Which is More Difficult, Love or Sports?

Chapter 7

The two of them took the bus for five stops and walked towards Restaurant M after getting off.

"Why did you join the volleyball club in Tiantong Jiang Middle School?" Rin Ikuda asked after hesitating for a while on the way.

"Because of Zhaoyan," Tian Tong Xing paused for a moment as if she didn't expect Rin Ikuda to ask such a question.

"I don't like volleyball that much and I didn't want to join the volleyball club."

Since she had already started, she might as well continue. "How should I put it? Zhaoyan likes volleyball more than I do.

When I joined the volleyball club, I just wanted to pass the time and didn't think too much about it. "

Tian Tong Xing showed a gentle expression on her face. "Who knew that the volleyball club was so weak that they couldn't even afford to pay for the air conditioning.

Zhaoyan is very afraid of heat. When she thought about how she had to wait until the temperature reached 35 degrees Celsius to turn on the air conditioning, she decided to set up the volleyball club. "

Rin Ikuda: "… This opportunity is too capricious and too casual."

"Zhaoyan is a very capricious person. She's spoiled."

Tian Tong Xing's tone was a little doting. "But it can't be helped. I'm also one of the people who spoiled her."

"You also know that we can only apply for funds if we have good results. Plus, we more or less have the desire to win. That's it." Tian Tong Xing's tone became as calm as usual.

Rin Ikuda sighed. "I really envy Matsutake classmate for having such a good friend in Tiantong Jiang."

Tian Tong Xing reached out and patted Rin Ikuda's head.

Tian Tong Xing was 1.62 meters tall while Shitsutake was 1.58 meters tall. It was very convenient for her to pat his head.

She said calmly, "You don't have to be envious. You have it too."

Rin Ikuda: "…" He was actually touched like this. That's really bad — —

"When Zhaoyan comes back, I'll introduce you to each other." Tian Tong Xing retracted her hand.

Rin Ikuda replied with a "Hmm".

Since school had just ended, most of the customers in the restaurant were students, and most of the seats were full.

Tian Tong Xing asked Rin Ikuda to reserve a seat while she went to line up.

Tian Tong Xing chatted with Rin Ikuda while waiting in line.

[Tian Tong Xing: Let's try the new couple set meal.]

[Rin Ikuda: I personally think a normal meal for two is fine.]

[Tian Tong Xing: But the couple set meal is very affordable. The chocolate milkshake inside is super delicious ~]

[Rin Ikuda: …]

[Rin Ikuda: … I can't imagine you saying "super delicious" in such a calm tone.]

[Tian Tong Xing: _ (: з 」 ∠) _]

[Tian Tong Xing: What else do you want to eat, Ikuta?]

[Rin Ikuda: No, I'm on a diet plan.]

[Tian Tong Xing: Ikuta, do you know how much calories a hamburger has?]

[Rin Ikuda: Hmph!

Can't you eat before you lose weight?!]

[Tian Tong Xing: _ (: з 」 ∠) _]

Rin Ikuda: "…" Hmph!

Tendo Wake quickly came to the double seat that Rin Ikuta found with a couple's package.

"I'm going to dig in."

"I'm going to dig in."

Just as Tian Tong Xing said, the couple set meal was very affordable — two Big Macs, two chocolate milkshakes, two grilled wings, and a large order of fries.

Rin Ikuda had just opened the hamburger when he suddenly realized, "How does Tiantong Jiang know if the chocolate milkshake in this set meal is delicious?!" Rin Ikuda's eyes sparkled under his half-rimmed glasses.

The chocolate milkshakes in the couple set meal weren't sold separately.

Tian Tong Xing drank a few mouthfuls of the chocolate milkshake and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Who said that one person can't eat the couple set meal?"

Rin Ikuda: "… As long as you're happy."

Tian Tong Xing nodded and began to unwrap the hamburger.

The two of them slowly began to enjoy the food in front of them.

Rin Ikuda was eating his hamburger when he saw two boys, who were also wearing Qingye City's white school uniform, sit down next to them with trays of food.

Rin Ikuda blinked in surprise. He didn't expect to run into his middle school classmate Toru Oikawa and Gamma Iwakizumi here.

Toru Oikawa's brown hair was slightly damp, and his beautiful and elegant face had an infectious smile. His dark brown eyes were full of vitality, and they were slightly curved at this moment. After sitting down, he waved at Rin Ikuda, "Isn't this Mitsuta-san?

Long time no see, so you're in Shiratorozawa. "

Compared to Toru Oikawa, Gamma Iwakizumi was the kind of boy who looked tough and masculine, and he looked quite serious and fierce. After sitting down, he also nodded at Rin Ikuda, "Hello Mitsuta-san."

Rin Ikuda swallowed the hamburger in his mouth and nodded in response, "Hello."

On the other side, Tian Tong Xing finished eating the hamburger and folded the hamburger wrapper into a small square plate.

