Yong Ze's explanation did not calm down Gu Miaomiao who was in a fit of anger, but instead added fuel to the fire.

In fact, Shen Jingchuan was also a little angry about the fact that his cabbage was kicked by a pig...a lion, but because there was a Gu Miaomiao next to him who was more excited than him, he was more afraid of Gu Miaomiao running away than being angry. Find a knife.

"What happened?"

Gu Qizhou and Yu Lan in the room also heard the commotion outside, and hurried out to check.

I thought that something happened to Yoyo, but when I took a closer look, among the four people present, the only one who was the least calm was the one whose arms were raised from behind by Shen Jingchuan. Wonderful.

Gu Qizhou & Yu Lan: …………?

"Dad—!" Seeing Gu Qizhou coming out, the angry Gu Miaomiao immediately found her ally and shouted indignantly, "Yong Ze actually dares to #￥%%￥%@..."

The next words were covered by Shen Jingchuan.

"It's nothing." Shen Jingchuan explained calmly, "It's too late for them to play outside. Yongze sent Yoyo back."

"Oh……"

Gu Qizhou looked at the excited Gu Miaomiao with some doubts, but still said to Yong Ze:

"I've troubled Ozawa, you'll pick it up again."

Yong Ze bowed slightly and said modestly:

"You're welcome, uncle, I should do it."

Gu Qizhou: ?

Why does this sound a little wrong? ?

However, these two people have been in this way of getting along since they were young. Maybe others will think more at first glance, but after so many years, Gu Qizhou and Yu Lan are like frogs boiled in warm water. Even if Yongze picks the stars in the sky, they both feel reasonable.

What's more, most of the time, it's the overly enthusiastic little girl in his family who takes the initiative to pester others.

"...It's not too early. You guys are playing around and check the time. Don't be too late."

Over the years, Gu Qizhou's career has reached a new peak, but his busy work time is decreasing day by day. Instead of watching these children quarrel and quarrel, he might as well go back and study with Yu Lan about Europe next month. Where to go.

After the couple left, Shen Jingchuan released his hand covering Gu Miaomiao's mouth.

"Okay." She broke free from the shackles of Shen Jingchuan, and looked at him with a smile, "I have internal and external enemies, I have to strangle you before I shark Yongze."

Shen Jingchuan: "...Then you have to wait for me to finish speaking later before strangling me."

After all, Shen Jingchuan is calmer than Gu Miaomiao.

Although he didn't want to watch his sister be kidnapped by a dog man outside, she had to experience love sooner or later, and compared to someone she didn't know outside, Yong Ze was obviously much more reliable.

Seeing that her sister's beautiful first love was about to be violently kicked to death by Gu Miaomiao, Shen Jingchuan couldn't bear it.

Seeing that her brother and sister went back to whisper, before leaving, her brother instructed her to hurry back after she finished speaking.

Bewildered, Yoyo watched the two go home first, then looked back at Yongze.

The ends of the boy's hair were blown by the wind, and his clothes squeaked in the night wind.

Yoyo took a second look, and unconsciously reached out and touched his forehead.

Yong Ze bent his lips:

"It's getting late, go back to sleep."

His voice was unbelievably softer than usual.

Ringing in her ears, she felt her whole body become light and fluffy, like a ball of soft cotton.

Yoyo looks like she was bewitched by someone, so she can't even speak, so she nodded obediently, then turned around and went back to the room with hands and feet.

After she took a shower, dried her hair, and buried her whole body in the soft bed, she realized later—

It was a kiss.

It was a kiss from Brother Yongze.

In an instant, although there was no one around, Yoyo blushed again, embarrassed to bury her whole head in the soft pillow, grinning and snickering alone.

It wasn't until she rolled twice on the bed holding the pillow that her frantically throbbing heart stopped a little.

The tulle curtains, which were not drawn tightly, revealed a gap.

Yoyo stretched out her eyes from under the quilt, looking in that direction expectantly and timidly.

