Reborn in my brother's body

Chapter 7 The Flame of Jealousy

Three days later, Toru appeared in Sasaki's office again, and every line of the document in his hand was written with the sincerity of Team R.

"Tamiya, for rookie players, this condition can be said to have broken the precedent of Team R." Sasaki leaned forward and sat on the other side of the desk, with a firm tone in his mouth, but still tried his best to express sincerity on his face.

Toru leaned on the sofa, looking a little careless.

In fact, Toru looked at the contract with his eyes, but had other things in his mind.

Sasaki is right, the amount marked on the contract is indeed enough to make any rookie player excited.

If the time was set back to two years ago, he would definitely take out his seal immediately without thinking.

But the situation in front of him is a bit different. It is Jin who plays the ball, and it should be Jin who decides whether to sign the contract.

[Jin, what do you think? 】

Che's call was not answered, he tried to call Jin several times in the past two days, but the result was always like this.

It felt as if Kam had disappeared out of thin air, and sometimes Toru even wondered if Kam really existed, or if all of this was just an illusion after he was hit on the head with a ball.

Toru felt that he was going crazy with all kinds of conjectures, but his tangled expression was reflected in Sasaki's eyes, and what he conveyed was another message.

"What? Still not satisfied?"

"Ah," Che was caught by the question, and he paused for another two seconds before replying with some embarrassment, "I just need to think about it."

"Tamiya, there may be a little misunderstanding between us on your brother's issue, but please believe me, I really did my best for this contract."

"Mr. Sasaki, I don't doubt what you mean, I just can't make up my mind for a while."

No doubts, but something to consider.

Sasaki stared into Toru's eyes, remained silent for a long time, and finally showed an admiring smile.

"Tamiya, you really look like a star. How about this, we will have a team practice match this Friday, and there will be high-level representatives from the consortium attending. It is not impossible to increase this contract, I wonder what you want?"

"This……"

【Che, promise him. 】

Jin's voice sounded at this time, no matter what the content was, it was enough to surprise Che.

【Jin, you finally showed up. 】

【Che, promise him. 】

Toru had already nodded to Jin in his heart before he opened his mouth. Seeing Sasaki's questioning eyes waiting for an answer, he eased his mood and responded smoothly.

"Mr. Sasaki, I will come to participate in Friday's practice match. As for signing the contract..."

"Let's talk about it after the game." Sasaki said with a cheerful smile.

In his opinion, no matter how superb his game skills are, Rang Che is only a young man in his early twenties.

Whether he shirks or hesitates, it's just a trick to put on airs. He agreed to participate in the practice match, which already showed his inclination. He decided that Toru would do it because he had confidence in his own strength, but because he wanted to do it again. More to strive for.

After finishing this pleasant conversation, until he was sent out of the office by Sasaki, Toru was still a little confused.

Sasaki obviously got a satisfactory result, agreeing to participate in the practice match is also in line with Jin's wishes, but what about him?

He was obviously the one who participated in the negotiations, but in the end it seemed that he was the only one who didn't understand the situation.

Che can't wait to call Jin out and ask him why he hasn't shown up these days, and what he thinks about signing with the R team.

[Jin, you should say something. 】

There was silence in my mind again, as if no one was there at all, as if no one had ever been there.

The long wait finally extinguished all hope. He sighed deeply, and when he looked up, he realized that he had unknowingly walked into the team locker room, and there stood a person whom he was afraid to avoid.

"I just said you're interesting. That day in the bar, you looked like you refused to be thousands of miles away, and today you came here on purpose. What do you think you want?" After scanning it from head to toe, with the smirk on his face, it is almost misunderstood that his eyes have a perspective function.

"You misunderstood, I just accepted Mr. Sasaki's invitation to come here to discuss the contract."

"I just like your duplicity, using Sasaki as a shield, after all, you don't want to partner with me."

"Sorry to disappoint you, I didn't sign the contract."

"Oh?" Toru's decision obviously surprised Wuji. He has a very good personal relationship with Sasaki. Although he has not seen the contract with his own eyes, he also knows that the price offered by the R pair this time is by no means what an ordinary rookie player can hope for. numbers.

Of course, Toru is not ordinary, whether in Sasaki's eyes or in his eyes.

So the next moment, the interest in Wuji's eyes became stronger.

"Alright, actually, looking at it from another angle, if you go to another team, it might be interesting for the two of us to meet each other on the field as pitchers and hitters."

If Wuji hadn't mentioned it, Toru might never have thought that he would have such an opportunity to confront Wuji. This was originally a common thing on the baseball field, but unexpectedly it never appeared in Toru's life script.

If the identity of teammates on the same team is only one of the reasons, then the more important one is the difference in psychological status between the two.

In terms of seniority, he is a rookie and Wuji is a senior; in terms of strength, he is a substitute and Wuji is the main force; including the relationship between the two of them, Wuji also occupies an absolute dominant position from beginning to end.

His silent patience all this time has exacerbated the tilt of the balance. At some point, he has subconsciously completely cut off the idea of ​​confrontation.

Even the last pitch he struggled to throw in the game that took his life was pure exasperation.

Looking back now, even if that ball was not hit, it would still fall into Wuji's glove steadily, how could it hurt him at all?

But if on that day, instead of squatting behind the home plate, Wuji stood in the strike zone, what would happen?I didn't dare to ask myself.

