A sad fact is that Xia Menghuan's balance ability is much worse than that of ordinary people, so it was not until the end of the semester that she really learned to skate, and she could not fall without being held by anyone.
In fact, her slow learning progress has a lot to do with Liao Zhenyu's teaching method. Most people start skating from wrestling. Liao Zhenyu is always worried about Xia Menghuan wrestling and takes too much care of her on the ice rink, which makes her learning slower.
At the end of the semester, when she finally learned to skate, Xia Menghuan found that she could indeed take off her gloves.
However, at this time, Liao Zhenyu no longer needed to hold her hand.
this, big liar... qaq

Liao Zhenyu spent most of the summer vacation in Lincheng. For this reason, his father also called gossip and asked, "Stinky boy, are you in love?"
"No," Liao Zhenyu replied, "Didn't I tell you, I signed up for the club's summer volunteers."
This is one of the activities of the Xiaolong Club to promote skating. However, in the hot summer, this time they promote ice skating instead of real ice, but simulated ice.
The artificial ice rink is a board laid with high molecular polyethylene, and the material has its own lubricating function, imitating the effect of the real ice surface. It is said that a good artificial ice rink can be 95% similar to real ice. The artificial ice rink is low-cost, energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and can be used in all seasons. It has a very good market prospect, but it is a pity that the popularity and recognition among ordinary people are relatively low.
The owner of the Xiaolong Club is a passionate ice and snow lover. He has cooperated with the government to create a project of "simulating ice rinks into the community". This summer, four non-profit artificial ice rinks have entered the community and are open to the public free of charge.
The volunteers registered by Liao Zhenyu are volunteers at these ice rinks to help nearby residents understand and use the simulated ice skating rinks.
Naturally, he did not forget to take Xia Menghuan with him when he signed up.
Xia Menghuan actually doesn't like being a volunteer. It was hot, tired, and unpleasant. The quality of the residents varies. Some are very polite, while others regard themselves as emperors and volunteers as grandsons.
But Xia Menghuan likes to do things with Liao Zhenyu.
Being with the person you like is sweet and easy, which can offset all the pain of flesh and blood.
Sometimes, passing by near the ice rink, a gangster with dyed yellow hair wearing a plastic gold chain and more than half of his shirt open would whistle at Xia Menghuan when he saw Xia Menghuan.
At this time, Liao Zhenyu supported the fence of the ice rink and smiled at the little gangster, "Yo, my brother is in good shape."
The little bastard ignored him.
Liao Zhenyu: "I invite you to a movie, brother?"
"roll!"
Liao Zhenyu was not annoyed at being scolded, and secretly glanced at Xia Menghuan beside him.
He didn't want to admit that with Xia Menghuan, he became more and more limitless...

After a few days, Liao Zhenyu took a week off. The reason for the holiday…
One morning, he woke up in the dormitory to the sound of water, and the whole room was filled with a damp smell. Feeling strange, he sat up and stretched, wanting to get out of bed.
Just as his head stuck out of the bed, he was so shocked that he almost fell off.
The ground was full of water, and the depth of the water was at least 20 centimeters. His plastic slippers floated on the water like two helpless boats in the ocean.
What the heck, how to sleep and feel that the whole world has changed. How scary!
Liao Zhenyu had a confused look on his face. At first, he thought it was a leak in the water pipe. When he got out of bed, he inadvertently glanced out the window, and there was a sea outside.
Well, he knew what was going on.
He turned on his mobile phone and searched for news. Sure enough, it rained heavily in the city last night. The rain was so fast that the drainage system could not carry it, so waterlogging occurred.
Liao Zhenyu's dormitory was on the first floor, and naturally bore the brunt of the flood.
The rain has stopped temporarily, and it is said that it will rain today.
He waded out the door, wanting to have some breakfast first. The dormitory building has a foundation, and the ground on the first floor is dozens of centimeters higher than the outside. If the water in the dormitory building is 20 centimeters deep, then the outside is at least fifty or sixty centimeters. Liao Zhenyu didn't know that the cafeteria was closed today. If it was open, he might have to swim over by himself.
