Cheng Ju played the shuttlecock very well. Yi Zi saved most of her sweat for the action of picking up the ball. Although she kept praising Cheng Ju for playing the shuttlecock very well, she had a stubborn personality. She decided that she would never give up this sport before she won against Cheng Ju.
Coincidentally, the school's Blockade Competition was held in the school's Blockade Hall. First, it was an internal competition between the various schools, and then the other schools. Yizi did not ask about the rest. She would definitely not participate in the future competitions. It was not that she could not do it, but her pride. Even if she won, she would definitely not participate because she was not really interested. She signed up just to show Cheng Ju that she was not weak. She could win. In his heart, she could win.
I am a hypocritical and lowly woman. The night before the competition, Yizi wrote in her diary.
Sometimes, she hated herself. She felt that she was always playing the role of the villain, and she should be the small character who was shot to death as soon as she left the movie.
After a few weeks of careful preparation, on the day of the academy competition, she won by a slight margin. When she looked at the contestants from the various academies who had advanced, she smiled in resignation.
Cheng Ju did not register at all.
She was still a little unconvinced, so she secretly decided that she must have a good match with Cheng Ju tonight. Then, a set of images flashed across her mind. She and Cheng Ju were facing each other, and Cheng Ju was serving the ball to determine the winner...
After class, eating, and resting in the dormitory, Yi Zi went downstairs in high spirits. From afar, she could see a thin figure standing under the street lamp.
Wait a minute, Yi 'zi was stunned. Why wasn't there anything on his back?
Hence, she restrained her steps and walked over slowly.
"What are you waiting for?"
"What? No... there is." As he spoke, Yi Zi and Cheng Ju walked towards the campus.
"What's wrong? You don't look right."
"Ah…no, it's obviously you.”
"What about me?"
"Did you forget to bring something?”Yi 'zi was too embarrassed to say it out loud. After all, he was invited to play basketball by someone else, not someone who owed him.
"No, I didn't." Cheng Ju said innocently.
When Yi Zi heard this, he was suddenly displeased. He snorted and walked away in a muffled voice. Cheng Ju only followed him with a mocking smile. He probably thought that he was just doing some warm-up exercises before exercising.
However, Yi 'zi was not so calm. The more she walked, the more unhappy she felt. In an instant, she had a lot of thoughts in her heart. She wanted to ask Cheng Ju what was going on, but she felt that she was too cocky, so she held it back. She kept repeating it, making her feel very uncomfortable along the way. If Mu Zi was around, she would have known what she was thinking. With this thought, she suddenly thought of Mu Zi, but she definitely could not let Mu Zi know about this. She suddenly felt that she did not even have someone to talk to now. A sad sense of loneliness arose spontaneously. She wanted to find someone to sit with and tell her the truth.
He walked absent-mindedly like this. Unknowingly, he actually walked to the football field. The football field was connected to the sports field. The grass here was the best in the entire school. It was said that it was imported. He didn't have the chance to come here during the day to experience the feeling of greenery because there would be many people holding competitions here. At night, it was quiet. It was a good opportunity.
It was almost autumn, and the grass was not as vibrant and green as before. Under the night sky, it was especially weathered, but the air was good. Yi Zi took a breath and slowly exhaled, and his mood gradually improved.
However, before he could finish exhaling, he was interrupted by Cheng Ju's words.
"Why? Did you practice Qigong today?”
Yi 'zi was recuperating his emotions and didn't know what to say to this sudden teasing. He couldn't help but panic.
"Can…can we go inside and sit for a while?”
After Yi 'zi finished speaking, she saw Cheng Ju's nonchalant smile and immediately felt that she had said something wrong.
"Sure,"
The grass was different when he stepped on it. Every step he took had a kind of gushing texture. However, as he walked, Yi Zi was in a dilemma. Where should he sit on this football field that was covered in green grass and had no wooden chairs to rest? Cheng Ju was a germaphobe. It seemed that there was no chance of him sitting on the ground. However, even if he was not germaphobe, he could not sit on the grass directly. Sigh, he really gave himself a problem.
Just as Yi Zi was fretting, she heard Cheng Ju's shout.
"What are you daydreaming about?"
Looking from afar, Cheng Ju was sitting in the goal and waving at her.
Yi Zi immediately ran over apologetically and found Cheng Ju sitting on the iron pole of the goal.
"Sit down, it's clean."
Yi 'zi did not stand on ceremony and sat down directly. However, a second ago, she was like an innocent little girl, sitting down with gratitude. However, in the next second, she suddenly became awkward, leaving a gap of about two fists between the two of them.