She tore open the small bag of tomato sauce and squeezed the sauce onto the small plate in an orderly manner.

Toru Oikawa looked at Xiang Tien Tong, and the smile on his face widened, "Tian Tong -san, hello. Long time no see." Gamma Iwakizumi also greeted Tian Tong Xing with a serious face.

Tian Tong Xing was stunned, "Hello." She frowned in confusion.

Did she know these two people?!

"Eh, you're eating a couple's meal?!" Toru Oikawa's face showed a little surprise, and he said as he hung his bag on the back of the chair.

Rin Ikuda swallowed the last bite of the hamburger and replied, "Because it's very affordable."

Toru Oikawa made a sound of "Oh", and his right hand pinched his chin, looking thoughtful.

Soon, he cheerfully shouted, "Rock Paste ~"

Gamma Iwakizumi also hung his bag on the back of the chair and expressionlessly interrupted him, "Shut up, Bastard Chuan!"

Toru Oikawa suddenly looked wronged, "Rock Paste, I haven't said anything yet!"

Gamma Iwakizumi's face was full of "You think I don't know what you want to say?" and "I will never eat a couple's meal with you."

Toru Oikawa muttered with some dissatisfaction, "Rock Paste, can't you be a little more patient with me?!"

Gamma Iwakizumi was too lazy to pay attention to him, and lowered his head to eat his hamburger.

Toru Oikawa's eyes were a little resentful. He wanted to say something, but because there were two girls sitting next to him, he could only swallow his words and eat the food in front of him.

Rin Ikuda, who was eating a grilled chicken wing, was speechless. Mr. Wakawa and Yanizi-kun were such good friends, and their interactions were so loving.

She turned her attention back to Tian Tong Xing, and found that Tian Tong Xing was biting on a straw and drinking a chocolate milkshake. Her black cat eyes were a little out of focus, and she was slightly narrowed.

Rin Ikuda knew that Tian Tong Xing's expression meant that Tian Tong Xing was very satisfied at the moment.

Rin Ikuda couldn't help but smile. Tiantong Jiang was really easy to satisfy sometimes.

Toru Oikawa finished eating his hamburger, crumpled the wrapper into a ball, and smiled with curved eyes. "Actually, I've been wanting to ask you for a long time. Tian Tong classmate, do you not remember me and Rock Paste?"

Ikuda Rin almost choked. Wasn't the amount of information in this sentence too much?!

Tian Tong Xing blinked, and her eyes slowly regained focus. Her gaze paused for a second on Toru Oikawa and Gamma Iwakizumi's faces.

It was a very calm gaze, but it made Toru Oikawa's pupils contract slightly, and Gamma Iwakizumi's back also tensed up.

"Excuse me, you are …"

"I'm Toru Oikawa, and he's Iwakizumi."

Toru Oikawa smiled and introduced himself. "We played a practice match. Tian Tong classmate, do you still remember?"

Toru Oikawa?

Tian Tong Xing blinked again. Wasn't he the setter who went to Qingye City West that Wakari thought highly of?

But when had she ever played a practice match with this Wichikawa-kun?

Tian Tong Xing put down the empty chocolate milk cup. "Sorry, I don't remember."

Toru Oikawa revealed a hurt expression. If an ordinary girl saw this, her heart would have softened immediately. However, Tian Tong Xing and Rin Ikuda were still very calm, and they continued to drink and eat.

Toru Oikawa touched his nose. "It was when we were in the third year of junior high school. Tian Tong classmate, do you really not remember at all?"

Gamma Iwakizumi added, "When we were in junior high school, we went to Beichuan First High School."

Rin Ikuda bit on her straw and waited for Tian Tong Xing's answer with interest.

Who would have thought that Tiantong Jiang and her team had a practice match with Mr. Wakawa?!

Tian Tong Xing recalled for a few seconds. "Beichuan First High School … Did you lose the practice match?"

Toru Oikawa nodded reluctantly, but he still emphasized, "Every match was very close. We were also very strong."

"Then it's normal that I don't remember. After all, you lost." Tian Tong Xing's tone was flat, but her words were infuriating.

Rin Ikuda didn't dare to look at Toru Oikawa and Gamma Iwakizumi's expressions.

She felt that if Tiantong Jiang wasn't a girl, she would probably have been beaten up several times.

Toru Oikawa gritted his teeth. "If we were to compete again, we would definitely win!"

Tian Tong Xing: "Okay, good luck."

Toru Oikawa and Gamma Iwakizumi: "…"

Tian Tong Xing seemed to have thought of something and asked Toru Oikawa, "Mr. Wakawa, back then, was there a first-year student in Beichuan First High School whose name was … Ying Shan?"

Gamma Iwakizumi: "…" Tian Tong, did you know that you had successfully stepped on a landmine?!

As expected, Toru Oikawa's expression turned gloomy for a moment, but he quickly put on a smile again. It was so quick that it seemed like the gloominess just now was an illusion.

