[Net King Black Basket] Rebirth: Hunting the Iceberg Goddess

Chapter 43.Confession was cheated

——You want to be the hero of Qingxue, is this your intention, or do you have to stand in that position?

The moment after hearing Baili's words, Tezuka was almost dumbfounded.He suddenly widened his eyes, with a face full of disbelief, he stared directly at Baili in amazement.

However, for Tezuka, any expression other than "serious" would not stay on his face for too long, and the same was true for this surprise. He quickly returned to the most natural expression, and that calmness actually set off De Baili was quite cramped and nervous.

Baili was indeed very nervous. After she said those words just now, she silently clenched her fists tightly, and even her back straightened involuntarily.When she just uttered that sentence, she already had the courage and determination to do everything she could, and she was a bit of a failure-or-benevolence heroism.

Baili regards her interrogation as another gamble of unscrupulous words.This is one of several questions that have been entrenched in her mind for a long time. If her relationship with Tezuka is closer, maybe she can find a suitable opportunity in a certain verbal joke, use similar questions, and keep calm It's a cliché from Tezuka.

But now their relationship can only be described as "delicate", not the kind of "intimacy" that Baili expected.

With such a relationship as the premise, and at such a sensitive time... This question is more like a poisonous medicine, either killing people or fighting poison with poison.

Obviously it was only a few seconds of silence, but Baili felt like it had been several months - going back a few months, she was still on another journey of life.

The girl glanced anxiously at Tezuka's expression, until Tezuka spoke, Baili listened to his tone, and finally felt that the stubborn stone stuck in his chest fell to the ground.

Of course, his tone was not pleasant, after all, this was not a matter of entertainment, and of course, he did not put on a vicious expression.As if answering a question worth answering, Tezuka spoke slowly, with a gentle and steady tone.

"I don't think I'm Qingxue's hero, at least, I didn't win the game for Qingxue."

"No—you can't say that!" Baili growled almost reflexively, she reached out and grabbed Tezuka's uninjured arm, her tone anxious, "It's not a matter of winning or losing, I'm not this mean!"

"Don't do that," Tezuka twisted his wrist and patted Baili's arm reassuringly, "I know that's not what you mean, listen to me."

"I persist in the game, not because I want to be a hero, let alone because I have to be that hero."

"But you are a heroic act!" Baili retorted, but her voice was very low and did not sound convincing, "And you are a tragic hero... Look how many people in Qingxue are all serious. Crying face."

"Are you crying?" Tezuka interrupted Baili abruptly.

Baili suddenly showed a choked-up bitter expression, she pursed her lips and tilted her head to look at Tezuka, and after maintaining this movement for a few seconds as a statue, she let out a sigh of unknown meaning.

"I don't think you need other people's tears to color your tragedy - so I don't."

——Even if I cry, it should be when you win your first Grand Slam title, and it will never be at that time and place, because of that reason.

"I believe in your desire to win, and I also know that in many cases... people will lose their reason and judgment in order to pursue their own goals. But I still have to say, I don't understand your choice, you should retire , isn't it?"

"This is my first match in the Kanto Conference," Tezuka said raising his eyebrows, "Do you think I will be a deserter?"

"This is just a game. Even if you give up, it should be a strategic retreat rather than an escape."

After saying this, Baili raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, then sighed inaudibly.She didn't deliberately hide her exhaustion in front of Tezuka, yes, it was exhaustion, that very familiar feeling of exhaustion.

Baili knew that she shouldn't continue this topic with Tezuka, they couldn't reach any conclusions, and neither of them could convince the other.

Tezuka Kunimitsu has his pride, but Baili Baisawa knows about the farther tomorrow. She clearly holds the bargaining chip in her hand, but she has no way to persuade Tezuka Kunimitsu to change her current thinking and persistence.

What will happen in this game against Keigo Atobe has changed from Baili's speculation to reality, with the worst possible outcome.But this summer there is another game, it seems to be the final, who is their opponent... Li Haida?Tezuka's opponent seems to be their vice minister Sanada, right?

Unlike Atobe, the name Sanada hardly appears in any reports related to Tezuka, and Baili's impression of him comes from various paper materials.She didn't know what happened in that match, probably... Another tug of war.

Baili took a deep breath, suppressing all the sadness that was gradually churning up in her chest, she grinned, and gave Tezuka a stiff smile.

"I have nothing more to say, the last sentence...I, I just hope that you don't have a whole body of injuries at this age. Most athletes have the same talent and hard work, and in the end it will determine their fate. — more often than not, health.”

After Baili finished speaking, Tezuka pondered for a moment, with a hint of hesitation in his brown eyes.

"I have a question...why, are you so sure I want to play professional tennis?"

"Huh?" Baili slightly raised his voice, "Don't you want to be stumped?"

Tezuka didn't speak for a while, and he quickly looked away. If Baili didn't know him well enough, he would definitely have thought that he suddenly had a strong interest in the shiny marble floor of the hospital.

"Of course, it's just..."

The boy staring at the floor spoke slightly, the voice was so weak that Baili would have almost missed it.

"I have read the previous report of "Tennis Monthly". Ha, speaking of it, it is the issue where I bet with Gan." Baili let go of his hands that had been holding the boy's arm, and put his fingers crossed on his thighs , looking straight ahead, with a soft voice as if talking to himself, "I can tell what is a 'beautiful scene' and what is a 'dream from the heart', you, and Tokugawa Kazuya, you guys Isn’t your goal all about professional tennis?”

