what tennis

◎Is it the drawbridge effect? ◎

The original panic, bewilderment and fear have been appeased at this moment.

Mari Nishijima grabbed the corner of Echizen Ryuya's clothes and whispered, "Should I call the police first? It's too dangerous, don't..."

"That, Nishijima-senpai—" The opposite sex who had been chasing Nishijima Mari before said awkwardly, "It's me, Narita Sword Array."

Mari Nishijima: "... Huh?"

She turned her head, and Echizen Longya thoughtfully took a photo of the man with the flashlight of her mobile phone, and it turned out to be the Narita Sword Formation.

He was still wearing a tracksuit with the school's name on it, and his face was flushed.

Seeing Nishijima Mari and Echizen Ryuya looking over at the same time, Echizen Ryuya's eyes were even more frightening, making Narita Jianzhen feel that he would be poured with cement and drowned in Tokyo Bay in the next second.

The unprovoked and terrifying association made Narita Jianzhen shudder, and quickly explained: "Ping Chuan said that there are two more photos that I missed, so I sent them to you... I see that the street lights here are broken, I'm afraid senior sister You met bad people on the road, so I wanted to follow you and take you to the gate of the community..."

"Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you! I'm definitely not a stalker! Please trust me!"

He apologized, bowed at ninety degrees, and handed over the photo in a ziploc bag with both hands.

Echizen Longya took the sealed plastic bag from him, opened it and took a look: inside were indeed photos of the regional competition.

He looked at Mari Nishijima. At this time, Mari Nishijima had sent a message to tennis manager Maki Hirakawa to confirm.She raised her head, her expression changed from being shocked at the beginning to being speechless: "...it was indeed Classmate Pingchuan who asked him to help deliver the things."

If it were another boy who said he was not a stalker, Mari Nishijima might have doubts.But the Narita Sword Formation...

Just as Nishijima Shinji explained to Haitangxun: Narita Sword Array has a personality that will act impulsively when the brain is hot, and always does things outrageously without thinking. .

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was really innocent, Mari Nishijima would have reported him back in school.

Having received the 'testimonies' of Nishijima Shinji, Narita Kenjin heaved a sigh of relief, and quietly glanced at the face of his senior's boyfriend; he thought he would see a more friendly Echizen Ryuya, but unexpectedly, Echizen Ryuya still had a face of "I'll take you right away." The gruesome look of a cemented corpse in Tokyo Bay'.

Throwing away the sealed plastic bag in his hand, Echizen Longya mercilessly said, "The photos have been delivered, and you can leave."

"In the future, you don't need to hide in the dark to scare people when you send Zhenjiang home. My real boyfriend will walk beside Zhenjiang and escort her."

Echizen Ryuya was obviously smiling when he said the last sentence, but Narita Sword Array, who was watched by Echizen Ryuya, felt that he was being cut into pieces by the other party's eyes.

He forced a dry smile, repeated his apology several times, and quickly fled.

A gust of sea breeze blew past, and the sealed plastic bag in Echizen Ryuya's hand was shaken a few times.

Mari Nishijima took the plastic bag from him and stuffed it into his schoolbag.She was still wearing the white baseball cap that Echizen Ryuya had buttoned up on her head, and her bangs were curled up by the brim of the hat, and the old pale pink scar on Mari Nishijima's brow could be vaguely seen.

Mari Nishijima was really scared just now.Even if the misunderstanding was solved later, she still felt a little stiff from being frightened all over her body.

The mobile phone accidentally pressed the home screen button when she was running, and it automatically exited the magazine's reading interface.But now Mari Nishijima is not in the mood to read tennis magazines.

"...Did Long Ya go out to play just now?"

"pick you up."

"Ugh?"

Mari Nishijima was a little surprised, stopped and looked up at Echizen Ryuya.It happened that Echizen Longya also looked down at her, she couldn't help blinking, and put her hands behind her back.

There are still tears on her face that haven't been wiped off, her eyelashes are wet and sticky, and her eye sockets and nose are red from crying.

She didn't seem to know how obvious the traces of crying were on her face, and she still looked at Echizen Ryuya in a daze - Echizen Ryuya raised her hand to support the hat on her head, combed her raised bangs with her fingers, and was gentle. And patiently smoothed them, and covered the scars on Nishijima's brows again.

"When we came back from the amusement park last time, didn't the streetlights on this section of the road go out?" He lowered his eyes, his movements were as gentle as his voice, "I think you might be scared, so I came to pick you up gone."

Nishijima Mari: "The last time you took the water slide, you seemed to ask me if I was afraid?"

Echizen Ryuya: "Yes, I asked."

Mari Nishijima: "I also asked in the mirror maze."

Echizen Ryuya: "Yes, I also asked."

Nishijima was puzzled: "In Longya's impression, am I a timid person?"

Although she was very happy that Echizen Ryuya came to pick her up, there was nothing wrong with her.But in the same way, it didn't prevent Mari Nishijima from being curious about Echizen Ryuya's thoughts—how could Echizen Ryuya feel scared?Or do you think you are the kind of timid girl?

Echizen Ryuya had already fixed her raised bangs.But his hand was still on Nishijima Mari's cheek.

The young wheat-colored fingers gently pressed her fair and flushed cheeks, and the fingertips gently brushed her wet bangs, as lightly as touching a dandelion.

"Who knows? Maybe it's because I like truth sauce—so even if it's a small fear, I worry about whether you will be afraid."

His palm was very hot, and the part where Nishidao Mari's cheek touched his palm also gradually began to heat up.

Temperature is transmitted like a contagion.

from one person to another.

The sea breeze made their clothes rustle, and Echizen Ryuya's hair was also disheveled, but those cat-like dark brown eyes were bright.

The sound of the waves is far and near, everything is hidden under the long skirt of the night.

The heartbeat from running just now has not completely calmed down.

Mari Nishijima suspects that this is the drawbridge effect-she is still immersed in the fear of being followed, and the intense emotions make her more easily moved than usual.

pat- pat-

The street lamps that were originally broken suddenly turned on one after another from the beginning to the end.Warm lights illuminate the sea as well.

Under the backlight, even though Mari Nishijima raised his head, he felt that Echizen Ryuya's face was blurred.She realized that Echizen Ryuya was a little too handsome at the moment, and her heartbeat was speeding up for another kind of excited emotion.

"Who is it?"

Not far away came the loud questioning of the patrolman—the patrolman was followed by a team of maintenance personnel.

Mari Nishijima immediately lowered his head, pressing down the baseball cap on his head with his palms, and his ears that were not covered by the cap were red.

Echizen Longya also looked away in a panic, and put his hands into the pockets of his hoodie: "...We are residents of a nearby community."

The patrolman approached and glanced at Echizen Ryuya's face.Because Nishijima Mari lowered her head and was wearing a baseball cap, the policeman did not see her appearance clearly.

But the patrolman remembered Echizen Ryuya's face.

He relaxed, turned back to the maintenance worker and said, "It's a nearby resident, I know this young man—"

"You young people don't date so late when you are in love. It's late at night, and the streetlights on this road haven't been fully repaired yet. What's there to talk about in the dark?"

Facing the scolding from the policeman who came here, Echizen Longya had no choice but to touch the tip of his nose and give up explaining: "I see, we'll go back now."
