Chapter 403 Yukinoshita Wants to Hold Everything in His Hands

"Gift?"

Hojo Kyosuke was taken aback for a moment, almost thinking that he had heard wrong.How could he receive the gift from Miss Yukinoshita?He would still believe that there was a machine gun hidden in that bulging backpack.

"Well, a present."

For some reason, Yukinoshita suddenly switched to using Youspeak this time. Although the Japanese gift was originally a foreign language, thanks to her excellent English, Hojo Kyosuke still accurately recognized that it was English.

"Because you gave me a gift before? This is a gift in return. You don't think I don't even understand this basic etiquette, do you?"

It was still in English, speaking fast and fluently, and Sakura and Nitiko next to her were confused. Although they were good at learning English, they were obviously not at the same level as Yukinoshita.

"I see, but why do you suddenly want to speak in English?" Hojo Kyosuke was puzzled, and he almost subconsciously spoke in German.

Yukinoshita's face became redder when he heard this, but he continued to speak in English with a straight neck:

"Check in advance whether you are qualified to tutor Kato-senpai's English."

"You really know how to manage time."

Hojo Kyosuke, who had already figured out why Yukinoshita was like this, teased with a smirk, but was immediately glared at by the shamed and angry girl.

"Why don't you join Rakugosha if you like to make witty words so much? If you have a famous person like you to join, they will definitely want it. Maybe you can ask Kasumigaoka Shiwa to help you write a new script, and fool yourself to fool others as much as you want. .”

It's really embarrassing for you to know the words of rakugo. Thinking of this, Kyosuke Hojo didn't dare to say it, because Yukinoshita was obviously about to become angry from embarrassment.

Hahaha, this guy is really cute.

Do you think Sakura and the others absolutely don't understand English, or do you want to pretend that they don't understand?In this case, won't it be revealed when the gift is taken out?

Or did you use English because you were too nervous to speak normally?After all, it's been like a broken radio before.

Thinking of this, looking at Yukinoshita's big watery eyes that seemed to be about to cry out of embarrassment, Hojo Kyosuke quickly stretched out his hand, ready to accept the gift of the goddess of justice.Oh, it's a gift, purezento.

Seeing the movement of the boy opposite, Yukinoshita realized that he still hadn't taken the gift out of the schoolbag.He quickly held the schoolbag in his left hand and stretched in his right hand.

This action is more like about to draw a gun. If you take a gift, take the gift. Don't look around, you don't look like a professional killer at all.

"The invoice is also inside. If there is any problem, you can go to the store directly. But I have fully checked it when I bought it. At least I can't cause damage with my strength."

When it came to professional issues, Yukinoshita was much calmer. Although she was still speaking in English, she seemed to have some more local accents, which made her look very playful.

"grateful!"

Hojo Kyosuke nodded with a smile. Although he was curious about what gift Yukinoshita would give and what kind of gift would require a strength test, he still held the blue wrapped gift box in his arms honestly.

"Nani Nani, is today Kyosuke your birthday?" Sakura asked with an exaggerated expression.

"Ah!? Isn't Kyosuke's birthday in February?" Nitzi turned pale with shock.

"Idiot Ni-chan, I was teasing Yukino-chan."

Yukinoshita restrained his urge to turn around and teach Yingliang a lesson, and still looked at the boy opposite:

"I've thought about it a lot, and I don't know if it suits you."

Stared unblinkingly by those big pale blue eyes, Hojo Kyosuke hesitated and asked:

"You want me to take it apart now?"

The girl's expectant expression suddenly became a little strange, and she asked in surprise:

"How do you know if you like it if you don't take it apart?"

Now the words in her mouth have become Japanese, it seems that after the bomb in the schoolbag was thrown out, her tension has eased.

This guy can always say things that are taken for granted but not noticed by everyone.

Hojo Kyosuke thought thoughtfully, Yukinoshita's definition of a friend before, and the definition of a gift now, are obviously a matter of course, but most people don't notice it at all.Or rather, avoid it on purpose.

Only this girl who has no friends and is so nervous to speak a foreign language when giving gifts can look at the world with such a simple eye.

"Although I'm very happy just receiving the gift, in order not to be considered perfunctory by you, I'd better take it apart and check it carefully."

When Hojo Kyosuke spoke, the girl's expression changed from surprise to happiness, and then to nervousness.

When he put the gift box on the table, Sakura and Nishita also surrounded him, only Yukinoshita walked over as if attracted by the setting sun outside the window, with his hands folded in front of his chest, motionless, turning into a stone sculpture.

