Chapter 79 Football 79 Answer Me
"King Xu?"
Jie Shiyi's footsteps were particularly clear in the empty training field.
He strode towards Suoh Hyo-hee, his gaze fixed on her slightly pale face.
"King Su, King Su."
"How are you?"
Jie Shiyi frowned, firmly placed her hands on Suoh Hyo-hee's shoulders, and gently shook her, "Stop daydreaming."
Suoh Hyo-ki's body swayed slightly as Kiyoshi swayed, and his gaze gradually focused, as if he had been pulled back to reality from a dream.
He abruptly raised his head, looking at Jie Shiyi who had suddenly appeared in his field of vision, his eyes full of confusion, "When did you get here?"
His voice was a little hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time.
Suoh Hyo-hee and the other three have entered the final stage of the second round of the first selection – four against four.
There are very few teams that remain at the four-on-four stage, which means that the four members of the Green Team (Ryosuke Kira, Koki Suoh, Kazuki Futako, and Reio Mikage) are either training or looking for opponents.
Jie Shiyi released her hand from Suoh Hyo-hee's shoulder and slowly sat down beside him.
His short, dark blue hair was slightly disheveled, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead, clearly indicating that he had just finished a fierce match.
“Just now,” Jie Shiyi replied, her voice calm and steady, “we chose Bingzhi.”
He paused, then turned his gaze to Suwang Hyo-hee, “I called you several times, but you seemed to have lost your soul and didn’t react at all.”
Suoh Hyo-ki's brows furrowed slightly, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the hem of his clothes, and his voice involuntarily lowered, "I see..." His voice carried a hint of weariness, as if he were carrying a heavy burden.
Suoh Koki has been acting strangely these past few days, especially after his conversation with Amano Minaka; his mind seems to be completely off training.
Jie Shiyi keenly noticed Suoh Hyoki's change and decided to stop beating around the bush, directly offering his suggestion, "How about a competition with us?"
"With you?"
Suoh Hyo-hee repeated somewhat blankly, his eyes still unfocused, as if he hadn't fully come to his senses yet.
Jie Shi nodded, his gaze firm. "Yes, with us." His voice held a hint of expectation, as if this match was the only opportunity he could seize.
What he expects is a player who can ignore all defenses.
"But didn't you want to take back BeeJoy?"
Suoh Hyo-ki suddenly spoke, his voice tinged with doubt.
Jie Shiyi's eyes darkened slightly, but then returned to calm. "We haven't seen him at this stage. Perhaps he has already completed all the projects in this stage."
Just then, a cheerful voice rang out without warning, "Hehehe, it's been a long time, everyone!"
Jie Shiyi suddenly raised her head, her gaze quickly locking onto the source of the sound.
His pupils contracted slightly, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face. Feng Lehui was standing not far away, with his usual smile on his face, as if he had never left.
"BeeJoy?"
Jie Shiyi's voice trembled slightly, his eyes wide as he stared intently at Feng Lehui, "What are you doing here?"
"You lost?"
Her heart skipped a beat, and her eyes lit up instantly, as if she had seen a glimmer of hope. Jie Shiyi immediately changed the subject, her eyes fixed on Feng Lehui.
"In that case, let's have a competition!"
Although Suoh Hyoki is the player he wants, his goal is to win back Hello Baku.
I will take you back.
Jie Shiyi said firmly.
"I'm afraid that won't work."
Feng Le put his hands behind his head, his index finger twitching slightly in rhythm with his speech. He tilted his head and smiled, the light filtering through the steel frame of the training field's roof casting dappled shadows on his face. "I've finished this phase."
"Huh?!"
Jie Shiyi's hand was still in the position of trying to hold Feng Liang, his fingertips twitching spasmodically in the air. His pupils suddenly contracted, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, making a barely audible swallowing sound.
Suoh Hyo-hee also turned his gaze over.
“Then why did you…” Jie Shiyi’s voice suddenly caught in his throat. He noticed that Feng Le Hui’s jersey wasn’t red, but blue. The cold lights of the training field reflected fine beads of sweat on his forehead. “Shouldn’t you have moved to a different building…”
"It's a reward!"
Suddenly, Feng Lehui spun around in place, his large blue jersey drawing an arc under the lights.
He spread his arms wide like a child showing off a new toy, "because we won the last part of this stage. Mr. Huixin said we can freely visit the other floors."
A faint grinding sound came from Jie Shiyi's back molars.
"So fast, as expected of Rin..."
Before he could finish speaking, Feng Le interrupted him.
"It's not Rin."
"It is the Emperor of Heaven."
Feng Lehui's toes traced a semicircle on the ground, the lamplight casting a long, thin shadow. "In four-on-four, we faced off against Tian Zhiyu and his team, and then they chose me."
He suddenly shivered, his right hand unconsciously touching his left shoulder, his golden eyes were replaced by coils, and the figure of a monster seemed to appear behind him, "a ghost that can see through all passing routes and a powerful shot."
"This is so much fun!"
Feng Le subconsciously licked his lips, a look of satisfaction on his face.
Memories of yesterday's match against world-class players flooded his mind.
"The monster said he was very happy."
