After the phone call, Mitsui happily peeled the chocolate candy balls, lying on the sofa without any shape, they were all in a ball.

"You really look like a cat."

"Like a she-cat?"

"What are you talking about, the mother cat is not..." is not a good word.

Atobe sat down beside her, and casually changed the subject, "Didn't you call her before?"

"I didn't have her number before, but I got one later, but my dad told me not to call, probably because he wanted me to save a little on the phone bill."

Yui Mitsui naturally handed the wrapping paper of the leftover chocolate candy balls to Atobe, and Atobe's eyebrows twitched, "You dare to ask me to dispose of the garbage for you, you are so courageous."

Having said that, he still took the candy wrapper and threw it aside.

"Atobe, thank you this time." Yui Mitsui turned over, lying on the sofa and swiping his phone, completely lost his usual restraint, his whole body was as soft as boneless, "...my mother looks fine , my dad should take good care of her."

Thinking of the smiling face with red lips and white teeth, Atobe also let out a "huh".

Mitsui Nanako's bright and contagious smile, the smile and satisfaction are fully displayed on every part of her face, which adds a lot to her not-so-excellent appearance.

If a woman who is not independent can be raised with such a smile, her partner must have put in a lot of effort.

"We're going to have dinner with my parents on Sunday, what should I wear?"

It was the first time that Yui Mitsui asked him for advice on clothing, which made Atobe feel relieved and at the same time feel a little sad.

...Girl, don't ask so low, okay?

Is it just a phone call that makes you feel so good?

He leaned over and hugged her, pressing his face against the back of her neck.

"Don't move, let me hug you."

Mitsui Yui lay on the sofa, staring at the wall in front of him without blinking.

The shadow on the wall let her see that Atobe's face was buried very low, and she couldn't see his expression.

The hair that had been washed and blow-dried without careful care fell softly on her neck.

She smelled a faint strawberry fruity aroma, refreshing.

...Atobe changed to such a cute shampoo?

Atobu did not let her go after a long time.

Mitsui Yui asked carefully: "You won't cry because you want to see my parents?"

"Idiot, why should I cry about this kind of thing?" Atobe raised his face and made up a random reason, "...I'm counting your size."

"Can it be calculated in this way? Don't you need to measure it?"

"No, let me arrange the clothes."

In fact, Atobe, who already knew her size, glanced at the clock on the wall, "You still have 10 minutes to play. After Yukimura comes, he may not let you play."

Mitsui Yuichi heard that Yukimura was coming too, and almost fainted: "Kun Yukimura...he is coming too."

"What? Are you scared?" Atobe raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips curled up, "I thought you were not afraid of anyone."

"I'm not afraid, but I feel sorry for him if I don't do well in the exam. He helped me prepare a lot of materials and gave me a lot of help."

Yui Mitsui is most afraid of bothering others. Favor is always the most difficult thing in the world to pay back. He also thought about paying Yukimura for supplementary lessons and materials fees, but it is estimated that Yukimura will be even more angry. "Kun Yukimura is serious about everything, I Don't let his efforts turn into a mess. He's a good guy."

Deeply moved, Yui Mitsui issued a good person card for Yukimura.

Atobe, who was still gloating a moment ago, suddenly cared about this "good person card". He didn't like to hear the praise of other men from Yui Mitsui's mouth.

"Is he with me?"

"Uh."...This is not a good comparison.

Seeing that Yui Mitsui did not answer, Atobe repeated: "Me or him, which one is better?"

"...You two are fine."

The vague attitude made him ask again: "I ask who is better?"

"Mr. Atobe, excuse me, there is a guest for your appointment—"

The doorbell rang suddenly, and Yui Mitsui immediately got up from the sofa, "Yukimura-kun is here, I'll open the door."

Atobe: "...Hello!"

Yukimura Seichi, like Mitsui Yui, was also the first to see such a luxurious presidential suite. Although this is the property of the Akashi family, even Akashi himself does not live in such a place.

What really attracts Yukimura is not the luxurious hardware facilities in the room, but the gurgling water flowing under his feet and all kinds of smart and elegant small fish.

