Chapter 39

Tianhai's Study Room

"Suck--ha."

Swallowing a sip of tea and watching movies on the computer leisurely, Tianhai felt that his life was so happy.

"Only every night can I feel so comfortable. I really want to live this kind of life forever."

Even Shi Yi in his mind lay down and enjoyed it.

After going to Hyogo for exchanges, Tianhai almost never had a vacation again.

——It’s not that Coach Irihata is not allowed to take leave, but it’s that spring is approaching and time is running out, so the entire Qingcheng Volleyball Club is on edge.

Tianhai takes Qingcheng players and students to train, study game data, and play training matches every day.

Regular time always passes very quickly, and it’s the end of November in an instant.

"Ding-ding-ding-"

Tianhai stretched out a hand from the nest he had made with blankets on the sofa and took the phone.

"Hello, dad?"

Tianhai raised his head and forgot to glance at the clock in the living room - it is now ten o'clock in the morning, which means it is ten o'clock in the evening in the United States. Why is dad calling me at this time?

"Xiaoshu, is it convenient now?" His father's voice was smiling, as if he was about to say something happy.

"Dad, I'm free. Just tell me if you have anything to do -"

Mari's voice came from not far away from her father: "I also want to say a few words to Xiaoshu!"

"You call Xiaoshu every day. Let me say it first! Ahem... Xiaoshu, do you remember Coach Huo Shaohu Taro who came to the United States for exchange and study before? "

Tianhai tilted his head.

'Fire the coach? He seems to be a friend who has been working with my father for more than half a year. Also played with him. '

"I remember Dad, has he returned to Japan now?" Dad would not mention this coach for no reason, there should be something going on.

Lucas scratched his hair on the other side of the ocean in the United States, "When I contacted him not long ago, he learned that you were now a coach in Japan, so he asked me to convey his invitation on his behalf.

He is now the All-Japan Men's Youth Representative The head coach of the team invites you to be an assistant coach for the upcoming youth intensive camp. "

Intensive youth camp invites you to be an assistant coach?"

Tianhai blinked-how is that possible?

Although you can see more players there, if you just watch it by yourself, it is better to take more students to do some training.

"No, thank you, Dad. You know, the recent training with students in Qingcheng has left me too busy."

Lucas said nothing more about Tianhai's rejection. The two chatted a few more words about their daily life, and then Tianhai hung up the phone.

"Ashu! Is it okay to refuse this?"

Shiyi felt very curious - after all, Tianhai likes to get to know different students the most, wouldn't it be a pity to miss this opportunity?

Tianhai was very determined:

"No problem, the top priority now is the team members in Qingcheng and his students. Even if I don't go, nothing will happen."

...

American Tianhai family.

After preparing some fruits, Mari walked out of the kitchen and saw that the call between father and son had ended.

"Hey! I said I wanted to chat with Xiaoshu!"

She slapped away Lucas' hand that wanted to put his arm around her waist.

Lucas shrugged, "Mari, Xiaoshu declined Coach Huoshao's invitation. But I bet he will call me again.

When we call, maybe you will see Xiaoshu's rare guilty attitude——"

"He refused to become a teaching assistant? Well, I think he will regret it too." It

was indeed interesting to talk to the guilty version of Tian Haishu, and she decided to temporarily forgive her husband who was sitting at the desk and grinning evilly.

------------------------

Aoba Jonishi Volleyball Hall the next day

"Good news!——"

Coach Irihata's cheers penetrated the wall, and from the coach The room spread to the volleyball court.

Everyone in training couldn't help but stop what they were doing and stared at Coach Irahata who was running over, waving a fax in his hand.

He ran in front of everyone.

Zhonghe, who was the most curious, and Coach Mizoguchi, who was closest to the coaching room, put their heads in front of the fax.

"Ah!!!!"

Oikawa watched the two people staring at him excitedly, and he had some guesses in his mind: "Why are you looking at me like this? Could it be that this good thing has something to do with me?"

The next second:

"Oikawa! - You Recruited to participate in the All-Japan Intensive Youth Camp!"

Chukaku rushed over and put his arms around Oikawa's neck, and Maebashi danced a pas de deux with Touji.

"Ahhhhh-"

Iwaizumi also excitedly high-fived Hanamaki beside him, and Ueda and Kusukawa reached out to wipe away their moved tears.

Qingcheng fell into a carnival.

"Dang..." The water glass in Tianhai's hand fell to the ground.

All over Japan! Intensify your stay! Oikawa! Recruitment!

Several big characters echoed in Tianhai's mind, and he now wondered if he couldn't understand Japanese.

Haha, how could I hear such a familiar word again in just 24 hours? It must be because I don’t know Japanese.

Tianhai, who saw the fax with his own eyes, was relieved. In his mind right now, he was feeling the ecstasy of Oikawa being chosen, and the embarrassment of rejecting his father last night.

What did he say to Shi Yi?

"Even if I don't go, nothing will happen to me." He

really set a flag...

He raised his hand weakly: "Actually, I also received an invitation to the all-Japan intensive camp."

