Time is like a song

This winter vacation, I was invited to join the Japanese national team for training as the women's singles champion of the junior college league. Among the people I know well, only the bald sister Teramura Nanami, who played in the U-[-] match, and Matsudaira from the former Shitenbaoji Yuu, and Yamana Aki who is really familiar.On the first day of the camp, Aki Yamana looked at me and her face twitched.

"It's pathetic to have facial nerve problems at such a young age." I calmly pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of my nose.

"Ah~~~~~" Yamana Aki howled, "Why on earth did I know you since elementary school~ It's been 12 years since we met~~"

Yuu Matsudaira patted Yamana Aki on the shoulder, "You guys met in the elementary school league, right? How pitiful."

I pouted, "Why don't you see the red-haired girl in the apple orchard?"

Yamana Aki's face darkened, "How many times have I said that Monobe Akiba hasn't been in Apple Orchard Middle School for a long time?" She swung her racket in the void annoyedly, "At the beginning of the year, she had an accident with her left foot, and she never ran again. No."

Originally, I heard that Akiha Monobe had already got a contract from the professional tennis club.

I raised my hand and pressed the hat, and everyone didn't speak anymore.The end of the athlete.

"Okay, concentrate," said the bald-headed lady, "your new coach is here. The representative team is different from U-[-], there are only eight members, and everyone aims to be a professional tennis player, and some of them have lived in foreign countries for a long time. Japanese players, don't take it lightly."

"Yes!" As fellow U-[-] training partners, we also began to have a feeling for everyone.

At night I lay in bed and called Yagyu.

"Give me your Xiaoqingxin's phone number."

"...What do you want to do to her?"

"I'm not Nioh, so don't be too nervous."

"No, for you, the alert level is also red."

"..." Liu Sheng, it turns out that you have the paranoia of fighting for survival just like me.

In the end, he gave me Ishikawa Ryo's number without asking too much.I dialed the number.

"Hey?"

"Hello, I'm Yumi Hirama, I hope you still remember me, Xiao Qingxin." Ishikawa Liang was in the third year of high school because of the pressure of the college entrance examination, so he didn't enter U-[-] for training, so I only stayed with her in U-[-] We trained together during the winter vacation of the second year of high school.We can chat, but we are not familiar.

"Ping! Of course I remember you! Hey? Is there something wrong?"

"Of course I called you suddenly because of something. I'm sorry that I took your number from Yagyu without your consent. I called to ask about Akiha Monobe. I remember that you are in the same high school."

"Ah, it's okay. It seems that you also know about Akiba."

I knew about Akiba Monobe from my fresh mouth.After graduating from Pingguoyuan Middle School, she was going to enter a sports college, but she lost the opportunity because of a ligament injury in her left foot, and finally entered the ordinary Bihua High School.Her ligaments seemed to heal, and she was offered another job at the job site when she graduated from high school.It is a pity that in less than a year, she was injured in the game earlier this year, which triggered the old problem of left foot ligament.It is said that this does not affect her daily life, but there is no way to be a professional athlete anymore.

"Downstairs, take a rest," she paused, "don't let other people influence you. People in our field should see clearly about athletes."

The person who slept on the bunk bed above me was Yayoi Nakamura, who came back from the United States, and was only two years older than me.

"Nakamura, if you can see through, you won't make a sound." You will still comfort me, and Nakamura Yayoi's mood doesn't seem to be as indifferent as she appears on the surface.

"...But you can only tell yourself that you have seen it through." The sentence is thorough and contains a lot of helplessness that no one knows.

"You're right, girl with thick lips."

"...I'm kind enough to comfort you, why did you suddenly complain about me, bastard!"

I lightly covered the quilt and closed my eyes, "Don't let others affect you."

"Ah~~~ I was suddenly vomited, who can still sleep!"

If I can't sleep, then you can't sleep either.

I touched my nose and found that I seemed to be getting worse and worse.

