Chapter 109 PyeongChang Awards and Exhibition Skating
There is no better moment than this.
Jiang Lin couldn't help crying and hugged Xu Chi tightly. Ji Tiantian sat on the sofa in the small house, holding Tang Yi's hand, with a calm expression.
It's not like she didn't see Darya and Nikolay's matches, and it's not like she didn't see their scores and rankings displayed on the screen.
She just felt like she was in an overly beautiful dream, without any sense of reality.
"Ahhhhhh!" The rolling waves of sound came from all directions, and many spectators shouted excitedly.
Chen Yusheng and Feifei joined the screaming team with tears in their eyes. Wang Hao and Qian Xiyue were relatively calm. They stared at the score display screen without moving their eyes away, with a faint smile on their lips.
"Aunt, Uncle!" Ni Chuan jumped up and yelled at Ji Ze, Zhang Lilian and Liu Hui, "We got the gold medal! Gold medal!"
Zhang Lilian and Liu Hui leaned against each other, hugged each other and cried. Ji Ze lowered his head and pinched the bridge of his nose, then wiped the corners of his eyes vigorously.
"Ahhhhhh!" Many Chinese audiences who were watching the live broadcast of the ice dance competition in front of their TVs couldn't help but jump up and scream.
"We won! We won!" In a hotpot restaurant in the capital, customers jumped and danced around the TV, and their shouts almost blew the roof off.
Suddenly, a sharp cry broke through the shouts of the crowd. The customers looked in the direction of the sound and saw the hot pot restaurant owner Chang Yu in the middle of the crowd, crying louder and louder.
Everyone handed tissues to Chang Yu. "Boss, it's exciting to win a gold medal, but aren't you exaggerating a bit..." A square-faced familiar customer asked in confusion.
"It's not an exaggeration..." Chang Yu said while wiping his tears, "Wuwuwu... It's not an exaggeration at all!"
Wei Xiao looked at Chang Yu, sighed helplessly, then reached out and hugged him.
"Xiaoxiao, we won the gold medal in ice dancing..." Chang Yu was so grown up, but he cried like a baby in Wei Xiao's arms, "We won the gold medal..."
"I know, I saw it." Wei Xiao nodded, hugged Chang Yu, and tears fell. She wiped her tears and laughed again: "We have a gold medal!"
"Dear audience, the ice dance competition of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics has just ended. The last group to perform was the Russian contestants, and their score was also very high, with 122.07 points in the free dance, successfully obtaining the full grade. However, their free dance technical score and program content score were not higher than our contestants, Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi. Including the short dance score, their total score is still behind our contestants!"
The host's excited voice was transmitted to thousands of households through the live broadcast. "Ice dance competitions are like this, masters compete against each other, and in the end it all depends on who makes fewer mistakes. With the same two full-rated programs, our contestants, Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi, achieved a very rare technical move with zero mistakes, and every blade was very precise. They beat the slightly inferior Russian No. 1 combination and won first place! And this is the first time that their program content score exceeded that of the Russian No. 1. Their wonderful performance was recognized by everyone in the Pyeongchang competition!"
At this time, the rankings of all players are displayed on the display screen in the competition venue according to the total scores, and are also displayed on the TV screen.
First place: China's Ji Tiantian Tang Yi 206.66
2nd place Darya Nikolay of Russia 205.78
3rd place: Judy Jayne of Canada 194.35
4th place: Rita Thompson of the United States 191.20
Fifth place: Katerin and Ivanov of Russia: 189.57
6th place: Mia Lucas of Canada 184.19
Lin Aili's group ranked tenth with a total score of 172.91, and Suzuki Kotani ranked 15th with a total score of 159.34.
"Dear audience, what you are seeing now is the total score and ranking of the ice dance event at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics! Both of our teams performed very well!"
The host's high-pitched voice continued to ring out: "Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi, they were only 0.23 points behind the Russian No. 1 combination in the short dance competition. However, they overtook the team with their perfect performance in the free dance without any mistakes and their outstanding performance! They fought a beautiful comeback! Coach Feng, do you have anything to say about Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi's outstanding performance in this competition?"
Coach Feng: “Woo woo woo…”
"We won the gold medal in ice dancing..." Coach Feng sniffed and continued speaking in a calm voice, "In the past... this was something we would never have dared to think about..."