It's like walking in a shallow stream.

...It's a holographic projection.But if it weren't for the fact that the shoes were not wet at all, they wouldn't have noticed it at all.

The sound of running water is preset by the surround sound in the wall, and the volume is precisely controlled at 35 decibels.

The most interesting thing is that Yukimura accidentally kicked a virtual tortoise, and the tortoise vomited and shrank into a ball.

"I'm sorry." Yukimura bent down and apologized to the turtle, "I didn't look at the road just now."

Atobe sneered, and mocked the wind kindly: "Do you need to be so hypocritical about virtual things?"

"This is the work of Akashi. He added a lot of sensors in it. The fish will avoid people when they encounter them, and the turtles will respond accordingly when they encounter different treatment."

Just as he was talking, the tortoise stretched out its small head again, and patted Yukimura's shoes with its small paws.

Yukimura smiled lightly and said, "I unilaterally think that you have forgiven me by doing this."

The tortoise seemed to understand, and swam away wagging the tip of its tail.Yukimura watched it go away, and said: "Even if it is a virtual life, Akashi has achieved a level of awe."

Mitsui Yui remained silent, she had the honor to visit Akashi's holographic paradise.

Even a person like her who doesn't know much about art was deeply shocked and impressed.

The perfect combination of light and shadow interweaves colorful prosperity and magnificence.Spring, summer, autumn and winter can be switched freely in an instant. Polar bears and Antarctic penguins can also break through geographical restrictions and enjoy the cherry blossoms falling from the aurora belt...

Exactly how strong and persistent emotions are needed to create this kind of virtual life that can communicate with people emotionally, and reach the point where people can't tell the truth from the fake.

As long as he is not in front of Akashi, Atobe will not hesitate to praise: "He has a good vision and is at the forefront of artificial intelligence."

He recalled the scene when he introduced artificial intelligence to his grandfather with great interest. Artificial intelligence has absolute rationality that humans cannot surpass. They are attached to data, without any emotional color, and have more accurate judgments. , the advantages cannot be underestimated.Although Hidego Atobe was very interested, he was not as optimistic as him, and even reminded him not to be so ambitious, to take a slanted sword, and put the relationship between the two upside down.

The history of the Atobe family is not long. It has been less than 100 years since the time of great-grandfather.

Without the magnificent history of the Mitsui family for more than 300 years, from the origin to the peak, and then to the current decline, it is a long and embarrassing poem written back and forth.

Contrary to the Mitsui family, the Atobe family is young and energetic. One declined after the war, and the other rose after the war.

One is setting in the west, and the other is rising in the east.

Keigo Atobe’s great-grandfather was far-sighted and disregarded the dissuasion of the people around him. In the initial economic depression after the war, he went the other way and founded a securities company. He struggled alone in the most difficult and desperate darkness to find a glimmer of hope.

Atobe Hidego inherited his father's business, and has the innate rigor and conscientiousness of the Japanese. He has inherited and led the Atobe consortium into a glorious securities era with the excellent character of being conscientious and faithful.

Atobe Hirohiko is the pinnacle of the Atobe Consortium.

Before officially succeeding as the director of the company, he encountered a crazy baptism of financial turmoil, which made him more convinced that over-reliance on brokerage business will eventually bid farewell to the market. In addition to stock thinking, companies must also have incremental thinking. Innovation awareness is essential .As a result, the single profit status of the Atobe Consortium ended, the business model was relaxed, and a large amount of foreign investment was vigorously introduced, and the transformation was completed in the shortest possible time.

In the following less than three years, the Atobe consortium gained a firm foothold even in the European market. After the second financial turmoil, it completely established its dominance.

People will always remember that handsome, polite but never humble oriental youth, especially his arrogant famous saying: "For me, any crisis will be an opportunity."

Courage, credibility, and innovation are the hallmarks of the three generations.

In the generation of Keigo Atobe, it is theoretically difficult to surpass his father who has an aura of undefeated record, but he has always believed that he can lead the Atobe consortium to a new journey.

