"OPPA, why do you want to compete again?"

Following him step by step, Zheng Xiujing walked back to the division where they were originally located with him, and the eyes that were tightly tied to him were full of puzzlement.

"Didn't you all quarrel with them?"

"What if I quarrel with them, it's just that I can't get angry...... They're all adults, and this is still their place, so what can we do but quarrel?"

"Of course, there are other ways. ”

"What?"

"Aren't I doing it now?"

"It's not...... OPPA！”

Ignoring the bunch of meaningful stares behind her, the girl stared at him, changed to Korean, which only they could understand, and whispered, "We don't really need to pay attention to them, do we?"

As she spoke, a faint anxiety was revealed from the expression on which she bit her lower lip slightly.

Not for himself, but for him.

"Why were you so angry before, since it wasn't necessary?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing his own words, he casually asked such a sentence without knowing what to do.

Zheng Xiujing choked for a moment, and after a while, she frowned lightly and muttered, "I'm angry that they call you OPPA...... You've worked hard!"

"So. ”

He put the baseball gloves back on, then looked up and glanced at the frowning girl, "I'm angry right now, too." ”

Biting her lip imperceptibly, Zheng Xiujing whispered to him: "That can't be helped, OPPA, we ...... again"

"I'm not angry at what they call me, I'm angry at myself. ”

He raised his hand and interrupted the girl.

"Angry with yourself?" Zheng Xiujing was stunned and looked at him suspiciously.

"It's nothing, I'm just...... I'm just angry at my expression. ”

He nodded casually, and then in a tone that sounded like there was no fluctuation, he said softly something that touched his heart inexplicably: "If, if I had won just now, Xiujing, when you face them...... You don't have to look so weak, do you?"

“……”

couldn't help but take a slight breath, Zheng Xiujing stared at him with an indescribable look, "So...... OPPA: Do you want to do it again?"

"Hmm. He nodded again, "You just heard that, right? If they don't win once, they won't be convinced." ”

"But!"

A strange hint of irritability welled up in his expression for no reason, Zheng Xiujing bit her lip and looked at him directly, "Even if we compare again, it will ......."

Knowing what Zheng Xiujing wanted to say, he raised his hand again, and then raised his face, and a pair of dark and bright eyes looked at the girl's eyes full of complexity so quietly.

look, there is an indescribable seriousness.

"Don't worry, this time, I'll win. I...... I don't like the tone of their voice when they talk to you. ”

In a flash.

The eyes that were as clear as spring water seemed to be rippled by a small pebble that had been suddenly dropped.

Zheng Xiujing was stunned for a few seconds, stunned to see the rare look on his face when he spoke to himself.

A real gloom seemed to be slightly frowned by him, and through the air, it was slowly transmitted to his heart, so that he could feel his mood very clearly at this moment.

The breath between her noses suddenly shortened, and Zheng Xiujing put aside her small face, flapped her eyelashes, and looked for another focus that could bring her together.

An unprecedented panic quietly came out of her heart.

Seeing this, he blinked, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and didn't say much, just grabbed one hand on his shoulder, bent his elbow with the other, and moved his arm down, and once again began to prepare for the exercise.

During the event, he inadvertently turned his gaze to the other side not far away, and happened to meet a pair of eyes that were looking towards him.

Putting down the bottle of mineral water handed by his girlfriend, Tiger grinned at him distantly, showing a mouthful of white teeth, just as he had promised him the sudden request.

His eyebrows twitched slightly, his eyes narrowed, and he smiled strangely.

The two of them looked at each other like this, and it seemed that there was an aura of confrontation that had only appeared between two girls before, and it was born between them.

On the pitch, applause and cheers always belong to the person who scores, not the one who passes the ball in the middle, and not the crowd who cheers for everyone outside the field.

To be honest, from the very beginning, he himself had little desire to participate in today's seemingly childish competition.

Not only because of the origin of this competition, but also because he didn't like the content of this kind of competition.

He has always been accustomed to being alone, so he is able to realize the importance of his companions more clearly.

In his opinion, whether it is baseball, football, or basketball or anything like that, they are classified as collective sports precisely because they need to be "collective".

With a single part of a sport like this one, he wasn't even interested in it because of the limitations of the venue.

If batting is the essence of baseball, is it just the essence of a sport?

The concept of "sports" was born in people's brains and originated from people's needs for entertainment.

He wasn't reprimanding anything, but he didn't know if it could be called a baseball activity, which made him feel both boring and meaningless.

The reason that really drove him to pick up that baseball bat, as he said before, was because of Zheng Xiujing.

It's also because of Zheng Xiujing, even if he feels that it is meaningless, he is still cheeky and asks Tiger and them to compete again.