"Yes, our country's ice dance finally won the first gold medal in history. In the past, this was something that not only our country, but also all Asian countries dared not even think about! Just today, our ice dancers Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi proved with their outstanding dancing that everything is possible! As long as you dare to do it, you can do it!"
The host continued in an excited voice, "In the past few years, Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi have been working hard and have achieved excellent results in various competitions. And because of their efforts, our country's ice dancing, figure skating, and even all ice and snow sports are becoming more and more important! Many young people have devoted themselves to ice and snow sports! I believe that the significance of today's Pyeongchang Winter Olympics gold medal is significant and far-reaching!"
"We are on the rise in ice dancing!" Coach Feng's powerful voice came from the live broadcast, "We will definitely get better and better in the future!"
"It will definitely get better and better! Let us once again congratulate our Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi, two respectable and lovely plum blossoms! Their blooming figures in Pyeongchang are destined to be remembered forever!"
At this time, Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi were standing in the small house, accepting congratulations from other contestants.
"Congratulations on winning the gold medal. Maybe we had some unpleasant experiences in the past. But in the future, if I do something wrong, please feel free to give me your advice." Thompson said modestly to Ji Tang and the others, "If I have the honor."
"Congratulations. I really like your show. If there is a chance in the future, I hope to have an in-depth exchange with you about Chinese culture." Judy spoke sincerely to Ji Tiantian.
After Ji Tiantian gave American No. 1 and Canadian No. 1 a polite hug, she subconsciously turned her head.
Daria won the silver medal, and Nikolay was looking at her.
Dalia's expression at this moment was somewhat similar to Ji Tiantian's. They were both in a trance and couldn't believe the reality.
After the Sochi gold medal pair retired, Dalia once thought that the pair standing on the Pyeongchang gold medal podium would be her and Nikolay.
But she never imagined that a pair from Asia would rise so fast and win the gold medal.
Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi performed their short dance and free dance with almost no mistakes.
No mistakes, it sounds like a simple phrase, but behind it is immeasurable effort and dedication. As an ice dancer, Dalia deeply understands this.
"Congratulations." Dalia came back to her senses and hugged Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi. "You performed very well and deserved the gold medal."
"Thank you. I look forward to continuing to compete with you in the future." Ji Tiantian said sincerely.
"I'm curious about what happened between you and Tang?" Dariya hesitated for a moment, then asked, "The emotions you showed were very deep and lasting. I feel like a lot of things happened between you, is that right?"
When Ji Tiantian heard this question, she turned around and looked at Tang Yi beside her.
Not all the days they spent together were happy.
But whether it is pain or happiness, it will eventually become the source of their inspiration.
"Maybe." Ji Tiantian curved her lips and gave Dalia a gentle smile.
Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi walked out of the small house hand in hand, and then hugged Lin Aili, Suzuki Kotani, Mia Lucas, and Katerin Ivanov who came to congratulate them. Ji Tiantian was overwhelmed by the smiling faces.
Finally, she came to the coach.
"Tiantian, you will get the bonus from the team when you go back. Are you happy?"
Jiang Lin had regained her composure by this time. She noticed the daze on Ji Tiantian's face, so she grabbed her shoulders and shook them vigorously.
"The gold medal can probably get you 500,000 yuan, but you have to share it with Tang Yi." Xu Chi smiled at Ji Tiantian and pinched the back of Tang Yi's neck. "I'm sure Tang Yi wouldn't mind giving you a little more."
"All for you." Tang Yi said to Ji Tiantian without hesitation.
"So generous?" Xu Chi widened his eyes exaggeratedly, "We are family, why don't you give me some too?"
"That requires Tiantian's consent." Tang Yi said seriously.
"Ah...ah?" Ji Tiantian slowly came back to her senses at this time and immediately shook her head, "No, why give it all to me...I don't have no money, I don't want it!" The coaches couldn't help laughing.
"Please the champion, runner-up, and third-place teams go to the ice and present the flower ceremony." At this time, a notification came over the radio.
It is an old tradition of the Winter Olympics that a flower ceremony is held at the figure skating venue before the medal award ceremony.
"Go ahead." Jiang Lin hugged Ji Tiantian tightly, "You've worked hard. After today, you can have a good rest."
