Everyone originally wanted to stay here for a few more days, but there were not many students who could teach at the school. They were the main force, and once they left, the teaching progress of both classes would slow down.

So after a discussion, they unanimously decided to start their return journey the next morning.

After all, the college entrance examination is only a few months away, and as long as it is over, I will have plenty of free time.

They went back and successfully bought high-speed rail tickets, which were much shorter and also accommodated two people.

Wei Chiyan and Jiang Yushi sat together. He noticed that Jiang Yushi's condition was still similar to yesterday, and even looked worse.

Look at the dark circles under his eyes, it looks like he hasn’t slept all night.

Wei Chiyan asked curiously, "Jiang Yushi, what's wrong with you? Are you still struggling with the issue of male and female cats?"

Jiang Yushi shook his head, but then nodded.

Wei Chiyan waved the English vocabulary book in his hand, looked at him with a look of disappointment, and said: "The college entrance examination is coming soon, why are you still so idle? Can you pay more attention to your studies?"

Jiang Yushi: "..."

It is not yet Wei Chiyan's turn to urge him to study.

Xie Ni happened to be sitting alone in the aisle to Jiang Yushi's left, and there were only three of them in this carriage.

Xie Yan also chimed in: "What Wei Chi said is right this time. What's so important that you're so anxious about it? The most important thing right now is the college entrance examination."

Jiang Yushi: "..."

Do they both love learning so much?

But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be true.

If you are too anxious to find answers to some things or questions, you will fall into misunderstandings.

It is better to calm down, treat it with a normal mind, and make a judgment in the most rational state.

Jiang Yushi thought so and finally found a reasonable reason to feel at ease.

But when he looked at Wei Chiyan, Jiang Yushi couldn't help but call his name and asked: "If one day, I do something that is not worthy of you, will we still be friends?"

Wei Chiyan reached out and touched Jiang Yushi's forehead, muttering, "He doesn't have a fever, why has he been talking nonsense these past two days? The questions he asks are stranger than the last."

But under Jiang Yushi's serious gaze, Wei Chiyan thought for a moment and said, "But I don't think you will do anything to let me down."

Jiang Yushi asked again: "What if?"

Wei Chiyan thought for a moment and replied: "If you only hurt me, I would probably forgive you if you apologize sincerely, but if you hurt other people, then we'll have to talk about it based on the specific circumstances."

At this moment, Xie Ni also asked: "Wei Chi, if one day I do something to let you down, will we still be friends?"

Wei Chiyan: "?"

What's wrong with both of them?

"Just like Jiang Yushi, fair and just." Wei Chiyan replied with such disdain, but still couldn't understand why they all asked such a strange question, and immediately became alert: "What on earth have you two done to offend me?"

Jiang Yushi immediately said: "No, I was just asking casually."

Xie said: "Not yet."

Wei Chiyan withdrew his gaze from Xie Nien and looked at Jiang Yushi again, and asked seriously: "Does the pair of socks I lost last year have anything to do with you? I will give you one last, last, last chance. Tell the truth."

Jiang Yushi: "..."

Jiang Yushi was so angry that he laughed and said, "Even if you ask me a hundred times, a thousand times, or ten thousand times, I still don't think I stole your torn socks!!!"

Xie Hate curled the corners of his lips, with a hint of smile in his eyes.

He looked out the window again.

And he didn't know when this world started to bore him as much as it did before.

＊

The group returned to the capital in the morning, and after returning to the dormitory to put their luggage, it was time for lunch.

As soon as they entered the cafeteria, they heard people discussing the afternoon basketball game.

Wei Chiyan's eyes lit up instantly, and his gaze, like a GPS, accurately found the captain of the basketball team who put down his plate and wanted to leave in the cafeteria.

But Xia Wan soon understood why, because the captain of the basketball team had dyed his hair blonde, and these two people were very recognizable among high school students.

Wei Chiyan invited Jiang Yushi to go with him, but Jiang Yushi refused, saying, "I didn't get enough rest last night, so I don't want to go today."

So Wei Chiyan went there by himself.

Su Qi sighed and shook his head.

He said: "The basketball team finally managed to avoid Wei Chiyan and had a basketball game, but they were careless and we came back too early."

Thinking about the last time she saw Wei Chiyan play basketball was last year, and how she was caught saying bad things about him, Xia Wan and Jiang Yushi looked at each other and remained silent.

However, in the afternoon, they were all forced to show up to watch Wei Chiyan's basketball performance.

Yes, it was a performance.

Even during class time, there were still as many spectators in the stands as before, eagerly awaiting Wei Chiyan's debut, even though his basketball skills were so abhorrent that they were abhorrent to both humans and gods.

