[Net King] one step away

1,

Nioh is a person with strong empathy.

It sounds like a joke.

Nioh Masaharu, a fraudster, never speaks the truth, loves to tease people, but he can calm down when scolded on his face, seems to be indifferent to everything and treats everything with a playful attitude.

Such a person has a strong empathy ability?

But to understand it from another angle?

If it weren't for his strong empathy ability, how could he understand a person's tennis style and past experience in a short period of time, so as to resonate with his emotions and spirit, and complete the "Phantom"?

There is no difference between cheating and playing.

So Nioh is a standard experiential school.

2,

During dinner, the coaching staff announced the list for the next day's match against Germany.

Nioh heard his name and was with Senior Duke.

In fact, he knew it after the last round. The coach told him in advance, and the Duke seniors also took him to watch the game against Camus, and he later communicated with Camus alone.

Nioh is a smart guy, he knows what coaches and seniors want him to do.

And this originally overlapped with his own wishes, so he did it, well-behaved.

But when the list was finalized and announced, he suddenly felt tired again.

Where are you tired?

He couldn't tell either.

"Go for a walk."

When Liu Sheng found him, he had just finished taking a shower, and his hair was half-dried by the hair dryer.

He was reluctant, but he didn't refuse.

Carefully wind up the cord of the hair dryer, and use the hair rope placed on the sink to tie up the ends of the hair into a low ponytail.

It was getting cold at night, and he was only wearing a simple white T-shirt and black sweatpants. The cool wind blew his half-dry hair up, and his scalp was a little numb.

He was delighted by the coolness.

"I'm playing tomorrow," he said.

Liu Sheng was half a meter away from him, and when he heard this, he turned his head to look at him: "I know."

4,

The stadium rented by the Japanese team near the hotel was not closed.

There was a match the next day, and the Japanese team went to the semi-finals in a row. They were short of major generals, and everyone was very tired, so there was no one in the stadium at this time.But the spotlights were on, the net was drawn tight, and a basket of tennis balls and spare racquets stood by the side of the court.

I didn't intend to go in this direction, but I walked to the stadium as I walked.

Only then did Nioh admit that he was a little nervous.

He doesn't want to play right now.

He didn't even have a racket.

"Go up."

Yagyu pointed to the auditorium next to him before he said anything.

King Ren pursed his lips and followed Liu Sheng up.

The isolation layer next to the stepped auditorium is a square table, which is tightly blocked by the rain cover.There was no light at this time, and there were two worlds separated from the stadium.Nioh took two steps in first, leaving himself in the dark.

In fact, it is not very dark, at least you can see the square tables and chairs.

But the long railings and the awning above the head seem to separate the world from the stadium, making it a cold and lonely world.

Nioh walked in front, walked to the middle of the corridor, turned around and sat on the bench with his back to the square table.

Liu Sheng followed behind him slowly, and at this time walked slowly in front of him again.

Wearing short sleeves and wearing a cloak because of the cold night, Yagyu, who looked different from usual, looked down at Nioh, with a helpless tone: "Nioh-sama, we are on a date, please be happy."

"Pfft."

5,

The habit of going out for a walk with two people at night, or finding a place to chat in a hotel, started in Australia.

They had a quarrel after the national competition, and they were in a cold war at the beginning of the U17.

At that time, they were still ordinary friends, but they also vaguely felt that there was something different about each other.

Yagyu visited him in the infirmary after Wadabe finished his doubles in the First Army Challenge, and they quarreled again in the infirmary.

His hands were bandaged, and it was a bit inconvenient for a few days. Liu Sheng helped him carry things, watched him go to the infirmary for daily checkups, and followed him silently.

King Ni didn't know whether Liu Sheng was more calm than any of them.

But Nioh couldn't stand this.

"What are you going to do?" Nioh asked Yagyu at the door of his house on the day he returned to rest from the training camp.

