[Net King] Pilgrim

It's another autumn.

In the third year of Echizen Ryoma and Machida's marriage, a few days after the anniversary, the two finally had a holiday after half a busy day.

In three years, Echizen Ryoma has become more and more eye-catching in the world tennis world, and has already aspired to the world's number one throne in the second year of his career.

But it doesn't mean that he hasn't lost before, and there are times when his opponents overtake the points and relegate to the second or third place. After all, there are many people with extraordinary talents and extra hard work, and it is even more difficult to always stand at the top.But after being frustrated, he still actively adjusted, and then spared no effort to continue running forward.

During the vacation, Machida volunteered to accompany Echizen Ryoma to play tennis in the yard, but technically he was a sparring partner who had been working hard but was not yet qualified, and he didn't know who was sparring whom.

She just finished a few publicity shows before her vacation. In the past year or so, in addition to performing in musicals, she has also been preparing for her first CD single.

With her rich experience and systematic learning, she has accumulated a lot of money. In the first week after the CD was released, the sales volume jumped to No.2 on the Oricon list.

In the past few years, their careers have been on the rise, but the topic of children has also been talked about very early.

When he first got married, in his early twenties, Machida Kazu was not ready for a small life, so he discussed with Echizen Ryoma about having a child later.

It may be that he noticed her instinctive subtle emotions, he was silent for a moment, then hugged her and said, "It's okay, we are still young, we can wait a little longer." He patted her on the back lightly, and told her not to give up on him. Pressure, after all, is what they will face together in later life.

The sun was setting, and after playing for more than half an hour, Machida Kazu finally got a point from Echizen Ryoma, of course it was the result of his release...

She was so tired that she lay directly in the yard, smiled and reached out to him, "Pull me up."

Echizen Ryoma sneered, already accustomed to her behavior, took two steps forward, but wrapped one hand around her shoulder and the other through the bend of her leg, and directly picked her up from the ground.

The clothes of the two are not clean, so there is no need to dislike the other.

"Are you heavy?" He asked as he carried her into the room.

She flattened her mouth, "Yes...every vacation, I gain three catties."

He laughed, "Only three catties? More than that."

"...you let me down!"

Under Machida's angry eyes, Echizen Ryoma threw her directly into the bathtub in the bathroom...

Both of them didn't want to cook at night, so they went to a nearby restaurant that they often went to. They smelled a little of oily smoke. After eating and returning home, they went to take a shower again.

Before going to bed, Machida was lying on the bed and reading a book, and Echizen Ryoma was on the phone in the living room, confirming the training arrangement for the year-end finals with the coach.

After finishing the phone call quickly, he entered the bedroom and saw that she was already lying down, so he dimmed the remaining desk lamp.

In fact, Machida closed his eyes and didn't fall asleep for a long time, but he didn't feel sleepy after a day of exhaustion.Feeling the side of the bed sinking slightly, she turned her head and saw Echizen Ryoma lying down with his back against the head of the bed, still holding his mobile phone, as if checking some information.

She unconsciously stared at his profile for a moment, as if noticing her gaze, he turned his gaze, "Aren't you asleep yet?"

"Can't sleep... when are you going to London?"

The cool and soft tone in the night made Echizen Ryoma's heart tremble inexplicably, "Probably the day after tomorrow."

She nodded slightly, and said nothing, her gaze was still on his face.

They stared at each other for about three seconds, maybe less.

Echizen Ryoma suddenly put down the phone, lay down, and reached out to pull her into his arms.

From the beginning of the kiss, his breath was all in his breath, and when he realized it, his hand was already unbuttoning her pajamas.

He turned over, buried his head in the crook of her neck, and was about to open the drawer beside her, but she grabbed his hand.

"...No need." She whispered.

Echizen Ryoma was stunned for a moment.

Pressing against her forehead, her voice was hoarse, "...Have you made up your mind?"

She wrapped her arms around his neck, "Yeah."

In the past few years, their lives have gradually stabilized, and they are independent enough to consider adding a new member.

He smiled silently, wrapped his arms around her waist, and kissed her long and thin.

……

In the ATP Finals more than a month later, Echizen Ryoma successfully defended his title, and the moment the winning goal landed, the camera captured his wanton and proud smile.

After the game, he went to his team box, the coach, Cheryl, and everyone on the team smiled and said to him: "Congratulations!"

Echizen Ryoma inexplicably felt that their laughter was unpredictable, but he was only puzzled for a moment, and then said "Thanks".

However, he soon understood that the "congratulations" mentioned by this group of people had another meaning besides winning the championship for him.

Cheryl handed him his mobile phone, "Your mother called just now and rang twice. I was worried about something urgent, so I answered it for you." She paused, and her smile gradually widened, "Congratulations, Echizen , your wife is pregnant."

Echizen Ryoma was stunned for a few seconds, and after realizing it, he quickly picked up the phone and called his mother back.

