After that, I became a bit dazed and couldn't remember anything clearly. I only vaguely felt that I was lifted into a car and then thrown onto a bed. Soon after, I fell into a deep sleep. In my dream, I found myself transformed into a swordsman wielding a sharp sword, riding a brown steed galloping across the grasslands. Suddenly, I spotted a demon ahead, and I rushed forward to slash at it, but before I could reach it, I fell off my horse...
"Jie, wake up." I was shaken awake by A Fei. Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I slowly opened them and saw A Fei staring at me. "Jie, what were you dreaming about just now?" A Fei asked.
"Oh, nothing much. Just had a nightmare. What time is it now?" I stretched lazily and asked him. "It's already past three in the afternoon. By the way, the person in charge, Uncle Li, just came by to inform us that we will be going to Cangzhou to rest for a few days and gather again in Shanghai for the National Finals," A Fei told me. "Oh, when are we going back to Cangzhou?" I asked while moving my neck. A Fei replied, "Tomorrow morning at eight!" What! My hand that was rubbing my neck suddenly stopped. I didn't expect it to be so soon; we're leaving for Cangzhou tomorrow morning at eight? Why do I feel a bit of fluctuation and reluctance...
After dinner, I took out my phone and logged onto QQ. Xia Ying was online. As soon as I logged in, she sent me a message: "Our champion player is online! Welcome!" This quirky girl has quite a sweet tongue. I immediately dialed her number. Once connected, I spoke first: "Baby, have you missed me?" I said in an especially cheesy tone. "Hey... can we not use such disgusting tones? Who would miss you?" Xia Ying replied. "Alright! If you don't miss me, then I'm not going back tomorrow morning!" Hehe, I teased her a bit, and she fell for it, asking in surprise: "What! You're coming back tomorrow morning? Is that true?"
"You don't care whether it's true or not; anyway, you don't miss me, so it doesn't matter if I go back or not," I continued to tease her. She couldn't hold it in anymore and anxiously said to me: "I miss you so much! It's been over a week since you went to Beijing; hurry back..." We chatted for quite a while, mostly flirting with each other. After hanging up the phone, I looked at the time and saw it was already past four. Taking a deep breath, I noticed someone messaging me on QQ; it was Ya who sent me a message. I told her that we would be going back to Cangzhou tomorrow morning. Ya was silent for about three minutes before replying: "Let's go play in the park tonight; I'll go too, at eight-thirty."
After dinner, I used the excuse of going out for a walk to step outside. As I walked along the streets filled with bright lights and lively scenes on both sides, I thought to myself: Let's take a good look at Beijing's night view tonight; we won't see it again tomorrow. Suddenly passing by a shoe store, a pair of yellow high-top sandals caught my eye. I slowly walked inside. "What kind of shoes are you looking for? We don't have your size here; all we sell are women's shoes," the store manager, who looked about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, kindly reminded me as soon as I entered.
"Um, store manager, my cousin asked me to bring her back a pair of shoes. You know how troublesome girls our age can be; if I don't bring her something she won't be happy. So when I saw these shoes..." I quickly responded. The store manager suddenly understood: "Oh, so that's how it is! Then feel free to look around; we have plenty of shoes here; I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for." I walked over to the pair of yellow shoes and picked them up carefully; they really were beautiful.
"Alright then, store manager! I'll buy this pair!" I turned around and told her. The store manager had such great service attitude; she smiled and walked over to ask me: "Okay! What size does your cousin wear?" This question really stumped me; there was no way around it as I stammered: "Sister... um... sister, I really don't know what size she wears; anyway, she's about your height and is the same age as me..." "Alright! Now I know what size to get for you; wait a moment," the store manager said as she headed towards the back of the store to get the shoes. Meanwhile, I continued admiring those yellow shoes outside while imagining how Ya would look wearing them.
Before long, the store manager came out with the shoes. After paying for them, I carried the shoes out of the store and walked all the way to the park where Ya and I had met last time and sat down on the bench there. Taking out my phone and glancing at it revealed that it was just eight o'clock. I took out my earphones and plugged them in to listen to music on my portable player; the first song playing was "Exclusive Flavor" sung by Wang Sulong and Lin Xier. The upbeat duet sounded great; its lyrics were quite sweet too. Without realizing it, I began humming along: "Our fate just doesn't allow others to disturb..." Just as I was lost in the music with my eyes closed, casually opening them revealed a pair of feet; following those feet up led me to see... It was Ya who had arrived! Smiling playfully at her, I said: "Ya! You came early today by almost half an hour! Did the store manager give you time off?"
Ya smiled as she sat down beside me: "Yes! Today I asked for leave from the store manager so that I could come out early." Picking up that pair of shoes from beside the bench, I handed them over without daring to look directly at her: "Here... this is for you..." A hint of surprise flashed in Ya's eyes before her face turned red: "Why are you giving me a gift? We've only just met for a few days." Ya is so innocent like a blank sheet of paper that it's hard for me to imagine why such an obedient girl hasn't been pursued by anyone yet? Moreover, in today's harsh society, what if someone deceives her or bullies her? Suddenly, an impulse arose within me—a desire to protect her.
