Awakening - Chapter 116

Chapter 116 Scene-Part 1

Watching Rumi on the playground doing the baseball’s pitching practice, Lei Yin asked: “Does that kid everyday practice until late hours?”

“Yes, because of the forthcoming local area trial, only the winning team can enter the Koshien to participate in the competition. So, recently in this period of time every day have to practice.” Kazumi replied.

“Then what about her schoolwork?”

“Schoolwork is fine, she’s always been a good student, everyday carefully listen to the lecture and take notes. Should not be a problem. What I’m most worried about is her body, I’m afraid she will one day fall from burnout. I’ve tried to talk to her not to go, but she didn’t listen. You know that Rumi is sometimes very stubborn.” Kazumi said with a sigh.

Lei Yin didn’t say anything but silently watched the engrossed in practice Rumi.

After a long pause, he suddenly said: “It looks like they finished practice.”

Kazumi looked up and really saw the team began to disperse. But the bearded coach was still talking to Rumi, momentarily can’t return.

“Hey, Senpai also came.” After a while, the bearded man finally let go of people. Rumi went to the edge of the playground and found Masashi was actually there, suddenly very happy.

Because usually Lei Yin frequently skips classes in the afternoon to accompany Naoko, he seldom able to accompany them together. Rare to see him herself, therefore, Rumi was pleasantly surprised.

“Look at you, sweating profusely, wipe it first.” Kazumi handed her a handkerchief.

“Thank you, Kazumi.” The kendo girl expressed her gratitude as he received the handkerchief.

“Let’s go home, today officer Maeda will come to our home for dinner, and mom should almost ready the meals. Taking benefit from association with that guy, we are in for a treat tonight.” Kazumi said with a smile.

Rumi also smiled listen to this.

Looking at her somewhat weary smile, Lei Yin couldn’t help but filled with a sense of guilt. He had cared too little for this girl.

Thinking of this, Lei Yin took the heavy book bag from her hand to hold it in his own hand.

“Senpai, I can do it myself.” Rumi quickly said.

Let’s go.” Lei Yin said with a smile.

To see the outpouring of pity look from his eyes, the kendo girl’s heartbeat suddenly quickened, feeling a rush of hot in her face.

Lei Yin was thinking of something so didn’t notice her abnormality.

The two people walked quietly. To see this good atmosphere, Kazumi tactfully didn’t make a noise.

After a while, Lei Yin suddenly said: “Rumi.”

“Yes, senpai.” The kendo girl answered with a bit of fluster.

“Originally I do not intend to interfere your school life, but promise me one thing, okay? Starting tomorrow, I want you to stop attending the baseball practice. As for the Baseball club, I’ll go tell them for you.”

Hearing his words, Rumi suddenly stopped.

Lei Yin stopped and turned to look at her.

“I’m sorry, senpai, this thing I can’t promise you.” After a brief silence, Rumi bit her lip and said.

“Tell me your reasons.” Lei Yin continued to look at her.

“After a period of time, there will be a local area trial. Although we all know that our chance to win is small, we don’t want to give up this opportunity. Now all the members of the baseball club are diligently practicing, how can I quit at this time?” Rumi said with tears streaming from her eyes.

“Very well, I withdraw my previous sentence.” Lei Yin a bit reluctantly said, already guessed correctly that she would not agree.

This sentence completely took the two girls by surprise, never thought he would be so easy to compromise.

When Rumi haven’t had the time to smile through her tears, he said another sentence: “In exchange, while you participate in the training before this trial, you can’t go to the Kendo club to practice.”

“But….” Rumi hastily said.

Before she finished, Lei Yin interrupted her words, “No buts, these two clubs; you can only choose one. If you continue like this, before the trial arrives, you will fall sick. I will talk with Omura-sensei about this, in any case, not going to Kendo club is only temporary. This will not affect you. Unless you think practicing with me at home has zero effect.”

“Of course not. But I feel that this is not a very good idea. Because before I go to the baseball club, I had a good talk with Omura-sensei; after I finish the practice in the Kendo Club then I go to the Baseball club.” Rumi awkwardly said.

“Don’t worry, I’ll help you deal with this thing. I don’t know how to say you are good, practicing itself is a good thing, but if because of excessive exercise you fell ill or injured, then it loses its original meaning. This matter is settled, these few days, I and Kazumi will pick you up after school.” Brimming with pampering, Lei Yin indulged her with pinching her face.

“Senpai….” Confused whether she should be happy or feel wronged, Rumi suddenly fell into his arms crying out loud.

Changchuan, don’t worry, I won’t let your granddaughter suffer any injury. Lei Yin secretly thought as he stroked her hair.

Watching the two of them hugging on the road, Kazumi’s lips curled into a warm smile.
