moon watch boy

Everyone at the welcome party made a fuss until very late. Guanyue and Kisarazu had already slipped away midway and brought Hashimoto along with them. The three of them sat on the steps and felt the coolness brought by the night breeze.

"Hmm, as expected, it's more comfortable outside." Guanyue closed her eyes and felt the freshness of the wind. She turned her head to look at Kisarazu and Hashimoto who were sitting beside her with a satisfied expression. Their brows and eyes softened. They really haven't seen each other for a long time. So sit down and chat with the wind blowing.

Kisarazu put his hands on the steps and looked up at the stars under the night, and said with some nostalgia, "It's rare to take a break, watching the stars and blowing the night wind is pretty good, and the most important thing is that this selection competition is finally coming to an end, you can Back to school."

Thinking about Minister Liu Ze and the others, it feels like they haven't seen them for a long time, and they really miss them for a while.

"Hmm, Kisarazu, did coach Huacun arrange a match between you and your brother?" Guanyue looked sideways at Kisarazu. He hadn't seen coach Huacun arrange Kisarazu and Kisarazu Ryo for the past few days.

It stands to reason that as twin brothers and they are in the same group, a match should be inevitable. Now there are only a few days left before the friendly match, so there is no reason to ignore one point.

Hashimoto also turned his head to look at Kisarazu, senior wants to compete with his brother?

After being told by Guanyue, Kisarazu nodded distressedly, "Yes, coach Huacun has already reminded me tomorrow, it's just the first time I'm going against my brother."

"Did you meet Kisarazu Ryo-senpai in the previous competition?" Seeing Kisarazu's wrinkled face, he was really distressed. Hashimoto glanced at Guanyue who was smiling slightly, and asked curiously. There is a chance to meet Liujiao Junior High School in the big competition, the capital competition, the Kanto competition or the national competition. It makes no sense that I haven't played against my seniors and my brother.

Kisarazu shook his head. Ever since he came to St. Rudolph, even if he met his brother in the game, he had no chance to play against him. In addition, Guanyue made him and Yanagisawa form a doubles intentionally or unintentionally, so the chance of meeting him was even smaller. So after such a long time, he really hasn't played a single game.

"Are you worried that you won't be able to beat him in tomorrow's game? You have made great progress compared to before, so don't worry too much, just play a good game with him." Looking at the tangled Kisarazu, Guan Yue knew that he was in trouble. Thinking about something, comforting him, with a smile in his eyes, Kisarazu is still afraid of confronting his brother after so long.

The next moment, his expression was slightly restrained, his face huddled in the night was a little serious, and there was a hint of gentleness in his proud tone, and he spoke to comfort, "And you will know if you win or not."

Hashimoto nodded. What the manager said was right. He was also very afraid of his brother playing practice games. Every time he finished a game, he was always abused. Later, he became more and more frustrated, but he was still able to win in the hands of his brother. A ball or two.

"I will work hard." After Guanyue said this, the worry and irritability in Kisarazu's heart subsided a lot. The manager was right, and he was also making progress. Is it clear whether he won or not after a while?

"Hashimoto has also improved a lot recently, and it seems that he hasn't fallen behind in training." Guanyue looked at Hashimoto with his hands propped up and boasted about him, and his external rotation serve has also improved a lot.

It seems that everyone has improved a lot, and they didn't come in vain this time. If he can keep going, he may have the opportunity to talk to Coach Sakaki about the replacement on the last day. He was originally planning to be selected for the representative team. It's good to leave the opportunity to the younger generations.

"Me?" Hashimoto looked at Guanyue with wide eyes in surprise, and blushed slightly when he heard Guanyue's praise, didn't he talk about seniors again?Why did you suddenly praise him?

"After you go back, Hashimoto will play with me." Kisarazu looked at Hashimoto with a reddish face, turned his eyes, and said with a smile. You have to have a fight with him.

"what??"

Hashimoto tilted his head slightly and looked at Kisarazu's serious eyes, blinked blankly, and didn't know why Kisarazu-senpai suddenly wanted to fight with him when he looked at Guanyue.

