A secluded mountain forest.

A simple and elegant residential house stands quietly on the open flat ground, with a dense bamboo forest in front of the house and surrounded by deep mountains.

The young man was lazily lying on the roof of the bamboo house, holding a list in his hand, his amber eyes rested for a long time on a name he was very familiar with on the list, and the corners of his slightly upturned lips showed a trace of unrestrained freedom.

Finally, is it coming?

With a light release of the hand, the paper fluttered up and down with the wind, reflecting the twilight of the morning, and finally fell on the ground, with a slightly soft color.

Under the rays of the sun, he turned his gaze to the black card that was sent along with the list, which was put aside. The noble golden font was dazzling and flamboyant under the light, making it extremely powerful.

Picking up the precious card that represented too many meanings, those deep and dangerous eyes seemed to appear in front of his eyes, powerful and mysterious.

"terrible people,"

There was faint fear in his eyes, and the young man muttered thoughtfully, "Fortunately, he is not considered an enemy."

America, in a Japanese garden.

"there's one more thing,"

The man in suit and leather shoes suddenly became nervous. He looked at the shrewd woman in front of him, took out a beautifully crafted invitation letter from his bag, and said carefully, "The association very much hopes that Miss Yuan can attend this meeting, and the time will be next. weekend."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Nemo, the lady just came back from a long distance, and she doesn't see any guests as usual, and she won't participate in any activities. Therefore,"

The woman directly rejected the man's request without any leeway, and her tone was a bit forceful, "I'm afraid you will come back disappointed." "Well, that's it."

Sighing heavily, the man nodded hesitantly, turned around and walked out, "Excuse me."

Seeing the man leave, the woman thought for a while and walked towards the backyard.

Holding a sword, the girl stared intently at the wooden stake in front of her. Her waist-length hair matched her cold face, giving her a kind of incomparable excellence.

The sound of "da da" clogs flashed from the corner, and the woman bowed slightly respectfully, "Miss."

Then there was a long silence, the girl held her breath, and after a while, she made a light leap, and the sword edge slashed down from the top of the stake without a sound.

"Kara."

A thin imperceptible crack appeared from the center of the stake, and gradually expanded until it reached the end.

"Snapped!"

Instead of looking at the broken pieces of wood, the girl held the hilt of the sword, her voice was as cold as falling snow, "What's the matter?"

"According to your instructions, after the previous information was disseminated, it really attracted the attention of Japan. Mr. Nemo of the association said that after receiving the information, the Japanese side will send out an invitation in a few days."

The woman paused, and then said, "Mr. Nemo wants to invite you to the meeting next weekend, but he has declined for you."

"Ah."

Putting away the sword, the girl's plain kimono glowed with the light reflected from the sword light, carrying a cold aura.

"But miss, didn't that gentleman say to block all the information? Will this anger him?"

After hesitating again and again, the woman ventured to ask out the doubts in her heart, and what she got was the girl's cold and happy answer, "Oh, let's not say that this is what he meant, even if it wasn't, so what, I was just helping her make the right choice,"

Walking past the woman, the young girl's tone revealed longing that had been dormant for a long time.

"She's been quiet for too long, and I can't wait."

Airport.At the airport where people come and go, two teenagers stand against the wall. One of them looks at the exit from time to time with anxious eyes, while the other lazily whistles and looks around.

"Why hasn't it come out yet? Isn't it this flight?"

The anxious young man frowned, with anxiety flashing across his eyes, "Nothing will happen."

"I said, your sister fetish is too serious. It's quite normal at ordinary times. How come you become such a mother-in-law once you get into your sister?"

The whistling boy stopped looking around, and teased his friend who was obsessed with sisters, "Isn't it because I took a plane by myself, and it's not like I haven't been to Japan. Can she be thrown away at her age?"

"Please! Since I was a child, I have been protecting her almost every step of the way. There was only one time when I left and let her go on a long trip by herself, and I almost lost my sister. This time I let her act alone again, how could I do not worry."

Anxiously, Lianmei recalled the old things wildly, and she still had lingering fear on her face, and the young man who was watching couldn't stop shaking her head speechlessly.

"You protect her so tightly, who would dare to marry her against your fierce gaze in the future!"

"Cut! Let's not talk about whether there is anyone who can match my unique good sister. Even if there is, he has to go through all kinds of difficulties and go through a hundred and eight difficulties I set up to win the qualification to stand by my sister and protect her for me." ah!"

"You! It's outrageous!"

Hearing these words, the young man was speechless, really, there was no way out.

"elder brother!"

The two were talking, but suddenly there was a clear voice behind them. Following the sound, a pretty girl was running towards them with a bright smile, dragging a box.

"You're finally here, and you're about to kill him."

The lazy boy raised a faint smile on his face, and glanced at someone who had just put his mind down.

"Is the journey going well?"

"Well, everything is OK!"

The girl gave her brother a reassuring smile, and turned to the boy beside her, "I didn't expect you to come to Japan even though your whereabouts were uncertain, and you even made a special trip to pick me up. This really doesn't fit your super lazy personality."

"How about it, don't you feel honored?" The young ruffian's words only attracted a chuckle from a pair of siblings beside him.

"Yes, it's an honor."

The girl thumped the boy's shoulder familiarly, with a smile on her face as if reunited after a long absence,

"Long time no see, Long Ya."

