Chapter 90

"Ding——"

Qi Zhao, who was immersed in his thoughts, was suddenly pulled back by a message notification tone.

She picked up her phone and looked at it, and found that it was the message Ji Yue had just sent.

[Ji Yue: Sorry sister, I have been training before and now I just got my phone. ]

[Ji Yue: [crying]]

Seeing Ji Yue, who didn't often express emotions, send a pitiful photo, Qi Zhao unconsciously curled his lips and sat up to reply.

[Zhaojiu Plaything: Is the training going well? 】

Ji Yue over there seemed to be thinking seriously, and she was quiet for a while before replying.

[Ji Yue: It went very smoothly. It was all the things I had trained before. ]

Qi Zhao's smile deepened when he saw the confident news in this sentence, and joked to Ji Yue: [I saw that the announcement said that you will have your first game tomorrow, but now it seems that our big athlete It's very relaxing. ]

After receiving the news, Ji Yue stared at the last few words of the sentence and suddenly laughed, her ears getting hotter and hotter.

[Ji Yue: Because I was used to this kind of competition before, I’m not so nervous now. 】

A news about the Olympics suddenly popped up on the top of the phone, and Qi Zhao remembered the clarification he saw on the official account today.

Qi Zhao didn't know how much he knew about this information, but at this moment she just pretended to be ignorant in front of Ji Yue, who was about to officially compete, and only said: "If there is anything I can do to help, just ask." 】

Perhaps because he felt that the sentence he sent was too formal and serious, Qi Zhao added another sentence.

[Zhaojiu Plaything: Although my sister doesn’t know how to provide psychological counseling, she should be able to help you relieve your tension. 】

Ji Yue over there became quiet when she saw this message, and did not reply for a long time.

Just when Qi Zhao thought that he might not reply again today, Ji Yue seemed to have suddenly struggled with the answer, and sent it over with anticipation and timidity.

[Ji Yue: Can I see your face? 】

Qi Zhao saw that this request was not a request to her, and she answered simply: "Of course." ]

Qi Zhao made a video call after sending this message.

His face instantly appeared on the screen, and Qi Zhao arranged his hair in front of the camera.

After the ring beeped a few times, there was a "ding" sound, and the changing seconds appeared above the phone, but Qi Zhao couldn't see his face.

Qi Zhao laughed and asked the person opposite: "Didn't you say you wanted to see my face? Why did you switch to a voice call?"

Qi Zhao's first half of the sentence was a joke. She thought Ji Yue would be like before. He panics and denies or is so shy that he doesn't know what to do. But Qi Zhao didn't expect that she would be the one stunned when Ji Yue's answer came out.

The clear and clear voice of the young man in the receiver also had a smile. Perhaps it was because he had become bolder through a mobile phone, or perhaps because he did not have so many worries the night before the Olympic Games. Ji Yue spoke softly:

" Because I am used to saving the things I look forward to most until the most important moment."

Facing Ji Yue, who almost knew the cards, Qi Zhao did not pursue the victory but continued to pretend to be confused.

As if she didn't understand the meaning behind this sentence, she continued to ask him: "What is an important moment?"

"Well..." Ji Yue thought for a moment and then answered, "Wait for the moment when I win the championship?"

Ji Yue's voice was clear and calm, but the madness belonging to a young man in these words could not be concealed.

Qi Zhao was not surprised when she heard this sentence from Ji Yue, who had always been reserved and quiet. Instead, she felt that this was the real Ji Yue.

This is the original Ji Yue before she suffered the harm her stepmother said.

Qi Zhao then said to Ji Yue as if he was remembering something: "By the way, I met my uncle and aunt while eating today."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds before Ji Yue's voice came out again: " ...Have you met?"

Ji Yue, who was originally calm and unhurried when facing the Olympics, now sounded anxious and nervous.

The uneasy tone that reached his ears on the phone turned into the Ji Yue that Qi Zhao was familiar with.

Qi Zhao couldn't help laughing when he heard Ji Yue's emotional changes in just a few seconds. He nodded and said, "Yes."

Although he didn't know what Ji Yue was nervous about, Qi Zhao tried to make him relax. He added: "Uncle and aunt are very nice people and very talkative."

But Ji Yue seemed to be even more nervous when she heard this sentence, and Qi Zhao could even clearly hear him taking a breath through the receiver.

Qi Zhao felt a little strange inexplicably, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

She was about to ask Ji Yue something, but a second before she spoke, she heard him carefully ask herself: "What did you all talk about?"

Qi Zhao now understood what Ji Yue was nervous about, and she smiled She opened her mouth and asked deliberately: "What? Are you afraid that Auntie will tell me about you?"

Ji Yue, who rarely showed his young heart in front of her, only now let Qi Zhao have him at such a young age real feeling.

But logically speaking, everyone should be afraid that their parents will talk about the embarrassing things they did when they were young in front of others.

Ji Yue was quiet for a few seconds before she squeezed out a syllable: "...Hmm."

After uneasy admission, Ji Yue asked again: "Sister, what did my mother tell you?"

