Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

"Xiao Chen, have you brought everything?" Grandpa Du asked, looking at Du Liangchen, who was dressed neatly.

"Grandpa, I've packed them all in my bag."

Du Langyue came out with her bag, saw the grandfather and grandson who were ready, and said, "Let's go then."

Today, Du Liangchen was going to report for duty, and Du Langyue specially made time to take him there.

Du Liangchen: "Okay, Auntie."

Upon arrival, the spacious and grand stadium filled me with longing.

Du Liangchen followed Grandpa Du and Aunt Du, but his eyes were looking around.

After registering, Du Liangchen was informed that training would begin the next morning. Grandpa Du and Aunt Du went to the dormitory building to check in.

The dormitory supervisor gave them the key to room 206, and the three of them went to the door of room 206.

"DuangDuang~"

Du Liangchen went up and knocked on the door. A handsome boy opened the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

“We didn’t ask anyone for help; the dorm supervisor let me stay here.”

"Oh, roommate, come in quickly."

Du Liangchen glanced around the room. There were four beds in total, and three people were already living there.

"Hello, I'm Du Liangchen, I just started working here today." Du Liangchen introduced himself in a very open and confident manner.

"I'm here to register today too. My name is Liu Xing. I know Du Liangchen; he's this year's championship winner," said the boy who opened the door.

"Hello, we came to register yesterday. My name is Gu Zichen, and his name is Li Wenjie. He is rather introverted and doesn't talk much."

Du Liangchen nodded at Li Wenjie as a greeting.

After Grandpa Du and Du Liangchen made up the bed, Du Liangchen said goodbye to his roommate and left to get a meal card, phone card, and water card.

Because many newcomers will participate in the training camp, 90% of whom are children, the management is very strict, and prohibited items such as cell phones are not allowed.

After taking care of everything, Du Liangchen saw Grandpa Du and Aunt Du off and returned to his dormitory alone.

When Liu Xing saw Du Liangchen return, he greeted him warmly.

"Du Liangchen, you're back. Your grandfather and the others have passed away."

Du Liangchen smiled and said, "Yes."

Gu Zichen stuffed snacks into his mouth and mumbled, "We thought you weren't coming back to stay tonight."

Du Liangchen said with a smile, "Where else can I go if I don't stay here? The coach told me that training camp starts tomorrow morning."

Gu Zichen handed the bag of fries to Du Liangchen.

"I have some potato chips here, have a taste."

"Thank you, but I don't have much of an appetite right now, and I'm a little worried about tomorrow's training."

Du Liangchen refused Gu Zichen's offer. He never ate these kinds of things in order to maintain his figure, and he felt that a blunt refusal would hurt their relationship, so he changed the subject and talked about the training camp.

Liu Xing was also a little worried after hearing Du Liangchen's words. Since everyone was around ten years old, they were not yet able to hide their emotions, so Du Liangchen could tell what they were thinking at a glance.

Liu Xing: "Yeah, I'm a little worried too. Hey~ By the way, Gu Zichen, you and Li Wenjie arrived a day earlier than us, so you should know more than us. Tell me, what's the training camp like?"

Gu Zichen hugged a bag of fries, eating them while saying sadly, "Crunch crunch~ Hmm, it's the same old routine, the same three things—physical training, land training, and ice training."
