Tezuka was alone in the room reading a book.But holding the book, he didn't read a single word.

Tezuka reluctantly put down the book, took off his glasses, and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

Leaning back in the chair, he let go of his thoughts, but Rukawa Sakura kept flashing through his mind.

"Guomitsu, your junior from the tennis club is here!" Tezuka's mother shouted from downstairs.

The person who came was Echizen.

Tezuka went downstairs, stood in the entrance and looked at Echizen.

"What's the matter, Echizen? At a time like this."

Echizen lowered his head and said, "I have a request."

"What is it?" Tezuka asked, but he knew it.

"I... I, I still want to enter the youth selection team." Echizen raised his head and looked at Tezuka.

"The players have all decided." Tezuka said.

"So - what do you want me to do? You don't let me participate in the competition, and you don't let me compete with Kebin. I... what should I do?!" Echizen shouted.

Tezuka looked at Echizen silently.

Rukawa Sakura stood outside Tezuka's room door, looking down at the snacks on the plate.

Said it was made for Tezuka, but it was all her favorite food.Tezuka's mother really felt sorry for her.However, she didn't know if she was worth the pain.

She seemed to be at an impasse.But she herself didn't know how to get in.I don't know how to get out.

She has always been sensitive and wary of all feelings.

But now she doesn't have time to think about unnecessary feelings.

Grandpa's death made her very confused.

This world seems to have no place for her.

She didn't know if she could go to the end with Yukimura.She believes in Yukimura's feelings for her, but she still has no confidence.

Just being together like this, will we go on like this in the future?

She can't imagine.

"Rukawa...Senior?" Echizen opened the door and saw Rukawa Sakura standing outside the door in pajamas, his surprise was beyond words.

"Echizen..." Rukawa Sakura was stunned, and looked up at Tezuka.

Tezuka looked at her too.

"That...Aunt Caicai asked me to bring it here...you..."

Tezuka took the plate in her hand and whispered, "Thank you."

Echizen glanced back and forth between Tezuka and Rukawa Sakura.

Tezuka pushed his glasses, "Echizen." He handed over the plate.

Echizen was stunned, picked up a piece of snack and threw it into his mouth, "Arigado."

Rukawa Sakura looked at Echizen silently.

"Then I'll go first, Minister." Echizen turned his head and glanced at Tezuka, "Goodbye, Rukawa-senpai."

"Ah, goodbye." Rukawa Sakura nodded to Echizen.

The atmosphere returned to silence.

"I'm going to sleep first." Rukawa Sakura said, breaking the dullness.

"Good night." Tezuka stood at the door holding a plate, watching Rukawa Sakura leave.

He lowered his head, picked up a piece of snack, and put it in his mouth.

Sweet taste.But at the same time very bitter.

Tezuka's mother patted her son's shoulder. "Guoguang, you just can't speak too much."

Tezuka held the plate in silence.

"You said that you can win prizes in debate competitions, so if you comfort the girl, will you die? What about your eloquence?" Tezuka's mother complained dissatisfiedly to her son.

"Mother……"

"Ahhh, I don't want to hear it! Anyway, you have to go back with Sakura tomorrow! Never leave! Remember, never leave!" Tezuka's mother inserted her waist.

Tomorrow is the day when the American West Coast youth selection team arrives... Tezuka wanted to say so.However, from the bottom of his heart, he himself does not want to deal with the US team at all.Judging by her mother's posture, she would never allow it.

He wanted to accompany Sakura Rukawa.This is his truest wish.

Only now, he has no idea how to get along with Rukawa Sakura.

"Okay." Tezuka promised his mother.

Early the next morning, Tezuka accompanied Rukawa Sakura back to Kanagawa.

Still dressed in black, Sakura Rukawa stood in the crowd, indifferent and alienated, but she still forced herself to greet everyone.

Tezuka was wearing a black formal suit, standing not far from Rukawa Sakura.Silently, like a knight guarding the princess, always standing behind the princess, no matter whether she looks back or not.

Yukimura stood on the other side, also looking at Rukawa Sakura, that was his girl.

Grandpa Sanada and Grandpa Tezuka stood together, looking at Rukawa Sakura from a distance, looked at each other, and both sighed.

"Why did old man Rukawa leave just like that?" Grandpa Sanada said in a complaining tone.

Grandpa Tezuka glanced at Grandpa Sanada and shook his head. "From now on, it's just us two old guys fighting."

"It's really meaningless without old man Rukawa." Grandpa Sanada rolled his eyes at Grandpa Tezuka, "The devil wants to fight you! Don't think too highly of yourself, someone!"

Grandpa Tezuka directly ignored Grandpa Sanada's unreasonable behavior.

"Sakura...take care." Yagyu said to Rukawa Sakura.

Nioh patted Rukawa Sakura on the shoulder, "It's okay~ Brother Masaharu's arms are always open for you."

"My condolences are changing." Liu said, "But I think Sakura would be more willing to throw herself into Seiichi's arms, Masaharu."

Yukimura didn't want to hide this matter, since Rukawa Sakura agreed, she didn't care whether others would know.Anyway, the people in the tennis department will know sooner or later.

King Ren curled his lips, the minister was really quick!Although he also saw some signs.

