Don't Pick Up Boyfriends From the Trash BinCh52 - Love Song on Ice (9)

translator: baumkuchen  editors: serefina, glitterypanda

More than a thousand li away, in a noodle shop near the sports school. cgmDNp

Lou Sifan played with his noodles, a little preoccupied.

When He Changsheng, sitting across from him, saw that his expression was strange, he didn’t bother hiding it, directly asking, “What’s up with you? Is there something on your mind?”

Lou Sifan said, “It’s nothing.”

He Changsheng lowered his head and continued eating his rice noodles. “Oh.” ieLOyu

When he didn’t ask any further, Lou Sifan leaned in towards him, a smile on his lips. “If I just say ‘it’s nothing’, you’re not going to ask any further?”

He Changsheng raised his eyebrows. “……Ah?”

 

Lou Sifan liked this about He Changsheng. Usually he looked cold and indifferent, but actually his reactions were always a little slow. With this contrast, he seemed a little cuter. 

tdTLYg

With this kind of wanting to refuse but still welcoming, one step forward and one step back, Lou Sifan felt like the distance between them had lessened by a lot.

This even dispelled some of the distress in his heart.

He said, “The latest youth figure skating series has been quite lively. The coach organised a live broadcast for us during class.”

He Changsheng said, “We’re also watching it. We found a lot of good seedlings.” EofJlc

Lou Sifan said, “The ones you guys are watching are all probably in the pair skating division. Guess whom I saw in the single skating division?”

He Changsheng slurped up his piping hot rice noodles. “Who is it, you know them?”

Lou Sifan just rested his chin on his hand and looked at him, seeming to not be planning on directly giving him the answer.

……That was to say, they both knew this person? kno6Qi

Very quickly, a child standing in the centre of a bathroom, his eyes filled with stubbornness and indifference, appeared in his mind. “……Is it that kid?”

 

Lou Sifan smiled and nodded.

That child called Dong Ge truly looked too similar to how He Changsheng looked when he first saw him. WK8cQT

At that time, He Changsheng had a split lip, cheeks bruised green and purple, and a whole chunk of his hair ripped off. He had been surrounded by a group of children from the sports school and kicked and beaten. When he helped him up, however, his eyes were still bright with stubbornness, extremely unwilling to admit his defeat.

Also, in his memories, little Dong Ge had been just as lonely as He Changsheng. He remembered seeing little Dong Ge sneakily feeding a little yellow dog before, and had also seen him skating alone, going off into a daze alone, and running off to the stands in the ice rink to cry after a quarrel between his parents.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

This type of kind, sensitive, yet prickly person was most likely to arouse Lou Sifan’s protective instincts.

And most importantly, at that time, when Changsheng vaguely heard the sounds of a beating coming from the bathroom, his expression had become so ugly, so how could he just ignore it? 1qhnja

 

He Changsheng asked, “How did he do?”

Lou Sifan said, “The coach said we should study his transitions. He even said that in some areas, his transitions were even better than mine.”

Lou Sifan was praising Dong Ge so much in his speech that it made He Changsheng a little doubtful. “He’s that good?” XpMdkT

Lou Sifan got up and sat himself down next to He Changsheng. He pulled out his phone and played the video he’d recorded for He Changsheng to watch.

 

It was of Dong Ge’s second segment for the preliminaries.

He wore a black and white overalls-style costume, cinched in with a little blue belt. His hair had also been tied into a little ponytail, a bit of gold dusting the ends of his eyes and enhancing his indifferent, fluid gaze. Just one glance towards the camera was enough to let people see the stirring spirit within them. 9Cv2h0

The song he’d chosen was very lively, 《Kikujiro’s Summer》. The blades beneath his feet were just like an extension of his body. He did an uninterrupted series of small toe jumps on the ice, executing them with the ease of someone who had done it a million times.

But his body was also appropriately soft. When he successfully performed a perfect Biellmann spin following an eight-revolution layback spin, his light and graceful posture resembling a drop of water, it caused a large part of the audience to burst into cheers.