Untie the bow, carefully unwrap the gift paper along the packaging, and a box with a baseball player printed on it appeared.

Baseball glove?

Hojo Kyosuke was slightly surprised, he thought Yukinoshita's gift would be a book?First of all, this should be her favorite thing. When thinking about what gift to give, she may subconsciously consider it from this aspect.Sakura is the most typical of this point. This guy will occasionally give a good gift, and most of the time he takes himself to have a big meal in the name of giving a gift.

Because when you are happy, you have to do happy things.

That's what Yingliang said, her gift is not so much a big meal, but her happiness and her joy are given to herself.

According to Yukinoshita who speaks English nervously even when giving gifts, it should be very difficult for her to choose a gift, right?If you have no idea, you will definitely think of giving your favorite book, right?

Second, Yukinoshita said that she had conducted a strength test. Things like books are often used to slam the enemy's head, so it is natural to conduct a test.Although Yukinoshita's cleverness should not have been knocked over by the teacher with books, if anyone dared to do that, they would have been sent to prison long ago.

"It's a baseball glove." Sakura exclaimed.

"And it's a pitcher's glove," Nitro added.

"Huh? Aren't they all the same?"

Sakura was taken aback.

"No, pitchers, catchers, first basemen, etc. all have different gloves. Look, it's written here." Glass pointed at the box and explained.

"Oh! Really! I never paid attention to it before! But it's a good thing you can remember, I think you are not interested in baseball." Sakura asked.

"Hey~ Because Kyosuke-kun joined the baseball club, so I wanted to understand the rules so that I can cheer for him better." Nitro said a little embarrassed.

"That's it." Sakura nodded, but immediately said nonchalantly:

"It's too difficult to remember the rules. Even if I don't know the rules, I can know his performance as long as I hear the audience cheering Kyosuke's name loudly."

Hearing this, the anxious Yukinoshita couldn't help but turn around. He really trusted blindly.Thinking of this, she asked out of nowhere:

"What if Hojo's performance is not good, and the people around him are scolding him?"

"Impossible!" Sakura categorically said.

"What if he's injured? Or because of some other external factors?"

"Why was Kyousuke injured? How could I let him go to the game after being injured?" Sakura asked in surprise.

"Hojo was invited by the baseball club as a savior, right? Based on my understanding of the former Sobu High Baseball Club, if there is no miracle, they can't even win the first round of the qualifiers. The Hojo that the team hopes will play no matter what? He is indeed such a person, isn’t he?”

Yukinoshita said that this is also the reason why she would choose pitcher gloves as gifts.

"What does that matter to me? If Kyosuke is injured, he should rest well, right?"

"Yeah!" Nitzi nodded vigorously, how could it be possible for Kyosuke-kun to play with injuries.

"Hey..., if, for example, because you didn't sleep well the night before, you don't have enough energy the next day..."

"Oh, this is very possible!" Ying Liang, who was still like a barbarian just now, immediately agreed.

"... Well, that's because of this. In short, Hojo didn't perform well, and was scolded by the audience?" Yukinoshita became even more speechless, almost forgetting why he asked this question.

"I'll throw popcorn on his head." Sakura took it for granted.

"I think so too." Yukinoshita sighed.

"That kind of thing won't happen." Hojo Kyosuke interrupted the conversation of several people.

"That's right, there is an exclusive auditorium during the game." Yukinoshita nodded.

"All I'm saying is that apart from my opponents, the audience will cheer for me."

"It's the same as I thought, that's why I gave you pitcher gloves." Yukinoshita showed an expression of "I knew you would say that, I really can't help you".

"Huh? I was just about to ask? I have only participated in a few baseball club trainings, and I haven't decided where I am suitable. Why did you just give me a pitcher's glove?" Hojo Kyosuke asked.

"In Neon, in Koshien, is there anything more dazzling than a pitcher?" Yukinoshita asked.

"I'm not the kind of person who likes to show off."

"Although it makes people inexplicably angry when these words come out of your mouth, I have to admit that you are already very low-key."

Yukinoshita nodded.

"Want to hold everything tightly in your hands, don't want to let go of everything, try to do everything with your own strength."

The girl stared into Hojo Kyosuke's eyes, and said word by word.

"As long as you are strong enough, you can keep pitching and pitching, strike out the opponent and block the opponent all the time, and bring the game into the hell of overtime. I think this role is the most suitable for you."

The voice under the snow was like the slightly chilly wind in early spring, faintly drifting into everyone's ears.

From hearing "I want to hold everything tightly in my hands, no matter what I don't want to let go", the smile on Nitiko's face gradually faded away, and Yingliang was once again brimming with more brilliance after being slightly stunned. smile.

