In this life, we will meet again

Chapter 40 40. It’s not too late for the starting point of your dream (5000+)

A baseball with [-] stitches draws curves in the air smoothly.

With his hand in his pocket, Baiyuan Xianshu subconsciously reached for the key of the bicycle.

The index finger and middle finger pinch the key's edge, as if to confirm the metal touch of the key, and slide along the edges and corners of its shape.

"Yo."

Walking up to Chitose Tetsu and Golan Kaito, Baiyuan Xianshu took the initiative to say hello.

Chitose Toru's expression looked particularly tired, and she turned to look at him in astonishment: "Boyuan, what are you doing in school during the summer vacation?"

"Boyuan." Wulan Hairen also took the initiative to say hello.

He still has a good impression of Baiyuan Immortal Tree, and he learns to be good-looking and not arrogant.

Baiyuan Xianshu walked between the two of them, looked at the other regular players of the baseball club and said, "Some of the seniors are also playing baseball today."

"They said practice doesn't end until you hit a home run." Goran Kaito replied in a nonchalant tone.

At this time, a baseball flew over the heads of the three people. Following the shout of a person in the distance, Wulan Kaito hurriedly ran away to pick up the ball.

Chitose Toru squatted on the ground and looked at the players running the bases and said, "Boyuan, you don't have that many things to do today?"

"Look what you said." Baiyuan Immortal Tree smiled and squatted down next to him, "Where is the coach?"

"In there."

Chitose Toru glanced at a small room made of blue iron beside the playground.

"Let's go then."

"What are you going to do?"

Facing Chitose Toru's confused eyes, Bai Yuan Senshu said: "Of course I want to ask you when you can become an official player. This kind of thing is not decided by the seniors, but by the coach."

After he finished speaking, he waved to Wulan Kaito, who had returned from picking up the ball, and motioned to come with him.

The two of them actually wanted to ask the coach every day when he would become an official player. There were never too many opportunities to ask.

"Golan, how long have you been practicing baseball?" Chitose Toru's eyes crossed the Baiyuan fairy tree and landed on Golan Kaito.

"Started in the third grade of elementary school."

"Oh, almost the same as me."

"When I went to play with Bai Yuan before, he told me about you."

Chitose Toru smiled at Baiyuan Fairy Tree in surprise: "Really? Am I also "that person" in your mouth, Baiyuan? "

"Maybe the 'that person' in my mouth is not a compliment. " said Baiyuan Immortal Tree.

The three of them walked towards the small blue room while chatting. There was a small sign on the door saying "Outdoor Football Department Supervision Room".

The door is open.

When you walk in, you will see white but dull ceramic tiles, fluorescent lights fixed on the ceiling, classroom sliding doors, and tables with student graffiti.

The only thing that stands out is that in the glass display case against the wall, there are medals obtained by the baseball club from previous games. There are not many, but they are all clean and tidy.

The coach wearing a baseball cap is sitting in a chair, holding the "squad list" in his hand.

When he saw Baiyuan Xianshu and the others coming in, he put down the list, picked up the coffee on the table, and turned around with his legs crossed.

"What's wrong? Do you have any questions to ask me?"

Baiyuan Xianshu didn't know much about the situation in the department, so he raised his hand and pulled Chitose Tetsu's clothes.

Chitose Toru received the message and was about to speak when he was overtaken by Golan Kaito.

"Well, Coach Hase! Although my number is 21! But I hope to have the opportunity to play! This is my dream! And"

His voice was so bold that one couldn't help but worry that the medals in the glass display case would crack.

Coach Hase raised his hand slightly, put down the cup and said, "Okay, I know what you want to say, but judging from the current situation, I have no intention of letting you play."

"."

"."

As soon as Coach Hase finished speaking, Kai Goran and Tetsu Chitose looked at each other.

The heat from the sweaty two could even reach the level of a home run, but under the blessing of the heat, they still didn't dare to say a word.

Because in baseball, the coach’s word is absolute.

"Why?" Baiyuan Immortal Tree is not from the baseball club.

Coach Changgu's eyes fell straight on Baiyuan Xianshu, folded his arms and said, "Who are you? Are you here to join the club?"

"My two friends can only work as handymen here. I am a handyman who can only work as a handyman." Baiyuan Xianshu said with a self-deprecating smile.

Coach Changgu could naturally hear Baiyuan Immortal Tree's ridicule and didn't look at them much.

