[Net King] The continuation of the dream

Yeyue is windy and the sun is like fire.

The sound of tennis hitting and landing came one after another.Under the scorching temperature, a group of teenagers were sweating profusely.

This is the fifth day of the Lihai University Tennis Club.

Even Sunset and Xiwu, who doesn't like to sweat, can't help sweating profusely after completing a round of catching training-not to mention some guys who are afraid of light and heat, this kind of exercise is really a bit embarrassing .

Going to the shade of the tree, the young man from Kyoto, who was about to add some water, saw the white-haired boy leaning listlessly against the root of the tree, hunched over, looking pitiful... It was completely gone from the training just now. energy.

The action of drinking water at dusk and dusk stopped for a while—I don’t know why, Mr. Ren Wang is very afraid of the sun, but even so, in such a scorching hot summer day, the other party can still complete the training task seriously and perfectly——The companions all He is such a powerful person, so he dare not slack off a bit!

Suppressing his mixed thoughts, the young man from Kyoto turned around and walked to the other side, found his tennis bag, took out a folding umbrella from inside, and when he turned around to give it to a friend who needed shade, he saw another young man with purple hair holding an umbrella. Handed the umbrella to Masaharu Nioh.

Sunset and Xiwu unconsciously bent the corners of his mouth: Mr. Liusheng is indeed a gentleman. Although compared with the few lively guys, he seems taciturn and has a little less expression, but he is actually considerate and considerate, and he is very friendly to his companions.Especially when he was with Nioh-kun, perhaps because the two decided to form a doubles partner, the relationship between the two seemed closer than others.

Looking up at the sun where the flames were still raging, Nigiri took an umbrella and went to the one-year-old who was also taking a nap under the shade of a tree: "Kirihara-kun, maybe you can use an umbrella to cover it?"

Under the shade of the tree, there are still many spots of light scattered through the gaps between the branches and leaves.

"Eh?" Kirihara Chiya's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he didn't immediately take the umbrella handed by his senior. "Isn't it weird to open an umbrella on a sunny day? It's like a girl..."

"If you don't want Chi, just give it to me," a red-haired guy suddenly squeezed into the middle of the two of them, reached out and snatched the umbrella from Higaku Nigiri's hand and opened it, "Ooki-ni~Yuuki!"

Seeing his friend smiling brightly and imitating his usual accent, Sunset and Xiwu couldn't help chuckling.

The unsuspecting first-year student was startled: "Hey, Mrs. Wen, why did you suddenly appear again, and you always talk to yourself like this..."

Marui Bunta's response was to press down the head of the elementary school boy with his right hand without an umbrella, grinning, and rubbed that kelp-like curly hair vigorously.

Kirihara Chiya hummed in pain: "Quick, let go... I, senior!" What I got was a more "loving" touch from the senior, "Senior Higurashi, please help, help me push Senior Bunta away! .”

Sunset and Xigiri still smiled slightly, and had no intention of intervening: "Marui-kun and Kirihara-kun have such a good relationship."

"Who has a good relationship with him?!" The elementary school boy refused to admit it.

At the same time, the red-haired boy nodded with a smile: "Yeah, because Chi is also our cute little boy!"

"Ah, senior, let go quickly, or I, I will be impolite!"

"Yeah, Chiya is really full of energy!"

"Hehe—" The young man from Kyoto couldn't help laughing.

"I, I want to defeat you..." Kirihara Chiya bluffed and shouted slogans, and before he could finish his voice, he exclaimed, "Oh, take it easy, senior..."

Sunset and evening mist watched the youngsters' frolicking, turned around and unintentionally glanced at the Brazilian teenager who was staring at Marui Bunta and Kirihara Akaya, noticed the other's expression, and felt a little funny in his heart: Kuwahara-kun seems to have something to do with this look. Kind of the loss of a child being robbed of a playmate...

"Kuwahara-kun, I've had enough rest and I'm ready to continue training. Do you want to come together? I'm missing a partner."

——Different from official competitions, in addition to personal basic training, many events are practiced by everyone in rotation with different partners.

Hearing the sound, Jack Kuwahara looked at the young man from Kyoto who was watching him with a smile, and then nodded after a moment of silence: "I've rested too, let's go together, Higurashi."

"Hai, please give me your advice."

On this side, the two people were moving about, and the deputy minister's loud voice came from the other side.

"...You guys are all slacking off!"

"Deputy Minister, we just finished training and just took a rest."

