"By the way, Xiaoyao, after competing in the Olympic Games, should you consider entering a higher school? I remember that several colleges and universities have sent you invitations for admission. I think you still have to study, otherwise..."
"I know, I know," Tong Xinyao didn't want to listen to his rambling, so she interrupted directly, "I will consider it."
As a university teacher, Tong Xinkai attaches great importance to learning. Tong Xinyao is not stupid, but she just doesn't like studying, especially when figure skating is on the rise at this stage, and she doesn't want to have more academic pressure.
She is a first-level athlete and has achieved some results in international competitions. Several universities have already sent her recommendation letters, but she was busy preparing for the Olympics and ignored them. They sent her recommendation letters before she won an Olympic medal. The schools invited were quite sincere.
"Just think about it all day long to deal with me. I'm telling you..." Tong Xinkai would let her do anything else, but she was very insistent on this matter.
"Okay, okay, what's the rush? Many athletes go to college after retiring. Our Xiaoyao is so smart, we can arrange it ourselves, right." Lin Yumo knew his good brother's temperament and hurriedly tried to find a way to solve the problem. .
Tong Xinyao pouted, it was a rare meeting, and Tong Xinkai didn't want to make the atmosphere awkward, so she didn't say any more.
After the meal, Tong Xinyao and Lin Yumo sent Tong Xinkai to the entrance of the Olympic Village. When they parted, Tong Xinyao hugged Tong Xinkai.
Returning to her childhood for a second, Tong Xinkai rubbed the back of her head, "What's wrong?"
Tong Xinyao and Tong Xinkai are 11 years apart, so Tong Xinkai has doted on her since she was a child and does not fight and quarrel like ordinary second children.
"Don't work too hard. You'll never finish your paper. Come visit me more often when you have time. You can watch my games or come to my house. Don't sit in a pile of books all day long. You'll become stupid." "
"I know, since when did you become a chatterbox?"
"I will really consider what you say, but there are a lot of things going on recently, and my little mind has no time to take care of so many things." She raised her eyes and looked at Tong Xinkai, looking very sincere.
"I know you've been working really hard recently, so take a good rest for a while and don't be in a hurry." Tong Xinkai, who has met countless people, can never resist Tong Xinyao's coquettishness, "Okay, I really have to leave, call me if you need anything. "
Tong Xinyao reluctantly let go of her hand. This busy person doesn't know when the next time they will meet is.
"He's gone, don't be sad. I promise you, I will find more ways to get him out in the future." Lin Yumo has been watching from the side. He didn't expect that the relationship between the two brothers and sisters would still be so good after not seeing each other for so long.
"Yeah." Tong Xinyao responded perfunctorily.
"Think of something fun. We will perform skating tomorrow and enjoy the moment of dancing with your idol." Lin Yumo wanted to distract her.
This matter has indeed been expected for a long time, and the haze in Tong Xinyao's heart dissipated a little, "Well, I'll go back first. Thank you Brother Yumo tonight."
"I'll give it to you."
"No, the athletes' apartment and the reporter's apartment are at the east end and the reporter apartment at the west end. It's very far if you go back and forth." Tong Xinyao didn't want to trouble him.
"Okay, stay safe and send me a message when you get there."
"Okay." Tong Xinyao turned and left.
Tong Xinyao didn't sleep well all night, and it was finally time for the exciting performance.
She successfully completed her solo program "Phantom of the Opera" and then went to the stands to watch Chen Zhiyuan's solo performance.
He skated the free skating program "Romeo and Juliet" which won him the world championship for the first time. Tong Xinyao was very familiar with this program. At that time, she just started to participate in the youth group competition, and was attracted by Chen Zhiyuan's beautiful and charming program. Impressed by his neat movements.
The moment the music started playing, Tong Xinyao couldn't hold back any longer, and tears welled up in her eyes. There are rumors that this is his last Olympics. Although it has not been confirmed, he will be 29 in the next Olympics, which is indeed not young for a men's singles figure skater. In addition, his skating today is so memorable. It’s hard not to think too much about this set of programs.
At the end of the performance, he bowed deeply to the audience on all sides. The auditorium burst into thunderous applause. The volume was as loud as his farewell stage, and his curtain call took longer than any other competition or performance.
Tong Xinyao was still immersed in this sad atmosphere. Suddenly someone patted her shoulder from the side, bringing her back to reality, "It's time to prepare for the collective curtain call."
Tong Xinyao used her knuckles to rest the tears on her eyelashes, and then she had to concentrate. This was the first time, and probably the last time, to stand on the same ice rink with her idol at the same time. She must cherish it and not lose anything.
After all the athletes participating in the performance skating gathered together, the first ones to perform were the pairs skating and ice dancing skaters. Tong Xinyao hid behind and silently applauded.
She felt a figure beside her sliding towards her quickly, and suddenly stopped the car, "We will be here soon, are you nervous?" It was Chen Zhiyuan.
She shook her head, still feeling a little sad when she thought that she had just been introduced to her idol and he was about to retire.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Chen Zhiyuan thought she was still nervous, so he comforted her, "It's okay, just play as usual."
After saying that, he took Tong Xinyao's hand and came to the middle of the ice rink, and the athletes next to him made room for them. Tong Xinyao was confused, as if she had teleported into the spotlight.
"Are you ready? It's about to start." Chen Zhiyuan looked at her with firm eyes, and Tong Xinyao felt an unprecedented sense of trust.
Tong Xinyao forced her attention back to herself, just like before the game, emphasizing the details of every step in her mind, abandoning all distracting thoughts, and only thinking about jumping around.
Sliding - entering - taking off - spinning - landing on the ice - sliding out, all in one go. She and Chen Zhiyuan landed on the ice at the same time and skated out side by side. The synchronicity was even higher than yesterday. This powerful sense of CP excited the audience.
After sliding out, Chen Zhiyuan took the initiative to greet Tong Xinyao and high-fived her. After high-fiving, because the ice was slippery, he used the inertia of his body to lean forward and gave Tong Xinyao a big hug.
This time Tong Xinyao couldn't hold back any longer, tears welling up in her eyes. By this time, they had already skated to the edge of the ice rink. Fortunately, there were other athletes showing off and the spotlight was not on them, so her crying was not noticed by the audience.
Chen Zhiyuan was frightened by her tears, "What...what's wrong?" He didn't know what happened, let alone how to comfort her.
Tong Xinyao didn't want to be so embarrassed, but she couldn't hold it back, "I'm a little reluctant to let you retire." She wiped the tears from her face in disappointment.
"Who said I was going to retire?" Chen Zhiyuan looked around and pulled her to a more private corner, "I'll tell you a secret. It hasn't been officially announced yet. I will study in China in September this year. "
