Tokyo's most affectionate

For example, there is a vertical shoe cabinet with several pairs of figure skates on it, ranging in size from small to large. They are obviously the shoes that Miki Baiyu has worn since she was a child, but she did not throw them away, but kept them instead.

There are some posters and photo frames on the wall, all of which are photos of Miki Shiraha wearing costumes in the past. Some are cute, some are beautiful.

The posters on the wall seem to show her growth trajectory.

After a while, Miki Baiyu walked back into the living room with a small tray in his hand, on which were two glasses of ice water, some biscuits and fruits.

When guests come to visit, tea should be prepared in advance no matter what.

If the friend is very good and is very familiar with your home, treating it like his own, and will go and get water when he wants to drink and find food when he is hungry, that is a different matter.

"Did you arrange these?"

Seeing her running to get water, Kurosawa Mitsuru was not surprised. Instead, after making eye contact with her, he asked curiously.

"My parents put it up... I wanted to tear it down, but he wouldn't let me."

Miki Baiyu shook his head and walked forward helplessly.

This apartment was not rented but purchased, after all, she used to participate in competitions and needed to travel everywhere.

“Why do you want to tear it down?”

Kurosawa Hikaru was just trying to find a topic to talk about, and was a little confused when he heard this reaction.

"Because I can't go back..."

Miki Baiyu put the tray on the table, turned around and looked at the poster on the wall, feeling a little melancholy.

That used to be her honor, but now even if she tried her best to return to the ice rink, she could not return to the front line because of her leg injury.

"Bai Yu, come here for a moment."

Seeing the look of disappointment on her face, Kurosawa Mitsuru didn't want to make her unhappy, so he thought for a moment and said.

"What's wrong."

Hearing this, Sanmu Baiyu was a little confused, but still walked over.

When she came closer, Kurosawa Mitsuru stretched out his arms, picked her up like a doll, and placed her on his lap to sit sideways.

"!"

This sudden leap into the air startled Miki Shiraha, even though she had been practicing figure skating since she was a child and was already accustomed to all kinds of jumps, she was still caught off guard and was startled.

"Senior, you are so strong."

When she came to her senses, she found herself sitting sideways on his lap, feeling a little surprised and shy.

"You are too light."

Kurosawa Hikaru responded, raising his right arm and placing it on her knees.

This is a fact. He feels that Miki Baiyu weighs only about 80 kilograms at most. No wonder he looks like he will fall down if the wind blows... However, with this body shape, he looks even lighter and more graceful on the ice rink.

Her legs were slender and graceful, with curves that came from dancing. Her skin was as white as jade, not the unhealthy paleness. Instead, it was like mutton-fat jade, and it was very white and attractive under the light.

This sudden action made Sanmu Baiyu's delicate body tense up and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Even though they are a couple, this posture and this action are embarrassing.

"You just said you can't go back, what did you mean?"

Kurosawa Hikaru gently stroked her knee, not thinking he was being naughty, and asked.

In fact, he knew very well that the Miki Baiyu he had known so far was in a low period, like a pearl covered in dust.

She is very sensitive and even has low self-esteem. What's more, she feels that she is not the same person now as she was before.

Even though she still loves figure skating as always, she can't shine like she did in previous competition videos.

"The competition field... I thought that if I worked hard enough, I could compete again. But that was not the case. Even after several years of recovery, I could not train very intensely because of my old injury. Now I can't even get back to the level before retirement. Players of the same age have completely left me behind."

When it comes to skating and regrets, Miki Baiyu looked down and saw him massaging his injured knee. Her shyness was washed away, and was replaced by an indescribable helplessness and loss.

The days when she was ahead of all her peers, even those from skating powerhouses, are over.

She doesn't even have the qualifications to work hard... Even though she likes to go to the skating rink every day, the same is true for the active players on the front line.

There will be a figure skating competition soon. It’s a small-scale competition, but even for a small competition, she doesn’t even have confidence.

"Do you want to go back?"

Kurosawa Mitsuru saw her with her head down, looking extremely lonely, and after pondering for a moment, he asked.

Chapter 430 I'll Help You Win the Championship

"Of course I do. I really want to compete on the ice with athletes from all over the country, and even the world, just like before."

Sanmu Baiyu didn't need to hesitate or hesitate about this question, and blurted out the hope in his heart.

"But what's the point of thinking about it? I can't compete with my former opponents now... What's more, I can't even stand on the same stage with them."

Maybe it was because sitting in his arms made her feel safe and warm, as if she had walked into a safe haven. The bitterness and grievance in Miki Baiyu's heart could not be stopped from flowing out, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

She tried really hard, but due to her leg injury, she couldn't train as hard as before.

She really wanted to be like before, facing one difficult move after another, mastering it through constant practice, and finally presenting it on stage so that the audience could cheer for her.

She had been to the top of the mountain and seen the incomparable scenery, which was the most beautiful scenery in the world...but she knew better than anyone how difficult the climb was.

Every contestant has put in unimaginable effort and sweat to be able to stand on the highest level stage.

"If you want it to work, it will work."

Seeing her loneliness and grievance turned into words, Kurosawa Hikaru's left hand gently lifted her fingertips, supported her palm, and rested it on her thigh.

