Chapter 1551 Playing Baseball with a Beautiful Woman (Part 1)
At the Nohara residence, it was 5:30 in the morning. Mingxu had just gotten up when he heard the alarm clock ringing inside. He peeked in, somewhat confused. Who set the alarm for 5:30?
"Dad, what's going on?" Just as I looked inside, I saw Hiroshi turn off the alarm clock, get up, and casually pull back the curtains.
Outside, it was still somewhat dark.
"Now is a good day for practice! Hehe~ Xiaoxu, do you want to practice with Dad?" Guangzhi looked at Mingxu and said with a smile.
"Huh? Practice what?" Mingxu looked at Guangzhi with some confusion. He was quite bewildered by Guangzhi's question so early in the morning.
"Ah~" Misae, Shin-chan, and Himawari were also awakened by this action. Mingxu was a little confused. He used to be unable to wake up no matter what he did, but today he woke up so easily?
"What time is it now?"
"Mom, you overslept again," Xiaoxin said casually, rubbing his eyes.
"Oh no, make breakfast, make breakfast! Oh dear, we're going to be late again!" Misae hurriedly got up and ran towards the kitchen. Mingxu looked at Misae in confusion: "Mom, isn't today Saturday? Kindergarten is closed."
"..." Misae paused, looking at them somewhat awkwardly, "How could I forget..."
"Oh dear, Mom is so silly." Shin-chan and Koma shrugged, looking defeated by Misae.
"It's all your fault!" Misae glared at Shin-chan, glancing at the time. "Wait, it's not even 6 o'clock yet! What's going on, honey? Why are you up so early? Is something wrong today?"
Looking at Hiroshi standing in front of the glass door, everyone's eyes were filled with confusion.
"Hehe~" Hiroshi turned around and grinned at them, then opened the glass door, stood in the yard, and began his warm-up exercises: "1234, 2234~"
Looking at Hiroshi's expression, Shin-chan looked confused: "Dad, you're making fun of me."
"You should be saying you're really excited, right? 1234~" Hiroshi replied before continuing to warm up.
Misae was also a little annoyed and asked, "What's wrong with you, honey? It's a day off today, why are you up so early?"
"Tomorrow, I'm playing baseball against a client," Hiroshi replied with a smile.
Mingxu was even more confused: "There's no need to get up so early."
Misae nodded in agreement: "I've never seen you practice before, how can you compete?"
Hiroshi said with some helplessness, "Our team has to win occasionally, but recently we've lost several games in a row." As he spoke, he shook his head, it seemed that the previous wins and losses were still having some impact on him.
"Oh, oh." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Xiao Xu, aren't you going out to exercise? Xiao Bai has been waiting for you for ages." Mei Ya pointed to Xiao Bai in the yard and said to Ming Xu.
"Oh, Xiaobai, let's go." Mingxu paused for a moment, nodded, and took Xiaobai out the door.
Then Misae looked at Shin-chan again: "Shin-chan, why don't you practice with Daddy, okay?"
Xiao Xinyan nodded and said, "Okay~ I'll help, I'll help!"
"Ah, no need, he'll only make things worse." Hiroshi shook his head when he saw Shin-chan. Shin-chan's help? Forget it, Asahi is more reliable.
Xiao Xinyan immediately became dissatisfied, looked at Guangzhi pitifully, and said, "Dad~ when have I ever caused you any trouble~ tell me~"
“…1234~” Hiroshi looked at Shin-chan speechlessly, then turned around and continued warming up.
Misae didn't want to go back to bed either, so she got up and said, "I have to go wash the comforter."
After warming up, Hiroshi started waving a towel around in the yard, using it as a baseball bat.
Shin-chan sat on the wooden platform, looked at Hiroshi, and complained, "Practicing like this is really boring."
Hiroshi didn't stop, and while waving the towel, he replied, "Practice is inherently boring."
"Then I'll sing a song so it won't be so boring!" Shin-chan said excitedly, standing up and clapping his hands to the beat: "1234, hey ya, hey ya, hey ya~"
Hiroshi was even influenced by Shin-chan's rhythm, singing along: "Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye~"
However, he quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly stopped, saying, "Oh no, that's not right. You've really made me dizzy. Besides, it's still early. Don't be too noisy!" Looking at Shin-chan, Hiroshi also looked helpless. Inside the house, Himawari couldn't sleep either, so she got up and sat on the wooden platform watching them.
