"He's your head after all — oh, no.
Coach Tezuka — he looks very harsh, "Qieyuan said to Longma while rubbing his chin.
"Isn't Rukawa senpai the same?" Longma hit the nail on the head.
Qieyuan gulped and glanced at Rukawa Sakura beside Tezuka.
Speechless.
"From the grouping, after disassembling Qing Xue's Golden Partners,
And disassembling Hyotei's team — "
"Looks like both teams will be difficult to fight."
On the field, Dashi and Minato were going to fight against Kikumaru and Phoenix.
"What do you think, Echizen?" Taocheng asked Longma.
"That's his style," Longma commented.
Rukawa Sakura pursed her lips and looked down at her notebook.
"Sakura —" Tezuka turned around.
"Take notes seriously."
Rukawa Sakura pursed her lips.
She turned a page in her notebook.
She looked up at the sky.
Wasn't she reading a novel that only wrote two words when she had nothing to do?
After coming here, she "worked like a horse" and didn't have time to write anything. The editor must be urging her again.
Tezuka Kunimitsu, did you use your X-ray vision on my notebook or peek into my thoughts?
Rukawa Sakura was depressed.
Tezuka pursed his lips slightly.
You black-bellied iceberg!
Rukawa Sakura clenched the pen in her hand.
When did it become like this!
"Kikumaru and Phoenix win!"
Rukawa Sakura tapped on her notebook with her pen. She was having a good time playing!
Sure enough, she preferred to watch a more relaxed game.
Seeing how energetic Kikumaru was today, she was happy for him.
It was a very interesting game. It looked like their coach Tezuka had arranged it well.
Rukawa Sakura stretched her body and walked toward the kitchen.
I really want to eat Chinese food today!
Oh my!
It was happily decided!
"Ying.
Notes, "Tezuka said.
"Got it.
Got it.
I've recorded it well, okay?!
Here! "Rukawa Sakura threw her folder to Tezuka.
"I'm hungry.
I'm going to eat. Don't look for me. I'm off work, Mr. Coach! "
"Eel tea," Tezuka added calmly after receiving the folder.
"How troublesome!" Rukawa Sakura muttered, but she didn't refuse.
Tezuka pursed his lips and smiled.
Flipping open the notebook, he saw that Kikumaru's name was circled.
It seemed that Kikumaru's performance today had convinced Sakura.
In fact,
He also thought highly of Kikumaru.
Kikamaru has really grown up and has become a doubles player who can take charge of a team by himself.
Tezuka looked at the Long Qi group list in his hand, his face calm.
Rukawa Sakura walked to Tezuka's side and put down a cup of tea. "What's the matter?
Are you thinking about the list? "
Tezuka nodded and put the list on the table.
"I saw Longma go out just now. Why was he looking for you?"
Tezuka raised his head and looked at Rukawa Sakura. "Do you think Echizen —"
Rukawa Sakura smiled. "The list of nominees?
You shouldn't ask me that. "
"What do you think?" Tezuka saw that she guessed what he meant, so he asked.
"You should think about such brain-damaging things yourself.
Don't drag me into it. "Rukawa Sakura expressed that she didn't want to be involved in this topic.
Tezuka rubbed his eyebrows.
"Alright, let's go eat.
I made dinner. "Rukawa Sakura patted Tezuka on the shoulder and said.
Tezuka's lips curled up slightly.
The next morning, when Tezuka returned from outside, Rukawa Sakura had prepared breakfast and was waiting for him.
"Good morning." Tezuka pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Good morning.
Did you go out for a run? "Rukawa Sakura asked.
"Just taking a walk." Tezuka picked up his chopsticks. "I bumped into Echizen."
"Really …" Rukawa Sakura said helplessly. "You're almost a psychiatrist."
Tezuka raised his eyebrows. How did you know?
Rukawa Sakura smiled. I just know.
Tezuka wasn't the only one who could see Echizen's state. Rukawa Sakura also knew that he wasn't in the right state.
Small Laminaria was filled with energy, but Echizen was listless. There was no highlight since the start of the training.
The result was not bad, but that didn't mean anything.
Pride stopped people from moving forward, didn't it?
Rukawa Sakura knew that Tachikaidai had their reservations about this selection.
Sanada had fought Atobe to catch up to Tezuka, so he was filled with fighting spirit.
Small Laminaria had always been like that. Now that they had overcome the demonization, their fighting spirit burned even brighter.
As for the others, they didn't care.
After a day of training, Rukawa Sakura followed behind Tezuka and didn't leave immediately.
"Mr. Inoue from the tennis magazine is here, and he brought some bad news."
Tezuka turned to Rukawa Sakura.
"The captain of America's representative team, Kempin Smith, has challenged all the tennis clubs in Tokyo over the past two days. Qing Xue, Motionless Peak, St. Rudolph, and Yamaguchi, none of them were spared. He specifically challenged Echizen Longma.
