"Minister Yukimura?!" Nakajima was astonished with a hint of horror. If he remembered correctly, Yukimura should have already completed his rehabilitation and was discharged from the hospital at this time. How could he still see him here now.

In Nakajima's impression, Yukimura is always the most reliable existence, always the most radiant one in the crowd.Even in the darkest time of illness, Yukimura still kept smiling and gave them the strength to move forward.

But what is the situation of this weak man in front of him? If it wasn't for the business card on the other party's hospital bed, Nakajima thought he had identified the wrong person, when did Yukimura become so embarrassed.

Yukimura's skinny body became thinner under the cover of the wide hospital gown, and the medicine flowed into his body along the thin infusion catheter.Although he was still smiling, anyone with a discerning eye could see how forced the smile was.

The fine pinholes on the fingertips and the retained needles on the inside of the arm let Nakajima understand that Yukimura is still a long way from recovery, and he should even be in the most critical period of his illness.

"Do we know this classmate?" Yukimura's smile was alienated thousands of miles away, just like every time he faced opponents from other schools, he was as cold as ever, "If you don't know each other, don't call it that, we don't know each other well. "

"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Nakajima thumped in his heart.How could he forget that since he was different from his original self in this world, others would definitely change as well.However, this change was too difficult for Nakajima to accept.

Yukimura has always given Nakajima a lot of support, no matter when he was a student in the Rikkai University Tennis Club or in the professional tennis world.but now...

Nakajima's heart felt cold, he never thought that one day Yukimura would look at him with such eyes.However, he couldn't explain it, after all, Nakajima in this world had no intersection with them.

After Nakajima apologized, the room fell into a strange silence, neither he nor Yukimura spoke again to adjust the atmosphere.Both remained relatively silent until they fell asleep.

Thinking about things in his heart, beside the senior who was the most familiar in his previous life and now the most unfamiliar, Nakajima couldn't fall asleep at all.Nakajima woke up before two o'clock.

"Hey..." Nakajima became more and more irritable when he heard the ticking of the instruments in the ward, "When will I go back? Am I going to stay in this cold world forever?"

Nakajima didn't know the answer to this question, and no one could answer him.The boundless loneliness made him a little at a loss, and Nakajima didn't know what to do.

If it was just the original world, Nakajima could barely comfort himself to start from scratch. Anyway, rebirth is an opportunity that many people can't ask for.But now all people and things are different from before, and Nakajima doesn't know what kind of performance he should use to face his former "old friend".

Nakajima didn't sleep well, and Yukimura, who was next to him, also slept very restlessly. The torment of his illness kept him rolling on the bed, and occasionally there would be a thin licking sound coming out of his mouth.

In the beginning, Nakajima was still upset about his current situation, but later on he was only worried about Yukimura.Nakajima stared closely at the values ​​of various instruments, and was always ready to help Yukimura call a doctor for emergency treatment.

After finally surviving until the next morning, the doctor on duty came in with the nurse to help them check up.The doctor on Nakajima's side didn't struggle for too long, he just changed a bottle of medicine for him and it was over.

As for Yukimura, it was much more complicated. From the various blood test reports to the constant CT tests, several doctors surrounded Yukimura and asked again and again, for fear that there was something missing that would delay the illness.

"Yukimura-kun, please take a good rest during the period before the operation, and don't sneak out to the tennis court again." The nurse said worriedly, "Nakajima-kun, you have to take good care of Yukimura-kun."

"I see." Nakajima smiled bitterly in his heart.For such a stubborn Yukimura, don't say that he is just a stranger to him now, even if he fought side by side in the last world for so long, no one can keep him under control.

After the doctor left, the ward was quiet again, and Nakajima could only hear the shallow breathing of the two.There was an inexplicable sense of tension in the air, making Nakajima a little breathless.

Although this world is different from what Nakajima experienced, he wondered if Yukimura had also experienced such a embarrassing moment when he fell ill.Could it be that Yukimura was responsible for these moments alone?