Ji Tiantian nodded vigorously, then walked towards the ice surface hand in hand with Tang Yi.
They, along with the silver medalist Goose No. 1 and the bronze medalist Canada No. 1, came to the center of the ice and saluted the audience.
Amid cheers, they stood on the podium one after another.
The president of the International Skating Union came and presented each of them with a PyeongChang mascot, a little white tiger. At flower ceremonies, mascots are often presented to athletes instead of bouquets.
Ji Tiantian took the little white tiger that belonged to her. The little white tiger was very soft, and Ji Tiantian couldn't help but hold it in her hands and play with it for a while.
"Ji Tiantian! Tang Yi! Ji Tiantian! Tang Yi!" Shouts from all around came like a tide.
Ji Tiantian held the little white tiger, shook it towards the audience, and couldn't help but smile.
After receiving the mascots, Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi walked down from the podium, waiting for the second part of the flower ceremony, the national flag parade.
They came to the ice together and watched the Winter Olympics volunteers holding the five-star red flag in their hands and solemnly approaching them. Tang Yi and Ji Tiantian reached out to take the five-star red flag together.
The moment she touched the flag, Ji Tiantian's vision suddenly became blurred.
At this moment, everything in front of her became real. She was no longer in a trance and knew that everything was happening in reality.
It was as if a switch in my mind had been turned on. The smiling faces around me became clearer, and the cheers from the audience became louder. Everything was so vivid.
I won the Winter Olympics gold medal. I finally got it. Both programs were performed perfectly, without any regrets.
Ji Tiantian held the little white tiger in one hand and wiped away her tears with the other.
It is a blessing to be able to present my work on the ice in the most perfect way.
Even more fortunately, it was recognized. For this moment, she was willing to pay any price.
"We've been in a hurry these past few years." Tang Yi's deep voice rang beside Ji Tiantian's ears, "It's okay to slow down now. Don't rush."
"Yeah." Ji Tiantian nodded and took some time to calm down. Then she and Tang Yi held the mascot in one hand and a corner of the national flag in the other, and raised the national flag high.
The national flag looks light, but Ji Tiantian can feel its weight.
Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi held the national flag together, walked side by side, and skated quickly around the ice. The five-star red flag flew up behind them.
Unlike in Sochi, this time they walked at the front with the national flag, followed by Goose One and Canada One.
“China will win!”
"Ji Tiantian! Tang Yi! Ji Tiantian! Tang Yi!"
"Sweetie! Sweetie! You guys are the best!"
Amid the thunderous cheers, Ji Tiantian looked up at the audience seats where countless small red flags were flying, and smiled brightly.
At this moment, she experienced a reality that was better than her dreams.
After the inspection, the flower ceremony was over. Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi placed the national flag properly.
They went to the locker room, changed their skates and coats, put on their national team uniforms and shoes, and then, led by etiquette ladies, went to the award plaza to prepare for the medal ceremony.
While they were preparing, Ning Huai, Ye Yidun, and Yu Sha Gaozhe were already waiting at the award ceremony plaza.
There were a lot of spectators and Chinese ice and snow athletes at the competition venue this time, so they didn't get a seat and didn't go. They came to the square in advance to find a better angle to watch the ice dance award ceremony.
Soon after, the audience of the figure skating venue arrived at the award ceremony square one after another. Ji Tang's family and friends also came. Everyone held a small five-star red flag and waited quietly for the award ceremony to begin. Although they were standing in the cold wind, everyone felt warm in their chests.
"Next, the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics ice dance award ceremony will be held." A voice came from the radio.
Ji Tang and the other two pairs of contestants, led by the etiquette lady, stepped onto the stage in the center of the award plaza. Under the stage, there was a sea of people, so dense that it was impossible to see the end. There were many more spectators than during the team competition award ceremony.
"Ji Tiantian! Tang Yi!"
Amidst the cheers, Ji Tang waved to the audience while walking around the field, and then stood in front of their respective podiums with the other two pairs of contestants.
"Ice dance bronze medalist, Pyeongchang Winter Olympics third place winner, Canada, Judy Jayne!" the broadcast sounded.
Judy Jayne stepped onto the bronze medal podium together and hugged each other tightly amid cheers.
"Ice dance silver medalist, PyeongChang Winter Olympics runner-up, Russia, Dalia, Nikolay!"
