Xin'er, who was watching the commotion from the side, screamed and begged for mercy as Li Feng grabbed her. However, Li Feng, who felt sorry for her, did the same thing for her as yesterday morning. He

used his tongue to soothe her burning flower chamber and his saliva to reduce the swelling of her petals. Xin'er, just like yesterday morning, grabbed and rubbed Li Feng's hair with her hands, hummed softly, and twisted slightly.

With Xin'er on his left and Tie Yi on his right, Teacher Li asked them a question: Do you regret it? Xin'er

snuggled into Li Feng's arms and said without thinking that she would not regret it. Tie Yi's hand stroked his chest. After a moment of contemplation, she said that things had already come to this, and she was already half an old woman. She had nothing to regret.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Teacher Li arrived at school on time. After checking on the students' morning self-study in the senior and junior high classes, I left the teaching building and headed towards the school cafeteria.

The staff cafeteria and student cafeteria have been merged for almost a year. Although the school's budget is very tight, Principal Li, who is very willing to invest in this area, along with the logistics director, has managed the merged cafeteria very well. This is one of the highlights of No. 33 Middle School since Principal Li took office.

When Principal Li first took over the school, both the staff and student cafeterias were practically useless, as the number of people eating there could be counted on one hand on quiet days.

When Principal Li took office, the Municipal Education Commission allocated 700,000 yuan. Principal Li used a quarter of it to pay the school's water and electricity bills for the month. After multiple rounds of coordination with the power company and water company, the school was able to restore water and electricity supply. The school will repay the outstanding water and electricity bills in installments. Another

quarter of the allocated funds was used to pay half of the two and a half years' worth of unpaid wages to the staff and to pay for their medical insurance.

After some misappropriation, less than 100,000 yuan remained from the remaining half of the funds. 30,000 yuan was kept as contingency funds, and the rest was invested in the school's newly merged canteen.

Having worked at a military district primary school for fifteen years and served as principal for thirteen, Principal Li had never handled school finances before. The funds allocated to him by the Municipal Education Commission were supposed to cover three months' worth of school expenses, but Principal Li managed to keep 30,000 yuan remaining in less than a month.

Normally, 30,000 yuan would be used up by the evening of Wednesday, Monday through Wednesday. However, Principal Li managed to survive on 30,000 yuan for almost two weeks. Just when

things seemed hopeless, someone arrived with a grain bin to help.

It was the Third Vocational School of the North District, located back-to-back with the Thirty-Third Middle School, which had been merged into the Thirty-Third Middle School due to a lack of students and teachers.

The vocational school was now reduced to only two classes. One is an auto repair class, which will graduate in half a semester; the other is a fashion design and tailoring class. Although classes have stopped, the roster shows forty-one students enrolled in that class.

The auto repair students are about to graduate and have already started their internships, just waiting to receive their diplomas. Therefore, No. 33 Middle School only needs to nominally manage them for a period of time.

The fashion design class, which was enrolled last year and has since fallen apart, has more problems. The Beicheng Education Bureau has ordered No. 33 Middle School to find these lost students and place them in the same grade at No. 33 Middle School.

Currently, there are three teachers available at the vocational school: Wang Caini, the homeroom teacher of the fashion design class who now sells clothes at the Beicheng District City Square; a security guard; and Xue Ming, a staff member in the school's logistics department.

Wang Caini told Principal Li that she would contact her students the next day and left in a hurry. Staff member Xue Ming then told Principal Li something.

He told Principal Li that the vocational school's courtyard was vacant, but a driving school wanted to use it as a practice ground, and the driving school was even offering to pay him. They weren't asking for money; they were offering him money! Having already acquired ownership of the vocational school, Principal Li immediately approved the deal. That afternoon, he received three months' rent in advance from the driving school.

Even better things followed. Wang Caini's clothing store in the city square, a large supermarket, wanted to rent temporary storage and had their eyes on the vocational school's classrooms. They rented all eight rows of single-story classrooms. And they gave Principal Li another three months' deposit.

Backed by the 33rd Middle School, the vocational school faced the relatively bustling Industrial Road in the northern part of the city. Inspired by the rental opportunity, Principal Li used a portion of the rent he received to convert the vocational school's original street-facing offices into commercial space, which he then rented out.

