【Fuji Tsuka】On how to fall in love when two people are seamless

After that day, someone called Fuji Shusuke.

Yukimura Seiichi has always been that person, and he can say with certainty that the moment when Fuji Shusuke really fell in love with Tezuka Kunimitsu came from that moment.

It was the moment when the Japanese team faced the German team in the World U17 semi-finals in their third year of junior high school, the moment when the singles S2 match ended.

Many years later, Yukimura Seiichi still expressed his emotion to Genichiro Sanada.

A person who can clearly understand love at the age of fourteen or fifteen is not relying on, not getting used to, not looking up to, not worshiping, but just "love".

That, is really a lucky enough thing.

On the phone, Yukimura's voice showed a trace of fatigue, presumably because he had just left the court.

Yukimura asked Buer where he met such a lovely white daisy.

To tell the truth, Tezuka is about to rent a new apartment.

Yukimura laughed softly and said, "Tezuka-kun is really lucky."

Fuji didn’t think so. At that time, he was busy with Tezuka’s biography plan. He listed at least 20 text interview plans, 10 sets of photography plans with different looks and 3 video recordings.

After working all night to finish the interview outlines of those interviews and photography videos, he called Tezuka's assistant again and again to finalize the time with the other party, but he never expected that Tezuka's training plan was more full than that of himself, a genius with multiple jobs. You can only shorten the time of "disturbing" Tezuka.

"The guy who follows Tezuka Kunimitsu doesn't have a fuel-efficient lamp."

Fuji complained to Yukimura like this, but in exchange for Yukimura's counterattack.

"This sentence is exactly what we Lihai wanted to say back then."

Bu Er choked, thinking of Qingxue's past of breaking the Lihai National Competition for three consecutive times, he was a little proud and a little guilty.

"Thank you Jingshi for making the concession."

Jingshi smiled back: "The skills are not as good as others, so I am willing to admit defeat. So Zhou Zhu, do you want to admit defeat this time?"

Fuji yawned on the phone, and joked: "It's been so many years since I sent King Ren to play singles with me, Jingshi, you still like to watch me make a fool of yourself."

Yukimura said: "Who is called a genius such as Fuji Shusuke, there has always been only one fatal spot."

Buer snorted lightly, and changed the subject: "By the way, Jingshi, do you want to go to India with me during the holiday?"

Yukimura was surprised: "Are you still free to go to India?"

Buer replied flatly: "The time is all planned, I don't think there is anything that can stump me."

Yukimura still refused Fuji: "I can't go away, the lawyer in this case is very difficult to deal with. Besides..." Yukimura paused, "Recently, Genichiro's situation needs to be paid attention to."

"Hey, what's the matter?"

Yukimura sighed softly: "Seigaku Tennis Club is being elected, it's time to have a party, this time maybe all of you can come together, maybe."

"... to... all?"

After hanging up the unfathomable phone call with Yukimura, Fuji immediately received a message from Kikumaru about the party, the time and place were clearly marked, and Fuji counted the number of people, and found that Echizen Ryoma was still missing.

Also, I heard that this last year's French Open Grand Slam winner is training in Switzerland, so how could he appear in a sushi restaurant in Japan?

Fuji replied to Kikumaru, and then clicked on the chat dialog box with Tezuka Kunimitsu on the communication software.

"Ne, Tezuka. The first interview should be the night after the youth party."

Yes, in the end, the first text interview was about a week later on the night of the gathering of the main candidates of the Qing Xue Tennis Club.

Fuji's calculations were clanging, because the work arrangement with Tezuka became the best excuse for the two to avoid drinking.

Fuji even took the thick stack of interview outlines to the party, and slammed it on the solid wood table of Kawamura's sushi restaurant. Fuji raised his chin and said softly, if anyone can drink him tonight, he will delay If they got an interview with Tezuka Kunimitsu, they would have to pay each of them [-] yen an hour for lost wages.

One hundred thousand is still a friendly price.

While talking, the expressionless grand slam winner also arrived at the sushi restaurant, and the party officially began.

The big meal was brought to the table, and the atmosphere was still as lively as before. Kikumaru entangled Dashi to drink, Taocheng and Haitang started their 700th big stomach king competition, and tried their best to sell some strange flavors to Hecun's father. Seasoning, Tezuka sat next to Fuji and drank oolong tea that only the elderly would love, and tasted rice with eel, but Fuji has competed with Aron for the seventh year, and is tasting his improved No.13 times wasabi sushi.

