Although football was the most popular sport in Nibutani Morika's original school, it was not popular enough to occupy half of the entire school.
Most of the time, it’s just a few football enthusiasts getting together, playing football in twos and threes.
In such a situation, it is naturally difficult to attract audiences. It is also normal that Nibutani Morika doesn't know much about football.
But in Fengzhizaki, the situation is different.
The football club alone has more than 30 members, and they can form two teams to compete at any time.
Everyone was quite enthusiastic about football. A rough count of the spectators in the stadium alone showed that there were about forty or fifty people.
There were more than thirty members of the football club and forty or fifty spectators. In comparison, it seemed that the audience was still a little scarce.
However, there are only about 800 students in the entire Fengzhiqi, which means that one-tenth of the students in Fengzhiqi are gathered in the stadium.
This is just the football club's training. During the official competition, there will be much more spectators than there are now.
Moreover, Nibutani Morika did not forget that there were still dozens of people crowded at the entrance of the football department!
Chapter 2232 The Lost Watch
Originally, Nibutani Morika was a little curious as to why so many people liked football, and even the position of cheerleader in the football club attracted so many people.
However, as she watched the football club's training, Nibutani Morika suddenly realized that she had unknowingly walked from the edge of the stadium to the grass of the football field.
If there wasn't a part of the grass edge that belonged to the "out-of-bounds" area of the football field, I'm afraid Nibutani Morika would have walked directly into the stadium.
Realizing this, Nibutani Morika hurriedly stepped back a little, but only stopped at the edge of the field.
On the field, the football flew high, attracting the attention of Nibutani Morika.
Yushan Heren took the lead, and just when the football was about to land, he made a handsome volley and shot directly into the goal!
With a "pop" sound, the football fell into the net. On the field, Yushan Heren's team also started celebrating.
Looking at everyone celebrating with laughter and joy, Nibutani Morika somehow felt that her emotions were also aroused.
After the training match, Nibutani Morika couldn't calm down for a long time when she saw the members of the football club returning to the locker room.
Unlike most girls who came to watch the game simply to appreciate the performance of Kazuto Hayama, Nibutani Morika appreciated the smooth cooperation within the team more.
Of course, Kazuto Hayama's dazzling personal performance also attracted the attention of Morika Nibutani.
After the training ended, most of the spectators on the field left.
Only Nibutani Morika did the opposite. She walked to the center of the field involuntarily and carefully observed every tree and blade of grass on the football field.
On the grass, the traces of the ball just kicked were still obvious.
Nibutani Morika couldn't help but squat down and observe silently.
A gust of wind blew, making the bangs a little eye-catching. Nibutani Morika couldn't help but look up and gently stroked her bangs, but she saw a shiny object not far away.
I walked closer and took a closer look, and found out it was a sports watch.
I guess someone dropped it accidentally during training just now.
Looking at the sports watch in front of her, Nibutani Morika was a little hesitant about whether to pick it up.
After thinking about it, she decided to wait and see. If no one came back to look for it, she would pick up the watch and hand it in to the Academic Affairs Office.
After waiting for a few minutes, I looked at the time and it was already half past five.
Originally, Nibutani Morika was about to leave, but in the distance, in the direction of the locker room, a figure appeared.
Yushan Kazuto walked out of the locker room and trotted to the playground, looking around as if he was looking for something.
Looking at Yushan Kazuto's actions, Nibutani Morika immediately guessed that it might be the other party who lost the sports watch.
He hadn't noticed it at first, but when he was taking a shower, Yushan Kazuto was about to take off his watch, but he found that the watch on his wrist was missing.
Only then did Yushan Kazuto realize that he had lost his sports watch while playing football.
Although a sports watch is not a precious thing to Yushan Kazuto, this sports watch was calibrated by Yushan Kazuto himself.
After losing it, it would be troublesome to replace it with a new one and recalibrate it. Yushan and others thought that they should go back to the playground to look for it first.
On the playground, Kazuto Hayama also noticed the presence of Nibutani Morika.
When they were playing a training match before, Yushan and Ren saw each other.
After all, with Nibutani Morika's outstanding appearance, it is difficult not to be noticed.
Seeing the other party staying on the playground, Yushan Heren couldn't help but look at each other a few more times.
There are very few students like Nibutani Morika who stay on the playground after the training is over.
However, Yushan Heren just glanced at her for a few times and had no intention of going up to chat with her. Looking at the place where Nibutani Morika was standing, he deliberately avoided her.
After all, it doesn't seem appropriate to crouch down and walk around next to a girl.
Looking at Yushan Kazuto's actions, Nibutani Morika couldn't help but blink slightly. She didn't expect that the other party was quite gentlemanly.
"Senior Yu, Yushan. Are you looking for this?" After thinking for a while, Nibutani Morika picked up the watch from the ground and spoke.
"Hey, it fell here." Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly and said.
I originally wanted to avoid Nibutani Morika, but I didn't expect that she would help me find the watch. Now I can't avoid her even if I want to.
"Just after your training ended, I saw a shiny object on the playground, so I came over to take a look." said Nibutani Morika.
"I see. Thank you very much, classmate." Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but smile and took the sports watch from Nibutani Morika.
Upon closer inspection, I found that the watch strap was broken. No wonder the watch fell off while he was kicking the ball.
However, Yushan and others were so focused on training at that time that they did not notice that their watch was left behind. They only found it after returning to the locker room.
"You're welcome. Even if I'm not here, you, Senior Yushan, will definitely be able to find it when you come looking for it." Nibutani Morika shook her head.
Watches are relatively large in size, so they are relatively easy to find.
If Nibutani Morika hadn't been standing right next to the watch, making Yushan Kazuto feel a little embarrassed to touch it, Yushan Kazuto would have seen it at the first sight.
