Su Qing and his companions ultimately found a total of 4 baseballs outside the stadium. Besides the one in left field that could be confirmed as Su Qing's first home run, the second home run ball was impossible to identify. In the end, Su Qing took all four baseballs back, of course, the one in left field was wrapped separately, he couldn't afford to mix it up again, or he'd have no place to cry.

Su Qing finished his ice compress on the bus, and it was already very late when he returned to school. The thought of having classes the next day made Su Qing feel extremely miserable.

In the evening, little Tada came to find Su Qing for extra training as usual, but this time he was directly rejected by Su Qing. He was truly exhausted after a whole day, and any more training would really kill him!

In the end, Tadano Itsuki left feeling very disappointed.

Back in the dormitory, his roommates had already returned, and Narumiya Mei had even climbed onto his bed, though he wasn't lying down, but sitting on the bed looking down, with a sense of superiority and dominance.

Seeing Su Qing enter, Narumiya Mei spoke:

"The owners of the extra baseballs have almost been found. Today we were the first team to play on that field, which means the baseballs were likely left over from yesterday. And the teams that played on this field yesterday were Seido and Yokogaku. And no one from Yokogaku hit a home run."

"Oh~ is it Yuuki Tetsuya's?"

Su Qing asked back, in his opinion, the ball was likely hit by Captain Tetsuya, but who hit the other ball?

Narumiya Mei didn't reply, turning his face away in a huff.

Judging from Narumiya Mei's reaction, Su Qing felt that he knew who hit the other ball.

At this time, Carlos spoke:

"It was hit by Seido's catcher Miyuki Kazuya and another player named Chen Xin. This Chen Xin is a freshman like you, also uses a wooden bat, and like you, is also a foreigner. The most coincidental thing is that he also hit Yokogaku's Ace's fastball on the first pitch! There are really a lot of monster rookies this year." Carlos sighed at the end.

"Yeah, I heard that Seido also has a monster pitcher, named Furuya Satoru, his ball speed is a little slower than Su-chan, 150km/h, which is also amazing."

!!!!!

Originally, Su Qing's attention was on that Chen Xin who suddenly appeared, whose name he had never heard of, but he was directly broken by Shirakawa's Su-chan.

Su Qing noticed Shirakawa's accent, what he called was actually Su-chan, which translates to Little Su!!!

"Cough cough cough!"

"Su-chan, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, you can actually just call me by my name."

Su Qing didn't expect Shirakawa, who looked so aloof, to be the most mischievous.

"Calling you directly by your name isn't intimate enough, and your name is so short, it's hard to say, should I call you Qing or Su? After thinking about it, it's better to call you Su-chan."

"Yes, yes, Su-chan sounds so much better."

Narumiya Mei, sitting on the bed, echoed loudly, and then the whole dormitory laughed.

Su Qing knew that he couldn't change his fate of being called Su-chan, so let them call him that, in college, his teammates also loved to give him nicknames, which were much more excessive than this, what's the big deal.

The key is still that Chen Xin.

Su Qing had indeed heard of the name Chen Xin, but it was in his previous life, and every time his teammates mentioned this name, he would grit his teeth in hatred.

Chen Xin, his old opponent, and also the hitter he was most troubled by, he was simply his natural enemy! The first home run he gave up in the Major League was hit by him, and he also ruined his perfect game.

Of course, Su Qing also sent him quite a few strikeouts, in short, the duel between the two, either he was out or he was hit, there was no walk! He, Su Qing, would rather be replaced by the coach immediately than intentionally walk Chen Xin!

The love-hate relationship between the two was famous throughout the Major League, because they were too "well-matched". No matter how the contracts went, they were always on teams in the same division...

Not long after Su Qing retired due to injury, Chen Xin also retired.

Su Qing didn't know how Chen Xin's life was after retirement, because he had transmigrated here not long after his own retirement. But thinking about it, Chen Xin should have a good chance of entering the Hall of Fame. After all, that guy won a bunch of Gold Gloves, while Su Qing was just a little short.

His entire career was a struggle with injuries, far more fragile than Chen Xin. He was already satisfied that the team retired his jersey. After all, he had mixed in a few years of garbage contracts.

So, is it you?

"Su Qing, are you okay? If you don't like this nickname, we won't call you that."

Shirakawa, who was closest, was the one who noticed that Su Qing wasn't speaking and his face was full of sadness. He thought that the nickname he gave him had hurt his feelings, so he quickly wanted to make amends.

"I'm fine, I just remembered some past events. It's not because of the nickname. My former teammates also liked to give me nicknames, I don't mind."

"What, what? What kind of nicknames did they give you?"

Narumiya Mei immediately became excited.

"Hmph, I won't tell you!"

Su Qing knew exactly what Narumiya Mei was up to, and he wouldn't let him succeed!

He felt that his mentality had become much younger again. It's good to have partners.

After entering the professional world, there were no close partners besides family members, because you never knew when the partner you just made would be sold by the team, or you would be sold.

Although the teammates ate and drank together, and bought things together, they always felt very distant.

Unlike now, high school is really good.

Su Qing smiled brightly. Having lived a lifetime again, he must once again feel the joy of playing baseball, anyway, he has plenty of money now.

"Captain."

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Can I trouble you to help me investigate that Seido player named Chen Xin? This name is very familiar to me. I met a batter with this name when I was playing abroad before, so I want to confirm whether he is the person I know."

"Okay, I'll have the people in the team responsible for collecting information keep an eye on it for you. They should have recorded yesterday's game, after all, it's a game against Seido."

"Thank you, Captain!"

"It's nothing. Oh, right, I also have something I want to talk to you about. Forget it, it's already late now, let's talk about it during training tomorrow. Everyone, go to bed early, we still have classes tomorrow."

As the captain, Harada was full of majesty. Shirakawa and Carlos put down what they were doing and climbed into their beds. Su Qing also climbed up. Harada saw that everyone was in bed and then turned off the lights.

Lying in bed, Su Qing's mind was still full of thoughts:

Is it you, Chen Xin?
