afternoon sun

I won't participate." After saying that, he ran out of Echizen Ryoma's classroom without looking back.

Only Horio, who had been silent all this time, murmured after Tomika ran out of the classroom, "I saw that the gift from Oda was also a tennis ball." But as soon as he said the words, Katsuro and Katsuo who were standing by the side covered him mouthed.The suffocated Horio almost had a feeling of 'I'm so close to heaven'

The party at night did not lose its laughter because of Pengxiang, but it was much quieter than before.

The seniors were still arguing with each other, but only Sakura felt a deep unknown depth in her heart.

On the second day, Pengxiang did not come to class on the pretext of having a cold.So after school, only Sakura came to the tennis club to watch Ryoma play, and felt a little lonely suddenly without Tomika's cheers around her.

Ryoma, who was hitting the ball on the tennis court, saw Sakurano's silent expression at this time, and couldn't help showing a trace of worry on his face.

The Horio trio who were also on the tennis court sighed in unison after seeing Sakurano's expression, and then Horio said, "Echizen and Ryuzaki probably don't know, but Kosakata also likes Echizen very much." "

This sentence was just heard by Sakurano Ryuzaki standing at the entrance of the tennis court, and her heart was deeply touched.

It turns out that Kosakata likes Echizen...

It turns out that she likes Mr. Longma...

She likes Mr. Long Ma...

.........

It turns out that Xiaopeng, like her, has always liked Mr. Longma...

Part14

On the night when Tomoka didn't come to school, Ryuzaki Sakura sat alone in front of the window sill and thought about a lot of things.

For a long time, no matter what kind of things have happened, Tomoka has always been by her side, accompanying her in her unique way. Although the problems she faces cannot be solved quickly, at least it will make Sakura feel that there is a Friends are going with her to face it.But this was the only thing that made Sakura feel powerless for the first time.

Ryuzaki Sakura sighed deeply, then changed the original posture of holding his head, and turned to lie on the desk.

The first time I met Tomoka was in the fourth grade of elementary school. At that time, Sakura was an extremely timid girl, so every time after class, there would always be some boring boys who saw Sakura was timid and easy to bully She stepped forward and pulled her hair, and Ying Nao, who was hurt by the pulling, did not dare to speak loudly to them, so she could only bite her lips tightly with tears in her eyes and remained silent.At that time, in Sakurano's class, none of the students got up from their seats to help her.

It seems that everyone is ignoring this scene.

But all this changed when Pengxiang transferred to the school.

Sakura will always remember that when she was pulled by a boy by her hair again, Tomoka pushed her chair away, strode up to the boy, and yelled at the boy who was a head taller than her: "I won't allow you to bully me!" girl!"

The boy was stunned for a few seconds, then laughed, and taunted Pengxiang, "Is it up to you? Haha, you little man, go and go, don't meddle in your own business."

At that time, Sakura thought that the girl who dared to yell at the boy would give up and return to her seat silently, but even so, she was already very grateful to her.

However, unexpectedly, the girl then used all her strength to push the boy who was one level taller than her to the ground, then clapped her hands and returned to her seat.The boys who fell to the ground with surprised faces were left behind.

Later, Pengxiang was punished by the teacher to stand for beating a classmate. Sakura felt very sorry, so after school, she also stood outside the teacher's office with Pengxiang.

"That... today's matter is really thank you."

"It's okay, I just can't stand those boys bullying girls."

"Xiao Sakata is very brave today!"

"Of course, oh ha ha ha ha."

In this way, since that incident, the cowardly Ryuzaki Sakura has become friends with Kosakata Tomoka who loves to help others.

Sakura now recalls this scene and still feels very warm, because she doesn't want to lose her good friend Tomika. Everyone has the right to like the person they like. Sakura feels that she has no right to make Tomika feel so sad about Ryoma. .

"Tomorrow, I will definitely go find Tomika." Ryuzaki Sakura secretly swore.

On the other side of Tokyo, Tomoka Kosakata was also lying on her desk.

'I didn't go to school today, I don't know if Sakura is angry? '

'I'm going to school tomorrow, I don't know what Sakurano will think of me'

Pengxiang now hates that she couldn't restrain herself and ran out of the classroom, but in fact, she was really sad at that time, so what if she chose to stay?

Ryoma SAMA may only like Sakurano!

Ryoma SAMA...has always been with Sakurano!

