must love tennis

"This injury was from tennis?!"

The old doctor's glasses were about to fall off, and he sighed again and again: "The orthopedic department just treated a young man whose arm was injured by tennis..."

Ryoma's face was deep: "Hmm..."

This is definitely senior Kawamura.

However, compared to the awe-inspiring gaze of the doctor, what made her more stressed was the presence of two door gods standing behind her.

At the end of the game, coach Ryuzaki was supposed to bring Ryoma to the hospital immediately, but Tezuka stood up and said, "I'll take him there."

Facing Ryoma's suspicious gaze, he calmly explained: "I promised your brother to take good care of you."

"..." Is there such a thing?

She racked her brains to remember, but couldn't remember clearly.

As for Coach Ryuzaki, he was a little surprised at first, he turned his hesitant eyes around Ryoma, and nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Tezuka."

After finishing speaking, she gave Ryoma a look of "be careful yourself".

Unfortunately, Ryoma didn't understand.

On the other side, Iwu Shensi didn't think about it anymore, but with deep resentment in his eyes, he tried his best to convey "I didn't mean to, but I didn't want to come, if the captain didn't say it... well, I just Let's see if your injury is serious, but if you want me to pay for medical expenses... I have to think about it" complex emotions.

It's amazing.

It wasn't until the doctor finished treating the wound and said, "It will recover after a few days of training", that Yi Wu seemed relieved, and his shoulders were flattened.

While Tezuka went to get the medicine, he looked at Ryoma again.She was feeling a little dizzy, so she sat down on a chair outside the corridor, and flicked the zipper of her backpack with her fingers boredly.

"Hey, brat." Yi Wu said.

Ryoma looked up at him symbolically, with a lazy look.

"Although..." He hesitated to speak, and after struggling for a while, he seemed reluctant to say, "I'm sorry for hurting you today."

This apology was finally very sincere, Ryoma let out a groan, but actually didn't have much resentment towards him.

Anyway...

"It's just a defeated general." She murmured softly.

The other party obviously heard it. Veins popped out on his forehead, and the corners of his mouth twitched, trying to hold back: "Sure enough, you are still too arrogant. I hate this kind of person the most."

"However," Yi Wu changed the subject and said, "I'm serious, you should be more careful in the future. Maybe you won't be so lucky next time... Then again, this is the first time I've seen you like this The tenacious and desperate little devil, just to catch that ball—is it important?"

Long Ma raised the corners of his lips slightly, and asked, "Isn't winning the game important to you?"

"Of course..." he replied subconsciously, "but, you..."

"Then, I don't want to lose even more than you do." Ryoma said seriously.

After a moment of silence, Yiwu sighed in frustration and turned his head away.

"I really lost to you. Forget it, seeing the legendary two-sword style today is a good harvest. Listen carefully, next time, don't think about luck, brat."

"Then let's wait until the capital meeting." Long Ma said nonchalantly, waving his hand, "Let's go slowly."

"...Tsk."

Yi Wu frowned, and finally left.

When he turned around, Ryoma immediately closed his eyes, raised his head slightly and leaned against the back of the chair, and exhaled.

While she did win the match in 10 minutes, it wasn't easy.Her left eye was injured and she couldn't open her eyes, which led to the fatigue of overuse of her right eye, the physical exertion of strenuous exercise, and the dizziness caused by excessive blood loss, which made her fall into an unprecedented fatigue.

Dizzy, almost fell asleep.

That's right, I didn't even take a nap today, she thought drowsily, then suddenly shivered and opened her eyes again.Tezuka didn't know when he came back, he stood beside her for a while.

He didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.

Ryoma rubbed his right eye, yawned, picked up his backpack and prepared to stand up, Tezuka then asked, "Are you uncomfortable?"

"No, just a little sleepy..."

The moment he stood up, Ryoma suddenly felt something was wrong.

But her body had never felt this way before, which made her feel confused for a moment, and after two seconds, she lowered her head slowly and looked behind——

!!!

There was blood on the chair? !

This fright was enough to make Ryoma conscious for an instant, but his mind went blank, and his body froze in place, at a loss.

No, she still has common sense, and her first reaction was not "Is it over, am I terminally ill?".She quickly realized that teenage puberty had come upon her.

—but why now!

It's over, what should I do now? !

The dumbfounded Ryoma raised his head stiffly, and saw Minister Tezuka who was also dumbfounded.There was no room for comfort, she just felt cold all over, and her blood vessels seemed to stop flowing.

Absolutely found it this time.

By the Minister, at this time, with his own eyes...

The heart is ashamed.

Ryoma sat back slowly, with his hands on his knees and a dignified posture.

"You didn't see anything." She said firmly, without squinting.

Tezuka: "..."