These three rental payments not only solved Principal Li's immediate financial crisis but also allowed his school to have a surplus after settling its monthly expenses. A portion of the surplus was used to pay off outstanding staff salaries, and other debts were gradually being settled.

During the renovation of the vocational school office, Principal Li, Wang Caini, and Xie Xin (who taught the fewest classes at No. 33 Middle School, as a physical education teacher) contacted all the students from the original fashion design class they could.

After much effort, seventeen out of the original forty-one students joined the first-year high school class at No. 33 Middle School (their foundation was weak, so keeping up in the first-year class was already quite an achievement). Of these seventeen, eight were members of the original fashion design class's modeling team.

The modeling team was gone, but when these tall girls stood before Xie Xin, her eyes lit up. "Yes, if we're not models anymore, can't we play basketball with our height?"

The modeling team members were personally recruited by Wang Caini when she was at the vocational school; her beloved students had almost been ruined by her! This was Wang Caini's biggest worry before this! To this end, she kept all the information and contact details of the students in her original class. She still held a sliver of hope that one day she would find these children and bring them back to the classroom.

Hearing that the children could return to school, even if not to their original classes, Wang Caini was still incredibly excited. She resigned from her position as the head of the clothing department at the student activity center, just to find her former students and bring them back to the classroom with her.

The 33rd Middle School used to have a girls' basketball team, but after several years of losses, only five players remained—Zhang Nan, Lü Na, Zhou Tingting, Zhang Shuhui, and Yu Lian—who were selected as substitutes in the junior high group.

The biennial Jiangzhong City Middle School Basketball Tournament was an unattainable peak for the former 33rd Middle School girls' basketball team. However, after Xie Xin selected several girls from the former vocational school model team, some hope emerged, even if that hope was only to reach the top eight.

Sui Yuanyuan, Wang Yanan, Hui Min, Li Fanghua, Tian Tian, and Guo Shuwen stood on the training court of the 33rd Middle School's girls' basketball team for the first time, starting their first training camp with the original team members.

The skill levels of the players varied greatly, and they were very unfamiliar with each other. Head coach Xie Xin divided the players into two groups for training. One group consisted of players with solid fundamentals, good shooting touch, skillful dribbling, and who had played together for a long time.

The other group needed to practice fundamentals, shooting, dribbling, and passing. However, training both groups alone would be exhausting for Coach Xie. Therefore, Coach Xie approached Principal Li with a try-it-and-see attitude.

Principal Li valued both academic instruction and extracurricular activities. He was generally supportive of Coach Xie's suggestion, but the school was currently short-staffed; the teachers available were essentially doing the work of three people. Finding suitable people to assist Coach Xie in training proved to be a real challenge for Principal Li.

After thinking it over for a long time, Principal Li, who was also the homeroom teacher of the first-year junior high school class and the Chinese teacher of a class in the first year of senior high school, volunteered to Coach Xie, who was full of expectations.

Wanting to find someone to lend a hand, I didn't expect to bring the biggest boss in the school! Coach Xie really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and reluctantly accepted Principal Li's recommendation.

The school team's training was carried out on the basis of ensuring the students' main studies, so although he was teaching two classes, Principal Li still had some time to help Coach Xie.

The principal came, but Xie Xin didn't know how much Principal Li, who came to help her, knew about basketball, or rather, was this self-recommended principal asking her to come and instruct him first?

With this feeling of having nowhere to go, but not daring to test the principal's basketball level, Coach Xie temporarily arranged a very simple physical training exercise.

Three sets of physical training exercises, the principal's assistant coach did with the players, and could guide and correct the players who did not do it well. Seeing this, Coach Xie decided that the next set of training would be exercises to stretch the body's ligaments.

[Volume 1: First Encounter with Maple Leaves] Chapter 2: Wrong, to Correct or Not? (2)

Leg press, and then stretch the lumbar ligaments, Principal Li and all the players did it just as well. After stretching abdominal muscles and doing calf strength exercises, the order was slightly disrupted, leading to a split, specifically a very difficult full split, requiring a holding time of at least three minutes; those who couldn't hold it had to double the time.

While all the female team members, including those selected from the modeling team, were struggling, Principal Li held the split perfectly for three minutes. After the girls who had completed the full split with Principal Li got up, Principal Li went to instruct those still holding the split.

For sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, the full split was indeed difficult, but with some training in ligament stretching, it was achievable with a little effort. She

then had the remaining girls switch to a full split, and going behind the girl with the worst posture, Principal Li lifted her shoulders, kneed her waist, and slowly, but irresistibly, pressed down.

The girl let out a short cry, and Principal Li pinned her in a perfect full split. After three minutes, Principal Li released her and went to the other girls to repeat the exercise.

Even the most difficult split was completed perfectly under Principal Li's guidance. The girls whose ligaments had been stretched felt only slight pain and were hesitant to put too much force on their legs; otherwise, they experienced little discomfort.

The other girls were called over by Xie Xin to practice running hoops. Since the girls who had just stretched weren't suited for strenuous exercise, Principal Li led them to practice spot shooting under the opposite basketball hoop.

Four of the six girls were from a modeling team. Because of their height, these girls had all played basketball in junior high; what they lacked now was refinement of certain movement details.

After picking up the basketball and practicing shooting from several different angles, Principal Li, standing at the free-throw line, began demonstrating shooting techniques.

His ball-handling posture was professional: wrist snap, finger flick, the basketball spinning high before swishing through the net. After explaining each movement detail, the six girls took turns standing at the free-throw line.

Everyone has their own habitual movements, and even if such movements hinder her shooting, it's difficult for her to change them. Principal Li didn't insist that she change her habitual movements; he used a more effortless method: to improve the hindering habitual movements so that they no longer affect her shooting improvement.

After teaching a Chinese class to the first-year high school class and then visiting the ninth-grade class he was teaching, Principal Li saw Coach Xie gathering her players on the court. After changing his clothes in his office, he went to the training field.

Yesterday, Principal Li held a short meeting with all the school's administrative staff. At the meeting, he announced the following: the school's finances and logistics would be fully managed by the soon-to-retire vice-principal; administrative affairs and the school's moral education would be handled by Party Secretary Tian Rong, who joined the school a month later than Principal Li; the teaching work of the high school would be mainly managed by Vice-Principal and Director of Academic Affairs Tie Yi, and the teaching work of the junior high school would be mainly managed by the Deputy Director of Academic Affairs.

Principal Li himself is also serving as the acting Chinese language teacher for the first-year high school class and the homeroom teacher for the third-year junior high school class. While coordinating the overall work of the school, he

also assists Xie Xin, the school's women's basketball coach, in managing the training of the women's team. Principal Li is a diligent and down-to-earth principal. Whether it's the current management staff or teachers, they all retain an affection for the school and see hope for the school to overcome its difficulties through Principal Li's efforts during this period. Although the school still has various problems, seeing hope, the staff are already consciously working hard to do their jobs well. What

impressed me most here was Party Secretary Tian Rong. Have you ever seen a school's Party Secretary who isn't concurrently the principal? Even in schools with full-time Party Secretaries, which one has been given such comprehensive responsibilities? It's true that a Party Secretary is responsible for Party building and moral education, but to be fully responsible for the administrative work of a school—this might have happened twenty years ago, but it has disappeared in the 20th century.

Tian Rong was somewhat unsure about the principal's arrangement, so after the principal repeatedly assured her that she would handle the specific tasks herself and only need to hold a meeting if necessary, she first presented her opinions on some tasks at the school's regular meeting and then sought the principal's opinion. The principal simply took out a notebook, wrote down these matters, offered a few supplementary suggestions, and handled the rest according to Tian Rong's instructions.

After several tests, Tian Rong, who had been sidelined from the city's key No. 3 Middle School due to power distribution issues, and was now at No. 33 Middle School, threw herself wholeheartedly into her new job, even while harboring some misunderstanding about her new partner, the principal.

Indeed, she had to produce something tangible, not to mention the trust others placed in her (although such trust would need to be proven in the future), just to demonstrate her abilities was essential! Otherwise, she would be a laughingstock among the people at No. 3 Middle School and be considered incompetent by the people at No. 33 Middle School!

Thirty-two-year-old Tian Rong worked very diligently. This woman, who had a wide network of connections in Jiangzhong City's education sector, truly relieved Principal Li of a considerable amount of workload when she worked seriously.