 

After single-mindedly watching the entire performance, he made an objective evaluation, “You should really learn from him.” vnReDs

Lou Sifan who originally thought he would be comforted, “……”

After holding back for a long time, he said, “Why is it that you’re saying the exact same thing as Coach Chen?”

He Changsheng was a little puzzled. “Your transitions aren’t as good as his. Or else, what else do you want me to say?”

Lou Sifan decided to not discuss this topic anymore. fd2Kmc

After all, comparing oneself with a junior was never something that would put anyone in a good mood.

He said, “It’s a good thing we helped him out in the beginning, isn’t it?”

……He clearly remembered that day that it was Dong Ge himself, holding a bare mop, who had carried the whole scene. 7hN8XI

Whenever he saw Dong Ge skating freely and fluidly on the competition rink, he always couldn’t help but think, if he hadn’t made a move in the beginning, helping him out in the toilet, and expressing that they knew each other, right now, he might still be suppressed by the bullying of a group of kids his age. Even if he hit back on the spot, they would inevitably come back to take their revenge afterwards. It would have been impossible for him to get such a good opportunity.

In other words, without his help at that time, he might not have had the chance to appear in this competition…… 

  wsNvtQ

Thinking of this, Lou Sifan once more felt an inexplicable wave of restlessness. He sat back down in his original seat, and took a few mouthfuls of his already-cold noodles, making himself think a little more positively.

……Putting it like this, Dong Ge would definitely feel very grateful to him.

Just like He Changsheng in the beginning.

Thinking this way, Lou Sifan’s expression finally eased by a lot.  LYTAId

 

Chi Xiaochi couldn’t be bothered to follow his line of thought. Wasn’t Lou Sifan disgusting enough already?

Since his first public appearance, he had become a media darling. After he successfully entered the finals, even more media personnel came to interview him and Madam Dong.

Facing the camera for the first time, Madam Dong was both shy and nervous. Dong Ge sat by her side accompanying her, silently holding her hand, helping her relax, solemn as if he were already a little adult. slfpyG

When the media asked her how she had brought her child up to be so excellent, Madam Dong’s face turned completely red. Where would she find the shamelessness to paste gold on her face? She could only stutteringly say, it was all her son’s own hard work.

When she said this, she snuck a glance at Dong Ge.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Dong Ge was currently also sneakily peeking at her, his eyes filled with a childish longing.

But after his and Madam Dong’s eyes met for a few seconds, he was as if he awoke from a dream. Like a startled rabbit, he immediately averted his gaze. QkLDwB

His gaze was like a direct hit to Madam Dong’s heart. Her nose immediately turned sour.

After the reporters left, Dong Ge moved down the hotel sofa, sitting next to the bed. He said restrainedly, “Mom, I’ll stay here a while longer, until uncle comes over to take me back to the hotel the competitors are staying at.”

Madam Dong sighed, her hands rubbing restlessly at the seam of her trousers. She didn’t know what to say.

The sports channel on the television was playing this year’s Skate Canada International’s highlight reel. As the melodious music played, Dong Ge suddenly heard Madam Dong’s evaluation from behind him. Io6ylp

“From what I see, your skating is about as good as theirs, huh.”

Every time Dong Ge spoke to Madam Dong, he would become a little nervous. His back muscles tensed. “Their skating is much better than mine.”

Madam Dong got anxious and replied domineeringly, “If Mom says you’re good then you’re good.”

Upon hearing this, Dong Ge was stunned, turning back to look at her. 1mzEC8

His eyes slowly filled with happy surprise. “……Mom……”

Madam Dong moved herself to sit next to him, her expression a little ashamed. “Mom will watch this together with you.”

As Dong Ge looked at his mother, tears suddenly started rolling down, big and round droplets falling one after another, soaking his eyelashes.

Madam Dong’s heart hurt so much for him that her eyes had also turned red. She pulled her child into her arms in a hug. “What are you crying about, a boy……” wDWUu1

Before she could finish, she also started crying.

