Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

"Huh? Oh."

Mei Jing, still shy and a little hesitant, got up and went to the cafeteria when she saw Du Liangchen leave in a hurry.

"Wait for me."

Seeing Du Liangchen walking ahead of him, Mei Jing ran a few steps faster, naturally put her hand on Du Liangchen's shoulder, and walked side by side with him on the road.

Du Liangchen slowed down as he was pulled along, turned to look at Mei Jing, and noticed that his complexion had improved. "Your face isn't red anymore. Since you feel cold there, then don't sit there with me next time, understand?"

Mei Jing covered her mouth and coughed lightly, pretending to be calm as she said, "I'm fine, but that was a drafty spot just now. You'll get sick if you sweat after exercising and then get a drafty one, so next time after your morning exercise, you can't sit there just to cool off."

"Not next time."

Du Liangchen naturally knew all this, but he was too tired to go any further.

He was frustrated that his physical fitness had dropped so much after just a few days of relaxation.

Inside the cafeteria, apart from the uncles and aunties serving food, there were hardly any people left. Most of the people who had just come to the cafeteria had packed their food to take home, so there were many empty tables and chairs.

The various aromas blended together, causing Du Liangchen's stomach to rumble as soon as he entered.

After getting their food, Du Liangchen and Mei Jing found an empty table and started eating. Mei Jing placed the lactic acid bacteria drink she had just bought in front of Du Liangchen, while she herself had bought soy milk.

Du Liangchen glanced at Mei Jing and knew without asking that the soy milk definitely had no added sugar.

After their morning exercise, they have an hour to rest, eat breakfast, and adjust their condition to better prepare for the day's training.

After finishing breakfast, Du Liangchen and Mei Jing prepared to go back to rest.

On the way, Mei Jing recounted what happened during the recording of "Longing for Life," saying, "Do you know how I spent the past two days?"

Seeing Mei Jing frowning, looking like he had something on his mind and had suffered a great injustice, it was clear that he had returned last night. The two of them had only exchanged greetings before going to sleep, since they still had training today.

Du Liangchen asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is someone acting like a diva? Who bullied you? Didn't Coach Jiang protect you?"

He asked three questions in a row, leaving Mei Jing completely bewildered.

Seeing Du Liangchen's nervousness, Mei Jing stopped teasing him and quickly explained, "No one is bullying me. Don't look like you're about to fight someone, it scares me~"

Mei Jing spoke in a coquettish tone, clutching her heart as if she were frightened, only to have Du Liangchen elbow her in the arm.

Seeing Du Liangchen's expression turn serious, Mei Jing composed herself, standing somewhat awkwardly with her eyes lowered and occasionally stealing glances at Du Liangchen's face.

"Chenchen, don't be angry. Although you weren't hit, the feeling of being looked down upon and having your efforts and achievements over the years ignored is more painful than being beaten up."

Du Liangchen's eyes narrowed. "Who belittled your efforts? He Ling or Hu Lei?"

Mei Jing shook her head, then nodded, leaving Du Liangchen confused.

"what do you mean?"

"Besides Director Jiang and me, the guests who went to the recording this time included an actor and a director named Xu Weizhou and Wang Xin. I checked last night and found out that they made a movie that was recently released. A lot of people went to see it, and it has already grossed 100 million yuan. They are quite famous."

"During the recording, Hu Lei said that our competition relies on luck. Then Xu Wei Zhou followed Hu Lei's words and said that I was still unlucky and did not win the championship. He told me to go and pray before the competition, and maybe I would be the champion next time."

Du Liangchen's chest heaved with anger, and he couldn't help but curse, "That's utter nonsense! If that were true, anyone could participate in the Olympics. What's the point of training? Just go burn incense and pray before the competition and wait to win the championship!"