Principal Li earned Coach Xie Xin's approval in both physical fitness and basic basketball skills. Therefore, Coach Xie Xin focused on training the starting players, while Principal Li oversaw the basic training of the substitutes and also served as the temporary team doctor for the girls' team (primarily knowing a little about relaxation and massage, Principal Li could handle minor injuries and pains during training). Sui Yuanyuan, at 1.83 meters tall, was the tallest player on the girls' team, but her slender build forced her to become a substitute. When a player squeezed past her, she not only couldn't stop them but often fell herself.

She suffered the most minor injuries and pains, and was also the most humiliated among the team members. Despite being the tallest player on the team and having the most accurate shot when not in contact, during scrimmage training, as the center, she was constantly pushed around by defenders on offense, unable to even enter the paint. On defense, she was either pushed off the baseline or fell to the ground.

Occasionally, she would get a rebound, but that was by chance; a few shots were only taken after the game was already decided, when the defenders would let her, who had fought all game, find her shooting touch.

Yuanyuan is strong-willed, extremely strong-willed. Even when she's silently shedding tears, she perseveres.

Principal Li gives her the most attention during the training of the substitute players.

Yuanyuan has the height, accurate shooting, good ball-handling skills, and decent coordination; her only weakness is insufficient stamina. Her slender build and weak lower body strength make it difficult for her to compete with defenders.

Increasing her stamina and strengthening her lower body strength are crucial for Yuanyuan's continued survival on the team. However, the reason Yuanyuan was able to become the head leader of the vocational high school's modeling team was because her physique was so perfectly suited for modeling.

Such a near-perfect physique, if its coordination were completely ruined on the basketball training court, would be something Principal Li, who naturally prefers to preserve beauty forever, would not allow himself to do.

Increasing leg strength doesn't necessarily mean turning slender legs into elephant-like thick ones, and increasing physical strength doesn't require the weight of a hippopotamus. Therefore, Principal Li tailored a training plan for Yuanyuan that suited his own aesthetic views.

However, regardless of the training method, increasing absolute strength is a prerequisite. Yuanyuan began the arduous strength training designed by Principal Li, which involved Principal Li, who was eight centimeters taller than her, carrying her off the training court every day after practice.

While Yuanyuan did physical conditioning and strength training, Principal Li had the other substitute players focus primarily on defensive drills while maintaining their basic skills training. This included

one-on-one defense, two-on-one help defense, zone defense, extended man-to-man defense, full-court press defense, and transitions between various defensive maneuvers and player switching. After each training session, not only Yuanyuan, who was carried off the training ground first, but also all the other girls, except for one or two with good stamina, were carried off by Principal Li.

High-intensity training necessitates relaxation massages to relieve the tension and fatigue in the muscles. Principal Li's wife, Wei Hong, comes from a family with a long tradition of treating sprains and bruises, making her the village's barefoot doctor. She also passed on her family's medical skills to Li Feng without reservation.

Li Feng, aside from using Wei Hong's teachings in Liumian Township, after returning to the city, even during his leisure time at the admissions office, after studying and understanding most of modern sports medicine, spent most of his time practicing what

he had learned on Fei'er. Now, a dozen or so girls, along with their coach, have become Principal Li's practice subjects.

【Volume 1: First Encounter with Maple Leaves】 Chapter 2: Wrong, to Correct or Not (3)

The combination of modern sports medicine and traditional techniques provides a guarantee for the girls' effective recovery after enduring high-intensity training. After Coach Xie saw that his worries were relieved, he readily increased the training volume of the main team members to near the limit.

However, Principal Li's time was limited, after all, there was a lot of work waiting for him at the school. Therefore, Principal Li taught each team member some commonly used recovery techniques by hand, so that all team members could recover and relax after each training session.

Originally, the team members had all learned how to relax and recover with each other, and Principal Li should have been able to relax as well. But interestingly, as long as Principal Li was still on the training field after training, the girls, including their coaches, would tacitly calculate the time and then lie on the mat in groups of three or five, asking Principal Li to give them a relaxation massage.

All the girls, including Coach Xie who joined later, loved having Principal Li give them massages. In their words, it was Principal Li's warm, iron-like palms that, even without applying pressure, simply soothing their tired, sore muscles with his warm hands, quickly relieved the fatigue and pain.

Therefore, after training, Principal Li would silently line up the team members and coaches, making sure to have Principal Li demonstrate the warmth of his hands.