He got excited, and his tone became excited as well.
Golden pupils widened, staring at Jie Shiyi's expression.
Jie knows that she'll be jumping for joy when she plays against world-class players.
But Beehive doesn't intend to tell him now.
Only what you open yourself is a surprise.
Upon hearing this, Jie Shiyi was somewhat tempted. "As expected of the 'Son of God,' I really want to have a proper match with him."
"Too late~ He's already been discharged from Blue Prison."
The sound of Beehive was as light as a feather, yet it froze the entire space instantly.
The metal bench suddenly emitted a screeching sound. Suoh Hyo-ki abruptly stood up, his black hair flying wildly in the night wind.
He gripped the sports water bottle tightly, his knuckles turning bluish-white: "Jie, I'm a little..."
"Koki, Rei-ou is looking for you."
Kira Ryosuke's sneakers just happened to step into the silence at that moment.
The light brown pupils, still reflecting the data recording board from the training session, shattered into pieces the instant they heard those words.
The aluminum can containing the energy drink slipped from his fingers, bouncing and rolling on the concrete floor toward Suoh Hyo-ki's feet.
He immediately turned his gaze to Suoh Kōki, but Suoh Kōki turned his head away, pretending to be calm.
"You knew all along?"
Kira Ryosuke's Adam's apple bobbed violently, his voice like ice shards squeezed from between his teeth. He strode closer, the taut muscles beneath his athletic shorts clearly visible under the light.
He had just discussed with Reio Mikage how to defeat Ryusei Shido. But upon arriving here, he learned that Amanomichi had withdrawn.
His light brown eyes were filled with resolute determination, followed by sadness and anger.
Why didn't you tell me?
Aren't we friends?
Or am I the one who was abandoned?
Suoh Hyo-hee staggered backward, his lower back slamming into a storage cabinet with a loud bang.
The space was suddenly pierced by Bee's laughter. "I thought it was because my English grades were too bad..." He spread his hands as if to be relaxed, but his voice stopped abruptly in front of Kira's red eyes.
Answer me!
Kira Ryosuke suddenly grabbed Suoh Koki by the collar, his wrist bulging with veins from the excessive force. He could feel the other's warm breath brushing against his trembling fingertips, just like the temperature when Amano Minaka patted him on the shoulder and said, "You must become the best in the world."
"Hello!"
Jie Shiyi and Feng Lehui hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.
"Let him go!"
Suoh Koki's lips trembled, and blood seeped from between his pale pink lip lines. Kira Ryosuke's fist grazed Suoh Koki's ear and slammed into the storage cabinet, the dull thud mixed with the faint sound of knuckles cracking.
Warm drops of blood splattered on the pale cheeks of the King of Beard, like red plum blossoms blooming in the snow.
Feng Lehui and Jie Shiyi forcefully separated the two.
"Calm down, calm down."
But their attempts to dissuade them were completely ineffective.
"Why didn't you say anything..." Kira Ryosuke's voice suddenly choked up, "Why did you pretend nothing was wrong?"
Why did you hide it from me?
"Answer me."
“Sorry…” Suoh Hyoki said in a muffled voice, “I forgot.”
What Suoh Hyo-hee said was the truth.
He really did forget.
Ever since separating from Amanominaka, Suoh Koki's mind has been acting strangely.
Reduced sense of touch, blurred vision, hearing loss...
Perhaps he's being too sensitive.
Suoh Hyo-hee felt that he was too tired during this period, which led to his poor mental state.
This apology only added fuel to the fire. Instead of making Kira Ryosuke feel that it was sincere, it fueled his anger even more.
Even Jie Shiyi and Feng Lehui, who were present, felt that they were being treated perfunctorily.
It's completely out of control.
They're not going to hit me again, are they?
Jie Shiyi's gaze darted between the two of them. She just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
“No wonder Tennoomi left Blue Prison.” Beehive narrowed his eyes and said to Kira Ryosuke and Suoh Koki with a provocative smile.
"One is emotionally unstable and unable to move forward; the other has violent tendencies and is always thinking about the past."
"How could you possibly work with someone like that?"
The two remained silent, staring at Feng Lehui with grim faces.
Jie Shiyi quickly waved her hand, trying to smooth things over, "Feng Le... he... he didn't mean that at all."
"That's what I meant, Jie."
Feng Le patted Jie Shiyi on the shoulder, her smile fading slightly, and her eyes becoming serious.
"If you think I'm wrong, then let's have a match."
Suoh Koki's brow twitched, and Kira Ryosuke's lips twitched. Clearly, both of them were somewhat tempted.
"Okay, let's do it together then." Feng Lehui understood their tacit agreement, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
His voice carried a hint of excitement, as if he couldn't wait to start the match.
"but--"
He then changed the subject, saying, "I'm in 'reward' time now. My other teammates have either taken leave to go home or withdrawn from the competition, so we can't even field a full team."
"How about we have Jie's team take their place?"
After saying that, Chao Jieshi winked.
? !
We're doomed.
A chill ran from Jie Shiyi's feet to the top of his head. He didn't dare turn his head to look at the two menacing expressions.
I only sensed that a storm was brewing.
