How rude, we are pure love!

The Lemon incident suddenly came to his mind. That time, Banaijian was just like that. He saw through his heart and took the initiative to push him from behind.

At this time, Banaijian seemed to have thought of the same thing. Their eyes suddenly met, and Banaijian showed a provocative sweet smile.

He took a deep breath and told the girl in front of him about the predicament Eriri had encountered. At the end, he asked one more question -

"If it were you, what would you think?"

"..."

"I'm just an ordinary high school girl. I don't understand these things."

After listening quietly, for some reason, the blue-haired girl snorted heavily, secretly clenched her teeth, and almost let out a wail.

I didn't know this was happening!

Why had she worked so hard to get into college? Wasn't it just to catch up with him, to be able to stand proudly beside him?

But what's with that woman named Eriri? She's already achieved what she's always dreamed of, yet she's still not satisfied and wants to trigger more plot points! And she even found the correct strategy!

Thinking of the scene of the two people working together, Banaijian felt that her stomach was secreting acid crazily. The acid rushed into her blood vessels and then traveled throughout her body, making her whole body feel sour.

Of course no one is wrong, but she must regain her championship glory!

So, what to do?

Emotions flickered in Banaijian's eyes. From her perspective, she obviously shouldn't support the other party, but...

She could understand the girl's feelings.

The feeling of wanting to be by the side of someone important, but holding back due to inability, fear, and fear, the more dazzling he is, the longer the shadow in your heart drags. Sawamura Eriri's feelings must be even more entangled than hers.

So, even though she understood what this behavior meant, and even though she was very jealous, she still chose to reach out.

Banaijian thought silently, raised his head and looked into his eyes.

Unconsciously, the bright sunset turned into dusk. The red afterglow shone through the wire mesh, casting layers of light spots on the soil. A metal baseball bat leaned against the bench in the rest area, and the wear marks on the handle were coated with a layer of shimmering halo.

The evening breeze blew from afar, and the sweaty bodies felt very comfortable. At this late hour, the outlines of the two people gradually became blurred.

The girl's voice reached his ears clearly.

"how do you want to do it?"

"To be honest, I still have no idea. Talent and hard work are eternal issues. If I try to comfort her, it will be counterproductive. I don't think I have the ability to solve it at the moment."

Qingye honestly said what he would never say to anyone else. He had been thinking about this problem, but in the end he didn't come up with any answer.

“I don’t think it’s entirely a question of talent.”

Ba Naijian said something he didn't expect.

The girl looked up at the distant sky. It was because she had faced the same dilemma before that she understood. It wasn't just talent and confusion that could describe this feeling. It was self-doubt, the cowardice of not reaching out...

"She was just scared and ran away."

The thin yet firm sound was like a baseball hitting a glove.

Giving up because of the talent gap and giving up because of choosing to escape may seem the same, but there are subtle differences.

Escape... Qingye repeated this word, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

"I think I know what to do."

——clang.

The crisp sound of the ball hitting the target was heard.

"Did you hit the ball, senior sister?" Banaijian patted his chest.

"Hit the bullseye."

"I'm talking about your heart."

"That's what I said."

The two looked at the setting sun, their elongated shadows leaning against each other.

Banai squinted his eyes and suddenly sighed.

"Ahh, someone is going to act like a fool again. Are you an omnipotent hero?" Her tone was almost complaining, but also with a smile.

"You can come and accompany me. This is the time to show the power of our bond." Qingye followed.

I can't do that. Banaijian turned his head and snorted, his blue ponytail brushing his shoulders lightly, but——

"As compensation."

She gently stood on tiptoe, and the light of the setting sun made the girl's profile and voice seem coated with a layer of honey.

"Please let me have all of Kiyono-kun's sunsets to myself next week and the week after next."

The next day at noon, Qingye had a rough plan in his mind. While thinking, he walked towards the service club.

When Qingye opened the door, Yukinoshita Yukino still had a cold face, but just as Yanaijian could notice his abnormality at a glance, he could also catch the difference in Yukinoshita - or maybe she was too easy to understand.

The black-haired girl frowned slightly, looking absent-minded. He moved his gaze to the left and found that Yuigahama also had a sad face. She smiled and greeted him when she saw him.

"What happened?" Qingye sat down and asked curiously.

Yuigahama turned her head and explained, "A member of the baseball club is injured."

Something unexpected happened?

Qingye thought for a moment, injuries are a very common thing in sports, but the timing seems a little unfortunate.

