Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 327 324. Can you bear the burden of other people’s lives?
"What do you want to talk about, Kyushu-san?"

The two came to the playground outside the office. Genji Takatsuki stared at the baseball club students running around the field and asked in a deep voice.

"Suzuki-san is very worried about you. He said that you said you wanted to give up baseball, but in his opinion, you are still hesitant about it." Kyushu Makoto glanced at him and said:
"Can you tell me a little bit about why you gave up baseball? What happened at that time?"

"You can find that kind of thing just by looking for reports on the Internet, right?" Genji Takatsuki shook his head helplessly, his eyes numb:
"The year I participated in the U14 baseball competition. It was already the semi-finals. My parents rushed to the scene to cheer me on, but there was a car accident on the way there and my mother passed away."

"Then, I heard the conversation you just had with the senior of the baseball club." Kyushu Cheng asked again: "Do you think your mother's death was caused by your playing baseball?"

"I'm not a fool, how could I feel this way?" Genji Takatsuki retorted a little impatiently: "Those words just now were just used to choke that self-righteous and annoying senior."

"But you've said it before, you don't want to play baseball because your mother passed away." Kyushu Cheng folded his arms and looked like he was thinking:

"Can you tell me, what exactly do you think? I don't want to get too entangled in this matter, but after all, this is Suzuki-san's request, so I want to hear the real reason why you don't want to play baseball anymore. reason."

"The real reason why I don't want to play baseball." Takatsuki Genji half raised his head, thoughtfully:
"Because no one needs me to do this, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"The first time I played baseball was when my mother played catch with me when I was very young." Genji Takatsuki recalled:

"Then one day, she said that I was very talented in baseball and wanted to see me on the field and on a higher stage. Then, I took the next step based on her [needs] or [expectations]. Got to that position.”

"What about you? Don't you actually like baseball?" Kyushu Cheng asked.

"Yeah, I don't like it." Genji Takatsuki replied decisively: "It's not so much that I like baseball, but because there are important people who need me to play baseball, so I feel happy playing baseball."

"So after your father's death, you have no motivation?" Kyushu Cheng asked again: "Where is your father? Doesn't he want you to play baseball?"

"He?" Takatsuki Genji snorted coldly: "He is the person least qualified to ask me like this."

"why?"

"Because when my mother passed away, he said such ridiculous words to me in a fit of anger [It's all because of your baseball playing that killed my mother]." Genji Takatsuki showed a sarcastic smile:

"Although he later realized that this kind of statement was too much and even apologized to me, it was too late. He was not qualified to ask me to play baseball."

"Is that why your father-son relationship is not good?" Jiuzhou Cheng pondered.

"That stinky old man still thinks that I gave up baseball because of what he said. I still don't understand why I'm still angry after I sincerely apologized." Genji Takatsuki kicked the pebbles at his feet and said lightly:
"To be honest, I'm too lazy to be angry with him. I just don't want to play baseball anymore, like I told you before."

"."

The two were silent for a moment.

Probably because Kyushu Makoto is one of the few men who can make him feel convinced but dare not resist, Takatsuki Genji is also surprised that he can say so many true words in one breath.

After all, no matter how much he hides it, as long as Jiuzhou Cheng really wants to know, he still has the means to make himself say it.

"I said, just because you have talent doesn't mean you have to do it." After thinking for a moment, Jiuzhou Cheng clenched his fingers and said calmly:
"So after hearing what you said, I don't plan to advise you anymore."

"That's it. Thank you for your understanding." Genji Takatsuki nodded: "Then I will submit the application."

"Speaking of which, you seem to be a very passive person, Takatsuki-san." Kyushu Makoto said again:
"Play baseball because other people expect it. Once no one expects you to do it, you just give up."

"." Takatsuki Genji stopped.

"Then what do you want to do?" Jiuzhou Cheng clapped his hands and said slowly:

"After all, according to my observations during this period, you are a person with no desires. Your academic performance is stuck at the passing line. You have only scratched the surface of social interaction. You have no hobbies and no ambition. And according to your sincerity just now It seems that you are the kind of person who must be driven by others, and you will only do what others ask you to do.”

"What exactly do you want to say?" Genji Takatsuki stopped and whispered.

"Admittedly, I have no position to force you to do things you don't like. After all, we are just classmates." Kyushu Cheng suddenly approached him:
"But I don't want to see you continue to do nothing like this."

Looking at Takatsuki Genji's listless eyes, which seemed to care nothing about anything, Kyushu Makoto couldn't help but think.

Kyushu Makoto once thought that Takatsuki Genji was unwilling to continue playing baseball because of the psychological trauma of losing his mother.

If Takatsuki Genji thinks of his deceased mother every time he plays baseball and feels sad, then Kyushu Makoto forcing him to go back to playing baseball is tearing his wounds and a harmful act of moral kidnapping.

But now he understands that all this is just driven by Takatsuki Genji's character. It's not that he was so sad that he didn't want to play baseball because of his mother's death, but just because he had poor subjective initiative.

If no one important asked him to do something, he had no motivation to do it and that was the only reason he gave up baseball.

Jiuzhou Cheng does not understand this kind of thinking, but he will choose to be tolerant. After all, all this is based on Takatsuki Genji's own will. There is no need to correct his character and force him to become a very proactive person.