Usually, Principal Li only gave the team members or coaches a back massage; the girls would massage each other's front. The girls and their coaches agreed with this. The reason was simple: they weren't wearing much clothing during relaxation sessions, and the sight of a grown man's warm hands touching their skin made them inexplicably uncomfortable, and the girls would instinctively avoid it.

However, things changed. One time, Yu Lian's minor knee injury and subsequent treatment brought a different change to the school's girls' training.

This was the second day after Yu Lian injured her knee. To make it easier for her to examine and treat, Principal Li carried her injured leg on his own. This was understandable; Principal Li was different from other assistant coaches—he did the same amount of exercise as the team members. Although the girls' exercise wasn't very strenuous, it was still tiring for Principal Li, who was over forty and hadn't done high-intensity exercise in years.

Sitting on the mat with Yu Lian, Principal Li, while being examined and treated, also stretched out his legs to relax himself.

Knee injuries, if they were minor bumps or impacts without bone damage, are easy to treat. However, Yu Lian had a strained hamstring above her knee, so the treatment was somewhat painful.

Simply put, Principal Li applied pressure to Yu Lian's injured area, and the pain caused Yu Lian's injured leg, which was on Principal Li's, to reflexively extend forward. This ordinary treatment took an unexpected turn.

The girl's bare feet touched Principal Li's lower abdomen. Principal Li, focused on treating the girl, didn't notice this situation and continued with his work as usual.

The slight undulation of a man's abdominal muscles, driven by his long, deep breaths, rhythmically and elastically transmitted this dynamic feeling precisely to Yu Lian through her bare feet.

Sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls often experience a strong curiosity and restlessness towards the opposite sex. If this feeling were in other girls, they might rationally control it.

However, this feeling manifested in Yu Lian at this particular moment, and coincidentally, Yu Lian was the kind of girl who, even knowing she would be driven mad by curiosity, still felt compelled to try. Therefore, her suppressed curiosity transformed into restlessness. Her

loose-fitting shirt, not tucked into her athletic shorts, allowed Yu Lian's feet to easily touch the man's taut abdominal muscles.

Principal Li wasn't particularly tall, not exceeding 1.74 meters, but something about him, even when resting, was over twelve centimeters long.

Normally, as long as this thing doesn't riot, Principal Li doesn't need to pay special attention to it. But now that he's training with a group of girls, even though it's covered by loose athletic shorts, it might still unsightly sway and flaunt itself at some point. So, Principal Li wore slightly tighter underwear under his athletic shorts, preventing it from swaying and flaunting itself and keeping it fixed in place along his lower abdomen.

If Yu Lian had just curiously touched Principal Li's abs with a few toes as she did at the beginning, it wouldn't have been a problem. But Yu Lian was deeply attracted by the tension of the abs she felt for the first time, and never suppressing her desire for what attracted her, she subtly rubbed her body against it little by little.

Yu Lian's entire foot completely covered the taut abs, but at this moment, she could also clearly feel that cylindrical thing along most of her sole.

Even greater was the shock, and even greater was the wonder. In this alternation of shock and wonder, a restless, wave-like movement caused Yu Lian's feet to press lightly against the cylinder, slowly moving it.

Principal Li noticed the little girl's mischief and trickery but didn't expose her. After all, if such a thing were pointed out, the little girl's delicate face would be utterly humiliated.

However, Principal Li's current sitting posture prevented him from subtly avoiding the little girl's curious feet. So, while speeding up the treatment, Principal Li also considered whether he should have a few words of guidance with these teenage girls.

Opportunity is equal for everyone. Since you didn't react appropriately in the first instance, that fleeting opportunity went to someone else—a little girl whose boldness, driven by curiosity, was growing.

It's one thing to miss the opportunity, because this isn't something that can be fatal just because it happened a little earlier or later. But it depends on how you look at it. Take Principal Li, for example. He's the kind of person who gets stuck in his teeth even when he's drinking cold water. And these days, this person who gets stuck in his teeth has been teased by Fei'er to the point that, as soon as something gets heated, that thing, which is already at its explosive limit, is about to explode.

Look, the thing only moved Yu Lian's feet, and it suddenly surged with a huge 90-degree upward line.

It swelled up, not just a stock! It rose (fourth tone), not just a rise (third tone).