"And...it might be because of me." Yukinoshita sighed and turned her head to look at the playground outside the window.

Qingye said "oh" and suddenly understood.

"Could it be that someone was lazy, so you beat him up with the Aikido that was passed down from generation to generation by the Yukinoshita family... I'm very sorry, but please don't come towards me with your fist raised. Although I am a member of the Yukinoshita family, I don't want to experience this."

Really, Yukinoshita glared at him and sat back down.

"Didn't Xiaoxue help the baseball club develop a practice plan before?"

Yuigahama touched the pink ball on her head and acted as a commentator.

"The new exercises were working well. Then, because the competition was approaching, she increased the amount of practice at the request of her teammates. As a result, she injured her ankle ligament during the practice match..."

——It wasn’t Yukinoshita’s fault, he could conclude that.

He could fully imagine that in the past few days she had been working hard to look up information, watch baseball game videos, and rigorously formulate a practice plan. Perhaps she could not compare with a professional coach, but she had already done her best.

"No one else blames Xiaoxue! Besides, this was caused by his secret practice..." The energetic girl stared at Qingye with her dark eyes, as if signaling him to think of some solutions.

Qingye sighed softly.

This is Yukinoshita, who always adheres to her own principles and pursues absolute correctness. Once she promises something, she will take all the responsibility on herself. She even thinks that other people's failures are due to her own failures.

He wanted to support her pride.

"That means the injured member won't be able to make it to the next competition, right? What's the batting order for this person?" Qingye asked calmly without rushing to comfort the girl.

"Third baton," Yukinoshita replied briefly, "The doctor said he needs at least two weeks of recuperation."

Qingye understood why she blamed herself. In baseball, the third batter is the strongest and most comprehensive hitter on the team because he can get enough hitting opportunities and there can be runners on base before he hits, making it easy to score. If the team's third batter cannot participate in the game, the result of the game can be imagined.

"There are usually substitute players, right?" Qingye said again.

"Our school is the top college entrance examination school in the county, and there are not as many people participating in sports clubs as you think." Yukinoshita shook her head.

That's true. If you want to achieve good results in sports, you will definitely need a lot of practice. People who can get into this school value their studies more, and few of them regard clubs as their main goal.

Only those baseball powerhouses will focus on the clubs.

Judging from this situation, even if Sobu High School's baseball team participated in the competition, they would just be a runner-up team and would not have to care so much at all - however, even if they did not get a good ranking, they must have their own goals and put their wholehearted enthusiasm into it.

Qingye looked at the girl's lowered eyes and made a decision in his heart.

Cicadas chirped outside the window. The hot summer wind blew through a villa on a hillside, lifting the curtains connecting the balcony and the bedroom, allowing people to see clearly what was going on inside.

In the morning sunshine, a girl in green sportswear and with messy blonde hair sat at the table, pressing the handle of a game console in her hand, with her two slender feet raised.

However, whether she won or lost the game, her expression remained unchanged, as if she had lost her vitality.

She had been worrying about something else.

Qingye no longer comes to see her.

It was clearly she who had been pretending to resist him, but once such a change occurred, she felt a strong sense of unease in her heart.

Did she say something to displease him?

Or is she just too cold?

She felt a little lonely.

However, this is fine.

She felt that this environment was very comfortable. She didn't need to think about painful things. She could quietly spend her student life. She wouldn't make any progress, but she wouldn't regress either. She just wanted to stay like this...

"—"

Suddenly, I seemed to hear someone talking.

Is it an illusion?

"------"

The sound came from outside the window and was clearer.

The blonde girl put down the handle strangely, stood up and opened the bedroom curtains.

Her room was built in the style of an ancient English castle, with a large balcony on the second floor, just like in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, where the hero recites love poems below while the heroine stands on the noble balcony listening.

She walked to the balcony and the steamy summer air hit her face.

Ying Lili was suddenly stunned.

In the brilliant light of midsummer, a young man stood in the open space downstairs from her building. Qingye was wearing a baseball cap and looking over here, with a baseball bat on his shoulder.

Feeling her gaze, the boy waved to her.

"Stop putting on such a stupid face—"

What is this guy talking about.

Obviously, the closer we get, the more our contradictions become apparent. But what is this feeling?

The boy stood downstairs, his big smile as hot as the sun.

"Let's go out and play together!"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world.

Baseball? Sports?

I like this the most!

The athletic girl closed her eyes.

Simulation, start!
