must love tennis

Compared with the elation of Qingxue's friends, who was also ignorant of this matter endured enough to witness the situation, twitched the corner of his mouth in an unclear manner, and looked at Atobe: "I don't really understand you young masters of the consortium."

"..."

Atobu didn't understand, and a question mark slowly appeared on his face: "Are you full and full?"

Shinozu was also confused: "Seeing you playing so hard this afternoon, I thought it was for 'that' boring desire to win - but instead you sent your biggest competitor here. I really didn't understand."

"What is 'that' desire to win? Desire to win is desire to win. Don't you still want to lose?" Atobe frowned unhappily. Will the next edition be improved to a higher level in the coming year?"

Even the ancient poems were used, and Long Ma was even more confused, looking at this side, then at the other side: "What are you talking about?"

The two were silent for a while.

"Okay, I understand." Renzu said slowly, "I misunderstood and thought too much, sorry."

"Otherwise?" Atobe snorted dissatisfiedly, and walked away with his head held high.

Ryoma watched his back disappear on the deck, thoughtfully: "Senior Atobe, he seems to be under a lot of pressure."

Ren Zu also put away his teasing mood, sighed and said: "Who said it wasn't? Don't you know it best? ——Oh, I don't mean to blame you."

It was the first time for Bingdi to fail before the national competition, and he didn't even make it to the rematch, which was the greatest shame for the proud Bingdi students.But not because the opponent is too strong - but because they themselves are not strong enough.

They also don't need sympathy and comfort, so Ryoma didn't say anything, just followed Shinozu and looked up at the darkened night sky before leaving: "It's so cloudy, it seems that we can't see the sunrise."

"Ah, then we can only wait for the return journey." Renzu expressed regret.

……

After such a day of activities, the amount of exercise is not small.Dinner was supposed to be the busiest time, but everyone's actions were inconsistent, and the time was staggered. Even in the end, a few people never showed up.

After Ryoma returned to his room and changed his sweatshirt, he never saw his roommate.But everyone was used to Bu Er's mysterious personality, so she didn't think much about it, and knocked on the door next door to find Tao Cheng.

Ren Zuzu opened the door for her, her half-length hair was dripping with water, and a wet towel was draped over her shoulders. She had obviously just come out of the bathroom, and Taocheng, who was only wearing big underpants, appeared soon, with a bright smile on her face, Stretching out his arm, he hooked the ninja who was about to go back around his neck, and pulled it back.

"Senior Ninja, let's go eat together."

Shinobu seemed to be unable to stand his excessive enthusiasm, and poked the muscles on his arm with his fingers: "You put on your clothes before you come out."

Looking at Ryoma again, he bumped into the senior's naked upper body, and as usual, with an indifferent face, he leaned against the door and stared at the patterns on the wallpaper.

"Hi Hi!"

Taocheng quickly let go, ran back to the bed, grabbed the clothes and put them on, and shook the water droplets from his hair: "It will be ready soon."

"Oh, I still want to blow my hair." Renzu felt a little resentful, but he didn't object anymore, and slowly followed the two along the corridor to the central elevator.

"Why so delicate? You are a man, so you must learn to dry it naturally!" Taocheng clenched his fists and said loudly.

Renzu walked and smiled: "Well, your Qingxue is really interesting."

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"It's just very passionate," he explained, "It also made me more motivated."

Ryoma glanced at him unexpectedly, with a look of disapproval: "You are too old, right?"

"That's right, young people should be energetic." Taocheng walked in the middle, hugging left and right, looking very chic, suddenly quickened his pace, and even the two of them had to speed up.

"Hurry up, or the desserts will be robbed!"

Ryoma was grabbed by his sleeves and ran away, almost tripped because of lack of understanding in his steps, and rolled his eyes: "Do you really have your share of tonight's ice cream, Senior A Tao?"

"……what."

Taocheng's expression instantly became stiff, and then his eyeballs rolled around, flickering and misty.

"So," Ren Zu also happened to show a faint wry smile, and said in a very appropriate way, "I am the same."

