lost to yellow ball

In the end, Mao Lilan rushed over. She helped Ji Li upstairs, and at the same time voluntarily stayed behind to take care of Ji Li.

But Jingwu Atobe saw someone coming, so he didn't stay any longer and left.

"Yuanzi is really worried about you, but she can't leave now, and she will come to see you tomorrow."

It is indeed more convenient for girls to take care of than boys. After all, they can help change clothes, deal with some invisible scratches on the body, and help wipe the body.

"Thank you, Xiaolan." Jiri Jiudao felt a little embarrassed, "I'll trouble you to take care of me."

Mao Lilan smiled and shook her head, "Ji Li is my friend, isn't it natural to take care of friends? And... I also promised Xinyi to take good care of you."

Hearing these words, Kujima was silent for a moment.

How can there be such a mentally retarded speech that asks his childhood sweetheart to take care of other women?

She thought about it, if Yukimura talked to her like this... At the moment when she subconsciously compared Yukimura, Kushima Jiri realized that Yukimura Seichi was no longer her boyfriend.

Although it is said to be separated for a period of time, it is actually no different from breaking up.

Whenever she thinks of Yukimura Seichi, she can't control her emotions, and it's easy for others to see the changes on her face.

At this moment, Mao Lilan looked at her worriedly and said, "What's wrong?" She simply thought that Ji Li was still in pain, so she asked, "Is there any other discomfort?"

Jiu Dao Jili, who came back to his senses, shook his head: "I'm fine, Xiaolan, you should go to bed early too. The guest room was cleaned up before,... By the way, did you bring my mobile phone for me?"

Ji Li took the initiative to mention it, and Mao Lilan remembered it.

She stood up and searched among the things she brought downstairs, and took Ji Li's small bag up.

"Then I'll be in the next room. If you need anything, just call out, okay?" Mao Lilan asked worriedly.

"it is good."

Mollyland is so gentle.

Kushima Jiri blinked.

When the door of the room was closed, there was only one lamp left on the bedside table.

Kili Kushima took a deep breath slowly, trying to exhale all the depression gathered in his chest.

She took the phone over, and when she opened it, there were Yukimura Seiichi's missed calls and messages.

Looking pale.

It may have been impulsive in the hospital, but now that everyone has left, she slowly settled down.

At least the current Yukimura Seiichi is not suitable for her.

—— Ji Li, what happened?

……

…………

The text messages also went from simple questions at the beginning, to explanations, apologies, and the last one.

——Ji Li, don't ignore me.

This sentence reminded Ji Lian of some past events. When he quarreled for the first time, he couldn't remember the reason clearly.She has always treated Yukimura like air, which was how Yukimura was at the time, showing a very melancholy look, holding her hand and whispering 'don't ignore me'.

Her heart softened all of a sudden.

But now when I see this sentence again, maybe it's because they are not face to face, so I don't feel much anymore.

Kushima Jiri blinked slightly.

Clicked into the text message, and edited a paragraph to Yukimura——

"Yukimura Seiichi, I like you.

But I am in pain.

I know you have your own dreams, your favorite things, and your own life.

I understand you, but I don't want to wait for you.

After such a long time, I suddenly realized that falling in love is to make myself happy, not depressed.Although our cohabitation was caused by a joke, I also had expectations, but the gift you gave me was self-righteous concern.

I hope you don't come to me either, and don't force me to transfer schools in the third year of high school.

Now that I'm gone, you can play tennis better.

You don't have to think about me, just think about whether you have chosen to join the profession, just like Kirihara.

I'm sorry, I can't continue with Chiya Kirihara's tutoring, but I've already given him all the tutorial books, so you can teach according to the method.

…………

......"

At the end of the eloquence, Kudao Jili slowly typed the last line.

"Thank you for everything you have done for me over the past two years.

I am sorry that I cannot be your ideal love partner and cannot give you silent support and encouragement.

Cheer for the Kanto Competition.

