[Jiren] Sea Salt and Roses

He probably cares a lot about the Ministry of Impressions.

It's hard to say how much he cares, but at least he has crossed his warning line.

And this kind of care has even existed since a long time ago, so that when facing Atobe, he always becomes sharper than usual, as if he would lose completely if he didn't.

And he hates losing the most.

On the morning when the estrus was over, King Ni woke up in the morning light.

The turbulent tide made him forget to draw the curtains the night before, and the Australian sunlight just crossed the corner of the curtains in the early morning, penetrated the glass, and shone on the quilt.

He smelled of roses all over him, almost covering up the original smell of sea salt.

Suddenly, he had a sense of belonging.

He knew he liked Atobe.

Liked it a long time ago.

That kind of liking was very weak at first, and it was no different from ordinary appreciation, and it had nothing to do with love.To put it bluntly, it is more "I hope he can see me in his eyes".

Very simple.

In most cases, Nioh didn't care so much about winning or losing.

In other words, his own definition of winning or losing is not the same as purely winning or losing.

So he can always keep calm during the game. Looking at the overall situation, the first goal is to play enough.If you accidentally play it off, it will be more unwilling.

In the doubles match with Atobe, he was so persistent that he himself was surprised.

abnormal?

Just push it to Tezuka.

Anyway, tricks like "Phantom" are just the mask of a fraudster.

He thought so and did so, and he worked his life with peace of mind.

After that, there were some subtleties between him and Atobe.The young master's subtle self-esteem, and his subtle abnormal behavior.

The novelty makes Nioh never tired of it.

If it wasn't for differentiation, then he might really pursue the young master on a whim who knew he would develop into an ALPHA. After all, opportunities are rare, and life should be happy in time.

But if it wasn't for the division, he and the young master probably wouldn't have come to this point.

Actually started talking about children.

Even in estrus, it is too much.

Niwang covered his face and let out a breath, somewhat frustrated.

He sat on the bed and looked through the sports news. Sure enough, the Japanese team lost to the German team in the opening game the day before.

Although the "once-in-a-hundred-year genius" in the tennis world does not come out only once in a century, it is true that it does not happen every session.In the stage of lean and yellow, the goal of several coaches is only to relegation.

How many rounds can the Japanese team survive this time?

Quarterfinals?

Final four?

He got up from the bed to wash up, and thought about it for a few rounds, and finally stayed on "what to eat in the morning".If you think too deeply, you will get hungry easily, but if you think too shallow, you will feel a sense of crisis.Whether it is competition or love, it consumes too much brain power, and it is something that cannot be answered accurately after thinking for a long time.

Nioh wiped the water off his face in front of the bathroom mirror.

He blinked and met his own eyes in the mirror.

Atobe returned to the room after finishing a phone conference across the country and found an empty bed.

The quilt was simply folded twice, and the sheets exposed to the sun were smoothed out.

There is also the smell of sea salt and rose mixed together in the room, which is very strange and pleasant.

When the bathroom door was opened, the smell of sea salt was stronger, a little sweeter than usual.

The smell of roses.

"Are you back?" The man with the fragrance of roses rubbed his hair and came out, "Have you slept? Or have you been working until now?"

"I'm not so busy yet. Let me solve everything, and the high salary paid is meaningless."

"Pfft, but Mr. President is still busy with everything."

Atobe frowned slightly, and then spread it out quickly, showing a smile: "Ah, if you want me to accompany you, just tell me."

"...No, this is the line at eight o'clock." Nioh squinted his eyes and replied, abnormally did not refute Atobe's words.

He was wearing a simple white shirt with a casual style. The outline of his abdominal muscles was exposed from the unbuttoned placket. When he threw away the towel, the muscle lines naturally tightened and relaxed.

This reminded Atobe of the past two days.

Shaking his head, and straightening things out casually, Nio closed the skirt of his clothes and started buttoning them from bottom to top.

Probably because he noticed Atobe's gaze, he raised his head and raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you tired of watching it?"

"If my uncle is tired of watching it now, what will I do in the future?"

This is obviously a joke, but it also has a serious element.

Nioh couldn't stand this kind of teasing.

He changed the subject: "Have you had breakfast yet?"

"Ok?"

"I'm hungry."

After 10 minutes, they changed their clothes and went out, familiar with the road.

Australia is really a familiar place.Not to mention the annual Australian Open when Nioh was still a professional player (even if he didn’t participate in it, he would watch it), the Atobe Foundation also has a lot of businesses in Australia.

If there is a special meaning, there is also some.

The place where I first came into contact with international competitions, the year when high school and junior high school jointly participated in the U17 World Cup, changed the experience of many people's life choices.

It's a good place for a date.

The sun is so good that the whole street is dyed golden.

Nioh doesn't like sunshine, but he doesn't like holding umbrellas either.

He walked on the side of the eaves, stepping on the shadow.

Atobe walked on the outside, and the blond hair seemed to melt in the warmth of the sun.

Nioh glanced sideways at Atobu's eyes glistening with sunlight.Bisedu, which was originally like a deep sea, has a layer of gem-like brilliance, which is transparent and attractive.

Compared to others, I really like Atobe's face the most.

As he thought about it, a smile appeared on his brows when he looked back.

Saying it was "breakfast", it was already noon when we found a restaurant that suited the two of us.

