Ling Ran didn’t realise that he was rejected by Xue Linyuan.
You know, in the past, Xue Linyuan chose him at first glance, by himself. How could he refuse?
Could it be that he dislikes his body because of his older age which may not be good at bringing out results?
It was as if a basin of cold water was poured down on his head.
Ling Ran’s eyelashes drooped, and his eyelids were covered with a faint green shadow.
He is not someone who gives up easily when rejected.
The slender boy took a few steps back, his handsome face tense.
He pushed his right foot back on the ice, pressed his left foot toward the inside edge, jumped hard, and in the blink of an eye came another 3S jump!
Another Sachov triple jump!
Even better than before.
When jumping up, he crossed his legs to make the axis of rotation more stable and correct!
Because his mind was tense, he quietly exerted his strength, and even when his right leg fell on the ice, the arc bent by the impact became smaller.
Like a scheming peacock, trying hard to attract the attention of his former coach.
Several young men clapped their hands and cheered repeatedly.
Ling Ran’s first reaction after falling off the ice was to look at Xue Linyuan.
Seeing the other person’s eyes flashing, he slid back and stood in front of Xue Linyuan, “Coach Xue.”
Ling Ran didn’t notice that Zhang Jin’s eyes became brighter.
Zhang Jin is senior enough in the club and is very well-informed. He heard that this young master Ling has never been exposed to figure skating before. He has been able to perform the 3S after just practising for a short time. He is definitely a genius!
It’s just that his eyesight is not very good, why did he choose Xiao Xue!
He couldn’t help but give Xue Linyuan a sour look.
No one would doubt that Xue Linyuan would refuse again.
Coaches and athletes have a mutually fulfilling relationship.
There is no athlete who does not want to win a world championship, and there is no coach who does not want to bring out a world champion.
Not to mention the flowers and honours that come with it. Hey, when you retire in the future, you can talk more to other old men and women when dancing in the square. It will be more respectable!
Ling Ran actually felt that Xue Linyuan would agree. In the past, when he could only dance a 2s, Xue Linyuan had chosen him directly.
This is 3S.
But that didn’t stop his heartbeat from beating faster.
The last time he felt like this was when he participated in the Olympics for the first time.
But under Ling Ran’s vaguely expectant gaze, Xue Linyuan still shook his head firmly. He blushed deeply, but his tone was very firm, “Young Master Ling, I am not good enough and I really can’t teach you.”
Someone couldn’t help but snort.
Ling Ran’s face turned slightly pale.
Everyone present could see it.
The handsome boy’s eyes were so dark that they were staring at Xue Linyuan without blinking. He looked a little aggrieved, which was really unbearable.
Zhang Jin couldn’t stand it anymore.
The age of fifteen or sixteen is the time when you are the most proud. If it had been any other young ancestor, he might have smashed their club’s stall! What’s going on with Xue Linyuan? Isn’t this a slap in the face? Young Master Ling is such a good prospect and has a humble attitude. He still doesn’t like him. Could it be that he wants to directly recruit a ready-made champion?
Ling Ran’s loss was not actually due to rejection.
But…
Rejecting himself again and again, is he really Xue Linyuan?
Ling Ran couldn’t help but be suspicious.
He took one last deep look at Xue Linyuan, and without further entanglement, he slid to the other end of the field like the wind.
He wanted to be quiet.
After all, the feeling of gaining and losing again is really astonishing.
Ling Ran is an orphan. He has been immersed in boring training all year round, spinning, jumping, and gliding day after day. The snow-white ice rink is his only friend and the witness of his existence.
Xue Linyuan was the only person besides Bingxue who treated him well, like a father and a brother. He never said it, but he left a very important place in his heart for Xue Linyuan.
Ling Ran’s unhappiness was visible to everyone with eyes. Xue Linyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Very good! He was really afraid that this young master Ling would insist on letting him be the coach.
Xue Linyuan turned his head and saw Zhang Jin’s eyes were red with soreness.
“Are you so stubborn that you can even look down on Young Master Ling?”
Xue Linyuan hummed twice, with a face full of embarrassment, but still did not change his words, obviously he had made up his mind.
Zhang Jin looked angry, but was secretly happy in his heart.
He wanted to pick up Ling Ran.
The only thing that made him angry was that Xue Linyuan was stubborn and didn’t know how to adapt. He was afraid that he would hurt Ling Ran’s face and make Young Master Huo unhappy.
