After we finished showering, we walked out of the gym. My parents saw me like this and didn't say much. I told them that the competition was over and they could go home; I wanted to chat with my teammates from Team. After my parents gave me a few reminders, they pulled A Fei over to keep an eye on me and then left. Once my parents were gone, Xia Ying and Situ Yanan came over. Xia Ying spoke first: "Jie, I saw you fall on the court just now. Is your head okay? Didn't they say you shouldn't play? Why didn't you listen?" Xia Ying reached out to touch the bandage on my head.
Situ Yanan quickly stopped her hand: "Sister Ying, you can't touch that wound! Otherwise, Brother Jie will be in pain." Xia Ying glared at Situ Yanan and then withdrew her hand. Situ Yanan smiled triumphantly at Xia Ying: "Yanan, you should go home first; otherwise, your brother will worry about you." I turned my head and smiled at Situ Yanan, who also smiled back: "It's fine, thank you Brother Jie for caring about me. Today is just for relaxing, after all, heehee."
"Then Brother Jie and Yingying are off to date, bye!" I said as I took Xia Ying's hand and walked away. After leaving the school, Xia Ying leaned her head against my chest in a sweet manner: "Baby, so you do care about me and protect me, heehee, love you to death." I wrapped my arm around Xia Ying's shoulder: "Of course! Who told you to be my Cookie? Want to go get ice cream with me?" Xia Ying looked puzzled: "Soda, don't scare me. You're acting a bit strange today. Shouldn't you be upset since the school team got eliminated? Did those thugs hit your head too hard..."
"Hey, hey, hey! What do you mean? You can't handle seeing me happy?" I teased as I poked her nose with my right index finger. She stuck out her tongue and hooked my arm: "Alright, alright, let's go get ice cream! I want strawberry flavor!" We then walked into an ice cream shop. I ordered chocolate flavor while Xia Ying happily got strawberry flavor. We started eating, and I didn't know why I wanted so much ice cream; one box wasn't enough, so I ordered another. At first, Xia Ying didn't mind, but when she saw me eating the third box, she was stunned and quickly stopped my spoon: "Hey, Soda, are you okay? Why are you eating ice cream so fast? You'll get a stomachache!"
"I'm fine! I feel really hot inside, so I need ice cream to cool down, heehee. It's all good." I continued eating.
Xia Ying snatched my ice cream away and placed it on the table: "No more eating!" I stuck my tongue out at her playfully and turned to the waiter: "Excuse me, another box please!" I didn't know why I felt so fiery inside; it seemed like I needed ice to extinguish the flames in my heart. "Waiter, don't give him any!" Xia Ying shouted behind her before turning back to glare at me fiercely: "Cookie, what are you doing? Why are you looking at me like that? Did I owe you money?"
I joked with her, but then Xia Ying suddenly held both of my hands: "Soda, what's wrong with you? Talk to Cookie."
At that moment, I suddenly felt a wave of grievance rise in my heart: "Cookie, why did we provoke those three rascals?" My teeth clenched as I spoke. Xia Ying: "Soda, it's not your fault! You had the courage to prank those rascals; it shows you're a hero!"
"But because of those three bastards, we watched our team from Yulin High School get eliminated by Experiment Three..." I clenched my fists and slammed them onto the table; the wound on my head throbbed painfully in response.
"Soda, don't do this! You still have Cookie by your side. I know you're not willing to accept this; next year—next year we'll have another chance! We'll come back next season; Cookie will always support you." Xia Ying held my hands tightly.
"Shangguan Leinuo is truly a great player. I wonder when I'll be able to defeat him on the court. Next season, with Zhongqi Senior, Zhang Jun, and Bing Ge gone, who will lead the team? Who will be our leader in the Locker Room...?" I closed my eyes as thoughts swirled in my mind.
Then Xia Ying stood up and walked over to pat me on the shoulder: "Xiang Jie, next season is up to you! You are the new captain of Yulin High School. You three from the Jade Unicorn Three Swordsmen are the core of Yulin. Only under your leadership can we go further." Her serious gaze felt like she was giving me a huge mission.
"Can I really be a good leader? The word 'leader' carries so much weight; it comes with many responsibilities..." I shook my head.
After hearing this, Xia Ying slammed her hand on the table and shouted at me: "Jie! Don't you think you're being irresponsible? Teacher Qiu, Zhongqi Senior, Bing Ge, even Li Kanglin and Tu Lei have entrusted the future of Yulin to you! But now you're being so negative—do you deserve their trust?"
She yelled at me fiercely while I sat there listening quietly. Suddenly, she softened her tone: "Jie, now that the league is over, we have our final exams coming up soon. We need to focus on studying urgently; don’t let yourself get distracted anymore or make Cookie worry about you okay?" She looked at me with her big watery eyes full of innocence that made one feel heartbroken.
I gently held her hand: "Cookie, I won't let you worry about me anymore. Yes, we have exams coming up; we need to study hard! Heehee, let’s go shopping together." As I stood up and pulled her along, she also showed a knowing smile.
"My parents asked A Fei to keep an eye on me; I wonder where he ran off to now." As we walked down the street, I suddenly remembered about A Fei.
"Xia Ying" pouted thoughtfully: "He’s probably on a date with Sha Xiaomei."
"That shouldn’t be possible; I know him best. He probably doesn’t have any mood for dating right now—he's likely sitting at home staring blankly at the wall thinking things over and even forgetting to eat or drink for a while—definitely feeling depressed."
I replied to her; indeed, for someone like A Fei, who aimed for championship every year, being stopped in the semifinals was another heavy blow.