Dong Ge wiggled a little in her embrace, as if embarrassed, but was hugged even tighter by Madam Dong.

As she wiped at her face, she said in a teary voice, “Aiya, Mom looks incredibly unsightly like this, don’t look.”

  bCPh5z

As a result of this round of intimacy, Chi Xiaochi excused himself for a bath, ran into the bathroom, turned the water on to its strongest, leaned over the sink and vomited until his little face turned green.

061 was incredibly distressed. He got him a glass full of clean water. “Why did you cry?”

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Chi Xiaochi took the glass and rinsed out his mouth. It took a long time before he could speak again, “……It wasn’t me crying.”

061 started slightly. “You’re saying……” QgV5k9

Chi Xiaochi unbuttoned the top button on his shirt and took a deep breath. “It was Dong Ge.”

 

When Dong Feihong came to pick him up, he saw that this pair of mother and son both had a pair of peach eyes

He didn’t say anything. After greeting Madam Dong, he started taking Dong Ge back to his hotel. ybNHsh

Madam Dong had just resolved things with her son. She said rather reluctantly, “Can’t he eat here? I’ll take him out to eat something good.”

Dong Feihong knew that this was a good time for them to stabilise their mother and son relationship, but after some consideration, he said, “Sister-in-law, tomorrow is the finals. This child needs to keep his energy up. He’ll be eating the meal prepared for competitors, which is both full of nutrients and clean. If you take him out, what if he eats something bad and upsets his stomach……”

Madam Dong immediately responded, “That wouldn’t be good. ……Take him back then, be safe on the road. After the competition ends tomorrow, Mom will take you to a good restaurant.”

Dong Feihong nodded with a smile, then said to Dong Ge, “Say goodbye to your mother.” 7EeIdB

Dong Ge nodded slightly, “Bye Mom.”

After walking out of the hotel room, he then poked his head back in and said in a small voice, “……I’ll win first place.”

When the door closed, the middle-aged woman sat down on the bed, her heart sour yet sweet, filled with every kind of emotion.

  FnkgtQ

The next day, she came to the stadium early, so early that the stadium wasn’t even open yet.

While waiting, she bought a souvenir book and a souvenir coin, even buying a pair of ice skates that looked incredibly gorgeous but didn’t at all meet competition standards.

Her anxiety was completely captured in Dong Feihong’s eyes. “Sister-in-law, you should have a little confidence in Dong Ge.”

Madam Dong’s mouth was stiff. She said, “I do, how can you say I don’t. How could I possibly not know my own son?” afdgsb

Even though she said this, before Dong Ge came on, she went to the toilet three times, and asked Dong Feihong “when will Xiao Ge come on” at least five times. 

Every time, Dong Feihong would patiently repeat the rule about appearance order following the reverse ranking order.

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Dong Ge’s total points from his previous round earned him first place, so he would be the last to appear.

After having listened to Dong Feihong’s explanation, Madam Dong would always let out a thoughtful “oh”, and then after another while she would once again be unable to keep from asking the same question. gWNDCU

She even couldn’t resist running to the smoking section and smoking a cigarette.

 

After a long wait, the commentator finally announced, “The next competitor, and also the last competitor to come up: No. 5, Dong Ge!”

Before Madam Dong could stand, she was struck dumb by the cheers and applause coming from the entire stadium. sr7hY3

……Practically everyone around her was cheering for her son.

They called out Dong Ge’s name, wanting to see for themselves the rise of tomorrow’s star.

As Madam Dong sat in the stands, she was assaulted by a huge wave of emotions, making her eyes well up with hot tears before she even saw her son’s performance begin.

  RiTsYP

Dong Feihong patted Madam Dong on the shoulder with one hand, and at the same time, watched the person in the centre of the rink attentively.

