[Comprehensive] Kazuya's happy life

"lotus?!"

Being hugged suddenly, Kazuya was startled, and then subconsciously wanted to move away, but suddenly a whisper belonging to Tsuruga Lian came from his ear, but his movements couldn't help but pause...

"Don't move! Don't move... please, just like this... just a moment..."

——That was a fragile and pleading tone that Kazuya had never heard even when he was listening to the other party pouring out his heart.

Before today, he could never have imagined the tone he would hear from Tsuruga Lian.

So I couldn't help but feel weak in my heart. Driven by an inexplicable emotion, I silently obeyed the other party's wishes, stopped struggling, and obediently let the other party hug me stiffly and at a loss...

After a while, he felt that the person hugging him was no longer trembling slightly. Kazuya, who had no idea what was going on, carefully raised his hand and patted Tsuruga Ren's shoulder, trying to soften his voice:

"Lian? Are you okay? What happened?"

Why are your emotions so out of control?

It's okay if he didn't ask, but when he asked, Tsuruga Ren, who had gradually relaxed, froze again when she heard that, her hands that had been relaxed just now subconsciously clasped Kazuya's shoulders tightly again. , using a stronger force than before, pressing him deeper into his arms...

Kazuya: "..."

I, did I ask something that shouldn’t be asked⊙﹏⊙‖

This kind of feeling of going in completely without knowing it, and being careful and careful, but in the end, if you ask, you still touch the minefield...

It's really embarrassing.

He sighed silently.

The two of them kept the position of one hugging and the other being hugged in a stalemate (not) for a long time. When it was so long that Kazuya was a little suspicious that Tatsu might come out to find someone if it continued like this, Tsuruga Lian finally had a hard time. With a sigh in his ear, as if she had made up her mind, she slowly let go of the arms around him.

Kazuya: "..."

What's the situation?

Always feel a little scared.

Fortunately, this time Tsuruga Lian didn't frighten him any more.

He just took two steps back slightly, and then, with the help of the dim light of the door lamp, he carefully looked at Kazuya, going up and down back and forth, until he looked away uncomfortably. After finally confirming what was the same, the whole person was completely relaxed...

"Fortunately...you're fine."

"...huh?" Kazuya was startled again by his thankful whisper. "Lian, what are you talking about, what can I do..."

Tsuruga Lian sighed slightly when she saw him still looking out of the situation.

"Guess you don't know yet."

While saying something that made Kazuya feel even more inexplicable, he took out the phone from his pocket, tapped it a few times, and handed it to Kazuya.

The latter reached out and took it in a daze.

As a result, as soon as he moved his gaze down to the screen, He was startled by the sensational and huge news headline——

"Surrender Your Life to Save People!"The talented pitcher nearly died in the car! "

"This is……"

Vaguely guessing the content of this report, Kazuya quickly scrolled down the page, but the consequences were unexpected. In the pictures accompanying the news, he saw the familiar intersection and the crying child in his mother's arms...

"...It is reported that Mr. O, who is two years old this year, ran out of the road while his mother was not paying attention, in order to pick up a ball that fell on the ground."

"Pedestrians who witnessed this scene said that Mr. O's action of rushing out of the road was so sudden that even if the driver of the truck loaded with goods deliberately reversed the direction, he would not be able to react in time. Uesugi Kazuya-kun, a talented high school baseball pitcher, stepped forward at a critical moment. Perhaps at that time, O-kun, who was only two years old, would be crushed under the wheel and die..."

"'Oh, the situation at that time was really dangerous! If the boy's reaction was a few seconds slower, maybe at least one of the two people would not have survived safely.'——Mr. A, who was fortunate to witness the whole process of the incident, said to Reporter said."

"He was also the first eyewitness to recognize Uesugi-kun."

"'Because he's wearing Mingqing's team uniform!'——When asked how he was sure that the other party was Uesugi-kun, Mr. A replied with some pride, 'Mingqing is now the pride of our region. ! If you win today’s final, you will enter Koshien for the first time in history! Everyone is paying attention to them!'”

"According to the testimonies of Mr. A and several other witnesses at the scene, the reporter learned that after the incident, Uesugi-kun left the scene with his twin brother very quickly, but his walking posture seemed a little strange at that time, perhaps because he was injured when he was saving people." Injured?"

"However, today is the final of the Tokyo Regional Preliminaries of the Summer Koshien Tournament! I hope Uesugi-kun's injury is not serious, so that he can successfully complete this important competition."

"Let us bless this kind and brave boy together."

"........."

"Uh……"

Seeing the last part of the report, Kazuya was immediately embarrassed.

Yes, the way he walked when he left the scene may indeed look a little strange to others.

But that's because!He was dragged by Tatsuya and left the scene at a fast pace. Under such circumstances, he didn't adapt to the fast pace at the beginning, so his steps seemed a little staggered, and it was definitely not because he was saving people What kind of injury did you get in the process!

The imagination of the group of uncles and aunts who witnessed the whole incident is really...

He also had a dumbfounding look on his face.

Handing the phone back to Lian who still had a dignified expression on the other side, he finally understood the reason for the other side's abnormal behavior before.

"I'm fine, Lian."

With a bright smile on his face, he raised his head slightly, looking directly at Tsuruga Lian:

"Neither was hit by a car nor injured - not even a little bruise, and the way he left was a bit strange because my brother..."

He roughly explained the situation at that time.

"Anyway, I'm really fine. Sorry for worrying you."

