Ke Xue: The thief Cao is actually myself

Chapter 615: The experts have always been hidden ~ (asking for monthly tickets!)

Hearing what Nakamichi Kazushi said, Omura Jun kept walking and replied without turning his head: "I'm going to the bathroom!"

Nakamichi and Zhi frowned slightly and looked up at everyone.

At this moment, the billiard hall was still bustling with activity. Ayashiro Yukio and Mori Kogoro were still discussing the previous game enthusiastically. The two of them were talking to each other, demonstrating their batting movements from time to time, with blushes of excitement on their faces and their eyes full of anticipation for the next duel, as if they couldn't wait to stand at the two ends of the table again to compete with each other.

Mao Lilan and Bai Ye stood aside, head to head, talking and laughing, sharing their feelings about watching the game just now. Occasionally, they would laugh out loud because of interesting memories. That laughter was as clear as a silver bell, echoing in the hall.

Noriko Ayashiro sat quietly at the side, occasionally looking up and smiling at the people who were in high spirits, her eyes full of tenderness and happiness.

Seeing this scene, Nakamichi Hezhi hesitated for a moment and reminded, "It's your turn soon, hurry up and come back to play!"

"Um……"

Atsushi Omura simply responded, raised his hand and pushed open the door leading to the outside, and walked out in a flash.

The door slowly closed behind him, making a slight "click" sound, which seemed to temporarily isolate the hustle and bustle in the ballroom.

After taking a deep look at the disappearing figure of Omura Jun, Nakamichi Kazushi shook his head. Just as he was about to comment on the wonderful performances of his two old classmates, Maori Kogoro and Ayashiro Yukio, Maori Ran seemed to notice what he was doing and came over. "Uncle Nakamichi, have you ever won the individual championship in the national competition?"

Nakamichi Kazushi was slightly startled, then a faint smile appeared on his face, with some reminiscence of the past, he responded gently: "Yes, that was when I was a junior in college, just that one time."

Mao Lilan's eyes widened, full of admiration, and she continued to ask, "So, Uncle Nakamichi is the strongest person in the Judo Club?"

"No..." Nakamichi Kazushi shook his head slightly, his eyes gradually becoming distant, and he was lost in the whirlpool of memories. "There is another person, who is even higher than me."

When he said this, he paused, with an elusive smile on his face, "But this guy has never won a game!"

As he spoke, his tone was teasing but also had a hint of something else.

"Hey? There are such people?"

Mao Lilan's eyes widened and her face was full of surprise.

You know, in the world of judo, rank is undoubtedly the ironclad evidence of strength, and a high-ranking person must be someone with extraordinary skills and agile body.

But now, Nakamichi Hezhi mentioned a person who had a high rank but had never tasted victory in the arena. This really broke her previous cognition.

Why is it that someone who has a high rank has never tasted victory in a competition? What kind of strange person is this?

Moreover, his father Kogoro Mori, Nakamichi Kazushi in front of him, and uncles and aunts like Horikoshi Yumi always mentioned interesting things and people in the judo club in their daily conversations. But why had he never heard of such a special person from them?

Is it because the relationship between the two parties is not good, so they deliberately avoid talking about it? Or is there some unspeakable secret hidden behind it?

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Mao Lilan's mind. Her curiosity was completely aroused and she was eager to know the answer.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Bai Ye raised his eyebrows slightly.

He actually knew who the person who was higher in level than him that Nakadashi Kazushi mentioned was.

Who else could it be except a certain Maori uncle who usually looks careless and confused?
In other words, in front of many of his former acquaintances, a confused old man has always been portrayed as a very powerful person. His dashing and heroic figure in the judo field is still deeply engraved in the memories of some people.

As for why, in the eyes of his acquaintances, Kogoro Mori, who is considered extremely powerful, has never won a judo competition?
The reason is actually very simple, because this confused uncle has pre-match phobia and gets stage fright when the official competition starts, as if he was given a debuff called "stage fright".