Zhang Jin straightened his chest and caught up with Ling Ran with a cheerful expression on his face.
First he scolded Xue Linyuan, then he listed all the medals he had won, and finally he sincerely invited, “I have more experience, and you are welcome to join my team.”
In fact, Ling Ran was a little unhappy when he belittled Xue Linyuan.
Later, Zhang Jin’s self-recommendation was about the competition. He had been to it countless times before. Every time he performed skating, he was always in the championship group. How could he be tempted? He shook his head on the spot.
Zhang Jin smiled coquettishly, unable to hold back his old face.
He stared at Ling Ran, who was sliding away like the wind, and spat in his heart: You are already 15, and you are still picky. Let’s see how far you can go!
Zhang Jin waved, and the coach who originally held the boom brought little Huya over.
“Qiao Shi, did your 2A jump succeed?”
2A, which is Axel’s double jump, is not much easier than the 3S that Ling Ran just jumped, which is Sachov’s triple jump.
It turns out that he is little tiger’s coach.
Qiao Shi scratched his head and said, “Yeah, probably.”
Zhang Jin smiled, “There will be a national club competition in two months. I will take you there then.”
Little tiger Qiao Shi jumped three feet high with joy.
“Thank you coach!”
It’s not like I don’t have outstanding disciples under me! Zhang Jin couldn’t help but glance at the slender figure on the ice.
Ling Ran slid around all morning.
It wasn’t until everyone got off the ice one after another, and he was the only one left, that he put away his skates and walked to the club’s restaurant.
Skating is a very physically demanding activity. At the same time, it relies heavily on strength explosion and weight control.
The burst of strength determines the height and distance the jump can reach, and the stability of the body weight will directly affect the axis of body rotation when completing the jump and rotation part.
Perhaps more than that, it is difficult for a person who is too strong to be as elegant as a nobleman on the ice. Falling on the ice is likely to turn into a wreck, which directly affects the perception of the referee and the audience.
Therefore, supplementing high-quality protein and controlling carbohydrate intake are compulsory courses for every athlete.
The smell of chicken breast floats in the air of the restaurant.
On everyone’s plates, meat is pink, vegetables are green, and corn is yellow. There is no white rice, but the grey steamed buns with mixed noodles are enough. It’s just that rice is a carbohydrate and has too many calories, so few people choose it in restaurants.
But that’s not to say the restaurant doesn’t have rice.
Ling Ran saw the young coach in the corner at a glance. The plate was filled with a pointed pile of rice, and pig trotters with thick marinade were pressed on the rice. There was even a can of beer beside his right hand.
“It would be nice to have some more pot-roasted pork and chicken stewed with mushrooms.”
Ling Ran heard the man whispering in Northeastern dialect.
He immediately couldn’t walk.
After a pause, Ling Ran came over carrying his own plate.
“Coach Xue, are my skills poor?”
The young man’s tone was very calm and sincere, and the eyes he looked at were dark and translucent, and he didn’t look like he was inciting an enemy to accuse him.
Xue Linyuan’s originally tense mood relaxed.
“It’s… pretty good.”
Not long after he started figure skating, he was able to jump a 3S, which is pretty good. I heard he can also jump a 1A.
“Am I much older?” Ling Ran looked directly at him.
Xue Linyuan shook his head.
Ling Ran’s physical condition is very good, and he is talented. If he trains hard in a scientific and systematic way, he may be able to succeed.
“Then why?”
Why don’t you want me?
Ling Ran didn’t say this sentence, but both of them understood it.
Xue Linyuan was silent for a moment.
Ling Ran did not ask aggressively, but patiently waited for Xue Linyuan to relax.
Xue Linyuan’s next words became less difficult to say.
“Young Master Ling, can you tell me the complete process of jumping 3S?”
Ling Ran blinked and said, “3S, Sachov’s triple jump. The takeoff is from the left back inner edge. When landing, the right back outer edge slides out on the ice. Before taking off, the legs are spread apart in a figure eight.”
Standard, textbook answer.
Xue Linyuan coughed, “You don’t need to make preparations?”
Ling Ran didn’t understand what he meant and looked at him with a slight frown.
Xue Linyuan didn’t hesitate either.
“Normal people will look back when they take off… to avoid any problems when they land. But you never do this. This may be because you are too confident. I think… I may not be able to teach you.”
