Chapter 325 No 2 "Affair"
"I heard that you have returned to China, but I didn't expect to meet here." Beside the open-air cafe, Cheng Mei said shyly.
Next to me, Atobe looked at me, who was trying to piece together the memories, with suspicious eyes.
This situation is a long story.
Briefly.The father of the twins and my stinky old man are in the relationship of senior and junior.Back then in the Tennis Club of Qingxue, the two were teammates as well as competitors.
The object of competition has developed from the level of tennis to the number of fans who are more or less, the quality of girlfriends is better or worse, who is better at getting married and starting a career, and finally falls on the children.According to the old man's words, no matter what aspect, his grass-roots faction has completely and completely defeated the pretentious aristocratic Paijiyuan.
What makes the old man proud is that he has my son to inherit the great achievements of his father's generation (although it is completely forced), while that Yijiyuan only has daughters—even if there are two. (Tennis is the world of men. Women’s tennis? Well, of course it’s also very important. The most important point is that the players must be beautiful women in tight mini tennis skirts—that’s what is pleasing to the eye~ hehe [the old man’s original words])
As the daughter of Ijuin, Kumi Narumi was just as miserable as I was, and was forced to play tennis before she was sensible.From the analysis of my hazy memory fragments, we probably met several times when we were young.
"I read about you in the newspaper, Brother Ryoma." Chengmei smiled and looked up at me, "You are still as good as before, Uncle Echizen must be very happy~"
Although I was often criticized mercilessly at home, but outside, the old man loved to praise me to the sky.I remember before, the old man liked to show off in front of others that my son was tall and my son was short.Sometimes I even wondered if Uncle Yijiyuan couldn't stand the old man's noise so he returned to China early?
"How are you and Jiumei?" In my impression, although Chengmei is the older sister, she seems to have been weak and sick since she was a child, while Jiumei is much more lively and healthy.
"Recently, Jiumei lost in the first round of a competition that was expected to win." Chengmei lowered her head slightly, "Then, I won the championship."
"Ah." I woke up like a dream and took out a new tennis magazine from my bag (the old man forced it to me last night, and now I understand why).
Turning to one of the pages based on my impression, I handed it to Chengmei, "This is it."
The title of that page is a line of eye-catching red letters: No. 19 back to primary school girls' tennis competition winner!In the middle is a half-length photo of Cheng Mei holding a tennis racket.The following is a note in bold: A genius girl in the fourth grade of elementary school has appeared!Narumi Ijuin was born in Tokyo.
Looking at the praiseworthy words in the magazine, Cheng Mei's expression turned unhappy. "I was probably too happy at the time to realize Kumi's feelings earlier."
"Jiume, let's go play tennis~" In the morning, Chengmei pushed open the door of Jiumi's room, but was startled by the mess all over the floor.
"I've given up on tennis. 』Stepping on the racket lying on the ground, Kumi walked past Narumi expressionlessly.
"what are you saying? "Chengmei couldn't believe it, "You are just escaping like this!" 』
"Chengmei..." Turning her back to her sister, Kumi said softly, "You won't understand how I feel. 』
"She said she was going to look for something she liked more than tennis." Cheng Mei clasped her hands together, worried, "Actually, she likes tennis more than anyone else."
"So that's how it is~" Atobe raised his chin in a sudden realization, "That's why he's starving at Fuji~" Hey...
"It's not that I don't understand Jiumei's mood." After being silent for a while, Chengmei carefully took out a small box from her bag.Open the box, inside is a shiny gold medal.
"I didn't get this by myself. Kumi is my greatest rival in tennis and my best confidant." Looking up, she looked at me earnestly, "Brother Ryoma, can you help me hand this over to me?" Kumi?"
Why?why me?
"Jiume has loved following you since she was a child." Is there?Not impressed. (Author: Your memory, it's strange to have an impression.)
"She always keeps the tennis racket keychain you gave her with her." I remembered this, didn't she go away with tears and snot?At the beginning, I was quite heartbroken for a while - for my beloved keychain...
"please."
——I couldn't resist the girl's begging eyes.
"Why do you have to worry about the troubles of two girls when you go shopping well?" Despite complaining dissatisfiedly, Atobe still dialed Fuji's cell phone (the number he asked from Oishi).
"There they are." From afar, I saw Fuji and Kumi standing by the bridge railing overlooking the river.
"I won't go there yet." Cheng Mei stopped in her tracks.She is still so caring.
Acting like a big brother when I was a child, I patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Jiumei will understand your mind."
"En." Cheng Mei blushed and nodded.
Striding over, Atobe followed with a strange expression.
"Kumi." I raised my hand and greeted loudly.
"Brother Ryoma, why are you..." Jiumei looked at me in a daze.Bu Er beside her looked over with the same strange expression.
"I met your sister just now." I cut to the chase.
Jiumei's face suddenly darkened, "Meet Chengmei? No wonder..."
"En." I nodded readily, "Chengmei said, there is something I want to hand over to you. You will definitely not accept what she said she would give you now."
Kumi frowned.kindness?Did I say something wrong?
"Chengmei said that she will get this medal, thanks to you who practiced with me." I took out the small box from my trouser pocket, opened it, and I handed it to Jiumei, "So she wants to give this to you."
