Prince of Tennis: I am actually Echizen Nanjiro

Chapter 109 Join

"Mr. Nanjiro's heart will never get cold even if it's drenched by rain." Tezuka Kunimitsu handed the cup back to him, "It has always been bright, warm, strong and full of power, giving people encouragement and hope."

"You...you..." Tezuka, what are you talking about!

Echizen Nanjiro stepped forward and touched his forehead: "Do you have a fever? You're starting to talk nonsense..."

Tezuka Kunimitsu's eyes were clear and bright, indicating that he was not "talking nonsense" as Nanjiro thought.

"You are so good, Tezuka. At first you wanted to make me sympathize with you by showing weakness, and now you want to make me happy by praising me, right?" Echizen Nanjiro poured another full cup of ginger soup mercilessly. "You are so scheming, Tezuka, but I won't be fooled. I am particularly sober today."

But what he didn't know was that his face was turning red little by little...

Does Tezuka like my heart?

No, no, Nanjiro, this is just Tezuka's "maze" for you, a "sugar-coated bullet" thrown to you, and sweet words to coax you.

Don't take it seriously, if you do you will lose.

Three cups of ginger soup, no matter what, Tezuka must drink it today.

At least you're going to win this time, Nanjiro.

We cannot just "surrender" to Tezuka Kunimitsu, otherwise he will become even more aggressive in the future.

Tezuka finished his drink very quickly.

It doesn’t seem like I’m “afraid” of ginger soup at all.

Although he knew it was meaningless to do this to Tezuka, he just wanted to prove himself.

Tezuka Kunimitsu lowered his head slightly: "I'm sorry that today's date did not leave you with a good memory, Mr. Nanjiro."

It’s okay, I ate ice cream, Echizen Nanjiro thought.

Wait! A date?

Tezuka said today's is a date!

Echizen Nanjiro exclaimed, "Hey! Is today a date, Tezuka? You and me?"

So, Tezuka was waiting for him either because he had something serious to discuss with him, or simply...

Dating!

Just like what I said jokingly!

Tezuka remained silent, but Echizen Nanjiro actually saw a hint of depression in him.

This is an emotion that is extremely incompatible with Kunimitsu Tezuka.

No! Echizen Nanjiro thought, we can't let it stay with Tezuka.

And for such a trivial matter.

It can't even be called a "small matter", it can barely be considered a "trivial matter".

He placed his palm on Tezuka's arm and shook it gently: "This is the first time that you took me with you, Tezuka, and the two of us went out to buy ice cream together. Don't you think this is a good memory, Tezuka?"

"Mr. Nanjiro?" Tezuka Kunimitsu raised his head and looked at him.

Echizen Nanjiro lowered his head: "Actually, I don't care what I do with you, Tezuka. It's good enough that we can be together."

Unknowingly, he and Tezuka have experienced a lot together and have many memories of each other.

Laughter, tears, joy, sadness, excitement, grief...

This young man triggered so many emotions and feelings in him.

He was once afraid to touch his cold and raw outer mask, but he was also fascinated by his noble and unyielding will and soul. He admired his noble character and appreciated his upright conduct.

He had longed for his perfection.

At the beginning.

Later, he understood.

Kunimitsu Tezuka, he is always a boy.

He makes me angry and also makes me sad; he also feels helpless, but he knows how to hide it.

He is not omnipotent, but he demands himself to be omnipotent.

He was never perfect, he was always striving for perfection.

Echizen Nanjiro thought, I love him, it has been like this since the beginning.

I love his perfection and I love his imperfections too.

I love his good side, and I also love his bad side.

I love his smile and his warmth, and I also love his seriousness and his persistence.

I love him who makes me laugh, and I also love him who makes me cry.

I love him who makes me feel happy and joyful, and I still love him who makes me feel sad and grief-stricken.

No matter what he is like, I love him.

Tezuka Kunimitsu, I...

I feel so confused and can't make sense of it.

Echizen Nanjiro suddenly hugged him.

Because I don't want Tezuka to see me like this.

He whispered in Tezuka's arms: "I think every day with you is good."

Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of the empty cup of ginger soup.

Echizen Nanjiro smiled with relief.

Tezuka Kunimitsu, whether you are sincere or not, now that things have come to this, I am willing to accept defeat.

You win today.

The third cup... never mind...

As if he heard what was in his heart, Tezuka hugged him even tighter.

Echizen Nanjiro hurriedly comforted him and patted his back gently.

Okay, okay, Tezuka, I won’t pour you a third cup.

In order to escape "punishment", this young man really "did everything he could", and finally used his "big killer" and "magic weapon".

Really, you are still pretending to be so "righteous", it turns out that you, Tezuka, are also "afraid" of ginger soup.

In the living room, Tezuka Kuniharu saw how the two were getting along and said in surprise, "I didn't expect that Kunimitsu and his coach had such a good relationship."

He knew that his son, Tezuka Kunimitsu, did have strong leadership and management abilities, but how could he have expected Kunimitsu to be so capable that he even managed his coach and even managed every aspect of his life?

