The Entertainment Industry Waits For Our Divorce Chapter 53

The Twenty-eighth Day of Separation (1)

At the discus throwing area, Liang Yan breathed deeply and stood on the center line behind the throwing circle. The hand holding the discus flexed, and her fingers tightened. She braced the discus against her forearm, and her body faced the throwing direction. Liang Yan stood with both feet shoulder-width apart, her eyes laser-focused at the front, looking straight ahead.

For a layman, they would only feel that Liang Yan exuded a calm and confident aura. However, someone who knows the ins and outs of the sport, such as the commentator, would realize that Liang Yan’s form was professional.

The fans were all focused on the events of their respective idols, so there weren’t a lot of people watching the discus event. There was only the starry-eyed crowd in the live broadcast room.

[Liang Yan is so handsome.]

[Why do good-looking people look so beautiful in casual poses?]

[This isn’t just a casual pose. Liang Yan’s pose is on the professional level. She deserves to come from a sports school.]

[It seems like Liang Yan is holding a discus…]

[Come on Liang Yingjun! Langya will forever support you!]

[Hahahah… I want to be the discus in Liang Yan’s hands!]

......

The referee blew the whistle.

Liang Yan used the common front and back swinging method of most domestic athletes. Her body had excellent proportions: long legs and a tall body. Her body movements while swinging the discus were smooth and beautiful. After the pre-swing ended, Liang Yan slightly bent her right leg and kicked on the ground.

Liang Yan’s center of gravity was to the left; the soles of her feet and waist worked toward her throwing direction. Her body tightened as she executed maximum rotation. During the rotation, all her strength gathered into the discus in her hand.

At the end of the discus throw, Liang Yan’s body spun to the left due to inertia and then rotated twice again in the same direction.

The discus flew in the air like a parabola.

Most of the contestants in “Idol Games” only practiced their events at the last minute, so their movements weren’t up standard, especially in archery. Some even had difficulty pulling the bow.

Liang Yan’s set of movements was completed in a single breath; the power and beauty of her movements were perfectly presented with her body. Liang Yan stopped rotating, eyes fixed to the direction of the discus.

Liang Yan focused on the discus, but the camera zoomed on her side profile. Her side profile was exquisite. The bridge of her nose was high, and her jawline was smooth. However, the most profound was her eyes which couldn’t be mimicked or hidden.

There were lots of female artists who started in the entertainment industry with such an aura, but as the days passed by, their eyes had the look of calculation and worldly sophistication. They could never bring back the past vitality when they debuted.

Liang Yan’s dark pupils reflected the specks of light. And the pure light in her eyes was almost like a child, so focused and pure like a gentle moon in the dark sky. If one looked in them, they would be trapped inside.

Almost everyone didn’t expect that discus, a sport that received little attention even at the Olympic Games and was associated with clumsiness and thick muscles when people heard about it, could be so beautiful. The series of gestures was gorgeous to the point it could be used as a large-scale beauty scene.

The barrage of comments exploded.

[Ohhhh, my God! Liang Yan, I’m dead… I’m dead!]

[It turns out that the process of throwing a discus can be so beautiful. I feel guilty for blaming this sport.]

[I don’t have anything to say; it’s really powerful and beautiful.]

[Liang Yan has been attracting discus fans all day long.]

[She was just dancing a cute dance in the morning, and in the afternoon, so spirited! Mother loves you!]

Liang Yan’s results came out: 39.46 meters. There was a considerable gap compared to the professional athletes, but it was much better than ordinary people’s results.

[Her results are really good. If I had to guess, I wouldn’t even be able to pick up that discus.]

[Other people’s idols are doing rhythmic gymnastics and archery, but my Liang Yan is throwing discus! Hahahaha…]

[No one at the scene cheered for Liang Yan!]

[Handsome, we’re very sorry. We’ll come to the event tomorrow to cheer you on!]

[Is there any Langya member in City B? Please go and cheer for Liang Yan. ]

[But what if there’s no ticket left to buy?]

[No ticket to buy? I’ll buy the expensive scalper tickets!]

[Yes, we can’t let our Liang Yan be lonely!]

......

Liang Yan and Jiang Juan played on the field in alternate turns. Their results were tight. Liang Yan’s standard  form was correct, so she had a good score in this part. As for Jiang Juan, she wasn’t as skilled as Liang Yan, but she was much stronger than her. After the first preliminary match, Jiang Juan surpassed Liang Yan’s score by three meters. She beat Liang Yan.

When compared to the results of men’s discus throw with 30 or 40 meters each throw, three meters seemed to be a very small gap. But the people in the discus throwing circle knew that even a .5 meter gap in difference was a huge gulf in discus throwing.

The referee finally announced the results of the preliminaries. Liang Yan read the results of the event on the big screen, then she walked to the resting area outside of the field.

Jiang Mu thoughtfully handed her a towel and a sports drink.

While  Liang Yan took a sip of the drink, Jiang Mu was full of curiosity and asked, “Liang Yan, aren’t you a weightlifter? Why are you able to throw the discus so smoothly?”

Liang Yan replied, “I didn’t lift weights from the start.”

When she was a child, she was short and chubby. Her coach asked her to try all strength-related events. During that time, she practiced everything from discus throwing to javelin throwing etc. Then, after only a year, she decided on weightlifting. So many years passed, and she hadn’t practiced sports since then, but she hadn’t forgotten her basic skills.
