◎Then show me the results this season◎
"Hey." Xu Chi sighed deeply and turned to look at his former partner. "Jiang Lin, what do you want to say?"
"The two people from the American group just came to see us sweetly, looking like they had a clear conscience." Jiang Lin thought for a moment and said this.
Xu Chi looked at her for a while before speaking: "So you are also going to act on impulse?"
"I just thought that if it were you and me when we were young, we would definitely not be able to swallow this. The opponent has already danced in front of us." Jiang Lin glanced at Xu Chi who was lost in thought, and couldn't help but smile, "Okay, Old Xu, don't think about it, just let them compete. The situation is different. We don't have the talent of Tiantian and Tang Yi, and we can't come up with dance steps that will be copied by other groups of contestants."
"Look at them. If they don't agree with me, I don't agree with them," Xu Chi pointed at the team doctor and continued to talk to Jiang Lin with a frown, "but you, you don't support me, and you step on me and say I have no talent."
"I am telling the truth, am I not..."
"Okay, okay, stop arguing." The team doctor looked at the two coaches arguing and couldn't help but speak out to dissuade them.
Ji Tiantian pursed her lips and looked at Tang Yi with a smile. Tang Yi looked at her and also smiled faintly.
"Okay, let's go back to the hotel first. We'll decide whether to go to the second stop based on your recovery." Xu Chi waved his hand, ending the argument.
This probably means agreement.
"Thank you, Coach Xu." Ji Tiantian curved her eyes and thanked Xu Chi, then reached out to Tang Yi who was sitting on the seat, "Let me help you."
After all, he is her partner, so she needs to be taken care of a little.
"You can't help me." Tang Yi spoke softly.
"You look down on me?" Ji Tiantian puffed up her cheeks and looked at him, "I lifted you up once."
Tang Yi stopped refusing, holding her slender hand and standing up on one foot.
Ji Tiantian took advantage of the situation and put Tang Yi's arm on her shoulder, helping him walk forward. The others also left the lounge together.
Ji Tiantian suddenly realized that Tang Yi was really heavy.
Maybe it was because of his recent muscle gain, he was no longer the skinny and powerless boy. He would no longer be easily knocked away by her, nor would he be easily lifted up by her.
After supporting Tang Yi for a while, Ji Tiantian's forehead was covered with sweat.
"I can help Ni Chuan walk." Tang Yi glanced at Ji Tiantian who was trying her best, then lowered his eyes slightly with a gentle look.
Local medical staff said that a metal crutch would be delivered to the hotel later. Before that, he had to walk with the help of handrails and relatives and friends.
"Yes, Sister Tiantian, let me take over." Ni Chuan spoke from the side.
"It's okay, I... I'll help Tang Yi get in the car first." Ji Tiantian took a deep breath, then looked up at the parking lot sign.
Fortunately, the journey is not far.
During the competition, the hotel will send a bus to pick up the players. It is quite convenient and a blessing in disguise.
"What do you want to say about the competition results?" After walking together for a while, Tang Yi spoke, while carefully observing Ji Tiantian's expression, "Are you dissatisfied?"
"Tang Yi, who do you think I am?" Ji Tiantian exhaled softly, "Everyone has accidents. Fortunately, this is just a sub-race. Huh... I, I just hope that if I get hurt in the future, you will treat me the same way and don't be angry with me."
"I will never be mad at you."
Ji Tiantian was caught off guard and looked into Tang Yi's dark eyes, then hurriedly lowered her head and quickly walked the rest of the way.
The group took the bus back to the hotel. At the hotel entrance, the other three youth group contestants who had heard about the commotion were already waiting there.
Men's singles player Ning Huai, women's singles player Ye Yidong, and duo Gao Zhe and Yu Sha came up together to ask about the situation of Ji Tang and the others. Then Gao Zhe picked up Tang Yi and headed towards the elevator without saying a word.
"Slow down, don't hit Tang Yi's legs!" Yu Sha and everyone else hurriedly followed behind to provide protection.
Amidst the excitement, the first game of the new season came to an end.
In this sub-station, Ning Huai performed stably and won the second place, in women's singles, Ye Yido performed exceptionally well and won the second place, in pairs, Yu Sha and Gao Zhe performed normally and won the first place, and in ice dance, Ji Tang won the fourth place.
Although Ji Tiantian felt a little disappointed deep down because she didn't get a good ranking, with the encouragement of her teammates, the disappointment was instantly washed away by the warm emotions.
Anyway, the first game of the new season ended with all kinds of surprises, big and small. Not very good, but not very bad either.
There are still many challenges waiting for them ahead.
