Net king and colleagues: cool view and full moon

The box is full of roses.

Red, brilliant, warm, blooming.Static yet flexible, without a natural atmosphere, but exquisitely crafted.A paper rose the size of a walnut seemed to be stretching its petals, and the fiery red color filled his eyes, and it seemed that the whole room brightened in an instant.

"Fuquan Rose?" Guanyue asked in amazement, and then a smile appeared in her eyes, "99 roses, I really didn't expect that Mochizuki would have such a romantic side."

"Do you still need to say?" The arc of the corner of Atobe's mouth widened a little, and suddenly he picked up the middle one casually, and saw what was covered under it.

Only then did Guanyue realize that there were two floors in the box. The center of the lower floor seemed to be in the shape of a book, but the surrounding area was still full of roses: "It seems that I counted wrongly, there are more than 99."

Atobe didn't answer him, but carefully picked up the "book", and after a closer look, he was immediately stunned.

The pages of the book are neatly bound, even the page numbers are very clear on the white pages, the lines on the front and back covers are clearly visible, and even the spine of the book is exactly the same as the ones he has seen before.

He had borrowed this book of sonnets from the library, so he didn't think there was anything special at first glance, but upon closer inspection, he found that it was a manuscript copy!The fonts are elegant and unrestrained yet graceful, and he can imagine her copying them down one by one and then carefully binding them up.Perhaps thanks to her artist, Shakespeare's head on the cover is almost as if printed in ink.

Atobe's fingers paused for a moment, and then turned down immediately, although he couldn't clearly explain what he was looking for.After a while, he found the signature on the last page.

'October [-]th, a gift to Jingwu from my son. '

Next to it is her signature hand-painted seal, which actually feels nondescript when you think about it carefully.

"...Your birthday present is gone." This was Guan Yue's first thought.After seeing Atobe's inexplicable expression, he felt that it would be better for him to keep quiet and drink tea honestly.

What is this? Take it out in advance and pay it in advance?Really... Atobe closed his eyes, hiding his joy and sadness.

"Wait, what are you going to do?" Guan Yue's eyes widened and he almost spit out the tea

"Drink slowly, I won't steal from you." Atobe snorted, without slowing down at all.

"...you are not suitable for drinking tea even if you are a sick patient. But sneaking out in the morning is considered disobedient to the doctor's orders, and my aunt asked me to watch you next time!"

Atobe has changed his coat again, and made a silent gesture to him: "Anyway, it won't be a problem to have a good rest in the next few days, just like in the morning. Also, please help me keep my box ——Thank you." After finishing speaking, he closed the door silently.

Guanyue: "..." After being shocked, he decided to take another sip of tea to calm down.

But... Does Auntie trust herself too much?Seeing Atobe disappearing around the corner so unimpeded, Guanyue's mouth twitched.

Sometimes the closer you get, the more you want to retreat.It's like he wanted to go forward in the morning but made the opposite decision at the last moment, just like looking at the exquisite promotional poster at this moment, he doesn't know whether he should appear.Timidity, the least likely emotion to appear in him, was unbridled at this moment.

"Atobe?!" Ninzuzu looked at the person who suddenly appeared in surprise, and then watched helplessly as the person pulled him into the cubicle before others found out.

"... Are you so surprised?"

Ren Zu nodded honestly: "Auntie told me that you are awake, but she didn't tell me that you can go to the ground—"

"Wait, what are you doing?"

"Of course I went to tell Zhizi. But what was in that box in the morning? I didn't dare to peek, so I handed it to my aunt."

"You don't need to know, it's for my uncle anyway." Atobe suppressed the corners of his mouth that wanted to rise, with a serious expression, "Wait, wait and see."

"...Atobe, aren't you afraid of meeting Chiko?"

"Ninja, Zu, Yu, Shi!" Atobe said through gritted teeth.

Renzu said that he understood: "But if she asks, then I have to say. You go to rest, if you let Zhizi know that you just woke up and ran over, she will scold you. And the prince is just a trick, you You don’t have to worry about playing.”

Atobe: "...It's really nice of you to assign me the role of a secondary player." She was reluctant.But anyway, it's not Zhizi who plays the princess, and his desire to play is not that strong.

Shinobu shrugged, saying that he couldn't understand Atobe's behavior of wanting to hide his whereabouts even after he came here. Maybe it's because he has been with Zhizi for a long time, and this guy has become a little strange.

But no matter what, the stage play has already begun——

- "A long, long time ago, a cute little princess was born in the tennis kingdom." The tone was cheerful and melodious.

Xiang Ri, who was wearing a pink tutu dress, appeared under the light, with a blue bow in his hair. If you ignore the resentment in his eyes, he is indeed a cute and delicate little princess.

