【Net Kings】Pink Love

The cemetery where Kazushin Ando lives is near the sea, and the sea breeze that blows from time to time carries a salty and wet smell, adding a touch of sadness.

It's getting late, especially in autumn, it's getting darker and earlier.

The man's sunny smile was fixed on a photo, and Kazushin Ando was buried under the tree behind the tombstone.

"A year ago, it was only that tall." Comparing the height of a short tree with her hand, it was just a small sapling a year ago. Akiko Hayakawa looked at the tree that had grown much taller with tears in her eyes. Tree, she couldn't help sighing, "Brother Yishen, you've been gone for so long, more than a year..." Her eyes drifted away, and her words were filled with sadness.

Sanada Genichiro just stood there quietly looking at the girl in front of him, without saying a word, just quietly accompanied her.

"Brother Yishin, I won the first competition, and we are one step closer to our agreement." Tears rolled down unconsciously, but Akiko Hayakawa forced a smile on her face, but she looked at the boy in the photo But gradually blurred.

Closing his eyes, uncontrollable tears rolled down his eyes drop by drop.

"Brother Yishen, I won the game but you are no longer by my side...why..." Choking again, she cried, "Brother Yishen, if this continues, I will forget you. What if I really forget you? What to do? Why do you have to go first, why..." The voice was completely inaudible.

Seeing the girl in front of him crying uncontrollably, Sanada Genichiro took off his coat and gently put it on her body, and then just quietly watched her by her side.

***

By the beach, the setting sun glowed a warm orange red against the sea water.

"Have you cried enough?" Genichiro Sanada looked at the girl beside him who had finally stopped crying, with reluctance in her eyes, how much sadness was hidden in her heart.

"En." Nodding shyly, Akiko Hayakawa broke out the tears she had accumulated for more than a year today.

She looked sideways at Genichiro Sanada, "Thank you." Although her eyes were red and swollen, the light shining in them could not be ignored.

"Yeah." He just responded lightly, and he and she looked at the vast and boundless sea.

The waves beat against the shore with the evening wind, and the two of them just watched the sea quietly. After a long time, because the sky was getting dark, they embarked on the way back.

Sitting on the bus, Akiko Hayakawa looked at the silent man beside her, her eyes flickered slightly, and she pulled up some of the coats she was wearing, remembering that when she wanted to return the clothes to him just now, Genichiro Sanada frowned and let him know in a low voice. Her expression with clothes on.

Her gaze involuntarily swept towards him. The young man beside him had a straight nose and a pair of always cold eyes, but he was looking out the window and didn't notice her sneak peek.

Akiko's gaze gradually shifted away.

Sanada-senpai and Kazunobu-san are completely different people.Brother Yishen is a sunny and outgoing person. Although she was young at the first meeting, Brother Yishen took him to gently teach her the details of tennis, but she never forgot, as if she would never be forgotten in her heart Alternative warmth.

He couldn't help but turn his gaze back to the man beside him.

Why can Sanada-senpai, who has always been cold and indifferent, make her feel so at ease? She will unknowingly show all her emotions in front of him, just like treating Brother Kazushin.

The two people from far and wide made her feel the same warmth...

"What are you thinking about?" Realizing that Akiko Hayakawa was looking at her but her thoughts were obviously drifting away, Genichiro Sanada asked softly to pull her back from her thoughts.

Blinking, Hayakawa Akiko's eyes were sour because of the crying just now, "It's nothing, I just remembered the past." She didn't need to close her eyes, the figure of Kazushin Ando was in front of her eyes, every move was so real .

The scenery on both sides of the street gradually became blurred due to the dark sky, but Akiko Hayakawa suddenly looked at Genichiro Sanada, "There is a story, I wonder if the senior wants to hear it?" She forced a smile, seeing that Genichiro Sanada was just silent , She laughed at herself again and quickly answered, "Senior, maybe you don't want to hear the story."

"No, I want to hear it."

Akiko Hayakawa, who was interrupted, looked at Sanada in a daze, and found the gentle look in his eyes. She smiled, "The story is long and may be boring." With a low voice, she really fell into this time. remember.

two years ago,

"Brother Yishen, Brother Yishen." A bluffing voice sounded at the door of Ando's house.

Without thinking too much, I knew that it must be Akiko Hayakawa next door who came to look for Kazushin Ando again. Ever since the five-year-old Hayakawa met Kazushin Ando, ​​who was ten years old, she has been attached to Kazushin Ando ever since, and she will pull her along no matter what she does. Together with him, in Mingzi's heart, she might replace her father with a single stretch. She will look for him when she is sad, and she will still look for him when she is happy. Finding a stretch has become a habit...

Ando Kazushin is like a gentle elder brother, caring and caring for the lively and active Akiko who always silently accepts everything about her, touches her hand when she is sad and comforts her softly, and looks at her with a gentle smile when she is happy. she.

The parents of both parties are even more happy with this kind of development. They have long believed in their hearts that the two children will definitely be together in the future, and they also regard each other as in-laws.So Akiko Hayakawa went to Ando's house to report every day.

The door was pulled open with a clang.

A naughty boy looked at the yelling girl at the door, and frowned unhappily, "I'm not here!" After speaking, he was about to close the door.

Stretching in with one foot quickly, it pressed against the door that was about to close, "What, why is brother Yishin not here at this time, go away." Pushing the door open forcefully, Akiko Hayakawa made a gesture to Takenobu Ando at the door. A grimace ran in.

Ando Takenobu closed the door forcefully, looking at Hayakawa Akiko who hurried to his brother's room, his hands clenched into fists.

