Draw a card? Draw a card? !

On the eve of the Kanto Tournament, what Yukimura and Sanada talked about Su Tang didn't know, and she didn't bother to find out about the tennis club. It's just that Yukimura's condition is getting better day by day, and it's finally not the kind of suppressed and pretending to be relaxed. .

On the day of the Lihai University and Qingxue finals, she came to the hospital early in the morning and accompanied Yukimura to prepare for the operation.

The ward was still very quiet in the morning. Su Tang pushed open the window, and a fresh and cool morning breeze blew in, taking away the tiredness and sleepiness of a night's sleep, and instantly waking up the befuddled mind.

Holding the window edge with her hands, her gaze was attracted by the swaying daisies under the window. She looked at it for a long time, until she felt a warm and fragrant body approaching behind her, and Su Tang raised her head.

"It's windy here, you'd better stay away."

In the midsummer weather of July, Seiichi Yukimura was wearing a knitted jacket in the ward, and the light blue plaid hospital gown was ironed on his body, which made him a little thin.

He also did lose a lot.

"It's okay, you're standing in front of me." Yukimura joked with a smile.

Su Tang moved the corners of his mouth silently, no matter how thin he is, he is still a boy, and at 1.7 meters tall, she can't block the wind no matter what.

But she didn't say anything.

The half-open glass window in front of them clearly reflected the figures of the two of them, and the clock behind them.

8: 23.

"Operation at ten o'clock."

"Ah."

Su Tang had seen Yukimura's surgery schedule, but she asked again, without her knowing, to hide her nervousness by repeatedly asking the time.

The air in the ward had taken on a new look, Su Tang closed the window again, not daring to let Yukimura breathe.The singing of birds, the sound of the wind, and the fragrance of flowers were all gone, and the room suddenly became very quiet. The two stood by the window, and neither of them moved.

The blue-purple-haired boy was a little less talkative today, and his gentle and funny smile seemed to have added some seriousness.

He was standing less than half a meter behind her, Su Tang looked at the reflection on the glass and thought, who could say otherwise.

Faced with an operation with a success rate of less than 50.00%, she wanted to ask Yukimura in what mood he signed the informed consent form for the operation.

But this question is not suitable for today's already heavy day, so Su Tang sighed and said: "I didn't expect your surgery and the competition to be on the same day, Sanada and the others must be angry."

When Yukimura Seichi heard his friend, he couldn't help showing a little helplessness and a very happy smile, and said, "Genichiro, don't you know that you won't show anger..."

"However, they told me very solemnly that they would end the competition as soon as possible and try to catch up with me for surgery. Ah, everyone looks so serious, it's really cute."

Su Tang turned around, leaned on the window sill with one leg slightly bent, and raised his head slightly to face him. Seeing the uncontrollable smile on Yukimura's face, she joked:

"Yeah, because you transferred to Tokyo. Every time they come to Tokyo, they play very intense games. The average game does not exceed twelve minutes. They just want to save time and come to see you together."

"But they are cute..." Su Tang shook his shoulders pretending to be cold, "Forget it. When you didn't see them competing, because Chi couldn't understand English, you deliberately translated it into provocative words for him. Chi Ye was so angry that his eyes turned red on the spot."

"It's not cute, it's a devil."

It was the first time Yukimura Seichi heard about this, and Liu and the others would only tell him "I won today" and "I won again today", which made him very bored.

He raised his eyebrows, as if the smile in his eyes was about to overflow, and said: "Really? Ah, it's really wrong for a senior to bully Chi Ye like this. I'll talk about them next time."

Su Tang couldn't help but look sideways, didn't you really want to use this to tease the really cute child?

Yukimura looked at Su Tang with a smile, as if he had seen through her inner thoughts, and patted the top of her soft hair.

"Susu is also very cute. I heard Liu said that Chi was able to participate in the competition smoothly. Susu's tutoring is indispensable-obviously no one asked you."

Su Tang spread his hands indifferently, "It's just a handy task."

She pretended to say: "Besides, as a student of Lihai University, if it's the first time to watch the tennis club open up, and the next minister can't participate because he failed the exam, it would be embarrassing to say it."

The young man laughed even brighter when he heard the words, and said in a gentle voice, "Chi Ye's achievements really need to be caught."