Ji Tiantian cheered up and went to the airport with Tang Yi, who was on crutches, and everyone else.
As they boarded the plane, the domestic figure skating forum also became lively.
Post subject: The ice dance results of the Latvian leg are out, woooooooo…
OP: Woohoo, the first stop is over, Tiantang got fourth place, woohoo.
1L: A new fan in the front row, please ask, isn’t fourth place bad? Why are you crying?
2L: Maybe the person above doesn't know. There are 7 Grand Prix races, including the Latvian Grand Prix. The top few places are decided in each race. So... the fourth place in a race is not the same as the fourth place in the World Youth Championship...
3L: Brother Tang had an accident and it was the first stop, so it’s understandable that his results weren’t very good, right?
4L: Well, I guess I won’t be able to go to the finals…
5L: What is the finals?
6L: Well, it's a pair of ice dancers. They usually choose two of the seven Grand Prix stations to participate in. Then the top six pairs will qualify for the finals. As for the ranking, it is expressed in the form of points. The first place in the station gets 15 points, the second place 13 points, the third place 11 points, the fourth place 9 points, and so on. The top six pairs of points from the two stations will go to the finals.
7L: Oh, I see. The seven stations have a total of 7 15 points and 7 13 points... So it seems that Tiantang, who has only 9 points, has little hope... TT
8L: Moreover, even if Brother Tang didn't have an accident this time, the situation they are facing is very grim. Let's call the combination with good technology the high T group, and the combination with program content and performance that can easily win the favor of the judges the high P group. The last World Youth Champions, the Goose Katerin group, can be regarded as high T and high P, and the runner-up Spanish group is more inclined to P, but it is also high T and high P. Our Tiantang is high T. Now there is the Canadian giant group, which can be regarded as high T, high P and T. Apart from these three strong enemies, the American disco group and the British group are not that strong, but they are likely to surpass through high P points. If Tiantang doesn't crush the technical part, her position this season will be unstable.
9L: TT, if you put it that way, it would be great for me, Da Tiantang, to be in the top six in the next World Youth Championship? No, wuwuwu.
10L: The ice dance situation was not optimistic to begin with... Hey, I just hope Brother Tang gets better soon.
11L: Wow wow wow me too, so sad TT
After returning home and taking a day off, Ji Tiantian returned to her previous life, running between the dance school and the ice rink.
Tang Yi cannot go to the ice rink due to physical reasons, but he goes to the gym from time to time to exercise his core and upper limb strength. Proper exercise can also help the body recover.
Without Tang Yi, Ji Tiantian practiced alone at the ice rink, familiarizing herself with the use of blades in pattern dance and the performance of free dance. There was still some gap between her and Tang Yi's skating skills, and she needed to spend time to make up for these gaps.
That day, she finished training and just got off the ice when she saw two familiar figures standing by her side. They were her best friend Chen Yusheng and her former dance partner Wang Hao.
Ji Tiantian stared at it for a while before she reacted.
"Why are you in the capital?" Ji Tiantian came forward, her voice full of surprise.
"We will come to the capital to study in the future!" Chen Yusheng hugged Ji Tiantian and said excitedly, "I didn't tell you in advance because you were busy preparing for the competition. I thought I would go to the capital directly to give you a surprise!"
Before Ji Tiantian could fully react, she heard Chen Yusheng talking in her ear.
Chen Yusheng's parents are doing Internet-related business recently, and they think this area has great development prospects. The most developed Internet area is still in the capital, so Chen's parents thought about it and decided to go to the capital to build up connections in this area. They wanted to keep Chen Yusheng in the south city, but Chen Yusheng said she wanted to go to the capital to study and find a job. Considering that the art field is also well developed in the capital, Chen's parents gave their daughter strong support. In the entire summer vacation of 2011, Chen Yusheng was busy preparing for the entrance examination to the dance school in the capital, and finally she was admitted.
Chen Yusheng was admitted to the Capital Music and Dance School, a private school. Although it is not as famous as the Capital Dance School, it is still a school in the capital. Capital schools have one thing in common, which is that it is difficult to get into. Chen Yusheng was able to get in and became one of the few transfer students. Ji Tiantian was naturally very happy for her.
"Do you really want to apply to the dance school in the capital?" Ji Tiantian held Chen Yusheng's hand and blinked gently, "Is it because of me?"
"What are you thinking about? Of course not." Chen Yusheng gently poked Ji Tiantian's forehead, "But it's not completely unrelated to you. I was just thinking that didn't we agree to set up a dance troupe together in the future? This dream should be easier to realize in the capital."
