[Net King] The Star of the Palm

Kuranosuke Shiraishi chuckled, "I'm just kidding."

Lin Xinglan pretended to be serious: "Me too."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the others looked at each other inexplicably, what happened?

The competition went smoothly, and Sitianbaosi went forward bravely all the way.Lin Xinglan also saw Kintaro Toyama's beast-like skills on the court, and he deeply thought that it was very wise for him to show him the comic book!

This child is too fearless, and if no one suppresses it, something may really happen.

Lin Xinglan took advantage of the rest time to call Oishi Shuichiro and asked about the situation of the youth competition.

Oishi Xiuichiro was a little surprised when he received the call: "Xinglan, where are you? The coach said you went to recuperate. How is your health?"

Lin Xinglan: "It's ready, I'll be back soon. How was the game?"

"I thought you'd ask Tezuka, and he's usually the closest to you." Oishi Shuichiro chuckled twice, "There's nothing to say about the competition, and everyone worked hard. But...Momojo and Echizen volunteered to play doubles because of their bravado. , Although I won, it was too embarrassing to win, and I was punished by the coach to kneel. The others played normally, and it was not Tezuka's turn to play. It was the final in the afternoon, and it was a game against a school that I didn't know much, so it was called Fudo Peak."

Lin Xinglan nodded: "I wasn't there during that...important match, I'm sorry."

Oishi Shuichiro: "It doesn't matter, Qingxue has been going to the whole country, and there will be more and more important games, as long as you don't miss other games."

"Ah."

Towards the evening, the regional qualifiers in Osaka ended, and Shitenpoji won the championship without any surprise.Lin Xinglan called again to inquire about the result, this time to Tezuka Kunimitsu.

Tezuka Kunimitsu's answer was straight-forward: "Aigaku is the champion of the Seishuntai regional qualifiers. The competition went well, but both Kawamura and Echizen were injured. The injuries are not serious. They are fine now."

Lin Xinglan breathed out: "Don't gasp when you speak, you'll scare me to death, as long as you're fine. But shouldn't we go to the temple to pay respects, why are people always getting hurt?"

Tezuka Kunimitsu: "...It is normal for athletes to get injured."

Lin Xinglan smiled: "Yes."

She thought of Tezuka Kunimitsu's arm and fell silent.

Tezuka Kunimitsu was silent for a moment: "When will you be back?"

Lin Xinglan said softly, "Soon."

Taking a rare break, Lin Xinglan stayed in Osaka for a few more days before returning to Tokyo, and stopped by Mr. Fujiwara.

This time, all the members of Sitianbao Temple went to the station to see them off. Toyama Kintaro was very reluctant to let go. He held Lin Xinglan's arm and did not let go, speaking in a fluent Kansai dialect: "Wait, Xinglan, the Lun family is not good at you. You Isn't it Yin from our school, why don't you stay, the Lun family still wants to go to the manga house with you!"

The silly boy didn't realize until now that Lin Xinglan was the culprit behind his fear of Baishi's arm.

Lin Xinglan ravished his red hair with a smile: "I'm going back to school. Anyway, Sitianbaosi is so strong, I will definitely enter the national competition. When you go to Tokyo, I will entertain you to play with me!"

Kintaro Toyama jumped excitedly: "Okay, okay! It's a deal!"

Lin Xinglan turned to the others: "Thank you for taking care of me these past few days. Mr. Baishi, thank you for me, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Everyone was used to Lin Xinglan's frequent absence from class, but they were still very happy that she came back.

Eiji Kikumaru asked curiously: "You always cut classes, does your mother know?"

Lin Xinglan looked indifferent: "I know, it was my mother who encouraged me to skip class."

Eiji Kikumaru burst into tears instantly: "I also want such a mother!"

Lin Xinglan turned her head silently. Whose mother would encourage her child to skip class? Believe anything, child, you are so naive!

Fujisuke approached with a smile on his face: "Have you noticed that more girls have come to watch the stadium recently?"

Before the two of them could answer, Qian Zhenzhi appeared like a ghost: "The number of people who came to investigate has increased by [-] times compared to last year, and the number of girls has tripled compared to last year."

Eiji Kikumaru: "How did you figure it out?"

Gan Sadaharu's eyes flashed coldly: "Most girls come to the stadium to watch Tezuka. As long as he is on the stadium, the number of girls is bound to surge."

Bu Er Zhou Zhu laughed even more happily: "Tezuka-kun is really popular, he has a lot of gifts in his storage box every day, right Xing Lan?"

Lin Xinglan didn't expect him to ask himself suddenly, and was taken aback for a moment: "Ah? Really? I don't know."

After answering, Lin Xinglan's head exploded in an instant, why is this Bu Er Zhou Zhu always so annoying!What does the matter of Tezuka Kunimitsu have to do with her, why do I have to ask her every time I have something!She suddenly turned her head to scold people, but found that Bu Er Zhou Zhu had already run to the other side of the field, looking at her from a long distance away, smiling.

