what tennis

◎Almost lost Mayor◎

Echizen Nanjiro looked left and right, and even took out a handkerchief to wipe his forehead with guilt, but he just didn't dare to look into Nishijima Mari's eyes.

He tried to change the subject: "Uh, actually, I don't know very well... just—oh, I remembered, I have to watch Karubin get an injection!"

He slapped himself on the head, jumped up hastily from his seat, and ran to the injection room quickly, without giving Nishidao any chance to ask questions.

Mari Nishijima, who was thrown on the spot, froze for a moment, feeling a little confused.She thought about it, and went to the mirror in the hospital corridor to take a look at herself——she said to herself: "Do I look terrible? Is it the kind of guy who will be so jealous that he will be sent to heaven after knowing that his boyfriend has an ex?" Does it look like it?"

The girl in the white shirt and dark blue trousers in the mirror also tilted her head to look back at Mari Nishijima, her overly cute face looked like a good boy no matter how she looked at it.

Mari Nishijima couldn't understand the same evasive attitude of Echizen Ryuya and Echizen Nanjiro.

She sat in the rest area and waited for a while, and Echizen Longya came out with a bag of cat supplies in her hand.

Mari Nishijima leaned over to open the bag and took a look: half a bag of cat food, a small bag of cat litter, insect repellent and other miscellaneous things.

Echizen Ryuya explained: "The doctor gave us some of the cat food that the kitten is eating now. After taking the cat back, we need to mix the old and new cat food. Let it get used to it first."

Mari Nishijima: "Where is Mr. Nanjiro?"

Echizen Ryuya: "I'm with Karubin."

Mari Nishijima thought that they and Echizen Nanjiro would meet again, but seeing what Echizen Ryuya meant, they seemed to be able to leave.

Until walking out of the gate of the pet hospital, Mari Nishijima still felt weird.She looked back at the pet hospital behind her, and couldn't help but ask Echizen Ryuya: "Shouldn't we wait for Mr. Nanjiro?"

Echizen Ryuya asked strangely: "Why are we waiting for him? It's not on the way."

Mari Nishijima: "...Okay, it seems to be like this."

The two walked along the main road for a while, Nishidao Zhenli suddenly realized.She grabbed Echizen Ryuya's wrist seriously and refused to leave - Echizen Ryuya felt bewildered and looked back at her.

Mari Nishijima: "The pet hospital is not too far from my home."

Echizen Ryuya: "Hmm..."

Mari Nishijima continued to stare at him——Echizen Ryuya suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.His forehead was sweating a little, and then he thought of his guardian who was completely unreliable with his words.

Nanjiro wouldn't have said anything to Truth-chan, would he?

Mari Nishijima stared at his handsome face, and concluded, "Mr. Nanjiro, who brings cats to this pet hospital for injections, must also live nearby."

"At that time, you could have gone to Mr. Nanjiro, it wasn't a state of homelessness at all!"

She came to such a conclusion and nodded in self-affirmation.

Echizen Ryuya: "..."

Failed.

Totally forgot that Nanjiro lived around here too.

Mari Nishijima nodded and found that Echizen Ryuya did not respond.She looked up at Echizen Ryuya, the expression on her face was urging Echizen Ryuya to answer her quickly.

Echizen Ryuya lowered his eyes, and answered fluently: "I don't know that Nanjiro lives near here. I haven't contacted him for... six or seven years."

"He is just my former guardian, so there is no need to contact him."

"..."

Nishijima Mari let go of his wrist, lowered his head, a little guilty: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't bring up this topic."

Echizen Longya took the initiative to hold her hand: "It's not something that can't be mentioned."

He carefully peeked at the face of Nishijima Mari, that lovely face was flushed red by the sun, but there was no look of doubt.It seems that Mari Nishijima has not immediately connected Echizen Nanjiro with the legendary 'Echizen Nanjiro'.

After all, Mari Nishijima doesn't usually pay attention to tennis news, and Echizen Minamijiro has retired for many years, and his current image is far from the tennis legend left by that year.

