Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

In the hot pot restaurant, Du Liangchen and Mei Jing watched the bubbling hot pot and began to eat.

Seeing Mei Jing take all the shrimp from the pot, Du Liangchen stared wide-eyed at his bowl, then at his own. He said, looking aggrieved, "You...you took them all?"

Seeing him like this, Mei Jing was charmed. She put the freshly peeled shrimp meat into the plate opposite her and said with a sweet smile, "I took them all, but I didn't say you couldn't have any."

Du Liangchen happily picked up a shrimp and stuffed it into his mouth, saying indistinctly, "I knew it, you're not the type to be possessive of your food."

Mei Jing didn't say anything, but smiled and put another shrimp on his plate.

Du Liangchen started eating the other things in the pot, and soon a plate of shrimp was pushed in front of him.

"Mei Jing, why are you pushing all the food onto me? Aren't you going to eat it?"

"I peeled it for you; I don't really like the fishy smell of shrimp."

"Oh? Thank you so much. Mei Jinglai, come and eat this, it's your favorite."

Du Liangchen was stunned for a moment, then pulled the plate in front of him. It was really great that someone was willing to go to so much trouble to help.

He stuffed his mouth full in just a few sips, and Mei Jing thoughtfully handed him a glass of water, afraid he would choke.

Du Liangchen took it and put it aside, then continued eating.

After finishing his meal, Du Liangchen went to pay the bill, only to be told that he had already paid.

"When did you pay the bill? How come I didn't know?"

"When I went to get you some tissues."

"Oh, that's right after we ordered. You're so quick! I'll transfer the money to you in a bit."

"No need..." Mei Jing saw the person in front of him pursing his lips and looking at him with a stern face, so he changed his words and said, "It's too troublesome to go back and forth. Why don't you invite him back next time?"

Du Liangchen also found it troublesome: "That's fine too. I have a dance class in a bit, I have to go now."

"My coach said I should learn to dance and find my rhythm. But I haven't found a teacher I'm satisfied with yet. Can I go with you to take a look?"

Du Liangchen: "Let's go then, but I study folk dance, which has a slow rhythm and is a bit boring."

Mei Jing shook her head and said with a smile, "No, that won't happen."

The two took a taxi back to Du Liangchen's home. Du Liangchen changed into his dance practice clothes, and then he and Mei Jing walked two streets to the dance studio.

Everyone who saw Du Liangchen along the way greeted him, and then the two arrived at a classroom.

The teacher saw Du Liangchen bringing people over and asked him a question.

Du Liangchen said he was there to accompany his friend, but he didn't mention that he wanted to find a teacher to learn dance, because he knew that if he did, the teacher would strongly push courses on him, which would be troublesome.

If Mei Jing likes this class, she will naturally get a membership card. She shouldn't be forced to spend money just because it's inconvenient.

The teacher ignored Mei Jing after hearing what he said and let him warm up on his own before practicing the Dai dance taught in the previous lesson.

Mei Jing sat on a chair outside, watching Du Liangchen warm up and then dance. He had been captivated by Du Liangchen's dance from the first time he saw him. Du Liangchen was like an elf dancing on the ice, and every move he made was indescribably beautiful.

At that time, his movements were still very stiff, but he was still likable, just like his dance had a soul, not just focusing on the appearance.

Mei Jing stared at the graceful figure, unaware that anyone was approaching.

It wasn't until the song ended that Mei Jing noticed a man sitting next to her.

"You must be Mei Jing. I've watched your matches."