'That's right, Zhizi and Renzu set up a scheme together when drawing lots, why didn't the minister draw the princess? ! '

-"On the first birthday of the little princess, the king and queen held a grand banquet, and invited many tennis players to attend! Among them were four, uh no, four tennis elves." Inevitably brought jokes with expectations.

Wang Cilang couldn't hold back, but still yawned.Regarding this, his queen thought that she should do something to divert the audience's attention and prevent everyone from laughing at Senior Cilang, but he couldn't think of a good way, so he had to pull his skirt and look at Cilang apologetically.

Atobe clearly saw Feng's entanglement, and sighed for this junior who was too kind and gentle.

- "The elves decided to give their blessings to the little princess." Zhizi couldn't hold back anymore.

"I wish the princess can always uphold the perseverance and enterprising spirit. ——Che, not even this, it's really embarrassing." Shido couldn't hold back, and muttered something in a low voice. be heard by the audience.

'You are inferior! ! ! 'Xiang Ri tried to kill him with his eyes.

'Senior Xiangqian, calm down. 'Feng was very worried.

Atobe: "..."

"Follow the belief of restraint, even if the situation is unfavorable, you will have high fighting spirit. Let's learn some ancient martial arts again." Hiji said earnestly.Zhizi was very satisfied with his rigorous attitude, but it would have been even better if he hadn't held a racket and posed in a demonstration pose, because half of the audience with dropped jaws already accounted for it.

Taki nodded slightly, and said succinctly: "I bestow the precise timing ability to Her Royal Highness."

Xiang Ri's expression finally returned to normal.

But in the next second, the jaws of the other half of the audience also dropped——

"...the ability to imitate, scare the opponents out of their wits in a tennis match." Hua said expressionlessly.

Atobe spat out a mouthful of water.He knew very well who wrote the script, but he wasn't so mad at the time... It must be that Renzu made some suggestions in the past two days, and Zhizi adopted them.Anyway, it's hard for Huadi.

- "But—there are five tennis elves in this country, because the king felt that an odd number is too lonely to be as perfect as an even number, so he only invited four." Hahaha, such a reason was really thought up by Cilang who played the king.

Cilang nodded seriously, very cooperative.

- "Now, a fifth tennis elf, furious that he wasn't invited, has barged in."

Bumping the ball up and down, the vague curvature of the lips gave people a dangerous feeling: "You didn't invite me, really, I knew I was very vengeful. Then I will curse, the princess will play in tennis I was beaten to death in the match... I was knocked down!" After finishing speaking, Ren Zu walked away with a normal expression on his face.

Zhizi wanted to cry, but she didn't know whether Renzu said the wrong words on purpose or not.But the narration has to go on—

-"The elves looked at each other, and immediately held an emergency meeting. In the end, it was decided not to let the princess touch tennis. But the princess will always grow up and enter a rebellious period-finally one day, she couldn't help but hold the racket for the first time, Because as the princess of the tennis kingdom, she is the only one in the whole country who can't play tennis."

Xiang Ri picked up a tennis ball and threw it into the air, and "knowledgelessly" served a beautiful ball.

"What a brave little princess." The evil Ninja sighed regretfully, and casually resorted to K&N.

- "The princess was cut down to the ground and she was in a coma for a full 100 years." Zhizi's voice became low, "100 years later, the princess is still sleeping. According to the usual practice, there will be a prince with top skills to save her. In fact ...the same is true." The voice stopped abruptly.

They originally brought in Director Sakaki as a helping hand, but at this moment, the boy in Chinese clothes who suddenly came into their sight was clearly...

'To son. Atobe's eyes were burning, and he said silently.

Renzu also showed surprise, not knowing when the other party changed clothes and went on stage without making a sound.

Zhizi clutched her palm tightly, and the tingling brought her back to her senses in time: "The prince wanted to wake up the sleeping princess, so he gave the princess a kiss." The voice was no longer as steady as before, but she had already exhausted herself. full strength.

Atobe stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers: "Let's indulge in my grandpa's gorgeous kiss—huh?" At the end of the tone, there was already a dangerous meaning.

Princess Xiangri, who was in a coma, understood her minister's psychological activities at this moment too well, and she was very cooperative when she was surprised: "Ah, where am I?——" At the moment Atobe leaned over, the corpse was successfully cheated.

Of course, the excited audience in the audience couldn't see their specific actions clearly because their sight was blocked.

- "...Since then, the prince and the awakened princess have lived a happy game life."

After all, the princes of tennis stepped forward to take a curtain call.Including Zhizi who was dragged by Atobe.

In the audience, everyone's expressions haven't returned to normal for a long time.As expected of the tennis club... it was shocking.

