[True luck] My young taming is too lax!

Although Yukimura is still hovering at the bottleneck, time will not wait much.

Since the list of players was announced, many people gradually only showed up in the morning training and then disappeared in the past few days.Everyone's training menu has been adjusted, and at the same time, almost the small stadium in the accommodation is fully occupied, and practice games that do not count scores and ignore seniors are staged every day.

Yukimura and Yanagi have also become popular candidates for the competition request in the middle school student group.The former is currently the target that no one can beat. Many people want to see their own weaknesses and evolution direction through him, while Liu can provide opponents with information about the game they are least good at.The two were asked for guidance every day after their training and competitions, so Sanada had to be separated from his lover, and had no time to spend together until evening.

"Even if you don't serve as the captain, you are no less free than Atobe."

At dinner time, Sanada and Yukimura sat down at the table.At this time, most people were about to finish their meals, and the tables in the restaurant were vacant.The two of them faced the floor-to-ceiling windows, enjoying the world of two quietly.

"What is Atobe doing?" Yukimura asked him with a smile.

"Read the documents and understand the players' information. It seems that he still has company affairs." Sanada took a sip of tea, "He is really good at these tasks, even if he has a lot of things to do, he can arrange his time well."

The teenagers who have been used to it for a long time may be very familiar with the work of these leaders. In other words, no one will take over the position of captain as quickly as Atobe without needing to adapt.Yukimura felt more and more that the candidate he recommended was the most suitable, and if it was him, it would definitely waste more time and energy.

He looked at the lover beside him whom he rarely got along with in the past few days, and raised the corners of his mouth, "Thinking about it now, it's fortunate that I rejected it."

Sanada raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Are you really doing it for me?"

Yukimura smiled without saying a word.If "concentrate on tennis" is used as an excuse, it is not in line with the style he has served as Minister Lihai for the past three years. He is confident that even if he leads the team, he will not fall behind in strength.But Genichiro would be extremely proud if he told his true feelings.In order not to be left with pigtails, Yukimura decided that he would never tell him the reason.

"By the way, how are the preparations for the review? The day after tomorrow, I will go back to school for the exam, and Chiya has been pestering Yagyu and the others for tutoring these days." Yukimura couldn't help smiling and shaking his head when he thought of the child who was so nervous that he couldn't sleep these days. "What did you tell him that made him so anxious?"

Sanada snorted coldly and frowned, "If you fail the exam, you will be disqualified from the competition."

"... Genichiro, you've learned how to deceive people too."

"He still hasn't assumed the self-consciousness of a school team, he is too lax."

Looking at the dissatisfied expression on his lover's face, Yukimura sighed softly, "Don't be too harsh, I think Chi is just using this time to act like a baby with everyone."

That child has realized very early on that he and his seniors will not stay in junior high school forever, Yukimura sometimes sees Akaya staring blankly at these people in Lihai, as if in a daze thinking about something .Every time he found this, Yukimura felt sour in his heart.

They had played together for three years, and only after Chi Ye joined Li Hai's team did they have one more junior whom they could tease together.Rather than saying that everyone in Lihai likes to bully Akaya, it is better to say that everyone will treat him as their younger brother and help him grow up, but when they find that the boy has transformed into a teenager, they let out a sigh of loss.

Yukimura patted Sanada's hand, and both fell silent.There is not much time left for Lihai to reorganize the team. After the World Cup, what Xingmura and the others are facing is a team that must quickly organize a lineup for the next round of national competitions.

"Suka Kashima sent me an email to say that the joint practice of the high school and university department has made great progress, and those second graders have basically reached the level requirements we left behind." Yukimura whispered, "Akaya and the others The three who will carry the Big Three next year, and the other doubles can also pass, what we left for Chiye is not a mess."

He and Sanada are like elder brothers who can't let go of their younger brother. On the one hand, he hopes that Chi can grow up and become stable quickly, and on the other hand, he hopes that he will always be that simple child.

"I know." Sanada nodded. Even Chiye's naive personality always brings surprises to people in tennis. He is very relieved whether it is strength or potential.It's just that rather than leading others, maybe that child needs to walk with others more.

"Don't think about him for now. Do you have any plans for the half-day vacation after the exam, Jingshi?"

"Huh? I'm at home with my sister, what's the matter?"

Sanada hesitated for a while, then slowly replied, "I plan to confess to my family that I am dating you, are you... are you free?"

Yukimura blinked, and it took him a long time to realize what his lover had said.He couldn't help opening his mouth slightly, and nodded slowly, "...well, I'm free."

Sanada breathed a sigh of relief, with a relieved smile on his face, "At least before going to the world, I don't think there is any worry about the future between us. My family will also watch the broadcast of our games, so there is no need to worry about it. I have scruples."

Yukimura stared carefully at Sanada's expression as if he didn't know him, "So cunning... Genichiro, if you say that, they will definitely be concerned about our game status and won't have any objections."