Xia Wan sat with Xu Yaoyao and Meng Qing. Han Yue was not interested in this kind of competition and did not come over.

Behind them sat Lu Yue, who looked unhappy.

He quietly took out a notebook from his pocket, preparing to secretly learn how to beat Wei Chiyan to death while he was playing basketball.

But Xu Yaoyao still couldn't understand: "Is Wei Chiyan really that popular? What do these girls want?"

Meng Qing replied: "Wei Chiyan's face is indeed good-looking. When he smiles, he looks like a sunny little puppy, but when he doesn't smile, he looks very cool. He seems to be quite versatile, which is more in line with the type that girls like the most in recent years."

Xu Yaoyao looked at her in astonishment and asked, "How do you know so much?"

Meng Qing said: "Because my family runs a media company, no one knows the dehydrated popularity of those idols better than me."

Soon, when Wei Chiyan appeared on the stage, countless girls in the audience immediately screamed.

The boy was wearing a red and black basketball jersey, with a black headband on his forehead separating his unsightly hair. He smiled wildly and waved at them from a distance, and more people screamed and cheered.

Xu Yaoyao was slightly startled, then she said with emotion: "Wei Chi is stupid, but really beautiful."

She even couldn't help but raise her phone to take two photos and share them with her friends from other schools.

Behind him, Lu Yue raised his head and glanced at Wei Chiyan on the court, with a look of obvious dissatisfaction on his face.

Meng Qing opened a bag of potato chips that he had taken out from somewhere and complained: "If it weren't for this face, he would definitely get beaten on the basketball court."

"Ah?" Xu Yaoyao didn't understand.

Xia Wan looked at her and said with sympathy: "Be prepared, Wei Chi's ball skills are very...interesting."

After a long time, Xu Yaoyao understood what they were talking about.

Looking at Wei Chiyan rushing around like a headless fly, Xu Yaoyao's lips twitched. She really didn't expect to see such a scene.

Xu Yaoyao complained: "This is too outrageous. It's one thing to have bad skills, but it's too embarrassing to play like this...Ah, so handsome, he is really handsome!"

The reactions of the other girls around were obviously much more exaggerated than Xu Yaoyao's.

Xia Wan: "......?"

She looked at Xu Yaoyao and asked, "Are you crazy too? This is the first time you've praised Wei Chiyanshuai in such a long time."

Xu Yaoyao was also stunned. She shook her head, looked at Xia Wan, and said, "I don't know, but today I really feel that Wei Chiyan is very different. You should watch him for a while."

Xia Wan also took a look.

Because Wei Chiyan is still some distance away from the basketball, we can't see his illegal operations. Now we can only see this person.

From this point of view, it does seem pretty good.

Take another look——

Damn, he’s actually quite handsome.

Xia Wan also looked at Xu Yaoyao, and both of them had an expression as if they had seen a ghost.

Meng Qing was used to it and explained to them: "Haven't you two noticed? It's very strange, as soon as Wei Chiyan puts on sportswear and goes to the court, his charm suddenly increases. Otherwise, how could those girls ignore his poor basketball skills?"

Xia Wan couldn't understand and was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Just let him have fun in school and don't embarrass himself outside."

Xia Wan felt like a crow, really.

After today's basketball game ended, the forum began to discuss the basketball friendly game between Shengying and Shengyu next week.

Of course, anyone who knows this knows that there is no friendship between Shengying and Shengyu schools. Any competition or interaction is just to suppress the other side.

In response, Wei Chiyan said that he was ready and would work hard to show Shengyu how powerful they were.

Everyone was silent.

If Wei Chiyan joins, Shengying will definitely lose.

So Song Zhili said tactfully: "It doesn't matter if you come this time. You should focus on your studies."

However, Wei Chiyan remained determined and felt that he must fight for his love, for basketball, and for Sakura.

Until the third day of pre-race preparation.

During a physical education class, Wei Chiyan entered the locker room full of energy, but came out with his head down and depressed.

Xia Wan was originally resting in the basketball court. After seeing that Wei Chiyan was not as excited as before to tell her about the plan to defeat Shengyu, she asked, "Wei Chi, what happened?"

Wei Chiyan did not answer her, and continued to walk out as if he had lost his soul.

This feeling is very strange.

It's like a dog that always wags its tail happily when it sees you, but now suddenly tucks its tail in and walks cautiously. It's really hard to get used to it.

Xia Wan was a little worried, so she hurried over, grabbed his wrist, and asked again: "What happened?"

Wei Chiyan shook off her hand very forcefully, obviously venting his emotions.

Xia Wan's hand hit the iron railing next to her, and she groaned in pain.

Wei Chiyan was stunned, and reached out to pull Xia Wan's hand to see if she was injured.

