On weekends, in the evening, players who have finished their afternoon training go to the cafeteria in twos and threes to eat.
Kōshū stood at the door of Room 4, waiting for the late Lang Zhi.
"Huh-huh-" The figure pointed to the upper floor and rolled around somewhere. Lang Zhi's body was covered in sand and dust.
"Bang -" The door upstairs was closed, and after 5 minutes, it was opened again, and a burst of footsteps came from far to near from the top of the head in a leisurely manner.
"Hurry up! Run!" Kōshū stared at the phone. There were only 15 minutes until the agreed time.
"Dong dong dong", the footsteps finally started running, mixed with the sound of complaints, "Why do we have to make an appointment today? I just finished the game not long ago, and the smell of sweat has not gone away."
The two walked side by side. The taller one kept staring at his phone and didn't pay too much attention to the complaint. "It's okay. There are only girls like your mother and your sister. They won't dislike you."
"Tch, forget it, I'm so hungry." The short one didn't get an answer for a long time, so he pulled the other person's elbow down, "What are you looking at?"
There was a video with a very familiar background. It was in front of the TV at home. A little girl, with her hat hanging sideways on her head, was throwing a soft ball that was a little too big for her into the trash can.
"Ah, Maesuki is pitching."
There is no sound, but the video is very shaking at the end. It can be seen that the mother who took the video was laughing very hard.
"So cute!"
"So--cute!"
The two people said in unison, and walked two minutes faster to Family Restaurant.
Mr. Sasaki and Shen Qing had long said they wanted to make Celebration Banquet, but Kōshū was still busy in the dormitory at that time, and Lang Zhi was also anxious about joining First String, so they could only postpone it until this weekend.
"Wow." Kōshū was walking in front, but as soon as he opened the door, he was shaken back.
Lang Zhi poked his head out and saw the banner hanging at the cashier. "Congratulations to Kōshū for becoming Koshien's semi-winning pitcher."
"Congratulations!" The cashier girl waved to the two newcomers, "You guys have reserved the room today!~"
"Yeah, yeah." Kōshū didn't know what to do, so he just walked in.
But those who heard the young lady at the front desk rushed to the front like cannonballs.
"Brother, brother, brother—" Qianxue bore the brunt and pounced on the two of them, "Wild ball, wild ball!"
This little girl was so crazy that Kōshū almost couldn't hold her.
Then there is Grandpa Sasaki. He is not much better than Qianxue, who is more than one year old. He comes up with a hug and says, "Koshien, thank you for your hard work! Final Battle, until the end, I am really touched by you!"
"Oh, oh, thank you." Kōshū simply couldn't handle it.
Lang Zhi moved his lips next to him, but in the end he didn't say anything, but Grandpa Sasaki gave him a bear hug.
"And you, you're going to form a new team in the fall. Do you have any relevant plans? Next year's Koshien, it's best for you two brothers to go together!"
"Huh? Grandpa, do you think Koshien is the vegetable market at your doorstep?" Lang Zhi hugged Qianxue twice, but the little girl grabbed her collar and sniffed her, "It's so itchy, don't be like this!"
"Brother, it stinks so much!" Qianxue covered her nose.
Lang Zhi, who was about to lean back, immediately brought his neck closer to Qianxue, "This is manly, manly!"
"Hahaha," they said as they walked to the very back. Today at Family Restaurant, there was only one cashier girl at the front desk and the chef. The other employees had already left, so the whole family could laugh happily.
In addition to their usual dishes, there was a cake on another table with a pitcher drawn on it and the words "Koshien is the winner" written below. This family dinner was beyond Kōshū's expectations and was very elaborate.
In the middle, Maexue insisted on performing her own baseball, playing pinball with a baseball bat made of paper shells. The little girl, who is almost one and a half years old, almost looks the same every day, and she is also growing strong. This is especially obvious when compared with You.
"They are obviously twins, are you sleepy now?" There was a lot of noise at the other end of the corridor, but You was squeezed between the two brothers and was about to fall asleep. He crawled over by himself.
"Well, I'm full." When you first look at this child, you may think that he is not as loud and assertive as his twin sister, but after getting along with him for a long time, you will find that his emotions are very stable, and he has almost directly passed the stage of being unreasonable.
"This kid is really easy to take care of," Kōshū and Lang Zhi looked at each other and clearly found that no matter where the adults were sitting at the moment, their attention was drawn to Qianxue in the aisle. Rather than saying that You's mood was stable, it was better to say that his mood was not fully protected.
It is not normal for a child who is not fully developed to behave like an adult.
"You, don't sleep, do you want to play baseball with your brother?" Kōshū winked, and Lang Zhi, who was sitting outside, pulled him into the aisle before You could react.
"Ah?" You was obviously stunned on the spot.
"You two, don't force You, that kid is not as noisy as Qianxue." Shen Qing explained with a smile.
Kōshū crumpled a ball of paper and asked Lang Zhi to stop Qianxue who was rushing towards him after hearing the sound, "You, did you see the trash can far away? Brother can throw this ball of paper directly into it."
"Oh, is the pitcher about to pitch? Qianxue, You, look!" Mr. Sasaki was also cheering next to him.
"Watch it!" Kōshū threw the ball, and the result was that the paper ball was obviously different from the feel of a baseball. It was light and airy. Sometimes the force was strong, and sometimes the force was weak. In short, it took many experiments before throwing it in.
At this time, Kōshū was not the only one playing, everyone took turns to try it.
"Are you still sleepy?" Kōshū squatted down and asked You. He received a heavy shake from the other party. His face was flushed because of the exercise.
"Brother," Qianxue interrupted. She was very dissatisfied with today's situation. She was used to being the center of the family gatherings for whatever reason. "You didn't even hold me on the Ferris wheel today."
She opened her arms in dissatisfaction and asked Kōshū to hold her arms and spin around in circles. This time, You was blocked behind.
You, who finally got attention for once, immediately started crying.
"What's wrong? You You obviously make my mother worry the most. You can't cry at this time~" Shen Qing quickly picked up You who was sitting on the ground and patted the dust back and forth.
"You was the one who sat down on his own, right, brother?" Qianxue didn't cry. Instead, she held her waist and asked her brother to prove it to her.
"Qianxue is also good——"
Except for Grandpa Sasaki, who was still giving a free performance for his granddaughter, the other three men present looked at each other.
Therefore, the human heart is not as good as a scale, and it will always be lower on one side First Year of High School unconsciously.
"Come on, Brother Ferris Wheel, everyone has a chance!"
"Yeah -" Qianxue, whose feet were being turned around, was extremely happy.
"And you, You!" But You seemed like he couldn't bear the exercise, and his body was extremely stiff.
"Then the next step is Lang Zhi!" Kōshū pounced on the boy watching the fun next to him.
"Huh?" Lang Zhi didn't have time to escape. He was trapped from behind, and a pair of hands reached from his armpits to his chest to hold each other. "Brother, the Ferris wheel!"
Unexpectedly, Lang Zhi's feet were now off the ground. The shame and anger he realized later made him yell, "Brother, the Ferris wheel is a ghost! Let me down!!!"
I have only been going to bed early and getting up early for three days, and now I am starting to show signs of delaying going to bed later. The habit is too hard to change.