According to rumors, his father was defeated by Longma's father, Echizen Nanjiro. He's taking revenge on his father's behalf. He wants to get back at Longma. "
Tezuka frowned and was silent.
"The name list should be out today, right?
Have you thought about it? "
"Yes," Tezuka answered expressionlessly.
Rukawa Sakura shrugged. "Then you can take your time to think about it. There's nothing else for me to do."
"Wait a minute, Sakura." Tezuka stopped her.
"What is it?"
"No …" Tezuka shook his head. "I'm going to a meeting. You can go back first."
Rukawa Sakura looked at him in confusion.
At night, Rukawa Sakura hummed a song and made snacks alone in the kitchen.
Tezuka came back from the meeting and stopped in the cafeteria when he passed by.
Quietly looking at the girl who was busy in the kitchen, Tezuka stood outside the door and stared at her without returning to his senses.
Rukawa Sakura took out the finished cake from the oven and placed it on the table with a faint smile.
Tezuka suddenly felt very warm.
Rukawa Sakura seemed to feel a gaze on her. This was the intuition of someone who had practiced martial arts, or rather, a woman's intuition. She looked up and saw Tezuka outside the door.
"Kunimitsu, do you want some snacks?
I just finished making them. They're still warm. "Rukawa Sakura smiled at him and invited him.
Tezuka walked in, but he didn't sit down. He went straight into the kitchen.
"I didn't add cream. There doesn't seem to be cream here, but I added some raisins and nuts. Try it." Rukawa Sakura smiled at him.
"You can't live without snacks. But the conditions are limited, so this is the only way.
Shinichiro also said that it tastes good. You should like it too. "
Tezuka picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
"How is it?
Is it okay? "
Tezuka nodded.
"Really, you've become more and more silent recently. You weren't like this before.
Did you come back from Germany with a language barrier? "
"Sakura –"
"Hey, hey, I was wrong.
Forgive me, Coach Tezuka. "
"Hey, Echizen –" Taocheng snickered outside the cafeteria.
"What, Momo-senpai?"
"There's something going on between the minister and Rukawa -senpai!"
"Tch –"
Taocheng rubbed Echizen's head hard. "Really!
Children don't understand at all! "
"Momo, what are you doing?" Kikumaru threw himself onto Taocheng's back.
"Kikumaru -senpai – quiet, quiet!" Taocheng emphasized while bearing Kikumaru's weight.
"Clang –" Qian's glasses lit up, looking particularly scary in the dark.
"Wow – Qian!
Why are you here?
Don't scare me, okay? "Kikumaru jumped up.
"Because I saw Kikumaru -senpai coming to the cafeteria to steal food, so I followed you here." Echizen looked at the ceiling and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Little one!" Kikumaru threw himself at him.
"Little one, are you and Momo here to steal food too?"
"Tch, I won't!" Echizen curled his lips.
"Of course not!
I saw Momo staring at Qieyuan for a long time! "
"Kikumaru -senpai, you are the one!"
Echizen's head hurt. Seniors, don't say it out loud!
You actually admitted it just like that – I've been drooling over Rukawa -senpai's food for a long time!
I've been envious of that kelp head for a long time!
How embarrassing!
I won't admit it!
But speaking of which – why is Rukawa -senpai Tachikaidai?
He even specially made desserts for that kelp head!
Qian stared at the two people in the cafeteria, his pen moving swiftly as he took notes. A strange smile appeared on his face.
Echizen felt a chill down his spine – every time he saw Qian smile like that, nothing good would happen!
"Will we also have desserts to eat in the future?" Kikumaru smiled slyly.
"Good luck, minister!" Taocheng also smiled slyly. "Youth, youth!
Minister, you're also at this age! "
"Hehe ~ Minister's wife ~" Kikumaru and Taocheng looked at each other and smiled.
Echizen blushed and pulled down his hat. "Minister … mada?
mada
Dane … "
"Peeping outside the door – 20 laps!" Rukawa Sakura shouted at the people outside the door with her hands on her hips.
"What!" Everyone jumped up.
"Hmm?
Do you have any objections? "Rukawa Sakura narrowed her eyes and smiled at everyone.
Everyone shook their heads in unison, shaking their heads in unison.
"Kunimitsu, what do you say?" Rukawa Sakura turned to look at Tezuka.
"Cough – 30 laps, immediately!"
– Minister!
We were wrong about you!
– Minister!
So you're a henpecked husband!
– Minister!
You value your lover over your friends!
– Minister!
You're still mada?
mada
dane！
The next day was the end of the training.
Rukawa Sakura watched.
Moto breathed a sigh of relief after his duel with Godtail ended.
Fortunately, the training didn't last long. Otherwise, Kaede Rukawa would definitely be staring at her with hidden bitterness for several days. His younger sister had promised to watch his competition!
