amber affair

In unconcealable pain, he closed his eyes tightly and sighed hoarsely: "No matter how much you say, it's not as good as letting him think clearly. You know this."

"Why didn't you give him the substitute position?" Acknowledging that what Tezuka said was true, Sanada looked away and asked indifferently: "Coach God also said, let Echizen be a substitute, why do you want to block it?"

"Because I have to confirm whether he is qualified to sit on the bench." Looking up at Sanada quietly, Tezuka's calm eyes were a little misty. "If he can't even ignite his fighting spirit and give him a substitute position, so what? He may not be able to play. Such a substitute, Echizen does not need."

That's right, if he can't ignite his fighting spirit, what if he is given a substitute position?With his face lowered, Sanada remained silent for a long time until he heard familiar footsteps in his ears.

Walking under the streetlight, Ryoma looked at Sanada in astonishment, and unconsciously raised his voice: "Sanada-senpai, why are you here?" Didn't you just leave, didn't you leave without saying a word to me?

Looking at the delicate little face with obvious fingerprints, Sanada's eyes were a little painful, he couldn't help but caressed his red and swollen cheeks, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Didn't you already go home, why are you here again?"

Such a gentle touch made Ryoma feel aggrieved.Suppressing the soreness in his heart, he glanced timidly at Tezuka who was staring at him, and muttered softly: "I'm here to find the minister, I hope the minister can give me a chance."

The night in early autumn was a bit cold. Seeing Ryoma in thin clothes, Tezuka sighed softly, and pushed open the door: "Come in and talk. Sanada, come in together."

"No, I can do it here." Responding indifferently, Sanada looked at the amber cat eyes staring at him lightly, and said softly: "Go, I will wait for you to come out, and I will take you back later."

It was just a short ten minutes of waiting, but to Sanada, it seemed as long as a century.Seeing that petite figure appear at the door of Tezuka's house, he walked up to meet him quickly, gently draped the coat in his hand on his thin and thin shoulders, his eyes lingered on the delicate face that couldn't conceal his joy. "Tezuka agreed?"

"Well, the minister said that there is still a substitute position, but whether you can give it to me depends on my performance." Looking up at Sanada's deep black eyes, his soft mouth slightly raised, Ryoma said softly: " I will work hard, I will decide on this substitute position."

The corners of her tightly pursed lips raised slightly, and her rough palms gently rubbed her still red and swollen cheeks. Sanada sighed softly and said, "If I had known now, why bother? Alright, let's go back."

Squinting to enjoy Sanada's gentle caress, the cat's eyes that regained its usual expression were scorching and looking up at the slightly soft and icy handsome face, Ryoma whispered: "It's too late to go back to Kanagawa, right?"

"Yes, so I can only disturb you at your house for one night." Bending down to look at the young boy's delicate face, Sanada smiled slightly, and softened his voice: "Will you welcome me?"

"No way." Reaching out his arms tightly around Sanada's sturdy waist, pressing his slightly cold cheeks against his warm chest, Ryoma smiled softly, "It doesn't matter how long you live, Sanada-senpai .”

Embracing the young boy's petite body tightly, Sanada looked up at the starry night sky and smiled with relief.Fortunately, he was fine. At that time, he couldn't find him and his heart was tightened. It wasn't until now that he was in his arms that he was able to calm down.

(29)

Sitting in the simple and tidy living room of Echizen's house, Sanada's expression was as serious as before, and he answered every question of Ryoma's parents respectfully in his words.

And it was such a rigorous and serious conversation that made Nanjiro, who was used to a carefree attitude, feel extremely uncomfortable. He simply stood up to tease his son who was doing batting practice against the wall in the yard, and threw Sanada to him. He is full of affection for Lunzi.

"I'm really sorry, Sanada-kun. I asked you to send Ryoma back so late, which delayed your return home." Putting the peeled fruit in front of Sanada, Rinko's soft face had an undisguised smile , looked with affection at the respectful and serious boy in front of him.

"You're being polite. I'm the one who said I'm sorry to bother you again." Bowing slightly, Sanada responded politely, but his eyes always slipped unconsciously to the petite figure in the front yard.

Seeing Sanada's every move, Rinko naturally did not ignore the shallow nostalgia in those eyes as dark as midnight.She smiled calmly and motioned Sanada to taste the fruit. She said softly: "Speaking of which, Ryoma has always mentioned you. Our Ryoma is very slow to everything except tennis, and it is rare to hear him talking Mention other people in front of family members."

