[Pairs Figure Skating, 180 cm Golden Retriever Goofball Male Lead + 155 cm Petite Female Lead with a Mature Heart]
"They've won the gold!!! Another victory!! Let's congratulate the young skaters from the national team, Chu Xiuyue and Zheng Xiange! They've won another Olympic pairs skating gold medal for China!!!"
The moment the final pair's score came in, the commentator sprang up from behind the broadcast desk, shouting the good news until his voice was hoarse.
The two people sitting in the kiss-and-cry area were just as excited. Forgetting everyone else around them, Chu Xiuyue finally couldn't hold back and threw herself into Zheng Xiange's arms the instant they saw the score.
Zheng Xiange couldn't hide his smile either. He put an arm around his partner's shoulders and gently soothed her overwhelming excitement.
This was their second time competing at the Olympics, and their second time winning the pairs skating gold medal.
The medal ceremony. The flag raising.
After watching the national flag rise high, Zheng Xiange stepped down from the podium first and turned to look at Chu Xiuyue, who was still standing on it.
Their hands, separated for once, had somehow found their way into the pocket of his team jacket. For the countless time, the tall young man dropped to one knee on the ice, facing the girl he loved most.
Their matching bright red team uniforms looked just like couple outfits.
"Xiuyue! Will you marry me?"
The audience stared wide-eyed: Aaaaaah! I knew the ship I was rooting for was an aircraft carrier! A space carrier!!!
PS:
1. A proposal is a proposal, but they'll get married after retiring. They're both career-focused and won't let being lovestruck affect their careers.
2. They start dating as adults. Don't say I'm setting a bad example for kids!
Theme: To be true to both country and beloved.
