[free!] confession

Ju Zhenqin woke up before the alarm went off. He quickly got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. When he came out, the alarm just rang.I turned off the alarm, opened the window, and the air-conditioning rushed in quickly. It was snowy outside, and it snowed again last night, but it was just a little snow, and it has stopped now. The weather seems to be very good.Tachibana Makoto stretched her waist and began to put on her clothes.

Tachibana Makoto does not live in the student dormitory, because the school is a bit far away from where he works. He is now working as a coach assistant in a swimming club called "Aoyou". The place where Seto Haruka trained is not far away.

Tachibana Makoto is staying at Grandma Morita's house.Grandma Morita's children are not in Tokyo, they all work in other cities, so she lives here alone, and they are only free to come back during the holidays.Originally, her children wanted to find someone to take care of the grandmother. Although her daily life was not a problem, some emergencies would inevitably occur, so when Ju Zhenqin came to find a house to live in, they were very happy.This boy is tall and handsome, warm and considerate. With him here, their mother would not be lonely, so they still wanted to pay Tachibana Makoto, but he flatly refused. The two sides couldn't stop arguing, and finally Grandma Morita spoke.

"If you talk about money, you're not a family anymore."

In the end, both parties were relieved that Tachibana Makoto didn't have to pay the rent, and the Morita family didn't have to pay him.Tachibana Makoto lived in Morita's house in this way. He lived in the guest room on the second floor, and Grandma Morita lived on the first floor.

Tachibana Makoto checked the window again with her bag on her back to make sure it was closed before dragging her small suitcase out.

"Grandma Morita, I'm leaving."

Grandma Morita was feeding the cat, when she heard the sound, she turned her head and smiled at him, "Makoto is going back."

"Yes, I'm going back. I've closed the windows. You don't need to cook with gas for the next two days. There are food in the refrigerator. It's enough for the next two days. You don't go out to buy any more. Mr. Morita and the others Are you coming back the day after tomorrow?"

"Yeah, they'll be back the day after tomorrow, didn't I tell you?"

"I just want to confirm again." Tachibana Makoto smiled a little embarrassedly.

"I know, go and pick up Xiaoyao quickly, or it will be too late. Remember to say hello to Mr. Orange and Mrs. Orange for me, and wish them a happy new year."

"Okay, I must remember, then I will go out."

"it is good."

Nanase Haruka had been invited by scouts from several universities after the last national competition, and he chose to come to Tokyo without much thought.Hazuki Nagisa and Ryuzaki Rei still had a year to graduate, and Matsuoka Rin went to Australia again, but luckily Makoto was there.Nanase Haruka felt that although he had found his own way, he might not be able to go on without friends and partners. Now that Makoto is with him, he feels at ease and feels that everything is fine.

Tachibana Makoto rushed to Nanase Haruka's dormitory, and it was Miko Shiba Kiyojuro who opened the door with a yawn.Miko Shiba Kiyojuro is now an active player, and Nanase Haruka is still in the reserve force, not an official player. He can become a full-time player after getting good results in the national competition next summer.

"It's Makoto, come in quickly, come to look for Haruka?"

"Yes, senior. We made an appointment to go home together today, is Haruka still in the room?"

Miko Shiba Kiyojuro finally woke up. He scratched his head: "Should... be here. Sorry, I was too tired from training yesterday, and I slept too hard, so I didn't pay attention."

Ju Zhenqin hurriedly shook her hands and said, "Senior, don't say anything, I'm the one who interrupted you."

Miko Shiba Kiyojuro had already walked to the door of Nanase Haruka's room and knocked: "Haruka, Makoto is here, are you still up?"

Their dormitory is a small apartment with two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom. Nanase Haruka was originally alone. When Miko Shiba Kiyojuro heard about it, he moved in with him by himself, saying that he was helping to support the younger generation. They happened to be good at freestyle swimming. .

No one answered, Miko Shiba Kiyojuro scratched his head again: "Haruka? Are you getting dressed? We're going in."

There is no one in the room, and the luggage has been packed, just a backpack, placed at the foot of the bed.Tachibana Makoto touched the quilt, it was already cold.

