"sorry."

"what?"

Echizen Nanjiro blinked in surprise, not understanding why Tezuka was apologizing.

"I shouldn't have ignored you, I'm sorry, Mr. Nanjiro."

Even Tezuka had to apologize to him for such a small matter. Tezuka is indeed a very serious person.

Tezuka has apologized to him, so wouldn't it be too unfair to Tezuka if I, who also deliberately avoided Tezuka, had to confess to him?

"Tezuka doesn't need to apologize. It was actually me! I, I don't know why, and I can't explain clearly what I was thinking. I just wanted to hide from you, Tezuka. I'm sorry."

Hearing him say this, Tezuka Kunimitsu remembered the last time he was stopped by him and he was trembling against the door.

Did I really scare him?

I don't want to see him lost, and I don't want to be the reason for his loss.

Kunimitsu Tezuka felt that he had not done enough.

When facing Mr. Nanjiro, he needs to be more serious, more restrained and more peaceful.

He promised: "It's my fault, I won't do it again."

Echizen Nanjiro was becoming more and more confused. What had Tezuka done wrong? And what did he mean by "never again"?

Ah, it’s so hard to think about. Am I really too stupid?

He turned his head away guiltily: "I know, so Tezuka, don't apologize anymore."

In fact, Nanjiro Echizen knew nothing, but he thought he couldn't keep arguing with Tezuka about who was right and who was wrong.

Never mind, whatever Tezuka says is fine.

Although the development of the plot deviated seriously from Fuji Shusuke's script, he still watched it with great interest.

He hadn't originally intended to force Echizen Nanjiro to follow his plan step by step and honestly. After all, he was Mr. Nanjiro, and it was impossible for there to be no accidents.

However, the person who surprised Fuji Shusuke the most was Kunimitsu Tezuka.

This person would actually take the initiative to care for and comfort someone.

His face would also show a focused and gentle expression, different from his usual stern and cold expression.

It seems that Tezuka really likes Mr. Nanjiro.

I like him so much that I give him the utmost tenderness in my heart.

I like him so much that just by looking at him, a faint smile of joy will appear in my eyes.

Fuji Shusuke was actually looking forward to it.

What would it be like if these two people were really together in the future?

The onlookers really hated that there were no melon seeds at this time, otherwise it would be too fragrant to eat them while cracking them.

Shiba Saori held the camera in her hand, and the lens never left the two people. She pressed the shutter from time to time, and kept muttering: "Not bad, great, get closer, yes, just like that, don't move..."

People who don’t know her would think she is a professional photographer.

Inoue Mamoru tried to remind her again and again but to no avail, so he just let her go.

Inui Sadaharu quickly took notes, his expression very satisfied: "I got new data about Tezuka."

He thought it necessary to add more detailed information about Mr. Nanjiro.

Previously, he only thought that understanding Mr. Nanjiro would be helpful in analyzing Echizen, but he didn't expect that it would also be of great use in further studying Tezuka.

It seems that I have to organize the information immediately after the game.

"Oishi, Oishi, did you see that? Tezuka actually apologized to Mr. Minamijiro. Wow, that's amazing." Kikumaru Eiji excitedly patted Oishi Shuichiro's arm. "This is a rare sight that only happens once in a century."

Oishi Shuichiro thought, if you had seen them hugging each other, you wouldn't say that.

Echizen Nanjiro held up a bunch of flowers in his hand: "Tezuka, this..."

Before he handed it over, his wrist was grabbed by someone coming towards him.

"What are you doing!"

It’s that familiar voice again!

Echizen Nanjiro turned his head in confusion.

It’s okay if you don’t look at it, but once you look at it, your brain will freeze again.

Why did he come here?

"Atobe, and Karachi, you guys..."

Atobe Keigo pulled him to his side and questioned with a very unhappy expression: "I still want to ask you, when you arrived at the scene, you didn't come to find me, and you mixed with the people from Seigaku, what do you want to do?"

"I..." Echizen Nanjiro was speechless for a moment when he asked this question.

Atobe Keigo looked at his unconcealed panic and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.

His expression turned stern, and he asked coldly, "Didn't you forget about the meeting you agreed to meet with me?"

In an instant, Echizen Nanjiro felt that the air around him was stagnant and he felt like he had fallen into an ice hole.

If you tell the truth, you will die.

Out of a strong desire to survive, he quickly shook his head: "No, really not."

Lie. Definitely forgot.

With Keigo Atobe's keen eyesight, no one in life can deceive him.

What's more, the person in front of me would never lie.

Forget it, I should be magnanimous and forgive him. After all, it’s not good to scare people too much.

Seeing that he still had his hair tied in a high ponytail, Atobe Keigo couldn't help but frown and asked, "Why didn't you use that golden ribbon?"

"It's too conspicuous." Longma also told him that the belt was not suitable for him.

"Hmm?" Atobe Keigo's powerful aura pressed down directly.

Echizen Nanjiro quickly added, "Next time, definitely next time."

"Well, that's more like that." Atobe Keigo liked the way he was obedient.

Well, now that we have found the person, let’s take him away.

"No, Atobe, I..." Echizen Nanjiro broke free from his hand and took a few steps back, "I still have things to do. Besides, we just agreed to meet. Now Atobe, you have also met me, so this is all right."

"What if I say no?" Atobe Keigo stared at him closely. "I don't know what you think, but this date with you is not just about meeting. If you understand, come here quickly. I hope you haven't completely forgotten the agreement."

