[Net King_Echizen] Backtracking

■

Atobe Hizuki is Echizen Ryoma found in a remote tennis gym.

She hid in the corner and stared at him for a moment.

In the dense black night, only the sound of panting can be heard, and yellow tennis balls are scattered all over the ground.

The boy in the sweatshirt twisted the brim of his hat, and transparent beads of sweat dripped down the contours of his cheeks onto the ground. Those amber eyes were extremely serious, and a hot flame burst out.Holding a crimson racket, he focused on the serving machines in front of him.

Irregular panting sounds filled the darkness.

Atobe Feiyue stopped in her footsteps.

"He would come all the way here to train every night while you were asleep."

Miss Eve didn't know when she appeared. She leaned against the wall, her slender legs slightly bent, and looked at her sideways: "Because I'm afraid you will find out."

"...But I don't understand."

Echizen Ryoma fell to his knees on the ground, he clutched his left arm and panted heavily, dripping sweat drenched his clothes.Atobe Feiyue resisted the urge to step forward to stop him, turned her eyes away from him, and stared straight at Miss Eve who was clasping her arms: "He clearly promised me that he would not train overloaded again."

She whispered: "He's only 22 years old."

But Eve sneered as if she had heard some joke by chance: "You said it too, he is 22 years old. After 20 years old, he never showed a decent result. How much the injury two years ago affected him?" He has always been at the risk of recurring old injuries. No one knows better than you how much his psychological pressure is."

Atobe Feiyue clenched her fists and retorted: "That's why we need to carry out rehabilitation step by step, so that we can recover to the best condition, isn't it?"

"What's the point of messing around in such a hurry?"

She mocked: "Miss Eve, you didn't stop him because you needed him to continue to be your cash cow and a tool to make money for you?"

"if not."

Compared to her agitation, Eve seemed much calmer: "Do you still have to wait until you use your Atobe family to raise him, Miss Atobe? But if I remember correctly, because of Ryoma and your family After a quarrel at the National People’s Congress, you ran away from home, and the Atobe family cut off your source of income, and you are still a student.”

Atobe Himezuki has dealt with Echizen Ryoma's manager, Ms. Eve, in recent years. In his memory, she was a person with a hot temper but calm and restrained at critical moments.In the past two years, even if Echizen Ryoma fell into a trough, she never left her and never thought of changing jobs.

A reporter interviewed her and asked her why.

The flirtatious woman said confidently: "Echizen Ryoma is the second talented player I have seen in ten years."

The first one is Echizen Ryuya.

Such a woman can always see through her easily when standing in front of her.But he was a few years older than her, but when he looked at her, he seemed to be looking at a child who didn't know much about the world.

But this was the first time she had seen her cynical and aggressive.

The eloquent little princess was silenced by her.

Eve said, "Didn't you ask him why he was so impulsively overloaded with training?"

"That may not be impulsive for Ryoma."

"Have you ever thought about it, Miss Atobe? Maybe, he can't wait so long."

"When he has nothing, he doesn't mind taking things step by step."

"It's like a hunter waiting to catch his prey. ——Echizen Ryoma used to look like this. In his eyes, victory is only a matter of time."

"...But now he needs to prove to your parents and elder brother as soon as possible that he can give you everything."

She paused: "Otherwise, what right does he have to marry you home?"

"...Miss Atobe."

She pronounced her last name with a rising consonant.

Cold without temperature.

It was so quiet that only the slow breathing of each other could be heard.

What is she saying.

She couldn't understand a word.

"So look, the person who used to be so energetic when he picked up the racket is now in such a mess."

Atobe Scarlet Moon stared blankly at Eve's fluttering lips, as if in a dream: "Fall from the temple of heaven to the trough, and then break his pride little by little. Although I say this... But I'm sorry, this That seems to be what he's going through right now."

Oh.

The hanging heart couldn't stop falling.

The sound of thumping.

They were all clamoring frantically.

——I made that Echizen Ryoma look like this.

……

22-year-old early spring.

Echizen Ryoma was admitted to the hospital due to a relapse of an old injury due to overtraining.

