But there was no trace of regret on his face.

Sakurano would always look away in a panic after seeing Joetsuzen Ryoma, and then she would think in her heart, "Oh, what a shame, if Ryoma-kun sees it, he will definitely think I'm a strange person." girl."

In fact, Echizen Ryoma didn't feel much at all.

The chirping of the cicadas on the tree finally stopped its endless noise in the summer, and it made people feel a lot quieter in their ears, and even felt that the world had stopped turning.

Ying Nao often looks at the children who have just entered Qingxue, and when she sees them running on the playground, she will remember that she and Tomoka played together on the playground last year, and suddenly her surroundings will be full of excitement. There is some sadness.If Tomoka was by her side at this time, she would laugh heartlessly, patted Sakura on the shoulder and said nonchalantly, "What are you worried about, we still have more than a year to graduate."

Sakurano often watched Echizen Ryoma downstairs walking out of the teaching building with a tennis racket, and then said with a helpless smile, "Yes, that's right."

Last year, Sakurano had just met Echizen Ryoma.

And next year, maybe there will be a full stop between her and him.

But after all, there is still more than a year before the real separation.

For the future, let's talk about it later.

Part11

Autumn is also gradually disappearing in the cycle of four seasons, and it is already December in a blink of an eye.

The temperature began to gradually become colder, and the occasional gust of wind could cause many people to shiver.The sky darkened quickly.

In such weather, Ryuzaki Sakura would often hold a hot water bottle in his hand, stand on the window sill of the classroom and look at the students who can still be active on the playground even in winter.

From the slightly dry fresh air in the morning reflecting the arrival of a new day, to the early dusk at night.

Ryuzaki Sakura has always maintained such a habit and posture very quietly.As a result, friends and friends often feel that Sakura's thinking is different from others.

Only Ying Nao herself understands that when she looks at the dim sky, she will have a sense of confusion about the future in her heart, the second country that has arrived, the upcoming third country, and everything she faces in the future Unknown, and he...

Ryuzaki Sakura watched Echizen Ryoma running on the tennis court from a height, struggling to hit the ball. It turned out that the cold he felt in his body could not stop his fanatical love of tennis.

Should I express my feelings to him?

For many junior high school students who hate winter, December does not feel too empty and boring because of the existence of Christmas.

In fact, Youth Academy has been caught in the pre-Christmas excitement as early as the beginning of December.Every day after school, there will be many students discussing Christmas dinner and Christmas PARTY.Coupled with the fact that Christmas is approaching now, many boys and girls are already making sufficient preparations for Christmas gifts.

Echizen Ryoma's birthday is on December 12, so for Sakurano, the gift for Ryoma should be more meaningful.However, Tatsuzaki Sakura is the kind of person who has a headache for the word "gift", because so far.She had no idea what Echizen Ryoma liked at all.

So when Tomoka asked her "Sakura, what kind of gift are you going to give Ryoma SAMA".

Sakura could only laugh awkwardly while holding her schoolbag, and then replied blushingly, "That!...I haven't decided on a gift for Ryoma-kun yet." She paused for two seconds, then tilted her head to ask Tomoka, "Xiao Peng, what about you, what gift do you give?"

After hearing the question, Peng Xiang also lowered her head and hesitated for a few seconds, then raised her face with a slight apology, "I'm sorry, Sakura, I think I'd better keep it a secret."

After hearing this, Sakurano Ryuzaki couldn't force her to ask further. Although she was really curious, she could only smile and say, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, we will know when the time comes!"

The matter of Christmas gifts can only come to an end.

Part12

A few days passed without mercy, and Christmas finally came in the anticipation of most people.

In the past few days, in order to give Ryoma a gift, Sakurano really thought about it for a long time, and visited many boutiques, but she still couldn't find the most suitable gift for Ryoma.

Because the things in boutiques are not suitable for boys at all!

But where are the things suitable for boys?

Seeing Christmas approaching step by step, Ying Nai was very anxious in her heart. Finally, in desperation, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the tennis shop, and said politely to the salesperson inside, "Please Give me a tennis ball."

Really, the racket is too expensive and there is not enough pocket money, and the last gift is only tennis balls.

Ryuzaki Sakura thought unwillingly after buying the ball.