"Yes, it will definitely come true." Ji Tiantian smiled and shook Chen Yusheng's hand, then turned to look at Wang Hao, "What about Wang Hao? Is he here in the capital... for tourism?"
"No, he and I go to the same dance school!" Chen Yusheng said with a smile, "But he didn't get in through exams, he paid to get in." Private schools usually have a quota for students who pay to attend.
Ji Tiantian looked at Wang Hao blankly, and after a while she asked, "Wang Hao, why did you come to the capital to study? Did your parents have job changes?"
"I do." Wang Hao uttered three words neatly. Ji Tiantian thought so too, it's better not to meddle in the affairs of the rich young master.
"Well, anyway, you won't be alone from now on. If you have any problems, just come to me and Wang Hao. We will support you!" Chen Yusheng put his hands on his hips and puffed out his chest.
Ji Tiantian looked at Chen Yusheng and couldn't help but smile sweetly. When she first came here, the capital was a very strange city to her. But for various reasons, she felt that she was becoming more and more familiar with it.
"By the way, I heard that Tang Yi was injured. Is he okay now?" Chen Yusheng asked.
"Well, the team doctor said that he's recovered well, so he should be fine for the second race." Ji Tiantian paused, and suddenly had an idea, "Oh, right, do you want to accompany me to visit Tang Yi's house?"
"Okay, no problem! I also want to go and express my condolences to the national athletes!"
Although she wanted to take care of Tang Yi, Ji Tiantian rarely saw him since returning from Latvia. In other words, Tang Yi basically didn't need her help.
Tang Yi rarely came to the ice rink, so she went to the gym with Xu Chi, the team doctor, and the team's physical trainer to do some physical training. She would hear about Tang Yi's recent situation from these people from time to time.
Zhang Lilian often urged Ji Tiantian to visit Tang Yi's home. But on the one hand, she and Tang Yi both had schoolwork and training pressure, and on the other hand, she didn't know what to say to his house, so she kept putting it off.
Since my friends are here, we can go see Tang Yi together without worrying about a dull occasion.
Ji Tiantian made a plan in her mind, and then one weekend, she took a fruit basket and went to see Tang Yi with Chen Yusheng and Wang Hao.
Tang Yi and his mother Liu Hui live in a simple bungalow in the suburbs. The house is rented by Liu Hui, and Tang Yi is the only one staying in it recently. Liu Hui is out to look after the store as usual.
Ji Tiantian didn't know why, but she felt a little nervous standing outside Tang Yi's house. She adjusted the pink coat that Zhang Lilian forced on her, glanced at the fruit basket in her hand, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.
After a while, Tang Yi came over with a cane and opened the door.
"Brother Tang, long time no see!" Chen Yusheng smiled warmly at Tang Yi.
Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi fell silent at the same time. "Brother Tang" is the exclusive name for Tang Yi by Tiantian fans in the forum. It seems that Chen Yusheng has been surfing the Internet a lot recently.
Tang Yi was silent for a moment, then looked at Wang Hao again. Wang Hao looked at him expressionlessly, without any intention of greeting him.
Unlike what Ji Tiantian thought, the three of them looked at Tang Yi and it didn't seem to be that lively.
"Tang Yi, Chen Yusheng and Wang Hao will study in the capital from now on." Ji Tiantian spoke up and broke the silence first, "We can play together often in the future."
Tang Yi nodded slightly and stepped aside to let the three people in. He couldn't help but look at Ji Tiantian one more time.
Ji Tiantian was wearing pink and had two small bags on her head. Zhang Lilian's aesthetic taste has never changed. She likes to dress her daughter up as a pink and soft doll. Just looking at her like this, it is impossible to imagine how Ji Tiantian would dominate the ice.
The four of them together filled up the already small living room.
"Tang Yi, how have you been recently? Is there anything you need from me?" Ji Tiantian raised her little face and asked seriously.
Tang Yi was about to say no, but turned around and saw Wang Hao staring at him intently. He was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed at the fruit basket: "I want to eat apples."
"Okay, wait for me." After saying that, Ji Tiantian went to the kitchen to wash apples. After a while, she came out with four washed apples.
The atmosphere in the living room was a little subtle and too quiet.
"After eating the apples, we are all friends." Ji Tiantian placed the bright red apples in front of the three people, trying to liven up the atmosphere. "If you have time, you can play together. If you don't have time, you can also talk about your worries."
"That's right." Wang Hao was the first to speak. Wang Hao lowered his head, picked up the apple, and took a bite: "If you have any problems in the future, tell me. Don't trouble someone who can't even take care of himself."
