what tennis

◎Don't be afraid, don't look back◎

If it is just a similarity in appearance, it can be prevaricated by coincidence.

But even the surnames are exactly the same, which seems to be beyond the degree of coincidence that can be explained.

Mari Nishijima quickly made a decision: "I will do a post-match interview later, can you wait for me? I will treat you to dinner later - as agreed before."

While eating, you can ask about the first-year member by the way.

Kaitang Kaoru had no doubts, and agreed: "Then I'll wait for you at a nearby restaurant."

Mari Nishijima: "Okay."

Not long after Qingxue came out, the tennis team of Xidao Zhenli School also came out.Different from the cheerful appearance of the Qingxue group, the tennis team of our school seems to be under pressure, and everyone has a stern face and a very depressed look.

You don't need to ask to know that you have lost.After all, the opponent is Seigaku who is famous for his tennis club, so it would be really strange if he won.

Although it was very empathetic, Mari Nishijima was indeed relieved.

Because of the loss in the game, Narita Jianzhen also looked listless during the interview, and he didn't have any extra energy to entangle Nishijima truth.

After the interview, Mari Nishijima asked the manager of the tennis department for a photo of the court, and then declined the tennis coach's offer of a ride, and first went to Haitangxun for dinner.

restaurant.

"One serving of Osaka Monjayaki, one serving of Seaweed Cold Noodles... the drink is Coke and—what do you want to drink?"

Nishijima Mari looked at Kaitang Kaoru, and Kaitang Kaoru replied, "Juice drinks are fine."

Mari Nishijima ordered another fruit drink for him and returned the menu to the boss.

While waiting for the meal, Kaitang Kaoru rarely took the initiative to speak: "Have you been stalked by some strange person recently?"

Mari Nishijima was stunned: "Huh?"

After a brief moment of surprise, she felt guilty and immediately thought of Echizen Long Ya—is Long Ya a strange person?Should... forget it?

Kaitang Kaoru: "Little ghost—that guy from Echizen said that he saw someone pestering you in the corridor."

Mari Nishijima suddenly realized: "Oh, he refers to the Narita sword formation, right? Narita is a new member of the school tennis team and also my junior."

"He was indeed chasing me before, but recently I heard that he has changed his target. Narita's personality is not as good as his brain, but he is not a bad person."

Kaitang Kaoru was angry: "You see, no one looks like a bad person."

Nishijima Mari: "...Don't say that I seem to have no brains. Anyway, I am three years older than you. Is this the tone you speak to your seniors?"

Kaitang Kaoru didn't speak, but his expression clearly said: I don't respect seniors like you.

Mari Nishijima felt very angry.

Maybe she has such a disagreement with playing tennis, which further strengthens Nishijima Mari's determination not to fall in love with tennis players.

When the food they ordered came, Mari Nishijima ironed the chopsticks and bowl with a straight face, and also heated Kaoru Kaido's portion by the way.

Hai Tangxun took the bowl and chopsticks from You Dai Yu Wen, hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and rubbed the back of his head: "I don't mean to disrespect seniors—I just think you can easily trust others, so I am even more worried about you. "

"Nishijima-senpai is a very reliable senior in my mind."

The latter sentence was already a bit forced for Kaitang Kaoru.

But in order not to make Nishijima Mari feel sad, the poisonous snake forced himself to say this sentence in a gentle tone with a ferocious expression.

As soon as he finished saying this, there was a burst of laughter from the seat behind.

Kaitang Kaoru's forehead twitched, and he turned his head and punched an acquaintance on the head: "Monkey! I've endured you for a long time—and you! What are you doing sneaking here?!"

Eiji Kikumaru clasped his hands and rushed at him to wink, begging for mercy: "Satisfy your curiosity! I thought you were dating that older sister, doesn't it look like it?"

Kaoru Kaitang was speechless: "...What are you thinking about? Nishijima-senpai is the granddaughter of coach Ryuzaki. We know each other because we live near each other."

Except for the captain of the tennis team, the members of the Qingxue tennis team are basically all present.Mari Nishijima looked at several tall and burly teenagers with tennis rackets in front of him, and suddenly became dizzy, and couldn't even eat dinner.

Help!Lots of tennis rackets - lots of tennis picks!

Is this hell?

The only thing that can make Mari Nishijima feel more at ease is the first-year member who looks exactly like Ryuya Echizen; because the other party is not tall, even shorter than Mari Nishijima.

When the other members were making noise, he sat on the side in an extremely cold manner, opened a bottle of Fanta soda with one hand, and wrote on his face: I don't play with immature ghosts.

In the end, the meal turned into a staff dinner.

Since all the members of the tennis club were there, Mari Nishijima was too embarrassed to ask about the first-year members alone, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Makoto Nishidao ate a meal that was delicious, took a few quick mouthfuls, and then made an excuse to leave; the feeling of being surrounded by a group of tennis teenagers is really terrible, especially this group of people is full of people who want to be stabbed at any time. The flag of the tennis match, staying with them, always feels that no more than three seconds will be followed by tennis-related troubles.

Kaoru Kaido pushed away Takeshi Momoshiro who was trying to sneak attack, and looked at Mari Nishijima: "Are you leaving? I'll see you..."

