Tetsuro Nishiwaki had a bad feeling when the conversation turned to the college game he played his senior year.He thought to himself, they must bring up that matter again anyway, so he lowered his head and drank the warmed beer. "The key point is still in the third quarter. If the goal is scored, the situation will change 180 degrees later, but that goal was not scored. It's really disappointing." , he frowned with a smile.His body is as big as when he was playing, and his neck is also thick; the only difference is that his shoulders and back have become rounded, and his stomach is as big as a watermelon.

"I've said it several times, not many kickers can score goals from such a long distance." Xu Bei pouted while holding disposable chopsticks in one hand.He is currently working for an insurance company. This man, who was once the ace kicker of Imperial University, heard that people in the company nicknamed him "Bear Man" because of his appearance. "The shot was thirty-seven, eight yards, no, maybe closer to forty." Regarding Sugai's rebuttal, Matsuzaki, who was sitting next to Anxi and eating sukiyaki, straightened his face, pointed at Sugai with chopsticks, and said, "This guy, every time he talks about the shooting, the distance will change more and more. The farther. When he mentioned this matter before, he said it was thirty-two or three yards."

"Huh? How could that happen." Xu Bei had a surprised expression on his face. "That's right, that's right, that's true." Anxi patted his thigh. "Nishiwaki, right?" When Anxi called his name, Zhe Lang had no choice but to join the topic. "Really?" Zhe Lang's disinterest was fully revealed in his voice. "Have you forgotten?" Anxi said displeased.Matsuzaki elbowed his side. "How could Nishiwaki forget that game." Anxi also laughed when he heard this sentence. "Hahaha, yes." Zhe Lang could only smile wryly, it seems that the topic is still developing in a direction he doesn't like.

What everyone is talking about is the finals of the college league.If they win that game, Zhe Lang and his team will win the championship. "The last eight seconds," Matsuzaki said with a sigh, folded his arms, "If you score that goal, you will be so handsome. Nishiwaki will definitely get the title of magician." "If you pass the ball to Hayata, winning the championship is not a dream. Right, Hayata, you think so?" Anzai said to a man sitting at the end of the banquet, drinking whiskey and water. "I don't know, who knows what the result will be." Hayata responded without being bothered.He didn't seem to want to participate in the discussion of this topic, probably tired of hearing it.

"If you pass the ball to Hayata, you will definitely win!" Anzai chattered. "At the time, Hayata was unguarded, he was on the far left of the end zone, and he wasn't going to miss that pass target. Nishiwaki just had to pass the ball to him, and it made it. I thought, this time It's a sure win, but..." He didn't continue, because everyone present knew the whole process of the game. "At that time, I didn't expect that Nishiwaki would pass the ball to me," Matsuzaki continued, "because I was completely overwhelmed. The opponent saw through our tactics, and their defender was the famous Ogasawara, so when Nishiwaki The moment I passed the ball, I was done thinking."

Zhe Lang could only listen to them in silence, ate some sukiyaki that had darkened in color, and held the beer in his mouth.The taste of the beer is much bitterer than when the toast was first made. Those present were members of the Teito University American Football Club; a group of friends who were forced to dedicate most of their college lives to football.At that time, most of the members went their separate ways after graduation, and only those who lived in Tokyo met once a year.This time is the thirteenth time.The location is the same every year, a hot pot restaurant in Shinjuku.The party date is the third Friday in November.

"Speaking of Nishiwaki of Teito University, he is recognized as the top three quarterbacks, but..." Anxi was a little drunk and lisp. "What happened at that time? Even we couldn't imagine that such a thing would happen." "It happened so many years ago," Zhe Lang frowned, "You guys are annoying. How many years have you been talking about the same thing? It's time to forget about it." "No, I won't forget." Anxi half clenched his fists and thumped the table. "It was my senior who encouraged me, saying that if I joined the club, I would definitely win the championship. That's why I gave up my judo training from childhood to high school and joined the rugby club. If I knew I couldn't win the championship, I wouldn't have joined. If I didn't play rugby, I would continue to practice judo If it were, I would have already marched in."

"At least get the bronze medal, right?" Xu Bei sighed, "You can talk about this forever." "Give him wine and make him shut up!" Matsuzaki laughed. Zhelan is bored.Hayata stretched out the arm holding the beer bottle in front of him.Zhe Lang picked up the wine glass and accepted Hayata to pour the wine for him. "Is Gao Cang working tonight?" Hayata asked in a low and calm tone. "Well, she went to Kyoto." "Kyoto?" "A huadao master built a luxurious hall and held the inauguration ceremony and parties. She said that she wanted to take pictures and publish them in a certain magazine, so she went to take pictures."

"I see." Hayata nodded and took a sip of his wine. "She's really good at it. It's hard for a big man to do a job like a photographer." "She said that because she likes photography, it doesn't matter if she is a little tired." "I think so." Hayata nodded again. "If Gao Cang doesn't come, it's really boring to drink." An Xi said in a strange voice after being drunk. Zhelang's wife, Risako, used to be the manager of the American football team, whose real name is Takakura.Both she and Zhe Lang have been married for more than eight years, and the golfers present still call her by her old surname.

