Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

"Have you ever thought that if your relationship is exposed, the first people to attack you online will be you, and the national team will abandon you? What will you do then? This will become a stain on your life, and you will never be able to clear your name!"

With tears welling up in his eyes, Du Liangchen apologized, saying, "...I'm sorry, Auntie, I made you worry."

"It's good that you know. I didn't mean to get angry at you. It's just that Mei Jing is too reckless. I can't feel his love for you at all now. Instead, I feel like he's going to ruin you!" Auntie said earnestly.

"Auntie, you're exaggerating. He absolutely had no intention of ruining me!" Du Langyue obediently admitted her mistake when he said that, but Du Liangchen clearly became furious and defended Mei Jing when Mei Jing was mentioned.

Du Langyue looked at him with disappointment, pointing at him with exasperation, and said angrily, "You really are... blinded by him!"

“Mei Jing lost a million points last night, and your fans are now cursing him so much that he’s trending on social media. Take a few days to calm down and think things through. See if he will still treat you the same way as before. If he distances himself from you because of this, then you should cut ties with him as soon as possible. This is what your father just told me to tell you. He called you but you didn’t answer, so he called me.”

"Aunt..." Du Liangchen hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Du Langyue immediately guessed what he was going to say and raised her hand to stop him, "Your father warned me that I will not get involved in Mei Jing's matter, and you should not beg me because of him."

Du Liangchen left the office absentmindedly. He didn't know how he got downstairs, his mind filled with Du Langyue's words of advice.

He understood his family's good intentions perfectly, but he truly loved Mei Jing, regardless of money or career. The buyout not only cost him the price of a large apartment but also left him with a mountain of debt, yet he never regretted it for even a second.

But now he was afraid that Mei Jing would distance herself from him because of what happened online. Fear lingered in his heart, and he had nowhere to vent this emotion, leaving him feeling confused and anxious.

Even when I'm in a bad mood, I can't stop working. When I went downstairs, two guests had already arrived.

"Oh, Du Liangchen! Hello, Wang Anyu, actor." A handsome man smiled and extended his hand to Du Liangchen first.

Du Liangchen shook hands with him, saying, "Hello, hello! Du Liangchen, you are an athlete."

“My name is Zhu Nanshu, and I’m also an actor.” The other person joked with a smile, “We know you. We just heard you don’t go online and we were afraid you wouldn’t recognize us.”

Du Liangchen smiled awkwardly but politely, "What positions do you guys usually play?"

Wang Anyu: "I play every position, but I play jungle and marksman the most. What about you?"

Du Liangchen: "Top lane and mid lane."

Zhu Nanshu: "I'm alright as a marksman and mid laner."

"Oh! You're all here. I'm not the last one, am I?"

The three heard a sweet female voice, turned around and saw a bright and beautiful girl walking towards them.

"Hello everyone, I am singer Yao Xi."

"Hello, I'm Zhu Nanshu. What position do you usually play?"

"I'm not very good at games. I usually play mid lane and support. Don't introduce me to you guys." Yao Xi's eyes sparkled with a hint of shyness as she pointed to the three of them one by one and said, "You are Du Liangchen, the athlete who doesn't go online; you are Wang Anyu, the tragic hero; and you are Zhu Nanshu, the ancient costume god."