He smiled and said, "Tian Tong, are you talking about Little Fei Xiong?

Tian Tong, do you know him? "

Tian Tong Xing shook her head. "I don't know him, but I have a slight impression of him."

Toru Oikawa's smile didn't change, and he complained half-truthfully, "Tian Tong, you don't remember Rock Paste and me, but you remember Little Fei Xiong. As expected, geniuses care more about geniuses, huh?" He was still smiling, but his voice wasn't as carefree as before. Instead, it was much deeper.

Rin Ikuda: "…" She felt that the current Mr. Wakawa was different from before. Was it an illusion?

Gamma Iwakizumi hurriedly apologized to Xiang Tien Tong. "I'm sorry, Tian Tong. This guy likes to talk nonsense sometimes. Please don't mind him."

Toru Oikawa pitifully shouted "Rock Paste", and was fiercely glared at by Gamma Iwakizumi. If he wasn't sitting in front of Toru Oikawa, he probably would have slapped the back of Toru Oikawa's head.

Tian Tong Xing was stunned for a moment. "I don't know about geniuses, but that Yingshan-kun does look a little silly."

Toru Oikawa: "…"

Gamma Iwakizumi: "…"

Rin Ikuda: "… Pfft."

Tian Tong Xing looked at the three people with strange expressions, and blinked as if she didn't understand why they had such expressions.

Finally, Rin Ikuda calmly pushed up his glasses. "Tiantong Jiang, I'm full."

"Then let's go."

Tian Tong Xing nodded, and said to Toru Oikawa and Gamma Iwakizumi, "Then, we'll take our leave first, goodbye."

"Mr Wakawa, Yanizumi-kun, goodbye."

Rin Ikuda said politely, and stood up together with Tian Tong Xing, and bowed slightly to Toru Oikawa and Gamma Iwakizumi.

Before Tian Tong Xing could pick up her plate, Rin Ikuda took it first.

"Goodbye." Toru Oikawa and Gamma Iwakizumi also said.

"Oh right."

After taking two steps, Tian Tong Xing suddenly stopped, and turned to look at Toru Oikawa. "I'm not a genius."

"Mr Wakawa's expression just now … it's really hard to explain." On the way to the train station, Rin Ikuda clicked his tongue.

"Probably." Tian Tong Xing shrugged. "But, I'm really not a genius."

Rin Ikuda said, "Oh, I heard that not every genius knows that they're a genius."

Tian Tong Xing's expression was calm, and her footsteps were light. "I'm very sure that I'm not, because I know a real genius."

Of course, that guy didn't think that he was a genius.

As the night deepened, Rin Ikuda came out of the bathroom, wiping his wet hair. He saw Tian Tong Xing sitting on the mattress, hugging a pillow, and playing with her phone. From the sound of the game, it seemed that she was playing a fighting mobile game.

She looked quite relaxed, with her waist-length red hair hanging loosely over her shoulders. She was wearing a loose, short-sleeved home shirt and shorts, revealing her fair and delicate arms and legs.

Rin Ikuda was extremely envious of her long, straight legs, which were almost as white as the mattress.

Shiratorozawa's dormitory had two types of double rooms and quadruple rooms.

The square rooms had excellent lighting, and according to the number of people in the room, there were two or four sets of wooden desks, bookshelves, wardrobes, and storage cabinets.

Every room had a small balcony, and a separate bathroom and bathroom.

On every floor, there was a laundry room with a few washing machines for the students to wash their clothes.

"Aren't you going to email Ushima Kun today?" Rin Ikuda sat on the mattress next to Tian Tong Xing and continued drying his hair.

Tian Tong Xing didn't even raise her head. "We already did."

Rin Ikuda hung a towel on the drying rack and said, "Tiantong Jiang, the way you interact with Ushima Kun is really strange."

Tian Tong Xing didn't care and said, "Really?

I don't think so. "

"Looking at your expression, has anyone else said something similar?" Rin Ikuda asked with interest.

Tian Tong Xing put down her phone and stretched. She was still very calm. "Zhaoyan, Zhaoyan's evaluation is' strange '."

"I agree with Matsutake classmate." Rin Ikuda put on his glasses on the desk. "I want to get to know Matsutake classmate even more."

Tian Tong Xing rubbed her nose and helped Rin Ikuda find his glasses.

"I really don't think there's a problem.

If Wakari thinks there's a problem, he'll definitely say it.

Since he didn't say it, that means he also thinks there's no problem. "Tian Tong Xing concluded.

Rin Ikuda put his glasses back on and looked at his gentle friend in front of him. He couldn't help but click his tongue.

Every time something related to Ushima Kun was mentioned, Tiantong Jiang's expression would become very gentle, although it could only be seen through careful observation.

He even said he was friends with Ushima Kun … Rin Ikuda adjusted his glasses.

Tiantong Jiang probably didn't know his true feelings for Ushima Kun.

Oh, I don't know what Ushima Kun is thinking.
