Rukawa Sakura was immediately stunned.
It was rare for Tezuka to say such a long sentence,
She had only seen him a few times in the ten years she had known him.
Tezuka Kunimitsu was an introverted person. He would not show his emotions,
So he would not say much.
Even if Tezuka was really good at talking and could even win the debate championship.
But he was not good at expressing his thoughts and emotions with words,
Rukawa Sakura knew.
Today, he specially came to Kanagawa for a game and even waited at her door. In fact, her heart had almost softened.
There was no other reason why he came to her place at this time,
And it was only to explain and apologize.
He probably did not think that he was wrong,
But he knew that he had to come to explain to her.
Rukawa Sakura knew Tezuka Kunimitsu better than he knew himself.
She had always known what kind of person Tezuka was,
Of course, she also understood his persistence. But people were always so contradictory. Even Rukawa Sakura could not say that she could completely understand.
As far as Tezuka's actions were concerned, she was angry. A rational person like her could not understand this kind of persistence.
So, understanding was just understanding.
After watching a match like that, he was shocked.
She really could not forgive him for ruining his body like this.
For a promise,
To that extent,
In this world, there was only Tezuka Kunimitsu, right?
How stupid!
But what did she hear?
Did she really not hear wrongly?
— — such an outstanding and omnipotent Tezuka Kunimitsu said that he was trying to catch up with her?!
Was this world crazy?
Was this person really Tezuka Kunimitsu?
Or was she once again in the past?
Tezuka Kunimitsu would say that he was trying to catch up with someone …?
And that person … was still her?
Tezuka likes tennis, that's for sure.
Everyone knew.
But — — how did this start?
She thought about it carefully. When he was five years old, Tezuka started learning how to play tennis.
At that time … she did seem to have said that she looked forward to seeing him stand at the top of the professional tennis world. She also believed that as long as it was Tezuka Kunimitsu, he could definitely do it … Of course, she did not know how to play tennis.
They had started learning tennis together.
But when Tezuka was able to finish a set, her serve often couldn't pass the net …
Rukawa Sakura had only been good at two kinds of sports since she was young — martial arts and running.
Her reflexes weren't bad either. Even Grandpa said that she was quite talented in martial arts, but once she took up other sports, she couldn't do it.
Therefore, it was not her fault that she could not learn how to play tennis.
Could it be that she had hurt Little Tezuka's pride at that time?
Was that why Tezuka could persist for so long on the road of tennis?
Alright, she was thinking too much.
The Tezuka family's motto was to either not do something or do it with all their might.
It was similar to the Rukawa family's motto: when you're quiet, hide your cleverness; when you're active, act with vigor.
Rukawa Sakura knew that Tezuka's personality had been formed. That was how he was.
It was not a big deal that you couldn't do your best; it was a matter of whether you put in the effort or not.
That way, you would not have any regrets.
Things that you put in your best effort would not be left for regret in the end.
Just like this match, Tezuka chose to fight, and he did not give up until the end.
He had always given his all in everything that he did.
Actually, there was no right or wrong; it was just that Rukawa Sakura could not stand it anymore.
Like she said, the human heart was biased. She was biased toward Tezuka, so she thought that he was wrong.
Because she felt sorry for him.
Tezuka had worked so hard, but in the end, he still lost.
Admittedly, she thought that Atobe's decision was wise.
But Tezuka was even more shocking.
She believed that she would never want to remember this in the future.
She hated this feeling. She hated it.
"Sakura … I …"
"Fine, I understand." Rukawa Sakura waved her hand to interrupt Tezuka. "I know what you mean.
Since you still know to come and explain yourself to me, it means that you are still not 'incurable'.
Perhaps you're right, but I can't agree with you. You should know that, right? That's what I think.
But really, it's pointless to say all that. The match is over, and this is over. I don't even want to think about it in the future. "
"Sakura," Tezuka called helplessly.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I know your personality. It's understandable that you did what you did. We just have different viewpoints. Continuing to argue about this will only hurt our relationship.
I'm not an unreasonable person. You're the one who's sorry.
