[Tennis] Mountains and Flowing Water

The incident of entering and wounding people in the orphanage was not reported, so few people know about it.It was only when Shenmu and Xu You visited again that they officially learned about the dean's injury.

"It's just that the back of the head was knocked out and I was knocked out. It should be for money." The current dean's name is Atsumi, and Uehara has resigned. It is said that he ran back to the countryside after dealing with the injury. Now he is staying in a shrine. with.

"Don't report the case?" Shenmu frowned and asked, "This time it was the dean who was injured, so what should I do next time when a child is attacked with a knife?"

"This..." Atsumi hesitated to speak.

"Ok?"

"That's right, everyone says this is revenge from ghosts."

"Hmm..." Shenmu recalled that there was indeed such a rumor a few days ago.

"Father, I'm going outside for a walk."

"Ah good." Shenmu smiled and waved to Xu You, then turned his head and continued to ask with a straight face, "And then?"

"Criminal Shenmu, you also understand that we had no peace in those few days, but after Uehara-san was attacked, the specter of the ghost gradually decreased, and the sound became far away."

"Is there such a thing?"

"And Uehara-san himself said that it was a ghost who killed him..."

Xu You ran to the lawn, trotted around twice with open arms, squatted down and pawed in the grass by the wall for two seconds, stood up, put his right hand in his pocket and walked for a walk.

"The gates are all good, and... when we found out, we still slammed into them."

"You said the door was locked?"

"Yes."

"Chamber? Is there anyone else in the room?"

"That's not true." Atsumi immediately shook her head in denial.

"..." Seeing this, Shenmu stopped talking.After all, there is nothing he can do without filing a case.

Kanagawa is slowly entering the summer, and Yukimura and Xu You communicate more closely. He signed up for the tennis competition of the U12 youth group and wants to be fully prepared for it.He didn't want to get anything other than a trophy at all.

[Won't Yujun participate? 】

[I don't have this idea yet. 】

[Unfortunately, I still want to have a formal duel with You-kun. 】

[There will be many opportunities in the future. 】Xu You and Yukimura have been together for a long time, and they also learned how to tease. 【I will not fly away with wings. 】

[Hehehe. ] Yukimura held the microphone of the landline with both hands, and smiled happily, making Minghao, who was watching TV on the sofa, very sour again. [There will be my match next week on Water Day, you have to come. 】

【certainly. 】

When Xu You arrived, Yukimura was surrounded by a boy who was wearing a hat backwards. He was taller than Yukimura and had a thicker frame. He looked quite reliable.

"You-kun." Xu You was wearing a light □□ ball uniform this time, with a cyan forehead wipe, matching Yukimura's eyes very well, "You look very handsome today."

"Kun Yukimura too," Xu You nodded, "I wish you a complete victory."

"Of course?" Yukimura's tone was quite arrogant, but Xu You knew that he only behaved like this in front of acquaintances.

"Who is this?"

"His name is Genichiro Sanada." Yukimura patted the boy next to him on the shoulder, "We've known each other since we first played tennis."

"Sanada-kun." Xu You nodded towards the boy, "I am Shenmuyou."

"Hello." Sanada saluted, quite standard.

Yukimura watched the interaction between the two for the first time, and raised his eyebrows, "We all have competitions, so you can do whatever you want."

"it is good."

Xu You didn't think anyone in the youth team could make things difficult for Yukimura. He could sweep a large area just by holding the ball, not to mention that because of Xu You's guidance, Yukimura's awareness of controlling the field was already quite high.

Of course, the psychological stability of on-the-spot performance needs to be honed from game to game.Xu You could see that Yukimura was a little nervous in his first official match, he always subconsciously glanced at Xu You's position on the sidelines.

[A mistake in the first serve is okay, but the second serve is very stable. ] Xu You thinks that even without him, Yukimura can adjust himself, but he doesn't mind Jun Zhong as a confidant.

Yukimura met Sanada in the quarterfinals, and there was no doubt about the result.

Xu You once asked Yukimura Sanada about his strength.Yukimura said that Sanada's style of play is very positive, and it is the mainstream style of play taught by the coach.Because the foundation of Sanada Kendo is very solid, the swing and footwork are also affected to some extent. The strength and endurance are very strong, and the speed is not slow. In terms of skills, six years of study are not empty talk.

"So Genichiro's greatest weakness lies in on-the-spot tactics."

Yukimura's analysis hits the nail on the head, which is why he has suppressed Sanada for at least three years.

"So Sanada-kun hasn't beaten you once in three years?"

"That's right." Yukimura sat on the bench and touched the trophy beside him, "Recently... almost all of them have been cut to zero." He knew that Sanada didn't like to keep his hands.

"Are you not reconciled?" Xu You actually doesn't know the specific relationship between the two, but the consecutive losses in the game will definitely leave a shadow in Sanada's subconscious.

"Sure." Yukimura expressed his sadness in front of Xu You for the first time, "Xianichiro thought he behaved quite normally, but there are always some details..."

"Maybe you can talk to him about that."

