> Road to Success Recaps
Lin Wanxing felt she had accomplished something significant and had a great sense of achievement. Wang Fa noticed that Lin Wanxing had changed her idle ways. Lin Wanxing stated that she had to put in an appropriate amount of effort for her ideals. Their attitude toward each other had softened significantly. Wang Fa took it as if Lin Wanxing had forgiven him, but she expressed that they were simply continuing to interact as partners.
Wen Chengye returned home and pulled a badge from his backpack. Looking at the familiar object, he recalled things from the past. Wang Fa called the team members for a meeting. Because the team they were supposed to play the next day, Xinpeng, had a school activity, they were temporarily replaced by Yongchuan Hengjiu. The team members were shocked. The strength of Yongchuan Hengjiu was far beyond that of an ordinary team, with two players even reaching national team standards.
Regarding the chances of winning, everyone looked at Wang Fa. Wang Fa said to let nature take its course and that they should just rest well for now to meet the match in their best condition. Fu Xinshu was preparing to go home when he found that his keychain had vanished. He began rummaging through everything to find it. Another team member dragged him away to eat a late-night snack.
Wen Chengye was the last to leave and saw Fu Xinshu's keychain dropped in the corner of a cabinet. He remembered that when he was hospitalized as a child and had no one to accompany him, Fu Xinshu had pulled him along to play football. The two gradually became good friends, but Fu Xinshu never knew his name. Because his father did not like him, Wen Chengye was unwilling to tell others his name.
After some time, Wen Chengye was about to be discharged. The two were reluctant to part. Wen Chengye explained that next weekend was his birthday. If Fu Xinshu could meet him at KFC, he would tell him his name. In the blink of an eye, the weekend arrived. His father forced Wen Chengye to spend his birthday with his grandparents because they were about to move away from Hongjing.
His mother accused his father of being involved with another woman, and the two began to argue in the car. Wen Chengye got out of the car himself and ran toward the KFC, accidentally falling down on the way. After waiting for a long time at KFC, he did not see Fu Xinshu. Another child was having a birthday, and the family gathered around to sing the birthday song and even shared a piece of cake with Wen Chengye.
Wen Chengye felt even more lonely. Until the KFC closed, Wen Chengye did not wait for Fu Xinshu to arrive. He walked onto the street not knowing where to go. Remembering that his father said he couldn't come home if he was disobedient, Wen Chengye sat alone in the park sobbing. After a while, his father found him and spoke with a tone of reproach.
Returning to the present, Fu Xinshu ran back to the tutoring center to look for his badge. Wen Chengye took out the one he had just picked up and handed it over. Fu Xinshu said it was very important to him. Wen Chengye then took out his own badge. Fu Xinshu confirmed that Wen Chengye was Bed Number Four from their childhood, and his eyes were full of surprise. Wen Chengye asked why he hadn't kept the appointment back then.
Fu Xinshu said he had his own difficulties and could not tell Wen Chengye. The next morning, Lin Wanxing was still worried. Wang Fa said that Yongchuan Hengjiu was the highest-level team in Hongjing, and even if they lost to them, they could still enjoy a hearty match. Before entering the field, they passed the Yongchuan Hengjiu locker room. A player named Qin Qiechu ran out to say hello.
He seemed to admire Wang Fa very much and also knew all the players well, leaving everyone both surprised and confused. The match began, and Yongchuan Hengjiu firmly held the advantage. Before long, they scored two goals in a row. Wen Chengye noticed that the No. 8 Middle School's frontcourt was weak and directly abandoned his position to advance with the ball. It went fairly smoothly at first, but he was tripped by an opposing player near the goal.
The corner kick was then snatched by the opponent, who continued to score with a free kick. Qin Ao was so anxious that he scolded Wen Chengye on the field. Lin Wanxing was also restless on the sidelines. Wang Fa stated that Wen Chengye did not want to cooperate at all, so they were destined to lose the match. During halftime, Qin Ao could not hold back his temper, and the two sides began to bicker.
Wang Fa scolded them for a few words but did not target Wen Chengye. Lin Wanxing handed over some medicine and told Wen Chengye to rest well. In the second half, Yongchuan Hengjiu, with an advantage of seven goals already scored, put great pressure on No. 8 Middle School. Wen Chengye's physical strength had reached its limit. While fighting for the ball, he deliberately collided with Fu Xinshu. Qin Ao was so angry he wanted to fight.
Wang Fa stepped forward to stop him and announced that Fu Xinshu would leave the field, while the rest of the players continued the match. Qin Ao was full of anger. Watching Wen Chengye maneuver in the frontcourt, he simply refused to pass the ball to him. In the end, they were defeated by Yongchuan Hengjiu with a score of 11 to 0.