"It seems that he has already woken up. He should have gone to have breakfast. Why didn't he ask me to join him?"

Tachibana Makoto turned around and smiled apologetically at Miko Chai Kiyojuro: "Haruka may not be used to doing this, senior will tell him about it later, he will remember."

"Then you just wait in the house now, he should be back soon, and I'm going to have breakfast too, have you eaten? What do you want me to bring you?"

"No, there's no need for seniors, I've already eaten, I'd better go find him."

Tachibana Makoto put the small suitcase and her own backpack next to Nanase Haruka's backpack while talking.

"Oh, that's good, our cafeteria is on the left of the swimming pool."

"I see, then, I'll go first."

"go Go."

Tachibana Makoto ran to the swimming pool, and sure enough, the door had already been opened, and Nanase Haruka was lying on her back on the water, eyes closed, floating leisurely in his direction.

Nanase Haruka felt the light above his head dim, and he opened his eyes.

"Good morning, Xiaoyao."

"Everyone says don't add the word 'small'."

"Sorry, sorry." Tachibana smiled and held out her hand to him.

Looking at this smiling face that has remained unchanged for more than ten years, Haruka Nanase felt that his apology was not sincere at all, but she still held his hand.Because Tachibana Makoto ran over, her palms were very warm.Tachibana Makoto found Nanase Haruka staring at their hands in a daze.

"remote?"

"too slow."

"Eh?" Ju Zhenqin was stunned for half a second before smiling, "Sorry, did I keep you waiting?"

Nanase Haruka came back to her senses, glanced at Tachibana Makoto lightly, and turned her head: "It's nothing."

Ju Makoto smiled softly: "Then go and change quickly, or you won't be able to catch the plane."

Nanase Haruka took out her hand and walked to the locker room.

"Remember to change your swimming trunks!" Ju Makoto shouted to his back.

"I only have swimming trunks."

"Yao..." Tachibana Makoto supported her forehead.

Because Nanase Haruka always eats mackerel for breakfast, they unfortunately missed the plane when they arrived at the airport.

Nanase Haruka sat in M's store, guarding Tachibana Makoto's small suitcase.

"I've already changed my ticket, we may have to stay in the county for one night tonight."

"Feel sorry."

"You don't need to apologize. Ah, yes, look." Tachibana Makoto took out two breads and two bottles of drinks from the plastic bag in his hand, and he handed the two breads to him.

"It's mackerel-flavored. You should be able to eat some of this, right? You ate too little of that this morning, and you'll be deficient in nutrition."

Nanase Haruka stared at the bread for one second, two seconds, three seconds...

Ju Maqin couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed one, tore open the package, and put it to his mouth: "Smell it, it really smells like mackerel fish."

Nanase Haruka moved her nose, sniffed, and then reached out to take the bread and began to eat it.

"I still have it here, we can eat it on the plane later."

"generally."

Ju Makoto straddled his shoulders, and said helplessly: "It's a miracle to find the mackerel flavor, so don't be picky, Yao."

"Crap."

Ju Maqin smiled, said nothing more, put the drink in the tube, handed it to him, and watched him eat.

It was already [-] o'clock in the evening when they arrived in Tottori Prefecture. Although there was still a tram to go back to Iwatobi City, the road conditions were not very good because of the snow. It was already late when they got home, and the family had already rested, so Tachibana Makoto and the others decided to stay in the county for one night and go back tomorrow morning.

The author has something to say: try it...

☆、Chapter 02

Although they didn't get up late today, it was almost noon when they returned to Yanyuan City. Ju Lian and Ju Lan stood at the intersection early and waited. Both of them were wearing thick clothes, like two rice balls.

Seeing Ju Zhenqin get off the car, they immediately jumped on it.

"elder brother!"

"Brother! Welcome back!"

The two held Ju Zhenqin's leg each, and Ju Zhenqin let go of the small suitcase in her hand, squatted down, and hugged the two of them tightly in her arms.

"Lian, Lan, I'm back."

Nanase Haruka also got out of the car, and the sharp-eyed Lan immediately let go of Tachibana Makoto and rushed towards Nanase Haruka.