"That's his personality." Yukimura hung the towel around his neck, and bounced the ball with the racket frame, "You-kun, have you seen kendo? Concentrate and meditate, then swing the bamboo swords to fight each other, and finally seize the dead corner to attack. This process usually takes less than 1 minute, and you only need to move forward after you grasp the key point."

"This is Xianichiro's style of play. There may be periods of stalemate, but if it can be broken, the racket in his hand is a bamboo sword, and one blow is fatal. Every shot is like this."

"I understand." A person's temperament cannot be changed, "As far as the amateur level is concerned, this is not a problem." But in the high-end game, those veteran players will definitely focus on it.

"I can't actually intervene in the problem of the style of play." I can give a little hint and help, but it is wrong to intervene rashly.

"Speaking of which, Sanada-kun and Yukimura-kun have been together for a long time." He and Xu Jun also got along when they were three years old.

Yukimura grabbed the tennis ball and stopped, turned his head and quietly glanced at Xu You who was watching the court, and looked away: "Xianichiro is very good and reliable." There is always a drive, but steady, and he is very persistent in tennis.

"Yes." Xu You nodded in agreement.

"...You-kun is fine too."

"Hehe," Xu You looked at Yukimura gently, "Kun Yukimura thinks I'm fighting?"

"Contest? Probably? This is just my real opinion." Yukimura was sincere, and he really thought Xu You would be uncomfortable because of his compliment to another friend just now.

"I won't fight." Xu You pulled down the towel around his neck and folded it, "Just pretend that some positions in my heart are different from others."

"?"

The summer festival in Kanagawa is held on a sunny weekend.Shenmu felt that this was an excellent time to get along with his son, so he arranged his work schedule early and took Xu You out to play on this day.

In the afternoon, Shenmu put on his black kimono and came out, and saw Xu You still wearing his modern dress sitting on the sofa waiting.

"Don't Xiaoyou like the one I bought?" Mingming said with a very suitable color.

"Father likes that one?"

"I like it, Xiaoyou looks good in anything."

Xu You thought for a while, then went back to the room to change clothes.

The stalls on the street have already been set up, and there are more residents and tourists nearby.The girls put on colorful kimonos and took pictures of their most beautiful sides against the lively background.The children seized this opportunity to have fun, and the diners were also very happy.

"What does Xiaoyou want to play? Shooting targets? Rings? Or fishing for goldfish?" The calculations in Shenmu's heart were clattering. Xiaoyou is definitely not good at these things. Then he can help you hit a hit and show your father's goodness. Brilliant image.Imagining Xiaoyou looking at him with sparkling eyes of admiration is simply flattering!

Xu You was actually not interested at all, the festival was very lively, reminding him of the occasional gatherings at home.Slightly drunk people hold arrows and throw pots, and then casually mutter "love" and "to wine" and so on.

There is always a sense of ambiguity when family members express their feelings.The happy person will not directly say "I like you", but express it with what they are good at, such as piano music, calligraphy, sword dance, freehand ink painting, and even chess games.The other party can often understand, if not, it means it is not suitable.

The same goes for friendship.The two people who are good friends don't do things and play together every day, but when they are together, they must have the same friendship, be humble and not restrained, happy when they know their joy, and worry when they feel their sorrow.

"Xiaoyou...Xiaoyou?"

"?" Xu You looked up at Shenmu who was holding hands.

"Does Xiaoyou want that fluffy dog?" Seeing that Xu You had been wandering around silently with him, Shenmu had no choice but to take the initiative, "If you want it, Dad will call it for you."

"......want to."

"Okay!" Shenmu excitedly picked up the toy gun and started shooting. After more than ten years of police career, it's outrageous that he can't do this.

[Family is different for everyone, right? ] When Shenmu put on the police uniform, he was serious and serious, and he could be considered a talent if he could be promoted to the police department, not so stupid and easy to fool.But Shenmu often acts stupidly when he treats him. Is it the father's filter for the child?

So people don't lose their IQ when they are in love.

"Hey, isn't it cute?"

"Yeah." Xu You took the fluffy half-length toy dog ​​and hugged it to his chest, paused for two seconds, and praised seriously, "Dad is really amazing."

"Hahahaha." Shenmu flutteringly took Xu You's hand and planned to buy some snacks.

In the evening, there was a singer performing, and many people gathered around to watch. Shenmu and his son were the same. To be precise, Shenmu was appreciating seriously, but Xu You didn't pay much attention to it.

"You-kun?" After the performance, Yukimura caught a glimpse of slightly curly long brown and black hair in the scattered crowd. [You-jun looks great in this body! ]

"Xingmura-kun?" Xu You nodded in greeting, Shenmu raised his eyebrows and looked at the handsome kid in light blue bathrobe in front of him subtly. [Well, as expected of Xiaoyou, you have a very good eye for friends. ]

"are you alone?"

"Well, Yumi went to see the parade, and my mother followed."

"So, together? It's good to have someone to take care of you."

Shenmu touched the tip of his nose, but said nothing.

