Perhaps it was a flash in the pan, but Miki Shiraha's performance still left people wanting more.
"It's a shame. It's a rare opportunity to see such professionals skating."
Especially Yamamoto Daiki, he was filled with admiration.
As a fellow Hokkaido native, I was surprised to meet my childhood goddess in Tokyo. The feeling was hard to fade away.
"She is so beautiful, just like a fairy. How could she break her leg?"
Shiina Lan agreed very much and said regretfully.
Boys like to look at beautiful women, but girls are the same. Their looks, figures, and temperament are simply stunning.
It is especially touching to hear the story of this beautiful sister from Daiki Yamamoto.
"Figure skating is a relatively dangerous ice sport. When you play later, please be more careful and don't get hurt."
Just then, Kurosawa Mitsuru spoke up and interfered with the topic.
Ice skating is a sport that entertains the public. With just a little practice, you can skate freely and easily on the ice and enjoy a special time.
But figure skating is different. It is a way of skating that must be combined with dance and art for performance.
Whether it is jumping or the various movements combined with dance, they may be very entertaining to watch, but those are skills that can only be achieved by professionals after countless trainings and falling down countless times.
If you rashly try to perform various figure skating moves without practicing diligently, although it is usually not life-threatening, you will inevitably suffer injuries such as abrasions, sprains, and bumps.
"good."
Hearing his reminder, everyone responded, led by him.
Perhaps they did not witness the painful lesson with their own eyes, but through the story told by Daiki Yamamoto, the case of broken leg directly made people put aside their contemptuous attitude.
There is still a long time before the ice rink officially opens at 10 o'clock.
As the topic was forcibly skipped, everyone did not dwell on what happened before.
"I always feel that people who practice skating professionally are all very good-looking."
Shiina Lan looked at the field and saw a few people training, and couldn't help but sigh while leaning on the fence.
There is no music, just calm, silent and focused skating, with a fancy move from time to time, which is very pleasing to the eye.
Apart from that, they all look good. They can’t be called super beauties or handsome guys, but they can be considered good-looking.
"You have a complete impression of survivor bias."
When Zuo Teng heard such an exclamation, he immediately said.
“What is survivorship bias?”
Hearing this new word, Shiina Lan immediately asked.
"Well… "
Zuo Teng paused when he heard this. He saw this word yesterday when he was surfing the Internet.
Although he had read the explanation, he only took a rough look at it and understood its meaning. He wanted to explain it clearly, but he couldn't say it.
"Satou, did you see a new word and use it?"
Seeing his choking, everyone found it a little funny.
"Survivor bias refers to the extended logic of survival of the fittest. It means that you only see the winners and ignore the existence of the losers. It is a one-sided view."
Kurosawa Hikaru didn't laugh at the joke, but answered for him.
"One-sided view?"
"The professionals who come to train early in the morning are usually excellent and self-disciplined elites. You draw conclusions based on just the good looks of these few people, which is unfounded because they cannot represent all of figure skating."
"oh oh!"
After listening to his explanation, Shiina Lan felt that she had gained a lot and learned a lot.
"A top student is a top student. He knows a lot."
Qiu Yuekui couldn't help but marvel at his clear and logical explanation.
"Yamamoto, why are you quiet?"
Hinata saw this and teased.
Judging from the situation just now, Yamamoto should have been determined to fight Kurosawa to the end today, but why did he suddenly lose motivation
"I'm sending a message to my dad. If he knew that Shiraha Miki is still sticking to figure skating and will make a comeback soon, he would definitely be very happy."
Yamamoto Daiki was typing on his cell phone, responding without even looking up.
“Is uncle her fan?”
Realizing what he was doing, Matsushita Tong was a little surprised.
"My whole family are his fans. You may not know this, but when my dad saw the news about Miki's injury and retirement, he drank six bottles of soju in one go and cried at the end."
Yamamoto Daiki nodded and a happy smile appeared on his face when he talked about his father's embarrassing story.
"Yamamoto, please stop sending random messages."
Seeing his smirk, Kurosawa Hikaru spoke.
"What do you mean by sending random messages? I'm just reporting good news."
Yamamoto Daiki, who was typing, was speechless and disappointed when he heard this and glared at him.
"She herself hasn't said she's going to make a comeback. What if she doesn't? Wouldn't that mean you've made your dad happy for nothing? It's not good to give people hope and then let them down."
"How can it be a waste of joy? My dad would be very happy if he knew that she is still persisting in figure skating."
"If that's the case, why don't you just say that you saw she was still sticking to figure skating? There's no need to say she'll be back soon."
Although Kurosawa Hikaru didn't want to have anything to do with Miki Shiraha, he felt that it was not good to spread the news like this.