"Xiaoyao! Welcome back!"

Julan put her arms around Nanase Haruka's legs, raised her head, looked at him with bright eyes, Nanase Haruka bent down and hugged her.

"I am back."

Tachibana happily hugged Haruka Nanase's neck tightly, put her head between his necks, and rubbed against him.

"Xiao Lian wants to hug too." Ju Lian, who put her arms around Ju Zhenqin's neck, twisted her body to squeeze into his arms.

"Hahaha, good."

He picked up Tachibana with his right hand, pulled the small suitcase with his left, and walked behind Nanase Haruka and the others.

"Did Lian eat too much meat and gained weight?"

"No, Xiaolian has grown taller! I have grown two centimeters!"

"Xiaolan has also grown taller, by three centimeters! One centimeter taller than Lian, brother!"

"That's because girls grow faster than boys. This is what Makita-sensei said. It's not that I'm not good. I eat vegetables well. I'm not picky eaters, bro."

"Yes, yes, Lian and Lan are very good, brother knows."

Already at the door of Tachibana Makoto's house, Nanase Haruka put down Tachibana gently, and Tachibana still put her arms around his neck: "Would Xiaoyao have lunch with us?"

"No, I have to go back first."

"Lan, let Xiaoyao go back to put his luggage first. There are still many days left for our vacation, we will invite him to our house to play after Xiaoyao has a rest, okay?"

Ju Lan reluctantly let go, and said to Nanase Haruka, "Then Xiaoyao must remember to come."

"En." Nanase Haruka nodded.

"I'm going back." Nanase Haruka said to Tachibana Makoto.

"it is good."

Waking up early the next morning, Tachibana Makoto habitually opened the window and looked towards the stone steps. Sure enough, Nanase Haruka was already there, and he was squatting to tease the little white milk cat. He seemed to hear the sound of opening the window , they also looked over.

"Yao, wait for me for a minute, and it will be ready soon." Ju Zhenqin quickly put on her shoes and socks, took out a few coins from her wallet, pasted the written post-it note on the refrigerator, and went out.

They ran a lap along the coastline. There were no pedestrians along the way, and a few cars passed by occasionally.The sea breeze is blowing, with the smell of the sea, it is the taste of hometown, which is really comforting.

Tachibana Makoto took Nanase Haruka to eat breakfast. Nanase Haruka only loves mackerel. Other foods, whether sweet or salty, are the same to him. They are just things that can fill the stomach, so Tachibana Makoto delivers He will basically not refuse the food that comes.Because they were going out to exercise, they wore less clothes, and they couldn't help shivering when they came out of the store early after eating. However, the two of them are in good physical condition, and they won't get sick if they blow a little wind, but they will feel cold.

Even in winter, Nanase Haruka can soak in cold water. Although it is cold, it can be ignored because he only cares about water.But it's different to be blown by cold wind all the time. Nanase Haruka doesn't like it. Without water, it will take away moisture and dry out. He shrank his neck and felt a little better.

Tachibana Makoto was by his side, approaching him naturally, shortening the distance between the two, their arms were almost touching, he just wanted to help him out of the wind.

"That's right, Haru."

"what?"

"Last night Nagisa called, and I told him that we have come back, and he said he wanted to get together with us, are you free these days?"

"Have."

"Well, I'll tell him later, let's get together sometime and let him call Lian and the others, but where would be better..."

"Go where you can swim."

Three black lines appeared around Ju Zhenqin's head: "It's rare to have a holiday, so you can't swim for a day? Can't you just take a good rest?"

"No." Haruka Nanase arrogantly turned her head aside.

"Oh, okay, then let's go to Coach Sasabe, I don't know if the club will be open, I'll call back and ask, if he's closed..."

"No, I haven't swam for two days. I have to swim today. If his house can't do it, I'll go to another house."

"……I see."

Goro Sasabe's club is indeed closing because he is busy dating Amabo Miho-sensei.However, he generously gave Tachibana Makoto the key. After all, he decided to buy this swimming club after watching their game.

