(Continued)

Shi was stunned one by one, as if his heart was being seen through. Strictly speaking, he didn't really think about this, but because his father was so little, he really had this idea. Or rather, this is what he really thinks subconsciously, but he didn't realize it before.

"His dreams?" Shiyi pretended to be disapproving and said, "Then tell me, what is his dream?" ”

"How do I know? And it doesn't matter if I know his dreams or not, looking at your appearance, he should have really told you about his dreams, right? Daddy said, "If I'm not mistaken, the reason why you are struggling with whether to stay in Japan or return to China is because of his dream, right?" ”

- This father, I really didn't find him so powerful before, and he saw through what I had buried in my heart for so many years.

"Yes, he said he wanted to be a player on the Chinese team,...... Shiiichi confessed, "and said that he wanted to be Yao Ming in baseball, and he wanted to beat Japan and the United States in the Olympics and win the gold medal......

"That's what he dreamed of? Did he tell you? Father asked.

"Yes, when we were in the fourth grade......

Then my father laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Shiichi said unhappily.

"It's nothing, I just think it's similar to what I thought, that kid does have such a dream......"

"Really...... But I don't know if he still has that kind of dream after knowing his condition......" Shikichi said, "However, I still firmly believe that if he is alive and well, it may really be possible for Yao Ming in baseball...... So I don't allow anyone to laugh at his dreams! ”

"If that kid had been healthy, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come to Japan, maybe he would have been going to school in China, and if he liked baseball, he might have gone to a sports school and become a baseball player...... "Sometimes you really have to believe in fate, and the more you rebel against fate, the worse fate will become...... Even so, the boy chose to rebel against fate, which I have to admire......"

"Then I'm ......"

"So you want to fulfill his dream in his place?" The father said coldly, "Did you misunderstand something?" The world landscape of a sport is not changed upside down just by the emergence of one or two geniuses in one country. Japan's baseball did not develop overnight to become what it is today, and without a certain historical and cultural accumulation and mass foundation, how could there be today's Japanese baseball? I've been to China several times, and even in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, it's hard to see the soil for the development of baseball, like a desert, and it's a fantasy to dream of ......."

His father denied his dream, just as he had denied it in the first place. What is the truth, maybe he understood it better at that time than he does now......

"Speaking of which, Xiaoqi is Chinese, and it is understandable that he has such a dream...... But you haven't renounced your Japanese citizenship yet, and if you want to play baseball in the future, you have the resources and conditions, so why should you go to China at the expense of the near future? If it's for something else, I can understand that you want to play baseball, and you have to give up superior conditions, it's a contradiction at all! ”

"......Contradicting the near and the far," Shikiichi sneered, "At the beginning, he was the rising star of Japanese athletics, and he didn't want such a good future, but who was the person who suddenly started playing baseball?" ”

The father's expression immediately showed embarrassment, and he hurriedly said, "I...... I...... I'm not in the same situation as yours! ”

"Dad, it's not that I don't understand what you're saying, it's just that ......," Shiyi said, "What I'm pursuing is actually to let him live in my heart all the time, and to realize his dream on his behalf is a solution I just came up with, so ...... So it has nothing to do with whether the road is difficult or not, whether it works or not......"

***

It's been more than a week since Shikiichi had that "dream" again, and the time for "dreaming" feels much shorter than before. When I entered that "dream" later, it was already before the start of the county competition.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, how's the elbow injury?" Still as concerned as ever.

"Thanks to you, it's much better, it doesn't affect your normal life, and you can do some simple warm-up activities," Shiichi said, "but to be on the safe side, if you want to return to the pitcher's hill, you will have to do a little more rehab training, and I'm afraid that the first two games of the county tournament will have to be handed over to other pitchers." ”

"yes, that's great," said the device...... "By the way, there's a question that might be a little early to ask, but it may not be too late to ask when the time comes...... What are your plans for the future? How many pellets should have contacted you by now, right? Will you follow the path of professional baseball in the future, right? ”

"I'm asking this question again, and I've said I don't want to be distracted by these things, but since you said that, I'll tell you what I think," Shikiichi said, "and I'm not actually going to get into the ...... of professional baseball."

"Why? You obviously have that potential, why do you ......?"

"Even if I go to professional baseball, you're not there anymore, and I can't stay without you......" Shikiichi said, "but I did think of a way to keep you in my heart forever......"

"What's the method?"

"This method is ......"

Immediately, the dream that the device once said to himself was exactly what he said.

After hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and then slowly said, "Why are you ......?"

"That day, my father casually said, do you want to take your dream as my dream, I thought it was not bad when I heard it, so I thought so." Shiichi said with a lie.

"But your nationality is still Japanese, right? Isn't it strange that you want to represent the Chinese team? ”

"It will be good to become a naturalized citizen at that time, anyway, I am originally a Chinese-Japanese mixed-race, and it is not strange to become a Chinese citizen."

"I said you......" he said, turning his back to his body, "why did you do this for me?" ”

"Didn't I just say that?" I said, "I want you to live in my heart all the time, you are really special to me."

"Yes......"

At this moment, Shiichi suddenly noticed one thing - the sun had unconsciously set in the west, and the sky on the stadium looked like a sunset.

"You need to be careful...... "That guy might come out soon......"

"The guy you're talking about is ...... Could it be ......?" Shikiichi was surprised.

"It's Li Yuan, he hasn't completely retreated......," he said, "I can only suppress him temporarily, he will come back sooner or later, maybe soon...... I'm afraid that guy still needs to be faced by you personally......"
