"You know what it means to be very close, you..." Xia Ying was about to explode when I stopped her. I smiled and said to Situ Yanan, "Thank you for your concern for my Brother Jie. Xie Zhinan, whom I know, is very close friends with Yingying. Their friendship is very pure."
"Brother Jie, you are just too kind. One day you will realize that I am right!" Situ Yanan said and then turned around and walked out of Lijing Park. I looked at her retreating figure, feeling a bit amused. A Fei and Jiang Lingfeng were nearby, covering their mouths and laughing.
"Alright, alright, don't be angry. I won't believe her words. We are just about to go eat, so let's go together." I turned around and grabbed Xia Ying's hand. Xia Ying was still a bit angry: "Ugh! I'm so mad! I don't have an appetite anymore; I need to go eat some ice cream to cool off!" With that, she turned and left. Worried that she might be too upset, I shouted after her, "Don't eat too much; be careful not to get a stomachache!" Xia Ying waved her hand without looking back and replied, "Got it!"
When I turned back, A Fei and Jiang Lingfeng were already laughing so hard they could barely breathe. I looked at them helplessly: "Laugh all you want; go ahead and mock me. Let's go eat!"
Today is Monday, and it's also our quarter's second match. We have to travel to the Second High School for the game. Yesterday we had a great time together, and today the weather is cloudy but still quite cool. I wonder if it will get too hot by noon? After we arrived at school and dropped off our backpacks, we headed straight for the gym.
"Jie, wait for me! I'm coming with you guys!" Haoshuai suddenly called out to us. I turned around and smiled at him: "Haoshuai, are you trying to skip class again? Aren't you afraid of getting scolded by the teacher?"
Haoshuai smiled nonchalantly: "Hehe, let them scold me; it's not like I've never been scolded before. This time Cheng Zhongqi is injured, so I want to volunteer with Teacher Qiu. I can fill in for Zhongqi Senior!" I really didn't expect Haoshuai to be so eager. Well, if he insists on coming along, let him come!
Once we got to the gym, most of the other team members had already arrived. We still had a roster of ten players. After entering the gym, Haoshuai went straight up to Teacher Qiu: "Coach, let me join the team this time! I'm confident that I can take Zhongqi Senior's place!"
"You are Haoshuai, right? Haoshuai, I've already told you that our school's team members for this season have been finalized and cannot be changed. If you really have the ability, come back next season to report to the sports department; I won't overlook any talent," Teacher Qiu patiently explained to Haoshuai.
Haoshuai still wasn't giving up and pleaded: "Teacher Qiu, please let me try! How about I show you a dunk? Or a behind-the-back pass? I can do anything!"
"Enough! Do you think the school's rules and the City High League's discipline can be disregarded? Get back to class! Team members, get ready; we are leaving," Teacher Qiu sternly reprimanded him before putting on his hat and walking toward the gym's exit.
We hurriedly followed him. As I walked past Haoshuai, I patted his shoulder and whispered in his ear: "Don't be discouraged; I'll be waiting to fight alongside you next season." Haoshuai didn't say anything; his expression was frightening as he clenched his fists tightly, standing there silently until we had walked far out of the gym when I turned back and saw him slowly walking out with no expression on his face. Seeing him like this made me feel a bit sorry for him; however, the school's rules were like that, and there was nothing I could do.
We boarded the team's bus; I found a window seat and sat down while A Fei sat behind me. When I turned around, I saw him fiddling with the Eagle Pendant hanging from his neck again. "Seriously, A Fei? What's so special about that pendant? I've noticed you always look at it before games," I asked in confusion.
A Fei stared at the pendant dreamily: "This pendant is my faith; it represents everything!"
"You're crazy..." I muttered before turning back around. The sky was still cloudy as I put on my headphones and listened to music. Just then, I heard that song from Supreme League called Marshmallow. Looking at the shapes of the clouds in the sky made me involuntarily think of Xia Ying; I remembered that it was this song that I used to confess my feelings to her in the park back then—it even brought her to tears.
After about twenty minutes of driving, we arrived at our destination: Cangzhou Second High School. As soon as I got off the bus, I felt an overwhelming sense of pressure (which was purely an illusion). Teacher Qiu stood at the entrance in a daze. "Coach, let's head inside," A Fei said. Teacher Qiu nodded: "Let's go!"
Zhongqi Senior couldn't join us due to his injury today, and Bing Ge also went to the hospital for treatment; therefore, we only had ten players coming to Second High School this time. However, in our last match we almost played with ten players as well—actually only nine since Liu Xiao hardly played—so we were ready to fight again!
Once we entered Second High School during class change time, we saw many students staring at us from balconies and around campus as if they were seeing monsters. "Dream Chasers!" Suddenly a boy on the first floor recognized me and A Fei, followed by what felt like an earthquake... About a hundred students rushed down from floors one through three towards us. A Fei and I were startled and instinctively hid behind the crowd while Teacher Qiu was also taken aback by our fans' enthusiasm. I wondered if Chu Yuetao and their fans would feel embarrassed or annoyed seeing us treated this way?
