Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

"I've always thought you were a very clear-headed kid, but I never expected you to be so confused when it comes to relationships. You want to gain fans' approval on screen with him, but have you ever thought about how many awards you've won over the years, yet your reputation is still mixed and a complete mess? Where do you get the confidence to ask them to bless your relationship with Mei Jing?"

Du Liangchen's secret was exposed, his breath hitched, and his heart pounded like a drum.

"You also lack confidence in your relationship and need some advice from the outside world, but this is not a good solution."

His words were like a knife, slicing open Du Liangchen's insecure heart that had been pretending to be strong, leaving Du Liangchen breathless and powerless to refute.

"Since that's what you want, I don't mind accompanying you to see the chaos of the world. Let's see if Mei Jing will change her mind and fall for someone else in the entertainment industry, which is full of all sorts of people, handsome men and beautiful women."

"Son, everyone feels too ordinary and inferior when facing someone they like. But I hope you can be more confident and give some of the confidence you have for figure skating to love."

"Your mother and I are the final example, right in front of you. The person who truly loves you will never leave you; they will always be there for you on your journey forward, in your future. Instead of being anxious and insecure like you are now, which will only lead you to slowly lose yourself. Love yourself first before you love others."

“I’m backing down in dealing with your situation, not because of your uncle’s experience, but because I can sense that your feelings for him are more than his feelings for you. I want you to gradually ‘give up’ him through difficulties.”

"Of course, if you two can withstand the test of time and stay together, I will bless you, because I am your father, and I want my child to be happy, even if that person is the same gender as you!"

Feeling his father's deep love for him, Du Liangchen was already sobbing uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face. "I'm sorry, Dad... I've let you down."

Du Langyu held his son, who was crying so hard his body trembled, and said with a helpless and worried voice, "I'm not disappointed. You've always been the pride of our family. It's just that you chose an extremely difficult path that is not favored by the world. All we parents can do is guide you to process the negative emotions brought about by this, so that you don't go astray and end up with nowhere to go."

......

After talking with his father, Du Liangchen washed his face with red eyes. The people sitting in the living room who were talking naturally saw that Du Liangchen was crying, and they all looked at Du Langyu with dissatisfaction.

Grandma Du was the first to speak up, saying, "What did you say to Xiao Chen that made him cry? Don't you know it's his birthday today? It's such an important birthday in his life, and you've ruined it for him like this! What are you trying to do!"

No matter how old he is, he will still be scolded by his mother. Du Langyu said aggrievedly, "Mom, what are you saying? Xiaochen is my son, how could I scold him? I just felt that his mood was not right lately, so I just wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with him."

"Really?" Grandma Du looked at him suspiciously, clearly not believing his words.

Grandpa Du looked at his two grandsons who were trying hard to suppress their laughter. Not wanting their father to lose face in front of them, he tugged at his wife's hand and said, "Alright, if our eldest son says it's nothing, then it's nothing. You know how much pressure Xiao Chen is under during training. It's good to give him some encouragement so he can vent."

"Don't worry about it, just eat some of the fruit your daughter-in-law bought, see if it's sweet?" He picked up a piece of melon with a skewer and held it to her lips.

With her mouth gagged, Grandma Du saw the two little ones trying to suppress their laughter. Knowing she was being considerate, she still glared at the father and son with displeasure.
