Lihai University full-time sparring

After defeating the Ice Emperor, there is no other team in the Kanto region that can rival Lihai University, which means that Lihai University has obtained tickets to the national competition in advance.

The game against Hyotei was on the weekend, and while he was having breakfast on Monday morning, Zaoji suddenly said, "Brother, watch the tennis forum, your match with Atobe-senpai has been on the TOP1 since yesterday, and the popularity is super high!"

Mingchuan Qianmei heard the words and said, "Really? Show me quickly."

Zao Ji handed over the phone.

Chimi Nagawa pulled down, handed the phone to Hideo Kobayashi, and said happily: "Hideo, look at it. Seiichi's performance is very good. He helped Li Haida score a point in the crucial round. Seiichi, you are awesome."

Morikawa scratched his head embarrassingly: "No, I just did what I should do."

He also opened the forum with his mobile phone.The moderator described the whole game in a passionate tone, detailing and turning point one by one.There is also a video of the game at the back, and many people commented on the post.

"Wow, this is the best match of the year so far!"

"What kind of fairy boy is Morikawa? He won the national championship in the English speech contest, and he can play tennis like that!"

"As a girl who doesn't know much about tennis, I was impressed by Morikawa's perseverance and tenacity at the scene. Is there any girl who becomes a fan in seconds!"

"Don't go upstairs if you're a fan, let me tell you, Morikawa is super helpful. Last time I was doing hygiene, I was carrying a bucket of water that was heavy. I met Morikawa on the way. Morikawa helped carry the water to my classroom. His smile was super warm. Great boyfriend!"

Some boasted about Morikawa, and some felt sorry for Atobe.Morikawa has long been familiar with these things, glanced at them, put the phone aside, and concentrated on drinking milk.

Morikawa himself doesn't often talk about tennis at home, but Zaoji is a "little mouthpiece", so his parents know a lot about his performance in school.Kobayashi Hideo looked at the forum, nodded, and said seriously: "Good job."

For Morikawa, this compliment from his father is rare.He smiled as a response, and urged Zao Ji: "Hurry up and eat, or you will be late for today's training. Aren't you shortlisted for the top 32 women's singles? You must not slack off."

Zao Ji said airily: "My brother is so powerful, Zao Ji will work hard!"

Her expression made her parents laugh, Nagawa Qianmei was a little moved, she glanced at Morikawa gratefully, and asked: "Can Morikawa eat enough? Bring more snacks to school."

"No need, Teacher Mingchuan has prepared enough snacks."

Zao Ji ate quickly, and the two went out and got on the bus to school.Morikawa re-opened the video of yesterday's match between Lianji and Fuji, wanting to sum up some experience for the staff.The distance is short, and the road is smooth in the morning. Morikawa arrived after watching the video for ten minutes.

After he was selected, he couldn't take care of both club work and Zaoji's practice, so he applied with Sanada, and Sanada broke the rules and agreed to Zaoji's daily training in the men's tennis club.

Arrive early, run to warm up first.After running two laps and seeing Lian Er walking into the stadium, Morikawa immediately went up to meet him, and greeted him energetically: "Morning, staff!"

Lian Er responded, said good morning, put down her golf bag, "I'm going to warm up too."

Morikawa looked at his back and frowned subconsciously.Lian Er was in a low mood, from the loss to the present.In the past, the two would chat for a long time at night, but yesterday they sent a message to Lian Er, but it took him a long time to reply.I called him last night to enlighten him, but the effect did not seem to be obvious. Today, Lian Er looked as calm as usual on the surface, but Morikawa obviously felt that something was wrong with him and he was not in a high mood.

Totally sympathetic.It's normal to lose, but it's more or less unwilling to lose because of the opponent's extraordinary performance.People often say that "100 points of hard work can only get 1 point in return, but no effort will definitely get you no return", but when you really fail, it is impossible not to recall those past efforts.

Lian Er is not someone who can't afford to lose. Behind the low appearance, there is a high probability that he sums up his mistakes in his mind.His calmness is not just pretending on the surface, the staff has a strong heart, regardless of age.

Rationally knowing that there is not much for Lianji to worry about, Morikawa just can't bear to stay out of it.He asked himself over and over again, what can he do for Lian Er?When he was in trouble, Lian Er was always by his side.There is no need to say thank you to the brothers, but Lian Er has given him help in a timely manner several times, and his feedback is too little.

