Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

What Du Liangchen didn't say was that when he looked into Mei Jing's eyes just now, whether it was because they were too close or because the night light in the room was too dim, he actually saw the complex emotions and restrained love in Mei Jing's eyes.

In that instant, Du Liangchen couldn't hear the sounds around him; only his heart pounded wildly in his chest. After pushing Mei Jing away, Du Liangchen complained about her slow movements, but only he knew how turbulent his heart was. He didn't dare look at Mei Jing's face; his eyelids trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes to hide the pounding in his heart.

Mei Jing blinked as she was pushed away, suppressing the emotions that unconsciously welled up in her eyes.

Feeling uneasy, he brushed the stray hairs from his forehead and said, trying to sound calm, "Why are you so nervous? It's not like I haven't wiped your face before."

Upon hearing this, Du Liangchen recalled that he had once bruised his right arm and almost fractured it. As a result, he couldn't put any weight on his hand for a week, and Mei Jing took care of him during that time, helping him get dressed, wash his hair, and get him meals.

Thinking about it, Du Liangchen realized that he had overreacted and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Well, you know I'm ticklish and you were still rubbing it all over my face. I was already being restrained by not kicking you down."

"Okay, okay, it's my fault." Mei Jing picked up the small cake she had just fed Du Liangchen and took a big bite. "If you don't want to eat it, I'll eat it for you."

Seeing him viciously eating the cake to vent his dissatisfaction, Du Liangchen remembered that it was the one he had just eaten, and his ears turned slightly red: "Go to sleep early after you finish eating, I'm going back to my room first."

Du Liangchen got up and put the piece he hadn't touched into the refrigerator, then opened the door and went back to his room.

Mei Jing stared blankly at the door, thinking about her actions just now, and sighed deeply.

After a long while, Mei Jing threw the box into the trash can and went back to his room, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what he did while lying in bed.

The next morning, the two met in the bathroom after getting up and washing up. Seeing the dark circles under each other's eyes, they knew that the other person hadn't slept all night, just like them.

"morning!"

"Morning!"

They exchanged a tacit greeting, and then remained silent. After getting dressed, they assembled on the playground, and then began a morning of training.

Because they hadn't rested well, both of them were in poor condition, and their physical strength was greatly depleted. In the afternoon, they could only grit their teeth and persevere, but they still fell like tumbling gourds.

"boom--"

"Sigh~"

Du Liangchen's axis shifted when he jumped, and he crashed hard onto the ice. The flying ice shards cut his cheeks and arms. He felt a burning sensation on his face, and his entire right arm went numb. Then, a piercing pain struck, causing Du Liangchen to gasp for breath.

"Xiao Chen!" Du Langxing, standing outside the arena, was the first to see Du Liangchen fall.

Hearing the sound, Wang Chenghao instinctively looked over and saw Du Liangchen lying on the ice, clutching his arm. He exclaimed, "My God! Brother Chen seems to be injured."

Everyone on the ice stopped moving and looked at Du Liangchen, while Mei Jing rushed over immediately.

"Xiao Chen!" Mei Jing looked at him anxiously and asked, "Xiao Chen? How are you? Where did you fall?"

"Ugh, my arm hurts..."

Seeing the scratches on Du Liangchen's face and the pained expression on his right arm, they knew that his arm must have been badly injured. The other team members carefully helped Du Liangchen up.

At this moment, Du Langxing and the team doctor also came onto the ice to help Du Liangchen leave, and Mei Jing had no choice but to let go.

Before leaving, Du Langxing said to them, "Train hard, other coaches will be coming over in a little while."