It was difficult for Nakajima to come up with an answer to this question, and he didn't dare to imagine what Yukimura had endured that summer.I thought they had helped Yukimura share the pain, but it turned out to be just a thought?

There was only one bottle of Nakajima's potion, and he ran out quickly, so he simply left the depressing ward to get some air.On the way, Nakajima saw Yukimura walking forward step by step in the corridor, leaning on the wall, and uneasy following him from a distance to protect him. He didn't expect to hear a shocking secret.

"Is it Yukimura-kun?" Nakajima froze when he heard the familiar words, "It's a pity, with his body, even after the surgery, it's impossible to play tennis again."

Nakajima's pupils shrank. Is this the truth about the surgery with a high success rate?But he didn't have time to be shocked. Yukimura Tan, who also heard the truth, knelt on the ground, lifeless like a broken doll.

"Minister!" Nakajima rushed up to check Yukimura's status, but the other party didn't give him any response.The sound of footsteps in the room told Nakajima that the doctor was coming out soon. In order to avoid being discovered by the doctor, he simply picked up Yukimura and rushed back to the ward.

"Don't go, I'm really fine." Yukimura grabbed Nakajima who was about to go out to find a doctor, his expression was full of pleading, "Talk to me."

"Okay..." Nakajima struggled for a while, but his heart softened. It was hard for all of them to refuse Yukimura's plea, "Then if you feel unwell, you must speak up, and I will call a doctor for you."

"Don't worry, I know my body." Yukimura's words made Nakajima roll his eyes in his heart.If you knew that the operation would be postponed until this time, and you still escaped from the hospital during the hospitalization?

However, Nakajima did not refute Yukimura in this world anymore, he understood that what the other party needs now is just a listener.Nakajima made two cups of black tea for each other, quietly waiting for Yukimura's story.

Perhaps it was because he had already shown his most vulnerable side in front of Nakajima, this time Yukimura no longer had the indifference of last night.If you ignore the "businesslike" in his eyes, Nakajima would have thought that the minister from the previous world had returned.

Yukimura took a sip of black tea and asked the question first: "Nakajima-san, can you play tennis?"

"Of course, I played pretty well." Although I don't know if Nakajima in this world can play tennis, the original Nakajima is very confident in his skills.With superior psychological quality and stable technology, his performance on the job site is quite good.

"That's it." Yukimura's voice was a bit lonely, "I really hope to fight against you, but unfortunately I may not have a chance."

"No, there will definitely be a chance. Yukimura-senpai, you will be fine." Nakajima's voice contained a bit of unbearable grief.He didn't understand why God brought such a serious disease to Yukimura while giving him extraordinary talent. It had to be said that it was a big joke made by fate.

"As a minister but not being able to play the game, my minister has already been dereliction of duty." Yukimura sighed, "I thought I could continue to play tennis after the operation and lead Li Hai to three consecutive victories, but now..."

"It's definitely possible now, Senior Yukimura, you can definitely do it." Nakajima was convincing Yukimura as well as himself, "There is no dead end in Lihai's third consecutive championship, and you can start playing tennis again, Minister."

"Believe in me so much, but I don't believe in myself anymore." Yukimura didn't expect to get such an answer, "The success rate of the operation is very low, and I don't know how far I can recover."

"Of course I believe you, because you are Seiichi Yukimura." Nakajima endured and forbearance and said the second half of the sentence, "No matter what kind of desperate situation it is, you can survive it. You will shine on the court."

"Thank you, Nakajima." Chief Yukimura breathed a sigh of relief, and the burden that had been piling up in his heart was finally relieved.

He has been suppressed for too long, everyone can be bored but he can't stand it, no matter what time Yukimura must maintain his pride and self-confidence to become Li Hai's big support and Li Hai's big move forward.

The three-game winning streak is already very difficult. In addition, as a minister, Yukimura cannot play and can only fight with his teammates. Nakajima, who also served as a minister, can imagine how much pressure Yukimura is under.