"Sit on my side. I didn't wipe that side.”
"Oh."
When Yi Zi agreed, her heart started to beat wildly. This was the first time she was alone with a boy other than Mu Zi in the night, and she was actually nervous.
When she sat down, Yi 'zi suddenly felt that the surroundings were very quiet. It was so quiet that she could only hear the sound of their breathing. Even she herself was wondering why she was not nervous at all, but how could she show it? Hence, she lowered her head and did not dare to look at him. However, she knew that nothing would happen between her and Cheng Ju.
They were people from two different worlds. They had met by chance because they had reached a fork in the road at the same time. After a while, they would still go their separate ways and advance in their own direction.
"Something doesn't seem right today. Is something on your mind?”Cheng Ju couldn't help but ask when he saw Yi Zi lowering his head and not speaking.
Upon hearing the question, Yi 'zi immediately looked up. Then, she saw Cheng Ju leaning against the goalpost with his legs slightly curled up like an injured child. She didn't know why she had such thoughts at that time. She always felt that he needed someone to take care of him, but the person who needed to take care of him wouldn't be her.
" Yes, I... miss home..." Yizi cried as she said that. Actually, she would not miss home. She had long given up on that broken place. She missed Mu Zi. It was very hard to be a sports student. She did not know if he was doing well now, but she did not have the courage to call Mu Zi back. She felt that Mu Zi despised her.
However, these words could not be said to Cheng Ju. At least, people with normal brains would not say them.
"Crying?"
"No, I haven't." Yizi answered, but her hand kept wiping away her tears.
"Alright, alright. Can't we go back this week? Think about it. What if your non-local classmates miss home? You can't cry too, right? It's okay, it's okay. Don't cry.”Cheng Ju said these words while hugging Yi Zi's shoulder.
To Yi 'zi's surprise, none of this was planned by her. All the ambiguous things that happened in the third year of high school were all done by her to show Ah Jun. However, today's situation was unexpected. She did not want to cry with Cheng Ju at all. She had never been a fragile person, and she had always thought that it was very rude to cry with Cheng Ju.
" I'm not crying. I'm clearly detoxifying..." Yi Zi explained in a hoarse voice.
When she finished speaking, she felt Cheng Ju's grip on her shoulders tighten. Perhaps, he missed home too. Perhaps, he was also worried about someone. That person might also be in someone else's embrace, crying and hurting someone else's heart.
Her tears stopped, but sadness filled the air. She leaned her head on her shoulders and looked at the waning moon hanging alone in the night sky. The last time she looked at the moon seriously, it was still round and stuck to the night sky. She did not expect the days to pass so quickly. Suddenly, even the moon was missing.
"Cheng Ju." Yi Zi called out softly.
"Hmm?"
"Chengju, tell me your story, okay?”
"When did my story start?”
"Whatever. I'll remember it deeply."
"Then let's talk about my junior high school…"
It turned out that Cheng Ju was also a " hero of a generation " in junior high school. He was in a hurry and got into fights. Every time, his mother would come forward to solve it. Who knew how many bank cards the director had given him to get into senior high school. However, he also relied on his good grades and top grades. Therefore, the school turned a blind eye to his fights.
However, if he was so good at his studies, why did he not do well in the end?
He said that he really didn't want to study anymore. He felt that he had studied enough. From elementary school to high school, studying only brought him boredom. If he hadn't seen Yizi there, he might have dropped out of school.
Hearing Cheng Ju's words, Yi Zi also agreed. If it wasn't for her family's situation that didn't allow her to back down, she might not have been able to get into the city's first-tier university. Especially when it was a week before the college entrance examination, she would do the questions until she vomited every day. She would never forget the rhythm of the questions. However, she did not expect that she would become Cheng Ju's motivation to stay in school. Perhaps he said that on purpose, but Yi Zi did not expect that she actually had the potential to motivate others.
Cheng Ju talked a lot about his family, his buddies, and even his lofty ideals and life aspirations, but he did not talk about his feelings.
Yi 'zi did not ask. It was not that he was not curious, but he felt that it was not the right time.
It was about ten o'clock when the two of them walked out of the football field. Yi Zi was holding his arm. Although his arm was not strong, it was still very strong. For a moment, she felt that Mu Zi could not bring her such peace. It was as if she had been holding the arm of her beloved person for the rest of her life, accompanying him until her temples turned white...
She sighed in her heart as the two of them slowly walked towards the dormitory area.