"Winning medal?" Kumi stared at the box.
"Yes, the winning medal."
"It's Chengmei, Chengmei," Jiumei suddenly looked up at me, "You think of me only when you see Chengmei, brother Ryoma?"
Huh?I was stunned by her sudden questioning, but I felt guilty and couldn't say anything to justify.In fact, even if I met Chengmei first, I still can't remember it.The point is, I have to see two before I remember, ah, there seemed to be such a pair of twins before.
"What, this kind of thing is not my own!" Suddenly reaching for the medal, Kumi threw it vigorously.
"what!"
With a "plop", the medal fell into the river.
"I hate mindless meddling!" Jiumei clenched her fists and yelled at me, "How can you and Chengmei, two winners, understand my feelings! If Chengmei and you sympathize with me, it would be better to give up tennis." good!"
Turning her head, she rushed out crying, and just about to catch up, she put a hand on my shoulder, and Fuji's voice was soft but firm, "Leave it to me."
Stopping, I looked at the back of Fuji who was running away.
"Brother Longma." Cheng Mei's worried voice came from behind.
"Don't worry." Looking at her, I smiled, "My senpai will convince Jiumei." Fuji-senpai should be able to express Chengmei's feelings to Jiumei well.Because, he has a younger brother, Yuta.
The sunset glow reddened the whole river.
"My uncle is actually reduced to doing this kind of hard work~" mumbling unhappily, with his trouser legs rolled up, Atobe bent over and groped diligently in the river.Suddenly, he shouted, "Yes!"
"Found it?" I, who was bending over and groping in the river like him, looked up in surprise.
"Cut, no!" Frustrated, he threw the worn-out pocket watch in his hand on the river bank, and Atobu raised his hand to wipe the sweat dripping from his cheek.
"Pfft!" Pointing my finger at him, I covered my stomach and laughed.
"What's so ridiculous?" Atobe looked puzzled.But it made me laugh even harder.
"What the hell are you laughing at?!" Frowning tightly, Atobe's mouth curled up.He pretended to roll up his sleeves and stroke his arms, and approached him (in fact, his sleeves were already rolled up), "If you don't make it clear, you will be served by torture!"
Raising my hand to hook his neck, I held back a smile and carefully wiped off the mud on his face with my cuff.After the sassafras was finished, he still stiffly maintained a ridiculous posture of bowing his head.
Today's Atobe made me feel as relaxed as Kikumaru Momoki and the others. "Okay~" Putting down my hand, I poked him with my elbow, the big face has returned to a little boy, and I can start working.
"Ryoma." Just as he was about to bend down to continue searching, his shoulders were suddenly grabbed.Looking up, under the reflection of the afterglow of the setting sun and the sparkling ripples, in the backlight, Trace's expression was hazy and blurred, and his voice was strangely hoarse and uncertain, "You also have..."
The cold big hand caressed my cheek, but he didn't make any further wiping movements, instead he brought his face closer.
Is this guy actually nearsighted?I was wondering, when I suddenly heard a call from the bank, "Ryoma~"
Narimi Kumi stood on the embankment and waved to us, and Fuer who greeted us rolled up his trouser legs and waded over.Seeing the smiling face, the problem is probably solved.
"You have gained a lot today, Fuji~" Atobe was smiling, but the words were squeezed out between his teeth.
"Don't mention it, I was almost stolen on the road~" Fuji was also smiling, but his eyes were narrowed, but the cold air was blowing out.
I couldn't understand what they said, but I could clearly feel the resentment between the two.Perhaps, they are a natural enemy and a partnership like Taocheng Haitang?Comforting myself, away from the battlefield, I walked towards Kumi and the others on the shore.
There was something hard under my feet, and I leaned over to fish it out.The medals picked up glistened in the setting sun. "found it!"
"Thank you, brother Ryoma! Thank you to the two big brothers over there!" Cheng Meijiumei ran over happily.
"What should I say?" Hiding the medal behind my back, I looked sideways at Kumi.
"I will not give up tennis." Kumi's voice was soft but firm, blushing.She turned around and looked at Chengmei with shining eyes, "I will not lose to my sister!"
"Me too! I won't lose to Jiumei!" Chengmei's eyes sparkled likewise.The two clapped hands tacitly.
"Qualified." As soon as the medal was handed over, I heard a rumbling sound in my stomach.God is sorry, because of this medal, it is almost evening, and I didn't even eat lunch.
"Brother Ryoma, I know there is a hamburger restaurant nearby." Kumi pulled my left arm flatteringly.
"There is also a delicious Korean barbecue. I heard that the grilled fish is very good." Cheng Mei quietly took my right arm.
"No!" Someone grabbed his shoulders firmly one by one, and the faces of the two behind him were grim, "I haven't finished today's task yet!"
Half dragged and half dragged away, I reluctantly waved my hands at the two sisters who were standing there, and I was very reluctant to part with it—goodbye~ my hamburger, my grilled fish...
The author has something to say:
If she didn't know each other at all, would Chengmei hand over such an important medal to a stranger with just a few words of conversation?
If you don't know each other at all, with the protagonist's personality of being nosy, would you notice the elementary school girl wins?
Plus Japan is so small.From this, the author arbitrarily concludes that the two families must be familiar with each other.