……

"Mitsui-san, which subject have you reviewed?"

Yukimura is always aware of the purpose of his trip, and since he promised the teacher to supervise him to the end, he must be serious and responsible.

Yui Mitsui, who ate well, slept well, had fun, didn't stay up late and didn't get up early, replied honestly: "...the fifth gate."

"..."

Yukimura was quite dissatisfied with this answer. He finished reviewing four subjects at his house the day before yesterday, and now he has only reached the fifth one. Didn't he read books in his spare time these two days?

Is it really because of Atobe's low efficiency?

"I'm going to end the remaining three doors today. Let's start with the fifth door. How much have you read?"

Yukimura sat down at the table and pushed aside the scattered chocolate balls in front of him.

Yui Mitsui sat down opposite him, and touched another piece of chocolate candy unconsciously: "It's almost there, I probably wrote down 90.00% of it."

"Okay, to save time, let me ask questions directly." Yukimura glanced at Yui Mitsui who was peeling chocolate candy balls, "Mitsui-san, please don't eat snacks when you are endorsing."

Yui Mitsui, who was criticized unceremoniously by name, had to put down the half-peeled chocolate ball.

Her obsession with chocolate candy balls is because of Mitsui Yuto.Mitsui Yuto would buy a large box of chocolate candy balls every winter, and put them in the next summer until they melted before throwing them away. He never ate them, and he never gave them to others.Mitsui Yui refused to listen to Nanako's dissuasion, refused to eat any chocolate at home, and insisted on boldly eating the chocolate candy balls offered by Mitsui Miyuto, and was beaten up by the latter.

She was always trying to kill herself, and she just wanted to do what he didn't allow her to do.

He formatted important surgical materials in his computer, dirty his treasured group photos, and even brought his cherished golden gems to class to show off to the children, and lost them in the end...

Time and time again, he challenged his patience, and never repented when he was beaten to the point of bleeding.

"Mitsui-san! Mitsui-san!"

The memory was interrupted by Yukimura, Yui Mitsui suddenly came back to his senses, realizing that he was distracted while reviewing again.

"Mitsui-san, you made a mistake here, the answer in the book is not like this."

What Yukimura corrected happened to be the question Atobe told her earlier, and she recited the answer Atobe explained.

What else did Atobe say?

"It is better to have no books than to believe in books."

"What did you say?"

Yukimura heard Yui Mitsui say this, and realized that she was obviously instigated by someone.

Atobe sat down next to Yui Mitsui, picked up a chocolate candy ball, and threw it high.

"In the eyes of 1000 people, there are [-] Hamlets, Yukimura?"

The implication is not to be too rigid about the answers in books, but to have your own ideas.

Yukimura raised his hand and threw an eraser, and the eraser hit the chocolate candy ball thrown by Atobu, and both of them fell to the ground after deviating from the track.

"There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and I know that." Yukimura leaned over to pick up the eraser and put it back in its original place. "But what I want to describe now is the one in the eyes of the examiner."

Atobe asked rhetorically: "What's the point of such an exam if you just memorize it by rote without any understanding of your own?"

Yukimura was slightly taken aback.

"...It doesn't make any sense at all."

Just to pass the exam, that's all.

Without passing this exam, Yui Mitsui could only continue wasting his time in the Faculty of Letters.It's better to do something meaningless now than to be doing something meaningless all the time.

If you want to do truly meaningful things, you must first have that qualification.

Yukimura can't help but think of the time when he struggled with chemistry in his third year of high school, the scene of hard rehabilitation in his third year of junior high school, and even when he first joined the tennis club when he was four years old. No one wanted to form doubles with him, was bullied by senior members, and was forced to Picking up the ball for someone else...

Those memories are not good, but they are unforgettable.

What do you mean by them?He couldn't tell.

Maybe it's meaningless in itself.

But without them, he might have given up on tennis by now.

There is always a path, it may be meaningless, but it is the only way.

"Let's not disturb Mitsui-san's review, let's go play tennis. I remember that the lower floor here is the indoor tennis court. You are a high-level VIP, so you should be able to apply for the right to use it."