But Tianfang Meifan knew that they were back, so she was unwilling to go on a date with Coach Sasabe, and she wanted to have a party with them. She felt that she had to play with young people to stay young.Coach Sasabe wants to cry but has no tears. It's hard to take a vacation. His carefully planned date...

The author has something to say: There may be another update...

☆、Chapter 03

Zhenqin's mother was tying a tie for Zhenqin's father, and Ju Zhenqin was helping her younger brothers and sisters put on their coats, when the doorbell rang suddenly.

"Brother, I'm going to open the door!"

Ju Zhenqin just helped Ju Lan button the last button.

"it is good."

"Ah, it's Xiaoyao! Good morning~"

"Good morning."

"Mom and Dad, Xiaoyao is here~"

"Xiaoyao is here, come in quickly, Makoto and the others will recover soon, just wait a little longer."

"Auntie, Uncle, good morning."

"Good morning, Xiaoyao. Huh? Why don't you wear a scarf, Xiaoyao."

"Huh? Oh, I forgot."

"You can't do this, Xiaoyao, you'll catch a cold." Mama Zhenqin put her hips on her hips, deliberately showed a stern look, and turned to Zhenqin and said, "Little Zhenqin, go and get a scarf for Xiaoyao."

"Okay, I'll get it now." Ju Zhenqin got up and ran upstairs to her room.

"Take the red one!"

"Know it!"

"Xiaoyao, can you tie my shoelaces for me? I can't reach it with my hands." Sitting on the floor next to the shoe cabinet, Tachibana asked Nanase Haruka's trousers, looking up.

"can."

"Lian wants too!"

"can."

Julian happily went to the shoe cabinet to take out her shoes, and sat next to Julan. He put on the shoes by himself first, and waited for Nanase Haruka to help him.

The Tachibana couple, who were finally dressed and ready to go out, noticed the situation here.

"Lian, Lan."

The bodies of the two children trembled at the same time.

"Didn't Mom teach you how to tie your shoelaces? How can you ask Xiaoyao to help? You have to do what you can do by yourself. Xiaoyao, let them tie their shoelaces by themselves."

"It's all good."

"Thank you Xiaoyao!"

"Xiaoyao is awesome!"

The two children ignored their mother's criticism and rushed towards Nanase Haruka at the same time.Nanase Haruka was caught off guard, and just subconsciously opened her arms to hug the two small balls, but the two small balls were too powerful, and her feet slipped, and then the three of them fell gorgeously, and Nanase Haruka was crushed by the two children at the end under.

"Xiaoyao was knocked down by us!"

"We all fell, Xiaoyao!"

"Hahaha."

"Hahaha."

The two children talked to themselves and laughed to themselves.Nanase Haruka was also infected by the two of them, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.The Orange couple also followed suit.

"Hurry up and help Xiaoyao up, Xiaoyao's clothes will get dirty on the floor."

The two children quickly got up, each holding Nanase Haruka's hand.

"Are you okay? Xiaoyao."

"Does it hurt? Xiaoyao."

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

Tachibana Makoto, who was going to get the scarf, finally came downstairs.

"Sorry sorry."

"Xiao Zhenqin, why have you been gone for so long?"

"Because I also found a scarf with a red plaid, I thought it would be better to have this red scarf woven by my mother. After a moment of hesitation, I was slow."

"Okay, okay, quickly take it and put it on for Xiaoyao."

"it is good."

"Then my father and I will go out first. Are you really not going to have dinner tonight? Then my father and I will go on a date after get off work?"

"Madam, you..."

"Can't you, hubby? Why don't you wait for Xiao Zhenqin to come back and take the two small light bulbs away? Don't you want to date me alone? Are you tired of being alone with me?" Zhenqin's mother lowered her head, pretending Looked sad.

Tachibana Makoto and the others are already familiar with it. Tachibana Makoto scratched the back of her head awkwardly, looked at Nanase Haruka with a smile, and said to him, sorry.

"No, no, no, how could it be? Well, Makoto, please leave the brothers and sisters alone. We are off to work. You can settle your lunch and dinner by yourself. Do you have enough money?"

"Well, it's enough, don't worry, you guys go out quickly, don't be late. Dad should accompany mom on a date."