If it weren't for this psychological barrier which could be called a 'debuff', Mao Lilan would probably have known about her father's amazing talent in judo long ago, and there would be no need for an outsider like Nakamichi Kazushi to say anything.

Nakamichi Kazushi turned his head with a mysterious smile on his face, "Actually, you also know this person, Xiaolan, and he is here today too!"

He deliberately dragged out the last syllable and raised his tone slightly, which successfully whetted Mao Lilan's appetite and made her even more impatient.

Mao Lilan became even more curious, with excitement flashing in her eyes, and asked impatiently: "Who is this person you are talking about?"

As she spoke, her body involuntarily leaned forward slightly, and her whole body was in a state of high anticipation, as if she was afraid to miss any word, to miss the moment of revealing the answer.

"Well..."

Nakamichi and Zhi chuckled softly, a gentle laugh emanating from their throats, and were just about to reveal the answer to the mystery and reveal the identity of this person.

Suddenly, the door next to them was roughly opened with a "crash", and Omura Jun appeared in front of everyone.

His forehead was covered with sweat, and beads of sweat as big as beans slid down his cheeks. His breathing was rapid, as if he had just experienced a thrilling chase.

Seeing this scene, Nakamichi Hezhi couldn't help but be a little surprised, his eyes widened, his face full of confusion, and blurted out: "What's going on? Why did you come back so soon?"

Didn't she say she was going to the bathroom? How come she came back just when I had just said a few words to Mao Lilan?

According to the normal walking speed and distance, in such a short time, I probably wouldn’t even be able to find the toilet, let alone go back and forth.

Did he run into something extremely urgent along the way, so he rushed back to report the situation? Or...

All kinds of speculations flashed through his mind.

Omura Jun lowered his head, almost buried it in his chest. The lowered head cast a shadow, covering his expression tightly. Others could not get a glimpse of his emotions at the moment. "Nothing..."

His voice was a little hoarse and dry, like the sound of sandpaper rubbing, and a little unnatural. It sounded like he was deliberately hiding some unspeakable secret.

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly walked to a chair beside him, sat down, and gasped for breath.

Nakamichi Kazushi stood there, staring at Omura Jun with suspicion in his eyes.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that something was wrong with his old classmate, but for a moment, he couldn't figure out what was wrong. Mao Lilan couldn't help but cast a puzzled glance, but soon, she put aside the strangeness of Omura Jun and the mysterious man who had a high rank but had never tasted victory in a competition.

Because, it will be her turn to play next. Now, her heart is full of anticipation and nervousness for the game, and she has no time to care about anything else.

Thinking of this, she stood up from her seat and walked lightly towards the billiard table...

……

In the cozy and bright billiard room, warm yellow lights fall on every corner like a veil, adding a soft atmosphere to the entire space.

Noriko Ayashiro stood quietly beside the pool table, a few strands of hair playfully sticking to her fair cheeks, making her features even more picturesque.

At this moment, she was gazing at her husband Ayashiro Yukio with affection. The tenderness flowing between her eyebrows was like a pool of clear autumn water, reflecting endless love, which made people fall deeply in love and unable to extricate themselves.

"Xingxiong... come..."

As she spoke, she slightly turned sideways and waved her delicate hand lightly. The small ping-pong ball was like a nimble butterfly, drawing a graceful arc in the air and flying lightly towards Ayashiro Yukio opposite, as if carrying her full tenderness and love.

Ayashiro Yukio stood across from the pool table, his mouth slightly raised, revealing a doting smile as warm as the spring sun, "Okay, Kiko..."

As he responded, he swung the racket steadily, his movements gracefully and smoothly, and hit the ball back lightly. The trajectory of the ball jumping in the air was like the bond of love between them, tightly connected.

Standing aside, watching the two of them interacting sweetly as if no one was around, immersed in their own world, playing the ball of affection, Kogoro Mouri's face turned pale and red, and his heart was like a bottle of mixed feelings, it was extremely unpleasant.

