Chapter 108: Jackpot (1/2)

”Masako, this is my cousin Gennai Masashi, just like you, he’s also a high school student, but has too many bad grades compared to you. Masashi, this is Yamaguchi Tomoko’s sister Masako. Didn’t I say Masako is very attractive? Fool, quickly greet her.” Kurata Ryoko said making an effort to pat his shoulder.

Like this Kurata Ryoko took care of introducing them, even showing a bit of deep attachment with each other. The youth then snappily took one look at her.

“Oh, it’s you?” Against all expectation, after seeing the youth’s appearance, Yamaguchi Masako who was sitting on the bed suddenly called out in an excited voice.

“Masako, do you know my cousin?” Seeing her surprised look, Kurata Ryoko asked surprised.

The other two girls also looked at her in confusion. On the other hand, the youth was bewildered, he couldn’t remember where he saw this girl before.

Suddenly, Yamaguchi Masako covered her mouth, as tears drop from her eyes.

“What did you do to Masako?” Seeing her suddenly shed tears, Kurata Ryoko held Masashi and asked loudly.

“I haven’t seen her before.” The youth was confused.

“Then why is Masako like this, it must be that you have done something wrong to her, quickly confess.” Kurata Ryoko didn’t believe him, and started squeezed his neck with both of her hands.

“Masako, what really happened?” After looking at Masashi’s eyes, Yamaguchi Tomoko was very concerned and took her hand to ask.

Seeing Masashi ‘tortured’ by Kurata Ryoko, Yamaguchi Masako hurriedly wiped her tears, smiled and said: “Sister, you’re mistaken, he really doesn’t know me.”

“Then why are you crying?” Kurata Ryoko was surprised for a moment, releasing her hands from Masashi’s neck.

“Nothing.” The girl stuck out her tongue and said with a smile.

“Masako, if this guy’s bullying, you say, I’ll give this guy a good lesson.” Kurata Ryoko said wanting to squeeze Masashi’s neck again, but the youth had dodged it instead.

Yamaguchi Masako didn’t answer her, and instead moved her mouth closer to her elder sister, saying something in a low voice.

After listening to her younger sister, Yamaguchi Tomoko looked at her a bit puzzled. Then, seeing her pleading eyes, she finally submitted, nodding to her.

Seeing her sister nod in agreement, Yamaguchi Masako immediately smiled very happily.

When the others were puzzled, Yamaguchi Tomoko turned towards Tachibana Minoru and Kurata Ryoko, said: “Masako suddenly want to see young girl comics, let’s go buy one for her. Ryoko, can you make your cousin stay and accompany Masako?”

“I can, but why him?” Although Kurata Ryoko was a bit impulsive, she wasn’t an idiot, and immediately understood why Tomoko was sending them away.

“Don’t ask, let’s just get out of her. Otherwise, Masako would be unhappy.” Tachibana Minoru thought it was very interesting, although she was curious, but she still pulled Kurata Ryoko and walked outside.

“If there’s something just call my cell phone.” Yamaguchi Tomoko gently touched her younger sister’s face, then look at the youth with one eye, leaving the room afterwards.

After they left, in the hospital ward, the only ones remaining was the two high school student. Because no one had made a noise, the hospital ward immediately became very peaceful and slightly awkward.

“Please, please sit down.” After a while, Yamaguchi Masako stuttered and said.

Looking at the embarrassed girl, Masashi smiled.

Masashi readily pulled a chair and sat down in front of her bed, “You’re called Masako right. Can you now tell me what happened?”

Because the youth was sitting so close, Yamaguchi Masako could clearly see his eyes, for a time, she felt her face becoming hot.

“Yes, I’m sorry, that was rude of me, I was just surprised of you.” After a while, she said a few words with great difficulty.

“To be precise, you were only surprised and nothing more.”

Hearing him speak, Yamaguchi Masako suddenly relaxed a lot.

“Do you want to eat apples?” Flustered, she took a fruit out from the fruit basket and gave it to him.

“I heard that this is probably a pear.” Masashi looked at the fruit in her hand and said.

“Sorry, I’ll immediately change it.”

“No, I don’t like to eat apples.” Masashi took the pear from her hands.

When the youth’s finger accidentally touched her hand, Yamaguchi Masako’s face couldn’t help but be a bit red.