Hope we make the best impression on each other, so goodbye. "

——From Kushima Kiri

After the message was successfully sent, Kujima Jiri added Yukimura Seiichi's phone number to the blacklist for the second time, and perhaps the last time.

She leaned against the head of the bed, breathing quietly, without any movement.An image of an incoming call flashed on the screen of the phone, and it took a long time for Ji Li to take a look.

It's Keigo Atobe.

She didn't want to pick it up very much, the breakup seemed to drain all her strength, and even lifting her fingers seemed weak.

But finally picked up.

"..."

"Seiichi Yukimura called me."

Atobe Keigo's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Can you not mention him? I have already broken up with him." Jiri Jiudao was a little repelled.

Keigo Atobe squeezed the champagne in his hand, sat on the armchair on the balcony, stared at Gao Yue in the distant sky with his quiet eyes.

"Are you going to escape again? Kushima Kiri."

"Don't preach to me!"

Hearing this sentence, Jiri Kushima, who had a strong reaction, had a short breath for a moment: "The second time, Keigo Atobe. Don't let me hear this word for the third time..."

Keigo Atobe chuckled, as if he was not at all afraid of Kuri Kushima's threat, and continued: "You escaped from Kudo's house and hid in Kudo Shinichi's house. You escaped from Hyotei and ran to Kanagawa. Yukimura broke up, what are you going to do? Transfer to Hokkaido?"

"Scars are left, and it doesn't exist if the mirror is smashed."

"What does it have to do with you?" Kushima Kili clenched his hands tightly, "Yes, I'm a coward. I'm planning to leave Kanagawa, so what."

Her little thoughts seem to be hidden in the eyes of Atobe Keigo, "Don't say anything that will one day be inescapable. The world is so big, I don't believe there is no place to start again."

"Why did you leave Bingdi? Do you think they will talk about you and stop adoring you as before, afraid that you will become an isolated object on campus?"

When Keigo Atobe's voice came over, it was extremely low: "Then have you really seen those who followed you and understood them?"

Kushima Jiri: "Kego Atobe, when did you start to like to do psychological counseling?"

"Is there still less that my uncle has done for you?"

Atobe Keigo sneered: "Go back to Bingdi to have a look if you have time."

"...Go back and see the Ice Emperor ruled by you?"

"See if the Ice Empress after you left is exactly what you imagined."

Keigo Atobe shook the orange liquid in the wine glass, and said lazily, "Look at why Chotaro joined the tennis club."

After saying this, Keigo Atobe hung up.

Jiri Kushima, whose mind was dominated by the breakup emotion just now, suddenly shifted his attention.

Because she is really curious.

The reason for leaving Hyotei is similar to what Keigo Atobe said. She felt that she, who was already considered a loser, would only increase the laughing stock if she stayed, so she might as well just leave.

After thinking for a while, she called Yuji Ninzu, who had the best relationship with Keigo Atobe.

The other party seemed to have fallen asleep, and there was still a sleepy nasal voice when he answered the phone, "Jiu Dao-san...?"

Renzu rubbed his eyes, took off the phone and confirmed the name again.

"It's so late, what's the matter?" He and Jiri Jiudao didn't know each other very well when they were in school, and the reason why they saved the phone was because they had communication at work...although it wasn't a pleasant communication.

"I want to ask you something," Kushima Jiri embraced the doll that was put aside, "What happened after I left Ice Empress?"

Ninja Yuuji: "...?"

He had to get up from the bed, leaned against the head of the bed and turned on the light, rubbed the bridge of his nose and asked, "Why do you ask me?"

"Didn't Jingwu contact you again recently? It would be more convenient for you to ask him."

"...Did Atobe mention me to you?" Kuri Kushima was taken aback for a moment, "He asked me to go back to Hyotei, and let me see why Hochotaro joined the tennis club..."

Ninja Yuuji: "So you found me."

"Well, you are most familiar with Atobe." Kili Kushima said, "So, I want to ask you what happened to Ice Emperor after I transferred to another school."

