[True luck] My young taming is too lax!

The calendar ushered in the May of the new school year, and the freshmen in Lihai began to get used to the very presence of calligraphy on the bulletin board at the main entrance, and after the newcomers in the tennis club knew the status of the absent minister, the middle school Tennis season has officially begun.It is no longer the handsome boy from last year who led this year's quasi-finalists to participate in the regional qualifiers, but the serious "emperor" Genichiro Sanada, which made those schools who met their old opponents lament that they couldn't afford it.

At first, I thought it seemed that Yukimura's absence would affect Li Hai's aura, but despite the absence of that eye-catching figure, this year's Li Hai looked more terrifying than before.

Just standing in front of the team and exuding fighting spirit all over the body can make the opponent fearful.

The more calm Lihai Tennis Club may no longer be able to forgive any enemies that stop them from advancing.

If this change brought Sanada any new troubles, it would be about being elected as the chairman of the discipline committee in the general election of the student council at the beginning of the month.Originally, Sanada, who had to visit patients because of the increased work in the tennis club, did not want to accept this position, but before he could refute, he frightened his classmates with a dark face.

"Sure enough, Genichiro is more suitable for this position." Yukimura also chuckled when he learned about this later. His recent condition is much better than before, and he no longer willfully increases the intensity of his rehabilitation, but is very well-behaved. Follow the advice of your doctor and trainer carefully.Although Sanada was relieved a little, Yukimura still only talked about the tennis club and refused to mention his own situation.

Sanada can often learn about his recent situation from doctors and nurses. According to the doctor's observation, his condition has basically stabilized, and his body is recovering and adapting well. Although the time for the second operation has not yet been determined, the chief surgeon chose For an authoritative figure in the field, the success rate only needs to be increased by looking at Yukimura's state.

Despite believing in these data, Sanada still doesn't know how to solve Yukimura's escape.The two of them haven't had a candid conversation for a long time, and the extremely close distance when they were first admitted to the hospital was like a dream, and he kept recalling it in the past few months.

The person in front of him seemed to have gained some flesh, which was much more pleasing to the eye than the haggard one, but his heart was still tightly closed.Members of the tennis club can get messages from Yukimura from the contact book. Although some of them are not in his own handwriting, the ever-changing tone of sternness and gentleness is always as if the minister is here in person, which boosts morale .

Only Sanada, once so close to Yukimura, was suddenly pushed away.

No, their relationship is still as close as ever, but Sanada hasn't touched this person's sincerity for a long time.

He poured a cup of tea for Yukimura and pushed it in front of him.The hand placed on the small table by the bed became thin and pale. The person whose skin color was much different from Sanada's was like a wilted flower because he was not bathed in the sun.

"The Beautification Committee wanted to join La Chi this year, but that guy said he would reserve a seat for you and refused to agree." Sanada pinched his arm to relax his muscles, while talking about those daily chores.

"That kid probably wants to be lazy. Although he entrusted the school flowers to the students in the gardening department, Nioh and Chi also helped. No matter how many things there are, those two people will never take care of them." Yukimura smiled. Letting go of Sanada's movements, "How about the flowers that Chiya gave me earlier?"

"Humph, it's nice and neat, growing on the window sill of the department room." Sanada sighed, remembering the young man who had to be reminded every day to concentrate on growing flowers, "Others have taken on the heavy responsibility so early like him, how can this be?" Give him the tennis club?"

"Chi is also very potential. Now that I have seniors by my side, I don't realize the problem. When I have to face it alone, I believe he has the ability to do it." Yukimura touched the small blanket covering his body. It was a small gift that Kirihara made up for him later, the sky blue thin blanket with flowers tattooed on the side, although it was a bit too cute, Yukimura still couldn't resist taking it out and using it.

"Also, Nioh asked me to tell you that Xiaoxue has gained a lot of weight recently, so she must be pregnant." Sanada frowned in wonder, he had no idea what the two people were talking about, and that guy Nioh didn't even tell To himself, he looked at Yukimura's expression, as if he didn't intend to answer his question at all.

"That kid has grown up too. It was so small before, and he wouldn't listen to me if I asked Nioh to take a picture. I haven't seen it for a long time..." Thinking of that petite black cat, Yukimura also understood why Nioh didn't let him The reason for seeing it was just a little bit of possible superstition, and his teammates were not allowed to add misfortune to himself. This kind of mood made him feel both funny and heart-warming.

Is it time to be a mom already, the kid is growing up and I'm still stuck here.

Even the weak and feeble kitten can take on another life, run in the sunshine, breathe the fresh air, and see the flowers blooming every day.

I really want to get out, from this cage.

