Amethyst Fascination

After a long wait, the national competition finally started with the singing of cicadas in autumn.

Despite having a bye in the first round, Sanada brought all the first-choice players of Lihai University to the venue.However, for King Li Haida, the games in the first round were indeed too dull, and a group of people simply leaned on the side of the court to chat.

"Deputy Minister, will Director Yukimura come over later?" They were chatting, rather than saying that they were waiting for Yukimura, who was going to Kanai General Hospital for a physical examination, to appear.Kirihara frowned worriedly, and said in a low voice: "Although the recent state is very good, is the minister's physical condition able to participate in the competition?"

Taking a slanting glance at Kirihara, seeing the other party shrinking his neck involuntarily under his gaze, Sanada said indifferently: "Don't worry, Kirihara."

"That's right, these miscellaneous fishes, which round will the minister appear on the stage. Kirihara, are you looking down on us by saying that?" Marui stretched out his hand to wrap around Kirihara's neck, and Marui bent his fingers and flicked the hairy head, staring at it with a half-smile with him.

"I just said it casually! Marui-senpai, I'm going to die!" Struggling hard, Kirihara wailed and looked at others for help. After finding that everyone was staring at him as if they were watching a joke, he resigned to his fate bowed his head.

Rarely indulging the main candidates to play around, Sanada raised his wrist to check the time, with a little worry in his dark eyes.It's a little late, Yukimura, it should be fine.

Raising his eyes and moving around, a sense of real presence suddenly caught Sanada's gaze.Then, he saw a familiar little figure.

Echizen?Shouldn't he be in America?How would it appear here?

Looking at the back of the man who was holding a can of Fanta and strolling slowly while drinking, Sanada's calm heart twitched violently.Stepping forward quickly, ignoring the strange eyes of his teammates behind him, he caught up with the figure, and with a trace of uncertainty, he called softly: "Yueqian?"

Looking back, looking at the tall figure behind him, his amber eyes narrowed slightly in the sunlight. "Sanada-senpai?"

It's really him, it's really him who's back!

Taking a deep breath, trying to calm down the inexplicable joy in his heart, Sanada bent slightly, his eyes wandering on the young man's delicate cheeks. "How did you come?"

Blinking at Sanada, the boy drank his last sip of Fanta and said, "I'll come and see the seniors' competition."

"Qingxue has a bye today. I guess they are in Hexagonal vs. Jiazhong's arena." He raised his finger and pointed in the direction. Hearing the calls of his teammates behind him, Sanada straightened up and said with a little reluctance: "We are going back ,Goodbye."

"Thank you." Following the direction of the voice, the young man raised his eyes to look at a group of people in the uniform of the Lihai Brigade, frowning slightly.That person is not here.Pulling the brim of his hat, he softly called Sanada to stop, and in the puzzled look of the other party, he asked in a low voice, "Is Yukimura-senpai not here?"

The handsome face sank slightly, Sanada was silent for a moment, and said, "Xingcun went to the hospital for a routine checkup."

"Oh, then I'll go there first. Goodbye." The boy replied with some disappointment, and the boy left quickly.

Standing where he was, Sanada watched the young boy's small figure disappear into the turbulent crowd, and sighed softly.Without ignoring the little bit of disappointment in the child's voice just now, Sanada thought about it, and still called Yukimura.

"Yukimura, I met Echizen just now." Hearing Yukimura's gentle and smiling voice, Sanada said flatly, "He asked me about you."

On the other end of the phone, the delicate eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was a little surprise in the amethyst-like eyes. Yukimura paused for a moment before saying: "I see. Are you ready to go back?"

"There's nothing to see in the first match. I'm going back to school for training." Puzzled by Yukimura's calm tone as always, Sanada wanted to ask: Echizen came back, did you have any surprises?

"Then you guys go back first, I'll go back to school and meet you when I'm done here. Goodbye." Hanging up the phone, raising his slender fingers to gently caress his upper lip, Yukimura closed his eyes and leaned against the wall.That unexpected episode has never been forgotten, just like the numbness that still makes my heart palpitate in retrospect, never forgotten.

That night, Echizen went upstairs after taking a shower.By the time he finished packing and returned to his room, the child was already in a deep sleep.He left early the next morning, leaving breakfast and a note for the boy.In other words, after that accident, the two of them never met again.

It is to escape.Since they met, the communication between them has been plain and natural, so they don't want to be embarrassed by that accident.

However, we still have to meet.

Opening his eyes, Yukimura walked towards the arena of the national competition with the usual gentle smile on his handsome face.

……

He never thought that his appearance would bring such a surprise to the seniors, so at this moment the boy with a somewhat helpless expression resigned himself to being strangled by Taocheng and locked in his arms by Kikumaru.

