Chapter Ninety-Six: I Almost Died
The more a person lacks something, the more likely he is to be attracted to the person who has it, and the easier it is to maintain a constant and intense focus on what he lacks – The Sources of Good and Evil, by Paul Bloom.
Kitahara Shuji's parents died since he was a child, he was displaced, and he was desperately lacking family warmth, whether he thought about it or not, he instinctively envied the Fukuzawa family, where a bunch of people were crowded together, caring for each other in their own ways, hoping that he could have a similar home in the future.
However, his life experience has shaped his personality into a rational type, and he knows very well that it will take a long, long time for him to have a normal family, so his subconscious will naturally begin to look for a substitute, that is, a person who can make him feel the warmth between people, so the next day off he wants to go to cheer for the fox friend competition, he didn't even think about it and made an appointment with Yoko, just like a brother taking his sister out to play.
If you want to analyze people's behavior as a low-level psychological analysis, the above is the fundamental reason for Kitahara Shuji's daily behavior this time, but in fact, Kitahara Shuji came back from work at night and asked Yoko if she wanted to go to a baseball game together tomorrow, and Yoko happily agreed.
It doesn't make sense to analyze and analyze in life, just act with your heart. If you have to find a reason, you can write a 3,000-page analysis report.
Yoko Ono attaches great importance to this date, almost no one in her life has offered to take her out to play, although she is not interested in such a thing as a baseball game at all, but she is still excited and almost loses sleep at night, and gets up early in the morning to carefully match her clothes - in fact, there is nothing to match, she has only three or five civilian clothes that can be worn out, and she basically uses school uniforms on weekdays.
But to Yoko's surprise, today was not the day when she and her Oni-san were alone, and early in the morning in the snow she happily ran with her tongue out, cheerfully like a big dog that had broken a rope. Yoko was a little disappointed in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and still called Sister Yukiri with a sweet smile.
Kitahara Shuji didn't expect to be able to go to the snow. He thought that Xueli would ask Dongmei a question, and Dongmei would reward her with a head hammer and the matter would be over. He asked Yukiri a little strangely, "Your sister agreed?"
"I said I'd come to you, and she agreed!"
Kitahara Shuji smashed his mouth, thinking it's okay, one sheep is driving, two sheep are also released, isn't it just to watch the child, it's not a big deal.
He took the money and led the two "children" out of the door, got in the car and went to the Okazaki Civic Stadium.
The road is still relatively long. Because of the number of Michito schools in each prefecture of Japan, some places with a large number of teams will be divided into two divisions, and Aichi Prefecture is the center of Kanzhong in Japan, and it has also been divided into two - the private Daifuku Gakuen was assigned to the West Aichi Division, that is, the universities in the Nagoya area and the Owari area for a one-on-one elimination tournament, and finally decided a place to enter Koshien, and there is also an East Aichi Division, but that is where the universities in the Mikawa area will have a big fight.
Yukiri was very satisfied with being able to liberate the day, and she was extremely cheerful along the way, and she even wanted to take Mokujiro to hang out with her, but was decisively stopped by Kitahara Shuji. After she got on the bus, there were obviously many seats in front, but she forced Kitahara Shuji to walk back, and shouted happily: "Let's sit in the back, let's sit in the back!"
I don't know what the reason is in the last row of the bus, the seat is always a head higher than the front, Yukiri took Kitahara Shuji and Yoko to the back and sat down, and asked a little excitedly, "Look, does it feel like an ancient emperor sitting here?"
Kitahara Shuji really didn't say anything when he saw it, he was pressed by the snow to sit in the middle of the last row, facing the aisle, looking at the left and right sides of the chair backs, it was really a bit of a civil and military minister to the left and right.
This product is quite self-satisfied!
He tried it and smiled and wanted to give up this place to Yukiri, "You like you to sit here!"
Xueli shook his head, a pair of beautiful eyes sparkled, and he said happily: "Let's take turns to sit on the dragon chair, come here today, we will be blessed and enjoy our old age in peace!"
That's fine, in exchange for the troublesome ones. Kitahara Shuji's buttocks were lifted and ready to fall back, but unexpectedly, the bus braked sharply at this time, and his center of gravity was in front, and he couldn't help but rush forward - practicing swordsmanship is not becoming a god, which can't violate the rules of physics!
But after all, there are benefits to practice, and you don't panic when you encounter problems. Even if he lost his center of gravity in an accident at the moment of getting up, he quickly tried his best to stabilize his body, and at the same time grabbed the backs of the seats on both sides in front of him, but as soon as his body was planted forward, he had already pulled her back in the snow behind him, and Kitahara Shuiji hit her only to feel a burst of softness with full elasticity, and was almost bounced out by half of her rabbit - fortunately, the snow was tight enough, otherwise it might be better to fall headlong directly!
"Onisan, you don't matter, right?" Yoko was startled and hurriedly cared, but Yukiri didn't care about having some physical contact with Kitahara Shuji, and rubbed the soft rabbit and said, "It's so dangerous, you almost died!"
The emperor is really a high-risk profession! Kitahara Shuji first comforted Yoko, and then said to Yukiri: "I don't deserve this emperor, I will pass the throne to you, change it!"
No more sitting, it's unsafe and uncomfortable here.
Yoko smiled and patted the seat next to her, and said sweetly, "Then Oni-san sit inside!" It's better to separate Oni-san from Sister Yukiri, this Sister Yukiri is stupid.
"You sit in and I'm next to you, Yoko. Kitahara Shuji squeezed Yoko to the window position, and Yukiri unceremoniously sat down on the dragon chair in the middle, supporting her knees with her hands, looking left and right, very imperial majesty - Erha version.