Just like Yukimura rejected his birthday celebration from the tennis club, Sanada also rejected Yukimura's suggestion to prepare a birthday present for himself.They faced each other in sync. While Yukimura was preparing for the next operation alone, Sanada also led the Tachikai Tennis Club to start the Kanagawa tournament in June.

Perhaps stimulated by the absence of the minister, no one complained about the daily training of this year's main election.In the third year of junior high school after the senior Maori graduated, even Nioh, who was lazy in the past, no longer slack.After seeing the training routine of Zhengxuan, more than half of the new members joined the club. Some of them liked the reputation of the tennis club. Once they found that it was not as easy as they thought, they naturally quit the club.There are also some people who like tennis, but they can't stand this strict training mode, so they leave the training of the tennis department, but they will still appear outside the game to watch.

They themselves don't have that kind of strong will, but they have always admired the candidates.In the absence of one of the Big Three, many people are staring closely at the two deputy ministers and staff officers who shoulder important responsibilities. If there is anyone who can let the Son of God entrust the Three-in-One Hegemon with peace of mind, they are the only ones.

Under everyone's attention, Li Hai won a big victory in the Kanagawa County Tournament and broke the record for the shortest time in the game.They are making progress every year, but the people who look up to them can only sigh at the farther and farther away.

In the blink of an eye, June came, and this day was the lottery ceremony of the Kanto Conference. This year, the lottery conference hosted by Lihai University was held in the Lihai Hall near the east gate.As the No. 6 seed team, Li Hai didn't plan to attend the meeting. The tennis club was conducting joint practice with the high school club, and Sanada's opponent was Zeng Guoyi, a sophomore who won the Kanto Championship together.

As always, there are no dead ends, this junior is still someone he can't win even now.Jin wiped his sweat, smiled and said to the boy in the hat, "It wasn't so easy for me to get points from you last time, why, did you relax a lot when Xiao Xingcun was away?"

"Hmph, Senior Jin is the one who has lost a lot of his skills recently."

The reporter who came to Lihai ahead of time to collect materials sighed Lihai's progress on the sidelines. Sanada glanced at the two people, said hello, and turned to look at Liu on the other side of the court. Seeing the strength of this team, "Our king, Lihai, has three consecutive victories in the whole country, and there is no dead end!"

"But this year's dark horse..." The female reporter who was about to refute Sanada was stunned when she received his gaze.

"No matter how strong and determined the opponent is, it is impossible to defeat our Lihai." The things they carry are not comparable to those who simply rush into the country.

"Miss Zhi wants to talk about the champion of this year's metropolitan tournament, Seigaku." Liu and Sanada, who returned to the sidelines after the game, nodded, watching Sanada leave to supervise Kirihara's competition at another venue, and responded to the questions of the two reporters. "To be able to win can only show that they are lucky. Ice Emperor, who has met Lihai in the Kanto finals for the past two years, is their biggest enemy. Denied."

He looked at the junior who was dripping with sweat on the other side, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"That's Akaya Kirihara, a junior high school player who can use small steps like Ryoma, Lihai's sophomore ace." Inoue whispered to remind the junior to give her the information of the popular science player, "He can also play well with the senior Compared with each other, it is really not to be underestimated, but after all, it still looks a little tired..."

Liu moved his ears, and glanced at the two people, "After all, he is the eighth."

"what?"

Inoue noticed those seniors sitting on the ground beside the court, "It's actually a wheel battle!" What a powerful endurance and concentration...

And they are all left-handed, Liu added silently in his heart.Since he was defeated by Tezuka last year, the kid seemed unable to allow anyone other than the three monsters to surpass him, so he specially practiced fighting against left-handed players.He and Sanada looked at each other, not intending to explain their doubts. This year's Tokyo upset has attracted the attention of all parties to the new dark horse Qingxue, and the team that Li Hai has gradually seen in their eyes seems to be preparing to show up. National shock.

The contestant dubbed "Dragon Horse" by these two reporters seems to be going to check for more information.Liu thought of his old friends in Qingxue. If his premonition is correct, there will be a very interesting competition in the next Kanto competition.

"...That's probably the case. Although Ice Emperor lost to Fudo Peak due to carelessness, this year's grouping is still those old faces." When Sanada visited Yukimura later, he told him about the situation of this year's Kanto grouping.Yukimura thought about the two reporters with vague attitudes in his mouth, and a faint anger rose in his heart.

"Probably because I'm not here this year, it makes them feel that other schools have a chance." He smiled, and a storm gathered in his eyes, "I used to seem to disagree with Lihai's style of play, but I didn't expect not only me, but even You have all been underestimated!"

"Lian'er has a plan, and I don't want to talk too much. We will see who is stronger and who is weaker in the arena." Sanada snorted coldly, "Besides, it is said that Lian'er's old friend in Qingxue seems to be very confident, which must have stimulated him Bar."