Sanada didn't think of this at all, but when Yukimura mentioned it, he thought about it seriously for a while.He never considered that his family would object. Rather, he found a good hunch when he sent an email to test his mother's attitude a few days ago, so he made up his mind to make it public at this time.Yukimura's family is free and open, and he is more worried about the reaction of his grandfather and Sasuke.

"I'm afraid that kid Sasuke won't consider my feelings at all..." Sanada frowned, feeling that he was more nervous about the conversation at home than the exam.

His mind is full of the scenes of Sasuke pestering Yukimura when he was a child and never leaving, and finally he is like Akaya, unable to sleep well.

-

Perhaps these teenagers in the U17 camp are among the best in the tennis field, but when faced with a thin paper, everyone is equal.After nearly a month, the students of Lihai finally saw those familiar shadows appearing on the campus.Since many people were selected to participate in the World Cup, in order to match the national team's game time, the school moved up the test time for the tennis department.

Seeing familiar classmates Yukimura also misses the days of activities with everyone.His front seat took a lot of complaints from the girls for him, and he brought out a large paper bag from the storage room of the student union.

"When I think that the days of collecting gifts will continue until Christmas, I feel that I will be pierced by their eyes, Yukimura." Sawano opened the bag and pointed it to Yukimura, "No one will send chocolates and the like stuff, but lots of letters and drawings."

Yukimura curiously picked up a painting tube, opened the lid and pulled out a picture scroll that was a silhouette of Lihai's studio.Looking in from the door, there is a triangular easel with a draft in front of a small stool by the window. On the small table next to it, there are paint trays and brushes next to each other. It seems that the owner of the painting just left his seat for a while .

He recognized that it was his usual seat, and he couldn't help being filled with indescribable emotion.The painting was signed by a high school senior from the art department. In the past, he often discussed abstract painters with him. In his memory, that person rarely painted such realistic works.

Sawano watched him quietly staring at the painting without saying a word, and lowered his eyes, "Everyone hopes you take care of yourself."

Yukimura smiled and turned to look at the petite girl beside him.From being silent and shy together in the country, to slowly blending in with classmates, and even making boyfriends before... Everyone has different paths in their lives, but being able to meet here is the most amazing thing for him .

"Thank you, Sawano."

Yukimura put away the painting carefully, "I've been bothering you about these things, maybe you have been bothering me too." He thought of the grand events of Valentine's Day in the past few years, and the cheerful and steady change of the girl, "I'm sorry I didn't help What are you?"

Sawano laughed, shook his head and looked at this person.Yukimura has always been gentle, and even when talking with people, he will grasp the most comfortable sense of distance.Such a young man with a crystal heart always made people around him unable to help but put him in a position not far or near, he would neither be tempted nor alienated, and he was only regarded as a precious friend.

"If you want to repay me..." The girl turned and walked to the door, leaving him alone in the student union office, "Let me think about it, when I get married, I want the world's number one tennis player to participate How about a wedding?"

Yukimura blinked, "Then I have to work harder."

"Well, come on!" She smiled, made a gesture of support and turned away from Yukimura's sight.

Although no one knows, there will always be a teenager in her memory who appeared in front of her at the age of 12 and lit up her world like an angel.She once wrote down all her feelings on a piece of paper, pondering over the words over and over again, for fear that even a little bit of enthusiasm would offend this person.

The letter has not been placed in an envelope until now.She had never been one of those girls who wrote love letters to Shenzi, she could only quietly act as an intermediary to deliver love letters, and she didn't even have the courage to express her feelings.She thought that she might never be able to overcome this timid self, but she finally understood what she should do when the boy fell ill.She once wept silently holding the copybook that Yukimura, who was in the hospital, gave to everyone, and finally became the person who can bring courage to others and the person she yearns for the most.

She doesn't like this man.

If she had to use one word to describe her mood, perhaps it would be gratitude.

And this feeling, let her tell this person herself on the day when the agreement just now comes true.

Yukimura, who didn't know what his friend was thinking, was staring at the phone screen nervously.He had taken the exam for a whole day today, and his mind was still in a mess at this moment.His parents will be at home tonight, and he didn't tell Youyi in advance that he would be back today. Although it was a surprise, when he thought about what he wanted to let his sister know, he became a little nervous.

The child always regards him as the most important elder brother, and Yukimura often feels that Yui is probably more attached to himself than his parents.He looks down, and his mom's email reminding him of the desserts he bought on the way home has also become a difficult task.

He just went home in a daze, thinking about what Sanada would tell his family, and worrying about his own problems at the same time.After a month, some of the plants in the yard have hibernated, and a few pine branches embellish the greenery.Yukimura bent down and touched the soil in the flower garden, a bit missing the days when he went home to tidy the garden every day.

"Youyi is very good at it now. She doesn't need my help for your flowers anymore. She takes good care of her every day."

The slender woman leaned against the door frame and looked at him with her arms folded.She is obviously almost 40 years old, but she still looks like a girl with melancholy temperament.Her cotton blouse was covered by a shawl fringe over her shoulders, and a pair of cute, fluffy gray rabbit slippers lay under a long soft skirt.

