24th of December.
Christmas Eve.
Atobe-sama sat in his castle in London, looking at the child before him with a constipated expression.
Rin Rukawa sat across from Atobe-sama obediently.
Next to him was his own small suitcase.
Atobe-sama glared at Rin Rukawa. He gritted his teeth and looked like he had no choice but to hold it in.
"Atobe-sama …" Rin Rukawa called carefully.
"Humph!" Atobe-sama caressed his mole.
His face was filled with annoyance.
Rin Rukawa glanced at Atobe-sama. After getting a general idea of Atobe-sama's attitude — this was expected, wasn't it?
— he opened his mouth without any pressure. "Brother Tezuka said that it is wrong to disturb other people's relationship."
Did I disturb their relationship?
If not for me,
They wouldn't even know when they would be able to stand together!
Shouldn't they be thanking him?!
— No!
Sir, you're wrong!
It was Ryu, Chuan, and Rin who disturbed them!
Even though Kaede Rukawa had a sister-complex,
It was not that hard to get rid of it.
After all, the amoeba was easy to take care of.
Its survival ability was top notch, and it could be tossed anywhere. It was just for one night — it should be fine, right?
Rukawa Sakura's attitude toward Kaede Rukawa had always been to let him do whatever he wanted.
After all, he did not come home often, and it was easy to take care of him if he stayed with the team!
The team would worry about him; his meals would be taken care of, and his training would be taken care of.
That was enough.
Ever since he joined the Celts,
Even though he had not taken the starting spot,
Be it the coach or his teammates, they knew that this boy from the east had a limitless future, and Kaede Rukawa had been training like his life depended on it.
For once, Rukawa Sakura was heartless and abandoned the tenacious cockroach on Christmas Eve.
Kaede Rukawa was not important; Rukawa Sakura was worried about Rin Rukawa.
Kaede Rukawa was busy playing in the league, and he didn't know how to take care of others.
Tezuka finally had the time to come to America to accompany Rukawa Sakura. Tezuka did not want a third wheel!
Even if it was Rin Rukawa.
Therefore, Atobe had sacrificed himself gloriously.
Atobe was celebrating Christmas in London. He was there to accompany his parents, but …
The current situation was really out of his expectations!
Rin Rukawa expressed that he was also innocent when he was packed up and thrown to the System!
However, if he were to disturb his sister and … brother-in-law … Rin Rukawa looked up at the sky.
Although he was young, he wasn't completely clueless. [Brother Tezuka used to be … very scary … in all seriousness …]
It was better for him to only know half of it. It was better if he didn't know half of it!
Tezuka Kunimitsu!
Actually, you're taking revenge on Uncle Atobe, aren't you?
Such a vengeful person!
Tezuka expressed that he didn't care about the titles like 'Keigo Atobe's girlfriend' or 'Keigo Keigo'!
At that moment, Atobe's phone rang.
Atobe glared angrily at the phone. The name Tezuka Kunimitsu was flashing on the screen.
After a while, he accepted it.
"Hello!
Tezuka! "
"Atobe." The person on the other end was calm.
"Tezuka Kunimitsu, what is the meaning of this?" Atobe raised his brow.
"Please take care of Kobayashi." It was a serious request.
"Why should I help you take care of your children?!" Ultimate Skill: Atobe's Roar.
"Du … du … du …" The call was already hung up.
Atobe's face was green as he gripped the phone tightly.
"Tezuka Kunimitsu!
Good for you!
Just you wait!
You dared to hang up on me!
Heh heh heh heh — are you ready to receive my revenge?
Atobe hissed through gritted teeth.
He turned to look at Rin Rukawa, who was sitting on the sofa but could not help but study Guigai. "Butler!
Take this brat to his room! "
"Yes, young master."
On the streets of New York, Rukawa Sakura accepted the candy from a Santa Claus and smiled.
"Kunimitsu?"
"Yes, I've already informed Atobe."
Tezuka was really just informing Atobe.
God was his witness.
Rukawa Sakura did not know the inside story, but regarding the fact that she had left Rin Rukawa to Atobe, she could only touch her conscience and look up at the sky.
Atobe … is not an outsider anymore …
Tezuka expressed his annoyance toward the person who had been watching the show for a long time. Furthermore, the person had been using the title of Rukawa Sakura's boyfriend for a long time. Even now, he had not removed that title from his face!
Earlier, it was one thing, but now, it was the same!
Even someone as calm as Tezuka Kunimitsu was about to explode.
Rukawa Sakura said that she had never admitted it before, but everyone had a wild imagination.
And Atobe had to take on this responsibility under Tezuka's sharp gaze.
Even though Tezuka wanted to announce to the world that Rukawa Sakura was his girlfriend, he knew that would be too rash.
And since Rukawa Sakura had made her choice, she would not purposely hide it.
However, with Tezuka Kunimitsu's current popularity, it was not a wise choice to announce it.
Both of them were rational people, and Tezuka knew where to draw the line. Even though Rukawa Sakura did not mind it that much, both of them felt like they should at least wait until Rukawa Sakura graduated from university.
Tezuka did not want to waste too much energy on the question of 'his girlfriend'. After all, the media, especially the tabloids and tabloids, would not let go so easily once they caught on to something. Sooner or later, they would cause trouble for them.
