The day after the game, I arrived at Qiao's before lunch in a light blue tracksuit and a red baseball cap.I deliberately said loudly that I brought good things.The lively and lovely Qingbo was the first to jump out from the entrance.I spread my palms and showed him the frogs I caught on the road.Qingbo is very happy.It was originally used to please Qingbo.

"Watch." I put the frog into the sink ostentatiously.The frog just woke up from hibernation and doesn't know what happened.The tank shook for a while, and the bluegill sunfish dormant under the stone slapped its tail fin, and the frog disappeared.

Pitcher Harada, who just said with a mature face that I am like a child and what is so strange about frogs, looked at each other like they saw a magic trick.This person is still like a child.What a pleasant surprise.It's only where I'm not in baseball that I feel like this guy is really on my side.I love baseball, no doubt about it.But there seems to be a distance between us.This is caused by my favorite baseball.Don't think about these unhappy things.I remembered today's task.

"Harada, let's go."

Aunt Makiko clamored to have lunch first.Qiao looked bored and didn't mean to explain at all.I had no choice but to be a mouthpiece, stretching my neck and shouting into the kitchen, "That kind of thing doesn't matter—Auntie."

At this time, Aunt Makiko came in with lunch.As soon as I smelled the fragrant smell, my stomach growled happily.I immediately changed my mind. "Auntie, is lunch fried rice? It's delicious."

Aunt Makiko was very happy to be praised by me.I took advantage of the situation and asked to put the extra rice in a lunch box.Aunt Makiko probably thought I would stay here for lunch, and she didn't understand my take-out behavior.I glanced at Qiao, he was just changing shoes as if nothing had happened.Probably forgot. "Later, everyone will hold a welcome party for Harada, and bring a dish alone. Auntie's fried rice is so delicious, it can't be buried by this cool guy like Qiao. Hurry up, hurry up, please please." I put my hands together. begged him.

Aunt Makiko looked at Qiao in disbelief.Qiao turned her face away in embarrassment, and stopped changing her shoes.Aunt Makiko suddenly seemed to understand something, "Okay, okay. Boys are growing up. Eat more. Just say it's not enough, don't be shy."

I'm the least bit shy.Followed up the kitchen to start, filled two big boxes.When I got to the entrance, I saw that Qiao hadn't finished changing his shoes yet.I was anxious, "Harada, why are you in a daze. Hurry up and get ready. Qingbo, can you help my brother get the ball, gloves, and spikes?"

The well-behaved Qingbo nodded his head and ran away.Since he was able to take out spikes from the back of the wooden box yesterday, he will surely be able to find a baseball from his brother's room today.

Coincidentally, I don't know what's going on.Just refuse to listen to my command.He choked me and said, "I was making a lot of noise by myself. What kind of welcome party, who asked you to do such a thing."

I bowed down and apologized for the first time. "Sorry. I didn't make it clear. In fact, we met our playing partners yesterday, and we mentioned you. They are very interested in you. I think it should be more practical to stand on the mound and pass the ball to the hitter, rather than Passing drills are better."

Qiao's face softened a little.I don't know where the convulsions came from, and I said something that was illogical and couldn't be connected at all.I said seriously, "After practice yesterday, I found out that you are very good, really good pitcher."

Without saying a word, Qiao quickly put on her shoes.He raised his head decisively. "Let's go."

Qiao is also a very reasonable person.I was secretly delighted at this new discovery.If there is anything to persuade him in the future, as long as he presents a big reason, this person will definitely not refute.

The park is near the shrine and surrounded by miscellaneous trees.In the empty park there are only slides and a small beach in the corner.On the mound, the plastic sheet is unexpectedly available.This is the closest and most well-equipped baseball playing place to Qiaojia.

I was holding the lunch box in my right hand, and I was holding the jumping Qingbo in my left hand.Use your eyes to point him to the miscellaneous woods on the other side. "Over there, it will become a beautiful green arch bridge in spring. It's very strong. It's green everywhere." When we were young, we played house-to-house together and held hands to complete the wedding.

Coincidentally looking out of the corner of my eye.Probably imagining.I seem to see spring in his eyes.

Qingbo poked his head out of the weeds that hadn't yet bloomed, and waved to us. "This way, this way. Brother, Brother Xiaohao."

"Come on. The welcome party is over there. We have to go through this weed tunnel."

I slowed down to match Qiao's frequency.We didn't hold hands.But beside us there is Qingbo, a little flower girl running around.Although there are no dandelions when we first met, there are white flowers blooming on the ground.I have the illusion of white flowers blooming after the dandelion has fallen.I shook my head. Recently, I have more and more messy thoughts.I don't know if I particularly like the arch bridge formed by this plant.Qiao walked and looked around, walking very slowly.I don't rush him either.I'm planning to walk slowly, preferably without finishing this distance.

Of course, this is impossible.Crossing the arch bridge is a large circular lawn.Eto and the others are all here.

"Xiaohao, you are too slow." The boy Jiang Teng was most interested in what I said about Qiao.It is estimated that he was staring at this side early.At this time, he winked and beckoned me to introduce quickly, so that he can hold hands and brothers.

