Chapter 32(1/2)
"I really didn't pay attention." Ning Jiashu took one minute to digest the news and asked, "When will Eugene withdraw from the competition?"
When she returned to China, the pre-game warm-up was in full swing. Walking on the campus of California, there were posters everywhere. Ji Peifeng was fine at that time, and he didn't look like something unexpected happened.
Before she could finish her speech, the girl who looked like Twilight Girls KS in the middle of the crowd suddenly got angry. Her exaggerated expression was like a little leopard with a head injured, "You are Eugene's girlfriend, you wouldn't tell me that you don't even know about his knee injury, right?"
Speaking of which, they are not familiar with each other, Ning Jiashu still knows what the girl is angry about.
Although he is Asian, Ji Peifeng has always been very popular in school as a taller and stronger than most white people and has a foul face.
She shrugged and sorry, "We've broken up."
The girl's words were blocked in her throat before she could say anything. She stared at her and didn't know what else to say. After a while, she threw down a sentence, turned around and left.
"I really don't understand why Eugene is dating someone like you."
Indeed, Asians' figures don't look as good as theirs. Ning Jiashu went there at most once or twice in ten games. She didn't know how many honors Ji Peifeng had won, how many points he had won, how great the rebounds he had contributed were.
Ning Jiashu is almost immune to the halo in the eyes of others. When she met Ji Peifeng, she didn't know that he played basketball.
Someone stayed to apologize for Twilight Girl. Ning Jiashu waved his hand and didn't care. She just wondered, "When was Eugene injured? Was it serious?"
"Just during the knockout stage training, the cruciate ligament torn. I don't know what the situation is now. He hasn't come back to train for a long time."
"By the way, I remember you were there that day... Did you leave early?" Someone remembered.
“February 16?”
"It's probably that day."
The day of breaking up!
Oh my God, Ning Jiashu didn't expect that Ji Peifeng was injured on the day of the breakup.
She shook her head and tried to put aside the thoughts in her head.
It probably has nothing to do with her...
Looking back at the time of breaking up, Ning Jiashu didn't remember anything unusual about him.
After eating in a daze, I returned to the room. For some reason, I felt a little uneasy.
She thought of the call she received from Los Angeles some time ago, and Ning's mother told her that she had found the young man who had inconvenient legs and feet at home, and she always felt that things were out of control.
After walking around in annoyedly for a long time in front of the window, she logged into her Facebook and tried to send a private message to Ji Peifeng. The general meaning was polite greetings such as hearing the news of his injury, how was his injury okay?
As for the phone number, she changed her original mobile phone number when she returned to China, and the numbers she had stored in the past were forgotten.
Before he could receive a reply, Hochin's call came.
By time, he should have just landed.
Ning Jiashu's mood finally improved. He lay down on the window and spoke in a light tone.
"You're here."
"Well, on the way back to the hotel."
"Is the flight attendant who partnered today beautiful?"
"Not noticed."
"Then you're riding in a car anyway, you look up now."
After just passing a long flight, most of the crew members in the car were looking at their phones, or were drowsy. Huo Qin followed the words and looked up at every face in the car.
"Is it good-looking, huh?" The up-tuned ending is born with a coquettish meaning.
"It's not as good as you."
As soon as this was said, the bus driver just switched to music. In the interlude, the people in the back seat heard this sentence and looked up as incredible as he was.
Huo Qin coughed lightly, and slowly retracted his gaze and sat upright.
Ning Jiashu likes to surprise him, but Huo Qin even answers that casually suit him so much.
She held her chin and curled her lips and smiled. The night breeze in Los Angeles blew, and even the curvature of the end of her hair became lingering.
"I landed today."
"The weather is very good, you are familiar with Los Angeles Airport, and it should be very smooth."
"I guessed it right away, it's boring." Ning Jiashu curled his lips, "But how do you know that I'm familiar with this place?"
"Didn't you stay there for three months?"
