Chapter 23

Wang Datou had promised to be Shasha's practice partner whenever he had free time, but half a year had passed before he actually fulfilled it. During that time, Shasha had gone to find Wang Datou full of enthusiasm once, only to be told by Grandpa Zhang downstairs that Datou was out. Sometimes, when they ran into each other in the training hall, Brother Tou seemed to have completely forgotten about it, and she felt too embarrassed to bring it up. Later, she heard some gossip from the older players in the team that Datou had fallen in love. Well, Brother Tou was a busy man; no wonder she saw him much less often during daily training. Better not to disturb him—she could manage on her own! Shasha cheered herself up. She had been watching quite a few match videos lately and studied them closely whenever she acted as a practice partner. The coaches even said she was improving.