Therefore, it was better to wait for some time.
To be able to find time to date was a very important thing for Tezuka Kunimitsu.
It was much more important than his competition.
Therefore, other than the competition, there was nothing else that could waste his time.
As for the rest … he would leave it to Atobe.
"Ah Guang, I'm hungry." Rukawa Sakura pleaded with her eyes.
Tezuka smiled and walked forward to grab her hand. "Let's go, I've made a reservation at the restaurant." Then he changed the subject. "Why are your hands so cold?
Have you put on enough clothes? "
"It's just a cold. It's fine, it's not that cold."
Tezuka held her hand and used his body temperature to warm her hand. Then he placed her hand into his coat pocket.
Rukawa Sakura squeezed his hand with a smile.
"Let's go."
"Okay."
"Let's go back to Japan for the New Year."
"Okay.
I haven't seen Tezuka Grandpa, Uncle, and Auntie in a long time. "
"Even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws."
"Huh?
How am I ugly? "
"It's okay, I like you no matter how ugly you are."
"…" What do you want her to say?
When this man speaks, he is so … sweet and mushy …
How come I didn't notice that before?
You are set to be an iceberg, Mr. Head!
Xu Zhimo said, "There should be at least one time in your life when you forget yourself for someone. You don't ask for a result, don't ask for companionship, don't ask for ownership, and don't even ask for your love. I just want to meet you in my most beautiful years."
Tezuka Kunimitsu and Rukawa Sakura finally "met" in their most beautiful years.
From then on, they walked hand in hand.
And they got the result they wanted. They were also fated to walk together. From then on, after they met and got to know each other, they fell in love.
This was love.
It was born in a moment of fireworks. After they fell in love, they would exist forever.
Indeed, love was only a moment.
However, real love was not a moment of impulse.
Tezuka Kunimitsu and Rukawa Sakura were not impulsive people.
Once they had decided on something, they would not let it go.
Before midnight, they walked together in the brightly lit city center of New York.
Rukawa Sakura rubbed her stomach and complained to Tezuka. "I ate too much …"
Tezuka touched her stomach in amusement. "You didn't like it, but you ate it all?"
"How did I not like it?"
"You still don't like it?" Tezuka raised his eyebrows.
"Did you like it so much that you ate too much?"
"… I just don't hate it …"
"Haha … It's my mistake. I didn't expect you to not get used to steak."
"I cook my own food, okay? Which part of you saw that I'm used to steak?"
"So why did you eat it all?"
"That's because I'm saving food!
It's not bad to eat it once in a while! "
"Okay, okay, okay. Next time, let's go eat Chinese food?"
"I can cook my own Chinese food. Why do we have to go out to eat?
Is my food bad? "
Tezuka rubbed his girlfriend's head helplessly. "It's delicious. I like the food you cook the most." He hugged Rukawa Sakura and whispered, "So, cook for me for the rest of my life."
Rukawa Sakura blushed and didn't say anything.
Tezuka buried his head in her shoulder and chuckled.
But he was very happy.
In the past, he wouldn't have dared to imagine such a scene.
He was very satisfied.
But he was looking forward to the future.
Because Rukawa Sakura had already agreed, he could look forward to even further.
So far, Tezuka Kunimitsu's life was perfect.
Skipping this topic, the two of them walked on the street and waited for midnight.
The huge screen on the street was showing the NBA's Christmas game, the Boston Celts versus the Los Angeles Lakers.
Kaede Rukawa's sharp gaze was almost piercing through the screen.
— — Hand, Mizuguo, Light!
Tezuka silently tightened his clothes.
As for kidnapping someone else's sister, especially on Christmas Eve … Even if he was thousands of miles away, he could still feel his elder brother's resentment.
But compared to his elder brother's resentment, it was more important to be with Rukawa Sakura.
Unknowingly, snowflakes floated in the sky.
Flowing and unrestrained, unrestrained and unrestrained.
It wasn't very big, but it filled the whole sky.
Snow like this on Christmas Eve added a lot of poetic and picturesque atmosphere.
Rukawa Sakura was afraid of the cold and was born with a cold body, so she was not used to it.
Tezuka unbuttoned his coat and held her in his arms.
"Achoo — —" Rukawa Sakura rubbed her nose.
"Be careful not to catch a cold." Tezuka frowned. "Let's go back."
"Wait.
Since we're out, at least wait until the bell rings, right? "
"But you — —"
"It's okay, this is fine." Rukawa Sakura leaned against Tezuka's chest and hugged the man's waist tightly.
Tezuka looked down at her gently and stroked her hair.
"Wear more next time when you go out."
"I know I'm afraid of the cold, so I've already worn a lot," Rukawa Sakura said sullenly.
"You can wear more."
"It'll be too bloated."
"You're very thin."
The two of them hugged in the middle of the snowy night, talking about trivial things.
But it was very warm, very warm.
Some people said that it was best to fall in love three times in a lifetime. One was ignorant, one was unforgettable, and one was lifelong.
She was too rational, so she didn't have time to be ignorant, nor did she have time to be unforgettable.
In the end, only this person gave her the promise of a lifetime.
And she believed that he would definitely do what he promised.
Tezuka Kunimitsu.
Her whole life.
This was the life she had always yearned for, plain and warm.
But it was undeniable that she was moved by this person.
