Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

Du Liangchen slapped away the hand that was reaching out to him, sat up, and clutched his chest, feeling uneasy.

A senior from the medical school came over with a paper cup. "You're finally awake! Here, quickly drink this bowl of sugar water, and you'll be fine."

"Thank you, senior sister."

Du Liangchen obediently thanked him, took the cup, smelled it first, and only drank it down little by little after confirming there was no strange taste.

The senior student had become familiar with both of them and didn't stand on ceremony, patiently and earnestly giving them advice.

"You! How can you not take care of your body? You call yourself an athlete! Honestly! You don't eat properly or rest properly. You already have low blood sugar, how can you not faint?!"

"You two are usually inseparable, did you have a fight? There's a limit to arguing, don't ruin your health. Getting angry only makes you suffer. I just can't do anything with you young people~"

The two of them blushed deeply after being criticized by the outspoken senior.

Du Liangchen retorted, "Senior, you're young too. Why make yourself sound old? Besides, you've misunderstood. It's my own problem, it has nothing to do with anyone else."

Although the senior student was praised, she happily raised her eyebrows.

She only said a few words, but unexpectedly, he defended her, and she pouted unhappily.

It's quite possible!

Feeling awkward, the senior student tossed her head, crossed her arms, and said haughtily, "Fine! I can't say anything then, so I won't say anything more."

"Senior~"

"Senior!"

The two of them shouted shyly in unison.

The senior student was amused to see the two of them blushing from their cheeks to the roots of their necks, and she could hardly contain her laughter.

"A joke every day, check-in complete!" she thought to herself, hands on her hips with a smug look on her face.

The senior student is five years younger than them. Every day, she sees them dragging their tired bodies to get massages to relax their muscles, wincing in pain. She feels both admiration and heartache for them, so she always tries to cheer them up whenever they come.

Who can blame them when they are two good-looking, kind-hearted, and hardworking junior students!

"Cough~ Alright, alright! Stop yelling, I'm here. Now that you're awake, let's go get something to eat and you'll feel better." The senior student pointed to her wristwatch and continued, "Look at the time! Don't let this ruin my date!"

Du Liangchen and Mei Jing exchanged a glance. The senior was as tough as ever, and they really couldn't handle it. They awkwardly put their legs down and looked down to find their shoes.

Mei Jing naturally bent down, picked up the shoes that were placed at the foot of the bed, and put them at his feet.

Du Liangchen twisted his ankle a couple of times, put on his shoes, and stood up. Suddenly, a feeling of weakness washed over him, and he slumped back onto the bed, his body hunched over, clutching his dizzy forehead in discomfort.

"Watch out!" Mei Jing exclaimed in alarm, hurriedly reaching out to grab his arm. "Come on, let me help you up."

Du Liangchen frowned and waved his hand, subtly withdrawing his arm, and said coldly to avoid suspicion, "It's nothing, I just got too excited, I'll be fine after a while."

Looking at her empty hand, Mei Jing lowered her head in disappointment, her eyes filled with hurt as she looked at him again.

Sorry about your disappointment. After all, it's your own fault for saying hurtful things. It's understandable that you're angry, as it shows that he cares about you.

Mei Jing comforted herself with this thought, and her mood improved somewhat. Her deep eyes were fixed on the person walking in front of her, as if afraid that he might accidentally fall, ready to protect him at any moment.

Du Liangchen had just drunk a cup of sugar water and felt his empty body regain some strength. When he reached the school gate, he turned around and looked at Mei Jing, who had been silently following behind him. He stopped and glared at her angrily, giving her a warning.

"Don't follow me, I don't want to see you." After yelling, he turned and continued walking forward.

When they met each other's gaze, Mei Jing looked away guiltily. Seeing him turn to leave, she suddenly felt that she was really going to lose him. Her heart felt empty, which made her panic. She hurriedly grabbed his hand and apologized.

"I'm sorry... I was irresponsible, but I really don't want your future to be affected because of me. Could you... could you give me another chance, please?"
