afternoon sun

, We will not be so miserable at that time. Ryuzaki Sakura also looked up at the ceiling and thought for a moment, then smiled and said to Tomoka, "Little friend, didn't you say it was still early!" "Pengxiang immediately withdrew his gaze and said," yes. "

Ryuzaki Sakurano and Tomoka were chatting and laughing on the way home from school. A few students from Tachikai University walked up to them. When those students looked at the school uniforms that Sakurano and Tomoka were wearing, they couldn't help saying: .

"Actually, Qingxue didn't do anything special last year. In last year's national competition, our Lihai University just let them in."

"That's right, especially that Echizen Ryoma, who is actually just showing off his skills."

A few people walked past Sakura and Tomoka with provocative words. Sakura saw that Tomoka's face suddenly became ugly. In fact, she got the answer right, and Tomoka immediately turned around and pointed to those who were standing in the sea. student yelled

"You are not allowed to talk about Qingxue, and you are not allowed to talk about Ryoma SAMA. You Lihai are amazing. If you are so great, you can't even beat our Qingxue. Now you will only shout here."

Several students of Lihai University were frightened by Pengxiang's sudden cry behind them, and when they looked back, they saw Pengxiang's face of hard work, and then they knew it was their fault, so they had to keep walking forward in silence.

Sakura stood there and looked at Tomoka who was arguing for Qingxue and Ryoma, and suddenly felt that this was her familiar friend. Suddenly, it seemed that she was back in the fourth grade. Tomoka was punished by the teacher to stand in order to help her. scene.

Sakura raised her head and looked at the sky above, "Christmas is over, and New Year's Day is about to usher, so this year is about to pass."

Part17

Time has always been traveling around the world like a tireless messenger.Conscious people will feel that it is very long, but unconscious people will feel that time often passes quickly.

Ryuzaki Sakurano often feels that she is such a person who realizes the time very late.Because sometimes, it seems that in a sudden, more than half a year has passed by before my eyes.It's as if my mind is still stuck around last year's Christmas, and now it's the early summer of the next year.

Because it is New Year's Day and New Year's Day in January, Tokyo becomes more lively than ever. Girls in kimonos and boys in Japanese orthodox men's clothing come and go on the streets.Sakurano also wore a kimono and went to the temple fair with her family to pray for a safe new year. By accident, she met Echizen Ryoma who also prayed with her family.

Sakura thought that she had never seen Ryoma wearing Japanese orthodox men's clothing. It seemed that he was much more mature and handsome than when he was playing in sportswear. Shaking his head, he blushed unconsciously, "Ryuzaki Sakurano, what are you thinking!"

In February, most of the schools in Tokyo have already started the winter vacation. Many students will regard the winter vacation as a period of self-adjustment and relaxation, but only Echizen Ryoma, only he will think that the winter vacation Just give him more time to practice tennis well.

So when Ryoma walked to the street tennis court and saw Ryuzaki Sakura practicing, his mind suddenly jumped to the time of the New Year. Echizen Nanjiro ran to him with a smile and said, "Youth, your love luck this year." Very good!" At that time, Ryoma still looked at his father who had always been unruly, and responded, "You old man."

Echizen Ryoma himself didn't know why he jumped out of this scene when he saw Sakura was practicing.

March is the beginning of school, because spring is gradually approaching, so except for a few students who are very afraid of the cold, the shadow of heavy winter school uniforms will no longer be often seen on campus, and everything seems to be gradually warming up.Ryuzaki Sakurano stepped into the classroom and saw Tomoka who had just returned from a trip, and then began to take things that Tomoka put in her hands non-stop.Sakura is having a headache, "How should I take home so many things?"

On the other hand, the instigator who gave Sakura a headache suddenly thought of something, picked up the last gift in the bag and ran to Echizen Ryoma's classroom, then put the things on Ryoma's desk and said to Ryoma with a smile, " Ryoma SAMA, please cheer up with Sakurano!"

This sentence made Echizen Ryoma confused, and Ryuzaki Sakurano, who came after Tomika, blushed.

Tokyo in April is already filled with the smell of cherry blossoms, and when you walk slowly on the street, you will be surrounded by cherry blossom petals.This feeling is very comfortable.Echizen Ryoma often went home with A Tao-senpai, and then listened to A Tao-senpai complaining non-stop, "It's a painful day in the third year of junior high school", "Why is that dead poisonous snake better in Chinese than me!" and so on, and Echizen Ryoma usually After hearing the complaint, it goes in one ear and out the other.

