Chapter 23

Ji Yue was born in a high-latitude country where snow falls all year round.

According to his mother, the night Jiyue was born, there was heavy snow outside the hospital window that almost drowned the world. But when Ji Yue let out her first cry, the snow outside suddenly stopped.

Everything in the world became quiet. Between the snow-white world and the pitch-black night, there was only a bright moon.

The moonlight shines through the window on the baby's face, and the name Jiyue comes to the mother's mind.

Some old-fashioned fathers were initially opposed to the name "Jiyue" when they heard it.

He feels that "Jiyue" is a bit too similar to a girl's name, and he is afraid of what if his son develops a soft and weak temperament and is bullied?

But in the end, he could not overcome his wife's insistence, so he had to decide on the name Ji Yue first.

However, it is indeed a bit redundant for two people who have settled abroad to argue about a Chinese name.

Because foreigners can't pronounce it accurately at all, they even add some transitions and tongue flicks to these two syllables.

As a child, Jiyue liked his name very much, but he didn't like his height.

Although his mother told her that he was not short, every time the class lined up to go out, Xiao Jiyue would be placed at the front of the line by the teacher, followed by blond male classmates who were half a head taller than him.

Even if he was standing at the head of the team, every time he went to the amusement park, he would be unable to experience a few entertainment facilities due to height restrictions.

Xiao Jiyue secretly shed tears several times in bed because of this incident.

Suddenly one day, Ji Yue, who had a small face and a serious face, walked up to Ji's mother.

She raised her face slightly and frowned: "Mom, I want to learn to exercise."

Seeing the serious little Jiyue, Ji's mother couldn't help laughing out loud: "My dear, how can there be such a thing as learning to exercise? Exercise. There are many kinds." Ji

Yue almost cried when she heard this: "But, it says on TV that you need to exercise more to grow taller."

"My dear, are you still thinking about growing taller?"

Mother stretched out her fingers to wipe away the tears in her bright eyes, and patiently explained: "Our races are different. You are not short, but they are all too tall."

Xiao Jiyue didn't buy it, and tears flowed out. The speed became faster: "Isn't that still short?"

Ji's father was very supportive of Xiao Jiyue's request. He felt that there was nothing wrong with letting the child learn to exercise to keep fit.

Ji's mother comforted the sad Ji Yuehou and she had no objections, so she took him to experience all the sports that were open to enrollment over the weekend.

When Xiao Jiyue made the final decision, she looked at the brochure in her hand with her chubby little black head hanging down as if she was facing a world problem.

Five minutes later, Ji Yue raised her little head and looked at Ji's mother: "Mom, what kind of exercise can I learn to grow taller?"

She has not forgotten about growing taller.

Ji's mother was amused and thought carefully for a few seconds before replying: "It involves sports such as jumping."

Xiao Jiyue nodded and thought for a few more minutes. Her two hands stopped on one page of the brochure, and she opened the promotional picture inside and raised her hands above her head. Her tone was solemn and expectant: "Mom, I want to learn this!"

Ji's mother squatted down, thinking that Ji Yue would choose Basketball But after seeing the photos on the promotional poster, her eyes suddenly opened wider: "You want to learn... figure skating?"

Xiao Jiyue nodded vigorously.

The swaying black hair and the snow-white skin look like a rolling black sesame dumpling.

"Mom, look, this guy can jump so high!"

Ji Mu couldn't help but rub his head, and said with a loving smile: "Okay, we can learn whatever you want to learn."

Figure skating is the most important thing in this country. The flagship sport of figure skating, the training at any figure skating stadium in the city is very systematic and professional.

But what is directly proportional to the professionalism of figure skating training is the accumulation of training volume and the strict training standards.

At first Ji's mother thought Ji Yue would give up because of the three minutes of heat, but what she didn't expect was that Ji Yue would be happy every time she came home.

"Mom, I can skate on the ice by myself on my skates today!"

"Mom, I can skate on the ice for several times today without falling!"

"Mom, I can spin around on my skates today!"

...

Since Ji Yue Xue After taking up figure skating, Ji’s mother never heard him mention anything else.

Ji Yue grew up to be fourteen years old like this.

Proportional to his level of nagging were the medals he took home and hung all over the room.

In Ji Yue's ninth year of learning figure skating, he said to Ji's mother: "Mom, the coach said he wanted me to participate in the competition."

Ji's mother, who listened to Ji Yue's talk about figure skating at the dinner table every day, casually replied: " You can go if you want, this is not your first time participating in the competition."

The fourteen-year-old Ji Yue already looks like a young man.

But compared to the refinement he had when he was an adult, his face now looks more childlike.

After receiving the agreement, Ji Yue first raised her arms and cheered. She smiled very brightly and said in a cheerful voice: "The coach said that this competition will not be in the capital and I will go abroad. I thought you would disagree."

"Abroad?" Ji's mother picked up vegetables. His hands froze and he frowned slightly, "Isn't this a competition in the city? What kind of competition are you going to go abroad for?"

"Um..."

Ji Yue tried hard to recall the name of the competition that the coach told him, "What does it seem to be called...World Youth Figure Skating Championships."

Ji Yue was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then asked: "World Youth Figure Skating Championships?"

Ji Yue scooped up a mouthful of rice and stuffed it into her mouth, speaking incoherently. Said: "I forgot the specific name. The coach just told me to prepare well."