And Hojo Kyosuke...

"What nonsense are you talking about? I just don't want to leave the winning or losing in other people's hands."

He looked at Yukinoshita, and stared at the girl who saw through his heart. Although there was a faint smile on his face, his eyes were surprisingly cold, and his voice was as firm as a clash of iron and stone:

"For something like fate, no matter it's good or bad, you have to choose it yourself."

The air suddenly froze, only the sound of mahjong playing in the rugby club downstairs was still very lively. I really envy these guys who can spend their time on their favorite things in the most beautiful years.

When the paper box was opened, Hojo Kyosuke suddenly smiled:

"If you were to join the baseball club, Yukinoshita, what position would you choose?"

"Definitely the pitcher!"

The person who answered was not Yukinoshita but Sakura Yamauchi. She put her hands on the table and leaned her upper body over, almost touching Yukinoshita's face:

"Scared me, what Xiaoxue said just now, I thought you were introducing yourself."

"Don't be silly, I'm...introducing myself."

Yukinoshita's voice became lower and lower.

"Idiot, how could you join the baseball club with Yukinoshita's physical strength? Aren't you very good at refuting just now?"

Kyosuke Kitajo, who had already put on his baseball glove, held Sakura's entire face in his hands.

Ah, sure enough, you can catch them all.

"Thank you, I like it very much." He solemnly thanked Yukinoshita.

"Great."

Yukinoshita woke up from her contemplation with an undisguised joy on her face.

"Student Yukinoshita laughs so happily." Nitro praised softly.

"Yeah, she's as innocent as a child, not like her at all, but she's still cute!" Sakura nodded repeatedly.

"I'm already cute! No matter what I do, I'm cute!"

Yukinoshita quickly restrained his smile and retorted dissatisfiedly.

Hahahahaha

The three of them immediately laughed in unison, and Yukinoshita puffed out her cheeks and snorted twice before also laughing.

After a quiet pause, the astonishingly weak Yukinoshita had already sat on the chair, her face flushed abnormally, and the golden light of the setting sun actually turned into a beautiful pink.

Her expression was unusually gentle, she put her right hand lightly on her chest, and said in a low voice:

"It turns out that not only the person who receives the gift will be happy, but also the gift-giving."

It turns out that seeing the person receiving the gift is so happy, I will also...

"Of course I will be happy if my heart is answered." Sakura said.

"I will also prepare a gift for you on your birthday this year." Hojo Kyosuke Zhang folded his gloves to imitate a hand puppet.

"birthday present?"

Yukinoshita said in surprise.

"Huh? We are friends, aren't we? Isn't it normal to give birthday presents?" Hojo Kyosuke was more surprised than she was.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo on a birthday gift?"

Sakura shouted and was about to pounce. Yukinoshita immediately panicked and made a defensive posture, but she had no intention of hiding. Just like countless times before, she would not refuse Sakura's intimate interaction at all.Although it was obvious that he didn't like it, he was still clumsily adapting to it.

"How could I not have received it! I have received "Hello, Mr. Panda"!" Yukinoshita said loudly.

...Wait a minute, being able to say exactly what birthday gift I received in a split second, instead of hesitating which gift to name, this fact in itself shows how pitiful everything is.

Hojo Kyosuke was a little taken aback.

"What's that? Hello, Mr. Panda? Is it a book introducing pandas?" Sakura asked, who had successfully hugged Yukinoshita.

"It's a story written by American biologist Rand McIntosh for his son who couldn't adapt to the new environment after his family moved to China in order to study pandas. I can lend it to you if you want to read it, but It’s the English version, and it was given to me by my father when I was a kid!”

There are so many treasures under the snow, it seems that I can't wait to take everyone present and run home to hold a book club.

"Si Guoyi, Xue Nai, have you been good at English since childhood?" Nitro asked in surprise.

"How is it possible? Of course I don't. But at the time, because I really wanted to understand it, I looked it up in the dictionary. It felt like I was playing a jigsaw puzzle. I was very happy."

Yukinoshita recalled the past many years ago, his eyes were quite soft.

"That's why you like pandas so much?" Hojo Kyosuke made a new discovery.

"...The formation of preferences is very complicated, although it is my birthday present, so I have more feelings for it..."

Yukinoshita muttered in a low voice, but she was arrogant and refused to admit it frankly.

"Since you like it so much, why don't you just give a copy to Kyosuke this time?" Sakura asked doubtfully.

"Hey? Can it still be like this?"

Yukinoshita's eyes widened, I don't understand! (end of this chapter)