They hugged each other tightly and then touched each other's cheeks.
"Ice dance gold medalist, PyeongChang Winter Olympics champion, China, Ji Tiantian, Tang Yi!"
Ji Tiantian took a deep breath, and stepped onto the highest podium of the Winter Olympics with Tang Yi, smiling and waving to the audience.
"Sweetie! Kiss!"
"Kiss! Stick!"
The audience cheered together.
Ji Tiantian turned her head and looked at Tang Yi, and Tang Yi also looked at her. Ji Tiantian pursed her lips. For a moment, she really wanted to give it a try. But she still couldn't overcome her shame.
Then just hug like the other contestants. She thought so, stretched out her hands and hugged Tang Yi tightly, burying her face in his arms. Tang Yi couldn't help but reach out and gently stroked the back of Ji Tiantian's head.
"Ahhhh!" Many spectators in the square screamed.
Tang Yi soon sensed something was wrong. Ji Tiantian buried herself in his arms and started crying again.
Leaning on the solid body of her dance partner and boyfriend, Ji Tiantian's tears fell uncontrollably. She had finished the battle and won a victory. On the ice, she was a fearless warrior, but in front of him, she took off her armor and exposed her softest side. The sadness, pain, and grievances she had felt were vented with tears.
“Wuwuwu…”
"What should I do? Seeing this sweet girl cry makes me want to cry too..."
"It's not easy for them..." Many viewers were moved by Ji Tiantian and couldn't help but shed tears.
"Think of something happy." On the podium, Tang Yi gently rubbed the top of Ji Tiantian's head with his chin, "Chang Yu must be crying at this time. Coach Feng is also easily excited, and he is probably crying too. Who do you think cried more miserably?"
Ji Tiantian sniffed and said, "They definitely didn't cry as hard as I did..."
Tang Yi was silent for a moment, unable to refute. "Then think about something delicious. Let's go back and have hot pot together." Tang Yi was about to name a few dishes, but Ji Tiantian cried even louder.
"Don't you want to eat?" Tang Yi stroked Ji Tiantian's head gently, "Then I'll go back and make you oden."
“I just… I just feel sad when I think about having to eat kimchi for a few more days…” Ji Tiantian cried so sincerely and her heart was broken.
"No hurry, we'll be back soon." Tang Yi hugged Ji Tiantian and couldn't help but smile, "Once we get the bonus, we can eat whatever we want."
The word "bonus" really worked, and Ji Tiantian gradually stopped crying.
"What are they talking about?" someone in the audience asked curiously, "Why is Tian Mei crying so sadly, but Tang Ge is laughing?"
"Are they talking about getting married? Brother Tang said he would use the prize money from the competition to buy a big house, and the sweet girl was so moved that she cried." Someone immediately made up a story.
"Wow, that makes sense, that's how it feels!"
"Sweet sugar is so sweet!"
Amid cheers, the president of the International Skating Union, who was in charge of presenting the awards, walked onto the stage. Ji Tiantian tidied herself up, bent down with Tang Yi, and put on the glittering gold medals.
Although she had prepared herself mentally, Ji Tiantian still couldn't help crying again when the heavy Winter Olympics gold medal was hanging on her chest.
"Tang Yi...we won the gold medal..." She choked up, "What about the Olympic gold medal..."
"This won't be the last piece." Tang Yi reached out and hugged Ji Tiantian's shoulders tightly, with certainty in his voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the flag-raising ceremony is about to begin. Get ready to play the national anthem of the champion country." The broadcast sounded.
The audience turned around and looked towards the flagpole.
Ji Tiantian clasped Tang Yi's fingers with one hand, held the gold medal tightly with the other hand, and looked up at the flagpole.
The moment the national anthem played, Ji Tiantian blinked and tears fell silently.
At this moment, she felt her body was full of strength. She had never experienced such a moment in her life. She felt unprecedented pride and unprecedented peace of mind.
She sang the national anthem at the top of her lungs.
The five-star red flag slowly rose from the flagpole in the center and fluttered above the award ceremony as the loud national anthem played.
Ji Tiantian looked up. She would remember this scene forever.
After leaving the podium, Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi went to the interview area for interviews.
