The host is really working hard.
Chapter 41 Prince of Tennis 40
That night, the chirping of summer cicadas tells of the heat of the night, and the silence cannot drive away the noise.
Zizhou had just finished taking a shower and was drying his hair when he picked up the phone on the table, which showed there was a missed call.
It turned out to be Senior Tanejima who called. Come to think of it, I haven't spoken to him for a long time since the national competition started.
Toot-
The call was connected immediately.
"Hello, Zizhou?"
"It's me, Tanejima-senpai. I was taking a shower just now and just saw your call."
"It's okay. Do you have time this weekend? I happen to be on vacation and want to go eat the hot pot we had the other day, but I don't really understand it, so I thought of inviting you to go with me."
What Zhongdao said sounded very reasonable, but only he himself knew that he had no idea how long he had been preparing to be alone with Zizhou, and he rarely rode the Segway to play tricks on others.
But Zizhou thought of the agreement he had made with King Ren that day.
"Well...Senior Taneshima, my teammates and I have an appointment this weekend to study his new special move, so I may not be able to go." Zizhou really wanted to go, but Niou's matters were more important.
Zhongdao was feeling a little depressed. He finally mustered up the courage to invite him, but he found out that the other party already had an appointment.
But Zhongdao still held out a glimmer of hope, so he asked, "Is Zizhou scheduled for the morning, or the afternoon? Or the whole day?"
Zhongdao clenched his hands hoping for the answer he wanted. He didn't want to give up such a good opportunity.
"It's morning."
"Then can we make an appointment in the afternoon, or I can help you take a look. If you have any questions, I might be able to help." The impatient voice tried to resolve the time discrepancy.
"Haha, Tanejima-senpai."
Zizhou called Zhongdao with amusement, and if you listened carefully you could hear the doting in his tone.
"Zizhou, I rarely have a day off, and I really want to eat hotpot with you."
"Okay, let's go together that day. It's been a while since I played basketball with my seniors."
The two people who had agreed to meet said good night to each other and hung up the phone.
The scorched rice fruit that could be seen clearly on the side was lying on its small tatami, and its lazy voice revealed gossip.
"Host, this island is different in its kindness to you. It doesn't mean it likes you."
Zizhou flicked its head and poked it unhappily.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't think I don't know that you've read a lot of romance novels behind my back. Please stop your imagination."
Zizhou thought Jiao Miguo was joking and didn't think about it too much.
The next day, Zhongdao came directly to Zizhou's house, carrying a tennis bag on his back and wearing a casual sports suit.
Even though his skin tone is a bit dark, his sunny and handsome face is always full of smiles.
"Tanejima-senpai, I didn't expect you to come pick me up. I guess you must have been waiting for a long time."
When going out on the weekend, Zizhou did not continue to wear the Rikkai University uniform, but a light blue sportswear. With a height of 175 cm, the whole person looked refreshing and sunny. The only bad thing was that the bandage on his left hand was not removed, which made him look a little fragile, which directly hit Zhongdao's heart.
"No, our house isn't too far away, so I came here to be with you."
He also did not forget to say hello to the scorched rice cake on Zizhou's shoulder.
"Hello, Jiao Miguo, do you still remember me?"
"Squeak" Remember, you also gave me delicious nuts.
Zhongdao was very happy to see Jiaomiguo’s response. He turned around and took out the pistachios from his bag, grabbed a handful and gave them to Zizhou, and then took a few more for Jiaomiguo.
"This is something my aunt strongly recommended. I've tried it and it's really delicious. You should try it."
Zizhou looked at the extra pistachio in his hand, holding it up with amusement, his eyes shining as if filled with a sea of stars.
"Senior Tanejima, you gave me too much, and it's hard for me to peel it with one hand now."
As if he had succeeded, Zhongdao immediately peeled one and handed it to Zizhou's mouth. The speed was so fast that Zizhou was a little surprised.
But he didn't think much about it, thinking that Senior Zhongdao was more caring, so he followed Zhongdao's wishes and ate the pistachio.
"Alright, Senior, let's go to the tennis club. Niou should be waiting there."
"Okay." Zhongdao was very happy after succeeding. He felt that he and Zizhou had taken a step closer. Zizhou didn't mind such an intimate thing. It seemed that he had a very high position in Zizhou's heart.
So along the way, Zhongdao kept peeling pistachios and Zizhou kept eating them.
Jiao Miguo, on the other hand, was watching with great interest. He discovered that Zhongdao seemed to be a little too nice to his host. Instantly, Jiao Miguo's gossiping spirit burned fiercely, and he silently started to support the couple. He was very optimistic about Zhongdao.
