fall in love with Echizen

During the postgraduate stage, I have been with my father in the company for several years.

He didn't live in the school, and lived with Ryoma outside the school. He has been competing all over the world after graduating from university. Up to now, among those who are still active in the tennis world, he has never won against him.

Ryoma, who has a strong desire to win and lose, gradually became bored with the countless unchanging victories, pushed a lot of unnecessary games, and had free time, so he lived with me logically.

weekend.

I was shaken awake, and I had to open a crack to look at it. The mature man with dark green hair came back from a morning run and took a shower. He was shirtless, and there were a few red marks on his exposed skin. Covered by thin muscles, and further down is a thin waist, the deep mermaid line is hidden into the belt.

I closed it immediately after just one glance, and turned over: "...don't disturb me."

Ryoma, already in his 20s, raised his eyebrows, and said in a mature voice, "It's time for breakfast."

I didn't open my eyes, rolled up the quilt on my body, and said in a daze, "I'm going to sleep all morning without breakfast."

I dealt with too many documents yesterday, and I was exhausted when I came home at night. I took a hot bath in the bathroom, and when I relaxed, I started to expand my ego. I felt that I was fine again, so I summoned Ryoma.

Click, the door opened, and the man with dark green hair and wearing loose home clothes leaned against the door frame and looked down at me in the bathtub. He crossed his arms and said calmly, "Why, let me give you the same as last time." Take a tablet and Coke snacks, and make yourself dizzy in your own bathroom."

I:"……"

I ignored his secret sarcasm, lying on the edge of the bathtub and looking up: "Come here."

"..." Ryoma tilted his head and stared at me silently for a few seconds, his specific expression was blurred by the steaming bathroom, only to hear Ryoma sneer suddenly, raised his hand, and the muscle lines of his arm stretched with the movement, a second later He took off his coat and threw it in the basket outside the door.

I watched him leaning on the edge of the bathtub, his face approaching, my appearance was reflected in the amber eyes, and he jokingly said, "You want me to take a bath together?"

I responded without shame: "Well, come quickly."

Ryoma rubbed my face with his callused fingertips before taking a bath, and he wiped off the drops of water one by one: "Aren't you very tired today?"

Me: "I'm not tired now, hurry up!"

Ryoma looked at me quietly for a moment, didn't speak, but expressed it with actions.

The calm water suddenly fluctuated, and the ripples continued. After a while, I didn't want to be in the water, "Wait... wait, don't be in the water."

Ryoma made an evil smile: "Hey——Isn't that what you said here?"

I pulled his hair unconsciously. The water in the bathtub was warm, but I soaked in hot water at first, and now it was a bit cold. Ryoma obviously didn't think so, and I complained: "...I'm cold."

"..." Long Ma paused, "I won't tell you sooner."

Crashing, the person left the water with a string of splashes.

The bathroom light was on for a long time.

……

The next morning, I felt a little sour all over, but fortunately, last night Ryoma was consciously restraining himself.

Long Ma heard my words of "not eating breakfast" and went to bed. I noticed that the mattress behind me was sunken, and someone was approaching my ear, and the magnetic voice pierced into my ear, and it was very itchy: "Ewha, you forgot that you said you would raise a baby." Stomach, have you started eating breakfast every day?"

I:"……"

I said weakly: "...doing that kind of thing can really relieve stress, but it's a little tiring."

Long Ma was not successfully taken away by me this time: "Do you want to go back on your word?"

I:"……"

Me: "5 minutes, I'll sleep for another 5 minutes."

10 minutes later--

I brushed my teeth and washed my face in the bathroom sleepily, and woke up a lot.

Vitality is back!

I sat at the dining table, Ryoma was flipping through the book after eating, I took a sip of porridge: "What are you looking at?"

He looked up and showed me the page of the book.

[The marriage of Echizen Ryoma, the new apex in the tennis world, is revealed! ]

I almost choked, and quickly swallowed: "What is this!?"

Long Ma looked down at the well-analyzed article in the magazine: "It should be you who was photographed."

Me: "...I'm really puzzled why it's just now. Didn't we all hide anyone?"

Ryoma thought for a moment: "Probably because there is no wedding? You don't want me to wear a ring."

