Time is like a song

After I won the mixed doubles championship at the French Open, my year ended with all four Grand Slams being eliminated in the semifinals. Sanada was even worse than me, he was eliminated in the quarterfinals in all of them.He must have had some bad luck and messed with me.In mixed doubles, he successfully won the US Open championship, and was runner-up at Wimbledon.

Thanks to the blessing of two Grand Slam mixed doubles titles this year, Sanada and I have rocketed up the rankings again.Counting points from other tournaments and Grand Slam semi-finals, I moved up to No. 4 in the world and No. 3 in doubles, while Sanada was No. 2 and No. [-] in doubles. No. [-] is Seiichi, No. [-] is Echizen, and No. [-] is Tezuka.

In fact, I think the rankings of men's tennis are very strange—I have never seen a situation where more than half of the top ten in the world are Japanese.

I curled my lips—maybe "The Prince of Tennis" is still in use.

But this has nothing to do with me, the so-called plot just treat it as fate.Separation of righteousness and destiny.It's up to God, but what I should do right now has nothing to do with fate.Even if fate dooms me to fail, it doesn't affect the fact that I should work hard now.Besides, don't I not know the plot now?If you don't do it, who knows the result?This is what Lihai University High School taught me.

Since I am ranked in the top eight in the world, I am eligible to participate in the WTA year-end tournament, and I will compete against the players with the highest current world ranking and strength.This, another game that exhausted me, and I didn't win the championship, tsk.After relaxing for a week in December, I have to go to the Australian Open in Melbourne in January.

I won the mixed doubles championship.Women's singles... I stopped at runner-up, asshole.

Sanada from the sidelines looked at me and pressed his hat.You are clearly making fun of me, you wooden man, I curse you.

Then, Sanada stopped in the semi-finals in the men's singles at the Australian Open.

puff!Ha ha ha ha.

Jingshi, like me, was also the runner-up.As the time we meet increases, I will no longer always jump on him as soon as I see him like before, but I still love him very much.I don't know why, as long as I know that Youjingshi is thinking of me in a certain corner of the earth, my heart will be very peaceful.It was finally a loss, and I never lost my temper on the court.The coach said that I should be a little more unwilling and angry, so that I can go further.He said, Jingshi is my hindrance.I just smiled and answered him, no.

not like this.Even though thinking about him is tiring and loving him takes a lot of effort, I can do other things better because of him.It seems a bit illogical, but it's true.

I love him very much.

At the age of 23, I became the first Japanese female player ranked No. 3000 in the world.I'm so sorry, I want to change my membership.Ah, also, I am the first female player who is ranked No. [-] in the world but has not won the four Grand Slam women's singles championships. What a frustrating title.Sanada and I also won all the mixed doubles championships in the four Grand Slams this year, scoring [-] points in one go.In addition to my four super and super set four Grand Slam women's singles AFC Champions League, and other championships, I am firmly ranked first in the WTA singles rankings and doubles with more than [-] points and [-] points. .

Sanada is luckier than me, he is only third in men's singles and first in doubles.Tsk, I curse him with the same fate as me, the idiot of the four men's singles semifinals.However, he is finally ranked ahead of Jingshi who maintains No.4, so he has fulfilled his goal of winning Jingshi, right?

However, he still couldn't beat the current world No. [-] Tezuka.In the men's singles match against Shang Jingshi, he still lost.useless.puff!Hahahaha~

A year has passed, and Sanada and I are preparing for the new season of the Australian Open in Australia.

"Hei, what are you thinking again?" Sanada asked me on the way back to the hotel after practice in the evening.

"I was thinking, this year I must break the curse." Always stuck in the same position, what's going on?

He turned his face silently, "How about we split up?"

"Sanada, don't talk like that, you are the one who dragged me down, don't act like you dislike me."

"... Forget it." He actually pouted like me.

"Sanada," I turned my face away, "thank you." Although practicing doubles can also help individuals improve, but playing singles and doubles in the same event will actually be tiring and affect performance.Sanada is going crazy with me.

