[Net King] The Crown of Tennis

The days in the hospital were extremely long, and as the course of treatment continued to improve, Yukimura's condition was controlled and alleviated day by day.It was the end of December when the yellowing leaves were falling.

The whole family came to visit Yukimura on New Year's Eve, and grandmother Sachiko was also there.

"Grandma, why don't you..."

"Because I haven't seen Seikishi for a long time, I miss it very much." Originally, Yukimura's family would go to Sachiko's place to accompany the old man during the Chinese New Year. This year, something unexpected happened, and Sachiko wanted to come to see Yukimura no matter what, "Three days I offered a big mirror cake to the gods before, and the gods will definitely make Jingshi better in the coming year."

"Ah." Yukimura sat obediently, Minghao and Anki set up tables and chairs, Yumi hugged his right arm, and grandmother sat aside and took his left hand and chattered about many things, such as what happened in the yard. Wintersweet is already in bloom, and the faint fragrance makes people outside stop and look in; the dahlias are quite beautiful, but it’s a pity that it’s hard to bring them here now; the cineraria and crab claw orchids in the store grow very well, and they are specially pruned It’s a little bigger, and it’s just right to put in the room; the children next door always come to play in the yard, and ask why there are flowers blooming in winter...

"Hehehe."

"That's right~ they are really cute kids."

"Ok!"

Yukimura was very sorry to let the family eat Nian Yue noodles in the hospital full of the smell of disinfectant in the evening, but because it is a family, there are some feelings, just keep it in your heart.You don't have to apologize politely, and you don't have to say no to good intentions.

The family can tolerate his carelessness, self-willedness, and the existence that does not need to be considerate of each other's feelings.

The visiting time slipped by unknowingly, and the nurse on duty came to urge me several times.

"I'm fine, Mom, you still have to go to the shrine to pray for blessings?"

"I don't know if the bell can be heard here in the hospital?" Yumi knelt on the bed, embracing Yukimura's waist and refused to let go, "I will petition to let my brother 'biu~' get well soon!"

"Then leave it to Yumi." The little loli, who has the same hair color as Yukimura, specially dressed up at home because she was going to see her brother, which made Yukimura love her more and more. "I will also pray in the hospital."

After the four of them left, Yukimura kept looking at the departing figure under the street lamp by the window until he disappeared at the corner of the intersection.Maybe it was the illness, or the hospital was too depressing, the emptiness after the reunion made him a little sad, but he soon had no time to savor this "bitterness" carefully.

【minister! 】

[Red too? ] Yukimura did not expect Kirihara to contact him, he has a lot... want to say to this junior who has been caring for him for nearly a year, but it is just a thousand words, gathered into one sentence: 【Did you train well? 】

【ha?Of course, Minister! ] Kirihara puffed up his face at the other end, feeling that Minister Yukimura's first words in a few weeks were a bit unsightly. 【I want to be No.1 in the world.Lihai sophomore Ace! 】[Future Minister! ]

【It's awesome that Chiya is so confident. ] Yukimura elongated his tone, and Kirihara's relaxed tone made him feel more active.

[Hehe~ Minister, don't worry, I will tell the gods about the visit later, let the minister recover, and then hurry back to the tennis club! 】

【Hehe, okay, thank you Chiya. 】Yukimura Ying said a few words to the cheerful Kirihara, and ended the call.As soon as he put it down and let out a breath, the bell rang again.

【here it is......】

[Yukimura, wow——] Marui was leaning against the table, his seven-year-old second brother threw himself from behind and wrapped his arms around his neck, and his four-year-old third brother hugged his right leg. The voice from the phone was a bit messy. "Brother has something to do now, come play with you later, okay?"

"Speak up!"

"Hi, pull hook~"

There was a sound of footsteps dragging.

[Yukimura, are you alone in the hospital? 】

[It's okay, Dad and the others came here just now. 】

【I'm not afraid of your loneliness. 】I want to talk to you.Marui looked at the clock, and then at the dark sky outside the window. [I called you just now and the line is busy, is it Sanada? 】

[It's red. 】

【Hey, that guy has also learned to care? 】

【Hehe, Chi has also grown up. 】After Yukimura finished speaking, he realized his old father mentality. [So subtle. ]

[I think he just misses you too much. 】Marui took the opportunity to fight for the "Kanagawa-Tokyo round-trip permit". 【You don't even let us come to see you!It’s too much~] He didn’t even give them a chance to show concern.

【This... is not allowed...】

【Um? ! 】Is this agreed?

[Are you really thinking about training? ] Yukimura avoided the previous topic.

【...】

[Wentai...Come on, okay? 】

【Yukimura...I see. 】[I will concentrate on training and win every game for Lihai.In this case, you can also treat it with peace of mind, right? ]

[By the way, Yukimura, can you say a word? 】

[A word? 】

["Marui Bunta is a genius", that's it. 】Marui took out something from a drawer in the room.

【hehe. ] Yukimura readily agreed. [Marui Bunta is a genius, a tennis genius. 】

【ok.】

After hanging up the phone, Marui rolled on his bed. [ah~~~]

This time there was no call.Yukimura stared at the daffodil for a while by the bed, then got up and moved slowly to search in the tennis bag.A year ago, the gift from the "reckless" French brother on the opposite side of the clay court has been treasured by Yukimura.The brown-red in the green circle is separated by the two letters RG and the white diagonal band.Yukimura touched the mark embedded on the tennis ball, and placed it in the palm of his left hand.I don't know why, the little guy who used to feel that he could wrap it tightly with one hand, but now he tried but couldn't wrap it tightly.

