The breeze is clear and the clouds are light, wild lilies are scattered on the mountain top at dusk. Who can become a cassia tree under the moonlight and escape the thoughts of every night?
"Jing Jing, go back and rest, you've been tired all day."
The voice was soft and beautiful, the speaker was a gentle and sensitive young woman. The thin silver nightgown couldn't hide her crazy figure, but the angular face showed that the owner was a clever woman. Only when looking at this bewildered girl staring at the sky would she reveal the gentleness unique to mothers.
"Ying Jie, does every star in the sky represent a person?" The girl known as Jing Jing said sorrowfully, as if she had lost something in the sky.
Enchanting body paired with a pure and hesitant expression, really moves men's hearts. The two women standing together are like two twinkling stars fallen from the sky.
"Jing Jing, do you know that you've changed a lot?"
"Is it? Maybe, but aren't people always changing?"
Jingjing also found that she had changed a lot. In the eyes of some people, her previous self might have been considered a bit tacky, but now she was a youthful idol in the eyes of many. However, she wasn't as happy as she used to be.
"You may not have realized it yourself, but I remember the first time I saw you, I just thought your dance was great and overall conditions were very good. To be honest, at that time, I didn't have any better feelings for you, purely thinking that you were suitable for this film, but soon after, you moved me."
Guo Ying lovingly stroked the girl's hair, looking at her as if she saw her former self, like a sister, a mother and daughter, or friends, very intimate, very kindred.
"Is it? Being able to know Older Sister Ying is my greatest fortune, hehe, fortunately Older Sister Ying didn't abandon me!"
The melancholic girl finally had a hint of smile, perhaps this smile was also the real reason why she became popular in a short time. Think about which man can resist the temptation of a beauty with devilish figure, sensitive and beautiful face, yet exuding an air of melancholy and confusion from within?
"Little girl, who is that person in your heart? I really want to meet him, he can make our Jingjing infatuated like this, haha, this guy will definitely be killed by your fans."
Upon hearing this, Jingjing felt even more bewildered. She couldn't recall that strange feeling, but she was certain it was a man. Everything changed after that, including herself. She was lucky enough to be selected by the production team and landed a small role, possibly due to her outstanding performance. She was then discovered by Hong Kong's Starry Night Entertainment Company and rose to fame with the youth idol drama "Blooming Flowers". Her popularity soared in East Asia, Japan, and Korea, even boosting the momentum of Chinese TV dramas. The name Li Jingjing naturally became a household name.
It seems that all the goals I had before the age of 18 have been achieved, with a luxurious house, fame, and good fortune to have met Guo Ying, so that in the complex entertainment circle, I can swim like a fish and be invincible.
But deep down, she was always searching for a secret that she couldn't quite recall. She had also begun to notice strange changes in her body - her skin was becoming increasingly delicate, achieving an effect she had previously struggled to attain no matter how hard she tried. Her spirit was improving, allowing her to handle the high workload of filming movies. Sometimes, she would even catch glimpses of strange phenomena, but for some reason, she didn't feel shocked or afraid, just curious. Perhaps it was this calm demeanor that gave her an extraordinary aura, one that was rarely seen in ordinary actors.
Guo Ying knew she had misspoken, usually Crystal was radiant and carefree, but every time it came to this, she liked to sit alone on the balcony, gazing at the starry sky. It was like that in Yanjing, and still like that after coming to Hong Kong. The starry sky in Hong Kong was clearer than in Yanjing, with 40% of its natural areas protected, which only made Crystal more enchanted, often sitting motionless for over an hour.
"Hehe, Jingjing, come to think of it, you should thank me instead. If I hadn't advised you to change your name, you wouldn't have become famous so quickly!" Guo Ying hastily changed the subject.
"Of course, Ying Jie is the most powerful."
"That's right, like Jackie Chan, his stage name has more momentum. And then there's Star Master, I remember he used to be called Chow Sing Sing, haha, but unfortunately, his luck wasn't good, and after changing to Star Cheung, he really took off! Our Jingjing is also shining brightly now." Guo Ying smiled and pulled the girl beside her up.
"Alright, go back and rest now. In a few days we'll be going to Shanghai for a concert, hehe, there are many handsome guys in Shanghai and the fans are very enthusiastic too!"
Jingjing smiled faintly and obediently walked into the room, but not before taking a last glance at the vast and starry night sky, wondering if it was as profound as her own heart...
Basketball Club President's Office.
Xu Quan was leisurely looking at the list of community members, his happy mouth almost smiled crookedly. After searching everywhere, he finally found it without any effort.
It's hard not to feel this way, with several guys in there who really do look like they're from a different era, model-like, and nowadays female college students are also very fond of good-looking guys, idol stars are far away, but these few are all local stars, who knows when they'll suddenly take off, the basketball club that girls used to pay relatively little attention to has suddenly become popular, tsk tsk, thinking back to when it was hard to get someone to be in charge and it ended up being a Jurassic-era creature, of course still have to thank them for being willing to come, but now things are different, looking at the long list of registration forms, one by one beautiful young photos, this club president is feeling satisfied for the first time.
