"A Fei, didn't you hear what that guy just said? He still hasn't given up on Xia Ying and thinks he might have a chance in the future. Is that even humanly possible?!" I said to A Fei. A Fei looked at me and replied, "But he really hasn't done anything. He likes Xia Ying in his heart but has never thought about ruining your relationship! Besides, what I heard was that he thinks there's a possibility of taking advantage if you treat Xia Ying poorly. In some ways, Xie Zhinan is much more mature than you!"
Listening to A Fei defend Xie Zhinan, I felt like I was about to explode with anger. "Fine! He's a good person, and I'm the damn jerk!" I angrily picked up my bike and tried to leave, but A Fei called out from behind, "Jack, what's wrong with you? Ever since we came back from Wu Jieyun High School, I've noticed you've been acting strange. What's going on?" At this, I stood there dumbfounded. The hidden feelings inside me were brought to the surface by A Fei. Slowly, I turned to him and said, "A Fei, do you think we're both failures…"
A Fei asked me in confusion, "Huh? Failures? Why would you think that?" I sat down on the roadside with my bike's stand up, and A Fei also put down his bike and sat next to me. "A Fei, I feel like I'm just a substitute candidate in Team, not even qualified to be a starter…" "Nonsense!" Before I could finish, A Fei interrupted me sharply, "Jack, can't you see? From now on, Yulin High School will rely on you. With me and Ouyang, the three of us will be the starting core trio of Team. If you keep being so downcast, how can we lead Yulin further? How can we guide Li Kanglin, Tu Lei, and Wei Weiwei! You're the successor of Zhongqi Senior!” After this scolding from A Fei, I felt awakened. That's right! This is not the time to lose heart; we haven't reached the top yet!
I turned to A Fei with a confident smile and said, "Thank you, A Fei. We will continue to fight side by side and lead the team forward together!" After hearing this, A Fei patted my shoulder with satisfaction and said, "That's more like it! Let's go home." We picked up our bikes and headed home. Walking along the road, I felt much lighter; every time A Fei guided me, it opened my mind. However... after confronting Xie Zhinan, I wondered if Xia Ying would let me off tomorrow at school...
The next day at school, I nervously walked into the classroom and sat down at my desk. Xia Ying was reading a book. "Cookie, reading again?" I tentatively asked her. Without looking up, she replied, "Yeah, I'm reading. You’re here." Huh? Her tone was still indifferent; she didn't seem too angry. "Hey, Cookie, have you been in touch with Xie Zhinan lately?" I continued probing. Upon hearing this, Xia Ying became annoyed; she closed her book and turned to me with a serious expression: "What are you doing? Haven't we already talked about this? He's just my classmate and buddy! You still don't believe me! Do I need to report every time I meet him? Honestly!" After saying this, she reopened her book but did so rather forcefully.
Phew! It seems like Xie Zhinan hasn't told Xia Ying about that incident. I quickly reassured her: "Alright, alright! I'm not against you two meeting or anything; just asking casually. Don't be mad." After a huff from her, she ignored me again. If only I'd known better than to ask her! It's strange; why hasn't Xie Zhinan complained to Xia Ying? Could it be that he was scared off by me? That can't be right; he was so arrogant before.
During noon training, I kept smiling. Tu Lei came over and said: "Jack, why are you so happy today? We're about to play our last match of the group stage soon. Last time we lost at home to Thirteen Middle School. I wonder how tomorrow's match will go." "Don't worry! We'll face whatever comes our way; we just need to be ready for the match," I replied cheerfully. Seeing me like this made A Fei nod approvingly. Tomorrow's away game against the top team should give us decent odds if Bing Ge is there; otherwise, after losing him from our team against weaker opponents like Wu Jieyun, we'll need to give 200% effort against Thirteen Middle School!
After school at noon when we were walking towards the classroom through the playground, I joked around: "A Fei, have you ever kissed Sha Xiaomei?" I asked with a mischievous grin while nudging him with my shoulder. "Cut it out! Ask your own family member, Xia Ying, about that..." We started playfully teasing each other when suddenly something whizzed past us between our legs—quickly flying by as if shot from a slingshot. "Who did that!" I shouted behind us as someone’s shadow flickered away without a trace. Looking at what had flown past us, A Fei remarked: "Looks like it was a metal marble; luckily we dodged it while messing around earlier or we'd definitely have gotten hurt." Hearing this made me gasp; who would pull such a nasty prank?
On our way home, A Fei told me that the Celtics were about to advance to the conference semifinals but feared they might not get past the Miami Heat. Still, he would continue supporting them as always. Actually, I liked the Celtics too and also admired the Memphis Grizzlies. My admiration for them started last season when they created the underdog “Black Eight Miracle.” They were truly impressive. When we got home, my mom asked if there was a game tomorrow. "Yes! It's going to be an especially crucial match," I replied. My mom nodded: "Then I'll make something delicious for you tonight." She was so good to me! After entering my room, I lay on my bed with my eyes closed to rest my mind. Right now, I didn't even dare log onto QQ because I couldn't face someone specific. I wondered how Ya was doing now; it had almost been a year since I'd seen her. Would she still be working at that restaurant during summer vacation?
