Chapter 71 Arrival of Parents

Neal didn't go to the gym to practice again that night, he practiced in the gym and waited for Neal's teammates to see that he hadn't come for a long time. During the time he and Lavender were out, they tried to go out for dinner, and then casually I looked at them, but I still didn't see a single person, so I continued to come back to practice, but after they came back, they were a little powerless and listless. After practicing for a while, they felt very bored, so they sat on the sidelines and played, and then waited for Neil and Lavender. They arrived, but it was already past nine o'clock, and Neil and Lavender still did not appear in their sight. In desperation, the teammates had to lock the door of the gymnasium, and went back to the dormitory sullenly.

And Neil may have just made Lavender angry, and then he was also in a bad mood, so he returned to the dormitory, got angry for a while, then washed up and went to sleep.

When he woke up, the sun had already shone in from the east window. Neil opened his hazy eyes, blinked, stretched his waist, and looked out the window. Golden yellow, shining in the sun, Neil was deeply attracted by all this, he rolled over happily and got up, came to the window, looked straight into the distance, and smiled, it seemed that it might be because he was still young, He had already forgotten what happened yesterday afternoon. Taking advantage of the warm sun, he quickly put on his clothes, washed up, and headed towards the gym.

When he came to the gymnasium and found that none of his teammates came, he wondered very strangely, what happened to them?None of them have come yet, don't you want to be a champion?

After asking himself several times, he seemed to suddenly think of something. He thought that he and Lavender went out for dinner yesterday afternoon and never went back to the gym. Maybe they were all disappointed in me and didn't have any confidence to practice again. Going down, the opponent is already strong, plus I fell in love with them last night, they must be extremely desperate for me, what happened to me yesterday?I have offended Lavender and offended them indirectly, so forget about it, let's go find them.

He came to the door of their dormitory and knocked on the door for a while, but no one answered or responded to him.

He still didn't give up and kept knocking on the door. The auntie of the dormitory heard someone knocking on the door of a certain dormitory. She hurried upstairs to check and saw that it was Neil who was knocking on the door. She sighed and said, "Son, they Everyone left the dormitory early in the morning."

"gone?"

"correct."

"Oh, okay, thank you!"

Hearing what the dormitory aunt said, Neil blamed himself a little bit, but he still held back his emotions. When he saw the dormitory auntie shook his head and went downstairs, he pounded his fists on the wall hard, as if he couldn't forgive himself, and said to himself He said to himself: "Brothers, if all our previous efforts are in vain this time, then I will never forgive myself."

Seeing that his teammates have all gone home, he seems to have forgotten all the vows and dreams at the beginning of the game, but it is not their fault, it is my fault that I went for too long yesterday afternoon and never came back again, my This kind of practice, even if my teammates treat me like this, I will be disheartened and desperate for them, so I should understand their practices and ideas, but what makes me angry is that I have not come to the gymnasium to practice with them for a long time. Neither asked anyone to look for me, nor went to the dormitory to ask why.

So go ahead!Even if you all die in stage fright at the end, I will fight to the end alone, because I can lose badly, but I can't lose without dignity.

As for a spoiled princess like Lavender, if she wants to get angry, she can get angry. However, she brought me both food and water yesterday, but it was a pity that the cleaning staff took care of it and put it into the trash can, but that was still her wish. , I don't want to owe anyone anything, I'd better ask her to apologize, as for whether she forgives me, it's her business.

So, he rushed downstairs in a hurry to find Lavender. When he arrived at the door of Lavender's dormitory, he saw the full-time driver of Lavender's family walking towards a Mercedes-Benz sports car with Lavender. Neil saw this In one scene, he hurriedly called out Lavender's name: "Lavender, didn't you say you would stay with me this week and watch me play?"

When Lavender heard Neil's voice, she didn't speak, but turned her head and glanced at him, then whispered to her full-time driver: "Let's go..."

Afterwards, the full-time driver opened the car door for Lavender.

Seeing that the cruel Lavender was about to leave him, leaving him alone in school, Neil sincerely apologized loudly: "Larvey, I was wrong yesterday afternoon, I'm sorry!"

Then her eyes were fixed on Lavender's right foot stepping into the car door, her left foot was on the back, and she was about to follow the back of the buyer. Waiting for Lavender to look back, she still thought about it for a while, and got into the car, and was caught by her full-time driver. picked up.