Yukimura lowered his head and thought about the dark horse who unexpectedly won the Metropolitan Championship this year.Last year's competition is still vivid in my memory, and in just one year, I have the strength to hit the No. [-] in Tokyo. When I saw Tezuka last time, I was obviously injured. Could it be because I have the strongest rookie ace...?

"Come here next time and bring me the video of the match between Seigaku and Ice Emperor." Yukimura said with a sullen face, "No matter how evolved, human potential is limited, unless the so-called trump card itself has considerable strength, otherwise we must defeat Bingdi, Qingxue is still a little tender."

Sanada frowned, "You don't need to worry about this now, with Lianji and I here..."

"This is what I want to do, even you want to stop me?"

Sanada froze, looking at Yukimura who looked dissatisfied.

"As a minister, why do I always insist on writing the contact list of the members and analyzing the games for them? Don't you understand until now, Sanada? Don't think I don't know. Some people made sarcastic remarks at the Kanagawa Conference. You at the Kanto Lottery Conference Does He Lian Er not appearing, does it make people think that Li Hai has no confidence? I am just sick, not blind or deaf, how can I not know what is going on in the outside world?"

Yukimura's eyes were full of cold sarcasm, which made his heart throb with pain, his sharp sword-like eyes stabbed at him, Sanada pursed his lips and was speechless.

"However, two little reporters can also be biased. Look at the reports, the absence of the Son of God, Li Hai's plight, the broken ice emperor, the new dark horse Fudo Peak and Aigaku..." Yukimura read every word Looking at those familiar titles, Sanada had seen those magazines that the staff angrily threw aside while they were flipping through in the department room.This person seems to be far away from right and wrong if he is not in the tennis world, but in fact, he has always been at the center of right and wrong.

"Speaking of which, I am very interested in a recent article. Do you know why I am called the 'Son of God'?"

"Didn't there be a saying in the beginning that 'the power to destroy the five senses is like the coercion of a god'?" Sanada answered him.

"Probably just one of them. It was told to me by the seniors of the former art department. There was a famous swordsman in history, Okita Souji," Yukimura raised his lips coldly, "It is said that it was because it was too scary. Known as the 'son of ghosts'. He is usually gentle, but once he holds a weapon in his hand, he will become a Shura."

"It's very similar, even I was curious when I heard about this person at that time." He turned his head, his eyes were dark and he couldn't see the light, "I didn't know until I saw a magazine that day, that person is obviously the strongest. I was a swordsman, but he got tuberculosis and died early when he was young. He was exactly like me. It seems like such a small disease now, but it can defeat such a person. So I have been thinking, why is it him... ..."

Sanada clenched his hands into fists, and the atmosphere where he came to Yukimura to report the success of the race became condensed.He looked at the man with heavy eyes, the hair on his cheeks gradually grew longer, and the side of his face highlighted his thinness, the smile he had been trying to maintain all along disappeared, it seemed that the new season of the tennis club was pressing down on him like a mountain. On his shoulders, it was as if all the anxiety burst out in a hurry.

"I'll read to you how they wrote, 'The person who was once called the Son of God has always been the chosen person of the gods and has a terrifying power. However, when the season restarts, we can no longer see it. That person's shadow, perhaps being chosen by the gods is also a kind of misfortune, not only to receive the supreme strength, but also to pay the price.'”

"...That's just nonsense, you don't have to pay attention to it, not to mention that there are many players who are injured in sports, don't you know that Tezuka can't play? I don't even expect to be able to compete with him this year, and you... "

"You are very disappointed!" Yukimura interrupted him fiercely, "After waiting for three years, this is the result. Do you think that after defeating Tezuka, you can surpass me next?"

Sanada opened her eyes wide.

"It's so pitiful. It seems that you have to wait until all your opponents are fully recovered, and I don't know when I will be fully recovered."

"Yukimura! Don't talk nonsense! We all know that you will be fine, and you will be able to hold your racket again soon, and continue playing tennis..."

"Don't talk about tennis with me anymore!" The boy couldn't listen any longer, and slammed his hands on the bed heavily, those two words lingered in his mind every day like a curse.What is different from me are teammates who are sweating on the court, opponents who are improving every day, new strong players appear, and old kings are in crisis.Back in time two years ago, Li Hai, who just won the world, also ruthlessly ruined Mu Zhiteng's two consecutive championships, and no matter how unwilling he was, he could not categorically guarantee that he would return to the arena.

What did the nurse say?Some of these patients are more serious than themselves, and many people can't even go back to the past throughout their lives.He can no longer lie to himself, now even the racket is locked in the cabinet in the room and he dare not open it, even he dare not take the prop tennis ball that King Nio conjures for him.