If you want to defeat someone as slow as the host, it seems you will need its assistance.
Zhongdao didn't know that there was a universal assistant who had quietly stood on his side.
The club that Niou had an appointment with was not far from Li Zhou’s home, and it only took about ten minutes to walk there.
"Hey, Zizhou, Tanedo-senpai."
Yagyu on the side also came over and greeted Niou together.
Zizhou had originally told Renwang that he would bring senior Tanejima along, so Renwang and the others were not surprised.
"Xiao Niou, I heard that you developed a new move. I wonder if I can tell you what it is, Senior?"
Taneshima is very optimistic about Niou, who is a bit like him. Not only do they both have silver hair, but they also have the same personality of liking pranks and being cold in nature.
"Pfft, Senior Tanejima, how about a doubles match? Then we'll know everything, right?"
"Double? Senior, I'm very strong, are you sure?" Tanedima looked at Niou jokingly.
Even the usually lazy Niou is still combative and passionate. When he heard Tanedima's words, his determination to win was immediately aroused.
"That depends on how strong you are, Senior. Don't lose too badly."
"Hey, hey, hey, Niou, if it's a doubles match, I won't let you win. It's impossible for you to win against us!" Zizhou would not watch the seniors he brought with him lose.
Yagyu was no longer silent. He crossed his arms over his chest, his glasses reflected light, and the confidence in his tone could not be ignored.
"It's still unclear who will win!"
After making the decision, the four of them started the game on the set-up field. Jiao Miguo was placed on a lounge chair by Zizhou, next to their tennis bag.
Since there aren't many people to serve as referees, we simply don't need to do it. Everyone knows the scores.
Moreover, the purpose of coming here this time is to help Nioh complete the moves. Everyone knows this and does not care about these unnecessary completions.
The first to serve was Niou, and a very fast ball rushed to the opposite court. Zizhou, who was standing in front of the net, reacted quickly and hit the ball back. Tanedima stood behind him, closely watching the movements of both sides.
Just now both sides were testing each other, and Niou also began to release his mental power and began to transform into Yagyu.
Tanejima on the opposite side looked at this sudden transformation in amazement. He rubbed his eyes as if he thought it was an illusion, and found that there were still two Yagyu.
"Oh, this is a good idea. If I were to perform in a play, I would be able to fool the audience."
Zizhou didn't expect Zhongdao to have such a train of thought and almost slipped.
"senior……"
"Sorry, sorry. I will fight hard."
Just when both sides were in a tense situation, Nioh suddenly wrapped his mental power around Yagyu, and Yagyu seemed to be controlled, and almost became in perfect harmony with Nioh.
"This move is really scary, Nioh. Aren't you afraid that your partner will beat you to death in a moment?"
"Senior, please don't say that. This was developed by Liu Sheng and I. This is just one of the results we showed you. It seems to be very successful now."
With the addition of this move, Zizhou and Zhongdao were no longer as relaxed as before. Zizhou did not plan to use the Eye of Truth and his super reflexes, as it was just a practice. If he used them, it would be putting the cart before the horse. Zhongdao was originally careless and intentionally let the opponent catch up with him.
So the score was 5-5.
Nioh also released the control, but Yagyu actually released a trace of mental power, which connected with Nioh's and achieved synchronization.
Snapped--
Zizhou dropped the racket in his hand in shock, his eyes widened in shock. Is it so easy to synchronize now?
Zhongdao's expression was serious. No, his junior brothers were really amazing. Were they trying to shock his worldview? He was not so awesome even in junior high school. Was he too old to keep up with the times?
No matter what, the game must go on.
Until the final score of 6-6, the game was over and both sides' goals had been achieved.
Yagyu's smile was no longer gentlemanly. Niou happily put his arm around his partner's shoulders and danced with joy, which made Zizhou laugh.
"Congratulations, you have finally come to the end of your hard work."
"Thank you, Zizhou. I'll treat you to some ramen." Niwang generously prepared to pay for everyone's meal.
But Zhongdao, who has been waiting for a long time, will not give him a chance.
"Thank you for your kindness, Xiao Renwang, but Zizhou and I have something to do this afternoon, so let's get together next time!"
"Is that so? Then let's get together with Senior Zhongdao next time. Have fun. We'll be leaving first. Bye."
Zhongdao took Zizhou and Jiaomiguo to the hot pot restaurant in Chinatown and began his long-planned time alone together.