"Long time no see, Hiura too." Sugai said as if remembering something. "Hipura, it's really nostalgic." Anxi thumped the table again. "That guy, who doesn't feel like a manager of a women's team, knows more about the rules and strategies of the game than we do." "By the way, Anzai, Hiura often teaches you the rules of the game, right?" Sugai nodded. "She's a woman, but she's amazing. She's had serious debates with the coach about tactics. What's the guy doing now?" "I heard that she is married and has a child." Zhe Lang told them, "Risako said it. However, she and Hiura seem to have lost contact after talking on the phone three years ago."

"Once a woman gets married, her circle of friends will change a lot," Xu Bei said. "It's the same with men." Matsuzaki's expression became serious, "That Nakao guy, he's absent today too, isn't he? After he got married, it's hard to date him. He's completely become a family man." "He is a strict wife." Xu Bei responded, and he lowered his voice inexplicably. "Miss Qianjin is really difficult to serve. She is always on the lookout for people, and her son-in-law is hard to do." "Oh my god, can't we be so proud that we can't escape from the palm of our wife?" Anxi pulled the wine bottle in front of him and wanted to pour wine for himself, but the wine bottle was already empty. The banquet ended at ten o'clock, and the group of former rugby club members disbanded in front of the store.In the past, they would renew the second and third stalls, but now no one mentions it.Now that everyone has their own family, time and money can no longer be spent on themselves alone. Zhe Lang and Xu Bei walked towards the subway station together. "They really don't get tired of talking about it," Xu Bei said. "I will always be talked about that shot, and you will always be talked about the last pass. I am not reconciled to losing the championship, But it's been thirteen years, so logically speaking, it should have disappeared." Zhe Lang smiled silently.He knew very well in his heart that Anxi and Matsuzaki didn't really care about those things, they just wanted to get something back, so they kept bringing up the past. Xu Bei remembered the mobile phone on his chest, he took out the mobile phone and walked to the sidewalk. "Oh, why? We've been gossiping until just now.... Well, we just got liberated. Nishiwaki is next to me, and we're going to take the subway." Xu Bei slammed the mouth of the mouth with his hand, and said to Zhe Lang: "Nakao." Zhe Lang nodded, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.It seems that he said Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive. "Well, everyone's here except you. Takakura and Hiura didn't come.... Hahaha, yes, all the votes are full of stinky men. Anxi and the others also said that it doesn't matter if Nishiwaki doesn't come, and I hope Takakura will come ...Well, everyone is the same." Zhe Lang listened to Xu Bei's words with a wry smile.Zhe Lang hasn't met the former scud running back Nakao since the party the year before last. It seemed that there was nothing important about Nakao's call, so Sugai hung up the phone. "He said he wanted to be at the party next year." "Yes." Zhe Lang replied.That guy seemed to say the same thing last year, he thought. When the two started walking again, Sugai suddenly stopped.He looked behind Zhe Lang with a very surprised expression, his mouth half-opened. "what happened to you?" Zhe Lang followed his line of sight.The sidewalk in front of me is the usual scene: young people who are still not satisfied and have not had enough fun, and office workers who are on their way home are bustling. what happened to you?Zhe Lang wanted to ask again.This is, Zhe Lang found that at the other end of the crowd, there was a woman standing with her back to the driveway, staring in their direction. "Isn't she..." Zhe Lang murmured, "Isn't she Ripu?" "Yeah, it really is her. What is she doing standing there?" Xu Bei waved. Standing there was Hiura Mizuki, her pair of phoenix eyes and tall nose looked familiar.However, her cheeks were as thin as a knife, and her jaw looked more tapered than before.She was wearing a black dress, a gray jacket and was carrying a large sports bag. Mei Yue seems to have been looking at Zhe Lang and the others since just now.She sensed that the two had spotted her, walking towards them through the crowd.Her gaze was on Zhe Lang. "You have long hair." Xu Bei beside Zhe Lang said. Meiyue's hair was over her shoulders, it looked a little brown, maybe it was dyed, and it was blown a little messy by the wind.Zhe Lang thought to himself, this is probably the reason why he didn't recognize her immediately.The Hiura Mizuki in his memory always had short hair that barely covered his ears. However, even putting aside this point, the feeling exuding from her body is still far from what Zhe Lang remembered about her, and that doesn't seem to be due to her age. Mei Yue stopped in front of Zhe Lang and the others, looking at their faces in turn.The smile on her face was very stiff. The moment he met her eyes, Zhe Lang felt a strange feeling in his heart.It's like knowing something is wrong, but can't tell why. She moved her lips, but no sound was heard. "What are you doing here? You should know that today is the third Friday in November, right?" Xu Bei didn't intend to blame her, but simply wanted to know the reason. Mizuki gestured a knife in front of her face as if apologizing, then put down her sports bag, and took out a small notebook and ballpoint pen from it. "What's wrong? What's wrong with you?" Xu Bei asked, but she didn't answer. Instead, she wrote something in the notebook and showed it to Zhe Lang. "Find a place to talk", so it was written in the notebook. -------------------------------- Note
