Protagonist:
Lin Hao
Zhou Bingkun watched their departing figures, spat disdainfully, and said: "Just relying on those few cowards, they still dare to spout harsh words? If they have the guts, let them come try again!"
Cai Xiaoguang also frowned and said: "These little hooligans, normally they only know how to stir up trouble everywhere; today if it weren't for Lin Hao being here, who knows how much trouble they would have caused."
Zhou Bingkun patted Lin Hao's shoulder and said with a smile: "Haozi, don't mind them, but your skills are really impressive, you beat them until they ran away with their tails between their legs, so satisfying!"
Lin Hao smiled and said: "It's nothing, they're just all talk; I reckon they don't dare to really come looking for trouble again."
Zheng Juan, Ding Xiu, and Zhang Yumei, the three young women standing nearby, also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. In Zhang Yumei's gaze toward Lin Hao, there was added a few more points of admiration; she said softly: "Lin Hao, you're really brave."
Hearing this, Lin Hao's face turned slightly red, and he scratched his head as he said: "It's nothing; encountering this kind of thing, we definitely can't let them bully you."
After this incident, everyone admired Lin Hao even more, and between Lin Hao and Zhang Yumei, because of this accident, there seemed to be a different kind of tacit understanding and closeness.
Seeing those few little hooligans slink away dejectedly, the several people didn't take their harsh words too seriously; after all, everyone knew deep down that those were just the hooligans talking tough to save face, and they reckoned they wouldn't dare to really come stir up trouble again.
So, everyone continued to immerse themselves in the fun of ice skating.
But Lin Hao was in a dilemma; he stood at the edge of the ice rink, watching others glide lightly back and forth on the ice, his heart itching, yet he was also a bit apprehensive.
It turned out that Lin Hao hadn't skated much before; at this moment looking at this slippery ice surface, he really didn't know how to take a step.
Zhou Rong noticed Lin Hao's awkwardness from the side and secretly chuckled in her heart; her eyes rolled, and she immediately came up with an idea. Only to see her smile and say to Zhang Yumei: "Yumei, you see Lin Hao doesn't know how to skate well; your skating skills are so good, why don't you teach him, so he can catch up with our pace sooner."
Hearing this, Zhang Yumei looked at the somewhat awkward Lin Hao, and inexplicably felt a bit happy in her heart. She nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Alright, then I'll teach Lin Hao."
Hearing this, Lin Hao immediately felt a bit embarrassed; he scratched his head and said: "This... this won't be too much trouble for you, right? I'm afraid I'm too stupid and won't learn well."
Zhang Yumei walked to Lin Hao's side and said with a smile: "It's fine, ice skating isn't hard to learn; as long as you master the technique, you'll learn quickly. When I first started learning, I didn't know how either; come, I'll hold you first."
Saying this, Zhang Yumei reached out her hand and gently held Lin Hao's arm.
Lin Hao only felt a warm current transmitted from his arm, and his heart also became nervous and excited along with it. He carefully followed Zhang Yumei's guidance, slowly moving his feet onto the ice surface.
At the beginning, Lin Hao's body swayed, just like a toddler who just learned to walk; several times he almost fell, but thanks to Zhang Yumei holding him tightly from the side, he managed to steady his posture.
While holding Lin Hao, Zhang Yumei patiently explained ice skating techniques to him: "Lin Hao, look, when skating you need to lower your center of gravity, bend your knees slightly, then use the inside or outside of your foot to push off the ice, just like this..."
Saying this, Zhang Yumei also personally demonstrated a few times for Lin Hao to see. Lin Hao watched without blinking, trying hard to remember every key point Zhang Yumei said in his heart.
Under Zhang Yumei's careful guidance, Lin Hao gradually found some feeling; he began to try to skate slowly by himself. Although his movements were still a bit stiff, at least he could slide a short distance on the ice.
Every time he successfully slid a short distance, Lin Hao would excitedly look at Zhang Yumei, and Zhang Yumei would give him an encouraging smile in return.
In this back-and-forth interaction, the two seemed to forget everything around them; there was only each other in their eyes and hearts, as if the entire ice rink had become their exclusive world.
Zhou Rong watched this scene from the side and secretly nodded, thinking in her heart: These two look quite well-matched; maybe they really can become a couple.
Zhou Bingkun, Lin Kun, and Cai Xiaoguang and the others also looked over from time to time; seeing Lin Hao's appearance of trying hard to learn ice skating, they couldn't help but chuckle, but in their hearts they were also happy that Lin Hao had such an opportunity to get close to Zhang Yumei.
Under Zhang Yumei's patient guidance, Lin Hao gradually could slide a longer distance on the ice, but he also keenly noticed that Zhang Yumei's movements didn't seem as light as at the beginning; she was slightly out of breath, obviously tired.
Lin Hao hurriedly stopped, and with a concerned expression said to Zhang Yumei: "Yumei, I see you're a bit tired; why don't we go rest by the side for a while? Ice skating isn't something to rush."
Hearing this, Zhang Yumei felt warm in her heart; she lightly nodded, and then followed Lin Hao as they slowly skated toward the row of benches by the edge of the ice rink.
The two came to the bench, lightly brushed off the thin snow on the seat, and then sat down side by side. For a moment, the atmosphere was somewhat subtly quiet, but within this quiet there was a trace of unique warmth.
After a while, Lin Hao was the first to break the silence; he first began to introduce his family: "My family situation is actually quite simple; my parents are both ordinary, law-abiding people, and they passed away early. I grew up with my older brother Lin Kun; now he has also started a family, and I'm the only one left single."
After saying this, Lin Hao scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
Hearing this, Zhang Yumei smiled lightly, then also began to talk about her family: "Now in the city, it's just me at home; my parents... they are still undergoing reform in the countryside, in Hunan. Before that, my parents both worked in the province."
Zhang Yumei's voice was slightly low; Lin Hao could hear the trace of helplessness and sadness hidden in her words. He sighed silently in his heart, thinking that life is unpredictable; who would have thought that former provincial leaders are now undergoing reform in the countryside?
Lin Hao looked at Zhang Yumei, his eyes full of sincerity and comfort; he gently patted Zhang Yumei's shoulder and said: "Yumei, don't be sad; I believe everything will get better."
Zhang Yumei raised her head, looking at Lin Hao's concerned eyes; she felt moved in her heart, she nodded slightly and said: "Mm, thank you, Lin Hao."
At this time, the winter sunlight filtered through the clouds and fell down, shining on the two of them, as if draping them in a layer of warm golden gauze, making the atmosphere on the bench increasingly warm and peaceful.