Lunzi spoke sternly with a smile on his face: "If you have anything you want to say to Ah Yi, come back and tell her immediately. She will stay away from electronic products and cannot answer your calls."

Echizen Ryoma only felt that the joy brought by the championship just a moment ago was not worth the sudden news.

After "surviving" the award ceremony, he didn't care about all the follow-up interviews and activities, and he was not in the mood to care about it. He suspended all competitions and took the latest flight that Cheryl had booked for him in advance and went straight back to Japan.

When Echizen Ryoma arrived home, Machida Kazu was cooking borscht in the kitchen.

On the night when she was diagnosed as pregnant, she and Nanako's family had dinner at Minamijiro's house, but as soon as she sat at the table, she was made very uncomfortable by the smell of grilled fish, and then went to the bathroom to vomit.

Seeing her complexion, Lunzi worriedly took her to the hospital. When she was finally diagnosed with pregnancy, even she was a little confused.I informed my parents again, and the whole family was overjoyed.

As soon as Machida heard the urgent footsteps coming from the entrance, he put down the spoon in his hand, and just turned around, he was hugged by the man who had returned from the journey.

She smiled, "I went to the hospital last night, and I didn't finish the game, but I heard from sister Nanako that you won."

"Sorry, I came back a bit late." Echizen Ryoma let go of her, wanted to ask her if there was any discomfort, but suddenly paused, "...Did you cut your hair?"

He didn't notice until now that her long black hair had become shoulder-length, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood the reason.

"Yeah." She touched the back of her head, as if she wasn't used to it, "My hair is too nutritious, I just cut it off during the day."

"Actually, you don't have to worry about lack of nutrition."

"Ok?"

The corners of his mouth turned up, and he suddenly said confidently: "Because, I will raise you very well, you and our children."

Machida hesitated for a moment, then laughed.

But the next moment, she suddenly smelled something strange in the air, "...Ah! My soup is going to be mushy!"

Until the child was born in the next summer, the mother-to-be never entered the kitchen again...

In the change of seasons, time passes quickly but quietly.

Echizen Mibu's children have grown from only crawling when they were a few months old, to barely being able to walk unsteadily when they were one year old, and now at the age of four, at the age of kindergarten, they can already play and run wildly at home.

The little one is lively and clever, full of curiosity about everything around him.

When he was one year old, he liked to listen to Machida Ichi playing the piano. Every time he listened to it, he would grin and giggle. When he was two years old, he liked Echizen Ryoma’s tennis racket, but when the racket was baptized by his daughter’s saliva, he could only close his eyes. admit.

Echizen Ryoma announced his retirement in the second year after his daughter was born, and Machida gradually shifted his work focus from the front of the stage to behind the scenes, wanting to allocate more time to his family.

Weibu likes the small garden at home the most. He likes to see the process and law of the growth of all things. He is not afraid of getting his clothes and shoes dirty, let alone the various insects that appear in the soil from time to time. He is quite courageous.

In the afternoon, Echizen Ryoma was playing with Miho in the garden when he suddenly heard Machida Kazu's call from inside the house.

He hurried into the room, but saw her hiding on the side of a staircase, looking at him for help, "Yes, there are bugs..."

Seeing her frightened like this, he thought it was something terrible. After all, when she was tidying the garden, she was also terrified of encountering some "little creatures" and would often ask him for help.

As a result, I looked in the direction she pointed...

"...It's just a relatively big mosquito." He said helplessly, took a fly swatter, walked over and solved it.

Xiao Weibu, who was squatting in the garden counting rose petals, also hurried back to the house, only to realize that it was a false alarm, sighed, and said like a little adult: "Mom, you are too worrying."

Machida Kazu: "..."

Echizen Ryoma asked his daughter to play first, and then deal with the mosquitoes that could no longer fly. He glanced at Machida and said, "You are quite worry-free."

Machida snorted softly, making sure the surroundings were safe, went to the wall to pick up the mop, and continued mopping the floor.

Before dinner, she went to the garden to call the two to take a bath before eating.

Before he got down, he smiled and said to the flowers and plants, "I'll come see you tomorrow, good night."

Machida couldn't help but smile slightly behind him.

Echizen Ryoma went to take a bath first, and Machida led Mibu to the porch, and when he was about to enter the house, he saw her take off her socks in front of the door.

"Why are you taking it off now, why don't you take it off in the bathroom?"

Weibu said in a childlike voice: "Dad said, Mommy is very hard when cleaning, so I have to take care of hygiene as much as possible." After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "When I grow up, I can help you Cleaned up."

Machida was stunned for a moment.

Weibu struggled to hold the two dirty socks in his hands before stepping on the tatami in front of the door with his bare feet, and then dragged the person who was still in a daze and ran into the house, "Mom, let's go to the bathroom quickly, after taking a shower I'm going to eat, I'm so hungry."

The sun outside the house filled the sky, and the garden was surrounded by blooming flowers, scattered among the branches and leaves, rustling by the evening wind.
