The cleverness in the eyes of Yongcanghao

It took Hao a long time to wake up and realize that this kid already knew that he liked clever things before going abroad. "You, how do you know. Don't tell Qiao. Never tell him."

"Brother Xiaohao, do you know what Qiao is afraid of? No. To be more precise, it's shyness."

"What are you talking about? Why do you all want us to be together when I come back after going out for six years. It's strange."

"Brother Xiaohao is such an idiot. Do you know why we are not together? Coincidentally, I rarely come back every Saturday, Sunday or holiday. The first thing to do is to check the receipt records of the post office. Find yours, and then look for it from house to house .The letter you wrote to Donggu, Sawaguchi, and parents, Qiao is always the first to hold it in his hand, knock on the door of others, and ask to take a look. So every letter is his first I see. Later, when there were occasional items delivered by courier, they simply forwarded them to Qiao intact.

you know.Do you know what else Ruiheng said during the game?He made a joke about it, it happened to be a widower who lost his wife and thought of you all the time.Qiao fought with him on the spot.He corrected with red eyes that widower meant the death of his wife.He growled very loudly that you will definitely come back.

Brother Xiaohao, you are not allowed to run away.I can see that you still like him.why not?He likes you too!He confessed to your parents.Your parents accepted him too.Aunt Makiko is very happy to be in-law with her good friend Aunt Setsuko.What a wonderful thing.why are you running? "

"Zhenqing, let go. Does the whole Nitta know about this?"

"Got it. I know everything. Only you don't know."

No wonder.No wonder this one is both so wacky.

In fact, since returning to China, Hao has already felt that Qiao is trying his best to get close to him.The ambiguous "you think for yourself" in front of the cafe, the previous transfer incident, the subsequent living together, and the suggestive sentence "the catcher is like the pitcher's wife" said again and again, all these signs made Hao Xue Zang's heart was about to move again.But there is no real hammer, Hao is afraid that he will be sentimental again, and once again put all his heart into it like six years ago, only to find out sadly that his status is not as good as a baseball.

He fears.

But this time, it's different.What Maharu said was exactly what he thought.

"Zhenqing, let go. I'll go find Grandpa Jinggang."

"Brother Xiaohao is really an idiot. A big idiot." Zhenqing's refreshing idiot, idiot, echoed behind Hao.

When Hao ran to Harada's house, Jinggang Yozo was heating hot water in the backyard to take a bath for Qiao who came back from running.Seeing Hao in a hurry, and after listening to his panting incoherent "coincidence" and "we", the old man snorted and took a piece of firewood and knocked him on the head.

"I don't know until now? I thought you were a bit smarter after wandering outside for six years."

Howe squatted in the soft mud.The nails were embedded, and the chest seemed to explode. "But. Grandpa, Aunt Makiko, don't you object? I like him. But I dare not. He has no obligation to abandon his family for me. I can't destroy him."

"You are really a big fool. Qiao is so determined to want you. The Yongcang family is so kind to Qiao. Makiko dares to say no and she even lost her son." Grandpa Jing Gang threw the firewood into the stove.Get up and go inside. "You come with me."

Grandpa Jinggang took Hao into the entrance, and spread out the photo album for him to read.The photos of Yosan holding Qiao under the plum tree, Qiao holding the ball in both hands, taking a nap with her upper body shirtless, and holding hands with a thin white-haired woman are all photos of Qiao when she was a child.

Grandpa Jinggang took one of them and handed it to him. "Howe, I really don't want to give anyone a photo of Holy Name. I am old. And only these pictures remind me of old women. But, Howe, you are a very good child. This one, I for you."

Howe took over the photo of him and Qiao when he was a child.Grandpa Jinggang clenched his hand tightly, as if he wanted to give him all his strength. "Coincidentally, I'll leave it to you too."

In the photo is a pair of small hands holding a small ball, and it is a two-year-old Qiao who looks into the distance and cries.He was little, but he saw the two-year-old Hao who waved to him when he was sitting behind the car seat and walked by the lotus pond.

The fiery persuasion in the two-year-old Qiao's eyes made the now 19-year-old Hao have a foolish idea of ​​wanting to go into the photo and replace himself when he was one year old.He always thought that such eyes would only appear when he looked at Qiao's back.Unexpectedly, he also looked at himself that way.

Why should I abandon him and go away?stay.Let's pitch together, idiot!

Whether it's Ho who was taken away by his mother when he was ignorant, or Ho who was alone there in junior high and sad, these Ho who used to be ignorant, now Ho just wants to go back and knock that self to the ground with a punch, Then he punched that idiot's round face hard twice.

"I told Qiao about this a long time ago. From the way you look, he doesn't seem to have told you."

"So you are Hao." The words that he said cleverly when they met for the first time in front of the shrine reappeared in Hao's mind at this time.Now, six years later, he finally understood the sadness hidden behind those plain words.

