The trainer, whose time is running out, just wants to survive

After receiving this affirmative answer, Qianming's mind became a little more active, and he immediately chose to pursue and ask:

"Then, Trainer Sang, have you ever regretted loving someone by mistake?"

"——There is no wrong love in this world. If you love and hate someone because of one thing, it is definitely not love, but pure possessiveness."

Kitano also felt more and more that Qianming's behavior was a bit strange, and the atmosphere in the room was a bit wrong, but he still followed Qianming's topic and answered:

"Love is not a moment, but a long-term stay together. You know that person's shortcomings and can forgive the mistakes they have made. When you know that you can't live without that person, then this is true love."

"...That's right."

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room fell into a long silence. Neither Qianming nor Kitano spoke. The room was so quiet that one could hear their heartbeats. The heartbeats were accelerating, as if they were about to jump out of their chests. , making Qianming even more unbearable.

No, I can’t stand it any longer——

"Trainer-san, me"

"boom."

Suddenly, just when Qianming was about to speak, the dormitory door was opened again without warning, interrupting the conversation between Qianming and Kitano, and also interrupting the ambiguous atmosphere in the room.

Outside the door, the tall and dignified Silent Suzuka was completely free of the embarrassment of losing her earmuffs in front of the celebration and others. Instead, she had a calm smile on her face, which she showed again when she saw Representative Chiaki. With a slightly surprised expression, he tilted his head and smiled softly:

"Ah, Senior Qianming hasn't left yet? Then I shouldn't have disturbed you, right?"

"I dropped one of my earmuffs here. If possible, can I come in and look for it?"

Suzuka worked hard to show off the stereotype of being ignorant of the atmosphere and other things except running.Not far away, the celebration, the golden ship and the three invincible girls were trying their best to peek at everything happening here from a short distance away.

They vaguely realized that what happened now might reveal some mystery for them...the mystery about Kitano.

Chapter 88: We are the same kind of people, Senior Qianming

"Did you see anything?"

"I only saw Suzuka-san entering Kitano-chan's room - Chiaki-senpai seems to be in there too!"

On the other hand, the sisters Golden Ship and Zhongshan Jingyan also tried their best to probe into Kitano's room and find out more information about Kitano.They didn't dare to get too close to Kitano's room. After all, Chiaki and Suzuka were both very keen horse girls. If they were discovered, even if Kitano didn't say anything, they would feel like they didn't know how to explain.

Especially the Zhongshan Celebration. Now, she herself doesn't know exactly how she views Kitano, but at least she can be sure that some of her feelings... she can't express to Kitano now. After all, she can't even overcome her awkwardness. Personality, I still can't express my emotions more frankly.

"I felt something was wrong before... This guy's attitude towards Qianaki and Suzuka is obviously different... Is this guy someone who likes senior's taste?"

"I don't think so. Kitano-chan probably just accepts everyone who comes, right?"

Regarding his sister's slightly jealous words, Golden Ship understood Kitano's character very well, and smiled at the Zhongshan Festival with a joking look:

"Sister Nakayama, if you were more frank, wouldn't it be better to just say that you don't like having other responsibilities in the team? I believe that with Kitano-chan's character, when no one else joined the team at that time, you would definitely consider your feelings first. 's~"

"——However, if Sister Zhongshan really said that, I would have to wonder if the little golden boat is actually Sister Zhongshan."

Golden Boat also said words that only she could understand, but her eyes were not on the celebration from beginning to end, nor in front of Kitano's door with flashing lights, but looking at the side casually. Silent and invincible.

"It doesn't matter. What are Suzuka and Chiaki talking to him about? You can't hear anything here."

Because of the different growing environment, Wudi, who can speak fluent Japanese, will not use honorifics to anyone, even if he is influenced by his family.Wudi, who was slightly frowning, finally no longer planned to sit in the corner, but walked silently towards the door of the room under the gaze of the two women.

"Wait, what are you doing?"

"You will be discovered if you get too close!"

Invincible's natural and unconcerned action also made Qian Sheng and A Chuan exclaim. However, in this case, they had to deliberately lower their voices in surprise, for fear of being noticed by the people in the room. Finally, He could only follow Wu Di as a last resort.

But fortunately, in the end, Wudi did not break the situation inside the house. Instead, he chose to lean outside the door, raised his ears and carefully eavesdropped on the words of the people in the house. A Chuan and Jingyan also followed closely behind, and the three of them were full of atmosphere. Not daring to take a breath, soon, with the sound of the bathroom door opening, the familiar soft voice of Silent Suzuka finally broke the calm:

"I found it. It was indeed left in the bathroom. I'm really sorry."