"Hahaha..." Seeing Hashimoto's wide-eyed expression of astonishment, Kanyue and Kisarazu looked at each other, it was unexpectedly fun to tease Hashimoto.

After another quarrel, Kanyue and Kisarazu sent Hashimoto back to the dormitory. The two of them walked slowly under the dim light. Under the light, their figures became longer and longer, dyed black.

"Are you sure you want to do this? After all, the places are limited this time and the competition is very rare."

Kisarazu stopped and looked at Guanyue. Under the dim light, Guanyue's expression seemed to be covered with a layer of veil. There was a trace of firmness in his dark eyes, and he smiled at him, "Hmm, if he can keep it up, I will Why not give in?"

"There are so many people here, if Hashimoto can't make it to the end, then your spot will be gone." Kisarazu tried to change Guanyue's mind, he was so stupid, he wanted to give up the spot he finally got and give it up to other people , Is Guanyue stupid or bewildered by the recent training.

Guanyue looked at the direction of the Ryuzaki team and continued, "You have to believe in him, his potential is not bad, and now their coach is Tezuka not Ryugasaki, and Hashimoto's previous performance is not bad, then he Naturally, there is also a chance."

"But there is no need to give up your own quota. Now there are seven people, Guanyue, you are the first to get the team quota, Sanada and Atobe are closely behind, and the fourth is no less than Ninzu and Kikumaru is fifth or sixth, and the only remaining spot has not been confirmed, even if he has a chance, you plan to give up your spot, does Coach Sakaki know?"

It is rare that he is the first person to win the representative team spot. Many people are envious that Guanyue really plans to give up before it is too late, and he also plans to finally tell Coach Sakaki that Coach Sakaki has been too gentle recently. If he knows that Guanyue If I did that, I wouldn't have chosen him in the first place.

"Our goal is the national competition. When I came here, I said that I would show everyone to gain experience and knowledge. The choice depends on strength and luck. If Hashimoto was not selected in the end, I might not do this. , as long as he has the opportunity, it’s okay for me to be a spectator, the tennis club will always belong to their juniors.”

Moreover, Yuta Hashimoto's strength may not be much worse than other people's. If they have enough experience and strength to improve, then they don't need to plan for their juniors. They are enough for the tennis club.

As a manager, he must always make plans for the future of the tennis team, and he will naturally let them have the opportunity. If they can't, there is no need to be humble.

Kisarazu looked at the emotion in his eyes, sighed, rubbed the center of his brows, his expression was very helpless, Guanyue told him this matter was to inform him, no matter how much he said now, he couldn't change his decision, sometimes Guanyue's stubbornness is really a headache, thinking about other people, thinking about Hashimoto Yuta, thinking about the tennis club, but never thinking about herself.

Kisarazu didn't speak to Guanyue for several days. Even when he saw Guanyue watching when he was playing with his brother, he didn't say a word to him when he failed. In the end, Guanyue handed him a new plan for improvement. .

During the meal, the strange atmosphere between the two made Yuta and Hashimoto's faces bubbly. It had been two days since Kisarazu-senpai said a word to the manager.

Yuta quietly moved closer to Hashimoto's side, looked at the two abnormal people, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with them? Why are they acting strange recently, without saying a word, is there a conflict?"

Hashimoto shook his head, he didn't know, he was fine that night at the welcome party, he was talking and laughing when he was sent back to the dormitory, and this strange behavior started the next day, maybe what happened he and Yuta don't know things.

And what's strange is that recently Coach Tezuka also looks at him from time to time. He thinks that he doesn't have a deep friendship with Tezuka Kunimitsu, and he didn't know each other before. How could he suddenly pay attention to him, especially when he was competing with other seniors? This feeling is even worse, as if he is looking at whether he has this strength.

In the evening, the manager also took him to practice, and every time he used Wuying and data tennis to force him, after two nights, he had a psychological shadow on Wuying.

On the last day of the game, everyone was free to train, and the coaches all went to a meeting to decide the number of the final representative team. Guanyue took a racket and looked around the training field before finding the fiery Hashimoto who played with Chiye. Pai walked over to observe the state of the two of them.

