"Teacher Qiu, how did the Second High School rise so rapidly within a year? Is it just because of Chu Yuetao?" Ouyang asked. I also didn't understand what had changed at the Second High School. Teacher Qiu seemed to have gone to a good coach and received some strong support, but he wasn't very clear about it either. After school at noon, we walked out of the gym to the classroom and ran into Xia Ying on the playground. She was there to play as well. I smiled politely at her and walked past, but she called out to me, "Jie, I have something to tell you." It turned out she was waiting specifically for me. After hearing that, I stopped and turned back to smile at her, "Sure, let's sit over there." I walked towards the big camphor tree, with Xia Ying following behind me. This tree was particularly majestic, like a large umbrella covering the people resting on the playground. I had experienced so many stories under this tree that whenever something happened, I would come here to sit and feel a bit more relaxed.
"Alright, what is it?" I asked casually as I sat down and looked into the distance. Xia Ying gazed ahead and said to me, "Jie, I've started dating Xie Zhinan." "I know, haven't you two been dating for a while? That's not news. You silly girl, I hope you can be happy," I teased her while casually poking her shoulder with my finger. After hearing that, Xia Ying turned her head to look at me and smiled slightly, "Well then, thank you, Jie. I know Situ Yanan likes you. Why don't you confirm your relationship with her? Is it because you still..." Xia Ying suddenly lowered her voice and her expression became somewhat unnatural. I knew what she was referring to and quickly interrupted her: "No! No! No! Silly girl, where are you going with this? I'm just focused on preparing for my competition right now; I'm not considering anything else. Otherwise, how could I have reached this position? If I were still caught up in romantic feelings like before, I'd probably be stopped in the semifinals again this year. It's because I've become indifferent that I've been able to achieve success so quickly, haha."
"Cut it out! You're getting more ridiculous; your idioms are terrible! It's 'achieving enlightenment,' not 'becoming a god,' silly," Xia Ying's tone became lighter as we exchanged silly smiles. I felt like this girl had suddenly returned to when we first met; that lively and wild Xia Ying seemed to have come back after a year apart. Bless you, Xia Ying. In the afternoon, we continued training. Ouyang, Kobe, Zhou Wenming, and I discussed our strategies together. Kobe, Li Kanglin, and Tu Lei had strong explosive power; we should start connecting plays from mid-range for them. Ouyang needed to practice his three-point shooting more to aim for a hit rate above fifty percent; if he could do that, he'd become our secret weapon. In the end, everyone agreed that I should be the one calling the shots on the court; I should be the true soul of our lineup. My mission was to lead Yulin to glory. Sigh! The pressure was mounting, but it was precisely this pressure that provided motivation; my motivation came from the support and encouragement of all my classmates in Yulin.
After school in the afternoon, as soon as I walked out of the school gate, Situ Yanan approached me. "Hey? Why aren't you going home after school? Why are you following me?" I asked her. Situ Yanan smiled and said, "Hehe, Brother Jie, we have a distance of five hundred forty-eight meters and forty-four centimeters that's on your way." I was shocked after hearing that and widened my eyes at her! How did she measure such an exact distance? "Yanan, is math your strong suit?" I asked with wide eyes. She pushed her bike forward as she replied, "Of course! I'm the math class representative! Brother Jie guessed pretty accurately; we really are in sync." After hearing that, I shook my head helplessly and followed her: "Well... it's actually easy to guess; who would be so bored as to measure distances if they weren't obsessed with math?" As I said this, I strode ahead of her and then heard her stomping her feet behind me shouting: "Dead Jack! Stinky Jie! I'm going to kill you!" "Oh no! I'm so scared! Hurry up and kill me; I'm just not wanting to live anymore!" As I said this while riding my bike away from her, just trying to tease this girl.
After getting home, my mom made me a delicious meal to replenish my brainpower and energy; now at home I'm treated like a national protected animal. After dinner, my parents and I went for a walk outside and ended up on the street with our hands in our pockets looking up at the sky filled with stars. For some reason, as I gazed at the bright moonlight, thoughts of Ya suddenly came to mind—her clear bright eyes and pure kind heart along with that clean smile... "The first love song is all about anxiety..." Just as I was lost in thought, my phone rang abruptly pulling my attention back from the moonlight. When I checked my phone it was Situ Yanan calling. "Hello? Yanan? What's up? Missing Brother Jie?" After connecting the call, I started joking around again. Situ Yanan replied from the other end: "Yes! How did you know? I'm thinking of you! I'm currently one hundred two meters and thirty centimeters away from you; do you want to see your little sister Nan?" After hearing that instinctively looked around only to find her not far across the street waving vigorously at me.
After hanging up the phone, I ran over to her: "How did you know I lived around here?" As I approached her she put on a nonchalant expression: "Is that hard? If I want to know something I'll find out; come on! Let's go enjoy the night scenery together; you've never taken me out before." She grabbed my hand and started walking forward but feeling shocked like an electric shock I shook off her hand. Her eyes flashed with embarrassment and disappointment but quickly returned to a smile: "Hehe! Brother Jie is really angry now; if you're not holding hands then fine!" Then we walked down the empty street together. "Brother Jie," Situ Yanan asked me after a moment's pause, "after tomorrow you'll consider making me your girlfriend right?" To be honest, this question left me unsure how to respond but since it seemed important enough for me to answer something so I nodded: "Um... yes." Situ Yanan's eyes lit up with surprise: "Okay okay! Just admitting it is enough! Hehe! Come on! Let's go for a walk together."