Just then the phone rang, directly interrupting the president's self-indulgence. Although the basketball club is also a large club, it is still small compared to the women's swimming and gymnastics clubs. The president's office is very ordinary, not luxurious at all, let alone having a dedicated assistant. Even though Akira is the vice-president, he is not the one who answers the phone.
"Hello, this is the basketball club." Although interrupted, but recently the mood has been really good.
"Hello, is this Xu Quan? I'm Songdao Yuzi."
Xu Quan's good mood immediately dissipated. "Hehe, what's wrong, Matsumoto classmate? What brings you to find me?"
"It's like this, our women's team is short of a player, you also know that girls' physical strength is not good, so I want to borrow someone from your basketball club, don't know if President Xu can help with this."
Sweat, Xu Quan is now a big head, just sent away Yu Xia, and brought in another Matsumoto Tamako, front wolf back tiger, forget it, good men don't fight with women, anyway, a knife on the word "endurance".
"On the other end of the phone, he seemed to think that there was no response for a long time, and then said: 'Director Xu, does this matter make you very embarrassed?'"
"Cough cough, never mind, I'm thinking of lending him to you. Che Fei is quite good-looking, known as the number one handsome guy in our school, and I've heard he's very talented too, how about it?"
Xu Quan's heart was clear, Che Fei is now one of the most promising players, but he knew that Song Dao Yu Zi wasn't someone to be trifled with. Since he called over, he must have wanted the best.
"Thanks Xu Quan, but we only need a practice partner, it's not about choosing a handsome guy, I don't want to be killed by his fans."
Matsushima Taeko's voice is still so gentle, just like her person, calm as a lake.
Xu Quan was quickly confused by her, sometimes calling him "President", sometimes "classmate", and then left and right "Jun" one after another, a string of changing titles, which was really enough to give him a headache.
"Ah, then who do you want? As long as it's our school basketball team, I'll take charge!" Xu Quan now only thought of solving the problem as soon as possible, and it was better to stay away from such a troublesome person.
"Yè Kuì!"
Xu Quan's face suddenly had three black lines, and he felt dizzy. How strange, this year the beauties' tastes have changed, why are they all looking for him? Ah, the swimming club has already taken up some time, now it's going to be squeezed again.
"Director Xu, you won't be biased against our women's rugby team, will you?"
"Cough, no way, I'll let her go report it." Xu Quan couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead, because some things were beyond the control of ordinary humans like him, and he also had to be controlled by others when it came to the club's expenses. No choice, a person under another's roof has no choice but to bow their head.
"Then thank you very much. This year our school's club expenses will be given to your basketball club, so if you want to play a good game, the expenses will also be quite high."
The call ended, and Matsumoto Tamako's mood was not much better than Xu Quan's. She had gradually felt the change in herself, hinted at by the repeated appearances in her dreams. From an intuitive emotional perspective, she had already begun to lean towards him. If this continued, it wouldn't be long before she completely fell into his trap. However, her plan for revenge was still incomplete, and the only way out was...
Just like some seniors in the law department said, for this kind of dull but unavoidable thing, there are only two choices: either you like it and get into it, or you thoroughly memorize it by rote.
The problem is that rote memorization is also a painful thing, and can only find some fun in it. Teaching is absolutely an art, maybe the teacher's own level is very high, but when teaching, the technique is not enough, the effect will be greatly discounted. No wonder they say there are no top teachers, only top students.
Now the classmates in the class are all familiar, although some girls' names still don't match up, but walking around the campus won't be unrecognizable. The ones that are more familiar are Lü Ling'er and that genius little girl. I have always been skeptical of these accelerated students, although their IQ is very high, they haven't reached the emotional intelligence of university students, especially this little girl. However, looking at her now walking with Mǒzi (a nickname), she's actually quite happy, and Mǒzi has been living a carefree life recently.
Is he going to carry out the Light Source Plan?
Anyway, I'm used to it, maybe I've already taken it for granted. Now I still sit at the same table as Lü Ling'er. Anyway, she doesn't have any interest in me, and I don't have that kind of interest in her either. Rather than deliberately avoiding each other and causing awkwardness, it's better to face each other calmly. After all, everyone knows that I'm very "familiar" with the beautiful Xue Cai.
Class breaks are always the most lively, young people always yearn for communication, university life is wonderful and boring, hot blood has nowhere to vent, either sent to the library or computer room and beauties.
"Ye Ruo, your ball is played so well! In the future, you must bring us brothers, I didn't expect our strength to be so strong." A group of people immediately surrounded me.
"Duan Shi, Lao He, Zuo You Zhang are all good too, they're all top-notch, I'm not jealous, why can the four of you be in the same dorm!"