"You bastard, I didn't hear that you would come back today." With a smile full of surprise, Taocheng tapped the brim of his white hat, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "It seems to be a little taller, Go ahead!"

"Senior Taocheng, you talk too much!" A little bit of embarrassment appeared in the golden eyes, and the boy finally blew up under Taocheng's teasing.

Walking quickly to the boy, Bu Er smiled at Taocheng and Kikumaru for a while, until the two consciously let go, he raised his hand to pinch his delicate and fair cheeks, and smiled softly: "Welcome back, Echizen. Really What a surprise."

A slight smile curled up on the corners of his lips, and he blinked at those ice-blue gentle eyes. The boy walked up to Tezuka and stood still, and said softly, "Minister, I'm back."

"Congratulations on winning the US Open runner-up, Echizen." His quiet eyes fell on the boy for a long time, almost greedily portraying his appearance in his heart, Tezuka still maintained a steady voice.

Pulling the brim of his hat a little embarrassedly, the boy frowned and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

"It's really great to be able to Echizen, but I'm afraid we won't be able to make it to tomorrow's game." Seeing his elementary school brother, although Kawamura was very happy, he was also a little entangled in the lineup that had been set for the game.

Dashi standing aside suddenly frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and forced a smile, "Anyway, let's go back to school first."

Insufficient understanding of the opponent brought the match between Liujiazhong and Higazhong to an end soon.Carrying the ball bag on his back, listening to the teasing of the seniors, the boy bowed his head and walked at the end of the line with a gloomy expression on his face.

I thought I would be able to see that person when I came to the stadium today, but he still didn't come.

"Echizen, what's the matter?" The attentive Fuji saw the strangeness of the boy, deliberately slowed down his pace, and asked with concern while walking beside him.

"It's nothing." Pulling the brim of the hat lower, the young man replied vaguely with a hint of hoarseness in his voice.

Thinking about the possibility of making the proud child show such an expression, Fuer tentatively said: "I heard that Li Haida is here today, I wonder if Yukimura is here."

"Senior Yukimura went to the hospital for a routine checkup, but he didn't come." He didn't hear what Fuji said, and the innocent boy just told him what he knew.Therefore, he failed to see the complicated and sad expression on that usually handsome and gentle face.

"That's right, Echizen is always aware of Yukimura's whereabouts." Smiling slightly self-deprecating, Fuji took a deep breath and looked away.The ice blue eyes were dazed and directionless, but they were attracted by a slender figure in the crowd, and then became complicated.

Yukimura Seichi, he's still here.

At the same time that Fuji saw Yukimura, Tezuka also spotted the Minister Tachikai in casual clothes.His deep eyes froze on the opponent, seeing those amethyst-like eyes turned towards him, he thought for a while, and still went to meet him. "Long time no see, Yukimura. I heard that you have recovered, congratulations."

Nodding his head slightly, Yukimura responded lightly: "Nice to meet you, Tezuka-kun. I heard from Sanada that you have returned too." His eyes turned, and after seeing the pair of amber cat eyes that deliberately did not look at him, The clear purple eyes curved slightly. "Shouldn't you say hello, little guy?"

Staring at Yukimura's smiling eyes, the boy frowned and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you say you went to the hospital?"

"Ah, I've already been there. I came to meet Sanada and the others, but it seems that they have already gone back." Folding his arms, his eyes lingering on the delicate pink lips of the young man, Yukimura replied with a smile.

The conversation between the two of them made Tezuka feel that he was superfluous.Looking down at the little boy who had already walked beside him, he sighed silently, suppressing the bitterness in his heart. "We'll wait for you at the station, Echizen. Come over later."

"Okay, Minister." Waving goodbye, the boy's golden eyes were still staring at Yukimura. After a moment of silence, he frowned and asked, "Body, are you okay?"

Smiling slightly, he raised his hand and patted the brim of the white hat, Yukimura softened his voice: "It's just a routine review, don't worry."

"Who's worried!" The gentle voice had been heard countless times, but this time it warmed the young man's ears.Staring fiercely at Yukimura with a hint of shame, looking at the slightly curved purple eyes, he finally looked away, and muttered as if discouraged: "I bumped into you that day, I didn't mean it."

It seems that he is not the only one who remembers, this child also remembers.

This kind of recognition made Yukimura feel a little joy in his heart. His slender fingers rubbed lightly on the top of the white hat, and he said softly, "I know."

She raised her head secretly, her eyes fell on her slightly raised lips, and the young man's fair face flushed a little bit.He quickly looked away, and after a moment of silence, he whispered, "I'm leaving."

"Then, goodbye." Letting go of his hand, Yukimura smiled slightly and said, "Come on, little guy."
