This year's Dennis Tan Memorial Tournament does not have a luxurious lineup, because it is sandwiched between the GP US and Canadian events. Even if those world-class European and American players are willing to participate, they have to focus on the A-level events first.
If we count them carefully, Lu You and Xie Yunjun, who won bronze medals in the Winter Olympics, are actually the top players in this competition.
On the night after the exhibition skating, the two boarded the plane back home with their two small gold medals. Because they had to rush back to participate in the GP China station a week later, the group did not even have time to take a good look at Alatoum, the largest city in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
When leaving the hotel, Lu You and Xie Yunjun received small baked naan and a few bottles of Айран as gifts from the young female student from Kazakhstan.
Айран is a special yogurt mixed with salt water in Kazakhstan. The locals call it aylan. It is said that its taste is very psychedelic, which can make those who love it unable to stop, and can also make those who hate it go crazy after drinking it.
I don’t know whether others like it or not, but Lu You’s salivary glands collapsed after just one sip.
It turns out there really are drinks in the world that are more unpalatable than Red Scream.
On the third day of planting flowers, I received a message from Kazakh female singles player Skaya, who followed me on Instagram. It seemed that this girl particularly wanted to know what her Chinese friends thought of the food in her hometown.
Lu You: [Thank you, the taste is very special, but liquid dairy products cannot pass through customs, so the staff confiscated it before we finished it T^T]
Skaya immediately said that it was okay, her family was the most famous alan brand manufacturer in Kazakhstan, so she had known the simplified version of alan making method since she was a child.
Skaia: [You, if we meet in a competition, I will buy the materials and make it for you^o^]
Lu You: Choked.
Lu You felt that her salivary glands began to protest again. She had just landed at the Fog City Airport and silently clicked on the list of participants in the China station, looking for Skaia's name - fortunately, Skaia was not participating in CoC (Grand Prix China).
"This is the third year that the CoC has been held in the Fog City. The ice skating industry in the southwest region has developed rapidly in recent years," Jiang Yang said, looking at the foggy weather outside the airport. "Ten years ago, when I came to the Fog City to select the national youth team, many children here had never skated on real ice."
Today, domestically renowned figures such as Lin Yinian, Deng Manyue and Fu Wenxing all come from this city full of mountains, and they have represented the country and appeared on the world stage.
There is an aerial bridge outside the exit of the Fog City Airport. When you lean over and look down, you can see a long queue of yellow taxis waiting for passengers. Because it feels like a blockbuster movie, many tourists who come to the Fog City gather here to take pictures.
When passing by, Lu You grabbed the corner of Xie Yunjun's clothes, raised her phone, stood on tiptoe, hooked the boy's neck and pulled it down. She rested the back of her head on the boy's neck, winked and took a selfie.
Then, Lu You took out a mobile phone from the pocket of his male companion's down jacket and skillfully grabbed his thumb to unlock it.
Xie Yunjun pinched the girl's wrist, inserted his fingers into her fingers and held them, then skillfully... did the splits.
There's no way. Although Lu You is 161cm tall and barely 163cm with shoes, he still looks like a little bird when standing next to Xie Yunjun, who is over 1.8 meters tall. Over time, Xie Yunjun has learned to do splits to lower his height during group photos and interviews.
Jiang Yang looked a little worried: "Do you think the nutritionist in our provincial team cafeteria took a part-time course in animal husbandry when he was studying abroad, and specialized in Modern Practical Pig Farming Technology? Otherwise, how could the heights of these children be so outrageous?"
You know what, there is not a single short player in the Jianglin provincial team at the moment. Lu You is considered good enough. You have to know that Jiang Shi is 169 cm tall. When he puts on ice skates, he is definitely 1.7 meters tall. There is no sense of incongruity when he stands among the male players.
After bringing out Jiang Shi's 3A, Lu Tingsong also figured out some tricks of 3A teaching, and is currently experimenting with it on Chi Hui and other players in the team.
If he can really succeed, Lu Tingsong will be the first man in the world to master 3A wholesale technology, and he is destined to be immortal in the figure skating world in the future.
On the other side, after taking the photo, both of them opened Weibo and clicked the publish button at the same time.
The number of her and Xie Yunjun's fans has increased to 1.5 million during this period. The two children, who are busy studying and training, have basically no time to surf the Internet. The accounts of both of them have been dormant for a long time, and they are only revived when they need to post on Weibo to promote commercial endorsements.
Xie Yunjun V: [We have arrived. [Picture]]
Lu You V: [Parent-child outfit with someone? [Picture] @飞踏-Born for sports]
Lu You also took the opportunity to at the official Weibo of Feita. This year, the calcium tablets of Gaoleduo are selling so well. If she doesn't help another endorsement, the brand will faint in the toilet crying.
