However, Liu Yong soon became astonished!
Upon observing the area, the young female approached Liu Yong's location and got a seat directly across from him in a previously unoccupied chair.
With a kind and giving attitude, the girl introduced herself to Liu Yong by saying,
"You must be Liu Yong, and I am Li Changle."
Young women like Li Changle tend to attract notice and admiration in any setting. Upon seeing Li Changle take a seat with Liu Yong, all of the male patrons in the coffee shop directed their gaze toward Liu Yong, displaying a feeling of covetousness or jealousy.
"Brother, awesome, such a beautiful girlfriend."
Liu Yong also had a little surprise!
As Liu Yong contemplated the possible outcomes of his blind date, one of his assumptions was that he might end up meeting an unattractive girl. He may have arrived at this conclusion based on the idea that blind dates are often seen as a last resort, and that those who partake in them may not be considered conventionally attractive or desirable.
Such a beautiful, well-proportioned beauty, is there a need for a blind date?
Liu Yong thought.
After experiencing a brief moment of shock or confusion, Liu Yong acknowledged Li Changle's introduction and confirmed his identity by nodding and saying,
"Yes, I am Liu Yong."
"What would you like to drink?"
"It doesn't matter what you drink"
Li Changle replied.
Liu Yong made the decision and ordered two cups of latte, plus some desserts.
As they sipped their coffee and nibbled on desserts, Liu Yong and Li Changle engaged in a lively conversation, perhaps owing to their youthfulness and shared interests. Despite the initial uncertainty accompanying blind dates, the two seemed to hit it off and conversed at length.
As the conversation continued, both Liu Yong and Li Changle understood each other. For example, Liu Yong learned that Li Changle had graduated from Huahai Normal University the previous year and was now working as an English teacher and class teacher at Huahai No. 2 Middle School.
Similarly, Li Changle learned more about Liu Yong's background, interests, and aspirations, allowing her to gain a better sense of who he was as a person.
As Liu Yong and Li Changle continued their conversation, Liu Yong noticed that Li Changle was frequently looking at him, either deliberately or unintentionally.

"I seem to have seen you before, and I felt familiar."
Liu Yong also felt this way.
"Really? I seem to have this feeling, I always feel that I have seen it somewhere."
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Yong said,
"Did you graduate from No. 6 Middle School? I graduated from No. 6 Middle School, Class 173."
"Are you from class 173? I'm from class 171."
There seemed to be a bit of surprise in Li Changle's tone.
Liu Yong said:
"I remembered, there is indeed a beautiful woman in class 171. At the time, many boys secretly said that she was our school's school belle. Yes, it's called Li Changle, but you are not wrong."
Finally remembered and confirmed it!
"Why are you only remembering these things now?"
The main class 171 is a liberal arts class, while class 173 is a science class. At that time, the intersection of arts and sciences was relatively small.
In high school, Liu Yong was basically not interested in beautiful women. His biggest hobby was playing basketball. He was not tall, with a height of 176, but he was also the main force of the school basketball team.
The most important point is that Liu Yong is not Liu Yong. He only inherited most of the memory of this body, not all of it.
It's completely normal not to remember some things that are not profound.
Li Changle also remembered Liu Yong,
"I also know you, the best player in the school basketball team at that time."
Liu Yong said:
"It's okay to play, but after graduating from college, there are very few opportunities to play basketball."
The two are from the same high school and graduated from the same class. The distance between them suddenly shortened a lot, and they talked more with each other.
It's just that Liu Yong still can't figure it out. Li Changle was beautiful in high school, but she is not as beautiful as she is now.
Could it be that the women's university has changed and become more beautiful in a few years.?
After drinking coffee and eating some desserts, Li Changle proposed:
"The sun is already in the west, so it won't bask in people like this anymore, let's go for a walk."
Liu Yong agreed: "Sure, where do you think it would be better to go."
Li Changle said: "Let's Go to Sixth Middle School and walk one by one, it's not too far to go there."
The two left the coffee shop, Li Changle took a parasol and walked beside Liu Yong.
While walking, the two chatted about some interesting things in high school, very speculative.
The distance is quite short, and it takes merely ten minutes to reach the destination. As it is currently summer vacation, the campus is noticeably serene.
Walking into this campus after a few years, Liu Yong was very touched.
Li Changle, with a kind heart, empathized with Liu Yong's emotions and gently expressed,
"It's been my first visit here since graduating from high school."
"Well, it's the first time I came here. As soon as I walked in here, the memories of high school flooded out like a tide."
Not far in front is the basketball court, some people are there, and it seems a bit lively.
It can be seen that someone proposed to play a game of basketball, but it seems that there is still one person missing. If there is a four-on-four, there will be one more person.
"Basketball is being played there, let's go and have a look." Li Changle suggested.
They strolled towards the perimeter of the basketball court, where nine individuals were already playing, and nearly a dozen more were observing.
The game coordinator on the court held a basketball and announced loudly,
"We're still missing one player. Whoever is willing to join, step forward."
No one responded, leaving the coordinators feeling a little letdown. With insufficient players, they could only play a four-on-four game, implying that one person would have to sit out.
It wasn't fair to make anyone sit out. Looking at the other eight individuals, who were enthusiastic and prepared to play, made the situation even more challenging.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLi Changle said:
"Liu Yong, why don't you give it a try, I watched you play basketball several times in high school, and you played very well."
Originally there was no plan, but when Li Changle said this, Liu Yong meant to go up and beat him up.
Therefore, he raised his right hand high and said loudly, "Count me in."
Chen Hui, the coordinator, observed Liu Yong with some doubt. Liu Yong's height could only be considered average, approximately 175 or 176 centimeters tall, while several others were over 180 centimeters.
The rest of the players were dressed in basketball uniforms and sports shoes, while Liu Yong was wearing casual clothes. Although he wasn't wearing leather shoes, they weren't sports shoes either, but rather casual footwear.
After hesitating for a long time, Chen Hui agreed:
"All right, you and the four of them will be in a team."
In Chen Hui's opinion, Liu Yong could only fill the vacant spot on one of the teams, so he suggested that he join the opposing team and assist them in lowering their score.
There are a total of ten players, five against five, playing the whole court, but the time is shortened, and the two halves are only 30 minutes.
After the rules were settled and the teams were divided, Liu Yong also took a look at the four teammates and memorized their appearance and jersey numbers.
The game starts and the referee kicks off the ball.
A whistle sounded, the basketball was thrown high, and one person from each side jumped up high to fight for the ball.
"Snapped!"
The blue team player who is chasing the ball slaps the ball toward their own half, and his teammate catches the ball and dribbles it toward the hoop.
The ball is getting closer to the rebound, now near the three-point line, and it seems like a shot is about to be taken.
A figure came over and easily broke the ball. It was Liu Yong.
After stealing the ball, with clarity and precision, a long pass was made back to their half and delivered accurately to the teammate nearest the rebound.
There is basically no suspense!
"it is good!"
"It's so beautifully broken!"
The onlookers cheered and applauded. There is no doubt that the biggest contributor to this ball is Liu Yong.
The teammate who scored gave Liu Yong a thumbs up, buddy, you passed the ball so beautifully.