This coach seems to have a soft personality. I don’t know if it’s a good thing for him to meet Guoguang, or if it’s a big headache for him.

"Hey, Ayana, where's the ginger soup?" Tezuka Kuniharu asked curiously.

Didn’t you just say that you were going to the kitchen to get some ginger soup for everyone to drink to ward off the cold?

Tezuka Ayana smiled as usual: "Look at me, I was so caught up in something that I forgot everything. I'll get it later. But I have to prepare tea for Mr. Nanjiro first."

Tezuka Kuniharu slapped his forehead and said, "I am confused too. I can't even remember such an important thing. I will go with you, but please don't let others think that we are neglecting you."

Echizen Nanjiro and Tezuka Kunimitsu came out from the kitchen.

Tezuka Kuniichi greeted, "Mr. Nanjiro, please take a seat."

Echizen Nanjiro did not dare to slack off. After sitting down, he raised his eyes and looked at the old man carefully.

It is said that Tezuka's strict and serious personality was inherited from him.

So nervous.

He secretly looked at Tezuka for help: Tezuka, I'm scared, wuwuwu.

Tezuka Kunimitsu sat down quietly beside him, and this action immediately made Nanjiro feel much more at ease.

Tezuka, if anything happens, you have to protect me.

"Mr. Nanjiro."

Echizen Nanjiro was surprised: "Huh?"

Tezuka Kuniichi said seriously, "How long have you been the coach of the Qingxue Tennis Club?"

"Not long." Echizen Nanjiro said vaguely.

"Coach?" Kunimitsu Tezuka looked at him.

Oops! I forgot to inform Tezuka about this.

No way, no way, is the lie going to be exposed so soon?

He winked at Tezuka Kunimitsu from an angle where Tezuka Kuniichi couldn't see: Tezuka, please treat me as your coach now!

There was a clear expression of disapproval in Tezuka's eyes.

Echizen Nanjiro thought to himself, 'It's over', but he heard him say, "Coach Ryusaki was injured in an accident and needs to rest. So she strongly recommended that Mr. Nanjiro temporarily replace her as the coach of the tennis club."

Wuwuwu, thank you, Tezuka, for helping me make it happen.

It's so kind of you.

"Kunimitsu seems to have a good relationship with Mr. Nanjiro." Tezuka Kuniichi continued.

When Echizen Nanjiro heard this, his whole body tensed up again, for fear that if he relaxed, he would say everything he should and shouldn't say.

That would be bad.

"Kunimitsu is not the type of person who is liked by others, so he doesn't have many friends around him. It's rare that he can get along well with you, Mr. Nanjiro."

At this time, Echizen Nanjiro had to summon up the brain cells that were pampered and kept fat by him on a daily basis. As the saying goes, "Raise your soldiers for a thousand days and deploy them for a moment", now is the time for them to dedicate themselves to him.

What did Grandfather Tezuka mean by that?

On the surface, he's talking about Tezuka, but is he actually saying that it's strange and questionable that "Tezuka has a good relationship with him"?

The intention is too "sinister".

Fortunately, with his few remaining brain cells, he saw through this "language trap".

Thank you, my lovely brain cells, it’s not in vain that I raised you.

What should he do at this time?

Pretend not to understand.

Yes, just take his words at face value.

Anyway, I'm stupid and not smart. If you don't point it out clearly, I won't respond and I won't be able to think of anything.

Since Tezuka's grandfather said that Tezuka was not good, he should do the opposite and say that Tezuka was good.

You should hold the Tezuka high.

He feigned disapproval and retorted, "That's not the case."

Oops, the voice seemed a bit too loud. Echizen Nanjiro felt a little regretful.

Tezuka Kuniichi and Tezuka Kunimitsu, as well as Tezuka Ayana and Tezuka Kuniharu who had prepared tea (Echizen Nanjiro didn't notice them at this time) - all the eyes of the Tezuka family fell on him.

At this point, the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Echizen Nanjiro simply made up his mind and looked at Tezuka Kuniichi seriously: "Tezuka is really very good, very good."

"Although he always has a cold face and is called an 'iceberg'; he doesn't easily reveal his emotions, making it hard for people to guess; he refuses to compromise when encountering problems and is very strict with others; the fact that he is more reliable than adults at such a young age is even more infuriating; in some aspects, he is unexpectedly rigid and refuses to be flexible no matter what..."

He was getting angrier and angrier as he spoke, and all he could think about was "Tezuka really isn't a good person at all."

Just when he wanted to continue gushing out his thoughts, he saw Tezuka Kuniichi's stunned face.

Tezuka Kuniichi has not yet recovered from his shock.

What are you talking about!

Shouldn't the next step be to refute my opinion?

Isn’t it time to state how “good” and “excellent” Guoguang is?

Why is reality different from what I imagined?

Echizen Nanjiro suddenly woke up!

Wake up, Nanjiro, this is not the "Tucao Conference"!

Moreover, the other parents said that their child’s shortcoming is modesty, why are you following behind and making a fuss?

Hiss, it’s so cold, how come this cold air appears out of nowhere?

The cooling source is...
