Time is like a song

I started the third semester as usual, and in the women's tennis, the third graders have already withdrawn.What's more troublesome is that my father asked me to go back to Tokyo, saying that he wanted me to meet the person I was engaged to, and if there was no problem with both parties, I would get engaged after I graduated from middle school.I heard the second sister said that the other party is a very good person, and his family background is better than ours.

The family business of the Heike family is scheduled to be inherited by the eldest son, the fourth brother, and this kid seems to be smart enough.The problem is that the mother's departure left the fourth brother with less matrilineal support than the other heirs. Although our stepmother, Auntie Meiyue, was not a villain, she was unwilling to marry into a wealthy family but returned empty-handed.So the only ones who can help the fourth brother consolidate his position are us who are older sisters.If I marry well, it will also be a bargaining chip for my fourth brother.

It's nothing, just go and see, if you think it's not suitable, just give up, and find another way to help your brother.But it would be too stupid to leave a ready-made method and not try it.Both the eldest sister and the second sister have gone on blind dates, but unfortunately neither is suitable, so it doesn't matter if it's my turn to try again.

The second sister also said that the other party is the second son, neither can marry a family background that is too unsuitable for his family, but probably also does not want a wife with too much ambition, so it should be very suitable for me.

Then see you.

I took a Sunday and went back to Tokyo, changed into my troublesome kimono with the help of a maid, and went to a Japanese restaurant.This kind of formal meeting, of course, is carried out in the evil way of kneeling and sitting.If I'm going to prepare for the national competition, I will definitely not do this, so as not to increase the burden on my knees.

However, the national competition is over.

The other party was very polite and didn't make us wait long.

With the sound of Ou Zha, the wooden door was pushed open, led by the other party's slightly serious parents, and then my blind date came in.It's a pity, his face is obviously handsome, but he chooses to keep Liu Hai so long, and his hairstyle is still limp.This reminds me of our classmate Yagyu Hairspray.

Pfft, I really want to laugh.

"Oh hehehe~" Auntie Meiyue sat on the seat representing my mother and said with a smile, "Why don't we go out for a stroll? Let the children chat by themselves?"

Then the parents left, and I was left speechless looking at each other.I was distracted just now, and I didn't even hear his name clearly, how can I talk about it?

"Tokugawa Kazuya," he said.

I look at him.It turned out that I wasn't the only one who was distracted.

"Hira Shinumi."

"You don't need to sit on your knees." He said lightly, and then took a sip of tea.

I curled my lips, "If they come back and see that I am not kneeling, Dad will definitely scold me to death."

Tokugawa Kazuya glanced at me, then let go of his sitting position and stopped kneeling.Looking at his figure and the calluses on his hands, he seems to be an athlete. No wonder he doesn't like sitting on his knees for a long time, which will increase the burden on his knees.In this way, he drank tea and I ate pastries, and remained silent for a long while.

"Are you in an athletic club?" he asked.

"Yes. Tennis club."

"Going to play a game?"

"..." Could it be that even on a blind date, I have also encountered tennis monsters, "Okay." Just hit it.

We went to a nearby shopping mall and bought a set of sports clothes to change into. He then lent me his tennis racket. In less than 10 minutes, we were already standing on a street tennis court.Judging by his posture and eyes, it seems that he is also a tennis player.

I warmed up and teed off, but he hit it back on the first hit and I didn't even have time to react.Soon, judging from the wind, he was also very powerful. Even for a high school student, Tokugawa Kazuya's strength was too high.

However, I, who have been abused by Yukimura and the others, are most afraid of people who are stronger than me, so don't underestimate me.Throw the ball, jump up, give it a hard shot.This set of movements, I have long been familiar with the heart.

Three 10 minutes later.

It turned out to be six to zero.I was already able to draw with Yukimura [-] to [-], and now, I will be cut to nothing, even if the opponent is a high school student, it is too much.

"You," he folded his arms and stood beside me condescendingly, "how long has it been since you practiced?"

"Three months." I haven't played tennis since the tournament.

"What a disgrace, wasting my time."

Sure, Tokugawa Kazuya must be a tennis freak too.

"That's really embarrassing." I stood up sweating profusely while propping up the racket, but I couldn't stand still. Tokugawa Kazuya quickly reached out to help me.

"Hey, won't you be unconvinced?" He helped me to sit on the grass next to me.

"Not everyone has to like what you like, Liu Hai-kun." He glared at me, and I held my head and continued, "If I continue to play tennis, I might pester you to teach me, but , forget it now.”

"why?"

"The national competition is over, there is no need to practice." I lay back on the grass, "Our doubles first and women's tennis vice-minister Hu Yamei is going to be admitted to a high school in Tokyo, and the doubles second Sakura is moving to Kansai. After graduating from high school, the two pairs of doubles were broken up, so why play tennis.”

"child."

"..."

"If you don't do it together, you can't do it. What is it if you're not a child?"

