Mu Huan and Li Xin teamed up with passers-by with unexpectedly high expectations. There were even various news on the Internet that day, and similar posts on the forums of several major figure skating websites were all popular.
[Looking forward to a strong combination!]
[What? My male god and male god are finally getting together?]
[Aww! ! There is hope for our pair skating again! !]
Both Mu Huan and Li Xin are very strong in single skating, and the age difference between the two is not too big. When Mu Huan entered the national team, netizens picked out a bunch of Omega , photos, strength, and experience are all there.
Among them, "Sunrise Combination" is the most popular.
Mu Huan's Huan means light, while Li Xin means the sun is about to rise at dawn, and the name is a perfect fit.
Not to mention the strength shown by these two in the youth group, once made the "ice fans" have the expectation of the Chinese National Congress for a complete rise in pair skating.
Someone once left a message: I will save 10 yuan every day from now on, just to go to the scene to smell their fragrance, watch them stand on the podium and raise the national flag.
On that highly anticipated day, even a person like Li Xin who only cares about grades once gave birth to longing for the future.
After a year, the news that Mu Huan and Li Xin formed a team broke out on the Internet, and some "ice fans" wept with joy.
[Woooooo~ Although my dream will be late, it will definitely not be missed. The money I have saved for three years can finally be used! !]
However, amidst the expectations, there were also some discordant voices.
[It's just two bereaved dogs huddling together to keep warm. The pheromones of the two are smelly together. Besides the two of them, who else can they team up with?]
[Wait, isn't the most anticipated part of pair skating the smell of pheromones on the spot? What's the point of just being dry?]
[I won't spend money to see this kind of combination. No wonder I want to skate professionally, and I know that my pair skating tickets can't be sold, right?]
Generally speaking, the "ice fans" who are purely technical are full of expectations for the appearance of the new combination, while the "ice fans" who mainly appreciate it scoff at the appearance of this pair.
In addition, Mr. Xiong's attitude towards this is rather confusing.
Yin Ge resigned, but he didn't speak.
Mu Huan and Li Xin teamed up together and he didn't speak.
Like an old man fishing, watching everything, sitting firmly on the fishing platform.
Mu Huan is very clear that this matter is not completely over yet, and the bet between Mr. Xiong and Yu Yiman is still going on. No matter whether he is paired with Li Xin or Yin Ge, on the day when the training team ends, if his performance is satisfactory If he doesn't get Mr. Xiong's approval, he will be expelled from the national team.
The nerves in his head were still tense, not only didn't relax at all, but tightened twice more.
After Wen Chun found Mu Huan to warn him, Li Xin was brought in front of Mu Huan during the training that afternoon.
Wen Chun pushed Li Xin in front of Yu Yiman, and said solemnly like marrying a son: "Come on, work hard, and no one will look down on you. If you can't, it's because they are not good enough. You have to be strong at any time." Confidence, if they still bully you like this, just come to me, and I will vent your anger for you!"
Yu Yiman's eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets, "You are an actor!"
Wen Chun just sighed, looked at Mu Huan worriedly, and reminded: "I've told you everything I need to say, don't get emotionally involved with this guy, career is the most important thing, if you talk to him, it's you When your career goes down the drain.”
Yu Yiman was so angry that his ponytail stood up: "What's wrong with us, Mu Huan! He's so handsome and capable, is it our fault for being liked?"
Wen Chun sneered: "Did I say that Li Xin likes him? Maybe he liked Li Xin first. I'm just reminding Li Xin, understand?"
Yu Yiman waved his hands angrily: "Demolish! Demolish! Demolish now!"
Of course, this is just an angry remark, Mu Huan doesn't want Yin Ge who matches the pheromone, but only Li Xin, the matter is a foregone conclusion.
People are gone, what else can I do.
Although Yu Yiman didn't like Mu Huan's choice, he understood him.
In the world of pair skating, AO must be equal, no one will slow down and wait for another person, only holding hands and running together, the sea and the sky are ahead.
From a professional point of view, Mu Huan and Li Xin did have a tacit understanding that even Yu Yiman had never seen before.
It is also this kind of tacit understanding that is stronger than Xuanyuan Huayun's combination, which changed Yu Yiman's original intention and made her let go of Yin Ge, who was found after thousands of choices.
