"Our new semester has begun, and our school basketball team will welcome two new freshmen." Teacher Qiu shouted from outside the door, "New faces, come in!" As soon as the words fell, two first-year rookies walked in. "Hello, seniors, we are students who just entered Yulin High School. My name is Li Kanglin," said the boy who was about six feet tall. The other freshman, who was around five foot eleven, introduced himself, "Hello, seniors, my name is Tu Lei." We are seniors now. Huh? Li Kanglin? That name sounds familiar. Oh! I remember now!
"Kang Lin, do you have an older brother named Guan Lin?" This must be the son of the person in charge, Uncle Li. "Yes! How did you know, senior?" Li Kanglin asked me in surprise. A Fei smiled and said, "So you are Uncle Li's son! Your dad asked us to take care of you." "I see now! Seniors, you are the ones from the National Championship Dream Chaser Boys Streetball Team that created the 'High School Miracle,' right?" Li Kanglin exclaimed as realization dawned on him. We both smiled without saying a word. "That's right; these two are your champion seniors. This is Xiang Jie, and this is Yu Chengfei."
"Wow! I saw you guys on TV during the National Finals against the Wild Leopard Team," Tu Lei said in astonishment. After Zhang Ruizhi left, our inside position was vacant; only Bing Ge remained as a tall player around six feet tall. Li Kanglin's arrival perfectly filled that gap, while Tu Lei fit into Ji Fang's position. After getting to know each other one by one, our training session began. The new semester had started, and we rejoined Team training. A new season means a new starting point; we put aside street basketball and returned to formal basketball. Dream Chasers had become a thing of the past; Yulin High School was ready to take off!
After school at noon, we walked back to the classroom with smiles. "Xiang Jie! Yu Chengfei!" Just as we were approaching the playground, we suddenly heard someone calling us. A Fei and I turned around simultaneously and couldn't help but smile bitterly; it was Situ Yanan. This girl finally transferred to our school. "Yanan, you're here," A Fei greeted her politely. I also had to show some brotherly demeanor. "Yanan, long time no see! How have you been?" I walked over to her enthusiastically. "Huh? Brother Jie is acting so unusually upon seeing me; I'm a bit flattered," Situ Yanan teased.
"By the way, Brother Jie, I heard you broke up with Sister Ying?" Situ Yanan suddenly brought up a sensitive topic for me. "Who told you that?" I couldn't understand who would tell Situ Yanan this. Situ Yanan straightforwardly replied, "Shuai Dong! What's wrong with that?" Ugh... I knew it was Shuai Dong's big mouth again—he prioritizes relationships over friendships! "A Fei gege, you're getting along well with Sha Xiaomei, right?" This girl started bringing up things again that she shouldn't have mentioned—why can't she change this habit of hers?
After chatting for a while, we returned to the classroom. When I got back to class, I saw Xia Ying and the Three Sisters sitting at our desk laughing. As I walked over to them halfway there, I suddenly remembered something that made me angry. I changed direction and headed straight for Shuai Dong. "Shuai Dong! You're such a busybody and a jerk!" I yelled as I approached him. Shuai Dong was stunned by my outburst: "Jie, did you hit your head on the door?"
I walked over and pulled him aside to a secluded corner of the classroom and whispered, "Shuai Dong, you're really something! Why did you tell others that Xia Ying and I aren't getting along?" Shuai Dong laughed at my reaction: "Hey hey, what's the big deal? Just clarifying that I'm not saying you two aren't getting along; I'm just saying you broke up." "Shuai Dong... you..." I was so amused by Shuai Dong's response that I didn't know what to say for a moment. "Dong Ge, I don't think I've done anything wrong to you; why would you do this?" I said with a bitter smile.
"Hey!" Shuai Dong sighed deeply and said earnestly: "Jie, I'm just looking out for you! Now you're a national idol; if I spread this news and other girls find out you're single again, they will definitely express their feelings for you—just enjoy it!" I was completely speechless; I knew Shuai Dong meant well but ended up causing trouble instead. I let go of Shuai Dong and slowly walked back to my seat; when Xia Ying and the Three Sisters saw me coming back, they immediately dispersed.
"Yingying, what do you really want?" I asked her softly; she ignored me. "Think about it: if I hadn't been honest with you about this matter, you'd still be clueless about everything; but since I've been honest with you now, it shows I'm sincere with you—my heart has space for you." I spoke softly as Xia Ying suddenly stopped her movements; clearly, my words had affected her. Seizing the moment, I continued: "And if I were really a heartless guy who doesn't take responsibility for my actions—considering my temperament—would I repeatedly lower myself just to win you back? I've set aside all my dignity as a man because I can't let go of you..."
Xia Ying's gaze began to waver slightly but she still pretended to be indifferent: "Then why did you kiss her? If in the future you see someone else attractive again will you do it again and then come back to confess to me?!" "I won't do that; when we were downstairs at your house I already told myself that from now on I won't like any other girl because... my heart belongs to Xia Ying." As I continued speaking, I surprisingly saw a faint smile appear at the corner of Xia Ying's mouth before she turned to look at me: "But you've already given your first kiss to someone else; that's unfair to me! How about this—I go kiss Ouyang Shangqiang or Xie Zhinan once so we can call it even?"
I was completely stunned; I never expected her to think like that. I grabbed her hand and headed outside when Zhang Yirong and Gu Mei Jiao followed us but were stopped by Yin Long and Shuai Dong.
