Chapter 262: Substitute Member
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“No, Brother Yu.” Xiao Zhou, who was lying on the ground, endured the pain and said weakly, “It’s just a stomachache. It suddenly started to hurt.”
The other team members around them were also very nervous. This was the first time they had encountered such an unexpected situation.
“Can you tell me the exact location?” Yuan Xiao looked at the pale-faced team member and bent down to ask him.
“Here, on the right.” Little Zhou, who was on the ground, was already a little unconscious. His voice when she spoke to Yuan Xiao was especially weak. “It’s especially painful one moment, but it can be stronger the next.”
“Is there a shortness of breath?” One of the team members muttered softly. He felt that it should not be a big deal. After all, Little Zhou was clearly fine just now.
“Shortness of breath won’t be so serious.” Yuan Xiao thought for a moment, took out her cell phone, and said to Zhao Yu, “Send him to the hospital and contact the instructor. It’s very likely to be acute appendicitis. He needs surgery.”
Hearing Yuan Xiao’s words, everyone took it seriously. Some team members went to inform the instructors, and some team members went to help Little Zhou get his coat. They were all busy.
After Yuan Xiao made the emergency call, she waited in the gymnasium with Fang Yao and Li Chang. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when Little Zhou was taken to the hospital.
Only Zhao Yu still looked nervous.
Seeing that he was unhappy, Li Chang comforted him. “Don’t worry too much. The appendicitis will be fine. Moreover, his roommates have accompanied him. He’ll be fine soon.
“I know.” Zhao Yu sighed. He still frowned and said, “I’m worried that even if Little Zhou’s surgery is successful, he won’t be able to participate in the competition next week.”
“Doesn’t your basketball team have a substitute member?” Yuan Xiao asked in confusion. After all, there were many boys who knew how to play basketball.
“The substitute on the team applied for leave last week. It seems like he’s going to participate in some competition. He’s not in school at all.”
“Then there’s no one else?” Li Chang looked at Zhao Yu’s worried expression and felt a little worried as well.
“Yes, but their techniques are too average. They’re alright for amateur practice, but it’s still a little difficult for them to compete.” Zhao Yu had mixed feelings. He had valued this competition to begin with and had already sacrificed a lot for this competition.
“Moreover, Little Zhou is playing the center position. Not everyone can replace him.” Zhao Yu looked dejected. If they could not defeat other schools in this competition, it would be very difficult for the University A basketball team to participate in higher level competitions in the future.
“Alright, it’s almost dark. You guys should go back and rest early. I’ll discuss it with the team members and see how Little Zhou is doing.” Zhao Yu gestured for Fang Yao and the others to go back and rest first. He walked towards the lounge of the basketball court alone.
“Xiao Xiao, is the problem very serious? This is the first time I’ve seen Zhao Yu like this. He’s usually heartless.” Li Chang was a little worried about Zhao Yu’s situation. She was used to his usual joking manner and felt that Zhao Yu was the type who would not have much worries on his mind.
“He’s the captain after all. It’s inevitable that he’ll be worried about the competition.” Yuan Xiao got up from her chair and said to Fang Yao and Li Chang, “Let’s go. We can’t help even if we stay here. We’ll come and see Zhao Yu tomorrow.”
Li Chang hesitated for a moment before saying to Fang Yao and Yuan Xiao, “I’d better go and see him. You guys can go back first. Don’t wait for me.”
Yuan Xiao nodded. It seemed that although Li Chang did not say anything, she still cared a lot about Zhao Yu.
On the way back to the dormitory with Fang Yao, Yuan Xiao asked Fang Yao, who seemed to have something on his mind, “Did something happen between you and Zhao Yu? Why are you so unhappy the entire night?”
Fang Yao looked at Yuan Xiao in front of him. He wanted to ask her directly if she cared about him, but he felt that that would make him look childish.
“No, I’m worried about Zhao Yu, okay? The competition is next week. Where is he going to find another team member?”
“If you’re really worried, go and help. Didn’t Zhao Yu say that you’re very good at basketball?” Yuan Xiao said.
“You want me to play basketball?” Fang Yao stopped and asked Yuan Xiao beside him.
“Yes, you’ll definitely look very handsome when you play basketball.” Yuan Xiao knew Fang Yao’s personality. Even if she did not say that, Fang Yao would still help when Zhao Yu really had no choice.
“Then I can consider it.” Hearing Yuan Xiao’s words, Fang Yao was a little satisfied.
“If you want to play basketball, as your girlfriend, I will definitely cheer for you with all my might.” Yuan Xiao had originally planned to say something to encourage Fang Yao, but she did not expect him to agree directly..