Atobe Feiyue was squatting at the door of the ward, he was sitting on the bed facing the sunset with a dazed expression.

She covered her face with tears streaming down her face.

*

There is a row of inconspicuous parallel bars next to the tennis court at the University of Southern California. Atobe Himetsu once complained to Echizen Ryoma that the parallel bars were covered by the surrounding shaded trees, because sometimes she would go there to watch him play tennis.

Due to the particularity of Echizen Ryoma's professional athletes, he rarely played tennis on the school's playground.But when he returned to school, he would occasionally play a few times on the tennis court. At that time, the girls who admired him always came from thousands of miles to watch and surrounded the tennis court.

Atobe Feiyue knew that she would join in the fun on a whim in the future, so she climbed onto the parallel bars, hugged her knees and watched him from a distance.

How much she likes this man.

She likes him so much that even if the whole world thinks they are inappropriate and prevents them from being together, she still wants to spend the rest of her life with him.

She has never liked a person like this.

She likes him laughing.

I like him arrogantly saying "no".

Love his childish pranks.

I like him peeling milk-flavored lollipops for her, and holding her hand for a long, long journey.

I like his awkward gentleness, and ran to wipe her tears with my fingers without any scruples.

I like his courage to forge ahead in the face of adversity.

But those likes are not as good as her favorite tennis appearance of him.

What she likes the most is that he stands on the court holding the racket vigorously and brutally abuses his opponents, and it is the arrogant and confident phrase "It's not far away" in his victories after victories.

My favorite will always be the proud boy who thought tennis was just tennis.

She is willing to give up all her favorites in exchange for her favorite.

...

This is the Atobe Himeki that Echizen Ryoma came to see at the appointment.She hugged her knees with both hands, and buried her head in her arms. Under the bright spring sun, she reflected the transparent white.

As if the wind blows, she flies away.

So he suppressed the panic welling up in his heart, and shouted: "Fei Yue."

Atobe Feiyue raised her head, dangling her legs in the air.Holding the lever with one hand, she jumped off the parallel bars.Echizen Ryoma had already opened his arms and caught her firmly.

Hair brushed his cheeks.

She steadied herself and took a step backwards.

"Dragon Horse."

Qingfeng Xulai raised her long hair, but failed to cover her voice: "... let's break up."

The wind stopped.

Time seemed to stand still.

The girl in front of her raised her chin as proudly as she did when she first saw her, as if after all these years she was still the spoiled and heartless Atobe little princess: "Echizen Ryoma, let's break up, I'm tired of playing, don't you?" I like you no more."

"I don't like you anymore" can easily block all escape routes.

She was originally a heartless, complete scumbag.

moment.

"Decided?"

he asks.

"Yes."

"Ah."

He lowered the brim of his hat and said calmly, "Okay."

And Atobe Feiyue didn't give him any more time to react, flicking the ponytail at the back of his neck, he walked out of his field of vision without looking back.

——I'm waiting for you to get up from the trough without distraction.

She heard the voice in her heart say.

Echizen Ryoma, who was left behind by him, touched his nose after the initial daze, stared at her back until his girl slowly disappeared before his eyes, and then sighed helplessly:

"Fool."

……

22 years old spring.

The early cherry blossoms in Tokyo are as brilliant as when they were 16 years old. The pink flower buds quietly climbed all over the branches, and the scenery remains the same.

In the spring when she was 16 years old, the girl smiled and kissed the corner of his lips, and captured his beating heart quietly: "It's you I like."

22 years old in the same spring.

But she said:

"I don't like you anymore."

That was the sixth year of love between Echizen Ryoma and Atobe Himezuki.

They broke up for good.

*

Also in the spring of that year.

Echizen Ryoma stopped Eve, who was coquettishly tender with her boyfriend, at the door of Miss Eve's apartment, and asked in a serious tone never before: "How can I get back to my best state before?"

Eve was filled with grief and joy, both relieved and ashamed.It was almost like grabbing the ear of this incomprehensible brat and teaching him if he knew that he would be kicked by a donkey for disturbing other people's relationship.

But she still resigned herself to supporting her little cash cow ancestor.