"Mom's shoes are so cute." Yukimura got up and walked over, helping her back and pushing him through the door, "It's a bit cold, don't be willful."

"These slippers are picked by clothes! Look, there are yours." Yukimura's mother took out a pair of sky blue furry rabbits from the cabinet in the entrance and handed them to him. "Father's is pink."

Yukimura laughed, "He still has a special aesthetic as always."

There was a burst of aroma from the kitchen at this time, Yukimura put down his tennis bag and followed his mother to help.

"...Go back to the training camp tomorrow night, and go to Australia for an overseas camp in two days." Yukimura said the subsequent arrangements, and his men washed an apple and cut it into small pieces. "Before leaving, I will go to Genichiro's house."

Yukimura's mother turned her head and glanced at him, "You two children never need to be worried, it's such a big deal that happens rarely." After she knew about Yukimura's plan, she knew that there was no way out.This child has his own opinions since he was a child, and he has to decide everything by himself.Now it must have been secretly dating long ago before remembering to tell the family.

She pursed her lips in displeasure, and muttered softly, "He was very cute when he was young, why did Genichiro become like this when he grows up..."

"Xianichiro is also very cute now, Mom." Yukimura took a plate and put it in her hand with a smile, "I saw you took a lot of photos of him as a child, how much do you like him?"

"Because Seiichi, you don't even blush." ​​Yukimura's mother sighed pretendingly, and reached out to take the plate, "No matter how you look at it, Genichiro is more like a cute child, who will make embarrassments, get angry and awkward, and Will obediently let adults touch the head."

Yukimura raised his eyebrows, "Oh? He won't let me touch his head at all."

"...don't compete with adults for this kind of place!" Yukimura's mother gave him an annoyed look, "You must have bullied him too much to become such an old man."

"You'll think I'm bullying him. You're the only one at home, mom." Yukimura smiled.Both father and sister thought they were being protected and told him to take the initiative.

Although the truth is, he did follow his father's advice and hold Genichiro firmly in his palm.

In the conversation with his mother, Yukimura's worries were slowly left behind.Mother has always been the most intelligent and sensitive person, and Yukimura has inherited her mother's characteristics in this respect, so it is also mother who communicates most often at home.Rather than talking about mother and son, these two people are more like very similar friends.

He looked at his mother's profile. This woman did have an appearance that many girls envied, but what impressed him the most since he was a child was not the appearance, but the gentle temperament that always lingered around her.It was a kind of character that was not weak, and if she watched her, it was like being seen through her lies and small mistakes.But as long as you admit it frankly, you will get a gentle smile again, dispelling the guilt in your heart.

Maybe the side of my later personality that is good at discovering people's hearts is also thanks to this subtle influence.

He quietly enjoyed the relaxed state that he could only let go of his burden at home, and when he heard the movement at the door, he got up and went to open it.The two people who got out of the car had extremely similar expressions.If Yukimura is similar to his mother, then Yui's character has some similarities with his father.

Seeing her brother whom she hadn't seen for a long time smiling and staring at her behind the door, Yui left her father and rushed over to Yukimura's arms.

"Brother! Brother! I miss you so much!"

The little girl's purple twin ponytails were waving happily behind her ears, and her little head was trying hard to get into Yukimura's arms.On the back of her small schoolbag is the health guard that made a wish to Yukimura from the shrine at the beginning of this year. Even now that he has recovered from his illness, he has not taken it off.

Yukimura couldn't help touching the top of Yui's head, and when he realized that it was still warm outside, he picked her up and walked into the house.

"Cold?"

"cold!"

The man who was forgotten by his slimy siblings pitifully closed the door with his briefcase, and changed into the pair of pink rabbit slippers that were laughed at by the family.

The warm family atmosphere here has not been brought to the Japanese-style mansion on the other side.Sanada's mood was far less relaxed than Yukimura's.Compared with Yui, his nephew is a hundred times more troublesome than Sasuke, and the head of the family is Sanada Noorishi.

"What did you say?"

Sanada who was sitting was really unwilling to look up at the man who was speaking.Thinking back to the conversation with his grandfather just now, it was clear that everything was normal at first, but when Yukimura was mentioned, Sanada became a lot more nervous, which made the old man with sharp eyes see the problem.

"That kid from Jingshi will come to play tomorrow, isn't it normal?" Sanada Fanshi took a sip of tea and put the cup back on the table.The quaint porcelain cup made no sound when touched on the wooden table, but Sanada seemed to be struck by something in the heart.

"The two of you are about to start the world competition, don't relax!" The old man straightened the hem of his kimono, and glanced at the eldest grandson who was winking at him at the door, "What's the matter?"

"The phone number at Seichi's house." Brother Sanada looked at Sanada with a sad face, not knowing whether to say it or not, "Sasuke and Yui seemed to have said a few words, and then Yui started crying."

Sanada was almost frozen to stone.

"Sasuke said..." Sanada-san swallowed, "'I definitely don't agree with Uncle and Seishi-san being together.'"