Echizen Ryoma's birthday should be on Christmas Eve, but for the sake of convenience, it also looks more atmospheric. Momoshiro-senpai said on his own initiative that Ryoma's birthday should be arranged on the 25th to celebrate Christmas together. A touch of 'SI' next to it indicates a good idea.

After school that day, Echizen Ryoma's desk had a lot of unopened presents, filling the desk to the brim, making Horio, who only received a few presents next to him, feel very depressed.

"What are you doing? It's all from the tennis club. Why is that boy Echizen so lucky and has so many gifts!!" Horio tidied his schoolbag angrily, and looked at Echizen with resentment from time to time. Echizen, who was not far away from him, ignored his gaze at all, and still looked out of the window on his own, the angry Horio had no choice but to throw the book into his schoolbag even harder.

When Ryuzaki Sakurano and Tomoka appeared in Echizen Ryoma's class, there was only Ryoma in the classroom, and the Horio trio who were waiting for the seniors who had graduated to come back and have a party like Ryoma.

Sakura has been blushing ever since she stepped into Echizen Ryoma's classroom. The distance of only a few steps is still so far away for her. Last Christmas, she didn't know his birthday, so she didn't give him a gift. This year, she gave him a gift. Don't know if he will like his Christmas present.Sakura thought secretly in her heart.

On the other side, Tomoka, who was walking beside Sakurano, has been very excited since entering the classroom, although her usual performance has always been very excited, Tomoka put her hands behind her back, holding a bright yellow tennis ball in her back hand, she With a smile on his face, he almost jumped and followed Sakurano.

Ryuzaki Sakura finally walked to Ryoma's seat, she habitually lowered her head, and took out a tennis ball with Ryoma's head drawn on it from her bag, "Ry...Ryoma-kun, this is a gift for...for you, I wish... Merry Christmas and a happy birthday to you."

Part13

When Tomika's eyes touched the tennis ball that Sakurano gave to Ryoma, she suddenly felt that the air around her suddenly lost all oxygen in an instant, filled with a pain that made her suffocate, as if she still felt Some warm bodies suddenly fell into the cold ice cellar, forming a thick layer of frost.

She felt that at this moment, she began to hate herself.

Thinking of this, Peng Xiang couldn't help clenching the tennis ball with his hand behind her. With such strength, she could see the slight whitening of her knuckles. It seemed that this was the only way to prevent people from seeing what gift she was giving.

On the other side, Ryuzaki Sakurano and Echizen Ryoma didn't feel any subtle changes in the atmosphere at all.Echizen Ryoma took the tennis ball that Sakurano gave him, and saw a picture of himself wearing a hat and smiling.There was a faint trace in his heart.

It turns out that my usual self has such a face!

In fact, among the many gifts today, many are more expensive than this gift, and many gifts are more beautiful than this gift, because those girls who gave him gifts think that only a prince can accompany them, and Only Echizen Ryoma felt that he was just an ordinary person, and what he needed was an ordinary gift.

The corner of Echizen Ryoma's mouth also gradually raised a calm smile, he turned towards Sakurano, and raised the tennis ball she gave him, "Thank You, Ryuzaki."

Ryuzaki Sakura was happy because of Echizen Ryoma's liking, with a shy blush on her face, she said slowly "You're welcome, Ryoma-kun" and then suddenly remembered something, and stood behind her, today Peng Xiang, who was extremely quiet, said, "Didn't you say that there are gifts too, kid?"

After hearing Sakura call her name, Tomoka came back to her senses. She raised her head and saw that the eyes of the three people including Horio, Echizen Ryoma and Tatsuzaki Sakura were all staring at her. It got a lot darker.

After a long time, she finally said, "I'm sorry, Ryoma SAMA, I forgot to bring the gift, hehehehe."

Everyone present could hear how fake her smile was.

Peng Xiang also felt that her smile was fake, but she couldn't laugh as heartlessly as before. She didn't tell Ying Nao what gift she was going to give in advance, because she was afraid that it would cause embarrassment if she gave the same gift.But I didn't expect that that kind of embarrassment still exists unexpectedly now.

Pengxiang's eyes were covered with a layer of water vapor, then she shrugged and said to Sakurano pretending to be indifferent, "Sakura, hehe, I'm not feeling well today, the party at night