Also, why did Atobe specifically mention Feng Chotaro to her.

After roughly thinking about the logic of the whole thing, Ninzu Yushi thought about it and said, "After you left," there was actually not much change.This sentence was swallowed by him. What the other party wanted to hear was definitely not the daily content. The meaning of Atobe's words was... He thought about it for a while, and felt that he realized it.

"After you left, the position of chairman of the discipline committee was vacant for two years, and the position of chairman of the student union was vacant for one year."

"What do you mean?"

Yushi Ninzu: "For the election of the chairman of the Discipline Committee, Keigo said that as long as there is someone with a resume that can compare with yours, he will be qualified."

Then it was empty for two years.

"Student Council also means Atobe?"

Shinobu Yushi shrugged his shoulders, put on a helpless smile, and then realized that he could not see the other party on the phone again, and then said: "When he appointed the next student council president, he appointed Kujima Kiri. "

The implication is that after Keigo Atobe graduated, the position of student union chairman was left to her.

And the photo wall of the past student union presidents has always been vacant.

Kushima Jiri felt that he needed to be quiet.

"Are you talking about Keigo Atobe? He looked at me so badly at the time, how could..."

It's okay to be the chairman of the discipline committee, the discipline committee is full of her people.

How could the student union do this?

Although Atobe did donate a lot of money to the school board... Can you do whatever you want by donating money?

Ninja Yuuji refuted her statement.

"Jingwu doesn't evaluate you like this in private."

Although it was a bit unkind, Ninzu Yushi still blamed Keigo Atobe as the culprit for disturbing his sleep, and repeated what he had once praised Kushima Jiri without concealing it.

"Although noisy and annoying, he is still a troublemaker."

"But confident, brave, and elegant and charming as a woman should be."

After hanging up the phone, Jiri Kushima still felt that Ninja was playing tricks on her.

In those words, besides being noisy and annoying and troublesome, is there anything Keigo Atobe can say?

No, none at all.

Although she does not deny that the boast is correct, if it is said that this is what Keigo Atobe said, she 100x100 does not believe it.

Yushi Ninzu didn't make it clear about Hocho Taro's matter in the end.

All he knew was that Feng didn't know how to play tennis when he joined the tennis club.

Kushima Jiri decided to see for himself.

After the breakup, she originally planned to transfer to another school directly, but she chose to go to school normally under the phone command of Keigo Atobe.Yukimura Seiichi came to look for her several times, but she was 'just' away each time, perhaps because she realized that Ji Li was deliberately avoiding him, and then she never came again.

After she arrived at the venue of the Tokyo Tennis Tournament by car, she felt that it was unnecessary to worry about not being able to find a seat at first, so she stood at the entrance and heard the cheering of the ice emperor cheerleading team.

Looks like the game has started?

With this thought in mind, Kuri Kushima came to the competition venue.

It was the first match just now, and Ji Li, who was standing on the outermost edge, recognized the sign on the field: Ice Emperor vs. Fudo Peak.

She knew the two ice emperors on the field, Xiang Hiyue and Ninzu Yushi.

Don't know about the other school.

Kushima Jiri shifted his gaze and looked at the rest area of ​​the players. The first thing he saw was Keigo Atobe with his own flash. He stayed for a second and looked behind, but he didn't find Ho Chotarou.

kindness?

Since Hochotaro couldn't be found, Kuri Kushima called Atobe.

"Hey?"

"Why isn't Feng Chotaro on the field?"

Kili Kushima still feels a little weird talking to Atobe now, probably because what Ninaku Yushi told her that day was too scary.

"Are you at the match?"

Keigo Atobe raised his head to look at the auditorium. Coincidentally, he locked on Kushima Jiri's position at a glance.

Keigo Atobe directly met Ji Li who was in the eye: "...Yes, didn't you let me take a look."

She blinked, unaware that she was standing in the audience area of ​​Fudo Peak.

