When I woke up from my sleep, it was already past three in the afternoon. I sat up, stretched, and felt soreness all over my body. Slowly, I walked out of my room. My mom was mopping the floor, and when she saw me, she asked if I was hungry. If I was, she would make something for me to eat. To be honest, I was a bit hungry, so I smiled awkwardly and said, "Hehe, then how about you just work a little harder..." "I knew you would be hungry since you didn't eat lunch. You were sleeping so soundly that I didn't want to wake you," my mom replied as she went to prepare the meal.
As I was sitting there, my phone rang; it was A Fei calling. "Hey, why are you calling when you're so close? You could just walk over and save yourself some phone bill," I said after answering. A Fei laughed and said, "I was worried you wouldn't be up yet. I'm right at your door; I can come in." Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. I hung up and went to open it. A Fei came in and punched me lightly on the chest: "Looks like you had a good sleep!" "What can I do? Playing a match is like running a marathon; it's exhausting," I replied as I plopped down on the sofa.
At that moment, my mom brought out a bowl of wontons. Seeing A Fei had arrived, she smiled and said, "A Fei came just in time; there's still one bowl left in the pot. Come eat with us." A Fei smiled shyly and said, "Thank you, Auntie! I'm actually a bit hungry." He then sat down next to me. "Hey! You're really going to eat? I'm still not full," I teased him. My mom brought out another bowl of wontons and laughed, saying, "A Fei, just take his; don't leave any for him." "Haha, Jie, did you hear Auntie's words? I'm going to finish it all," A Fei said proudly. "Hmph! You two are teaming up to bully me!" I pretended to be angry.
My mom chuckled and left the room. A Fei continued eating wontons while talking to me: "After this, we're going to play an away game at City No. 2 Middle School. Are you ready?" "We'll talk about that later; right now the priority is to eat wontons," I replied without looking up. First, I needed to rest and regain some energy before continuing to run like crazy again. Sigh! If Chu Yuetao can run, so can I; there's no way I'm losing to him! "This morning, Sha Xiaomei has been waiting for you for quite a while," he added. I turned my head to look at him as he nodded while eating: "Yeah, she even saw Situ Yanan getting jealous of Sha Xiaomei."
"Oh?" Suddenly intrigued, I put down my bowl and asked, "What happened between them? Tell me!" A Fei gave me a disdainful look: "Looks like you're enjoying this feeling quite a bit!" "What are you talking about? Who's enjoying anything? I'm just a very dedicated good boy; don't tarnish my reputation," I retorted. A Fei's comment bothered me a little; he put down his bowl and looked into my eyes: "Last time we went to Beijing..." "Stop right there! Fine! I'll admit I'm interested; just don't bring up that encounter with Wang Yaqian in Beijing anymore; it's all in the past," I quickly interrupted him.
"Admitting it is good enough. Honestly, I never expected Zhongqi Senior would get injured today; it's a huge shock for us! It feels like we're leaderless..." A Fei said before shouting out loud: "Auntie, these wontons are really delicious; they smell amazing!" My mom replied from the kitchen: "Is it enough? If not, I'll make more for you." Hmph! My mom is being biased at crucial moments. "Next up is our Jade Unicorn Three Swordsmen; let's fight side by side! I'll handle organizing and connecting plays while Ouyang focuses on scoring from outside and assisting. You’ll handle mid-range shots and wing movements. With Li Kanglin's height and Tu Lei's explosiveness added in, beating City No. 2 Middle School isn't impossible," I analyzed with A Fei.
After hearing this, A Fei shook his head: "But City No. 2 Middle School also has their own trident; Chu Yuetao will specifically target you. Jia Yu's impact is no less than Ouyang's either, plus Pei Xinliang has a significant height advantage over me. Land Route and Hu Yue will keep an eye on Tu Lei and Li Kanglin—it's all interconnected! It's like we're playing against our own shadows; whatever we have, they have too—even our coaches are of similar age! It's unfortunate that our coach assigned us this opponent..." A Fei sighed dramatically as I quickly stopped him: "Alright already! Stop worrying unnecessarily; just focus on eating your wontons."
The next morning was still shrouded in gloom. Finally, today we could enjoy a Sunday without any matches. Every time there’s a match, there's no time to enjoy the fresh morning air. After pulling back the curtains and looking outside at the scenery, I suddenly spotted someone—a familiar face—it was Jiang Lingfeng! It had been ages since I'd seen him. Excitedly rushing outside, as soon as I opened the door, I shouted: “Captain! What brings you here? I've missed you so much!”
After stepping outside, I immediately rushed over and hugged Jiang Lingfeng tightly. “Today there’s no match, so I'm here to catch up with my teammates,” he said with a smile while patting my back. “Hehe, it's rare for the captain to remember us! Come on in!” Pulling Jiang Lingfeng into our house excitedly, as soon as we entered, I shouted: “Mom and Dad! Come out quickly; we have an esteemed guest!” My parents came out from their bedroom and were pleasantly surprised to see Jiang Lingfeng as well; they greeted him warmly. My dad exclaimed: “Oh! Lingfeng is here! Please have a seat! Honey, go pour Lingfeng some water and get some fruit!” “Uncle Xiang, no need to trouble yourself! Aunt Wang, don’t worry about it either; I'm not an outsider!” Jiang Lingfeng responded casually which made me feel closer to him.
“Lingfeng, it’s been almost a year since we last met! You have to come by more often or Uncle Xiang will miss you,” my dad joked with Jiang Lingfeng. It seemed my parents had an exceptionally good impression of him!
