Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

After queuing to buy tickets and entering the venue, Du Liangchen and Mei Jing were immediately drawn to the enormous glass structure in front of them.

The dim light refracted through the water, creating shimmering waves. The huge arched glass gave people the feeling of being in the deep sea, with all kinds of fish swimming overhead.

He's usually so busy that he rarely has time to play, let alone go out. Du Liangchen's usually calm eyes flickered with a strange light as he stood there, gazing at the fish swimming by through the glass.

Wow~ Look...

Mei Jing: "Be careful..."

Suddenly feeling his hand being pulled, Du Liangchen stumbled and was then hit hard on the back. Before he could regain his balance, he was thrown into Mei Jing's arms.

"Are you alright?" Mei Jing asked anxiously.

"Ouch!! That hurts!"

A girl behind me stumbled back several steps, then fell flat on her backside due to the inertia. She winced in pain as she looked at the culprit who had caused her fall.

Du Liangchen shook his head and looked behind him. He saw that the person who bumped into him was a girl wearing a white dress.

After the girl's friend helped her up, she angrily questioned, "Can't you see where you're going? Don't you have eyes?"

Mei Jing frowned, pulled Du Liangchen behind her, and said sternly, "How do you walk? You're walking backwards and bumping into people, and you still think you're right?!"

Seeing that Mei Jing was wearing a hat and mask, completely covered up, and seemed unapproachable, the girl's friend timidly tugged at her sleeve and quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, my friend didn't mean it... I'm so sorry!"

She was so engrossed in watching a clownfish that she walked backwards and bumped into Du Liangchen. Feeling guilty, the girl remained silent until her friend pulled her away.

Seeing the two leave, Mei Jing turned around and saw Du Liangchen with his head down, seemingly lost in thought. Because she couldn't see his face clearly, she couldn't tell what his expression was, and she was a little worried.

"Are you ok?"

Du Liangchen shook his head. "I'm fine. Thanks for everything."

Mei Jing's tense face relaxed.

"Then let's keep going."

"There are whales up ahead, let's go take pictures..."

Suddenly, I felt something was wrong. I turned around and found that Du Liangchen hadn't followed. I turned back and found that Du Liangchen was still standing there.

"Why don't you leave?"

Du Liangchen gestured, "I just twisted my ankle. Since I've already bought the tickets, it'd be a shame to miss it. Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Mei Jing nervously squatted down and lifted his trouser leg. "You sprained your ankle. Is it serious? Let me see."

Unable to dissuade Mei Jing, Du Liangchen pointed to his left foot.

Mei Jing looked around but couldn't find a place to sit. She turned her back to him, squatted down, and said, "This isn't convenient. I'll carry you to a place where you can rest."

Today is the weekend, and many college students or parents brought their children to the aquarium. They saw a boy carrying another boy on his back, and although they didn't say anything, they were very curious.

Finding a chair, Mei Jing carefully put Du Liangchen down and solemnly took off his shoes.

"Can you still move around? Try it and see if any bones are broken."

Seeing that he could still move his ankle, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked each time she pressed on a spot, "Does it hurt here?"

Du Liangchen felt a piercing pain and wanted to pull his foot back.

Mei Jing was still worried, so she took him to the hospital.

In the clinic.

The white-haired, reading-glasses-wearing traditional Chinese medicine doctor used a bandage to immobilize his ankle, wiped his hands, and walked to sit down at his desk.

Mei Jing squatted down, loosened the shoelaces, and then put them on his injured foot.

Doctor: "It's a minor sprain, nothing serious, but Mr. Du, this won't do. It's obvious you have an irregular lifestyle. Young people these days love to stay up late, and your job puts a lot of strain on your ankles, so you really need to be careful! Remember to take calcium supplements every day, or you might develop osteoporosis!"

Just as the two breathed a sigh of relief upon learning it was a minor sprain, they were given a lecture by the senior doctor, followed by a week's worth of traditional Chinese medicine to take home.

Mei Jing carried him upstairs, carefully put him down when they got home, then squatted down, her face full of heartache and guilt as she looked at Du Liangchen, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking of taking you out to play, I didn't expect you to get hurt."

Du Liangchen sighed. "What's this to you? You didn't hit me."

For the next week, Mei Jing took very good care of Du Liangchen, not letting him walk, and carrying or holding him whenever he wanted to do something.

Even during class, he would arrive at the lab door precisely on time.

The news about the two quickly spread throughout the school, with everyone saying that their relationship was closer than that of brothers.

Both parties involved knew about it, but neither paid any attention to it.

Those who get into this school are either top students or geniuses; they're all focused on their studies, and even if they have doubts, they don't have time to verify them. Gossip like this disappears in a couple of days.

Moreover, Du Liangchen and Mei Jing were completely open and honest at school.

The show "The Peak of War" is still airing, but viewers have noticed that Du Liangchen's screen time has suddenly become very limited.

His performance in the previous episodes was simply phenomenal, completely dominating the competition, and his good looks also garnered him countless fans. His heart rate never exceeded 100 in any match, and whether the game was going well or badly, he remained calm and composed, effortlessly turning the tide with a flick of his finger. The sheer dominance he displayed was exhilarating for the audience, who lamented his sudden departure, fearing AG might have won the championship.

Esports players have mentioned Du Liangchen during their live streams, and their evaluations of him are all very high. After all, in any sport, skill is what matters most.

When it was discovered that Du Liangchen's scenes were almost entirely cut, both new and old fans were outraged and flooded the official account with demands for an explanation. The ratings for the next two episodes subsequently plummeted.

Finally, the production team had no choice but to release most of the behind-the-scenes footage of Du Liangchen during filming, which calmed the uproar caused by the fans.

CP fans are truly amazing; they can find the sweet moments even in fleeting shots. They've edited together clips of other people's scenes, maliciously blurring out the intimate interactions between the two who were just background figures.

For example, feeding them, giving them water, massaging their shoulders, etc.

When the show aired the part where Du Liangchen left the recording, it caused quite a stir online.

Neither of them paid attention to what was happening online. One of them had completely terminated their contract with their former company and had no business work, while the other was adjusting their state of mind and actively cooperating with treatment.

When Du Liangchen went for a follow-up examination, Mei Jing specifically consulted the doctor and learned that most mental illnesses cause people to lose their vitality. Looking at the scenery and enjoying nature might help Du Liangchen's condition.

So Mei Jing began his journey of creating travel guides, and in order to better record the scenery he saw during his travels, he specially bought a camera.

Du Liangchen was very resistant when he found out, and the thought of traveling made him feel exhausted. In the end, he couldn't resist Mei Jing's coaxing and agreed.

So the two of them started taking spontaneous, 'special forces' style trips every weekend.

In three months, the two of them neither neglected their studies nor their daily training, and traveled to all the famous scenic spots in China, taking many interesting photos.