I don't know if he has listened to everyone's explanations, Genichiro Sanada sternly taught with a dark face: "Everyone listen carefully, our final battle is about to usher, and we must not relax at this last moment!"

"Hehe, you have a lot of fighting spirit, Sanada." The minister cut in abruptly with a gentle and laughing voice.

After a moment of silence, Sanada Genichiro spoke again: "...We have no dead ends in Lihai Junior's third consecutive championship! Immediately, give me training!"

"Hai, hai~"/"Got it, Deputy Minister."

The red flames are high, the heat is fumigated, and the special training for tennis teenagers is going on in full swing.

Listening to the familiar and inspiring slogans of the vice minister, and feeling the dedication and enthusiasm of his companions in tennis, Sunset and Xiwu only felt that his heart was as hot as the sun of this month.

In a venue of limited size, two people who form a group practice on one side.

The young man from Kyoto raised his head slightly, but his eyes seemed to be half-closed. He held a racket in one hand and a tennis ball in the other, and reminded the person opposite: "It's about to start, Kuwahara-kun."

Jack Kuwahara immediately put on a ready attitude.

The practice of this game looks no different from the situation in the school tennis club.

In fact, the goal of special training is to achieve effective results of strengthening and improving, which is naturally different from regular training.Just like the current duel between Sunset and Xiwu and Jack Kuwahara, the venue is uneven and slightly sloped mountainous ground.Undoubtedly, under such circumstances, it is extremely difficult for teenagers who are used to standard tennis courts to return every ball normally.

In addition, miniature spring pads are scattered randomly in the field. Once the ball falls on it, the bouncing force, angle, ball path, etc. will be forcibly changed, so that every ball should be returned with caution, and every return of the ball should be done carefully. The effect is more unpredictable.

This is just one of the special training programs in the past few days.

For example, on the first day of special training with multiple balls and multiple goals on the slippery rocks in the stream, or to strengthen physical fitness in the water flow with a certain impact, or to climb mountains with heavy loads, run for several kilometers off-road, and even more so when there are many traps batting practice without...

On the surface, the specially trained teenagers inevitably complain occasionally, but in fact they never tire of training to improve their own strength.

And this kind of high-intensity and unique exercise, according to the data analysis of the military division, the results are undoubtedly effective-speed, physical fitness, endurance, strength, agility and skills have all been improved-there is reason to believe , after this period of special training, and then take advantage of the opportunity of the upcoming national conference to sharpen, the strength of several second-year students will definitely be able to enter the country from a quasi-national level close to the national level, and finally collectively reach the undoubted national level tennis hand.

Closer to present.

Daily training takes ball scoring.In the end, the penultimate and second last will still be punished.

In view of the culinary skills of the teenagers who were "terrified" on the first day, everyone unanimously agreed to cancel the punishment for cooking, and instead wash socks and sneakers, clean the room, and wash dishes after meals.

Except for the mistakes made on the first day, Ri Mu Xi Wu was fortunately not punished again... I have to say that he, like everyone else, would rather choose to cook.However, after these days of intensive training, he feels more and more admiration for the minister who can think of such a unique training method and formulate such a special training task list...

——That's it, follow the footsteps of Yukimura Seiichi, do your best and go all out, and one day you may be able to climb that unknown peak that people look up to!

After the first stage of practice in the mountains in the afternoon, because Yanagi Renji said that there might be heavy rain in the evening, Minister Yukimura Seichi issued an order that everyone take their tennis bags and follow several planned routes for a limit of four. Within 10 minutes, run to the hotel where they are staying.

It has to be said that in terms of physical fitness and endurance alone, Ri Mu Xi Wu has an advantage over most of the players in the tennis club - thanks to his training in archery since he was a child, and his martial arts learning since he was a child.

When he ran back to the hotel, only Genichiro Sanada was one step ahead of him.

"Oh, what a pity, I lost to Sanada and Xiao Xi again." The third person to reach the finish line was the minister.

Sanada Genichiro said with a straight face: "Yukimura, strengthen your physical fitness. And Higurashi, you too."

Sunset and Xiwu certainly said nothing: "Hai, I will, Vice Minister."

Yukimura Seichi chuckled, folded his arms in front of him: "The requirements are still so strict, Sanada."

Genichiro Sanada let out a "hmm", raised his hand and pressed the brim of his hat: "Never relax!"

