Chapter 10 About the Reasons to Play Baseball
Reasons to Play Baseball
The two downstairs started chatting about homework, Gao Zhiye unexpectedly felt that Hayakawa got along very well, and of course Hayakawa thought so too.

But under the same sky, different people have different destinies. For example, Sasaki Langzhi upstairs, he was confused by a soul question from Coach Ninomiya: "Sasaki-kun, you know that before you came, there were already some people in the team. Six shortstops?"

"I found out during training today." He nodded obediently, not daring to look up, but couldn't help but look at the coach's face.

"That plus you're seven shortstops, what do you think about yourself."

Lang Zhi pondered what the coach meant, put his left hand on his leg, and rubbed his left elbow nervously with his right hand, "Actually—" he answered first, "I'm thinking of switching to second baseman."

As expected, Coach Nigong was taken aback, opened the notebook that had not been touched at the side, and flipped to the blank space: "Why, can you explain it to me carefully?"

"Huh?" I didn't expect to be asked, and messy images kept flashing in Lang Zhi's mind, including what Gao Zhiye said to him just now

"Maybe it's good to talk to Coach Ninomiya", so before he could organize all those scenes, he blurted out: "When I was in the third grade of elementary school, I joined the baseball club——"

Coach Ninomiya was taken aback. He didn't expect him to start from such a long time ago. Although he saw the embarrassment of wanting to swallow it up on the face of the child opposite, he still wrote the time of the conversation and the person's information on the title: "Well, Then what?"

"Joined the baseball club—" Lang Zhi hadn't thought of how to say it, so he had to repeat the last sentence, buying some time to think: "Actually, I didn't want to join before, because my parents had been divorced for a long time at that time. My biological mother never wanted me to see my father very much, so every time during the visiting week, she took me to the chess and card room, played cards by herself, and let me play the game console, but then a classmate told me that if I played baseball , so my dad could find me, and that’s why I joined the baseball club.”

Coach Nigong looked up at Lang Zhi, looked a little more solemn, and nodded twice.

"Sure enough, as he said, the place where I play baseball is very close to my father's clinic, so not only is it a visiting week, but my father will come to see me for training almost every day. I play shortstop because the shortstop player at that time just retired. That's it. For several years, when I was in the sixth year of elementary school, I once fell asleep in the lounge after training, and when I woke up it was very dark, and I don’t know why the door was locked.” Lang Zhi lowered his head to recall, not noticing that Coach Nigong Looking up at him, he seemed to highlight some words.

"I had no choice but to climb out along the window. There was no car at that time. I walked to my father's clinic. Fortunately, someone was there. My father took me back to his house to sleep, because my biological mother had remarried at that time. I often go to my father's side, and she doesn't care about me anymore. In the second semester of last year, I finally officially went to my father's side, and then transferred to Yulan Junior High School to continue playing baseball. The coach asked me where I was, and I only played baseball. I did guerrillas. However, not long ago, for some reason, I actually quit the club, and I didn’t tell my dad. Although he is a bad baseball player, he is a passionate fool at heart. He always hopes that I will play baseball with my later brother. What, I can't say that I have retired, so I have to come here." Lang Zhi secretly looked at Coach Nigong, who was still writing something with his head down.

"Sasaki-kun, just now you said that you want to transfer to second base, but according to your last statement, I can feel that you have already maintained a skeptical attitude towards baseball, right?"

Lang Zhi bowed his head and acquiesced. In fact, he just said to transfer to second base, but he guessed that the coach wanted him to transfer to other places, so he found it on his own.

"Sasaki-kun, I think you have a misunderstanding. Whether you want to play baseball now has nothing to do with whether you played baseball before. I'm going to talk about something medical, Sasaki-kun, people are made up of cells , cells, like all living things, have their childhood, old age and death, so why do people maintain a relatively constant total number of cells with a high probability, because after old cells die, new cells will Come up immediately."

Lang Zhi nodded ignorantly, feeling like he was in a science class.

"Human epidermal cells will be renewed every 28 days. Except for nerve cells, the renewal cycle of other cells in the human body is 120-200 days. So I would like to ask Mr. Sasaki, how long will it take for all the cells in this person's body except for the brain? Will it be updated again?"

Shaking his head, Lang Zhi inexplicably felt a little scared.

"The answer is 6-7 years. When we define a person's death, it refers to the death of a person's body in a universal sense, but in fact, only at the cellular level, a person will experience many 'deaths' in his life, and only the last movement It's just bigger."

Coach Nigong put down the pen in his hand, "Haha, although you are still young, I am already old. The older you are, the more you can feel this truth. So going back to that sentence, you are always The reasons why you deny that you want to play baseball are all the reasons why you chose to play baseball before. In different time periods, people are free. You are free to say that you don’t want to play baseball, but the reasons must be based on you Judging by the current mood, you really don't want to play baseball, not that I played baseball for some reason before, but the reasons for supporting me to play baseball before are gone, so I don't know the meaning of playing baseball now .”

He stretched out his hand and counted: "For example, I wanted to see my father through baseball, but now I can see him every day. For example, I used to play guerrilla because no one played guerrilla. Now too many people play guerrilla so I don't want to." Guerrilla."

