Chapter 53: persuade, counter-kill, kettle

Two weeks later on Saturday.

Wearing a light blue sweater, Ge Dong walked into the provincial team with a suitcase.

After the award ceremony, his hair was cut short, and now it's a little longer, and he just washed it this morning, with a slight lemon scent.

A young coach's assistant drove him out of Bin City Gymnasium and took him all the way to the provincial team to familiarize him with the facilities of the provincial team.

After walking for a while, Ge Dong accidentally saw, not far away, Changsheng He and a pretty girl walking side by side from the kiosk.

In Ge Dong's memory, the girl named Xiaoyan Fang was once Changsheng He's partner, at first almost equal to Changsheng He's level, but later had to retire due to poor form and performance.

Xiaochi Chi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Since Changsheng He is here, his peripheral derivatives are probably not far behind.

As expected, Sifan Lou followed him out of the kiosk a few seconds later, putting a bottle of ice water on Changsheng He's cheek.

Changsheng He shivered and turned around to glare at him.

Sifan Lou unscrewed another sports drink and handed it to Xiaoyan Fang: "This is not cold. Girls can drink it too."

His gentle smile really melts the heart, so much so that Xiaoyan Fang's gaze when looking at him is completely a loving spring water.

Changsheng He unscrewed the bottle cap by himself, just a few steps forward, the corner of the eye glanced at a light blue figure.

He gave a "hmm" and called out the name of the visitor: "...... Ge Dong ?"

When he heard someone greet him, Ge Dong stood still and bowed to them with restraint and courtesy.

When Sifan Lou heard this "Ge Dong", the corner of his lips that had been uplifted faltered slightly.

By the time he turned his head, he had masterfully adjusted his expression.

Ge Dong has not yet arrived, but his name is already very famous in the provincial team, and Xiaoyan Fang also recognized him at once: "Oh, it's that Ge Dong! The real person looks better than on TV!"

Ge Dong gave a slight nod, "Thank you, senior."

This serious look is more attractive, Xiaoyan Fang instantly a maternal flood, positive: "Elder please drink, okay?"

Ge Dong spared the words, "Thank you, seniors."

She grinned, reached for Changsheng He's wallet, and ran for the kiosk.

Changsheng He is a bit resentful: "...... Hey, my wallet."

Xiaoyan Fang returned from afar: "Look at your petty spirit. Why don't you learn from Brother Fan?"

Changsheng He touched his pocket, not very happy.

It's not that he doesn't want to spend money, he just doesn't like people just touching his stuff.

Sifan Lou saw Changsheng He's face sunken and immediately said to comfort him, "It's okay, I'll make up for how much Yan Xiao spent later."

Changsheng He : "......"

He was too lazy to explain and simply stopped talking.

By the time he returned his gaze to Ge Dong, Sifan Lou had tuned his expression to the mildest channel.

Before he found out that Ge Dong was going to be on the provincial youth team, he had been playing a lot of private conversations about what he would say to Ge Dong when he saw him again.

...... himself had helped him like that, and also said in public that he was very familiar with him, think about it also know that group school stupid boy dare not bully him again.

If it were not for himself, he would still be struggling in deep water.

Having said that, Sifan Lou would never make this kindness too obvious.

After all, he, Sifan Lou, was never one to be condescending.

He coughed and used words to close the distance first: "You cut your hair?"

Ge Dong touches his soft hair stubble and nods his head.

He complimented again, "We all watched your game. You played very well."

Unexpectedly, Ge Dong's attitude toward him was no different from that of Xiaoyan Fang, whom he had met for the first time, and he said like a small repeater, "Thank you, senior."

Sifan Lou : "......"

Changsheng He was less self-conscious and asked point-blank, "Do you remember us?"

Ge Dong's watery peach blossom eyes blinked, "You are ......"

Sifan Lou : "......"

Changsheng He doesn't find it surprising.

They just met in passing, and the time was far away three months ago, not to mention that they did not help in that bullying, Ge Dong does not remember them is normal.

So, he seriously introduced himself, "I am Changsheng He."

Ge Dong nodded, "He seniors."

After that, he turned to Sifan Lou and waited for Sifan Lou to introduce himself.

This huge psychological gap is a little hard for Sifan Lou to accept:

...... How could he not remember himself?

Obviously, he helped himself ......

