◎Her forward speed suddenly increased◎
Although Ji Tiantian also has some knowledge about ice dancing, her experience in choosing a partner is definitely not as good as Tang Yi's.
In Ji Tiantian's eyes, Tang Yi, the tool man, became more and more powerful.
"Then... Coach Xu won't object, right?" Ji Tiantian was a little worried, "Can you make your own decision about your dance partner?"
"He has also seen your skating, he won't object." Tang Yi touched his chin, lowered his eyes to look at the calendar on the table, frowned slightly and revealed a somewhat anxious expression, "But time is a bit tight. We have to catch up with this year's National Championships, and the choreography of the short dance and free dance must be put on the agenda as soon as possible..."
"Okay, I'll do it with you!" Ji Tiantian felt a sense of urgency because of Tang Yi, and she gritted her teeth and made a decision immediately. She couldn't let such a good tool be taken away by others.
"It's nice to work with you, partner." She sniffed and curled her eyes to smile.
She stood up, reached out and pinched Tang Yi's slender fingers and shook them, which counted as a handshake.
Tang Yi looked at Ji Tiantian and couldn't help but smile sincerely.
"By the way, although we are only working together for a short while, there are still some rules that we must abide by." Ji Tiantian suddenly thought of something, and looked straight at Tang Yi with wide eyes, "You can't hide your injury or recurrence of an old injury from me."
"You think it's no big deal to endure it, but it will bring a great psychological burden to your partner." Ji Tiantian continued softly.
She found that the business partnership was really good. She could now easily say things that she didn't know how to say in her previous life.
"Okay, I won't hide it from you anymore." Tang Yi nodded vigorously.
"What about you now? Are you injured?" Ji Tiantian tilted her head and glanced at Tang Yi. "Tell me so I can be more careful."
"I'm fine now, I'm not injured." Tang Yi replied.
"Really?" Ji Tiantian looked suspicious.
In his previous life, Tang Yi suffered a concussion in a match before his retirement due to a failed lift, and the sequelae have never subsided. Now he has not experienced that tragic accident. But she is not sure that his other parts are intact.
"In that case, I will express my sincerity in cooperation." Tang Yi was silent for a moment, standing in front of Ji Tiantian, "Come here and check it yourself." As he said that, he put his hands over his head, pulled the collar and gently pulled it, and took off his T-shirt.
"What are you doing!" Ji Tiantian screamed and covered her eyes.
"It's over, right?" Tang Yi's eyes revealed incomprehension, "It's not like you haven't seen it before."
"I've never seen this model!" Ji Tiantian covered her face and took a deep breath, "Tang Yi, this is wrong! You are a minor now... How can you do this in front of adults!"
Tang Yi rubbed his forehead and felt a real headache, then he found that he was a little hungry.
He rushed to Nancheng from the capital overnight, bought some tea and oden, and then went straight to Ji Tiantian to persuade her.
The whole process was not only physically demanding but also mentally demanding, and his young body was really not able to resist hunger. From time to time, golden stars flew in front of his eyes.
He couldn't help but look at the oden paper bowl in front of Ji Tiantian. Now there was only a bunch of meatballs left in it.
Ji Tiantian covered her eyes and suddenly heard a slight noise. She put her hands down and saw Tang Yi eating her meatballs. One side of his thin face was obviously bulging, like a chipmunk that had eaten peanuts.
"You even stole my meatballs!" Ji Tiantian's eyes widened for a moment.
"Aren't you going to leave some for later use?" Tang Yi said vaguely, holding a meatball in his mouth.
"I wanted to save it for the last minute!" Ji Tiantian sighed deeply, worry in her eyes, "How come we don't have any tacit understanding at all? Can we still cooperate?"
"Here you go." Tang Yi held the remaining meatballs in front of Ji Tiantian without hesitation, "I didn't touch the rest."
