Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

Considering Du Liangchen's past experiences—which were always fraught with mishaps—the coaches could only hope for another miracle, as these incidents not only didn't affect his performance but also allowed him to break through his own limits and achieve good results.

Du Langxing felt very guilty. It started snowing here after they got off the plane. The fever was probably because he hadn't paid attention to keeping him warm during the pre-match practice, which caused the fever and triggered his asthma.

Du Langxing took care of Du Liangchen all night, as he had a recurring fever. He didn't sleep all night and kept feeding him medicine.

There will be one last pre-competition training session tomorrow afternoon, which is very important for the athlete. He must ensure that Du Liangchen's body temperature comes down, otherwise the temperature fluctuations in the ice rink will only worsen his condition.

Domestically, CCTV broadcast the Grand Prix of Figure Skating. When the camera focused on Du Liangchen, the fans noticed his flushed cheeks and drooping head, and guessed that something was wrong with his health.

The fans, affectionately known as "Xiangcheng," prayed in front of their screens that Du Liangchen would finish the competition smoothly, and their eyes welled up with tears when they saw him make a mistake and fall. No one knew better than them how amazing their son was; he was an athlete who could jump successfully every time, and only made mistakes when he was sick.

The commentator learned through a live connection that Du Liangchen suddenly developed a fever before the match, and mentioned this while commentating on him.

Just then, the screen showed Du Liangchen finishing his last move and leaving the ice. He was so exhausted that he couldn't stand up and had to be held by his coach to keep from falling to the ground. Even his skates had to be put on by the staff around him.

Half-carrying him, Du Langxing placed Du Liangchen on a chair to wait for his score. Weak and limp, Du Liangchen leaned forward, startling the audience. Du Langxing had no choice but to hold him close and wait for his score.

The moment the scores were announced, Du Langxing glanced at them, then half-carried the dazed and panting Du Liangchen backstage, handing the suitcase to Jiang Weijun, who had just arrived.

Every viewer who witnessed this scene was deeply moved, their eyes welling up with tears. They felt sorry for the boy who was risking his life; he was still a minor...

The "Oranges" (fans) cried uncontrollably, and in their distress, they opened their blogs to confide in their sisters.

Mei Jing's fans, who were also watching the game, felt like the sky was falling.

Videos of Mei Jing looking back at Du Liangchen repeatedly as she entered the venue, and of her kneeling down to tie Du Liangchen's shoelaces in the bright corridor, appeared in their fan groups.

In the video, Mei Jing looked at Du Liangchen with such heartache and worry, as if she wished she could take his place and be sick instead.

Before, the way she looked at Du Liangchen was different from how she looked at others. Now, the love in her eyes is so obvious that it's almost tangible, which makes her die-hard fans break down.

Fortunately, Mei Jing closed her comment section, otherwise it would have definitely ignited a war without gunpowder.

Unable to find the two main fans, the "First Snow" fans turned their attention to "Xiang Cheng," who was still crying over her sick baby, and then the two fan groups started fighting online.

Mei Jing's fans were angry, but they knew they couldn't let it affect their idol's athletic career, so the general public online was confused about what Mei Jing's fans were arguing about. Even Du Liangchen's fans didn't know why they were suddenly being attacked.
