Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 36 Visit Qingdao
The day of visiting Qingdao was a rare sunny day in the past few days. When Takano went to school today, his backpack didn’t have so many things, and it seemed to fly away at any time, but he decided to carry it. Otherwise, it will be even more unaccustomed.

Lang Zhi saw Gao Zhiye packed his schoolbag in the morning, so he put his lunch box into Gao Zhiye's schoolbag without any notice, and he didn't carry anything on his back.

"Aren't you afraid that I will do something to your bento?" Takano shook the schoolbag, and the two bento boxes collided inside.

Lang Zhi stared at the schoolbag with some anxiety, but his mouth was still firm: "There are 10 chicken nuggets, 10 small tomatoes, 25 slices of fat beef, 5 rice balls, and 4 pickles and 15 slices of radishes in the side dishes. There are a bunch of other things, I can count them all, don't try to steal my bento."

. . . . . .So does he know what he likes to eat?

"Ah, really." Gao Zhiye's words seemed to have a lot of meaning, which made Lang Zhi feel a little worried about his lunch box for a moment, so he hurriedly took it away when he finally arrived at the teaching building.

That worried look made Gao Zhiye tell Kusakabe as a funny thing. He sat in the front row of Gao Zhiye, and every time Gao Zhiye made complaints about Langzhi, he would say to him: "Haha, you didn't see him I wanted to speak along the way, but I was in the way of face, I really felt that I would do something to his lunch in a place where he couldn't see it."

"Hahaha, you have left a deep shadow on your brother, who would take it seriously?"

"Hey, I didn't feel this way when I was an only child, but now that I have a younger brother, it's really interesting." Gao Zhiye smiled wickedly.

"So, does he really have 10 chicken nuggets or something in his bento? Is your bento the same, let me see."

"Our bento is different. I don't like to eat cold fried chicken nuggets, so I don't have any."

"Dining together at noon today?" Kusakabe also smiled wickedly.

One pass ten ten pass one hundred, boys are full of energy, especially sports students.

So at noon, in Langzhi's class, the students saw Langzhi being called away by a group of tall boys.

"Hey, those are the sports students from class 3. They are all so tall. Did Sasaki-kun offend them?" The students all wentssip.

"I don't know, but the boy in the middle seems to be Sasaki's brother, so it should be fine."

"It's scary, why does Sasaki-kun's brother seem like a very good person?"

. . . . . .

Lang Zhi, who was talked about by everyone, was blushing, holding the lid of his lunch box in his hand, not knowing whether to open it or not.

“两千日元，快说赌不赌。”日下部和体育生们更熟悉，这会儿正关于‘高之野弟弟的饭盒里有没有10个鸡块、10个小番茄、25片肥牛、5个饭团、4根酸黄瓜、15片萝卜’设置一个玩闹的赌局。

Others sat at tables on the other side, eating and watching the excitement.

The leading sports student didn't answer Kusakabe, but instead asked Langzhi, "I said brother, this is my pocket money for a week, so did you remember it clearly?"

"Ah—probably?" Lang Zhi blushed under the attention of everyone, Gao Zhiye was also watching the fun, and did not respond to Lang Zhi's eyes asking for help.

He pressed 2000 yen on "Langzhi's Misremembering". After all, Langzhi spoke too quickly at the time, and there was always a fabrication.

"Then I will press it, my brother remembers correctly."

The bet was established, and the people around who hadn’t placed their bets started clamoring to open the lunch box. Lang Chi held the lid of the lunch box, like the wooden cylinder used to cover dice in a casino, so he lifted the lid. To be honest, he just glanced at it this morning. , the real number he did not remember.

I saw a bunch of people counting over there: "1, 2... 10 chicken nuggets, this one is right."

"25 slices of fat beef is also right."

"The number of radishes is also correct!" The good meal was watched by everyone.

"Yo - I won, brother-kun, you are doing well." The sports student who was still hesitating just now began to collect money from Takano and Kusakabe.

"Thanks for your patronage, I am willing to bet and admit defeat."

Gao Zhiye reluctantly took out 2000 yen, turned to Lang Zhi and said, "Why do you cooperate with outsiders to cheat your brother?"

Lang Zhi said angrily, "You gamble with your brother's food, how dare you criticize others."

"Then what's the matter." At this moment, everyone sat down to eat, Gao Zhiye also sat opposite to Langzhi, and picked up half of Langzhi's fat cow with his chopsticks.

"Hey--"

"what happened?"

"...fine."

After this meal, Langzhi gained the nickname "Little Brother" at school. This child who was a complete stranger to Gao Zhiye a year ago slowly and quickly became "Gao Zhiye's younger brother." ".

In less than a month, he will get used to turning his head when he hears "Little Brother-kun" to check who is calling him. A year later, when he and Takano go to a high school, this nickname will be quickly passed on by Miyuki For others, it seems that he will not be able to escape this nickname for a while.

Back to this sunny afternoon, at 03:30, the family that should have arrived in Qingdao is still stranded in their own home.

"Mom, are you still okay?"

I saw Shen Qing took out the few clothes she was gesticulating last night.

"Didn't you decide what to wear last night?" Gao Zhiye wondered.

"But it got dirty this morning, so we'll have to see which of the remaining pieces is the best."

"...Is that necessary? We are going to visit, not to go to the catwalk." Yesterday Shen Qing went to Qingdao to learn about it, and after returning, something was wrong, and she began to be smug.

