Tokyo is pretty everyday except for tennis

"We're back—" After returning from the Tokyo Dome, Lin Xie and Ryoma walked into the entrance one after the other.

"Meow." As soon as the two entered the door, Carubin and Oreo rushed to jump on the dragon horse.

"How does it feel to be surrounded by beautiful boys, Ryoma." Lin Xie felt a little sore seeing Ryoma surrounded by cats, and teased him while reaching out to touch Carubin in his arms.

"Tch, you are still worse..."

"Hey, teenagers. Why did you come back at this time? It's so slow. Could it be that you have some secret activities?" Nanjiro interrupted Ryoma, leaning lazily against the wall, looking at Masahiro with gossiping eyes. shoes for two people.

"Where are you after the game? Mom told you to drive us home after the game." Ryoma looked at Minami Jiro expressionlessly, waiting for his reply.

"Ahahaha, I think the moonlight is good tonight, do you want to go to the yard to enjoy the moon together?" Nanjiro immediately touched the back of his head, looked up at the ceiling of the house and sighed, and slipped into the bedroom while the two were not paying attention.

"You go to eat first, I'm going to practice in the temple behind." Ryoma directly changed his sneakers, picked up the tennis bag at the door and went out again.

"It's too hard... They all love tennis." Lin Xie couldn't help sighing as he watched Longma leave.

"Girl over there, change your shoes and come in. I have something to tell you." Nanjiro poked his head out of the bedroom, looking at her with a rare serious face.

"Okay..." Lin Xie put down the Oreo he just picked up, and walked into the bedroom with some doubts.

……

"Hey, here's the thing—the time for Ryoma to participate in the U.S. Open has been set, and your Aunt Rinko and I are also planning to move there..." Nanjiro rubbed his head in embarrassment, not knowing what to do Euphemism.

"So it's about this matter, Uncle Nanjiro don't need to worry." Lin Xie breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was a big deal for Uncle Nanjiro to be so serious, "I will find a house to move out soon."

"No, no, no! You can continue to live in our house with Nanako." Nanjiro immediately shook his hands and denied it.

"Thanks to my uncle and aunt for taking care of me during this time. I am also preparing for further studies recently, so I want to live alone so that I can study conveniently. I am wondering how to talk to my uncle..." Lin Xie lowered his head slightly, suddenly thinking about Longma, "Uncle Nanjiro, does Ryoma know about the U.S. Open?"

"Ah, that kid. It won't be too late to tell him when the competition notice arrives." Mentioning Ryoma, Nanjiro lay down slowly again, pulled out a magazine and began to browse.

[Atobe-san, good evening!I want to ask about renting a house...] from Lin Xie

[I will send you the contact information of the president of the real estate club, and you can go to the field with him directly. 】from trace department

[Of course, if you need my uncle to accompany you, you can also make an appointment with me in advance. 】from trace department

Seeing the two text messages sent by Atobe one after another, Lin Xie almost lost the milk cup in his hand—is this the future overlord of the Atobe chaebol?

[Thank you Atobe sama, I'll go and see the house first, and I'll come with you when I sign the contract later. 】from Lin Xie

"What are you doing?" Long Ma threw down his tennis bag and walked into the entrance, covered in sweat, and saw Lin Xie holding a milk glass in one hand and almost spilling it, while holding a mobile phone in the other and giggling.

"Welcome back! Ryoma. Let's eat quickly. I'll go upstairs to prepare Oreo's luggage, and his mother may come to pick him up in the next two days." Lin Xie dimmed his phone and prepared to go upstairs, but suddenly stopped when he thought of something , "Oh, by the way, do you want to go to a newly opened hot pot restaurant in Shinjuku tomorrow? It is said to be very fragrant and not very spicy, and there is a milk tea shop next to it!"

"Is it hot pot again... we can go together after I finish training tomorrow." After finishing speaking, Ryoma reached out and opened the refrigerator door, found a can of grape-flavored Ponta from the refrigerator and drank it.

