Didn’t you say you were just using me as a substitute?

Nari Kamikawa's lips are pouting so high that you can almost hang an oil bottle on them.

She didn't leave, and took Kitahara Tsutomu with her.

"Tell me what you want to know, tell me, tell me."

"Okay, okay, I want to know. Tell me, Miss."

Kitahara Takashi cooperated with her as if he was coaxing a child.

"Then I'll tell you secretly, don't tell anyone else."

While speaking, Kamikawa Nari looked around, as if she was about to tell someone a big secret and was afraid that others would overhear her.

Kitahara Takashi said "Hmm" nonchalantly.

"You are the best to me."

Beiyuan Zun was stunned for a moment, and when he looked down, he happened to meet the girl's eyes filled with tiny starlight.

The girl's fiery gaze burned Kitahara Tsutomu.

Beiyuan Zun's eyelids twitched suddenly, and he lowered his eyes to hide the throbbing in his heart.

As someone who has been through this, Kitahara Tsutomu actually knows very well what the organs thrashing around on the left side of the chest mean.

For Kitahara Takashi, he can easily control anyone, whether it is Shijo Shinki, Kashiwagi Nagisa, Eriri, Hiratsuka Shizuka, or Ryujumo Momo who looks vicious but is actually soft-hearted.

But when facing Kamikawa Nari, he had no way to deal with her.

This girl is very unlucky for him.

For example, if Kitahara Takashi falls in love with someone, he won’t tell anyone else until he successfully confesses his feelings, because it would be embarrassing if the confession fails.

But Shangchuan Mingliyi is different.

This girl took the initiative to like me, openly admitting that she liked me, and wanted to let the whole world know. She didn't leave me any way out.

In this era where everyone is hiding, testing the waters, and weighing the pros and cons, she chooses to go against the grain, being more passionate about whoever she likes and loving more ostentatiously than anyone else, as if she wants to declare war on this era where fast-food love is rampant.

Every boy wants clear love, sincere affection and a firm choice.

Kitahara Takashi admitted that he had thought about it, but that was all in the past.

Now he has no expectations of anyone, nor does he want to rely on anyone, and he will not allow anyone to destroy the state he has worked so hard to adjust.

"You think I'm the best now, but that's just because you like me and filter it."

Kitahara Takashi spoke, his voice calm and composed.

"Actually, I'm just an ordinary person. Your family will find someone better in the future."

"Will not."

Kamikawa Narii met Kitahara Takashi's gaze directly.

"Even if there is, I can't see it."

Kitahara Tsun met her gaze and said, "Don't be so confident. Li Yi, let me ask you, do you really understand me?"

"Have you ever seen how I feel when I'm facing someone I like but can't express my feelings?"

"Have you ever seen me humble myself for a few pieces of silver?"

"You haven't seen it."

"You don't know my past, just as you've never known me. You only like me as I am now."

"I don't want to fall for someone else's whim and foolishly give my whole heart away."

"That's enough, let's just be friends."

Kamikawa Nari was silent for a moment, then stepped forward to face Kitahara Takashi with a stubborn look in her eyes: "I've persisted for so long, not just to be friends."

"Kitahara Takashi, you're right. I don't know your past, nor do I understand what you've been through. It's only natural that you suspect my liking for you is just a momentary impulse."

"I won't make any excuses, because time will prove for me that my love for you is not a momentary impulse, but an impulse that made me want to continue even though I knew it would have no future."

"I just want to ask you now, do you dislike me at all?"

The girl stood there quietly, her eyes blazing with a stubborn determination not to admit defeat.

Kitahara Takashi also looked directly at her.

In the long and silent gaze, Kitahara Takashi was about to speak when Kamikawa Nari grabbed his collar and gently stood on tiptoe, saying, "If you really don't like it at all, you can avoid it. This time, the choice is yours."

"Miya-chan, why don't you leave?"

Nana Ebina looked at Doma Mei who suddenly stopped and asked in confusion.

Doma Mai seemed not to hear her words, she was staring blankly at a certain place.

Nana Ebina followed Doma's gaze and saw a man and a woman kissing under the fireworks not far ahead of them, separated by a crowd.

The man is handsome and the woman is fair-skinned and beautiful, they look like a perfect match.

*

Snapped!

The plastic bag that hit the goldfish fell heavily to the ground, soaking a large area of ​​the ground.

"Smashed?"

Ichigo Saito looked back and saw Hoshino Ai staring intently at a couple kissing. Thinking she was thinking about falling in love, he quickly warned her, "You're an idol, you must not fall in love, understand? If an idol falls in love, their career will be ruined, and there might even be extreme fans who will come and stab them..."

