第112章 "Stormy Reunion"

**Chapter 112: The Uninvited Guest**

Lin Feng's eyes locked onto Wen Xiyue's, the tension between them palpable. The old wounds, the unspoken words, and the unresolved conflicts all came flooding back. Wen Xiyue's unexpected visit had stirred up a storm of emotions within him.

"I thought you'd moved on," Lin Feng said, his voice low and even, but his eyes betraying his true feelings.

Wen Xiyue's expression remained impassive, but a hint of sadness crept into his eyes. "I tried to, but I couldn't. I kept thinking about what could've been if you hadn't...left."

Lin Feng's gaze faltered, and he looked away, trying to process the sudden invasion of his past. The pain of their broken friendship still lingered, like an open wound.

"What do you want, Wen Xiyue?" Lin Feng asked, his tone terse, but his heart heavy with regret.

Wen Xiyue took a step forward, his eyes burning with determination. "I want to help you, Lin Feng. I want to help you reclaim your basketball career, to make up for lost time."

Lin Feng's eyes snapped back to Wen Xiyue, a mix of emotions swirling within him. He was torn between gratitude and wariness, between the desire to forgive and the fear of being hurt again.

"I don't need your help," Lin Feng said, his voice firm, but his eyes revealing his doubts.

Wen Xiyue's face fell, and for a moment, Lin Feng saw a glimmer of the old Wen Xiyue, the one who had been his closest friend.

"Fine," Wen Xiyue said, his voice cold and detached. "But know this, Lin Feng: I'll do whatever it takes to help you achieve your goals, even if it means going against my own conscience."

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed, a sense of foreboding settling in the pit of his stomach. He had a feeling that Wen Xiyue's intentions were not as pure as they seemed, and that their complicated past was about to collide with his present like a stormy weather.

As the two former friends stood there, the air was thick with tension, the weight of their unresolved conflicts hanging precariously in the balance. Lin Feng knew that he had to tread carefully, for he was skating on thin ice, and one misstep could lead to catastrophic consequences.

The silence between them was oppressive, punctuated only by the ticking of the clock in the hallway. Lin Feng's eyes never left Wen Xiyue's, as if daring him to make a move, to tip the scales of their complicated relationship.

And then, suddenly, Wen Xiyue turned and walked away, leaving Lin Feng to ponder the true meaning of their unexpected reunion...
