amber affair

There was a slight smile on the serious and handsome face. "This is what I should do, Echizen."

I know that with all my life, I can only be your minister.So, this is the only thing I can do for you.Taking you as an opponent, and giving an opponent the greatest respect, I will accompany you through this year with all my strength, and then send you away from the tennis world.

After the awards show, even though he was exhausted, Ryoma still insisted on accepting the press conference held by the organizer.Because, if you don't say some things today, you may never have another chance.

Therefore, when the reporter asked why he was so desperate to win the four Grand Slam titles this year, Ryoma lightly rested his chin, looked calm, and replied slowly: "This is the promise I owe to that person."

"Excuse me, Echizen, is the person you have been mentioning the same as the senior you once said you love the most?" Ryoma's words were interrupted eagerly. The reporter stood up, fixed his eyes on him, and asked.

The interruption of his words made Ryoma slightly displeased. He frowned slightly, and looked around at the reporters who were also eagerly shining in their eyes. He said softly: "That's right. But there is one thing I was wrong about. I always thought that As long as I get the four Grand Slam championships together, I will fulfill my promise, and I didn’t realize until later that what I promised to that person should be to win four championship trophies within one year.”

"Is that why you endured the pain and won the championship this year? But so what if you finish it? Didn't you say that there is no relationship between you and that person?" Facing Ryoma The reporter answered frankly, but the reporter seemed not satisfied, and continued to ask aggressively.

Remaining silent, not only was his heart hurt by the reporter's question, but also because the cell phone in his pocket kept vibrating, reminding him that he should answer the call.Bowing his head and taking out the phone, looking at the familiar number on the screen that had been deleted but etched in his heart, Ryoma pursed his lips, threw the phone to Tezuka who was sitting beside him, and said softly, "Say I'm not here."

Raising his eyebrows in surprise, Tezuka looked down at the call.He didn't need to think about the call from a stranger, but he knew who it was because he saw Ryoma's suddenly ugly face.Wei Wei hesitated for a moment, then connected the phone, and hearing the deep voice from the other end, Tezuka responded flatly: "He said he wasn't here."

On the other end of the phone, Sanada laughed softly, as if he could see Ryoma's slightly annoyed expression at the moment.After chuckling for a while, Sanada whispered: "It's okay, I know he's here. Please hand the phone to the microphone at your hand, I have something to say."

Looking quietly at the pair of golden cat eyes full of displeasure and confusion in a blink of an eye, a faint smile that seemed sad, half happy, and almost relieved came to the side of Tezuka's pursed lips.Then, he turned the phone into a hands-free state and gently placed it next to the microphone.

Let me send you to happiness, Echizen.The happiness you want, although it came a little too late, but it has come after all.

He raised his hand to signal the reporters to be quiet, and a moment later, a male voice as deep and mellow as coffee, accompanied by a slightly noisy electric sound, flowed through the microphone through the hall that fell silent in an instant.

"I know you're here, Ryoma." As if seeing the pair of amber cat eyes that suddenly widened and the hand that was ready to take the phone, the male voice overflowed with a slight, extremely doting smile, and whispered Whispering: "So, you can't be misbehaving, just sit and listen to me."

"Hello, everyone present here. I am Ryoma's junior high school senior, rival, and the one who he says doesn't love him and thinks his feelings are dirty. My name is Genichiro Sanada."

Amidst the sudden exclamation and the whispers that followed, the voice paused for a moment, as if thinking about his own words, and then continued to ring: "The first time I saw Ryoma, In the Kanto Tournament in the third year of junior high school, he played as a substitute against Hiyoshi Waka of Ice Emperor Academy. On that day, Tezuka lost to Atobe of Ice Emperor because of a shoulder injury, so the outcome of the two schools was locked. On the final bench.

Ryoma surprised me. As a small first-year rookie, he was able to handle so much pressure and win the victory. It is very difficult not to pay attention to him.Therefore, I always remember every move he made that day in the competition, and I also believe that in that year's Kanto Competition and even the National Competition, the Youth Academy represented by Ryoma will be Lihai University's strongest competitor.