"Thank you very much anyway."
Yushan and Ren laughed.
"But how do you know my name? Have we met before?" After looking at Nibutani Morika, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly and said.
"During the opening ceremony, I saw you, senior Kazuto, go on stage to receive scholarships three times, and I remembered it." Nibutani Morika said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Yushan Heren felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that the other party knew him in this way.
"So, you are the new transfer student this semester?" asked Kazuto Yushan.
Nibutani Morika responded and nodded.
Yushan Kazuto also nodded. No wonder he had no impression of the other person. It turned out that he was a transfer student who just arrived this semester.
"No wonder, I was wondering why I had no impression of such a cute junior schoolmate." Yushan Kazuto also smiled.
Hearing the praise from Yushan Kazuto, Nibutani Morika couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
In fact, what Yushan Kazuto said just now was a little bit without boundaries, but Nibutani Morika felt very comfortable, as if bathed in spring breeze.
"Senior Kazuto, you're too kind." Nibutani Morika said with her head down.
"By the way, junior sister, you helped me find my watch, but I don't even know your name. It's really a bit rude of me." Yushan Heren said as he silently put the watch into his trouser pocket.
"My name is Nibutani Morika, you can just call me Nibutani, Senior Yushan."
Chapter 2233: Not considered strenuous exercise
"Nibutani-san? This last name is quite rare." Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but laugh.
"It's not common." Nibutani Morika said in a low voice.
"From childhood to adulthood, I seem to have never seen anyone with the same surname as my family except ours." After thinking about it, Nibutani Morika couldn't help but laugh.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink. Rikka Takanashi's surname was also very rare. It seemed that several people he knew from Fukui all had the surname Saiyu.
"Anyway, thank you for helping me find the watch, Nibutani-san." Thinking of this, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but smile and thanked him again.
"Senior Yushan, you don't have to be so polite." Yushan and others thanked him several times in a row, which made Nibutani Morika feel a little embarrassed.
Looking at Nibutani Morika's expression, Yushan Kazuto finally reacted.
I'm usually not used to people thanking me repeatedly, but now I made the same mistake.
"How about this, Nibutani-san, I'll buy you a drink."
Although Nibutani Morika thought that he did not help much, Yushan Kazuto felt that he still needed to be grateful to the other party.
"No, Senior Kazuto, I can't drink beverages." Nibutani Morika quickly refused.
Drinks and the like are the natural enemies of your body.
In addition to regular dancing and exercise, diet is also an important factor in Nibutani Morika's current figure.
"It's okay, there are sugar-free and low-calorie varieties." Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but scratch his head.
Honestly speaking, the best option right now is to treat Nibutani Morika to dinner.
However, this was just the first time that I met Nibutani Morika, so it would not be appropriate to invite her to dinner.
Moreover, there were other people at Yushan's house, and bringing Nibutani Morika home for dinner rashly might easily cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Well... okay then." After thinking about it, Nibutani Morika agreed.
However, she also silently made up her mind that she must practice dancing for an extra hour after returning home in the evening to make sure to digest the calories in the drink.
Seeing that Nibutani Morika agreed, Yushan Kazuto smiled and led the other party to the vending machine beside the playground.
“This yogurt tastes good and is low in calories.”
Because it was already evening, many items in the vending machines had been sold out. After looking carefully, Yushan Kazuto finally found a suitable drink.
"Then let's do this." Nibutani Morika nodded.
……
"what about the taste?"
Seeing Nibutani Morika frowning, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink. Could it be that the yogurt he recommended was a failure?
"Not bad, with a strong milky flavor, but it's a little cold." Nibutani Morika blinked slightly and said.
The sourness of this yogurt was a little beyond her imagination, but the taste and texture were very good.
"Then take it home and taste it when it's not so cold anymore." Yushan Heren said.
After thinking about it, Nibutani Morika had no choice but to nod. It was already so sour, and with the cold taste, Nibutani Morika felt like his teeth were about to fall out from the sourness.
On the other side, Yushan Kazuto opened a can of Coke and drank it all in one gulp.
Looking at Yushan Kazuto's somewhat heroic movements, Nibutani Morika couldn't help but blink. Isn't it said that athletes can't drink carbonated drinks?
"Senior Yushan, it's not suitable to drink carbonated drinks after strenuous exercise, right?" After thinking for a while, Nibutani Morika said.
After exercise, the body's overall pH is acidic, and the pH of carbonated drinks is also acidic.
A low pH value can easily slow down the body's recovery and affect exercise status.
Moreover, drinking large amounts of carbonated beverages can also cause problems in bone development.
Both of these are extremely fatal to athletes.
"Oh! It's okay, this is not considered strenuous exercise." Upon hearing this, Yushan Heren spoke.
In fact, the training match couldn't be easier for Yushan Kazuto.
To exaggerate a little, given the intensity of the exercise just now, Yushan Kazuto didn't even sweat.
In this case, it would be okay for Yushan and others to drink a bottle or two of carbonated drinks.
After all, although Yushan Kazuto likes to drink carbonated drinks, he is not the type who drinks carbonated drinks like water.
Normally, I only drink one or two bottles a week.
Listening to what Yushan Kazuto said, Nibutani Morika couldn't help but be a little surprised. Just now, Yushan Kazuto was running back and forth on the court, and his figure could be seen by almost the entire court. But in Yushan Kazuto's words, that was not considered strenuous exercise.
"It's getting late, we should go back." After taking a look at the time, he realized that it was already five forty-five. Yushan Heren then spoke.
Nibutani Morika also reacted immediately. She was originally just planning to come to the playground to watch the training. According to her plan, she would watch for half an hour at most and then go home.
