Chapter 158 Dreams Come True
A few days later, the semi-finals of the National College Basketball League were held at the Longcheng University Gymnasium in Longcheng City.
Shen Ci only had two tickets, so while all three people in the dormitory were there, she asked Gu Lianxing and Pili who wanted to go.
Gu Lianxing refused without a second thought because she really had no interest in basketball.
Pili was quite interested, and seeing that Gu Lianxing was not going, she took the ticket from Shen Ci's hand and expressed her willingness to go and see the excitement.
It was a sunny day. Chen Ci bought two iced drinks outside the gymnasium and then found the corresponding ticket gate with Pili to enter.
There were quite a lot of spectators coming to watch the game, no less than a small concert, but the difference was that there were obviously more boys, and the two beauties, Shen Ci and Pili, inevitably attracted attention in the crowd.
Some bold boys came to ask for their WeChat, but Chen Ci declined with a smile.
Pili completely depends on looks. If she sees someone who looks good, she will add him. In Lianxing's words, "I'm free anyway, so I might as well use it to kill time."
“Chen Ci, this way!”
As soon as they reached the entrance, they saw Shao Yu jumping and waving at her. Seeing this, Shen Ci smiled and waved in response, pulling Pili and quickly walked towards him.
"You're here too. Qu Yang didn't tell me. If I had known, we would have come together."
Approaching, Shen Ci looked at Shao Yu and greeted him naturally.
Shao Yu grinned and explained, "I must come to watch my brother's game. This beautiful lady isn't your previous roommate, is she a new friend?"
As he spoke, he looked at Pili and took the initiative to introduce himself: "Hello, I'm Shao Yu from the Department of Physical Education at HKUST."
Pili nodded slightly, and Shen Ci responded for her: "This one is from our dormitory too. Isn't she pretty? Her name is Pili."
"Wow! This name is quite domineering." Shao Yu's eyes lit up, as if he suddenly understood where Pili's unique temperament came from.
She stood there like a model, exuding a powerful aura.
A few people entered the venue while chatting. The seats were pretty good, but a bit crowded.
The electronic scoreboard on the field has marked the two camps today.
"Longcheng University of Science and Technology" VS "Sanchuan Sports University"
The winning team will enter the finals and compete with the winning team of the other semi-final for the championship and runner-up. The two teams that lose the semi-finals will also play an extra game to compete for the third and fourth place.
"This competition is the most authoritative school-level league in the country. It is held every two years and has provided many basketball players to major domestic clubs." Shao Yu took the initiative to introduce it to the two.
Shen Ci nodded and admitted frankly: "We don't really understand the rules of basketball, but we can still understand the goal."
Shao Yu smiled and said meaningfully: "I'm sure you'll be happy to come to Qu Yang. I hope he can perform consistently. It would be even better if he can perform exceptionally well!"
The time was almost up, and the players of the two basketball teams suddenly lined up and entered the court from the aisle of the locker room, and the scene immediately erupted in warm cheers.
Many students from the University of Science and Technology came to cheer for their school.
Although it is not held in the gymnasium of HKUST, Longcheng University of Science and Technology still has a three-point home advantage compared to the "Sanchuan Sports University" which came from far away.
Qu Yang was particularly eye-catching in the team. When they saw him come out, Shao Yu and Shen Ci stood up and cheered and screamed his name.
Pili was much more reserved, but she also sat in her seat and applauded. After all, she had participated in boxing matches and knew that the audience's reaction would more or less affect and stimulate the contestants.
Qu Yang immediately locked onto Chen Ci's position. Seeing her coming and cheering for him loudly, Qu Yang smiled and waved towards their position.
After completing some routine procedures and both players gave each other friendly high-fives, the competition began!
Whenever there is a game, the atmosphere at the scene will unconsciously be filled with tension. As Chen Ci said, even if she doesn't understand the rules, she knows which side scored the goal. As long as HKUST scores, she will stand up and cheer with Shao Yu and other HKUST students to boost morale.
Gradually, even Pili joined in, from sitting and clapping to standing and cheering.
If Qu Yang scored a goal, the voices of several people would become louder, and they would directly shout Qu Yang's name.
On the basketball court, Qu Yang also changed his usual steady and down-to-earth character. Every time he scored a goal, he would raise his arms and cheer, high-five, fist-bump, and even jump up and bump shoulders with his teammates to celebrate.
In short, it is some mysterious behavior among boys who think they are very handsome.
The score was always very close, but in the end, "Longcheng University of Science and Technology" narrowly defeated "Sanchuan Sports University" by a small margin of three points. The moment the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the whole stadium was filled with flying ribbons and the cheers were deafening.
Chen Ci was fully engaged, her blood boiling with excitement, and when her eyes met Qu Yang's, she gave him a thumbs up with praise.
At that moment, the smile on Qu Yang's face was brighter than ever before. He nodded and waved at Chen Ci with stars in his eyes. This scene was the scene he had dreamed of countless times.
Now, it has finally become a reality!
After the game, Shao Yu told Shen Ci: “Qu Yang told you to wait for him at the east gate exit of the gymnasium. He has something to tell you.”
When saying this, Shao Yu changed his usual cheerful expression and became a little serious.
Shen Ci knew that Qu Yang had something to tell her, but looking at Shao Yu's expression at this time, she couldn't help but feel a little strange.
What's a bad thing?
"Your expression makes me feel a little panicked." Shen Ci forced a smile and asked hesitantly: "Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
Shao Yu's smile became even more forced: "How should I put it, I think it's a good thing for him."
Shen Ci felt relieved when he heard this and breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, as long as it's a good thing."
Shao Yu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed his words. Qu Yang had his own ideas, and he couldn't say any more.
Arriving at the agreed location, Pili waited with Chen Ci for a while before seeing Qu Yang jogging over with a bag on his back.
Seeing this, Pili took the initiative and said, "Then I'll wait for you across the street."
Shen Ci nodded.
When Qu Yang came over, Chen Ci smiled and congratulated him in person: "Congratulations on winning the game. The finals will be next. I hope you can win the championship."
Qu Yang also had a happy look on his face. Obviously, the victory in the game and Shen Ci's presence made him happy from the bottom of his heart.
"So what's the matter?" Shen Ci thought of Shao Yu's reaction and was inevitably a little nervous, but she asked in a relaxed manner at this time, not wanting to make the atmosphere too tense.
Qu Yang looked at Chen Ci without much hesitation, because he had already made the decision in his heart.
"Chen Ci, I'm leaving."
Shen Ci was startled: "Leave? Where to?"
Qu Yang explained, "I was selected by the national team and will be joining the youth team, so I applied for a leave of absence. Maybe when I come back to complete my studies, you will have graduated."
Shen Ci was a little confused at first, but then she smiled: "That's a good thing. Being able to join the national team must be your career dream. Congratulations!"
Second update.
Qu Yang has also temporarily left the stage. He is a very nice guy and I like him.
There will be more updates today!