Chi Xiaochi, or rather, Dong Ge, was wearing an elegant, flowy costume today. On his upper half was a red top that faded to white, with a classical colour and lustre and a texture that was just like top-notch porcelain glaze. On his bottom half was a pair of pure black pants, which especially emphasized his pair of naturally long legs.

His skin was on the paler side, so the brilliant red contrasted perfectly with the paleness of his skin. The woven silk clothing seemed especially flowy on his body.

Every outfit that had appeared on his body had been designed together by Dong Ge and Dong Feihong, and then made by an expert that Dong Feihong had hired. Every set was worth more than ten thousand yuan. vD7INY

And this current outfit, was Dong Feihong’s favourite.

When Dong Ge put it on, he looked just like a young and prideful little phoenix. 

 

These finals were being broadcasted live on the sports channel. gTU9NV

At that moment, it wasn’t just Dong Feihong and Madam Dong, Mister Dong was also squatting in front of the television, watching attentively with a few old friends.

Old Friend A pointed at the Dong Ge in the television and said, “Yi, Xiao Dong Ge looks really spirited.”

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Mister Dong’s mouth fell open slightly.

In his memories, Dong Ge was a snot-nosed child bundled up into a ball, who didn’t like to talk and didn’t even like looking up at other people. Even three whacks with a rod couldn’t even get a fart out of him. eX78rG

But that half-grown youth standing on the rink, with calm features, a slender waist, and long legs, was actually poles apart from the little bratty kid in his memories.

 

The pair-skating finals had already ended the day before, so both He Changsheng’s and Lou Sifan’s classrooms were showing a simultaneous broadcast of Dong Ge’s competition.

He Changsheng spun his pen in his hand, watching this younger brother who still had limitless possibilities, wanting to see what he could do. ywQJ6Z

Lou Sifan also stared at the screen. It was unknown what he was thinking.

 

Under countless tangible and intangible eyes, Dong Ge placed one hand on his shoulder. His eyes were half-lidded, like a resting kitten.

The moment the music started, he moved. y3Rlhg

The commentary was still being made by the two men who commentated Dong Ge’s preliminary round, but like everyone else, their gazes towards Dong Ge were completely unlike the gazes they had used to look at Dong Ge during the preliminary round.

Upon hearing the music, the non-professional commentator immediately said, “This song is 《The Dawn》.”

The retired skater looked towards Dong Ge like he was looking at a future hope. “He can adapt to different performance styles.”

  xrZ23k

Under the warm lights, the ice shimmered faintly. The youth’s silky clothes fluttered in the wind.

The woven silk wrapped around his body like flowing water. His movements were still as smooth and fluid, but his dance steps had become much more gorgeous.

An elegant hydroblade, followed by an illusion spin was already enough to make the entire stadium break out into cheers.

And as the music gradually reached its climax, Dong Ge’s gaze gradually blurred. 2RGDsx

……A struggling departed spirit was going through the fires of hell, experiencing rebirth in flames.

As the low voice began reciting its lines, Dong Ge’s lips parted slightly, silently reciting the words along with the song. Then, he opened his mouth, pulled off his right glove with his teeth, and threw it towards the crowd.

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

When he was still alive, this action had raised a lot of criticism, with many people thinking he was just being a sensationalist. Yet at this moment, after he threw it, the entire stadium practically exploded.

Before the cheers fell, he lifted his wrist, and threw himself off the ice in a jump. 0RcVZd

The retired skater suddenly choked. He cried out in a hoarse voice, “3A! It’s a 3A!”

A 3A jumped by a child! A perfect, flawless 3A!

Seeing this, all the way in Binzhou, Lou Sifan’s jaw dropped.

In the next classroom over, He Changsheng’s pen clattered onto the table. xtsOW

 

But Dong Ge’s heartbeat didn’t even speed up. As the music slowed, he stretched open his arms to form an arabesque, skating along half the rink as if roaming around his own territory.

He was back.

Dong Ge was back. ROEuTS

 

When the music fell, only then did Dong Ge’s tears fall as his heart began to pound.

