Co-training, roommates, digging your own grave.

At first, Lou Sifan didn't think much of it.

He Zhangsheng's character he understands, handed him a task, he said to do it will be done, not the slightest discount.

Sure enough, on Monday, Dong Ge, who was supposed to go to training, called in sick.

After the morning training, Lou Sifan went to see He Zhangsheng and asked Dong Ge what was wrong.

He Zhangsheng was also surprised: "He took a leave of absence?"

Lou Sifan said, "He turned in his leave and a diagnostic, saying he twisted his right foot when he came home this Friday."

He Zhangsheng said, "No, I even took him to practice throwing jumps on Saturday."

When Lou Sifan heard this, he knew what to expect.

He laughed, "Really, silly boy, why lie about it. Did you fall while practicing?"

He Zhangsheng thought of the teenager's reddened eyes and bloodless lips.

"But I don't want anyone to know ......"

...... Did he hurt himself in the jump throw?

On the matter of lying, He Zhangsheng is not an expert, so he avoided answering: "I'll go see him."

And in Lou Sifan's view, that's tantamount to acquiescing to his own claims.

He put on his shirt, "I'll go with you."

When they knocked on the door of Dong Ge's room, Dong Ge was lying on the bed reading a book, and when he saw them coming in, he just nodded his head in a cool and uninterested manner.

Lou Sifan went to his bedside: "Dong Ge, we brought the sick man's food. Is your foot okay?"

He tucked his right foot under the covers, "Okay, minor injury."

Lou Sifan says, "Don't take it personally. For those of us who eat our food, our legs and feet are second only to life."

With that, he turned his head to seek He Zhangsheng's approval, "Zhangsheng, do you think so?"

He Zhangsheng looked at Dong Ge's face, "...... Well."

Lou Sifan reached out to remove his covers, "Let Senpai see if the injury is serious."

His fingertips brushed against Dong Ge's little toe, which was exposed under the covers, and Dong Ge nearly jumped out of bed in shock, revealing his ankle and wrist injuries.

--This kind of minor training injury is really nothing for an athlete who practices skating and is out of season, a couple days of rest and you're good to go.

Lou Sifan was sorry to see this.

Noticing Dong Ge's colorful face, He Zhangsheng was a bit annoyed: "Lou, she is injured, don't touch her."

Lou Sifan immediately apologized with a good-natured, "Is everything okay?"

Dong Ge was silent.

Lou Sifan laughed inwardly.

...... It seems that his observation was not wrong, Dong Ge indeed can not contact with others like normal people.

Now, Dong Ge's overreaction to the touch further confirms his suspicions.

--He's afraid of that.

Once exposed, he is mildly offended and his play is affected.

The injury on his ankle is hard evidence of that.

This mental illness can be hard to cure, if it's put to good use before he plays ......

From Dong Ge's point of view, Lou Sifan's gaze is overzealous.

Chi Xiaochi asked 061: "What scraps are spinning in his head again."

061 looked at the regret value that had risen by a thread, "Probably regretting that he didn't realize your weakness earlier."

Chi Xiaochi voiced his opinion dryly and loudly, "Fu......"

061: "......"

In the past two days, Chi Xiaochi began to worry that if he shared a body with Dong Ge and had no control over his mouth, if he turned her into a little social brat, he would have committed a great sin.

That's why 061, who was recently honored with the position of Director of Instruction, had to start taking charge of correcting this problem of his.

061: "...... cough."

Chi Xiaochi reacted quickly, "Fortune, fortune."

061 narrowly failed to stifle a laugh.

But almost simultaneously, he sensed a slight fluctuation in the data stream.

...... Seems like one person was amused.

And that wave was so close that it happened inside Dong Ge's body.

The fluctuation was extremely slight, mixed in with the hundreds of millions of megabytes of information streams that 061 received in a second, like an illusion that couldn't have been more fleeting.

Of course he thought he was hallucinating.

However, 061 captured a scrap from a bewildering database.

...... It seems like a long time ago, when serving other hosts, he also happened to receive such a flow of information.

But in the fragmented data segments that were so thin as to be nearly non-existent, he heard not the sound of stifled laughter, but rather sobs of utter despair.

Chi Xiaochi, of course, receives no such signals.

He's matching Lou Sifan's performance.

Lou Sifan said, "It seems that you and Zhangsheng are still not getting along well, so I'll take care of your pair training from now on."

He Zhangsheng, who was on the side, suddenly interjected, "Brother Lou, didn't you say that I should take him."

Lou Sifan was a bit surprised and turned his head to look at He Zhangsheng.

He Zhangsheng is guilty of hurting Dong Ge, and of sharing his secret with Dong Ge, so of course he won't hand Dong Ge over to anyone else: "We can take our time if we don't get along well, but I'm more experienced in duo training."

Lou Sifan actually wasn't too happy about it, "It's too much trouble."

He Zhangsheng said, "I am a senior and this is what I should do."

He Zhangsheng is really not accustomed to lying, said back to Dong Ge and Lou Sifan, collarbones are red.

To ease the embarrassment, he began to take the sick food out of the thermos, vegetable ball soup, dried shrimp and cabbage, and sauteed pork with shiitake mushrooms and scallops, and set the table in a hot mess.

His back was turned to the two men, but his words were addressed to Dong Ge, "I'll be careful next time I train."

To match Lou Sifan, Dong Ge, out of He Zhangsheng's sight, gave expressions of "fear", "disgust", and "double training is the worst", in descending order. The expression of "fear", "disgust" and "double training is the most annoying" were shown in turn.