At this time, Sifan Lou is only a 15-year-old teenager, not so strong mind, emotions come up, directly on the face.

When Changsheng He saw that he was silent, he said for him, "He is Sifan Lou."

Ge Dong nodded once: "Senior Lou."

This is considered a greeting.

Sifan Lou managed to smile a little bit again, "Hello."

...... Forget it, why should he bother with a child four years younger than himself.

What does he know about it.

But then, Ge Dong, the little repeater, took the initiative to talk to him: "Senior Lou, have you seen my game?"

Sifan Lou adjusted his mind and praised in a senior manner, "Excellent."

Ge Dong smiled lightly, "Thank you."

Sifan Lou seized the opportunity and pretended not to notice and asked the question he had been brewing for a long time: " Ge Dong , have you ever thought about your future when you came to the provincial team?"

Ge Dong said, "I've thought about it."

Sifan Lou looked at him encouragingly, "How do you plan to do that?"

Ge Dong said, "Be the number one men's singles skater."

Sifan Lou : "......"

At that, Changsheng He raised the corners of his lips in a rare moment.

...... didn't expect the kid to have such high ambition.

Back then he also had this idea, just never refused to declare it.

Sifan Lou lifted his breath and continued to guide him: "Have you considered switching to pairs skating?"

Xiaochi Chi in Ge Dong's body: "......"

Xiaochi Chi in vivo 061: "......"

Sifan Lou's reason is good: "Our provincial team has a very strong faculty in pairs skating, so it is easy to make a name for yourself and has produced many world champions. You are still young, it's not too late to switch; if you are a little older, it will be difficult to switch again."

Sifan Lou's words were heartfelt, but when they fell on Xiaochi Chi's ears, they were automatically transformed into bla bla bla bla bla.

Xiaochi Chi said to 061, "Wow, how thoughtful. Shouldn't I thank him then."

061: "...... you ignore him."

With a set of small words so smoothly spoken, 061 reasonably suspects that Sifan Lou has rehearsed this set of words in private.

Sifan Lou still looks like a person who is as light as a chrysanthemum and brings up the coach to add more conviction to his words: "The coach will definitely ask you if you want to switch to pairs when the time comes. You can think about it in advance."

Sifan Lou speaks with sincerity and truth in every word.

The future of pairs skating is indeed a little brighter and less internationally competitive than singles skating.

As a senior, it makes sense to give this advice.

He looks forward to Ge Dong's response.

Ge Dong did put on a serious thinking face, and after a moment of thought, he looked up and asked, "Is it so good to skate in pairs?"

Sifan Lou pulled over Changsheng He: "Ask your senior He."

Changsheng He gave a concise "hmm" to make his position clear: "I used to be a single skater too. Then I listened to Lou, so I switched over. It's not bad."

Xiaochi Chi , 061: "......" Holy shit, so it was practiced on you?

Ge Dong looked at Changsheng He and then at Sifan Lou and asked a crucial question, "Senior Lou, since pairs skating is so good, are you also a pairs skater?"

...... That's pretty fucking exasperating.

Sifan Lou blushed for a second, but immediately reacted with a smile and asked back, "Do you think I am?"

Ge Dong raised her finger and pointed in the direction of the kiosk: "That sister just now ...... well, female seniors, is your partner, right?"

Sifan Lou was amused by the "female seniors" comment.

Changsheng He took over: "She's my partner."

Ge Dong frowned slightly: "...... Oh."

Changsheng He felt as if he had something to say, "What is it?"

"Sister and Lou senpai seem to have a better relationship than with He senpai." Ge Dong said, "Our coach has said that the most important thing for a pairs team is tacit understanding. ...... When I saw how close my sister and Lou were, I thought they were a pairs skating partner."

He sounded like an adult, which was funny at first, but Sifan Lou couldn't stop laughing after noticing Changsheng He's thoughtful look.

...... He was just afraid that Xiaoyan Fang would fall in love with Changsheng He, and wanted to please her to please Changsheng He.

After all, Changsheng He is not interested in anything other than skating, and he really doesn't know what it takes to make him happy.

After thinking about it, Changsheng He nodded: "You are right. I will pay attention."

Ge Dong didn't say anything else, his face was always light, as if he was just mentioning it casually and carelessly.

And with such a move, Sifan Lou's encouragement to go tandem skating was gently dismissed as if it had never happened.

