Chapter 22: The Abdominal Black Hole and the Confused Mate
The next day, Seigaku and Shitenhoji started their practice matches for the first and second years, but without the third-year seniors, Seigaku's lineup was not going smoothly.
Looking at Taicheng scratching his head and face, Yafeng sighed, it seems that the defending champion Qingxue will have a hard time sitting firmly next year.
"Hey, Zhou Zhu, are you guys really not going to help?" Yafeng asked Notwo, who was watching from the side.
"They need to grow up on their own," said Ni Feng with a serious face, but immediately returned to his smiling expression and asked: "It seems that next year, Ya Feng and Qie Yuan Jun will also be independent, right? Ya Feng should be fine, shouldn't he?"
"It seems that we, Ritou Gakuen, are more formidable in this regard. Akira and I had already accomplished this during the national tournament." Yakaze said nonchalantly.
He was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly covered it up and said, "Indeed, the King of the Sea is still as tight as ever."
"Haha, that's right. With Kaito Ichinose around, no one dares to slack off," said Yafeng, whose eyes showed both urgency and determination at this moment. "However, Shūsuke, do you believe it? The champion next year will definitely belong to Rikaidai."
Bu'er looked at Yafeng with a firm gaze and said, "Perhaps, with such a good manager like Yafeng, Wang Zhe Li Hai will probably regain its former glory. However, our Qing Xue won't be careless either."
"That's for sure, but shouldn't we put out the fire at Haitang now?"
Bu'er followed Ya Feng's line of sight and saw that Hai Tang had already beaten Huang Ji to the point where he was left with only half his life.
The two coaches then came forward and delayed the start of the practice match.
After leaving the Temple of Four Heavenly Kings, Yafeng and Baishi, Kenyo, Fujii, Kikumaru, and Taishi went to eat takoyaki together. Each of them held several skewers of takoyaki in their hands and sat down in a small park.
"Mmm, it's really delicious. If only there was a bit more chili, it would be perfect." Yafeng said contentedly as he continued to stuff his mouth.
"Hehe, watching Yafeng eat is really delicious." Niji smiled brightly and said.
The other implications in the words were heard but didn't want to argue or retract, this kind of eating appearance may be ugly but it's very comfortable.
"Hehe, yeah, Yafeng, let's have a contest! See who can eat faster." Chrysanthemum didn't understand the underlying meaning of Wudi's words and just thought that Yafeng was like him.
"No." Yafeng refused bluntly, she liked eating but didn't want to eat that way.
"Why?" Kikumaru asked with a hint of resentment.
"If I did that, I wouldn't be able to savor it slowly." Yafeng said with a serious expression and then went to take the takoyaki from Jianye's hand.
Watching Ya Feng confidently take away the whole grilled octopus in his hand, Ken couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Bai Shi was watching Ya Feng wolfing down his food, and he was already shocked in his heart. As a member of a noble family, from a young age they were bound by rules and regulations that dictated what they could and couldn't do. But Ya Feng was doing whatever he pleased, even if it was just for this one moment, wasn't it something they wouldn't have dared to think about before?
"Baishi, aren't you going to eat? Give it to me, okay? This takoyaki is too delicious." Yafeng finished the one in his hand and set his sights on Baishi's.
"Ah, you eat." Baishi came back to himself and handed the grilled octopus in his hand to Yafeng, with a hint of indulgence and longing in his eyes.
"Hehe, thanks."
Yah Feng took over without hesitation and continued her wolf-like devouring, completely unaware of the four intense gazes fixed on her.
After eating and drinking, Yafeng received a call from Sanada to return to Kanagawa early. Yafeng had to bid farewell to them and followed Kenmotsu back to the Nintama household to pack his bags and head back to Kanagawa.
After returning to the Ashida house, it was discovered that Ashida Hinari and Shiroishi Erika also had to hurry back to Tokyo, so the three of them traveled together.
After getting on the bus, Nifu Hidari clung to Yafeng and asked questions.
"Yafeng, aren't you only 12 years old this year? How come you're already in junior high?"
"Because I skipped a grade in China, I was already one year younger than my peers. Before coming to Japan, I was just about to enter junior high school in China, but when I came here, it was the middle of an academic year. I didn't want to go back and read first year again, so I told Grandfather that I would directly enter second year, which is why I ended up being two years younger than them." Yafeng explained carefully.
"Wow, really? So Yafeng, have you been able to keep up with the coursework since you got here?"
"Ah, it's okay, I can keep up."
"Wow, Yafeng you're so cool!" Hineri Naru gazed at Yafeng with sparkling eyes.
Huh? Yafeng's head is full of black lines, who can tell her what's going on? Is this Miss Nintou Hinata really eighteen years old?
"Yafeng, Huirina is like that, sometimes she's like a kid, and sometimes she's a bit neurotic." said Shirashi Eriko to Yafeng.
Yah Feng smiled helplessly and nodded in understanding, but are you sure it's just a little bit?
"Hey, Yafeng, you're so cute, are there any boys chasing after you?" Hideri Natsuki continued to ask.
Yah Feng felt speechless and wanted to roll her eyes at her, but she restrained herself, forcing out a faint smile and saying: "No."
"How is it possible? Isn't this age the easiest for opposite sex to develop good feelings? Or is someone fond of you but you don't know?"
"Uh."
"I think it must be like this, our family's Yafeng is so cute, how could she not have anyone who likes her? Actually, I think Takanosuke is quite good, or else I'll help you two get together, Hidariko what do you think?"
Watching her get more and more excited, the more she talks the more off-topic she gets, Renaria's tone is no longer speechless, but directly wants to ignore her, yet someone else gives her face and takes over the conversation.
"Hehe, Yafeng and Xiaocang? I'm just suitable." Hakuishi Eri smiled brightly.
Heavens! Why do I feel like I see the shadows of Niji and Seiichi on Hitori's body? One is muddle-headed, one is sinister, heavens won't play with me like this.
Just as Yafeng was struggling in her heart, Shirakawa Eriko gave her a very supportive audience, and she couldn't help but think that she's really a lovely girl, just right for Kozou.
"I think Yafeng and Yusuke are also a good match, but now that she's become a member of our household, Yusuke doesn't have a chance. Hinata didn't notice Yafeng's frustration or Shirakawa Eriko's happiness as she continued her own worries. "But no matter who Yafeng ends up with in the future, they'll have to pass through me first. They have to be a handsome guy, otherwise my cute little sister would be wasted. That kid from Tsuba's household is pretty good-looking, if he and Yafeng were together I'd definitely agree. That kid from Toyoshima's household isn't bad either... but that kid from Sanada's household has a face like someone owes him money or something. He's only 15 but acts like a 50-year-old old man, so serious all the time. Ah! Yafeng is also a Sanada, they're probably related? No way, how can she marry her own brother? That's not allowed."
Listening to Nino's increasingly ridiculous words, Mika wisely chose to ignore her, while Shiraki Hana saw that there was no more fun to be had and also ignored the still muttering Nino.
Shinso Hifumi's imagination ran wild from Osaka to Kanagawa, and Yafumi finally understood why Shinso said his older sister was a rare gem. Yafumi almost jumped out of the car, thinking that he couldn't handle such a rare gem of an older sister for now.
"Goodbye, Hanae sister, Eriko sister." Yafeng said with a big smile.
"See you later." Shiroishi Eriko had an understanding expression, as for Shinotsuka Hina she was still entangled in her own thoughts, so please ignore her.