Just as he turned to look at the camera, a teardrop rolled down his face. Paired with his slightly sweaty fringe and pure eyes, his beauty made one’s heart skip.

As Chi Xiaochi gasped for breath, he said to 061, “This time, it’s me crying.”  TmN4xf

 

This single tear truly drove the media crazy. For a time, countless exaggerated praises rushed at Dong Ge like snowflakes.

And before Dong Ge had even returned to Binshi, an invitation letter from the provincial figure skating team was sent to the sports school.

The author has something to say:

“He has this opportunity entirely because of me.”

Please visit chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

“He’ll be grateful to me.”

Experience for a moment how Fake Lou, like rain, silently, softly, moistening all, beautifies and boosts himself up……  HQGFYM

He really thinks he’s a Holy Mother _(:з」∠)_


sere: sleeping plot finally stirred a bit after we all got sidetracked by the fluff

baum: i have no idea why there are three programs here. i have two possibilities: 1, there is only one prelim, the one last chapter was his short program, the summer one is his long program, and because DG is extra he came up with a new long program for finals, or 2, there are two prelims, DG is super extra and so he came up with three different long programs (cause free skates are longer and skaters have more freedom with them so i would expect author to focus more on them, rather than the short program)

also, I just found out that there are trashbin fanfics!! although, there are spoilers abound there so be warned if you want to check them out. like, just going onto the ao3 page spoils 023’s name hahaha MXinjd

I like the fact that the very first fanfic posted features Elder Sun <3 he has had to deal with so much shit from CXC, the poor man. He’s one of my faves even though he doesn’t ever get much screentime~ also, if anyone here reads the raws and is starved for more Sun Guangren, he shows up in 我恐怕是一条咸鱼了

anyways, the songs:

okay this is confusing, because there is a movie, called kikujiro’s summer/kikujiro, but no song called kikujiro’s summer. but there is a song called summer in its soundtrack, and summer is v famous. so that might be what the author’s talking about? anyways link is at the end of the chapter as always

  1. Excellent quality as always!

    I laughed so hard at the last part: “He has this opportunity entierely because of me.” Like b*tch d*mn puh-leave

    • Yuzuru Hanyu’s impression is very strong in this ^_^ That’s a perfect road for you boy, never leave it!

  2. The sifan fuxker is so shitty…i keep hating these assholes that i forget…that the name of the novel is garbage boyfriends🤬

  3. I think on the previous chapter it was a short and long and then they changed the long program on the finals probably. I had heard some skaters doing that before but it is hard af since you have to memorize three different choreos and have to make it nearly perfect but you don’t have as much time to practice it perfectly so yeah CXZ you lovely mf i love you, te amo, 사랑해, 我爱你 💕💕

  4. Bless your soul for including all the gifs. My favorite story.

    Our son CXC is beautiful😭 And Dong Ge the purest boy, I’m happy he now has the chance to feel what he missed in last life.But lol Changsheng, I wonder if he’s going to get attrackted to Dong Ge in any way.And can we fire Lou Sifan from the story? Lol, thanks.

  5. I was lisening the score born for this and it was super epic

  6. HCS is like,,,, sUPER GOOD gong material (as in generally not for CXC ofc)

    And that trash… Is he srsly on some drugs or smthn to be that shameless?? He truly never fails to amaze me!

    Thanks for the chapter! 🙂

  7. I love the links to see the different gifs and also the short explanations, really adds to the reading experience 😍

    • HDHJSJDJSOAKE SENPAI NOTICED ME (us)

      I’m sorry the ao3 tags spoils basically all names, it just saves a lot of effort in the long run to canonize the character tags properly wheezes

      Also, I just love Sun Guangren. He’s Chi Xiaochi’s rightful dad, no doubt about it (nods)

      I love this chapter so much for the first segment. It’s such a lowkey yet powerful showcasing of how much Chi Xiaochi sets the foundation for longterm selfcare for his hosts. Especially with the younger hosts, he takes such good care of them……….. he’s wonderful

      When he said “this [tear] is mine” I’m just….. hes so proud of Dong Ge… ……….