"Nice design, isn't it?" Fuji smiled as always.

"Heh..." Kikumaru trembled.

Backstage, Zhizi looked at Atobe who hadn't changed her clothes yet, and choked up for a moment.Atobe seems to be the same as before, but at the moment he looks a little tired, or haggard.There were too many things she wanted to say, and there was no way to clearly distinguish them.But generally speaking, at this time, people's expressions will express the owner's emotions uncontrollably and frankly.

The most obvious manifestation is that Zhizi's tears fell down suddenly, and his eyes widened, like a small pond that was constantly bubbling and couldn't stop.

Atobe instantly returned to his morning state, not knowing what to say, and unable to judge how he should react.In fact, this was the first time she cried in front of him, and it was so sudden, violent, and fast.Because of this, he was even more at a loss.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Atobe hugged her.He has never run out of words, but it seems that every time he is in front of this girl, he always finds that his language has problems, either he is choked speechless or he is at a loss like now.But this time the anxiety was stronger than ever.

She cried for a while and began to struggle, accompanied by the sound of "woo woo".

Atobe hugged her even tighter, but the movement didn't dispel his uneasiness.

Zhizi's choked voice sounded weakly: "...you relax."

Atobe was stunned, and let go of her: "Don't cry, huh? I'm fine..." Then he found that the other party's strange voice just now seemed to be due to lack of air.

Zhizi took a few breaths, lowered the corner of his mouth and planned to cry for a while, but felt embarrassed again, and his thoughts slowly returned to normal: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's nothing serious." Atobe covered her face with a tissue, "Sorry for worrying you."

"You still know?!" Zhizi wiped away his tears, seeing that the other party was fine, his anger began to gain the upper hand, "What kind of car accident happened when nothing happened!"

"...It's my fault. Here, here are the flowers." Atobe kissed her and handed her a paper rose.

Zhizi didn't react at first, and felt less angry. After taking it, he realized something was wrong: "Isn't this what I folded for you?"

"Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. The stack is beautiful, teach me when you have time." Atobe looked at her and smiled.

"I've learned it for a long time, don't teach!" Zhizi sat down on the sofa and didn't look at him.

Keigo Atobe, calm down, don't care about this time, she will be pissed off if she laughs now.Atobe took a deep breath, suppressed a smile and sat beside her: "Okay, listen to you. But... when did you finish that sonnet?"

Zhizi pursed her lips: "Last week - so your birthday present is gone."

Atobe: "!!!"

"Anyway, if you want to blame it, blame Renzu. He said that you might lose your memory... I don't think it will be necessary in the future, so I might as well forget it for you now..." Zhizi's voice was choked up again.

Alright, I will deal with him later.Atobe said that the friendship with Shinobu is very fragile, and it is more important to coax this guy well now: "How can there be such a ridiculous thing-and even if I forget the whole world, I will definitely remember you." Then he saw the other party with satisfaction Little by little, her ears turned red, "So don't worry, huh?"

Zhi Zi moaned and said that Ren Zu is actually a good classmate.

"Zhizi... I have to confess something. Actually, I slipped out this morning, but I went back in time." Atobe held her finger, and gently stroked the wound on her fingertip.

Zhizi widened his eyes.

Atobe hesitated for a moment, looked into her eyes and said, "I don't know what I'm afraid of, but... just afraid of seeing you." Especially he couldn't imagine that before he woke up, Zhizi would have What kind of mental activity.

But to his surprise, Zhi Zi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Then did you see that Shuimu Dai provoking?"

"Ok?"

"I think I'm great."

"...My uncle thinks so too." Is this showing off?Atobe buried his head in the crook of her neck, hiding the smile on his face.He should have thought earlier that this guy's attention was always in places he didn't expect.

"Zhizi." Atobe said suddenly, "I'm sorry."

Zhizi understood what he meant, and didn't intend to continue asking: "It's okay, I forgive you now. Anyway, if I go again, I won't be stopped, right?"

"No, never." Atobe wanted to say something, but didn't speak again.Maybe tell her later and claim credit for it.Anyway, my mother never cared about these things.

"How long has Guan Yue been your stand-in patient, but he hasn't been discovered yet? He's really amazing. I played a match with Suzuki, but I didn't finish it, but I think I'll win if I keep fighting Now the president of the art club has become me, so I'm still pretty good..." Zhizi muttered in a low voice, trying to nagging him to death with trivial thoughts.

But the effect seems not very obvious.

She looked down and saw that Atobu had fallen asleep while leaning against her.Different from usual, he is very quiet at this moment, although he is still a dazzling existence.

Fortunately you are fine.However, how could something happen to Keigo Atobe?So what is she worrying about...

Zhizi squeezed his face and kissed him on the forehead.