“Well, can you tell me now?” The youth said as he cut the fruit’s skin.

Taking a deep breath, Yamaguchi Masako quietly said: “I….I know that you’re the man who hit the home run on the court.”

The teenager looked at her a little surprised.

“Sorry, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” After a while, the youth casually said something, then lowered his head as he continued to cut the pear.

“I’m sure it was you, because I’m also a student from PangMu high school, and by chance, I was also in the infirmary that day.” Yamaguchi Masako looked at him and said.

Listening to her talk, Masashi smiled bitterly in his heart. On that day he went to the infirmary to ask the school doctor for a mask, probably saw a girl was also there but hadn’t paid attention at her appearance at the time. He didn’t think that It would unexpectedly be her.

“Please don’t misunderstand, I don’t want to cause a ruckus. I just didn’t expect to see you here, I, I’m really happy.” The girl hurriedly explained.

“In fact, this isn’t a big deal, I’m just afraid of causing trouble so I don’t want to let people know about it. So, please keep it a secret for me.” The youth looked up at her again.

“I, I’ll help you keep it a secret.” Yamaguchi Masako said with a little excitement.

“Well, this is for your hush fee,” Masashi smiled, placing the pear that had been cut in her hands.

“Thank you.” Yamaguchi Masako a little helplessly received the pear. Until after biting it, she remembered that he had cut it for him to eat.

“I’m sorry, I’ll help you cut another one.”

“I’ll do it myself. Actually, you can’t even eat a hush fee, then let’s make a deal.” Masashi took out another pear from the fruit basket.

“I, can I call you by your name?” After a while, Yamaguchi Masako asked in a low voice.

“It’s up to you.”

Hearing his reply, Masako immediately smiled very brightly.

“Do you know? My small body isn’t good, so I must go to the hospital to see a doctor frequently, that’s why I particularly appreciate those who are athletic. In all the sports, my favorite is baseball, because a lot of people are passionate about baseball, sometimes as I watch players lose or win as they hug the ball and cry, I can’t help but cry with them.

In junior high school when I became the baseball manager, I later had to drop out because of my body. At that time I was very sad.

Seeing you hit two home runs that day, I was really excited.

At that time, only then did I know that you were that mysterious player. Aside from knowing that you were a student from Asakura High school as well as remembering your appearance, I knew nothing else about you, so I’ve been looking for you for a long time. I really didn’t expect to see you here, I’m really quite happy.” She said bursting into tears.

When Masashi saw her excited appearance, the youth was still unable to understand as to why the Japanese were so attached to baseball. Perhaps he was unable to understand because he was Chinese.

Although it had been thousands of years of continually switching to different nationalities and even different bodies, but from heart, he always sees himself as Chinese. This may be because before he had been hit by lightning becoming an immortal spiritual body, he had already a matured. The so-called leopard changing its spot, is simply a sentence tailor-made for him.

“Wipe your tears, or they’ll think I bullied you when they come back.” Masashi handed over a sheet of paper towel.

“Thank You,” Masako whispered her thanks.

When Yamaguchi Tomoko and the others came back, the three were surprised to see that the Yamaguchi Masako was talking and laughing as she chatted with the youth.

“You….” Kurata Ryoko looked at them wanting to ask.

“Sister, did you buy me the manga?” Without waiting for her to speak, Masako hurriedly intercepted her.

“It seems like we came back too early.” The beautiful short haired Tachibana Minoru said with a smile.

Seeing her younger sister shyly lowering her head, Yamaguchi Tomoko smiled, putting a bag of mangas in front of her, “I bought back some, see if you like it.”

“Thank you, sister.” Knowing that she was helping her break through the situation, Masako said very gratefully.

“Strange fellow.” Kurata Ryoko said as she sat down.

“Hey, Masashi, wait a minute and we’ll go out for dinner. Make a phone call to aunt and tell her that she doesn’t need to make your meal.” The cousin of the youth also said.

“No, I’ll go home for dinner.”

“No, rarely see your face, so it’s settled.” Kurata Ryoko found that this guy got along very comfortably, and didn’t want to let him go so quickly.

“Has anyone told you that it’s a bad habit to make a decision for someone else, if you don’t change, then it would be difficult to marry later on.”