I coughed lightly, and gestured to Qiao with my right hand, "Ahem, this is the former ace of the White Tigers~"

The abdomen was pushed a little, but it didn't hurt.I looked at him exaggeratedly.Coincidentally, shy?The ears are red.My heart is like a drum hammer, this life is really over.After seeing Qiao's occasional cuteness, I clearly understand this. (Idiot! Howe is a big idiot!)

I turned around quickly, watching Jiang Teng and the others to turn my brain around. "Okay. I'll be more serious. This is Harada Takashi. It's the Harada Takashi I mentioned yesterday." I knew that Takato Harada would not understand me.Anyway, it's enough for Eto and the others to understand.I'm a bit afraid to face Qiao now.Had to use other things to cover up the past. "From there is Higashitani, a three-bat first baseman with a good long-hitting ability." I briefly introduced the second baseman Sawaguchi, and the right fielder Eto, and dragged Ryota and Maharu along the way. The oil bottle is also introduced.

They made a lot of noise saying that I didn't introduce myself well.I think I've had enough trouble before I dare to look at Qiao.It turned out that he happened to be looking at me too, and he was surprised that I had such a great memory.I didn't know he still had the habit of watching people talk.Immediately turned back, pointed at Maharu and said, "This is the coward who was clamoring to come back by the pool that day. But his shoulders are very strong, and the hitting needs to be strengthened. So is Ryota, but he is a pitcher just like you."

It's easy for Zhenqing and these children to play with Qingbo.Several of us "adults" gathered together to discuss baseball.Qiao looked at Qingbo and the others from time to time.I reminded him several times that the food was going to be sold out.He just held the juice in his hand and ignored me.Just finished lunch.At first, Qiao disagreed with Qingbo's joining.I told him that my family runs a hospital, and antipyretics are provided free of charge.Qingbo himself is eager to try.

There was a little problem along the way.Not a problem either.That's my problem at all.They came early and changed their clothes early in the morning.I was the only one in the locker room with the two Harada brothers.In fact, it is the arch bridge that I just passed.Because the other side of the bend cannot be seen from the outside when the leaves are overgrown in spring.It's kind of private.But this kind of privacy does not exist in the slightest now.I had to turn my back the whole way.The sound of dressing and undressing came and went from behind.I feel like my face is on fire.It is a wise choice to let Qingbo come in together.At least now I don't know whether the sound of taking off my pants is my brother's or my brother's.

The torturous change of clothes is over, and we get ready to start the game.Just thinking about baseball brings peace of mind.Listening to the sound of the ball entering the glove, I can throw the ball back without any scruples and say "strike".I pointed out the familiar ball path to my teammates and gave him hints.So far so good.

On the sixth pitch, Donggu hit the bat.I told Qiao to shoot a high ball from the outside corner.Coincidentally, he didn't ask the reason, and nodded in full confidence.Shooting partners need this kind of mutual trust.

Faster and more ferocious than when he was at full strength before.The ball was like a monster, with its claws and claws flying straight towards my face.I hold the glove and feel like a beast tamer.The restless ball clamored to go out in the glove.I tightened my grip on the glove.Finally caught the ball.The numbness in the arm was even crazier than before.That guy is really good.

Donggu came up to me and said I was really good at catching that kind of ball.I smiled, not knowing what to say.

"Hey, what are you talking about over there? Don't play home wine." Qiao's voice was cold.Obviously, he threw such a strong and powerful strike just now.Why did you get angry all of a sudden.Well, sure enough, a genius with a head full of baseball. (Can't you?)

"Howe, you hit the next shot. Get in the strike zone."

"Even I want to hit? Then who will be the catcher?" I still struggled to catch that kind of monster-like ball.These juniors are even more impossible.

"Let Daocun come." Qiao pointed in the direction of third base.

When I looked over, Inamura was indeed there. "I didn't even notice, when did he come?" I took off my mask and walked over, "Inamura, Inamura, would you like to catch Qiao's ball?"

Inamura happily agreed.I gripped the bat and felt a little nervous.

"Relax. This ball is ground."

I don't know how Inamura saw it.Anyway, the ball hit the stub, and it was really unloaded.Qingbo ran after the ball, and when he picked it up, there was a smile on his face.

After the game, Mr. Inamura told us that he would form a baseball team in the company.

"Didn't it happen before? Why do you want to form it now?" I was very puzzled.

"No. Not at all. I was forced to retire because of injuries. I thought I'd never get a chance to play baseball again. I was thrown off by it. But I saw the pitching by Qiao. Honestly, losing to a junior Health, it's really embarrassing. It's time for me to lose five catties of meat." As he spoke, he began to laugh.

Indeed, Qiao's ball is very powerful.It can rekindle a player's passion for baseball after an injury has retired. "Coincidentally, you are really powerful."

"Where is it?" Qiao's face was a little red when he spoke.The same color as the sunset.I thought to myself, it's so cute. (oh.)