Should I replay the game with him?Morikawa watched Lianji's game video twice last night, and watched it again this morning, and he is familiar with the points that should be paid attention to.However, the resumption will have to wait until after the afternoon session.During the period from morning to afternoon, should we take the initiative to chat about the game again?Not very good, the chat on social software is not formal enough, the recess is too short, and I have already talked about it last night.

Morikawa thinks he is good at relieving people's emotions, but he is a little entangled with his best friend.The human heart is hidden in the black box of the world, and it changes from time to time.Sometimes hard and tenacious, sometimes weak and sensitive.He was particularly worried that he would be a disservice to him, and instead make Lian Er's mood worse.

The first session in the morning was Mandarin. Morikawa was thinking hard in the class, and secretly took out his mobile phone several times to send a message to Lian Er, but put it down several times.

The mandarin teacher said on the stage: "The homework assigned to everyone yesterday was to copy a love poem, and everyone did well. Poetry is a wonderful language. Those words that cannot be uttered, sincere and strong feelings, are condensed in the Between the lines, those who see the poems will be able to resonate with the author. Now send everyone’s homework, let everyone taste it, and feel it with your heart. In the fast-paced modern society, calm down and read a love poem, which can cultivate us sentiments."

Morikawa, who was distracted, heard the sentence "emotions are condensed between the lines", and the light bulb in his mind lit up.Write a paragraph to Lian Er!Encourage people's hearts through words, and avoid the embarrassment of bringing up the topic again.

He took out his notebook and tore a page out to write, but stopped halfway through the tearing, feeling shabby and frivolous.I rummaged through the bag and found that they were all homework books, so I couldn't get them out.It just so happened that the front desk passed down the Mandarin homework he handed in yesterday. It was the white paper he found for the early minutes last night. It was relatively hard, and there were light green leaves printed on the top of the paper.

Morikawa had been thinking about how to motivate Lianji for a couple of hours. Holding this piece of hard paper with both hands, he turned to the blank side of the back, and wrote like a spirit, all in one go.

Seeing his hard work, we know his goal and persistence.The opponent is stronger than oneself, which is the best spur.Keep your feet on the ground, accumulate steps and even thousands of miles.The staff is such a persistent and powerful person, he must have good luck with him.Even if you are not lucky, you will be accompanied by Morikawa.To be sad with him, to practice with him, to go through the setbacks caused by failure together, and one day, I will accompany him to stand on the podium of the national competition.There will be times when the wind and the waves cleave, hang the clouds and sail straight to the sea.

The general idea of ​​the letter is this. After Morikawa finished writing it, he read it twice, and added a sentence "Lianji, come on!" at the end, and drew two cute smiling cartoon people.I checked it one last time, folded it carefully, and put it in the book.

It happened that there was a physical education class in the morning, so Morikawa put the letter in his pocket, changed into sports clothes and went to the playground to gather.

At the end of the semester, the sports that should be attended are almost finished.The physical education teacher asked everyone to run a few laps on the playground, announced the dissolution of free activities, and the students cheered.

Lian Er came over and asked Morikawa, "What are your plans for the future?"

"Go back to the classroom. How about you, the staff officer?"

"go to the library."

Morikawa wanted to follow, but then he thought maybe Lianji needed some private space, put his hand in his trouser pocket, stroked the letter, and said, "Then you go."

The library and the teaching building are in two directions, Morikawa watched Lianji turn around.After Lian Er took a few steps, Yamashita, who was standing not far away, came over and invited Morikawa to watch the piano rehearsal in the music classroom. Morikawa refused after thinking for a second, and said, "I'll go back when I have a chance. I'll go back to the teaching building first."

He pretended to go to the teaching building, and when he was far down the mountain, he hid behind a tree, glanced around a few times, and after making sure that there were no familiar classmates around, he walked quickly to the library.I'm still worried about Lian Er, and I don't know what he is doing in the library, so I don't care, let's follow up and have a look first.

Lian Er didn't walk fast, so he followed after a while.Seeing him walk into the library and into the literature reference room, Morikawa sneaked behind him, using the wall as a cover.

Following to the door of the reference room, Morikawa paused for a few seconds, thinking about whether to follow in, and finally took out the letter paper from his pocket, took a look, and went in without hesitation.