Now, what you need to think about is getting your hand treated, unless you don't want to play tennis anymore. "
"Ah." Tezuka nodded with a dazed expression.
"But I still have to say that I'm sorry. Because of my elbow …"
"Stop, stop … Okay, let's not talk about this anymore.
Really, that's enough. "
That's enough. "Liukawa Sakura facepalmed. Guoguang, can you not be so serious?
Tezuka was silent.
Rukawa Sakura raised her head to look at Tezuka and suddenly laughed.
Tezuka was confused.
"Ah Guang, you're too serious."
Tezuka pushed on his glasses.
"Never mind, I was indeed a bit angry today, but don't bring this up again. I think that's for the better.
Seeing you torture yourself will make the audience feel bad.
Thankfully, Auntie Caicai hasn't come to watch your matches, or else you'd be finished.
You'd better focus on your arm and be prepared to leave the country for treatment. "
"Okay."
Seeing that Tezuka agreed so readily, Rukawa Sakura shook her head. "Ah Guang, you should learn to let go.
Qing Xue's tennis team has always relied on you. They should learn to grow up.
Also, you're going to graduate. After the third-year students leave, Taocheng and Haitang will be the same.
The tennis team can't operate without you.
This won't do. "
Tezuka nodded seriously.
"Even if Tachikaidai loses Yukimura, he's still the coach of kings. Qing Xue still has a lot to learn.
However, Qing Xue has great potential. You don't have to worry.
I think you've been working hard. Take this opportunity to rest. "
"I can't be careless …"
Rukawa Sakura stood on her tiptoes and flicked Tezuka's forehead with her finger. "That's enough, Kunimitsu."
Tezuka was stunned.
Looking at Rukawa Sakura, who was so close to him, he remembered that he was still holding her hand …
"I'm back …" Kaede Rukawa's voice suddenly sounded.
Tezuka and Rukawa Sakura were both stunned.
"Sa —" Even the word "Sakura" didn't come out completely. Rukawa's eldest brother's face was cold as he looked at his younger sister and —
Rukawa Sakura smiled as if nothing had happened. "Brother, you're back."
Kaede Rukawa's gaze was as sharp as a laser as it shot straight at Tezuka and Rukawa Sakura's intertwined hands.
"Rukawa dage."
Even though Tezuka was known as an "iceberg", he couldn't resist Kaede Rukawa's "Rapid Freezing Ray". Tezuka let go of his hand, pushed up his glasses, and called out to Kaede Rukawa.
However, in a place that no one knew, his ears, which were covered by his hair, were slightly red.
"Brother, Kunimitsu is staying the night."
Rukawa Sakura was of course the safest person at the scene. She didn't seem to notice the fierce fight between the two as she spoke with a smile.
Stare-
Kaede Rukawa stared at Tezuka with a cold face.
Tezuka wasn't a talkative person. He always had a face that was considered as an "iceberg".
Therefore, an extremely strange scene appeared in the living room of the Rukawa family – two icebergs confronting each other.
In fact, Kaede Rukawa was obviously a sis-con, and Tezuka was attacked for no reason!
Who told him to hold Rukawa Sakura's hand and let the Rukawa family's elder brother see this scene!
Only Rukawa Sakura didn't feel any pressure.
No matter what, Tezuka was staying the night in the Rukawa family.
Although Kaede Rukawa didn't feel good from beginning to end, the Rukawa family's final boss, Rukawa Sakura, had already spoken. There was no turning back.
Therefore, Kaede Rukawa could only rely on his height of 187cm, which was 8cm taller than Tezuka, to try his best to "intimidate" the 179cm Tezuka.
However, the minister's deterrence had always been higher than the average person. Usually, he was the one intimidating others. There was no reason for others to intimidate him.
Therefore, the minister was mighty!
Rukawa Sakura held her chopsticks and the corners of her mouth twitched.
These two people – how "affectionate" were they to be able to look at each other until now?
"Ahem –" Rukawa Sakura cleared her throat.
Both of them glanced at her.
