Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

When Chen Jianji arrived at the basketball court.

A large number of people have already gathered here.

Different teams are training.

This basketball game has been going on for quite some time now.

In the early stages, the teams compete against each other, and the winning teams continue to fight against each other.

There were originally ten teams in the entire senior year, but in the end, only this one team was able to participate in the finals.

Chen Jianji walked onto one of the courts.

Looking at the players cobbled together from each class, including many new faces, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

As students enter their final year of high school, many find themselves lacking energy or physical stamina due to academic pressure and the pressure of the college entrance examination, and thus gradually shift their focus to studying.

They may either withdraw directly, or become a substitute player like Chen Jianji, who will need to play again.

Just then, the physical education teacher who was training the players seemed to sense someone approaching.

He turned his head and saw the person who had come, and couldn't help but laugh sarcastically.

"Oh, the busy man is here."

This is the physical education teacher, Li Junquan.

Because his classes are often taken over by other subject teachers, he is frequently criticized by students for not being assertive enough.

But since there's not much teaching pressure, he's quite approachable and easily gets along with students.

"Old Li, stop laughing at me, I'm here now, aren't I?"

Chen Jianji gave a helpless wry smile and casually unpacked his backpack, placing it under the support frame of the basketball hoop.

They seemed to have heard the commotion over here.

The players who were training stopped.

Wang Li, the class's sports representative, smiled when he saw Chen Jianji while holding a ball.

"Brother Ji, you actually came."

"I thought you were trying to squeeze in time to pick up girls, and that you were even giving up your favorite sport, basketball."

"When I told Lao Li you were coming, he didn't believe me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianji scratched his head.

It seems that I had previously tried to spend more time getting closer to Lin Qingxue.

I also gave up a lot of things.

For example, my hobbies, and some friends.

There are too many things I've missed in the past.

For example, playing one last friendly match before graduation.

Adding a touch of youthful memories to one's high school years seems like a good idea.

At this moment, Wang Li told the players to take a rest.

"Everyone else, take a break and have some water."

"Hey bro, how about we play a game first? Let's see if your skills have gotten rusty."

He spoke without waiting for Chen Jianji's reply.

A powerful direct pass.

Bang!

Chen Jianji reached out and firmly grasped the ball, responding with a smile.

"OK."

He stretched his ankles before going onto the field.

The other team members walked off the field and stood aside to watch the one-on-one match.

Chen Jianji stood outside the three-point line, dribbling the basketball repeatedly.

The familiar feeling gradually returned.

He bent slightly, shifting left and right as if looking for a breakthrough.

But Wang Li, as expected of the sports committee member, kept a tight rein on things.

Finally, Chen Jianji suddenly noticed an opening and was about to quickly dribble forward.

A sudden pain shot through my calf.

Snapped!

After Wang Li intercepted the ball from his hand, he quickly ran out of the three-point line and made a beautiful shot.

It's in!

"Hey, you should wear your basketball jersey and shorts when you play basketball. These school uniform pants are dragging on the ground and they'll get stuck on your heels. Maybe you should pull them up a bit."

Chen Jianji squatted down and rubbed his injured calf. He frowned for a moment, then stood up and shook his head.

"It's alright, I'm just a bit rusty and made some mistakes. Let's try again!"

"Okay, that doesn't count, let's do it again."

Bang!

Chen Jianji caught the ball again, took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually sharpened.

......

After half an hour.

Wang Li lay on the ground, panting heavily.

"No, no, I give up, I give up. You can be the captain, you train them."

Chan Kin-kei's breathing was a little rapid, but he still looked energetic.

"I'm not interested in being a captain, but I'm fine with training."

Just as he was about to call the other team members to continue practicing.

Someone suddenly shouted.

"Brother Ji, it looks like someone's looking for you over there."

Chen Jianji turned his head and looked.

A chubby figure waved vigorously in this direction from the side of the field.

It's Liu Yun!

He paused for a moment. It was the weekend, and she wanted to see him for something?

Based on Chen Jianji's understanding of her.

She's basically either in her dorm or in the classroom.

But whenever they go out, they usually go with Lin Qingxue.

Chen Jianji glanced around briefly.

Sure enough, not far away, Lin Qingxue and Li Wenyan were talking about something by the playground.

The former seemed to remain silent, while the latter seemed to be gesturing excitedly and saying something.

Chen Jianji looked away and tossed the ball to the other players.

"You guys practice first, I'll go take a look."

As he spoke, he walked to the edge of the court and came to Liu Yun.

"What do you want from me?"

Liu Yun pursed her lips.

"Qingxue said she wanted to go for a walk, so I went with her."

"I just didn't know what Li Wenyan wanted to say to her, so I waited here for a bit and then I saw you playing ball."

Chen Jianji didn't react much, just assuming she wanted to talk about Lin Qingxue and give him a chance.

After all, he had bribed Liu Yun with a lot of snacks before.

He just wanted her to report to him where Lin Qingxue was when she was free, so he could try to improve his relationship with her.

Chen Jianji wiped the sweat from his forehead and said casually.

"You don't need to tell me about her anymore."

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to training."

As he was saying this, he was about to leave.

Liu Yun then pointed to his calf.

"Didn't you injure your leg? How come you don't feel any pain when you fly around playing ball?"

"Can the teacher let you play?"

Chen Jianji paused for a moment.

When he applied the medicine, evening self-study hadn't started yet, and no one in the class noticed.

Only a handful of people know about it.

"It's nothing serious, just a scratch."

Chen Jianji looked at her and suddenly laughed.

"Liu Yun, please keep this a secret for me. Don't tell the teacher. Let me finish this last match."

"This...isn't that a bad idea? What if something happens?"

Liu Yun hesitated.

"Two packs of shrimp and egg stir-fry!"

"I want three guarantees!"

"make a deal!"

Chen Jianji looked at Liu Yun, whose face was all scrunched up with laughter, and twitched the corners of his mouth.

"Alright, shut up, I'm going to play ball."

Just as he finished speaking and was about to turn and leave...

Suddenly, physical education teacher Li Junquan walked towards Chen Jianji.

There were two other people following behind him.

Lin Qingxue, Li Wenyan.

"Gianki, we have enough members in the team, but there are still vacancies for substitutes."

"Li Wenyan wants to join. Wang Li said, 'You're the team leader now, so come and test him. If he's okay, we can join together.'"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianji paused in his breath.

He didn't agree to be the team leader just now.

Clearly, Wang Li knew about the entanglement between him and Lin Qingxue, and thus put him in charge of making this choice.

Chen Jianji looked past Teacher Li and at the thin, bespectacled Li Wenyan.

This person is frail and seems like he would collapse at the slightest touch.

Want to play basketball where there's a lot of intense contact?

What evil deed is he planning to do in retaliation?

Chen Jianji withdrew his gaze and said calmly.

"No need to test him, he's not suitable, his physical fitness can't keep up."

Seeing this, Teacher Li nodded. In fact, he thought the same thing based on Li Wenyan's physique.

He wasn't familiar with this classmate, and perhaps he would be pleasantly surprised, so he asked.

"In that case..."

Before Li Junquan could finish speaking...

Lin Qingxue, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up.

"I think it's a good idea."

......