So if I did this that day, would it cause them some trouble?

"Oh, I'm so dead." Pengxiang jumped up from the seat and beat her head hard.

"Tomorrow, I must apologize to Sakurano." Kosakata Tomika also swore secretly.

Part15

After Christmas, the clubs of the Youth Academy do not have to report in the cold every day. Because the weather is getting colder and colder, most of the students rush into the classroom by stepping on the class bell and then desperately sit in their seats. on panting.It looked like he had just finished a marathon.Very funny.

Ryuzaki Sakura stood alone at the gate of Qinggaku, looking at the boys and girls who walked into the school without interruption, with more or less smiles on their faces, some girls wearing winter school uniforms Are you still discussing what to get for Christmas?How does the gift make you like it and so on.He looked very happy and content.

Sakura tightly wrapped the collar of her school uniform to prevent too much cold wind from blowing into her neck. By the way, she rubbed her red hands that were frozen because she forgot to wear gloves in the morning.She woke up very early today, just to meet Pengxiang at the school gate, and then sincerely apologize to her.However, I don't know if it's because I came too early?Peng Xiang has not yet appeared.

As Sakura thought about it, she felt even colder. This cold feeling was like putting her in a world of ice and snow, and she felt so wronged that she wanted to cry.At this moment, her face was touched by a warm object, and Sakura reflexively let out a soft "Ah", and when she raised her head, she met Tomoka's warm smile.

In fact, Pengxiang came here very early, she could see Ying Nao standing alone in the cold wind and shivering slightly from a long distance, so she thought for a while and then walked to the opposite of Qingxue, where there was a small shop dedicated to To buy hot cocoa, Tomoka thought that Sakura would need these calories now, but unfortunately there were too many people queuing up to buy cocoa, so they couldn't buy it until now.

And Ying Nao was a little surprised when she saw Tomoka, her mind seemed to go blank, and it took a long time to say "Thank you, friend." Then she opened the lid and took a sip of hot cocoa, feeling her body was warmed When I got up, I remembered the purpose of waiting for Tomoka today, so Sakurano lowered her head. She has always had such a habit, she will unconsciously lower her head when she encounters apologies or embarrassing things, "Little friend, I'm sorry." Sakurano said slowly explain.

When Pengxiang saw that Sakura apologized to her first, there was only one sentence left in her mind, "No, no, I was the one who wanted to apologize to Sakura, how could it be that she apologized to me?" But she also I didn't think too much, just imitated Sakura and bowed her head and said, "I'm sorry, Sakura."

Then the two of them stood at the school gate, the one on the left was sorry, the one on the right was sorry, and finally saw that the two of them were about to start class before they looked up, looked at each other twice and laughed in unison.Then Tomoka patted Sakurano on the shoulder and said, "Let's go in, otherwise people will think we are sick."

Sakura then smiled shyly and said, "Okay." She thought it would be great to be like Tomoka.

When the two of them entered with a smile, they happened to run into Echizen Ryoma who was still yawning, wearing a thick winter school uniform, and with slightly disheveled hair.After seeing Echizen Ryoma, Tomoka suddenly remembered the embarrassment on Christmas Day. She unconsciously turned her face to one side, instead of surrounding Ryoma and saying, "Good morning, Ryoma SAMA!" "Ryoma SAMA, the weather is very nice today!" These words, and after seeing Tomoka's reaction, Sakura just said softly, "Ryoma-kun, good morning."

Echizen Ryoma looked at Sakurano and Tomika for a few seconds and seemed to understand something. He lowered the hat on his head, "Good morning!"

Then the three of them ran to the teaching building and returned to their classrooms.

Part16

The afternoon school bell at the Youth Academy is a kind of liberation for all students, because they can finally not have to stay in the heated classrooms that the school never lets open.But for those third-year students, the school bell heralds the coming evening self-study.

So when Momoshiro-senpai rushed to Ryoma's classroom after school, he pulled up Ryoma and ran away, yelling "Echizen, let me tell you, I learned a new tennis technique again, and I skipped class this time. I called to show you!" At that time, Echizen Ryoma could only sigh helplessly and said, "Obviously it's Momo-senpai, you want to show off."

Sakura and Tomoka were packing their schoolbags. Tomoka kept looking at the ceiling because she wanted to see through the third classroom on the ceiling, and then waved to Sakura who was next to her, "Sakura, ah
