[Tennis] Mountains and Flowing Water

Yukimura's family was in trouble this winter, and the eldest son had to ask a few questions if he was a little bit abnormal.In the cold weather of October, Yukimura caught a cold, Ming Hao dragged him to a general hospital without saying a word.

This investigation directly led to Yukimura's diagnosis and hospitalization.The radiculitis induced by the virus has already shown initial symptoms. It is not a terminal illness, but it is quite difficult to deal with.

"Now start symptomatic treatment, the course of treatment is at least eight months, and rehabilitation is three to four months, because it is still in the early stage of symptoms, and the condition is still under control. However, patients need to be psychologically prepared."

"I understand..." An Ji rubbed the white handkerchief with both hands, and quietly wiped away tears.Ming Hao was silent at the side, and Yukimura was also listening.

Qimao City, Kyushu is facing a torrential rain brought by the warm ocean current. The needle-shaped or oval-shaped leaves are hit hard by the raindrops from the sky, and there is also a whistling moist cold wind to add fuel and vinegar.Outside the window of the dormitory on the second floor, the thin green leaves fluttered in the wind and rain, and the broad-leaved trees were like an old man shaking his body stiff from cold, rustling its "clothes".

One piece, two pieces, three pieces...thirteen, fourteen...

Ah, isn't it time for a kind painter to appear?

Somewhere draw green leaves that never fall.

The visiting team from Kyushu postponed their return to school due to the heavy rain, and Xu You immediately learned of the news of Yukimura's hospitalization when he returned from the school trip.When he lost his composure and ran all the way from the tram station to the hospital where Yukimura was, holding his breath and looking into the door opened by the nurse, Yukimura was leaning on the bedside reading a book, and even smiled and greeted Xu You.

"Yo~" Lihai's main candidates just left on their heels.

Xu You has always been clear about Xingmura's appearance, he vaguely felt that the boy covered by the white bed was suppressing his emotions.In this case, he did not intend to follow the patient.

"I was hospitalized four days ago, why didn't you tell me?" Xu You, who was sitting by the bed, glanced at the red spots and blue veins on the back of Yukimura's hands.

"You Jun's school trip, don't you want to have a good time?" Still with the crooked expression, his hands retracted calmly under the quilt.

"This trip to Kyushu, I haven't been worried about you for a day, Yukimura-kun."

Yukimura's smile faded because of the worried words of the boy in casual clothes, and he lowered his head silently: "Sorry, I made You-kun worry."

At this time, Xu You even felt disgusted with Yukimura's "polite".He realized that the way he had spoken was not quite right.However, comforting sentence patterns such as "you will be fine" and "I am waiting for you on the job network" can only make the conversation between the two superficial.

The weather in Tokyo is fine, but the wind is a bit strong, and the sound of invisible fluid splashing on the window is very clear, as if an "ice traveler" knocked on the window and shouted: Hey, open the door, let me come in and take a walk.

"Has everyone come to see you?"

"Yeah." Yukimura thought of Kirihara's recklessness, as well as Nioh and Marui's little magic tricks and short jokes, and felt comforted, "I made everyone worry."

"Are you scared?"

The body wrapped in the hospital gown tensed for a moment, then relaxed: "It's not a serious illness."

Xu You groped for Yukimura's hand hidden in the quilt, and Yukimura was already weak, so he couldn't beat Xu You at this time.

"Don't lie to me, Yukimura-kun."

"...Then what do you want me to say?" Yukimura pursed his lips, he didn't want to show weakness to anyone.Besides, when it comes to illness, others can do nothing but worry and bless.So this is what he should do as a patient: I'm fine, don't worry.

"It's not that I want Yukimura-kun to say anything." Xu You clenched his callused hands, "No matter where Yukimura-kun is injured, I will be there. I mean, I have great confidence in you."

"I...I don't want to." Yukimura choked up, "I have...a problem...nowhere...so uncomfortable." Not only the physical sadness, but also the psychological one panic.

"Youjun...I'm afraid..." He clearly agreed to climb up the job network together, but it seemed... that he would be smashed back to the bottom of the mountain and never get up again.

"I can't even hold my chopsticks steadily, and I feel sore and trembling after walking for a while. The situation is getting worse. I don't know how serious it can be."

"I don't know what will happen to me, Youjun. You have so much confidence in me, but I don't seem to have any confidence anymore." Can you still stand up?What else can be done?

"I know what I should stick to. We agreed to work together. I'm just...just..."

Xu You was speechless for a long time, he somewhat understood.Because when he was 14 years old, he was really drugged and felt weak and uncomfortable.To feel other people's worries about him, and to listen to the doctor's judgment on his "condition".Then fell into despair when he was sentenced to "death".

[It's only temporary, Xiaoyou, it will be fine in a while. ]

Who knows if this temporary will become eternal?Who can guarantee it!

This is the unique worry about things that are cherished.

"Yukimura-kun, do you still remember the story of "High Mountain and Flowing Water"? "

"Yeah!" Xingmura covered Xu You's clenched right hand with his other hand, "Bo Ya and Zhong Ziqi."

"Actually, there is a follow-up to this story."

"Ok?"

Feeling the warmth of the palms and backs of his hands, Xu You said softly: "It is said that later, Zhong Ziqi died of illness. Boya was so sad that he went to worship and play the piano to mourn. The villagers gathered around and heard the sound of the piano, so They all applauded and laughed.

Boya asked Zhong Ziqi's father, "What I play is clearly mourning and mourning. Why are the villagers so happy instead of mourning at all?"