Kitahara Shuji watched her all the way, lest she fly out in this posture with another sudden brake after a while. Fuyumi asked him to take his sister out to play, and he was embarrassed to return a snow with a blue nose and swollen face.
It is estimated that Dongmei used to work hard enough with Xueli - the main problem is that ordinary people can't screw Xueli, she is interested, and she really has a lot of power.
Fortunately, the journey was safe and sound, Yukiri was obviously experienced as an emperor on the bus, no matter how the car shook, she didn't move, and she casually chatted with Kitahara Shuji Yoko and arrived in Okazaki City.
Okazaki is the former capital of Mikawa, where Tokugawa Ieyasu was born, and the old turtle Tokugawa Ieyasu was born, and he survived the leading Japanese figures of the time, and finally ushered in the 265-year-old Edo shogunate period. Today, it is the center of Aichi Prefecture, where the plains and mountains meet, and regional competitions are held here for the convenience of each school.
Kitahara Shuji naturally hasn't been here, but he's not a person who is afraid of life, and he led the two girls to the Okazaki Civic Stadium quickly - it's not too big, and it looks like it can have 17,800 seats, which shouldn't be the number one for the Japanese Wild Stadium, far worse than Koshien and Jingu Stadium.
Shikijima Ritsu received an email notice from Kitahara Shuji and was waiting at the gate of the stadium early, he was much more concerned about Uchida Yuma than Kitahara Shuji, last night Uchida Yuma was excited and crazy, he called Kitahara Shuji early in the morning and apologized and said that he would go first, and took the morning bus and ran to comfort his good friends.
However, he looked at the two tails behind Kitahara Shuji, one big and one small-Yukiri was picked by Dongmei, and Dongmei was very good at dressing up girls, Xueli was wearing a light blue dress with a white ribbon tied around her waist, which looked very gentle and girlish, and Yoko, not to mention, was very cute and cute, and good-looking people looked good even if they wore curtains, and the slightly old little skirt was worn by her in a classical style.
In Shikijima Ritsu's impression, Kitahara Shuji is still quite proud, except for himself and Uchida Yuma, he is always alone, this suddenly got together with two beautiful girls, one big and one small, he was a little uncomfortable, and asked hesitantly: "Kitahara-kun, these two are ......"
Kitahara Shuji hurriedly introduced them to each other: "Ritsu, this is Yukiri Fukuzawa-san, and this is my sister Yoko." Yukiri, Yoko, this is my friend Ritsukun Shikishima, who is in the same class as me, and this time I am also here to cheer on another friend. ”
Shikijima Ritsu is the kind of shy teenager who can give people a sense of docility at a glance, Yoko hid behind Kitahara Shuji and observed for a while, feeling that Onisan's friend looked okay, so he quickly flashed out and bowed lightly: "Shikijima-senpai, hello, first time we met, I'm Onisan's sister Yoko Ono, I'm in the fifth grade this year, please take care of me." ”
She was a little happy, and felt that Kitahara Shuji really valued her, and began to introduce her to friends as a younger sister, which was definitely a happy big step in terms of relationship, not losing to Armstrong's first footprint on the moon.
And Yukiri is still polite, and he bowed happily: "Shikijima-san, hello, Xiuji's friend is my friend, please take care of me in the future." ”
Shikijima Ritsu also hurried to return the salute, and it is quite troublesome for Japanese people to know each other, and there is no way to do it. However, he was a little surprised, but Yoko didn't pay much attention to it, peeked at Xueli carefully, and asked hesitantly, "Fukuzawa...... Is it the sister of Fukuzawa-san, and the Fukuzawa-san from Class H?"
Fukuzawa Fuyumi must have a rather bad relationship with Kitahara-kun, right? Why did she bring her sister here, and it sounds like the relationship is still very close?
Kitahara Shuji interjected with a smile on the side: "That's right, it's her, have you heard her name?"
Shikijima Ritsu was a little distracted, and instinctively replied, "I've heard that Fukuzawa-san, who has been very famous recently, has been borrowed by various athletic clubs......" He was halfway through his speech, so he stopped talking.
Kitahara Shuji was confused, what does this mean? Did Yukiri make some planes at school again?
Yukiri didn't care, and said directly to Shikijima Ritsu: "You still call me Yukiri, Fukuzawa came to Fukuzawa, I can't tell if you're talking about me or my sister...... I can trust Xiuji's friends, and we will be friends in life and death in the future!"
Shikijima Ritsu was stunned, we just met and friendship has developed like this, but he understood a little in his heart why Kitahara Shuji and her names sounded more intimate, and he felt a little more comfortable-he thought that Kitahara Shuji had a lot to hide from him on weekdays-so he smiled: "Then Yukiri-san-chan can also call me Ritsu!"
He is still very easy to get along with, and his tutor is excellent.
Yukiri called out "Aru" very happily, she didn't care much about this kind of thing, just looked at the stadium and listened to the movement inside - other teams were playing, and there were faint cheers from time to time.
She was a little anxious and said, "Let's go and have a look first, shall we?"
Shikijima Ritsu said hello, took out a few hospitality tickets and led the team to the stadium passage, and Kitahara Shuji took Yoko's little hand to prevent the court from accidentally losing his sister in case of chaos in the stadium - he had never been to the stadium to watch a baseball game, in case it was as chaotic as a football game! I don't know if there are baseball hooligans, so be careful.
And Yoko belongs to the kind of child who is a little more precocious but has never seen much of the world. Her life is super simple, that is, she is ignored by her mother at home, and then she goes to school and is a little transparent in school, doing everything possible not to cause trouble to others.
If it weren't for Kitahara Shuji, she wouldn't have dared to run so far with others.
She also held Kitahara Shuji's hand tightly, preparing to watch a real baseball game in a real stadium for the first time in her life, with her Oni-san!
