amber affair

Say goodbye and leave with Sanada.

Walking out of the gate of the hospital, the sky above the head is already full of stars.The direction back to Kanagawa was different from the direction Ryoma was going home. After Sanada stood there and thought for a while, he asked in a soft voice to the impatient boy, "Are you hungry, do you want to eat something?"

Tilting his head, looking at the faintly blurred handsome face under the dim street lights, Ryoma asked in a low voice, "Isn't it possible that you can't go back?" For some reason, he still wanted to stay with the Deputy Minister Li Hai in front of him for a while longer , I don't want to say goodbye here.

"No, the last bus back to Kanagawa is at nine o'clock, and there's still time." A faint smile spread from the corner of his lips, softening his condensed black eyes, and Sanada suggested: "There is a good ramen restaurant nearby, let's go."

There is a ramen restaurant nearby, Ryoma heard from Yukimura, and it is said that the taste there is very good.After the fierce competition, his stomach was already protesting; therefore, he narrowed his cat's eyes in satisfaction, and smiled with pursed lips: "Okay."

Neither of them was a talkative person, they just walked silently one after the other until they reached the ramen restaurant on the corner of the street.Ordering signature ramen for each other, taking advantage of the owner's busy time, Sanada quietly looked at the boy opposite, but still couldn't find a topic to break the silence that had been going on since just now.

And Ryoma was indeed a little tired, and he didn't bother to talk. In the small ramen restaurant, there was only a slight sound from the owner when he was busy.

When the steaming ramen was delivered, Sanada pursed his lips and watched the boy staring at the seaweed in the bowl like an enemy, and asked softly, "Don't you like seaweed?"

"It's annoying." Muttering in a low voice, regardless of whether Sanada agreed or not, Ryoma picked up the chopsticks and picked all the seaweed in the bowl into Sanada's bowl before burying his head in eating.

There was a faint but sincere smile on his lips, seeing the boy eating so contentedly, Sanada suddenly felt a little hungry.Slowly eating his own portion of ramen, his eyes kept hovering over the delicate face, flashing unconscious pampering.

"It tastes really good." After eating all the ramen, even the soup, Ryoma licked his lips contentedly, and smiled at Sanada with cat eyes. "Hey, will you come to my game tomorrow?"

"I'm not sure, but I'll try to come if I'm free."

Kanagawa is still a short distance from Tokyo, and Tachibana is also nervously preparing for the finals, so even if he wants to watch the Ryoma competition, Sanada will not forget his duty as a deputy minister.

Looking up at the slightly frowning boy, Sanada smiled faintly when he saw the corner of his mouth covered in soup.Pulling out a piece of tissue paper, he raised his hand to wipe off the stains for him, and his deep voice lingered with a hint of doting: "How come you eat it all over your mouth."

"Hmm." The rough fingertips touched his cheek inadvertently, making Ryoma's face turn red slightly, and he lowered his head and muttered in a low voice, "I'm not a child, I can wipe myself."

He's obviously still a child who hasn't grown up, yet he refuses to admit it.Looking at the boy quietly like this, Sanada seemed to have forgotten that compared with the boy in front of him, he was only two years older, and he just wanted to give him more love.Until they realized that they had stared blankly at each other for a long time, and the time had moved forward by another ten minutes.

After getting up to pay the bill, Sanada looked back at the boy who was still sitting at the table stupidly, and said softly, "I'll take you home." The clock on the wall had pointed to eight o'clock in the evening, but he didn't want to say goodbye to the boy just yet, I still want to spend more time with him; besides, it's so late, he doesn't feel relieved to go home alone like this, doesn't he?

"If you miss the last train, you won't be able to go back." In my heart, I was secretly happy because Sanada didn't say goodbye to me immediately, but there was an arrogant look on his face, Ryoma raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of laughter in his eyes .

Such an awkward and cute expression made Sanada's condensed and serious face smile slightly, and it also made him forget that in this short afternoon today, he smiled more than usual in a month.Patting the brim of Ryoma's hat with his slender fingers, he whispered: "No."

"My house is far away from here." The boy raised his eyebrows and smiled proudly, picked up his ball bag, and walked away regardless of whether Sanada followed.

Along the way, they still hurried on in silence, but a short distance soon came to an end.Standing at the door of Ryoma's house, looking down at the boy who was staring at him with a pair of big cat eyes, Sanada habitually raised his hand, tapped the brim of the boy's hat twice, and said softly: "Go in. Rest early, tomorrow Play well."

"If you're free, you want to come and watch the game." A bit of reluctance suddenly floated in his heart, causing Ryoma to unconsciously reach out and grab Sanada's lapel, and muttered: "I'm going to beat you in the final."