Unlike the calm Ji Yue, Ji's mother, who has always adopted a semi-freedom attitude towards Ji Yue, also went abroad because of this competition.

Game day.

Ji Yue in the lounge has already changed into a blue and purple Costen.

His soft black hair hung down, shining like diamonds inlaid on Costen as he warmed up.

Ji Yue saw Ji's mother concentrating in front of the TV and asked with a smile: "Mom, why do you look more nervous than me?"

Ji's mother had already begun to feel faintly for Ji Yue after seeing the performance of the previous contestants. Worried.

But what she worried about first was not Ji Yue's grades, but Ji Yue's after getting her grades.

"My dear, I see the men's singles players are a few years older than you. This is our first time participating in this kind of competition, so just try your best."

Ji Yue heard this and smiled: "Mom, are you worried that I will lose? Are you trying to comfort me in advance?"

Although Ji's mother was denying her words, the worried look on her face betrayed her: "The ranking in sports competitions does not mean winning or losing. Winning the championship means winning. At your age, you can participate in international competitions. It's also a win."

As soon as Ji's mother finished speaking, the staff came over and started taking Ji Yue and the coach to the designated place to wait according to the procedure.

Before Ji Yue left the lounge, she hugged Ji's mother, who was all nervous, and patted her on the back.

Ji Yue followed the coach out of the door for a few steps, then suddenly returned. He leaned back and smiled at Ji Mu.

Flaunty and confident:

"Mom, wait for me for three minutes. I'll win a championship and come back."

Ji Yue drew lots and got the last number. Although the coach next to him knew Ji Yue's ability, he couldn't help but asked him: "Yue, you saw everyone's performance in the lounge, why are you not nervous?"

The scoring session of the previous player It was over. Ji Yue stood at the entrance and stretched, bent his eyes and looked at the coach with a smile: "I was nervous at first, but I wasn't nervous after watching their performance."

He was sure that he was these First among men. The coach reacted for two seconds after hearing this. After coming back to his senses, he laughed twice and stretched out his hand to pat

Ji Yue's shoulder: "Good boy, you are so beautiful! Go give those old bones some shock from the East!"

Yue came to the center of the playing field under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes and countless cameras.

The lights dimmed one by one, leaving only a circle of light shining on him.

Everyone thought that the slender and immature boy in the circle of light would perform a soothing music, but the first thing that caught their ears was a burst of intense drum beats.

Ji Yue raised his head and smiled, and walked around the venue accompanied by music, announcing his arrival to the world.

Jiyue spun and jumped on the ice, light and agile, with flowers growing under her feet.

Just as the referees marveled at the footwork, spin and artistic expression of this 14-year-old boy, an even more jaw-dropping scene came into their sight.

The boy on the ice actually completed a quadruple jump immediately after a perfect triple jump!

No panic, no mistakes. The movement is as smooth as an ordinary slide.

The referee's eyes widened, and after reacting, he sighed: "Oh God, it seems that geniuses like to be the last to appear."

The fourteen-year-old boy who was ignored before coming on the field, unexpectedly got the record-breaking highest score after coming off the field. .

Ji Yue was like a thunder, shaking the figure skating world's calm waters all year round.

After winning the World Youth Championship, Ji Yue was like a tornado rising from the water, sweeping the awards in various international figure skating competitions.

Three years later, Ji Yue was seventeen years old. Already at the forefront of the world's men's figure skating standings.

On his seventeenth birthday, Ji Yue won the second world championship in his life - the World Figure Skating Championship.

In three years, Ji Yue went from an unknown dark horse to a rising star in figure skating that is sought after by thousands of people.

After the World Championships performance, the bright-eyed Ji Yue raised the corners of his mouth and walked around the field again, opening his arms in the rain of petal dolls to welcome his own cheers that resounded through the sky.

After this battle, Ji Yue's title of "the devil of men's singles figure skating" began to spread.

He has never been off the podium since entering the race.

There are many people with good skills in figure skating, but Ji Yue is the only one who is never nervous in any competition.

After the World Championships, Ji Yue rested at home for two days.

That day at the dinner table, Ji's father suddenly asked Ji Yue: "The Olympics should be held next year, right?"

Ji Yue smiled and nodded: "Yeah! The coach said that I should prepare well before participating in the Olympics, and other events first. I won't participate."

Seeing Ji Yue's expectant look, Ji's father hesitated for a few seconds before speaking: "...Dad wants you to return to China and participate in the Olympics in the name of our country."

Ji Yue didn't react for a moment and was stunned for a few seconds. Miao Miao: "...Go back to China?"

When Ji's mother saw this, she quickly said to smooth things over: "My dear, your father wants you to return to China to bring glory. If you don't want to, we won't force you."

She followed her parents back to China several times during the holidays. When Ji Yue heard that his father asked him to return to China to participate in the Olympics, he didn't have much resistance. He was just worried: "There is only one year left. Can the documents and procedures be handled before the Olympics?"

Ji's father saw that Ji Yue had no objection. He breathed a sigh of relief and promised with a smile: "You don't have to worry about these things, I will take care of them before the game."

A few months later,

Ji Yue, who had handled all the procedures, returned to China alone, full of enthusiasm and ambition.

But what no one expected was that what awaited Ji Yue would be hell.