Baili can be so sure, of course, is to use the little cheat brought by the rebirth-Tezuka and Tokugawa will step into the professional tennis world one after another.When she said what she said just now, with wholehearted affirmation and belief, Tezuka must have heard it, and he must have been surprised.

This is Baili's purpose, she wants to make Tezuka feel: Baili Bai Ze firmly believes in something that Tezuka Kunimitsu himself does not necessarily believe in.

"A real dream has a certain ingenious aura, even if it's just a simple sentence of yours, I can see it. I can even tell your dream for you: you want to set foot on the Grand Slam arena? Also, even if it seems hopeless now, you still firmly believe that you will win the Grand Slam champion, don't you?"

"I watch tennis, I can also write tennis reports, and of course I understand tennis. You are talented, and of course you work hard, so... I hope you will not plant hidden dangers for your future at this moment."

"Didn't I say it before, for me... I hope you win the game, but it is more important than winning, and I value it more-I hope you stay healthy."

——But this can only be my hope, the point of view I have conveyed to you again and again, but I can't really make you remember it no matter what.

——Some things, if you have not stood on the edge of the cliff and felt the panic of your life hanging by a thread, you will never really feel the importance of it.

Baili stretched out his hand hesitantly, and carefully covered it with Tezuka's naturally placed hand.The back of the boy's hand was just as she had imagined, with well-defined joints, slender but not weak, even if it was just a simple touch, Baili could feel the power contained in his hand.

"I... I don't think I can really influence you, and I don't feel qualified to ask you to change your mind, so please take this as my request, I hope you stay healthy so that... I can always, Watching you on tennis, from now on all the way to the top of the world."

When saying these words, Baili kept looking at Tezuka. The boy who had been studying the marble floor turned his eyes back to Baili just now. He could see every subtle expression on Baili's face, but The emotions in his eyes were so complicated that he didn't know what to say for a while.

So he could only look at Baili silently like this, recalling what she just said over and over again in his mind.

Baili Baize told him that he hoped that he would win, but more hoped that he would maintain a healthy body.

She had said this before, and she had said the same thing during their ridiculous quarrel.But now it sounds completely different from that time.Baili was worried that Atobe would use the tug-of-war to drag down his body before, and Tezuka had dismissed her guess, but it turned out that Baili was right, and her prediction was undoubtedly correct.

A subtle and strange emotion suddenly sprouted in Tezuka's heart. He always felt that Baili knew him better than he imagined. They hadn't known each other for long, but she could always express his mood and thoughts subtly. Moreover, Baili's vision and judgment are extremely precise, far beyond Tezuka's imagination.

She's... amazing.

The boy could feel Baili's hand lightly placed on the back of his hand. She seemed to have deliberately controlled the strength, and the feeling of hand-to-hand contact was stuck in a delicate range, not completely separated, but it was not completely separated. weight in one place.

Boys can feel that special softness and delicacy, which comes from the beautiful touch of women's bodies and skins. It's not like he hasn't had such contact with women before—this is normal physical contact, isn't it, just the palms and backs of hands? It's just that there is almost no hint of lust - but this kind of contact is completely different from mothers, female sisters in the clan, female classmates in the class, or girls in the support club.

No, maybe the feeling from the skin is the same, but among his peers, no one has yet said what Baili just said.Their blessings are all related to victory. They feel that "winning" is enough. In other words, they feel that for Tezuka Kunimitsu, only victory is the most important thing, and they don't think about other things at all. , Tactics, health... He had never heard every keyword from Bailikou before in full from other girls.

she……

That surge of emotion came suddenly, but it was also the gradual accumulation of water dripping through stone, from tiny, unnoticed occasions, strand by strand, into the boundless ocean in his mind at this moment, and the ocean is blue , but there seemed to be a little familiar color in that blue color, the kind of green green like green plants that he had seen countless times in the eyes of the girl in front of him.

Tezuka has never thought of himself as an impulsive person, but at this moment, he suddenly sprouted an urgent desire without knowing the source.

He carefully pulled out his hand, and then touched Baili's arm with an even more careful gesture.

As if bewitched by that kind of wonderful green color that is bright, transparent and touching but bottomless, Tezuka concentrated on it, staring at Baili with a serious attitude that he had never had before.

"I……"

After murmuring the word, Tezuka was stunned for a few seconds, as if he had suddenly forgotten what he was going to say, and then he spoke again, his lips interlaced, and spit out the same words as before.

"I……"

"—Would you like me to buy you a bottle of water? I saw a vending machine at the corner of the corridor."

Baili suddenly interrupted Tezuka's words. She didn't look at the boy, but got up after hurriedly saying this, and pulled back her arm without a trace.

"Let me help you buy water," the girl repeated this sentence mechanically, still avoiding Tezuka's direct gaze, "Wait a moment, I'll be right back."

Then, she turned around and left. Tezuka stared at her gradually walking away figure in surprise, and couldn't react for a while.

He wanted to say something, it was some idea that popped up suddenly under the combined effect of hormones and adrenaline, but he only spoke the first word, as if a terrifying and weird spell had been activated, He forced Baili who was sitting in front of him to leave.

Baili must have guessed something vaguely, which is why he had such an abrupt reaction.

Is she running away?

But why was she running away, she wasn't—
