The Deceiver's Lair

Unexpectedly, a cold mechanical female voice came from the other end of the phone telling him that the person he dialed is currently shutting down. Nioh didn't know how many times he had called Juwa, but the result was the same every time.

Yagyu, who was sitting next to King Ni, watched him silently close the phone, even though he knew the result, he still asked the question. "What about Nioh? Still can't get through?"

"Well, it's still off."

Marui who heard Nioh's voice turned around from the seat in front. "That's worrying! That man seems very difficult to deal with."

Marui, who is in the same class as Nioh, has seen Nioh's worries these days. Whenever Nioh is out of class, he will try to call Towa, even if there is a short break during training. Marui can imagine that even if he returns home , this young man who is known as a trickster on the court also keeps making phone calls, just wanting to hear news that the other party is safe.

Just like the tennis club is heading to the Tokyo venue now.

Today is the second match day of their Kanto competition. It is almost certain that Juhe will not attend, but in comparison, everyone is more worried about whether she is safe or not, because Juhe has not come to school for a week. .

It seemed that someone had asked for sick leave for her in advance, but this made them worry even more. Was she seriously injured?Was it beaten by that dangerous boy?

They had no way of knowing this, because even if they went to see her at Shihe's house after school, there was no one there.

"By the way, who is that person?" The simple and straightforward Kirihara finally couldn't help asking the question that had been simmering in his heart for the past few days. "How did Asahi-senpai know such a dangerous guy?"

"I don't know." Liu took a look at Sanada who had been silent since just now, and said, "But there is an 87% chance that it is related to the group of people we met at the beach last time."

"Indeed." Kuwabara couldn't help but feel ashamed when he thought of that time at the seaside, the horrible behavior of the baby named Liboen. "Everyone in that group is not normal."

"..." They all fell silent.

"Anyway, let's focus on the game we're waiting for now." Sanada said lightly. "Don't forget that we have to go to see Yukimura after the game."

"That's right." Marui turned back and sat down again. "We can't live up to the expectations of Minister Yukimura."

Can't be distracted now! Because, there is another person, there is a person waiting in the hospital to return to the court to win Lihai's three consecutive championships with them.

Probably because he wanted to visit Yukimura after the game. The match against Meishi Kari was fast and hard, and it was over after winning three consecutive [-]-[-]s. He had to pack up and leave before the chairs were even warmed up.

"Oh?" Kirihara, who was packing his golf bag, always felt that he heard strange voices. He was sure that he was not hallucinating, so he raised his head and asked, "It seems that there is some sound... It came from Nioh-senpai's golf bag."

Nioh quickly found out the source of the strange voice in Kirihara's mouth, and found that it was his phone that had been set to vibrate because of the game, and it was vibrating because of an incoming call. The person is the person he has been thinking about these past few days──Asahi Towa.

Nioh immediately pressed the answer button, regardless of the other end's reaction, and directly preemptively asked: "Hello! Towa? Are you injured? Are you okay?"

When the others heard the name, they stopped what they were doing and looked up at King Ni.

"..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and King Ni's expression became more and more anxious. Just when he couldn't help but want to speak again, a weak and hoarse voice finally came from the other side.

"Nio...I have a cold..."

Niwang wondered if he had heard wrong. "...What are you talking about?"

However, the other party slowly repeated it again. "I am sick."

"..."

To be honest, Nioh really doesn't know how to describe his current mood. He has been worrying about Shihe's safety for the past few days, but he didn't expect that she was not defeated by the opponent, but brought down by a cold, which made him extremely entangled.

Towa thought he was angry, so he opened his mouth cautiously. "...I'm sorry, but I really don't have the strength... so can I trouble you to go to the pharmacy to buy cold medicine and something to eat?"

Dino has already returned to Bingsheng with Hibari, and everyone she knows is in Tokyo, but in Kanagawa, the only person she can think of to trouble is Nioh.

The reason why Juhe first thought of Nioh was because Nioh knew her identity and didn't stay away from her, so he chose Nioh as a matter of course, but Nioh thought that Juhe relied on him subconsciously and regarded him as a the closest person.

"I see, but I'm in Tokyo now, wait a minute and I'll go back soon."

A big progress in the relationship, such a good opportunity, of course Nioh would not refuse, after the call was over, he still had a bright smile on his face, and everyone knew that Juhe was safe and sound at that smile.