Tang Yi paused after picking up the apple. He and Wang Hao stared at each other expressionlessly, and there seemed to be a crackling sound in the air.
Ji Tiantian stood aside, looking at Tang Yi and then at Wang Hao.
She remembered that when they left South City and headed for the capital, the atmosphere between the two people at the airport was not very good.
"Since everything is fine, let's do a set of papers." In the silence, Tang Yi suddenly spoke with a faint smile.
Then he turned around and took out three blank papers from his schoolbag and placed them in front of Wang Hao, Chen Yusheng and Ji Tiantian respectively.
Wang Hao and Ji Tiantian were stunned for a moment, and Chen Yusheng's eyes widened.
I didn’t hear Ji Tiantian mention that there was this segment when coming to see Tang Yi.
"Tiantian, you haven't done any exercises for a long time. Would you like some?" Tang Yi looked at Ji Tiantian with a smile, his tone more gentle than ever before.
Ji Tiantian silently picked up the test paper, still in a daze: "But, we are here to see you..."
“You can watch me while doing the questions.” Tang Yi looked at Wang Hao, his smile still gentle. “The competition in the capital is fierce, and there are many all-rounders. If you can’t do this kind of questions, it will be difficult for you to survive in the future. Taking care of others will probably be even more difficult.” He emphasized the last few words.
Wang Hao was silent for a moment, then picked up his pen and started writing the test paper.
Although the air was still quiet, Ji Tiantian felt that she vaguely heard the sound of a battle horn.
Chen Yusheng reacted, stood up immediately, and smiled at Tang Yi: "Sorry, I suddenly remembered that I haven't finished the homework assigned by the school. I'll leave first."
She packed her belongings and reached out a hand to pull Wang Hao, "Wang Hao, you haven't finished it either, come on!"
"I still have to do the test paper..."
"What kind of test paper is this!"
Chen Yusheng dragged Wang Hao by force, and the two of them left Tang Yi's house almost as if they were fleeing.
The friend left so quickly that Ji Tiantian didn’t have time to react before the door slammed shut.
Suddenly, only Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi were left. The air was silent.
Ji Tiantian slowly came back to her senses and looked at Tang Yi.
Tang Yi was sitting on a chair, biting an apple nonchalantly. He looked calm, with a smile hidden in his eyes. His handsome yet three-dimensional face was sunken in the shadows of the room, like a wizard who had succeeded in his trick.
Then Ji Tiantian felt the phone in her pocket vibrate. She opened it and saw a message from Chen Yusheng - Don't call me if you want to see Tang Yi in the future! If you call me again, we'll end our friendship!
Ji Tiantian twitched her lips and looked at Tang Yi: "Don't you like Wang Hao? But he is still a child, can you be more friendly to him?"
"cannot."
Tang Yi looked at the bright red apple in his hand and couldn't help but recall his past life. At that time, he was not married yet, and he took Oden to the theater where Ji Tiantian was performing to pick her up after work.
Then he saw Wang Hao coming towards him. Wang Hao was the main dancer in Ji Tiantian's dance troupe at that time.
"Tiantian will not be happy with you." At that time, Wang Hao stood in front of Tang Yi and spoke coldly.
At that moment, Tang Yi could feel the same aura from Wang Hao.
Humble, paranoid, and cautious. I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will expose the dark hole in my heart and scare the people I care about the most.
Tang Yi reached out and gently pressed his forehead, breaking free from his memories.
He turned around and found Ji Tiantian lying on the table, thinking hard.
"Are you doing the homework?" Tang Yi was a little surprised.
"You're right. I can look after you and do the questions at the same time." Ji Tiantian swung her legs and looked up at Tang Yi. "If you need me to do anything, just tell me. Even getting me a glass of water is fine."
Tang Yi looked at Ji Tiantian silently for a while, then said: "Has Lucas talked to you recently?" Based on his understanding of Lucas, Lucas should have had Ji Tiantian's contact information when he applied the cold compress.
"Yes, I ask about your situation occasionally." Ji Tiantian said.
"Is that all?" Tang Yi asked calmly.
"He must ask me out of courtesy, and asked if he could come to China to treat me to a meal next time. But now is the season, and it will take a long time for him to come." Ji Tiantian paused, suddenly a little confused, "But why does he always ask me? He can just ask you about your situation directly, right?"
"Yeah, why?"
Ji Tiantian looked up at Tang Yi, and Tang Yi also looked at her silently.
Ji Tiantian lowered her head silently.