"You eat it." Ji Tiantian pushed Tang Yi's hand away, "It's just a bunch of meatballs, don't push it back and forth. You're not that poor."
But Tang Yi still wanted to give it to her, and the two of them pushed and shoved each other, and were in a stalemate for a while.
At this moment, the door lock made a noise, and then Zhang Lilian walked in. She was carrying the vegetables she had just bought, and looked at Ji Tiantian, then at Tang Yi, who was wearing only air on his upper body, and did not speak for a while.
The air was very quiet.
Ji Tiantian was also a little stunned. She had never seen such a bizarre scene in her two lifetimes.
Some habits are hard to correct. Seeing Tang Yi about to say "Mom", Ji Tiantian immediately kicked him.
Tang Yi: “…Hello, Auntie.” He fairly understood what she meant. It seemed like they still had the most basic tacit understanding.
"Mom, this is Tang Yi from the national ice dance team, whom I met at the training camp. I'm helping him check his body!" Ji Tiantian explained to Zhang Lilian while Tang Yi was putting on his clothes.
Zhang Lilian was silent, not knowing how much she believed. After a while, she smiled at Tang Yi and said, "You have a good figure, young man. Can you stretch your instep for Auntie to see?"
Ji Tiantian sighed silently. As a mother who was a teacher of a dance hobby class, her favorite thing to do was to look at other people's insteps, especially the insteps of good-looking boys.
There were few little boys learning to dance, so Zhang Lilian always paid special attention to them. Almost all the boys living nearby could not escape the clutches of Teacher Zhang, and none of them had not had their insteps examined by Teacher Zhang.
Having a beautifully curved instep is definitely a plus for dancers. When Zhang Lilian sees a child with a good instep, she will try every possible means to persuade the parents and try to "kidnap" the child into her interest class.
It is hard to say that what Teacher Zhang did was not good. The two boys in Ji Tiantian's dance school's professional ballet class were both from Teacher Zhang's interest class, and were "kidnapped" by Teacher Zhang, including Wang Hao, Ji Tiantian's dance partner in the dance class. Ji Tiantian's head teacher, Teacher Shen, and the principal of the dance school have always taken care of Ji Tiantian to the best of their ability, and this is a way to express their gratitude to Teacher Zhang for his unremitting efforts in providing talents for the dance school.
"I'm telling you, Ji Tiantian, you must find a husband with beautiful insteps." Zhang Lilian said half-jokingly at home more than once, "I'm still waiting to see my grandchildren dance."
Ji Tiantian came back to her senses and saw that Tang Yi had taken off his slippers neatly and stretched out his instep to show Zhang Lilian.
"Oh, that's great." Zhang Lilian praised sincerely, "Better than many professional dancers I've seen!"
"Mom, he's a national ice dancer. He has basic ballet training." Ji Tiantian explained.
"Oh," Zhang Lilian nodded, looking at Tang Yi with some emotion, "but it's a pity to hide such a beautiful instep in the ice skates."
"It's enough if people who know the business can see it." Tang Yi smiled at Zhang Lilian.
"Ah, you're so good at talking." Zhang Lilian looked at Tang Yi eagerly, "Are you really from the national team, not a substitute or something?"
"He is official and very powerful." Ji Tiantian said.
"What a pity, otherwise I would have kidnapped you and taken you to the dance class no matter what."
"Mom!" Ji Tiantian didn't know what to say, so she just shouted.
"Then I'll go find Lao Xu first." Tang Yi looked at Ji Tiantian, "Contact us by phone."
Then he walked to the entrance to change his shoes, "Goodbye, Auntie."
"Yeah, bye, come and play next time." Zhang Lilian smiled as she watched Tang Yi go downstairs, then she turned around and closed the door, then put away her smile and looked at Ji Tiantian, "Ji Tiantian, you are really good, you are better than your teacher. At most, I let people take off their shoes to see, but you don't even leave your clothes for people."