At that time, Liu Sheng helped him carry his luggage all the way home.

"Won't you invite me in?"

King Ni thought, let's just make it clear.

Stop stalemate.

It's so boring.

He thought so, and then retracted the words when they came to his lips.

However, Liu Sheng seemed to have seen through his thoughts at that moment, and took a step forward to hold his hand at the moment he was about to turn around and go straight into the house.

"King Ren, don't pretend to be stupid." Liu Sheng said, "Don't you know what I'm doing?"

"I don't know." King Ni was going to pretend to be stupid to the end.

Then Liu Sheng showed an expression somewhere between helplessness and relief.

"King Ni." He changed the title and lost the honorifics, "I like you, do you want to try dating?"

6,

Nioh already knew about liking each other.

He thought he had a tacit understanding with Liu Sheng, so he didn't say anything.

But in a chat later, Yagyu said that the name "Laser Beam" was to show his passionate feelings for the senior sister he had a crush on.

That's when the Cold War probably started.

Nioh felt too embarrassed at first, was he acting affectionate?

But when he calmed down, he felt that, despite his self-indulgence, the ambiguity he felt could not be fake.

So the fraud master was deceived by others?

Nioh admitted that he was venting his anger, but he couldn't convince himself.

Then he went to Yukimura and said he wanted to play singles.

When the final list of the national competition came out, Liu Sheng blocked him, asking why the sudden cold war and why it suddenly became a singles.

Could it be that King Ni is because I am angry at myself for being passionate?Don't be funny, it's so silly.

"I've been planning to play singles for a long time, Hiroshi." Nioh said.

They almost got into a fight at the agency office, and really broke up.

So later in the U17 seven-goal duel, when he was caught distracted during the game and had to go to the loser's bracket, Nioh just gritted his teeth and told himself that you can no longer be influenced by him.

But how could he not be wronged.

7,

"Are you kidding me?" King Ren narrowed his eyes at the door of his house, "Don't you have a crush on Senior Sister?"

"Why don't you ask me when this secret love happened?"

"When did you practice your laser beam, don't I know?"

"Yes." Liu Sheng sighed, "So, do you want me to tell everyone that the name 'Laser Beam' represents my self-improvement to confess to you?"

Niwang pursed his lips.

"Do you want to date?" Liu Sheng looked at him with the same calm tone as before.

Nioh really hates him like this.

But what can be done?He just likes him.

"Okay." He licked his back molars, narrowed his eyes, "Then let's date."

8,

It's a cautious start to date, two people.

So in Australia, I will make time to come and get together every day.

Whether it’s a date or not, it probably does. It’s an occasion where there are only two people, talking about things related to tennis or not.

Sometimes I feel awkward, but when the pressure is high, Nioh will secretly rejoice that Yagyu is there.

He has become weak, and King Ni knows it himself.

But he couldn't help it.

"This competition is the last time I will use Phantom." Nioh said.

Under Yagyu's gaze, he unconsciously said such words.

And the person standing in front of him suddenly changed his expression: "You...King Ren, are you serious?"

Seeing Yagyu's surprised expression, Nioh relaxed instead.

It can be regarded as a complaint, or it can be regarded as something from the heart. There are some things that can be said to your boyfriend: "So far, I have hallucinated many people. The closer I get to the real person, the more clearly I can see the frustrations, thoughts and life experiences of those people... A little depressed."

A little tired.

A psychological burden, or it cannot be said to be a psychological burden.

But the emotional investment and exhaustion are real, and too much accumulated in a short period of time can't be vented, making people want to go crazy.

Nioh is not the type to hurt himself because of other people's feelings.

But in order for the phantom to push the empathy to the limit, it has to invest in a person's most extreme emotions in a short period of time. If you do this kind of thing a few times, you will be in a trance.

Nioh stood up and walked over to the railing.

The moon is bright tonight, and it's still full.

Why is there a full moon in this season?

