Chapter 82 Happy World Group
He Hui's strong victory in the Shanghai World Championships brought an up-and-down season to an end with another high point.
He Hui received the highest level of welcome gift when he returned to the national team, and the leaders were particularly satisfied.
This World Championships not only saw breakthroughs in the women's singles event, but the national team also performed well across the board and received very good public opinion.
The doubles event performed well as usual, with two people taking the podium. Shang Yuqing/Yu Feiguang won the championship, and Zhu Qingxue/Yu Lang won a bronze medal.
As for the men's singles event, the Chinese team also made a breakthrough. Bian Jing kept his footing despite his opponent's poor performance and won a precious bronze medal.
Some of the national team’s peripheral gifts also sold particularly well because of the Shanghai World Championships, and the team gained both fame and fortune.
Bian Jing excitedly showed his bronze medal to He Hui: "He Hui, I'm actually on the stage!"
"Yeah, it's pretty good." He Hui blinked, "But you've already shown it to me at the venue and on the plane back. This is the third time."
"I'm happy." Bian Jing smiled awkwardly, then slapped his head fiercely, "By the way, next month we can fight side by side in Japan! I can learn from you openly again!"
"Fighting side by side?" He Hui thought, doesn't the season always end with the World Championships in March?
"Have you forgotten that there is also the World Team Championship this year?" Bian Jing reminded.
"Um."
He Hui suddenly remembered that this season is an odd-numbered year, and there is an additional World Team Championship in recent years.
Of course, in the eyes of some players, the World Team Championships is not really a "serious" competition. Compared to a competition where everyone competes seriously for gold and silver medals, it is more like a year-end team building event.
As the saying goes, there is a lot of joy in the World Team Championships.
He Hui took a deep look at classmate Bian Jing in front of her, and her eyelids twitched. She had a hunch that with this prominent figure, the competition would be "exciting".
"In short, He Hui, don't worry, I will definitely give you the greatest show and let everyone cheer for you together!" Bian Jing had a dreamy look on his face and gave He Hui a firm look.
He Hui: "Uh... not necessary?"
She thought, if you were the one who arranged the grand ceremony, it would probably be a little scary.
"No need to thank me!" Bian Jing didn't hear He Hui's refusal at all, and the smile on his face didn't diminish at all.
On the other side, Tang Meng, who was dancing ice dance, was so happy that she danced with joy about being able to fight side by side with He Hui again.
Tang Meng and He Hui hit it off at the Sochi Winter Olympics. To be more precise, Tang Meng had an extraordinary admiration for He Hui.
"Huihui, I'm so looking forward to it! I'll cheer for you too!" Tang Meng glanced at Bian Jing and curled his lips, "It will definitely be bigger than Bian Jing's."
"That... is really not necessary."
He Hui felt like he wanted to escape, but he couldn't!
It happened that Tan Ling overheard the conversation between the few people and found it interesting, so she wanted to join in.
"Then add me to the cheering team!"
He Hui slowly closed his eyes: "......"

In mid-April, the last stop of the figure skating season kicked off in Tokyo, Japan.
In addition to China, the other five participating countries are host Japan, old rivals Russia, the United States and Canada, as well as Italy, which has emerged in recent seasons.
The slogan Japan used for the World Team Championship is called "Battle of the World's Strongest Six Nations", which is a bit childish, but when Bian Jing saw it, he liked it so much that he wanted to stick the poster on the head of his bed.
In this regard, Tang Meng's comment is: "The psychological age is no more than ten years old."
He Hui smiled and said, "Is he older than the three-year-old in the Winter Olympics?"
Tang Meng raised his eyelids: "Haha, forget it, let's not talk about childish things."
Each country has eight places in the World Team Championships, two for men's singles and two for women's singles, and one each for ice dancing and pairs skating. Tan Ling and Sun Hongfang are participating in the team competition for the first time, while the rest of the team members are old friends from the Winter Olympics.
Before the game, the atmosphere of the Chinese team was harmonious, and everyone discussed in groups what to wear for the game. Bian Jing even used up a whole suitcase to bring all kinds of clothes.
The first day of competition saw the ice dance rhythmic dance, followed by the short programs for the women's and men's singles.
When the camera swept across the Chinese team's seats, the director couldn't help but cut to several close-ups.
Bian Jing had a Chinese flag sticker on his face, a big red Afro headgear on his head, and a big red banner in his hand, with white letters on a red background that read "Warmly congratulate Tang Meng/Li Zishi for their success again!"
Bian Jing held one end and put the other end into the hands of his male partner Yu Feiguang. Yu Feiguang was a quiet person who usually would not refuse anything he was asked to do.
He Hui looked at this high-profile cheering scene and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Is this... the same model sold at the mall opening?" She really wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide in.
Come on, this is totally inconsistent with her identity as the eldest daughter of the He family, right? !
"This banner is not only applicable to the opening of a shopping mall, but also has a wide range of uses. He Hui, please don't be prejudiced." Bian Jing retorted, "Or do you actually want to hold it for Tang Meng yourself?"
"I brought a poster." He Hui took out the exquisite poster that he had squeezed Lu Xing to make a while ago and showed it to Bian Jing.
"Wow, this is so beautiful, isn't it?" Tan Ling's eyes lit up, "Do you have mine?"