"And Sasaki-kun, now you set aside all your previous experiences, and assume that you are just a beginner, as your father said, playing in the same baseball club with your brother, and sharing experiences in the same position with a group of people, Can it attract you?"

Sasaki Langzhi's mind was blank, but his thinking became extremely clear. The silk thread wrapped around his body and the heavy objects tied on it were peeling off little by little. I think of Shen Qing, her face is slowly covering the face of her biological mother. In recent months, the memory of elementary school that used to last for 6 years has been rarely recalled, and the memory has been slowly occupied by another memory. , Every minute and every second of the new life is always clear.

"I think it's pretty good."

Coach Ninomiya lowered his head and continued to write, "Well, then your defensive position is still guerrilla. I think it's too early to discuss the half-year plan as a guerrilla with you. You should go back and think about it first, and adapt to the hard ball with the infield coach. "

After receiving the order to evict the guest, Lang Zhi immediately left on fire, closed the office door, and vaguely heard the conversation below, looking down, it really was Gao Zhiye and Hayakawa.

"Bastard brother——" Now his head is full of the coach's words of "it's too early to talk to you", which makes Lang Zhi feel ashamed and mad, and he doesn't care to stand at the door of the coach's office, yelling.

"Eh?" The two downstairs were startled, looked up together, and saw a short man running down with his mouth covered like a thief.

"Go home!" He rushed to Gao Zhiye with his face flushed, and pulled him away.

Gao Zhiye has long forgotten the words "talking with the coach and you won't think about it" and so on, and his thoughts are all in the score book he said to Hayakawa, but he didn't break free, and he turned around and waved his hands because of the force of being dragged away .

"I'll transfer you a study strategy later." Hayakawa said empathetically behind him.

Grandma Gu Yue at the door watched the two brothers tugging and holding things, and said very relieved: "Are you going home? I'll tell your mother right away."

"Yes, thank you."

"Go home immediately, don't go to strange places."

"Understood, goodbye, Grandma Gu Yue."

After sending off the two brothers, Grandma Gu Yue counted today's roster, "Only Hayakawa-kun is left, is it so late again?"

When I got home, my mother, who was very active, was already packing up the new large refrigerator, and my father, who was driven aside, was sorting out several pages of paper.

"We're back, what is this?" Gao Zhiye leaned over curiously, and found that it was various ingredients classified according to nutritional elements.

"Welcome back, let's go shopping in Yamazaki later."

"Why so suddenly?"

"School will start in one week, and the club has given the nutritional requirements for the school. I haven't made bento yet, so let's use it for experiments this week." Shen Qing's words meant trouble, but her tone was quite expectant.

Unknown Lang Zhi saw Gao Zhiye's shoulder bag slipping from his shoulders, Gao Zhiye said in a rather heavy tone: "It's better not to, it's hard for you to cook those dishes, I can't help it." I don't want to be anorexic."

Shen Qing straightened up confidently: "No, don't worry, I decided to buy a seasoning weighing instrument, and put in strictly according to the grams each time."

"Ah, that's right." Gao Zhiye picked up the bag and walked upstairs absent-mindedly.

Lang Zhi was also full of his own business, and when he came upstairs after taking a shower, he went straight into Gao Zhiye's room.

Gao Zhiye on the bed was learning how to use the score book, so he ignored him.

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

Lang Chi turned the chair to the side of the bed.

"How to use the record book."

"Oh"

Be silent for a while.

"Is the score book interesting?"

"..."

"If you need anything, just say it."

"Well, it's nothing, you just said you want me to talk to Coach Ninomiya..."

"Ah?" Gao Zhiye was about to raise his body to refute, but then remembered that there was indeed such a thing: "Oh, then what?"

"Well... How should I put it, it's decided now, I still want to play baseball. After all, I'm not good at learning, and the only thing I can call good at it is baseball."

"Well, is that right? That's pretty good. Coach Ninomiya is pretty good."

"Well, I heard from my father that he asked Grandpa to contact Coach Ninomiya. He said that they worked together in medical school before. Speaking of which, my classmates in elementary school mentioned that the Kinoshita Little League is very difficult to get into. All in all, since All joined, let’s do it well.”

Gao Zhiye squinted at the boy who was rarely serious, and saw that he was scratching his face and scratching his head unnaturally, so he didn't speak up to him: "Well, that's right, if you have nothing to do, go back to your room quickly .”

"Stingy guy." Lang Zhi got up, and even pulled the swivel chair viciously. The chair turned for many times before it touched the table and stopped, and the door of the short man over there also "touched" closed.

Gao Zhiye looked back at his phone, and his sense of control over his current life reassured him a lot.

'Let's go on step by step, this family still looks very stable'.

　[Preview for the next chapter] Miyuki was not allowed to play in this chapter, and I have to write a pitching test in the next chapter, trying to brush aside and let Miyuki play

　　[Questions in advance] I am afraid that some people will ask "why do you write Langzhi's experience so miserable", the main thing is the sentence in my introduction "a history of rebuilding a family". Behind a rebuilding family, there must be two broken family, as the most vulnerable child, he lived to be 12 years old, and for his 12-year 'life', suffering in about 6 years has accounted for half of his life
　　[Future Family Line Plot] If good memories occupy time, painful memories will take up less and less of his life. This is the truth of "time heals everything". This sentence Should be changed to "Happy Time Heals All"