The surging upward line made Yu Lian's body go limp, and the surging upward line made Principal Li's whole body stiffen! Softened, stiffened, they were just nailed down like that. It wasn't that the two nailed down didn't want to move, how could they move?

Oh dear—I'm exhausted! A group of girls suddenly collapsed onto the mats.

In a panic, Principal Li half-rolled over, his body still a little stiff, and struggled to his feet. Yu Lian covered her flushed face with her hands and sat motionless on the mat.

Fortunately, the others, exhausted from training, didn't notice how magnificent and spectacular the stock market's surge had been.

A few days later, having recovered his composure from the stock market frenzy, Principal Li wanted to talk to Yu Lian about youth when no one was around.

However, during the conversation, Principal Li realized that today's young women's understanding of youth far surpassed that of his generation.

Not only did the sharp-tongued Yu Lian give him a good lecture, but she also shifted the blame entirely onto him for the stock market surge.

Yes, it's your own fault for not managing your own affairs properly!

Yu Lian was the biggest beneficiary of the stock market surge because she had threatened to expose it if he didn't do this or that! If you insist on doing this or that, I'll reveal all the inside stories of the stock market boom…

He was defeated, utterly defeated by these girls who are at the forefront of the times.

The instigator was Yu Lian. She didn't reveal the inside story of the stock market boom, nor did she make things difficult for Principal Li, the loser who had signed a humiliating treaty. She intentionally or unintentionally diverted the other girls' attention to Principal Li's potentially booming stocks! What was originally a massage from behind, under Yu Lian's slightly threatening gaze, gradually became a full-body massage.

Although Principal Li still had more say in training and the girls' studies, in private, he had regressed to Teacher Li, or Old Li.

[Volume 1: First Encounter with Maple Leaves] Chapter 2: Wrong, or Not? (4)

"Old Li, Lao Luo from the Municipal Education Commission's Sports and Culture Department just called to say that our school's girls' basketball team should continue training to prepare for representing our city in the provincial middle school basketball competition."

Tian Rong greeted Li Feng, who had just returned from class, in the office corridor.

"Really? Did he say when the provincial competition will be held?"

Li Feng asked, somewhat surprised, as he entered Tian Rong's office with her.

"Lao Luo didn't say, but he said the city attaches great importance to this provincial middle school basketball competition. This afternoon, he and people from the Education Commission will accompany city leaders to inspect our school, and we should prepare for their reception."

Tian Rong replied, adding a new detail.

City leaders are coming to inspect? Li Feng, lost in thought, didn't immediately respond to Tian Rong's words. After a moment, a half-smile appeared on his face as he looked up at Tian Rong.

"Old Li, you mean..."

Tian Rong's words trailed off as she seemed to suddenly understand something, and a half-smile appeared on her face as well.

Li Feng's ambiguous smile indicated a certain way of receiving the city leaders who had suddenly visited the school, while Tian Rong's ambiguous smile reflected her understanding of Li Feng's intention and her strong agreement. They

understood each other implicitly; no words were needed. After more than half a year of working together, a tacit understanding had quietly developed between Li Feng and Tian Rong.

"Xiao Liu, go and call Principal Xu and Director Zou, tell them to go to the small conference room for a meeting later,"

Li Feng said, stopping the senior high school English teacher who was passing by Tian Rong's office.

"Principal Xu is in his office, but I just saw Director Zou go to the school cafeteria. Should I go there and call her?"

Teacher Liu replied after being stopped by Li Feng.

"Director Zou, you don't need to call her. There's a phone at the cafeteria; you can just inform Principal Xu."

After speaking with Xiao Liu, Tian Rong had already notified Director Zou by phone. Li Feng then walked with Tian Rong towards the small meeting room at the far end of the corridor.

The small meeting room was right next to Li Feng's office. He also called Tie Yi, who was in his office, and opened the door to the small meeting room.

The school's situation was what it was, so when receiving city leaders, we should showcase our school's image, but not deliberately do anything. In short, be realistic.

Being realistic means, while reasonably considering the face of all parties, appropriately acknowledging the school's poverty.

After all, it's not easy for a great figure to come; if we don't ask this passing great figure to leave some mark, wouldn't we be begging for food with a golden bowl in hand?