Looking at the two people in good condition, Guanyue couldn't help but smile. It seemed that Chi had already controlled his emotions. He looked at Hashimoto who was in high spirits. His super high-speed serve has been perfected. The credit for the first month of the past few nights is not bad. , Let Hashimoto improve his skills in advance.

"Have you heard about the recent incident?" Liu looked at Guanyue who was holding on to the fence and concentrated on watching the game, walked over to look at the two people on the field, and asked him.

Guanyue looked at him with her head sideways, her eyes were dazed, and then she heard Liu say, "Everyone's tennis clubs were kicked out of the gymnasium."

Guan Yue pursed the corners of her lips, hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and nodded, he really heard a lot. He heard that a teenager from the United States challenged the tennis clubs in Tokyo, and it seemed that he was looking for someone.

"And then?" Guanyue didn't understand what this matter had to do with him. He was waiting for the last spot in the representative team, and the boy couldn't find him, and Liu told him that he couldn't get anything new. The data.

"It's very likely that you will meet him." Liu turned his head to look at Guan Yue who was tilting his head. He heard that the boy was a singles player of the US team, and Guan Yue might meet him on the field.

"No." Guan Yue shook his head without even thinking about it. He won't meet him. He went to coach Tezuka and Sakaki last night, so it is destined that his name will not be on the list, and he will not meet him. on that boy.

"Why?" Liu didn't understand why Guanyue was so sure. He also participated in his recent evening training. If it was singles, it was very likely to meet, and the probability was more than 90.00%.

Just as Guanyue wanted to confess to him, she watched Sakaki Taro and Huacun come out, and everyone stopped to gather. He knew the list was out last night, and today's short meeting is just to confirm again, and the speed is naturally slow. It's as slow as everyone imagined.

Seeing the coach coming, Liu also gave up asking, and he will find out later, but the strength of that person who can challenge the major universities in Tokyo will not be much worse.

It took less than 3 minutes for everyone to gather. When they came, they were all high-spirited. After a few days of training here, they experienced the hard work of the training camp. However, they gritted their teeth for the selection of representatives. Now it is the final confirmation stage. Began to feel uneasy, looking expectantly at the list in Sakaki Taro's hand.

Coach Sakaki watched as they clenched their hands for the final selection of representatives.He glanced around, looked at the expressions of everyone in the crowd, his eyes fell on Guan Yue and then quickly moved away. In the entire training ground, everyone lined up according to their own school rules, not according to their groups. Assembled, there were individual volunteers leaning in the corner to listen to the final results.

"During the training camp, everyone underwent rigorous training and no one quit midway. Everyone persisted to the end. I am very happy about this. Although there are only seven players selected for the representative team, those who have not been selected should not deny themselves urgently. They can Persevering means that everyone is good and no worse than others, and I also hope that the results of this training camp can help everyone in their growth and training, so now we will announce the seven official representative players."

Listening to Shintaro's words, everyone held their breath and listened quietly, expecting to hear their own names.

"Hyotei Academy third grader, Keigo Atobe!"

"Sanada Genichiro, third grader at Lihai University High School!"

"Third year at Ice Emperor Academy, Shinobu Yushi!"

"Youth Academy third grade, Eiji Kikumaru!"

"Third year at the Youth Academy, Bu Er Zhou Zhu!"

"Yamabuki junior high school third grader, Qianshi is pure!"

"A sophomore in the High School Affiliated to Lihai University, Chiya Kirihara!"

Everyone listened to the list with different expressions. Liu and Sanada glanced at Guan Yue with a calm expression. Why is there no Guan Yue's name? Isn't he the first person to win the team spot?

They were not the only ones who were surprised, but everyone was puzzled too. Many eyes fell on Guan Yue, with curiosity, surprise, suspicion, ridicule, and ridicule.

Guanyue accepted their doubts with a calm expression, looked at Sakaki Taro quietly, and was very nervous waiting for the last substitute. Thinking about it, what Kisarazu said at the beginning was not wrong, he was really betting, using his luck to bet on their tennis club and his own choice.