He didn't know much about junior sister Miki... He didn't know what her past was like, nor did he know how good her figure skating skills were. After all, his skating skills were still at the experience card stage, and he didn't have complete aesthetic and evaluation knowledge, so he could only see what kind of moves they were.
But there is one thing he is very clear about, that is, as a public figure, the last thing he wants is for passers-by to spread false information.
“That’s right.”
After hearing such advice, Yamamoto Daiki stared at Kurosawa Mitsuru, hesitated for a long time, nodded, and then modified the message.
"How famous is player Miki?"
At this time, Yuki Ichinose asked curiously.
She had never heard of this name before, but listening to Yamamoto's introduction was so moving that it was like the end of a legend.
"I can't really say how famous she is, but basically everyone my age in Hokkaido knows her. After all, she appears in newspapers and on the news every once in a while, and also on TV."
Yamamoto Daiki could not give a complete answer to this question, he just expressed his own impressions.
Figure skating is very popular in Japan, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a national sport.
There have been many outstanding figure skaters in Japan, and there have been many major competitions. The most important thing is that famous figure skaters can make money and have visible returns.
It’s just that no matter what field it is, it still belongs to a circle, the only difference is the size of the circle.
Things that are well known to people in the circle are usually unknown to people outside the circle.
The reason why Shiraha Miki is so popular in Hokkaido is not because of figure skating, but because she is from Hokkaido and has a stunning beauty that can astound everyone. Coupled with the honor of being a figure skating champion and the strong publicity from local TV stations, she is a household name.
"Just check it online and you'll know."
Shiina Ai is very familiar with this set of things. Since she is a public figure, she can be found on the Internet.
“Found it!”
She opened YouTube skillfully, entered the keyword of Miki Baiyu, and quickly found a video.
"Let me see."
Ichinose Yuki leaned over with some curiosity.
"Wow... she's so cute!"
Shiina Ai watched the video without hesitation. As the pictures on her phone changed, her left hand with manicured nails couldn't help but cover her mouth in amazement.
"How old is this?"
Ichinose Yuki leaned over to look at her, somewhat surprised.
“It looks so small…”
Sato was standing with his girlfriend, and because of his height advantage, he could see it even from the back.
"This is the real loli."
Qiu Yuekui also leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help but speak after just one glance.
Although Matsushita Tong is relatively small in stature and dresses more like a lolita, she is a cute type... but it must be said that Miki Shiraha in the video is the real lolita.
“This is a video of her playing when she was ten years old.”
Seeing that everyone was very interested, Daiki Yamamoto, as the Amway introducer, also leaned over to take a look and recognized it instantly.
"Do you know her so well?"
Matsushita Tong was also watching the video because Miki Shiraha was super cute in the video. She found out that her boyfriend knew the answer after just one look, and she couldn't help but feel jealous.
"Of course, I first met her through this video."
Yamamoto Daiki nodded proudly.
"… "
Seeing that he was quite proud, Song Xia Tong couldn't help but reach out and pinch his waist hard, secretly teaching him a lesson.
"Aren't you going to take a look?"
Hinata also went over to take a look, and then found Kurosawa Hikaru standing nearby. He had not moved from beginning to end, so he walked over and asked curiously.
People are animals who like to watch the fun, let alone this group of people.
"No."
Kurosawa Hikaru stood behind the fence, holding a pair of ice skates for tourists behind his back. He looked at the people still skating on the rink, looked back and shook his head.
"Don't like Loli?"
Hinata saw that his expression was calm, thought for a moment and then asked.
"Girls are gathered together, it's not good to run over there." Realizing that he was quite thoughtful, Kurosawa Mitsuru paused and explained.
"Hahaha, are you bothered by what Yamamoto said this morning?" Hinata laughed when she heard this explanation.
“A little.”
Seeing that he was finding excuses for himself, Kurosawa Hikaru just let it go.
He didn't want to watch the video, and the fundamental reason was that he didn't want to know more about Miki Baiyu.
When facing a bad person, the more you understand him, the more disappointed you will be.
When facing an outstanding person, the more you know him/her, the easier it is to be attracted to him/her.
Just like just now, when he learned that Miki Baiyu had broken her leg, just seeing her head turning unreasonably while jumping made him feel nervous and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Don't take it too seriously. You can probably tell that he's just jealous."
After receiving his affirmation, Hinata put his hand on his shoulder and patted it before advising him.
"If I don't pay attention, he'll be jealous today, but next time it could be you and Sato, and that won't be good for anyone."
Kurosawa Hikaru glanced at him and said.
In fact, even if Yamamoto didn't say a word, he would keep his distance from the girls.
