"What's next?" I continued to ask. "Then the three of you will come!" Sha Xiaomei immediately replied. I was completely confused. A secret meeting in the forest, and with two sworn enemies at that. It seems only they know what’s really going on. Forget it, as long as they are fine, knowing more won’t help; it’s better to play dumb. "Jie, can we order ice cream now? Waiter, two strawberry ice creams! Jie, you can order for yourself, heh heh," Sha Xiaomei said with a grin. I laughed and said, "Sure, order whatever you want. Just remember, I only have thirteen yuan on me—note that it's RMB, not USD..."
"What?! Are you kidding me? This ice cream costs ten yuan!" Sha Xiaomei exclaimed, her eyes wide open.
"Heh heh, there's nothing I can do. Next time, I'll definitely treat you to a big meal. This time it's AA system. Waiter, one banana-flavored ice cream!" I called out for one. Sha Xiaomei and A Fei looked at me with incredulous expressions. It wasn’t intentional this time. After lunch, I lay on the bed thinking about things. What will Situ Yanan do with Xia Ying? They even made both of them cry; they really have their ways. I could take a break now and then contact Haoshuai. I don't know why, but this time’s Street Basketball Championship feels less fresh than last year's competition. Have I lost interest in participating in Street Basketball? Impossible! I still crave victory and am working hard for our championship; it's just that I've grown up. Last year's Xiang Jie was just an inexperienced Street Basketball player, while this year's Xiang Jie is the leader of a team!
After opening my computer and logging onto QQ, Jiang Lingfeng sent me a message: "Hello Captain Xiang Jie!" It must be from A Fei. I quickly video-called Jiang Lingfeng. He was wearing a white shirt with a large 'A' printed on the front; it was obvious he was in the national team's training uniform. He had also gotten a particularly neat short haircut. "Wind God Captain, how does it feel to be in the National Youth Team?" I asked him. Jiang Lingfeng stretched lazily and said, "It's okay; we played a warm-up match against the Korean National Youth Team yesterday. The World Men's Basketball Youth Championship is about to start in ten days; yesterday was our last warm-up."
"Did you win?" I asked eagerly about the national team's situation. Jiang Lingfeng smiled and said, "We won! We beat Korea 77 to 70." I jumped up excitedly: "Great job! Defeating those Koreans makes our country proud!"
Jiang Lingfeng asked if Haoshuai was tough to deal with. I said he was alright; he was about my level but only around 1.75 meters tall, so he had a height disadvantage against me. Jiang Lingfeng advised me not to underestimate him. I understood; I really envied Jiang Lingfeng for being able to serve the country. Does this mean he might join the national team in the future? He could fight alongside Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue? Heh heh, I'll have to ask him for some signed cards then! After ending the video call and playing Crossfire for a while, I felt bored; it was only three in the afternoon and sunny outside, so I didn’t want to go out either. Let’s find a movie to watch instead! I heard there’s a movie called Those Years, We Pursued the Girl Together that’s pretty good, so I searched online for it but found only the mainland version which has cut several minutes of exciting scenes.
Suddenly, I remembered a video website Shuai Dong once told me about where I could watch the complete version from Hong Kong and Taiwan. After opening that site and downloading a player as instructed, I searched for Those Years, We Pursued the Girl Together and found the complete version! I quickly opened it to watch.
I quietly watched; this movie is hilarious yet touching—a perfect example of laughter mixed with tears. By the end of it, I felt an urge to cry; it was so realistic! Is the protagonist Ke Jing Teng really the screenwriter and director Kidon of this film? Where is Shen Jiayi? I wonder how the real Shen Jiayi would feel watching this movie when suddenly my phone rang.
"Hello? No no, A Fei! What's going on?" Even after answering the call, I stumbled over my words. A Fei sounded a bit confused on the other end: "Huh? Haha, so you're at home! That's quite mischievous!" A Fei teased me, making me feel particularly embarrassed: "Alright alright, stop laughing! What’s up?"
"Still feeling shy? Shuai Dong invited us to his birthday party tonight," A Fei said. Right! Today is Shuai Dong's birthday! I asked A Fei: "So are we going to pick out a gift for Shuai Dong today?" A Fei nodded at me: "Of course! It's Shuai Dong's birthday after all; even if we can't make it there ourselves, we should at least send a gift over. But let’s not spend too much money—just around one or two hundred yuan will do."
"Wow! Is this guy crazy? We could just each bring him a fifty-cent lollipop!" I suggested with a mischievous grin to A Fei. A Fei lowered his head and looked at me with an odd expression: "I think that's a good idea! Haha!" We both burst into laughter.
But joking aside, A Fei and I braved the blazing sun in the afternoon to pick out gifts for our birthday star Shuai Dong. I found a bat ring made of pure Thai silver set with rubies priced at 199 yuan—perfect for him! Shuai Dong loves showing off; he would definitely like this cool accessory. For a high school student from an average family like mine, spending around two hundred yuan is already quite generous. When I asked my mom for money, she handed me three hundred-yuan bills—this was from my prize money earned last year at the Street Basketball competition that I've been saving.
A Fei chose a pendant called "Eye of Death" for Shuai Dong; it was also pure Thai silver shaped like an eye with a ruby in the center priced at 99 yuan—perfect match! With one ring and one necklace ready to go together nicely, A Fei looked at his phone and asked me: "Jie, it's almost five o'clock now; shouldn't we head over to Shuai Dong's house?" Pretending to be serious, I gazed intently in Shuai Dong's direction and pointed ahead with my right hand: "Let’s go!"