"Spicy." After eating six pieces of wasabi and cucumber sushi, Fuji wiped his mouth and said calmly, "It's still not enough to knock me down, Aaron."

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... It is possible to "poison" Fuji, but he has tried for so many years but still cannot defeat Fuji.

"Give."

Tezuka brought over a cup of oolong tea, which was steaming hot and emitting white smoke.

"Even if you don't have alcohol, you don't have to choose such an old-fashioned drink."

Buer said stubbornly.

Tezuka glanced at him and said, "The corners of your eyes are red."

Fuji stuck out his tongue: "It's really hot, maybe I can only win this year."

Tezuka pushed the cup of hot tea closer: "Genius, admit defeat?"

Buer no longer evaded, drank the oolong tea in front of him, and then smiled mysteriously.

"Ne, Tezuka. Have you heard of devil peppers? If you want to see me lose so much, I can send you some free as a souvenir when I go to India this time."

Buer is really smart, his thick stack of interview plans prevented everyone from Qingxue from persuading him to drink.

However, people in the world always need the right time, place and people to plan their affairs.

Who would have thought that just one and a half hours after the party started, a huge "accident" happened in the sushi restaurant.

"Yo……"

Accompanied by a long and lazy greeting, there was the sound of wind chimes ringing at the entrance of the sushi restaurant.

The wooden door was opened, and a young man wearing a mask and a white peaked cap entered outside.

26 years old, 1.7 meters two, Echizen Ryoma.

The audience was silent for three seconds, and then, led by the cat Kikumaru, the people in the store let out a burst of cheers that almost lifted the roof.

"little guy!!!!!"

With a sound of wow, Taocheng pulled Haitang, Kawamura pulled Gan, and Kikumaru pulled Daishi. These six people divided into three groups and pressed towards Echizen at the door. After a while, the seven people piled up together. How should I put it, it's a bit like the Russian matryoshka brought back from Russia that year.

Not surprised, but also happy to laugh.

Tezuka didn't quite agree, because he also heard that Echizen was training in Switzerland in closed mode, and even disrupted the training plan in order to attend a party. That's something that Minister Tezuka absolutely can't tolerate!

But precisely because of Echizen's appearance, Fuji's plan is in jeopardy.

You know, among the nine candidates for the Qingxue Tennis Club, there are actually two players from the World Professional Open who are so busy flying around the world like a spinning top every day. The photographer on the island, because of these three people, Qingxue's party has not been gathered for three years, and now that the long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, how can...not drink? !

The warm greeting session ended, and Kawamura’s father brought out a large bowl of sashimi platter like a magic trick. Kikumaru Daishi Momojo Echizen and the others were already a little dazed from drinking. They approached step by step with red faces and holding wine glasses. Tezuka and Fuji who were hiding far away in the corner.

At that moment, he was as reserved and majestic as Tezuka, and as genius as cunning, and they were all defeated in the end.

"drink----"

I don't know who it was, and suddenly yelled drunkenly. Tezuka and Fuji looked at each other and smiled wryly.

After the alcohol enters the intestines, it is difficult to say clearly what happened after that.

However, many years later, whenever Buer thinks of this scene, he will still be grateful for the first glass of wine that someone handed over.

That reminded him of many past events.

The past of their happy gathering here 14 years ago.

The history of Youth Academy's hard-fought battle with Lihai and finally winning the national championship.

The past of his loss to Shiraishi Kuranosuke.

In order to win, Tezuka fought hard with Keigo Atobe in the tiebreaker and caused a shoulder injury.

There is also the past when Echizen Ryoma stood on the court for the first time to fight for the selection of Seigaku.

Scenes of memories gradually became clear due to rational exit.

Fuji turned to look at Tezuka, then at the others.

Between half-dream and half-awake, Fuji seems to have seen themselves many years ago, wearing blue and white tennis uniforms, with eight or nine huge black tennis bags stacked in the corner, the chosen jacket was thrown all over the floor, and someone even threw the sacred ball Futuan was sleeping in a ball under the head as a pillow. Mr. Ryuzaki always scolded them, but no one listened to them.

Echizen is still unstoppable, Taocheng is still hot-tempered, Haitang is still refusing to admit defeat, the glasses frames are still the same for thousands of years, Kawamura is still busy for everyone, Kikumaru is still grabbing food from everyone's plates, Oishi's hairstyle is still funny, and Tezuka's expression is still stiff.

And he himself still smiled like a spring breeze.

