Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

Du Liangchen's mother came in the evening. They hadn't seen each other for a year, not counting video calls.

Du Liangchen looked at the things she had brought him, said thank you, and then went back to his room under the pretext of studying.

It wasn't that Du Liangchen didn't want to talk to her, but rather that he genuinely didn't know what to talk about. He figured it was better to make her feel awkward than to make himself feel awkward.

Du Liangchen wasn't one to let himself be wronged. He picked up the test paper and started doing practice questions. The exam was coming up soon, and Du Liangchen needed to go back to China to take it.

He was about to take the college entrance exam, and during his recovery period, in order to save himself, he shifted his focus to studying like crazy and skipped a grade.

Du Liangchen's IQ of 150+ makes learning anything easy for him.

The next morning, Du Liangchen went to the club, but when he returned in the evening, his mother had already left.

The new season has begun. Since Du Liangchen has not participated in any competitions for two years, his world ranking has long since disappeared. Therefore, in order to prepare for next year's Olympics, he must improve his ranking this season.

Du Liangchen began flying all over the world.

First, I went back to China to take the exam, and then I participated in the domestic championship.

Upon seeing Mei Jing, Du Liangchen simply nodded and went about his own business.

He didn't notice the fleeting disappointment in Mei Jing's eyes.

Du Liangchen discovered that he didn't recognize many of the people in the group.

'It seems this profession changes hands very quickly. If I hadn't persevered, I'd probably be forgotten.'

Du Liangchen was ranked relatively high in the draw, and many coaches in the backcourt recognized him and greeted him, congratulating him on his return to the field.

In fact, it is very difficult to achieve good results in any sport, but when that person appears, everyone is happy, regardless of whether they are your coach or not, because they are fighting for the country. As long as the medal is won by the country, it doesn't matter who that person is.

Conversely, if you are trained abroad, you need to be wary of many malicious actors.

Du Liangchen felt a long-lost sense of warmth, and a relaxed smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

He misses that feeling.

Soon Du Liangchen went on stage to compete. He used a new short program, and the piece he used was one he had arranged himself, a piece of music he had liked in his previous life called "Mountain Spirit".

The melodious sound of the guzheng floated in the venue. Du Liangchen moved his limbs flexibly, bending over backwards, taking a backbend, and spinning and squatting.

The performance was very captivating, keeping everyone in the audience glued to it.

Although Du Liangchen has only been training for a year and a half, his physical flexibility has always been very high, and his movements are more relaxed, natural and beautiful than those of other athletes.

This greatly increased Du Liangchen's performance score.

The final score for the short program was 81.45.

Du Langxing excitedly pumped his fist when he saw the score, and everyone he met on his way backstage praised Du Liangchen.

They also encountered Mei Jing, who was about to take the stage.

He saw Du Liangchen smiling brightly: "Little Chen, you are truly amazing. You've stunned everyone as soon as you came back."

"Thank you, Mei Jing, you should keep it up too."

"I will."

The two chatted for a few minutes and then parted ways, one walking out and the other going in.

In fact, Du Liangchen didn't know how to treat Mei Jing. They used to be the best of brothers. Ever since Hao Shuxue's incident, Du Liangchen developed post-traumatic stress disorder and stopped getting close to anyone.

Du Langxing said that Du Liangchen had closed himself off and no longer trusted anyone, fearing betrayal after becoming friends, so he simply didn't want to make friends.