Yukimura felt that two people chatting here would affect Yui Mitsui. In fact, it was enough for him to be here alone, but he couldn't drive Atobe away.

After all, the money to open the house was paid by Atobu, and he is the father of the funder.

Atobe looked at Mitsui's only eye, and said: "Then you should study hard here, take a break after you fail a review, and call me if you have anything to do."

...can you answer the phone while playing tennis?

Yui Mitsui thought so, but didn't ask.

She obediently stayed in the room to read. After reviewing the fifth door and reading the sixth door again, she got up and drank a glass of juice, and went to play the paid program that she didn't finish last night.

After pressing the paid program button again, I thought there would be a restricted rating that I didn't finish watching last night, but only one line of words appeared on the screen on the entire wall.

[Knowledge is the primary productive force, good boy, you'd better listen to your mother and Brother Cun and read the book carefully. 】

Yui Mitsui: "..."

When did he replace it?

What the hell is Brother Cun?

Out of curiosity and to relax, she also visited the indoor tennis court.

Atobe lost to Yukimura... there is no doubt about it.

After all, one is just an amateur player, and the other is already a professional player.

But when Yui Mitsui saw Atobe standing coquettishly with empty eyes, his heart was still shocked.

"What happened to Atobe?"

Yukimura's coat was fluttering on his shoulders. He unscrewed the drink bottle and took a sip of the salt soda: "The game is not over yet, he has lost his five senses."

Maybe it was not possible to suppress Atobe so quickly and completely before, but now there is no pressure.He didn't release the water, so it should take a long time for Atobe to return to his soul.

"Lose five senses? Did you knock him blind?"

Yukimura almost spit out the salt soda he drank.

"...It's not that serious."

"Did you hurt the retina and inner ear nerves or something?"

"……No."

Yukimura, who was born in Shawang, couldn't explain Yips in detail to Yui Mitsui, who had already removed the racket from Atobe.

"Then let me replace him for the next match." She held the tennis racket, pointed at Yukimura and said, "Let me also experience your strength."

Yukimura looked at Yui Mitsui's confident look, thinking she was a hidden master, and was quite interested.

The first ball, missed the net.

Yukimura: "..."

Mitsui Yui: "...It's just a feint."

The second ball, still missed the net.

Yukimura: "...is it still a feint?"

Yukimura, who already knew Mitsui's weight and taels, lost interest: "Let's serve from my side."

... He can't even serve, yet he still dares to challenge him, he is really not afraid of death.

Yui Mitsui learns tennis with her eyes. She only watched a complete match between Atobe and Jiro. Although she can't serve, she thinks she should be able to return the ball.

For her, playing tennis is about throwing a ball back onto the opponent's court.

With this simple idea, he returned to Yukimura for a few shots.

No matter which tricky angle Yukimura hits the ball later on, she can accurately throw it back.

For her, speed and strength are accumulated when playing basketball and fighting, but they lack key skills when used in tennis.

Gradually, she found that Yukimura's ball speed had increased a lot, getting faster and faster. Although her body could still keep up with the speed, her eyes were already tired.

Finally, the vision began to blur.

"Mitsui-san, do you want to continue?"

Yukimura noticed that Yui Mitsui had begun to experience visual fatigue. After all, she was just getting started, and he didn't want to use the kind of ruthlessness he used to deal with Atobe.

Mitsui Yui refused to stop.

She could still see the little yellow dot, so she typed back again.

Gradually, she could only see a vague halo.

Yips wasn't a trick from the start, it was a way of playing...

"A little bit more..."

Just a little bit...

Just hit the ball...

Atobe, who had been standing still behind her back, finally came back to her senses, grabbed her arm, and sent it forward with a little force.

……finally.

The racket hits the ball.

The little yellow ball went over the net.

Barely call it a short ball.

This is the first ball scored by Mitsui Yuishi.

Yukimura on the opposite side took a deep look at Atobe.

In fact, it was a piece of cake for him to hit the ball back just now.

But at that moment, he actually understood Atobe's eyes.

Atobe signaled him with his eyes: "Forget it, just let her have a ball."