Liao Zhenyu was not in a good mood. Carrying an umbrella, he trudged through the turbid water all the way to the door of the dormitory building. As soon as he opened the door, he found a... ah no, an inflatable kayak parked outside.
Xia Menghuan was sitting on the kayak, smiling with frowning eyes, and waved at him, "Liao Zhenyu!"
At that time, the sky outside was still cloudy, but Liao Zhenyu's heart suddenly cleared up.
There is nothing better than the person you love is waiting for you.
And people still come by boat... It's even more touching.
Liao Zhenyu boarded the kayak and noticed that his cousin was also there. He greeted his cousin, "You're here too."
My cousin was speechless for a while, "I'm such a big living person, have you only seen it now?"
Xia Menghuan stuffed an insulated lunch box into Liao Zhenyu's arms, "Please have breakfast."
"Thank you." Liao Zhenyu's heart was warm, and he lowered his head to open the insulated lunch box, and saw that there were steamed buns, fried eggs, and bacon inside. Fried eggs and bacon are both heart-shaped.
Liao Zhenyu felt itchy when he looked at the heart-shaped food. He didn't know if it was a common hobby of girls, or, or...
He ate breakfast and asked, "Why are you here?"
My cousin smiled, "You ask her!"
Liao Zhenyu looked at Xia Menghuan.
Xia Menghuan explained: "I saw on the news that a crocodile farm was flooded and many crocodiles came out."
Liao Zhenyu immediately understood and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will be eaten by a crocodile?"
Xia Menghuan didn't answer, she just turned her face to look at the building that was left behind by them in the distance.
Liao Zhenyu burst out laughing, not laughing too loudly, and while trying to hold back her laughter, she ate the care she made. Xia Menghuan was a little annoyed when she heard his intermittent suppressed laughter, and asked back: "Am I right? Is it possible for the crocodile to swim to the city? Even if he didn't swim by himself, is it possible that he would be washed over by the water? Did he come here? Maybe I just swam into the school? I just met you? Is it possible?!"
"Yes, yes..." Liao Zhenyu nodded quickly.
"Then why are you smiling?"
"Because you're cute isn't it?"
Xia Menghuan choked, blushed, turned her head away, and stopped talking.

After the start of school and entering the sophomore year, Liao Zhenyu's homework has changed from a lot to a lot, so much that he can't even afford his extracurricular interests, so he withdrew from other clubs and only retained his part-time job at the ice skating hall.
In the new semester, Xia Menghuan also has a new goal.
- She, want, be, patrol, ice, staff.
This can be considered a challenge, as ice patrols are quite physically demanding.
Fortunately, Xia Menghuan has been practicing skating for the past few months, and her physical fitness has improved a lot.
The busy and fulfilling time passed quickly. By the time Xia Menghuan finally passed the double test of the club's physical fitness and skills and obtained the qualification as an ice patroller, it was already November.
Coincidentally, the day she got the qualification happened to be Singles' Day.
Liao Zhenyu bought some beer and snacks, and the two sat on the steps outside the back door of the skating hall to celebrate for her.
Xia Menghuan was in a particularly good mood today, her face was flushed, and her eyes were bright. Liao Zhenyu looked at her like that and wanted to pinch her face.
Xia Menghuan usually seldom drinks, but now he opened it up and raised it in front of Liao Zhenyu, "Liao Zhenyu, thank you."
Liao Zhenyu looked into her eyes, and he felt how charming and charming her eyes were at the moment. Holding the beer, he asked with a smile, "Thank me for what?"
"You know, there are some things I never dared to think about before."
"What are you, you're an ice patroller."
Xia Menghuan shook her head, "It means a different thing to me. I'm very timid, I'm not in good health, and I have low self-esteem."
Liao Zhenyu sighed leisurely, "Actually, everyone has low self-esteem. Those who are born fearless like the boss, after all, are few."