Under the influence of Lian Er, he came here a lot. After entering, he found a big bookshelf to block himself, and peeked in Lian Er's direction.

The bookshelves in the literature reference room are designed in a circular shape. From Morikawa's perspective, you can just see the profile of Renji who is looking for books obliquely in front of him.

Lian Er took out a thick book from the bookshelf, carefully looked at the cover, then turned the book over to look at the spine, and finally opened it.The light passed through the upper window and poured on Lian Er's body, painting his long eyelashes with a layer of golden honey, and casting the shadow of his high nose bridge on the white pages of the book.Through the fine dust surging in the light, his fingers turning over the book appear slender and white, with well-defined joints.

Wearing the most common white sportswear, he exudes a clean atmosphere from the inside out, and the bookish atmosphere in the room makes him appear gentle and refined.

Lian Er suddenly moved.

Morikawa, who was in a daze at Lianji, was taken aback, quickly retracted his head, and hid behind the bookshelf again.

He patted his heaving chest due to tension, and after about a minute, he stretched out his head to peek again.Lian Er had already selected the books and sat on the innermost desk to read them.

Morikawa made a detour from the inside, deliberately walked to the bookshelf where Lian Er had just read, searched from memory, and focused on the study of love literature.

love?Why study this?Could it be that the staff officer fell in love with someone?Wait, I said earlier that the staff officer would not like other people, Lian Er, is this the beginning of love......

However, if you like others, why would you come to the library to read this kind of book? Shouldn't you start chasing it?No, it doesn't violate harmony at all to study relevant literature in the style of a staff officer. He has such a rigorous style.

Thinking of this possibility, for some reason, Morikawa suddenly felt like a deflated ball, very disappointed.

He picked up a book casually with some distaste, and sneaked to a row of desks opposite the staff officer.There is an open space between the two rows of desks, and there are green plants, which are very good barriers.

Morikawa hunched over and turned to the first page of the book, completely unwilling to read on.Hmm, love poetry research, what is there to study?Wait, love poetry research?

Morikawa straightened up excitedly, took a step back, and the stool was pulled back, making a harsh rubbing sound.

Love poetry research?Could it be... The staff officer came to check the information for the Mandarin homework, didn't he like someone?

At this moment, Morikawa heard the chirping of birds on the tree next to the library, suddenly felt the fragrance of birds and flowers, the haze was swept away, and his mood was bright.

He is so stupid, Lian Er stays with him every day, the situation must be similar to him, learning these three things in rotation in practice games, how can there be any chance to like others.

He couldn't help lowering his head and giggling, feeling that the stool was a bit far away, he lifted it up and pulled it back, and was taken aback for a moment—his stool made such a loud noise just now, wouldn't Lian Er notice it?

Hastily raised his head to look in Lian Er's direction, the person was gone!

Morikawa was in a hurry, he immediately closed the book and wanted to go to the left.There was a glimpse of white in the corner of his eyes, and he looked up, and Lian Er was sitting on his left.

Morikawa, who was caught, was embarrassed for a moment, scratched his head, and opened his mouth to speak. Lian Er hurriedly put his finger next to his lips to silence him, and pointed out to tell him to go out.

Morikawa took the book obediently, stood up and gently put the stool back in place, and returned the book to the shelf.When he walked out, Lian Er just finished checking out the book borrowing procedures, and walked beside him with the book in his arms.

When he reached the stairs, Morikawa was the first to defend himself in a low voice: "I was planning to go back to the classroom, but thinking of what the Mandarin teacher said about cultivating sentiment, I wanted to come to the literature room to get a book about love poetry."

Lian Er asked anxiously: "Then why don't you borrow the book back?"

Morikawa patted his forehead in frustration, and then he had a flash of inspiration and said, "Isn't this incomprehensible?"

Lian Er stopped asking, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Morikawa always felt that he had seen through him, but he couldn't explain anymore, otherwise there would be suspicion that there was no silver 300 taels here.From the stairs to the lawn below, Morikawa took out the folded letter paper from his trouser pocket: "Consultant, here it is."

Lian Er was slightly surprised: "For me?"

"Well. A letter to you. Haha, don't read it now, read it when you go back."

Lian Er lowered his head to take a serious look at the words on the letter paper, and put the paper between the borrowed books.