Closing his eyes, he seemed to see a blue flag fluttering in the wind in his mind, on which the words Youth Academy were clearly visible.

"Qingxue... ah..."

Bu Er sighed, then struggled to fall asleep, maybe fell on someone's shoulder, he no longer knew.

After a long time, Fuji was woken up by another burst of wind chimes. He woke up with a splitting headache, and was surprised to find that the sky was almost dawn, and the group of Qingxue had been tossing around in the sushi restaurant in Hecun noisily. night!

Bu Er straightened up from the table in pain, and found that a coat had slipped from his shoulders. He lowered his head to pick it up, and his tinnitus immediately struck in his head.

"Hmm..." Fuji groaned uncontrollably, and after finally recovering, he realized that Tezuka was not much better, leaning to one side, constantly rubbing his temples.

"You're awake." Tezuka said softly, then pointed around and made a shush gesture.

Only then did Fuji see the "Sura Scene". The shop was in a mess, with seven or eight adult men lying in a mess, all of them snoring loudly. Compared with them, Tezuka and Fuji were really the most elegant among them. two of them.

Reluctantly, he and Tezuka looked at each other for a moment, then looked at the thick stack of interview outlines that he had brought with him regretfully, silently mourning for his wasted working hours.

"What should I do?" Fuji asked Tezuka with his mouth: "Wake them up, or just like this, throw them all away?"

Tezuka was also very distressed, before he had time to answer, he only heard a slam, and there was a sound of closing the door, so he turned his head to look, and when he saw the person coming, he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Ne, Tezuka. Sanada is here."

Yes, it is Genichiro Sanada.

28 years old, former deputy head of the Lihai Tennis Department, one of the U17 Japanese national team members, and the current police officer of the Japanese Criminal Investigation Division.

Tezuka greeted him suspiciously.

Sanada's complexion was not very good, even worse than that of Tezuka who was hungover all night.

"Sanada."

Tezuka greeted Sanada, and Sanada responded politely: "Long time no see, Tezuka, grandfather mentioned you a while ago."

"I've neglected to greet you." Tezuka replied, "I'll find a chance to visit the house during training breaks."

Sanada pursed her lips, indicating that she knew.

Behind Tezuka, Fuji nodded to indicate that he had seen it.

Tezuka really didn't understand the reason why Sanada appeared here. Sanada seemed to sense his doubts, lowered his voice, and said, "Sorry Tezuka, I didn't come to see you, I came to find... him."

Following Sanada's fingers, Tezuka turned his head and saw a young man staggering up from the crowd of people in the sushi restaurant who were so sleepy.

"Echizen?" There was disbelief in Tezuka's voice.

Fuji quickly thought of something, found his phone, and sent a message to Yukimura.

Yukimura replied quickly, with only four simple words.

"I think so."

Bu Er dimmed the phone, but it was rare that he didn't smile.

Sanada crossed Tezuka, came to the sleepy Echizen, grabbed his arm and lifted it up, and the 1.7-meter-two young man took advantage of the opportunity to lie on the 1.8-meter-high man.

I don't know who it is, and sighed lightly.

"I'll take you back."

There seemed to be anger in Sanada's voice, but he suppressed it, suppressed by the affection and tenderness that Fuji and Tezuka had never seen in this life.

Tezuka had completely forgotten his surprise, and Fuji closed his eyes.

"Ne, Tezuka. Let's go first."

After picking up the two people's things, Fuji and Tezuka left a note on the front desk, and then left first with Sanada's nod.

The moment he closed the door, he saw Sanada's car parked on the side of the road.

Tokyo is still a bit cool in the early morning of March. It is just after five o'clock at this time. Although the whole city is bright enough to see the road, you can't see the sun when you look up.

Buer tightened his coat and held the camera in his arms, looking a little flimsy.

Tezuka wanted to take off the scarf and hand it to Fuji, but Fuji refused.

They walked along the road, Tezuka put Fuji on the sidewalk without a trace, but Fuji said it was okay, he didn't have to protect him, it was early in the morning, and the bus hadn't even started on the road Woolen cloth.

Tezuka asked him how to get back, but Fuji said, "Let's go first."

Tezuka hesitated for a moment, then asked him if he wanted to know about Sanada.

Tezuka didn't speak, and he knew that it was his upbringing that prevented him from prying into other people's privacy in private.

"This matter was not a secret among us who stayed in Japan to develop."

Needless to say, there was a hint of sadness in his tone.

