Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

"Your uncle once fell in love with someone, but the two broke up in the end. Later, he didn't know whether he couldn't let go of that person or was heartbroken, so he never looked for someone again."

"who's that person?"

“His former teammate, a… man.”

As expected! Du Liangchen thought to himself.

He closed his eyes briefly, then suddenly sensed something was wrong and his body stiffened instantly. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Du Langyue's bright, emotionless eyes.

"...Auntie, why are you looking at me like that?" His voice trembled uncontrollably, and he felt his palms getting cold and his back breaking out in a cold sweat.

Du Langyue grinned, "Look how pretty our Xiao Chen is! With that face, she'd be one of the best in our circle."

"Love is the most unreliable thing. You can live without it, but life will become much more boring. The key is how you choose to live without it."

Du Liangchen felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He knew that his aunt was subtly pointing at him. He thought he had concealed it well, but it turned out that she... no! They all knew.

An endless silence fell over the car until they reached the gate, where Du Langyue stopped the car.

"We're here! Xiao Chen, think about your future. Your aunt won't say anything more."

"I understand, goodbye Auntie!"

After saying goodbye to his aunt, Du Liangchen stiffly got off the bus, clutching his bag.

He didn't remember how long he stood at the gate; it was only when the gatekeeper came to call him that he belatedly went inside.

The pressure, the overwhelming pressure, made Du Liangchen feel breathless. He wearily opened the door, threw down the bag in his arms, and collapsed onto the sofa.

Liu Yu and Wang Chenghao discussed going shopping, and Liu Yu asked Mei Jing beside him, "Brother Jing, are you going to the supermarket to buy things later?"

Mei Jing shook her head. "No, you and Cheng Hao go."

Wang Chenghao: "Well then, see you tomorrow, Brother Jing."

Mei Jing: "Okay, bye-bye!"

They parted ways in the apartment hallway. Mei Jing took out her key to open the door. When she saw someone lying on the sofa, she was stunned for a few seconds before realizing it was real. She immediately smiled, her eyes crinkling, suppressing the urge to rush up and hug the person. She tiptoed over.

Du Liangchen lay on his back on the sofa, legs crossed, arms tightly wrapped around himself, eyes closed, brows furrowed, not sleeping soundly. The striking white on his hand brought tears to Mei Jing's eyes; the small bundle of flesh made his heart ache.

He saw the match online and couldn't imagine how much pressure he was under to defend his title. His fans flooded his comment section to "cry out" and beg him to take good care of their baby.

Du Liangchen stirred, groggily opened his eyes, and sensed someone beside him. Turning his head, he saw Mei Jing.

"Yes! You're back~"

Du Liangchen's voice was soft and sweet as he woke up, almost like he was being coquettish. Mei Jing's ears turned red, and she reached out to touch his face. "You're awake. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"I'm not going to sleep, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight. What time is it now?" Du Liangchen shook his head, feeling as if he was rubbing against Mei Jing's hand, and his cheeks instantly turned red.

Mei Jing, feeling soft-hearted, squatted down beside him and kissed his forehead. Du Liangchen was mesmerized by the look in his eyes.

"You've lost weight again in three months." Seeing that Du Liangchen was about to sit up, Mei Jing reached out to help him sit behind him and pulled him into her arms.