Su Tang met him with a smile, and the eyes of the long and narrow fox kept flashing with fun and cunning.

I can’t help it Chiya, who made you so irritating in the cram school, and you can’t beat people up in the online class, so I have to save up for your minister to clean you~

"Our Su Su is really kind and capable." Yukimura turned the words back to Su Tang, with joy and doting in his blue-purple pupils.

Su Tang didn't pay attention to the emotion hidden in his eyes. Seeing that Yukimura's mood finally became brighter, she touched her nose and asked unnaturally.

"Then, if the kind and capable Susu can accompany you all the time during the operation, can...can offset your disappointment that your teammates may be late...?"

Su Tang had already tried his best to speak tactfully, and felt that he was not ashamed to speak out.

Unexpectedly, Yukimura's sharpness and insight remained the same as before. He said bluntly: "Did Susu predict something? The final will be very difficult because of Qingxue?"

Su Tang bowed her head when asked, she slowly explained: "This year, Qingxue has joined the main candidate, Echizen Ryoma, I think Liu has already told you."

"Yeah." Yukimura didn't show any nervousness or seriousness, but still looked calm, "Ryu said that he has good strength, which is very rare among the new generation."

It means nothing to be afraid of.

Su Tang understood, she nodded, "That's right, the strength is not bad, but it's still not as good as you or Sanada, Tezuka and others."

"But the most noticeable thing about Echizen Ryoma is not his strength, but his growth and talent." Su Tang sighed, "Not everyone can learn or comprehend something in every game, but he can. "

"Even, he will evolve in the game and directly affect the current game. According to me, the opponent's data is changing at any time."

She analyzed carefully with Yukimura, who was listening carefully: "For example, you, Yukimura, your data will not change all the time, because you are already strong enough, and even reached the bottleneck period."

"Like you and Sanada Atobe, they usually get some inspiration at a certain moment, and then continue to improve before finally completing their own evolution. But Echizen suddenly crossed this hurdle at a certain moment."

"I don't know if you can understand that."

Yukimura rested his chin, frowned in thought, and said, "It means that the other party will be strong when they are strong, right?"

"Yes." Su Tang agreed with this, and then added, "Of course, personal ability is very important, but it is not the decisive factor in team competitions. The overall strength of the main selection, the order of the team's layout, and even the day's The weather will play a role."

"But Qingxue still has a minister."

"Tezuka Kunimitsu." Yukimura Seichi said sternly, this old enemy that Sanada has been obsessed with is a talented player that he is not sure whether he can beat.

Su Tang thought about the information she had collected, and her eyes showed a trace of complexity. She said to Yukimura, "A minister who seems cold and unkind, but is actually ruthless to himself."

She noticed Yukimura's slightly puzzled eyes, and she could probably guess that Liu didn't tell him about Tezuka's arm injury.

Su Tang said: "The match between Seigaku and Hyotei in the Kanto Tournament was a match between Atobe and Tezuka. Tezuka suffered from serious tennis elbow disease, and the old injury has not healed. He couldn't bear strenuous exercise, but he still played. Everyone knew about this, but for the victory of the Ice Empress, they resolutely dragged him into a protracted battle."

"The two ended up in a draw."

She looked at Yukimura's dazed expression, and her tone was complicated: "I don't know if all the ministers of the sports department are so ruthless to themselves, they don't care about their own health or reputation...at least I have seen, everyone with their own team All the ministers who broke through the world are like this."

"Liu's data pays more attention to digital things, while my analysis also refers to human cultural factors."

"The influence of a minister on the entire team greatly exceeds all factors, Yukimura, plus this, can you imagine what Qinggaku is like now?"

Su Tang didn't wait for his answer, and said with a smile: "Of course, you certainly can't imagine the influence you have on Li Haida now, and you can't predict what the tennis club is like now."

Yukimura Seichi has gradually calmed down. He is also a person who will not easily shake his faith and confidence, and he is about to face a life-changing operation. Everything in front of him can be very sensitive or indifferent.

"So, what did Susu want to tell me when she told me this before the operation?"

Su Tang didn't speak for a while, she used her eyes to quietly describe the face that was close at hand, Yukimura was really pretty.