Taocheng slowly turned his head to look at his roommate, showing an expression of sympathy and sympathy for each other, his tear-filled starry eyes made his scalp tingle: "Don't be like this, boy, I'm not interested in men! "

……

Ryoma found the dejected Akutagawa Jiro and Mukohidake across the dining table.

One was lost to himself, and the other was deprived of the right to participate -- that's all right, his bluish and pale face at this time is probably the aftereffect of the vegetable juice.

"It's too much, Yushi!" Xiang Ri couldn't wait to sit next to his old partner, and complained to him, "That guy Feng, he ran away after eating so quickly, and didn't give me anything!"

"You know how to bully others, right?"

Ci Lang said anxiously: "But I see that there are still a lot of ice cream on the cooking table——"

Ryoma opened his mouth and took a bite, holding it in his mouth and nodded at them, very leisurely.

Xiang Ri continued to howl: "It's too much!"

"Hey, little one, don't eat too much." Ju Wan passed by them with a fruit platter, and leaned in to say, "A-Gan reminded me."

Renzu was slightly surprised, and looked at Ryoma with a smile in his eyes: "You are really treated like a child."

"Who needs it... I know it myself." She curled her lips, put down the spoon and said in a higher voice, "Senior Juwan didn't eat too much sugar last night and forgot to brush his teeth, and it hurt so much that he didn't speak for two days ?"

Kikumaru's brisk back suddenly staggered.

"Ah, don't reveal the bottom! ——Okay, I know, no matter how much you eat, I won't tell them!"

The restaurant gradually quieted down, and there was still a lot of time before the music party announced by the Atobu, and a few people sat down on the back of the chair chatting to pass the time after eating and drinking.

"Do you want to play cards? Or board games?" Taocheng suggested.

"It's a little crowded, let's wait until everyone comes to see it?" Kikumaru said, looking around, "It's strange, why didn't you see Fujiko? Did any of you see him?"

Ci Lang was drowsy with his chin resting on his hand, and he woke up in a daze, rubbing his eyes: "Who? No two, I really want to have a fight with him, I must ask him tomorrow!"

Although this guy is always not sober, he is still very energetic when he meets a strong opponent.Seeing his reaction, everyone will know the answer.

Xiang Ri also shook his head: "I went with Hiji when I went back to the room to take a shower, and I went back when I saw Fuji, but I didn't know about it later."

"Little boy, didn't Fuji come out with you?" Kikumaru turned his head again.

Ryoma was also at a loss: "There was no one when I went back."

"He's not the only one who didn't come to dinner." Renzu cleared his throat and reminded everyone, "To be honest, I didn't see Atobe either."

"Him? Could it be that he asked the waiter to deliver the luxurious meal directly to the room?" Xiang Ri didn't care, but after thinking about it, no, Huadi usually accompanied Atobe, but just now he was with Atobe. The others came together.

Taocheng rubbed his chin, and assumed the attitude of a thinker: "Could it be that something mysterious happened on this ship when we didn't know—"

Renzu: "Hey, don't be crowed."

"Hey, but isn't this a common scene in mystery novels and cartoons?" Taocheng shook his head, and was about to count out several classic cases for him, "For example, the conspiracy on the horizontal line, Juehai's— —Uuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was held down by Ninjutsu.

"Don't just jump to the theater next door, I said, something is going to happen... Isn't this like setting up FLAG!"

Kikumaru stuck out his tongue: "Okay, I know. A Tao was just joking. Fuji and Atobe, who are they, do you need to worry?"

"Add one." Xiang Ri raised his hand, then put it down.

Taocheng was about to speak when he spotted Ryoma standing up and going out with sharp eyes: "Echizen, where are you going?"

"Too full, let's go out for a walk."

She was used to acting alone, and the others ignored her. After reminding her of the time, she chatted happily again.

From the dining room, you have to take the elevator upstairs to get on the deck.Seeing that the elevator had been staying in the dormitory area, Ryoma was thinking of taking a walk to digest his food, so he went straight into the stairwell.