Lunzi knew that this calm and cold boy cared about his son.Otherwise, his eyes would not soften when he saw Ryoma.However, there's nothing wrong with that. Some people love their stubborn and awkward child, which means that Ryoma at least has something to like, doesn't it?

Hearing Rinko's gentle voice, Sanada's face became slightly hot, and he lowered his head uncomfortably.Out of the corner of his eyes, he secretly looked at the smiling Lunzi, his beautiful face was full of calm, which made him think of his parents involuntarily.When the parents looked at Echizen, they also had the same expression. Is it possible to think that neither Echizen's parents nor my own parents cared about being the same sex and suppressed anything between them?

"Sanada-kun, Ryoma has been very stubborn since he was a child. If there is anything that makes you angry, please bear with me." Looking at Sanada's slightly red handsome face, Rinko felt more and more that he liked it very much. This condensed and serious boy.Calm and polite, but not too rigid, Ryoma is very lucky to be cared about by such an outstanding child.

"Where, Echizen is actually very good..." Shocked that what he said was likely to be misunderstood by Rinko, Sanada swallowed all the words abruptly, and glanced at Rinko who looked at him with slightly raised eyebrows, Turning his face away, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"Is Ryoma very good? No way, my uncle often said that Ryoma is just like Karubin, a wild kitten." Walking into the living room with the freshly brewed tea, Nanako listened to Sanada's expression to her. I couldn't help laughing at my brother's evaluation.

Putting the tea in front of Sanada, she couldn't hide her curiosity and looked at the boy in front of her who was said to be only two years older than her cousin. Nanako and Rinko looked at each other amusedly, and asked softly, "What does Sanada-kun mean?" Does that mean Ryoma is very obedient in front of you?"

However, I can't think of how my cousin looks very good.At home, I have always been used to the tense relationship between Uncle Nanjiro and Ryoma. Does that stubborn and awkward child sometimes behave well?

Nanako's joke made Sanada feel even more uncomfortable. He picked up the teacup and silently sipped the fragrant tea, carefully collecting the Ryoma family's evaluation of the child in his heart.

It turned out that Echizen was not only so proud and stubborn in front of outsiders, but also at home.It's just that such a proud and awkward temperament won't make people feel a little bit annoying, they will only think that it's his cuteness.

His eyes uncontrollably turned to the front yard, looking at the cute little boy with a tight delicate face saying something to his father, the corners of his tightly pursed lips raised slightly unconsciously.

Seeing everything in his eyes, Lunzi once again affirmed that this young man who is not good at words likes his son.Sanada has been to the house three times in total, and Rinko will make new discoveries every time she comes.From the indifferent expression at the beginning to the uncontrollable attention now, it means that he gradually understands his mood.

If Ryoma and Sanada are allowed to keep dating, the future of these two children will be happy.Thinking of this, Rinko stood up, and smiled gently at Sanada: "It's getting late, Sanada-kun should go to rest earlier. I didn't know you were coming, and I didn't have time to prepare the room. I have to wrong you and Ryoma to squeeze together tonight." gone."

Standing up and bowing politely to Rinko, Sanada said in a low voice with a hint of apology, "Excuse me, Aunt Rinko."

"Sanada-kun go take a shower first, I put the pajamas that Uncle Nanjiro didn't wear in the bathroom." Looking at Sanada's serious expression with a smile, Nanako got up and walked to the front yard.After walking a few steps, she turned her head and winked at Sanada, and said with a smile, "Don't worry Ryoma, he will be sleepy soon, and he won't quarrel with Uncle Nanjiro again."

Nanako had a playful expression, which made Sanada feel slightly embarrassed, as if all her feelings were clearly placed in front of the other party.Not only Nanako, but also each other's parents always have this kind of demeanor, which makes him feel suspicious that he has been seen through long ago.

Responding vaguely, Sanada lowered his head and walked quickly to the bathroom, afraid of hearing words that would make his heart beat wildly.

Sure enough, as Nanako said, when Sanada finally adjusted his mood and walked into Ryoma's bedroom, the petite boy was already curled up on the bed with his wet hair on his head, staring at him with a pair of golden cat eyes.

"Why don't you dry your hair?" Sanada closed the door behind his back, and Sanada stood at the door and looked at the small bedroom.This was the first time he entered the boy's bedroom, and it was a little messy, but the air was filled with the sweet milky fragrance that only belonged to the boy.Sudden shortness of breath, trying to maintain his usual condensed expression, Sanada walked over slowly and sat down gently on the edge of the bed.

Passing the dry towel beside him to Sanada's hand without saying a word, Ryoma leaned on his warm and strong arm, like a lazy cat curled up beside him, lazily said: "Wipe my hair for me