"I know, I know, brat." Makoto's father blushed a little.

Zhenqin's mother smiled brightly immediately, and put her arms around her husband's arm: "Then we'll go out, don't you really need us to take you there?"

"No, it's not too far away, we'll just walk there by ourselves."

"Okay then, Xiao Zhenqin and the others will ask Xiaoyao to take care of her and don't play too late."

"kindness."

"Goodbye, Mom and Dad, drive carefully."

"Goodbye, Mom and Dad!"

"Goodbye, Mom and Dad!"

"See you tonight."

The Tachibana couple finally went out, Tachibana Makoto handed the scarf in Nanase Haruka's hand, and he started to put on his coat.When he finished dressing himself, he found that Nanase Haruka just casually wrapped the scarf around his neck.

"That's not okay, Haruka."

Tachibana Makoto walked up to Nanase Haruka and wanted to help him wrap the scarf again.Nanase Haruka lowered her head in coordination with his movements, saw the red scarf in front of her, and returned his hand; raised her head, and stared at his face again.

"What's wrong? Tight? Uncomfortable?"

Nanase Haruka turned her eyes away: "No."

"Brother, is it okay? Hurry up!" Ju Lian and Ju Lan had already run to the gate and waited.

"Okay, come right away."

Nanase Haruka is wearing a black windbreaker today, navy blue pants, and a red scarf just right, making her look warmer and less cold.Tachibana Makoto helped him straighten his collar by the way.

"Okay, let's go too."

At the same time, Hazuki Nagisa and the others have arrived at Goro Sasabe's club, and Mikoshiba Hyotetaro originally wanted to inquire about Matsuokae, and also knew about their party, so he brought Aiichiro Nitori to join in the fun.

Ye Yuezhu ran out to look at it from time to time, waited for a few minutes, saw no one, ran back, and ran out to look again when he was warmer.

"Xiaoyao! Xiaozhen!"

Ye Yuezhu rushed towards them excitedly, hugged them both tightly, and hung on top of them.Although Ye Yuezhu has also grown up, compared to the two of them, he still looks petite.

"I miss you so much, I miss you so much, it's great that you're really back." Ye Yuezhu was about to cry, and the corners of her eyes were red.

Hearing Hazuki Nagisa's cry, Sasabe Goro poked his head out from inside, and it turned out that Tachibana Makoto and the others had arrived.

"Makoto and Haruka are here!" Sasabe Goro shouted to the group of people inside.

The group of people froze for a moment, then quickly flew past Goro Sasabe, and then screamed several times.

"Young man..."

"Do you think we are old?"

"No, no, how come, Mr. Tianfang will always be young in my eyes, haha."

"An old saying goes."

Goro Sasabe started to have a headache.

"'You bought sweet-scented osmanthus, carried a full glass of fine wine, and revisited the old place, only to realize that we can no longer be as enthusiastic and frivolous as we were when we were young.' So, you can laugh loudly without any scruples, loudly Crying, screaming loudly, this is youth and cannot be copied. Let's be an elegant and mature adult."

"It's true, although I don't understand the previous sentence," Goro Sasabe scratched his head, "but I understand the latter sentence, we..."

"Well, so, if you want to keep a young heart, you must be with the children! Tachibana-san, Nanase-san, good morning~"

Tianfang Meifan has already snatched the door away, leaving Sasabe Goro alone in confusion in her lingering voice...

The author has something to say: I originally wanted to add another chapter... The coding speed is too slow, so let's do it first...

I'm going back to my hometown for the New Year, there is no internet, so I should stop for a few days...

☆、chapter04

The Iwatobi Swimming Club has become famous because of Tachibana Makoto and their wonderful performance in the national competition, and the number of members of the swimming club has gradually increased.Hazuki Nagisa is now the head of the Iwatobi Swimming Club, Ryugasaki Rei is the deputy head, Matsuoka E is still their manager, she still loves those beautiful upper arm triceps, and her classmate Xiao Han also joined the swimming club , mainly to share some of Matsuoka's work.

So at this party, Ye Yuezhu also brought two new members of the swimming club to Tachibana Makoto and Nanase Haruka.

