Tennis: One look can subdue me, one sword can break the clothes of heaven!

After parting ways with the members of the tennis club at Rikkai University, Oreki set out on his journey home in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Even though this is a road I've walked countless times, I still feel extremely happy walking on it.

Maybe when people are happy, they find everything they do interesting.

This is his first worthy championship!

He is not like Yukimura, who could travel around the world to compete in competitions when he was in elementary school. This championship carries a heavy weight for him.

Of course, there is more to it than that.

Oreki Yu reached into his pocket and touched the stack of prize money awarded to him for winning the championship.

The champion of the Kanto Tournament will receive a prize of 2 yen per person.

Although the amount is not large, it is already a considerable sum of money considering his current situation.

How should I spend such a large sum of money?

Oreki thought about it carefully and realized that the money he earned from his part-time job was enough for his daily expenses. This money could be used for other things, such as buying something for Akari.

In this case, the money cannot be given to her directly. According to her thinking, she will definitely spend the money on herself again, which would make the money meaningless.

She has suffered a lot over the years and has never been willing to spend money on herself. Although she is a beauty and is only 31 years old this year, she is often covered in dust and wears an old coat over and over again. She likes to handle things on her own.

He thought he could buy more clothes or delicious food for his mother.

Thinking of this, he walked towards the nearby shopping mall with great interest.

After a nerve-wracking shopping trip, he returned home contentedly, carrying his bags.

"I wonder what my mother's expression would be when she sees these things, hehe~"

I returned to the rental house, took out the key and opened the door.

When Oreki Yu was changing his shoes, his eyes suddenly caught sight of his mother's boots, and next to the boots, there was a pair of men's black leather shoes.

Did your mother get off work early?

But why are there other men’s shoes? Are they guests?

"Mom, I'm back!"

He called into the house.

Soon, Akira's voice was heard from inside.

"Welcome back, Xiaoyou!"

Then, Ming Lixiang came out from the inner room with a helpless look on her face, but it quickly turned into a smile.

"Is the competition over? How was it, did you win the championship?"

Upon hearing this, Oreki Yu raised his head proudly and said:

"Of course, your son made a move and defeated his opponent in one go!"

"That's awesome!"

"correct......"

Oreki Yu was just about to show off the things he bought for her.

At this moment, a somewhat hoarse male voice suddenly came from the room.

"Is he Xiaoyou?"

Hearing the voice, Oreki Yu looked in surprise, and saw a tall and fat man who looked to be in his forties walking out of the inner room with a smile on his face, but that somewhat artificial smile made him look particularly greasy.

"Yeah, he's my child."

As Akirika spoke, she put her arm around Oreki’s shoulders and protected him in her arms.

"who are you?"

Oreki Yu frowned slightly. This was the first time he met this person, but for some reason, he instinctively disliked him.

"As expected, it's your and my child, it's really cute~"

The middle-aged man smiled kindly, walked over and reached out to touch Oreki's head.

Oreki Yu instinctively dodged to the side and said coldly:

"I'm sorry, I don't know you. Aren't you being a little too rude?"

The smile on the middle-aged man's face froze and he looked at Ming Lixiang.

"Hehe... this kid doesn't seem to be very sensible. By the way, Akirika, please think about that matter carefully. For your sake as well as his, I will go back today."

Akirika didn't say anything, but Oreki Yu felt his mother's hand on his shoulder tighten slightly.

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he quickly put on his shoes and left.

"Mom, are you okay?"

"Ah...I'm fine, just a little distracted."

Ming Lixiang finally reacted and a forced smile appeared on her face. After letting go of Oreki Yu, she walked to the chair in the inner room and sat down, seeming to be thinking about something.

This obvious look of worry could not be hidden from Oreki Yu.

And that person just now said something like 'our children'.

After a few interactions, Oreki Yu naturally understood that it was probably related to that stranger.

He put aside the bags and walked over to sit down facing Ming Lixiang.

"Mom, who is that man? Could it be....he is my father?"

Hearing this, Ming Lixiang's body was obviously stiff, but she still spoke:

"Yes... His name is Kimura Mamoru, and he is your biological father."

"What's going on? Didn't my father die of stomach cancer?"

Ming Lixiang seemed to find it difficult to speak, but she finally sighed and said:

"I'm sorry, Xiaoyou, this is a lie... In fact, he is not dead, but he has not come back to find us, so mom told you that he is dead..."

She spoke hesitantly, and it was obviously not true.

Oreki Yuu frowned slightly.

It seems that there is something hidden behind this.

Since his bastard father was not dead, why didn't he come back to find them?

His mother has been raising him all these years alone. She has been working to pay off debts while taking care of the child. She doesn't even have any financial support. Isn't it the same as if she didn't exist?

"Then why didn't he come back to us?"

"Well... you are still young, some things should wait until later..."

"Mom! Stop lying and just tell me the truth. I won't get hurt!"

Oreki Yuu said seriously.

Hearing this, Akari was obviously a little shocked. She smiled bitterly and said, Oreki Yu has grown up. She knew that she could not hide this matter any longer today. After hesitating for a while, she told him everything that happened in the past.

At this point, Oreki Yu finally understood the truth.

My mother met that man when she was in high school. At that time, he was a teacher in the school. Perhaps because she was born in a family that lacked care, she was suddenly treated tenderly, which made my mother feel that this was love, and she fell hopelessly in love with her teacher.

She even did a lot of things for him in order to be with him. For example, if the man worked hard, she would make an extra lunch box for him. If the man was in a bad mood, she would skip classes to accompany him. If the man wanted to quit his job and start a business, she would help him borrow money from elders without telling her grandparents.

Later, when his mother was pregnant, she chose to drop out of school, thinking that she would marry my father after giving birth to him.

But at this time, due to an unexpected visit, I learned that my father actually had a family.

Betrayal and deception made her unable to forgive the man. After that day, she left the small town with her unborn baby and came to this remote place, becoming a single mother.

When he was a child, he asked his mother where his father was, and Akari, perhaps out of resentment, told him that his father had passed away.

At least this way, the child can imagine what kind of person his father is, but he can't be with him because he has passed away.

And now, the man has come back to her.

He also told her that he had divorced his ex-wife and expressed his willingness to live with Akari and raise Oreki Yu together.

After hearing everything, Oreki Yu was filled with rage.

Isn't this a complete scumbag? With this, can we still expect him to come back?

What kind of international joke is this?

"Mom, I don't want to live with that person. Can't we just live together?"