At the end of the line of sight, there is another window that faintly shines through.

He's over there.

This night, Yoyo even turned down the air conditioner several degrees, like a shrimp on a hot pot, and fell asleep hot.

Under a bright moon, the moonlight covered countless dreams.

However, in Yong Ze's dream, there was no such quiet beauty.

The summer sunset glows like a blazing fire, burning all the way from the sky to the world.

The entire forest was immersed in the karmic fire of hell that could burn everything. He lay on the ground and was slowly dragged away by people who bound his hands and feet.

What was imprinted in his eyes was the look of a girl who was at a loss.

The next morning, Yoyo prepared to go to school with Yong Ze as usual.

"Sorry, Miss Gu."

The giraffe driver who drove Yongze apologetically explained:

"Ozawa seems to have some urgent matters to deal with. He may not come to school during this time. If you want to go to school, I can send you..."

"no, I'm fine."

Originally, she wanted to go to school with Yong Ze, so she took his car. Since Yong Ze was not around, how could she be so embarrassed to use Yong Ze's driver?

only……

Usually even if there is an emergency, he will call her.

Yoyo turned on the phone, only to see a brief message from Yongze:

【I have something to do, see you when you are done】

"..."

I don't know if it is because of the contrast with yesterday's gentleness and patience, so this short message, which is no different from usual, is particularly cold and ruthless in Yoyo's eyes.

...can't you just call me?

Yo Yo, looking at the message time at 3:00 AM, always feel a little weird.

But the World Youth Championship was just around the corner, and she only cared about it for a while, and it didn't take long before she was deprived of all rest time by the heavy training pressure.

The full name of the World Youth Championships is the World Youth Figure Skating Championships. This time, it is not a domestic competition in the past, but an opportunity to enter the world stage and compete with the top players of figure skating powers.

And each country has a limited number of places to participate. According to the previous domestic results, this time there are two places.

One of them has Yoyo.

Occupying such an important quota, he is about to represent the country to go abroad to fight. Although Yoyo is also a quota obtained by participating in domestic competitions, but because of this, if you make a mistake, it is equivalent to wasting such an important quota.

This is a lot of pressure.

Especially Yoyo has a family that attracts much attention.

Needless to say, Gu Qizhou and Yu Lan have been proudly cheering her on Weibo for a long time. Grandpa Gu Hongjun and grandma even hired top foreign coaches for her before the season, in order to keep an eye on her development. Guan, there are four or five nutritionists around her at any time.

Under such airtight protection, although Yoyo was indeed encouraged to a certain extent, the pressure was getting heavier and heavier.

Occasionally, she has nightmares, and she will return to those strange dreams when she was a child.

In the dream, she did all her bad things, was arrogant and vicious, no one liked her, and she was hostile to everyone.

When she woke up from the nightmare, Yoyo was so aggrieved that she cried, and called her sister to ask her if everyone would like her if she didn't get a good ranking.

Of course, Gu Miaomiao scolded her as a idiot.

"—Who likes you because of this?"

she said so.

Yoyo seemed a little relieved, and asked again:

"Then, why do you like me?"

She was a little expectantly waiting to hear Gu Miaomiao's answer.

As a result, Shen Jingchuan's voice came from the other end of the phone, and he calmly replied:

"Because you're stupid."

Gu Miaomiao agrees and agrees: "That's right."

YoYo:"……"

What's with this subtle feeling of being comforted and yet not being comforted?

But despite a series of twists and turns, even if she lost a lot of hair due to the stress on the way, even if she gave up on her own and ate a fried chicken on the way and was dragged out of the store by the coach, even if she died Qingsai did not contact Yongze again that day——

Because of the company of her family, when Yoyo stood on the ice rink, her mentality returned to a normal state without any risk.

She was wearing a new figure skating suit customized for her by Gu Hongjun. Like every important competition in the past, other people's more expensive figure skating suits were at most Swarovski rhinestones, but hers were real diamonds.