Hoshino Ai ignored her chattering agent and just stared silently at Kitahara Takashi and Kamikawa Nari. No one knew what she was thinking at the moment.

*

“There are a lot of people today.”

"Yeah, I won't come here again next time. It's too crowded and all the good seats are taken."

It is true that fireworks are beautiful, but if you watch them for more than ten minutes, you will get bored. After half an hour, you will almost want to leave.

Anlegang Hanabi and her friends are walking home.

Suddenly, a girl walking in front pointed somewhere and said, "Hanabi, look! Is that the boy who approached you last time?"

Hanabi looked up from her phone.

Under the illumination of fireworks, the scene of the boy and girl kissing each other was as beautiful as in a comic book.

If you ignore the boy who just approached her not long ago, has been texting her and flirting with her until now, and even said he liked her last night.

"That's terrible. You were already hitting on Hanabi."

"I told you, every man is good! Especially one as handsome as him."

"Is he using us, Hanabi, as a backup?"

Anlegang Fireworks' friends stood up for her.

"Tsk!"

Anlegang Hanabi looked at this scene and felt a little unhappy.

Chapter 166 You may be a genius, but Koshien is full of them.

During lunch break on Monday, Kitahara Takashi said to Tanaka Kouta, "Kouta, I remember you were the starting pitcher for the baseball team in junior high, right?"

"Yeah, I once got dragged into playing baseball with that guy Shouta for a while."

"Can you teach me how to pitch?"

"what?"

Tanaka Kota looked at Kitahara Takashi in surprise.

"Of course you can, but wouldn't it be better if you asked the baseball coach for advice? He was a professional baseball player before he came to teach at our school."

"The coaches are preparing for Koshien. It's not a good idea to disturb them at this time."

Shota Ohtani is injured and the coach is in a state of panic.

The loss of a player means that the coaching staff's originally designed offensive and defensive systems almost have to be completely overturned and redesigned.

Because the system he designed was tailor-made for the nine members of the first team, the problem could not be solved by simply promoting someone from the second team.

The most important thing is that the first-tier team and the second-tier team seem to be only one word apart, but in fact they represent the gap in strength between the two sides.

If Shota Ohtani doesn't defeat those seniors, will they give up their positions?

Every member of the baseball team who climbed to the first team did so by defeating one opponent after another and stepping on others.

In sports competitions, the winner is the king and strength speaks.

"Too."

Kota Tanaka also thought about the situation the baseball club is facing now.

The two of them went to the baseball club together, borrowed two pairs of baseball gloves and a ball, and went to the baseball field to practice.

Before leaving, Kitahara Takashi also borrowed a baseball handheld speedometer from the female manager of the baseball team.

"Pitching is actually very simple. Get ready, lift your legs, stretch your legs, twist your waist, flick the ball, and pitch."

Kota Tanaka demonstrated the standard pitching movements to Takashi Kitahara, and then threw the ball with all his strength.

Kitahara Takashi took a look at the speedometer and found that the ball speed reached 143km/H.

This is a terrifying number.

You know, professional baseball pitchers usually pitch at around 150km/h. And yet, despite not having practiced baseball since junior high, Tanaka Kota can still hit that kind of speed.

What's even more frightening is that he is only in the first year of high school and has a lot of room for development and potential in the future.

Kitahara Takashi suddenly understood why Tanaka Kouta and Otani Shota were recommended for admission.

Sure enough, everyone is the protagonist of his or her own story.

"Just watching is useless, let's try it."

Kota Tanaka threw a ball to Takashi Kitahara.

Kitahara Takashi assumed the pitching stance he had just seen, and Tanaka Kota adjusted his stance: "Hold the ball in front of you with both hands."

"Turn your body slightly back."

"When you reach the highest point of your leg lift, pause briefly to build up momentum."

……

With repeated adjustments by Kota Tanaka, Takashi Kitahara raised his legs, stretched his feet, and threw the ball in the most standard posture.

There was a sharp sound of wind and the baseball flew away quickly.

"Holy crap, 137km/h!!!"

Kota Tanaka was stunned.

"Zun, is this really your first time pitching?"

"Yes, you taught me the posture."

Kitahara Takashi shook his hands. He felt like his hands were almost broken when he threw the ball for the first time.

Kitahara Takashi was not surprised by such achievements.

Physical fitness level of five is that of a normal adult, and physical fitness level of six is ​​probably the limit that an average person can reach with their efforts.

"I despise you talented freaks. It's boring. I'm leaving now."

Kota Tanaka turned around and walked away cursing.

"Good brother, don't go! Stay with me for a while, I'll buy you a soda later."

Beiyuan Zun hurriedly hugged him.

"One week!"

"Okay, whatever you say."
