Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

Du Liangchen pushed open the door and saw his aunt and father sitting inside, brewing tea at the tea table. The interior decoration was elegant and grand with a classical style.

He swallowed hard, his throat dry with nervousness. "Dad, Aunt, Mei Jing and I are here."

"Hello, Uncle and Aunt, I'm Mei Jing." Mei Jing introduced himself in a poised and confident manner, but only he knew that his palms were sweating profusely.

"Don't stand, sit down," Du Langyu beckoned to the two of them, his voice gentle.

This was the first time Mei Jing had met Du Liangchen's father, and he finally realized who Du Liangchen's beautiful eyes resembled.

The man had a sculpted face with distinct features, phoenix-shaped eyes, and sharp, deep black pupils. His white hair did not make him look old but rather gave him a unique charm. He had a well-proportioned figure and wore a black jacket. Such a simple outfit made him so handsome that people couldn't take their eyes off him. He did not have the laziness or decadence of a middle-aged man at all. Instead, he was refined, capable, and had a powerful aura.

Du Langyu sized up Mei Jing, who was seducing his son. She was dressed in the same sportswear as Du Liangchen, and had a tall, straight figure. Her deep brown eyes were clear, yet held a rare untamed spirit for a boy, with long eyelashes gently resting on them. Her nose was straight, seemingly revealing a stubborn personality. She appeared to be a free spirit, with a slightly rebellious air.

"It's you, kid. You snatched my son's phone in the middle of the night and talked to me. You've got some nerve! You dare to come here today? Aren't you afraid I'll beat you up?" Du Langyu's tone was relaxed, but his teasing made the two people listening feel a chill.

Mei Jing seized the opportunity and said, "If you beat me, Uncle, and then you won't stop me from being with Xiao Chen, then Uncle, please go ahead and do it. I'm not afraid."

Du Langyu was taken aback by his blunt words, unsure whether to hit him or not. He glared at Mei Jing, but in his heart, he thought the kid was very smart and quick-witted.

Du Langyue, who hadn't said a word the whole time, smiled and pointed at Mei Jing, saying, "You're a sly one!"

Du Liangchen mustered his courage and asked, "Dad, did you and Aunt come here today to ask us to break up?"

Du Langyu placed a cup of hot tea in front of each of them, took an elegant sip, and said calmly, "Yes and no."

Mei Jing and Du Liangchen exchanged a glance, neither of them understanding what Du Langyue meant.

Seeing the confusion in the eyes of the two children opposite him, Du Langyu stopped keeping them in suspense and sat up straight, saying, "You two must have just started dating recently. Your aunt and I know that it would be very difficult to separate you two at this time, and it might even cause you to break ties with your families. After all, I was young once too, and I know how uncontrollable love can be at the beginning."

"So in order not to lose you as my son, I neither oppose nor support your relationship."

"Thank you dad!"

"Thank you uncle!"

The two excitedly grasped each other's hands, and this time they noticed that each other's hands were sweating with nervousness.

Du Langyu raised his hand to interrupt them, "Don't get excited yet, I haven't finished speaking. I need your guarantee that you will only be ordinary friends until Xiaochen turns twenty, and you won't cross any lines. If two years from now you still like each other as much as you do now, and feel that you can't live without each other, then I will support you being together. Can you do that?"

Mei Jing, Du Liangchen: "......"

“Mei Jing, if you’re willing, use these two years to get your family to accept Xiao Chen’s existence. If not, the things you’ve experienced in two years will be enough for you to wear down your feelings for each other.”
