Chapter 77 You were born when I was already old... a gap I didn't have the courage to cross.
After the song ended, Jiang Chengcheng finally scored 190.45 points!
This means that she broke the world record again by five points and won the women's singles figure skating gold medal at the Sochi Olympics with a high score of 285.45!
Jiang Chengcheng's victory can be described as a huge upset!
After all, China had never even made it into the top three before!
Who would have thought they would suddenly become so famous!
The Chinese spectators in the audience didn't even have time to react until the referee announced the score, at which point the crowd erupted in cheers!
Some Chinese spectators holding flags began to wave their national flags vigorously.
This night was a milestone for Chinese figure skating!
This night marked the beginning of Jiang Chengcheng's worldwide fame!
"Ahhh! That's great! That's great! We won! I'm going to tell my family this good news!"
"Is this person really from China? That's amazing!"
"Haha, our China has won another gold medal! We've successfully climbed to the top!"
"Hey bro, what's this player's name? Does he have any international fan club merchandise?"
"Yes! She's so beautiful and amazing!"
The audience below the stage were discussing Jiang Chengcheng and the victory of the match.
Jiang Chengcheng accepted the national flag that Zhang Jing had prepared long ago, and then draped herself in the bright red flag and circled the field, receiving continuous applause from the people.
This is also an unwritten rule of the Olympics: the winner draped in their own national flag and walks around the stadium to celebrate their victory.
Hearing the continuous applause from the audience, Jiang Chengcheng felt incredibly fortunate for the first time that she could learn figure skating to win glory for her country and that she could be given a second chance to change her life.
The fear that had once taken root in my heart vanished in an instant!
So what if it's a dream? So what if it's an illusion? At least at this moment... the satisfaction in my heart and the glory of my country are real!
……
moment.
Jiang Chengcheng, Elizabeth Pimanova, and another athlete from country E stood together on the podium.
Just as she was overjoyed at winning the championship and preparing to accept the gold medal, a familiar figure made her freeze in place.
The oldest one in e country?
Do we really need the other side to be involved in the Olympic medal ceremony? With hundreds of events participating, wouldn't they be overwhelmed?
Seeing someone she had met three times suddenly come to present her with an award, Jiang Chengcheng was momentarily confused.
She even wondered if she had remembered it wrong, since other countries had also had their leaders award the prize, but no matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't find any specific examples.
However, Jiang Chengcheng would not let such trivial matters affect her mood.
As the head of country E and the hostess walked over carrying the gold medal, Jiang Chengcheng slightly bent down.
The moment the gold medal was hung around her neck, feeling its heavy weight, Jiang Chengcheng thought the process was over, but unexpectedly a large hand suddenly appeared in front of her.
Jiang Cheng looked confused.
Is this a handshake?
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengcheng didn't dare to be negligent and quickly extended her right hand to shake hands in return.
This guy is a big shot in E-country. If I do something wrong, I'll probably be ridiculed by everyone when I get back!
Jiang Chengcheng originally thought that the handshake was just a formality, but who would have thought that when she tried to pull her hand away, she couldn't budge it.
What's going on? Does handshake in China have a time limit? Does insufficient time indicate poor etiquette?
Thinking of this, Jiang Chengcheng didn't dare to struggle any further.
About ten seconds later, the bigwig from country E slowly released his hand and walked to the next winner. He shook hands with him again, but for a very short time, which was what Jiang Chengcheng had mentioned earlier.
Unsurprisingly, the next person went through the same process.
This left Jiang Chengcheng somewhat bewildered. She secretly scratched her head, wondering if the ten-second handshake was a privilege reserved for the champion.
Jiang Chengcheng even inexplicably recalled a classic scene from the movie "Roman Holiday".
To say goodbye to you, I shook hands with everyone.
Thinking about this, Jiang Chengcheng couldn't help but shake her head. What was she thinking? This was pure narcissism!
I guess that's how the rules are here.
Jiang Chengcheng, of course, had no idea that it wasn't some kind of champion's exclusive treatment, but rather a treatment exclusively for her personally.
The moment Sirius presented the award, seeing Jiang Chengcheng with her head bowed, he almost couldn't resist touching the top of her head.
Finally, he managed to regain his composure and, considering the situation, his right hand, which had been hovering in mid-air, changed from touching his head to shaking hands. However, upon closer inspection, the gesture still looked somewhat strange.
Looking at Jiang Chengcheng's unfamiliar and questioning eyes, Sirius didn't know what to say. Since he had already decided to give up, it was actually a good thing that the other party didn't recognize him.
But the disappointment in his heart kept reminding him that this wasn't how it should be, it shouldn't be like this...
Sirius was afraid that if he lingered any longer, he would be reluctant to give up.
She quickly avoided Jiang Chengcheng's gaze, swiftly completed the award ceremony, took a group photo, and then headed out the door.
That's enough! That's sufficient!
Don't hold her back!
...
the other side.
Jiang Chengcheng, whose competition had finally ended, was surrounded by a large group of reporters.
Seeing the former head of the E country, who had been taking a group photo with her, suddenly leave the venue in a hurry as if something extremely urgent had happened, Jiang Chengcheng felt even more confused.
No, why does she always have this strange feeling when she looks at him? Is it because they've met a few times before?
As I watched the other person's figure slowly disappear behind the gate, that inexplicable feeling returned.
It was a very mysterious intuition, as if something deep inside was saying…
Chase after them! Chase after them!
Catch up!
If I don't catch up, someone very important to me will leave me!
An inexplicable panic arose from within, a feeling even stronger than the panic Sirius had felt when he said he would be leaving briefly!
Sirius…
Sirius…
Sirius!
Thinking of this, and that familiar figure, an unbelievable guess arose in her heart!
How can it be? !
How can this be?
As if to confirm her answer, Jiang Chengcheng struggled to break free from the foreign reporters surrounding her and ran towards the gate with all her might!
When the main gate opened, apart from the few bodyguards around the man, there was almost no one at the back door.
"Silis!"
Jiang Chengcheng's voice echoed in the somewhat dim corridor.
In that instant... Jiang Chengcheng didn't know where she got the courage from.
Shouting out that name after half a year, perhaps to confirm her suspicions, or perhaps because she already knew the answer...
How could I be so slow to realize? The answer was right in front of me. The two of us were exactly the same except for our faces!
Country! Habits! Way of speaking! Body shape! How come I just can't see it!
Even though she already had the answer in her heart, Jiang Chengcheng stared intently at the man's back, as if waiting for a definite response!
Tell me! Tell me... are you... really...
