Net King - Lan Xi

"Hi, Ryoma, let's go home together today." When the training started, Katsuro asked Ryoma in a low voice.Gan, who was recording at the side, heard it, and leaned over curiously to listen to what they had to say.

"Yeah." Ryoma picked up the tennis racket and walked to the tennis court.

"Katsuro, what are you going to do? You look so mysterious, you can't leave me after school, I want to go with you too." Horio who was on the side heard their conversation and came over.

"Well, okay." Katsuro said hesitantly.Sheng Lang was carrying the tennis basket, and couldn't help but think of the conversation he had with his sister Lan Xi a few days ago.

. . . . . .

"Katsuro, next month seems to be Dad's birthday." I flipped through the calendar and asked Katsuro who was watching TV.

"Well, the first Sunday, I asked my mother the day before yesterday." Katsuro replied.

"Then what do you think is a better gift for Dad?" I sat next to Sheng Lang and asked.

"I think it's better to ask Dad what he likes." Katsuro said.

"However, there are only a few things that Dad likes, and the gifts are almost the same every year. It's so boring." I said.

"Then sister means that she wants to give dad something different from previous years?"

"Smart, the answer is correct, but unfortunately there is no reward."

"Then what is special to give? Do you want to ask your mother?" Sheng Lang scratched his head.

"No. You can't ask mom about everything, you have to think for yourself. Tell me your answer later, and we'll decide what to give dad." The program on TV just ended, and during commercial time, I took the remote control to switch channels.

"Then, sister, do you have any hints? It seems that you have already thought about it." Sheng Lang asked.

"I have an idea, but I also think you have a better gift, otherwise why would I ask you?" I tapped Sheng Lang on the head. "However, you can think about it, what kind of gift is the most surprising and happiest to you on your birthday?"

"The most pleasant surprise... I think about it, I should have been looking forward to it for a long time and thought it was impossible to get it, but I got it suddenly. For example, I got No.1 in the exam now." Sheng Lang said.

"The answer is correct, plus ten points. This apple is used as a prize. So, your task now is to be like Dad, what is his most wanted wish to come true." I handed the peeled apple to Sheng Lang, and picked up another peeled apple. up.

"Sister, this task is too difficult for me. What if Dad finds out?" Sheng Lang took the apple.

"Have confidence in yourself, sister, I also believe that you won't mess it up. Besides, look at me now," I pointed to my leg that was still in plaster, "you can bear to let my sister follow Dad like this." ?”

"Of course not, my sister should rest well and get better soon."

"Then only you are left, so this task is yours. You are not allowed to ask your mother for help." I took a bite of the apple in my hand.

"That's fine." Katsuro finally agreed.

"Actually, this is not difficult. When you are playing ball, eating, or going out on the street, you can talk about what you think, and then ask your father. It is very natural. Also, there must be more than one wish of your father. You should write it down carefully. We can also choose to see which one can be realized within the limited time and resources. If you have any questions, you can still ask me, my sister will be your military advisor, and you won’t be asked to ask your mother, and you didn’t say no to me.”

After several days of hard work, Sheng Lang finally got some wishes from his father that he wanted to realize, and wrote them down.

"Well, you did a good job, Katsuro. Actually, it's not as difficult as you think." Looking at the items listed by Katsuro, I asked.In fact, Sheng Lang is very good, but sometimes he doesn't have high confidence in himself.

"Well, I finally realized that many things are not as difficult as I thought at the beginning. I frightened myself." Sheng Lang said. "When chatting with my father, I just followed what my father said. In the end, before I asked, my father said it first."

"Hehe, then let's see what we choose as Dad's gift next month." I spread the note on the table and discussed it with Shenglang.

"Be the best tennis coach in the club," I read.

"However, we don't know the other coaches in Dad's club, and Dad's physical strength is definitely not as good as those young uncles. This, it seems that we can't make Dad's wish come true, unless we let the coach in the club who is stronger than Dad Let's all go," Katsuro said.

"Okay, let's see the next one. Take mom to travel abroad for one month." I continued to read.

"Maybe, we will definitely have no problem taking care of ourselves for a month." Sheng Lang said happily.

"Stupid," I tapped Katsuro on the head, "if possible, mom and dad would have gone. There are a lot of things to do when traveling abroad, and for a month, their work needs to arrange vacations in advance. The biggest The problem is to have enough funds to travel and have fun.”

"Is that because Dad and the others want to save money?" Sheng Lang asked.

"It should be. We will spend a lot of money on studying in the future, and the salary of parents is not very high. Moreover, it is more appropriate to give this wish to two people, hehe. When we have a certain financial ability, we will give it to you." It's a surprise for them. So, let's pass this one, let's move on to the next one." I said.

"Okay. This is to have face-to-face contact with tennis stars, and it is best to have a match." Sheng Lang read.

"Tennis stars? Are there any tennis stars around us? There are also tennis stars from my father's time. I don't know who he likes." After Katsuro finished reading, I asked.

"I know this. When I was chatting with my father, my father said that when he was young, there was a star he admired named Echizen Minamijiro, who was from Japan." Katsuro said happily.

"Echizen Minamijiro?" I repeated the name.

"Yes, it has the same surname as Echizen Ryoma in our class." Katsuro said from the side.

"If I remember correctly, Echizen Minamijiro should be Echizen Ryoma's father." I said.

"Sister, what are you talking about? Ryoma's father!" Katsuro asked in surprise.

"It should be. If you don't believe it, you can ask Ryoma yourself. By the way, ask them what they like." I replied.

. . . . . .

"Katsuro, don't you have something to ask Ryoma? Why is it so quiet now?" After training, on the way home, Horio's voice came.

"Well... there is a question, but I don't know how to ask it." Katsuro replied in a low voice.

"If you have any questions, just ask directly. With your appearance, how can you look like a tennis player? We need to be quick and decisive." Horio criticized.

"Well, Echizen, I want to ask something about your father, is that okay?" Katsuro finally made up his mind and asked.

"Old man? What do you want to ask him?" Ryoma asked.

"Your father, is his name Echizen Minamijiro? That former famous tennis samurai?" Katsuro asked.

"Well, it should be." Ryoma replied briefly.

"What, it should be. Ryoma, how can you answer like this. A celebrity in the tennis world, a star. You are not sure at all about what you should say." Hearing Ryoma's answer, Horio immediately protested.

"Madamadadale." Ryoma pushed his hat.

"My sister's information is really accurate. I'm in the same class as Ryoma, and I don't know as much as my sister." Katsuro thought to himself.

"...To become a tennis star like Echizen Minamijiro is my ultimate goal, and I will definitely succeed! Do you want my autograph now? It will be very valuable when I become famous in the future! Wait until later, It will be difficult to get it." Horio was still there to express his ambitions, and everyone had no choice but to continue walking.
