Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

Mei Jing's upright values ​​made Du Liangchen feel ashamed beyond measure. He was very fortunate to have met such a pure-hearted person.

In her past life, she had struggled with the principles of reasoning and witnessed too many close friends betraying and ruining each other out of jealousy that the other was doing better than them. She was no exception, closing her heart off and no longer sharing with others or opening her heart to anyone.

Perhaps influenced by his childlike mindset, he let his guard down in this life, only to encounter misfortune and nearly ruin his sports career. The guard he had let down rose up again in his heart, and the only person who could get through was his longtime rival, Mei Jing.

As the online story unfolded, a large number of netizens who love gossip began to frantically check whether it was true. Videos of Mei Jing and Du Liangchen together were also dug up and amplified endlessly.

Du Liangchen knew nothing of this. After seeing Mei Jing off, he said goodbye to his grandparents and went into his room, where he threw himself onto the bed.

At this moment, Grandpa Du and Grandma Du outside the door were bombarded with phone calls one after another.

Du Langyue had already seen the entertainment news online, but she couldn't get through to Du Liangchen by phone, nor could she get through to her parents. In desperation, she canceled all her meetings and bought a ticket for the next available flight back home.

Unaware that their daughter had rushed back home because she couldn't reach them, the elderly couple were receiving a call from their youngest son, Du Langxing.

Du Langxing learned from the two elders that Du Liangchen didn't seem to have any strong emotions, but he had a bad feeling about him, so he asked the two elders to keep an eye on him.

We talked for an hour before hanging up, and then I received calls from Tian Zhixi, Du Zhinan, Du Gubei and others.

After finishing their phone call with their family, Grandpa Du and Grandma Du looked exhausted and collapsed onto the sofa. Then they heard the sound of a lock being opened at the door.

Grandpa Du and Grandma Du suddenly looked at each other and sat up warily.

Grandma Du suddenly realized something and was terrified. She swallowed nervously, "Why is there a noise at the door? Could it be that a stalker has come looking for us?"

Grandpa Du clenched his fists tighter and tighter upon hearing this. He gently comforted Grandma Du, "It's alright, old woman, I'm here. You go to your room first, I'll go check on you."

Grandma Di, still worried, added, "Then be careful!"

"Ok, I know."

Grandpa Du nodded, gave her a reassuring look, and walked towards the door.

Over the years, due to the constant online defamation of Du Liangchen, many indignant people have dug up his home address and surrounded him in his neighborhood or at his doorstep. This has caused a lot of inconvenience to Du's grandparents and his two older brothers.

Not only that, in an attempt to gain online traffic, they also posted Du Liangchen's family information and address online. Even more shockingly, some dug up Du Langyu's identity and workplace, which was discovered by the security bureau. They immediately blocked the internet, deleted all information related to Du Langyu, and located and detained him online.

Because of this incident, all the online media companies realized they had bitten off more than they could chew, and they apologized and deleted negative comments about Du Liangchen and his family, and rarely reported on topics related to him afterward.

This, however, aroused public dissatisfaction and anger, who believed that Du Liangchen had connections and was openly bullying them, powerless ordinary people, which they could not tolerate.

As a result, Du Liangchen's public image deteriorated, and some people, besides his performance in the competition and his appearance, began to distort the facts and find various reasons to slander him. However, those comments about Du Liangchen were not warned or deleted.

Those media people astutely realized that attacking only Du Liangchen would be harmless, so they vented all the anger that had been suppressed in their hearts since being fined and investigated by the police on Du Liangchen, and frantically bought marketing accounts to attack him.

Du Liangchen endured more than three years of cyberbullying, which is why he has such a strong spirit; otherwise, any teenager in their adolescence would have retired, broken down, and committed suicide long ago.

Du Langyue quickly hailed a taxi home. When he opened the door, he saw his father standing there with a fierce look on his face, holding a cane. The words he was about to say were instantly swallowed back.

Grandpa Du, seeing it was his daughter, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He secretly rejoiced that he hadn't struck her with the stick, and asked with lingering fear, "Why are you back?"

Seeing that Du Langyue was still standing at the door staring blankly at him, he knew she might be frightened, so he pulled her inside and closed the door behind him.

Grandpa Du patted her on the back and said apologetically, "Are you alright? I didn't expect you to come back. I thought it was a bad guy trying to break in. You didn't even call when you came back so I could have come to pick you up."

After calming her wildly beating heart, Du Langyue's anger flared up the moment she heard Du Junzhi mention making a phone call: "Make a phone call?!"

"That's only if I can get through. What's wrong with you and Mom? The phone is always busy. And Xiaochen's phone is off too..."

Du Langyue became increasingly excited as she spoke, her voice rising in pitch, drawing Jiang Shuchun out from inside the house who had been keeping an eye on the sounds outside. Opening the door, she was surprised to see her daughter: "Xiaoyue! Why are you back?"

Upon seeing her, Du Langyue's anxious expression instantly turned to one of grievance: "Mom~ You were all so worried about me, you wouldn't answer any of my calls. And what about Xiaochen? With such a big thing happening online, how is he? Is he alright?"

Grandpa Du and Grandma Du glanced at Du Liangchen's room, signaling her to keep her voice down. Then, the two elders told Du Langyue the whole story that Du Liangchen and Mei Jing had told them.

Du Langyue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Du Liangchen was alright: "I knew it! How could my nephew, who is so well-behaved, do such a thing?"

She then opened her phone to search for related news, and the more she read, the angrier she became. "These people are going too far! They start with a picture and then make up all the content!"

Du Langyue was about to post a Weibo to clarify, but she found that the topic of Du Liangchen and Mei Jing's relationship had already topped the trending search list, and the comments below were overwhelmingly negative, all criticizing Du Liangchen and Mei Jing.

"No, we have to find a way to cool things down quickly," Du Langyue muttered to herself. "Otherwise, it will have a huge impact on Liangchen's reputation."

Grandma Du seemed to have found her pillar of support, and she tightly grasped Du Langyue's hand: "Yes, you have to think of a solution quickly. Your brother just called and said that if this matter is not handled properly, it may affect Xiao Chen's career."

"Dad, Mom, this matter is difficult to resolve in some ways, but easy to resolve in others. Don't worry, I'll handle it."

She picked up her phone and dialed a number...

Du Liangchen, separated by only a wall, was unaware that his family was deeply troubled and trying to suppress the matter. At that moment, he was staring at the ceiling, lost in thought, seemingly devoid of any vitality.