Although she didn't say it out loud, she still cared about it.
Fortunately, she could still make it in time to watch one or two matches. It would be unforgivable if she didn't show up at all.
At least, if she went, Kaede Rukawa wouldn't have anything to say. Even if he did, he could easily suppress him.
"Alright, that's all for today's training.
One hour later, we'll have the disbandment ceremony and announce the name list of the selected teams.
Pack your luggage. Don't be late. "Tezuka stood up from the instructor's seat and said this.
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
Rukawa Sakura walked back to her dorm room with a folder in her hand.
"Sakura."
"Mm?" Rukawa Sakura turned around. "Is there anything else?"
"No. I just wanted to ask.
I just want to ask, are you going home? "Tezuka pushed on his glasses.
"No, I'm going to stay in Tokyo for a while. The national basketball tournament is in July. I'm going to watch my brother's competition."
"Then, where are you staying?"
"Do you even need to ask?
Of course, it's your home.
Auntie Caicai told me a long time ago. She's going to watch the basketball tournament with me. "
"I see …"
"What's going on?
You're so weird, Kunimitsu. "
"It's nothing. You should go back and pack your luggage."
"Then, I'll help you pack your luggage. Go do your thing. I'll wait for you. Let's go back together."
Tezuka smiled lightly. "Okay.
Let's go together. "
Tezuka, Coach Godhead, and Coach Hanamura gathered at the gymnasium. Before everyone, Coach Godhead finally announced the name list of the selected teams.
Atobe Keigo, Sanada Senichiro, Shinobu Youshi, Kikumaru Eiji, Chiishi Seiji, Qieyuan Akaya, Bu Er, and Zhou Zhu.
There was no Longma Echizen.
Rukawa Sakura carried her luggage and Tezuka's luggage and boarded Qing Xue's bus, waiting for everyone to come out.
"Sakura?" Kikumaru was the first to jump forward.
"Hmm?
It's Rukawa? "
"Why is Rukawa Senpai here?"
"Hi, everyone!
I'm going to stay in Tokyo for a while, so I came to hitch a ride. "Rukawa Sakura escaped from Kikumaru's grasp and greeted everyone with a smile.
"Good, good!
Sakura, I've been selected!
You have to come and watch my competition! "Kikumaru said excitedly.
"Of course, I've been training with everyone, so I'll definitely be there.
Eiji, I'll help you shoot the video. I just bought a DSLR camera online, and this is the first time I'm giving it to you. "
"Sakura, you're the best!"
Tezuka walked onto the bus, and a smile crossed his eyes.
Bu Er nudged Tezuka from behind. "Sakura, why don't you sit with Tezuka?"
Rukawa Sakura smiled. She did not mind Bu Er's arrangement. Compared to the others, she was more willing to sit with Tezuka.
"Okay."
Rukawa Sakura sat next to the window, and Tezuka sat next to the aisle.
The car was on the way to downtown Tokyo.
Rukawa Sakura rolled down the window a little, squinted her eyes, and enjoyed the breeze.
Tezuka knew that she did not like small and enclosed spaces, and had mild symptoms of motion sickness. The shaking of the bus would make her stomach uncomfortable, and compared to the air-conditioning in the bus, she preferred the breeze.
When she was young, she was very carsick. After she grew up, she was much better, but she still felt a little uncomfortable when sitting in a bus.
"If you're not feeling well, sleep for a while. It's still a long way to Tokyo." Tezuka took off his sportswear and put it on her.
With the air-conditioning and the wind, she would catch a cold even in summer.
Rukawa Sakura was stunned. "I'm fine.
But I'll take a nap first. Wake me up when we arrive. "
"Sleep for a while.
I'll wake you up. "
Rukawa Sakura smiled, wrapped Tezuka's jacket around her, and curled up on the seat, closing her eyes.
Tezuka watched her fall asleep and turned his head, studying the training records of the past few days in his hands.
Halfway through the journey, Tezuka felt a weight on his shoulders.
Tezuka turned his head and looked at Rukawa Sakura's face in a daze for a long time.
After the training ended, she let down her hair, and now her long black hair spread over his shoulders.
The wind through the window blew a few strands of hair, which brushed across his face, and a sweet fragrance slipped through the tip of his nose.
Tezuka adjusted his shoulders to let her sleep more comfortably, and pursed his lips into a smile.
The author has something to say:
Sprinkling flowers … It wasn't easy to finish this chapter, and I'm really stuck.
This chapter took me four days to write, and every day I wrote from a few crosses to a few thousand words.
From now on, I'll enter into an ambiguous period with Tezuka, can I?
(Of course!)
↑ You're finally starting to move!
I thought I'd never see this day until the day I died!
↑ Upstairs, do you think it's easy to enlighten the minister?
↑ I want to persuade you to change to BL, I really wonder if it's BG.