It's just that everyone doesn't understand what's going on with his overly good mood ==

"Ahem." Yagyu coughed a few times, trying to attract Nio's attention. "Nio, you seem to be in a good mood?"

Nioh glanced at everyone's curious expressions, lowered his head to pack his ball bag, and said flatly, "Well, it's just so-so."

──Who are you kidding!

Everyone shouted in unison.

"By the way, Towa has a high fever now, so I'm going back to Kanagawa later, and I won't go to Yukimura's this time."

Sanada paused, then nodded in agreement.

"I see." Liu raised the corner of his mouth and said. "That's why Nioh's good mood is right! Asahi immediately called someone else, but Nioh."

So everyone understood, Marui looked at Nioh for a long time, and couldn't help teasing him.

"I really don't understand, Nioh, why don't you confess? This is not a fraudster at all, but a lover!"

Many people immediately laughed. Yagyu pushed his glasses and said, "Amorous...that's very apt." Sanada lowered his head silently. Only Kirihara looked shocked.

"Does Nioh-senpai like Miss Asahi-senpai?" He always thought that these two were just a little closer.

Kuwahara looked at Kirihara helplessly, and said, "Akaya, you haven't found out yet..."

"But let's not talk about red." Liu zipped up the bag and put it on his shoulder, motioning for everyone to walk. "She didn't even notice Asahi at all."

"So..." Kuwahara speculated, "Asahi is actually the slow type?"

"No, I don't think so."

Nioh looked ahead and explained slowly: "She has a good EQ, but she just never thought of this possibility, so of course she didn't notice it. If you want her to understand, there is only one conclusion, and that is a straight ball."

Feeling powerless, Nioh scratched his hair. "That's what I'm worst at."

"You know it very well, King Ni." Liu felt that his relationship was actually very promising.

"Well, it's okay." Nioh shrugged, pointed at the station, and said. "I'm going back first, give my regards to Yukimura."

The teammates nodded and said goodbye to each other. Nioh quickly bought a ticket and took the train back to Kanagawa. After arriving in Kanagawa, he quickly went to the pharmacy to buy a bottle of cold medicine and some ingredients to Towa's home.

He took out the key from under the floor mat, put the things he bought on the coffee table in the living room, then walked up to the second floor, went to Shihe's room, and knocked on the door.

"...Please come in."

With the master's permission, King Ni pushed open the door gently, and saw Towa huddled under the quilt at a glance, leaving only one head outside, his face was flushed, his brows were tightly frowned, and his painful appearance made him feel distressed.

King Ren stretched out his hand to touch her forehead, it was very hot, knowing that the temperature was not low, his face could not help but pulled down, and asked: "How did you do this?"

Shihe opened his eyes to look at him with a thin slit. "I'm so tired after playing, I accidentally became like this..."

Seeing her so sad, King Ren now not only did not have the joy before, but was a little angry, angry that she didn't know how to take care of himself, but his face froze for a while, and then he sighed heavily, turning into helplessness.

what else can we do?This is her world...

King Ni went to the bathroom to get a basin of water and a towel, then went to the refrigerator downstairs to find some ice cubes, mixed the ice cubes with water, soaked the towel, wrung it dry and put it on her forehead, then said softly to her: " I'll get you something to eat first, you need to eat something before you can take medicine."

After Towa nodded slightly, King Ni went downstairs to make some porridge for her, and brought it up with cold medicine.

Gently patted Shihe to wake him up, then helped her to sit up, watched her eat the porridge slowly, took the medicine, and let her lie down again.

After changing the towel for her, Towa fell asleep soon after taking the medicine. Nioh went back to the kitchen to tidy up his things. After finishing, he went back to Towa's room and changed the towel for her after a while. Nioh felt that I don't look like myself anymore.

For her joy, worry, anger, embarrassment...

From the moment he realized it, he changed. Although he knew that she was not a simple person, it was incredible that he was not afraid at all, and he never thought of shrinking back.

Strange! So many girls in school confessed to him, why did he only like this one?

Nioh subconsciously gave a "sneak" and smiled slightly. He suddenly felt that what Marui said was right, that he was indeed a lover.

But this is liking. If you really like someone, you will become involuntary.

I don't know how many times the towels were changed. After confirming that her fever was gone, King Ni left quietly after seeing that she was sleeping soundly and did not wake her up.
