The man from Wugeng's family is indeed reliable

"Hey, Xiaoshu, are you okay? I have some tissues here."

Wow

The rain came unexpectedly, yet seemed to pour down as if it was natural. The last rain of summer, like the last emotion in life blooming, hit the ground with all its might.

But the rain no longer gave people that unsettling feeling. Amidst the gentle comfort, the clouds and mist eventually dissipated, and an incomplete rainbow reappeared under the blue sky.

Like dissipating rain clouds, tears of emotion remained on Haoshu's face, and he smiled warmly.

"thank you all."

"Fool"

Chapter 76 Hiroki Gokura strikes forward!

The end of August swept by like a comet, and in the season of fragrant golden osmanthus, the dream began here.

Noon has arrived!

Chiba Prefectural Sobu High School, tennis court

Today's weather feels very comfortable. Perhaps it's because of the heavy rain for several consecutive days, and it gradually feels like autumn.

The blue sky was covered by clouds, and the tennis court was quiet at noon, with only the faint sound of the breeze blowing.

As a top-tier high school in the county, its public facilities were naturally quite large, and from a distance, they appeared neat and clean. Historically, only the tennis club had used the courts. Consequently, the slack net remained hanging in place, as it had been yesterday, amidst the sluggish club activities.

In the gentle breeze, under the faint sunlight, on the court where light and shadow change, the net stands still and motionless.

It's like he's waiting patiently for the members to arrive.

Suddenly, the sound of chaotic footsteps was heard in the usually quiet stadium.

The leader is the current captain of the tennis club, third-year student Hotaru Iikawa. Although her name sounds very feminine, she is indeed a rare tall person. She is nearly 1.9 meters tall but always stays in the air-conditioned room playing games instead of training properly. Although it is related to the fact that she has not had good results in the club for two years and therefore has no belief in striving, she has a good temper and good abilities, so the old members all support her to be the captain.

At this moment, he was just like usual, with a slight smile on his face, and he walked quietly into the tennis court with a group of people behind him.

What he saw was a familiar scenery. An indescribable color flashed in his eyes, and he turned to the team members around him and said.

"Hey, Xiaoyan-chan, how long has it been since we last came here?"

He was slapped hard on the head by a hedgehog-headed guy who was slightly shorter than him.

"How many times have I told you not to call me that weird name? How would I know about that? We haven't had a good time since the last spring game."

He glared fiercely at his best friend in front of him, one of the third-year seniors in the Oyama Iwao Tennis Club, and a childhood friend of Hotaru's who had attended the same school since elementary school.

As his name suggests, he is a man with a strong aura. Since the last crushing defeat, he and his generation have faded out of club activities.

The above two are the candidates for today's competition.

Two tall guys stood in front of Hiroshi and Ayaka like two mountains.

Compared to them, Ayaka, who is less than 1.7 meters tall, and Hiroshi, who is 1.8 meters tall, are like two naughty children in front of them.

"I said that as long as we defeat you today, you will not bother us anymore in the future." Ying choked for a moment when she said the word "trouble". She looked at the two people in front of her who were full of energy with a complicated expression. "It's great to be young."

And we can't go back

Just a few days ago, Hiroki and Ayaka suddenly came to them, invited them to a match, and agreed not to bother them anymore if they lost.

However, Yan gave Ying a complicated look.

Ying is so gentle that she can agree to the mischief of these two little guys.

As if he could sense the gaze beside him, as if he could see through his thoughts, a smile appeared on his face.

"Xiaoyan, you're so kind to agree to come with me."

The head was hit again, but this time the force was much gentler.

Yan's gruff voice of dissatisfaction rang in my ears again.

"So how long are you going to be in a daze? Act like a senior in front of the first-years."

"hehe"

He scratched his head and returned his gaze to Hiroki and Ayaka who were standing in front of him with serious expressions.

"Well, let's start warming up."

"Oh!!!"

With a majestic shout, all kinds of sounds will fill the tennis court.

Clatter, someone pushed a basket full of balls over.

There was a rustling sound as someone's soles scraped against the floor.

Boom boom boom, the ball hit the ground with a thud, shaking the air in the stadium.

Shouts and cheers.

Sweat splashed everywhere, but a smile would appear occasionally.

It was just a warm-up, just a group activity after a long time, but I don't know why the blood flowing slowly in my body suddenly surged.

When the whistle sounded, all the members rushed to a field and surrounded it. The reason for all these actions and everything in the future would be announced by the result here.

"Yoshi is in good shape. Are the first graders over there ready?"

Haoshuang asked, and Hiroshi responded with a calm nod.

For a moment, people had an inexplicable feeling that the air around them froze instantly.

The sunlight shining through the clouds was extremely dazzling, and even made people feel a little hot for some unknown reason.