In the room, Suzuka put on the earmuffs she had put away, and showed a natural apology in front of Kitano. As Suzuka's eyes slowly turned to Representative Chiaki aside, her tone did not change. He just asked with normal doubts:

"But why is Senior Qianming still here? I remember that Senior doesn't live in the academy. It's already very late now."

Having said this, a sly smile appeared on Suzuka's face and she asked softly:

"Or... Trainer-san, does he have any special treatment specially prepared for senior Qianming?"

"That's not the case!"

However, Chiaki, who can be calm and calm no matter what he faces, this time he refuted Suzuka's words with an unexpectedly fierce attitude, and even the extremely rare cheeks showed a bit of blush, which was different from the calmness of the past. The image is very different.

Perhaps it was because after recovering her memory, Qianming had long-suppressed affection for Kitano, and knowing all the reasons why Kitano even wanted to propose to her in the first place, that it was difficult for Qianming to face Kitano with her former normal heart, as well as the fact that she had always been The chic disguise is somewhat unsustainable.

In particular, Suzuka's words unintentionally hit the point that Chiaki values ​​most - in fact, Chiaki also suffered the loss of Zhoumu too early. In Chiaki's Zhoumu, Kitano had not yet developed "acupuncture". "This skill.

In addition, the era they were in was also the period when Teresin Academy had the heaviest pressure on trainers and public opinion on relationships.The scandal between Kitano and Chiaki seemed to be very popular, but it was all based on the premise that their "romance" was based on an absolutely pure and platonic relationship.

Therefore, until now, Representative Qianming seems to be aggressive, putting a ring on Kitano, and burying the past with him, but in fact, except for her palms and cheeks, she has almost zero contact with Kitano. .

The acupuncture that Suzuka and the others received later was something Chiaki didn't even think about at that time, let alone the fact that like Suzuka, she had to touch her legs for who knows how long in order to get used to it.Qianming has never experienced these things, and even just thinking about that scene makes her feel ashamed.

"Suzuka... don't say such things casually." Even Kitano smiled bitterly and shook his head, reminding the person he was most worried about:

"Especially don't say it in front of the celebration, Ah Chuan and the others, otherwise they will think that I am partial. Qianming is just talking to me."

"That's right."

However, Qianming's abnormal appearance when she fell into Suzuka's eyes confirmed her suspicion. However, Suzuka smiled softly and glanced unconsciously with squinted eyes. Although there was no movement, Suzuka guessed Someone should be eavesdropping outside the door, so he deliberately said to Qianming and Kitano:

"But even if it is, I actually don't mind? After all, in Trainer Sang's heart, even if everyone in the team is equal, everyone needs different care."

"If Trainer Sang has done something for one person but not another, it will inevitably make people feel a little biased. But I don't think so. Trainer Sang has tried his best to do his best."

"On the contrary, everyone should not be so blindly coveting Trainer Sang's concern, because a little emotion will cause much trouble to Trainer Sang. It would be great if everyone could understand Trainer Sang's difficulties."

"Especially since Trainer-san's health is not very good. I have always felt that since your health improved some time ago, Trainer-san, everyone has cared a little less about you than before."

Suzuka's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone inside and outside the room to hear clearly.However, Suzuka's seemingly unintentional complaint inadvertently touched the hearts of the celebration outside, the golden ship, and Invincible, making their bodies tremble involuntarily.

Unable to help themselves, the three women outside the house immediately recalled the scene in which they asked Kitano to perform acupuncture on them one after another.Nakayama Keiye, who was originally a little unhappy with Kitano touching the feet of so many horse girls, couldn't help but lower his head after Suzuka's words. Unusually, Keiye began to reflect on what he had done these days. For... myself, am I really a little too willful?

First, when Suzuka joined the team, he deliberately lost his temper and refused to listen to Kitano's orders... When he was at Huang Jin's house, he would never do something like this that would make Kitano worry too much.

Similarly this time, after Kitano gave Suzuka acupuncture, she took the initiative to ask Kitano to do the same thing for her just because of her unhappiness. If she really didn't want Kitano to touch her, Kitano would be so sick. How could his body force her?Since Zhongshan Celebration allowed him to touch her feet, it was enough to show that she acquiesced in her heart.

Zhongshan Jingyan knew very well that Kitano was not a partial person. Whatever he had done for others, he would definitely do it for her, as long as he agreed.But...even if she had hopes in her heart, she didn't want Kitano to do anything that would burden her body. In the past...she had always put him first in her heart.

When did my heart start to rebel and become so anxious?Even because of these anxious emotions, I made myself do things that indirectly hurt him... Why is this?

Zhongshan Celebration lowered his head involuntarily, thinking about everything.On the side, Golden Ship and Invincible also fell into a long silence because of Suzuka's words. They didn't know what they were thinking...

