"Big Pig Head, what are you doing? Have you missed me?" Xia Ying teased me playfully. We had just spoken on the phone a little over two hours ago, and I suddenly found myself at a loss for words. "Jie, what's wrong with you? Hahaha, have you done something guilty? Spill it!" Xia Ying said in a mischievous tone. Her joke made me feel embarrassed, and I stammered, "Yingying... I'm a jerk! I..." I felt very sorry for Xia Ying; my conscience was harshly condemning me.
"Haha, so you know you're a jerk! Always forgetting to call me, hmph! You need to show me more care from now on." Unaware of the situation, Xia Ying laughed with me. Well, I guess I'll just wait until I get back to apologize to Yingying. "Okay, got it. Cookie, go to bed early tonight. When you open your eyes tomorrow morning, Soda will be right in front of you." I tried hard to control my disappointment so she wouldn't notice. "Alright, Big Pig Head, you should sleep early too! Goodnight." Xia Ying said before hanging up. After the call ended, I leaned against the wall and squatted down on the street. The events that had just transpired raced through my mind. What should I do? Would Xia Ying forgive me? But how could I face Ya? I was on the verge of breaking down.
By the time I returned to the hotel, it was nearly ten o'clock. As soon as I walked in, A Fei and Jiang Lingfeng grabbed me and pulled me inside. A Fei asked nervously, "Jie, where have you been? We were worried sick! Shuai Dong and the others were discussing how to find you; we thought something had happened to you..." Just then, Shuai Dong pushed the door open and exclaimed, "Brothers! We split into four groups to look for Jie... Oh! You're back! Where have you been? We were about to call the police!" Shuai Dong paused when he saw me and then immediately started scolding me seriously. I quickly calmed him down: "Dong Ge, take it easy. I know you all were worried. I just thought since we're leaving tomorrow morning, I'd go out and enjoy the night view of Beijing; it's so beautiful with all the lights." I couldn't let them know that I had met Ya or that I had given my first kiss to her.
After finally calming Shuai Dong and the others down and getting them back into their rooms, I lay exhausted on my bed. With my eyes closed, all I could see were images of Xia Ying and Ya. My experiences were quite dramatic; they could rival a television drama plot. This shouldn't be classified as a love triangle; it was more like a fickle-hearted boy entangled with two innocent girls. Was I still a good student? Well... what I've done isn't something a good student would do. Which diligent student would participate in a Street Basketball competition? Even if they did participate, which good student would win championships in both the city and North China?
After nearly a sleepless night, morning finally arrived. After packing our luggage under the guidance of our supervisor, we boarded a direct bus back to Cangzhou. Boiling Sports really has substantial resources; they specifically sent a bus to take us back. The large bus only had seven of us besides the driver. We placed the North China Champion trophy in the aisle of the bus while I sat by the window looking outside as we slowly drove out of Beijing and into Hebei province. After about three hours of travel, we finally arrived in Cangzhou. It felt like we hadn't seen each other for a week; once again, I smelled familiar scents from Cangzhou. Huh? That's strange; why weren't there any fans here to greet us or ask for autographs and photos? We Dream Chasers are somewhat famous too; we brought glory to Cangzhou!
As we got off the bus, our parents rushed over. "Dream Chasers have returned victorious!" they shouted in unison. My mom even yelled at an unfamiliar middle-aged man nearby: "Old Jiang, hurry up and help Lingfeng carry his bag; look how tired he is." To my surprise, Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu were mingling with Jiang Lingfeng's parents so comfortably. "Mom and Dad, I've missed you so much!" I exclaimed as I rushed down to hug them, finally feeling their warm embrace again. "Mom and Dad, look what we brought back for you!" I said as I pulled out the trophy from behind me. We handed the North China Region championship trophy to our parents, who unexpectedly surrounded it like children while laughing as they walked toward the side of the bus.
We stood there dumbfounded. "Wait a minute, Comrades; are they here to pick us up or just here for the championship trophy?" I couldn't help but wonder aloud as we helplessly made our way toward the bus ourselves. After some discussion among ourselves, we decided to stick with our old routine: first keeping it at my house for three days before taking it over to A Fei's place for a while and finally handing it over to Jiang Lingfeng for safekeeping. So the trophy was taken home by me first.
Once home, my parents put away the trophy before coming over to ask me all sorts of questions. I pulled out eight thousand yuan and handed it to them while explaining that we had won thirty thousand yuan in prize money. After some discussion among us three, we decided to give Shuai Dong and Pang Hao three thousand each while leaving eight thousand each for ourselves. They even asked if my three thousand yuan was enough and whether I was getting used to things there... After casually responding a few times, I retreated into my room and lay on my bed breathing in the air of home while thinking about Xia Ying. From my bag, I took out the couple's watch that cost eight hundred yuan; I wondered if Xia Ying would like it before dialing her number.
"Hello? You're back?" Xia Ying asked excitedly as soon as she answered the phone. "Yes, I'm back! Just got home; let's meet at our usual spot near Lijing Park in twenty minutes!" After putting on one of the couple's watches meant for boys, I grabbed the other one and ran out of my house. When I arrived at Lijing Park and looked from afar, I spotted that familiar figure that had been on my mind day and night. "Cookie!" I shouted as I ran towards her; Xia Ying also excitedly ran towards me when she saw me.
