Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

"Yeah, the team gave you leave, what are you going back for?"

Du Liangchen hesitated before speaking: "I'll go back to adjust my time difference and get back into shape. Last time I was injured, my biological clock was completely messed up when I went back, and it took me several days to adjust. This time the injury isn't serious, so I won't do my regular training, but I'll still do my morning exercises."

Tian Zhixi: "But..."

Du Liangchen reached out to interrupt her, making her listen to him finish speaking.

"I know you all want me to retire, but the season has already started, and I'm not going to give up halfway. We'll talk about retirement after the season ends. Don't talk about it now and mess with my mentality."

After saying that, Du Liangchen went into his room to pack his things, leaving the others looking at each other in bewilderment. Seeing his resolute attitude, no one dared to say anything more.

Du Liangchen packed his things, intending to take a taxi home, but his aunt offered to drive him.

On the way,

Du Langyue glanced at her nephew in the passenger seat every now and then, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, which made Du Liangchen extremely uncomfortable. "Auntie, just say what you want to say, don't hold back."

"I do have something to say, but it's definitely not to advise you to retire." Du Langyue suddenly smiled. "Tell your aunt if you're in a relationship?"

"Cough, cough cough cough...!" Du Liangchen choked on his own saliva.

Du Langyue's smile widened. "So excited! Looks like something really good is about to happen."

It took Du Liangchen a while to recover. He tried his best to control his nervousness and said calmly, "What do you mean by dating? Your nephew only trains and studies every day. He doesn't have time to find someone."

“Liar! Guess how I knew?” Du Langyue called him out directly.

Du Liangchen's eyes paused, and he thought of someone, "...Uncle?"

Du Langyue snapped her fingers. "Smart! He sent me to ask you. You know he can't even figure out his own feelings, how could he possibly lecture you!"

"It's not illegal for someone your age to date, so what are you so nervous about? Tell me who your girlfriend is, do you have a picture?"

"Let your aunt see, let's see what a beautiful girl could be worthy of your beauty," Du Langyue asked with a gossipy look on her face.

Du Liangchen frantically looked down and picked at his fingers, "I..." He didn't have a girlfriend.

He never uttered those words.

Suddenly, he remembered his uncle telling him to stay away from Mei Jing. At that time, his uncle's gaze was very complicated. Now that he thought about it, his uncle must have sensed something. Du Liangchen became even more flustered.

Du Liangchen swallowed nervously, "Uncle, what else did he say to you?"

"Hmm..." Du Langyue thought for a moment, "She didn't say anything, she just asked me to get to the bottom of things and to advise you to focus your energy on the right things. You're not an adult yet, so don't always think about romance and stuff."

"But your aunt is not like that stubborn old man. She supports you in dating."

"I'm telling you this so that you can be more careful around him in the future."

"Auntie~" Du Liangchen felt even more guilty.

Du Langyue thought he was scared and spent time with Du Langxing, so she comforted him, "It's okay, Xiao Chen. I'll tell you a secret about your uncle to help you feel better, but you have to promise to keep it a secret, okay?"

"Yes, I won't tell anyone."

"Do you know your uncle is already in his thirties? Why hasn't he found you a wife yet?"

"Why?" Du Liangchen suddenly had a bad feeling.
