The end of summer, as if afraid that people will forget it, is a bit abnormally hot.And this anomaly also made Bingdi's classmates feel dull that could not be ignored.

Ice Emperor lost.

The opponent is Youth Academy.

That was the first time Xiangxiang saw the real Echizen Ryoma.Xiaowei pointed to the boy who was playing against Rijiruo on the field, wearing a peaked cap and whose expression could not be seen clearly, and said that that was his neighbor, Xu Fei's own son.

I don't know how exciting the game is, but I do know how dangerous it is.For the first time, I saw Rijiruo look so decadent and unwilling.It was also the first time I saw Keigo Atobe so mercilessly serious.

The game was lost, and Hijiruo also lost.Ice Emperor lost to Youth Academy, a school that was not favored before.

Xiao Wei sighed, and sucked the yogurt in her hand sullenly. She has become more and more irritable recently, especially that kid who won the game came to her in front of her, she really wanted to pull that guy out and let him stand Go jumping on the street by yourself.He almost flew like that.

Obviously outside, she has always shown that the clothes are self-contained and not flat, why when she comes to her, all kinds of pictures are messed up, and her mind is as small as a pinhole.Are you looking like a man?

Well... he's still a boy.

"Hey...I always feel like I'm really sorry for Hijiruo!"

"Then what should we do? Do you want to apologize by caesarean section?"

Xiao Wei's mouth twitched, and she just sighed with emotion, hearing Cao Wei's tone, it seemed that she had become a sinner through the ages, "Didn't I think that dead child is also my half brother, it made him lose the game, I'm sorry. "

"You're back alive..." Cao Wei wiped her mouth and cleaned up her lunch. "There are rules in the game. If you lose, you lose. Your childhood sweetheart is strong. If you win, you win. Riji If you can't even figure this out, how can you fight with me, how can you compete with Xuan Yilang."

"...Cao Wei, we are talking about tennis now, don't talk about swordsmanship. Besides, Ah Ruo and his family are ancient martial arts." Xiangxiang helplessly supported her forehead, Cao Wei's thinking was always jumping, and unfamiliar people couldn't follow at all. superior.

"It's all the same! Mmm! Same!!"

"Okay, it's the same." Xiangxiang didn't bother to worry about this, he looked at Xiaowei, a little serious, "However, Cao Wei is right, winning is winning, and losing is losing. Ah Ruo and the others The first loss is mostly due to complacency underestimating the enemy, and it is a good thing to lose earlier, and the opponents behind will pay attention to it. Besides, Ice Empress is the organizer, even if you lose the ticket, it will not affect the overall situation."

"It's not very comfortable anyway." Xiao Wei was still a little depressed, "This summer is the last summer of Atobe's third grade, and it would be a pity if they lose..."

"It's true, this time next year, maybe they won't be so free."

Involuntarily, Xiangxiang thought silently in her heart.As an heir cultivated by the elite, there is not much time to be happy and free, and this summer may be the only time to allow yourself to pursue your dreams.It's not just them, Xiangxiang thought, in fact, the three of them are also the same.

The love and care of parents and elders is pity for them.They are not really teenagers who don't understand anything. Sometimes the more they know, the more they will lose those things earlier than others.

However, willingly shouldering the burden of responsibility makes Xiangxiang feel satisfied. She wants to protect her family with her own hands and do her best to bring happiness to those around her.

Therefore, in the days after Bingdi's defeat, Xiangxiang deliberately avoided Rijiruo and some familiar people in the tennis club.She thought, at this time, they should actually give them more space, whether it is wounds or venting, they should bear them alone.Maybe when we meet occasionally, we can tell jokes and give some small encouragement, but don't treat them as the protagonists of tragedy to comfort them.

They don't need it. The process of growing up is to learn a shortcut to success from constant failures.

Besides, it was really just a minor failure.

On the campus after school, the sunset glow reddened the entire sky.The days in summer are long, so when the club activities are over, the sun hanging in the sky has not completely set.In the afterglow of the setting sun, the earth looked as if it had been coated with a layer of golden light from a distance.

Xiangxiang leaned against a tree by the side of the road. This road is the only way for the tennis club. This time is very close to the end of club activities.Xiangxiang wears earphones, and the thin black line runs along the light-colored school uniform in summer to the hand that hangs casually on the right, and hums softly along with the shallow melody in her ears.

The sound of the music in the ear is turned on very small, so the movement of the outside world can be easily heard.So, when Xiangxiang heard the sound of footsteps, she took off the earphones naturally, turned her head to look over, and sure enough saw the person coming, Rijiruo.

Xiangxiang raised her hand and shook it at the young man who was walking in the distance, "Ah Ruo."