"Thinking so much, you are so lax!" He also turned his face away, "Anyway, you brought me to the job site together, so let's win together."

"Win, of course," I pressed my hat, "partner."

"Um."

Then, at the age of 24, I continued the sad title from the previous year, and even Sanada won the Wimbledon championship, defeating Seiichi with dignity.

At the WTA year-end tournament, when I lost in the final again, I shook hands with my opponent calmly, then turned around with my lips pursed.Obviously, I won her in the second-level tour next to the Grand Slams, but I always lost in the highest-level Grand Slams and year-end tournaments.If you've been wronged for two years, it shouldn't be too much to lose your temper, right?

"Maumi?" Seichi from the audience called me.

I pursed my lips.

"Maumi," he smiled softly, "weak."

"……"asshole.

"We're going to win," he told me, leaning over the railing.

"...Hmm. Hug."

"Okay." He jumped off the railing and hugged me obediently.

I fell on his shoulders, and my mood gradually calmed down.Yes, no matter how hard I try, I am not unhappy in this game.The opponent is also a good opponent.

"Seiki, I love you."

"Well," he smiled and pecked my lips, "I love you too."

"...I said," Akaya, who was also sitting in the audience, said with a red face, "Senior Seiichi, Mayumi-senpai, can you restrain yourself?"

Jingshi and I looked at each other, smiled and said together: "No."

Back in the waiting room, the coach patted me on the shoulder, "It doesn't matter, you are still young."

"Yes."

"...I won't say that your fiancé is your drag. Maintain your current state of mind. You will succeed next year."

I froze for a moment, then laughed, "Yes, thank you, Coach Abbott."

At the end of December, I returned to Japan with Seichi.In addition to taking a break, I also plan to visit Principal Tsutomu Yoshizawa, whom I haven't seen for more than a year.He retired, life should be very stable.I called, but the person who answered was not President Yoshizawa, but Mrs. Yoshizawa.

"...What?" I clenched my fists.

"I also thought about telling you, but Ah Mian refused, saying that it would hinder you."

"...Which hospital is it, please? Can I come over?"

After hanging up the phone, I stood there in a daze.

"Maumi?" Seiichi opened the door and came into my room, putting his arm around my shoulders, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you say you called Principal Yoshizawa?"

"Jingshi," I held his hand, "Principal Yoshizawa had a stroke half a month ago and was admitted to the hospital," I bit my lip, "Mrs. Yoshizawa said that the situation is very serious, and now only one , two hours is awake."

Jingichi didn't say anything, just shook my hand firmly.

I still have a lot to say to Principal Yoshizawa.

Accompanied by Seiichi, I went to the hospital early the next morning, and saw Principal Yoshizawa with many tubes inserted all over his body.Principal, you look ugly now, not good-looking at all.Not good looking.

We waited all day, and Principal Yoshizawa never woke up.Mrs. Yoshizawa asked us to go back first, and I shook my head.Who knows when Principal Yoshizawa will suddenly wake up?I don't want to go.I want to speak to Principal Yoshizawa.I asked Jingshi to go back to rest first, and he flicked my forehead.

"You forgot again." He hugged me, "I said, I love you. If you want to drive me away, there is no way. Mayumi, if you are unhappy, you can lean on me." I leaned on his shoulder, and he lightly He patted me on the back lightly, "Good."

I pursed my lips.

Principal Yoshizawa also said that I am very good.

We waited for four full days, but Principal Yoshizawa didn't wake up.The Australian Open is about to start, but Principal Yoshizawa is still awake, so I can't leave.I want to talk to him, asshole.

"Maumi," Seiichi and I sat on the bench outside the ward, I leaned on his shoulder, "I support your decision."

"……how about you?"

He smiled, "I'm not leaving either."

"……it is good."

"Good." He hugged my shoulders tightly.

Day by day passed, and Principal Yoshizawa still didn't wake up.We talked to the coach and decided to practice on our own in Japan, and then see if we can start the competition in time.I also told Sanada, and he also supported my decision, it doesn't matter if I don't come back in time to play mixed doubles.Seiichi and I practice sparring at the tennis park near the hospital while waiting for Principal Yoshizawa.