This description may be too much for a boy, but his delicate eyebrows, straight nose bridge, and clear and correct facial features are as if they were carefully outlined with a fine brush.

But his gentle and indifferent temperament is so powerful, when a pair of dark eyes look at you lightly, he draws you into his world, allowing you to see the splendor and glory in it.

Su Tang thought that his world should have flowers, poetry collections, and the sweet smell of lemon and honey, instead of being filled with disinfectant and medicine.

She looked at him tenderly, her brown pupils were a little pale under the reflection of the sun, like amber that was not stained with mud and dust, but also like a lake that contained everything but was still clear.

"I just want to tell you, Jingshi, all your assumptions about the future are meaningless now," Su Tang said softly, "Only when you see it with your own eyes will you know... Ah, so it is like this."

"You'd want to see it for yourself, wouldn't you?"

Yukimura stared deeply at Su Tang's expression, not knowing how to describe the sadness and expectation in it, but he could no longer understand her worry and blessing for him, so he replied to her seriously.

"Well, I'll see her with my own eyes."

Your "she".

Su Tang's nasal cavity was sore, he didn't dare to speak, he could only keep nodding, and then nodded again, after a while he said in a hoarse voice: "The operation will be anesthetized, I can't accompany you, you do it yourself, I'll wait for you outside."

What she said meant something, but Yukimura didn't pay attention for a while, just said "um", he was thinking about something, hesitated for a while, and said, "If the operation is successful, I have something to tell you, Susu."

It was only then that Su Tang suddenly remembered her task of "going to England within 24 hours after the operation". She smiled awkwardly and said, "I...I also have something to say... You, you, you, go and prepare for the operation first! What do you say? Let's talk after it's over!"

The boy smiled gently and nodded in agreement.

As soon as 09:30 passed, the nurse came to call Yukimura to prepare for the operation. Su Tang could not follow during this period, so he went to wait outside the operating room ahead of time.

When he saw Yukimura lying on the bed and being pushed over again, before Su Tang had time to speak, he heard the sound of panicked and hurried running at the end of the corridor.

"It seems that everyone has caught up." She said with a smile if she felt it.

Yukimura was covered with a quilt, and seemed to have been injected with drugs in advance, and was already a little sleepy, so he could only struggle to hold her with one hand, but Su Tang held his hand instead and said to the nurse, "Sorry, can you wait for a while?"

The nurse nodded understandingly, but the operation time cannot wait, "Maximum 2 minutes!"

Su Tang leaned down and approached Yukimura, tucked him in the quilt, and joked softly with him: "That's enough, if you can't run for 2 minutes, I'll ask Sanada to give them extra training."

The young man lowered his eyes slightly, turned his face and nodded slightly.

"minister!"

"Minister Minister!"

"Great! Catch up!"

Several sweaty teenagers swarmed up, both excited and nervous, Yukimura couldn't speak, so he swept their faces one by one.

"Yukimura," Liu held a uniform jacket tightly, panting and handed it to him, "Sanada is here."

Su Tang pursed his lower lip, seeing that Yukimura just nodded with a smile and showed no regrets, so he put his hand back under the quilt, and said in a gentle voice, "Okay, it's time for the operation."

"Minister, come on!" Kirihara Chiya clenched his fists with red eyes, this time he was about to cry, "We'll wait for you outside!"

Everyone else nodded nervously, and couldn't say anything for a moment. In the end, the nurse comforted them: "It's okay, Yukimura-kun is in good health, and the operation will end soon."

Su Tang finally got close to the fainting young man's ear, and whispered: "I hope you won't be sad when you wake up... If you can make your operation [-]% successful, I'd rather not win the competition in the future."

Yukimura Seiichi's eyelashes fluttered slightly, but he didn't open his eyes. Su Tang didn't know if he heard clearly, so he got up and took a step back, watching him being pushed into the operating room.

The corridor suddenly fell into silence, only Kirihara Chi also looked at Su Tang who was standing motionless in the front, and asked Senior Marui furtively: "Just now... did Susu kiss the minister?"

Marui Bunta: "..."

Others who pretended not to hear: "..."

Su Tang froze.

Akaya Kirihara, do you fucking understand the sound range of whispering?