"I can't hold a paintbrush anymore, let alone a racket." Just like what he guessed when he was afraid of being admitted to the hospital, all his favorite things, such as tennis and colorful art, have been taken away by this illness.

"Don't mention tennis anymore, I can't play tennis anymore..."

"Snapped!"

There was a sudden shake in front of his eyes, and the burning pain on his cheek made Yukimura stop abruptly.

In the silence, his consciousness was suddenly pulled back to reality.The evening sun shines through the windows, turning the blanket at your feet golden.Beside his bed, the chair was overturned by the sudden movement of standing up. The panting man looked like an erupting active volcano. His fiery eyes stared directly at him, which made him angry, but at the same time he couldn't help but be moved. Sober up like a cold water topping.

He was punched by Sanada.

For a moment, he didn't have time to react, he tilted his head in a daze, his eyes fixed on the foot of the cabinet beside the bed.

"Calm down, listen to me." Sanada took a deep breath, calmed down his anger, and finally knew what was the problem that had been bothering this person since the surgery.

He suffers from yips.

Afraid of undergoing surgery again, afraid of not being able to recover again.While worrying about his teammates, he felt powerless at the same time.

Even if I hold a racket, it will fall off, and even if I hold a tennis ball, I can't play it. Although ten years have passed, I am weaker than when I was four years old.Even with other people's guarantees, I can't believe it. The strong self in the past keeps appearing in the memory, and the self that keeps falling down in reality.

That was really the greatest despair that a serious illness could bring to Yukimura.

Sanada withdrew his hand, staring at Yukimura's gradually flushed side face without blinking, feeling full of self-blame.

"You have always stood in front of me, leading everyone to never stop. Now it is just for you to take a break, you don't have to resist so much."

Sanada reached out to Yukimura's face with one hand, supported his chin and straightened the boy's head.He got so close that both of them could clearly see the reflection in each other's eyes, leaving Yukimura with nowhere to escape.

"It doesn't matter if you can't hold the racket now, I will hold your racket."

"It doesn't matter if you can't play now, I will continue to play for you until the day you come back to me."

"Before then, you just need to keep your eyes open and look at me, just like you used to protect me when I was unable to fight against Tezuka when I was a child. Now, I can finally protect you. At least this opportunity, you have to Give it to me. As for the rest, the willpower will rust if you keep thinking about nonsense."

Yukimura felt himself being embraced by a broad arm, this friend who should have been very familiar, but exuded a light that he had never noticed before, so gentle, but firm enough to make himself ashamed.

"You can get angry if you want, or cry if you want to, just tell me everything. Jingshi, I said that we wanted to be together. It's my fault that I didn't notice your mood."

His chin rested on his broad shoulders, and his cold body was embraced in a warm embrace.The self who always leads the members, the self who pays attention to others, and the self who dare not stop for a moment, will be protected one day.Even though he always talks about victory, now he falls and stands up repeatedly every day.In my memory, since the operation, how long has it been since I have been so close to others?It turns out to be such a blessing to be able to rely on someone...

"You said that I was a crybaby since I was a child, and I have been until now. If it wasn't for the fear that you would catch my braids, why would I endure it?" The voice from my ear moved in front of me.Yukimura looked into those dark eyes filled with mist.

"Don't say anything about not playing tennis." Sanada's deep voice was filled with grievance and fear, "Who do you think I am getting stronger for?"

Yukimura couldn't say a word for a while, but just clenched the opponent's sportswear jacket tightly in a daze.He saw the corner of Sanada's mouth raised an arc, slowly approaching him.

On his forehead, a soft lip soothed his heart.It was a cloud, a ball of cotton, a cherry blossom that bloomed in early spring, and a sweet and greasy candy.

He couldn't bear it anymore and closed his eyes to stop the two raindrops falling from the corners of his eyes.

"Senichiro."

"Ok?"

"Kuniichi Kaibara Festival's fierce lottery...do you still remember?" Yukimura suddenly smiled, "Sure enough, I still need you to help me sweep away my bad luck."

Sanada was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face finally relaxed. It was only then that he completely let go of Yukimura. The worry that lasted half a year, the nightmare that he had been with since Yukimura was admitted to the hospital last winter, at this moment, finally It started to dissipate.

The person in front of him has become too thin and thin, and the height difference was not too big in the past, but now there is a clear difference with his growth, and he is easily locked in his arms.The once thin body has also become extremely thin, and even the increasingly pale complexion, as if a gust of wind could blow away, made Sanada very worried every time he came to visit.

Finally, I saw my favorite smile on this person's face, with a light smile that made fun of me.

"As long as you are happy, no matter how many times, I will sweep away the bad luck for you."

So, Jingshi, from now on, never leave my side again.
