Chapter 63: Who on earth is the boy the goddess wants to confess to!

Yasui Ryoto and Zhongdao Wushi learned the news almost at the same time—Yue Dao Lin, whom they had been pursuing bitterly for a whole year, was actually going to confess to some boy under the cherry blossom tree in the school backyard today?

The two rushed out of the classroom at the same time and met head-on at the corner of the corridor leading to the backyard.

The moment their eyes met, anger that was hard to believe ignited in their eyes.

"Don't tell me the person Yue Dao Lin wants to confess to is you?!"

"Don't tell me the person Yue Dao Lin wants to confess to is you?!"

The simultaneous questioning echoed in the corridor; the two stared at each other, then clenched their fists at the same time.

From the beginning of their first year of high school, they had been attracted to Yue Dao Lin at the same time, and had engaged in a bright and dark struggle that had lasted for a whole school year.

It had long been a well-known topic throughout the second year of high school.

When they heard this news from Yue Dao Lin's best friend, their first reaction was that the other party had finally succeeded.

Thinking that the girl they had been chasing for a year might be snatched away by the guy in front of them, anger and unwillingness surged in their hearts, yet they inexplicably felt a sense of sympathy for each other.

After all, they both had to admit that the other party was a respectable opponent.

Yasui Ryoto came from a wealthy background, had a handsome face, and was the vice-captain of the Shogi Force.

He was quite popular on campus and could receive confessions from 3~5 girls every year.

At only seventeen, he had already joined the Shogi Association and became a 2nd-dan player in the Reward Society.

In the Reward Society system of the Shogi Association, there were two levels.

One was Reward Society 6th~1st grade.

Only after being promoted from 1st grade would there be dan ranks, which were Reward Society 1st-dan, 2nd-dan, and 3rd-dan.

Once breaking through to 3rd-dan, one could be promoted to a professional shogi player.

This was the goal Yasui Ryoto dreamed of, and he had been working tirelessly for it.

Yasui Ryoto knew his talent well and was convinced he could break through from 2nd-dan to 3rd-dan before the age of twenty to achieve this dream.

Those who could achieve this feat at the age of twenty were few and far between, which was also his proudest asset!

And such an excellent person as him had always cherished special feelings for Yue Dao Lin in his heart.

For her, he had declined all girls who showed interest in him.

Speaking of the origin of this affection, it could be traced back to every morning of school.

Yue Dao Lin would always practice in the orchestral room on the right side of the cherry blossom road.

Every day stepping into the school gate, what Yasui Ryoto looked forward to most was stopping to appreciate the beautiful figure of the girl he liked and listening to the melodious music she played before heading to the teaching building.

Yue Dao Lin had an outstanding appearance and was a recognized school beauty.

What was even more coincidental was that she was also Yasui Ryoto's classmate.

The time spent together day and night made this secret crush increasingly difficult to suppress.

Therefore, since his first year, he had been pursuing Yue Dao Lin wholeheartedly and had never accepted the feelings of other girls.

But what annoyed him most was that throughout his first year of high school, his pursuit had been interfered with by many of Yue Dao Lin's pursuers, the most troublesome of whom was Zhongdao Wushi!

"Don't tell me the person Yue Dao-san likes is really you, you bastard?" Yasui Ryoto glared at Zhongdao Wushi through gritted teeth.

Zhongdao Wushi did not show weakness and retorted: "That's what I should be saying!"

Zhongdao Wushi was also a prominent figure at Private Moonlight Academy.

As the number two pitcher for the Baseball Force, his pitching speed could reach an average of 135 km/h, and could break 140 km/h when in good condition.

This result could be considered outstanding among high school students!

Members of the Baseball Force were the focus of girls' attention in any high school, and Zhongdao Wushi would also receive confessions from 3~5 girls every year.

But he had no interest in those shows of affection, and only had Yue Dao Lin in his heart.

Speaking of the opportunity for him to fall in love with Yue Dao Lin, it could be traced back to the time he walked through the cherry blossom road to school every morning.

When he first enrolled in his first year, Zhongdao Wushi felt very inferior about his baseball ability.

The competition within the Baseball Force was fierce, and many members were fighting for the position of number two pitcher.

With his strength at the time, it was difficult to stand out.

The motivation that supported him to persist was Yue Dao Lin.

The left side of the cherry blossom road was the practice field for the Baseball Force, and the first floor of the teaching building on the right was the practice place for the orchestral club.

One day, when he was punished for running because of a training error, he noticed the orchestral club playing music outside the first floor.

He didn't pay much attention at the time, until a crisp "Go for it" came from there.

Zhongdao Wushi immediately looked up at that time, clearly remembering that Yue Dao Lin was watching him.

That moment—he only felt that Yue Dao Lin must be cheering for him, and his heart pounded instantly!

From then on, whenever he heard the music played by Yue Dao Lin during morning practice, he would think of the encouragement from that day.

It was this motivation that supported him in standing out from many excellent Baseball Force members and finally winning the position of number two pitcher.

It could be said that without Yue Dao Lin, there would be no achievement for him today! ===== CHAPTER 64 =====