"Hehe, how do you little boys know that when a woman meets a woman, it is the time when the love of beauty is most aroused." It seems that she met some beautiful woman, but isn't the baseball team full of boys? The myth of Takano's second half year.

When the family finally arrived at Qingdao, it was already 4:[-] in the afternoon, and several people registered directly to enter.

"There are two stadiums in Qingdao, the A-side court and the B-side court. Except that there are no spectator seats, they are basically the same size as a normal stadium." Although it has been renovated, Mr. Sasaki is still very familiar with this place because he came late Oh, it turned out that Mr. Shida said that he would show them around, but now they can only go shopping by themselves.

"Wow - there are two Kinoshita Little League outdoor training grounds." Lang Zhi said cooperatively.

Gao Zhiye didn't respond, just stood on the high lawn, looking at the seniors who were still practicing below, some of them were still familiar faces, "There are so many people. '

From these people, he could suddenly clearly see what a normal day in high school life would be like if he continued to play baseball like this. It would probably be class during the day, practice like this in the afternoon, and definitely practice more at night, and then wash up Sleep, repeat the day before the next day, and by the eve of the game, the rhythm of this life will become faster and faster.

"Huh——" Originally, it was just because school was too early and he wanted to find a club to kill time. Instead, baseball has become an increasing proportion of his life. He is not dissatisfied with this state, but if he wants to He doesn't play baseball every day and goes to study, and he has no dissatisfaction. Life has helped him choose baseball, and he has no motivation to change.

In other words, he likes a predictable life. Although he will move from one club to another, he will eventually settle down, but the changing state in the middle is the time that Gao Zhiye hates the most, and he needs to pull out from the original interpersonal network. Roots drift to another place, and it takes a while to take root again.

"What's the matter, I didn't talk again." Lang Zhi leaned over, he had been looking for this brother's weakness, and now he seemed to have a little inspiration, but it can't be said that the weakness is that Gao Zhiye went to a new environment or met new people, At the beginning, he would become very silent, and it was the same when he joined the Kinoshita Junior League. At the beginning, Gao Zhiye would only follow behind him and be a background board for everyone's conversation.

'What does this mean, does he care about the first impression he gives to others, a calm swordsman or something like that. 'It has to be said that with Lang Zhi's brain circuit, it may take him a long time to find the key point to check and balance Gao Zhiye that he has dreamed of.

The family walked to Qingdao's cafeteria. Through the glass, they could see a lot of things related to baseball.

"Eat three bowls of rice for each meal? It's a lie. With so many carbohydrates, training is so scary." Lang Zhi is the most serious of the two children, the place where Gao Zhiye just left, Lang Zhi Will take a closer look.

"The most important thing is the protein—" Lang Zhi's head was right in front of Gao Zhiye, and he bent over to look carefully, so he couldn't help but put his hands on Lang Zhi's head.

"Hey - don't put it on my head casually, I won't grow tall." Recently, I don't know where I heard the news, saying that being patted on the head makes me grow short, and Lang Chi would protest like this every time he was patted on the head.

"Why are you so short in the same family? Do you want to reflect on yourself? Everything must be attributed to the inside." Gao Zhiye blamed him.

"...Should I remind you, our genes are different!"

Noisily, the two children walked faster and faster, until the last time they turned around, they were already separated from the two adults.

"They never stopped us..."

"Probably called, we didn't hear it."

The two looked around and heard the sound of a pitcher throwing a ball.

"Is this the bullpen?"

The catcher inside is the catcher who played in the previous semifinals. At this time, the pitcher opposite him is trying to throw a ball like a curveball. They are standing close to the door. The wind is pouring into the bullpen. Picking up the clothes, the rich fabrics everywhere were crumpled by a gust of wind.

But the curve ball is still very sharp. As visitors, Gao Zhiye and his wife are not accompanied by adults, and they don’t know if they have entered a place that cannot be visited. Quietly left.

After reuniting with the adults, the family chatted about Qingdao's complete equipment in the car. Gao Zhiye listened quietly, but "Qingdao" has changed from a written word to a series of words that flashed in his mind. Picture: two outdoor courts, one indoor court, dormitory, dedicated canteen and bullpen.

'Sure enough, high school baseball is more aggressive than junior high school baseball. The facilities and venues are a bit exaggerated, and there are many more people, maybe twice as many. '

"How about it, my alma mater." Mr. Sasaki was driving the car, and he turned his head and said with a bit of a whisper, he was in school just now, so I'm sorry to say that, but now it's just in front of his family, so it doesn't matter.

"It's good." Gao Zhiye said dryly, not knowing what to reply. From the perspective of equipment, it's perfectly fine to come here to play baseball.

"It's great, I didn't expect my father to play baseball in such a place before." Lang Zhi was still very proud of his father.

Under Mr. Sasaki's strong promotion, the family gradually reached a consensus, and then tried to let the two children go to Qingdao to play baseball.

As for the other rational voice at home——Shen Qing, she visited several schools by herself, but only let her two children visit Qingdao in person, which seemed to be expressing her opinion.

　Originally, I wanted the two children to make some noise during the visit, but after thinking about it, if I were a visitor, I probably wouldn't affect other people's training, and the things originally arranged in this chapter are gone

　　Hey, let's do this first
