The night is still young, the dream is not awake

Ai was actually faster than Wei Xiaoan, she hurried out with the kettle in her hand, Che also saw Li Ai asking in bewilderment like this

"Why did you rush out so quickly?"

At the same time as he finished speaking, Che also shifted his eyes from watching Li Ai leave to Wei Xiaoan, his face was full of doubts, and Wei Xiaoan was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she just shrugged her shoulders to express that she didn't know, I took the water bottle and walked out.

Originally, Wei Xiaoan thought that she would not see Li Ai after she went out, but unexpectedly Li Ai stood outside the door waiting for him obediently like a puppy, but when she saw him, she shyly turned her face away and looked at the floor. whispering

"Let's go! Go get some water!"

On this journey, the two of them were embarrassed and did not speak. The embarrassment this time is different from the embarrassment of the previous quarrel. This time it is embarrassing with a little ambiguity.

Li Ai couldn't stop thinking about the scene just now, as long as Che didn't come in just now, would they kiss?

Wei Xiaoan also thought about the scene just now, but his mood was more complicated. She couldn't understand why she had the urge to kiss. The moment Sakaguchi opened the door, her heart felt more relieved than a sigh of relief. Most of them are feelings of loss and regret. Could it be that he has fallen in love with Li Ai?Is this love?Or is this just lust?

Before entering the discussion room after filling the water, Li Ai finally mustered up the courage to ask about the scene just now

"Xiao'an! That just you...didn't you..."

The trembling tone, the intermittent words, the clenched fists, the eyes that dare not look at each other but only dare to look at the floor, everything hints at Li Ai's nervous mood now, and Li Ai finally had the courage to look up when she was about to finish speaking Look at Wei Xiaoan, but she was interrupted by Wei Xiaoan before she finished speaking

"I just saw that your face was red and I wanted to measure your temperature! It's not interesting! Go in! I'm going to have lunch after half an hour of reading!"

Hearing this made Li Ai feel lost. It turned out that she was thinking too much. Afterwards, whether she was eating lunch or studying, Li Ai seemed very depressed, and Wei Xiaoan didn't look very good either. reading is over

During this period, Che was not a piece of wood either, he had known for a long time that something was wrong with them, after all, Li Ai had been weird since he filled the water, and not only Li Ai was weird, but Wei Xiaoan was also weird, since that time the two of them hadn't seen each other. After the heated conversation, when returning home, Wei Xiaoan was picked up by their car, as if he was going to attend someone's birthday party, so Toruya and Li Ai were left on the way back

Li Ai's low air pressure throughout the whole journey, even after Wei Xiaoan was picked up by his family, the air pressure was still low, which made Che a little unbearable and said

"Hey! Don't be unhappy! How about we go to the batting field?"

As soon as Li Ai heard that it was the strike field again, she suddenly exploded and said

"Don't go to the batting field anymore! Saying I can't play baseball again! Go to the batting field!"

This sudden anger made Che also a little scared, but he also quickly responded and said in a low voice

"If you don't go, you won't go! Why are you so fierce! It's weird! I didn't provoke you! If you don't go, I will go myself!"

Later, when Che also sent Li Ai to the door and was about to leave, he was stopped by Li Ai and said

"That! Sorry!"

Li Ai knew that she had vented her anger on Tetsuya!Recently, Li Ai seemed particularly irritable because she could gain as much as she could lose. She lost her temper at him even though she knew it was not his fault. She also reflected on the last way, so she said Sorry, I thought Toru would not forgive me for quarreling like I did when I was a child and didn't speak for three days, but it was still too long since we saw each other. He not only forgave himself quickly, but also said with a smile on his face

"If you feel really sorry, take me to the batting field! Let's go! Let's go to the batting field together! Playing balls really vents!"

After hearing this, Li Ai brought Che to the batting field. After all, I went there yesterday in reality, so the road is very familiar. After arriving at the batting field, Li Ai did not dare to swing the bat like in reality, but was very clean. Swinging the baseball bat sloppily, but as others said, the posture is [-] points but the hit is [-] points, and he didn't hit a single ball. Toruya, who was watching from the side, showed an admiring expression

"The pitching machine has sixteen balls in one round, and you can still hit it all without hitting it once! It's amazing!"

"I want you to manage! Anyway, I can't hit it!"

"Then stop playing! I just saw a game of throwing Jiugongge outside! Let's go and play!"