At that time, when he led Lihai to the sixth consecutive championship in the high school league, he couldn't sleep all night. Even Nakajima was never so nervous in the Grand Slam final.At that time, he had represented the Japanese team as the main force in the World Cup for many years, not to mention that Yukimura was still at the most vulnerable time of illness.

Nakajima's cold was not that serious, and he was discharged from the hospital before Yukimura's operation.After being discharged from the hospital, Nakajima went back to school safely and continued to attend classes, but went to the club to practice his skills in his spare time.

Nakajima didn't bother about going back to the tennis club anymore, he hoped that he would not disturb other people's lives.After all, although Nakajima in this world is also very talented in sports, he can't play tennis.

On the day of the final of the Kanto Competition, Nakajima sneaked into a corner alone to watch the match between Li Hai and Qing Xue.

After so many years, Nakajima has long been unable to remember the specific details of the game.Even knowing that this world is different from his original one, he still feels that something is quite wrong. When will Li Haida's game be so tangled.

The temporary combination of Marui Kuwahara and Aigaku is inextricably linked, and the golden combination of Nioh Yagyu and Aigaku can barely be said to be the result of their bad taste, but how could Senior Liu lose to Gan Sadaharu?

Looking at the jubilation in the Qingxue stand area, Nakajima had a hard time understanding how Liu Lianji could make the game to the current result.The vision and experience of the three giants of Lihai University are not the same as those of ordinary candidates, so outsiders who don't know it will believe the words that Qing Yulan is said.

However, the later games subverted Nakajima's cognition even more. Not only did they use a knee ball to beat their trump card Kirihara to a mental breakdown, but Sanada, who was left alone in the later period, lost to the opponent's first-year rookie Echizen Ryoma.

When the referee announced that Qingxue had won the championship, Nakajima was stunned. Did Lihai University's undefeated record in Kanto end here?

Having no time to comfort his "former teammate" who was extremely sad, Nakajima rushed back to the hospital as fast as he could.If he remembered correctly, today should be the day of Yukimura's operation.

Nakajima didn't dare to think about how Yukimura would react if he knew that Rikkai had lost his 15-year consecutive championship when he was away. With the character of the opponent, he should put all the responsibility on himself alone.

He knew that he couldn't persuade Yukimura and had no position to persuade Yukimura, but he still wanted to help Yukimura share his pain.When Nakajima arrived at the hospital, Yukimura had just woken up from anesthesia, and the only comfort was that the operation was as successful as in his own world.

"Could you please go out first." Nakajima heard Yukimura's voice suppressing the pain to the extreme, "I don't want to hear any more next time!"

"Minister..." Nakajima was at a loss as he hid his body in the shadows in the aisle.

"what!!!!!"

The author has something to say:

Continuing from the previous chapter, Yukimura is the director of Rikkai University and the most difficult person to approach at Rikkai University.He regards all the main candidates of the Lihai University Tennis Club as lovers, which is the treatment only those close to him can get. It is impossible for Nakajima, who saw him for the first time, to have further communication with him.

I don’t know if you have noticed a detail. When Nakajima first joined the club, I wrote that he was questioned by the ministry without interruption (that is, no one interfered), and Yukimura also said that he needs to pass the test before he can become their successor. people.It can be said that if Nakajima cannot get the approval of his seniors, he is just a catfish that arouses internal competition. If he cannot adapt, he will definitely not be able to continue to be elected.

The reason why Nakajima didn’t go back to the club directly in this chapter is because these people were not the people he knew in his original world, and it was difficult for him to face these most familiar strangers.The defeat in the Kanto Tournament or the pain of Yukimura was the driving force for him to return to the tennis club.

Also as a minister, Nakajima also experienced all kinds of tension before the game. Nakajima can understand the pain of Yukimura losing the championship because he was not present.So even if this Yukimura is not the minister he is most familiar with, he will still go back to the tennis club to do something.
