Tears welled up in Nanao Akane's eyes again, but this time, she took the initiative to stand on tiptoe and kiss Chen Xiao's lips. Her world had long since consisted only of Chen Xiao.
A few more days passed.
Chen Xiao seemed to calm down a lot.
They also didn't go looking for any interesting paranormal events.
Instead, I suddenly returned to my daily routine.
During the day, she chats with Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama in the Service Club.
Occasionally, she would talk to Yang Nai.
In the evening, he went on a date with Akane Nanao at the baseball club and practiced playing baseball seriously.
Chen Xiao playing baseball has become the hottest topic in the entire Chiba Prefecture.
And he also participated in the competition.
Next Monday, Chen Xiao will lead the team in his first match.
Under the blazing sun, the air on the court was thick with heat. The stands were packed with excited girls, all their eyes fixed on the figure on the court—Chen Xiao.
He stood in the batter's box, bat casually resting on his shoulder, his posture relaxed yet exuding power. The pitcher nervously wiped away his sweat, took a deep breath, and threw a high-speed fastball with all his might!
"boom--!"
A crisp metallic clang rang out as the white ball transformed into a shooting star, streaking across the sky and hurtling straight towards the outfield stands!
"Home run! Another home run! Chen Xiao has once again demonstrated his amazing strength!" The commentator's excited voice echoed throughout the stadium.
The stands erupted instantly, with screams from the girls filling the air.
"Chen Xiaojun! He's so handsome!"
"Aaaaaah! I'm going to faint!"
"He just looked this way! Was he looking at me?"
Yui Yuigahama waved her light stick excitedly, her cheeks flushed: "Chen Xiaojun is really the best!"
Yumiko Miura bit her lip, looking at Akane Nanao on the sidelines with a complicated expression, and muttered under her breath, "Why is she allowed to stand next to him..."
Yukinoshita Haruno, as usual, stood next to Hiratsuka Shizuka. "Shizuka, spend more time with Chen Xiao. Actually, I don't mind if we like the same boy."
Hiratsuka Shizuka crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "Boring." But her gaze unconsciously followed Chen Xiao's figure.
—Amidst this frenzied atmosphere, in a corner of the audience, two girls with long brown-gold hair were staring intently at Chen Xiao.
"Sister, is that really... Brother Chen Xiao?" The younger sister, Tsubakihara Nina, wearing round-framed glasses, blinked, somewhat incredulous.
Yuna Tsubakihara didn't answer, but just stared blankly at the figure on the court, her fingertips unconsciously churning with thoughts.
Memories flood back like a tide—
It was a torrential downpour one evening. Young Nina, having forgotten her keys, stood soaked to the bone at her front door. Suddenly, the door next door opened, and a dark-haired boy peeked out.
"Do you want to come to my house first?" the boy—Chen Xiao as a child—asked, tilting his head.
Renna nodded timidly and followed him into the house. Chen Xiao's mother gently helped her change into dry clothes, while Chen Xiao awkwardly used a towel to dry her wet hair.
"Remember to bring your keys next time," he said with a smile.
Unfortunately, Chen Xiao's biological parents from China were in a car accident, and Chen Xiao was adopted by a Japanese woman named Misako.
Yuna's mind conjured up another image—five-year-old Chen Xiao fell in the park, scraping his knee and bleeding.
She rushed over in a panic, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, and carefully wiped his wound.
"Does it hurt?" she asked softly.
Chen Xiao shook his head and gave a bright smile: "If Sister Yuna helps me wipe it, it won't hurt anymore."
—And now, that once gentle and clumsy boy next door has grown into a dazzling star on the court.
"Brother Chen Xiao—!!" Nina suddenly stood up, cupped her hands around her mouth, and shouted, "Do you remember me? I'm Nina! Tsubakihara Nina!"
Her voice cut through the noisy stadium. Chen Xiao was about to return to the rest area when she heard the voice and looked up, her eyes precisely locking onto the two sisters in the stands.
For a moment, his eyes glazed over, and the two innocent faces in his memory overlapped with the girl in front of him.
Oh, it's those two beautiful sisters! They've grown into such lovely young women. Where is Mrs. Mira?
Chen Xiao recalled how he accidentally came to the Tsubakihara family when he was a child.
Then I saw Mrs. Mira, who seemed very lonely, always alone, and even secretly doing strange things with her hands.
Chen Xiao also saw it.
Mrs. Mira closed the door shyly.
A faint smile played at the corners of his lips as he nodded slightly to them.
“Sister! He remembers us!” Rina excitedly grabbed Yuna’s arm and shook it.
Yuna's cheeks flushed slightly, and her heart raced uncontrollably.
The match entered its final game, with the score remaining close and the entire audience holding their breath.
The pitcher gritted his teeth and threw a tricky slider. Chen Xiao's eyes sharpened, and he swung his bat fiercely—
"boom!!"
The white ball flew out like a cannonball, tracing a perfect arc, and finally crashed heavily onto the scoreboard!