"Don't say that, Suzuka, they have done a good job in the celebration. To be honest, if they really want to make trouble, who can restrain them? They are willing to listen to me and accept me as their trainer. I I’m already very happy.”

But Kitano's thoughts were completely different from Suzuka's.Noisy?From the day he arrived at Huang Jin's house, he knew who he was going to serve.As a trainer who once served as the trainer of Golden Journey, and now serves as the trainer of Golden Journey's sisters, Kitano knows very well that when the horse racing girl of the Jin family really goes crazy, no one can stop her.

But when Kitano really got acquainted with them, he slowly discovered that apart from their usual irritable, irritable, funny, and even slightly crazy performance on the field and in training, they actually had nothing to do with most racing girls. the difference.

In fact, because of their "notoriety", most horse racing girls dare not contact them rashly, but the care and care they show for those who are still willing to be with them are even more common than those of other racing girls. less than.

For example, right now, in front of Kitano, Jingye and Feng would even deliberately restrain their instincts and try their best to listen to Kitano's words every time.All these performances are enough to show their concern for Kitano - otherwise it would be a joke if it were anyone else who wanted them to restrain their nature.

"I won't ask them to be as obedient and quiet as you, Suzuka. Everyone's personality is different, and as a trainer, what I have to do is not to suppress your nature, but to preserve your nature. Let you not do anything inappropriate."

"I'm very happy to hear Trainer-san say that." When Suzuka heard Kitano praising herself for being "obedient", she couldn't help but smile slightly, but in Suzuka's heart, she couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough...you still treat me as a child.However, for a special being like Trainer Sang, maybe each of us is just a child in your eyes.

But it doesn't matter, Trainer-san, whether you treat me as a child or as a partner, whether I have wishful thinking or not... I will always be by your side.

I won't sit idly by anymore. This time, I will definitely change your destiny and do my best.

"Then, I'll take my leave first. If Qianming-senpai has anything else to trouble Trainer Sang, I won't bother you."

"...No, actually, I don't have anything else to say."

At this point, Silent Suzuka has brought up Kitano's health and talked about it. Naturally, Representative Chiaki will not continue talking to Kitano as if nothing happened... This will only become the kind of person Suzuka says will cause trouble to Kitano.

Moreover, Qianming vaguely felt that Silent Suzuka had something to say to him alone... was it related to Kitano?Or...is she planning to confess something?

"Then, be careful on the road at night."

"Well, see you tomorrow, Trainer-san."

Kitano, who looked suspicious, also said goodbye to Suzuka and Chiaki. However, the moment the door closed again, Kitano's original gentle smile slowly disappeared from his face.What happened just now, even Kitano noticed something was wrong, whether it was Chiaki or Suzuka.

Chiaki suddenly talked to her about "love", Suzuka complained to herself so rarely, as if she was talking to someone... everything made Kitano feel that something was wrong with the two women, especially when Suzuka and Chiaki looked at each other before That kind of atmosphere made Kitano even more suspicious.

"...It can't be that Suzuka and Qianaki are jealous." Kitano, thinking of this possibility, also smiled and shook his head.If Qianaki and Suzuka both have memories, then Kitano may think so, but now, Suzuka and Qianaki have not been in contact with him for more than three months. If he can fill up the favorability level so quickly, he will not be as good as before. Was "rejected" by Qianming.

But if it wasn't this, then why... Kitano thought for a moment, recalling what he had done during this period, and couldn't help but focus his suspicion on Suzuka.

Suzuka... didn't seem to be such an easy person to get in touch with in the past. Although several months of getting along with each other made them feel closer, but based on Kitano's experience, Suzuka's relationship with him became closer, and they had to It will be at least a year later.

But now, Suzuka's attitude towards him has been so gentle since the Mile Championship, and it's almost rivaling their relationship that week.

... Could it be that it was because of the victory in that game that Suzuka started to treat him——

For a moment, Kitano could only think of this possibility.After all, Kitano can still imagine how much the victory in the one-mile championship inspired Suzuka.When Suzuka was at her lowest point, when she even despaired of herself, he gave her the greatest support. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Kitano saved Suzuka.

Could it be because of this incident?Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have seen Suzuka's expression before. When he took Suzuka to visit Special Zhou's home, he saw Suzuka showing this subtle expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. .

"This is not good..."

Thinking of this possibility, Kitano's mood became complicated.On the one hand, he was a little happy that Suzuka could still like him even this week... But when Kitano thought of invincibility, the Zhongshan Festival, and the Golden Ship's reaction, he began to feel dissatisfied with Suzuka's behavior. I don’t know what to do with my feelings.

