Chapter 286: Forced Weight Loss: Dong Qingguo

When Dong Qingguo and Nanjo Taishi walked over and put the things down, the former immediately grabbed Huangqian Yangyi and used his fist to drill and drill on his head.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

"That'll teach you to show off! You brat." Dong Qingguo laughed loudly.

Huangqian Yangyi broke free from Dong Qingguo's grip, and the first thing he did was pat Dong Qingguo's round, big belly.

"Senior, suck in your stomach a bit. Don't let the Director see, or he'll lecture you," Huangqian Yangyi teased.

Uh... Dong Qingguo hurriedly sucked in his stomach, because he had already seen Director Kataoka in the stadium looking over in his direction.

"Ahem! The things aren't all moved yet, everyone lend a hand." Dong Qingguo called for everyone to go to the car and move the items.

With everyone's help, all the gifts on the car were moved to the stadium.

The First Year players who were training looked at Dong Qingguo and Nanjo Taishi as they appeared; some recognized them, some did not.

"Is that Senior Dong Qingguo? Shouldn't he be playing as a Professional Baseball Player right now? Why is he back?"

"That must be Senior Nanjo, Seido's former ace!"

"So imposing!"

Amidst the juniors' discussions, Dong Qingguo and Nanjo Taishi walked honestly toward Director Kataoka.

"Director, Department Head, long time no see." Dong Qingguo laughed heartily.

Nanjo Taishi, who had a steadier personality, just greeted them calmly.

"Dong, Nanjo, long time no see," Takashima Rei smiled.

"Why did you two come over?" Director Kataoka opened his mouth and froze both of them in place.

"It's just that we've been away from the school for a while and missed it too much, so we came back to see everyone," Dong Qingguo bluffed.

Nanjo Taishi stood to the side, pursing his lips and smiling.

Seeing this, the wise Director Kataoka immediately said, "Nanjo, you tell me!"

"Ah-Dong was required to suspend games and training for a period of time because his weight increased too much, specifically to lose weight."

"Hahahahaha~"

After saying this, Nanjo Taishi could no longer hold back and laughed out loud.

Dong Qingguo was so embarrassed his face turned bright red; having this kind of thing said out loud was too shameful.

Director Kataoka looked coldly at Dong Qingguo, this student who made him proud, "Is what Nanjo said true?"

"It's... true." Dong Qingguo really wanted to deny it, but in front of Director Kataoka, he was just an honest little chick.

"How many times have I told you to pay attention to diet management? How much of it did you listen to?" Director Kataoka said.

"I..."

"Don't 'I' me. If you had listened, you wouldn't be like this now. Lose weight properly during this time and strive to return to the team soon!"

"Yes, Director!"

Dong Qingguo promised loudly.

Before coming, he had already prepared himself to be scolded like a dog by the Director, but he didn't expect it to end after just two simple sentences.

Just as the few were catching up, less than ten meters away, Huangqian Yangyi held a small knife and opened the boxes one by one, with a circle of people gathered around.

"Yo, there's food and drink."

"And they're all name brands."

"It's different, huh. A Professional Baseball Player really is different."

"Senior Dong is a rich man now, too."

Hearing the juniors discussing him, Dong Qingguo turned around and shouted, "Eat up, don't be polite with me. I'll be upset with anyone who doesn't eat."

"Senior Dong is generous!"

Although he said that, no one really ate. It was training time now, and everyone except the First String was still training.

After chatting with the Director for a while and meeting the team's new Technical Head Coach, Ochiai Hiromitsu, Dong Qingguo and Nanjo Taishi went to the sidelines with their former teammates to reminisce about the past.

"Right, there are two First Year Pitchers on the First String now, right?" Dong Qingguo suddenly asked.

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Ya-haha, it's not easy for me to come back once. Let them come over; I have to see if my juniors are up to the task and if they have real skills." Dong Qingguo slapped his thigh heroically.

"Ah-Dong, isn't Huangqian also your junior? Do you want to see his skills?"

As soon as Nanjo Taishi said this, it directly sent Dong Qingguo into a state of self-seclusion.

"I... I'm so familiar with Huangqian, we were even in the same dormitory before. Don't I know what skills he has? Do I still need to see?"

"Is that so? You aren't scared, are you? A Professional Baseball Player, oh." Nanjo Taishi didn't let go of any chance to poke at his good friend's heart.

"Scared?!"

Dong Qingguo stood up with a 'whoosh', "Bring it on, would I be scared of him?"

"No, no, no, I'm not playing. There's a game tomorrow. If it affects my condition, that would be a huge loss," Huangqian Yangyi hurriedly refused. At this time, a duel with Dong Qingguo was not a good thing; there was no benefit whether he won or lost.

Especially for Dong Qingguo, if he lost and it got spread around, it would greatly affect his reputation in professional baseball.

Once Dong Qingguo heard this, he immediately understood that Huangqian Yangyi was giving him a way out.

"Exactly, exactly. What if it affects tomorrow's final?" Dong Qingguo hurriedly went along with the excuse.

Not far behind them, Sawamura, Furuya, and Arima Kazusa gathered together; they couldn't join in on the seniors' excitement.

"What are they talking about? What Professional Baseball Player?" Sawamura asked.

"They're talking about that Senior Dong, our team's former Captain, and he was also the cleanup hitter. He's very amazing," Arima Kazusa patiently explained to Sawamura.

As a local and a die-hard supporter of Seido, he had watched Seido's games live many times before, and he knew both Dong Qingguo and Nanjo Taishi.

"Really? Is he really that amazing?" Sawamura continued to ask.

"Of course, Senior Dong is a Professional Baseball Player now, and Senior Nanjo also serves as a starter for his university baseball team."

"Compare who is better with Aniki?"

"This, it should be about the same, I'm talking about batting." Arima Kazusa smiled awkwardly.

Sawamura nodded thoughtfully, "But he is very fat, his belly is so big, can he even play baseball?"

"Who!! Who is calling me fat!"

Dong Qingguo roared; it was fine for Huangqian Yangyi to say he was fat, but these stinking First Year brats actually dared to call him fat, this could not be tolerated.

"The brats over there! Was it you!" Dong Qingguo turned his head and shouted in the direction of the three.

Arima Kazusa was startled, hurriedly standing at attention and shaking his head; he really hadn't been prepared, that idiot Sawamura actually talked about someone's big belly in front of a senior.

The equally innocent Furuya had a blank, silly look on his face, as if he were an emotionless machine malfunctioning.

"Miyuki! Go grab them and bring them over!"

"Haha, alrighty."

Miyuki, who loved to watch the chaos, trotted over happily, grabbed Sawamura and Furuya by the arms, and brought them both over.

"Senior Dong, these are the First Year Pitchers you wanted, please do me a favor and teach them a good lesson." Miyuki said with a smile.

"Bastard Miyuki, let me go!" Sawamura shouted and struggled to break free from Miyuki's clutches.

Facing Sawamura's accusations, Miyuki stood to the side with his hands on his hips and laughed out loud.