Yagyu turned his head to look in Yukimura's direction, and saw Tezuka on the other side.

"Sakura, I'll treat you to a cake later." Bunta expressed his comfort to Rukawa Sakura in this way.

"Well, don't be too sad, Sakura. If there is anything we need to help, we will do our best." Kuwahara promised to ask him for help in the most practical way.

"Senior Sakura..." Xiao Haidai scratched her head, not knowing what to say.

"Pfft~ Chiya, as long as you promise to pass the make-up exam with a high score, your Sakura-senpai will be very pleased." Nioh said.

"Then...then I will definitely pass with full marks! Sakura-senpai!" Little Kelp expressed her determination without thinking.

Liu Sheng shook his head, he didn't believe it.

Rukawa Sakura said: "Thank you everyone. I'm fine, don't worry."

"Sakura." Sanada didn't wear a hat today, and the face hidden under the hat all year round showed a resolute and handsome side. "Brother Rukawa is at the door."

"Yeah." Rukawa Sakura nodded. "I'll leave for a while."

Sanada nodded, "You go."

Rukawa Feng stood at the door, still panting.He didn't change out of his basketball sportswear, and his long black bangs were soaked in sweat.

"Brother." Rukawa Sakura called softly.

Rukawa Feng panted and looked at his sister.The younger sister's calm face lacked a lot of blood.In the black pupils, there was silence like an abyss.

"I'll take you to change clothes." Rukawa Sakura said.

In the dressing room, Rukawa Feng was changing clothes, and Rukawa Sakura was waiting for him outside.

Black matches Rukawa Sakura very well.It set off a kind of silence.Cold and mysterious.

She stood in front of the window, looking into the distance, her eyes were out of focus.

Rukawa Feng walked out of the dressing room and stood behind Rukawa Sakura without saying a word.

Rukawa Sakura turned around and looked at Rukawa Feng.Taking the black arm yarn on the table, Rukawa Sakura tied it to Rukawa Kaede's arm.

Rukawa Feng grabbed her retracted hand.

Rukawa Sakura just looked at him quietly.

"I'm sorry." Rukawa Feng said.

A brewing storm could also be seen on the face that had always been paralyzed.

Let her face all this alone, he is sorry for her.

He has depended on her for too long and has formed a habit.For so long, she has been responsible for it alone.It was because he was too useless to help her.Even this kind of thing, let her face it alone.

Rukawa Feng clenched his fists.

Things like parents... what kind of things do you want to come!

There is only one phone call in a few months, who cares about it!

There is no way to notify the old man when he died, so they should bear the burden!

So what if he came back, such a cold-blooded person!

Up to now, only Rukawa Sakura has been carrying it alone, from the accident to the present.

Rukawa Sakura paused, "Don't say these three words to me."

Never say.If even you want to say this to me, who else can I work hard for?

"You are the only relative I have." Rukawa Sakura looked up at Rukawa Feng.

Rukawa Feng grabbed her hand and exerted force.

Rukawa Sakura leaned into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Rukawa Feng let go of her hand, and also hugged her tightly.

Since then, in this world, there are only two of us, the only relatives.

Rukawa Sakura burst into tears.

Until now, I finally have a hug I can rely on.There are so many people in the world, but only this relative is left.the only existence.

Tezuka stood in the corner, guarding the door of the dressing room.Quiet, no sound.

He knew who Rukawa Sakura needed now.And all he can do is watch and wait.

Years ago, Sakura Rukawa reached out to him.Years later, if given the chance, he would also like to reach out to her once.

However, that door never opened, and he never got a chance.

Yukimura looked at Tezuka and walked over. "Tezuka Kunimitsu."

Tezuka hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Looking forward to playing against you."

Tezuka was silent. "If given the chance."

Yukimura turned to look at the locker room, "Then let's start here."

Yukimura Seiichi, the undefeated "Son of God", without exception.Regardless of whether the opponent is Tezuka Kunimitsu.

Tezuka was silent.Now he has no position to say anything.

He has no chance.

Don't even know if there's a "later".

Perhaps, now is the "later" of the past.

However, he has missed it.

Later I finally learned how to go* It's a pity that you have long since disappeared into the sea of ​​people

Later, I finally understood in tears that some people will not be there once they miss it

Gardenia white petals fall on my blue pleated skirt

*You whispered that I lowered my head and smelled a fragrance

that eternal night 17 years old midsummer the night you kissed me

In the future, whenever I sigh, I always think of the starlight of that day

How could the love at that time be so simple

And why do people have to let deep* people get hurt when they are young

In this similar late night, are you also quietly regretting your sadness?

If we were not so stubborn back then, we would not be so regretful now

How do you remember me smiling or being silent

Is there anyone who can keep you from being lonely all these years

Later I finally learned how to go* It's a pity that you have long since disappeared into the sea of ​​people

Later, I finally understood in tears that some people will not be there once they miss

How do you remember me smiling or being silent

Is there anyone who can keep you from being lonely all these years

Later I finally learned how to go* It's a pity that you have long since disappeared into the sea of ​​people

Later, I finally understood in tears that some people will not be there once they miss

never again

There's a boy *fucking* that girl