"It's meaningless if we don't do it together. I said, for those of us, even if we don't work hard, life is like this. Since we can't find meaning, there is no need to practice day and night. Really Is it fun to practice? I'm exhausted."

Tokugawa Kazuya also lay back, "Little child."

"If you can't understand what others are saying, it's because of your own IQ problem. Don't call others a child."

"child."

"……"never mind.

"Engaged, do you agree?"

"It's okay." I don't hate Tokugawa Kazuya.

"Me too."

"Oh."

So after we repeated this kind of meeting several times, the matter was settled, and the parents of both parties were very satisfied with the marriage.Facing the cheerful conversation of the parents, Tokugawa Kazuya and I looked at each other, and then, those who drink tea drink tea, those who eat cakes eat pastries, and don't bother to pay attention to them.No wonder the second sister would say that Tokugawa and I are also suitable, because we both know this kind of marriage well, but we don't particularly resist it.

Back at school, although the women's tennis game was gone, we still frantically studied and took classes seriously in order to compete with Yagyu in the graduation exam.Tsk, I made my father laugh like this.The life that was supposed to be back on track was broken by an invitation card before the spring break.

"U-[-]." Picking up the letter from the current women's tennis minister and second-year student Zai Yuanya, I lightly traced the signature on it with my finger.

"Yes, Minister. U-[-] is the Japanese youth team, which has gathered top young players. I didn't expect to invite middle school students this year! They always only look for high school students. This time, they invited us. The first-choice player!"

"You are the minister," I patted Yuan Yasheng's head with the book on the table, "Even if your tennis is bad, you are the only one who hasn't missed training for a day, just because you are a cow Go ahead, come out with a bit of ministerial aura.”

"... Mayumi-senpai, I always feel that I can't be happy when you say that..."

Before I traveled, I heard that "The King of the Net" would have a sequel after the national competition, and it was U-[-], but I hadn't seen it, so I didn't know the plot.In fact, it is good not to know, just like everyone does not know the fate of themselves and others, it is also good not to know the fate that Xu Fei has set for them.At least, there are fewer things that need to be rotten in the heart.

"Ping," while I was still thinking about the U-[-] invitation card, my classmate Sanada walked over with folded arms, "It seems that you have also received it."

"Also..." I looked at him, "So, there are men's nets too."

"Yes, we have received all the main selections of the men's net."

"you want to go?"

"Of course, right?"

"Obviously you are about to take the high school entrance examination, you are really relaxed. Then I agree." This will be the last training camp with Sayuri and the others.

"Minister!" Sayuri Imagawa ran to the door of my class, "Have you received it? Great! We can go to the U-[-] training camp!"

"It's so noisy." I slapped her on the head, "It turns out that the tiger teeth have the effect of amplifying the sound. Ah, it may also be that your hair is cut short, and there is something missing to block your harsh voice."

"...I just said one thing, Minister, don't keep complaining, hey!"

Before going to the training camp, Tokugawa Kazuya and I went to have dinner.

"...Fortunately, men's tennis and women's tennis are trained separately." It turns out that Tokugawa and Kazuya are both members of U-[-].

"You really don't want to see me?"

"No, I'm afraid that the momentum of our women's tennis team will frighten you."

He chuckled, "You really don't blink when you talk big."

"You don't blink when you're a daffodil."

"I didn't expect the level of middle school students to be so bad. You are also called a national champion."

"I didn't expect U-[-]'s level to be so bad, and a sea monster like you was also selected." I stuffed a piece of steak into my mouth.

"I don't know about the women's tennis, but don't underestimate U-[-]. After entering, be careful."

I glanced at him, "It seems to be based on your experience."

"It can be said like this."

Even people like him have been defeated by U-[-], it seems that the next days are worth looking forward to.After we finished eating, we held the couple movie tickets given by our parents, looked at each other, and then threw them into the trash can at the same time.Let me and Tokugawa Kazuya watch romance movies, sick.

As it turned out, he went to practice at a tennis center and I sat next to him to sleep.

"Maumi?" He pushed me awake.

I wiped my eyes and looked at Kazuya Tokugawa.

"gone."

"Oh."

He led me to the bus stop, and I kept yawning.

"You can speak out if you feel bored."

"No, sleeping is the greatest entertainment for me." We sat down on a bench at the bus stop.

"You really have no ambitions."

"Life goes by yawning, thinking too much about teenagers who are prone to gray hair."

"Sleep, I'll call you when the car comes."

"Yeah." I fell asleep leaning on his shoulder.

When I woke up again, it was already the next morning.It seems that Tokugawa Kazuma also sent me back directly... The problem is that I didn't set the alarm clock in advance, and I was going to be late for the U-[-] training camp.

I wiped my face, stuffed some clothes into my backpack, picked up my tennis bag and ran to the station.When I arrived, it was already empty.I took out my phone and saw Huya girl sent me a message.

"minister:

The car is coming, let's go first, you can find a way to come here.

Sayuri

I calmly put away my mobile phone, then waved my hand and stopped a taxi──who did she think I wanted to squeeze the bus early in the morning for?idiot.For the second generation ancestor, a taxi is very convenient.