"Drink less carbonated drinks, little one!" Lin Xie made a face at Longma, and turned back to the room.

……

8:00 the next morning

"You got up very early today." Long Ma, who was about to go to the Qing Xue Tennis Club for training, was a little surprised when he saw Lin Xie.

"Ahhh - good morning, Ryoma. Have a good trip." Lin Xie hadn't fully opened his eyes yet, and after saying goodbye to Ryoma, he sat down at the dining table to relax.

"Why did you wake up so early today, Xie Jiang. Don't you enjoy the holiday?" Nanako reached out and pressed Lin Xie's shoulder with a gentle tone.

"Thank you, sister Nanako. I made an appointment with the real estate agency to see the house today." Lin Xie was pinched even more sleepy, and directly stated his plan.

"Are you moving away, Xie Jiang?!" Nanako clapped her hands together, a little in disbelief.

"Well... recently I plan to go out to rent a house. Find a place closer to the language school, and it will be convenient for me to study alone." Lin Xie immediately woke up and could only explain again.

"Since you have made your decision, we can't force it... Is the rent of the house you are looking for expensive? Is the apartment safe? You must pay attention to the security measures of the apartment if you are an underage girl." Nanako began to consider the reality of renting an apartment for her question.

"Sister Nanako, don't worry, I've considered all these. The rent of the house I'm looking for today is 0 key money and 0 deposit. There are access control and security personnel downstairs in the apartment. The doorbell at home is a videophone, and anyone who visits can be seen at a glance." Lin Xie After speaking, he silently thanked Atobe in his heart.

"That should be about the same—does Ryoma know?" Nanako shifted the topic to Ryoma again.

"I plan to tell him after signing the contract..." Lin Xie didn't know how to talk to Longma, so he took the tactic of delaying the attack first, and waited until he rented the house.

"Well, then we can help you carry your luggage. What time did you make an appointment with the real estate club? Is it too late for breakfast?" Nanako looked up at the watch on the dining room wall.

"Maybe it's too late! I'm going to wash and make up first!" Lin Xie jumped up from the chair to get ready.

.........

15:00 pm

youth station

"I've been waiting for a long time... Where did you go today?" Long Ma trotted all the way to Lin Xie with his tennis bag on his back.

"Why do you ask that suddenly?" Lin Xie tilted his head and looked at him.

After Ryoma quickly adjusted his breathing, he stretched out his finger and swiped over the top of Lin Xie's ear.

"This." There was a trace of grass clippings in Longma's hand.

"Oh! This one. The weather is so good today, so I went to lie down on the sidewalk by the river for a while." Lin Xie pulled his hair a few times.

"Let's go. Aren't you going to eat hot pot?" Ryoma walked forward with his hands in his pockets.

……

Shinjuku Station

"Pfft, Ryoma. Am I right?" Lin Xie couldn't help laughing as he looked at the LED advertising car parked on the road.

"No—yes—" Long Mala said in a long tone, and she didn't want to admit it, so she simply turned her head aside.

Lin Xie took out his mobile phone from his pocket, zoomed in on the camera, and took a picture of the head advertisement of the Cowherd Shop: the god of the host—Echizen Ryoma.

"Hey, I think that Ryoma is not as handsome as you at all! You must have a higher roll call rate than him when you go to the Cowherd's shop!" Lin Xie gave a thumbs up and looked at Longma affirmatively.

"...Thank you." Ryoma didn't know where to complain for a while, so he could only say "Thank you".

"Isn't this Echizen and Lin Sang from Qingxue?" Guan Yue and several members of Sheng Rudolph's regular selection happened to pass by them, and stopped to say hello, "By the way, has Lin Sang decided when to come to our school to enroll? "

"Who is he?" Longma looked at Lin Xie suspiciously, as if he didn't know Guanyue who was curly hair in front of him.

"St. Rudolph Tennis Manager, Guan Yue." Guan Yue was obviously taken aback for a moment, then gritted his teeth and introduced himself.