"Mom!" Ji Tiantian's face turned red and she spoke anxiously, "I really just checked his body! And it was actually a misunderstanding... I didn't do anything to him."
"Okay, okay, Mom believes you." Although Zhang Lilian didn't know what had just happened, she still trusted her good daughter and knew that she would not do anything out of line.
Zhang Lilian sorted out the vegetables she had just bought and handed Ji Tiantian a bunch of green grapes. "Go help mom wash the grapes."
"Where's Dad?" Ji Tiantian asked while working in the kitchen.
"Halfway through watching a movie, a colleague suddenly called and said that he couldn't go to class due to something and asked him to substitute. What bad luck." Zhang Lilian said "tsk", turned around and suddenly saw a brand new box of Longjing tea.
"Tiantian, where did this tea come from?"
"Tang Yi gave it to me!" Ji Tiantian poked her head out of the kitchen. "He's too polite. You...you don't have to worry about it."
"This brand is not cheap," Zhang Lilian picked up the tea box and looked at it, then asked Ji Tiantian, "What on earth is he doing here?"
"He asked me to go to the National Figure Skating Championships with him." Ji Tiantian lowered her head and couldn't help but smile.
She only started to practice ice dancing in April, and now it is June, almost two months later, and she is about to set off for the national competition.
"Why did the national team ask you to compete?" Zhang Lilian was a little confused.
"He just left his previous dance partner and has no partner. Let's just work together temporarily, and he will find a more suitable partner in the future." Ji Tiantian frowned, thinking, "That is to say, after a long-term relationship fails, people often turn to short-term relationships."
Zhang Lilian: “…Ah?”
Ji Tiantian: "Nothing, Mom. Anyway, let's cooperate temporarily. Use each other."
"No matter how I think about it, I feel that you are the one who is taking advantage. We should return the favor seriously." Zhang Lilian put down the tea box and said, "What is the Figure Skating Championships?"
"It's a national figure skating competition, which is quite influential. The winners will receive more training, join the national team, and enter the world competition." Ji Tiantian thought for a moment, "You can think of it as the Taoli Cup in our dance world. But there are very few people who participate, especially in ice dancing. Before participating, there will be a small selection."
"That's not easy, is it?" Zhang Lilian asked.
"Yes. We have to compete in short dance and free dance, which includes pattern dance, step sequence, twist step, lift and other difficult movements." Ji Tiantian answered seriously, "I have also been practicing step sequence and rotation under the guidance of Coach Ma recently... I feel like I am slowly becoming familiar with it."
She had only been involved in ice dancing for a short time, and was heading to the National Championships with the intention of joining in the fun. She would prepare seriously next year.
But Tang Yi appeared and asked her to be his dance partner. He was like a catalyst, causing her to move forward at a rapid speed.
It's okay to join in the fun with others, but with Tang Yi, you have to get a good score no matter what.
She had to work harder. She had to fight for her dream and her ex-husband.
"Mom, the grapes are washed. I'll go out first." Ji Tiantian wiped her hands, ran out, hugged Zhang Lilian's neck and cuddled with her mother.
"What are you going to do?"
“Let’s go ice skating!”
Ji Tiantian put on her ice skates and jumped down the stairs with brisk steps.
The author has something to say:
Speaking of ice dancers, apart from the top ones,
I personally want to recommend Chock/Bates, a pair of American athletes. They made a terrible mistake in the 2018 Winter Olympics. The girl and the boy fell together. After the end, the girl cried bitterly, which was very heartbreaking. But later they rose strongly. The free snake dance in 2020 was very shocking. The girl is of Asian descent, very beautiful and kind.
I also want to recommend a set of ice dance - Maria Kazakova & Gy Reviya's "In the End" (2020 World Youth Championship version). The great thing about this program is that it doesn't use technical movements to pile up when entering the climax, but uses dance steps to achieve a very shocking effect. I have watched it many times~