The lights in the arena hit the tall and straight girl, like a shining little fairy with a fairy spirit.

Fans who broadcast the World Youth Championship in China saw this scene, and they were so excited that they praised the girl's beautiful temperament and looked forward to the girl's first test in the international competition.

The girl took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

She knew she was calm enough and knew she was ready.

only

Before entering the field, Yoyo suddenly raised her head and looked around at the stands of the ice rink.

This obvious distraction made the coach almost take out the quick-acting heart-saving pill in his arms.

The audience in front of the TV were also blinded by her sight.

...at this time, what is she looking for! ?

"what."

Yoyo whispered in a voice that only she could hear, her pupils dilated slightly.

found it.

On the crowded stand, in an inadvertent corner, she seemed to be sensing something, and at a glance, she saw a boy wearing a peaked cap and a black sweater.

Just as the corners of her lips were about to rise, the announcement of the game sounded.

- She should play.

Sitting in the corner, Yong Ze quietly looked at the girl in the center of the ice rink.

Over the years, he has hardly missed important matches for girls, and this time is naturally the same.

But at this time, his mood was very different from every time before.

The girl on the field has slender limbs and dances lightly with the music. She has a light body and an elegant posture, which is pleasing to the eye even for a layman.

But what Yongze saw was her day after day, a arduous journey that was completely different from that of all the girls in the flower season.

The little girl who would cry because of wrestling when she was a child will no longer cry because of wrestling.

The little girl who occasionally showed lonely eyes when she was a child, now her eyes are so gentle and firm.

He watched her growth step by step, no one knew better than him the difference between her and the girl in the dream.

At the same time, the girl on the ice rink made a difficult quad jump that caught the attention of the audience.

The whole place is boiling!

Even a layman who doesn't understand the figure skating competition can hear the extraordinary performance from the audience's reaction and the tone of the commentator.

The music is progressive, and the difficulty is still rising.

With the appearance of the second quadruple hook, the savvy viewers are convinced that this player named Gu Youyou has been firmly in the top three in this year's World Youth Championship. If you are bolder, there is no hope of winning the silver medal. of!

The song "Jasmine" ends slowly.

An elegant finish that presents a flawless performance.

When she raised her head again, amid the applause, her eyes subconsciously fell on a corner of the stand.

No.

She stood blankly on the empty ice rink, a little bit lost.

Until she stood on the podium wearing the national flag with a silver medal hanging on her chest, her mind still didn't come back to her senses.

"Yoyo-! I really didn't read it wrong!!!"

With tears in her eyes, Coach Yin was the first to jump up and hug her.

One can imagine how difficult it is to win such a precious silver medal among the four major powers in figure skating.

Yoyo was like a mascot, and since she stepped off the podium, she was hugged by countless people, touching her head and shaking hands. Strange or familiar people passed by in front of her eyes. Always a bit empty.

No.

——Her brother Yongze did not come to congratulate her.

Gu Qizhou drove the whole way beamingly and sent his family to the high-end restaurant he had ordered to celebrate, but Yoyo kept looking out of the window.

"……what is that?"

When passing by Times Square in New York, Gu Miaomiao suddenly caught a glimpse of the giant screen above at the intersection of Broadway and Seventh Avenue.

——The above looped playback is Yoyo's wonderful performance at the World Youth Championship today, and the clip when she stood on the podium.

"Um, why are you showing Yoyo's picture??"

The whole family who saw this situation got out of the car in astonishment and stood by the street looking at the shining girl on the giant screen in amazement.

Not only them, because of the World Youth Championship, many pedestrians stopped and looked up.

Looking up at the dazzling young girl on the ice rink.

"Yo-yo... what's going on? Yo-yo...?"

Shen Jingchuan retracted his astonished gaze and looked back——

Everyone is looking at the people on the giant screen, and the people on the giant screen are standing at the crowded intersection, looking around alone.

Looking for someone who is not here.