These two people quietly endowed Yu Yiman with an ambition to become the coach of the world's pair skating champion.
"Okay, okay, I'll pick you up, don't act anymore, your brain power is better than your coach's ability." After speaking, Yu Yiman raised his chin, "Come with me, let's go to the ice today."
Under the gaze of the training team members, Mu Huan and Li Xin left together.
There was naturally jealousy in those eyes, but it was more of a look of expectation for them.
Huaguo's pair skating is not weak, because of Xuanyuan Huayun's group, so it can occasionally win the third medal in the World Championships, but it is not strong, because Huaguo's pair skating has never won a gold medal in a world-class competition one time.
The current strongest pair in the world is the E-country group with pure technology. Even if their pheromones are not bad after fusion, they never secrete pheromones in the game, and they rely entirely on high-scoring actions to win.
At the craziest moment, the pair from country E won the world championship with a score of 28 points higher than that of the second place.
"Both take the technical route, do you think it is possible for Mu Huan and Li Xin to surpass Andreev and Nikita?"
"Are you kidding me? Is Nikita an Omega? He can do all the quadruple turns, and he can also jump 5T. The lower limit of the pair skating score depends on the Omega, don't you know?" Wang Qinghua said sourly. Yin Ge's jealousy was passed on to Li Xin again, and he completely forgot that he had flattered Li Xin in order to bury Yin Ge.
The companion beside him pursed his lips, trying hard to hide his disgusted gaze, but he didn't want to talk to Wang Qinghua any more.
But another companion beside him said: "People who are single-minded will always go further than those who are half-hearted. Without the restriction of pheromones, they don't have to think about becoming stars in commercial performances. There will definitely be more breakthroughs in technology." .”
"I think so too. It's pretty good. I'm optimistic about them."
Wang Qinghua twisted his mouth when he heard the excitement of those two people talking.
here.
Mu Huan was finally taken by Yu Yiman to a training ground almost exclusively for pair skaters.
The B1 training ground is the second only to the training ground of the main ice rink.
The shape and size of the training ground is exactly the same as that of the main ice rink. It is an international standard training ground, and there are five rows of small stands. During the competition, it can be used as an auxiliary venue for competitions and warm-ups. The quality of the ice surface is naturally excellent. .
As a world-class popular event, pair skating enjoys unique treatment, and the athletes are naturally carefully selected.
Lifting the curtain and entering the training ground, there are six people training on the ice. They were either in pairs, or practicing individually, but when they saw them appear, they seemed to have already received the news, so they all stopped and slid towards them.
Mu Huan stared and saw that Alpha, the strongest male in appearance, was skating in the front. After wearing skate shoes, he was two meters tall, with thick and broad shoulders, and the black tights he was wearing stretched out his swollen muscles.
His name is Zhuangshang, and everyone in the team calls him "Brother Zhuang" because the bull is as big as a bull.
Two meters away from him, a female Omega who slid over next to him was only as tall as his shoulders, her hair was combed high, and her name was Ning Lu. But everyone called her "Sister-in-law Zhuang", because of this nickname, she was scolded by Ning Lu countless times, until everyone got used to it, Ning Lu took her anger out on Brother Zhuang.
Brother Zhuang loves his daughter-in-law, he can't fight back when he hits or scolds, and he has a good temper like an old scalper.
Brother Zhuang and sister-in-law Zhuang were the last pair of professional athletes in Huaguo. They showed their brilliance in their teenage years and won the domestic single skating championship. Then they were recruited by the national team. His best result was the third place in the Youth Olympic Games fourteen years ago.
It was once highly anticipated by the people of the whole country, hoping that they can shine after entering the adult group.
However, contrary to expectations, the team that entered the adult group did not continue to improve as everyone expected. Now it is ranked in the 60s and 70s in the world, and it belongs to the bottom of the Yiman team. It is also a failed attempt by the country on the professional route.
Mu Huan also knew the specific reason.
It was during this decade that the grading metrics for pairs skating have been changing, from including pheromones in the scoring scale at the beginning, to stripping pheromones completely and only considering technical skills.
The older pair of strong brothers and strong sisters-in-law is the victim of the change in standards. Their contemporaries, as well as the younger pair skaters, all retired sadly, and only they stayed here to continue their careers.