Although he had broken off contact, Hechang's circle of friends always posted her status. Over the years, Hochin has become accustomed to getting news about her from others.
It is simple to block a person's circle of friends, but even Huo Qin himself knows why he has never had that kind of thought.
After the reunion, it seemed that this was the first time that the atmosphere between them was so warm and peaceful, as if the night became harmonious through the microphone.
=========================
Ning Jiashu had a good dream after a long time.
I dreamed that she was flying a small plane and was losing contact with the ground. Hochin's voice suddenly came from the frequency, telling her to fly with him.
His voice seemed to never panic, with the magic that made people calm. Ning Jiashu followed him through the storm and rain to the ground safely. The moment the frequency was cut off, she woke up.
It was a little rain outside and the wind was blowing.
Ning Jiashu got up with a blanket to close the hotel window, came back and lay on the quilt, and slept in a daze until the middle of the night. Somehow, he dreamed of breaking up with Ji Peifeng again.
In early spring, the warblers fly and grass grow, everything revives, and the sun is warm.
It is the season and weather she likes.
Ning Jiashu sat in the auditorium of the basketball court in UCLA for the last time.
The rhythm of the basketball bounces is like the pulse of the entire venue, and every time it rises into the air, it drives a huge whistle.
The core of the organization's offense, the white and blue uniform No. 12, is where Ji Peifeng is.
As the only Asian on the court, his height of 1.87 meters is not outstanding among giant teammates, but he has superhuman reaction and coordination skills, and he controls the ball stably and accurately.
Time is approaching, and another sudden fast attack is organized-
Scores only in a moment!
A cry broke out in the venue in an instant, deafening manner.
Ji Peifeng ran back, his eyes fell outside the court, and when he found her, he subconsciously smiled, which aroused a scream in the audience.
The muscle lines on a man are slender and smooth, full of strength. The most fatal thing is that he also has a handsome face that makes people dry.
But Ning Jiashu had no time to pay attention because she was going back to China and today she was going to break up.
It seemed impolite to say this on the phone, and for this reason, she took a 40-minute bus to the school.
Although it was just an ordinary team competition training, he was afraid of affecting his training status and was about to end. Ji Peifeng came to rest and Ning Jiashu proposed it.
After hearing this, the man nodded in agreement, blessed her with great grace, and asked if he needed to send her back to the hotel. He was very calm throughout the whole process.
A rich child like him who has superior conditions has a breakup etiquette and upbringing comparable to textbook level and has never lacked a girlfriend.
Ning Jiashu didn't think she would have much impact on him. When she first met her, it was exactly what attracted her.
He has an independent personality charm and will not lose himself in a relationship.
Ning Jiashu never desires to get anything from Ji Peifeng, nor does he bind anyone with the so-called love, which is exactly what he needs.
At the end of the dream, Ning Jiashu only remembered the cheers of the gymnasium getting farther and farther behind him.
She took the flight back home.
The training lasted fifteen weeks, and the relationship lasted only fifteen weeks. In Ning Jiashu's opinion, it was more like a remedy in a boring life.
It had ended in Los Angeles, and after returning to Shanghai, she had almost never recalled it once.
=========================
In fact, this memory, Ji Peifeng's version, is different from Ning Jiashu's.
Ning Jiashu said he was coming that day, so he got up two hours in advance and asked a barber to trim his hair.
At the moment when the long whistle ended in the final game, he ran straight to the sidelines without having time to rest. While he was breathing on his knees, he caught the water handed by Ning Jiashu.
"I'm awesome?"
"Yeah, awesome."
She smiled beautifully, as if she had worked so hard to play the whole game. Just when he was about to invite Ning Jiashu to wait for his training to have dinner together, he heard her speak-
"Paifeng, let's break up."
He was stunned for a few seconds before he took off the empty bottle.
"Why? Are you tired of it?"
"You know, my modification training in Los Angeles is over."
"You want to go back to China?"
Ning Jiashu nodded.