The excited people in Qingcheng stopped celebrating and looked at Coach Tianhai who covered his face with his hands,

"Coach Huo Shao, the head coach of the Japanese youth team, is an old acquaintance of my father and has seen me play. I learned that I came to Japan. Then he invited me to participate in this camp as his assistant coach."

Coach Irihata took two steps quickly and held Tianhai's hand: "It's great to be an assistant coach! This way, two of us from Qingcheng can participate!"

He didn't think so ! It was because of "old acquaintance" that Coach Huoshao invited Tianhai

- a person who can become the head coach of the Japanese youth team is not stupid. There are no ways to take care of the son of a friend.

Even because Tianhai is an American nationality, the other party will only consider it more rigorously before sending out this invitation.

"But I refused..."

Tianhai's voice was as low as a mosquito's cry.

Now it was Coach Irihata's turn to drop the water glass in his hand.

--------------------------

"Hey, Dad..."

Tianhai's voice perfectly interprets the word "guilty".

In the training ground, the surrounding students sat in a circle, and he sat in the middle.

After arriving at the training ground today, Ushijima told him that he would not be able to come to train for a while.

When I asked why, by coincidence, it was also because of the invitation to stay together.

Originally, the reason why Tianhai refused was because he wanted to do more for Qingcheng and his students. Unexpectedly, people from Qingcheng were also selected, and student Ushijima was also selected.

Moreover, everyone in Aoba City and his other students strongly supported him to become a teaching assistant.

"Dad...did you reject the invitation I mentioned yesterday...I thought about it, maybe it would be better to attend..."

Lucas and Mari on the opposite side Holding each other, laughing almost crazy.

They didn't expect Xiaoshu's apology call to come so soon, and he felt just right guilty

- especially like the kind of dog that accidentally does bad things, winks, and doesn't dare to look at people.

"Ahem, the time you asked is just right. I haven't replied to Coach Huo Shao yet. However, are you sure you want to participate and won't you change?" They

continued to laugh, worrying that Tian Hai would be furious, and then the two of them became serious.

"Participate!! Thank you, Mom and Dad!" Tianhai felt relieved and hung up the phone.

The praise Xiangyang had been holding back for a long time poured out the moment Tianhai hung up the phone.

"Oikawa-senpai! Ushijima-senpai! You are really amazing!! This is all Japan, all Japan!"

He didn't dare to think that he would be drafted when he was a freshman in high school. He would be such a happy attacker.

The five-color workers on the side were different, so he dared to think.

"Beating Ushijima-senpai means that I can also join the youth team..."

Thinking this, small sparks flashed in his eyes, and flames seemed to rise behind his back.

"Ushijima-senpai! I will defeat Yours!"

Tianhai noticed that something was wrong with Iwaizumi's expression.

After all, both Oikawa and Ushijima of the same generation were chosen. It feels really uncomfortable to feel like I have been left behind.

"Xiaoyan, it's really difficult to be selected in the first year of high school. If we work hard together, maybe we can do it by the second year of high school!"

The little bit of disappointment in Iwaizumi's heart was pointed out, but it disappeared.

"Well! I will be elected next year too!"

He will catch up!

"Come on, Xiaoyan! But let Oikawa-sama lead Aoba Castle West to victory, wow...ah!"

Oikawa covered his leg that was slapped hard by Iwaizumi, with tears in his eyes,

"Xiaoyan is a strange orangutan! Coach Huo Shao is just worried that you will tear down their venue if you are too strong!” “Teacher,

you have to celebrate anyway!”

“I eat dandan noodles.”

——"

Tokyo Train Station

"Hey, hey, hey...it's a small sleepover, no problem."

Oikawa stood on the platform. Here, looking at the crowded station, I put down my lofty ideals.

"Oikawa, stop talking. Come and look at the map for me."

Tianhai held the map drawn by Coach Washiuchi in his hand and carefully identified it - as to why it was drawn by Coach Washiuchi.

After this duplicitous old man learned that Oikawa and Tianhai would go to stay together, he asked Ushijima to bring a marked map.

"Attention - start from the west at the station entrance. Take two intersections and head north (don't tell me you don't know where north is)"

"Don't buy the commemorative shirt at the Stadium Station, it's fake. If you are deceived like a three-year-old child Just don’t say you’re from Miyagi.”

The label on this map is somewhat ironic. And he’s not originally from Miyagi! The twists and turns are too difficult for him as a foreigner.

After circling for an hour and returning to the starting point, Ushijima took the map from Tenkai's hand.

...

Twenty minutes later,

at the entrance of Ajinomoto Gymnasium

, "Finally found it!" Amami and Oikawa exclaimed, otherwise they would have lost their way and made their debut in the Gap Hall.

Ushijima folded the map and put it in his pocket with a normal expression.

Oikawa couldn't help but complain: "Only a weird kid like Ushijima can understand this map."

- What does "there are only two directions, northeast and southwest, you won't be an idiot if you choose the wrong one", this Is it a serious map?

"Why did you follow Xiangyang and learn to use weird children as a derogatory term? This is a compliment!" Tianhai helplessly held his forehead.

"Let's go report first, don't be late."
