Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

Chapter 274 Red List

"Didn't you already congratulate me? Why are you being so polite?"

"That's true. If the two of us go head-to-head, we'd better go easy on each other!"

"I should be the one saying that. Your national standards are enough to strike fear into people's hearts."

Du Liangchen turned around and saw Mei Jing glaring at him with gritted teeth. He nervously licked his lips, gave a guilty smile, and obediently sat back down in his seat.

Yuan Wenjie went to greet the others. Du Liangchen noticed that Mei Jing wasn't looking at him at all and knew he was jealous, so he secretly nudged him with his shoulder.

"I didn't expect Yuan Wenjie to be so enthusiastic. Maybe he's just excited because we haven't seen each other for so long," Du Liangchen explained softly, sounding like he was talking to himself.

Seeing him carefully coaxing him, Mei Jing couldn't stay angry no matter how much she wanted to. She pretended to be uncomfortable and stretched her legs, then casually circled one of Du Liangchen's feet in her territory.

After appeasing Mei Jing, Du Liangchen happily swung his legs and then continued listening to the others chat. These past few days, they had watched all four seasons of the show at home and had a general understanding of the show's "Hero Pool of the Elderly".

After wandering around for a while, Yuan Wenjie returned and asked Du Liangchen and Mei Jing, "Shall I sit here?"

Du Liangchen thought he didn't know where to sit, so he kindly reminded him, "Sit anywhere, everyone sits like this."

Mei Jing coughed and moved closer to Du Liangchen, their bodies touching. Mei Jing made room on the other side and said to Yuan Wenjie, "You can sit here."

Yuan Wenjie was amused by his antics. He gritted his teeth and sat down in a spot big enough for three of him, saying innocently, "I'm not that big. You don't have to sit so close to Xiao Chen. You're squeezing him out."

Mei Jing didn't look at him, but tilted her head to look at Du Liangchen and asked, "Did you get squeezed?"

Seeing the slightly threatening look in Mei Jing's eyes, Du Liangchen didn't dare to say anything more, and said with a forced smile, "No, no, it's not crowded, hehe~"

Mei Jing raised an eyebrow and smiled smugly. With her hand behind Du Liangchen, she turned to Yuan Wenjie with a cheeky grin and said, "Xiao Chen said he doesn't feel crowded."

Yuan Wenjie: "......"

"Hmm~" Feeling a pinch on her waist, Mei Jing calmed down a bit and sat to the side, but the distance between the two was still closer than between others, clearly indicating that they were very close friends.

"Welcome everyone to the recording studio of Season 5 of The Summit. I'm your host..."

Just then, the host appeared, inadvertently rescuing Du Liangchen from the awkward situation. Du Liangchen and Mei Jing thought they had eased the tension, but little did they know that an even greater embarrassment awaited them.

The large screen in front displayed highlights from everyone's gameplay and their current rankings.

Mei Jing's ID: Xiaoqiangbupass, peak rating 2800. The audience was thrilled; his outstanding performance earned him recognition from the coaching staff and a place on the honor roll.

The lowest-ranked player was Du Liangchen, and the entire audience burst into laughter upon seeing his rank. His failure to reach the King rank was regrettable, earning him a place on the blacklist.

Du Liangchen blushed, "How embarrassing!"

As Mei Jing listened to the whispers around her, her face grew increasingly dark.

Host: "Next, please welcome the two contestants who made it onto the red list in the first round to the stage. Please welcome Mei Jing and Yuan Wenjie!"

Amidst cheers and applause, Mei Jing went on stage and approached the host. The host then presented them with badges.