      • AAAA IM SORRY I have no idea why this became a reply to you, I swear I didn’t click on any reply and they won’t let me delete and resubmit it sorry!!!

  8. Thank you very much!!

    And wow, this gong can be defeated by long distance. I will never doubt our CXC again.

  9. Hehehehe~

    See that pig brain? Our xiao Chi is shortening the story~

    Now that CXC is going to their school in advance, will LSF try to show up in front of him with a “come and show gratitude to laozi, I will let you be my lackey” kind of attitude (to make himself feel superior, as he keep saying to himself that it was all thanks to himself that DG was able to be there) only to see the boy roll his eyes and ignore him, acting like a little male god and stealing the spot light. Then after that Lou Trash would start to bully him, only to be seen by HCS and his level of regret skyrocket~

    I wonder if HCS will fall for DG~?😍

    Though I’m unable to tell who would be the 1 or 0~, after all, with CXC’s teaching DG is on the way of turning into a male god, cool and domineering, while HCS seem to be the type to be protected~

    At this rate CXC might really complete this task under 1 year~

    Good thing CXC have been teaching DG how to socialize and 061 help him connect to his parents~

    Thanks for the chapter!

  10. This fake Lou has a bloated sense of self peh peh.

    Good for you DG/CX. That 3A is a really difficult jump. Congrats!😘

    Thank you for the chapter

  11. Thank you for the chapter!

    This might be my favorite arc so far because of the Yuzuru hanyu I can see from the TN lol. And I can’t stop thinking of DG as Yuzuru when he is on ice esp when they mentioned hydroblade!

  12. Liu Sifan is delusional, how can he think anything Dong Ge does is because of him? Ha, dream on, Scum.

    Dong Ge and Chi Xiaochi, keep doing your best!

    Thanks for the chapter!

  13. …I feel like punching that Lou Sifan. He’s just too.

    ARGH.

    cough thank you for the update cough

  14. Every skater performs two programs: first is the short program, and the second is the free skate program. I got this from Yuri on Ice 😍😍😍😍

    Then, he opened his mouth, pulled off his right glove with his teeth, and threw it towards the crowd.

    Is that you, Yurio (Yuri Plisetsky)?! 😂😂😂😂😂 though in the YOI PV it’s Otabek who removed Yurio’s glove using his teeth and it was sunglasses Yurio threw. Welcome to Madness is the title of Yurio’s skate

    LSF scum thinks he’s he’s the Holy father, son and spirit. He thinks the world revolves on him

    • Free skate is the long program, btw. And… Yuzu baby! 😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗😗

      Im conflicted with HCS. HCS is a good person, i think. He was just with that LSF. However, i think, with HCS’s personality, he’ll still with LSF in the end – not only out of gratitude, but also scolding LSF in the process.

      This LSF. He wants to top HCS, so he’s f*cking DG to relieve his desires. Yet he will be f*cked by HCS.

      HCS is such a good man *sigh LSF is just delusional.

  15. the figure skating gifs are one of the best parts of this arc… along with everything else ofc

  16. How delusional can you get Lou Sifan? Ah, I really want Dong Ge to end up with He Changsheng so that that scum would get critical double hit.

  17. LOL, reading his moves and his clothes i couldn’t help but always but relate it to Yuzuru Hanyu. But wait, Yuzuru Hanyu at that age have a pure like a jade and cute like a puppy expression LOL, so i can’t imagine him with a cold or indifferent look created by CXC

  18. I know the mom does carry some blame (strictly in the last life) but I can’t help but adore her! Plus I feel like even if it was the past MC and she came to the competion she’d be crazily cheering as well (even with a loss)

  19. I don’t know why but I feel a little bit bad for He Changsheng as he don’t know his “best friend’s” facade.

    Happy to see that Madam and Mr. Dong started to watch their son’s performance

    Eat that 3A fake holy mother!!! Eat that!!!