When we waited until No. 13 days, Principal Yoshizawa finally woke up.Principal Yoshizawa's eldest son came to see us and told us to go to the ward as soon as possible.

"Principal Yoshizawa!" I rushed into the ward and shook his hand.

"...Masumi-chan." Principal Yoshizawa, wearing an oxygen mask, called me with difficulty.

"Well, get well soon, I will give you my first Grand Slam women's singles championship trophy, okay?"

"But..." His face moved, as if he was laughing, "Makoto, isn't it the Queen of the Curse? I...I saw it...Makoto...Makoto, the year-end tournament, and...again lost."

I reached out and wiped away the tears that blocked my sight, "Don't spit on me again! I will definitely win! The next Australian Open, I will definitely win! Also, don't you rarely watch tennis matches? Suddenly What's the matter with being so familiar with the competition system and those bastard titles?"

"...Ha...haha. Ko...Masumi-chan, yes...you...you will...win sooner or later. But...now...what date is...?"

I pursed my lips and said nothing.

"Quick... Hurry up and go to the competition..."

I bit my lip, shook my head, desperately. "don't want."

"Go... Mayumi... said... I will... give the Australian Open... the trophy... to me..., I won, please... treat you to chocolate... oh." Principal Yoshizawa slowly He raised his hand and stroked my hair.

"don't want."

"Small... Mayumi... Be good."

I took a few deep breaths and nodded vigorously, "Okay, then you wait for me! I...I want you to be the witness of my marriage with Jingshi!"

"...Go...go." He moved the corner of his mouth again.

I stood up and bowed ninety degrees to him.I was always annoyed by this before, but now I realize that sometimes, we have to use these actions to express the emotions we want to express.

Then, Jingshi and I rushed to Melbourne to participate in the Australian Open.Before the game started, Seiichi warned me very seriously: "Masumi, don't lose your cool."

"..."

"Principal Yoshizawa doesn't want medals." He pinched my face until tears flowed out, "Think about it, why did he encourage you to play tennis, think about it, What are you playing tennis for?"

All because, I like playing tennis.Principal Yoshizawa should have noticed a long time ago that I like playing tennis.

"It hurts, asshole."

He rubbed my face with his hands, "If it hurts, wake me up and think clearly before going on stage."

Then one game after another, I kept winning singles and mixed doubles, and kept in touch with Japan, paying attention to President Yoshizawa's condition.He is really dying.

Principal Yoshizawa.

Even if I skipped classes willfully, I never gave up on my Principal Yoshizawa.

Sanada and I won the mixed doubles championship again, and finally reached the women's singles final.

Before I entered the arena, I said to Jingshi, "Pinch me."

"Okay." Then he, the pervert, really pinched my face super hard.

OK, sober.I am now using my favorite tennis ball to express my respect to President Yoshizawa.You must play this game with your heart.

Entering the field calmly amid the cheers, I shook hands with my opponent, then walked to the bottom line, took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, turned around, and stood up.

come on.

Finally, when I was almost 25 years old, I won the first women's singles Grand Slam championship in my life.

When the yellow ball fell, I stood there in a daze for a long time.Broken, the spell or something is broken.Principal Yoshizawa, I broke, did you see that?

I was a little dizzy suddenly, and I quickly used the racket to support it on the ground.I looked up at Jingshi, who was holding his mobile phone and said two words to me.

It was so loud on the pitch that I couldn't hear what Jingshi was saying, but I did know what he was talking about.

He said, let's go.

gone.Principal Yoshizawa, let's go.

I immediately fell to the ground and cried.

"Wow...Principal Yoshizawa, you lied, woo...you lied to me...you lied to me...uu...you said you would wait for me to give you the trophy! Wuwa...you lied to me...you lied I...uwa...Principal Yoshizawa...Principal Yoshizawa...」

Seiki ran over and hugged me.

"Uuuuuuuuu... Seichi, Principal Yoshizawa lied to me...he lied to me...uuuu...Seiichi...Seiki..."