Morikawa walked down the steps first, turned around and said, "After the afternoon work, let's replay your game yesterday? Or now, but only a quarter of the replay, the time is too short."

Lian Er did not answer this question, but asked: "How many times have you watched the match between me and Fuji?"

"Two or three times." Morikawa blurted out and felt wrong, "How do you know I read it?"

Lian Er laughed again, with a bit of mystery, "Of course I know. Let's replay the game tonight, don't worry. Now it's windy, do you want to sit under the tree over there?"

The woods near the library is a well-known cool spot in Lihai University, where the temperature is much lower than other places.Morikawa readily agreed, and sat on the wooden bench under the tree with Lian Er. On a day in July, the stool was not very hot, and it was very comfortable when the wind blew.

Morikawa folded his hands behind his head, and crossed Erlang's legs in a relaxed manner.Lian Er didn't say whether he was sitting or not, and asked him: "What kind of poem did Morikawa hand in when he copied the love poem in the Mandarin class?"

"Well, it's "To the Oak"."

"Is the author Shu Ting?"

Morikawa opened his eyes in surprise: "You know all this? The knowledge is too wide, she is a Chinese poet."

"Well, I have read her poetry collection before. After all, you are very interested in Chinese culture."

"Well, China has a long history and is extensive and profound. Liu, let's travel to China together in the future! Appreciate the charm of China's ancient capitals, go to Dunhuang to see grotto murals, go to the prairie of Inner Mongolia to see sheep, go to Jiuzhaigou to see the natural scenery, go to Tibet It's amazing to experience the wonderland on earth. I promise you will really like it."

The sun shines through the leaves, leaving a few light spots on Morikawa's face, making his expression more vivid.

Lian Er clenched his left hand slightly, barely restraining his desire to touch Morikawa's face.He looked into Morikawa's expectant eyes, and said softly, "Okay, it's a deal."

"En!" Morikawa nodded heavily, and he was eager to say something about China, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps behind him.

He didn't do anything wrong, but Morikawa was shocked, as if he was about to be caught by the head teacher for skipping class.No, the bench they chose was deep in the woods, and it was class time again, who would come here?

Morikawa and Lianji turned their heads at the same time.

Through the gap between the tree trunks, a boy was trotting after another boy, both of them were wearing Lihai University uniform.After catching up quickly, the boy behind suddenly turned the body of the boy in front, pushed his shoulders, pushed him against the tree, then pinched his two hands with one hand, raised them up and fixed them, and kissed him with his head down. on his lips.

Morikawa: "...??"

The tall boy who took the initiative to be a relative felt the gaze of the two of Morikawa and turned his head suddenly, with a trace of murderous look in his eyes.

Morikawa: "...??"

The boy who was kissed also saw them, and nodded to them in embarrassment, but was dragged away by the tall boy.

Morikawa: "..." It took him more than ten seconds to come back to his senses, scratching his head, and said, "Where did we talk just now, I forgot about such an interruption. These two buddies are really, during class time Come to the grove, can you be so uncontrollable? And that tall man, why is he acting like a domineering president, obviously we arrived first, he is as fierce as a bank robber."

Lian Er keenly noticed that there was something wrong with his complaint: "You don't mind?"

"What do you mind? Are you dating at school? You are a high school student, and there are quite a lot of classmates who are dating around you. You get used to it after seeing a lot." Morikawa lived abroad in his previous life and was relatively open. He often saw others on the road. Kiss, don't feel anything.

Lian Er thought for a second and said, "No, I mean, they are all boys..."

"Oh, what are you talking about, it doesn't matter to us whether people are looking for the same sex or the opposite sex, as long as they feel happy. But they are in such a broad daylight, if they are seen by the teacher, the influence will not be very good. Why, the staff can't do you accept?"

Lian Er quickly shook her head.He had tested Morikawa's reaction to this matter quietly before, but he had never been as intuitive as today.I don't think same-sex being together is disgusting, and kissing in front of others is so normal, even if it is not purely curvy, at least it is not so straight.

I feel happy right now, like a bright light shining in the dark.

Morikawa is frank and unabashed, showing that he simply regards Lianji as a buddy.It's not difficult for him to realize it, but the staff is always restrained, not wanting something to go wrong, not wanting to act rashly and ruin the relationship between the two.

The day he has been looking forward to may be coming soon.
