Which is More Difficult, Love or Sports?

Chapter 24

In the evening, men and women, old and young, dressed in bathrobes, mingled with the crowd in casual clothes and strolled around the shrine where the Summer Festival was held.

Stalls of various colors lined up along the street as if they wanted to fill up the long Ginseng Avenue.

Although the sun had not completely set, the shops were all lit up, and the dazzling lights illuminated the entire Ginseng Avenue.

The surrounding trees seemed to be guarding the Ginseng Avenue as they stretched out their branches and formed an arch.

Just looking at this scene was enough to make people excited.

Tian Tong Xing was wearing a light blue bathrobe embroidered with white flowers. She stood a little further away from the entrance of the Ginseng Avenue and waited for Wakari Ushima. She completely ignored the curious and amazed gazes of the people coming and going. In the first five minutes, she had already lost count of how many people she had rejected.

In the seventh minute, Wakari Ushima arrived.

The young man was wearing a dark blue bathrobe. His short hair was neat, and he had a calm and dignified aura.

Today was the first day of the two-day break after the final exams. It just so happened that there was a grand and lively Summer Festival.

Thus, Wakashima Wakashima invited Tendo Xing to participate in the Summer Festival.

This was also the second official date between the two.

"Ah Hing, sorry to keep you waiting." Wakari Ushima naturally held Tian Tong Xing's hand.

The girl's soft and cool hand still made Wakari Ushima's heart palpitate even though it was not the first time they held hands.

"Wakari," Tian Tong Xing held Wakari Ushima's hand and comforted him. "You're not late."

"Well, sorry."

Wakari Ushima rubbed Tian Tong Xing's cheek with his right hand. "I wanted to wear a baseball uniform, but it was too hot."

Tian Tong Xing gently pressed Wakari Ushima's right hand that he wanted to withdraw. Her eyes were like water. "You don't need to apologize. You can wear a baseball uniform in the fall."

"Okay, let's go." Wakari Ushima pulled Tian Tong Xing into the shrine and slowly blended into the bustling crowd.

The two of them first went to pay their respects.

After paying the incense and oil money, the two people who were praying with their palms clasped together had serious and pious expressions on their faces.

"What did Ah Hing wish for?" Wakari Ushima asked.

Tian Tong Xing tilted her head and said seriously, "I hope everyone is safe and healthy."

Wakari Ushima's dark brown eyes were tinged with a gentle smile.

"What about Wakari?" Tian Tong Xing asked. "Did he win the National Competition?"

"No." Wakari Ushima's expression was indifferent. "Victory in the competition is not something that can be obtained by praying to the gods."

Tian Tong Xing blinked. Wakari Ushima continued, "I'm just praying. I didn't make a wish."

Tian Tong Xing held Wakari Ushima's hand tightly, her eyes shining.

Wakari's confident look was so handsome.

Wakari Ushima held Tian Tong Xing's hand tightly and was amused by Tian Tong Xing's expression.

After paying their respects, the temple fair officially began.

At this time, the sun had already set and the sky was gradually darkening. The night sky was slowly filled with dots of stars, gradually forming a dazzling river of stars.

Although they were going to visit the temple fair, Tian Tong Xing's attention was completely focused on the delicacies of the Summer Festival.

Grilled sausages, octopus barbecue, teppanyaki tofu, fried radishes, soy dumplings … Tian Tong Xing bought a portion of everything that interested her and generously shared it with Wakari Ushima.

Tian Tong Xing held the paper cups or small bowls of food high. Seeing Wakari Ushima seriously eating the food she bought, the girl's cat eyes curved slightly, her eyes bright.

"Wakari, let's go eat grilled eggplant, okay?" Tian Tong Xing's cat eyes flashed with a hint of slyness.

Wakari Ushima was silent for three seconds before saying, "… Okay."

Tian Tong Xing contentedly dragged Wakari Ushima to buy … lemon tea.

"Wakari should be thirsty too, right?" Tian Tong Xing thoughtfully handed a cup of lemon tea to Wakari Ushima.

"You're not buying grilled eggplant?" Wakari Ushima took the lemon tea and asked.

"Yes, I'm not buying." Tian Tong Xing took a sip of the lemon tea. "If you eat too much, you won't be able to sleep at night."

Wakari Ushima pulled Tian Tong Xing to his side and drank the lemon tea in a few mouthfuls.

