Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

Du Liangchen isn't a fan of celebrities, but he watches TV dramas frequently. After looking around, he recognized a few familiar actors, but not the rest. He stood obediently behind Wang Keran as a background figure, and was then taken to the dressing room by staff to wait for recording and interviews.

Due to the explosive popularity of esports, the "Battle at the Top" program has been planned for its fifth season, with twenty-five esports newcomers divided into five groups to compete against each other.

According to staff, the skill level of players this season is no lower than last season, with many being players with over 1000 points in the peak ranking or over 20 stars in the King rank. This puts a lot of pressure on Du Liangchen and Mei Jing, who haven't played for several seasons and whose ranking has dropped to Diamond III or IV.

Staff came to remind the artist to go to recording studio number three for the recording.

Wang Keran clapped her hands. "Quickly touch up your makeup, let's go to Studio Three!"

The makeup artist patted powder onto their faces. She also applied some shimmery lipstick to Du Liangchen's lips. The sticky feeling was unbearable for Du Liangchen, who had been rough for so many years. He felt like he hadn't wiped off what he had just eaten, and kept pursing his lips.

Staff put microphones on the two people and then let them in.

The two glanced at Wang Ke and then walked into the shed. They quickly looked around and found that many people had already come in and were sitting on what looked like stairs.

"Hello everyone!"

"Hello everyone!"

Du Liangchen and Mei Jing greeted the crowd and then found a relatively secluded corner to sit down.

The esports newcomers who had already entered the venue were immediately impressed when they saw them. They were very familiar with these two, as they would be trending on blogs for half the year, and their popularity was even higher than that of actors and celebrities.

As the contestants gathered, many familiar faces sat together, and a few minutes later someone approached the two of them.

The tall, bespectacled man said to them, "Hello, my name is Ruan Boyan. May I sit here?"

Mei Jing nodded: "Of course, there's no fixed seating, so you can sit anywhere. I'm Mei Jing, and he's Du Liangchen."

Du Liangchen greeted him with a smile: "Hello!"

Ruan Boyan noticed that the two of them were a little nervous and seemed to be not very good at socializing, so he took the initiative to smile and say, "Hello, I know you two. You are world champions, and you are even more handsome in person than on TV."

What positions do you two usually play?

Du Liangchen: "I used to be able to play a little bit of every position, but now I play more of the top lane and mid lane."

Mei Jing: "I play jungle and marksman more often."

Ruan Boyan: "Wow! You're so versatile! How about we team up later? I usually play jungle and marksman the most."

Soon, people who had participated in the show in the previous two seasons came in one after another. Seeing that the other seats were occupied by women or very talented actors, they chose to sit on the side with fewer people, and gradually more and more people gathered around them.

"Du Liangchen!"

Hearing someone call his name, Du Liangchen subconsciously looked up, his eyes wide with confusion. But when he saw the person, he instantly smiled, stood up, and gave a high-five to the person who had walked up to him. "Wenjie!? I didn't expect you to be participating in this show too!"

Yuan Wenjie smiled without saying a word. In fact, he had found out that Du Liangchen was participating in the program, so he asked his agent to sign him up.

"I haven't congratulated you on a safe and successful season yet."

Unexpectedly, Yuan Wenjie grabbed his hand and pulled him towards him, then hugged him. Du Liangchen froze for a moment, then smiled and pushed him away. He felt an undeniable gaze fixed on him from behind.