At the end of March, the camp ended. I took the address Xiaoqing gave me and went to a suburb of Tokyo to find the red-haired girl.It's a bit rash to do so, but I still want to see how she is doing now.The suburbs are really troublesome, and there are not many buses. If it wasn't for this trip, I wouldn't know there are such places in Tokyo.

Walking on the small road facing the small note in my hand, sideways avoiding the children who were running and frolicking, I looked up and saw a figure practicing swinging.In the simple and dilapidated street tennis court, a girl with long red hair was doing a beautiful and standard tennis swing.Being able to see such an outstanding posture in a small place, this girl is of course the red-haired girl Akiha who once stepped into the job network.

I pushed my sunglasses, walked to a place not far away with my arms folded, and quietly watched Akiba Monobe, who could no longer start running, waving hard.

What she does is pointless, but full of meaning—every desperate, rigorous swing speaks of her love for tennis.

I pursed my lips and moved my feet slightly.I know that feeling well.

"Ping classmate?" Suddenly someone called me from behind. I turned my head and saw that it was Fuji Shusuke and Oishi Shuichiro.

"Hirama Yumi?" I turned around and saw Akiba Monobe looking at me.

Was discovered.

"Are you here to see me like this?" Monobe Akiba said with a wry smile, "You're going to say my movements are ugly."

"No," I took off my glasses, "very pretty." I don't think anyone will say that you are not beautiful if you still insist on swinging your racket under such circumstances.

"...beautiful? Hahahaha..." Akiba Monobe laughed until tears came out, "You always said I was ugly, but when I couldn't run anymore, you said I was beautiful? Hahahaha... ...I have also fallen to the point of being pitied by you Hira Shinumi...hahahaha." She fell to the ground, crying and laughing while clutching her stomach.

I walked over and pulled her up, "You people just don't listen to what you say. Tears will block your vision and you can't see the ball clearly. Wipe it off." I said to Oishi and Fuji on the side: "You caused me to be discovered, Can I ask you to be our referee as compensation?"

Fuji nodded, "Okay, no problem."

"Referee?" Monobe Akiba looked at me incredulously, "You're not going to fight me, are you? I'm like this, you're trying to embarrass me on purpose, right?"

I glanced at her, then pulled out the racket, threw the bag aside, and walked to the opposite court, "Then are you going to play or not?"

Monobe Akiba bit her lip hard, and then said, "I'll hit you."

I warmed up carefully before I started fighting with her.Her feet are really bad, and she can't even catch an ordinary serve from me.I pursed my lips and hit it with my best serve.

With a bang, Monobe Akiba lost his footing because he wanted to chase the ball, and fell to the ground.Dashi quickly ran over to help her up, and said to me, "Student Ping! Hit me lightly!"

"No." I curled my lips, "I fought with the red-haired girl, and I have never held back, and it will be the same this time."

Monobe Akiba glanced at me, then waved to Dayou, indicating that she was fine, and got up by herself.

I exchanged glances with Fuji Shusuke, he nodded knowingly, and said loudly, "Thirty to zero."

This game ended [-]-[-] without me conceding a single goal.I carried the racket and walked to the opposite court, and sat up the tired and bruised Akiba Monobe.

"As an opponent in the retirement match," I sat next to her, brushing away the hair sticking to my neck with one hand, "I am qualified."

"You," she glanced at me, took a sip of the water offered by Fuji, "you're still so arrogant."

"It's not arrogance, I'm just telling the truth." I put the racket on the ground and looked up at the orange sky, "In the near future, you can tell others that your opponent in the retirement match is the women's tennis player Jin Man The consistent winner Hirama Yumi, the opponent tried their best to fight you, but it's a pity that you are too stupid to catch a single ball. But it's okay, even if you fell like a dog, you never gave up persevere till the end

"Hahahaha..." Monobe Akiba laughed, "Your story is really beautiful."

"It's not a story, it's a fact, and the best you can say is it's a prophecy."

"Hahahaha..." Smiling, Akiba Monobe's eyes welled up with tears, "I really like playing tennis." She cried, "I really like playing tennis!"

I hugged her and patted her on the back.I took the tissue from Fuji and wiped her face, "Go and treat the wound after crying."