Yui Mitsui, who had won a goal, was full of pride, turned around and said to Atobe: "We won a goal."

Atobe pinned the hair on the side of the ear behind her ears for her, and said with a light smile, "Yes, you have created a miracle, and the opponent is a professional player."

The pampering in the words is also palpable, and Yukimura can't feel sick to hear this time.

He thought he was probably used to it.

"That's the end of the game, I lost." Atobe stretched his body, but still said unforgivingly, "I will definitely win you next time."

At this moment, he himself knew that saying this sentence was just a mantra, and he no longer had that determination.

He looked at Yukimura, as if he saw himself in high spirits when he was 14 years old, and felt melancholy from the bottom of his heart for no reason.

Tennis is far away from him.

It will be farther and farther in the future.

And Tezuka and Yukimura are destined to go to the peak that he admires but has no chance to reach the top.

The trajectory of life has been staggered.

"Atobe, are your eyes okay?"

Yui Mitsui's gentle voice brought him back to reality.

There seemed to be a gust of wind blowing away the loneliness and melancholy in his heart.

He blinked at her: "No problem, what about you?"

Yukimura was really ruthless to him, even though the level of the two people was very different, he still used all his strength to smash him and his ice world into a mess.

But after all, he didn't hit Yui Mitsui hard, he just abused her a little bit, and finally let her win a goal...I didn't expect that Yukimura would have a day of kindness.

"I'm fine now. It's probably due to visual fatigue from watching the game for too long, but I feel much better now." Yui Mitsui returned the racket to Atobe, and extended his hand to Yukimura, "Thank you for your advice, Yukimura-kun."

Yukimura stretched out his hand to shake it back, and said softly, "I'll teach you how to serve if I have a chance."

"Thank you."

On the way back for the three of them, Atobe asked Yui Mitsui in a low voice: "You don't know how to play tennis, why do you want to be brave?"

Yui Mitsui can't say that she just doesn't want to read books and wants to make trouble. Anyway, she can brag to others if she wins Yukimura. toothache.

"If I don't watch you, you will serve Tannhauser again. And I can't watch you being bullied, I have to protect you."

Never before had such a person who hadn't played tennis for a day dared to stand in front of Yukimura and catch the ball.

...Because I can't watch him being bullied, I want to protect him.

Atobe admitted that he was a little moved by this rustic love story, and leaned closer and asked: "Then, whoever bullies me from now on, you will protect me?"

When people are in love, they usually like to ask some very boring questions, such as "will you love me forever", "do you still want me when I become ugly", "will you save me when aliens capture me?" " and so on, and as long as you get an affirmative answer, it seems certain that the other party can do it.

In fact, this is an unrealistic question, as sensible as Yui Mitsui, on such a boring question, she will probably say, "I don't know when it will be forever." "It depends on how ugly you are." , Can you save them?" "I can't guarantee that I can beat the aliens, but I will try."

But this time he gave Atobe a positive answer: "Of course."

"Then you," Atobe stopped and looked at her seriously, "you can't break your promise."

In the afternoon, Yui Mitsui continued to review seriously, and this time even the Atobu asked her to recite the answers directly.

The whole process was quiet and efficient, and only about her snacks, the two had another dispute.Seeing her working hard, Atobe eats chocolate balls and various cakes and ice cream freely, hoping that she can relieve stress.However, Yukimura suggested that she eat more fruits and nuts with low sugar content. The reason is that high-intensity review requires timely supplementation of nutrients.

One is due to her preferences.

One is from a health point of view.

The two insisted on their own words, and they were evenly matched.

Yui Mitsui looked a little touched, Atobe was like a mother, and Yukimura was like a father.

She thought so, and said so.

She even recalled that when she was a child, when she didn’t want to eat in winter, her mother took out ice cream for her to eat, but her father found out, not only stopped her from eating, but almost pried her mouth open to feed a bunch of vegetables and fruits.

Both Atobe and Yukimura, who were found by Mitsui Yui to find maternal love and fatherly love from himself, are not well.

