Chapter 19 Brothers
兄弟
When Lang Zhi rushed upstairs, he already felt that things should not develop like this. He should face everything calmly like Gao Zhiye, but how should he explain it when he went down at this time, even worse than before? It was difficult to deal with, so he hid on his bed now, with his back to the door, hiding his somewhat bewildered expression.

Downstairs, Shen Qing refused the whole family to go out to eat. The two adults made Lang Zhi's favorite curry rice, and Gao Zhiye brought it up. Door.

But he didn't speak first, he pulled the stool away and sat down, the base of the porcelain plate lightly touched the table, the aroma of curry permeated the whole room, Lang Chi's stomach that was contracted due to tension suddenly screamed , and the sound of Lang Chi's stomach gurgling was the sound of eating curry behind him.

One mouthful, two mouthfuls, Gao Zhiye opened his mouth and let out a few breaths because it was hot.

Lang Zhizui understood that Gao Zhiye would not eat hard and soft, so he just waited for him to open his mouth to say anything, and he could go down the slope, but no, three mouthfuls, four mouthfuls, Langzhi could imagine the appearance of curry collapsing into one piece, 'Damn it, that's my curry, if it's eaten up, how can I eat today'.

If he didn't stop it now, and he didn't want to be hungry, he had no choice but to go down. If he went down, he might have to face two adults.

"Hey, that's my curry!"

Immediately, he saw that more than half of the plate of curry had been eaten, and Takano put a big spoonful of it into his mouth. For a while, he didn't care about his previous tweaks, and rushed to grab the food.

Gao Zhiye let him grab it, and seeing him finish eating in a few bites, he said in a non-negotiable tone: "Lang Zhi, I will give you a seven-day homework, if you can finish it, I will buy you an idol LIVE figure, But if you refuse to finish or don't finish well, then I'll throw all your stuff in the trash."

"Huh?" Lang Zhi, who was still wiping his mouth, was at a loss. He yelled "Who cares about you" in his mouth, but his eyes flickered unsteadily.

Those tasks have not been uttered yet, Lang Zhi has already felt the pressure of Mount Tai, and the broken branches are crumbling and want to fall down again. He thought he had walked out of the influence of bullying, but now facing The threat of a taller person, he had already succumbed in his heart before he even thought about fighting.

Gao Zhiye felt that something was wrong with the short man, and changed the content of the first task: "I have a thousand yen here, as long as you complete the first task, I will give it to you for free. The first task is—— Go down and get some food."

Lang Zhi had question marks all over his face, but Gao Zhiye, who had a dark face, was very scary. He didn't even dare to ask, so he just ran away. Now in his heart, the biggest difficulty has become being in the same room with Gao Zhiye. He would rather go down and face two adults.

"Ah, Langzhi, let me help you refill your meal." The two adults were in the restaurant, and Shen Qing greeted them.

Lang Zhi handed it out habitually, but withdrew it stiffly, and said in a low voice: "No... no, I... just come here, don't move too much... I'm pregnant... .”

At the silent dining table, both Shen Qing and Mr. Sasaki heard it, and watched the child put the meal on the table quickly, and their hearts were at ease.

"I said Takano must have a way." Mr. Sasaki smiled, and he really wanted to use children to deal with children.

Lang Zhi walked up, and through the wide open door, he saw that Takano was no longer there, and there was a thousand yen and a list of tasks scribbled on the table.

The first task: go downstairs to add food.

Second task: Buy mom a pregnancy gift.

The third task: help mother wash the dishes.

The fourth task: When Gao Zhiye proposed to clean up the guest room and arrange the baby room, actively participate in it.

The fifth task: clean the baby room.

The sixth task: clean the courtyard.

The seventh task: Propose to view the pregnancy test report.

The last sentence is "Please complete all tasks within seven days. After completion, you can go to the task issuer to get a Saori figure."

Damn Takano, he used Saori's figurine to seduce me!

In the end, he only dared to close the door heavily, crumpled up the paper with the task list on it, and threw it to the corner of the table.

Hearing the sound of closing the door on the opposite side, Gao Zhiye, who had been pricking his ears, heaved a sigh of relief, thinking about Lang Zhi's eyes showing obvious fear just now, he was a little annoyed, "Mr. Sasaki gave birth to a girl... no, At that time, those people should have been dealt with earlier.”

Therefore, adolescent children are the second most difficult to deal with, and the first is probably newborn children. But after seven months, there will be two annoying children in this house at the same time. What scene is it?
Well, after all, it’s not up to me to worry about it, Gao Zhiye thought very calmly, in the future, that infant child will probably become the core of the whole family. He/she has blood relations with all family members, and is truly and completely belonged to the family. For this family, as for myself, let's hurry up and mature, and start our own life with branches and leaves.

Two days later, Lang Zhi, who carefully observed his stepbrother's movements, felt the unrest under Gao Zhiye's calm appearance.

First of all, he got up earlier for his morning jogs, and the intensity has also increased. Secondly, instead of practicing pitching, he practiced hitting with everyone.