Sunset and Xiwu heard the deputy minister's mantra, and couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth. He suddenly thought of something, turned around and entered the room, and walked out after a while, passing two wet towels over: "Minister, deputy minister, wipe your sweat with a clean towel Bar."

Depending on the situation, they plan to wait here until everyone returns before going in.

Genichiro Sanada thanked him earnestly.

Yukimura Seiki took the towel with a leisurely smile: "Xiao Xi is very virtuous!"

Sunset and evening mist: "..."

——Yukimura-kun sometimes uses strange words.Thinking back a little, he remembered that the mandarin score of the other party was very good.

10 minute later.

Except for Akaya Kirihara, everyone arrived at the hotel within the specified time limit.After a while, everyone realized that something was wrong.

"That guy...isn't he lost?"

"No way? It's not the first day he came here. He was running around by himself two days ago, and he didn't get lost?"

"Call and see."

"Oh, it's not good, Chi Ye's mobile phone can't get through... Could he still be in the mountains and have no signal?"

"The signal on the mountain is sometimes intermittent," Liu Lian'er said, "but it doesn't mean that there is no signal at all."

"Still can't get through..."

Yukimura Seiichi frowned: "That guy..."

Marui Fumta stared wide-eyed: "Isn't it really lost?"

"I can't tell," Nioh Masaharu interjected, "Advisor, there should be no tigers in the mountains here, right?"

"No." Liu Lian Er shook her head slightly, and then added, "But there are some beasts...not completely without danger."

"Akaya's cell phone is turned off." Jack Kuwahara said worriedly.

"Is something going to happen?" Yagyu Hilushi pushed his glasses, "It's almost evening, why don't you go find it separately."

Ri Mu Xi Wu followed and nodded in agreement: "Didn't it mean that there might be a torrential rain? It's not safe for Kirihara-kun to be alone in the mountains. It's better to find him sooner."

The teenagers were divided into several groups and followed several routes down the mountain to find the lost elementary school students... In order to prevent the situation of being separated again, everyone brought a mobile phone and guaranteed to be able to talk at any time.

The days are long in summer, and the sun at four or five o'clock is still as hot as a fire. It is the hot and dry time of the year, and there is almost no breeze, and there is a little anxiety on the face.

At dusk and at dusk, the footsteps of the fog are brisk, walking in the mountain forest with overgrown vegetation and intertwined branches.

Suddenly, the mobile phone rang like the ding-dong of water.

"Higura, Chiya has been found."

"Kirihara-kun, is everything alright?"

"It's okay..." The voice on the other side of the microphone seemed to be holding back a trace of emotion, "He said that he was hungry and wanted to go to a nearby canteen to buy some food, but he couldn't find his way back."

Ri Mu Xi Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly, "It's fine at last, it's good."

The person over there was silent, and immediately responded: "... also." His tone changed, "You come back too, it looks like it's going to rain."

"Ah. I see."

After hanging up the phone, Ri Mu Xi Wu looked up at the sky.

——Sure enough, when he was talking to Liu Lianer, the original Lang Ri cleared the sky and piled up layers of dark clouds at a very rapid speed.

Stuffing the phone into his pocket, the boy turned around and pressed Shilu and started to run quickly.

The umbrella I lent to Empress Dowager Marui never came back, so I must hurry up... Otherwise, the way down the mountain will be very inconvenient after this heavy rain, and it will be even more dangerous if there is thunder.

Fortunately, at his speed, it would take about twenty minutes to run.

As long as the rainstorm is not within these ten minutes...

Raindrops, drop by drop, stars falling.

After a few seconds, it gradually became denser.

Raindrops as big as peas poured down from the sky.

The young man was fast and galloped through the rain, but he still couldn't match the speed of the rain. In a short while, most of the khaki sweatshirt was wet.

The rain in summer comes violently, and often goes away in a hurry.Fortunately, the rainstorm was not accompanied by thunder and lightning.So when I changed my mind, I changed the direction under the fog at dusk and evening, and within a minute, I saw a small wooden pavilion for tourists to rest beside the downhill road.

There is a person standing in the booth.

The young man from Kyoto subconsciously stopped in his tracks.

"It's Xiao Xi," the blue-haired boy turned to look over, and said with a smile, "Why are you alone?"

Sunset and evening mist quickly stepped into the wooden pavilion: "The route I took with Liu Jun had several forks, so we separated to find Kirihara-kun." Both he and Liu Jun believed in the other party's ability and would not show up. The case of getting lost.

"What about you, Minister?"

