Chapter 96 Trying to Get on the Podium
Gu Qingrong's face did not swell any more, but it was red, like sensitive, and his whole face was slightly swollen.
There are two bodyguards guarding the door. As Gu Qingrong went in for too long, they were suspicious.
So, the two bodyguards rushed in uniformly.
It happened that someone was urinating in the urinal outside when suddenly two tall men broke in and flew straight with fright.
"You, who are you?" The men were busy pulling up their trousers.
Make sure Gu Qingrong didn't leave the toilet, and the two bodyguards knocked on the door panels one by one in tandem, causing people who were going to the toilet to cry out for dissatisfaction.
The men who were disturbed to urinate saw that they didn't reply to themselves, so they couldn't swallow this tone and rushed forward to stop the two bodyguards.
After a while, there was a scuffle in the toilet.
Once passed, he opened the door panel and looked out. Seeing this good opportunity, he took Gu Qingrong and ran out of the men's room.
In any case, Gu Qingrong today must go up to receive the award.
However, his face is not good now. Once he goes up, he will be found to be strange, and then he will be misunderstood. In anticipation of a series of subsequent events, he felt a headache.
Zeng passed and took Gu Qingrong to a small room on the ice rink.
There are a lot of sundries in the small room. Although it is old and the white wall has not been painted for a long time, the articles are placed neatly, as if people often come to clean them up.
Looking at the picture in front of me, I remembered when I first met Gu Qingrong in the storage room of the ice rink and discovered his secret.
At that time, out of curiosity, she wanted to know why his face became like that, and why he suddenly hid there to eat.
With the understanding of him, it made her feel more and more distressed.
"You stay here now, don't run around, I'll find some ice cubes to apply to you." Zeng passed to bring him in, closed the door and told her.
Gu Qingrong found a place to sit down. There are several big desks in front of him, which can just block his whole body.
After settling down, Zeng passed and was about to go out when he suddenly stopped him.
"Hmm?" She turned her head, suspicious.
She could feel that the boy's hands trembled slightly, his lips were dry and white, his brows were frowned and his expression was deep.
"Come back as soon as possible." The word "come back" was bitten heavily by him.
Once passed silently, his eyes were tightly fixed on his face. After a few seconds, he replied, "Good."

When Zeng passed back to the small room, he had an ice cube and a scarf in his hand.
I bought it in the canteen.
On the way by, she nearly met the two bodyguards who were looking for Gu Qingrong. She came back here only after hiding in Tibet.
After getting into the room, he locked the door, immediately came to Gu Qingrong's side, squatted down, wrapped the ice cubes with a scarf, and then rolled gently on his face.
In the last competition, he met him again with swollen face. When they came to the hotel, she accidentally saw the snow falling outside the window, thinking about trying to apply ice cubes to his face to relieve the swelling, but she didn't expect the follow-up to be effective.
This time, she also used this method.
Gu Qingrong looked up and looked at the girl in front of him.
The girl is carefully applying ice to his face. The distance is very close. He can clearly see her long eyelashes, like a feather fan, which is very gentle and covers her eyelids. The eyebrow eye is curved and the eye shape is very long, winding until the end of the eye is slightly tilted.
The heart beating rapidly due to tension seems to slowly return to calm at this moment and beat slightly regularly.
Very gentle, also very calm, just like the two people at this time.
Xu was aware of the scorching eyes of the boys and raised his eyes.
At that time, the two men looked at each other and fell into each other's eyes.
The pupil was dark and clear, round, and the small pear vortex at the corners of the mouth gradually sank. Gu Qingrong felt as if pink bubbles were rising around him.
Zeng passed and smiled: "What's the matter? Look at me like this?"
Gu Qingrong looked her in the eye and asked, "Did you tell Coach Zhou Xin before that we would break up?"
She paused, panicked for a moment, and nodded.
"Why?"
"How did you forget? The relationship between us is fake, just to cure you without being noticed. No matter how this relationship ends, it must be separated." She seems to be very calm.