He could feel that the twilight trough of Miki Baiyu, which had been buried by strength and love, had broken out of the ground.

He could imagine the scene of Miki Baiyu, who had retired due to injury, being alone and sad in the dead of night.

"Uh-huh."

Miki Baiyu felt his movement, looked down at the hand he was holding in his palm, raised her right hand and wiped away her tears, not wanting to continue crying in front of him.

This was her second date with her senior, and she didn't want it to be ruined by such a sad thing.

In fact, she knew that for many things in this world, it was useless to just think about them.

Once missed, it’s missed... She wanted to be completely ahead of her peers, but she failed in her attempt at a quadruple jump and has since been left with an irreversible injury.

After a complete rest for a few years, she did return to the ice rink, but she could no longer train as intensely as a professional player.

It was because of this incident that she learned a lesson, which is to cherish the present and seize opportunities.

"Would you rather stand on the same stage and compete with players from all over the world, or would you rather stand on the ice and have the whole audience cheer for you?"

Seeing that she had stopped crying, Kurosawa Mitsuru asked again before he finished speaking.

"I think I will go back one day."

Finding that he had not given up yet, Miki Baiyu cheered up, turned around and looked at him, clenched his free right hand into a fist and waved it, looking very energetic, to show that he was fine.

"Okay, I'll help you get back to the arena."

In response to this, Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded heavily as if he had made up his mind.

"help me?"

Miki Baiyu looked at him with some confusion.

What does this mean? Wasn't the senior comforting her just now?

"Bai Yu, do you want to practice pair figure skating with me?"

Facing her puzzled look, Kurosawa Mitsuru smiled and asked.

"?"

Miki Baiyu widened his eyes and tilted his head to look at him, confused by the suggestion.

"Although I can massage you and you can soak your feet to relieve the pain in your legs, so you can stay on the ice longer and practice longer. But to be honest, it's hard to win the championship because you have had a leg injury and you have been out of the game for a few years."

Seeing that she hadn't reacted yet, Kurosawa Mitsuru simply laid out the matter and made it clear.

No matter what field you are in, it is very difficult to be the best.

Even if Bai Yu's leg injury can be completely healed, it will be difficult for her to win the championship again, because she has a few years of gap period. During such a long time, she has to recover from the injury and cannot maintain her competitive state.

What's more, her leg injury cannot be restored to its original state.

"I know."

The cruel truth was revealed, Miki Baiyu's expression froze, he lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

She once fantasized about recuperating for a few years, making a comeback, and dominating the competition.

But in fact, after she was admitted to university, no matter how much she practiced, her level was not as good as before.

Although her mother had promised her that she would let her skate again as long as she got into a good university...she also decided that her competitive level was definitely not good enough and was unwilling to serve as her coach.

Now, when she is training, she wants to find out what is wrong with her movements and what needs to be improved, so she needs to buy a SLR to record videos.

Without a coach, during the window period, and with old injuries, it would be difficult to even get a good ranking, let alone win the championship.

"So come practice pair figure skating with me, I can help you win the championship."

Kurosawa Mitsuru pointed this out and invited him again.

"Senior, the difficulty of winning the championship in pair skating is similar to that of single skating, or even more difficult. Because pair skating requires tacit understanding and cooperation, and requires a good partner. Players who have achieved good rankings in pair skating usually practice together since childhood and constantly run in with each other."

Miki Baiyu didn't understand why he came to such a conclusion. After being stunned, he explained it to him.

Senior, you don't think it's easy to win the pairs skating championship, right?

"I know that, but I also know that pair figure skating doesn't require as many single jumps, so it puts less pressure on your knees."

Kurosawa Mitsuru nodded slightly, naturally understanding what was going on.

"Since you know this, why don't you..."

Miki Baiyu looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

To be honest, she was a little angry because the senior's words looked down on figure skating.

However, when she saw the handsome face of her senior, she couldn't get angry.

He must have his reasons for saying that, right?

"Would you like to give it a try first? Come skate in pairs with me."

Kurosawa Hikaru realized that she didn't believe him, so he didn't argue with her, but asked.

He knew that his figure skating level was not high in Bai Yu's eyes. After all, all his figure skating moves were taught by her.

However, he is absolutely confident in his skating skills.

With the two entry-level skills of skating and ballet, as long as he wants to learn, he can become a figure skating master in a short period of time.

This is still the entry-level stage. If his skills are further upgraded and both items reach the proficient level, he will be confident that he can win even the world championship in single figure skating.

Because mastery-level skills are equivalent to a level that a genius can only achieve after a lifetime of hard work.

As long as he can get skating skills to the master level, he will be sure to lead Miki Shiraha to the championship.

"Okay."

Although Miki Baiyu felt that his proposal was unrealistic, she was deeply moved when she thought of walking onto the ice rink with her senior to participate in the pair skating competition.

Putting aside the slim chance of winning, she and her senior would have more time and opportunities to be together if they practiced pair skating together.

And it is different from single skating, because in order to cooperate well, a lot of practice is required, and there will be a lot of interaction between them.

You know, during pair skating, there will be a lot of physical contact.

As she was daydreaming, the system's voice rang in Kurosawa Hikaru's ears:

"new task."

Then, scenes appeared before his eyes.