Zhong Ziqi's father said: People in the countryside don't know the rhythm, and they think they are playing music for fun when they hear the sound, and because the sound is so beautiful, they clap their hands and laugh all the time. "

"Bo Ya was very sad, thinking that Zhong Ziqi died of illness, and there would be no one in the world who understood his emotions in music. So he broke the strings of the qin, broke the qin, and never played the qin again for the rest of his life."

Yukimura frowned, pondered for a while and said softly: "It shouldn't be like this...Maybe I will meet another bosom friend later."

"Is it?"

"...Even if you don't meet a bosom friend, you shouldn't be like this." Yukimura buried his head and murmured, "Bo Ya's piano sound is beautiful and moving, shouldn't it be shown to the world? It would be a pity if he never played the piano again .Because the world can no longer hear such beautiful music. I think many people will sigh for this, right?"

Xu You smiled softly and silently: "Probably, it's because of loneliness."

"You-kun?"

"People in the world can hear the beautiful music, of course they are satisfied. But Boya has always been alone...playing the piano alone, comprehending the melody of nature alone."

"Because Boya will be lonely."

"So, it would be great if Zhong Ziqi could listen by his side all the time."

"..."

This year's winter is extremely bleak, perhaps because Kanagawa has just passed a period of cold snap.In the morning, the waves crashed and the tide rose and capsized, but Mr. Kang seemed more energetic.

The Kanto preliminaries of the all-day youth indoor qualifiers will be held in November. Xu You's national ranking is not enough, which is equivalent to giving him opportunities other than the U11 ranking.

Takazaki arrived at the club early in the morning on Sunday and took a deep breath: "Well~ today is also a good weather!" Rong'er is also working hard, she needs to work harder.

But when she was warming up, she still didn't see Xu You.

"Have you not seen Xiaoyou for three days?"

Coach Masada came over with the scoreboard: "Shenmu-kun also has practice matches in the tennis club, and he is training at school these days."

"What about the qualifiers in three days' time?"

"Mr. Shenmu changed his mind temporarily and didn't sign up." Zheng Tian shrugged, "Well, after all, I'm only 14 years old during Chinese New Year, so I'm not in a hurry." And it can be seen that Shenmu has been very irritable recently, which can be detected from his batting.It's good to adjust.

"That's right, Xiaoyou is only in the second grade of junior high school now."

"That guy is just lazy." Jiang Chuan carried the racket, "He already has the strength of the whole country."

"Not everyone is like you, Jiang Chuan."

"cut."

The club activities in the second semester were not strict, and the tennis club training ended normally after six o'clock.The minister's illness made the entire tennis club emotionally unstable, so in Xu You's view, the training efficiency was mediocre.In addition to serving as a sparring partner, he also needs to pay special attention to Kirihara.This is the concern Yukimura mentioned to him: the next one.

After Xu You was assigned to work related to the main election, the Big Three took care of Kirihara even more.Yanagi watched Kirihara's basic training and physical condition, Sanada supervised the beating, and Yukimura was in charge of mental improvement.

Now Xu You undertakes the spiritual training of Kirihara.

Kirihara doesn't have any awareness of mental power, this one is also an instinctive player.But although he is usually innocent enough, he is not stupid at all in tennis, and his perception is extremely keen.Xu You wondered if the elementary school boy put all his daily EQ aptitude into tennis, which led to his rough nerves in human relationships.

"Sixgamestolove. Chiya, you made a lot of mistakes today."

Kirihara curled his lips, and sat down on the hard floor: "That's because it's too uncomfortable to fight with Senior Shenmu."

Xu You walked over and pulled Kirihara up, patted his shoulder and left the field: "Isn't it more uncomfortable when you competed with Yukimura-kun?"

"This... oops, it's different."

"Why is it different?" Field C is now a match between Yagyu and Marui, Xu You and Kirihara are sitting on the bench.

"I don't know either." Kirihara scratched his head in recollection, "I always feel that Minister Yukimura should be like this, but Senior Shenmu didn't have this style before."

"Oh? What kind of style does Chi also think I should play?"

Kirihara said that these questions are too profound, and they are more difficult to answer than English questions: "Um... the same as glutinous rice?" Each ball is quite full and sticky.

"Hehe." Xu You touched Kirihara's black hair lightly, "Akaya hasn't reached that point yet, remember to think about it when you compete with me and Yukimura-kun." Kirihara's foundation is quite solid, and his concentration is also very high , but there is indeed no mature awareness of self-regulation in terms of emotions and strategies.

"Brain? Thinking about what?"

"I wonder why the points were lost. Where did the points get lost? At least Chiya needs to minimize his mistakes. You can't find any problems, so how can you solve them?"

Qieyuan puffed up his cheeks, reluctantly: "Does it have to be like this?"

"It's not that you have to behave like this, I just gave you a reasonable way to explore."

"......All right."

"In addition, your forehand and high-pressure talents are very high. You need to practice more to develop your own style, so that you can have an advantage in the game."

"But Minister Yukimura asked me to practice serving first."

"Hmm..." Xu You thought about it for a while, "Your serve is indeed not stable, and you must make up for this shortcoming. Then go now, serve 8 times in one set, and practice 10 sets first. "

Kirihara turned his head to look at Liu and Sanada who were playing on the court. The match between Sanada and Nioh had just ended. Xu You stood up and nodded to Sanada, and gave his junior a slight push.

Kirihara looked up at the beams of the indoor court again, today he is still training. [Sooner or later, definitely defeat these monsters! ]