I complained: "What do you bring to the game for training, even if you wear it after the game, what if you drop it?"

Long Ma was silent for a few seconds, turned his eyes away, for a long time, I thought it was over, and continued to drink porridge, when he suddenly said awkwardly: "...then why didn't you wear it?"

Me: "...Because I take it off every night, I usually forget to put it on in the morning, and over time - but it's different now! We'll wear it from tomorrow! Hmm."

I said half of it and immediately remedied it. Ryoma glanced at me and hummed.

I breathe a sigh of relief.

.........

In the afternoon, both of us were fine. There was a small lawn behind the house where we lived, and a simple tennis court in the middle.

——You can also play badminton.

I excitedly stood aside holding the badminton racket: "I won't lose in badminton!"

The man on the opposite side, who was getting used to the badminton racket, weighed the racket, "Hey, is this the exercise you're talking about?"

Me: "The working week is too busy, so playing basketball on weekends should be regarded as exercise."

Long Ma put the racket on his shoulder casually, with an unruly temperament, the corners of his lips hooked: "You might as well run."

Me: "No. Okay, let's start quickly."

When I served the ball, I had the upper hand at first, so I couldn't help but become arrogant: "Hahaha Long Ma, do you want to admit defeat?"

Ryoma weighed his hands unhurriedly, "Sometimes I feel that I have beaten you too hard, and if you want to cry again, you are really hesitant."

Taunting power max.

Me: "...I've been an adult for so long, adults don't have tears!"

Longma raised his eyebrows: "Then you last night—"

Before Ryoma finished speaking, I served again.

With the sound of breaking through the air, Ryoma seemed to be ready to use all his strength, and he caught it easily.

After a while, my forehead gradually became sweaty.

...Where did he come from such a skill that has improved rapidly on the spot!

Soon the situation was reversed, I panted, and looked behind me at the badminton that I missed.

Ryoma laughed: "I'm really sorry, it seems that badminton is not as difficult as imagined."

Me: "...you are not called the prince of the tennis world, you are called the prince of the ball world."

And this guy...!It was completely intentional to hit the place farthest from me, so that I never stopped trotting.

This is not a badminton exercise at all!

Longma smiled: "What's the matter, Lihua? Are you too tired to run? You can also take a halftime break."

I wiped the sweat from my forehead: "No need...!"

As a result, I failed miserably and was too tired to get up on the ground.

Ryoma came over, knelt down, and poked my face: "You're so weak, it seems you're still far behind, Lihua."

I took a slow breath and looked at him: "I'm hungry."

Long Ma paused: "What do you want to eat?"

Me: "Watermelon!"

Ryoma entered the house.

After a while, I lay on the ground and moved my legs, toes touching toes, looking at the blue sky, I was no longer tired.

Ryoma's voice: "If you don't come again, I'll finish eating."

I turned my head, and he was sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor outside the room, taking a lazy bite, staring at me with amber eyes, beside him was a plate of sliced ​​watermelon.

I didn't move, I stretched out my hand: "No, I can't move."

Ryoma: "Aren't you tired?"

"Then come and feed me."

Ryoma: "You are really good at climbing up poles."

Me: "Can't you?"

Ryoma: "..."

Finally I ate it as I wished, sat up, Longma held up a piece of watermelon that I had bitten out, lowered his eyes, seemed to be entangled for a while, and said dryly: "...wedding, what do you think?"

Me: "Huh?"

I swallowed: "Well...just invite people you know well."

Ryoma: "Of course."

I laughed out loud, leaned closer and kissed him: "What's the rush?"

Long Ma's eyes widened slightly: "...I'm not in a hurry. Your mouth is full of watermelon water."

I took the watermelon in his hand: "Anyway, you still have to eat."

Ryoma blinked slowly and lowered his head.

The watermelon in my hand was bitten by him in an instant, and I was stunned.

Long Ma said calmly after eating: "You are right."

Then leaned closer and kissed me too, not to be outdone.

I:"……"

***

During the days leading up to the wedding I kept picking and choosing.

The same goes for Ryoma, but not as exhausted in the late game as I am.

When I am tired, I will lie on the sofa and let myself go, "I need Ryoma's massage!"

Long Ma was leaning against me, and upon hearing this, he stretched out his hand to pinch my face, and smiled slowly, "That's it."