The lunch market was about to start, and there was no one in the restaurant yet. The location by the window avoided direct sunlight, and fresh flowers and transparent vases decorated the table.

Nioh held a cup of black tea and sipped it with little interest.

A similar scene reminded him of the meeting two months ago.

A high-rise revolving restaurant in Tokyo, where you can see Tokyo Tower.

"Time flies," he said.

"Huh?"

"It turned out that I really liked you."

This sounded like a self-monologue, which made Atobe stunned for a moment.

What should I reply?

"My uncle's charm is naturally the most gorgeous"?

Something out of place.

But such a confession was originally inappropriate on such an occasion.

It was something he never thought he would hear at such a time and occasion.

"Are you confessing?"

"I'm talking about love." King Ni said.

Atobe laughed.

Very gentle, even the blue in the eyes softened.

"I have received your confession."

"As for the reply—" He raised his chin slightly, showing the same exuberant complacency as when he was a teenager after a long absence, "This uncle is not someone who casually proposes to others."

"...Who was the one who said you could refuse?"

"You can indeed refuse. I have made a decision, and you are the only one who needs to make a choice."

These were not words that surprised Nioh.

But when he actually heard it, he still couldn't be as indifferent as he expected.

On the contrary, it was him himself, it seemed abnormal to confess so bluntly at this moment.

But they are getting married.It would be a pity if you didn't make it clear before getting married.

It's like a circle.Obviously because of liking, at the critical age of 30 years old, I made a marriage proposal under the guise of "law".But in the end, he said this kind of love, and borrowed the special meaning of "marriage".

"Then go on a date." Nioh said, "It would be a pity to get married without falling in love."

"Aren't you dating now?" Atobe asked back.

"Yes." King Ni licked his lips and laughed, "But dating, there should be some special programs, right?"

"……for example?"

"Bungee jumping?" Nioh's eyes lit up.

Atobe: "..."

There is no tandem bungee jumping in Australia, and the cities where the skydiving takes place are some distance away from where the competition takes place.Nioh did not plan to be absent from the preliminaries on the second day, so he had to regretfully give up the idea of ​​an extreme sports.

What's more, the estrus period has just ended, and physical strength is not allowed.

But fortunately, there are surfing and other items on the nearby beach, so it is not impossible to try extreme sports.

"You have great physical strength." Atobe, who was dragged to the beach after the meal, half-truthfully praised.

Niwang pretended not to hear the meaning in it: "It's better than the big president who always sits in the office."

Atobe snorted softly, wanted to respond but felt that it would be easy to go to another place that was too charming.

Of course he had planned the confession, the scene was probably a rose garden, at least there must be a bouquet of red roses.There are also love poems, sonnets are also suitable.If it's too subtle, just say it.After all, the more intimate things have been done, and even the more intimate relationships have been bonded.

As a result, King Ren took the lead.

But this person is like this, which gave him too many surprises.So without knowing it, I see people in my eyes and put them in my heart.

He was so different from anyone he had ever met.

Just like now.

"You probably know that I like the sea very much." The person who spoke in a very soft voice next to his ear had a smile in his tone, the originally deep voice seemed to contain gravel, "And I always feel that in your eyes, It contains the sea."

"...Enough is enough, King Ni."

"I don't." King Ni refused bluntly, "It's rare for me to be so frank."

Atobe gritted his teeth: "You did it on purpose."

"Does that even need to be said?"

He bent his brows and eyes, showing a standard "fraudster" smile, with a little more youthful innocence in the background of the sun and the beach for no reason.Atobe's unstable pheromone almost exploded.But the person in front of him who was wrapped in his own pheromone seemed to be unaware of it.

How could it be unaware?

"Look, it's surging now." Nioh stretched out his hand, his fingertips brushed across the corner of Atobu's eyes.

He was in high spirits for no reason and had tons of sweet things to say.

But when Atobe couldn't help but wanted to kiss the back of his neck, Nio avoided it.

"Jingwu, this is at the beach."

"Do you mind again?" Atobe narrowed his eyes.

Nioh shook his head: "I just think there are more meaningful things to do on the beach."

Like surfing.

They returned to the hotel just after dark, bringing pine cones and cheesecake fresh from the nearby pastry shop.Atobe booked dinner at the hotel in advance, and Nioh thought about the menu and felt that it should not be wasted.

When I walked through the lobby to the elevator, I met Byodoin, Tokugawa and Oni who came out.

Tokugawa and Oni were talking, and Byodoin was a step away from them, frowning alone.

He saw Nioh and Atobe first, his eyes froze for a second, and his expression suddenly distorted for a moment.

"Senior." King Ren greeted him.

Byodoin gave a hum: "Go out on a date in broad daylight?"

"Ah, it's not easy to have a date, isn't it?" Atobe responded bluntly, not caring about the presence of the person involved.

Tokugawa looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and only nodded to Atobe and Nioh.

Byodoin choked for a moment, and smiled maliciously at Atobe: "It's not easy. Atobe, you and Nioh have been in the room for two days, why do you still look dissatisfied?"

"...Hmph, people who don't have a partner don't understand." Atobe responded, crossing his arms.

King Ni: Don't harm the fish in the pond.

The author has something to say: I will try to drive their first car tomorrow (that is, the time before Chapter 1 engagement). I feel like I have been driving in my mind recently.

All foxes are so delicious.