Tennis got bigger?

The tennis ball got bigger!

Yukimura was lost in thought when the phone rang again, and he put the ball back into the tennis bag.

[This is Yukimura Seiichi. 】

【Yukimura.】There was some noise from the other end, but it was not loud. [Sorry, there is a party here, and there are a lot of people. 】

[It's okay, your voice is very clear. ] Yukimura raised the corner of his mouth. 【Have you eaten yet?Nianyue buckwheat. 】

【Ah...Sorry, I didn't get to visit your place...】

[It's not good to always apologize for the New Year's Eve, Sanada. 】

【......Um. 】Sanada held back the honorifics on his lips. [We will go to the temple to pray later, Yukimura, the coming year will be well. 】

[Thank you, Sanada. 】

Sanada, who has never spoken much, was unexpectedly talkative today. Not only the quasi-chosen ones, he was also ordered by Yukimura to stop coming. During the hospitalization, he only visited Yukimura three times, and at the end of the term, he sneaked in while Yukimura was sleeping.Yukimura is much thinner than when he was healthy, which makes Sanada very uncomfortable.The sickness is not a scarecrow in the dojo, he can't kill Yukimura......

Sanada's call caused Yukimura to irritate a lot, and after hanging up, the ringing kept ringing again.

[Hehehe, I feel that this night is not very deserted. ]

As soon as it was connected, Zhang Yang's flashy voice came. [It was Sanada's call just now. 】Talking for so long?

【Could you put your insight into the tennis ball a little bit? 】

【Ah, my uncle has the best insight in any aspect. 】

【Ah. ] Yukimura was noncommittal. 【Aren't you celebrating Christmas? 】

[It’s also New Year’s Eve, isn’t it? 】

【Hi hi. ] Yukimura is lying on the bed. [Why did you remember to call me? 】

【snort. 】Atobe's voice hinted that Yukimura didn't know good people. [My uncle was afraid that you would be alone in the hospital thinking about unglamorous things, so he specially called you. 】

【Then you don’t know me too well, it’s really sad~】

Atobe didn't panic because of Yukimura's aggrieved and sad tone. [This is the best. 】

[Atobe, you are really boring. 】

【You, Yukimura, are the only one who can label me as "boring". 】

【is it not OK? 】

【......up to you! 】 Atobe was still teased.

[Hehehe. ] Yukimura covered his mouth and laughed a few times, then became serious. [Atobe, when I have a chance, I will definitely fight with you. 】

[My uncle is waiting. 】

After greetings from Atobe, Yukimura lay down and fell asleep for a while, and woke up at eleven o'clock in the evening to observe the new year.This time it was Liu who called, and it was very accurate at a quarter past eleven.

[Jingshi, I wish you well-being. 】

[Congratulations on the new year, Lian Er. 】

Liu didn't bother Yukimura for too long, but simply mentioned the current situation of the tennis club with Yukimura, and expressed his concern by the way.Liu didn't say much about the rest.He didn't want Yukimura to worry about other things during treatment.Usually it is not easy to call Yukimura, but there is finally a reason for the big dark day, and his goal has been achieved.

[It was much smoother than last time.That's great. ]

At 11:30, Yukimura was reaching out to tease the green dodder sunflower in the vase, but he didn't expect someone to contact him.

[King Ni? 】

【Good luck, Yukimura. 】Nioh took Yagyu's share to make the phone call together. Yukimura is not very gentleman who disturbs the New Year too much. [There are so many people in the temple here. 】

[This is the new year. 】

【puri.】

Afterwards, King Ni kept chatting with Yukimura about some unnutritious words, and Yukimura was bored, so he was happy to cooperate with him.

[Yukimura, are you in good condition now? ] Nioh's inquiry is almost ready, and he starts to get to the point.

[Here comes the point. ] Yukimura has been guarding against Nioh's tricks for a long time. [I'm slowly getting better, I'll be back. 】[So you don't need to visit. ]

[Little kelp is always talking about you. 】[Chi also wants to see you very much. ]

[Chi Ye just called me, he said he would train hard and wait for me to return to the tennis club. 】

【…】King Ni was blocked twice and simply broke the jar. 【I want to go to Tokyo to see you. 】

【Have you beaten Genichiro, come to see me?Lihai's strength is paramount. 】

【Why? 】[Isn't it getting better?Why are you still rejecting us? ]

[...Wait for me to come back, okay? 】[I just don’t want to show you how weak I am, unable to do anything. How can such a person be the minister of Wang Lihai?How to walk ahead of you? ]

【Yukimura... okay. ] King Ni understood and compromised.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the bells in the temple rang together, echoing in the streets of large and small towns.Yukimura closed his eyes and prayed silently when he heard the loud bell ringing from afar.One hundred and eight strokes, may it clear away all his troubles, so that he can... one day set foot on the red soil of Roland Garros.

The author has something to say:

New Year, written just in time for the New Year.

I don't quite know the definition of abuse, how was the last chapter?Maybe it's because I know the final setting and you don't, so it feels different.

On the contrary, when I write about the detailed game, I need to substitute various things immediately, and I feel that I need to be precise.

It is impossible.I myself can understand the feeling of being abused (such as the BG article "Ash" by Wang Wang a long time ago, I saw it by chance, and I gave up the article early because of the abuse), if something made everyone depressed, I apologize.Or find Natsume-kun to heal. (Natsume-kun made me realize how low my tears are.)
