[Competitive Sports/Figure Skating/Childhood Friends/Mutual Secret Crush]
At thirteen, one spring, Li Li looked up as Li Hankong, hailed as a rising star, made a surprise entrance at her skating club.
At fourteen, in the far north, where summer days stretched long, she landed the first triple axel of her life. From then on, she and Li Han stood on the podium together again and again, side by side yet fiercely competitive. They made a promise to skate together until the day they could no longer skate.
At sixteen, one spring, she walked into the coach's office with the World Junior Championships gold medal in her hands, only to hear Li Han say in a sharp voice that they weren't friends. Her fingertips trembled. She took a step back and buried every feeling she shouldn't have had.
At seventeen, in winter, amid a tidal wave of applause, she claimed the Olympic gold medal every athlete dreamed of. Li Han watched her with a smile. Surrounded by flowers, they embraced in front of the podium. Their gold and silver medals rested side by side as the spotlight fell on them.
"Our promise ends here."
On her eighteenth birthday, she ended everything with her own hands. The gift slipped to the floor. Li Han's eyes widened, and she turned and left.
She kept the unspeakable truth locked in her heart and left the ice for good. In a place no one knew about, she entrusted all her hopes to her former rival.
"Li Han, keep skating. This is our story."

Theme: The gold medal isn't the finish line.
The author was devastated and took a look at the chapter outline, which was getting longer and longer as if it would soak in water and grow. He realized that he might not be able to finish the 60 chapters 😭, but he will definitely finish it before the start of school in October.
Two chapters, two more chapters to go! It's over!
The author will complete the text before September 10th and officially complete it around September 15th! Come on come on! The dawn of victory is at hand!
Thank you for your reply. I will briefly mention some things here. I don't know if there is any intention to modify this plot. If there is no way to modify it for various reasons, you can ignore this set of comments. The article adopts the new rules of Milan cycle. Then I will explain it using the Milan cycle rule. Milan cycle JGP needs to be selected in the club league. Both Li and Li will participate in the trials, and each will win or lose. Then there must be one person at the selection station who has priority in selecting the station. For example, if Li wins the first selection station, then Li will give priority to Istanbul, and Li and the players ranked lower will not be able to choose this station. Of course, in subsequent selections, for example, if Li wins the second selection station, then Li can choose to compete with Istanbul, but it is obvious that Li will not choose to meet Li in order to ensure her JGPF qualification. Even if she wants to choose the same station as Li because of her own subtle thoughts, she will be pulled to do psychological work, because it is too bad to do so. If the two heroines want to choose the same JGP as each other out of selfish motives, then they need to deal with the coach's attitude and their conflicts about emotions and victory. It is certain that the coach wants to ensure double qualification, but the girl herself needs a reasonable explanation. Because even if two girls want to compete with each other, they can definitely start a battle on JGPF and JWC. Choosing the same station to gamble on their own probability of qualifying requires a very convincing description.
"On the day of Li Han's seventeenth birthday, Li Li landed in Istanbul with her. It was very new for both of them to compete in the same race." This is a big bug for the author~ In fact, it's not really catching insects. Just a personal question. The strength of Li Heli is very clear as mentioned above. They are basically at the level of podium in competitions. In the previous season, Li won the JGPF championship. It is obvious that as long as there are no accidents in the World Youth Championship last season (for example, one person cannot skate in the free skate), the two of them will easily get the full JGP quota. The full quota of JGP is seven stations and fourteen. When there are 14 places, letting the top two spots compete at the same station is a relatively failed decision for both individuals and superiors, which greatly reduces the possibility of qualifying for the finals. If the number one and number two are staggered like Russia, it can still be explained by "a powerful figure skating country with abundant talents." But I think the first two stops were pure decision-making accidents. If it is a special situation, please answer and communicate HHH