"Mr. Hayakawa, come here." Hayakawa Qiu was surreptitiously pulled aside by Lang Zhi, and told Hayakawa all the abnormalities he had observed recently.

"Gao Jun recently practiced hitting because his straight ball exceeded the coach's expectations. He may start in the second army in the future, so the hitting training must keep up."

"Why I don't know." Lang Zhi's guess these days has been overturned.

"The Second Army has not competed recently, but everyone is making progress silently. In two weeks, the Kanto Conference will be over, and then there will be another invitation for the competition." Hayakawa Qiuyu patted Langzhi's shoulder earnestly, "Sasaki Jun, although I shouldn't say this, you will be guarding your brother's back from now on, come on."

So on this day, after the first army practiced, Langzhi found a place near Gao Zhiye to practice striking.

Takano is cooperating with Shibazaki, Shibazaki feeds the ball, and Takano hits.

"Is there any limited practice ball today?" Shibazaki asked from the side of the block.

"No, Shibazaki-kun, you come and serve yourself the ball, I want to see what I can do."

Shibazaki was not ambiguous. The first ball was a tricky straight ball with a low outer corner. The speed of the ball was not fast, around 127. While waiting for the ball to come to his hand, Takano was thinking in his heart, "Is Shibazaki-kun's straight ball a little faster?" Although His mind was divided a bit in other aspects, and it didn't delay his hitting the ball. The wind caused by the swing brought the ball to the back and hit it quickly. The speed was much faster than when it came, and the ball was hit high and far. Landing on the edge of the field.

"Gao Jun, did you guess the ball?"

"Ah, I was discovered by you. Shibazaki-kun has been practicing tricky outside corner kicks in the bullpen recently. I guessed that your first ball must be shot low outside the corner."

The second ball has a high inner angle and a strange rotation. Gao Zhiye knew that this was a high-speed straight ball. The ball started from the pitcher and reached the home plate. Normally, it should have moved down due to gravity, but this ball did not. The other balls have a normal falling line, but in Gao Zhiye's eyes, it seems to be floating upwards. He knows this is an illusion, but because the high-speed straight ball causes less falling.

The ball was in front of him, Gao Zhiye did not hesitate, his attention was still closely following the ball in milliseconds, and the touch of the bat in his hand gradually faded, as if growing on his arm, an 'illusion'.

The next moment, the bat and the ball collided, and the vibration was transmitted to Takano's whole body. The bat did not disappear, it had already bit the center of the ball, and the ball flew high again until the end of the field.

"Excellent, Taka-kun." Shibazaki knew that this time it was definitely not a successful guessing ball, and even the last successful hit was not a guessing ball. Takano's strike was the same as his pitching, with a beast-like intuition, which made him feel people shudder.

"If you don't hit it, it will become a bad ball." Gao Zhiye said with a smile.

"It's only two balls." Shibazaki turned the ball in his hand and adjusted from the four-seam grip. The index finger and middle finger moved a few seams to the right, and the thumb was directly below the ball. More force.

High speed straight ball?No, the afterimage of the ball rotation is the four seams, but the axis is slightly skewed. Gao Zhiye, who is very familiar with the four seams on the positive axis, found something wrong at a glance. When the ball went to the front of the home plate, the skewed axis With the ball deflected towards Takano's inside corner.

'It's too late to change', Gao Zhiye had already swung out, adjusted his body forcibly, barely hit the center of the ball, this time the landing point was much closer, but he didn't care about it anymore.

"Shibazaki-kun, is this your carter ball?" There seemed to be flames burning in his eyes.

"Ah, I was shot out by Gao Jun. I thought you would be beaten into a ball the first time you saw it."

Shibazaki calmed down when he wanted to show off, "This is a beast, my ball speed is not fast, but I just researched this method of shooting Carter. This is the first time I saw him, so I just played it like this." . . . .Well, it seems that I still have to practice for a while. '

Lang Zhi next to him also exited the batting booth and turned to the block behind Gao Zhiye. He was also very curious about the shot just now.

"Haha, the timing of the change of the ball path is very beautiful. At first glance, it is very similar to the spin of a straight ball, and the speed of the ball is not much different from that of a straight ball." Takano's desire to learn a beautiful change ball at this moment is beyond words, "Shibasaki-kun, How do you hold the ball, teach me how to play."

"The grip of the straight ball is very similar, but you should wait for the coach to allow you to learn the change ball." Shibazaki didn't wait for Takano's next sentence, "The next ball is coming, you can't think about it when you hit it. Throwing things!"

"bump--"

For a full half an hour of batting time, Takano hit almost all of Shibasaki's pitches very well, and Shibasaki's impetuous heart due to progress was also suppressed: "Taka-san, as expected, the speed of the ball is the foundation of everything."

"Yeah, my ball speed is slower than yours, and I can't change the ball. It should be very miserable." Gao Zhiye, who was facing his own pitch today, also felt heavy in his heart.

"Hey, no one cares about these two pitchers duel here, Shibazaki-kun's confidence is going to be knocked out", this is the inner voice of Lang Zhi who stayed behind.

　The mood now is to keep writing, stick to a habit, and finish a novel
