"Net King" is not just a good friend

Chapter18. Aoyama Nanae (あおやまななえAoyamaNanae)

To you "who have become adults":

It was a young, fruitless love affair.At that time, I cried all day long, hating the world so much, I seemed to have used up all the hatred in my life. - Nanae Aoyama

Well, no matter the time, a scheduled parting is always harder than a sudden parting. (Reality)

The initial impression of Nioh Masaharu was all because of one person, not a girl who was thinking carefully during school breaks.

There is no one who can't help but find out. To the reality at that time, this name was as common as a certain name spoken by the principal of the auditorium at a regular meeting, and it would not cause throbbing at the moment it was pronounced.

If you hear it too much, you will remember it, and if you have heard it, you will forget it.

Compared with 'Nio Masaharu', the name Kuwahara is more affectionate. After all, he is the partner of the middle school buddy Marui Bunta, not him.

In this way, Mrs. Wen, who has long been used to sitting next to her, will talk about every candidate in the tennis club, including their grades and personalities, even if she has not met each candidate, but she is not unfamiliar. .

In addition, Kirihara Chiya, who had a good relationship with Bunta, ran to their senior classrooms all day long, always planning a seamless scam to bring down Masaharu Nioh, who was said to be playing around with the two of them.

From the daily commotion around me, no matter whether it is good or bad information, I even doubted whether the person who was discussed by them and eager to succeed in the assassination had any special skills, otherwise why would I take the trouble to formulate a plan? After another plan, it still ended in failure.

Occasionally, for one second, they are actually reading comics in their seats, but in the next second, they are forcibly drawn into a duo of idiots to discuss the details of tricky schemes or to tout their schemes for no reason.

Therefore, after the first semester of the second year of junior high school, I still can't imagine what kind of existence Nioh Masaharu is. There is no fate to know him on any occasion.

Perhaps because of this, once there are signs of intruders in the surrounding environment, the sensitivity will be infinitely magnified in an instant, and the epitome of the first acquaintance will become a scene that will never be forgotten in a lifetime.

In fact, looking out the window in the afternoon, the leaves are still sunny, and it has not changed.

'Crackling' vaguely heard the sound of the door being opened, accompanied by a clear and familiar voice, "Xiao Shi, why are you in a daze, I yelled at the door a few times and you didn't answer."

Before turning his head, his head was rubbed a few times, and he raised his head. As expected, it was Ryoichi Takeuchi whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

His eyes gradually recovered, "Brother." Even though his parents no longer saw each other often after their divorce, Takeuchi Ryoichi was his brother who had a blood relationship with him and grew up together, and he immediately captured her emotions sensitively.

"Huh? Xiaoshi is not happy?" Takeuchi Ryoichi squatted down and looked up at his sister who seemed to have changed quietly in the time he didn't know.

Shishi shook his head, lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while, before he said, "Brother...you told me before that you have to learn to face it...but," when he said this, he raised his head and looked at Ryoichi Takeuchi's eyes, as if receiving It's important to come down to the answer, "What if... I'm scared?"

Ryoichi Takeuchi seemed to have anticipated his own problems early in the morning, smiled and said nothing, and only opened his mouth after a while, "Xiao Shi." It was rare for Ryoichi Takeuchi to talk to himself in such a serious tone, "When you are scared, you are sad When you are indecisive, don’t force yourself. You may not understand it when I say this, but I know that you are experiencing something amazing to you right now. Such an opportunity is not for everyone There will be, or in other words, you may never have it again in your life."

Seeing his own doubts, Takeuchi Ryoichi continued, "You just need to follow your own heart. Even if you do nothing, you don't have to worry too much. Maybe after this period of time, you will know what you are afraid of. what."

Takeuchi Ryoichi didn't know when he left, but he kept his original sitting posture motionless, sitting in front of the window sill desk, the time went from the sunlight shining into the window sill to the point where the wood grain on the table became more obvious, to the point where no light could penetrate. When the night came, the star lights lit up outside the window.

For such a long period of time, there was only one scene in front of him that was constantly rewinding and repeating.

At that time, I was very sensitive to the fact that the relationship between my parents at home continued to become stiff and cold. I thought it was a normal daily quarrel in the past, but I didn't expect that it meant the end.

The feeling of powerlessness for many consecutive days made me manic and extremely sensitive, so after the quarrel with Nioh Masaharu, I said exhaustedly, "I'm so tired, I don't want to argue with you anymore because of this issue, let me first back home."

An ordinary sentence, but unexpectedly evolved into a real parting speech.

Even if they don't disappear into each other's lives after saying this sentence, maybe they won't feel powerless when they meet again.

***

At the end of a match, both Yuji Ninzu and Masaharu Nioh collapsed on their respective courts, sweating profusely and panting.

None of the people watching the match outside the field made a sound, and no one stepped forward to help the two people who had already lost their strength. Even the person in charge of the referee's bench didn't know what to say, because the match was still going on. There is no result, only the unceasing wireless balance.

"It was a wonderful game." Yukimura Seichi praised with a smile.

"Tch." Keigo Atobe expressed his opinion, "I'm afraid this is not a simple friendly match, let's go, Huadi." After speaking, he went to another venue first.

When the two gradually regained their strength and stood up, the field was empty, and the referee had already gone to another game to start scoring.

Nioh Masaharu packed his ball equipment and was patted on the shoulder suddenly, a piece of paper fell on his ball bag with a string of numbers written on it, and then turned around, only to see Ninozu Yuji carrying the ball bag away go figure.

***

Pushing open the glass door and walking into the restaurant filled with warm yellow lights, the teenagers who occupy a corner of the restaurant but are the focus of the audience are eating hamburgers and Coke like no one else around.