"That's right," Xia Menghuan nodded and added, "but I'm the kind of... I can only go on if someone holds my hand and walks with me. Do you understand what I mean? Liao Zhenyu, because there are You've been holding my hand and I've been able to get here. So I want to thank you."
Liao Zhenyu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly there were thousands of emotions in his heart. He didn't think he was leading her, he thought they were walking together hand in hand. Walked through the night and day together, rainy and snowy.
But he didn't say what was in his heart. He just took a sip of wine, raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and said with a smile, "Then how are you going to thank me?"
Xia Menghuan tilted her head to look at him and smiled, "Then what do you want?"
Liao Zhenyu didn't answer, he looked into the distance and drank slowly.
Xia Menghuan puffed out her cheeks and remained silent.
Sometimes, we are always guessing, hesitating, hesitating, and testing when we are faced with feelings. His heart turned a thousand times, and his face was as if nothing had happened.
He can observe words and expressions and analyze them in detail, but he lacks the courage to blurt out.
The two of them drank quietly for a while, then put down the beer and ate edamame. Xia Menghuan is a slow person. She peels edamame slowly, and eats beans slowly. She has just eaten two or three, and Liao Zhenyu has already eaten a handful of edamame skins.
She peeked at him while eating edamame.
Then, she saw with her own eyes that he reached for the beer, but it was hers.
"That's mine." Xia Menghuan reminded.
Liao Zhenyu let out an "oh", put down the half can of beer calmly, and picked up his own instead.
Xia Menghuan suddenly said, "Liao Zhenyu, you are not being honest."
Liao Zhenyu was bringing the beer to his mouth, but when he heard what she said, he stopped and looked at her calmly, "Huh?"
She leaned over slowly, slowly approaching him.
Liao Zhenyu's heart lifted, and his spirit was tense. Seeing her approaching little by little, although he was nervous, he didn't plan to retreat, but just put his arms back, propped up his body, and looked into her eyes.
Xia Menghuan drank the wine, her eyes were not as bright as before, but now they were covered in a layer of intoxication.
She finally got very close, and her body was almost close to him. Liao Zhenyu's body had memories of her. At this moment, he felt the approaching of her soft, petite body exuding heat. His mouth was dry and his throat was light. Scrolling lightly, breathing became disordered.
Xia Menghuan looked at him like this and smiled.
Then, she suddenly stretched her neck and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.
"I'll still kiss you if you're not honest," she said.
Liao Zhenyu couldn't tell whether it was a threat or a tease. He only knew that because of her, fireworks exploded in his mind. When he recovered his soul from the fragments of fireworks and wanted to pay her respects, she had already stood up and left with a beer.
Jumping and walking.
Liao Zhenyu looked at her slightly staggered back, and muttered to herself, "Are you drunk or not?"
Soon, Liao Zhenyu came to the conclusion: This guy is not drunk.
Because, she actually played role-playing with the boss in the chat group. Although the actress was crazy, her speech logic was very clear.
In short, not drunk!
—
It was a happy thing that he was not drunk, but the next day, Liao Zhenyu received bad news.
The guy who was kissing him last night even discussed going on a blind date with him today!
Ahhh what a kiss! Can you be a little more responsible
Liao Zhenyu criticized her righteously and sternly.
After that, he was worried and went to the mall to buy a gold chain.
Damn, labor and management have to tie up this stuff.
He threw the golden chain to Xia Menghuan, who held it in his hand.
Liao Zhenyu: "Do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood," Xia Menghuan nodded obediently, "This is not plastic, it should be real gold."
Liao Zhenyu almost vomited blood, "Hundan, I want you to be my girlfriend."
Xia Menghuan's movement of putting on the gold chain stopped, looked into his eyes, and suddenly smiled.
No one knew, she liked him from the first sight.
One year and two months, four hundred and thirty-six days, every day I live in a secret love.
Now, he asks her to be his girlfriend.
"You said it earlier."