The weather was beautiful, the weather on the day of the regional preliminaries was exceptionally clear, and the sports park was crowded with tennis fans and members from various schools who came to watch the match. Sakura looked at the time and quickened her pace. The match should have already started. It's been a while.

"Opening and closing!"

In the distance, a loud roar was heard from the venue, Ying Nao smiled a little dazedly when she heard the somewhat familiar voice and the surrounding discussions.

This is their tactic?

Seeing the situation on the field, Ying Nao, who managed to squeeze in front of the net, was slightly stunned, dumbfounded, really, very interesting.

There is no doubt about the singles abilities of Echizen and Momoshiro, but when two strong players come together to play doubles, it is inevitable that there will be constant own-goal incidents such as racket collisions in order to fight for the right to return the ball. No matter how strong they are, the contradictions on their own side alone are enough for them to suffer.

In order to deal with this problem, the Echizen two seem to have spent a lot of effort and worked out this "opening and closing" tactic, and decided who to return the ball when calling out instructions in turn.

But the problem is that it is still very effective to use this tactic in the midfield with a relatively balanced distance, but on both sides, the two people who seem to be eager to hunt only have the ball in their eyes, completely forgetting this imperfect strategy rule.

"Sakura no-chan!"

The sharp-eyed Eiji caught a glimpse of Sakura standing in front of the fence in surprise, waved his hands, and trotted over, "You're here!" "Well, what's going on now? What are they doing?"

Responding with a smile, Sakurano couldn't help deepening the smile in Eiji's eyes as she looked at the field with disgust.

"Hey. Who knows, the two of them are playing singles, but they insist on mixing up doubles."

Eiji made a grimace, "The 'opening and closing' tactic was a bit effective at first, but now,"

Ying Nao naturally understood what he meant after he paused, and couldn't help but smile, "After all, the tacit understanding is not very good, but it may not be a good understanding, for the singles of the two of them."

"Eh?"

Eiji wanted to say something, but saw Ryuzaki's eye knife from the air, and hurried back shivering, "I'm sorry, Sakurano-chan, I have to go back and prepare to warm up, wait for our good news!"

Smiling as Eiji slid back in a panic, Sakurano's eyes fell on Echizen and Momoshiro, who had started arguing on the field due to various frictions and incomprehensions.

Surrounded by the joke-like sarcasm of the people around her, she smiled as if she didn't hear it, and her soft and interested eyes always flashed in her eyes.

"What are those two people doing? Could it be that they don't want to play?" Surrounded by discussions, Sakura looked at the Echizen duo who seemed to divide one court into two parts because of anger. Li smiled deeply, and he understood the intentions of the two of them in an instant.

Divide the field equally, keep their own territory, and do not invade each other. You don’t have to worry about own-goal collisions due to scrambling for the return ball. You can play singles without distractions, and when the return ball points to the only possible conflict between the two. At this time, their previous "opening and closing" tactics will play a role again. Fundamentally speaking, it is really a complete two-person singles.

Smiling helplessly and turning around, Sakura shook her head and walked to the side, the outcome has been decided.

"Hey! Can I take a picture? My beautiful princess."

Sakura, who was sitting quietly by the fountain thinking about something, suddenly heard a clear and beautiful voice, she turned her head suddenly, and with the sound of the camera shutter sounding at the right time, what imprinted in her eyes was a picture that she hadn't seen for a long time since the beginning of school. With a pretty face, "Sister Naliang!"

"Ha! Sakura, we meet again!"

Nagasaki Naruto hugged Sakura who stood up with a bright smile, even her eyes were filled with joy, "It's nice to see you!"

"Sister Naliang, why did you come to Japan?"

Ying Nao gently withdrew from Naliang's arms, which was a head taller than her, with a smile on her lips, her eyes brightened, "Are you alone?"

"How is it possible! You can guess that my stupid old brother must be with me! It's just that he said he wants to hang around in the stadium, but he doesn't know where he is."

Nai Liang curled her lips, and she was full of helplessness when she mentioned her brother who protected her well, "And Long Ya, I heard that you have met him, but he didn't come out with us today."

"That's it." Sakura nodded understandingly, looked at the time, and signaled Naliang to walk towards the competition venue together, "When did you arrive? Where did you settle?"

"It's only a few days! As for where to stay."

Naliang blinked mysteriously, playful and beautiful, she leaned into Sakurano's ear and said a place name, and successfully saw a look of surprise on the face of the girl in front of her. "In the mountains?"

"Hmm! It's the foothold set by Teacher Baichuan here."

Naryo happily danced on tiptoe.

"He's here too, but he arrived earlier than us."

"Grandpa Baichuan is here?"

Sakura frowned, as if smelling some conspiracy, "You all came to Japan in groups, what are you going to do that is earth-shattering?"

"Hey, that's it. The 'Japan-US Friendship League' will be held in a while, you know. It is a grand tennis event between the two countries jointly held by the tennis associations of Japan and the United States. It will bring together elite players from all sides and group them according to age. Don't compete."

"Before the start of the friendship league, the two countries need to start their own selection of league players. This is undoubtedly another competition."

Seeing Sakura nod her head, Nai Liang coughed lightly and spoke seriously.

"The selection of the United States has ended, and my brother and I are both members of the American team. Part of the reason for coming to Japan this time is to observe the Japanese league primary selection and compare the differences between the two countries."

"On the other hand, hehe,"

Taking a closer look at Sakura Nao's calm and smiling face, Nai Liang pursed her lips and spoke.

"It's for you!"