Eve and his attending doctor made a detailed systematic plan for him, and rejected all his current competitions, and he began to recover and train step by step.They ordered him not to overload the training, and the competitive young man obediently agreed.

Atobe Hizuki, who had been away from home for several months, still returned to Tokyo with her original luggage. She solemnly apologized to Atobe Akihiko, and she was willing to return to Tokyo University to make up for the credits that had been deducted, and agreed to postpone her graduation.

Akihiko Atobe still arranged for her to meet with the young master of the upper-class chaebol. When she came back, she justly stated that she was not good enough and not worthy of those talented rich sons, so she decided to go back to the furnace and rebuild.She's not going to be in a relationship until she gets better.

When spring blossoms.

Atobe Jingwu and Qiuyuan Liangxi held a wedding. The elder brother who always cleaned up the mess for her, who was hard-spoken but soft-hearted but quietly spoiled her like a little princess, was officially married.

Atobe Hiyue and Echizen Juna were bridesmaids, holding flowers, watching them embrace and kiss, covering her mouth and crying.

Her brother had found the man with whom he would spend the rest of his life.But the young man who was supposed to accompany her through the long life, unknowingly separated from her.

·

In the summer when I was 22 years old.

Echizen Ryoma went to Wimbledon again, this time he reached the quarter-finals all the way with the racket and lost.In the end, there were only eight final results, and this was already his most gratifying result in the past two years.

Miss Eve was very happy and let him have a big meal.She got drunk at the celebration party and was later carried home by her boyfriend.

Echizen Ryoma was not discouraged, and still devoted himself to rehabilitation and training.

Doctors say his arm is recovering well and will probably be back to full strength next spring.

The news about his breakup with Atobe Feiyue was overwhelming in an instant, and the media hyped the professional tennis player Echizen Ryoma's six-year long-distance running girlfriend who abandoned him and left him during his trough, and instead married a well-matched rich young master.

His fans went to Atobe Feiyue's twitter and scolded her as a wolf.

Echizen Ryoma saw those malicious comments that slandered her during his break, and registered a trumpet to scold them. His venomous tongue hit the nail on the head, and he could always scold those young girls who were not deeply involved in the world until they dropped the line.

He texts her.

Stone sinks into the sea.

Atobe Himezuki, who is in Tokyo, refuses the pursuit of those famous men with various strange reasons. The most common excuses she uses are "You don't know how to play tennis" or "Your tennis posture is too ugly." .

She began to work as an intern at a TV station, working diligently as a journalist.

The leader praised her for her nice voice and hard work.

It seems that even she herself has forgotten that she used to be that salty fish tracebe Feiyue who had no business, no dreams, and only chased Echizen Ryoma, that rich second-generation playboy who wandered around in love.

She delayed her graduation by half a year.

·

23 is old.

Autumn is not yet dusk.

Echizen Ryoma's points gradually recovered, and the world ranking gradually squeezed into the top ten.

He won the runner-up at the Australian Open and won the US Open and Wimbledon at the same time.His attending doctor examined him for the last time and told him that his old wounds were completely healed and that he was really happy for him.

The media praised: The talented tennis boy who was amazing and shocked the tennis world returned with a powerful attitude.

But not enough.

He has to win the first grand slam to be eligible, and he can appear in front of her upright and tell her: "I think the name Echizen Scarlet Moon is good, what do you think?"

Old friends from the past called to congratulate him.

He once fell into a trough and missed the three years when he was flourishing.But it's okay, he's back.According to her expectations, she returned to the top of the world.

After graduation, Atobe Feizuki went to the sports channel of the TV station. Her favorite thing is tennis.

A colleague asked her why.

She thought for a while and answered, "Maybe it's because I have learned tennis from my brother since I was a child. He used to be a very good tennis player."

——The person I like too.

He will be the best tennis player in the world.

Akihiko Atobe was still persevering in trying to find a good marriage candidate for her, and after excluding one person, he found that they were not suitable.He locked his eyes on Watanabe Takuya and Takahashi Hayato, who grew up with Atobe Hitsuki's childhood sweetheart. After comparing them, he felt that Watanabe Takuya was the most suitable, stable and mature.