  20. “If Mom says you’re good then you’re good.”

    Period. Ladies and Gents, I present to you a Mother. She doesn’t whine, doesn’t hurt, doesn’t leave everything to her son. She works hard, she cries when she’s proud, and she *decrees*. A round of applause.

    And Lou Sifan is delusional.

  21. When I read the part where cried, I also teared up. For some reason, I’m remembering Yuri from Yuri on Ice.

  22. I really appreciate the gifs, they make the descriptions really enjoyable🥰

  23. Ahhhh, glorious ‘Yuri On Ice’ feels. First time I’ve seen such a setting in a transmigration novel.

    How beautiful~

    Thank you for adding gifs to every move, it was quite a lovely experience. It was as if I was really watching Dong Ge own the rink and be in his own element.

    Thanks for the chapter 💕

  24. Omg yes! yes! yes! I love this chapter so much. The descriptions were the best. I could see it so vividly. The emotions so real. Thank you guys so much for translating this masterpiece!

  25. Wow can I just say how grateful I am to translator and editor samas?Just- thank you so much for putting effort into the slightest details. These little things really really made the story more enjoyable. The notes were very much appreciated and the comments you guys wrote like lol, love it~

  26. Amazing! Amazing!!!! Brava Dong Ge, brava!! 💐💐💐💐💐💐🧸🧸🧸

    Thanks again to the awesome translating team as well! You guys rock!

  27. So BEAUTIFUL – playing that music and reading the skating scene, and CXC’s ” This time, it’s me crying.” made me tear up too

  28. I am LOVING the songs, so beautiful! Thank you for the chapter and the gifs 💕

  29. Sifan needs a few good slaps, I refuse to even associate the term lou-ge with him, it’s sacrilegious. I quite like HCS? I get the feeling he might end up with DG.

    DG…baby ..babiest baby

    • Damn Yuzuru Hanyu so handsome 😖✊

  30. Oh. My. God. We have a delusional sht as a target. Wow, just how highly do you think yourself you sht? And now what, you want to be like that 1.8 piled up trash from the first world and have Dong Ge devote himself to you? Excuse me bitch, You didn’t help him aaatttt allll. Stupid f*ck.

  31. When that trash lou said “he has this opportunity entirely because of me” I just had the teeny tiny bit of urge to go s story and beat him up!

  32. Lou Sifan : “ In other words, without his help at that time, he might not have had the chance to appear in this competition…… “

    Hey hi, can anyone lend me a mop so i can woop his ass to be awake of his fantasy dream please ❤️?

  33. Thank you for putting gifs of all the moves.

    Though I don’t see the difference between the differently called jumps.

  34. Ah Yuri on Ice …… but Dong ge would be more like younger Victor Nickiferov with his long hair 😍😍😍😍

  35. something i love about this series compared to other QTs are that the original soul is still there and everything the mc does is with the original and for the original’s chance at happiness. the success he achieves isn’t just him, it’s the original’s as well. it always felt off when in other QT novels with revenge, the original soul is already dead and the transmigrator gets to be happy and fall in love in their body despite not having gone through the struggles themselves. in this novel, most of the actions/emotions are driven by the original’s souls with the cooperation of the mc in order to help them achieve happiness.
  36. Fake Lou, It’s for you….

    If you like the way you look that much

    *Baby, you should go and f**k yourself*

  37. Ah this makes me want to learn to ice skate! Ah.. it’s too late now! I only 2 years left in school 😅

  38. jesus christ, i wanted to stand up to cheer while reading this lmao. IT WAS SO GOOD AND THRILLING, I’M SO HAPPY FOR DONG GE.

  39. I’m doing nothing rn I’m just sitting and reading this but it gives me a satisfaction that like I’m the one who just now made those graceful figures

  40. I love all of the illustrations and explanations of cultural references! This has been great from the start but in this arc you’ve really outdone yourselves with the figure skating videos! The flow of the language is beautiful too. Thanks!