Not long after going upstairs, Mingzi dragged a young man into the hall, "Brother Yishen is gone, a pigeon was pinned down, and it's right there."

The boy has short hair and a sunny smile on his face, looking at Akiko with affection and tenderness.

Walking through the living room, seeing Takenobu Ando leaning on the sofa, Akiko Hayakawa pouted, "I knew you lied to me." Then she pulled Nobu Ando out.

"Wu Shin, Akiko and I will go out for a while." Before Ando finished speaking, Akiko pulled the door out, and he smiled helplessly at Ando Wu Shin.

Follow Akiko to a flower bed.

"Brother Yishin, this is here." Akiko Hayakawa squatted down slowly, pointing carefully at a pigeon not far away that was caught in a paw by a rusty iron chain. It was worn out because of the continuous struggle of the iron chain. There was blood.

Akiko turned around and looked at Ando Yishin with bright eyes, "Brother Yishin, you can release it, it's so pitiful."

The pitiful eyes blinked, Ando Yi stretched his head and smiled softly, reached out and patted her on the head, "I'm Akiko's brother Yi Shin, how can I not do it?"

"Yeah! Brother Yishen is the best."

Watching Ando stretch out his hands and feet and walk over, he stretched out his hand to hold the pigeon down to prevent it from struggling.

"Brother Yishen, be careful not to hurt it." Akiko Hayakawa whispered as she saw the blood entangled by the chain.

"Hehe." Yishen laughed a few times, then looked at Mingzi jokingly, "I thought our Mingzi wanted Brother Yishen to be careful, what a little girl."

Looking at Ming Zi fondly, seeing her cute expression of sticking out her tongue, the smile on his face widened, and the speed of his hands became faster.

"hiss."

"Brother Yishin, be careful." Seeing that Ando's hand was cut by the rusty iron chain, Akiko Hayakawa quickly walked over to hold his hand and blew carefully.

"Silly girl, just a little wound is fine." Touching her head, Ando continued to move until he freed the pigeon's claw from the chain.

"Hold it." Handing the pigeon to Akiko, seeing the smile on her face, Ando smiled too.

It's been like this for a week.

"Brother Yishen, Xiaobai's injuries are all healed." Like offering a treasure, he put a cage in front of Ando Yishen, and the pigeon they rescued together last time has healed.

Pressing his head, Ando Yi stretched out his right hand with a piece of gauze covered, "Xiaobai is fine." He felt a little numb in his hand, and he has been feeling weak all over the past few days and has lost his appetite.

"Brother Yishen, are you still feeling unwell? Do you want to go to the hospital?" His complexion has not been good for the past few days, and he is always sweating. Akiko Hayakawa is a little worried.

"It's okay, it's just a minor illness." He stroked her hair.

Looking at Ando Yishin, Akiko nodded and said with a smile, "Brother Yishin, you have to be careful yourself, now let's release Xiaobai together."

So that day became the last thing they did together.

Ando Kazushin's illness came very quickly afterwards.

The girl cried and lay in front of Ando Yishen's hospital bed, "Brother Yishen, woo... This is not a minor illness at all... You lied to me..."

Tetanus, the cause is only that rusty chain.

A hand lightly patted her head, and he could only touch it twice very slowly because of the twitching of the arm muscles.

"Brother Yishen, it's all my fault. If I hadn't asked you to save Xiaobai, you wouldn't... woooo..." Looking sadly at the man on the hospital bed, his illness was developing too fast, and his face The muscles in his body were also paralyzed, and it was inconvenient for him to speak with his face being twitched all the time.

"No...you want to cry...we...have to play tennis together..." Bracing herself up, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with trembling hands.

"Well, Brother Yishin, you will be fine. Akiko won't cry." Wiping the tears off her face, Akiko Hayakawa forced a smile, "As we agreed, I will definitely win the tennis championship for Brother Yishin, And Kazushin will definitely win the men’s tennis championship.” With a smile, talking about the agreement between the two, Akiko Hayakawa firmly believed that Kazushin Ando would recover.

Ando tried his best to show a smile.

"So, Brother Yishen, you will definitely recover! Definitely!"

These words are still echoing in my ears, but one month later, the person on the hospital bed was covered with a white sheet.

The sound of crying and shouting resounded throughout the ward, and Ando Yishin still left...he left early at the age of the blooming season.Ando and his wife cried out of human form, while Akiko Hayakawa turned into a doll who had lost her soul, staring blankly at the hospital bed without crying or speaking.

One day, two days, three days, she kept silent, did not eat or drink, Mrs. Hayakawa was in a hurry, and the Ando family was also in a hurry.

Whether it was persuasion or scolding, she was just a wooden doll and didn't respond... Until Takenobu Ando brought the racket that he had been using all the time, she seemed to come alive.

From that day on, Kazushin Ando disappeared in Akiko Hayakawa's world, only tennis... She still looks the same... But everyone knows that Akiko Hayakawa is different.

Genichiro Sanada looked down at Akiko Hayakawa who was leaning on his shoulder. Maybe she had vented too much emotion today, and she was already asleep at this time.

Unconsciously, he reached out his hand to smooth her frowning brows, and then gently wiped away the tears still hanging on her eyelashes, and the eyes that looked at Hayakawa became softer.

The story just now was not long or short, but even though she said it in a flat tone, recalling word by word, sadness is still overflowing like a cup full of water.

Now he finally understands why this enigmatic girl is always so obsessed with tennis, and why Yukimura Seichi, who suddenly fell ill today, makes her so angry and sad...that's how it is.

Reaching out his hand to smooth her frowning eyebrows again, "Akiko Hayakawa, you have to work hard." He said softly.