"Game over! Victory belongs to Zongwu High School! Player Chen Xiao ends the game with a walk-off home run!"
The whole place was excited!
The girls' screams were deafening, and the Tsubakihara sisters couldn't help but stand up, their eyes filled with admiration.
Renna jumped up and down excitedly: "That's amazing! Brother Chen Xiao is definitely the best!"
The golden sunset shone on the awards stage.
Chen Xiao's pose, with one arm around Qiwei Qian's waist and the other holding the trophy high, was captured under the spotlight in a scene that would make any woman envious.
Akane Nanao nestled happily in Chen Xiao's arms. This intimate gesture drew murmurs of envy and jealousy from the stands.
Yuna Tsubaki unconsciously bit her lower lip, took out a mirror and looked at her face in the mirror, revealing her smooth and beautiful legs. She felt that she was no worse than Akane Nanao.
She couldn't take her eyes off Chen Xiao's figure.
Suddenly, memories of bandaging Chen Xiao's wounds and blowing on her ankle when I was a child came to mind.
"Sister, let's go find Brother Chen Xiao later!" Ren Nai suddenly stood up, her round-framed glasses gleaming with excitement.
She pointed at Chen Xiao, who was surrounded by reporters: "Sister, look, those women are about to devour Brother Chen Xiao!"
Indeed, amidst the frantic flashing of camera lights, female reporters kept pretending to stumble and leaning against Chen Xiao.
Yuna's pupils contracted slightly.
She saw Chen Xiao moving through the crowd with ease, but he never let go of the hand around Nanako Akane's waist.
That possessive attitude only intensified the girls' infatuation.
The entire stadium erupted in cheers, as Chen Xiao's charm and irresistible aura made the stadium completely packed.
Chapter 91 Nina, Yuna, Mira, who should we choose?
Half an hour later, when Chen Xiao helped Nana Akane squeeze out of the stadium door,
At the entrance, the figures of Tsubakihara Nina and Tsubakihara Yuna came into view.
Two familiar figures made him pause.
"Yuna-nee? Nina-nee?" His voice carried just the right amount of surprise and nostalgia.
Renna practically pounced on him, her long, golden-brown hair shimmering in the sunset, her alluring body pressed against Chen Xiao, as if one could hear her heartbeat.
"Brother Chen Xiao! You still remember us!" Behind her round-framed glasses, her eyes, so different from those of Nanao Akane yet equally captivating, were filled with fervor.
Chen Xiao whispered in Qiwei Qian's ear, "My childhood neighbor, it's been a long time."
Seven-tailed Fox nodded obediently: "Then I'll go back first... It's okay."
"Come to my house and wait for me." Chen Xiao gently kissed her forehead, watched her leave, then turned to the two sisters, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Girls really do change a lot as they grow up, I almost didn't recognize them."
Renna boldly took his arm: "Chen Xiao, I heard you have many girlfriends..." Her voice suddenly lowered, and her cheeks flushed, "Actually... I've always..."
"Rina!" Yuna suddenly interrupted, but hurriedly turned her face away when Chen Xiao looked at her.
She had deliberately worn a short skirt that showed off her beautiful legs today, but now she regretted that her outfit was too deliberate.
Renna glanced slyly at her sister, then suddenly leaned close to Chen Xiao's ear: "Remember the park where we used to play together when we were little? How about... we go for a walk there?"
Chen Xiao's gaze swept between the sisters, and finally she smiled and nodded.
The park was quiet and private in the twilight. Renna deliberately lagged behind a few steps, watching her sister and Chen Xiao walking ahead.
Rennai suddenly quickened her pace, squeezed between the two, and grabbed Chen Xiao's arm.
"Brother Chen Xiao, actually, I've liked you since I was little..." Her voice was as light as a feather.
Yuna's eyes widened in disbelief.
The younger sister she had cared for since childhood was now uttering the most deadly words with the most innocent expression.
Chen Xiao stopped and gently stroked Ren Nai's cheek: "Now that you mention it, I seem to remember. I remember you said you wanted to marry me when you were five years old."
“And now?” Rina tilted her head back, her eyes behind her glasses flashing with a dangerous light. “I’m not a child anymore.”
Chen Xiao chuckled softly, then suddenly leaned down and whispered something in her ear, "So, are you going to give me your precious first time?" Chen Xiao's implication was quite obvious.
Rennai's ears turned bright red instantly. She tugged at Chen Xiao's sleeve and said, "Then... come to my house? Mom misses you too."
Yuna stood to the side, feeling a wave of dizziness.
She watched as her sister pulled Chen Xiao away quickly, but her legs felt like they were dragging lead weights, making it difficult to move an inch.
She only woke up from her dream and chased after them when their figures were almost out of sight.
The Tsubakihara family mansion appeared exceptionally tranquil in the night.
As Chen Xiao stepped into the entrance hall, a slender figure was rushing upstairs in a panic—Mrs. Mira was only wearing thin home clothes, her long brown-gold hair draped messily over her shoulders.