Seeing this, Tian Tong Xing handed over the half cup of lemon tea in her hand.

Wakari Ushima bent over and drank the rest of the lemon tea in Tian Tong Xing's hand.

Tian Tong Xing's face blushed slightly.

The atmosphere between the two was too warm and sweet. God knows how much PDA was forced out.

Tian Tong Xing took out a wet tissue from her small handbag and gave one to Wakari Ushima. She also took one for herself to wipe the corners of her mouth and hands.

"Wakari, let's go fish?" Tian Tong Xing excitedly suggested as she threw the trash in her hands into the trash can.

Looking at the girl's bright eyes full of eagerness, Wakari Ushima coughed lightly to cover the smile on his lips.

As long as they talked about catching goldfish, Ah Hing was especially happy, like a child … So cute.

The two of them held hands and walked towards the goldfish stall.

Two boys were squatting next to the stall's pond. They were using paper bowls to catch goldfish while bickering.

"Bastard Chigawa, be gentler, the paper bowl is about to break!" The black-haired boy wearing a T-shirt and jeans said impatiently and nervously.

"Rock Paste!

Don't leave out the swear words!

These goldfish are so cunning, there's nothing we can do if we can't catch them! "

The boy wearing a light blue shirt and light colored casual pants, his short brown hair was neatly combed, and the ends of his hair were slightly curled. He was unconvinced as he retorted while waving the paper bowl in his hand.

"Bastard Chigawa!

Idiot Chigawa!

You can even say 'goldfish are so cunning'. Did the goldfish eat your IQ?! "The black-haired boy unceremoniously hit the other person's elbow.

"Ouch!

Rock Paste, I'm really happy that you can say something like that with your IQ. "The boy said with the loving tone of an old father as he continued to fish for goldfish.

"Trash Chigawa, do you want me to beat you to a pulp at the shrine?!" The black-haired boy's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Too much!

Ahhhhh!!

The paper bowl is broken!!! "The boy with the curled hair threw away the net and paper bowl as he held his head and wailed.

"Haha, congratulations." The black-haired boy's tone was full of schadenfreude.

He seemed to be tired from squatting, so he stood up and massaged his legs.

"Rock Paste!!" The other boy's tone was mournful as he also stood up.

Tian Tong Xing slowly blinked, feeling that the two boys were familiar. She was thinking where she had seen them before when she heard Wakari Ushima say: "Chigawa, Yanquan."

The two boys' backs seemed to be stiff as they slowly and stiffly turned around.

After seeing that it was indeed Wakari Ushima who was standing behind them, the two boys' faces were charred black as if they had been struck by lightning.

"Niu, Niu Ruo!"

Seeing their faces, Tian Tong Xing remembered who they were.

Weren't they Toru Oikawa and Gamma Iwakizumi that she had met when she was eating the couple's set meal with Ikuta?

Toru Oikawa was the first to come back to his senses. Just as he was about to say something, he glanced at them from the corner of his eye, and his expression, which had eased a little, immediately became even more charred.

Gamma Iwakizumi's reaction was similar to Toru Oikawa's.

If there were special effects, there would probably be a raging fire behind them.

Niu Ruo actually had a girlfriend!!!

Why did Niu Ruo have a girlfriend?!!

Niu Ruo's girlfriend was Tian Tong!!!

Why?!!!

"Mr. Wakawa, Yanizumi-kun." Tian Tong Xing nodded at the two of them. "Hello."

"Hi, hello." Toru Oikawa and Gamma Iwakizumi both responded mechanically, obviously still in a daze.

Wakari Ushima: "?

Do you know each other? "

Tian Tong Xing: "We met at the beginning of school. I heard that we had a practice match with them in middle school."

Wakari Ushima raised his eyebrows. "Heard?"

Tian Tong Xing: "Mr. Wakawa said so, but I don't have any recollection of it."

Wakari Ushima pressed his forehead.

Toru Oikawa and Gamma Iwakizumi finally reacted.

Toru Oikawa's voice was trembling. "Niu, Niu Ruo!

You, you, you, you … "

Wakari Ushima was a little confused. "?

What's wrong? "

Toru Oikawa took a deep breath. Gamma Iwakizumi was calmer than him, and asked with difficulty, "Niu Ruo, are you and Tian Tong … dating?"

Wakari Ushima: "Yes."

Toru Oikawa's face stiffened, and he tried to squeeze out a smile. "Then, then we won't disturb you. Goodbye."

