Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

"Speaking of... at the end of that match, it was the same as your match against Kawasaki-kun a few days ago. You were mobilized by your opponent in a protracted battle and kept running around..."

Liu Quan was taken aback.

"So that day, when I saw your game, I thought: How embarrassing? I didn't expect you to encounter such a situation. It's ironic... I think the people who watched my game from the sidelines at that time also Is that what you think?"

Liu Quan was slightly taken aback, then shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Well, I think it doesn't matter if you are a little embarrassed when you meet a strong enemy? After all, no matter how embarrassed you are, victory is still victory?"

Atobe turned his head and stared at her in disbelief, as if he wanted to see evidence on her face that these words were just perfunctory; but her smile couldn't be more sincere, and he seemed to give up in the end, showing an unbelievable expression With an expression, he shook his head, with an expression of "ah, this guy has given up treatment", and turned his face back.

"Hey... you, when you were forced to the last moment in the game," he faced the dark water ahead, his voice was a little low. "Every time I was chasing and trying to save the ball in embarrassment, what were I thinking...what?"

Liu Quan looked up at Atobe in surprise, but only saw the lines of his beautiful profile outlined by the dim light of the street lamp behind them in the night.

She thought about it seriously, and replied truthfully: "...I want to win."

"At that time, I couldn't think of anything except the word 'winning'... I just thought that I didn't train hard and set foot on the field for failure, and I thought that I was supported so warmly by everyone. If I can't win If you do, will you be hated by everyone again..."

Atobe finally moved his already sitting stiff body, and repeated it questioningly. "……Everyone?!"

Liu Quan was a little embarrassed, hummed, and after thinking about it, he explained: "It's just the word 'everyone'. If you want to say whose name or face popped up in your mind, you don't remember at all... …Frankly speaking, at that time, I was so tired that my thoughts were completely blank, and the last thing left in my mind was how to find opportunities to use special skills to win… because I knew very well that my stamina was only barely enough It’s enough to support a big move, so we must make sure that this time is foolproof... Finally, I finally found that opportunity... It’s really, really great.”

After she explained her mental journey in a long-winded manner, Atobe was silent for a moment, and then snorted, as proof that she had heard it.

For some reason, Liu Quan suddenly remembered the scene where he yelled Tezuka's name at the end of the U-17 training camp against Irie Kanata, and couldn't help pursing his lips and laughing softly.

"Of course it's not like you, the score is 187 to 187, remember to complete the agreement with Tezuka-kun?" She added with a hint of narrowness.

Atobe suddenly turned to stare at her.

However, Liu Quan's eyes were shining brightly, and his face was full of righteousness and awe, "Ah, what a touching youth and friendship!" The expression made Mr. Atobe's previous anger that he didn't know where came from suddenly disappeared. disappeared.

Pausing for a moment, he propped his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and let out a long breath.

"...So that's it." The beautiful and charming magnetic voice has returned to the aria-like tone, and the short four syllables are enough to make the heart skip a beat.

"...At that time, Irie-kun once said a word in the battle—" He seemed to be reviewing the classic battle that was enough to change the color of the world, and then said suddenly.

"He said, 'It's you who is full of holes, Atobe-kun'."

Liu Quan was taken aback. "Eh?!"

Although it sounded like Atobe was just repeating what his opponent said, the subtle tone he used somehow made the heart beat a little faster.

... If it wasn't because they were about to part forever, she would probably ask "what's your weakness".

But now there is no need to ask any more.

Under the night, there was a faint smile on the corner of Atobe's lips.

"So, we couldn't completely win at that time."

He said in a calm and relieved tone, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"However, it won't happen now....My uncle will win every victory with dignity—as you said, even the embarrassing victory."

Liu Quan stared at his side face in amazement, and after a long time, slowly smiled.

"Yeah... because the winner is Ice Empress!" She raised her right fist and waved it in the air a few times, shouting softly like a member of Ice Empress' support team.

Then she paused for a while, and shouted the following slogan together, continued to wave her right fist twice, and then gave a hard pause in the air.

"The winner is Atobe!!"

Uncle Atobe was dumbfounded, and his face suddenly became colorful again in an instant, and his face was filled with the incredible feeling of "It's rare to be emotional for 1 minute, so I was disturbed by your snake spirit disease, can it be cured!?"