The second time I met Ryoma was at the gate of Jinjing General Hospital. Even though it was raining so heavily, I was foolishly refusing to go in.Except for tennis, Ryoma is very confused about many things. I believe everyone knows this very well. "There was a trace of helplessness in the man's deep and mellow voice, and it was more doting, as if facing a lover, he murmured: "Because of the rain, this little idiot fell ill, but he still clamored to beat me. "

"Shut up, Sanada-senpai!" Huo Ran stood up, with obvious displeasure in his golden cat eyes, Ryoma stared at his flickering phone with hatred, thinking whether he should deduct this to expose his old background phone.Look, the reporters and ministers are laughing!

"Okay, let's not talk about those past events." After a moment of low laughter, the man's mellow voice gradually became hoarse, with a touch of pain that penetrated his heart. "I'm sorry, Ryoma. It's because I didn't take your thoughts into consideration. I just stubbornly believed that it's best for you to let go of you and let you go to AP. That's why I made you suffer for so long."

"However, how can I not love you, Ryoma. For more than ten years, I think of you every day, every day I think of the time we were together, and wonder if it would be better if I tied you by my side and didn't let you go? Actually , I am more worried than you, I am worried that this relationship is dirty for you, I can't let such a dirty relationship stain you, so I can push you away, even if it is painful, it doesn't matter. "

The cat's eyes gradually dimmed, biting its lip tightly, Ryoma buried his face deeply in his palm, and let out a mournful cry like a small animal.

Why are you talking about this at this time, Sanada-senpai?I was so eager to hear you say those words, but you have no other expression except indifference, why do you say it now.After I finally decided to forget you and never bother you again!

As if he could see the painful expression of the person he loved so much at this moment, the man remained silent for a long time, only his more rapid breathing echoed quietly in the silent venue through the microphone.It was so oppressive, so painful, it weighed heavily on everyone's heart, as if breathing was a luxury.

Has their prince walked all the way with such pain for so many years?And the person he loves so much, what kind of courage is needed to push him away decisively and let him go to AP.

Such feelings, named after love, are already too superficial.That is, only when we understand each other and think about each other wholeheartedly will we bear the pain recklessly, just to leave the best for each other.

"Ryoma, I love you. Genichiro Sanada has been in love with you since he was 15 years old. It has not changed in the past ten years and will never change." Sighed deeply, the man's voice seemed to be trembling General, with pain that could not fade away, said in a hoarse voice: "It will not change from now on. Ryoma, raise your head and tell me that you still love me."

Holding his breath, Ryoma lowered his head, fingers deeply embedded in his palm, but stubbornly refused to raise his head, until the reporter's exclamation and the sound of footsteps that even the noise could not cover up were heard in the audience.One step, another step, the sound of steady footsteps seemed to hit the heart, and as it approached, Ryoma's heart beat like thunder.

Then, he saw a callused hand appearing in front of his eyes, and he opened his palm to him.The familiar voice that has never faded from memory rang softly in my ears: "The cherry blossoms in Kanagawa are beautiful, Ryoma can give me a chance, let me take you to see them?"

Tears finally couldn't hold back and slid down, dripping drop by drop onto the rough palm, splashing the heartache of a palm.She raised her head abruptly, and her amber cat eyes stared fixedly at the man who smiled gently at him, her snow-white teeth clenched her lips, stubbornly not letting herself choke up.

"You are still like this. Didn't I tell you not to bite your lips like this? It will break." The rough fingertips gently stroked the soft lips to prevent him from abusing himself any longer. Sanada sighed softly, She simply reached out to hold the back of his head and pressed him to herself, and kissed him tenderly.

In such a familiar atmosphere, Ryoma forgot to breathe, and could only stare at the dark eyes in front of him with wide eyes, letting the warm lips rub lightly on his own.It wasn't until the hot tip of his tongue began to tentatively touch his gums that Ryoma felt like waking up from a dream.There was a slight shyness in the golden eyes, but he couldn't hide the joy that gradually became stronger. He hummed softly in his usual proud voice: "You are still far behind, Sanada-senpai!"

What answered him was Sanada's slender fingers caressingly on the exquisite face with a hint of blush, and his dark eyes full of unmistakable affection. "March is the best time for cherry blossoms in Kanagawa. Will Ryoma come back then?"

"Maybe, anyway, I can't play tennis anymore. I will go there when I have time after I come back from my trip with Fuji-senpai." Leaving behind an ambiguous answer, Ryoma got up and looked around at everyone present with the calmest eyes , said flatly: "Today, taking this opportunity, I want to tell everyone that I am quitting the tennis world."

Amidst the uproar in the audience, Tezuka slowly stood up, his slender