Today's excitement was too great for Neil. First, his teammates didn't even say a word, so he let go of his imminent dream and went home alone. At this moment, Lavender, he publicly apologized to her in person, and she also wanted to leave. Er didn't know what to do. He felt that his mind was very chaotic, and he was scratching his head and fell into deep thought. Suddenly he became a little narrow-minded, kicked his feet childishly, and said to himself, and said forcefully: "Hmph...you all go away, you think I want to see you? You dangle in front of my eyes every day, I feel dizzy. If you don't accompany me, I'll go play with my beloved basketball."

At this point in his words, he looked at the direction Lavender left, was very angry, bit his lips helplessly, turned around and went back to the gymnasium to practice alone.

He came to the gymnasium, because he had all kinds of emotions in his heart at the moment, and he wanted to put all his anger on the basketball. He dribbled the ball very hard, and he shot the ball even harder. The solid wood floor and the backboard were all smashed by him. I want to scold him, but he still doesn't want to let them go, he still wants to share his pain and discomfort with them, after all, it will make him feel a little better.

When Neil was exhausted from torturing the floor and the backboard, and wanted to fall to the ground and continue to sleep, a very friendly and familiar voice came from outside the gymnasium.

"Louis, do you think our son will be at the gym?"

"Honey, I guess he should be here. He likes basketball so much. He didn't come here. It's only been so long since he started school. He doesn't have any good friends. He can only be with basketball."

"It would be great if this is the case. I don't know what's going on with him. I miss him a little bit. Louis, look, the door of the gymnasium is still open today on Saturday."

Louis nodded, grabbed Nuana's hand tightly, and walked in quickly.

Since Neil heard that it was his parents, it seemed that his teammates and Lavender had left him and went home alone, all of a sudden disappeared, and the bleakness just now made him almost freeze to death, and now he was suddenly Surrounded by the hot air brought by his parents from the warm home, he immediately felt a wave of heat rising from the bottom of his heart, because this wave of rising warmth was too warm, and it immediately warmed his cold heart. This also made Neil run towards the door where his parents came from, and couldn't help shouting affectionately: "Dad, Mom, why are you here? I miss you so much!"

Louis and Nuana looked at their son running towards them, took two steps in three steps, and kissed him on the cheek when they rushed over, then they hugged him in their arms, and burst into tears with joy: "The child , we miss you too."

Nuana gently pushed him away, staring straight at him: "Son, you've lost weight!"

"Mom, it's okay, look at how healthy I am!" Neil replied with a smile.

Louis let go of him, patted him on the shoulder, touched his head again, and said a little proudly of Neil, "By the way, kid, I heard your teacher call and say that you led the team to the Welcome Cup. Fourth place and with the quarter-finals on Monday, are you confident?"

"Dad, no, our previous four-game losing streak was brought to us by the four teams in the quarter-finals. Their team's overall strength is too strong, and our team, except for me, the rest of the psychological quality It’s not good, I’m scared as soon as I play.”

"That's bad!"

"Yes, Dad! But you're here, I'm not afraid of losing."

"Son, it's okay. You've done a good job. Your father and I are proud of you." Nuana encouraged her son with such words.

Neil looked at his mother and nodded gratefully.

"Boy, your mother is right. You have tried your best. Winning or losing is not that important. We decided to practice with you these few days and cheer for you in the quarter-finals on Monday afternoon."

"Thank you, Dad, Mom!"

"No, who made you our baby!"

"By the way, you will remember in the future, don't care too much about losing. Losing can make you stronger. At the same time, on the way to winning, don't forget to appreciate the scenery along the way, which will allow you to pursue your dreams without getting lost. .”

"Okay, Dad, I remember!"

These words from his father reminded Neil that this was the reason why Lavender was angry with him yesterday afternoon, and he also discovered that sometimes in order to win, he was indeed dazzled by winning, missed a lot of scenery along the road, and Missed a lot of touching moments, for example, after every game, many students wanted to take photos with him, but he always replied: "I'm sorry, this classmate, I still have to practice, and I don't have time to enjoy the game here, because more A fierce battle is still waiting for us to fight."

As a result, those students left melancholy and disappointed. After walking a few steps, they turned their heads and rolled their eyes at him, casting contemptuous glances.