Before ten o'clock in the evening, the seven homework reviews are completed, and all the key points have been mentioned, as long as you take the time to go through it again every day.

Mitsui Yui is glad that he has an innate super memory, otherwise the game would have been over.

The exam schedule is three next Thursday, two next Friday, and two next Monday.There was a transitional rest on Saturday and Sunday in the middle, and Yui Mitsui suddenly felt that his future was bright.

Not long ago, my life was in danger and the public opinion was entangled. Now I have a boyfriend, I want to change my major, and my family is going to have dinner on weekends... I'm super excited just thinking about it!

Seeing that she was in good condition, Yukimura was also relieved, and finally he was able to explain to the teacher... Although the teacher emphasized repeatedly, he was also entrusted by others.

Who was entrusted, even if he was beaten to death, he would not say.

Those whom Yukimura suspected were ruled out one by one, and finally returned to Atobe.

...This deadly tsundere, maybe it's because of face, so let's not talk about it.

Just let him continue pretending.

After dinner, Yukimura also tasted a glass of non-alcoholic champagne highly recommended by Atobe.

...The taste is very ordinary, not as good as the [-] yen discounted fruit juice.

I really want to complain, but I remind myself not to be mean, others have good intentions.

One second, Atobe was still talking about his latest plan, and the next second, it was displayed on his phone that his grandfather had made a video call.

It is impossible to pretend not to answer the phone, you will be scolded to death, but if you answer it, you will also be scolded to death...

Yukimura calmly adjusted the holographic projection in the room to [British mode], let Atobe and his grandfather pretend to be aggressive, and then walked to the next door with Yui Mitsui calmly.

"It's not easy for Atobe, but it's good to practice and practice."

Shocked that Yukimura could say such an old man's words, Yui Mitsui could only follow nonsense: "Atobe should be even more dazzling after training."

The premise is that he was not killed by Hidego Atobe.

"Even Atobe, there are many things that cannot be done."

Yui Mitsui nodded: "Even Atobe cannot pick off the stars from the sky."

...Picking the stars?

"It would be great if there was a shooting star that could make a wish to pass the exam."

...A shooting star wishing?

Yukimura pressed the button on the wall, and the surroundings became completely dark, extremely quiet.

No one is more familiar with Akashi's design than him.

After all, he is one of the original artists of these things.

Then, it slowly lit up again.

Yui Mitsui saw the vast Milky Way around her.

Is this activating... space mode?

In space, it is impossible to tell the difference between east, west and north. Only a blue and white hemisphere is slowly rising, and it is getting bigger and bigger.

"That's Earthrise, Earthrise." Yukimura introduced, "It's the process of the earth rising. Because we are not on the earth now, we can appreciate this process. No matter how many times I watch it, I think it is very beautiful."

If you don't go to space in this life, you may only be able to see the mysterious and magnificent Earthrise here.

Yukimura tilted his head and smiled at her: "Are you ready to make a wish on the shooting star?"

"Eh?"

The stars flew above their heads, looking from a distance, they seemed to have rubbed a layer of glittering gold powder on the black screen.

"come over."

He beckoned, and a star obediently fell down and fell into his hand.

"Snapped--"

Yukimura snapped his fingers, and the falling meteors bloomed a dazzling golden light at his fingertips, matching the shallow smile at the corner of his mouth, and then turned into countless fragments of starlight, which dissipated towards the surroundings.

After the light dissipated, a red rose bloomed on his fingertips.

Yui Mitsui saw that it was the candy wrapper of the leftover chocolate candy balls she had eaten before, and she asked Atobe to throw it away, but Atobe didn't bother to throw it away, but was folded into a flower by the ingenious Yukimura.

"Have you made a wish?"

"Ah."

The earth finally rose above their heads, shining like a sapphire with complex textures. Yukimura handed the roses to Yui Mitsui and said in a low voice: "...I also asked Meteor just now, and it said you are fine."

The author has something to say

Akashi: Use my technology to pick up my woman, good luck to you Yukimura!

Atobe: Like my snapping fingers, picking up my candy wrappers, good luck, Yukimura!