However, Xia Wan also dodged Wei Chiyan's hand, not only not letting him see it, but also putting her hands behind her back.

Wei Chiyan lowered his eyelashes and said in a hoarse voice: "...I'm sorry."

Xia Wan reached out her other hand and patted Wei Chiyan's shoulder to comfort him, saying, "I won't forgive you if you say sorry, but if you tell me what happened, I'll consider it."

The next second, Wei Chiyan looked at her with red eyes and said: "I...I..."

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say them at all, and he looked extremely aggrieved.

Seeing him like this, Xia Wan was not nervous anymore, thinking it shouldn't be a big deal.

She found it funny again, and then she put her hand on Wei Chiyan's shoulder and coaxed him, "It's okay, just talk slowly, I'm listening."

Wei Chiyan suddenly hugged Xia Wan, buried his face in her shoulders, and said, "I was just in the dressing room and heard them say... that my basketball skills are the worst they've ever seen!"

Xia Wan reached out and patted Wei Chiyan on the back, saying, "Don't be sad, they are right."

Wei Chiyan: "???"

Wei Chiyan was still holding Xia Wan. He raised his head and looked at her in disbelief, as if he had not expected her to say such a thing.

Wei Chiyan asked: "Is my basketball skill really that bad?"

Xia Wan answered very sincerely: "It's not bad, it's terrible."

Wei Chiyan: "..."

He let go of Xia Wan's hand and took a step back, his face full of "How could you say such cruel words?"

Wei Chiyan said angrily: "You obviously didn't say that before. You said that I looked good and confident when playing basketball, and you also said that you thought I was a very outstanding and special person."

Xia Wan answered honestly: "Because we were not familiar with each other at that time."

Wei Chiyan: "?"

Xia Wan continued to stab him in the heart and said, "And I didn't lie. I praised you so much, but I never praised your ball skills."

Wei Chiyan: "???"

At that moment, he heard the sound of his own heart breaking.

Seeing that Wei Chiyan was like a deflated ball, even worse than when he just came out, Xia Wan stopped complaining about his basketball skills and said, "Wei Chi, some things may really require a little talent. Basketball may not be the best thing for you, so don't force yourself. Besides, I found something that suits you better."

Wei Chiyan asked in confusion: "What?"

Ten minutes later, he was taken to the football field by Xia Wan.

Xia Wan tried to kick the ball, but failed. She awkwardly stepped on the ball with one foot and said, "Based on my observations of you over the past few days, I've discovered that you really like to kick basketball with your feet. Why don't you try to kick a ball that you should really kick with your feet?"

After Xia Wan finished speaking, she looked at the boys on the football team next to her and said, "I'm counting on you."

Another ten minutes passed.

The captain of the football team held Wei Chiyan's hand with tears in his eyes: "Talent! This is talent! Have you really never learned football? You are a genius! You are the future rising star of the football world! Why did you come to us only now? You are really a pearl in the dust!"

Wei Chiyan was so flattered that his tail was almost flying up to the sky.

He no longer cared about the basketball team and directly made an appointment with the football team for tomorrow's training time.

Then Wei Chiyan moved back to Xia Wan's side, squatted in front of her, and said happily: "Did you hear that? They just praised me a lot. They all welcome me to the football team!"

Xia Wan smiled at him, uncapped the bottle of mineral water in her hand and passed it to him: "I knew you could do it."

Wei Chiyan was slightly stunned. He looked into Xia Wan's eyes and was a little dazed for a moment under the sunlight.

Suddenly, a strange idea came into his mind.

He hoped she would always look at him like this.

He hopes to be someone that makes her proud.

＊

Outside the football field.

Xie Ni was about to walk over to look for Xia Wan, but his steps stopped the moment he saw Wei Chiyan passing by.

The boy's face showed an obviously unhappy expression, but he felt strange the moment he realized it.

And at this moment, he felt something rubbing his calf.

Xie looked down and saw a yellow kitten rubbing against his legs. It raised its head and meowed at him twice.

It is a stray cat in the school. The classmates feed it spontaneously. It looks even fatter than Tuesday.

Xie Yan squatted down and took out a cat noodle from his pocket. There was no obvious expression on his face. He opened it and started feeding the kitten.

The kitten was eating happily, his eyes were narrowed into two slits, and he looked extremely satisfied.

Xie squatted in front of it with disgust, but suddenly felt a little annoyed.

He looked at the cat in his hand and was a little confused for a moment.

He didn’t like animals before, so whenever cats or dogs took the initiative to show their affection, he would choose to avoid them.

But now, not only did he take the initiative to raise Tuesday, but he also started carrying this thing with him, no one knew when.