"Ji Tiantian! Tang Yi! Congratulations on winning the gold medals!" Reporters from all over the world rushed to congratulate them. "You have achieved an outstanding achievement that no Asian athlete has ever achieved! You have added a striking touch to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics! How do you feel now!"
"Just, I feel pretty good." With red eyes and nose, Ji Tiantian faced the camera lens and smiled, "Tang Yi and I will continue to work hard and create more good results in the future."
"Now that you've achieved such great results, what are you planning to do to celebrate when you return home?" a Chinese reporter asked.
"Well, I just really want to go back and eat..." Ji Tiantian couldn't help choking up when she said this.
"Ah, Tiantian, what's wrong?" a reporter asked worriedly.
"It's okay, she's just hungry." Tang Yi hugged Ji Tiantian and spoke to the reporter.
"Yes, I came here during the opening ceremony, and I couldn't leave until the closing ceremony. I had to eat kimchi for half a month!"
"Oh, how pitiful!"
"We need to raise some issues with the cafeteria!"
"I'll go now!"
...The reporters were talking at once. Amidst the sympathy, the post-match interview between Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi ended.
Perhaps someone really did raise some concerns. That night, Ji Tiantian discovered that the food in the Olympic Village had indeed improved. The rest of the day didn't seem that hard to endure.
After the ice dance competition, the women's singles and women's downhill skiing competitions followed. Ye Yidong performed steadily and won the 12th place in the women's singles. Qian Xiyue won the 15th place in the downhill skiing, which was the best result in her career.
Then, Ji Tiantian's relatives and friends, except Feifei and Ni Chuan, prepared to go back home. Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi saw them off.
Ji Tang still had one last step to complete, the performance skating, so he couldn't go back right away. Most of his relatives and friends couldn't stay until the performance skating day because of their own plans. Of course, they would watch the performance skating remotely through live broadcast.
"That's amazing! Now you're a gold medalist." Chen Yusheng hugged Ji Tiantian tightly, "Once the title of Winter Olympics champion is released, our dance troupe will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of our lives!"
Ji Tiantian couldn't help but think of the predicament of the dance troupe in her previous life. She was silent for a moment, and smiled confidently at Chen Yusheng: "You definitely don't have to worry."
"Come back after the performance. Mom will wait for you in the capital. I'll take you to eat something delicious!" Zhang Lilian pinched Ji Tiantian's face. After a while, she looked at Tang Yi beside her and said, "You and Tang Yi can go out to eat. Mom will wait for you at home."
"I won't go out to eat with him all the time." Ji Tiantian hugged Zhang Lilian tightly, and then watched her relatives and friends leave.
After bidding farewell to their relatives and friends, Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi went to Pyeongchang to see off Qian Xiyue and other skiers who had just finished the competition. Mia and Lucas also saw them off with Ji Tang.
"Tiantian, I'll wait for you when I get back home." Qian Xiyue said to Ji Tiantian, "There is a high-standard ski resort in the capital that is about to be completed. I want to go and take a look. If it feels good, I can do most of my training in China from now on."
Ji Tiantian nodded. Recently, ice and snow sports have gradually been taken seriously, which is a good phenomenon.
She was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Lucas. Qian Xiyue had been training in Canada and often went skiing with Lucas. If Qian Xiyue moved his main base to China, they would not be able to ski together like they did in the past.
"We may not see each other often in the future. Thank you for your care. You should do your best." Qian Xiyue gave Lucas a big hug and said, "Take care of yourself and don't go skiing in the deserted snowy mountains!"
"Okay, take care of yourself. See you next time." Lucas looked a little lonely, but he didn't say much.
Qian Xiyue dragged her luggage, waved vigorously to the people who came to see her off, and then strode away with a hearty smile.
She walked a little further away, then suddenly seemed to think of something, stopped, turned around and looked at Ji Tiantian.
"Tiantian! Keep up the good work on your performance! I'm so looking forward to it!" She winked at Ji Tiantian, then quickly left.
Ji Tiantian looked at Qian Xiyue's back in confusion as she gradually went away. After a while, she turned to look at Tang Yi: "Performance skating... What do you need to do to keep steady? Why do I feel like she has something else in her words?"
"No." Tang Yi spoke lightly, turning his eyes away, deliberately not looking into Ji Tiantian's eyes.
