The morning sun of our boyhood

Tao Xi and An Mi are really happy friends. They have been in love since the day An Mi moved into this apartment, from the shoe cabinet to the insurance. In Tao Xi's words: "This crazy woman just spends all day with her Kind of trivial things to torture me!"

However, the final result is that Tao Xi and An Mi do not know each other. During this period of time, through many things, the two gradually developed feelings for each other, no, they fell in love with each other.

But, during this period, an unexpected guest came - Dou Xiaoxuan.She is Tao Xi's ex-girlfriend, and she is also a family friend with Tao Xi's family.Because of Dou Xiaoxuan's strength, she had the final say on the relationship between the two from the beginning to the end.

Now she returned to China suddenly, just to get back together with Tao Xi.Even though she kept pestering Tao Xi and targeting An Mi everywhere, she finally came to her senses under Bai Zhou's kind words and decided to return to the United States so as not to disturb Tao Xi's life.

During the daily training time, Tao Xi assembled the Cubs players on the training field, and asked everyone a question with a smile: "The second game of the league is about to start, what do you think?"

"Can't wait!"

"Definitely!"

"Fight!"

This was the answer that resounded through the training ground.Following these answers, the Cubs players clenched the bat with the bat, and the ball with the ball, their eyes sparkling, eager to try.

The teenagers are like arrows on the string, ready to go.

"Very good!" Tao Xi said, "but today I want to tell you a truth!"

"What truth?"

"At your current level, if you want to pass the qualifiers, it is very-difficult-difficult; if you want to enter the top four of the league, it is difficult-up-plus-difficult; if you want to win the league championship That's an idiot-people-say-dream. It's like when you go out, you are first hit by a falling leaf, and then slipped on a banana peel. When you fell, you just crushed an ant, or was it an ant? probabilities later."

"What!" The teenagers were ashamed by the coach's words, their smiles froze on their faces, and they hurriedly protested, and the eyes that were shining just now dimmed instantly.

Tao Xi looked around the team members and saw the effect of his words, and then said: "However, there is another truth that must be clarified."

"What's the truth?"

"Joule, a few months ago, did you know what stealing a base is?"

"How is that possible? I didn't even know what running a base was, let alone stealing a base."

"Feng Chengcheng, a few months ago, did you know how many correct pitching postures there were?"

"Uh, at that time the baseballs in my hand were mainly used for this..." Feng Chengcheng said, picked up three baseballs and threw them like juggling, which caused a burst of laughter.

"Lu Tong, if there is a game now, who do you think should play our fourth bat?"

Lu Tong thought about it and replied: "It depends on the situation of the opponent's pitcher. Xiaosong is fast and quick-responsive, usually at the first bat; I have great strength, and if the pitcher's pitch is simple, I am more suitable for the fourth bat; Feng Chengcheng hits the ball steadily, and he is best suited for pitchers with more variation..."

"That's a great answer!" Tao Xi praised sincerely, "Look, you have made such great progress in just a few months! Whether it is baseball skills or understanding of baseball, the speed at which you grow , To be honest, it was far beyond my expectations! A few months ago, you were still the team that would collide with your teammates when you played practice games against the Silver Eagles, but now, you have won the Lihai Middle School Kai Band, Won the first victory in the U18 League! As long as we win two more games, we will be able to lock the seat in the championship and runner-up battle!"

Following his words, there was a commotion of excitement on the field, and the light in the eyes of the teenagers gradually recovered.

"Do you have confidence?" Tao Xi shouted.

All the team members puffed up their chests and replied in unison: "Yes!"

"Then start training immediately! First run 3 laps, then 50 sets of 3-meter leapfrog jumps, 3 sets of push-ups per person, start!"

"Ah!" There was a wailing sound.

Joule complained: "Coach, besides letting us run laps, leapfrog, and do push-ups, what else will you do?"

"It will also make you jump through hoops. Hurry up!"