"Then if you have nothing to do, go out and close the door, sand and dust will fly in."

Baiyuan Immortal Tree took a short breath and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know if your method of guidance is correct or not, and I don't know if you want to play dirty. I just hope you can give them an explanation."

"Explain? What explanation do you want?" Coach Hase frowned.

Chitose Tooru couldn't bear the coach's gaze. He blushed and tried to pull Baiyuan Xianshu away, but he was pulled back by his reaction force.

"As a thug, Chitose's strength is definitely among the best in the club. Please tell me the reason for letting him go."

Baiyuan Xianshu's words without beating around the bush made them all stunned. Chitose Tetsu also stopped subconsciously, and he also wanted to know why.

He did his best for baseball and wanted to dedicate his entire life to baseball.

Coach Hase wriggled his tongue half a circle along his teeth, his chest was slightly swollen and he said, "I know Chitose is very good, and I also recognize Golan's ability as a catcher."

"Why then?"

"When all the third-year students retire, your two names will naturally be on the official player list."

Coach Hase hesitated for a while, then touched his chin and said,
"The current strength of the team is not considered strong. The third-year students are not very serious about baseball, but they are surprisingly "loyal." If there are fewer people, they will not be able to participate in the game. "

After listening to his words, Baiyuan Xianshu roughly understood what Coach Changgu meant.

If first-year players such as Toru Chitose and Kaito Goran are allowed to play as official players, the third-year players will withdraw from the team out of "loyalty", and by then there will not be enough people to join the team, and they will not even be able to play the game.

Baiyuan Xianshu thought it would be enough to eliminate the three-year-old violence, but he didn't expect that it was a problem of numbers.

"What's this! Do you want me to wait for a year?!" Wulan Hairen's dark face turned red.

Coach Hase said calmly: "It doesn't matter where the entrance is, as long as the result is what you want."

Wulan Hairen couldn't hold it back: "What nonsense is this!"

"Who are you talking to in this tone?" Coach Hase frowned dissatisfied.

"Excuse me for disturbing you, coach."

The Baiyuan Immortal Tree pulled Chitose Tetsu and Wulan Hairen out.

It's not that he can't understand Coach Hase's thoughts. Only when the players unite as one can the team's strength increase.

Some things cannot be solved immediately by just talking, but only by time.

"Cough~~Bah!" Wulan Hairen spat on the ground and said dissatisfiedly, "Does he mean to let me do odd jobs for a year!"

In comparison, Chitose Toru was much calmer.

"It's okay, I can wait." He said softly, "I want to climb up from the bottom and scare everyone's courage."

"Oh oh oh, this sentence is very similar to that of the male protagonist of a light novel." Baiyuan Senshu smiled and patted his shoulder, and then said to Golan Kaito, "Go Golan, let's go to Chitose's house to fight." Electric, no more practice today!”

Chitose Toru's matter is not over yet. Today I just got a rough idea. Bai Yuan Senshu's goal is to allow him to become an official player without being bullied.

call out--!
At this time, a baseball hit by the wind, almost flying past Chitose Toru's eyebrows, which made people tremble with fear.

"Hey! First-year students! Pick up the baseball!" In the rest area, a boy holding a baseball shouted towards us.

Wulan Kaito quenched his saliva and said, "It's Maezawa-senpai."

Chitose Tooru turned around and ran to pick up the ball. After picking it up, he almost ran over.

Maezawa-senpai's expression became visibly vicious, and he stabbed him in the chest with a baseball bat: "Toru Chitose?"

"Yes!" Chitose Tetsu stood at attention and shouted.

He raised his hand and slapped Chitose Tetsu's ears with increasing force.

"Where did you go just now? Didn't you pick up the ball properly? Is the coach your mother? Looking for him to drink milk?"

A harsh "pop" sound, accompanied by rude words, hit Chitose Tooru's body. His body trembled slightly and reacted in fear.

"Yes! I'm sorry!" Chitose Toru shouted.

Maezawa-senpai looked at Goran Kaito again and said dissatisfiedly: "You also went to the coach to drink milk?"

"No," Wulan Hairen said with his head lowered.

"Maezawa, you have such a bad temper that you scared them."

Senior Ixiu walked over with a smile, took the baseball from Toru Chitose's hand, and aimed the ball at his forehead.

With a bang, the ball hit his forehead and bounced back. Jing Xiu caught it immediately.

