After we left the hospital, we returned to school. During the half of the class, I was distracted and unable to focus. What would happen to our Team Feng Wing without A Fei? After school, I walked home alone, thinking about the quarterfinals we had on Friday. How could we play without A Fei? When I got home, I was so upset that I didn't even eat dinner. Feeling suffocated, I decided to take a walk. With my hands in my pockets, I looked up at the sky, but there wasn't a single star; it was overcast. The more I walked, the more frustrated I felt. Was I really destined to be unable to win the City High League championship? "Ah!" I shouted out loud, venting my dissatisfaction. Passersby clearly didn't notice this crazy person.
Suddenly, someone approached me. I turned around and saw Kobe and Zhou Wenming walking towards me. "What's wrong?" I asked casually.
I nodded, "Well, there's nothing to hide. Sigh! A Fei got injured during the match against Experiment Three today; he has a torn ligament in his left leg and probably won't be able to return to the court this year..."
"What? Is that true?" Both of them were shocked, their mouths agape. Zhou Wenming sighed, "Sigh! How could such an excellent Super Forward fall? Your Yulin's strength must be affected."
"Yeah, it will at least reduce our offensive power by a third. A Fei's contributions on defense were also something we relied on. Now our prospects in the City High League are a bit uncertain..." I shook my head. Kobe patted my shoulder, "Don't be too sad; at least you guys will still fight for him. He's much luckier than us who have no games to play."
Indeed, Kobe and Zhou Wenming were quite pitiful too; they had great skills but nowhere to showcase them. If only they could come help us...
Wait! Our lineup is incomplete now; Teacher Qiu should agree to their joining us! If that's the case, we can continue pursuing our championship dream! "Hey guys, I suddenly had an idea. Let me ask you a question: if you had to choose between familiar campus life and returning to the court to chase your dreams, which one would you choose?" I probed them.
Kobe seemed to think of something and looked at me with uncertainty: "Jie, what are you thinking?"
"Kobe, you're really smart! I just had a thought: if you two came down from your high pedestal to join us at Yulin and fought side by side with us, wouldn't our chances of winning increase? I believe our aspirations should be the same; it's our last year of high school, and no one wants regrets." I laid it all out there and left the choice up to them. Kobe and Zhou Wenming's abilities could completely fill A Fei's gap, allowing Ouyang some relief.
They fell silent for a moment before Zhou Wenming said, "Jie, graduation is approaching; transferring schools now is really difficult for us... But... sigh! Let's just spend these last fifty days at Thirteen Middle School."
"But don't you want to experience the feeling of chasing a championship? Are you really content being spectators? Think about it; I'll wait for your change of heart. However... if you're really unwilling to transfer schools, then I won't force it. Regardless of what happens, I hope you won't regret your decision and just be happy." Alright then, it's getting late; I should go back and sleep now. Goodnight!" As I turned to leave, my heart raced with anxiety—would they come to Yulin? Come on!
Kobe and Zhou Wenming's combination defeated us in last year's City High League while Zhongqi Senior, Bing Ge, Zhang Ruizhi were all present; their power shouldn't be underestimated. If we could recruit them into our team, we would surely soar in the City High League.
The next day at school, I rushed straight to the gym. "Teacher Qiu! I need to discuss something with you!" As soon as I entered the door, I shouted. Teacher Qiu was about to start class; I'd have to wait until training during study hall. Nodding at him, I returned to class.
After three long periods of classes, I couldn't wait any longer and headed back to the gym. Then I pulled Teacher Qiu into the Locker Room; other team members looked confused by my actions. Once inside and closing the door behind us, I let Teacher Qiu sit down.
"Jie, what's going on? Why so mysterious?" Teacher Qiu asked as he sat down with a puzzled look.
I sat across from him seriously: "Teacher Qiu, A Fei is out for the season. If I'm thinking about reinforcing our team, would you agree with this suggestion?"
"What?!" Teacher Qiu was indeed surprised by my sudden proposal but quickly regained his composure: "Finish your thought; how do you plan on reinforcing?"
Then I shared all my thoughts with Teacher Qiu. After listening carefully, he decisively waved his hand at me: "No way! Our team's lineup has already been set; we can't change it casually!"
"But Teacher Qiu, this is a special time; our forward line is vacant right now with excellent players available to fill that gap. The idea that we can't change our team lineup is just a slogan—slogans are dead while people are alive! Please reconsider."
I pleaded earnestly with him; I'm sure that as long as I'm patient enough, I'll move Teacher Qiu's heart. Sure enough, he fell into deep thought. If it were the old Teacher Qiu, he would have firmly rejected me right away; however now considering our entire Yulin High School's honor made him waver.
If Teacher Qiu agrees for Kobe and Zhou Wenming to come to Yulin then I'd have confidence in winning the championship! No wait! They haven't even decided whether or not they want to come yet! Oh no! Xiang Jie you fool! You should have confirmed Kobe and Zhou Wenming's intentions before talking to Teacher Qiu!