A 14-year-old boy with a mature appearance is lost in thought.

That, what he saw just now, is that...

That should be it.

Ryoma: "No!!"

Tezuka: "..."

One of them is standing and the other is sitting.

Eyes wide open.

Ryoma decided to stay the same and stay in the chair.

On the surface, she was still very calm. In fact, her knuckles were gripping the edge of the seat, they were already slightly white, and she swallowed carefully.

Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let it out.

He looked up again, but unexpectedly, before he could see anything clearly, his eyes suddenly went dark.Huh?After she was dazed, she realized that it was Tezuka who had taken off the jacket of the team uniform, and then covered her body.

Ryoma raised his hand habitually, and the coat that covered his hair slid onto his shoulders.After all, it was a middle school boy who was a head taller than her. The team uniform hung down almost to the knees, and it could definitely block the important parts, so it was very safe.

Realizing the other party's intentions, Ryoma was still in a daze, clutching the hem of his clothes, the bewilderment on his face and heart could add up to fifty laps around the Qingxue tennis court.

This... what's the situation?

Is he not angry?

Tezuka avoided her gaze, and asked calmly, "Did Ryuzaki-sensei know?"

Recalling the various reactions and attitudes of their coaches since Echizen Ryoma joined the club, some of the oddities in the details were connected into a complete chain of evidence at this moment, which made him enlightened.

It turned out to be the case.

Today I hesitated for a while before agreeing to let him take her to the hospital. Is it because I am afraid that my gender will be found out during the examination?

However, Ryoma didn't really know. He shook his head and thought for a while before answering, "She seems to know my dad..."

"Your father is," Tezuka paused, and said calmly, "Echizen Nanjiro?"

Hey, the smelly old man is very famous.

Ryoma nodded frankly: "Yes."

Tezuka fell silent again.

It's frightening.

After a while, Long Ma was the first to be unable to hold back, and tentatively said, "Minister..."

"Echizen." Tezuka interrupted her and asked directly, "What is your goal in playing tennis?"

This question was already mentioned for the second time today.The way of asking was slightly different, but Ryoma thinks it should be the same in retrospect.

This time, she replied without hesitation: "Of course it is to beat someone."

"Someone?" Tezuka asked.

"Well, it's not just him..." Long Ma paused, "And my brother?"

"You mean Echizen Nanjiro." Tezuka said with certainty.

"Ah."

She didn't quite understand why the minister insisted on pursuing this kind of issue, seeing his face suddenly covered with a gray shadow, he remained silent, and felt a little uneasy.

Want to beat her dad, can't you?

Finally, Tezuka said, "I understand."

What do you understand?

Long Ma was confused and could only stare at him helplessly, waiting for his follow-up.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Tezuka changed the subject and asked her.

"Ah? No...it's okay." Ryoma added, "It may be due to excessive blood loss, and I'm a little dizzy now."

She was incomparably open-minded. As for the reason for the excessive blood loss, the earlobe of the usually stable boy turned slightly red.He calmly pushed down his glasses to cover up.

"Can you still go?"

Ryoma guessed that he was asking himself if he could still walk home.

As long as the "remains" on the scene are dealt with, it should be fine, she thought, nodding firmly.

"Is there really no problem?" Tezuka reconfirmed.

"Ok!"

So he said, "Wait here for a while."

"I can--"

"If it's going straight home, of course it's fine." Tezuka said, "However, we still have to go to one place."

"what?"

He didn't explain much, just took out his mobile phone, brought up the SMS interface, and showed her the screen.

Here is the message from Dashi:

Aaron asked us to gather at his house!His father invited us to eat sushi, so be sure to bring him!

PS: If the kid is shy, you have to carry him over!I believe that as a minister, you will be fine! 【make a fist

Also "brackets make a fist"!What the hell!

Besides, why is she expected to be shy? ——No, why is it "shy"!No such thing at all!

The dragon and horse were in a mess in the wind, and when they raised their heads, they were even a little at a loss: "I want to go too?"

"Yeah." Tezuka replied.

"I mean..." She hesitated, "Can I still go?"

"Yeah." The same short and powerful answer, Tezuka clearly saw what she was thinking about, and added a little, "Don't worry, I won't tell them unnecessary things."

Yes, Ryoma also believed in the minister's ability to keep secrets.

But the problem is-

He is the head of the youth tennis club, and he accepted the reality of "there is a girl mixed into the men's tennis club" without any hindrance. Don't you have any opinions? !

"You want me to have an opinion?"

"Of course not..." Ryoma lowered his head embarrassingly.

"I might be able to understand Ryuzaki-sensei's intentions." Tezuka pondered, and opened his mouth to explain her confusion, "From your performance, I have no reason to object. But—"

He frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on her face.