"If I say..." he grabbed her other hand suddenly, his eyes bright, "we can go on like this, you..."
He suddenly dared not go on.
He didn't know what she meant, whether she wanted to continue with him, or just to cure him, and didn't want to continue as a couple.
I expected him to go on, but he never said it.
There was a loss in her heart, and she stopped talking.
The two men were so silent.
With the ice compress, Gu Qingrong's face slowly returned to normal, and he was no longer too nervous and excited emotionally.
The ice cubes in her hands gradually melted. After holding them for a long time, her palm was red with ice and very cold.
"Let's go back quickly." Once passed away the scarf, stood up and said.
*
As soon as they opened the door and were about to go out, a man suddenly stood at the door.
Both of them froze.
That man is not Zhou Xin, nor is he a bodyguard, nor is he the organizer, but... Fan Sisi.
Two people suddenly opened the door and scared her. She took a step back and realized something. The camera in her hand was busy hiding behind her.
He frowned and looked unhappy: "What did you take?"
"No, nothing." Fan Sisi faltered.
After passing, I naturally didn't believe her and wanted her camera to see her, but I felt that doing so violated other people's privacy.
"What are you doing here?" I stared at her for a while.
I don't know why, at this time, I was very nervous and my voice was very cold, which was quite different from usual.
It scared her a little.
Fan Sisi looked relaxed and smiled: "Coach Zhou Xin has been looking for you. I happened to come here and heard someone in this room. I thought it was someone. I wanted to knock at the door and see, but you came out."
In the end, she asked, "By the way, what are you doing here? The award-winning session is about to begin."
While the two of them were speaking, Gu Qingrong stood behind Zeng passed, and her sight inadvertently fell on her little hand flushed with ice, and her eyebrows frowned gently.
He stepped forward, grabbed her frozen red hand, wrapped it all, and rubbed it to relieve her freezing feeling.
I looked back at him and wondered.
Gu Qingrong looked at Fan Sisi: "Thank you."
Later, he took Zeng Shao and left the same place.
The award-winning process has already begun, and the winning athletes have been standing on the podium one after another.
Zhou Xin has been waiting anxiously beside him, not forgetting to scold the two bodyguards.
The bodyguard was strong, but in front of Zhou Xin, he looked like a child who had done something wrong and let him abuse him.
At the end of the day, it was also the two men who escaped and disappeared that brought trouble to the two bodyguards.
Gu Qingrong stepped forward and loosened his hand: "Coach."
Zhou Xinru, as a rescued star, suddenly turned around and saw him standing in front of him intact, angry and annoyed.
"Too late, go! Come on stage!" Zhou Xin called him.
Gu Qingrong turned around and looked at the podium. His footsteps seemed as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Once upon a time, the podium was already a place where he did not dare to climb.
Every time, again and again, tension and excitement filled him. He could not control himself and let himself stand on it normally to welcome others' praise and flowers.
Just like before every night, my mind rehearses again and again what to say when I achieve achievements, win trophies and face my mother.
Should I hug her first, or should I ask her first, why didn't I come back later?
Is it because he grew up and didn't need her or because he didn't do well enough and didn't get her attention?
Or, do you have a new family and all your energy has been put into the new family, so...
Don't want him?
The organizers have already greeted him in front of the podium, telling him to hurry up and don't waste time.
Other athletes are watching him, even the audience who has not yet dispersed is watching him.
"Gu Qingrong." Seeing that he was still in a daze, he hurried forward.
Gu Qingrong turned back.
Her eyes were firm and she said, "Come on."
So.
He finally had the courage to take that step and step slowly and slowly towards the podium.
Maybe, try to give yourself a try and witness something new.
Just as he thought, if he really saw his mother, and her mother did not come back to see him for the sake of a new family, then... when he grew up, he should also try to accept these new things.
Although, these new things are very heavy, very heavy for him.