Tezuka nodded and did not stop Fuji from continuing.

"I remember that the foreign media did not report this matter." Fuji thought for a while, "And you also know that the Japanese media have always disliked Echizen, probably because they don't like his American citizenship. After all, Japan is so eager for excellence. tennis player."

Tezuka naturally knew that he was very dissatisfied that his "pillar of Qingxue" had been neglected in the Japanese media over the years.

"But maybe, the good thing is, the media don't know..."

"Sanada and Echizen used to be together."

A red light stopped in front of their eyes, Tezuka stopped, surprise flashed in his eyes, but he did not panic.

"Ever?" he asked.

Fuji nodded: "Yes, once. They have been together for a long time, from Echizen to 24 years old, a full six years."

"It's been so long..." Tezuka sighed.

"Yes." Fuji paused, "It's just..."

"Because of what?" Tezuka asked the reason for the separation.

"Because there are so many." Fuji fell into memory, he remembered that during those six years, he was often not in Japan, flying around the world, and every word that happened in Japan was probably told by Yukimura.

He and Yukimura are not the kind of people who take other people's privacy as a topic, but...

Sanada is in too much pain.

Since Echizen was 16 years old and Sanada was 19 years old, Sanada confessed to Echizen, after two years of hard pursuit, he finally got the child's response.

Since then, Echizen has been training in the United States for a long time. They gather less and leave more. Echizen debuted at the age of 20. Sanada graduated from University and became a policeman. At that time, almost no one knew that they were together. They even became prosecutors and Sanada's partner in handling criminal cases. Even Yukimura only had a vague idea.

Echizen was 22 years old. Sanada took Echizen back to his hometown that winter. He knelt in the yard of his house in heavy snow, and his father didn't open the door for the two of them all night.

Echizen is a professional tennis player, and his knees are more important than anything else. In the end, Sanada took Echizen away and never went back.

Echizen was 23 years old. The Japanese media photographed Echizen going in and out of Sanada’s rented apartment and extorting [-] million yen from Echizen with the photos. Otherwise, Echizen would not be able to gain a foothold in the world tennis world. Echizen did not agree, and Sanada mastered it within three months. The reporter's other blackmail evidence sent him to jail.

But just a year later, someone deliberately misrepresented Sanada's "intent" in handling the reporter's extortion case, sent the photo of Sanada Echizen taken by the reporter to the police station where Sanada was located, and demanded that the case be retried on the charge of retaliating for public benefit, and Sanada He was suspended, and Echizen knew that even if Sanada could pass this test, his existence would make Sanada always walk on thin ice in the conservative environment of the Japanese police station, and all of Sanada's future might be ruined in their insistence.

They broke up at the end of that year, and Echizen took the lead to leave. After that, Aigaku never held a complete party.And the ins and outs of all this was Sanada who only told Yukimura at the end of that year.

As for other people who know about this, most of them are people who want to help in the middle of the process, Oishi, Kikumaru, Atobe, Shinobu, and Kirihara and Marui...

But no one can help them.

"Tezuka, you don't know, maybe it's a good thing." Fuji finally said: "If possible, all of us who know want to forget."

"I can't forget it." Tezuka suddenly said, coldly but hotly in the morning light.

"This kind of feeling is unforgettable."

Fuji took a deep look at Tezuka, then smiled, and replied, "Yes, it seems that Sanada himself has not forgotten."

Hearing this, Tezuka looked back. They were already far away from Kawamura's sushi restaurant, and there was no other sound on the street except for the constantly switching traffic lights.

Another red light, with a dazzling light, stopped in front of them.

Tezuka and Fuji stood side by side at this end of the street, waiting for the passage of time.

Tezuka looked back again, then thought for a long time, and asked, "Let's just leave like this, is it okay?"

Fuji replied softly, "No problem."

Tezuka pursed his lips and didn't answer.

Fuji smiled lightly, lowered the corners of his mouth slightly, and asked softly, "Would it be you, Tezuka, would you hurt the person you like?"

Tezuka froze for a moment, then lowered his head and closed his eyes.

After a long time, there was a "chirp", and the red light blocking people's progress finally turned bright green. Tezuka pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and continued to walk forward.

He said, "Yes, Sanada is definitely not that kind of person."

Bu Er smiled and followed him: "That's right."

They walked in silence for a long time.

Until Fuji stopped at the door of a coffee shop.

He said.

"Ne, Tezuka. Look, the sun is out."
