"Nian Nian, it's your turn soon. Has Shen Ci arrived yet?"

I held my phone anxiously, constantly looking towards the entrance, but Shen Ci was still nowhere to be seen.

"He said he would definitely come."

"But it's your turn next..."

Xiao Yu hesitated to speak, then stopped. "Nian Nian, even if he comes now, there won't be enough time for him to change clothes and put on makeup."

In other words, this competition that I prepared for half a year was easily eliminated.

I lowered my eyelashes, and on my phone, our chat interface was still frozen from last night.

He said, "Nian Nian, don't worry, we will definitely win first place together! Then we can go to the United States to study together and meet your favorite idol!"

He clearly knew how important this competition was to me.

Suddenly, my phone rang, and my roommate sent me a video.

I opened it and watched.

In the basketball court, Shen Ci was sweating profusely, moving left and right, and made a perfect shot. Then he turned his head towards the camera and happily made a victory sign.

A scream came from the video, "Shen Ci, you're so handsome!"

Shen Ci raised an eyebrow and gave her a satisfied smile.

A chill ran through my heart, and my fingertips trembled.

I remembered two days ago when Su Ran rushed over and patted Shen Ci's shoulder while we were taking a walk. She said, "The basketball game the day after tomorrow, remember to bring glory to our club!"

Shen Ci hesitated for a moment, subconsciously looked at me, and then said, "Sorry, the day after tomorrow I will participate in the competition with my girlfriend."

Su Ran jumped up and hooked her arm around his neck, forcing him to bend down, and patted his head, saying, "You forget your loyalty when you see beauty."

I was caught off guard and bumped into her, falling to the side.

Shen Ci's face turned cold. "Let go, that competition is very important to Nian Nian! I must accompany her!"

"So, our competition isn't important anymore? Clearly, you said you would secure the first place for our basketball club!"

Su Ran's words carried some discontent and a hint of pleading. "Shen Ci, you promised me."

Shen Ci hesitated for a moment, but ultimately coldly refused, "Sorry."

Su Ran glared at him, turned around, and with a teary voice, shouted, "Shen Ci, don't regret it!"

Then she left.

Shen Ci stood there for a long time, looking at her back. He was so absorbed in it that he didn't even notice when I stood up or the scraped palms of my hands.

After some thought, Shen Ci really did love his club. He had said more than once, "Make it big and strong, and strive for glory."

Unfortunately, it coincided with my competition.

So I walked over to apologize, "Shen Ci, I..."

"Stop!" Shen Ci suddenly shouted in frustration, "I already promised to accompany you in the competition. What else do you want?"

I was stunned by his outburst and looked at his eyebrows and eyes, whispering, "I just wanted to thank you. After all, my competition is really important to our future."

I emphasized the words "our future."

Shen Ci seemed to realize only then, hastily grabbing me and remorsefully saying, "I'm sorry, Nian Nian. I didn't mean to yell at you. I'm just a bit irritated. Damn it, why do these two damn competitions have to be on the same day?"

This was the first time I heard him curse. He continued to hold me and complain about many things, and I didn't say a word, just silently leaned my head on his shoulder and listened to him vent.

In the end, he stood me up and went to the basketball game that Su Ran had longed for.