Less than a minute after the Weibo post was posted, the two received over a thousand likes and over three hundred replies, which means that Lu You and Xie Yunjun have more active fans than some big Vs with millions of followers.
[Wang Yifeng, stop bragging: You call this parent-child relationship? Family members, do you think it is parent-child relationship? I don’t think so]
[87-year-old on crutches: Thank you for letting Lulu run the business alone. How dare you! Are you trying to tire your sweetheart to death? ]
[Cat litter box pheromone: Hahahaha thank you so much, are you awesome? Lower your status. ]
[Disney escaped social animal: I am looking forward to the China Cup! Come on LX in the new season! ]
Lu You rushed over to the official Weibo account of Feita, interacted with the official Weibo account for a while, then put away his phone and met up with the national team in the hotel lobby.
On the night after the pre-match training, Xue Chengze held a brief meeting with them, probably to remind these young people to pay attention to their diet before the game and not to play with their mobile phones too late.
Everyone was a "veteran" with rich competition experience. After agreeing with a laugh, they went back to their rooms.
The flower-growing team was assigned to the 6th floor, along with the Japanese team. Players from these two countries were relatively conservative. They didn't try many tricks during the competition and weren't into casual romance.
At this time, most of the contestants were resting in the room, and a few of them laid yoga mats in the aisle and did training silently.
At 9:30 in the evening, the hotel staff rang the doorbell of room 6003 with a small box.
When Xie Yunjun opened the door, the waiter was stunned for a moment after seeing the handsome face, and then shyly handed over the things in his hand: "This is what you just called for."
It was a white paper bag. Xie Yunjun glanced at Lu You in the room and thought that she had asked for something, so he took it and opened it.
As soon as a corner of the paper bag was opened, a pink box with a logo appeared.
The boy averted his eyes instantly and snapped them shut.
"It was delivered to the wrong room." Xie Yunjun handed the item back quickly, as if the contents were hot.
"Ah...?" The waiter standing outside the door took a step back, glanced at the door number, realized that he had delivered the wrong thing, and apologized in horror, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! I pressed the wrong floor!"
"It doesn't matter."
After closing the door, the boy walked back to the room slowly. Lu You, who was lying on the table writing homework, looked up and saw his male companion staring out the window in a trance, with an abnormal pink color on his neck.
"Xie Yunjun," Lu You leaned over and touched his Adam's apple, "Why are you blushing for no apparent reason?"
Xie Yunjun finally came back to his senses. He grabbed Lu You's hand that was touching him randomly and glanced at his female companion who was wearing furry pajamas. He seemed to feel that the air was a bit hot, so he used the remote control to lower the air conditioner temperature.
"Don't look at me, look at the question."
After the boy finished speaking, he bent down to reach for Lu You's slippers that were flying all over the room, picked them up and placed them at her feet, and said in a hoarse voice: "You have almost finished writing the questions, you still have a competition tomorrow, go to bed early."
Lu You: “?” Three seconds ago you were still asking me to look at the questions.
One minute later.
Lu You, wearing slippers, stood at the door of Xie Yunjun's room, holding the "Huanggang Examination Paper" in confusion.
Lu You: The night wind is so cold, but it’s not as cold as the chill I feel when my boyfriend throws me out of the room for no apparent reason.
At this time, Xiao Jiangyou, who was doing leg raises in the corridor, winked and said to her, "Kong Bang Wa (Good evening)."
Lu You was still confused. She responded absentmindedly and went back to her room in cotton slippers. The moment she closed the door, Xiao Jiang Yumi blinked.
She saw with her own eyes that Tori-chan happily entered Kimi-san's room more than ten minutes ago, but now she came out in a daze.
It turns out that even the best couples will have quarrels.
Yumi Koe thought.
At the same time, the waiter finally found the correct floor and knocked on the door of room 8003.
Compared with the quietness of the sixth floor, the eighth floor has a completely different atmosphere. When the door is opened, the sound of heavy metal music from inside hits you.
"Oh, thanks."
Selena, the ice dance queen of North America, was wrapped in a bathrobe, revealing her sexy collarbone. She took out a human cub burp kit from the bag, took a look at it, and stuffed a hundred-dollar tip into the waiter's hand with satisfaction.
…
The Grand Prix has a fixed six stops every season. Due to the special competition system, the Grand Prix is a two-way choice between the organizer and the players.
As star athletes, Lu You and Xie Yunjun naturally received invitations to six races at the beginning of the season. They originally wanted to sign up for the Chinese and Japanese races, but before the points ranking test, in order to avoid clashing with other star players, Lu You and Xie Yunjun's second race was moved to the French race by the ISU.
When everyone talked about this before the race, Yuto Nakazaki, who had been to the French station, had a mysterious smile on his face.
"The ice at the French station... you'll know once you try it."