I received a text message before dinner, no one had made a note, but the sender's number was still pulled out from distant memory,

The text message contained a concise address and a short sentence "No matter what, I will wait for you here."

As soon as you walk into the restaurant, you can see Masaharu Nioh sitting alone at a table. He is not discussing the friendly match that just ended with his teammates. It seems that the surrounding emotions have nothing to do with him.

Marui Bunta saw Shi and wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Yukimura Seichi who was sitting aside, the meaning is self-evident.

When he walked up to Masaharu Nio's table, he looked like he had gone through an exhausting game, exhausted and fragile.

The two people they were most familiar with were sitting in the dining room, drinking the orange juice that was ordered for her on the table, and no one spoke first to break the silence.

King Ni looked at the girl in front of him. In just a few months, her baby fat had faded, and she had grown into a real girl. Even though her long hair was no longer there, her short hair further outlined her coldness from before. Feeling, less cute and childish at the beginning, but more fascinated by myself, once the eyes under the slender eyelashes look at you, once you fall into it, you will be willing to drown even if you fall into it.

It's just that there is no silly smile and sly cunning in the eyes looking at him, and even his favorite enthusiasm is no longer in the round eyes that would stare when she is angry.

"How are you doing?" The voice was hoarse after excessive physical exertion, and trembling imperceptibly.

It's a very old-fashioned greeting, but it can also give the answer he wants.

I really didn't expect King Ren to ask such a question. After a pause, he nodded slowly, "Yes." After hesitating for a moment, he asked back, "What about you?"

King Ren looked at her with a wry smile, "I hope I can live well." After speaking, he stared at her intently, as if he wanted to see through the depths of her heart.

When Nioh said this, Shi was at a loss for words, "I also hope you can live well."

"I'm sorry." King Ni apologized suddenly, "I didn't know the situation of your family at that time, and it was my fault that I didn't realize your mood earlier."

"It's all over, and I've come out." Shi explained the result flatly, saving the pain in the middle.

Hearing this answer, King Ni's eyes darkened instantly, helplessness grew wildly like weeds, and spread wantonly like sea water.

Yes, it's all over, whether it's the harm caused to her by her parents' divorce, or everything he has with her, she has also come out, out of the shadow of her parents' divorce, but also out of his world, gradually Far away, I no longer remember the return route, and I don't want to look back.

"There is still a doubles match tomorrow, and we will leave tomorrow afternoon." After finishing speaking, King Ni stood up, a little flustered and anxious, "It's too late, you should go home early."

Shi Shi followed and stood up, turned around to leave but turned around again, Nioh was a little surprised, "I wish you all the best for tomorrow's game."

King Ni didn't answer any more, and didn't really expect to get an answer, so he left.

***

As the tennis ball fell on one court, the friendly match between Ice Emperor and Li Haida officially came to an end.

The two teams bowed to express their gratitude. The Ice Emperor's main candidates watched the Lihai University's main candidates leave the field and walked out of the stadium. Keigo Atobe caught a glimpse of a figure outside the stadium, "Why, why don't you chase after it?"

A question without a title, but when the Ice Emperor's candidates caught a glimpse of who that figure was, they all knew who they were talking to.

"A good formal farewell is also very important." The deep and hoarse Kansai accent sounded like a winning ticket.

Atobe snorted coldly with disdain, "Then can we start the internal practice match immediately?"

The other members of Ice Emperor were all holding back their laughter after hearing this sentence, and only burst out laughing when they saw Yuji Ninzu leaving the venue without haste and with an obvious destination.

Nioh Masaharu was a little surprised that Shishi would appear here, including the other candidates of Lihai University, they all walked forward tacitly, and the rest Nioh Masaharu and Shishi walked slowly behind.

On the weekend after the sports meeting, the school was quiet again, and the rustling of fallen leaves on the school road could be heard clearly.

"Thank you for coming to see us off." Masaharu Nioh looked sideways and said truthfully.

Shi Shi pursed his lips and smiled, the smile that reached the bottom of his eyes was very sincere, but it no longer had the warmth that belonged to him.

No matter how big Ice Emperor is, no matter how far the journey is, there will be an end. Everyone else got on the bus, and Nio unnaturally grasped the strap of the ball bag without anyone noticing his emotions, "Sushi."

Really waited for what he had to say, "Thank you, I'm very happy." After speaking, he quickly turned around and boarded the bus without looking back.

Thank you for sending me this journey as an old friend, thank you for bringing me the splendor and joy of the beginning of youth, thank you for living a good life, thank you for giving me the opportunity to say the words of apology.

Shi Shi watched the bus slowly drive away, and his eyes couldn't get rid of the soreness after hearing Nioh's "thank you".

The crack in time seemed to be stitching together again.

In fact, she didn't tell King Ni that when she was packing her luggage in the Kanagawa mansion, her eyes were red again and again, and when she touched the fireworks festival yukata that Akimoto really sewed for her, she only felt that her world collapsed, even if she let After she participated in this fireworks festival, she could say goodbye to all the people she loves and the city she loves, and she can leave without regrets.

On the morning of her departure, she came to the empty firework festival place alone in the firefly yukata, and buried one of the pair of bells she had chosen out of thousands of choices in a small street shop in Nioh. Under the tree where Masaharu kissed him for the first time.

Then, at the urging of Takeuchi Sonari, he set foot on Tokyo and left Kanagawa.

She turned around and saw Yushi Ninzu standing not far behind her. She didn't know how long he had been standing there, and she didn't know if he followed them all the way.

Shinobu stood on the spot and looked at her intently, and walked towards him step by step, seeing that he spread his hands towards her and took her hand, without asking anything.

"Thank you." Shinobu looked at Shinozu's side face with sideways eyes.

"Me too." Renzu turned his eyes and looked at himself seriously and said.