Xiaoyan Fang bought a drink and said her friend had just called to ask her to go out.

She handed the drink to Ge Dong, who nodded and thanked her, and walked away with her suitcase.

After Xiaoyan Fang also left, Changsheng He stroked his chin and ruminated on Ge Dong's words.

He said to himself, "I wonder why Yan Xiao is always off her game these days. ...... It seems like you're present every time she wanders off and misses."

After failing to convince Ge Dong, Sifan Lou, who was already a bit restless, heard Changsheng He say, "What does it have to do with me?"

Changsheng He : "I think Yan Xiao likes you a little bit."

Sifan Lou : "Where is it?"

Changsheng He said, "I'm not stupid, she's not even looking at you right."

Sifan Lou became more anxious and blurted out, "Don't get me wrong, I don't want her to like me."

Changsheng He immediately felt that this was not right: "Then why are you so nice to her? You bought drinks and unscrewed bottle caps for her, and even said you would pay her back, why wouldn't she think more about it?"

Sifan Lou : "I-"

He couldn't say it.

And what can he say?

After all, Changsheng He doesn't look like a faggot in every way, especially when he dances with his partner Xiaoyan Fang, who has a beautiful look of infatuation in his eyes that makes Sifan Lou swoon just by looking at him from afar.

Although Changsheng He said many times that it was a performance and he and Xiaoyan Fang were simply partners, and he was not used to Xiaoyan Fang's familiarity and Xiaoyan Fang did not like his mumbling after he came off the stage, the fact that the two of them would have intimate physical contact at all times was still hard for Sifan Lou to accept.

He may have approached Xiaoyan Fang intentionally and showed affection to him, but that was also because of Changsheng He.

Seeing Sifan Lou stammering, Changsheng He simply said, "In the future, you should come to her less often when training. Yan Xiao's conditions are very good, and she is at the prime of her development, if she can't concentrate on training, what will she do in the future?"

Sifan Lou's face turned wonderfully pale.

He couldn't say "I was looking for you", but tried to swallow his anger.

However, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became:

...... If Ge Dong hadn't mentioned the pair skating thing, how would Sheng Zhang have proposed to pull away from himself?

So why did he meddle with Ge Dong in the first place?

Ten or so minutes later.

Xiaochi Chi, who was settled in the dormitory, sat down on a bunk that had been made and sneered, "Heh, young man."

On the display panel, Sifan Lou's remorse value rose by another 3 or 4 points at a rate visible to the naked eye.

In Xiaochi Chi's opinion, the repentance value of Sifan Lou's fake saintly mother is really good to brush.

These people like to put themselves on the moral high ground all the time, and once things don't go the way these people expect, they will fiercely condemn and feel that their good intentions have been insulted and trampled upon.

Xiaochi Chi's usual choice for such self-righteous people is to step on them more than once.

061 didn't expect that Sifan Lou's regret value would rise so quickly just by spacing out his brain.

At this rate, Xiaochi Chi doesn't even need to redeem his time compression card, he just needs to tease Sifan Lou a few more times, and the world will be complete.

Who would have thought that just as the thought occurred to him, Xiaochi Chi made a lazy request, "Teacher Six, exchange it for an intermediate compression card."

061: "...... Intermediate?"

Xiaochi Chi asked, "Is there a problem?"

061 said, "...... After redeeming your card, you'll only have 6 points of remorse left."

And the key is that there is no need to redeem the card ah.

Xiaochi Chi said, "Mr. Six, I can add, subtract, multiply and divide within three digits without a calculator."

061: "But ......"

Xiaochi Chi leaned on the sun-scented bunk roll and interrupted his persuasion, "Teacher Six, can you guarantee that I won't encounter such a long process quest in future worlds? What should I do if the goodwill and remorse values of the target of that world's quest are as hard to swipe as Kai Zhou's?"

061: "......"

The phrase ...... translates as using Sifan Lou as a free ATM again.

However, with a little bit of deliberation, 061 finds that Xiaochi Chi seems to be referring to something else.

...... Did he find out that the Lord God was targeting him?

But before he could ask, Xiaochi Chi spoke up again.

"...... Also, this body can't be returned to Ge Dong right now."

Xiaochi Chi closed his eyes, as if he was talking about a rather insignificant matter, and his tone was very loose: "Don't forget what state Ge Dong was in before he died. He still needs someone to walk with him on the next part of the road."