It stands to reason that Genichiro Sanada should be in a group with this person.

"The situation is the same as yours." Yukimura Seichi explained, "I heard that Chi couldn't find his way, and his mobile phone was dead. Fortunately, he got Sanada's number correctly, so he borrowed the store's phone for help."

"Is that so?" Sunset and Xiwu suddenly realized.

Yukimura Seiichi snorted lightly: "The guy who will cause trouble..."

The young man from Kyoto smiled lightly: "Kirihara-kun is always full of energy, looking at it makes me feel very motivated."

Yukimura Seichi didn't make any comments, and Shul raised his hand to pat the young boy with misty hair.

"...Yukimura-kun?"

"It's all wet by the rain, isn't it uncomfortable?"

"what."

Ri Mu Xi Wu took out a bag of handkerchiefs from his pocket, took out one of them and handed it to the other party first: "Yukimura-kun also has rain on his face, maybe it would be better to wipe it off too?"

"Thank you, Xiao Xi."

Sunset and Xiwu shook his head slightly, stopped talking, took out the handkerchief, patted the water droplets off his hair, and then wiped it carefully.

The young man who was seriously arranging his appearance heard a suppressed low laugh at this moment, subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the source of the sound, stopped the movement of his hands, and looked puzzledly at Lan, whose shoulders were trembling slightly, as if he was holding back a laugh. Fat boy.

"Are you okay, Yukimura-kun?"

"...cough, um." Seiichi Yukimura cleared his throat, and finally suppressed his smile, then he stretched out his hand again, and gently touched the young man in Kyoto's cheek.

Ri Mu Xi Wu was startled, and subconsciously took a step back.

Yukimura Seiichi looked at him innocently, spread his palms in front of him, and said with a smile, "The tissue got on your face."

Only then did Ri Mu Xi Wu notice the scraps of paper on the fingertips of the blue-haired boy—no wonder the other party just smiled inexplicably—suppressing the restlessness in his heart, he took a deep breath, and said, "Thank you."

Unexpectedly, Yukimura Seiichi laughed again.

Ri Mu Xi Wu was stunned, and unconsciously stretched out his hand to touch his cheek carefully: "Is there still confetti on my face?"

"No." The blue-haired boy denied it with a smile.

It was silent at dusk and dusk: Although he, a minister, usually greets people with a smile, it is not like this... In the words of my sister Qianliang, it is like eating a laughing bean.

"Hey, Xiao Xi..."

"what?"

"You're blushing."

Sunset and evening mist: "..."

——In fact, he didn't feel it at all, but it suddenly occurred to him that... he touched his face with Yukimura-kun's fingers earlier, and for some reason, that piece of skin seemed to be electrified, so that his heartbeat was chaotic at that moment Pat... Although he is used to avoiding physical contact with people, this feeling is really strange.

So, Yukimura Seichi saw that the young man from Kyoto who was only blushing before now had red ears, and suddenly laughed even more happily: "Yeah, I didn't expect Xiao Xi to be so shy!"

"..."

The wooden pavilion is not too spacious, because of the wind, so the two sheltering from the rain try to stand in the center, and the distance between the two inevitably gets closer.

There is a big storm, the vegetation is closed, the world is noisy and lively, and the small pavilion is quiet and peaceful.

After Yukimura Seichi finished laughing, Higurashi Yugiri spoke calmly and asked, "Everyone should have returned to the hotel safely."

Yukimura Seichi didn't intend to expose the other party's intention to change the subject, and nodded back: "Those guys didn't run too far, it's okay to get back before it rains... Even if it doesn't make it in time, it doesn't hurt, except for the two of us, they should all have umbrellas .”

"Why doesn't Yukimura-kun bring an umbrella?"

"It's a good experience to learn from the ancients once in a while and experience the artistic conception of 'Xia Shiyu'." The blue-haired boy replied with a smile.

"...Maybe it's better not to get wet in the rain, because if you're not careful, you'll get a cold."

"Isn't Xiao Xi accompanying you?"

Higurashi and Xiwu sighed softly in his heart: I don't know whether what Yukimura-kun said is true or not, but sometimes this person is not only childish, but also very willful.

A torrential rain lasted as expected, and it didn't last too long. After waiting for about half an hour, the rain stopped. Although there were still a little rain, it didn't affect the two teenagers on their way at all...Anyway, It's only a ten-minute walk away.

On the way, there were naturally many conversations, and of course the most talked about was tennis and the upcoming national conference.