"Eh—I don't know." Ryoma said blankly, then turned his head and nodded to Yuta.

"Thank you Guanyue for your kindness. I haven't decided which school to go to now. I still want to try TOEFL and the foreign student test first." Lin Xie replied politely.

After Longma heard this, his eyes widened and he turned to look at her, making Lin Xie baffled.

"I thought you would come to Qingxue." After Saint Rudolph and his party left, Long Mala lowered the brim of his hat and whispered.

"I'm not sure yet. Qingxue is considering it!" Lin Xie immediately raised his hand.

"Oh."

…………

next day

"Sister Nanako, I'm going to the management company to sign the contract today. The house has been settled! It's just on the JR line in Tokyo, and the transportation is very convenient!" When Lin Xie came out of the room, only Nanako and her were left at home. .

"It's actually settled so quickly. It's not the peak season for renting a house yet, you can take another look. Do you want me to accompany you to sign the contract?" Nanako put down the book in her hand and was about to get up and change clothes.

"No, no, it's a very simple process, and I can handle it by myself! Then I'll go first!" Lin Xie memorized the materials required for the contract and went out.

……

"Ato... Atobe?! Why are you here?" As soon as Lin Xie entered the company's gate, he saw Atobe sitting gracefully on the leather sofa in the reception area with a European-style teacup in his hand, with Huadi standing behind him. .

"Huh? Didn't my uncle say that he would accompany you when signing the contract." Atobe slowly put down the rose-shaped teacup, got up and followed Lin Xie to the person in charge of signing the contract.

Lin Xie could clearly feel the depressive silence of the whole club, so he could only sympathize with these members in his heart, quickly browsed through the contract, stamped and signed it.

It was already sunset in the afternoon after finishing the key handover and other specific matters.

"I just received a call saying that Echizen is going to participate in the US Open, is it true?" Atobe walked out of the real estate club side by side with Lin Xie, and looked at Lin Xie with some seriousness.

Sure enough, when it comes to tennis, everyone will become very serious.Seeing Atobe's eyes eager to know the answer, Lin Xie nodded, "Uncle Nanjiro helped him sign up."

"I don't know what ranking he can get in the U.S. Open. I'm looking forward to it." Thinking of Ryoma, Atobe raised his mouth and walked towards the private car. "Let's go, I'll take you home first."

"Of course our Ryoma will be No.1!" Lin Xie shouted while keeping up with Atobe.

…………

"Thank you Atobe-san, thank you very much! I will invite you to my house to cook Chinese food for you in the future." Lin Xie kept thanking Atobe after getting out of the car.

"It's nothing, it's just a small matter for me." Atobe was keenly aware of Ryoma appearing around the corner just after he finished speaking, "Hey, Echizen. Come on for the U.S. Open, and we'll play another round after we win the championship."

"Why do you know about the U.S. Open?" Ryoma looked angry, and his tone was not friendly.

"When I helped Lin Sang sign the contract today, Guanyue from Saint Rudolph said he heard it in Qingxue." Atobe didn't care about Ryoma's tone, and answered him honestly, "I have something to do, so I'm leaving first." .”

After Atobe got into the car, Ryoma looked ahead with firm eyes and said, "I'm going to participate in the national competition! Not the U.S. Open!"

Lin Xie didn't know what to do when he saw that Longma was so angry that his hair exploded.

"What's the matter with signing the contract? I want to hear your explanation. And the U.S. Open, you all know about it, right? Why didn't you discuss it with me first?!" Long Ma turned his gaze to Lin Xie, and stared at her with both hands clenched.

"About renting a house and signing a contract...that's..." Lin Xie was a little flustered for a while, his grammar was lost, and he didn't know how to organize the language, so he could only make gestures with his hands.

"Forget it, you won't tell me anyway. I don't want to hear it either."

Longma turned away from looking at her, walked into the entrance first, ran upstairs and locked himself in the bedroom.