But don’t look at them like this, they are the first pair of pheromone skating performers in Huaguo. When Li Xin was six years old, they held Huaguo’s first pheromone commercial performance. They are pioneers and pioneers , was Mu Huan's childhood idol, and it was because of them that Li Xin had the dream of skating as a couple.
In a way, it is precisely because of Brother Zhuang and Sister-in-law Zhuang that Li Xin has the support of his mother and can learn figure skating.
They are a symbol of an era.
The aroma of their pheromones is very strong sweet-scented osmanthus, which is very impactful for Betas who are not sensitive to pheromones.
Today, both of them are approaching forty years old, and they are still struggling in the front line. The price of commercial performances is also not bad, and can be stabilized at around 200,000 per show.
They are the first pair of lifetime professional figure skaters in China.
The pair that slid over later was also a combination of male A and female O.
Qiao Yu is thin and not too tall, but her figure skating skills are the best among these three combinations, and she was also a very strong single A player four years ago.
Seven years ago, the pheromone score of pair skating was only reduced, but not completely stripped. At that time, the national team used Qiao Yu's pheromone as the basis to assign him his "destiny" Xiaoyu.
This is exactly the same as Mu Huan's situation.
Qiao Yu's pheromone also has an earthy smell with a bit of a fishy smell, while Xiao Yu's pheromone, as its name suggests, is the smell of wet rainwater. After fused with Qiao Yu's pheromone, they amplify each other. The fairy combination called "the soil after the rain".
It also caused heated discussions in the world skating circle for a time, and the two won the eighth place in the world in the adult group.
But the good times didn't last long.
The following year, the pheromone score was dropped.
Xiaoyu's weakness in figure skating was also exposed.
The ranking of their duo plummeted, dropping to just outside the fifties.
Now they, like brother Zhuang and sister-in-law Zhuang, stay in the team as substitutes. Apart from participating in competitions, they are more often present as supporting guests in Xuanyuan Huayun's commercial performances, generating income for Huaguo's sports industry.
As for their professional achievements, no one thinks about it anymore.
Therefore, the real trump card in Yu Yiman's hand is the pair of female AO.
Mu Huan's eyes fell on the last pair of Erbi people.
The two were training separately before, and then the female Alpha with her hair skating across the entire ice rink, went to pick up another Omega.
The two held hands and pushed the ice under their feet. Their swaying bodies were like musical notes, with a wonderful sense of rhythm.
Alpha Xuanyuan Huayun, the woman on the left wearing a blue tights, is the "No. 1 figure" of the national figure skating team. She has a similar height and aura to Yu Yiman.
Her partner is Liu Jing, who looks like an ordinary Omega, but the smell of pheromone is extremely beautiful, like a hibiscus blooming after rain, and there is a quiet and elegant atmosphere in the strong fragrance.
When the two are emotionally skating, the pheromones blend together, allowing the audience to concentrate while enjoying the dance on the ice.
It is the "Water Hibiscus Fragrance" listed in the world's top 100 exotic fragrances by the "World Fragrance Association".
Many betas hope to watch Xuanyuan Huayun and Liu Jing's live figure skating when they are about to face some important things such as college entrance examinations, job applications, competitions, etc. It is said that it really has the effect of soothing people's emotions.
This pair of "Water Lotus Fragrance" no longer charges commercial fees for their commercial skating, but cooperates with the organizer to share the bills. It is said that each time the income is tens of millions.
It can be said that just this couple has supported one-third of the sports industry in Huaguo.
Moreover, before Liu Jing was skating in pairs, she was also an O single athlete in the national team, and her upper limit directly determined their lower limit in pair skating.
It also made their professional performance very good, and once won the third place in the world.
It can be said that they are the pride of the national team and Yu Yiman's proudest arrangement.
First find excellent AO athletes, then match their pheromones, and then carry out professional training, so that Huaguo's pair skating can really stand firm in the world arena.
If it wasn't for the pride and conceit of "Mu Huan" who couldn't accept the smell of his pheromones, and wasn't persistent enough, and just wanted to skate business, maybe his pheromones had already been tested with the Omega of the national team, even if he couldn't find it. Even someone like Yin Ge can somewhat cover up his pheromone smell.