Lou Sifan really let his guard down and smiled, "Then I'll leave little Dong Ge to you."

He Zhangsheng fiddled with the dishes, "...... hmm."

Dong Ge did give it to him.

In his spare time between training and classes, He Zhangsheng started to come to the men's singles training ground.

He's not a cell phone person and only stands on the sidelines with his backpack to watch practice or sits and draws rough sketches for his choreography assignments.

I don't know why, but watching Dong Ge train always inspired him.

A poke to the sidelines with such a red lip is a sight to behold.

He Zhangsheng's reputation as a beauty is no less than Dong Ge's, and the fact that he's on the sidelines at all hours of the day and night makes him a real eye-catcher.

The women's singles were coaxing next door, "He handsome, who are you waiting for. Come here if you're waiting for your girlfriend."

He Zhangsheng put down his pen and said bluntly, "I will wait for Dong Ge."

Dong Ge in the arena vaguely heard his name and turned his head to look at He Zhangsheng, smoothly ruffling his sweaty forehead hair up.

He Zhangsheng nodded at him and continued to draw quietly.

The outlines traced on the paper by the carbon pencil are unconsciously becoming more and more like Dong Ge.

Whether familiar or not, He Zhangsheng is the one with an affectionate face but no love, so when he says he's training with Dong Ge, he's really training.

Even if the two of them were cuddling together, it would be hard for onlookers to detect any ambiguous feelings, because their conversation was really boring and monotonous to the extreme.

"Again?"

"Again."

"Take a break."

"Are you tired."

"I'm fine with that."

"That's fine with me."

If there was any difference from the old days, it was probably the fact that the two would always wear gloves, one black and one white, one blue and one red, interlocked.

Both hands were slim and strong, with delicate fingers that didn't diminish any of their beauty, even when clasped together through their gloves.

Lou Sifan was getting the feeling that something was wrong.

He Zhangsheng and his two-person trip, but gradually inserted a third person, and this person's presence is getting stronger and stronger, to the point that he can not be ignored.

The topics they talked about included "Dong Ge's technical movements", "Dong Ge's stage performance", and even "Dong Ge seems to like this dish". Even "Dong Ge seems to like this dish", "This knee brace is good, bring one to Dong Ge".

And his plan did not have the desired effect.

Dong Ge is still the same Dong Ge who rejects everyone, and his aura is so strong that coaches will unconsciously stay away from him.

If he had deliberately made a move on Dong Ge against this background, it would have been out of place.

Worst of all, Dong Ge's "lack of coordination" has been made up for by He Zhangsheng.

One day, he went to the dormitory to look for He Zhangsheng, but after entering the dormitory, he accidentally met Dong Ge, who was carrying a basin and wearing shorts and an undershirt.

Dong Ge, with his electric toothbrush in his mouth and no way to greet him, simply nodded to him and then went into the washroom with a cat's back.

Lou Sifan was so surprised that he stared at his back for a moment and asked He Zhangsheng, who was doing his homework, "Why is he here?"

When he heard this question, He Zhangsheng was even more surprised than he was: "You're here too, why can't he be here."

When did ...... Dong Ge become comparable to himself?

Lou Sifan tried to say something, and his eyes flicked to shock.

He Zhangsheng The empty bedpan in his room was surprisingly supplemented with a set of bedding.

He said incredulously, "Zhangsheng, who lives in?"

In fact, he already had a vague answer in his heart, but he really didn't dare to accept it, nor could he.

He Zhangsheng said, "Dong Ge ah."

Lou Sifan : "......"

In fact, it was Dong Ge's dormitory that was going to transfer a new person into the dormitory. When He Zhangsheng heard about it, he talked to Dong Ge and asked him to move to his own house, knowing his difficulties and avoiding suspicion.

But He Zhangsheng thought about it and felt that it involved a secret between him and Dong Ge, so he didn't intend to explain too much to Lou Sifan.

Lou Sifan felt like he'd been slapped head-on a dozen times, and as his cheeks burned and his head and ears tingled, an unprecedented wave of anger welled up from the bottom of his heart that he simply couldn't control: "I thought ...... you didn't want to live with anyone else?"

He Zhangsheng felt that Lou Sifan's fire was a bit inexplicable, looked up at him and said, "Dong Ge is different."

Lou Sifan paced back and forth a few times, but couldn't suppress his agitation at all, "What's different about him? Hmm?"

He Zhangsheng frowned slightly, "Lou, what are you doing. I'm just choosing a roommate."

Lou Sifan realized that something was wrong, and his boiling emotions were doused with cold water and drowned in smoke.

Yeah, Zhangsheng, he doesn't necessarily like men either. In his mind, he just picked a roommate.

Thinking about it this way, his anger was truly unjustified.

After several attempts, Lou Sifan finally suppressed his turbulent feelings, "Sorry, Zhangsheng, I'm not in a good mood today."

He Zhangsheng certainly wouldn't countenance such trivialities.

He lowered his head and continued with his homework.

Lou Sifan turned to the lavatory, his gaze a mixture of resignation, bewilderment, and undisguised jealousy.

And in the washroom, Chi Xiaochi fumbled to cash his card, "Mr. Six, hurry, hurry, hurry, if you don't hurry Lou Sifan's remorse value is going to be full."

061: "......" In all his years in the system, this is the first time he's heard such a refreshing statement.
