Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

Grandma Du shook her head and sighed, "Oh dear, are kids these days so big and so brazen? The world is going to the dogs, people's hearts are no longer what they used to be!"

Grandpa Du threw down the chess piece in his hand and said angrily, "Hmph! I think he deserves a beating."

Tian Zhixi glanced at her mother-in-law, then at her father-in-law, and her shoulders slumped. Actually, she was also uncomfortable. Mei Jing was really bold, completely ignoring their presence. She really wanted to throw away the gifts he brought along with him.

But what can parents do when their son likes it? They can only put up with it.

Tian Zhixi turned and went to the kitchen to heat up the Chinese medicine, planning to use the excuse of delivering the medicine to visit his room later.

Mei Jing followed Du Liangchen into the house and casually closed the door.

Du Liangchen turned around, looking at him with a bad mood, and gestured rapidly with her fingers: "What are you doing here?"

Mei Jing forced a smile and walked slowly toward him, then, still shaken, reached out and hugged him tightly.

Du Liangchen was about to struggle when he felt his body tremble and his movements froze. Then he heard his voice, aggrieved and sad, say in his ear: "I'm sorry~ Although my intention was for you, I didn't consider your feelings and made you feel very uncomfortable."

Feeling the person in her arms push her again, Mei Jing felt a tightness in her chest and let go.

Seeing his dejected look, Du Liangchen poked his cheek with his finger. When he looked over, he gestured and said, "Since you apologized so sincerely, I'll forgive you. Just don't let it happen again."

Mei Jing's face instantly lit up with joy, her eyes crinkling into crescents. She quickly leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, saying, "Thank you, baby."

Du Liangchen's cheek flushed red from the stolen kiss, and she glared at him, annoyed. "What are you doing? I'm warning you, this is my house, no harassment here!"

Mei Jing naturally sat down in the chair by the desk and reached out to pull Du Liangchen over.

Du Liangchen was caught off guard by the sneak attack and was pulled so hard that he almost tripped over his own feet and fell. Still shaken, he hugged the neck of the person in front of him and sat down in his lap.

Du Liangchen was speechless and could only glare at him angrily.

Mei Jing, having gotten the better deal, acted coquettishly and said, "I won't be a hooligan, absolutely not. I just missed you and wanted to hug you."

Du Liangchen glared at him sideways, [Is this what you call not being a hooligan?]

Mei Jing felt increasingly flustered as he stared at her, and decided to throw caution to the wind, "Really! Fine, I'll play along, what can you do to me?"

Du Liangchen reached out and lightly touched Mei Jing's forehead with his fingertips, then slid his fingers down across the bridge of his nose, lingered for two seconds on his pink lips, and then slid down his chin and Adam's apple.

Mei Jing's gaze toward him grew increasingly intense, her Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

Du Liangchen felt Mei Jing's hands around his waist tighten like two large pincers. A slight smile played on Du Liangchen's lips, his eyes sparkling with smugness and teasing, as if asking him, "What can I do to you?"

Mei Jing looked at him, who seemed helpless and kept teasing her, and bit her lip in exasperation.

I was just about to teach him a lesson when I was interrupted by a knock on the door.

She pinched Du Liangchen's waist in annoyance, then let go of him in a huff.

"Hi~"

Du Liangchen didn't expect him to be so strong. He gasped in pain, slapped him across the face, gave him a warning look, and then got up to open the door.

Tian Zhixi hesitated for a while, but the door didn't open. She became increasingly flustered. Could it be that the two of them were doing something unspeakable?

Just as she was about to get the spare key, the door opened.

Tian Zhixi looked Du Liangchen up and down and saw that he was perfectly fine. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and squeezed into the room. She saw that the bed was neatly made. When Mei Jing saw her come in, he stood up from his chair and greeted her with a polite smile.

"Auntie."

Tian Zhixi responded and then placed the medicine bowl on the table. "Son, Mom has warmed up your medicine. Drink it while it's hot, it will taste even more bitter when it's cold."

Looking at the dark, murky medicine, Du Liangchen felt a bitter taste in his mouth, his stomach churned, and he frowned in discomfort.

Seeing his resistance, Mei Jing felt a pang of sadness, but in order to help him recover as soon as possible, she could only pretend not to see it and turn her head away to look elsewhere.

Tian Zhixi smiled at Mei Jing, her smile carrying a warning, "Mei Jing, have you had dinner yet?" Her tone was gentle, even though she hated him to death in her heart, her years of upbringing prevented her from saying anything harsh.

Mei Jing sensed the distance in Tian Zhixi's smile and was taken aback for a moment. "Ah? No, uh, I've already eaten."

"You've already eaten? Auntie was thinking of making you a bowl of noodles if you hadn't." Tian Zhixi continued casually, "What were you talking about in the room? What do you want with Xiaochen so late at night?"

Mei Jing looked at Du Liangchen, whose face was contorted with bitterness after drinking the medicine, quickly took the bowl from his hand, placed the water glass in his hand, and then shook her head at Tian Zhixi, "It's nothing, Auntie. It's getting late, I should go back now, so I won't disturb your rest any longer."

Du Liangchen took two gulps of water to wash away the bitterness in his mouth and suppress the nausea in his stomach, then gestured: "I'll take you downstairs."

As Tian Zhixi watched the two figures descend the stairs, she suddenly realized that she had been too nervous.

We've already promised them they could move out, so what's the point of all this precautions? It's just unnecessary.
