Chapitre 51: Blue Skies

The referee blew his whistle twice, signaling the end of the first half and breaking Liang Ke's train of thought. The coach got up from his seat and made his way towards the field's exit. He watched and waited as both teams passed him by, getting off the pitch and into their locker rooms. He was waiting for Ren Yu De.

Ren Yu De was the last person to get off the field. He seemed to be troubled by something and walked slower than the others, as if wanting to be left alone. And as he got closer to him, Liang Ke briefly revised his message to the boy.

"Ren Yu De."

Ren Yu De looked up at his coach in his dejected state. Just as the coach was about to continue, he was taken aback by the look in the boy's eyes.

His eyes were clean and pure. Although there were still bits of it in his gaze, his eyes were not as muddled with emotions as the first time they met.
