I noticed that Shuai Dong's expression was a bit unnatural. He suddenly stood up and said, "You all eat first; I'm full. I'm going to the bathroom." Then he slipped away. Pang Hao shook his head beside him and said, "Hey! Shuai Dong can't take this blow, Yanan, why don't you consider him?" "Go away, why should I consider him? Pang Hao, you should hurry and check on Shuai Dong; we can't let him do something drastic," Situ Yanan waved her hand at Pang Hao as she spoke. Pang Hao unsteadily stood up, carrying his plate as he left.
"Hey, how's it going, guys? How did the Experiment Three journey go?" After Pang Hao left, Situ Yanan quickly leaned over to ask us. A Fei forced a smile and said, "We lost this time..." "Wrong!" I suddenly raised my head and interrupted A Fei, startling both of them. Then I blankly stated, "It's not just a loss; it's a crushing defeat..." After hearing this, Situ Yanan awkwardly laughed and said, "It's okay; losing one or two matches doesn't matter. Winning and losing are part of the game! We'll win it back next time." She even patted my shoulder.
I smiled at her but didn't say anything; my smile was somewhat forced. Just then, Sha Xiaomei and Xia Ying arrived. Sha Xiaomei sat down next to A Fei, and they whispered to each other. However, since they lost the match, A Fei seemed very down and lacked energy. When Xia Ying saw Situ Yanan sitting next to me and leaning in to whisper in my ear, she became jealous and slammed her plate down on the table, startling us. Situ Yanan looked at Xia Ying and snapped, "What’s wrong with you, Sister Ying? Did you choke on something?"
"Mind your own business! I always put my plate down like this!" Xia Ying sat down on my other side. I was feeling quite irritated and didn't want to get involved in their trivial matters anymore. "I'm full; I'm going out for a walk," I said as I stood up and headed for the door. "Brother Jie, I'll go with you!" Situ Yanan also stood up. However, Xia Ying remained seated with a smile on her face and didn't move. "No need; I want to walk alone," I replied as I turned around to leave. In that instant, I saw Xia Ying covering her mouth while stifling a laugh. It seemed that she really understood me; she knew that with my current mood, Situ Yanan would definitely be rejected. But it was quite boring.
Before I knew it, I had walked to the gymnasium. Once inside, I touched our basketball hoop and felt our seating area before sitting down. Suddenly someone called out to me, "Jie!" I looked up to see Zhongqi Senior walking over with his arm in a sling. "Zhongqi Senior, how's your arm?" I stood up as he approached and sat down beside me. "Ah! Muscle strain and torn ligaments; I'm out for the entire season," Zhongqi Senior said with a dim look in his eyes. I patted his shoulder and reassured him, "It's okay, Zhongqi Senior; you're still the best point guard in college!"
Zhongqi Senior shook his head with a smile. "I don't want to play anymore; in college, I want to focus entirely on my studies. I've always had a dream of becoming a top financial expert in the world. It's a bit unconventional," he chuckled. "Huh?" I found it hard to believe. "Why Zhongqi Senior? You're so good at basketball, and don't you love playing?" I asked him in confusion. Zhongqi Senior replied, "I won't leave basketball; I'll never do that—it's just that... I don't want to make it my profession."
It turned out that from the moment Zhongqi Senior got injured, it wasn't just the City High League series that he was out of but rather marking the end of his entire professional career. It was unfair for him not to be included among the Five Great Point Guards simply because of his height disadvantage—what a ridiculous reason! The old man owed Cheng Zhongqi an honor; it seemed this regret would remain indefinitely unresolved. While Zhongqi Senior and I were chatting, Bing Ge walked in and gave Zhongqi Senior a heavy high-five. They had been together for three years now; during those three years they practiced together during breaks and fought side by side during matches. But now they would have to part ways after more than thirty years—a pity for both of them.
After school in the afternoon, A Fei and I were riding our bikes home when we ran into Xie Zhinan again. This time he didn't say anything but just stared at me intently. "Xie Zhinan, I don't want to fight today; please don't cause trouble," I said as I looked up at him. He slowly walked over but still didn't say anything as he passed by us—completely insane! "A Fei, Zhongqi Senior won't join the team after high school," I whispered to A Fei. Surprisingly, A Fei didn't seem shocked at all; he calmly nodded his head when I asked why he wasn't surprised—he had already guessed it.
As we were laughing together, suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my head followed by complete blankness as I collapsed onto the ground and lost all sensation. Faintly, I heard A Fei shout: "Jie! Are you okay? Hey! Don't run away..." And then everything went dark...
Later on, all I could sense was entering a blank world—everything was blurry; it was just fog upon fog. Lying on the ground made it impossible for me to speak or move; even my eyes wouldn't cooperate—I couldn't open them at all—as if all my muscles and ligaments had vanished completely. It felt incredibly uncomfortable as if someone were trying to pry my eyelids open so that I could see this world again; unfortunately, there wasn't even a sound of wind—just utter silence.
I don't know how much time passed before I suddenly opened my eyes wide while feeling relaxed all over. As my eyelids slowly lifted up, it was already the next morning. I saw A Fei along with my parents and Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu anxiously looking at me. "Jie is awake! Jie is awake!" My parents rushed over as I gently nodded my head. However, when I moved my head slightly, dizziness hit me hard again causing me to grimace in pain. "Jie! Don't move yet; the doctor says you have a concussion—just lie down for a bit longer," Aunt Yu advised me as I struggled to quietly ask A Fei: "A Fei... who did this?"
