Ever since Xiao Yu entered high school, he seemed to have become a different person. He used to be a man of the hour on the basketball court, the top student in school, and the envy of countless people. However, since that agreement was broken, he seemed to have lost his soul. He stopped playing basketball, his grades plummeted, and he even began to avoid everything related to basketball.
As the captain of the basketball team and Xiao Yu's senior, Yunxu looked at Xiao Yu's changes and felt full of worry. He tried various methods to enlighten Xiao Yu, but to no avail. Until one day, Yunxu accidentally discovered Xiao Yu's secret.
It was a sunny afternoon, and Yunxu found Xiao Yu in the corner of the library. He was sitting by the window, holding an old photo album in his hand, staring out the window blankly. Yunxu walked over gently and sat next to him. He didn't speak, just stayed with him quietly.
After a long time, Xiao Yu finally spoke: "Yunxu, do you know why I am like this?"
Yunxu shook his head. He had always wanted to know the answer, but Xiao Yu had never mentioned it.
Xiao Yu took a deep breath and said slowly: "When I was in junior high school, I had a best friend. We agreed to enter the No. 1 Middle school together, join the basketball team together, and win the national championship together. However, just before the high school entrance examination, he died in an accident."
Yunxu's heart sank suddenly. He had never thought that Xiao Yu had such a heavy secret hidden in his heart.
"After he passed away, I seemed to have lost my direction. I didn't know why I wanted to play basketball, why I wanted to study, and why I wanted to live." Xiao Yu's voice was trembling.
Yunxu reached out and patted Xiao Yu's shoulder gently. He didn't know what to say and could only support him silently.
"I know you have always wanted me to return to the basketball team, but..." Xiao Yu paused, and then continued, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid to face that feeling of loss again."
Yun Xu felt a surge of complicated emotions in his heart, and he suddenly realized that his feelings for Xiao Yu had gone beyond brotherly love. He fell in love with this once radiant boy, but now he was covered in scars.
"Xiao Yu, I know how you feel, but life must go on. Your friend must hope that you can be happy and realize your common dream." Yunxu's voice was gentle but firm.
Xiao Yu raised his head, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes: "You are right, I can't give up like this."
Yunxu held Xiao Yu's hand tightly: "Let us work hard together, for you and for him."
From that day on, Yunxu began to work harder to help Xiao Yu find his former self. They train together, study together, and face difficulties together. Yunxu's heart was full of love, but he knew that the most important thing now was to help Xiao Yu stand up again.
As time went by, Xiao Yu gradually regained his former vitality, and he began to devote himself to basketball and study again. Yunxu watched him getting better day by day, and his heart was filled with joy. He knew that no matter what the future held, he would always be by Xiao Yu's side and protect him forever.
