You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 29 Retirement Ceremony and Graduation Ceremony
Wei Xia, who won the state championship, did not wait for the heat to ferment and attract more universities, but announced his decision to choose a school on the spot.

He can choose any school, why Villanova University?
Few native Philadelphians would want to go to Villanova.

His teammates could not interfere with his decision, the coaching staff expressed their support, and the rest of the melon eaters had nothing but blessings.

On their return to Philadelphia, they were given a hero's welcome at the school.

Wei Xia's decision to go to Villanova University has affected a lot, and for him there are gains and losses.Well, the big stone in his heart has fallen, and he no longer has to be nervous about choosing a school.

The loss came from his lover Sasha Cassidy.

The matter was serious enough for Cassidy to decide to break up with him.It's not because Wei Xia decided to go to Villanova, but because he went to Villanova without discussing with her in advance.

Wei Xia realizes the seriousness of the problem and wants to save Cassidy, but unless he changes his mind and goes to DePaul University with her, he will have a long-distance relationship even if he saves her.

Mei Chen said it well: "Fei Li, a long-distance relationship will not have a good result."

In order to enlighten Wei Xia, Mei Chen also talked about her long-distance relationship experience.

She said that there was a man named Andrea who had been in love with her, but Wei Xia's father took advantage of her because they were separated in two places.

"Actually, that Andrea is a woman. Your mother was cheated, and that's the story." Wei Mingliang ruined Mei Chen's story by opening his mouth.

"No, anyway." Mei Chen quibbled, "If you don't tell me Andrea is a woman, I won't break up with her!"

Wei Mingliang spread his hands more helplessly than Jordan more than ten years ago: "Whether you break up or not, this relationship is fruitless, dear, are you a lesbian?"

"Did there be online scams in that era?" Wei Xia said in surprise.

After being enlightened by his parents, Wei Xia felt much better.

But he is still unwilling to give up this relationship, anyway, he was wrong first.Such a big matter should indeed be discussed with Cassidy.

Cassidy had been his dream girl. In tenth grade, he was promoted to the first team of the varsity team. He started in just eleven games and became a man of the school.His identity changed, and he began to boldly pursue the most beautiful sweetheart of Lower Merion with great success.

It's a pity that the relationship that lasted for more than two years ended here.After all, he delivered many firsts on Cassidy.

Holding hands for the first time, hugging for the first time, kissing the opposite sex like a relative for the first time, fart for the first time, do you think there is anything else?

Wei Xia did useless work, just as he was repeatedly ignored on the basketball court.

It took him 15 seconds to run, Kawan didn't even look, and he hit a jumper that blew his mind.

That's exactly how Cassidy responded to his efforts.

Since it is irreversible, forget it.

Wei Xia didn't force it, what he was going to prepare now was the graduation ceremony and the retirement ceremony for old students.

He disliked both ceremonies.

Graduation ceremonies require ridiculous speeches in front of the whole school, and retirement ceremonies are even more outrageous, making them look like Hall of Famers retiring.

It's a pity that he can't get rid of these two things.

Graduation ceremonies are a must for everyone, especially for retirement ceremonies.

His achievements in Lower Merion are no less than that of Kobe, and the team is preparing to hold a grand ceremony for him.

In July, Wei Xia first participated in the withdrawal ceremony.

The team had reminded him before that the awareness of quitting the team would be very grand.

Yes, it's very grand, but is it really necessary to let all the lower grade students from the whole school come over?

Wish, who was recently elected the 2003 Pennsylvania Mr. Basketball, watched the juniors gather, and the jerks on the team smiled and waited for a joke.

They knew that Wei Xia didn't like being surrounded by people.

Wei Xia originally prepared a large speech, but in front of so many people, he really couldn't read it out like he was practicing with his brothers and sisters at home.

He decided to put away the manuscript, and all the words he said next came from the heart.

"First of all, I would like to thank Lower Merion High School. Only an excellent school can give children the dream of excellence. It gave me a dream of chasing the championship. I am very happy to let the dream come true when I am about to leave."

Applause, a series of applause.

"When I was a member of the reserve team, I watched the main training with other teammates. I remember that it was before the start of the 1999-00 season. We were about to play a game against Hareton High School. The thing I don't like the most about Coach Downer is that he is always too nervous about those weak opponents. We are not Chester High School. How could we be capsized in the gutter?"

There was laughter.

"At that time we saw the main players being drilled and complaining. Dick Long said to me, fortunately I am not the main player, otherwise I would die on the training ground. I remember I told him very loudly that I like this kind of training. I want to be like Kobe Bryant—" boos came.

Not to Wei Xia, but to Kobe.

In the summer of 2003, Kobe was involved in the Eagle County incident that shocked the United States, which not only ruined his personal image, but also shamed his alma mater. The students in the lower grades did not miss the honor that their seniors brought to the school, and only had a strong disgust for him.

Wei Xia understood their reaction, even he couldn't accept that the person he had been a role model since he was a child suddenly became a sexual assaulter.It was from this summer that Kobe changed from a god to a mortal in Wei Xia's heart.

"I remember them laughing a lot, but no one laughs at me anymore. I'm not going to say I'm better than Kobe, but I'm pretty sure I'm not worse than him."

Applause and cheers.

Because Wei Xia's speech at the withdrawal ceremony was too good, it almost emptied his brain.

At the graduation ceremony, his speech took only 5 minutes, and there was no joke. The whole process of the speech was more boring than John Havlicek's speech.

Apparently, knowing how boring his talk was, he cleverly shortened it to five minutes.

If someone can count his speech time, he will find that he really spoke for 5 minutes.

Not one second more, one second less.

When he stepped off the stage, the whole school didn't snub him for giving the worst speech.He still got the biggest cheers and applause at graduation.

Wei Xia's speech made his brother sleepy. After stepping off the stage, his sister gave him a hug.Wei Xia saw his brother get up unintentionally, so he hugged him forcefully.

"This is really the worst speech I've ever heard!" Wei Qiu complained.

"Who said that, it's obviously great!" Mei Chen said proudly.