She was helped to sit on the sidelines, and Dashi helped her deal with her injuries.I sat in the tennis court to Fuji, looked at Oishi and Monobe, and then we looked at each other tacitly.It seems that I accidentally became a matchmaker.Please, Yuelao, if you want to tie the knot, please go down to earth by yourself, and trouble me what's going on.

Fuji and I took the first step on the pretext that we had something to do, and let Oishi, who suddenly became very congenial with Monobe, send her home.Everything happened in just two hours, it was unbelievable, unbelievable.

When standing at the bus station waiting for a long time for a bus, Fuji looked at me with a smile.

I glanced at him, "The one smiling is thinking something bad, little bear man."

"Pfft!" Bu Er laughed with a good temper, "Mr. Ping, every time I see you, you seem to be a little different."

I curled my lips, "That's because you have bad eyesight."

"Ping-san, don't worry," he offered me a piece of marshmallow, "I think Monobe-san will be fine, she is very strong."

"Boys have marshmallows, you are really broken." I threw the marshmallows into my mouth, "I'm not worried about her, even if she doesn't get better today, she still has tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. One day, she will be fine Yes." I crossed my arms and leaned against the station sign, "You should have seen her when you were at U-[-]. Monobe was even more arrogant than me." I curled my lips, "This bastard, no matter how strong or weak the opponent is, , it’s always going to be [-] to [-]. If you want me to say, [-] to [-] is obviously more handsome.”

Fuji smiled and handed me another piece of cotton candy.I glanced at him, took the marshmallow, and dropped it in my mouth again.After eating, I looked at him silently──I want to eat.Buer chuckled, and put a whole pack of marshmallows in my hand.I held the packaging bag and gnawed piece by piece.

"If you're in a bad mood, eating something sweet will make you happier." Fuji said.

"I'm not in a bad mood. Where are you studying now?"

"Sadaharu and I are both at Keio University. Hira-san is at Todai, right?"

I nodded, "Law Department."

"I'm chemistry."

I looked at him, "Not like." He didn't look like someone who studied chemistry.

"Haha, Mr. Ping doesn't look like someone who studied law. You are in this year's college league, and Sadaharu even pulled us to watch."

"Have you played tennis yet?"

"Yeah, yes. But, it's not a career goal."

Chatting idly, we broke up when we got back to the city, and I took the Shinkansen back to Kanagawa.When I got off the bus with the shoulder straps of my backpack, I saw a person at the station who shouldn't be here.

Jingshi is Jingshi.

I was taken aback for a moment, then quickly ran to him and stood still.

"Maumi?" Seiichi looked at me with a smile.

"hug."

"Okay." He bent down and hugged me tightly.

I clutched the clothes on Jingichi's back with both hands, feeling a little unreal.Jingshi, who has been training in the UK, why is he here?Am I delusional because I miss him so much?

"Woo..."

"Oh, I'm crying again." Seiichi gently pushed me away, and wiped my tears with his hand, "Is Mayumi unhappy seeing me? Why are you crying?"

"Woo... woo..." I burst into tears, "Jingshi... woo..."

"Yes, I'm here. Mayumi, I'm here." He hugged me tightly again.

"Woo...I miss you so much, woo...I don't dare to call you often, woo...I'm afraid I will hinder you... woo...I really want you to hug me, woo...I want to kiss you, but I can only kiss the pillow, woo woo... I dare not kiss the photo, I'm afraid it will spoil the photo... woo woo... woo..."

"Well," he tilted his head and kissed my ear, "I miss you too, miss you very much."

"Woooo..."

"Makoto, Makoto..." Jingichi hugged me very hard, almost making me breathless, and I finally believed that Jingichi in front of me was real, not my delusion.

"Woo... Seichi... Woo..."

"Yes, I'm here, Mayumi, I'm back."

I don't know how long I cried before I wiped away my tears, held hands with Jingshi, and walked towards my home in the dark.My grandparents disappeared again, and my younger brothers died in unknown corners. I could only yell at the empty room that I was hungry.After crying, I always feel very hungry.

