Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

Lan Ruoyu looked at Mei Jing, who was sitting on the bed shirtless, and curled her lips in disgust. She took out a thermometer from her suitcase and measured her temperature at 37.6 degrees Celsius.

“I told you not to sleep naked, and now you’re sick with a fever of 37.6 degrees Celsius. You’ve been like this since you were a child, I just don’t know what to do with you! Did you set the air conditioner too low last night? I’ll go out and buy you some medicine now.” As she spoke, she took a set of clothes from her suitcase and put them by his bedside.

Mei Jing nodded weakly, but didn't forget to remind her, "Thank you for your hard work, sister. Oh, don't forget to buy the cold medicine for athletes."

Although Lan Ruoyu disliked her younger brother, she still cared about him. "Okay, after you get dressed, go get your makeup done. The teacher is waiting for you. If you can't keep going, we'll tell the production team to ask for leave, okay?"

"Okay, I got it. Alright, I'm off."

After her sister left, Mei Jing slowly put on her clothes after lifting the covers. When she got out of bed, she felt dizzy and almost fell headfirst. Frightened, she sat back down on the bed.

Lan Ruoyu moved quickly; she ran back breathlessly as soon as Mei Jing left her room.

"Quickly, put on the fever-reducing patch first, and take the medicine after you've eaten."

Before Mei Jing could refuse, Lan Ruoyu tore open the packaging, brushed aside the stray hairs on his forehead, and slapped them onto his forehead. The icy touch made Mei Jing shudder.

"Ouch~ It's so cold, sis!"

Lan Ruoyu rolled her eyes at him, "It's good that you're cool, otherwise how will your fever go down?! I'll help you to the makeup artist's room."

Mei Jing was helped forward. "Sis~ I want to say that fever-reducing patches aren't applied like that. They need to be applied under the armpits or on the side of the neck for the best fever-reducing effect~"

Lan Ruoyu blinked. "Ah~ right! Auntie said I forget when I'm in a hurry. I'll put it on again later!"

"Why aren't Mei Jing and the others here yet?" Du Liangchen ate his meal absentmindedly, looking towards the door for the umpteenth time.

Wang Keran had arranged the meal and notified everyone in the group chat to come eat here, but no one showed up after waiting for a long time.

"Bang~ Bang bang!"

"You're here!" Liu Yue, who was closest to the door, got up to open it. "Come in quickly, you've finally arrived, or Xiao Chen would have come looking for you."

Du Liangchen turned his head and saw Mei Jing, who didn't look very energetic, walking towards him.

"What's wrong? You don't seem to be feeling well..." Du Liangchen put down his chopsticks and stood up.

Mei Jing walked straight past the others, reached out and hugged his waist, then rested her head weakly on his shoulder, saying in a hoarse voice, "My head hurts, my throat hurts~"

Du Liangchen's attention was entirely focused on Mei Jing, and he didn't notice that everyone in the room was looking at the two of them. He touched Mei Jing's neck, his brows furrowed, "It's a little hot, she might have caught a cold. Has she taken any medicine?"

Lan Ruoyu placed a bag of medicine on the table and explained to Du Liangchen, "Xiao Jing hasn't taken it yet. I just went to buy some medicine. The instructions say to take it after meals, but he hasn't eaten yet, so..."

Du Liangchen's brows remained furrowed with concern. He gestured for Lan Ruoyu to sit in the seat he had just been in, then turned to Lan Ruoyu and said gently, "I understand, thank you, sister! You go ahead and eat. I'll look after Mei Jing for now."

"Ah... okay, I'll eat..."

Du Liangchen's sweet "sister" stunned Lan Ruoyu, who stammered and took a long time to recover.