Now, a year has passed, until "Mu Huan" died, Mu Huan arrived, and the derailed train finally got back on track. After all, Mu Huan was still combined with the national team's Omega.
Regardless of pheromones, only strength and tacit understanding.
This time, both Yu Yiman and the national team have gone to the extreme, combining the two most powerful and pheromone-smelling people together, completely giving up business, as long as results!
"You're finally here."
Obviously Xuanyuan Huayun was the last to arrive, but she was the first to speak.
Alpha, a female with curly hair, was a little taller than Mu Huan on skates, looked at him coldly, and said, "I knew you were an idiot, you never used your brain to do things, and now you come back by hitting yourself in the face, hehehe Hehe, is it fun? Hey, Jingjing, I said this idiot is coming back, right? Look, what am I talking about? He's back!"
Liu Jing looked at the woman dancing beside her. She had a high-class face, but she had a low-level personality. She took it as funny and rolled her eyes in disgust.
"Don't talk to him." Liu Jing pushed Xuanyuan Huayun aside, stood at the front, looked at Li Xin and Mu Huan, and said with a smile: "I've been looking forward to it for a few days, curious and excited, everyone for so many years It’s really good to be a teammate now as a senior brother.”
Xuanyuan Huayun slid back again: "Mu Xiaohuan, does your face hurt? Don't hurt me to slap you twice, I promise to make you feel the happiness in my heart now."
Liu Jing raised her hand angrily, slapped Xuanyuan Huayun out, and then looked at Li Xin and smiled.
This smile is very quiet, but also very enthusiastic. It is obviously contradictory, but it makes people feel the happiness from her heart.
So Li Xin also laughed.
Liu Jing stretched out her hand, Li Xin stepped forward and hugged her through the guardrail.
The two whispered softly, Li Xin nodded while listening, her eyes were slightly red.
Seeing this scene, Yu Yiman felt very warm, and patted Mu Huan's arm and said, "We are all acquaintances, and there is nothing to introduce. This time, I will be more cruel when I come back this time. Don't let me feel cold, and don't let your senior brothers and sisters know each other." disappointment."
Brother Zhuang nodded honestly.
Zhuang's sister-in-law put her arms around Brother Zhuang's arm and smiled cheerfully.
Qiao Yu said: "If you don't come back, Yu Jiao will be moaning all day long. You need to know who treats you sincerely."
Xiao Yu said: "And we have been waiting for you."
Xuanyuan Huayun who came back from a circle said: "I'm disappointed, why did you come back after being disappointed?"
Liu Jing, who was talking with Li Xin in her arms, was so angry that she turned around and pushed Xuanyuan Huayun, with a look of disgust on her face: "Go, go, no one will treat you as a dumb person when you talk, go away!"
Mu Huan couldn't help laughing at the six most glorious members of the national team, Xuanyuan Huayun, who was talked about, envied and regarded as a legend.
The sculptor does not respect the clay Bodhisattva, and no one knows who.
The first meeting ended after everyone discussed the dinner together in a few words.
Everyone was looking forward to seeing Mu Huan and Li Xin's partners, so after Yu Yiman said he started training, he went off the ice one after another, leaving the entire ice rink to the two of them.
Yu Yiman said: "For the first time on the ice, I don't have high requirements for you. You cooperate with all the basic steps. I will talk about the next step after I have seen it."
Xuanyuan Huayun lay on the guardrail and clapped her hands like a seal: "Come on, come on, my smile is a little low today, let me have a good time."
Yu Yiman glanced at Xuanyuan Huayun, Xuanyuan Huayun was still afraid of her coach, so she hurriedly shut up.
Mu Huan and Li Xin changed their shoes and went on the ice. After discussing at the entrance and exit, they slipped out.
Warm up on the first lap, familiarize yourself with the entire ice surface, just simply push and slide. The two slide forward from the exit all the way. Under deliberate control, the forward speed quickly becomes the same. Bing's strength naturally increased, and he remained on the outside side by side with Li Xin.
The speed is gradually increasing, Mu Huan and Li Xin can still guarantee the same speed, and the tacit understanding has already emerged.
Xiao Yu said: "It feels like a good match in all aspects."
Mrs. Zhuang nodded: "The strength of the male O is somewhat stronger than that of the female O, and Li Xin is the seed of O Dan. He has some advantages in terms of strength and speed."
