"Did you come for morning exercises already?" A familiar voice suddenly greeted me. I opened my eyes to see Ya standing in front of me, wearing a fresh white tank top paired with denim shorts. How cute! "Yeah, Ya, why are you up so early?" I smiled and walked over to her. "I always get up at this time because the hotel serves breakfast early, and I need to go to work. I pass by this park every day, and when I saw someone who looked like you coming in, I thought I'd check it out. I didn't expect it to really be you, hehe." Ya revealed a sweet smile. "Ya, you really are a cheerful and sensible girl, both graceful and lovely..." I couldn't help but praise her. "Oh, come on! I'm just an ordinary ugly duckling, not as good as you..." Ya lowered her head, and I clearly saw a blush rising on her fair cheeks. She was blushing; what a shy good girl.
"I... I have to go to work now, bye." Ya said shyly and ran out of the park. Watching her running away, a smile crept onto my lips. It's rare to see a girl from the post-90s generation who is so innocent and well-behaved. Even the usually quiet Sha Xiaomei had invited classmates to celebrate her birthday with a wild party. But I knew Wang Yaqian would never do that because she is really quite reserved. After returning to the hotel, A Fei and Jiang Lingfeng had just woken up. The two were folding blankets when Jiang Lingfeng said, "Why are you up so early today? The manager just came by and shared some details about yesterday's match with us. When he knocked on the door, we were still snuggled in bed, hehe." "So who won the match yesterday?" I moved a stool over to sit down. "It was the Snow Wolf Team. I heard the match was very intense; both sides were neck-and-neck until the last two minutes became the turning point. The Center of the Light Speed Team injured his right foot while fighting for a rebound but insisted on continuing the game. However, his speed and agility were greatly affected, which was a huge disadvantage. The Snow Wolf Team seized the opportunity to score an incredible 10 points in a row, ultimately defeating the Light Speed Team 80-70 and advancing to the finals." I wasn't surprised by the result because I had guessed it long ago, but the process really shocked me. The Light Speed Team's loss wasn't a complete defeat; it was a narrow loss. Don't worry, my fellow teammates from Cangzhou Dream Chasers; we'll avenge you!
After washing up, we five played rock-paper-scissors to see who would go buy breakfast. Unexpectedly, it was me again. I walked out of the hotel to buy some soy milk and buns from a breakfast cart before heading back. As I took out my phone to turn it on, I found six unread messages from Xia Ying as soon as it powered up. Without reading any of them, I deleted all of them because I was still upset at that moment and decided to throw a childish tantrum: hum! I'm just not going to pay attention to you! After breakfast, we discussed going to Silk Street for shopping since I've heard that branded goods there are quite cheap. Hehe, ever since winning over three thousand (the city championship prize is ten thousand), my parents let me manage this money for my living expenses in Beijing. So I'll take some of it to spend reasonably at Silk Street.
I spent only two hundred yuan on a pair of shoes. I'm obsessed with shoes—especially white ones—and love buying white shoes regardless of whether they are sneakers or sports shoes; they all have to be white. However... they don't have to be completely white; having some colorful stripes is also fine. Carrying our spoils down the street made us feel like rich people (even though they were all cheap goods), which was exhilarating! Just then my phone rang again; while transferring everything from my left hand to my right hand, I muttered, "Who is this calling at such an inconvenient time..." When I checked my phone, it was Xia Ying calling again, so I put it back in my pocket. "Hey, why aren't you answering your phone? Who's calling?" Shuai Dong asked curiously. "Oh... it's no one important; just an insurance salesperson," I replied dismissively.
At that moment, my phone rang again. Reluctantly taking it out again revealed yet another call from Xia Ying. Immediately after that, I shoved my phone back into my pocket again when Shuai Dong snatched it away while I wasn't paying attention and mischievously held it up in front of him: "Now I'm curious why this insurance salesperson has such an obsession with you... Ah! It's Xia Ying calling! Why aren't you answering?" Shuai Dong's expression changed from mischievousness to surprise. "I'm not answering because there's nothing good about it," I said while looking off into the distance. Shuai Dong said, "If you're not going to answer then I'll answer for you!" He pressed the answer button.
"Hello? Xia Ying? This is Shuai Dong; what's up... Xia Ying don't cry! I'll let that jerk talk to you." Shuai Dong handed me the phone while glaring at me with his fist clenched as if urging me to take the call. With no other choice left for me, I took the phone and held it up to my ear: "Hello, Yingying? What's going on?" On the other end of the line came Xia Ying's sobbing voice that stunned me completely: "Jie, Zhinan is with me now; please don't be angry anymore! It's Cookie's fault; he shouldn't have told everyone we sit together! Later on, I told them that Xiang Jie is my boyfriend!" Xia Ying explained tearfully and remorsefully; this was the first time I'd heard her speak in such a low tone almost pleading with me for understanding—her previously spoiled character had vanished completely. I tried my best to calm myself down: "Yingying, it's my fault; I shouldn't have thrown a tantrum just because of one thing Zhinan said and ignored you like that. We should treat each other well from now on." Once I'd expressed what was on my mind, my heart felt much lighter.
"Mm-hmm! Jie, from now on I'll tell everyone Xiang Jie is my boyfriend!" "Hehe! I'll do that too! By the way, we made it to the finals!" "Really?!" My mood instantly brightened after hearing that news! After hanging up the phone and seeing all four of them staring at me curiously, I said: "Hey! What are you all staring at? Never seen someone talking on the phone before? Crazy!" As I put away my phone and walked ahead of them, I overheard Shuai Dong saying: "Hey! What's wrong with you guys? Why did he suddenly change his attitude towards Xia Ying?" Whatever they thought didn't matter; at least now I knew how much Xia Ying cared about me.