Calling this thing like that was purely a helpless choice. After all, he had been absent and late for too long. If he wanted to integrate into this circle, he had to have some means.
"I don't think Satou and I would mind."
"Why?"
"Because we've seen your matches and know that you're really handsome, we really can't beat you... and everyone knows that Ichinose is your girlfriend. As long as you haven't broken up with her, I'm not worried that Aoi will have any thoughts about you."
"You trust her so much?"
Kurosawa Hikaru was a little surprised to find that he was very calm.
"Because I know her very well. If she knows you have a girlfriend, she will definitely not mess with you and will keep her distance from you because she is not the kind of person who will take advantage of you if she knows someone else."
Hinata nodded somewhat proudly when talking about this.
Maybe during their relationship, Aoi has a stronger personality and he is often scolded for his shortcomings, but he can feel firsthand that Aoi likes him.
"… "
Hearing this, Kurosawa Hikaru looked at him, then looked again at Aoi who was still watching the video with everyone, and nodded thoughtfully.
"When she saw me and Yuki-chan together just now, her first reaction was to get red eyes and want to cry. Is this the reason? Love that cannot be obtained."
He wasn't the type to take advantage of others, and Hinata's words really reminded him.
Ever since he revealed that he had a girlfriend, Miki Baiyu never sent him a message again.
Although I like him very much, I still keep my distance. Perhaps it is because of this awareness.
"That's fine."
Having found the answer by accident, Kurosawa Mitsuru felt a little relieved.
In fact, he was a little uneasy, not knowing when he had done anything to hurt her.
He knew that he was not a good person, but he was not a bad person either, so he did not like to hurt others, even if it was an unrelated passerby... let alone a girl like Miki Baiyu who liked him.
"Let's go and take a look together. We have nothing to do anyway."
Seeing his reaction of enlightenment, Hinata thought that her guidance was successful, and immediately pulled his arm and said.
"Actually, I didn't go to see it because Yuki-chan was still here, and it wouldn't be nice to look at other beauties in front of my girlfriend."
Kurosawa Mitsuru didn't want to spoil his fun with this invitation, so he just whispered it.
"OK."
Hinata was a little surprised to hear this, and then burst out laughing.
…
On the other side, Miki Shiraha quickly left the rink from the other side and went to the locker room with his friends.
Sitting on the bench in the locker room, Miki Baiha lowered his head and took off his skates.
"Bai Yu, are you going back so early today?"
There was another girl in the locker room, her name was Miki Nishikawa, who was opening the locker to get something. I was a little confused when I saw her lowering her head to change her shoes.
Normally, Bai Yu would come to the Gaien Skating Rink on weekends and holidays and play from 7 a.m. until the official closing time of 6 p.m. before leaving.
"Why are you crying? What happened just now?"
Confused, Miki Nishikawa noticed that Bai Yu had been keeping her head down, so she walked over and squatted in front of her to take a look. She was immediately shocked and hurriedly expressed her concern.
"fine."
Miki Baiyu lowered her head, her beautiful light blue eyes were watery, mist filled the corners of her eyes, turned into tears and left two tear marks on her pretty face, and she shook her head.
"What happened? Did someone bully you?"
When Miki Nishikawa saw her crying, her heart broke and she said hurriedly.
Although as friends, it would be very rude to completely forbid her to meet her boyfriend.
But this is because she knows better than anyone else the charm and strengths of Miki Shiraha.
In her opinion, any man who meets Miki Baiyu a few times will fall in love with someone else, even if he has a girlfriend... In order to avoid this from becoming the fuse of a quarrel between the two, she must be careful.
“No one bullies me.”
Although his vision was obscured by tears and the things he saw seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, Miki Baiyu did not stop taking off his shoes.
She has been practicing figure skating since she was a child, and she can put on ice skates even with her eyes closed.
Now, she just wants to leave this place as soon as possible... even though this is her favorite skating rink.
"No one is bullying you, so why are you crying... Bai Yu, what happened, can you tell me?"
Miki Nishikawa was really anxious and panicked. She grabbed her arm, stopping her from taking off her shoes and leaving, and asked in a gentle voice.
Because they had a competition soon, she was concentrating on training and couldn't pay attention to Bai Yu's situation the whole time, so she had no idea of the situation.
If she knew who bullied Bai Yu, she would definitely make that person regret it!
"I just failed in my Axel jump challenge and almost fell down again. I was scared."
Faced with her nervousness and worry, Miki Baiyu gradually came to his senses, hesitated for a few seconds and then lied.
Judging from how agitated she is now, she obviously won't let it go unless she is given an explanation.
"Did you fall? Let's go to the hospital."