"Chotaro is going to warm up, I will ask Huadi to take you to him."

After Atobe Keigo hung up the phone, he asked Huadi to bow his head, and whispered something in his ear.

About 5 minutes later, Takahiro Kawaji found Ji Li and took her to the place where Ho Chotaro was warming up.

"Thank you, just take me here."

Seeing Hochotaro, Kuri Kushima politely asked Kawachi to go back first, and he probably didn't want to leave Atobe for too long.

There happened to be a bench to rest in this place, so Ji Li sat on it.

She is wearing a bright yellow dress today, making her look like she is still 14 years old.Because she didn't want to be exposed, she sat behind a tree, and this position would not allow people in front to see who she was at once.

She seemed to have never seen Yukimura playing tennis.

Because of being outside, Kushima Jiri's posture was not particularly relaxed. She was thinking of others while watching Hocho Taro's back warming up.

She has also been to the tennis club a few times. Every time she went, Yukimura Seiichi was smiling and wearing a khaki team uniform, standing on the sidelines like a supervising coach.

...That outfit is really ugly. She doesn't like Yukimura in team uniform very much, so she doesn't go there much.

So even if Yukimura called her occasionally, she didn't agree much. Later, Yukimura probably thought she didn't like to go, so he didn't invite her again.

"Ji Li!"

When Kushima Kili came back to her senses, Hochotaro, who was dripping with sweat and panting, had already arrived in front of her.

"..."

She blinked and said a little strangely, "Long time no see."

A happy smile bloomed on his face, "I, I..." Feng was not short to begin with, but he had grown so fast in the past two years that Ji Li had to raise his head to meet his eyes.

"I sent you a message about the competition yesterday, I thought you still wouldn't come..." Feng Changtaro's innocent eyes clearly revealed an extremely enthusiastic color.

information?

Ji Jiudao imagined that he originally wanted to pull Heifeng Chotarou, but felt that it was not enough to relieve his hatred, so he just blocked him.

In this way, he himself can still send a message, but he cannot see it.It's just that she didn't expect that Feng Chotaro would still send her a message after more than two years.

"Aren't you warming up? Why don't you continue."

"But I want to talk to Ji Li."

The overly straightforward desire easily softened Ji Li's expression, "The game will be played later, if you don't warm up well... Do you want me to see your performance for some ridiculous reason?"

Ho Chotaro's expression tightened.

He said in a panic: "Then, will you watch my game? Did you really come to watch my game?"

"I'll watch you play from the stands."

Kushima Jiri made a promise.

Feng gave her a big smile before going back to her teammates to warm up.

This made Kushima Jili shake her head helplessly, this person has never changed... That's why she felt that what she did was a little too much.She is the leader in the first grade of Ice Emperor. She shows her dislike for Hocho Taro, and others will spontaneously act to exclude him.

Although from her observation after she stopped this behavior, the other party was completely unaware of her isolation.

Accompanying Hocho Taro to warm up was Shindo Ryo, and his attitude towards Ji Li was not very friendly, as you can see from the look in his eyes just now.

This warm-up lasted about 20 minutes, but when Feng came to find her to go to the competition field together, Kujima Kili realized that so much time had passed.

Feng is very serious when doing everything, and this kind of seriousness can easily infect other people. Ji Li does not deny that part of the reason why he can hold on to the music for so long is partly due to Feng.

"Ji Li, do you want to come in and watch the game?"

"Hey, what's the deal with letting students from other schools enter?" Shido Ryo said bluntly.

When he said this, he kept looking at Kili Kushima.

Ji Li, who already has a good temper, didn't care about this at all, but she didn't give Ryo Shishido a look in response.

"I'll just watch the game over there."

She smiled at Hocho Taro, and held out her hand to him.

Hochotaro, who was a little depressed because he said something wrong, immediately lowered his body obediently, so that Ji Li could easily touch his head.

Feng Changtaro blushed a little and said, "Is this okay?"

Shishido Ryo: "...?"

