"Want to learn?" Chen Xiao wrapped his arms around her from behind, placing his hands on the back of her trembling hands. "I can teach you more... for example..."
"Like what?"
"Physiological baseball".
Akane blinked, her cheeks slightly flushed, and tilted her head in confusion: "Physiological baseball... what is that?"
Chen Xiao chuckled softly, his voice possessing a seductive magnetism: "It's just that... my 'hitting' technique is also very strong, and I'd like to personally instruct you on 'double-color ball' (a lottery game)."
His fingertips lightly brushed across her wrist, causing Nanao Akane to tremble.
"Ah...okay, okay!" Although she didn't fully understand, she was captivated by Chen Xiao's smile and only knew that she was happy that he could join the baseball team.
Just then, Chen Xiao suddenly grabbed her hand and knelt down on one knee in front of everyone.
"Nanao Akane." His voice wasn't loud, but it instantly silenced the entire baseball stadium. "I like you. Be my girlfriend."
"Wow—!!!" The surrounding team members instantly erupted in discussion.
Akane Nanao froze, her face turning red at a visible speed.
She was already captivated by Chen Xiao, and stammered, "I...I...I do!"
"No !!!!"
A roar erupted from the crowd, and Katase Sho rushed out, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Chen Xiao.
"Chen Xiao! You only joined the baseball team to pick up girls, didn't you?! You're insulting baseball!" He pointed angrily at Chen Xiao, his voice trembling.
Chen Xiao slowly stood up, a contemptuous smile curving his lips: "Insulting baseball? No, my dream is to lead Chiba Soubu High School to Koshien."
"Ha! You think you can beat me?" Katase Shoya sneered. "If you're so capable, let's have a match! If you lose, get out of the baseball club!"
Chen Xiao's eyes instantly turned cold. He casually picked up a baseball bat and said indifferently, "Okay, what kind of game are we playing?"
“A pitching and batting duel! I’ll pitch, you hit, and the winner will be decided in three pitches!” Katase Shoya said through gritted teeth.
Game start.
On the first pitch, Katase Shoya threw a high-speed fastball with all his might—
"boom!!!"
Chen Xiao didn't even look, casually swung the ball, and it flew over the 0.4-point mark, hitting the teaching building in the distance.
The whole place was dead silent.
On the second pitch, Katase Shoya, sweat beading on his forehead, threw a breaking ball—
"boom!!!"
Chen Xiao still hit the ball easily, and it even went straight through the barbed wire in the distance.
Katase Shoya's hands were trembling.
He threw the third ball with almost all his remaining strength—
"Snapped!!!"
This time, Chen Xiao didn't swing the bat; instead, he caught the ball with one hand, and then...
"Crack!"
The ball was crushed in his palm.
"..." Katase Sho also collapsed to the ground, his face pale.
Chen Xiao looked down at him and sneered, "Now, who is the one who insulted baseball?"
Akane Nanao stood to the side, her eyes shining with adoration. She had never seen such a powerful man, and her heart was pounding so hard she could hardly breathe.
After school.
“Chen Xiaojun…you are really amazing…” Qiwei Qian blushed and followed behind him, her voice barely audible.
Chen Xiao turned around and gently stroked her cheek: "There's something even more amazing, want to try it?"
"Huh?" Before she could react, Chen Xiao pulled her into his arms.
“Let’s go, let’s go for ‘special training’.” He chuckled and put his arm around her as they walked toward a nearby hotel.
Although Akane was shy, she was completely won over by Chen Xiao and nodded obediently: "Um...please, please take care of me..."
P.S.: I'll write about Thunder and Fire first, and then I'll write about the long-form anime and hentai anime after that. Writing long-form anime is hard work and thankless, and it also consumes a lot of brain cells.
Chapter Ninety: Mrs. Mira's Family and Chen Xiao's Past
Inside the presidential suite, Chen Xiao and Nanao Akane's figures intertwined.
[Ding—System Notification]

[Reward Unlocked: Kuroko's Basketball - Perfect Imitation (Can copy any sporting skill observed)]
[Current Affection Level: 200% (Pathological Attachment State)]
And so, Chen Xiao and Qiwei Qian happily spent their days together.
On the baseball team's practice field, screams from the girls echoed throughout. Yui Yuigahama cheered excitedly for Chen Xiao! Yumiko Miura, on the other hand, looked at Akane Nanao with envy.
A gentle breeze blew as Yukinoshita rested her hands on the railing, with Hiratsuka Shizuka standing beside her. "Shizuka, you know Chen Xiao is so charming, how come he can't win you over?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka snorted coldly, "Do you think everyone is as easily attracted to Chen Xiao as you are?"