"La la la~" Shin-chan sang softly, and Hiroshi looked at him helplessly: "Stop messing around."
"Otherwise it'll be too boring, we should just throw a real ball." Shin-chan looked at Hiroshi, who still seemed bored.
"Uh, that's true, but no one practices with me," Hiroshi said with a headache. But then he glanced at Shin-chan and saw him pointing at him, looking like he could practice with him.
Looking at Shin-chan, Hiroshi paused for a moment: "Sigh~ Shin-chan, although he's a bit unreliable, it's better than nothing."
Shin-chan nodded, and seeing his expression, Hiroshi also thought about giving it a try. So he took out a baseball kit from inside the house, handed Shin-chan another glove and a ball, and stood not far from Shin-chan with the glove in his hand: "Okay, throw the ball over here, Shin-chan."
"Okay~" Shin-chan said, throwing it forcefully at Hiroshi.
However, Hiroshi easily caught that force.
Looking at Shin-chan, he said, "Hey, what's going on? You need to perk up and catch it." He then tossed the ball to Shin-chan, who instinctively caught it, but ended up sitting on his bottom on the ground.
Shin-chan looked at the ball in his glove with excitement: "Dad, I caught it!"
Hiroshi nodded, then urged, "Hurry up, throw it back quickly!"
"Okay, Dad, today looks really scary." Shin-chan complained and then threw it at Hiroshi again.
"Give it another shot, catch it!" Hiroshi said, throwing it to Shin-chan again. Although Shin-chan caught it, he staggered a few steps and looked at Hiroshi with dissatisfaction: "Dad! Be gentler!" He then threw it to Shin-chan again.
"No, you have to throw it harder!" Hiroshi said, throwing it at Shin-chan again.
Misae is already airing out the blankets, and outside, the sun is slowly rising. Xiaoxu will be back from his workout soon.
Seeing the father and son's expressions, Misae couldn't help but ask, "They seem unusually focused today, what's going on?"
Hiroshi threw it to Shin-chan again, and this time Shin-chan caught it but tripped and fell again. Seeing this, Hiroshi frowned and said, "What's going on? What's going on? Shin-chan, do you want to practice with me like this?"
Shin-chan looked at Hiroshi with a face full of confusion. Was this his father?
Seeing Shin-chan's expression, Hiroshi continued his sarcastic remark: "What? Have you surrendered?!"
Shin-chan puffed out his cheeks and threw the ball forcefully at Hiroshi. Feeling the power of the ball, Hiroshi nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, good! That's it, you're throwing it more and more steadily!" Hiroshi smiled and started throwing the ball to Shin-chan again. The father and son passed the ball back and forth, and this time it was getting smoother and smoother.
Seeing this, Hiroshi nodded in satisfaction: "Good, good, hehe~ Okay, now try swinging it hard."
Shin-chan nodded, then twisted his waist. Seeing Shin-chan's reaction, Hiroshi was speechless again: "Who told you to twist your waist! I'm your arm, your arm!"
Startled by Hiroshi's stern voice, Shin-chan quickly raised his arm. Hiroshi continued to scold, "Idiot, you need to use the power of your arm when you throw the ball!"
Shin-chan immediately followed Hiroshi's instructions and began to swing the pen forcefully.
"Hmm, don't sway back and forth, stand firmly, use your stomach, lift your chin! Make your stance bigger! You're not using enough force!" Seeing Shin-chan constantly changing under his guidance, Hiroshi hadn't even continued when Shin-chan couldn't take it anymore and lay down on the ground.
With a pained expression, she said, "Dad, I can't take it anymore!"
"No whining! Listen carefully, Shin-chan! Daddy isn't yelling at you because he hates you!" Hiroshi said to Shin-chan with a serious expression.
"Huh?" Shin-chan looked up in confusion. What was that?
"I'm so strict with you because I think you're pretty good at it, maybe you have a talent for baseball. Do you understand my good intentions, Shin-chan?" Hiroshi continued.
"Dad~" Shin-chan nodded.