A few days later, at a game between the Cubs and the Pine Hill Rocks, Tausi walked in the tunnel, eyeing his proteges one by one.

Tao Xi roared and asked, "Have you remembered everyone's positions and tasks?"

"Remember it!" the teenagers roared.

The game begins.The Cubs quickly discovered that the Rocks were a team without a fight.In fact, Tao Xi had already analyzed this point for them before the game.Songshan Middle School didn't have a baseball team, and didn't pay much attention to sports. Many members of the Rock team joined the baseball team just to get some attention in their resumes.

But the Cubs didn't expect that the opponent standing on the field didn't even have basic sportsmanship: Facing the strike that Wu Tong threw with all his strength, the batter just waved the bat symbolically, without even touching the shadow of the ball. ;Even if the ball is hit, the opponent's base runner does not run actively; the off base obviously sees that it is a fly ball and does not rush back to the base bag, and does not care about being caught.

The Cubs easily scored 4 points, and they felt a little too easy.They were a little confused-before the game, they made all kinds of preparations, but they didn't prepare for the opponent not to play well.

During halftime, the Cubs chatted in the dugout.

Ban Xiaosong asked in bewilderment: "It's obvious that you won the game, why don't you feel bad about it?"

Wu Tong replied: "It's very simple. The culture of our country is that if you win, you still have to ask your opponent, are you convinced? If the opponent loses and convinces you, the winner will be happy. Nothing less will do."

Everyone felt that what Wu Tong said was too reasonable, that's what happened, so now they feel very upset.

Lu Tong suggested: "Since this is the case, let's stop fighting with all our strength. Everyone should get together and relax. Anyway, we will win."

Everyone agreed with Lu Tong's statement.

At this time, a group of girls in blue tops and white skirts walked to the center of the arena and danced.Looking at it this way, everyone in the Cubs knew that this was Songshan's cheerleading team.In their school, the baseball team has no fighting spirit, but the cheerleaders have a lot of fighting spirit, every movement is in place, and the momentum of cheering is also very strong.

Lu Tong sighed, "I'm so envious."

"Why don't we have a cheerleader?" Joule said, and all the baseball team swiped to look at Qingcheng and Li Zi.Qingcheng shrugged, and Li Zi scratched her head.

At the beginning of the second game, Tao Xi found something was wrong.There seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between the Cubs and the Rocks. One side was perfunctory, while the other was lazy.

Qingcheng and Li Zi also looked at it without understanding, Qingcheng was slightly upset: What is the Cubs doing?Don't take baseball seriously?

Tao Xi gestured to Yin Ke on the field, asking him to make arrangements to promote the enthusiasm of the players.But I don't know what Yin Ke was thinking, but he didn't notice it.He had no choice but to gesture to Ban Xiaosong again, but Ban Xiaosong did not give up his efforts. Even though the opponent was not actively running the base, he was still trying to run and pass the ball at the shortstop position, but he shrugged at Tao Xi, meaning There was nothing he could do about it.

Qingcheng and Li Zi saw Tao Xi was so angry that he threw the baseball bat on the ground.Li Zi asked Qingcheng: "What happened to Teacher Tao?"

"Maybe it's because the team members ignored him." Qingcheng said uncertainly.But she was also very angry, is this still the Cubs?

Tao Xi thought for a while, and he had to tie the bell to untie the bell. He rushed into the rock team's lounge, folded his hips and shouted, "Coach of the rock team, come out!"

A young man with a crew cut stood up and asked bluntly, "What are you doing?"

"How dare you call it the Rock Team? Your team can't beat our team. I don't blame you. But look at your players, they really embarrass the baseball team!" Tao Xi said bluntly.

"Hey, I haven't seen you being so nosy!" The opposing coach rolled up his sleeves and approached Tao Xi, but the moment the two of them met, the opposing coach was stunned and asked, "Tao... ...Are you Tausi?"

"It's me, what's the matter?" Tao Xi puffed up his chest, looking fearless.

"Tao Xi, the three-peat champion of the league ten years ago and the captain of the Tigers?"