One is Hiroshi Furuya, a first-year student who transferred from Wakazakachi because of his reputation. He is good at free travel.

One is a local named Nishio Hideki, a second-year student who is good at backstroke.

When Furuya Hiroshi and Nishio Hideki saw Nanase Haruka and Tachibana Makoto, they inevitably had to compete with them, and Mikoshiba Hyakutaro and the others also joined them.Others cheered from the edge of the pool.

Their first game was a backstroke competition. The contestants were: Tachibana Makoto, Miko Chai Hyakutaro and Nishio Hideki.Although Tachibana Makoto works part-time in the "Traveling" Club, his focus is on his studies, and he rarely competes with others seriously. However, he still practices every day, not only for the pursuit of speed, but also for remembering The feeling of swimming towards the finish line, the feeling of imagining his own partner waiting for the finish line, his favorite is still the relay race.

Grasp the starting handle, focus on the sound of the whistle, straighten your arms, stand up, enter the water, paddle, spread your arms, kick the water and kick your legs, like a ship with increased firepower, galloping in the vast sea.

The whistle excited the tense Tachibana Makoto, and every stroke of him was full of strength.The speed of the three of them was very close, and the spectators were very nervous. The shouts of the two children, Ju Lian and Ju Lan, almost shook the roof off.

In the end, Miko Shibamotaro was first, Makoto Tachibana was second, and Hideki Nishio was third. The results were not much different.

"Oh yeah! Xiao Jiang! You won! Senior Makoto, you have regressed!"

"If Senior Makoto didn't go to study and work, he would definitely not lose to you!"

"Xiao Jiang..."

"Haha, Miko Chai is right. I have regressed. You are really good. I haven't competed for a long time. I miss you so much." Tachibana Makoto said with a smile.

"Nishio-kun, you still lost to senior! I must be the next national champion! Hahaha."

Hideki Nishio took off his swimming cap, stroked his hair, and said firmly, "I will win."

Makoto Tachibana felt a little embarrassed, turned to Hideki Nishio and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Nishio, I'm just one step faster than you with longer arms. Our grades are slightly different. If you practice more, you will definitely be able to Overtake me. Come on."

Nishio Hideki suddenly felt a little hot in his ears: "I will work hard Makoto-senpai!"

Haruka Nanase threw the towel in her hand to Makoto Tachibana, got up and walked towards the swimming starting point.Furuya Hiroshi was the only one competing against Nanase Haruka.

Stand at the starting point, get ready to jump, stare ahead, jump up, draw a graceful arc in the air, and plunge into the water fiercely.The soft water wraps your body, every cell is screaming excitedly, don’t bind your hands and feet, paddle more freely, feel the fluctuations of the water carefully, don’t resist it, accept it, cooperate with it, and dance with it , to the finish line!

Take off, hit the water, hit the water.Every movement of Nanase Haruka is so natural and graceful, as if he has become a part of the water, so fit, attracting everyone's attention.

"it's beautiful……"

"Perfect……"

"So fast!"

"This is the most normal Haruka. The Haruka in the water is the most real and natural him." Not only that, but in the water, Haruka is like a magician with a magic wand, making the sport of swimming show the most beautiful Appearance, more attractive.Tachibana Makoto said silently in her heart.

"Wow!" Nanase Haruka stood still, raised her head from the water, pulled off her swimming cap, and shook her hair.

"Ah! Senior Haruka is amazing!"

"Xiaoyao is the tallest!"

"Senior Yao!"

"Xiaoyao won!"

"Nanase-san is so handsome!"

The results were significantly different, Haruka Nanase easily defeated Hiroshi Furuya.After more professional guidance and training, Nanase Haruka's progress is indeed very obvious. As long as he continues to maintain, he will definitely achieve good results in the next national competition, and become an official swimmer is just around the corner.

But compared to Nanase Haruka's rapid progress, they are more excited that they can finally see Nanase Haruka swimming again.Watching him swim almost makes people forget about the competition, immerses them in the wonderful sport of swimming, and makes them want to try it.