In the end, I sat leisurely in the U-[-] women's tennis camp and waited for them to come running over panting.This training camp is really interesting enough. When we come up, we are asked to play grabbing the ball, and those who don't grab the ball will be brushed off.For these balls, disputes occurred between the camps of junior high school students and high school students.

"You middle schoolers, hand the ball over!" an ugly girl with big boobs yelled at us.

I looked around, only to find that the coach was gone.It appears that such challenges are tacitly tolerated.I looked at Akiba Monobe in the apple orchard.

"Red-haired girl, cut her off."

"You bastard, don't be so smug." Akiba Monobe went out to accept the challenge calmly, and defeated the ugly girl with a tennis ball.

"Yes~" Another coach came out, "The middle school students seem to be doing well. However, the ones who are defeated by you are only the low-ranking high school students. Well, in order to let you take further tests, please ask Everyone in a team of two~"

Does he want us to play doubles?When I was about to form a group with Sayuri, I was called by the coach.

"Ah~ I forgot to mention, Masumi Hira of Tachikai University doesn't need to combine, you have another training menu."

I glanced at him, didn't ask much, just stood aside.It turned out that it was not a doubles match, but a match against the doubles partner he thought he had. If he lost, he would be removed from the dorm list.It's wicked enough, and cruel enough.I vaguely understood why the coach refused to let me participate.No matter who the opponent is, my style of play will be as stable as ever, and the fight with my teammates is not enough to affect my emotions──Just think about it with your brain, how could it be possible to really select thousands of people? These people who are defeated are at most sending the losers to another place for retraining.

"Okay, Hira-san, shall we go somewhere else?"

I looked at the coach who was more than two meters tall and didn't move, "Say it clearly." From his appearance, he wanted to take me to the separation and reunion place.

"Oh, students who are too smart are also very troublesome." He rubbed the back of his head, "Student Ping, you know that? Given how much your members rely on you, if you stay here, it will only make them change." A strong burden."

I know, I just...wanted to sleep with them one more time.

"For you," the coach smiled slightly, but with an inexplicable cruelty, "they will also be your burden."

He's really good, just a little bit short, and I'm angry.However, I also know what he said.The people who depend on it are not only Sayuri and the others, but also me.As Tokugawa Kazuya said, like a child, I clung to this team and refused to let go.

"Come on, let's go."

I thought about it, looked at them, then carried the bag and left.This coach named Saitozhi took me to a forest, said that there would be interesting things falling from the sky, and then left me alone.I sat on the ground bored, leaning against a big rock, looking at the clear stream next to me.

It seems wrong to like them very much.

I don't know how long I waited, but when it was almost dark, a lot of things suddenly fell down with screams.I walked over silently and tiptoed one of the things.Oh, it can move, so it's not dead.

"...Ping, it's too bad to kick with your feet!" That thing──Nio Masaharu, spat out a mouth full of leaves, and then yelled at me.

I looked at the not-so-high cliff above and the layers of thick leaves on the ground.Although it is said that no one will fall to death, but coaching them is really too bad.The fun things I'm waiting for are probably those who also participated in the U-[-].

After everyone sat around the fire in the cold night, I heard about them from Lian Er. Men's tennis had the same form of sparring as women's. The loser, that is, It was their group who were tricked into coming to this remote mountain, saying that they could become stronger by climbing that mountain.On the way forward, they all fell because the suspension bridge broke.

boring.It must be that those wicked uncle coaches want to use some strange methods to train people again.

I looked at Lian Er, "You lost too?"

"Red too."

Oh, he handicaped Chi Ye. "Akiya's situation, you don't have to look at it yourself, so you can rest assured. Cruel-hearted senior." I also saw the situation of Chiya Kirihara. Not growing well.

"Don't worry, I asked someone to watch him, not to mention, Jingshi is also here."

Yukimura.

I looked at Genichiro Sanada not far away.He looks like a dog in the water, and he knows who defeated him without asking.

"Masumi," Sadaharu asked me, "why are you here?"

"The trainer said just wait here and some fun stuff will drop."

"..."

"Damn it!" Shishido Ryo from Hyotei Academy patted the ground with a branch, "They must think us losers are funny!"

Boy, you think too much.I guess the coach just wants to make you angry, and then obediently train hard.

"Just win it back," I said, "that's why you're here."

Even if he is tricked into a strange place, he still wants to stay in U-[-], but he just wants to become stronger and win back.Therefore, there is no need to be depressed, Nioh, Sanada.You must be unwilling to lose to Yagyu and Yukimura.

I also don't want to be said to be a burden to Sayuri and the others, and I don't want them to be a burden to me, so I stay in this boring place.

I am not reconciled to being said to be a dog in the water crying and hugging each other.

U-[-], let's try it out.

The author has something to say: Tokugawa Kazuya, is this bomb enough to explode?

The next chapter will be updated at twelve o'clock in the evening.