Because Ryoma has always believed that listening to A Tao-senpai's speech is better than looking at the cherry blossoms on the roadside!Because deep in my memory, there seems to be a girl who looks like Sakura, but her appearance is still just a faint outline.When Ryoma thought of this, he suddenly came back to his senses.Then I thought to myself, "If I think that way, I must have been confused by that stinky old man."

In May, Echizen Ryoma announced that he would go abroad to play games again. After hearing the news, many people were happy, many people were sad, and many people were silent.Ryuzaki Sakura feels that she has all three moods, because she doesn't know if Echizen Ryoma can also come back to study together like Kunji, but he is still happy for Ryoma.Because Ryoma is one step closer to his great dream.

So after Echizen Ryoma left, Sakurano used to draw a cross on the calendar, and draw a cross after a day.Because she always hoped to paint until that day, or when the days gradually passed, Echizen Ryoma would come back.

Of course Ryuzaki Sakura knew that what she did was stupid.

But in this way, with such a little bit of expectation, it will be satisfied!

In this way, Ryuzaki Sakura at this time drew another cross on the last day of June.

Part18

In the midsummer of July, Ryuzaki Sakura felt that she could finally understand the feelings of those quasi-junior third-year students in the past.

Because of the long summer vacation, every school in Tokyo usually takes a few weeks to make up lessons for the students who are about to enter the third grade in the second grade, so that the admission rate for next year's entrance examination can be maintained at a good level. level.As a result, every quasi-junior third-year student who was making up classes under the scorching heat had a deep feeling that the summer vacation was coming, and the disaster had also arrived.

Every time after finishing the make-up class, Sakura would go home with a stack of review materials with Tomoka and Horio, and sometimes there would be another Momo who had just finished the entrance exam and looked at Sakura and the others with a gloating expression City seniors.And every time at this time, as long as she sees the expression of Senior Momoshiro, Sakura will think, if Ryoma is also going home with her, she should be mocking Senior Momoshiro again now.

Ryuzaki Sakurano would cover her mouth and laugh softly every time she thought of that scene.

After saying goodbye to Tomoka and the others, when they returned home, they habitually picked up the remote control to turn on the air conditioner. Sakura found how much enjoyment the cool space in the air-conditioned room compared to the world outside which was being baked by the sun at this time. .Then Sakurano smiled in satisfaction and turned around, her eyes inadvertently glanced at the table behind her, on which was spread this morning's newspaper, the headline on it read [Japanese tennis player Echizen Ryoma was born at a young age] Achieved good results on the professional network. 】

Sakura excitedly picked up the newspaper and started to read it quickly. The pictures in the newspaper were the movements of Ryoma hitting the ball hard on the court. Sakura couldn't help but smile when she saw it, "Ryoma-kun, he is just like us now." I'm working hard! '

At this moment, Ryuzaki Sumire's voice sounded behind Sakurano at the right time, "Sakurano, you're back!"

Ryuzaki Sakura put down the newspaper in his hand, turned his head and said, "Well, grandma, I just got home." Then he watched Sumire Ryuzaki pull away the chair by the table and sit down, picked up the newspaper Sakurano just read, Not long after, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Ryoma is more and more like his father, Nanjiro."

"Well, yes!"

"Ryoma himself has become more and more mature, I'm afraid Aigaku will not be able to keep him anymore." Sumire Ryuzaki's plain words were filled with the sigh of an old man.

Ryuzaki Sakurano looked at grandma quietly, the smile she had just lost on her face, and what Ryuzaki Sumire just said just kept lingering in her mind. "Longma-kun... is getting more and more mature... Will the distance from us be getting farther and farther? '

The next day was still the day of make-up lessons, and when I left the school, it was still Sakurano, Horio, Tomika, and Momoshiro.

Horio has been scratching his head irritably since he walked out of school, "Oh, why is the content of the third year of junior high school so troublesome."

Tomoka stood beside him and responded proudly, "That's because Horio, you don't listen well in class, right, Sakurano?" Turning her head and smiling at Ryugasaki Sakurano who has been silent since she walked out of the school, seeing her friend? After any reaction, Pengxiang stretched out his hand and gently pushed her, "Sakura Nao..."

"Oh, Kosakata, you don't need to push anymore, Ryuzaki is probably thinking about Echizen again, really, this kid's life is so good." Hori

Tail yelled jealously.

"Echizen said that he is coming back." Momoshiro, who had been walking beside Sakurano, said casually, "The day after tomorrow afternoon.