Liu Quan tilted his head and looked at him with a smile.

"I feel...less depressed now, Atobe SAMA?"

Atobe suffocated, held his breath for a second, and then said slightly annoyed: "Huh?!"

Liu Quan raised his head slightly towards the night sky where stars began to appear, and took a deep breath.

"Because what I'm going to say next... I don't know if it's bad news."

Jibu was taken aback. "bad news……?!"

Liu Quan's face was half hidden in the darkness of the night, and he smiled silently with the corners of his lips pulled up.

"I'm sorry....I actually want to say today that I have decided to go abroad to seek a cure for my injury."

Uncle Atobe fell silent for a moment, probably because he was suddenly bombarded by such news.

Liu Quan took the opportunity to say the lines he had thought up in one go.

"I don't want to give up so easily what I found so hard... Those talents, those opportunities... I really want to try it out, is there really no doctor in this world who can help me realize my wish? ...But, if I still can't heal my injury this time, then... I won't come back."

She lowered her head and said this sentence, and after a few seconds, she heard that nice voice ringing again.

"What are you... talking about? Huh?!"

Atobe's tone of voice still sounds calm, but Liu Quan, who has almost filled up the hidden option of familiarity with Atobe SAMA, subconsciously feels that his calm tone is a bit too dangerous.

But how else could she react.The truth is that simple and cruel.

Maybe just hide at home so quietly, and let the new Xin Yajiang who belongs to this world take over, so that you don't have to face such an embarrassing and sad scene.

But that's not the ENDING I want.

Even if it’s friendship ENDING, it’s up to you to start and finish well——

I can't bear it, the person who has nothing to do with these struggles, these sweats, these setbacks, these pains and joys, these expectations and palpitations, these pains and sweetness, accepts all of this without hindrance; and she is so quiet The earth disappeared, but no one knew--

"You... seem surprised?" She forced a smile and asked.

Uncle Atobe frowned, as if he was about to have a serious attack.

"Hearing this kind of thing suddenly...it's impossible not to be surprised at all! What did you say suddenly...going abroad, what dissatisfaction do you have with Japan?!"

Oh, that raised up the charming voice, it sounds even more gorgeous.

"Even if you're going to get medical treatment... there's no need to say that you will never come back if you can't get cured! Are you... are you planning to sever ties with your family?! With your father's personality, it is impossible to let you stay for the rest of your life." Overseas..."

Liu Quan smiled bitterly.

"Ah, that's why I'm already planning to take a leave of absence from Tokyo University. If this happens, my last bit of use value will probably disappear."

"From Dongda... suspend school?!" Uncle Atobe's voice became louder in an instant.

Perhaps this decision is too shocking, the expression on his face is simply indescribable.

Liu Quan continued to smile wryly, and said in a self-deprecating tone: "Ah...so I'm still the legendary paranoid + snake spirit, right? To bet on the slightest possibility of returning to the tennis world Abandoning everything for sex is a...crazy enough decision, isn't it?"

As she said so self-deprecatingly, her tone gradually became bitter.

"So, in the end, I'm still... a qualified snake spirit, right?"

Atobe's face sank, like the sky before it was about to be swept by a violent storm.

"...You want to go abroad, who else knows about it?" He asked in a deep voice.

Liu Quan was taken aback, then shook his head.

"No... just told you. Of course, the family will also tell, but not now..."

Tracebe was silent.

Under the night, his silhouette, which has grown into a youth, seems to be more handsome and resolute than in all previous photos and videos.He stretched his left leg flat, bent his right leg, put his left hand on the ground, and rested his right hand on his bent knee. He lowered his head slightly, as if he was in deep thought.

Liu Quan didn't dare to look at him, and sat there with his hands crossed on his lap, his fingers twisted into a ball like a spasm, his fingertips were cold, and his heart constricted.

Saying goodbye was harder and more painful than expected.But even so, she doesn't regret doing it.

"……why?"

After a long silence, Atobe finally spoke out.

In the quiet atmosphere by the water at night, there seemed to be the sound of wild insects coming from the lawn. It should have been a quiet and wonderful night.However, after asking that short question, the two of them fell into silence again, only the sound of each other's slightly heavy breathing echoed softly, showing that the two people who were talking were actually not at peace in their hearts.

Liu Quan paused for a moment before answering.

"Because...only love and tennis can't be let down?"
