Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

After the performance, Du Liangchen took his bows to the crowd, and to his surprise, many people threw bouquets at him.

Du Liangchen waved excitedly to them and then walked off the ice rink.

Dulanxing put a coat on him to keep him from catching a cold.

The scores are out, and we are currently ranked first.

Backstage to rest.

After the match, I returned to my accommodation.

In the evening, Mei Jing and I reviewed today's game with Coach Mei, and then we each made arrangements for the next game.

Du Liangchen won first place after the free skate.

Mei Jing came in third place.

Both players successfully advanced to the finals.

We went back and celebrated with hot pot.

In the subsequent Grand Prix, Mei Jing won the runner-up title, and Du Liangchen won the third place.

He went back and received praise and a large bonus.

I used to get prize money for winning medals, but never as much as this time.

This is the best result ever achieved by a men's singles player.

This Grand Prix Final also introduced Mei Jing and Du Liangchen to figure skaters from various countries.

Their combined achievements earned them two spots in the Olympics.

This caused a stir among the national team members, who were overwhelmed by the good news.

Before Mei Jing and Du Liangchen could even be happy, they were plunged into a frenzied training session.

Du Liangchen and Du Langxing went abroad for training. Before leaving, Du Liangchen and Mei Jing talked for a long time, cheering each other on every day and promising to meet on the field.

Du Liangchen, feeling dizzy, was carried out of the airport by his uncle and took a taxi back to his residence.

After resting for two days, they returned to the club for training.

However, when Du Liangchen returned this time, he found that the atmosphere had changed, or more precisely, everyone's attitude towards Du Liangchen had changed.

Some were friendly and were destined to talk to Du Liangchen, while others scoffed at him and looked down on him.

I told Du Langxing about it when I got home that night.

"This is normal, because now that you have achieved results, people's attitudes towards you will be very different, but you need to pay more attention."

Don't let anything that goes into your mouth, such as water and nutritional powder, or your ice skates out of your sight.

Especially with opened items, once they're out of sight, you shouldn't eat them anymore.

Du Langxing cautiously and seriously warned Du Liangchen repeatedly: Society is tiring, competitive sports are even more chaotic; one should not have the heart to harm others, but one must be wary of others.

“I understand. Actually, what they do doesn’t affect me much. I’m just afraid you’ll worry.”

"I understand your mindset, but I still need to give you some instructions. I will be more careful in the future."

Du Liangchen understood that it was that past incident that made them all become cautious.

After all, his athletic career was almost ruined by certain people.

Although the daily training is tough, the Olympics are just around the corner.

Du Liangchen and Du Lang went to Albertville, France, the host city of the Olympic Games, ahead of time.

Du Liangchen was carried out, and many people took pictures of him.

After Du Liangchen and Mei Jingsheng won medals in the Grand Prix Finals, some people who love winter sports got to know the two and started following and collecting information about them.

Unexpectedly, Du Liangchen was quickly criticized and became a trending topic because of his overseas training and his disrespectful treatment of his coach, making him carry the coach around.

This sparked widespread dissatisfaction among netizens, who flooded the internet with posts criticizing him. As a result, people who didn't care about winter sports or even know Du Liangchen became aware of him and learned that he was an athlete simply by joining in the fun.