"If you have the strength, I'll wait." As if knowing that it would never end, Sanada reached out and gently grasped the young man's thin wrist, pushed him towards the door, turned and left.

(8)

The long-awaited final of the Kanto Competition finally arrived, but the sun hid in the thick clouds early in the morning, and the pattering rain gradually poured down before the scheduled time for the competition.

Hiding in the gazebo near the arena with the other main candidates and waiting for the rain to stop, Ryoma sipped the Fanta in his hand with a gloomy expression on his face.

Really, it was hard to wait until the finals, finally to become opponents with Sanada in the first singles, but the match was delayed, which made the proud kitty very dissatisfied.

In the rain, coach Ryuzaki came slowly with an umbrella.Looking around at the expectant young faces, she sighed and said the news they least wanted to hear: "Because of the rain, the competition organizing committee decided to postpone the finals to next week. Go back to school now Keep training."

The little hand clenched unconsciously, and squeezed the empty Fanta jar into shape. Ryoma frowned, stared at the gloomy sky, and cursed softly, "Damn rain!" The match with that person will be dragged on for another week, and he doesn't want to wait, and he doesn't want to wait any longer.

Walking slowly at the end of the line, hearing the seniors complaining or playing with laughter, Ryoma suddenly felt that it would be a mistake for him to go back to school now.Pausing slightly, seeing that everyone had passed the corner, he turned around and ran quickly in the direction of Li Hai's assembly.

The one-person training ground under the shade of the trees was quiet, and the players of Lihai University had already left under the arrangement of Sanada, leaving him standing alone under the awning doing serve practice.The sharp black eyes are locked on the water droplets dripping from the treetops. The moment the water droplets fall, he throws the ball and swings the racket, and his posture is standard and exemplary.The bright yellow ball rushed straight like an off-string arrow, knocking the water droplets into flying sprays.

Picking up the tennis ball again, the slight sound of the ball touching the ground suddenly came to my ears.Raising his eyebrows slightly, he turned his head away. He was not surprised to see the petite boy in the blue and white team uniform of Qingxue staring at him provocatively with a pair of golden cat eyes.

His lips pursed slightly, but Sanada didn't make a sound, and turned his head to continue the practice just now.The two bright yellow balls smashed into the water droplets dripping from the treetops respectively. A slight smile flashed in the boy's eyes, and without looking at Sanada, he bent down and took out the balls from the basket.

Sighing lightly, Sanada reflected on himself again, if he could know what the boy was thinking at the moment, maybe it wouldn't be like this situation where he couldn't even find what to say.

Since there is nothing to say, let's continue practicing. When Echizen wants to speak, he will naturally know what he wants.Sanada thought so, so he continued to remain silent, tossing the ball over his head and swinging hard with his right hand.

At the same time as he was serving the ball, the boy also moved, and the target was no longer the raindrops dripping from the treetops, but heading towards Sanada's ball.It knocked Sanada's ball into the air, and then knocked into the rain that happened to drop, turning into fine sprays and mixing with the heavy rain falling from the sky.

Jian Mei frowned slightly, and Sanada looked at the young man who was looking at him with raised eyebrows, with a proud smile flashing in his eyes, and sighed: "What do you want to do?"

Raising his hand and lowering the brim of his hat, Ryoma stared at Sanada Kurohanxing's eyes with blazing eyes, and his pink soft lips raised a sweet arc: "Today's game has been postponed."

The game has been postponed, of course Sanada knew it, and also faintly felt that he couldn't bear it, so he stayed here to practice alone, didn't he?Although Sanada understood what the boy meant by saying that, he was still not sure.So, he pursed his lips and asked in a deep voice, "So what?"

"Can you endure until next week?" Ryoma felt a little annoyed seeing the other party's still indifferent expression.Why is this person so rigid?His fine eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he let out a low hum of dissatisfaction. He said provocatively, "How about a game now?"

To be honest, Ryoma is looking forward to today's game.He really wanted to know, what kind of strength does this Deputy Minister Li Hai, who is always more serious than his own minister, have?What kind of strength made Li Haida known as the king and won the national competition for two consecutive years.

"Playing privately before the game, it will be very troublesome if it is found out." It is forbidden to compete privately between players before the game. Sanada knows this rule better than anyone, but when he sees those amber golden eyes full of anticipation, he Can't help being a little shaken.

"Are you going to fight or not?" The kitten, who has always been proud and rebellious, is not so good-tempered. He raised his eyes and stared impatiently at Sanada's cold expression.