He couldn't help but curl his lips and complained with disgust: "I say, you two, you are an old couple, but you are still having so much fun, how long are you going to show off your affection..."

Humph, isn't this obviously bullying him for not bringing his wife with him today?
Damn it, don’t let him get the chance, otherwise, he will make the “sweet couple” in front of him taste the feeling of being “counterattacked” by dog ​​food, and let them feel the feeling of being “abused”!

Mao Lilan pursed her pink lips and was about to step forward to persuade her old father who loved to complain. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something very important. She quickly raised her eyes to the clock beside her and reminded, "Well, it seems that there is not enough time!"

She didn't think there was anything wrong with the affectionate way Noriko Ayashiro and Yukio Ayashiro were playing off each other.

After all, she and her boyfriend Bai Ye were so full of love and affection when they were playing basketball just now.

Well, at most the movements were not so gentle, but the affection contained in them was no less, and in her opinion, even better.

Thinking of this, her cheeks flushed slightly, just like the gorgeous sunset in the sky. The look in her eyes as she looked at Bai Ye beside her was full of sweetness and love.

However, although she had no objection, she did not forget the main thing.

For example, at six o'clock, everyone will go to watch the fireworks show together.

This fireworks show has been long awaited by everyone. It would be a real shame if you accidentally missed it.

"!!!"

Hearing her reminder, everyone was slightly stunned, as if they were suddenly awakened, and subconsciously looked at the clock beside them.

On the exquisite dial, the pointer pointed mercilessly to a mark that had already passed six.

Looking at the clock that had already passed six o'clock, Ayashiro Yukio slapped his forehead with an annoyed look on his face, and exclaimed: "Oh no, it's already past six o'clock!"

Hiss... I had clearly promised my wife that I would remind her to watch the fireworks at the appointed time, but I ended up forgetting about it because I was so engrossed in playing ball.

This time, I'm afraid I'll be talked about for a while.

Well, perhaps it was fortunate that he was not the only one who forgot about it. Everyone else was also immersed in having fun and didn't notice how time flew by.

Ayashiro Noriko also widened her eyes. Her once lively eyes were now filled with anxiety. She spoke faster and said, "It's bad. We have to move faster!"

In fact, at the beginning, although she followed everyone to the billiard room, the worry in her heart was like the wild weeds growing wildly in spring, and she could not suppress it.

After all, there seemed something wrong with Yumi Horikoshi's words and actions at the time.

Especially since the other party once said something negative and pessimistic like he didn't want to live anymore, it made people even more worried and uneasy.

She thought to herself that after playing a few games of billiard, she would go see her old classmate Yumi Horikoshi and find out what had happened to her. Otherwise, she would be really worried!
However, even though this was my intention, table tennis was simply too much fun. Every time I hit the ball, the crisp sound seemed to carry magic that made me immersed in it.

In addition, she was playing the ball of affection with her husband. Every eye contact and every gentle smile were filled with sweet love. Such a happy time unconsciously attracted her attention.

As time went by, she completely forgot about visiting her old classmate Yumi Horikoshi.

"Otherwise, there will be so many people at the fireworks show that there won't even be a place to stay!"

As Noriko Ayashiro spoke, she hurriedly packed her things, her movements quick but a little flustered.

Maori Kogoro, Ayashiro Yukio and the others looked at each other, frowned, showed a trace of helplessness on their faces, and waved their hands: "Okay, then... let's go quickly!"

As he spoke, he threw the ping-pong racket and ball in his hand into a box beside him with a quick and decisive move.

Ayashiro Yukio and the others followed suit and quickly packed up their equipment.

After everyone put the rackets and balls into the box, Nakamichi Kazushi stepped forward and picked up the box with a gentle smile on his face. "Then I'll take the rackets and net back first. You guys go and take your seats first..."

Maori Kogoro nodded and responded, "Okay, no problem..."

After saying that, he took the lead and hurriedly led everyone to the venue of the fireworks show...