The young man walked over slowly amidst the greenery, his team uniform was fresh and smelled like after washing, a faint scent of lemongrass.

"Wait for a long time?"

"That's not true, our club has just ended." Xiangxiang smiled and said to Rijiruo who had already walked in, and put away the ear wires, "I'm going to disturb auntie today."

"Well. I'll take you back later."

"it is good."

Every once in a while, Xiangxiang goes back to Hiyoshi's house for tea ceremony and illustration classes.Hijiruo's mother is a very famous tea ceremony master, and she also has a little involvement in illustrations.It is very difficult to invite her to be a teacher, not to mention that Xiangxiang is not teaching as a disciple, but a girl from a big family, so she needs to know more or less.Xiangxiang started very late, she didn't start until she was in junior high school. Compared with kendo, Xiangxiang doesn't dislike these quiet things much.

"Have you been training hard?"

"Well, it's been hard recently."

"Hmm...it seems so. Even the off-court support team seems to be banned." Xiangxiang thought about the disappointment of her female classmates recently, "But, looking at you, are you all right? "

"..." Rijiruo paused, even the steps of his feet paused for a moment, "Well, it's all right now."

"Ah Ruo, you will not be reconciled."

Rijiruo didn't answer, and Xiangxiang didn't seem to need his answer, so he went straight on.

"I, after so many people have said words of encouragement and worry to Ah Ruo, but I have not said anything, will you blame me?"

"..."

"Hehe, I guess you won't. In fact, I don't think Ah Ruo is a person who can be defeated after a single failure. The Riji Ruo I know is a promising person who will shout 'up and down' from no one knows when. Good boy. So, I just need to give you time. You see, I gave you all the time I used to comfort you for free. So, not only should you not blame me, but you should also thank me, right?"

"...It's really nonsensical. But," Rijiruo raised his head and looked at the setting sun not far away, "I have received your trust."

If Hiji thought, maybe the former self really wanted to hear the words of comfort from the familiar girl in front of him. After all, so many people, whether they knew him or not, would come to say a few words of comfort when they saw him.But she was the only one who greeted him almost normally every time she saw him, and the feeling of being ignored did rise over time.Now that I think about it, I am really immature, and the self who always shouts "up and down" is actually reminding myself like this because of uncertainty.

Sure enough, the current self is not as mature as she looks.Occasionally, I still worry about these childish things.Failure is just a necessary path. It may be other things if it is not tennis. People cannot guarantee that they will not fail or make mistakes in their whole life.So, what's so frustrating about these things, what's there to worry about.

It's as natural as people need to breathe and fish need to swim in the water.

Are you trying to tell me that?Kakashi Fujiwara.

Xiangxiang didn't really think as much as Rijiruo thought in her heart, but for her, no matter how big things are, she can be calm and right. People who have experienced life and death take these things lightly.

Therefore, she, Xiaowei, and Cao Wei are always able to persevere more than ordinary people, and also have more insight than ordinary people.

Evening classes did not last long.After completing a fairly satisfactory illustration, Xiangxiang left.Rijiruo still sends Xiangxiang home.

In fact, if it is said to be delivered, it is only delivered to the door.Although it wasn't too late, the sky was dark after all.Xiangxiang got into the car of Fujiwara's house and slowly drove away from the gate of Hiyoshi's house.

Rijiruo stood where he was, silently watching the car going away, and his thoughts were rarely calmed down.It seems that the troubles of those days have all dissipated between the lips and teeth with the cup of tea in her hand.

It wasn't until he heard footsteps behind him that Rijiruo realized that he seemed to have been standing here for a long time.He turned to look at the person coming, and spoke lightly.

"Mother."

"Ah Ruo has grown up. Do you have someone you like?"

Rijiruo's face was a little red, and her mouth clumsily denied, "It's not. It's just... what she said to me today made me think a lot."

"What?"

"She said, I'm not a person who can be knocked down after one failure, just give me time."

"...Well, a rare good girl. I think so too, Ah Ruo doesn't need to be an ever-victorious general. Life is so long, if there is only one taste, wouldn't it be very monotonous."

The competitions in each district are coming to an end. When Xiangxiang and their IceCream are preparing for the next competition, they accidentally receive the news that Sei Yukimura is hospitalized.This bad news shocked Li Hai and Xuan Yilang.

If it weren't for the unshakeable kendo training every week, Xiangxiang thought that she might not be able to get a little bit of this news from Xuan Yilang.Even in the face of such difficulties, he still bears all the pressure silently.If they didn't know about this, outsiders would have no idea what kind of crisis the Lihai Tennis Club is facing.