Hearing this, Nishikawa Miki felt a chill in her heart and said hurriedly.
"No, but I almost did... But the repeated failures reminded me of the past and scared me."
Miki Baiyu noticed her concern, looked at her apologetically, and explained.
"So it's because of this... Then let's go back first."
Realizing that she was guilty of Ptsd, Nishikawa Miki stopped asking questions and went along with her wishes.
After suffering such a serious injury, Bai Yu was still willing to put on his ice skates and step onto the ice rink again. This showed how much courage and love he had put in, and we cannot ask for more.
"Thank you, Miki."
Miki Baiyu felt a little guilty after receiving her understanding.
"It's just a small thing. No need to thank me. Since I have to go back, I'll go get the camera first. Your SLR is quite expensive. I need to recycle it quickly."
Seeing her pitiful look, Miki Nishikawa shook her head and said.
"Thank you for your help."
Thinking of this, Miki Baiyu nodded.
She left in such a hurry just now that she forgot to take the SLR camera that was stationed on the sidelines to record the training situation.
After the matter was settled, Miki Nishikawa slowly walked out of the locker room, wearing ice skates with hard plastic protective covers, and went back to get her things.
"I hope it won't cause him any trouble."
Seeing her leave, Miki Baiyu recalled what happened just now and felt a little uneasy.
Originally, Senior Kurosawa disliked her and tried to avoid her as much as possible... If the fact that she was about to cry just now made Senior Kurosawa's girlfriend feel resentful and jealous, she would only hate her even more.
It's really painful to be hated by the person you like.
"Miki Baiyu, you are so useless..."
After thinking about it, Sanmu Baiyu looked at the bandage on his knee and felt a little annoyed and self-blaming.
I finally got to meet Senior Kurosawa once, but my eyes turned red as soon as we met... And when I tried to train 3A, I couldn't do it well and almost fell down.
At the same time, Miki Nishikawa walked towards the ice rink step by step.
Her steps were very slow. After all, she did not take off her ice skates. She just put hard plastic protective covers on the ice blades for walking outside the field.
It took some time for her to finally walk from the locker room to the ice rink.
"Fortunately it's still early, so there aren't many people around."
When she arrived at the ice rink, Miki Nishikawa breathed a sigh of relief when she saw a SLR camera fixed outside the rink, recording an area.
Bai Yu had saved up for a long time to buy this SLR camera. If it was stolen, he would suffer a huge loss.
"Recovery successful."
She walked closer and took down the SLR camera, folded the fixed bracket, and put the thing into the bag beside her, looking very happy.
After picking up a big bag, she straightened up and prepared to go back.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared from the corner of her eye, causing her to look involuntarily.
Across the ice rink, I saw a group of people gathered at the fence on the other side.
And among that group of people, there was one person whose presence was extremely strong.
His hair was as black as ink and his facial features were deep, handsome and handsome. He just stood in front of the fence and without any movement, he became the focus.
"Kurosawa-senpai?"
Miki Nishikawa looked at it a few more times and was suddenly surprised.
Hikaru Kurosawa, a sophomore at the University of Tokyo and a student of economics, is a well-known figure at the university.
Because shortly after the summer vacation, he represented the University of Tokyo in the Kyudo Competition and won the national championship.
It was just a championship in a competition, and it wasn't an academic competition, so he wasn't famous throughout the school. The key point was that his performance in the competition was so outstanding that it was widely circulated among the alumni of the University of Tokyo... especially among the girls.
She originally thought that she would have to wait until the end of summer vacation and the start of the new semester to see Senior Kurosawa, but she didn't expect to meet him in a place like this.
"Bai Yu was crying, could it be because she saw him?"
After the surprise, Miki Nishikawa's heart trembled, and she suddenly thought of a possibility.
As a student of the University of Tokyo, she has a very smart mind.
Although she believed what Bai Yu said, the appearance of senior Kurosawa made her think more.
You know, there is a story between Miki Shiraha and senior Kurosawa.
For example, Miki Shiraha was waiting for senior Kurosawa at the school gate, and the two went to a cafe together.
And on the first day of the Kyudo competition, Miki Shiraha waited for Senior Kurosawa at the entrance of the Budokan.
Such rumors are not fabricated, but have been witnessed by some people.
Perhaps such rumors do not have a great influence, but Miki Baiyu is her friend, so someone has asked her for confirmation, so it is hard not to know.
"Could it be that Kurosawa-senpai abandoned Bai Yu after having an affair with him?"
Thinking of such rumors and recalling Bai Yu's sad look that made him cry, Nishikawa Miki saw the pretty girls beside Kurosawa Hikaru, and her surprised look suddenly turned cold.