The West Island house is nearby.

Although Mari Nishijima moved out, in fact, the Nishijima couple did not worry about letting their daughter run away, and the distance between the two houses would not exceed three stops.

It took less time to see the kitten in the morning than Nishijima Mari imagined, so she planned to go home and water the flowers before going to lunch.

There is a private tennis court in the backyard of the West Island home, and there are two open public tennis training courts outside.

Mari Nishijima was very afraid to pass by the tennis court, and when she was about to walk to the side of the tennis court, she hesitated and grabbed Echizen Ryuya.

Echizen Longya looked down at her: "What's wrong?"

Nishijima Mari: "Is it okay for me to walk on the side next to the road?"

Echizen Ryuya didn't ask why, and changed places with her obediently.He is tall enough, and his poor shape alone can completely cover the truth of Nishijima.

Mari Nishijima breathed a sigh of relief, but still unconsciously quickened his pace, even holding hands with Echizen Ryuya a little harder than usual.

When passing by the entrance of the tennis court, the people on the court just took off a ball; the bright yellow tennis ball flew straight towards Echizen Ryuya and Mari Nishijima, and the people on the court just subconsciously shouted 'be careful'——

Echizen Ryuya raised his arm, caught the flying tennis ball with one hand, and quickly threw it back.

The tennis ball that was thrown back crossed the net, landed firmly on the player's racket, bounced, landed, and rolled aside with a grunt.Everyone on the court was stunned, staring at Echizen Ryuya with wide eyes.

And the young man with ridiculously high head, after throwing the tennis ball, with an expression of nothing to do with himself, put his hands back into the pocket of the hoodie indifferently.

Mari Nishijima, who had been counting floor tiles with his head down, raised his head and wondered, "Did they take a break?"

Echizen Longya's expressionless face just now bent into a smile: "Probably, I don't play tennis very much, so I don't know very well."

The West Island home is an independent villa with a combination lock on the front door, and a key to open the door inside.

Mrs. Xidao doesn't like to hire part-time workers, and usually cleans the house by herself.

When Mari Nishijima opened the door and went in, a thin layer of dust had obviously fallen on the hall floor.Sofas and tables, as well as other electrical furniture, were covered with thick dust covers.

She changed into her slippers and went in, and brought a pair of disposable slippers for Echizen Ryuya.

"I'll go to the yard to find a shower, and you can find a place to rest."

"Do you want me to help?"

Mari Nishijima hesitated for a moment, but nodded: "Yes."

She felt a little awkward leaving Echizen Ryuya alone in the living room.

Might as well ask him to help water the flowers.

Go through the corridor of the living room, and go out from the back door to the backyard.

The private tennis court of Xidao's family is in the backyard. Mrs. Xidao's small garden is separated from the tennis court by a low wall, mainly to prevent someone from hitting the ball over and destroying her flowers and plants during practice.

Mari Nishijima found two long-spout showers under the wall, and handed one of them to Echizen Ryuya, and the two went to collect water from the faucet together.

Summer is so hot that the water that comes out of the tap is always hot.

Mari Nishijima touched the water with his hand, then took back his wet hand.Suddenly her left cheek was splashed with a series of water drops, Nishijima Mari turned her head and saw Echizen Ryuya shaking the water from his own hand.

She thought for a moment and said, "Long Ya, did you do it on purpose?"

Echizen Ryuya has already filled the shower.He turned off the faucet with a serious expression on his face: "No, it was an accident."

Mari Nishijima: "..."

The two walked back after receiving the water. Mari Nishijima stood on tiptoe, and while Echizen Ryuya was carefully watching the road, he sprinkled water on his neck with the shower.

Echizen Longya was shocked by the water and turned around.

Mari Nishijima hugged the shower with an innocent expression: "I accidentally spilled it."

Echizen Ryuya raised his eyebrows, did not speak, but stopped in his footsteps.Mari Nishijima took two steps back cautiously, emphasizing: "It was really careless—you are my boyfriend, you can't be so stingy, and you will get angry if you sprinkle some water...Wow!"