"...Being left alone, Kirihara-kun will be sad, right?"

"That guy still needs to be disciplined."

Sunset and Xiwu didn't say anything more, after all, he was just an ordinary member of the tennis club, and it was not suitable for him to ask the minister about management and arrangements.

"Speaking of Kirihara-kun, yesterday he used the 'Red Eye State' again...Although he has been trying to control it, there is still no fundamental solution." The young man in Kyoto couldn't help worrying.

"Current Chi Ye, relying on self-control alone is not enough, it needs a thorough awareness."

"Enlightenment...?" Ri Mu Xi Wu murmured, looking thoughtful.

Finally made it back to the hotel smoothly.

Sure enough, everyone has already returned, except for Higaku Yegiri and Yukimura Seichi, who were hit by heavy rain halfway.

After tossing back and forth, it seems that the sky that is still brewing with a new round of precipitation has gradually darkened... Fortunately, it was a false alarm. After they "ravaged" a pass, under the joint statement of the smiling minister and the black-faced deputy minister, they took over the cleaning task for the last two days... Protests are invalid!

Sunset and evening mist, whose clothes were drenched, said hello to his companions and went to take a hot bath—even in the summer, it is still possible to get sick after being exposed to rain and blowing wind for half an hour, not to mention that he always Take care of your physical health.

Then I went to the kitchen and made ginger soup by myself.

Yukimura Seiichi looked at the glass in front of him, and was a little confused: "Is this... for me?"

The smell and color of the soup in the glass reminded him involuntarily of the catastrophic existence in his memory: dry juice.He thought that before Liu was inspired by his childhood sweetheart, he would not have to worry about his taste being poisoned for the time being... In this respect, even the young man who is called the Son of God has to admire the genius of Qingxue .

"Ginger soup," Ri Mu Xi Wu thought that the other party didn't understand the purpose of this cup of soup, "drinking it after raining can dispel wind and cold."

"It's troublesome for Xiao Xi," Yukimura Seichi's expression returned to normal, "But Xiao Xi also got caught in the rain, so you should drink it yourself."

Sunset and Xiwu replied, "I've already drunk it."

"..."

Seeing the Minister's silence, Ri Mu Xi Wu probably guessed something, and explained embarrassingly: "The taste is a bit strange, but it is quite effective." He is quite confident in this point, and the witnesses are all members of his family.

Yukimura Seiichi stared at the dark soup silently: "It seems that ginger is not just added in it?"

Ri Mu Xi Wu nodded: "There are some other ingredients, such as..." A series of terms that the other party was familiar with or unfamiliar with.

"These things... shouldn't be in the kitchen?"

"Ah. Because I knew in advance that I would sleep out for a few days, I prepared some with me."

At this time, Ri Mu Xi Wu of course understood that the other party didn't want to drink ginger soup at all. With his temperament, he shouldn't force others to be difficult, but the other party is his friend, and he couldn't help but want to care: "If you don't want to drink... ..."

"This stuff looks bad. If I drink it, will Xiao Xi have any compensation?" Yukimura Seichi suddenly asked with a smile.

Ri Mu Xi Wu was stunned: "Compensation?"

"For example, beat my legs or something."

After hearing this, the young man in Kyoto immediately felt relieved, without any hesitation: "Yes."

He agreed quickly, but the other party was silent.

After a while, Yukimura Seiki shook his head helplessly, and sighed softly: "Xiao Xi's behavior always makes me feel like I'm bullying someone!"

Obviously this person is doing it for his own good—in fact, with his character, if he doesn't want to, he won't bear to reject this kind of "for my own good" behavior, but... suddenly there is nothing he can do about the other party.

Sunset and Xiwu looked at him suspiciously.

The blue-haired boy smiled and didn't say any more. He directly picked up the cup and drank the full-bodied ginger soup in one gulp: "The taste is really weird."

—It smells weird and tastes even weirder.The taste in it is not inferior to the nutritional juice developed by Liu Lianer at all.

"...Sorry." Ri Mu Xi Wu was a little embarrassed.

Yukimura Seichi asked with interest: "Is there any more soup?"

"No more." Sunset and Xiwu replied.After all, it's just a few days out, even if you bring ingredients with you, you won't bring too many.

Yukimura Seichi was a little regretful: "It's a pity, I originally thought, let everyone have a taste!"

Sunset and Xiwu: "..." He probably understood the intention of his head.
