It was the second rare day I could rest, and finally, I could sleep in until nine o'clock again. After waking up naturally, I sat up and stretched a big yawn. The weather was nice and sunny today; I definitely wasn't going out, staying home to play Crossfire sounded good too. After getting up and washing up, my mom left a note on the table that said: "Jie, the buns are heating in the pot, and there's porridge downstairs. Remember to eat." My parents really know how to take care of their son, making sure everything is ready for me, afraid I might go hungry.
I scooped a bowl of porridge and grabbed a few buns on a plate, then hurried to my computer desk. The breakfast was still warm; I had to stop twice to bring it over. After putting it down, it was so hot that I quickly touched my earlobe. I logged onto QQ and opened QQ Music to play Supreme League's "Arrival." Shuai Dong sent me a message, and I quickly replied. Then Pang Hao followed up with, "Jie, want to play a couple of rounds?" After thinking for a moment, I asked him, "Is Yin Long coming?" "He can't make it today; he's going to his grandma's house in the countryside." Oh no! With Yin Long, our main player not here, I wondered if we could manage without him. A Fei wasn't online either; when I called him, he said he was too busy to play games. I had no idea what he was up to. With both Yin Long and A Fei absent, it felt like we were short-handed. Just then, Jiang Lingfeng suddenly spoke up: "Jie, what are you doing?" Haha! Just as I thought! Now we had another player! I quickly messaged him: "Ling Feng Senior, are you playing Crossfire?" Jiang Lingfeng: "I play occasionally; my skills aren't that great." I encouraged him: "It's okay; we're all newbies; let's play together." Jiang Lingfeng was silent for twenty seconds: "Alright then, let's just have some fun."
We then opened a room and started battling. After ten intense matches, I realized one thing: Jiang Lingfeng was being modest; he was clearly a pro—almost like a second Yin Long. In the sniper battle in Overwatch City, he achieved an astonishing record of only three deaths in one match. Later on, when we stopped playing, I asked Jiang Lingfeng how he practiced. He mentioned that he once became obsessed with Crossfire, which is why he now strictly limits himself to only two hours of gaming each week. Today, due to our strong invitation, he broke his rule—sorry about that, Ling Feng Senior.
After battling hard all morning, we wrapped things up. At noon, my mom called to let me know lunch delivery had arrived at home and reminded me to eat. After lunch, I wasn't in the mood for a nap and suddenly remembered my Cookie. So I dialed her number. "Hey! Where did the sun come out from today? Why are you calling me?" As soon as she picked up, Cookie pretended to be surprised. Her casual joke made me feel a twinge of guilt towards her; indeed, I realized that I rarely took the initiative to call her, which made her feel surprised when I did. I felt quite careless.
"What are you doing?" I asked her. Xia Ying replied weakly: "Sleeping; what else can I do?" "Oh okay then, sleep on; no rush. Wake up when you're ready; good afternoon..." I quickly said something sweet before hanging up the phone—my skin crawled with goosebumps afterward. Sitting down at my computer desk and logging onto QQ, a friend request popped up from someone whose real name was listed as Situ Yanan. How strange; how did she know my QQ number? I accepted her request, and as soon as she added me, she said: "Hello Brother Jie!". This girl was quite polite; seeing her being so nice made me respond politely too: "Yanan Sister, what are you doing?" "Nothing much; just hanging around. When school is on break, I'm looking forward to vacationing; but once it's actually vacation time, it's really boring!" It was clear that after summer break started, Situ Yanan was feeling quite bored—poor girl! Suddenly an idea struck me: "Tomorrow my brother A Fei has a Street Basketball match; do you want to come watch? You can cheer us on." Sure enough, Situ Yanan seemed interested: "Sure! What time does it start? Where's the match?" "Tomorrow at 8:30 AM at Lijing Park." "Okay! I'll make sure to arrive on time!"
At three in the afternoon, I called Cookie: "Hey, Cookie, have you woken up yet?" As soon as she answered the phone, a middle-aged woman's voice came through: "Cookie? There's no one named Cookie here; kiddo, did you dial the wrong number?" Quickly thinking on my feet, I said: "Oh! Maybe I dialed incorrectly; I'm sorry for bothering you, ma'am. Goodbye." Thankfully I used "Cookie" instead of her real name—if I'd used Xia Ying, it would have been awkward! Well then! No more calls for now; I'd just stay home and find something to do instead. Reluctantly searching for something to watch led me to an American blockbuster movie—Transformers—and I couldn't help but admire how impressive Hollywood's special effects were.
After this little break, our journey resumed again—it was the day of the City Finals. Last night I went to bed early and set an alarm for six in the morning. When it rang and woke me up with a big stretch, I thought: "Xiang Jie, you're the best! Let those guys from Fantasi know how strong we are—let's go Dream Chasers!". After heading out to find A Fei, who was washing up at that moment. "Jie, it's early! Have you eaten breakfast yet?" asked Aunt Yu, who greeted me warmly as soon as I walked in. "I've eaten already,Aunt Yu. Where's Uncle Yu?" Sitting down at the table, she replied: "Uncle Yu went out for his morning exercise." She continued tidying up while A Fei came out from another room: "Mom! We thought it would be nice to go out early when the air is fresh!" With that said he called out to me as we headed out together.
