In mid-August, the heat is strong.

Tsuruga Lian had just finished shooting a set of shots under the sun, and before she had time to go under the parasol, a small drama director stuffed a newspaper in her hand with a blushing face:

"This is for you, Mr. Tsuruga!"

With a baby face and looking like a girl, but actually two or three years older than Tsuruga Lian, the little drama manager said in a waxy voice. He bowed to him with a straight face, then quickly turned and ran away.

If it wasn't for the fact that Dun Helian had some confidence in her own charm, the back of that fleeing in a panic would have thought that she was some kind of scourge, so frightened the little girl that she would turn around and run away immediately after saying a word.

The national male god, with a wry smile on his face, looked down at the newspaper in his hand and walked under the parasol that belonged to him——

as predicted.

What was published in the newspaper was the result of the Koshien semi-final match that ended earlier today.

"The Rise of the New King——Ming Qing, just one step away from being the champion? ! "

——The extra-large title, the shocking bold font, and the distinctive combination of question marks and exclamation marks at the end are enough to make people feel that the reporter who wrote this report wants to convey and express in the article How information and emotions.

However, after quickly scanning the headlines, Tsuruga Lian put the newspaper aside with a wry smile.

"Obviously, I have never publicly admitted that 'ka sauce' is in Mingqing's team." He sat down in the lounge chair under the umbrella, turned his head, and looked at the crackling computer on the other side. Typing away, he looked like a very busy Mr. Broker: "But why do everyone act as if they have already confirmed this matter?"

And from the day he appeared in Jiashien, whenever there was a Mingqing game, the staff at the shooting site would considerately send him a copy of the sports news of the day as soon as he finished playing, as if he was afraid that he would miss it The result of Mingqing's match was the same.

Of course, Tsuruga Lian is very grateful for everyone's concern, and he really wants to pay attention to the result of Kazuya's game as soon as possible, but at the same time, he must also control himself not to show too obvious attention to Ming Qing, in order to prevent others Confirm the team and even the identity of "ka sauce" from his reaction...

However, after a period of hard work, he found that this did not work.

Ming Qing's game reports will still appear in his hand immediately, and everyone in the crew seems to have become accustomed to his "indifference" to this, and even slightly understand and ridicule, as if they have seen through his disguise...

This made Tsuruga Ren have huge doubts about her acting skills for the first time after becoming "Tsuga Ren"—did he really accidentally leak something...?

She Xing, who was seriously dealing with work, took the time to look away from the computer screen, and glanced sideways at his artist:

"If you want to blame, blame you for being too careless in your words."

He spread his hands.

Tsuruga Lian frowned upon hearing this:

"You mean 'well done'? But..."

That sentence may not necessarily be said to the winner of that game, is it?

It can also be understood that the performance of Chengzan Mingqing's opponent, Heguang Industrial, is a glorious defeat... something like that...

Sakoichi shook his head in response.

"Please, Ren." He looked at Tsuruga Ren with a face of "you are trying to persuade someone to wake up quickly", "If that sentence was said to a friend who was defeated, the expression on your face at that time It’s just too bright.”

"And you yourself understand that the latter explanation is far-fetched, don't you. So admit it."

——Acknowledge that even if you don't want to see such a result, basically everyone can be sure that your childhood friend "ka sauce" is indeed in the Mingqing team...

"……Ugh."

Tsuruga Lian was silent for two seconds, then suddenly sighed deeply.

"I obviously didn't intend to bring trouble to Kazuya..." he sighed.

She Xingyi glanced at him sympathetically, reached out and patted his shoulder:

"It's not that bad... As the most unexpected dark horse in this year's competition, even without your incident, Mingqing and Kazuya-kun may not have received less attention than they do now."

"Also, as long as you don't personally confirm who 'ka sauce' is for a day, the attention will not rise to the level that you don't want to see."

"So don't worry too much. Kazuya-kun can still bear the current level of pressure."

Otherwise, he wouldn't be the one you fancy.

In the end, Sha Xingyi secretly added a sentence in his heart.

Tsuruga Ren nodded silently, unable to distinguish her emotions, and seemed to be persuaded by him.

She Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and turned back to stare at the computer screen in front of him, but his thoughts were no longer on work.

Before LLENN noticed her own mood—or noticed her own mood under the reminder of President Takarata—there was actually a conversation between Shakoichi and President Takada.

"Lian—he is a person who can restrain his emotions very much."

Takada Raleigh, who was dressed in a gorgeous Arabian royal costume and even had a tiger lying on his feet, told the news agency at the time.

"So unless you are a very familiar person, it is difficult to distinguish his true emotions from his constant business smile."

"And presumably after the past few years of getting along, you, Mr. She, have already noticed a little bit."