"I do have an opinion."

Like a heavy blow with a mallet, Ryoma's heart tightened immediately, and he opened his mouth slightly without making a sound.

As a result, Tezuka followed up with another sentence: "Today is not suitable to talk about this matter."

"……what?"

Because she just won the qualifiers for Qing Xue, in order not to hit her, shouldn't she be kicked out of the tennis club that day?

"If I mention it now, I'm afraid you won't be able to recover from your injuries in the next few days." Tezuka continued calmly.

Ryoma continued to feel lost: "Oh..."

It's okay, she is very strong, so I can't let him see it.

After talking about this, Tezuka looked at his watch: "It's getting late, you have to change clothes."

"I don't have any other pants." Ryoma said, "The spare ones are in the school club..."

"So, I said, you wait here."

Eh……

Oh……!

Looking at his back, Longma couldn't help leaning forward a little, and immediately felt the discomfort of the qi and blood under him, so scared that he sat back quickly, maintaining a stiff sitting posture, and didn't dare to move. Accidentally, blood flowed into rivers.

Gradually, she began to understand Tezuka's intention of repeatedly confirming her "whether she is uncomfortable".

Hmm... there seems to be something wrong.

The lower abdomen sank, as if something was stirred together, making a gurgling sound.

Is it just the physiological pain that adults say?

But it didn't seem to be "pain" in the real sense. I couldn't tell what it felt like, but it really made her... feel uncomfortable all over. She unconsciously pulled her coat tightly and leaned against the back of the chair to curl up weakly.

The fatigue after strenuous exercise overlaps, making people drowsy.

"Are you ok?"

Ryoma narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked towards the voice coming from above his head.

The teenager in hospital clothes looked at her with concern.He was half-bent, and the slightly long tails of hair hung down from the side of his face, which was a little messy and thin, which made his fair face even more delicate and handsome.

But no matter what, this attire needs more attention than she looks, right?

"I..." As soon as Long Ma uttered a few words, his eyebrows were furrowed, his tongue was knotted, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"It's because you don't feel well." The young man said quite understandingly, his slightly sharp eyes glanced at the thighs covered by the coat, as if he understood something quickly, and said clearly, "It's the first time, so I was caught off guard - Where is your family, have you gone to buy oranges?"

Ryoma: "..."

"Sorry, just kidding." He changed his words politely, his eyes fell on the logo of the jacket, "Are you waiting for your boyfriend to come back?"

ah?etc? ?

The boy obviously regarded her team uniform as a "boyfriend's shirt", and continued on his own: "If you feel uncomfortable, can I give you this warm water bottle?"

Where did the warm water bag come from?

As if by magic, he took out a light blue "small package" from under the coat draped over his shoulders, and explained: "This was given to me by a child who was hospitalized together. Maybe he was worried that I would feel cold."

"...So, aren't you cold?" Ryoma said with difficulty.

"No." The young man smiled slightly and said, "Actually, don't look at me like this, I am usually very healthy. Obviously, you need it more now, right?"

Jiankang people will not be hospitalized at all!

There was a little worry on the brows of the young man, but it quickly dissipated, and he continued to smile gently: "If it's the first time, if you don't have experience--you should pay attention to keeping warm during special periods, and don't eat irritating things. It's starting to turn hot, so it's better not to drink cold drinks... Oh, sorry, I'm used to preaching. This is common sense, your boyfriend will definitely remind you, right?"

"..." Ryoma.

No, she really doesn't have a boyfriend.

"Girls should take good care of themselves. Then I won't disturb you for now." The boy stood up straight and looked towards the end of the corridor.The slightly familiar silhouette didn't surprise him, but he felt that it was inconvenient to say hello at this time and place.Then, he nodded to Ryoma, turned and left.

The hospital gown hanging on the shoulders flutters with the movement, making him full of mystery.

Ryoma hugged the warm water bag that was still warm, turned his head, and saw Tezuka put the paper bag beside him.

"Ms. Ryuzaki helped to buy it." Tezuka added an explanation in a timely manner, as if worried about her difficulty in accepting it.

In less than half a second, the rigorous minister updated his rhetoric: "With her granddaughter."

what.

……

Half an hour later, Kawamura's sushi restaurant.

Dashi heard the voice from outside the door, and excitedly went to open the door: "You are finally here! I thought—"

The kid is playing with his temper and refuses to come over.

Before finishing the second half of the sentence, he lowered his head and looked into Tezuka's arms.

The "shy ghost" hugged by the princess is covering his face with his hands tightly, trying to treat himself as a transparent person.

"Ah, this is..." Dashi raised his head slowly, unable to react.

"You said it." Tezuka replied. "It's too tiring to carry."

I don't really mean that? !