"Atobe..." There was no reason to refuse Atobe at all.

He looked down at the flowers, then couldn't help but look at Tezuka's calm face, and his complicated emotions finally turned into a long sigh.

The plan failed.

I'm sorry, Tezuka, for not giving you the flowers properly.

I'm sorry, Fuji, for not achieving my goal of getting closer to Tezuka and for failing to live up to your expectations.

He thought that he should give the flowers to Tezuka before leaving with Atobe.

Even if Tezuka won't be very happy after receiving it, at least he can understand his feelings a little bit.

"Tezuka..."

However, before he could finish his words, something unexpected happened again.

Tezuka Kunimitsu stepped forward and blocked him behind him, and said to Atobe Keigo directly: "He can't go with you."

"Tezuka Kunimitsu."

Atobe Keigo's expression turned stern, which was his reaction when facing a strong enemy.

Tezuka Kunimitsu's attitude was equally tough and he refused to give in even a little.

The two of them were at loggerheads, and for a moment no one spoke. There was only the sound of the wind, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

The big cat Kikumaru was so scared that he approached Oishi Shuichiro: "Hey, hey, hey, this is not good, Oishi, what should we do?"

Hideichiro Oishi couldn't think of any good solution for the time being, and he couldn't control the confrontation between the two even if he wanted to.

"Nanjiro, come here."

Atobe Keigo simply ignored Tezuka Kunimitsu and focused his attention on Echizen Nanjiro behind him.

Tezuka Kunimitsu did not move at all, his resolute attitude was obvious: "Atobe, I've already said it."

Atobe Keigo then turned his gaze to him: "Tezuka Kunimitsu, are you making the decision for him?"

"Atobe, Mr. Nanjiro doesn't want to leave with you."

Atobe Keigo sneered: "He never said such a thing, it's just your self-righteous guess."

"He is from Qingxue."

"Oh? That's quite interesting." There was some interest in his sea-blue eyes, but he changed the subject, "But Tezuka Kunimitsu, even if he is from Seigaku, it doesn't mean he is yours, right?"

Tezuka Kunimitsu fell silent.

Kikumaru Eiji shouted in their direction: "Buyer, please don't lose face for our Seigaku. Don't give in!"

Oishi Shuichiro quickly covered his mouth: "Eiji, what are you talking about?"

"But, Oishi, Mr. Nanjiro is obviously from our Seigaku. If he is taken away by Hyotei's people, wouldn't it be embarrassing for our Seigaku?" Kikumaru Eiji took away Oishi Shuichiro's hand and said confidently.

Then he continued to shout enthusiastically: "Come on, Buchu! Come on, Tezuka!"

"Ugh."

Hideichiro Oishi said that he was very tired and needed to empty his mind and have a good rest.

Fuji Shusuke seemed quite happy to see this.

It's true that it's never boring when Mr. Nanjiro is around.

"Coach Ryuzaki, aren't you going to stop them?" Inui Sadaharu looked at the scene in front of him thoughtfully.

Long Qi Jin held his forehead and sighed, "It's a private matter, I can't control it."

First it was Sengoku Kiyosumi from Yamabuki Junior High School, and then it was Atobe Keigo from Hyotei Academy. Nanjiro's ability to provoke people was too great. She didn't know what would happen in the next second.

How come no one around him knows him when he plays tennis, but he becomes noticeable when he doesn't play tennis?

"Tsk, you are really stubborn." Atobe Keigo's patience has been worn out. "Now that things have come to this, I will not hide it from you, Tezuka Kunimitsu. To tell you the truth, I want him because there is a special relationship between him and me that ordinary people cannot understand."

Tezuka Kunimitsu frowned when he heard this. What Atobe Keigo said was too unbelievable for him.

He was about to say something when he was interrupted by Atobe Keigo's next action.

I saw Keigo Atobe take something out of his coat pocket and hold it in his palm.

As if he was sure of victory, a frivolous smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

Atobe Keigo's appearance already possesses almost all the advantages in the world, and such a wild smile is even more eye-catching, showing his elegance.

Echizen Nanjiro couldn't help but forget his situation and was attracted by the boy's beauty.

However, when he noticed what Keigo Atobe was holding in his hand, he could no longer continue to appreciate it calmly.

That's... that's his...

The cold expression on Tezuka Kunimitsu's face froze, and his pupils dilated with shock.

how come?

In Keigo Atobe's hand was an ordinary-looking dark brown headband.

"Atobe Keigo, what are you doing with this?"

Echizen Nanjiro was so anxious that he came out from behind Tezuka Kunimitsu.

He didn't know what Atobe was trying to do, but he had a bad feeling.

"I don't want to do anything, I just took it out to take a look." Atobe Keigo chuckled.

Liar! Atobe must be up to something bad!

"Mr. Nanjiro."

"Tezuka..."

Hearing Tezuka calling him, Echizen Nanjiro quickly turned around and looked over.

But what he saw was a face that was calm and peaceful like water.

He couldn't help but shiver, because he knew that Tezuka was angry, and very angry.

Normally, if I did something that made Tezuka unhappy, Tezuka would frown, his voice would become serious, and he would insist on his opinion in front of me until I was willing to listen.

He might have a cold face but he would never be expressionless towards himself.

Echizen Nanjiro was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe.

Tezuka Kunimitsu asked him, "Mr. Nanjiro, is this yours?"