"The last substitute is..." Coach Sakaki seemed to glance at Guanyue, "Saint Rudolph College freshman, Kiyono Hashimoto!"

"The above is the final quota of the Japanese team, congratulations to them."

Yuta and Hashimoto were also surprised, thinking in unison why not the manager?Didn't Coach Sakaki say that the manager won the representative team spot?Why is his name not included in the final quota?

Kisarazu looked sideways at Guanyue who smiled slightly. He could clearly feel everyone's subtle emotions. Why Guanyue remained calm? Now he can know what everyone is thinking without thinking about it. Everyone sees his jokes. The first person to be recognized by coach Sakaki as a spot was not included in the final list.

The list of seven people does not have the name of Guan Yue.

Standing behind Coach Sakaki, Tezuka had no expression on his face. His glasses reflected the glimmer of light, reflecting his cold and serious face. His cold eyes contained the emotions in everyone's eyes, and his complicated eyes gradually shifted to the piece off the stage. Looking at him in the team, he has not understood Guan Yue's thoughts until now, and voluntarily gave up his quota to others. Should he be said to be kind or stupid.

Liu looked at Guanyue standing tall and straight in front of him, with a gentle face, and he couldn't see his frustration. Now he seemed to understand why he was so quick to veto him just now that he would never meet that American boy, except for him He can't think of any other way to give up his name. After all, he still remembers what Coach Sakaki said that day.

After the candidates are confirmed, it also means that their selection is over. They only need to wait for the final time of the friendly match. The selected candidates wait for the time of the game.For those who were not selected, after that, they will train in the school and prepare for the next national competition.

After the end, everyone went back to their dormitories to pack their things and planned to go back to school. Guanyue packed his luggage and counted it again. Then he looked up at Yuta who had been standing behind him and stared at him packing his luggage. He frowned and asked, " Are you ready?"

"No." Yuta shook his head, he hadn't cleaned up yet, looked at Guanyue and turned around to continue, Yuta hesitated to speak but stopped looking at him, the doubts in his heart were twisted into knots.

"Then don't hurry up, we have to go back to school before the end of the department work, Akazawa and the others are waiting for us at school." Seeing that Yuta was still in a daze, Guanyue looked at him with his head sideways, and couldn't help urging.

Being urged by Guanyue, Yutai had to pack her things, looked at Guanyue who didn't care from the corner of the eye, and frowned. Does the manager really care that he is not in the team?

On the other side, Hashimoto had just packed his things and left the dormitory when he saw Kisarazu leaning against the wall waiting for him.

Many people were talking about it on the way.

Atobe, Shinobu and the others waited for Coach Sakaki to go back to Hyotei, their brows were furrowed, they stroked their mole, thinking about the list.

"Are you still thinking about the roster? I saw Guanyue go to see Coach Sakaki last night." Shinozu looked back at Atobe with doubts on his face. He was stunned for a few seconds before he said unhurriedly.

"So he gave up the quota by himself?" Atobe glanced at Ren Zuo, and said following his meaning, Guan Yue was not so stupid as to let the opportunity pass by and give up.

Shinobu shrugged and didn't respond, maybe it was true, otherwise how could he explain that coach Sakaki admitted that he didn't have a name this time, which can suppress Akaya Kirihara's demonization, what else can he do that he can't do at the beginning of the month.

After Guanyue waited for Yuta to clean up, she looked at Hashimoto and Kisarazu at the door, and waved to them.

As soon as I came out, I looked at the people from Qingxue who were still staying outside the pick-up vehicle. Guanyue looked at them. Fujisuke had already packed them up. Why didn’t he leave until now? When I looked around, Guanyue didn’t see Tezuka either. It seems that he is waiting for him. He hasn't thanked Tezuka for this matter, otherwise he would not be so easy to persuade Coach Sakaki to quit the representative team and choose a more suitable candidate.