"Oh, goodbye."

Watching Toru Oikawa and Gamma Iwakizumi leave quickly, Tian Tong Xing blinked, a little confused.

These two were really strange …

"Ah Hing." Wakari Ushima squeezed Tian Tong Xing's fingers, pulling Tian Tong Xing back from her thoughts.

"Wakari, let's go catch goldfish." Tian Tong Xing looked at the goldfish stall, and instantly forgot about Toru Oikawa and Gamma Iwakizumi.

Her eyes were shining, and she looked like a cat that was ready to hunt.

Wakari Ushima stood beside Tian Tong Xing, watching Tian Tong Xing squatting by the pond, and using a small paper bowl to catch goldfish one by one.

Soon, there were five small goldfish of different colors in the small net.

This was also Tian Tong Xing's little hobby. Every time she caught goldfish, she would catch different colors.

For Tian Tong Xing, this was the true joy of catching goldfish.

Tian Tong Xing gently pinched the small paper bowl to catch the small black and red goldfish in the pond, but the small paper bowl had clearly reached its limit. Just as she caught the small goldfish, the paper bowl broke.

The small goldfish lazily swam back to the pond.

Tian Tong Xing: Σ (っ ° Д)

°;) っ critical hit!!!

Tian Tong Xing pouted and poured the five small goldfish back into the pond.

If she couldn't catch six goldfish, then there was no point in keeping the first five small goldfish.

The girl squatting by the pond exuded a low pressure.

Wakari Ushima coughed softly, suppressing the smile on his lips.

He bent slightly, reached out his hand to Tian Tong Xing, and called out dotingly, "Ah Hing."

Tian Tong Xing raised her head. Her dark cat eyes were full of complaints and grievances.

Meeting Wakari Ushima's gentle and smiling gaze, Tian Tong Xing puffed up her cheeks in grievance.

Wakari Ushima reached out his hand to Tian Tong Xing again.

Tian Tong Xing puffed up her cheeks and gently put her hand on Wakari Ushima's warm palm.

Wakari Ushima held Tian Tong Xing's hand back and gently pulled Tian Tong Xing up from the ground.

Tian Tong Xing lowered her head and let Wakari Ushima pull her away from the noisy crowd. They walked down a long flight of stairs and finally stopped at a high platform with a wide view.

Looking down from here, they could see the surging crowd in the shrine and the brilliant lights in the distance.

The night breeze was slightly cool, dispelling the heat of the day and bringing the fragrance of the surrounding vegetation and wildflowers.

The bright lights of the world and the river of stars across the sky complemented each other, outlining a glorious picture.

Away from the noisy crowd, the pleasant sound of insects could be heard clearly.

The surrounding environment was so good. Although the girl in the light blue bathrobe still had her head down, the low pressure around her dissipated a little.

Wakari Ushima stood still and pulled Tian Tong Xing into his arms. He held her slender waist with one hand and patted Tian Tong Xing's back with the other hand. There was a smile in his voice. "Ah Hing, are you still unhappy?"

"A little bit."

Tian Tong Xing buried her head in Wakari Ushima's chest and took the opportunity to wrap her arms around his thin waist. Her voice was muffled.

"Then, will you be happy to see fireworks?"

Wakari Ushima cupped the girl's small face buried in his chest and lowered his head to plant a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Good girl, look to the left."

Tian Tong Xing obeyed Wakari Ushima's instructions and looked to the left.

The next moment, as far as the eye could see, there were brilliant streamers of light.

Even though she was mentally prepared, Tian Tong Xing was still stunned.

That kind of shock couldn't be described with words.

The flowing gold danced and the sparks exploded in the air. The complex and gorgeous colors seemed to be more dazzling than the bright river of stars, wantonly using the extreme beauty to steal people's eyes and breath.

Tian Tongxing looked at the fireworks in the sky in a daze. She could not hear the loud sound of the fireworks, nor could she hear the cheers of the people that came with the night wind. She could only hear her own heartbeat that seemed to be beating faster and faster.

The girl's overly pale face was now bright red because of the fireworks. Her dark cat eyes were filled with flowing light, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. Obviously, her mind had been attracted by the fireworks.

Wakari Ushima hugged Tian Tong Xing back into his arms, letting her hands hold his arms tightly. He focused on the girl in his arms with a gentle smile on his lips.