Lin Xinglan only felt a mouthful of old blood welling up in his throat, spraying him bloody head!

She couldn't let her anger out, so she turned her head and went to the office. As soon as she got to the door, she heard Tezuka Kunimitsu's voice from inside: "Coach, please allow me to fight Echizen."

Then came the voice of coach Ryuzaki: "We will be at the Metropolitan Assembly soon, the timing is not good, your hand..."

Tezuka Kunimitsu's voice was calm and unwavering: "It's okay, I know my own affairs best."

Coach Ryuzaki was silent for a while: "If there is no reasonable reason, I will not agree."

"I have a reason." After a long time, Tezuka Kunimitsu's voice came out, "Echizen's current playing method is completely a copy of his father's. Although his skills are outstanding, as an athlete, he cannot rely on his own strength. If you overcome obstacles with style and ability, you will never be successful, and you will always be just a copy.”

Coach Ryuzaki said silently: "In order to draw out his strength, you have to sacrifice your arm."

"No, I have my measure."

After a long time, Lin Xinglan heard Coach Ryuzaki's slightly tired voice: "Okay."

"Then I'll go to Echizen and make an appointment with him."

The door opened from the inside, and Tezuka Kunimitsu saw Lin Xinglan standing at the door: "Are you back?"

Lin Xinglan nodded carelessly.

Tezuka Kunimitsu hummed and walked past her.

Lin Xinglan suddenly turned around and called out to him: "Tezuka-kun!"

Tezuka Kunimitsu stopped and turned to look at her.

"I'm not against your competition with Echizen, I mean..." Lin Xinglan opened his mouth, "When the club activities are over, I'll accompany you to have your arm checked."

"it is good."

Lin Xinglan watched his back getting further and further away, but could not make a sound.She wanted to persuade Tezuka Kunimitsu not to go, but she couldn't get out of her mouth.She has seen the Echizen Ryoma match, and even if she doesn't know much about tennis, she knows that it takes a lot of stamina to win against a player of Echizen Ryoma's level.But Tezuka Kunimitsu's arm with an old injury may not be able to support it.

Tezuka Kunimitsu's hand injury has always been Lin Xinglan's heart disease. She always believed that more than half of Tezuka Kunimitsu's injury was due to her. If she hadn't provoked authority, this kind of thing would not have happened.In fact, what she said at the beginning was right, she would really feel guilty for this matter for the rest of her life.

After the club activities, Lin Xinglan, Tezuka Kunimitsu and Oishi Shuichiro went to the hospital together.Although the doctor said half a year ago that his arm was fine, he still insists on regular check-ups.

The examination results were normal, and the doctor let them go after a few instructions.After leaving the hospital, Oishi Shuichiro left first, and the other two went back together along the way.

It's not very hot in late spring and early summer, but the air under the setting sun is full of restlessness.

Lin Xinglan called Tezuka Kunimitsu who lived in front, "Tezuka-kun!"

Tezuka Kunimitsu turned around: "What's the matter?"

Lin Xinglan pursed her lips: "Why do you have to compete with Xiaobudian? If you want to help him, you can do more coaching in daily training."

Tezuka Kunimitsu said indifferently: "If he is not allowed to manage a setback, he will only continue on the current path and will not find a new way out. This game is imperative."

Before Lin Xinglan could speak again, Tezuka Kunimitsu said flatly: "He will be the pillar of Qingxue. He must learn to grow and become stronger."

"Then tell me, when and where is the game?"

"Three days later, the tennis court under the viaduct."

Lin Xinglan lowered her head and silently followed his footsteps.

Three days later, Lin Xinglan did not go to the match.

Tezuka Kunimitsu and Echizen Ryoma left during club activities, Lin Xinglan stayed absent-mindedly to supervise the field, and Oishi Shuichiro followed.There was only one sentence, if... She meant that if the situation was not right, immediately jump down to stop Tezuka Kunimitsu's self-harm.

Oishi Shuichiro: "...that's an elevated road!"

Lin Xinglan calmed down: "So I have to use jumping. Of course, if you want to fly, I don't mind."

Oishi Shuichiro: ...I mind!

After everyone left, Lin Xinglan suddenly lost his mood, so he asked everyone to disband half an hour earlier.But when she went back, Lin Xinglan still didn't go to the elevated side, she didn't dare.

Lin Xinglan walked on the way home alone, feeling really irritable, so she slowly rubbed her toes back on the river embankment bit by bit.The grass on the embankment has grown beyond the heels, a new green, looks soft, the wind blows, bringing up layers of green waves.Unable to distract her attention, she simply lay down on the grass.

Just laying down, the phone rang suddenly.