I slurred: "...no...not this place's...massage."

Then I will enjoy a professional massage... Although Ryoma's exertion is very painful, it is very comfortable when it is over!

***

I got up very early on the day of the wedding, and Chiyo came to do my makeup: "Pear flower sauce is beautiful."

Yui combed my hair from behind, and said with a smile, "That's right."

I looked in the mirror, and the people inside were in their youth, with bright makeup and joy on their brows.

"Okay, it's time to go out." Mom came in, Yui and the others retreated first, she put her lightly on my shoulder: "My daughter is so beautiful."

I couldn't help laughing: "Are you like your mother?"

"Look carefully, even more beautiful than when I was young."

We looked at each other and smiled in the mirror, and my mother smiled softly: "Okay, let's go out. Everyone is waiting."

I'm good."

The oversized white wedding dress required me to carry it downstairs, and I saw many familiar faces when I went downstairs.

Relatives, Chiyo and the others, Nozaki and the others, and Fuji-senpai and the others.It was rare for Echizen Minamijiro to wear formal attire, and he was full of smiles.

I don't know why, but amidst the applause and countless smiling faces, I couldn't help but feel shy, and my face must have turned red.

Walking past them, Chiyo and Kashima were hugging and crying, and I smiled and relaxed.

Mom let go, "Go."

I hummed, put my hand on my father who had been waiting there, and whispered, "Are you crying?"

"No." Dad beeped softly, but his eyes were swollen, and he looked serious, "I didn't cry on a happy day."

Me: "Okay."

Stepping onto the red carpet, with the lights above my head, I walked step by step with my dad on my arm, and at the end was a man with dark green hair in a black suit.

In a quiet environment, my heart beats violently.

Up to now, there is a feeling of "so I'm really married"—it's almost the same as the dreamy feeling of receiving a marriage certificate, and it's even more exciting now.

At the end, Ryoma's face became clearer, and the corners of his lips curled slightly.

Dad took my hand and handed it to him: "Remember not to make Lihua unhappy."

Ryoma held it and looked at me with a smile: "Of course, I will do the same without my father-in-law telling me."

I smiled.

Dad went down, and I saw him from the corner of the eye, hugging my mother and crying as soon as he went, and my mother patted him on the shoulder helplessly.

Next is the traditional part.

The host wearing a dress said: "Miss Huino, do you want this man to become your husband and enter into a marriage contract with him, and stay with him for the rest of your life, never leave him, and be loyal to him forever until the end of your life?"

Ryoma and I looked at each other, he was smiling, and I saw myself in his eyes, too.

We have gone through the most ignorant and innocent days in our lives, and we are so familiar with each other, as if we were born to walk together.

The friction is not as good as our fit, and even the character has gradually changed to suit each other.

Me: "I do."

"Then Mr. Echizen, do you want this woman to become your wife and make a marriage contract with her, and stay with her for the rest of your life, never leave her, and be loyal to her forever until the end of your life?"

Ryoma laughed without hesitation: "Of course."

...This guy, at this time, he is doing his own thing, and the format is different!

"Then, please exchange rings between the two newlyweds."

I took the ring and helped Ryoma put it on. It was different from the one in the room before. The ring I had worn for several years gave it a different meaning again at this moment.

Ryoma slowly pushed the ring to the root of my finger.

I was so happy that I couldn't help wrapping my arms around Ryoma's neck.

Host: "Wow, the bride is very lively!"

Ryoma laughed and hugged back: "The lipstick doesn't taste good."

Me: "I put on edible lipstick today."

As soon as the words fell, his arms around my waist tightened, and I followed the trend and raised my head.

At the moment of soft touch, there were applause and ridicule from below.

My ears felt that all the sounds were gone, only the beating of two hearts remained.

I don't know who put the ribbons, there was one bang after another, and the host's words were mixed with the enthusiastic laughter.

"Let us wish this couple a happy life—!"

I felt the movement between Ryoma's words, and only I who was close could hear it.

"As it should be."

Very confident and arrogant.

I couldn't help laughing: "Remember to wipe the lipstick I kissed later. Also,"

The extremely close distance formed a whisper with only the two of us.

Longma hooked his lips, his eyes were clear.

--I love you.
