved a lot, but Ge Tianxing dare not I can assure you that he will be stable in today's free skating, so I had to do some ideological work for him before the competition, trying to make him relax and show a better state.

After finally finishing Zhong Feiyang's preparations, Ge Tianxing looked at the silent figure wearing earphones to warm up in the corner on the other side rather tangled.

It was Xu Lingjun, his most proud disciple.

Yesterday he discovered that Xu Lingjun's condition was not very good, but unlike Yue Baozhu and Zhong Feiyang who liked to talk out when they were bored, Xu Lingjun was an out-and-out boring gourd. He didn't want to say it, and he wouldn't confide a word.

On weekdays, Xu Lingjun is always unusually precocious, and he looks at problems calmly. He has never encountered any corners that he can't get out of.However, since he was injured a while ago, his state has always worried him.

What worried him most was that he couldn't catch Xu Lingjun's ups and downs at all.

Want to say hurt?In Ge Tianxing's memory, Xu Ling has long been used to throwing and beating since he was a child, whether it was a broken arm or leg, or something serious. Even with stitches, Xu Lingjun didn't even say a word, let alone shed a tear.The current illness shouldn't make him so abnormal.

After several unsuccessful attempts to appease him, Ge Tianxing also fell into confusion. Finally, under Zhu Rui's suggestion, he gave Xu Lingjun some time and believed in his own adjustment ability.

So far, I don't know if this kind of letting go has any effect, but seeing the calmness and tenacity in his disciple's eyes restored, Ge Tianxing thinks it should still have some effect.

It's useless to say more now, I can only hope in God.

Ranked seventh in the short program, Xu Lingjun failed to enter the last group of the competition, and played in the penultimate group.This is relatively rare after his points come up.To make matters worse, he was actually drawn to play first in the penultimate group.

The ice fans were all hopeless, and felt that just looking at this sequence, they wanted a cool rhythm.

Such an early free skating ranking has never appeared since Xu Lingjun began to compete in international competitions.

But miraculously, Xu Lingjun was not too affected.

His mood was surprisingly calm, as if nothing could affect him anymore.

In the middle of the warm-up, Xu Lingjun's cell phone in his trouser pocket suddenly vibrated.

He took out his phone and looked, it was a WeChat message from Hou Boyan last night.He was abroad, and he didn't turn on data at all. It may be because there is a coffee shop outside the direction of the venue. His mobile phone has connected to WiFi here. At this time, he walked to this location and naturally received Hou Boyan's message.

"Old Xu, don't take the nonsense about quotas that I said before, just do your best and have no regrets! Don't bother with the media's nonsense, let's not be as knowledgeable as them, and I'll treat you to roast duck when I come back!"

Xu Lingjun looked at this WeChat, and showed a sincere smile after a few days.

Of course he knew what the outside media said about him after the short program, but what did it matter to him?

His life was not for them.The grades are not for them.

It is enough to have these people who really care about him.

With his fingers flying, Xu Lingjun took advantage of the weak signal and quickly replied a WeChat message to Hou Boyan.

"Understood, don't worry, next year's World Championships, brother will take you to fly."

Thinking of Hou Boyan's aggrieved and speechless expression when he saw the word "Brother" on WeChat, Xu Lingjun suddenly felt in a good mood.

After the ice-sweeping was over, a notification sounded from the backstage: "The third group of warm-up contestants, please come to the front stage to prepare."

Xu Lingjun stuffed his phone into his suitcase and walked towards the ice rink.

***

The freshly swept ice surface was clean and tidy, and 6 minutes of practice didn't do much damage to it.Xu Lingjun felt that he had got rid of the ropes that imprisoned him, and found a new freedom on the ice.

"Perfect! This sandwich! It seems that even though our little genius was troubled by injuries, he didn't admit defeat at all. He is not going to lower the difficulty! It seems that his choice is correct now. Although the quality is not as good as before, in execution There is a loss in points, but so far, he has done every jump and stood still. This is the victory of human spirit and will! Look at the real-time technical points in the upper left corner! Yesterday's short program mistakes cost too much, But looking at this scene, I can say without doubt that what we are seeing now is a future world champion! This is a championship-level performance!"

Uncle Ou Ti's excited roar came from the speaker, Feng Lin and Du Xiaoxiao beside the computer screen covered their mouths, tears rolled in their eyes.

"Let's take a look at the last hook jump, which is undoubtedly his specialty! The ice is a little tight, but he still stops! Incredible! It's a soul-burning program!"

Xu Lingjun on the field was panting heavily. His legs were already shaking a little at this time, but he had already realized that he had completed all the jumping movements.

The fact that it is basically clean keeps pounding his nerves, and the adrenaline is crazily secreted.

The final choreographed footwork began, and the ensemble of brass instruments was full of passion. The figure on the ice seemed small against the backdrop of the huge ice rink, but his fast speed and tense limbs made his sense of presence infinitely magnified.

"Bangbang, he shot me down"

(bang bang, he shoots me)

"Bangbang, I hit the ground"

(bang bang, I fall to the ground)

Xu Lingjun covered his chest, showing an expression of pain in surprise and relief in pain.

Fate had played tricks on him, tried to knock him down, to crush him.Yet he finally stood up.

At this moment, he finally got rid of the heavy shackles and shell of the previous life.

The boy on the field half-kneeled on the ice, raising his head to look directly at the bright and dazzling overhead lights.

This used to be a scene of fear in his dreams, but now, this bright light illuminates the stage he loves the most, crowning him who has broken out of the cocoon and become a butterfly.

Without closing his eyelids, Xu Lingjun felt hot tears streaming down his cheeks.