"In his previous life, Lucas had a serious accident while skiing." Tang Yi took a big bite of the apple and continued, "He went skiing on an unattended snowy mountain and suffered multiple fractures. Even after he recovered, it still affected his skating and he eventually left the ice dance competition. Mia teamed up with a new partner, but her performance was no longer outstanding."
"This is too rebellious. No wonder you two are so close." Ji Tiantian stared at Tang Yi in a daze. "No wonder I had no impression of the wealthy group in my previous life... It turns out that they didn't slide down all the way."
"He had an accident after the World Youth Championship in March 2012." Tang Yi looked at Ji Tiantian and continued in a calm voice, "If you don't want him to have another accident, you can remind him."
"It's a bit difficult... After all, it hasn't happened yet." Ji Tian stood up and began to pace in the narrow living room. "Why don't you remind him yourself?"
"I can." Tang Yi looked at the apple in his hand, "But I want to give you the right to solve this matter."
In his previous life, he and Lucas were both enemies and friends. He could not bear to watch an excellent ice dancer retire at her peak due to an accident.
At the same time, he also knew that Lucas admired Ji Tiantian. It was the same in the last life, and it should be the same in this life.
He wanted to use this incident to see how she felt about Lucas.
"Skiing accident... skiing..." Ji Tiantian was still pacing, "Oh, I think I know how to solve this problem!"
"Really?" Tang Yi looked at her.
"Okay, just watch!" Ji Tiantian smiled and blinked, as if she had made up her mind to keep it mysterious.
"Okay then." Tang Yi thought about it and finally didn't ask any more questions. "Since you're here, just finish the remaining questions."
Ji Tiantian finished a set of papers at Tang Yi's house, listened to the explanation, and then left.
Tang Yi's private tutor always comes unexpectedly.
In mid-September, Tang Yi returned to the national team ice rink to practice with Ji Tiantian.
He has not fully recovered yet, so he cannot practice for long periods of time, nor can he do high-tech lifts. But his training intensity will gradually return to normal before the second leg of the race.
After one day of training, Ji Tiantian came out of the locker room and heard Xu Chi talking loudly with his leader. The expression on his face was more serious than ever before.
She couldn't help but stop.
Xu Chi was explaining to the leaders of the Sports Bureau that Tang Yi was injured and could not participate in the National Championships.
This year's Figure Skating Championships will be held in late September, earlier than other times. This year's championships will be held to select skaters for the National Winter Games in early 2012, so it is more grand than before.
The National Championships and the Winter Games are both top-notch events in the country and are particularly important to leaders.
When the leader heard Xu Chi say that Tang Yi could not go to the National Championships, he was very angry.
Ji Tiantian also understood the reason. To put it bluntly, it is difficult for a niche sport like ice dancing to gain fame in China when participating in competitions abroad. However, domestic competitions are different. They are more intuitive for Chinese people and can directly affect the performance of relevant leaders. If a participant gets a relatively good score in a sub-station, no one may care and there may not be any splash. However, if a participant gets a good score in the national championships, it may directly affect the performance of the leader.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that domestic competitions can more easily improve athletes and the domestic influence of the entire project.
Even though Ji Tang, who is the No. 1 in the youth group, no longer needs to compete for a place in the international competition at the National Championships, he still cannot easily miss the National Championships. Basically, domestic professional athletes will not easily miss the National Championships.
"Tang Yi is currently injured and hasn't recovered yet. The National Championships are too close, so he really can't go." Xu Chi lowered his voice and explained to his leader, "But the second leg of the sub-race is something that both children really want to go to, and it's later in the schedule. After thinking about it, I still think I should go..."
"Old Xu, you should know after so many years that the National Championships is our top priority. How can you go to the sub-station competition instead of the National Championships? What's the sub-station competition for the youth group? How many people care about it? Can't you tell which is more important?" The leader's extremely loud rebuke came from the phone, which made Ji Tiantian's eardrums hurt.
"I understand, but it's mainly because Tang Yi is in the recovery period now. As for the sub-station competition, the temporary cancellation might affect the reputation of the two children in international competitions. Besides, it's later in time, so it's no problem for him to recover a little more..." Xu Chi spoke softly.
"Which athlete doesn't get injured? And how serious can an ice dancer's injury be?" The leader's cold voice came from the other end of the phone, "Have you thought it through? Do you really not want to come to the National Championships?"
"Yes, I really can't. Tang Yi has been injured for a long time. If he doesn't recover well and something unexpected happens during the game, his future career will be affected..."
"Since you have such an idea, then show some results this season." The leader's angry voice came from the other end of the phone, "I won't talk about the sub-station competitions. If you don't get the top three in the World Youth Championship, you can lead others!"