While speaking, he took the initiative to step forward and gave Tsuruga Lian a big hug:

"I really didn't expect to be reported by the media... Otherwise, I would have reported you and Ryota's safety as soon as possible... Ugh!"

Speaking of this, Kazuya suddenly realized that if Ren Tsuruga was so worried about him because he read the report, and even ran to his door to confirm his safety at this time, then maybe Kise's side is now Still worrying about him...

After making an apologetic gesture to Tsuruga Ren, Kazuya took out his cell phone, pulled out Kise's number and quickly dialed it.

The communication tone only rang once and was immediately connected by the other side. Before Kazuya could speak, Kise's cheerful laughter came from the opposite side:

"Kazuya? Why did you think of calling me? I thought you were too busy celebrating your victory, and you wouldn't be free until the evening—that's right, congratulations on winning the game! Now you can finally set foot on the grounds of Koshien ~I'm very happy~"

"Uh... yes..."

The friend's painting style was obviously different from his imagination, which made He Ye a little dazed for a while, and his reply was quite delayed.

Fortunately, Kise who was on the opposite side didn't think there was anything wrong with him, and he was still talking cheerfully:

"Speaking of which, the last inning was really thrilling! I got goosebumps! I thought that Nitta would hit your last ball! Fortunately, he still swung an empty bat in the end... and ah... "

"........."

"...Kazuya?"

Balabala said a lot, but found that there was no reply for a long time, Kise realized that something was wrong with Kazuya, and called him suspiciously.

Kazuya has also adjusted his emotions at this time.

"I'm fine, Ryota." There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "I was afraid that you would be worried when you saw the specious descriptions in a previous report about my rescue in a car accident, so I wanted to call you to report Safety……"

"Ah... you said that?" Kise reacted and breathed a sigh of relief, "I was really worried at the time, and I was thinking about the game soon, what would you do if you were really injured or something happened to you? That's good, but soon the live broadcast of the game on TV will start, and seeing you sitting on the player bench as if nothing happened, I know you must be fine! So don't worry!"

—He wasn't frightened!

"That's it..." Kazuya's tone was a little relaxed and stunned, "That's good. If this is the case, please tell Heizi and the others for me, and say that I'm fine and I didn't suffer any injuries. If you are free another day, everyone Come out and get together? It feels like I've been swaying around

"There's nothing wrong with Xiao Heizi and Xiaolu... but Xiao Akashi, Xiao Ziyuan, and Xiao Qingfeng..."

"The two who are not in Tokyo can't help it. Aomine-kun's side...for the sake of Kuroko, let's forget it. Isn't it good for the four of us?"

"That's right. Then I'll call Little Heizi now~"

"Well, bye bye, Ryota."

"Bye-Bye."

And also hung up the phone.

He turned his head and looked up at Tsuruga Lian with some doubts:

"Ryota said that because I watched the live broadcast of the finals on TV soon afterward, and saw that I was safe and sound in the live footage, so..."

That guy didn't have to worry about anything anymore.

What's your situation, Lian?Don't you even want to watch the live broadcast to confirm his safety?

"..." Tsuruga Lian smiled wryly.

How would he tell Kazuya that the report he saw at first was not the one he just called up on his phone, and it seemed to be... um, the mild one?

The first report he saw about Kazuya and the car accident was in the noon news on TV. Because of the traffic jam caused by the car accident, the scene was very chaotic. The crying of children and the discussion of the crowd unconsciously It aggravated the tension and worry in the hearts of viewers who watched the report in front of the TV.

Afterwards, after it was revealed that the rescuer was the rising high school baseball star Kazuya who is currently receiving much attention, the host also very sensationally praised Kazuya for his quality of "sacrificing oneself to save others", and interviewed several The most excited-looking witnesses at the scene, more than half of them, said with certainty, "The child must have suffered serious injuries and walked with a limp..." or, "Maybe the child was injured at the time." He was still hit by a car or rubbed against him, just for the sake of waiting for the game later, he refrained from saying..."

Tsuruga Ren felt like her heart was going to explode.

He tried desperately to restrain himself, so as not to burst out the strong negative emotions that had piled up in his chest in front of his partner in the lounge.

He can't wait to leave there immediately, run to the stadium, and confirm Kazuya's safety with his own eyes. However, this afternoon's work is not only for him, but also for President Baotian and lme. His cooperation partner is Hollywood actor Fernando, who came to Japan specially to promote his new film, arranged a filming task for the afternoon, with Lian Lai as a guest host, and had a talk with him about the similarities and differences of Japanese and American movies, his views on this country, and of course, the promotion of his new film. The special dialogue between actor vs. actor, if he runs away temporarily, the whole project will be completely ruined, and even an entertainment giant like lme may not be able to bear the consequences...

Therefore, he had to strictly control his emotions. He could neither leave the shooting scene to confirm the safety of Kazuya, nor bring any negative emotions such as worries and fears into the shooting task in the afternoon.

Therefore, Kazuya would not know that Tsuruga Ren, who drove to Uesugi's house as soon as the mission was over, and even forgot to confirm his safety through other means, appeared in his own body when he opened the door. In front of you, at that moment, what surged in my heart was a warm emotion of gratitude and ecstasy...

At that moment, he didn't even bother to cover up any more, and almost completely exposed his feelings...

--Yes.

After experiencing this incident, he finally couldn't continue to deceive himself and others.

The president was right.

He likes and also.

I like it very much.