"How, you were born to catch my ball."

"This kind of thing has already been decided when I was two years old!"

"I am where my most important wife is."

"You forgot."

Yes.Hao forgot.Qiao always remembers.Remember that little ball, those little hands.

"I thought Qiao didn't know, so he didn't tell me."

"No, it's because you forgot that he didn't think it's useless to say it. That's the kind of person he is."

"What nonsense! We agreed! Let's set foot on Jiashiyuan together! We are shooting and arresting partners!" Hao suddenly understood what happened when he was not allowed to leave.

It's me who doesn't know anything.I'm really a complete dumbass.Hao held the photo album and couldn't say anything.The back is pressed heavily by the strength of a person.

"Brother Xiaohao won't cry. Qingbo will give you a present."

It's Aomami.In his hand is a pair of gloves.It was a glove that he had always felt very familiar with, which he took out from his room by chance.

"Brother Xiaohao, brother is braver than you imagined, and he likes you more than you know. After fighting with brother Ruiheng, when I gave him medicine, he said it as a matter of course. Naturally, our family No one objected. We all know that with you, my brother can get along well with the people around me. My mother also said that she doesn't know her son as well as your partner, and she feels a little defeated. Aunt Setsuko came to the door I came here to give a bride price once. It was your baseball glove. It was on my brother’s bed all the time. Now, I’ll give it back to you. Return it to Zhao.”

"Qingbo, Qiao, where is it? Where is he? I want to see him. Now, right away."

"It's nine o'clock in the morning, and I just ran around. As usual, I should rest at the shrine where you first met."

"Qingbo, has he been there all this time?" Yangsan patted the middle school boy's little head.

"Yes. For six years, my brother will rest there and wait for him."

"Two idiots."

"Isn't it?"

When Hao came to the bottom of the stone steps of the shrine, Qiao had just finished running, his back was slightly sweating, and he was sitting on the highest step, looking into the distance.His cold eyes are like a dry pond rejuvenated after catching a glimpse of someone approaching in the distance, full of vitality.

"Ho."

He called that morning and evening name, and walked down the high steps of the shrine towards him.The sunlight behind him made him look like a god descended into the world.Looking at it, Hao's eyes were swollen and his heart felt hot, just like when he went back to Nitta Shrine to throw two [-] coins after seeing Qiao's pitching for the first time, he crossed his hands and stuck to his heart.Thank God, listen to my wish.

At that moment, the flood of thoughts seemed to have opened the floodgates, flooding Hao's heart that had been desolate for six years.There, because of Qiao's voice and smile, flowers grow again, goodbye to the sun.He thought he could forget.He foolishly believed that he could hide this intention.He spent six years building a high wall in his heart.Qiao only said one word, and his city wall was immediately crumbled.

"Coincident! Love it. From being a shooting partner with you, from seeing you here, from seeing you pitch for the first time at the county convention. I've been a jerk for six years. No, more than six years. I've been Don't be an idiot anymore. I, Nagakura Go, like Harada Takashi! My favorite! The world's number one favorite!"

There were too many words to say, blocking his chest and throat.He couldn't say a word.Just gasping for breath, smiling foolishly, looking at Qiao.It took Howe six years to travel five kilometers from Qiao's home to the shrine.No.After running for 17 years since he was two years old, finally, once again, he ran in front of Qiao.

Qiao felt that it was very strange for him to look at her smiling all the time without speaking.Looking at Hao's eyes were as affectionate as when he subconsciously whistled at him when they first met.Coincidentally satisfied.After six years, it's finally here. "What are you going to say? Howe, I'll wait." He also hoarse.He waits.

"I've been waiting since I was two years old," Qiao said.

I have been waiting since I was two years old.Howe felt a pain in his heart.He raised his head and was about to apologize, when he caught a glimpse of that smug smile, he understood it in his heart, and his face burned instantly.Sly man!Laughing so arrogantly!Are you sure I will say that?

Howe shut his mouth.Refuse to say that shameful thing.Hold your beating heart.It feels full and warm to breathe.

"I really want to shoot!" Howe heard such a voice coming from his body.This feeling is so strong that it almost numbs the depths of his chest.

"I really want to hear the sound of my ball falling into the glove. It's like receiving a skillful ball at the shrine for the first time. Use all the muscles in your body, every sense, and concentrate on feeling the little monster being hit by your big hands Hold it tightly in the palm of your hand. Everything that makes Qiao happen to be in my hands." Thinking this way, Howe propped up his knees, panting heavily under the steps.

"Howe, let's pitch," he heard Cho say.

"it is good."

Qiao put his hands around Hao's neck.Looking up, her bright eyes stared at him. "Catch it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao felt light on his body, and turned his body upside down.The ground can be seen spinning.Terrified, he hugged Hao tightly under him.

"Go home." Carrying Qiao on his shoulders, Hao hurriedly ran home on the ridge of the field where dandelions were flying.