"Excuse me." Yukimura smiled with narrowed eyes.

The two children were talking about the upcoming Wimbledon, and Shenmu didn't act naive in front of his own son because of the presence of outsiders.It's just that there is a feeling in my heart...the jade cabbage at home is about to be snatched away after being touched by someone.

[It's too naive to compete with children for your own son. ] Shenmu calmly glanced at the two children chatting beside him.

"The fireworks are about to go off, I'm going to buy some incense and fireworks. You stay here and don't run around, you know?"

"Okay~" The location they were looking for was not crowded, it was next to the woods, but the view was better.

Yukimura felt that the current atmosphere was quite good: "Did You-kun come to the summer festival here last year?"

"This year is the first time."

"I see You-jun lacks interest in many things."

"Hmm... the fireworks will be nice, right?"

"Well, it's very gorgeous, there are all kinds of shapes and colors." Yukimura pulled Xu You to sit down, "When each bouquet of fireworks blooms, it will give everyone a different surprise."

"Ah." From the human point of view, the life of fireworks is so short; then is there a living body that they regard human life as fleeting?

Seeing that Xu You was in a trance again, Yukimura pulled back with a voice: "Hey, Yu-kun sees me the same as Genichiro?"

"Huh? Sanada-kun? It's different." Xu You looked at Yukimura, curious, "Why do you suddenly ask?"

"Really?" Yukimura was sad, "But You-kun has always called me 'Yukimura-kun', so strange."

"Eh..." Xu You was a little flustered by Yukimura's expression, he thought for a while, and before he was about to change the topic thoughtfully, he explained, "Does Mr. Yukura know the story about the mountains and flowing water?"

"Mountains and flowing water?"

"En." Xu You sat upright, and solemnly explained, "During the Spring and Autumn Period in the Middle Ages, there was a famous luthier named Boya. Grin and listen."

"One day, Boya was impromptu playing the qin by the river. He came across a woodcutter who came back from chopping firewood to read the qin, and asked him to identify the meaning of the qin. The woodcutter was named Zhong Ziqi. When Boya played the qin The sound was majestic and high-pitched, and Zhong Ziqi said, "That's right, it's towering and steep, just like Mount Tai." When Boya's piano sound was clear and smooth, Zhong Ziqi said, "That's good, it's vast and endless, like a river." The world only knows Boya Playing the qin is beautiful, but he can't understand his heart. But Zhong Ziqi must be able to feel the feelings that Boya puts in the sound of the qin. Later, people called the friendship between them "confidantes."

"If I said that at the beginning, I just followed the common social etiquette in Japan to address Yukimura-kun, but in fact it changed later." The family often calls friends by "Kun", and the title "Kun" shows more respect and affirmation.

"Yukimura-kun's word 'Kun' means something different from the polite way of addressing others."

"You mean, just like Boya did to Zhong Ziqi?" Xingcun's eyes brightened, obviously very interested.

"For me, it is."

"Then... can't you change it? For example, call me 'Jingshi-jun' like I call You-kun."

"This... there is no rule of naming Jiajun..."

"Really." Yukimura patted his leg, with regret in his tone, "Is there really no other name for You-kun?"

"If Yukimura-kun has a name, I can change it."

"Biaozi?" It was another unfamiliar word.

"This is called among peers, and the first name is the name of self-proclaimed or elders."

"Is it also the rule of the Middle Ages?"

"Ah."

"I don't have one." Yukimura rested his head on his hands, feeling a little annoyed, "Although You-kun explained it, I still want it to sound different from other people's names."

"This..." Xu You didn't expect that Yukimura would also be willful.

Seeing that the topic had reached an impasse, Yukimura took the initiative to change it: "Then if Yu-kun names you, who is he related to?"

"Name? Don't call your peers by your name."

"Certainly not?"

"Eh..." Xu You thought about it for a while, "Probably... the person I like? I really haven't called my peers by name."

"Okay, then, does Mr. You have... a name?"

"Yukimura-kun can just call me Yu-kun."

"Can't you tell me?"

"Of course not." Xu You struggled for a while, "Oh, it's unnecessary."

"Ha ha."

Both of them had no intention of watching the fireworks tonight.

Yukimura was touched for a moment, and incidentally felt that there was a gap between himself and Xu You, and planned to make up lessons.When Xu You reflected at night, he realized belatedly: It seems that the foundation is a bit too much.Maybe Yukimura will find out his secret in the future.

Speaking of which, does Yukimura still remember the incident at the orphanage?

Did you forget?

The author has something to say:

Yukimura: You think too much ^_^

//Don't look at the young brother Cun and think it's easy to fool, keep a small notebook

Looking for bosom friends in mountains and rivers

Would love to show this friendship.

Of course, the accumulation of feelings to a certain extent may change qualitatively.

For the previous changes, the setting remains the same, but the way of expression is changed.You can ignore it.

The reason for the world setting is not to give Xu You a golden finger, so there are a lot of foreshadowing and things to explain in the early stage, and the overall look is not very visual.

It's still not expressive enough, I will try my best.