He said it awkwardly, but Ling Ran had been with him for more than ten years and understood what he meant right away.
It turns out that I missed the mark by never looking back before jumping.
Indeed, many athletes will look back when taking off to prevent themselves from miscalculating the distance and hitting something. There are even many people who stop to accumulate power before jumping. They would rather sacrifice their coordination with the music and wait for a while to ensure their success rate when jumping and landing on the ice.
But Ling Ran is different. He has been on the ice for more than ten years, and he is extremely familiar with the 60×30 ice rink.
With his eyes closed, he could tell where he was in the ice rink, how far away he was from the nearest railing, where the referee’s seat was, and from which direction he should bow to the audience when he took the curtain call.
Why bother to look back?
That’s why Xue Linyuan misunderstood him, thinking that he was too confident and arrogant, and was afraid that they wouldn’t get along. Of course, there should be another reason for the bonus of family background, fearing that he would not be able to endure the hardships, and fearing that he would have too many retreats.
He never expected that this was the reason, Ling Ran was a little funny.
He thought it was the slander on hot searches that affected Xue Linyuan’s perception of him.
That’s a bit troublesome.
After all, he didn’t have any video of the practice room, so it was really hard to explain.
Ling Ran smiled appropriately, a restrained smile belonging to a young man, and stretched out his right hand.
“Coach Xue, you may not know, but my memory and sense of space are very good. I have already memorised the layout in front of the ice rink, so I don’t have to look back when I take off. I have watched the video of your game when you were in service and I like your playing style very much. That’s why I want to ask you to give me a chance to temporarily train with you for a period of time. If you think it still doesn’t work, I will quit on my own initiative.”
Having said that, Xue Linyuan also felt that it would not be good for him to refuse again.
Isn’t it just a matter of turning around? The wave of international figure skating players who will never look back are all top seed players in the field of figure skating. What if I am lucky enough to find a future No. 1 brother?
This young master Ling doesn’t look like a domineering person.
In short…isn’t it definitely because he said he watched his own game video!
Xue Linyuan chuckled and held Ling Ran’s hand.
Immediately, I saw the young man’s smile blooming like a flower, full of vitality.
Tsk tsk, Ling Ran is so handsome.
If he grows up in the future, he will be able to take advantage of the looks on the court. Whether it is an ice fan or a referee, no one can refuse.
But there was one thing he still couldn’t understand, “Ling Ran, why two months?”
“There will be a national club league in two months and I want to participate.” Ling Ran retracted his hand and resisted the urge to wipe his hands with a tissue.
He still wasn’t used to other people’s touch.
Even though the person in front of him is Xue Linyuan, he is not the Xue Linyuan he is familiar with who is 170 cm tall and 170 lb heavy.
The chopsticks in Xue Linyuan’s hand suddenly fell off.
“Participate in the competition?”
The high-pitched voice attracted many people to look over.
Xue Linyuan blushed and suddenly thought: Club competitions are also divided into public and elite groups. Ling Ran should be participating in the public group, right?
After all, the elite group is the reserve team of the provincial team and the national team, and it is full of talents.
Xue Linyuan thought about it and realised that the competition in the public group was not too difficult, so he happily agreed.
Ling Ran smiled again, and this time the people who were attracted to look over were little girls with shining eyes.
Ling Ran dealt with a matter on his mind, and his mentality was completely different when he went on the ice again.
It seems that my heart is in the right place and my whole person is more peaceful.
Only he himself knows this subtle difference.
Xue Linyuan is a good coach. Although he is inexperienced, he is focused on his one and only disciple, Miaomiao. He stays up all night looking up information and gets dark circles under his eyes. Just like that, he still had to stare at him with panda eyes every day, asking Ling Ran to jump only when he was around, for fear that he would accidentally go astray.
Ling Ran got used to Xue Linyuan’s mentality of protecting the cubs, and the adjustment went smoothly.
He also took the time to go back to Weibo, delete the trainee profile under the certified account, and clear out the previous blog posts that were sad and indignant.
The number was not deleted but kept, so as not to have to apply for it again in the future and have to verify my name again, which he thought was too troublesome.
At this time, the anti-fans and opponents who had been gradually immersed in it because he didn’t show up suddenly appeared, and they all rushed to tell each other.
[That bitch Ling Ran was really kicked by the show crew! ]
End of the Chapter 6.