And this time, he won't be so casual anymore.

"So, OPPA, do you really want to compete with Tiger again?"

"yes, the sooner we can get it done, we can go back sooner. ”

Zheng Xiujing blinked when she heard this, and she couldn't help muttering: "It's okay to go back early, and we won't ......be in a hurry."

"Who said you weren't in a hurry?" Glancing at the girl who seemed to be lucky, he said lightly, "You haven't finished your study task today." ”

“…… What?"

When Zheng Xiujing, who was full of girlish feelings not long ago, heard this, her face collapsed after she was stunned, and she looked at him with a very unreasonable look, and there was a little aggrieved feeling in her tone: "Do you still want to tutor your homework?"

"Knoledge is poer."

Very calmly threw out the famous saying of Bacon, he turned his head to look at the girl, the corners of his mouth rose, and a "very friendly" smile appeared from the equally green and handsome face.

"It's obviously OPPA, you agree with me to come out!" Zheng Xiujing glared at her, unwilling to resist.

As a result, he was still defeated by his fluttering words.

"Coming out to meet up with friends and tutoring on homework, are two things that conflict?"

He blinked, with an innocent expression that tickled his teeth, and then said in a tone of ruthlessness, "So, when we are separated from Tiger and the others, we will go home and continue the lesson that we left off." ”

“OPPA~~”

"Huh?"

Zheng Xiujing blinked her eyes vigorously, a big flattering smile appeared on her little face, and she grabbed his arm very doggedly, shaking and shaking, "You say, OPPA, the two of us are also 'boyfriend and girlfriend' now, right?"

"Hey, don't. ”

Unexpectedly, someone didn't give her Zheng Xiujing face, with a polite and restrained smile, he waved his hand and said: "Let's keep a little distance in private, a big star like you, I'm really ...... Don't dare to approach. ”

Zheng Xiujing immediately rolled her eyes cutely, gritted her teeth in her mouth, and silently made a few lip shapes.

"What did you say?"

"What's wrong with you, not Nancy?"

Zheng Xiujing glared at him angrily, and her little face showed undisguised dissatisfaction.

He laughed and shook his head, "I'm not like Nancy. ”

"What's the difference? You all speak in such a hateful tone!"

"Of course it's different, if she really treats you as some kind of unreachable star, is it possible to be so close to you like now?"

Zheng Xiujing was stunned.

Immediately after, she pursed her lips with an unnatural expression, looked at the expression on his face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said, "That's not close, OPPA, you obviously don't know anything......"

"I don't know what it is, so whether it's you for me or me for you, it's probably going to take a while to eliminate the distance between this 'big star' and 'ordinary people'. ”

The corners of his mouth turned up, and in a relaxed tone, he uttered something that only the two of them could understand.

However, after hearing his words, Zheng Xiujing neither refuted loudly with disdain, nor complained about him for changing the topic, but was silent for a while, and then subconsciously blurted out: "In my eyes, I'm not a big star in front of you at OPPA......"

"Well, why?" he asked, curiously, the answer was a bit of a novelty.

Zheng Xiujing didn't say anything, just glanced at him a few times with a very strange look, and then silently lowered her gaze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Seeing this, his expression moved slightly, and he didn't choose to ask further, after thinking about it, he picked up another topic and said: "Speaking of which, I'm a little curious, when you met Nancy and Tiger before, the relationship between the two of them, huh...... Is it as good as it is now?"

Zheng Xiujing looked up at him, her eyes seemed to be unclear.

He raised his hand slightly embarrassed and touched his chin before he fully expressed his meaning, "I don't mean anything else...... However, I used to think that people of your age were ...... of boys and girls, falling in love will ...... Will ......"

Suddenly, she understood what he meant, and continued: "Will it be very naïve?"

"Ah, yes......" He opened his mouth before smiling embarrassedly at Zheng Xiujing, "I originally thought that the feelings you said were just ordinary good feelings, but ...... I look at Nancy and the two of them, and there is nothing unnatural about getting along. Did I misunderstand it before, or was Nancy a special pair?"

At this time, he seemed to be transformed into a curious baby, as if he was touching a novel field that he had never been exposed to before, and looked at Zheng Xiujing with a strange face full of curiosity.

“…… OPPA, you're saying it appropriately, but why do I still feel so uncomfortable in my heart?"

Zheng Xiujing clasped her hands, raised her eyebrows at him, and snorted angrily and said something that made him not know how to answer: "Don't forget, OPPA, you and I are in the same situation in the eyes of others now!"

He grinned and said, "I'm not saying anything bad, it's just curiosity." ”

"That's why I didn't beat OPPA you~"

Demonstratively waved his tender little fist at him, and then Zheng Xiujing thoughtfully turned her head to look at Nancy, who was still tired of being with her boyfriend not far away.

