Chapter 198 Chu River and Han Border
Chapter 198 Chu River and Han Border
"Pfft~"
Having not seen his friends for a few days, Yu Bai felt that they were still as "interesting" as ever.
“I ran into Xiaozheng at the intersection. They had just finished a game and were about to celebrate. They asked me if I wanted to join them. So, I came with them.”
Yu Bai pointed to the street outside the window, a mixture of helplessness and amusement on his face. "I just didn't expect you guys to be eating barbecue here too."
Upon hearing this, Atobe Keigo gave a soft hum and pointed to the chair next to him, "Since you're here, then sit with us."
Meanwhile, Yue Ren and Ci Lang couldn't wait to start grilling meat for Yu Bai, waiting for him to sit down so he could eat the meat they had personally grilled.
“But Bai came with us, so naturally he’ll sit with us. Besides, I see there are already so many people sitting here, it’s too crowded.”
Before Yu Bai could say anything after hearing Atobe Keigo's words, Akashi Seijuro grabbed Yu Bai's wrist and said to Atobe Keigo.
"Heh, I can have them add more tables, and Yu Bai is one of our Hyotei people! Waiter, add more tables!"
I don't know why, but Atobe Keigo always seems to clash with Akashi Seijuro.
Atobe Keigo frowned slightly, touched his beauty mark under his eye, snapped his fingers with his right hand, and signaled the waiter to move the table next to him over.
Just as the waiter was about to come over, he was frozen in place by the sharp look in Akashi Seijuro's heterochromatic eyes, and dared not move.
"I think we shouldn't trouble the waiter, don't you think?"
Even if Akashi Seijuro didn't say it, Yu Bai could see it in his eyes: "No one can defy me, not even my parents."
What did the waiter do wrong? He's just a shop assistant.
Yu Bai had begun to feel sympathy for the waiter who was stuck in a dilemma, unable to move forward or backward.
Others might be intimidated by Akashi Seijuro's imposing presence, but Atobe Keigo would not.
Who is he? He's the captain of the Hyotei Tennis Club, the king of the entire Hyotei Academy.
The battle between kings has begun.
Zhila, zhila.
Lightning flashed between Atobe Keigo and Akashi Seijuro, accompanied by sparks.
The Teiko and Hyotei members standing nearby were initially unaware of what had happened, but as things unfolded...
The people from Hyotei realized that this group of people had come to steal their friend.
How can this work!
Yu Bai belongs to Hyotei.
Meanwhile, the members of Teiko, though unaware of the relationship between Shiratobe Keigo and Akashi Seijuro, inexplicably felt a surge of competitive spirit when facing Hyotei.
Only Yu Bai stood between the two groups, creating a scene reminiscent of the Chu-Han Contention.
He is the dividing line between Hyotei and Teiko.
"Um...actually, we can all eat together, right? Waiter, could you please put our tables together?"
Stop arguing, stop arguing.
It's truly good when everyone is happy!
Yu Bai quickly interrupted the tense atmosphere. He looked at the waiter who was sweating profusely from the tense atmosphere and gestured for them to put several tables together to form a large long table.
Fortunately, the tables here are all one-piece designs that can be easily moved.
With the quick coordination of several waiters, a long table large enough to accommodate everyone was soon put together.
Yu Bai sat in the middle, with the members of Hyotei on his right and the members of Teiko on his left.
Although everyone was sitting together, the atmosphere still seemed somewhat eerie and tense.
Despite enjoying the delicious barbecue, Yu Bai felt like he couldn't taste anything.
Until... Kise Ryota suddenly suggested a barbecue competition to see which side ate the most.
Since Hyotei had already eaten for a while before they arrived, to ensure fairness, what Hyotei ate beforehand can also be counted in their match count.
This instantly ignited the competitive spirit of both sides.
They're both athletic youngsters, how could they possibly lose to each other?
So, plate after plate of roasted meat quickly disappeared into their mouths.
Teiko's side, thanks to Atsushi Murasakibara and Daiki Aomine, managed to temporarily gain the upper hand even though there was a girl among them.
Meanwhile, Yuushi Oshitari, who was initially reluctant to participate on Hyotei's side, was dragged into the mess by his partner.
In the end, whether it was Hyotei or Teiko, they all went in standing up and came out leaning against the wall.
Yu Bai looked at the group of people who were rubbing their stomachs, trying to make them feel better because they had eaten too much, with a mix of amusement and exasperation.
He turned and ran to the pharmacy, where he bought digestive tablets for everyone.
Back at the restaurant, Yu Bai handed out digestive tablets to each of them, while holding a glass of water. With a half-moon-shaped eye, he complained, "Let's see if you dare to eat like this again next time. Aren't you afraid of getting a stomachache?"
"Hehe~ I knew you were the best, Bai~" Mukahi Gakuto ate a digestive pill from Yu Bai's hand and laughed a little foolishly.
Meanwhile, Atobe Keigo, who was standing to the side, also seemed to be feeling rather uncomfortable.
He frowned slightly, a hint of discomfort showing on his handsome face.
For some reason, seeing Akashi Seijuro's slightly provocative gaze, he suddenly had a brain fart and joined the fight with the guys around him.
Normally on the court, no matter how much the opposing team provokes him, he can always maintain his dazzling style.
Having never eaten so much grilled meat at once, Atobe Keigo felt a bit uncomfortable and wanted to rub his stomach.
However, seeing Akashi Seijuro standing to the side, who also looked rather unwell, he forcefully suppressed the thought.
Atobe Keigo snapped his fingers, raised his head, and was about to say something when he felt a churning in his stomach.
His face turned green instantly, and he lowered his head.
"Alright, alright, Jing. I've already called the butler, the driver will be here to pick you up soon. And Sei, is that car the Akashi family's?"
Yu Bai gently patted Atobe Keigo's back to help him catch his breath, then looked up at Akashi Seijuro and pointed to a limousine parked on the side of the street, asking a question.
"Yes, that's right. We'll be going now, but remember to come watch our finals sometime during this period."
Akashi Seijuro glanced at the car in the corner, nodded, and gave Yu Bai some instructions.
"Okay, I'll remember to go."
After watching Teiko and her group get into the car, Yu Bai waited until Hyotei and the others had also been picked up before using the teleporter to return to his own Honmaru.
He thought the battle was over, but he never expected that another great battle was waiting for him in the citadel.
……
Keigo Atobe: Hmph~ We'll still win in the end.
Seijuro Akashi: We won, even though we did.
Yu Bai: Shut up, take your digestive pills, and go home, everyone!