When they heard the words "high hand" from someone else's mouth, Duan Shi and Zuo Youzhang couldn't help but laugh happily. Lao He was a little shy with a silly smile, he wasn't used to others' praise, and it was also the first time he realized that his unusually tall stature had come in handy. In high school, playing basketball was good, but not as good as scoring one point on an exam.
"There's a kind of inevitable connection between handsome guys, just like the mysterious attraction between stars. Don't be jealous!" Zuo Youzhang suddenly pulled out his small fan from who-knows-where and began fanning himself with a whooshing sound.
As soon as Zuo's voice came out, the people around him were shocked and dissatisfied. Not only the men but also the women wanted to protest. Even Lü Ling'er beside him looked painful and said, "Zuo Yuzhang, can you please speak directly next time? This is too complicated, everyone is getting tired of it!"
"It's just, what kind of mysterious attraction is that? It's gravity!" The girls around her shot out their tongues, but unfortunately they underestimated Xiao Zuo's abilities. Her face was absolutely thicker than the Great Wall and more durable than it.
Zuo Yu Zhang's expression remained unchanged as he looked at the crowd of women, "One must have a sense of propriety, this is the fundamental difference between humans and animals, why be so stubborn?"
This time, without waiting for the female compatriots to criticize him, the vast number of male animals directly knocked him out with brute force, which was also the only way to deal with him.
"Ye Ruo, you guys are so good at basketball, it shouldn't be a problem for you to teach us when you have time, right?" The speaker was Feng Yuqiong, the most intimate friend of Lü Ling'er, an extremely cheerful girl who was also our class life committee member. Her lively and energetic personality had almost immediately made everyone in the class familiar with her.
"Ah, of course, no problem at all! The beauty's request is our handsome guy's sacred decree. I'm willing to exhaust myself to the fullest!" Suddenly, the left hand didn't know when it started struggling again and slipped out, but was immediately suppressed again.
Shuai Ge Duan naturally couldn't give up such a good opportunity, and smiled: "Ye Rui's skills may look good, but they're not practical for normal people. You beauties want to learn? Better follow us and learn the authentic elegant shooting style."
This guy is really shameless, he's actually stepping on me to climb up!
He shot me a sharp glance, but then looked away without saying anything. This kid is going to get himself into trouble one of these days... never mind, I'd probably just end up getting yelled at by him and his gang anyway.
Seeing me compromise, Duan Shi also smiled with satisfaction, but the beauties were not satisfied with this answer. They didn't need to do it themselves, but they liked watching others do it. As for the rest, it was just a lively scene. Even in the NBA, fierce dunks are rarely done, let alone by a group of lovely young girls.
"Ye Kuai, how about you? Our class has quite a few of your fans, some people don't say it out loud, but if you don't agree with us, we'll be disappointed!" Feng Yueqiong said with a sly smile at Lü Ling'er.
Lü Ling'er couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and she pinched her hand hard under the table. That day, she also went to the basketball club, but she didn't expect that someone who was usually so dull would suddenly become so handsome on the court. The kind of air that ignored everything and moved freely had deeply moved her, even if it was her favorite Che Fei, whose sharpness was overshadowed by his dazzling performance. But now he looked like that again, not taking class seriously, being lazy... she felt a little dizzy.
Look at Lü Ling'er's shy appearance, and the people around her immediately started teasing. Actually, many times there was nothing wrong, but when more people said it, it easily became a problem. I was hesitating about how to respond, playing together with everyone was no big deal, but teaching them would be a problem. After all, we had to consider Ru'er and the others, and also let the opportunity to chase beautiful girls go to the older generation... as they often taught me - being a person should be magnanimous!
"Cough, cough, Ye Lui is a busy person, he's the focus of the basketball club and also the water polo coach for the women's swimming club, it's very busy!" Zuo Youzhang and Duan Shikou said with a smile, bringing up the matter of the women's swimming club, the guys all showed a look of envy, if the beauty from our class wasn't nearby they would definitely tease me.
"Is that so? I wonder if it were Xue Cai, would our Ye Lei have time for her?" Feng Yueqiong retorted, unwilling to back down.
Sweat, what a fierce woman! Xue Ya is also fierce, but she always speaks in a gentle and reserved manner, with her sharpness hidden inside. However, this Feng Mei is more direct. Whatever Xue Ya and the others want me to do is fine, but our relationship isn't like they imagine it to be. Yet I couldn't say that.
"There's no way what Duan Shi said is that exaggerated, having a class activity is definitely not a problem, it's just that I'm not very good at teaching, let's have Duan Shi and Zuo You Zhang do it instead!"
Feng Yuqiong didn't intend to let me off so easily, fortunately the class bell rang, and this matter had to be temporarily put on hold. "Alright then, since our class doesn't have any classes this afternoon, let's all go exercise together."
Others certainly agree, what's the point of mixed basketball, and my small vote naturally has no right to oppose.
But can I go this afternoon?
I have a feeling something is going to happen this afternoon...