Ji Yue asked. His tone was reckless and nervous, just like a young boy in adolescence before he confesses his love.

Qi Zhao heard the tension in his words and was afraid that this matter would affect his game tomorrow, so he smiled to comfort him and only picked out the good points and said: "It's nothing, I just told you something about your childhood. "Tell me how good and cute you were when you were a child."

Ji Yue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and murmured: "Just talking about things when I was a child..."

"Just?" Qi Zhao captured him keenly. The key point in his words was that he raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Aren't you afraid that your aunt will tell you some embarrassing things you did when you were a child?"

Qi Zhaoming knew Ji Yue and didn't hide it anymore.

Perhaps it was the broken window effect, but Ji Yue, who knew that Ji's mother had not revealed her crush on Qi Zhao, was very calm when she heard this.

There is even a sense of excitement about surviving the disaster.

At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten the experiences of the previous few months, and his whole personality was as confident and arrogant as if he were still in a land of ice and snow: "I was very sensible when I was a child, and there was nothing embarrassing about me."

Qi Zhao heard that Ji Yue was a little embarrassed I couldn't help but laugh out loud at what I said.

Knowing that Ji Yue was in good shape now, she joked without hesitation: "Really? But I heard that there was a kid who didn't tame the skates well on the first day of figure skating, so he hid in his room and cried secretly at night. The pen drew a little turtle on the skate to vent his anger. "

Qi Zhao couldn't help but smile when he thought of that scene: "Auntie said she was afraid of being discovered by them, so the kid obediently wiped away the graffiti."

Ji Yue's cheeks turned red, embarrassed . laughed.

Hearing this from Qi Zhao, he was a little shy but not ashamed.

Instead of changing or evading the topic like others, Ji Yue was even able to take over the conversation and add the following plot: "I remember that I couldn't wipe it clean no matter how I wiped it off. When I went to the training ground to take the ice, the coach joked that he wanted me to do it too. Draw one on his skates."

Qi Zhao remembered the photo Ji's mother had shown him. The man in the picture was strong, tall and strong.

He looks less like a skating coach and more like a special soldier.

Qi Zhao was a little surprised when he heard Ji Yue's words, and said: "I saw your coach's photo today and thought he was a very serious person, but when you said it, he seemed quite lively."

Thinking of the person who has been with him for more than ten years . The coach, familiar people and topics made Ji Yue lively.

His tone was cheerful, like a child introducing his good friend to others: "The coach's image and personality are very contrasting!"

"Don't look at him. He is tall and strong and looks like a bear. But he is special. She likes to eat sweets, so she always carries a large bag of them wherever she goes to feel safe."

Ji Yue recalled her first meeting with the coach, with a smile on her face as she recalled the details: "The coach also liked to give them to us. Give me candy. After I won the prize in the first competition, the coach had to give me a brown bear candy, saying that I looked like that bear on the ice."

Qi Zhao, who happened to have heard this story, accepted it very naturally. After talking, as if he had personally participated in that time: "Don't you like it very much after eating it?"

"Auntie said that she strictly controlled your sugar intake when you were a child, and you would secretly find your coach every time you won a game. Take it as a reward."

Ji Yue over there relaxed unconsciously, her whole body feeling relaxed and peaceful. Ji

Yue did not feel surprised when she heard Qi Zhao telling her things about herself like a treasure trove. Instead, she smiled knowingly: "I was young and didn't know how to exercise restraint at that time. I wanted a lot of it when I wanted it."

Yue seemed to remember something, and after a two-second pause, she spoke again with a deeper smile: "I remember that there was a time when I participated in a lot of competitions, and after I won, I asked the coach for candy. I was in the developmental stage at the time and had no control. A good diet caused my weight to skyrocket, and it became a bit difficult to jump. Since then, I haven't asked the coach for sugar..."

Ji Yue didn't know what she remembered at the end, and her voice became smaller and smaller. , the interest became less and less, and the voice finally fell silent with the sound of breathing.

There was no sound from the other end of the phone. Qi Zhao didn't know which coach Ji Yue was thinking of at this moment.

Qi Zhao changed the subject and said, "By the way, what will your competition process be like tomorrow?"

Ji Yue came back to her senses after hearing Qi Zhao's voice, and began to think after the words reached her ears.

After a moment, Ji Yue's voice came out again: "I will play in the afternoon game tomorrow, but I will go to familiarize myself with the venue in the morning."

The tone didn't sound like there was a big problem, and Ji Yue's state should not have much problems.

Qi Zhao estimated the time in his mind and asked again: "Does it have to be within a specific time when you are familiar with the venue?"

"Yes." Ji Yue responded, and then explained, "I have to go to the formal meeting tomorrow morning. Gather near the venue."

Qi Zhao glanced at the time on his phone and said, "It's getting late now, so you should go to bed early."

Before Ji Yue could answer, Qi Zhao added with a smile: " This is my first time watching you compete live, come on, big athlete."

Ji Yue burst out laughing when she heard this, and her original gloom disappeared instantly.

He nodded and responded softly: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then clicked on the shopping app on his phone.