Who knows, but the moonlight is beautiful anyway.

And speaking out what has been accumulated in my heart for a long time is like throwing away a big package all at once.

The body is much more relaxed.

Forget it, it's just that the pressure is too much for a while and I feel uncomfortable.

Nioh thought, it would be too weak to act like a baby with her boyfriend for such a trivial matter.

Why have I been so weak since Liu Sheng and I were together?

He was about to turn around and look for other topics, when he heard Liu Sheng say behind him: "King Ren, do you want to have a fight after a long time?"

9,

They haven't played a game since the seven-goal duel.

The seven-ball duel is not counted as their official game.

Nioh didn't want to exercise very much, because he had taken a bath and didn't want to sweat and take a bath again.

But Yagyu dragged him to the court.

Reluctant at first, but soon he realizes that Yagyu is feeding him the ball.

He suddenly became angry, and his expression became serious unconsciously.

Without phantoms, playing against Yagyu is the last thing you need to use phantoms.Because the most suitable opponent for Yagyu will always be Nioh Masaharu himself.Their styles of play are similar, and strictly speaking, they are not very complementary partners. This is why he told Yukimura that he wanted to play singles, and Yukimura agreed without asking why.

Sometimes Nioh wondered if he insisted on playing doubles with Yagyu because he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to do something.

But in fact they did nothing, and even the seemingly satisfactory results now came after they stopped playing doubles.

Compared with partners, they are more suitable as opponents.

Nioh's breathing became short of breath because of this realization.

He began to sweat, no matter how cold the summer night was, it was still summer.

But the sweat took away part of his irritability.

He looked at Liu Sheng opposite, and clearly understood that he was making trouble for no reason.

10,

No one was keeping score, so Nioh stopped abruptly after hitting a ball.

Panting, he stood on his knees for a while and then lay down on the ground, avoiding the glare of the spotlights, looking at the round moon in the sky.

The weather is so suitable for dating, why play tennis?

He couldn't help thinking.

Liu Sheng walked over from the other side of the field and walked up to him: "What's wrong?"

Nioh didn't want to play.

He didn't speak either.

Then Liu Sheng sighed softly, squatted down: "Okay, stop acting like a baby."

You're just kidding.

Just now, Nioh, who admitted in his heart that he was acting like a baby, couldn't help but groan in his heart when he heard this sentence.

He refused to admit that he was acting like a baby.

Then he met Liu Sheng's eyes.

Under the lens, under the light of the spotlight, under the moonlight, it is a bit too gentle.

This is simply a foul.

I'm going to swear, Nioh thought.

Liu Sheng stretched out a hand in front of him: "Do you want to hug me?"

King Ni pursed his lips, grabbed Liu Sheng's hand, and stood up with strength.

He arched his back, feeling a little sweaty and sticky and uncomfortable.

But Yagyu opened his hand in front of him.

...then give it a hug.

Thinking of this, he almost rushed into Liu Sheng's arms with a bump.

He lowered his head and rubbed on Liu Sheng's shoulder: "...Pfft, you still wear perfume."

"Yes, yes." Liu Sheng patted the back of his head, "Tomorrow's game, please do your best."

"...you don't need to say it." King Ren raised his head.

He looked at Liu Sheng's side face, suddenly frustrated.

"Give me a kiss," he said. "Have we ever kissed?"

Liu Sheng blinked: "Do you want to?"

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight." Nioh said, "We date every day, and we haven't kissed yet, which is too shameful."

"Okay." Liu Sheng laughed.

11,

They hugged for a while, and then Nio broke away from Yagyu's embrace.

So stupid.

How can I be so stupid today.

Finally recovering from the time of the sage, King Ni was a little hard to look directly at himself just now.

"gone back."

He thought, tomorrow's game can't be like this.

12,

When he returned to his room, he suddenly felt better again.

The author has something to say:

Too XXJ, why so innocent, I sighed.