They finished the race noisily, but Yu Zichai was still not satisfied, and clamored to call his partners for a relay competition, but his partners didn't have time today, so they had to compete next time.

The takeaway ordered by Goro Sasabe arrived in a timely manner, and everyone formed a circle and began to enjoy the food.

"Xiao Jiang, if Minister Rin was here, would he have won against Haruka-senpai?" Miko Shibamotaro asked.

"Well... I don't know, brother, he rarely told me about his training, but he did talk about Zongjie-kun."

"Mr. Zongjie?"

Tachibana Makoto and Nanase Haruka looked at each other and asked, "How is Sousuke? Is the shoulder healed?"

Matsuoka shook his head: "I haven't recovered yet, and I can't do a lot of training, but my brother said that Sousuke-kun is very confident that he will be cured, and then he will come back to compete with everyone."

"Xiao Zong must have had a hard time in the United States alone. He couldn't eat rock kite bread and strawberry rice balls, and I don't know if the people there treat him well..."

"It's okay, it's okay for my brother to be alone in Australia for so many years, so Xiaozong will definitely have no problem."

Tianfang Meifan secretly tugged at the corner of Goro Sasabe's clothes, turned his head, and whispered in his ear, "Who is Sousuke-kun?"

"It's the student from the Swimming Club of Sagezuru High School. Last time I competed with Nanase and the others in the butterfly stroke."

"Oh, so it's him..."

Tianfang Meifan suddenly sat upright, straightened her back, and said: "Goethe said that 'everyone who strives for self-improvement will eventually succeed'. Zongjie works so hard, he will succeed, we will wait for his return!"

"teacher……"

"Yes!"

"Hahaha."

"Then when will Xiao Lin come back? Will the national competition come back?"

"My brother said he would come back before the national competition."

"Yeah! We can swim together again, Xiaoyao, Xiaozhen!"

"I don't know how Rin is doing swimming now, it's really exciting, isn't it, Haruka?"

Nanase didn't answer, but from his piercing eyes, it could already be seen that he was also looking forward to getting together with Rin Matsuoka for another match.

A group of people ran to Iwatobi High School noisily again.Although it's a holiday, it's just that there are no classes. Most clubs are still lively, except for the swimming club.

The water in the swimming pool has been drained, and there is snow and fallen leaves on the bottom of the pool.In this season, the outdoor swimming pool is really too cold, and few people can bear it, so the members of the swimming department will not come to the school's swimming pool to practice. Most of them go to the swimming club to practice by themselves.

"The principal said that if our swimming department wins a championship in the next national competition, he will help us raise funds to build an indoor swimming pool here." Matsuoka Jiang said.

"But then we won't see the cherry blossom swimming pool again, what a pity..." Ye Yuezhu said in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter, Zhu-kun. Its most beautiful appearance has been deeply engraved in our hearts. Whether it is a day, a year, a decade, or a lifetime, I will always remember its appearance..." Ryuzaki looked at the empty swimming pool, The eyes sparkle.

Ye Yuezhu turned to look at him: "Yes."

They came to the locker room of the swimming department again. The wall on the left side of the locker room was covered with photos of them at that time, during training, during competitions, and a few daily photos, as well as a few newer photos. For new members.The photos are marked with the date, and the photos are lined up and pasted on the wall according to the time. This is the trace of their growth along the way, and the mark of the step-by-step progress of the swimming department of Yanyuan High School.

"This is the growth path of our Iwatobi High School Swimming Club. There is only one and no end." Matsuoka explained with firm eyes.

After visiting the high school, Ye Yuezhu went to the elementary school again to see the cherry blossom tree.Mikoshiba Hyakutaro and Nitori Aiichiro lived far away, and it was getting dark quickly, so they didn't go with them. Although Furuya Hiroshi and Nishio Hideki wanted to follow them, they were only the first after all. Once we met, I was too embarrassed to continue to follow, and we all bid farewell and went back.

The cherry blossom tree is still there, with bare branches, pressed by snow.

Ye Yuezhu picked up the branches on the ground, squatted down, and swept the snow away.

"Look! They're still there!"

"Iswin"

"Free"