"Yes." He Hui nodded and winked at her mischievously, "I'll give you a surprise later."
Tang Meng/Li Zishi were the second group to appear. The support from the first group of Japanese players was very strong, but the score was not ideal. The score of less than 50 caused the home team to fall into a brief silence.
Before going on stage, Tang Meng set a very clear goal, which was to make sure he surpassed one pair first. If he could surpass two pairs, he would make a profit.
Tang Meng and Li Zishi looked at each other on the court, nodded at the same time, held hands, and danced gracefully to the sound of music.
He Hui rarely watches ice dance competitions, but every time she does, she can't help but be attracted by the rhythm on the field. Even the Li Meng combination, which was the last few among the six groups of contestants, has a lot to learn from its silky steps and changes.
"Huh, it's finally over. Fortunately there were no mistakes." Tang Meng was quite satisfied with his performance.
He Hui nodded heavily: "You skate very well!"
"Hehe, He Hui, you're so nice." The distance between Tang Meng and the male companion next to her was far less than that between her and He Hui, which instantly broke the hearts of some of the group's CP fans.
In the end, the Tang Meng/Li Zishi combination scored 58.62 points, setting a new best record this season.
The following competitions were more exciting than the previous one, and each group of contestants performed various gorgeous and showy steps, which made He Hui take notes silently in his mind.
"You look so serious?" Tang Meng pouted. "Why do you look more serious than when you watched me compete? I'm jealous."
"When you step onto the podium, I will definitely look at you more carefully." He Hui patted Tang Meng's shoulder.
Tang Meng/Li Zishi ranked fifth among the six groups, with a gap of 5 points from the fourth-placed Italian player.
Tang Meng: "You really have high expectations of me..."
"Come on!" He Hui said earnestly.

The women's singles competition then began, with Tan Ling taking the lead.
He Hui took out a new poster from her bag. Judging from the style, it was from the same series as the previous one, but this time the person on it was replaced by Tan Ling.
When Bian Jing saw this, he felt inexplicably pressured and also changed the banner to a new one.
This time, it said: "Welcome back Tan Ling, this time I will take back everything that belongs to me!"
The expressions of the people nearby were very interesting when they saw this high-profile banner.
Netizens were almost dying of laughter at this scene, and the topic on Weibo #华国队显表包式迎支持# quickly became a hot topic.
"So funny, is He Hui's bag a treasure chest?"
"Isn't the funniest thing the side view of the wholesale banner? It's a bit tacky, but it's really eye-catching and is definitely the visual focus! And what the hell is this slogan? Bian Jing, are you using 5G internet?"
Tan Ling on the field originally wanted to say hello to the Chinese cheering group, but when she saw the banner in Bian Jing's hand, she stumbled and almost fell before the game started.
"I'm almost dying of laughter! Tan Ling simply can't bear such deep love."
"Bian Jing, you really are the one who makes me look forward to the banner behind you."
After all, Tan Ling was experienced, and after swaying a bit, he still managed to stand on the court.
This season, Tan Ling has reached a new level. The problem of using the blade has been almost solved miraculously, and the program content score has risen to a higher level.
It is true as Bian Jing’s banner said, Tan Ling is taking everything back.
The opening 3Lz+3T was clear and full of turns, and the following 3F was also beautiful. There was only one jump in the second half, and 2A was not difficult. Tan Ling even had enough time to do a tano.
I slid to the end of the song, just breathing slightly.
"64.01 points!" He Hui looked at the score on the screen, hugged Tan Ling, and congratulated her in her ear.
The others were much more exaggerated. They clapped their plastic hands loudly, waved small national flags in the wind, and blew small trumpets vigorously.
In short, the lineup is full.
Tan Ling was reserved at first, but now he joins if he can't beat them.
She turned to Bian Jing and asked, "What did you write on He Hui's banner?"
"Hehe." Bian Jing smiled mysteriously and opened the banner in his hand.
"Queen He Hui, create more glory!"
"So serious?" Tan Ling couldn't believe it.
"If I don't behave properly, I'm really afraid that He Hui will beat me on the spot." Bian Jing touched his head, as if he thought of He Hui's eyes like swords.
Tan Ling touched his chin and said, "That's right. She won't really hit you, but she might ignore you."
After all, having just witnessed two outrageous banners, He Hui was mentally prepared when he went on stage.
She took a deep breath, looked up, and was stunned.
It's actually quite normal?
He Hui smiled helplessly and shook his head, turning his attention back to the ice rink.
Currently ranked first is the rising star Russian player Valeria Belova, Japan's Eriko Sanada is in second place, and third is Diana Volkova, who has remained relatively stable since Sochi.
"Isn't the renewal speed of Russia's women's singles too fast?" Tang Meng was amazed.
Shang Yuqing nodded: "I feel that in all these years since their debut, except for Tours who is always green, all other contestants have fought tooth and nail for a place in the competition."
Actually, the only opponent He Hui had in mind was Tours.
Now that Tours has chosen to retire, He Hui’s only opponent is himself.
She glided on the court to the sound of the guqin "Drunkard", jumping from the ice, and breaking free from gravity again and again.
There was indeed no pressure in the World Team Championships, and He Hui skated extremely smoothly.
She rediscovered the feeling she had when she first got on the ice rink as a child, flying freely and just moving forward.