There was no need to arrange a grand welcome ceremony by students. Principal Li stood behind Secretary Tian and, together with all the faculty and staff who didn't have classes in the afternoon, greeted the city leaders who came to inspect the school at the main gate.

Fang Jing, a former basketball player and former director of the provincial sports commission, recently became the vice mayor of Jiangzhong City, overseeing the city's education, culture, and sports. Jiangzhong City, the capital of a province renowned for its sports, is famous for cultivating numerous future sports talents for the nation.

While basketball isn't Jiangzhong's traditional strength, the establishment of the Tiancheng Women's Basketball Club, which achieved third place in the national women's basketball league, has sparked a basketball craze in the city.

As a former member of the national women's basketball team, Fang Jing is very interested in basketball, especially women's basketball. Therefore, when the city's education commission invited her to watch the city's middle school basketball tournament, she readily agreed and watched almost the entire game.

From the commission's introduction, she learned about several traditionally strong basketball teams in the city's middle schools. During one of the quarter-final matches, Director Wang of the education commission, who was accompanying Fang Jing, expressed incredible surprise, drawing her attention to one particular team.

This team didn't have uniforms, yet no matter how close the game became, all the players wore smiles.

The smiles in the competition weren't just for moments of advantage and victory; they remained even when facing adversity. They were incredibly dedicated to the game, paying close attention to its progress and outcome. But behind all this, these beautiful young women had learned to enjoy the competition and the joy it brought.

Who had led such a team? Intrigued, Fang Jing began to focus on the team's leader. A familiar face appeared; after asking her companions, she exclaimed inwardly, "Oh, it's her!" Fang Jing paid even closer attention to the team until they finally stood on the highest podium.

She was supposed to attend the final awards ceremony and catch up with some acquaintances, but an urgent city meeting prevented her from staying until the end.

She missed the awards ceremony, but she still wanted to see acquaintances. The provincial middle school basketball tournament was about to begin, and as the vice mayor in charge of arts and sports, she could fulfill her wish to meet familiar faces while also showing concern for the city's team. So, she had her secretary contact the Education Commission, and Fang Jing, accompanied by staff from the Commission, arrived at Jiangzhong City's No. 33 Middle School at 3 PM on Monday.

The ringing of a cell phone came from behind Li Feng, who was waiting for the city leaders. After a few quiet words, Xie Xin handed the phone to Li Feng.

"Dad, I just got back this morning."

A slightly puzzled Li Feng had just put the phone to his ear when a voice he knew intimately came through. He quickly covered the microphone and walked aside, suppressing his excitement as he listened.

Fei'er was there to interview the city leaders' visit to No. 33 Middle School, so, missing her father-in-law, she had called him beforehand.

She said she would wait for her father-in-law at the dormitory after the interview, and that he should bring Xie Xin and Tie Yi along. Although Fei'er's words made Principal Li's heart pound again, he had no time to worry about it, as the inspection convoy had already arrived at the school gate.

The entire school was clean and tidy, students were attentively listening to lessons in the classrooms, and teachers were patiently and meticulously explaining things. The first impression of No. 33 Middle School was quite good.

However, as time went on, everyone felt a mix of emotions.

The three-story office building had all the faculty and staff crammed into one floor for work and teaching. The faculty and student dormitories were sealed off, and male faculty and students were crammed into single-story buildings, as were female faculty and students. The multimedia classrooms were in use, but the modern gymnasium was closed. It could be said that apart from the teaching buildings being fully utilized and teaching activities proceeding normally, everything else in the school was only about one-third of its original size.

The women's basketball team members were sweating profusely under the scorching summer sun, while not far from their open-air training ground was a fully equipped modern gymnasium that had to be closed.

After standing in the blazing sun for half an hour, waiting for the team's break, Fang Jing, guided by Tian Rong, approached the coaches and players.

She shook hands with each player, offering thoughtful greetings, and finally stood before Xie Xin, who had already slipped back to coach the team.

"Xiao Xie!" Fang

Jing called out affectionately, opening her arms wide towards Xie Xin.

"Fang... Sister Fang!"

A moment of surprised hesitation, a touch of confused thought, followed by a joyful cry, and Xie Xin and Fang Jing embraced tightly.

Yes, they were both national team players back then. Although one was on the national team and the other on the national youth team, the time they spent training together—one teaching by example, the other humbly learning—forged a deep bond between them.