"Lian...it's hard to really fall in love with someone."

"Maybe he tried hard, maybe those hard attempts were just an illusion made by him unconsciously."

"In short, even though he has had regular girlfriends these years, you still can't feel from him the kind of feeling that you can only feel from someone who is passionately in love, as if every part of your body Every cell is spreading happiness and sweetness, the feeling of being in love and being loved."

"It's not because he can't love."

"It's that...something happened in the past that limited his ability to love."

"It's inconvenient for me to say more about Lian's privacy. However, Lian subconsciously believes that he has lost the qualification and ability to be a lover."

"So, knowing this, Mr. She, you are also surprised, right?"

"Because the ability to love and be loved cannot be sealed absolutely if the subjective consciousness wants to seal it."

"When you meet the right person at the right time, that kind of emotion that is overwhelmingly uncontrollable by absolute reason... Hehe. Even if the self-control is as strong as a lotus, even if you think you have closed all channels Ren, who is looking forward to the possibility of happiness, can no longer force herself to resist anything."

"That's why there was such an astonishing change in him - of course, only in the eyes of those of us who are familiar with him - the change."

"Lian... is he in love with someone?"

"It's just that he is too slow to realize this."

"Although I have been watching him struggling in this dullness, not understanding why he has such feelings and behaviors, and subconsciously attracting all the attention of the other party's every move, there is no way not to care about the other party's every move. It’s fun to say and do, but ah…”

Speaking of this, Takada Raleigh laughed in an extremely wicked and meaningful way.

"Mr. She, don't you think that after Lian realizes his feelings, what kind of reaction will he have, what kind of expression will he show, what kind of choice will he make... Do these seem to be more exciting?"

"Lian is not an idiot."

"Because of being bound by the past, thinking that you don't deserve happiness is nothing more than being young and immature so that you got into a dead end for a while."

"And before that, he really didn't meet anyone who he could fall in love with desperately."

"So do you want to make a bet? Shejun?"

"When Lian realizes her true feelings, you will slowly discover that your impression of 'Tsuga Lian' in the past will slowly...happen because of this clear understanding of your feelings, so that you are not at all. An unimaginable change."

"........."

Sha Xingyi suddenly woke up from the memories of the past.

Beside him, Tsuruga Lian was looking down at something on her phone.

You don't need to look to know that he must be quietly searching for information about Kazuya's game, or he is simply chatting with Kazuya himself by email.

And his actions undoubtedly further confirmed what Takada Raleigh said that day, every sentence and every word accurately predicted the result at this moment...

"As expected of President Takarata..."

She Xing secretly sighed with lingering fear, hesitated for two seconds, but still did not remind Tsuruga Lian to pay attention to restraining his expression - the smile on the corners of his eyes and brows is so obvious that people can see through it at a glance, okay, She Xing shook his head secretly , bowed his head, and continued to do the work at hand.

On the other side, Ren Tsuruga, who was guessed to be chatting with Kazuya, smiled and sent another message——

[So the opponent in the final is the Guangbei Academy you mentioned to me before? 】

Kazuya seemed to be free now, and the message from Tsuruga Ren was almost instantly answered——

[Yes, five-time champion, eleven-time runner-up, once called the "undefeated king" because of his record of winning three consecutive championships, he is the strongest opponent he can meet in the Koshien arena! 】

Sensing Kazuya's excitement, anticipation, and strong fighting spirit almost rushing through the words, Tsuruga Ren couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth:

[Such a strong opponent, but you don't seem to be worried at all, but you can't wait to fight them? 】

【certainly! ] Kazuya returned quickly, 【Just because he is such a strong opponent makes it even worse...worse, my hands are trembling with excitement...don't laugh at me! 】

However, Tsuruga Lian smiled even more after reading this passage.

【How can I laugh at you? Am I such a wicked person?But it's a pity that I can't go to watch your game live. 】As he typed, he really felt a little regretful—even though he didn't really like baseball that much. [But I will silently cheer for you.Do your best, Kazuya!Remember those things you said to me nine years ago?Now is the time to make them happen! 】

After the message was successfully sent, there was no movement for a long time.Thinking and maybe being delayed by something, Tsuruga Lian was not in a hurry.Picking up the script on the table, he began to flip through the next scene to be shot.

On the other side, in the temporary dormitory of the baseball club of Mingqing Academy.

Kazuya looked at the ordinary sentence on the screen, which didn't seem to have anything special, "Now, it's time to make them come true!" For some reason, he felt his heartbeat stall...

"It turns out that I have been looking forward to this game to this extent..."

Raising his hand to cover his chest, he blinked in confusion, and finally attributed his strange reaction to his nervousness and anticipation for the game...