Ji Tiantian looked at Tang Yi suspiciously. Her intuition told her that Tang Yi was hiding something from her, but she didn't ask any more questions.
All that needs to be done has been done, and the next step is to wait for the performance to begin.
Ji Tiantian stayed in the Olympic Village. Apart from rehearsing the performance skating, she had nothing else to do, so she started playing with her cell phone.
She put together a nine-square grid of photos of her gold medal, official photos taken during the competition and on the podium, and posted it on Weibo. The caption reads: "I am very happy to have received the highest score in my career in this competition, two full ratings for programs, and a shining gold medal! We will continue to improve! I look forward to bringing you more wonderful programs in the future!"
Soon, various comments appeared on Weibo.
"Congratulations to Sweetie and Sugar! Looking forward to your next game!"
"I like your secret fragrance! Sob, sob, sob!"
"Wow, the miracle of Asia! A divine combination!"
"Ahhh, I'm only one World Championship gold medal away from a Grand Slam!"
"Ahhhh sweet sugar, the real gold medal harvester! Invincible!"
"I will always love sweetie! I will always love sweetie!"
Ji Tiantian read the comments for a while, and then went to browse the Weibo topic square.
The ice dance competition is over, and the heat of related topics has faded a little, but the topic "China wins the first Olympic gold medal in history in ice dance" has always been firmly in the top ten of the topic list.
Many die-hard ice fans have been checking in on the topic, unwilling to see the enthusiasm fade.
Coincidentally, among a group of various check-in IDs, Ji Tiantian saw a familiar account name, the name was "Did Tiantang get the marriage certificate today?".
Ji Tiantian had seen this account before. It had always been active on topics related to ice dancing and under Ji Tang's Weibo.
Ji Tiantian clicked on the homepage of this account and found that the pinned Weibo of this account had changed. Ji Tiantian remembered that the previous pinned Weibo was - two great blessings in life, watching Tiantang stand on the gold medal podium and watching Tiantang announce her marriage.
Now it has been changed to - the two greatest blessings in life are watching Tiantang step onto the gold medal podium (already completed successfully) and watching Tiantang announce her marriage (I don’t know when?, anxious).
"Ahhh I'm so anxious too!"
“Wow, get married quickly!” Many netizens passing by left comments under the pinned Weibo post.
Ji Tiantian looked at it and couldn't help but smile.
For some reason, she became more and more looking forward to the future.
Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, it was the day for the exhibition skating.
As before, there are no clear regulations for exhibition skating, there is no need to perform a full set of technical moves, and you can choose your own costumes and props.
The top six skaters in the four figure skating events will participate in this exhibition skating, performing individual programs. Ji Tang, the ice dance champion, will perform the last program.
Because Ji Tang and other figure skaters from the country achieved excellent results, this exhibition skating received unprecedented attention.
Many Chinese people sat in front of their TVs, looking forward to the live broadcast of the skating performance.
The exhibition skating began. The lights in the audience dimmed, and a beam of silver light fell on the crystal ice.
Just like the previous performances, Feifei and Ni Chuan sat anxiously in the audience waiting for Ji Tang to come on stage.
"Is Tiantang a real ship or a fake one? It seems that they have never behaved very intimately except on the podium this time." People in the audience began to whisper.
"So do you think our contestants can kiss as passionately as Goose? Impossible?"
"It didn't make them too intense, but it should be a little more intimate. Judy Jayne's fake boats are more real than these."
"But it's clearly been officially announced..."
"Could it be that they are pretending to be lovers in order to boost the popularity of the dance troupe's performances and commercial events?"
"Yeah, it's just hype. It's not impossible."
“Wow, I’ve been on too many fake boats. I don’t want to go on any more…” The argument was getting louder and louder, and Feifei was listening quietly on the side.
As a big fan of Tiantang, Feifei has encountered similar discussions about real and fake ships many times online and offline. After hearing so much, she also felt a little depressed.
"Are Tiantian and Tang Yi real?" Feifei asked Ni Chuan.
"Is it true..." Ni Chuan was silent for a moment and scratched his head. "Hey, many people have asked me this question... I am not sure anymore after so many people asked. Maybe only they themselves know the answer. Let's see how they develop."
The top four athletes took the stage one by one in the order they were arranged, and soon it was time for the second half of the exhibition skating.
