Kaka is a cat?

Time flies by, and inadvertently, I sadly found that my third youth has run away without a trace.Over the years, my parents and Lilith also vaguely reminded me to find a boyfriend as soon as possible, and there are many people who pursue me in college, but I don’t know why, but I refused them all.I don't think it has anything to do with a certain person. I can only say that I, an old woman with a vicissitudes of life, really can't bear to spoil other good young people.

After graduating, I came to Tokyo Daily to work. As a newcomer, naturally I often do some miscellaneous work, but I am quite satisfied, because this way I have more opportunities to get in touch with various materials, It also makes me feel more at ease.Over the years, I have been sending some evidence of the Yamaguchi-gumi to the police in the name of "Yuan Takeuchi", and the police have successively uncovered several of their strongholds. This is the only thing that makes me feel gratified.

"Hey, did you watch the final match between Ryoma Sama and the world's number one Jean Brett yesterday?"

"Of course I watched it! I was so excited that I couldn't fall asleep all night! He is the first youngest Japanese to win a Grand Slam! He is so handsome!"

My ears were filled with all kinds of noisy voices, I frowned, it was really noisy, where is the professionalism of these nympho girls?Is this an occasion to be loud?Especially when that person's name was mentioned repeatedly, I just felt restless in my heart, and I couldn't settle down to sort out the information at all.

"Ah, by the way, Miss Howard seems to be alumni of Ryoma-kun, right?" Imai-senpai suddenly came to my desk, and excitedly pointed to a photo in a magazine in her hand and said, "Hey, come and tell us By the way, is he that stylish himself? Oh, 'You still have lots more to work on,' is so individual!"

I was startled, hurriedly locked those things in the drawer, and then looked at the photo in the magazine under Imai-senpai's puzzled gaze.

The man's familiar face suddenly came into view. The face that had been separated from the outline of the boy gradually overlapped with the image in memory. It was still indifferent and arrogant. Even though he was holding the Australian Open trophy in his hand, he still showed no excitement. Come out, ah, what an annoying character.

Should he really keep his promise?I smiled mockingly.

Not long after that person entered the professional tennis world, he gradually attracted the attention of all parties and was active in major tennis tournaments. He even defeated Sivan Carroll, who was ranked seventh in the world at the time, in the second year, and was called the most promising player. Someone who wants to surpass the samurai Nanjiro.But he has changed his low-key attitude towards the media in his previous life. In this strange world where tennis is respected, every time he turns on the TV, what he sees is that person's face, and newspapers and magazines are full of all kinds of news about that person. At the very beginning, I would feel devastated and didn’t understand what he was trying to do. Later on, I gradually calmed down, and I could even eat instant noodles with his handsome face without changing my expression, eh , seems to have suddenly gone to some weird place...

"Well, Miss Howard, Miss Howard..."

Imai-senpai’s voice brought me back from my chaotic thoughts, I looked at the magazine I crumpled up, smiled at her apologetically, and then said dumbly, “Probably, it’s a girl who has nothing but a good-looking face. Idiot who only cares about tennis..." Then he grinned in the angry eyes of the other party, "Well, just kidding, after all, Echizen and I don't know each other well, he's a high-ranking prince, haha..."

"Hey, Miss Howard, are you all right..."

Under the worried or terrified eyes of everyone, I laughed even more wildly, it’s okay, of course I’m fine, that person is not by my side, I’m fine, I’ve never been so fine, why don’t you believe it…

"Ne, Miss Howard, the president is looking for you."

I stopped laughing, stood up under the gloating eyes of everyone, patted my clothes lightly, and walked towards the president's office frowning. What's the matter?

In the office, shortly thereafter.

With a livid face, I stood up from the chair, trembling all over, and said incoherently, "President!...No no...I'm just a newcomer, so I should leave this kind of opportunity to the seniors... "

"Hehe, Liz, I've seen your grades. I'm very relieved to entrust you with the task this time..."

"But, but, I'm not in charge of the sports page..." I still wanted to make the last struggle.

"Xiao Lisi," the president's face suddenly became serious, "How many media want to compete with us for this interview, but Mr. Echizen just accepted our request, the condition is that you will interview in person, how can we How can you not show sincerity?"

Seeing the expression on my face that was about to cry, the old man of the president said in a soft tone, "Don't be nervous, Echizen-kun said, it's just a way to get together with an old classmate you haven't seen for a long time, you can relax ..."

... This guy is definitely a liar, right? This is obviously a liar. I'm going to go!

In the end, under all kinds of oppression by the boss and the old man, I still succumbed.My mind is completely confused now. What is that person thinking? Is it really necessary to meet again with our current relationship?

I scratched my hair annoyed and forced myself to calm down quickly. What does it matter? I chuckled, facing a "stranger" who had long since disappeared from my world, I still had to touch so many different people. necessary emotions?So, let me take a good look at what you want to do, it's all over, can it be worse than this?

In the early morning of the second day, I put on my favorite white long dress in the past, put on light makeup, and arrived at the agreed place as if I was heading to a battlefield.