It is the best match with the little princess of their Atobe family.

However, Feiyue Atobe felt that maybe the president of Atobe, who completely delegated power to Keigo Atobe, was too idle.

She intends to make reasonable suggestions to Keigo Atobe.

The son of the director of the TV station threatened to fall in love with her at first sight, and began to pursue her persistently.

Atobe Himezuki had a headache.

After all, the man who delivers flowers every day is a bit handsome.

A very girlish colleague said that he looks a bit like Echizen Ryoma who is active in the tennis world.

Maybe they all forgot.

Echizen Ryoma has a girlfriend who is as beautiful as a flower, capable in both literature and martial arts, and looks like her.

Oh.

Ex-girlfriend.

A man who looks a bit like Echizen Ryoma got some gossip from somewhere, and after knowing that she likes Echizen Ryoma, he appeared in front of her every day wearing a baseball cap.To be honest, Atobe Feiyue suddenly felt that he was not handsome at all.

So she still rejected him sternly, the reason is: she doesn't like Echizen Ryoma, what she likes is his rival in tennis, Chiya Kirihara, and she thinks his hairstyle is very cool.

The next day that person got a seaweed head from Chiya Kirihara.

like.

Uglier.

Sure enough, not everyone can hold such a hairstyle. Thinking about it, Kirihara Chi may be even more handsome than his current appearance. After all, he is also a well-known handsome guy in the tennis world.

Atobe Himezuki and her colleagues leaned forward laughing.

- Strange.

Her favorite is obviously Echizen Ryoma.

·

Winter at 24 years old.

It is said that it is the coldest winter in recent years, and the streets are covered with layers of frost and snow.

Neither is New York.

Or Tokyo.

Carubin grew old in such a winter.

In early winter.

It's sick.

Karubin lay motionless on the cold floor, it raised its eyes and looked at him sadly, no matter how Echizen Nanjiro teased it, it didn't respond.

Perhaps too lazy to respond.

Echizen Ryoma sat on the window sill with Carubin in his arms and looked at the busy street, stroked its fur softly, and then sent a text message to Atobe Himezuki.First text message in a long time.

[Carubin is ill.Very serious. ]

She didn't return.

Echizen Ryoma felt that the woman was really heartless, Karubin liked her the most in the past, and when it liked her, it even surpassed him.

He was also jealous.

I just don't know whose vinegar to eat.

...

Carubin didn't make it through that winter after all.

It goes at the end of winter.

The Himalayan cat that had been with him for more than ten years had passed away. He hugged its cold body, and the warm touch was no longer there.

Echizen Haruna cried very sadly.

So is he.

He sent another text message to Hizuki Atobe.

[Carubin leaves. ]

It took her a long time to reply: [Got it. ]

Echizen Ryoma thought, she was really cruel.

·

Echizen Ryoma felt that he was related to Winter.

Probably because winter is indeed a sad season.

Early winter when I was 25 years old.

The third year and six months after Echizen Ryoma and Atobe Hizuki broke up.

He finally won the first Grand Slam in his life.

It seems long overdue.

And everything is just right.

Then he received an invitation from Keigo Atobe.

——Invitation from Hizuki Atobe.

He stared at the name on the red invitation for a long time, until his eyes were sore.

He threw it in the trash can.

That's just trivial stuff.

Later, I went around a long way to pick it up.

Remind him all the time.

……

……

She is getting married.

The girl he had loved for so many years on the tip of his heart was about to get married.

That period of unforgettable love in my youth turned out to be nothing but absurdity.

The author has something to say:

＊The little princess thinks she has become a stumbling block to Ryoma√

＊Ryoma knows that the little princess is just waiting for him to get better√

＊The little princess is getting better too√

＊What I wrote is a beautiful love story, not a bloody drama√

*Quickly tell me it is!Beautiful love!

＊The little princess of the second life died here, and the article "Birds and Fish" was unfolded from the perspective of that life, and she was not regarded as Liang Xi's bridesmaid.This extra mention is mainly a dream come true.