"Actually, you've also been attracted to Chen Xiao, but he hasn't spent much time with you, otherwise you would definitely be like me." Yukino Yukino stared at Chen Xiao on the court, recalling her experience with Chen Xiao on the train, and felt a little nostalgic.
The girls from the school were packed into the stands, their eyes burning as they followed Chen Xiao's every move. Every swing of his bat and every run he made drew a frenzy of cheers.
Nanao Akane stood on the sidelines, holding a notebook in her hands, her cheeks slightly flushed. Whenever Chen Xiao looked at her, she would shyly lower her head, but she couldn't hide the smile on her lips.
"Qian, come here." Chen Xiao beckoned to her with his finger.
Nanao Akane jogged over, and Chen Xiao reached out and ruffled her hair, chuckling softly, "Training's over for today. Where do you want to go tonight?"
"I...I can do anything..." she answered softly, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.
Chen Xiao chuckled and leaned down to whisper in her ear, "Then... to a hotel?"
Akane Nanao's face instantly turned red, but she still nodded slightly.
—21— However, beneath the surface of happiness, undercurrents were surging.
Director Higashika stood in the shadows, his eyes fixed on Akane Nanao's back with a sinister gaze.
"A girl from an ordinary family... what right does she have to monopolize Chen Xiao? A woman like you is the easiest to bully, Chen Xiao definitely wouldn't even look at you!" He licked his chapped lips, a greedy glint in his eyes, he had already devised a plan.
A few days later, Coach Higashika called Akane Nanao to the equipment room alone under the pretext of "discussing the match arrangements".
The moment the door closed, Akane Nanao sensed something was wrong.
"Nanao-kun," Higashika's voice carried an unsettling chuckle, "you should know that Chen Xiao needs a coach's recommendation to participate in official competitions, right?"
Akane Nanao gripped the notebook tightly, barely managing to maintain her composure: "Y-yes..."
Donggang approached step by step, his heavy breath hitting her face: "So, do you know... what to do?"
Akane Nanao suddenly looked up, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a resolute expression.
"I... refuse." Her voice was soft, yet incredibly clear. "My body and soul... belong to Chen Xiaojun."
Donggang's face instantly darkened.
"You'll regret it if you don't listen to reason!" He suddenly tried to grab her wrist, moving closer step by step, but Nanao Akane quickly dodged.
The man roared, "You think Chen Xiao really cares about you? He's just playing around. He has so many girlfriends!"
Akane Nanao struggled, her eyes reddening, but her gaze was unusually stubborn: "Even so... I belong only to him!"
Donggang grinned maliciously, "But things are different now! Because I want to possess you!"
"boom!!!"
The door to the equipment room was kicked open with tremendous force.
Donggang froze.
Backlit, Chen Xiao's figure slowly emerged, his eyes as cold as ice from the abyss.
“Director Higashioka,” his voice was soft, almost gentle, “what…did you just try to do to my Akane?”
Donggang's face turned deathly pale instantly.
"Chen... Chen Xiao?! What are you doing here?!"
Chen Xiao did not answer, but simply strode forward, each step feeling like he was stepping on Dong Gang's heart, stomping wildly, like a demon.
Akane Nanao's tears finally fell, and she cried out in a trembling voice, "Chen Xiaojun..."
Chen Xiao's gaze fell on her, and he hugged Nana Akane in his arms, his cold expression softening slightly: "Akane, close your eyes."
Akane bit her lip, but still obediently did as she was told.
The next second—
"Crack!"
The sound of bones cracking rang out, exceptionally clear in the silent equipment room.
Before Donggang could even let out a scream, his neck twisted at a bizarre angle, his eyes widened, and his body slowly slid to the ground. The death line on his body was severed instantly, and his body visibly turned into blood. Only his eyes remained in the thick blood, filled with endless terror.
Chen Xiao withdrew his hand, his eyes indifferent, as if he had merely crushed an ant.
He turned and walked towards Akane Nanao, gently pulling her into his arms.
"It's alright," he whispered reassuringly, gently wiping away her tears with his fingers.
Nanao Akane opened her eyes and saw Higashioka's corpse on the ground, but she felt no fear. She looked up at Chen Xiao, her eyes filled with dependence and infatuation.
"Chen Xiaojun...did you kill him...because of me?"
Chen Xiao chuckled, his fingertips tracing her lips: "I've said it before, anyone who hurts you, I will make them disappear."
"Why are you so nice to me?"
"There's no other way. Only someone who makes a firm choice deserves my kindness. And let me tell you, I was in the shadows the whole time. I don't want my woman to be a stupid fool who would fall for this idiot's tricks."