That person sat quietly on the seat like that, and I seemed to have some kind of illusion, as if he was just like this, waiting for something with a stubborn attitude.

Seeing me coming, he seemed to be in a daze for a moment, and then said softly, "Kaka, you are still the same as before." His eyes were dark and gloomy, I couldn't read it, and I didn't want to read it.

I brushed my long hair and showed a perfect professional smile, "Mr. Echizen's words are really interesting. People will always change, right? How could it be the same as before?" Yes, I have not In the past, the Kaka who could only be attached to you, I am doing quite well now, I completely rely on my own strength to protect my family, and I am self-reliant, so, "We don't know each other well, Echizen-kun," I looked up into the other's eyes. "To keep things pleasant, will you address me as Miss Howard?"

The other party's pupils seemed to shrink for a moment, and then he smiled helplessly, "If it's your wish," he looked at me with amber eyes, and said in an almost gentle tone, "Hey, long time no see, Huo Miss Wall."

Suddenly, I felt that the other party was very strange, not only the ridiculous meeting at this moment, but also all his words and deeds now, that person seemed to have finally let go of something, no longer trying to cover up, but desperately wanting to express what he never showed. The other side of my past was shown to me, which made me feel inexplicably uneasy and frightened.

I coughed lightly, trying to throw away this ridiculous conjecture, "Well, let's get started." I said.

"Then, the first question is also the one that everyone is most concerned about," I said softly, "Echizen-kun, why did you decide to play tennis?"

In the silent tea room, only the fragrance of tea is wafting, and it seems that people's thoughts are also wandering to unknown distances.

"At the beginning, it was to defeat a person," said that person's voice with a hint of nostalgia. "Later, I felt that playing basketball was very happy. This is the dream and goal I have pursued all my life..."

Ah, that's right, I curled my lips.

"But then, because of tennis, I did something irreparably wrong."

"I lost someone very important, and then I had the arrogance of wanting to make it up by staying within her reach and waiting for the day she forgives me."

"However, I have never thought about whether that person wants to accept it, or even understand that some injuries, once caused, can never be wiped out."

"For a while, I was very confused. If I turned myself into the air of the other party, and the other party still couldn't accept me, what should I do? Even once, I lost myself."

"Then, I finally understood one thing, so I chose the professional network, because I wanted to stay in the most conspicuous place, so that person could see me at any time, because I remember, she liked the way I played the most. gone."

"I think I've finally matured emotionally. I understand now that I love tennis and that person is equally important to me. There is no contradiction between the two. Loving someone doesn't have to be giving up for her. Another thing that I love the same is to make a choice between the two, because a truly mature love is able to take care of career at the same time. It will not put one's own attitude to the lowest, but a mutual respect and understanding..."

"Sorry," I stood up pale, and even knocked over the tea set in my panic, but I didn't have the time to clean it up, "I'm not feeling well, let's stop here today..." Then, almost as before I ran away from the person in front of me in the most embarrassing posture, as if there was something rather terrifying chasing me behind me.

What did I just hear?I really want to laugh out loud now, can anything be more ridiculous?That person actually said that word, am I crazy or is this world crazy?

In the chaos, I didn't care about the pedestrians I bumped into. I just want to leave as soon as possible, the farther away from that person the better.

Then, suddenly, it was impossible to move forward any more.

That person, who didn't know when he caught up, grabbed my arm tightly with a decisive attitude.

I tried my best to suppress the frenzy in my heart, tried my best to keep my body from shaking, and looked back at him silently.

"Hey, Kaka, you heard me right," the man said with a smile, "I did say that word."

Looking at the other person's face that was so familiar that it seemed to be carved into his bones, I suddenly felt that I couldn't say anything.

I asked the other person in the saddest tone, "So, tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Even if you say it, do I have to accept it?

How much I wanted you to say it, your words now make me feel how ridiculous I was in the past.

His eyes were heavy, but he still didn't let go of the hand that was holding me.

The crowd gathered around and pointed at something excitedly, and there was the sound of "click" and "click" from the flashlight. The man with an ugly face took off his hat and put it on top of my head, protecting me behind him.

I tightly covered my eyes with both hands, and suddenly I was unable to speak, "Hey, Ryoma, do you still want to let me live?..."

The man's body trembled violently, he turned his head and stared at me blankly, and let go of my hand just for a split second.

And in such an instant, I broke free from his restraints and got into the taxi at the fastest speed in my life.

After the car was driving, I looked out of the car window at the face of the other party who couldn't see his face clearly, and slowly took off the hands covering my eyes. There was nothing in the eye sockets. People shed a tear.

The man just looked at it like that, and suddenly without warning, the corners of his lips curled up and he smiled.

Looking at the other party's smile that seems to be bound to win, I just feel a tingling sensation from the top of the sky.

Back at the newspaper office, I rushed to the president's office amidst everyone's suspicious eyes.

"President," I raised my head and said in the calmest voice, "About the interview I applied for last time to China, I want to go immediately."

I don't want to stay in this place for a second now.