When she was still one floor away, she heard the familiar sound of hitting a ball and looked at the other end along the corridor. It was the sound coming from the tennis court she had used during the day.

Ryoma pushed open the door, and was dazzled by the indoor searchlight. Before opening her eyes, she felt the high-speed flying tennis ball brushing past her head, and a messy wind frizzed her hair.

"Be careful." Atobe said lazily, which was a reminder.There are countless small balls scattered at his feet, and he seems to be well-stocked and fearless.

After Ryoma got used to the light and walked near him along the field, he finally saw clearly—the wall opposite Atobe had left a deep mark.

And there is only one, almost completely embedded in the inner wall, the so-called water dripping through stone is nothing more than that.

She looked at Atobe, the flamboyant blond hair was all wet with sweat, sticking to his forehead and cheeks, he was a little embarrassed compared to his usual calm and complacent appearance.But if you saw the firm and proud light shining in his eyes, you would never feel this way.

They were separated by a distance of several meters, all silent.

Atobe raised his arm and casually wiped the sweat off his cheek with his sleeve, but the neck was still shiny, and the back of the sweatshirt was almost transparent.

After a while, he asked, "What do you need to do with my uncle?"

"No," Ryoma replied without changing his expression, "I just passed by for a walk, so I came to have a look, so there are people here."

Atobe snorted inexplicably.

"Excuse me?" she asked back.

"Just resting." He waved his hand generously, not taking it seriously.

Ryoma pondered, he probably had been suppressed for a long time, and just now he was stimulated by his forbearance, so he came here to vent... Ice Emperor has stopped the national competition, and there is no reason for the tennis club to continue to train hard on the surface , unless self-required.

If I knew this earlier, why should I be so proud?

——If you pursue your original wish, it seems to start with the underestimation of Fudo Peak.

She shrugged and walked slowly onto the court with her hands in her trouser pockets.

"Isn't it boring to practice alone?"

Atobe glanced at her, and a haughty smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "When will it be your turn for a brat like you to pity me?"

Do you sympathize?It doesn't.

Long Ma turned a deaf ear: "Lend me a beat, aren't you very strong? It's just right to be a training partner."

Atobe frowned slightly, stared at her for a while, and finally agreed reluctantly.He raised his index finger and shook it: "Just one game."

……

This round was played for a long time.

The two were tied at 40 points for a long time, chasing after each other, and the memory of the last count has become blurred.After Ryoma hit a volley, he was surprised to find that Atobe hadn't caught up.

Then she realized that he might have lost his strength.In the afternoon, I played a game with Fuji, and another person hid here for an unknown amount of time, so it's no wonder he wasn't tired.

Ryoma threw the racket back and was about to slip away quietly, but Atobe grabbed her by the collar again: "Do you want to go upstairs to blow the air?"

"Can't you?" She turned her head reluctantly and gave him a look.

"Be careful of catching a cold." He said indifferently, and let go of his hand.

After this exhaustion, Ryoma also sweated a lot, touched his stomach, and felt that it was almost time to eat some supper to replenish energy.Judging from Atobe's expression, it seemed that she wanted her to go down with him, but she still refused after thinking about it.

At night, the wind on the deck is very strong, and the temperature is lower than during the day. It is a hot and humid sea breeze, not cold at all, very cool.The boat dragged a long shadow on the silent sea, only the sound of the engine lingered in the air for a long time.

Ryoma gradually distinguished some rhythmic percussion sounds from the roar.

She walked from the left side of the deck to the right side, and saw that Buer, who had been missing for a long time, was there, with his back to her, using the outside of the cabin as a wall to practice hitting.The scene looks so casual, his movements are relaxed, but the angles of each swing coincide almost perfectly.

Even the rhythmic intervals are exactly the same.

Ryoma stood not far away and admired for a while, until Buer noticed her coming and stopped first.He turned around, twisted his loose hair behind his ears, and smiled softly.

"Did you come here specifically to find me?"