Glancing at Fuji's eyes, Guanyue also understood what Fuji wanted to do, turned around and said to Yuta, "The school is already on holiday, why don't you go back with Tezuka and the others."

"Isn't the minister waiting for us?" Yu Tai looked at Guanyue, and just said that the minister was waiting for them, why did they suddenly let him be with senior Qingxue, looked around Guanyue and looked at Buer behind him, and instantly understood What does Guanyue mean? After thinking about it, he finally nodded. It's time for him to go home and see sister Yumiko.

Guanyue waited for a while but didn't see Tezuka come out, and finally had to let Oishi relay it. Seeing Chiya staring at him eagerly, Guanyue told him again, thanking Sanada and Liu.

"Chi will be counting on you, please, please."

"You're welcome, Yukimura also troubles Kanyue to take a look at it at any time. After all, Sanada and I are in Kanagawa, so we can't visit Yukimura at any time."

"Hmm, no problem, Akaya, do you understand that you listen carefully to what Senior says?"

"Understood." Chi also curled his lips indifferently, his cousin said it three times, and he was tired of hearing it.

"Then let's go, see you in the game."

"See you at the game."

Guanyue nodded to them and got into the car with Kisarazu and the others to go back to school first. After training, it was time to go back to school to see how the others were training.

Tezuka finished the last thing and went out to look at the other people waiting for him outside the door, apologized to them, caught a glimpse of Yuta beside Fuji, and didn't say much.

"Minister, just now Guanyue-kun waited for you for a while and didn't wait for someone to tell me to say thank you." Oishi looked at Tezuka sitting beside him, suddenly remembered Guanyue, called him and told Guanyue's words Exact words.

Tezuka was stunned when he heard the words, and adjusted his glasses again. His expressionless face was a little moved, and he nodded to indicate that he had heard.

"After getting along during this period of time, Mr. Guanyue is actually quite good, and he has helped us a lot." Dashi recalled Guanyue's attitude at the time, and couldn't help but say something more. He was the one who helped adjust Chiye's state and sent the dragon away. He is also the coach of Saki, and he is not as difficult to get along with as it seems at all, and he has changed a lot in his opinion.

Tezuka's fingers subconsciously touched the guardian who was carrying him, pursed his lips and did not speak, he had understood Guan Yue's incongruity personality very early on, that person was not as difficult to get along with as he seemed, what he paid attention to It's all about the details.

When they arrived at the destination, Tezuka announced that they would be disbanded. Some said that they would go back to school and practice again. Kawamura suggested that everyone go to his house for a review meeting. They said it was a review meeting, so naturally they had to have a big meal, of course. The sushi of Kawamura's family was sold, and Taocheng was the first to agree. The team members discussed for a long time and no one had any opinions, so they planned to leave.

"Then Yuta and I will go home first, and come later."

"Okay, see you later."

"see you later."

Guanyue looked at Hashimoto's glances from time to time, and frowned. It was fine for Kisarazu to be angry with him, but Hashimoto was also weird. After waiting for a while, he didn't see him asking, so he opened his mouth and called, "Hashimoto ,busy?"

"No." Hashimoto subconsciously tightened his nerves when Guanyue called his name suddenly, and stammered.

"It's fine if you don't have one. During this period of time, practice hard. Although it is said to be a substitute, you still have the opportunity to play. Once you play, the opponent is not someone we know. If you don't have enough strength, everything will happen."

"That quota..."

"I asked to quit the representative team myself. I am too busy with my own affairs. After I go back, I still have to do with the tennis club. It is good to give you the opportunity. But in the final intensive training, learn more from the seniors. What can I do? Go find Sanada and Akaya, and don't underestimate the American team."

The U.S. team's provocation of the tennis team also needs to cheer up Hashimoto. This competition is not as easy as the Kanto Tournament. There is no defeat. If you challenge alone, you can't do this without strong strength.

"I... I know." I guessed a little before, but now that Guanyue said this, Hashimoto also had mixed feelings in his heart. He couldn't help but wonder if it was because of him that the manager voluntarily quit the selection competition, but he thought of Guanyue's busy schedule. The image is also slightly relieved.