"Oh do~~~Chitose, I didn't bring your umbrella today. Can I return it to you another day?"

"Yes, yes."

Chitose Toru stood straight on the spot, not daring to raise his hand to rub his forehead.

Baiyuan Xianshu could smell the cigarettes on the two of them from the very beginning, and he could still see a photo of underwear on the chair.

Smoking, bullying, and sexual fantasies about women. Compared with these disorder and clutter, baseball on the field is so pure.

This magical reality is quite exciting, but it is quite interesting. Baiyuan Immortal Tree couldn't help but laugh.

"Ah? Did you laugh just now?" Senior Maezawa's expression was still ferocious as he walked towards the Baiyuan Fairy Tree in one step or two.

"I'm sorry, senior, have you ever seen the lights on the streets turned on during the day?"

"What did you say?"

Baiyuan Immortal Tree responded with a chuckle: "I think it's quite magical."

"Do you want to fight with me?" Senior Maezawa picked up his collar and shouted angrily. "How could that be? I'm just looking down on you."

Senior Jing Xiu came over to dissuade him and said, "Be careful in this school. Your name is Baiyuan Immortal Tree, right? A first-year student must have the consciousness of a first-year student. Don't be too old or too young."

Baiyuan Xianshu grinned and said with a smile: "The consciousness of a third-year student is to use violence to push the juniors on the bench, and then smoke and read pornographic books here? This kind of consciousness is really impossible."

At this moment, the expression on Senior Jingxiu's face suddenly became stiff, and his eyes were as wide as a Noh mask at a temple fair.

"I'm talking to you seriously! Are you kidding!" He stepped forward and yelled loudly, and Baiyuan Immortal Tree's brain ached with pain as he flicked his tongue.

Chitose Toru and Golan Kaito hurriedly pulled the three people away.

This place can be clearly seen by the supervision room. Whoever strikes first will definitely be at fault. An abnormal sense of tension dominates this space.

In the end, it was Chitose Tetsu and Golan Kaito who pulled Baiyuan Xianshu away. Those two people were not forced to stay because they were in school.

"Bo Yuan, what are you thinking? It's better now." Chitose said, holding her forehead as if she had a headache.

The Baiyuan Immortal Tree stretched out his hand and used "Serious Shot" on Chitose Tetsu's forehead.

"Do you understand that you were bullied? What do you think of me?"

Seeing him being bullied, a restless feeling spread all over his body like vines. Baiyuan Xianshu felt that it was stupid to swallow his anger.

Chitose Toru was silent for a while and then said, "I mean, wouldn't they be targeting you?"

"Let me tell you, you probably care about my feelings and don't want to drag me into it." Baiyuan Immortal Tree raised his hand and scratched his hair, "It sounds a little disgusting, but what makes me sad the most is being excluded by you."

Chitose Toru was stunned, and after a long time he said in a joking tone: "Boyuan, what are you talking about? I don't want to be your bride."

"Don't say such things, a corner of my heart has started to imagine without knowing it." Baiyuan Immortal Tree choked back.

"Look at how relaxed you two are and how joking you are." Golan Kaito said, "You should see the bosozoku passing by the school every day. They know each other."

"We know each other. If you dare to mess with me, I will unload their wheels if I am in a bad mood!" Baiyuan Immortal Tree said with a smile.

This will happen sooner or later, but it's not just as simple as removing the wheel.

He was not joking. If he wanted to live in harmony with someone like Maezawa-senpai, the only way was to prove that he was stronger than him.

And there is only one way to prove this kind of person who is outside the rules——

violence.

"That's really impressive! I heard that the people they shouted could surround the entire Odawara City!" Toru Chitose felt that he could boast to the sky.

"You can tell! Do they know how old Odawara is!"

"Is 100 people enough?"

"Take a good look at the map when you have time, idiot."

◇

The two baseball handymen were afraid of fighting if they stayed, so the three returned to Chitose Toru's house to play video games.

Baiyuan Fairy Tree waited until the sunset appeared outside the window before bidding farewell to the two of them and going home.

The tinkling sound that passed through his ears was the sound of swaying wind chimes, the pungent smell of the swimming pool came from the children passing by him, and the dragonflies passing by were talking about summer happiness.

Baiyuan Immortal Tree touched his cheek and found that it was already slightly hot.

"I'm back~~"

Telling herself that she has returned home with a tired voice, Michelle Baiyuan is preparing dinner in the kitchen.