"Yes, I am, Mayumi, I am. Mayumi," he hugged me tightly, "I am, I am."

"Uwah...Principal Yoshizawa is dead...He is dead...Principal Yoshizawa...Uwah...Principal Yoshizawa...Principal Yoshizawa...Uwah...Uwa..."

Then, on a sunny morning in winter, Principal Yoshizawa went to the funeral.

I put on an all-black suit, held the trophy, and attended the funeral accompanied by Seiichi in a black suit.I watched Principal Yoshizawa's last side in silence.After the ceremony, the staff of the funeral home closed the lid of the coffin and nailed it with long and sharp nails, nailing it tightly.Even if Principal Yoshizawa suddenly came back to life, it is impossible for him to come out.

Really, gone.

Jingichi took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away my tears.later.Seeing that I couldn't wipe away my tears no matter what, he simply pressed my head into his arms and made me cry.

When the hearse set off, it encountered a little obstacle.The fact that I burst into tears as soon as the final was over was widely publicized by the media, and soon, everyone who cared knew that it was because of the death of Principal Yoshizawa.The matter spread more and more widely, and as a result, reporters even came to visit President Yoshizawa on the day of his funeral.It is said that a large part of the people who came to the funeral today were former students of President Yoshizawa. Seeing the chaos, they spontaneously helped to maintain order.

I pursed my lips.I am angry.

"Maumi." Seiichi nodded to me.

So I climbed on a chair and yelled.

"Get out of here you bastards!"

The scene was silent for a moment, and then there was a louder drum noise. These journalists with vicious mouths were choking on me, saying that they were just doing interviews, that they had freedom of the press, that I was a public figure, and that the public only cared about me.

"Concerned? Are you caring because you are blocking the principal's way? Don't distort the facts! If you want to make big news, just admit it, don't be hypocritical! Selfish. If you are not selfish, get out of the way! Stop the hearse from starting, you guys These bastards, read to the bathroom, can't even respect! I feel ashamed to be human with you. Get out of my way, you bastards!!!!!!" I finally yelled.

Finally a way was cleared.

I apologize to Mrs. Yoshizawa with a bow.

Mrs. Yoshizawa patted my head and smiled on her tear-stained face, "Son, if you get angry too much, you will get wrinkles. Be good, don't be angry."

I pursed my lips and said nothing.

The hearse, wrapped in white ribbons and wreaths, slowly drove to the cemetery, and the coffin was carried into a pit.One at a time, the soil covered it. Gradually, I could no longer see the coffin lid, and gradually, the pit was filled up.

Today's weather is fine, cloudless.

On the way back, Jingshi and I went to take the bus.Sitting in the car, I tilted my head and leaned on Jingshi's shoulder.

"Seiichi, tell me, isn't it cold underground? It's dark, and it doesn't look like Principal Yoshizawa at all." Principal Yoshizawa should be someone with the same weather as today.

"Maumi, no, others say that the kingdom of heaven is beautiful." He shook our hand.

I smiled slightly, "Jingshi, even you are beginning to believe these lies." In addition to the trophy for the principal, I also had a big box of chocolates in my hand.Mrs. Yoshizawa gave it to me. She said that Principal Yoshizawa asked her to buy it.I know this type of chocolate, but its price is ridiculously expensive. Such a large box costs about [-] yen.

I opened the box, took out a piece of chocolate, unwrapped the individually wrapped flower paper, and threw the chocolate into my mouth.

Not tasty at all.This is the worst piece of chocolate I've ever eaten.

But thank you, Principal Yoshizawa.Thank you.

"Maumi, Principal Yoshizawa loves you very much."

"Well, I know." I moved a little closer to Jingichi, "Jingichi, I love you."

"Yes, I love you too, Mayumi."

Jingshi pushed all the competitions and took a long vacation to accompany me.He bought a small house, and we moved in together. Apart from playing tennis and training, we just cook and watch boring soap operas together.Four months passed like this, and in May, we made our comeback together at the French Open.