It seems that one can only hope that Suzuka and Suzuka can suppress their feelings as before... at least, not to show them during the celebration and the competition.

……

On the other hand, Silent Suzuka didn't know that Kitano, who thought she was hiding well, had actually seen through the hidden feelings behind her actions.Otherwise, this "strategist" who seems to be strategizing may show his shy side and immediately lose control.

Now, Representative Suzuka and Representative Chiaki walked together tacitly, and the two women silently came to the bathroom of the trainers' dormitory. In this slightly humid corner, Representative Chiaki and Suzuka stopped at the same time, in the darkness. Looking at each other.

What people didn't expect was that it was not the confused Chiaki who struck first, but Suzuka. This girl who "ran away all the way" whether it was competing, talking, or even falling in love, faced Representative Chiaki in the most unpretentious way, He said something that made everyone’s heart skip a beat:

"Senior Qianming... If I'm not wrong, you actually met Trainer San earlier than you do now, right?"

"!"

Suzuka's words caused Qianming to follow quietly, and another sky-blue figure hiding in the dark trembled at the same time.The next moment, in the darkness, Representative Chiaki stared at the silent Suzuka in front of her with an incredulous look. Her eyes, which were glowing green even in the darkness, also showed a smile. Said word by word:

"As expected...Senior Qianming, we are the same kind of people."

Chapter 89: Suzuka and Chiaki’s heart-to-heart talk, determined racing girls

"Although I had a premonition before... I didn't expect that Suzuka-san is actually the same type of person as me."

In the darkness, Representative Qianming's expression changed from disbelief at the beginning, to later, after knowing the answer, he slowly understood that in Kitano's room before, Ling, who had never been good at showing emotions, let alone bad things about people behind their backs, Lu, why did he suddenly complain to Kitano and express his concern so straightforwardly?

It turns out that they are all the same people. They have experienced a tragic life and do not want to make the same mistake again this time...

"You and I are both unexpected existences in this world."

"It would be better to say that our trainer is a person who can create accidents." After getting a positive answer from Representative Qianming, Suzuka's guess was finally confirmed. As expected, Representative Qianming was just like her. An existence that has past life experiences with Kitano.

However, after learning the truth, Suzuka not only did not become extremely wary of Qianming, but after the doubts were resolved, she showed a relaxed smile and even spoke in a more cordial tone, saying:

"We are all the people who were hopelessly chased all the way here after being provoked by Trainer Sang."

"Yeah... hopeless." Chiaki now feels similar to Suzuka. Chiaki, who was still suspicious because of Suzuka's behavior during the day, and felt restless that Suzuka knew some secret about Kitano, now feels completely People's mentality has also calmed down a lot.He even asked Suzuka with a little more curiosity:

"So, Suzuka-san, to what extent did you and trainer-san get along?"

"This one……"

However, Suzuka, who was still able to torture Chiaki in Kitano's room, immediately lost the same confidence and courage as before "escape" when asked about Kitano.Only then did Suzuka act as shy as a girl falling in love for the first time. Facing Qianming's direct gaze, after a long while, she said with a slight blush:

"It's just... let trainer San rub my feet, do acupuncture, and lean on his back... and then take him back to Hokkaido to celebrate the New Year with my parents..."

"That's it...that's all."

"Is this what you call it?! I didn't even bring trainer Sang home to celebrate the New Year!"

Sure enough, when Suzuka, as loud as a mosquito, carefully informed Qianming of her original "progress" with Kitano, Qianming glared and almost shouted the words, but even if she lowered her voice, it was hard to The look of surprise represented by Yan Qianming... and the imbalance in his heart.

Representative Qianming naturally took Kitano to meet his parents and had dinner together, but it was just the most ordinary meeting. Although his parents did intend to bring them together at the dinner table, Representative Qianming ultimately decided Nothing expressed.

But Suzuka's behavior was completely different. Not only did she bring Kitano home to meet her parents, she even celebrated the New Year together!This is simply telling your parents clearly that "this is the son-in-law I have found for you", right? !

As for words such as rubbing feet, acupuncture, and leaning on the back, Representative Qianming had long since stopped listening. These were things that she and Kitano could not even think about at that time. If their feelings were not pure at the time, ordinary people would not be able to listen to them. If they cross the line in behavior, their reputation will not be much better than that of Qian Ming's parents.

Therefore, Chiaki was inevitably a little envious of Silent Suzuka, who lived in a later era and could interact with Kitano more openly.

"No...it's just a very ordinary relationship."

Suzuka, who was now slightly shy, kept rubbing her fingers together, lowered her head and replied softly: "Trainer-san probably knows my feelings... but he never responded to me, so Trainer-san and I have been None of them could cross that line.”