The hatchet struck the chopping board, the boiling water boiled, and the pot lid danced.

"Welcome back, where did you go today? Did you have fun?"

"It's not bad. I took the time to save a world."

"What saves the world?"

When Baiyuan Xianshu was washing his hands in the bathroom, his mother's confused voice came.

"Electric."

"By the way, I happened to meet Grandma Yaoai in the supermarket. She said that you like to drink the rice field duck soup that you have been cooking all afternoon. If you want to drink it, mom will buy it tomorrow."

"okay."

Baiyuan Xianshu thinks the rice field duck soup is really delicious.

"Also, you need to dry out the quilt more these days, otherwise it will be easy to get wet."

The mother said something else immediately, but Baiyuan Immortal Tree ignored it.

After eating the meal prepared by my mother, I leisurely soaked in the bathtub and relaxed my brain.

All he can do now is to ensure that Chitose Toru will not be bullied, that his studies will improve steadily, and that he will try his best to enter the same high school as himself.

Students entering high schools are usually screened, and coaches only focus on strength rather than grade, so the starting point for entering Koshien is higher.

But now, I have to wrong him a little bit.

"Well, the world of innocent fantasy is much gentler than the real world."

Baiyuan Xianshu buried his head in the water. All he can do now is share the pain with Chitose Tetsu, and in the end smile towards a new tomorrow.

Fortunately it's not too late.

It's still warm outside.

The sea breeze from Xiangmo Bay was floating around a few hours ago, and now the familiar smell of country dust hit my nostrils.

chirping——

Only the chirping of insects makes people feel a little chilly.

beep-

The phone vibrated briefly, notifying that there was news.

I picked up my phone and took a look and found it was "Cangshan Beauty"——

"Nomura-sensei, the schedule to go to Fujisawa has been fixed, can we go here on July 21st? Try to come back before the event at Odawara Commercial Street."

Baiyuan Immortal Tree replied directly "Yes".

When I pressed the "Return" button, the name "Kurosawa Shake Ai" appeared in the contact on the screen.

"Kurosawa shakes love.?"

Baiyuan Xianshu couldn't help but murmured it. Speaking of which, he had said that he would call her tonight.

Unable to ignore the name, Baiyuan Xianshu made a call.

It rang for nearly 40 seconds and no one answered.

"Go to sleep?"

Baiyuan Xianshu glanced at the screen, then remembered what she had said in the morning, and hesitantly dialed again.

This time he was picked up within two seconds——

"It seems you really want to chat with me."

A light and cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone, it was Kurosawa's voice.

Baiyuan Immortal Tree sighed and said, "Well, I told you I would call you today."

"Oh just today?"

"It depends. Are you busy?"

"No, I'm blowing in the wind on the wooden porch, how about you."

"I was blowing air on the balcony." Bai Yuanxianshu answered her in as cheerful a tone as possible, "I played video games for half a day, and took a bath after dinner at home."

"Then what are you having for dinner?"

“Traditional omelette rice.”

"What? I should be able to cook that too."

Upon hearing this, Baiyuan Immortal Tree turned around and leaned on the armrest with one arm and said with a smile: "Gao Ye, I find it surprisingly difficult."

"Are you looking down on me more and more?!" Kurosawa's tone sounded a little angry.

"No, you are Miss Kurosawa."

At this time, I heard the wind blowing the jingle of bells hanging on the eaves over there.

"Then what fun can you tell Miss Kurosawa?" Kurosawa asked.

"."

"What's wrong with you? Have you been bullied?"

"You are the only one who can bully me, right?"

"if not?"

Listening to her natural words, Baiyuan Xianshu couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then he secretly told Kurosawa what happened with Chitose Toru today.

"What a bunch of bottom bugs."

Hearing what Kurosawa said, Baiyuan Xianshu, who was already a little excited, calmed down unconsciously, and could hear his own gentle inhalation.

Getting the words out is inexplicably comforting.

"Isn't it hard to be bullied?" Kurosawa asked.

"Well, it's a little uncomfortable." Baiyuan Immortal Tree was smiling when he said this.

"Then I. Wait, mother? Uh, no, no one. I'm talking to myself."

Kurosawa's slightly panicked voice came from the phone, and then the call was hung up.

She didn't understand what was happening over there, but Baiyuan Fairy Tree still said good night to her name.