I don't know why it turned into a water fight.

The water in the shower, the roses and bluebells in the small garden did not drink any water, and they were all played by the two childish ghosts.

Nishijima Mari shook the empty kettle in his hand, preemptively: "You—"

Echizen Ryuya took the shower away from Nishijima Mari's palm, and helped her tuck her wet hair behind her ears.He looked down at the truth of Nishijima, with a helpless expression: "You are so childish, such a big person is still playing with the shower."

Mari Nishijima: "?"

Echizen Longya held a shower head in each hand, and brought it back to the faucet to collect water.

Mari Nishijima tugged at the collar of his wet shirt, and retorted angrily: "Obviously you started it first."

Echizen Ryuya: "I said I was not careful."

Mari Nishijima was not happy: "I also said that I was not careful!"

Echizen Ryuya thought for a while, bent down, and put his face almost close to Mari Nishijima's.The faces of both of them became red and steaming because of the play just now.

Mari Nishijima blinked, feeling that the drops of water on Ryuya Echizen's forehead were about to fall on his face.

Just like the tap water coming out of the tap, it was warm.

Echizen Ryuya held Nishijima Mari's face with both hands, and squeezed in between, the girl's mouth was pouting.

He said: "I have poured more water than you - I am not even willing to pour water on you, you are not soft at all."

"If I win the battle, I want the villain to sue first."

"Truth sauce, you can't bully me like this."

The tone of his speech became lighter and lighter, and finally turned into the brisk heat of summer, passing by Nishidao Zhen's ears.

Nishijima Mari's face suddenly turned redder.

She grabbed Echizen Ryuya's wrist and tugged; Echizen Ryuya let go of it obediently, with a lazy smile on his face.Occasionally, he would bend the corners of his lips carelessly like this, making his smile extraordinarily charming.

Mari Nishijima muttered softly: "I didn't bully you..."

She recalled the 'water battle' just now, and her words became more and more unfounded.

Because indeed, as Echizen Ryuya said, when he sprinkled water, he really wanted to win, but Echizen Ryuya was passively being sprinkled.

Echizen Ryuya turned off the faucet, and handed the long-spout shower that had been connected to Nishijima Mari: "Go and water the flowers first."

Mari Nishijima: "Oh——"

There is a flower stand in the small yard, and the vines of roses run along the flower stand, and the pink and crimson flowers flow like oil paint on it.

Mari Nishijima and Ryuya Echizen worked together and quickly watered all the flowers in the yard.

Mari Nishijima didn't have much wetness on her body, and it was already dried by the sun when she just watered the flowers.But she touched Echizen Ryuya's clothes, and the black hoodie was still a little wet.

"Why don't you go upstairs and change your clothes?" Nishijima's belated conscience ached, "Although it is summer, there is still a risk of catching a cold."

Echizen Ryuya touched his wet hoodie: "But there shouldn't be any clothes I can wear here?"

Mari Nishijima: "You can wear my father's clothes, you are all about the same height."

Echizen Ryuya had no objection, and went upstairs with Mari Nishijima; Mari Nishijima used the key to open the door of her room—she stood at the door, stunned, gave a 'huh', then stepped back, and looked up at the door sticker.

She thought she was going wrong.

Echizen Longya stood behind her, taking advantage of her height, to look in easily.

Although Makoto Nishijima does not live at home, Mrs. Nishijima still keeps her room, cleans it from time to time, and often adds things to her room.

But now, Nishijima Mari's room has become a mess.

The dust cover was torn off and thrown aside, all the drawers and cabinets were opened, all kinds of game cards, notebooks, comic books, and miscellaneous sundries scattered on the floor.Even the bed was not spared, all the pillows and quilts were turned over and thrown in a mess.

Even the pot of Clivia on the balcony was raped.

Mari Nishijima scratched his head, and asked Echizen Ryuya in an overly rational tone: "This...is the scene of a burglary?"

Echizen Ryuya: "Go and see if your parents' room has been turned over."

Mari Nishijima: "That's right, we have to call the police."