Jingshi smiled and lifted the bag in his hand, only then did I realize that he was holding a lot of ingredients.

"I came to look for you as soon as I got off the plane, but you were not here. Your brother said you would come back around dusk, so I went home to put down my luggage, bought some ingredients, and waited for you at the station." He kissed me For a moment, "Let's cook at home? Your brother won't come back, I sent Maki to entangle them."

"I do not know how to cook."

He scratched my nose, "I know."

So, I stayed at the kitchen table with my head supported, watching Jingshi cook skillfully.

"I didn't know you could cook either."

"I just learned it recently," he cut vegetables neatly, "I live in a foreign country, and if I eat out every meal, I will get tired, so I learned to cook some side dishes."

I curled my lips, "You still told me it's not hard work."

He laughed, "It's just cooking." He turned around and pinched my face, "If I don't know how, when I get married in the future, who will cook for Mayumi?"

"Nobody wants to marry you, megalomaniac."

"Oh my, won't Mayumi marry me?" He tilted his head, "Then who just hugged me and cried like a child?"

I looked away slightly, "Go away, bastard."

"Hahahaha~"

"Why did you come back so suddenly?" I was still thinking, if I really couldn't help it, I would sneak over to see him.The big deal is not to let him know.

"There will be competitions in May, so the coach will let us rest for five days at the end of March, and we will practice intensively in April."

five days?I widened my eyes, "Hey, you come back and forth, you only have about three days left in Japan. You should stay in the UK and rest well, you will be exhausted by the long-distance flight."

"Masumi," he stuffed a piece of fried meat into my mouth, "it's okay." He smiled and kissed me lightly, "I want to see Mayumi."

Fool.

I quickly swallowed the piece of meat, then reached out and pulled his neck down, leaning forward to kiss him.

"Maumi," Seiichi blushed abnormally when they parted, "I still have to eat."

"Of course," I glanced at him, "what do you want to do without eating?"

Jingshi was a little bit crazy.

After eating, we lay on my bed and I held him in my arms.In this way, the clock slowly turned to twelve o'clock.

"Maumi, I'm going back."

"You're not Cinderella." What's the matter with leaving at twelve o'clock.

"Maumi?" He patted my head.

"..." He didn't speak, and he didn't withdraw his hand.

He smiled helplessly, "Maumi, good boy."

"Don't." I haven't seen you for almost a year, I want to let go, you are sick.Do not sprinkle.

"Maumi." He turned over, leaned down and kissed me, "I'll be over early tomorrow morning, I can't stay in your room too late, idiot."

I pursed my lips, stretched out my hand to pull back the ejaculation that was about to get up, and kissed it.I won't let you go, you bastard.

"Maumi, if you don't let me go," he panted slightly, and pressed his forehead to mine, "I will get pregnant."

"Pfft!" I couldn't help laughing.

"Maumi." He looked helplessly at me laughing so hard that I staggered and rolled around.

"Hahahaha~" I already understood why Jingshi would scare me with such a scary topic as pregnancy.The idiot.

He covered his forehead, then laughed along with me.

I pulled him over, turned over and pressed the whole person on top of him, entangled him desperately.I just won't let you go, hit me if you have the ability, tsk.

"It seems that Mayumi really wants to get pregnant?"

I glanced at him, "No one stipulates that if you lie on the bed together after twelve o'clock, you will get pregnant. Jingshi, your thoughts are not pure."

Jingshi was choked.Finally, he sighed and stretched out his arms to hug me tightly.

"Okay, I'll listen to Mayumi, I'm not leaving."

"Don't make it sound like you're wronged, you're obviously very happy."

"Hahahaha~" He laughed and kissed my forehead, "Yes, I am very happy. Mayumi, I miss you very much."

I buried my head on his chest, and said in a muffled voice, "I miss you too." However, in order for us all to become professional tennis players, this is something we can't help, no matter how hard we work, we have to endure it.

"Masumi, I love you."

"I love you, Seiichi."