Tao Xi was stunned by this question, and he asked back, "Who are you?"

"I'm your fan!" The opposing coach was excited, "I was a high school student back then, and it was because I admired you that I made up my mind to enter the baseball world!"

"Uh." Tao Xi rubbed his head. He didn't expect such a result when he came to the opponent's rest area to call a formation. He looked at the field and said, "Now is not the time to talk about these things. Look at their appearance! Since you If you say you like baseball and me, how can you treat your coach like this!"

The coach of the Rock team blushed, and hurriedly called a timeout, and the members of the Rock team came to the rest area one after another.Tao Xi waved and shouted: "The Cubs are coming this way too!" The members of the Cubs looked back and came over in surprise.

The coach of the Rock team spoke first. He gave Tao Xi a guilty look, cleared his throat, and said, "Guys, although this is a game that must be lost, we can't play like this. We still have to play sportsmanship and baseball spirit." Later, whoever doesn't play well, run well, and pitch well, go back and run 10 laps for me." After speaking, he asked Tao Xi flatteringly, "Coach Tao, do you have anything else to add?"

"You train your players, what should I add!" Tao Xi turned to the Cubs and said, "Aren't you ashamed just now? Your style of play not only insulted yourself, but also insulted the opposing team. The opponent is the worst Respect is to go all out, understand?"

Under his glance, the Cubs and Rocks blushed and clenched their fists.Tao Xiyu said earnestly: "Do you know what is the most precious thing in life? It is time. This second, this minute, this game will never happen again after passing. No matter what regrets you leave, It’s bound to be irreversible.”

Qingcheng and Li Zi looked at the rest area not far away from the rest area here, Li Zi still didn't know what was going on, let alone why Tao Xi arranged the battle to put the Cubs on the other side's camp, " What are they doing?"

Qingcheng left a very shallow smile and said: "The competition will be full of fighting spirit!" Li Zi didn't know what it meant.

The audience who went to watch the game between the Cubs and the Rocks that day must have wondered like Li Zi: why the two teams were deployed in the same rest area, and when they played again later, the two teams seemed to have changed players , changed his previous lazy appearance, and tried his best.

Although it was no surprise that the Cubs won in the end, no one in the audience would deny that they had watched a game worth the ticket price.Later, Li Zi also understood what Qingcheng said.

Yin Ke's mother was also discharged from the hospital after more than a week.One day after school, just after training, Yin Ke received a call from his mother.

"Hey, Xiao Ke, are you done training?"

"Ah."

"Now call Shang Qingcheng to come home with me."

Yin Ke was taken aback: "Huh?"

Yin Ke's mother said softly: "Mom said before that you should thank Qingcheng well and invite her to eat at home. What, you forgot?"

"No, Mom, you just got out of the hospital..." Yin Ke didn't mean that he didn't want to invite Qingcheng to the house, but that he was concerned about his mother's physical condition.

"It's okay, hurry up and come back with Qingcheng, your father is cooking, hurry up."

"it is good."

Yin Ke packed up his things and walked to the edge of the court, where Qingcheng was sitting, waiting for the Cubs to go home after training.

"Qingcheng, my mother invites you to have dinner at home."

"Eat? So suddenly?"

"My parents would like to thank you for your help in the hospital last time, and specially invited you to be a guest at home."

Qingcheng stood up, pretending to be meaningful and said: "Oh~ so it is only Yin Ke's parents who want to invite me to be a guest, I don't know Yin Ke himself, what is your attitude?" Then, she glanced at Yin Ke.

Yin Ke felt that Qingcheng's appearance was really funny, and replied according to her intention: "Okay, I also want to invite you to my house as a guest."

Qingcheng pretended to sigh: "Hey, it's so dishonest, I think it's better to forget it."

"Looks like I'm going to take her away by force, let's go." Yin Ke didn't move, the girl was too "childish", so he took her by the wrist and left.

"Wait, I'll get the bag."