"Next up are the PyeongChang Winter Olympics ice dance gold medalists, China, Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi." A notification came over the radio, "The show they're performing is La La Land!"
Amidst loud applause, Tang Yi, wearing trousers, a shirt and a top hat, skated alone to the light in the middle of the ice.
"La La Land" is a musical film that tells the story of two young people who meet and fall in love while pursuing their dreams.
The music for Ji Tang's performance this time is the soundtrack from the movie - "City Of Stars".
City of stars
City of Stars
Are you shining just for me?
Do you shine only for me?
Accompanied by the sad music, Tang Yi took off his hat. He played with the hat while walking on the ice with a lonely step.
After a while, Le Ming became quicker.
That is now our dream
Our Dream
They've finally come true
It finally came true
Ji Tiantian slid onto the ice surface to the sound of joyful music.
Just as Tang Yi imitated the male protagonist's outfit in the movie, Ji Tiantian was also wearing the same goose yellow dress as the heroine in the movie.
She was wearing a bright dress and walked briskly to Tang Yi, with a bright and warm smile on her face, and she was like a beam of light.
Tang Yi looked at Ji Tiantian and couldn't help but smile. She was indeed the light that entered his life.
Ji Tiantian spun around Tang Yi, her yellow skirt fluttering. As she spun, the lights on the ice surface changed rapidly, and many star patterns appeared on the ice.
The audience couldn't help but applaud.
Tang Yi threw his hat aside, approached Ji Tiantian, and held her hand tightly. The two of them galloped freely in the sea of stars.
They looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
"Ahhh! Tiantang is so sweet!" There was an exclamation from the audience.
While sliding quickly, Ji Tiantian turned over to Tang Yi's shoulder. She sat on his shoulders and raised her arms high.
Tang Yi held Ji Tiantian's legs and spun her among the stars. Ji Tiantian closed her eyes and smiled happily.
They seemed not to be performing, but two young people on a date. Their expressions and movements were extremely natural.
"The ice dancing atmosphere is really great!" Someone in the audience couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
After the twist and lift, Tang Yi put Ji Tiantian down, and they twirled quickly on the ice together, one circle after another, as if they were tireless.
After the last set of squat twists, Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi did not stand up.
They held hands and skated side by side on the ice, kneeling on one leg. They looked up at the sky, their faces full of smiles, filled with happiness and anticipation.
City of stars
City of Stars
You never shined so brightly
You've never shone so bright
As the music ended, they gradually stopped and sat down side by side in the middle of the ice.
They looked up together, like a couple in love, gazing at the starry sky over the city.
The performance ended in such a romantic atmosphere.
Ji Tiantian didn't get up immediately. She breathed rapidly and turned to look at Tang Yi.
Tang Yi seemed to sense what she was going to do and did not stand up immediately after the performance skating.
The music had just ended, but the atmosphere of the skating show was still lingering around. It was dark all around, with a large patch of starlight below, and beside me was my reliable partner and lover.
Ji Tiantian thought, there could never be a better moment than this.
Exclaiming that she was possessed by a ghost, Ji Tiantian moved closer to Tang Yi.
At this moment, she suddenly understood Katerin's passionate actions on the ice.
Sometimes, when emotions come, you can't control them. Ji Tiantian took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to give Tang Yi a light kiss on the lips.
"Ahhhh!" Many people in the audience screamed like kettles boiling.
"Ahhh, is this something I can watch?! This is included in the ticket I bought!"
"Ahhh it's worth it!" More kettles were boiling.
"Is this arranged in the exhibition skating?" someone asked.
"No... I don't know... it should be?"
On the ice, Ji Tiantian looked at Tang Yi who was so close to her, and her breathing became more and more rapid. Tang Yi seemed to be frightened by her sudden kiss, and he was motionless, as if he was petrified.
Maybe Tang Yi doesn't like intimacy without warning? She thought so.
However, just as she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, Tang Yi suddenly reached out and held her face.
Ji Tiantian opened her eyes slightly.
Ji Tiantian sat on the ice, and Tang Yi stood up. He knelt on one knee on the ice, holding her face, and leaned down. Above the stars, he gave her a hotter and stronger kiss.
"Ahhhhhh!" More intense shouts came from the audience.