Xiaozui pouted again, and she muttered in a low voice, "That girl and her boyfriend are not like OPPA, you said...... You don't know how naïve they are, I still remember that she also has a nickname for her boyfriend, called 'Lost Angel Boy', eh~~ It's disgusting!"

“‘Lost Angel Boy’？”

"That's right!" Zheng Xiujing pouted and explained, "Isn't her boyfriend from Los Angeles......?" What 'you are my angel', 'I am willing to fall for you', eh~~ In short, people can't wait to beat the two of them when they hear it!"

"Huh. ”

He couldn't help but chuckle out loud when he saw her speak in the tone of a black girl, and then rub her arms herself, looking like she couldn't stand goosebumps.

But then, he blinked, and said without thinking:

"So, do you want a 'Lost Angel Boy' too?"

“…… Huh?" didn't react, Zheng Xiujing looked at him slightly stunned.

He smiled at her, then rolled his eyes, raised his arms high, waved to the black referee who was in charge of the game off the field, and then walked over to his own base bag and stood still.

"Whether it's for the angels to fall, or for the angels to fall, in short...... I'm in charge of standing in front of you, right?"

Turning his head to look, Tiger on the other side also happened to be in place, and he also turned his head to look at him, still with that silly smile on his face.

He couldn't help but smile brightly, and said softly in a voice that only two people could hear:

"You know, right? I want to get along with you. Now that you've become your temporary boyfriend, ...... Everything others can do, I will do for you. For you, I'll win...... Certain. ”

For a moment, Zheng Xiujing seemed to be stunned.

In an instant, she pursed her lips tightly, and on her green and fair little face, a pair of unblinking apricot eyes looked at him intently.

In fact, whether it was from his words and deeds, or from the eyes in which he looked at himself or Nancy from time to time, Zheng Xiujing could see one thing.

In his eyes, he thinks they are all a group of children.

This is normal, in today's day, sometimes his overly mature performance always makes her feel a little uncomfortable, it's like a peer party squeezed into a supervised adult, thinking that Nancy should think about the same as herself, so she doesn't show a particularly warm look at him.

But......

Zheng Xiujing bit her lower lip and frowned at him.

She felt that he was a little wrong.

He thought that he and others were immature and naïve, but he never thought of ...... He was only a few years older than them.

The exchanges between him and Tiger, which no one noticed, weren't they a sign of a young man's battle of spirits?

He still has a pride and arrogance in his bones.

It's just that he didn't notice it, or he didn't realize it.

In Zheng Xiujing's eyes, he is actually very similar to them.

The young man is a stubborn cow, and she and Nancy are stubborn about a little verbal argument between the little girls, while he and Tiger are stubborn about being the "guardian knights" around them.

She knew that he wanted to take care of himself in place of his mother when he was outside.

He is the same as them, the same stubborn, the same stubborn, the same stubborn...... Children.

A shrill whistle sounded.

Zheng Xiujing came back to her senses as if she was startled, looked at his side face with complicated eyes, and then suddenly took a deep breath, squeezed her small fist, her cheeks flushed with a shallow flush, and said to him: "OPPA, come on! if you win...... I'll give you a reward!"

"Huh, reward, what......"

"Wait until you win!"

Leaving the words behind, she turned and retreated to the side, but looking at the appearance of the little face hanging down, I don't know why, he felt a little like he was running away.

"What......"

Blinking in confusion, before he could think deeply, a young male voice that was already a little familiar reached his ears from afar, making him turn his head to look.

"Leo, even if you compete again, you still can't win against me!"

Despite the unpleasant words, the sunny smile on the face of Tiger, a black boy, still made people feel no ill feelings, and next to them, there were several young boys and girls who were in charge of howling ghosts and wolves.

"I'm sorry, Tiger, this time my girlfriend said that I will definitely win. ”

He smiled and shouted out a response that made Zheng Xiujing want to bury her blushing little face in the crook of her arm.

"Win?"

Nancy, who was standing next to her boyfriend, pouted and muttered in a low voice, "You still want to win...... like this"

Unexpectedly, as if hearing the black girl's self-muttering, he glanced at her from a distance with deep meaning, and said with a smile in his mouth: "If you don't believe it...... Let's give it a try?"

A little stunned, then Nancy glared at him unconvinced.

Why did this guy say such a big thing?

……

Ten minutes later, however.

"Bang!"

In the audience's exclamations that seemed to be in disbelief, the black referee standing on the sidelines was also stunned for a moment, but still blew the whistle, waved to Tiger, who had already looked solemn in the field, and then turned his head to turn a new page on the scoreboard beside him.

——9：10！

The former, is Tiger.
