“Dong Ge, can you please shut your big mouth for a moment?” I shot a glance at Shuai Dong and then turned to A Fei: “So, which high school is Chu Yuetao attending now?” “I’m not sure either. I haven’t seen him since that one time, and I didn’t expect to run into him again on the Street Basketball court…” A Fei seemed a bit distracted, likely reminiscing about the past. “Who cares who he is? We Dream Chasers are no worse than any of their Fiery Fox players!” My expression turned serious.
“Alright, alright! Let’s not dwell on useless stuff right now. It’s almost ten; we should wrap this up.” Shuai Dong impatiently interrupted our conversation. “Yeah, let’s call it a night. Dong Ge and Hao Ge, go home and catch up on your sleep. Bye!” As A Fei and I chatted while walking down the street, we suddenly spotted someone standing on the road ahead—it was Situ Jianfei. I noticed a bandage wrapped around his left arm; he must have gotten hurt during the fight yesterday. “Jianfei!” We ran over to him. “You guys are here too?” Jianfei approached us. “Jianfei, how did you get hurt?” A Fei asked. Situ Jianfei paused for a moment and smiled, saying, “Oh, I just scraped my arm a bit when I fell yesterday.” It was clear that Situ Jianfei didn’t want to tell us the whole truth. After chatting for a while, we parted ways.
“Feeling great, going out for a walk, enjoying the blue sea and fresh air. Rivers and Mountains Are Beautiful, let’s go out and not be lazy at home…” Once I got home, I started singing as soon as I walked in. My mom came out upon hearing me. “What’s going on? You just got home and already want to go out?” She came out wearing an apron and holding a spatula. “Hey, Mom, what are we having for dinner?” I flopped down on the sofa and asked her. “We’re having pancakes, cucumbers with sauce, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.” While my mom cooked in the kitchen, I felt great after winning the match and went behind her to give her a shoulder massage while acting cute: “Oh, oh, laboring people are the most glorious! Mom, you’ve worked hard!” “What mistake did you make this time?” My mom asked without looking up from her cooking. “What mistake? It’s not like I’ve made any mistakes like before,” I quickly defended myself. My mom turned to look at me: “Really? That’s unusual.” “Look at this! Your Baby is trying to show filial piety but you suspect him! Oh dear! My heart is feeling so cold!” I said while pretending to touch my heart dramatically before running into my room with a smirk.
Once in my room, I lay on my bed and logged onto QQ. Xia Ying was online, so I immediately sent her a message: “Xia Ying, do you want to hear the good news or the bad news first?” Xia Ying quickly replied: “Bad news.” “I have a pimple on my face,” I joked with her. “Then the good news is that you guys made it to the top four in the city!” Xia Ying responded swiftly. Wow! Xia Ying is really sharp; she knows me too well. Filled with admiration, I said: “Yep, you guessed it! We’ll be facing a short team in the semifinals called Fierce Fox Team. A Fei knows their point guard; his name is Chu Yuetao.” Xia Ying quickly replied: “You know Chu Yuetao! I know him too! We were classmates in Junior High School, sitting in front of each other! We’re really close friends!” What?! Chu Yuetao was a classmate of Xia Ying in Junior High School! They even sat in front of each other… Why am I feeling a bit upset? Am I jealous?
Suddenly my phone rang; it was a call from Xia Ying: “I didn’t expect you guys to compete against Chu Yuetao. He was quite the star at our school back then; there were many girls chasing after him. I need to see how he’s doing now.” “Hold on there, Cookie, didn’t you ever have any thoughts about him back then?” I asked with jealousy dripping from my voice. It seemed like Xia Ying sensed my displeasure: “Where are you getting that from? Back then, I was a good student and never thought about dating…” After hanging up the phone a while later, I sat on my bed silently feeling jealous. Chu Yuetao, during tomorrow’s match, I will definitely defeat you in front of Xia Ying!
In the afternoon, A Fei invited me to go with him to Xinhua Bookstore to buy a book. When we arrived at the bookstore, A Fei went off to find his book while I wandered around casually. I spotted a book titled "Critical Point: The Legend" written by Guo Jingming. As I flipped through it randomly, someone next to me pulled out a copy as well. “Hey man, what do you think of this book… Chu Yuetao!” Turning around to tease this person, I was shocked to find it was actually Chu Yuetao. What an unexpected encounter! He looked surprised for a moment before awkwardly smiling: “Do we know each other?” “Of course! You’re one of the players from the Fierce Fox Team, right?” I pretended to be calm as I replied. After being taken aback for a moment, he asked me: “Who are you?” “I’m your opponent tomorrow; don’t worry—I’ll defeat you on the court,” I sneered. “So you’re from the Dream Chasers Team!” Realization dawned on him as he exclaimed. “Hey! You’re here too! Let’s go!” Just then, A Fei ran over holding his book. “Chu Yuetao, what are you doing here? What a coincidence! Do you remember me? I'm Yu Chengfei!” Upon seeing Chu Yuetao, A Fei greeted him enthusiastically. “Oh! You’re… that ‘Future Star’ from our class in Junior High School, right? Long time no see! Which high school are you attending now?” asked Chu Yuetao, recognizing him as well. “I’m at City No. 2 Middle School…” The two of them started chatting away; it made me feel frustrated! Can’t you just scold him for me or something?
“By the way, let me introduce you—this is my good friend and classmate and teammate, Xiang Jie. Jie, this is an old friend of mine—Chu Yuetao.” As A Fei introduced us to each other, "Chu Yuetao, so you're also part of the Dream Chasers!?" he asked. To which A Fei replied: "Yeah! Who would have thought we’d meet at the Street Basketball Championship!?" "Chu Yuetao" agreed: "Yeah! What a coincidence..." "Alright then; we have things to do so we’ll head out first—see you at tomorrow's match!" With that, A Fei called for me to leave.