"Haitang, are you not going to participate in the special training today?"

When reminded by other members, Kaidou Kaoru frowned and became tangled.

Mari Nishijima picked up her bag and waved to Kaoru Kaidou: "It's okay, you can go to the training, I have no problem going back by myself."

Kai Tangxun: "...the street lights on the section of Panhai Highway are broken, you go back alone and pay attention to safety."

Mari Nishijima nodded.

Kaitang Kaoru was still worried, and told him again: "If——"

Mari Nishijima smiled and patted his turban: "Don't worry, your reliable Nishijima-senpai wants to complete this small task of going home alone, there is absolutely no problem."

Takeshi Momoshiro stroked his chin and fell silent for a while.Kaitang Kaoru was not used to his sudden silence, and frowned: "What kind of demon are you going to do?"

Takeshi Momoshiro: "Do you have Miss Nishijima's contact information?"

Kaitang Kaoru: "...what are you going to do?"

Taocheng Wu excitedly asked: "Don't you think Miss Xidao is cute? She looks cute and has a cute personality. She must also be very interested in tennis, otherwise she wouldn't come to the tennis match—"

Kaitang Kaoru ruthlessly shattered his fantasies: "Don't think about it, Nishijima is only here as a school club task requirement, she has a tennis phobia, and she won't associate with tennis players."

Takeshi Momoshiro was shocked: "Is it a lie? Is there such a disease in the world?"

The competition site was a little far away from where Mari Nishijima lived, and when the tram she took arrived at the station, it was already completely dark.

Walking home from the tram station, you need to walk through the Panhai Highway where the street lights are broken.Both Nozaki Umetaro and Kaidou Kaoru reminded her of the broken street lamp, so Mari Nishijima, who was already mentally prepared, was not very scared.

What's more, there are police patrolling this section of the road on time, even in the middle of the night, there are often taxis passing by, and there are several neighborhoods nearby.

She turned on the flashlight function of her mobile phone to illuminate, and she was free to check the tennis news while walking—in normal times, Mari Nishijima would never watch tennis news.Even the magazines that often report tennis news are within the shielding range of Nishijima Truth.

Evasion is shameful, but useful.

But the situation is different now. She is really curious about the relationship between Echizen Ryuya and the first-year member of the Seigaku Tennis Club—they look so similar, and they still have the same surname, so they can't be brothers, right?

Qinggaku is a school famous for its tennis club, as long as you enter the school name, a lot of tennis club-related reports will automatically pop up; almost all the active players in the tennis club have their own pages, and Echizen Ryoma, as the youngest official first-year member, It has also attracted widespread attention.

Of course, there is also a part of the bonus of appearance.

After all, who doesn't like a cool and handsome young lady?

The Internet by the sea was a bit delayed, and the magazine webpage couldn't be loaded for a long time; Mari Nishijima looked away and rubbed his sore neck, and glanced at the cement floor from the corner of his eyes.

It was just an accidental glance, but she found two shadows overlapping and dragging on the ground.One of the shadows is Nishijima Mari himself, and the other shadow is from the person behind Nishijima Mari.

The distance between the two is about five meters. Judging from the shape of the shadow cast, it is a tall and tall man of the opposite sex.

Mari Nishijima frowned and quickened his pace.As soon as she quickened her pace, the opposite sex behind her also quickened her pace; the frequency of the two footsteps, one light and one heavy, overlapped at a similar frequency, Nishidao Zhen swallowed nervously, and quietly quickened her pace again.

She is not a person who is good at sports, and she is a little short of breath after walking at such a speed.But the people behind were still able to do their job with ease, keeping a distance of five or six meters from Mari Nishijima in an unhurried manner.

As she walked more and more nervous, Mari Nishijima estimated the distance of the remaining distance, gritted her teeth and ran straight away!

Running—like some kind of signal—the sound of footsteps following behind him in a hurry also started to run.

Mari Nishijima could only hear the beating of his own heart, as if he stepped directly on the eardrum.The sea breeze was blowing, and cold sweat rolled from her forehead to her chin; in a trance, she actually felt that the scene in front of her was like a movie she was watching from the perspective of God.

Time and space were confused, memories overlapped, and blurred memory fragments passed through her mind.

It wasn't until she bumped into someone suddenly that she came back to her senses and raised her head in a panic.

Mari Nishijima hadn't seen clearly who the person bumped into was, but only saw the black shirt the other person was wearing.A baseball cap was put on top of her head, and the young man pressed the back of Nishijima Mari's head with one hand, and pushed her back into his arms again.

His clothes smelled of fabric softener, the tulip scent that Mari Nishijima liked and was familiar with.

"Don't be afraid, don't look back." Echizen Longya rubbed her head through the baseball cap, her voice was still relaxed and lazy: "Go 50 meters ahead, there is a convenience store at the entrance of the community, go buy some food, and eat Wait for me."

"Shouldn't your legs be so weak that you can't walk by yourself?"

His voice was low and hoarse, with a gentle smile, and his arms were warm.

Mari Nishijima wiped the cold sweat and tears off his face with the back of his hand, and his heart suddenly calmed down.