But the problem is that there seems to be no "important person" for Takatsuki Genji in this world. He is like a ball of seaweed drifting with the current, floating wherever he goes. No one can give him the right direction. He does not accept anyone's guidance, and he doesn't bother to think about whether what he is doing is right or wrong.

It must be because of this that he became the [Delinquent 3] who bullied his classmates in the first place.

Thanks to Kyushu Makoto who gave him a hard education after the Golden Week holiday and became his nominal "campus big brother" and also his new "beacon", Takatsuki Genji managed to get rid of his status as a bad student. Change his mind and become an ordinary student.

But he can only be an ordinary student, an ordinary student who has no goals, no specialties, is irresponsible to himself, and lives in the present.

If Genji Takatsuki is allowed to continue like this, his life will definitely become a mess.

Unlike other ordinary people, Takatsuki Genji is not without talent and potential. He just has no ambition and ambition, and is unwilling to make decisions for himself and be responsible for his own life.

What he needs most is not the understanding and indulgence of others, but that an "important person" appears in his life and gives him a reasonable and correct life goal in a tough way, just like a person who can't live without a beating. A spinning top.

What's more, Jiuzhou Cheng also somewhat resented his unwillingness to make progress and not take responsibility for himself. This anger has reached the limit of endurance.

"Hey, Takatsuki Genji!" Kyushu Makoto suddenly raised his foot and kicked Takatsuki Genji in the stomach.

"Well" Genji Takatsuki took a step back in pain, subconsciously holding his stomach, and said in shock: "What, what are you doing?!"

If someone had kicked him like this, he would have beaten him until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. But the person who attacked him was Kyushu Cheng, a madman and strong man who he didn't dare to resist.

"I said, I understand why you refused baseball, but I think you look ugly now." Kyushu Cheng deliberately put on an arrogant posture and said coldly:
"Actually, you can't let go of baseball in your heart, right? To be honest, you're quite funny."

"What do you want to say?" Takatsuki Genji was about to ask, but was kicked by Kyushu Makoto again.

"Look, it's clear that Karasawa-san and Suzuki-san both have things they are passionate about and their lives are very meaningful. But you are the only one who has a blaming attitude all day long, as if everyone owes you a little money." Kyushu Makoto Putting his hands in his pockets, he continued to kick him:
"It's obvious that you can't do anything else except baseball, and you're just a useless waste. But you still don't recognize yourself. Do you think you have any other advantages? Just because you're 1.8 meters tall, you can play But my useless person?"

"Hey, bastard, what are you going to do?" Genji Takatsuki tried to fight with his fists a few times, but Kyushu Makoto dodged and parried them, and was greeted by even more fierce, monkey-like continuous kicks:

"That's enough, stop fighting!"

"By the way, since the May Day Golden Week, I should be considered your big brother, right?" Kyushu Cheng raised his head and said arrogantly:
"As a big brother, it really embarrasses me to have such an embarrassing little brother like you!"

Kyushu Makoto kicked Takatsuki Genji in the butt with a side whip, knocking him to the ground, and then looked down at him condescendingly.

"Just think that I am bullying and forcing you. I understand why you don't want to go to the baseball club, but I still want you to go to the baseball club after school every day and participate in training and games honestly?"

Takatsuki Genji was already curled up on the ground with his head in his hands. After hearing these words, he looked up at Kyushu Makoto in shock, and was then kicked in the face by him.

"Since you are a new-generation six-pointed star, then it shouldn't be a problem to help the Xiujin College baseball team break into Koshien and get a good ranking, right?" Kyushu Cheng continued:
"If you can't do it, I'll beat you to death on the playground in front of everyone. How about that? I do what I say~"

"Well" Genji Takatsuki was kicked so hard that he didn't dare to fight back. He held his painful stomach and head and begged for mercy: "I know, I just do as you are told."

But for some reason, the moment he said these words, Takatsuki Genji suddenly felt that he had never felt so relieved.

It was as if someone had made a decision for him that he didn't dare to make - just like when he was standing indecisive in front of the track joystick of the trolley problem, another person suddenly jumped out and moved the joystick for him, and then He told him cheerfully: "Just leave the responsibility to me."

He didn't like baseball, and he wasn't willing to push himself. But there happened to be a very powerful school bully who forced him to play baseball and asked him to enter Koshien, otherwise he would be beaten to death in public on the playground, so this was probably a motivation to keep going.

After hearing Genji Takatsuki's reply, Kyushu Makoto stopped kicking him, put his feet away and took two steps back.

"Very good. If you understand, just tear up the application for withdrawal from the club, go back and apologize to the manager and coach of the baseball club, and then accept the training obediently." Makoto Kyushu folded his arms and ordered sternly.

Takatsuki Genji wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up and asked quietly:
"Brother Jiuzhou, when you say this to me, do you intend to carry my life on your back? You have to think clearly, you are just a high school student, can you carry other people's lives on your shoulders?"

"If this can help you live a somewhat humane life, then I will take care of your life." Jiuzhou Cheng replied without hesitation and a bit of pride:
"Do you think I can't do it?"

"That's it." Genji Takatsuki turned his head and limped toward the baseball club's office:
"Then just watch it carefully, Brother Kyushu, I will help them get a place in Koshien if this is what you expect."
