Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

As the energetic music began, Du Liangchen glided, jumped, and crouched to the beat...

Du Liangchen stopped when the music ended, panting heavily and covered in sweat. The music was very exciting and physically demanding. After bowing in all directions to take his leave, he skated off the ice rink.

Half an hour later, Du Liangchen recovered, and his report card came out.

Mei Jing came in first place with a total score of 105.41.

Du Liangchen came in second with a total score of 104.13.

Hao Shuxue came in third with a total score of 102.57.

Feng Long finished fourth with a total score of 100.62.

Liu Xing ranked fifth with a total score of 100.14.

The others will leave the training camp and return to their original provincial teams, waiting for their chance next year.

The two who stayed last year were the most heartbroken; they cried uncontrollably when they saw their scores.

Because many people left the dormitory, the room assignments were rearranged. Du Liangchen, Mei Jing, and Hao Shuxue were assigned to the same room, 201.

Time always slips away unnoticed, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Boys' Dormitory 201

"Oh no, I overslept."

"Xiao Chen, wait for me."

"Mei Jing, hurry up, or you'll be late, and your studies will be ruined too! Go go go..."

Mei Jing and Hao Shuxue hurriedly put on their shoes and went outside. Today was their exam day. Although they were athletes, they still had to take exams.

The three rushed to their respective exam rooms in a panic. Once inside, Du Liangchen was no longer nervous, because his grades had always been quite good.

Du Liangchen is now in the first year of junior high school. In these three years, Du Liangchen has suffered a lot, but he has also gained a lot.

Learning and training at the same time.

They consistently ranked in the top three within their group and in the top three at the championship, earning them a high regard from the coaches.

He'll be able to move up a group after this season, while Mei Jing and his teammates are older than him and have already moved up to the youth group, so they'll be able to participate in youth group competitions this year.

After easily finishing the exam, Du Liangchen checked it and found that some people hadn't finished studying. Since he couldn't hand in his paper early, he was bored and spaced out.

Mei Jing and Hao Shuxue have been getting leg cramps lately; it's their growth spurt. I wonder when mine will start, and I hope it won't affect them as much as it does me...

Not long after the exam, the championship was about to begin. Du Liangchen was already very familiar with this kind of competition and successfully won the championship with a score of 115.84.

The coach arranged for Du Liangchen to be an ice caddie in the youth group. Mei Jing and Hao Shuxue also went last year. It was a way for the coach to let us get used to the atmosphere of the competition venue in advance.

Youth Group Grand Prix China Division.

Du Liangchen arrived at the venue early and listened to the staff's instructions on what they needed to do, along with a group of ice skaters.

The day of the competition arrived quickly, and I saw many foreign athletes who looked very impressive. I had seen them a couple of days before, but they were just coming in twos and threes to familiarize themselves with the venue. This time, they all gathered together.

Many spectators came to the scene, including some foreigners who came specifically to cheer for their favorite athletes.

Du Liangchen waited among the group of ice skaters for the competition to begin.

As each person took the stage, Du Liangchen watched their performances attentively, observing and learning from them.

Soon it was Mei Jing's turn to go on stage. When Du Liangchen saw him looking over, he gave him a thumbs-up.

As the music started, Mei Jing danced, jumped, glided, spun, and crouched to the music...

Suddenly, Mei Jing lost her balance during a hook jump, but she ignored it, got up, and continued to finish the competition to the music.
