After watching the video, I went back and found that the leader had said a lot in the dorm group.
Leader: [Damn, I'm so angry! Can't anyone manage Su Ran?]
Second in command: [What happened?]
Leader: [Today there were two guys from the basketball club fighting over Su Ran again. Su Ran said she would be whoever gets first place's girlfriend. Then this message reached Shen Ci's ears. As soon as the match started, he came and went straight for the guy who owed him eight million.]
Fourth in command: [Shen Ci? Wasn't Shen Ci supposed to participate in the game with Nian Nian today?]
[......]
I closed my phone, and the next second the leader called me, sounding regretful: "Sorry Nian Nian, I just finished a part-time interview, forgot about this, I didn't mean to..."
"It's okay." I said softly, "Thank you, or else I would have thought Shen Ci had an accident."
"Nian Nian, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, when you come back, we'll go eat hot pot, my treat."
"Okay, we'll call Second and Fourth too!"
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, I turned around, and Second and Fourth were standing behind me with worried expressions.
They had come early to watch my match and cheer me on, but now they were both visibly worried.
"Nian Nian."
I stared into the sky dazedly, the last dance was over, I didn't go on stage, and the match ended to thunderous applause.
I stood here fully armed, like a joke.
When I arrived at the basketball court, the game was nearing its end, and Su Ran was shouting frantically for Shen Ci.
The next moment, a three-pointer landed, the score changed, and the whistle blew.
Everything settled.
Su Ran screamed and rushed over, throwing herself into Shen Ci's arms. Shen Ci laughed heartily, holding her tightly and spinning her around on the court.
The sunset's light shone on them, the youthful duo on the basketball court won their victory and youth.
How beautiful.
I saw Shen Ci's eyes light up when he put down Su Ran, filled with words he couldn't express.
Su Ran awkwardly looked away, showing a shy smile like a little girl, handing him a bottle of water.
Shen Ci opened and drank it, then handed it back. Without hesitation, Su Ran drank it all in one go, at that moment, Shen Ci's eyes shone as bright as the stars.
I had only seen eyes so bright the night he confessed to me.
Suddenly, I remembered countless days and nights in the dance studio, Shen Ci practicing with me over and over. He would hold me afterwards and say, "Nian Nian, we work so hard, we will surely achieve our wishes."
When I was exhausted and asked him, "Shen Ci, will we get first place? I'm so afraid, our efforts may not lead to the desired results, making our efforts meaningless."
"We will." Shen Ci told me seriously, "As long as we have tried, it's not meaningless."
Now, he stood me up, not even giving my efforts a chance to be validated, all for another girl's bet.
Lost in thought, people around him teasing, "Does Ran Ran's bet count or not?"
Su Ran glanced at Shen Ci, shrugged, "Let's call it off, what's the point of counting, the leader is already taken, in love like his eyeballs."
A smile on Shen Ci's face froze, as if he just remembered me at that moment.
He looked up, and our eyes met, but I had already turned and pulled Second and Fourth: "Let's go, let's eat hot pot, celebrate Shen Ci getting first place."
"Nian Nian..."
