Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

He grabbed Mei Jing's neck.

Mei Jing rolled her eyes and said, "Boring." Then she removed Hao Shuxue's arm and left.

Du Liangchen almost burst out laughing when he saw Hao Shuxue's humiliation, but he suppressed his laughter after recalling the sad things that had happened.

Coach Liu spoke at the front:

"The new season of the competition is about to begin. Everyone needs to train hard. Those who choose new songs to participate in the competition should report their song choices to me. Then I will arrange for Coach Zhao to choreograph for you. Kosten also needs to prepare in advance."

Begin physical training

"Sirui, have you decided on your piece yet? Or will you choose one from the previous pieces for the competition?" Hao Shuxue asked curiously.

"I don't want to use the previous tracks; I want to change to new ones."

Since waking up, Du Liangchen has not participated in any formal competitions. He dares not use the songs he used before, for fear that others will discover his secret.

"What about you? Are you choosing a new song?" Du Liangchen asked Hao Shuxue.

"I haven't decided yet, Jing, what do you think?"

Hao Shuxue and Du Liangchen both looked at Mei Jing with curiosity.

Mei Jing felt a little embarrassed by the stares and said, "I'll probably use the previous tracks."

After a day of training, Du Liangchen returned home.

"Grandpa and Grandma, our head coach said today that the new season is about to start and we need to think about the pieces we'll be competing in," Du Liangchen said.

"Have you thought it through?" Grandma Du asked.

"No, I want to choose a different song and choreograph a new one. This is my first competition in the provincial team, and I want it to be more formal." Du Liangchen told his grandparents his thoughts.

“Then let’s choose a new song and choreograph a new dance. Do you have a favorite song?” Grandpa Du said with a wave of his hand.

Du Liangchen said earnestly, "I see that everyone else has chosen foreign piano pieces or famous songs. I don't want to be like them. I want to choose pieces from our own country to choreograph."

Grandpa Du and Grandma Du were very pleased to hear Du Liangchen's patriotic words.

Grandma Du said in a lighthearted tone, "I support you. It's great that Xiao Chen has this idea. How about Grandpa and Grandma help you choose a song?"

“Great! It just so happens that Grandpa and Grandma know more than I do,” Du Liangchen said happily.

"Let's go now." Grandpa got up and went to the study.

After a three-hour discussion, they finally chose "Chinese Kung Fu" and "Riverdance".

The next day, Du Liangchen handed the two pieces to Coach Liu.

“These are the pieces you chose, and I really like them. Can you tell me why you chose them?” Coach Liu called Du Liangchen into his office alone.

Du Liangchen said in a childish voice, "I see that everyone is choosing piano pieces, and they're all from abroad. Everyone's used them to death. I don't want to be like them."

Du Liangchen didn't say anything grand about winning glory for the country. He's still young, and anything he says would just be empty talk and attention-seeking. It would be more convincing to give a simple reason.

"I understand, I will communicate with Teacher Zhao," Coach Liu said in a friendly tone.

"Thank you, Coach. I'll go train now."

"Go."

Du Liangchen left the office to return to training.

Hao Shuxue saw this and came over, asking worriedly, "Is it alright that Coach Liu asked you to go to his office?"

Du Liangchen said, "It's nothing, they just asked me about the song selection."

"That's good. I knew Coach Liu liked you so much, he shouldn't have scolded you," Hao Shuxue said cleverly.

Mei Jinglu said as he passed by, "That's what I said."