After talking, Che also brought Li Ai to the night market to play Jiugongge pitching. After paying Li Ai to throw twice, Li Ai only threw one heavy ball, and the others were not heavy. go on and say

"Get out of the way! I'm coming!"

As expected of a former baseball pitcher, the accuracy of pitching is 100%, and he throws nine balls and nine balls with full weight. Even the boss was shocked and said

"Brother, you are here to steal money! This big doll bear is for you, stop playing! I will lose money!"

Although Toruya didn't know what the boss was talking about, he still accepted the teddy bear with a smile and gave it to Li Ai and said

"This bear is too pink! Pick it up and give it to you!"

Li Ai curiously asked again what she had asked in reality

"Toruya-kun! Why did you quit the baseball team?"

Sakaguchi Toru also smiled when he heard that.

"You know I quit baseball?"

"When you transfer to this school, it's like quitting the baseball team! Why did you do this when you were young and wanted to be a pitcher?"

Toru also said with a wry smile after hearing that

"I can't be a pitcher anymore! I hurt my shoulder in the first two months because I was hit by my mother's vase!"

"Auntie? But why?"

"Li Ai! My parents are divorced! I chose my father, so I came here with my father! They have been arguing for a long time, and the quarrel between my parents has never stopped since my second year of junior high school. Every time I come back from club activities, my mother Always crying in the room, frantically flipping through things at home after crying, she always felt that her father was having an affair!"

"Auntie? But why do you think so?"

"One time my father went to a class reunion, and my mother saw cards written by other girls in my father's pocket. Everything has changed since that time! As long as my father said that he would come back late, my mother would be suspicious. You know how I grew up. Very much like my father, once I guess she got drugged and unconscious and confused me with my father, she kept punching and kicking me, saying why did you do this to her, and even threw a vase at me! That's when she I personally ruined my pitching road! I kept thinking that if I resisted at that time! But I didn't resist! Because she is my mother! I am afraid of hurting her and want to say let her vent it. Alright! I really didn't expect that she would hit me with a vase!"

Li Ai silently listened to Toruya's words. She didn't know what to say. After all, it was very different from what she knew. My aunt lived next door to her grandmother. When they came back to reunite, the Sakaguchi family that Li Ai saw at that time was a very happy family. The cousin was very gentle and gentle, just like Yamato Nadeko. The cousin was not only a good husband but also a good father. Playing the game of throwing and catching the ball, and telling Che how to pitch fast, the cousin always hoped that Che can also be a professional baseball pitcher to achieve his unfinished goal when he was young. Li Ai didn't know that after he left Everyone has changed so much, Toru can't even pitch, let alone himself, my cousin must be very disappointed too!

Seeing Li Ai who was speechless, Toru also wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he said with a smile

"Actually, it's not impossible. I can shoot from the left but I'm too tired! And I don't know if it's too late to practice now, or if I can practice. After all, I'm not Shigeno Goro, and at that time I was also thinking about why I like playing baseball. Or was it only because my father wanted me to play! To be honest, I was a little sad when I knew I couldn’t pitch, but I was more relieved. I don’t know if my father noticed it, but after knowing After I injured my right hand and couldn't throw fastballs, he didn't show any disappointment. Instead, he quickly went through the divorce procedures and told me that he was going to be transferred. He originally wanted me to stay at my grandmother's house and continue my studies, but I didn't. I came to another place without hesitation. I want to see the world and think about what I really want to do without baseball! Of course, everyone in the club keeps telling me to go back and say that I can’t apply for other positions. With such a mood, I am not qualified to continue fighting for Koshien with everyone, and I always feel that it is insulting everyone's determination and hard work!"

"But Toruya-kun obviously practiced hard, didn't he?"

"Everyone has practice. In fact, the alternate players don't necessarily put in less effort and practice than the regular players! It's just that sometimes luck, talent and timing are really needed! Besides, I don't think it's It's not a question of practice but a question of mentality!"

"Totsuya-kun, didn't you have fun when you were playing baseball?"

At this time, Toru also remembered the past, and he couldn't help but shed tears and said with a smile.

"Of course I did! No matter if you strike out, when you throw more balls than your own record for the first time, when you develop a new changeup ball with everyone, when you hit a home run, when you steal a base, the best thing really is. It’s time to win with everyone!”

"That's it! At that time, I think we were a little too concerned about whether it was a matter of our own will. Sometimes even if it was not our own will, we still enjoyed it in the process and let this matter become our own. Isn’t the goal? Just like Toruya-kun may not like baseball at first but play baseball because of his cousin’s expectation, but between