He suddenly felt his breath being held in his chest.

Wake up, Chotaro!How long has this woman been transferred to another school?

This is a habit she and Feng Chotaro grew up with. In the past, when she wanted to comfort Chotaro, she would touch his hair, and when he grew taller, she would lower his head to let her pat him.

This action slowly dissipated the unfamiliarity of the past few years.

"Well, let's go to the game."

Kili Kushima frowned: "Come on, if you lose, I'll tie the strings on your violin to your hair one by one."

Ho Chotaro widened his eyes.

"Haha." Jiri Kushima waved his hand and walked to the auditorium by himself.

What she said just now was also what she said before, but it was just before a big violin competition, Hocho Taro was so nervous that she threatened him like this.

The very simple Feng Xin believed it was true, the fear of the violin being plucked outweighed the nervousness, and finally won the championship.

But even though he is already a high school student, he still believes very simply that if he loses the competition, someone will tear off the strings of his beloved violin one by one.

As soon as the game started, Ho Chotaro took the lead to score a point, without even letting Shishido Ryo get involved, playing like a singles.

Ninja Yuuji: "What happened to Chotaro?"

Looking at the energetic Feng, he was a little confused.

Atobe Keigo glanced thoughtfully at Kuri Kushima standing in the auditorium.

"Hmph, it's not gorgeous. Isn't it, Kawaji?"

Huadi: "WUSHI."

Shinobu Yushi followed Atobe's gaze and looked over, the expression on his face became clear.

It turned out that the owner of the loyal dog came.

Although Hochotaro had been vaguely expelled from Kudao Jiri's queue since he joined the tennis club, every time Kudaoichi made any moves, he was the first to respond to support actions.

And before Jiri Kushima transferred to another school, even in the tennis club, he kept talking about 'Jili said'.

He guessed that the phone call that night was also related, and Atobe probably didn't know yet that he had already told about Kushima Jiri's praise.

Kili Kushima, who was standing in the auditorium, watched the game with great concentration.

Although she can play tennis, she won't be as serious as Feng Changtaro. When he holds the racket, he seems to enter a wonderful atmosphere.

Every swing, every shot, seems to be doing something sacred.

...more focused and happier than when he was playing the violin.

Is it the same when Yukimura Seiichi plays tennis?

This question flashed through Ji Li's mind.

Yukimura Seiichi put down his racket a little tiredly.

With his current strength, playing against the members of the tennis club can only serve as a mentor to them, and basically does not improve himself.

He called Kudo Shinichi.

Although the attitude of the other party is not very good, he is still willing to have a good chat with him.

On the night Ji Li broke up with him, he was thrown into a truck by Kaitou Kidd.The van, which was supposed to be parked there until the next morning, was accidentally driven away.

When Ji Li woke up at that time, she was in the speeding truck. She didn't know the driver's situation, so she could only find a chance to get out of the car and walk alone on the road, stopping the car and the car kept stopping. No one answered the phone.

Now it's not just Ji Li who finds him annoying.

He himself felt disgusted.

On the third day after the incident, Ji Li took everything about her from the apartment.

But the ones they chose to buy together remained in the apartment. He wanted to put them away, but felt that the apartment without those things was too empty, so he finally put them where they were.

The former Yukimura Seiichi could say without hesitation that he knew Kuri Kushima, everything she liked and everything she hated.But now, this self-confidence is shattered a little bit, he doesn't seem to understand Ji Li at all.

He didn't know that Ji Li could play tennis, and he didn't know that she had a good relationship with Atobe Keigo.

He didn't know what Ji Li wanted, and he didn't know whether Ji Li liked the life he maintained.

Everything Yukimura Seichi has done is something anyone can do.

It's normal for him to be hated like this.

July is the Kanto Competition.

Seiichi Yukimura trembled slightly as he picked up the towel. He would not give up tennis, but that didn't mean he had to give up Jiri.

No matter what the result is, he will try it.

His expression gradually became firmer.
