Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

Mei Jing assumed he would stay at Du Langxing's house, since he couldn't live in an apartment now, and it wasn't convenient for him to live alone; he needed someone to take care of him. Wei Yi Road, on the other hand, was Du Liangchen's own house.

Upon hearing the name of the destination, Mei Jing instinctively assumed that Aunt Tian would come to take care of him after his injury.

"...It will be soon."

Du Liangchen himself didn't know, but being a proud man, he would never easily reveal his "scars" in front of others.

Mei Jing's attention was focused ahead, and she didn't notice the hesitation on Du Liangchen's face when he said those words. She assumed he was in a bad mood and didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask any further questions.

When they arrived at the apartment complex, Du Liangchen opened the door, and Mei Jing followed behind him. They saw that all the furniture inside was covered with cloth.

"How long has this place been uninhabited?" Mei Jing placed the shoe she was holding on the shoe cabinet by the door and noticed a thick layer of dust on it.

"I don't usually live here, so I forgot to hire a cleaning lady... cough, cough cough cough..."

Before Mei Jing could react, Du Liangchen lifted the white cloth covering the sofa, stirring up dust that Mei Jing accidentally inhaled, causing him to cough violently.

With a swift step, he pulled him to his side. Du Liangchen almost twisted his ankle from the force of the pull, but he managed to catch him on the shoulder in time. He even deliberately avoided touching his injured hand.

“This house is uninhabitable if you don’t clean it up. It looks like you’ll have to go back to your apartment and stay with me tonight, or go to your uncle’s place.”

Du Liangchen kowtowed until tears streamed down his face. Seeing that he was choking, he slightly raised his head to look at Mei Jing, his eyes slightly red.

"I'll go back to the team with you tonight. It would be troublesome if we went to my uncle's place and then came out again."

Du Liangchen took the wet wipe Mei Jing handed him and wiped the dust off his hands. "I'll come back to stay tomorrow after the others have cleaned up."

In the car, Du Liangchen said his mother was coming back to be with him, but the scene he was in was completely different from what he had said.

When Mei Jing heard that he still wanted to come back and live alone, she frowned deeply. "You're injured, and you still want to live alone?"

Sensing the worry in Mei Jing's voice, he shook his head. "It's not just me. My mother was delayed by something, but she'll be back in the next couple of days."

Mei Jing said without hesitation, "Then I'll bring you over when Aunt Tian comes back. You can stay in the apartment for the next few days so I can take care of you."

Du Liangchen smiled at his hand, "You have training every day, and taking care of me is too much trouble. If your training results drop, I'll be in big trouble."

"You can't affect me, don't worry." Mei Jing glanced at the time on her phone. "Let's go back."

"Wait!" He had just taken a step when he suddenly stopped. "By the way, did you twist your ankle? Are you alright?"

Du Liangchen moved his ankle slightly, feeling a little sore and numb, but not in pain. "...It's okay, it doesn't hurt, let's go."

On the way, Du Liangchen booked a housekeeping service online and told his uncle and mother that he was going to leave the hospital on his own and stay in the team's apartment that night.

"Beep beep~~~"

Du Liangchen had just put his phone down when it rang. He opened it and saw a message from Du Langxing that had been replied to instantly, saying that he was waiting for him at the team.

He suddenly had a bad feeling and said to Mei Jing, who was driving, "We'll walk in from the main gate, not go up from the parking lot."

Mei Jing asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Du Liangchen forced a smile. "Heh, your Coach Du is waiting for me in the team. I can't let him see me, or he'll be in for a lesson."

Upon reaching the main gate, Du Liangchen and Mei Jing lowered their heads and quickly walked inside.

"Du! Liang! Chen!"

Upon hearing the succinct, deliberate words, the two paused, turning to look in the direction of the sound. They saw Du Langxing standing behind the security guard, his face grim, glaring angrily at them...

To be precise, he was glaring angrily at Du Liangchen, clearly angry because Du Liangchen had left the hospital without permission.

"Gulp~" Du Liangchen swallowed nervously and called out, "...Uncle, Uncle."

"You've gotten quite capable, haven't you? Huh!"
