[Tennis] Mountains and Flowing Water

The two returned to the living room after seeing off their partners. Yukimura wanted to talk about the previous incident, but was stopped.Xu You pointed to the kitchen and lowered his voice: "Go back to the room and talk."

It was the first time for Yukimura to visit Xu You's bedroom, and it was as well organized as he had imagined. Bookcases, wardrobes, desks and small tables were all neat and orderly.

"Yu-kun raises turtles?" Yukimura went to the side of the small table and knelt and tapped on the turtle box. The black-shelled turtle inside seemed to be frightened, with its head and limbs shrunk back into its shell. "Tortoise shells of this color are rare."

"Yeah." Xu You sat cross-legged across from him, and carefully moved the turtle box aside, "Kun Yukimura doesn't seem very happy, what do you want to say?"

"Ah, about Sakuranai-san..."

"Sakurai? Who is it?" Xu You frowned, "It seems to be a girl, you mentioned it to me, what happened to her?"

"It's like this. I asked my friends. Sakurauchi's family is a bit powerful. They were investigating us before, so the attack on Yukun may be... Sakuranai-san instructed someone to do it...I really don't think there is anyone else. There will be motivation for You-kun."

"Is that so..." Oh, so the girl the young man said was Sakurauchi.

"But it's okay, the Sakurauchi family seems to have gone bankrupt."

"Ah."

After Yukimura explained the reason, he bowed his head and remained silent.

"Kun Yukimura?" Xu You leaned over, "Are you still unhappy?"

"I'm really sorry."

"...why do you say so..."

"Because Sakuranai-san is obviously interested in me, I wonder if Yu-kun is too close to me to attract her attention, but I really don't know what she will do... such an unfavorable move. ..”

"...Ha——" Xu You sighed, "So Yukimura-kun feels that he is also responsible?"

"Isn't that the case? If I... change my attitude, won't she be so resolutely radical..."

"Yukimura-kun, do you think Sakuranai-san really likes you? Love at first sight?"

"...Huh?" Yukimura was puzzled, and continued to tell, "I didn't mean that, I don't know if she likes me, but she has malice towards the people around me, just like this time... ..." If the consortium behind her hadn't collapsed, would she be even more unscrupulous?Will Sanada and the others get hurt too?Will members be implicated?

"From the beginning to the end, Yukimura-kun's attitude towards Sakuranai-san is very clear, which is beyond doubt. Some things are different from the appearance, so Yukimura-kun should not always attribute it to himself, maybe the reason has nothing to do with Yukimura-kun?"

"...Okay." Yukimura fell down on the table a little dejectedly, "The rumors were too fierce a few days ago."

"Because Yukimura-kun is very popular, the head player of Tachikai's tennis club-san."

"Hopefully no more girls are interested in me...the season starts soon."

"Pfft—it's okay, Yukimura-kun." Xu You gently brushed away a few strands of hair in front of Yukimura, "Everyone will help you."

Yukimura left after dinner, and Xu You pushed the Shenmu to send Yukimura home.Shenmu is not in any mood. Xingcun and Xu You have birthdays one after the other, and they are both 13 years old now. It is really not safe at night, especially what happened to Xu You...

After three days of recuperation, Xu You returned to the club to continue his daily practice.The Kanagawa U17 singles tournament is about to start.There are 128 singles players for men and women in Kanagawa, and the competition is fierce.

Japanese U17 singles competitions are roughly divided into three levels. The highest level is the national level 1 event; the middle level is the Kanto, Kinki and other regional level 2 events; the low level is the 3-5 level events from prefectures to cities, towns and villages.Among them, Kanagawa Prefecture officially holds a level 4 event.The national points ranking is obtained from the competitions in these levels.Only when you reach a certain point can you participate in the qualifiers for higher-level events, and you will continue to win and improve your ranking.

The STC club is a well-known one in Kanagawa. It has many national-level players as members and has connections with American tennis academies, such as the one where Xu You studied for a short-term study in Florida a few months ago.

It's just that the sports in Kanagawa Prefecture are also very famous in the whole country.

"Xiaoyou is here, is your body okay?" Coach Masada came over with a clipboard, "Don't force yourself."

"Well, we can resume normal training now." Xu You put on the headband, "I'm going to warm up."

Natsu has already started a practice match with Kasaka, and several indoor venues are full of battles.

Coach Morimoto led the brown-haired young man with a cockscomb: "Masada-san, is Shenmu-kun practicing forehand and backhand today? Let Maruo-kun watch."

Maruo was patted on the shoulder, holding a notebook and saluting shyly: "Please... Please give me more advice!"

"Ah, it's okay." After Zhengtian helped Xu You warm up, he brought a basket of tennis balls and stood on the bottom line holding the racket. Xu You went to wait in the middle of the bottom line on the other side.

Maruo opened the notebook and held the pen to wait.He heard from Najin that Xu You is only 13 years old this year, but his strength has already reached field A, that is to say, he is as strong as Najin and Jiang Chuan seniors.

Zheng Tian slapped the ball on the ground, and when the ball bounced to a certain height, he swung his hands to the bottom line.Before the ball crossed the net, Xu You had already reacted, shifting to the bottom line with his right hand and hitting flat.The straight ball crossed the net and accurately attacked the corner.

[This... so beautiful! ] There are no extra redundant movements at all, and the shooting is not too lengthy, and it looks very comfortable.Maruo suppressed his throbbing heartbeat, carefully observed the decomposition movements, and then drew them step by step in his notebook.

[Backhand too! ] The speed of the incoming ball is not slow, and it increases the relatively fast topspin. Xu You stepped forward and hit the ground with one foot immediately before swinging the racket to touch the ball. .Another double reverse straight hit.

[It's so beautiful...how did you type it...]

When Xu You was obsessed with watching the ball from the baseline and running, there was also a person on the sidelines who was deeply involved in his handling of the ball and the lines drawn by the tennis ball, and his heart was shaken by it.

"How about it, isn't it pretty?" A lively female voice pulled Maruo out: "Takazaki-san!"

Takazaki clasps his waist with his right hand: "Are you startled?"

"Ah...it's not that I'm scared..." Maruo finished the remaining few notes, and looked back at his achievements in the past few minutes, "It's so strong...and...perfect, such a feeling."

"Because Xiaoyou was thinking while beating."

"Thinking while fighting?"

"I don't quite understand it." Takazaki tapped his left index finger under his lips, "It's probably because when you see the ball from the opposite side, you can imagine how to do the next few steps... and so on... just keep going to the first round One-round incoming ball handling."