He may not even be able to throw a speed of 139km/h, or he may be hit with a home run.

Because at that time, what he lost was not only his momentum, but also his skills.

Because at that time, he didn't have the courage to fight, let alone the ability to fight.

If it was him, he might not be able to do it for the rest of his life, but if it was Jin?

Facing Wuji's malicious smile, a never-before-seen possibility suddenly appeared in Che's heart.

Wuji stared at the tiny crease between Che's eyebrows playfully, as if he had grasped Che's little trick.

"Why, you're starting to think about how to deal with me now? I'm not bragging, my stick is not weak." After Wuji finished speaking, he did not forget to glance down at himself, shamelessly reminding the other layer of this sentence meaning.

Che sneered, automatically ignored the obscene hint, and then counterattacked in a tone without emotional ups and downs: "You don't have to be so impatient, I have already promised Mr. Sasaki to participate in Friday's practice match, and there will naturally be a chance at that time Let me see if the unshakeable four sticks of your R team are in vain."

"You're so confident in your game."

"I just don't want to waste any more time with you." Che's eyes and tone were full of undisguised disdain, and he turned his head and walked towards the exit after speaking.

But on the other side, Wuji was not willing to give up such a god-given opportunity, he took two quick steps, and stopped people at the door of the locker room.

"Tamiya, don't go."

"Mr. Asae, I think I have made my words very clear."

"I understand your kindness best. Otherwise, let's have some fun."

Toru didn't answer, but stared at Wuji warily.

"I'll bet you on Friday's game. If I can't hit your ball, I'll give you whatever you ask for, but if you get hit by me, you have to listen to me. How about it?"

"You are very confident in your blow."

"I just want to get into the topic quickly." After Wuji finished speaking, he licked the corner of his mouth, with an expression of staring at a sumptuous meal.

"Mr. Qianjiang, do I need to remind you that you don't seem to be single now!"

"As long as you say a word, I can be single anytime."

In the end, Toru accepted Wuji's proposal, somewhat with an air of anger.

What prompted him to make this decision was also the pair of jealous eyes from the corner of the corridor.

His reminder was actually for Masahiko. He clearly knew that it was not his way of doing things, but seeing the anger in Masahiko's eyes, he still felt very relieved for such a short moment.

So when the two encountered each other in the passageway of the safe exit, Che was already ready for the battle.

"I heard people say that twins are all virtuous. I didn't believe it before, but now I know it's true. You two are really equally low."

In the past, Masahiko had always put on a victorious posture in front of Toru, and his eyes were always glanced out from the lower corner of his eyes, like a noble cat.

However, at this moment, the way he clenched his fists and squeezed out the curse from the corners of his eyes convulsively, he looked like a stern dog.

It turns out that no matter who it is, once they are deprived of their status, they will become extremely humble, and the tall and gorgeous coat will be torn to pieces by their own ugly minions before others can pick it up.

So in the face of Masahiko's malicious insults, Toru didn't feel the slightest bit of anger, he just silently looked at the distorted expression on Masahiko's face with a look of pity.

Toru's reaction seemed indifferent, but it was as if a barrel of gasoline was poured on the anger in Masahiko's heart.

Staring at that face, Masahiko almost lost all his sanity.

He couldn't separate the person in front of him from the person he had stepped under, so what he was facing now was not just failure, but the hopeless situation of being completely overturned by a person he had never looked down upon .

This instant reversal of the situation is like falling directly into hell from the clouds. How can he bear the shock and shock.

The emotions full of resentment rushed left and right in the body, and finally they could only be released by screaming hysterically: "You talk! Do you think I don't know what you are thinking if you don't say anything? What's so great about the best pitcher in Koshien , After all, you are just a rookie player, if you want to rely on the thigh-holding trick to gain a foothold in the professional baseball, there is no need to brazenly go to the locker room to hook people so as to be so embarrassing.”

"Thank you for your experience, but you should keep these dirty tricks for yourself." Looking at the body that was trembling because of excitement, Toru finally fixed his gaze on Masahiko's face, without any hesitation. He stared straight at him without retreating, with a stern light, "I also heard people say that people in this world are all different. When my brother left Qianjiang, he at least left himself a bit of dignity. If he saw The way you are now, you can only feel that you are pathetic. And there is one thing you seem to have not figured out. I have no interest in the person you have worked so hard to get, and I have no obligation to play with you. So you have to The person I'm looking for is not me but Qianjiang. I hope you have the ability to persuade him not to pester me anymore, but you'd better look in the mirror before you go.

Feeling the flames of jealousy coming from Masahiko behind him, Toru didn't look back, and didn't stop for a moment.

What he was going to was the bright world in front of him, and he left the dull footsteps and the man covered with tragedy from head to toe in that dim passage together.

The author has something to say:

About hits: The so-called hit is actually the meaning of a safety strike. It refers to the strike in which the batter hits the ball thrown by the pitcher out of bounds, and then allows himself to hit the base safely.A hit can be divided into singles, doubles, triples, and home runs according to the bases that the hitter lands safely after the ball is hit.However, not all hits that help the batter get on base are hits. The more typical situation is that the hit is due to a defensive player's error (for example, the ball hits the direction of first base, and the first baseman could have caught it, but he was due to XX Excessive, accidental miss, the hitter is considered to have lost his life), at this time, although the hitter also hit base, but this ball cannot be counted as a hit by the hitter~
