Chapter 158: Dreams Become Reality
A few days later, the National University Basketball League semi-finals were held at the Longcheng University Gymnasium in Longcheng.
Shen Ci only had two tickets, so she asked Gu Lianxing and Pili who wanted to go when all three were in the dormitory.
Gu Lianxing refused without thinking because she really had no interest in basketball.
Pili was still interested. Seeing that Gu Lianxing didn't go, she took the ticket from Shen Ci and expressed her willingness to go and see the excitement.
This day, the sun was fierce. Shen Ci bought two cups of iced drinks outside the gymnasium and found the corresponding ticket gate with Pili to enter the venue.
There were many spectators watching the game, no less than a small concert, but the difference was that boys clearly accounted for more. Shen Ci and Pili, two beauties, were inevitably eye-catching in the crowd.
Bold boys ran over to ask for WeChat, and Shen Ci politely declined with a smile.
Pili looked at the face completely. If one looked good, she would add it. In Lianxing's words, "It's idle anyway, it's okay to use it to relieve boredom."
"Shen Ci, here!"
As soon as the two arrived at the entrance, they saw Shao Yu jumping and waving at her. Shen Ci saw this and waved back with a smile, pulling Pili to greet him quickly.
"You are here too. Qu Yang didn't say, if I knew, we would have come together."
Near, Shen Ci greeted Shao Yu naturally.
Shao Yu grinned and explained: "I definitely have to come to see my brother's game. This beauty is not your roommate before, a new friend?"
As he spoke, he looked at Pili and introduced himself: "Hello, Department of Physical Education, University of Science and Technology, Shao Yu."
Pili nodded gently, and Shen Ci helped her answer: "This is also from our dormitory, beautiful, right? Her name is Pili."
"Huo! This name is domineering enough." Shao Yu's eyes lit up, as if he suddenly understood where Pili's unique temperament came from.
She stood there like a model, faintly revealing a powerful aura.
Several people chatted while entering the venue. The seats were a bit crowded.
The electronic scoreboard on the field had marked the two camps today.
"Longcheng University of Science and Technology" VS "Sanchuan Sports University"
The winning team enters the finals and competes for the championship and runner-up with the winning team of the other semi-final, while the two losing teams in the semi-finals will also play an extra game to compete for the third and fourth place.
"This competition is the most authoritative school-level league in the country, once every two years, and has sent many basketball players to major clubs in the country." Shao Yu introduced to the two.
Shen Ci nodded and admitted frankly: "We don't understand the rules of basketball, but we can understand scoring."
Shao Yu smiled and said meaningfully: "Qu Yang must be happy that you can come. I hope he can play stably, and it would be even better if he plays extraordinarily!"
Time was almost up. The basketball team members suddenly entered the venue in a line from the lounge passage, and the scene suddenly erupted in a burst of enthusiastic cheers.
Many students from the University of Science and Technology came to cheer for their school.
Although it was not in the gymnasium of the University of Science and Technology, compared to the "Sanchuan Sports University" that came from afar, the Longcheng University of Science and Technology also occupied three points of home advantage.
Qu Yang was particularly eye-catching in the team. Seeing him come out, Shao Yu and Shen Ci stood up and cheered his name loudly.
Pili was much more introverted, but she also sat in her seat and applauded. After all, she had fought in boxing matches, and she knew that the audience's reaction would more or less affect and stimulate the players.
Qu Yang locked onto Shen Ci's position for the first time. Seeing her come and cheering for him loudly, Qu Yang smiled and waved to their position.
After some routine processes, the players of both sides shook hands friendly, and the game began!
It was a game, and the scene would naturally be filled with a tense atmosphere. As Shen Ci said, even if she didn't understand the rules, she knew which side scored. As long as the University of Science and Technology scored, she would stand up with Shao Yu and other students to cheer and boost morale.
Slowly, even Pili integrated into it, from sitting and applauding to standing up and cheering.
If it was Qu Yang who scored, their voices would become louder, and they would shout Qu Yang's name directly.
Qu Yang on the basketball court also changed his steady and steady personality on weekdays. Every time he scored, he would raise his arms and shout, high-five with teammates, bump fists, and even jump up to hit shoulders to celebrate.
In short, it was some confusing behaviors that boys thought were very handsome.
The score was always very tight, but in the end, "Longcheng University of Science and Technology" narrowly won "Sanchuan Sports University" by a small gap of three points. The moment the whistle ended the game, the whole field was flying with ribbons, and the cheers were deafening.
Shen Ci was fully engaged, watching with enthusiasm. When her eyes met Qu Yang's across the air, she didn't hesitate to give him a high thumbs up.
At that moment, the smile on Qu Yang's face was unprecedentedly bright. He nodded and waved to Shen Ci with starlight in his eyes. This scene was the scene he had dreamed of countless times in his dreams.
Now, it finally shone into reality!
After the game, Shao Yu told Shen Ci: "Qu Yang said to wait for him at the east exit of the gymnasium, he has something to tell you."
When saying this, Shao Yu changed his usual giggling expression and was actually a bit solemn.
Shen Ci knew Qu Yang had something to tell her, but looking at Shao Yu's face at this time, she couldn't help but feel strange.
Is it something bad?
"Your expression makes me feel a bit panicked," Shen Ci smiled reluctantly and asked hesitantly: "Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
Shao Yu smiled even more reluctantly: "How to say, I think it's a good thing for him."
Shen Ci felt relieved upon hearing this and breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, it's a good thing."
Shao Yu opened his mouth to speak but stopped. But in the end, he swallowed his words. Qu Yang had his own ideas, and he couldn't talk more.
Arriving at the agreed place, Pili accompanied Shen Ci to wait for a while before seeing Qu Yang running over with a bag on his back.
Seeing this, Pili took the initiative to say: "Then I'll go to the other side of the road and wait for you."
Shen Ci nodded.
When Qu Yang arrived, Shen Ci smiled and congratulated him face-to-face: "Congratulations on winning the game. It's the finals later. I hope you can win the championship."
Qu Yang also had joy on his face, obviously the victory of the game and Shen Ci's arrival made him happy from the heart.
"So what is the matter?" Shen Ci thought of Shao Yu's reaction and couldn't help but feel a bit nervous, but she asked easily at this time, not wanting to make the atmosphere too tense.
Qu Yang looked at Shen Ci, but didn't hesitate too much, because he had already made a decision in his heart.
"Shen Ci, I'm leaving."
Shen Ci was shocked: "Leaving? Where to?"
Qu Yang explained: "I was selected by the national team and am going to the youth team, so I applied for suspension of school. Maybe when I come back to finish my studies later, you have already graduated."
Shen Ci was a bit stunned at first, but then smiled: "That's a good thing. Being able to enter the national team must be your professional ideal. Congratulations!" ===== CHAPTER 159 =====
