you are all star

Chapter 115 Dreams and Stars

At the end of the game, the players, coaches and leaders of both sides shook hands and left one by one.

Although the Middle School Affiliated to Alexander University won the victory in the end, they won the first game due to the single-elimination system, which meant that they had already entered the second round, and they had to wait for more than ten days, even though this period of time was very long. It's also boring, but for Neal, and for the team coach Ryan Kawhi, during this period of time, through this almost lost game and the entire series, it can be summed up well, because the next In the second round, the opponents will be stronger, and at the same time, they will have to do more.

They also especially look forward to their performance in the second round after a long wait.

After the game, Neil’s reputation in this high school became even higher. Many people were crazy about him, proud of him, and regarded him as a hero and an idol. Because it wasn’t for him, they might have stopped in the first round. .

However, Neil will divide these remarks from the outside world into two parts. The outside world recognizes him very well, and the story is a good thing, but basketball is not a sport that is praised, but played by strength.

On the night after the game, after dinner, Neil was stopped by Lavender.

Neil looked at her with very surprised eyes, as if he had something on his mind, Neil hurriedly asked, "Lanyi, what happened to you all of a sudden?"

"Neil, there is one thing that I don't know if I should tell you."

"You said."

"I...I want you to accompany me to look at the stars, because there are a few boys in my class who are always annoying me recently."

"But I still have to train, can it be another day?" Neil replied a little bit out of place.

In fact, Lavender is really tired from seeing him during this time, and wants him to relax and rest. After all, dreams don't happen overnight, and there is still a long, long way to go.

Lavender was silent for a moment, pouting her lips, and replied to Neil a little domineeringly and coquettishly: "No, I want you to accompany me to the mountain over there today, and let's go see the stars together."

"Lanyi, it's dark now, and the security guards forbid entry and exit. I don't agree to go to the mountain over there, because you're a girl, so it's not safe."

"But I really want to see the stars."

"Then I'll go to the football field, okay?"

After hearing this, Lavender jumped up with a smile all over her face, stared at Neil and said, "Okay, okay!"

Seeing her smiling, Neil was very innocent, like a little girl who couldn't grow up. Neil shook his head speechlessly and smiled slightly.

Then, Neil and Lavender looked at each other, stood up side by side, and walked out of the cafeteria under the envious eyes of everyone.

When Neil and Lavender walked to a small passage with few people, Neil was still very conflicted in his mind, should he continue training tonight?

After struggling for a while, he still thought that although the dream didn't happen overnight, it was valuable to persevere. Moreover, in many aspects, he was still so poor that he was not as good as a human being. When I met him once, I still can’t look blank and still make the same mistake. Therefore, I can’t indulge myself. I have to insist. My family has spent so much money to send me to this high school. If I graduate three years after high school At that time, I was unable to win the national youth basketball championship. Then, I guess after graduating from high school, I am afraid that I will not know where to go to university. I am afraid that New York, which I have always envied, may be ruined. But such a small request from Lavender , I should promise her. After all, she has done a lot for me. When I was most helpless and lost, she still accompanied me to train as always. Sometimes she watched my sweat drop one by one. , and never gave up, she also ran with me for the sake of me feeling better. Now I can’t ignore her because of my dream or basketball.

But what should I do now?Why don't you watch the stars with her?Obviously she would think I was a disappointment, would be angry, and watch the stars with her?The special training every night will also be terminated. I am growing my body quickly. If I don’t do stretching exercises and touch heights, my bones will temporarily stop. This is what my teacher told me before. What should I do?
Neil and Lavender walked forward slowly, thinking about what he should do when faced with such a difficult decision. In the end, he came up with a relatively neutral idea, but he didn't know if Lavender would agree, so he tried it out. Sex, asked in a negotiating tone: "Lavender, let's look at the stars after training, okay?"

Lavender turned her head in surprise, and glanced at him: "Ah... you won't go back on your word again, will you?"

"I'm not repenting, I promised to accompany you, of course I will. It's just that I heard from my parents before that when it was dark just now, the stars were not clear, and the brightest ones could not be seen. The stars will be brighter and more beautiful when it is later. " Neil cleverly found such an excuse to comfort Lavender's heart.

Lavender, while listening to Neil's words, looked up at the sky, as if it was the same thing, indeed the stars are not so bright at the moment, you have to widen your eyes to see them.

But thinking that Neil had just competed this afternoon, and he would go through such a tough special training right now, he would be exhausted, so he stared at Neil, smiled, and asked tentatively: " Neil, you don't want to train, so you're using this excuse to fool me, right?"

Neil scratched his head and smiled back: "Lavender, how could I? If you don't believe me, take a look at the star right now, and then remember how bright it is. You can compare it after I finish training later. Let’s see when it’s brighter, don’t you have it?”

"Okay, let's trust you tonight, but you are too tired today, you just finished the game in the afternoon, and now you have such a strong special training, I want to run and exercise with you, I also want to have a Good figure." Lavender glanced at Neil and said with concern.

"But you can do it?"

"My girl, I beat you in basketball before, don't underestimate me!" Lavender said advocating herself.

"Tch... I guess, what happened at the graduation party is enough for you to blow it up for the rest of your life, and be careful to blow all the stars down in a while!" Neil smiled and despised Lavender humorously.

"Neil, wait for me, I will definitely impress you tonight, remember how amazing this girl is." Seeing that Neil despised her and underestimated her, Lavender quickly took a few steps forward, turned her head to stare at her. speak.

"Okay, I'll wait..."

Neil's voice was still echoing in the air around Xiaojing, Lavender was already innocent and extremely happy, with a happy smile on his face, he ignored Neil and ran towards the playground.

Neil looked at the back of Lavender, and it was still the most familiar way of matching in the past. Jeans, a shirt and a coat, running, lively, looking very lively and cheerful, without any external restraints, she is not like this era There is no such racism and racial prejudice as other white students. Perhaps, this is the reason why I and I can become good friends?
After running for quite a while, Lavender saw that Neil was still standing there, staring at her, so she hurriedly smiled and asked, "Neil, what's the matter?"

"No……"

"Then what are you still doing?"

"I think you are so cute and graceful when you are alive and kicking, without any worries."

"You mean, you're attracted to me?" Lavender blushed slightly, but she couldn't see clearly under the dim light.

"Yes, attracted to you."

"Then why don't you come and catch up with me?" Lavender stared at Neil provocatively and asked.

"Okay, then run slowly, I'll come after you."

"No, I have to run faster." Lavender turned her head while taking steps.

"Slow down, I will let you, be careful not to fall."

"OK……"

Neil saw Lavender flapping her wings like a little angel and began to fly. He also looked up at the stars and whispered, "Thank you lovely stars, you let me choose friends and dreams. .”

The words were still spreading and echoing in the air, and Neil saw that Lavender had disappeared around the corner of Xiaojing, so he hurriedly took a quick step and ran away.

Lavender ran for a while, turned her head and looked back, and saw that Neil was desperately chasing, and she was also very careful to run desperately to prevent Neil from catching up.

The stars in the night sky were not too bright. Looking at the two little people running under the night sky, they suddenly became brighter. Staring at their fast-moving figures, they blinked and shone like fireflies.