Liu Jing said: "I just think the appearance is quite good. Everyone said that Mu Huansheng is good. Look carefully at Li Xin. When he is on the ice, his whole body is shining, and his momentum is not inferior to Mu Huan."
Mu Huan and Li Xin skated a lap on the ice, but they didn't stop. Instead, they skated directly on the straight line. Li Xin counted, "One, two, three."
As soon as the voice fell, Li Xin and Mu Huan could see Li Xin and Mu Huan "turning three times" at the same time. Their bodies were twisting, their arms were raised, and their single-footed skates were spinning on the ice.
Li Xin was in front and Mu Huan was behind. There was a distance of about 30 centimeters between the two of them. Their bodies leaned forward in an extremely standard way, and they swung out in a large semicircle to stretch their arms.
Li Xin's wingspan is a bit shorter than Mu Huan's, but the two stand together, like two birds flying together, spinning on the ice and sliding out gracefully.
The sequence of "Zhuan Three" + "Inner Blade Big One" is completed.
"Oh! Not bad!" Xuanyuan Huayun continued to applaud like a seal.
Xiao Yu was surprised: "The tacit understanding is good!"
Liu Jing was curious: "Isn't this the first time we cooperated?"
Mrs. Zhuang shook her head: "I don't believe it either."
Yu Yiman glanced at the ice marks left on the ice. From the step-by-step, the distance between the two of them was perfect, neither far nor close, which looked close to each other and left a distance for each other to make movements.
On this point, from Li Xin in the front and Mu Huan in the back, it can be seen that Mu Huan is controlling the distance. If it is a coincidence, it is nothing. If it is controlled deliberately, it will be surprising.
Mu Huan has been skating A singles all the time, so he should be good alone on the ice, when will he cooperate with others
After completing a continuous step, the two skated side by side for half a circle on the ice, increasing their speed and finding the synchronization rate again.
Li Xin shouted: "One, two, three."
I saw the two people rotate at the same time, "inside hook" followed by "outside hook", quickly completed a simple step sequence, and then connected to a "turn three", and directly entered the "Mohawk" after completion.
There are four steps in total, and the front and back time is two seconds.
The two finished it easily again.
Xuanyuan Huayun raised her eyebrows, and suddenly shouted: "Have you guys practiced this before? I'll come up with one, and I'll give you a grade, a small twirling jump, Choketa high leg, right foot twirl step. That's all , Just, just... Quiet, how many are there?"
Liu Jing rolled her eyes and got up, walked to her side, and said in a loud voice: "Try it, the simple steps can't be hard for you, go straight to the grade, twirl small jump, Chocta, raise your leg, turn your body, turn your right foot and twirl with one foot. Turn steps. Six movements, three rotations, don't turn and separate."
Qiao Yu also stood up at some point, imitating Xuanyuan Huayun's appearance and lying on the guardrail, and said with great interest: "Suddenly I am looking forward to and nervous."
Xuanyuan Huayun said: "Why are you nervous? If they can slide out, I'll show you the guardrail."
Qiao Yu said loudly: "Did you hear that? Hua Yun is going to eat the guardrail!"
Xiaoyu and Zhuang's sister-in-law rushed to the edge of the guardrail together and said, "Come on, come on! I will definitely watch Huayun eat the guardrail!"
Brother Zhuang who came up last laughed "hehehe".
Mu Huan and Li Xin looked at each other.
This connection is also one of the grading moves in singles skating. Naturally, they have been practicing on weekdays, and it is not difficult for them. It's just that there is one more person around now, but what they are looking at is the synchronization rate, which is difficult.
Mu Huan comforted Li Xin: "You skate at your own speed, and I will try my best to keep up."
Li Xin frowned: "You slip on your own, I will cooperate with you."
Mu Huan said firmly: "Trust me."
Li Xin lowered her eyes and thought for a while: "Okay, try it once."
Xuanyuan Huayun heard them discussing, and joked: "You guys must agree, please slide, I haven't tasted the taste of guardrails yet."
It was rare for Mu Huan to reply: "Then just wait."
"Yo Yo Yo Yo." Xuanyuan Huayun wiped the guardrail, "Come on, just wait."