Compared to the calm Hiroki, Ayaka Totsuka behind him looked as if she was so anxious that tears were about to burst out, and her heart was beating violently.

However, the competition did not take into account the boy's fragile heart at all, and began in his anxiety.

The opposite Ying threw the ball up, and the smile on her gentle face faded.

A powerful serve!

Since this is a competition, there is absolutely no possibility of showing mercy. First-year students, let me see your awareness.

"Hey, Ayaka. I told you, didn't I?"

In the blink of an eye, Hiroshi took a quick step and swung his racket towards the fast-flying ball.

call out!

The ball flies back to the opponent's court.

Boom!

Then, he hit the ground hard and bounced out of the field.

Everyone doubted themselves in an instant, put up their rackets, turned around and grinned at Caijia.

"As long as I am here, you are the strongest."

So go ahead and fight with peace of mind!

Even if we don't have the confidence to win, even if people around us say it's impossible, we are the only ones who can't say such things. Besides, you have practiced with me so many times, how could you possibly lose, because we are the strongest.

"It's a lie"

"He returned the minister's first shot!"

Such a clean and neat, such a swift and powerful counterattack.

No matter how much you don't believe it, this is an indisputable fact.

Unlike the surprise of others, the two people on the field began to tremble all over. This feeling was an involuntary reaction of the body after encountering a strong enemy. They licked their dry lips.

They could feel themselves sweating all over.

"Well done, first grader!!!"

Then another powerful blow!

oh oh!

The tennis court, filled with sound and heat, was boiling again.

Extra 1: If you don’t give me candy on Halloween, I’ll make trouble

The sea breeze, with moisture and coolness, blows on the people playing on the beach.

Different from the children who were playing excitedly, Haoshu seemed calmer, feeling the smooth skin of the woman under him. If he had not been roaring in his heart that his heart was as clear as ice and he would not be afraid of the world falling, he might have been unable to suppress the wild power that was stirring in his heart.

"Hey Jing, the sunscreen is ready."

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but a faint blush appeared on her usually serious face. Haoshu always felt that Jing was more charming and attractive at this moment than before, as beautiful as that first night.

"I'll leave the front of the room to you as well."

The black swimsuit straps at the front have been untied because she said they were tied too tightly and it was uncomfortable to apply the cream. From Hiroshi's angle, he can see the beauty of the cute curve held down by the blanket.

The Adam's apple rolls up and down. Although it looks very beautiful, it always feels a bit embarrassing in broad daylight.

"Sorry, you have to go ahead by yourself."

After saying this, Hiroshi ran from the beach with his head down and his ears red, and jumped into the warm sea.

puff

Like a mother's embrace, the water embraced his entire body.

Only Jing was left with a stunned look on her face, looking at the embarrassed figure with both anger and amusement.

This is indeed what Hiroshi is like. He is very reliable when he is serious, but becomes extremely slow when it comes to matters like love. He always behaves like a novice when it comes to things like this.

It is such a little man that makes an older girl named Shizuka Hiratsuka so fond of him, and she abandons worldly prejudices and is determined to be with him.

It was raining heavily.

As this communication continued, an inexplicable tacit understanding formed between the two.

Maybe no one noticed, but a shadow appeared quietly in my heart.

She sat on a stool at the cocktail party. The originally noisy atmosphere had now returned to a dead state. Although some of the men who came to participate were indeed outstanding, she always felt for some reason that this was not her happiness. On the messy table, half a bottle of red wine became her only companion.

Her mouth-watering red lips opened slightly, and she drank the liquid in the cup in one gulp.

Sad, lonely and cold may be the best description of her at this moment.

"Hey, Jing, do you want me to give you a ride home?"

A friend beside her asked her kindly before leaving, and she smiled and shook her head in rejection.

"No, I've asked someone to pick me up."

Then, just as he finished speaking, a tall figure appeared in front of her like a ghost, frowned as he looked at her with an intoxicated face, and picked her up as if she were a treasure.

When I got home, it was already eleven o'clock.

A blush caused by drunkenness appeared on her face, and her soft long hair spread out on the sofa like a waterfall.

"I've told you so many times not to drink so much, but you just won't listen."

She grumbled softly, perhaps with more heartache in her voice. She turned and walked into the bathroom, turning on the hot water as she knew how to do. She placed a basin of hot water in front of the sofa, took off her socks, and held up her cute little feet, placing them in the warm water.

Looking up at Jing who still had a dazed expression on her face, Haoshu said no more and went into the kitchen to get busy.

Perhaps it was because the warm water was so comfortable, or perhaps it was because I didn't drink much today, but as the alcohol wore off a little, my vision became much clearer.

At this time, Hiroshi also walked out of the kitchen with honey ginger tea. In order to cater to her taste, he specially added a little lemon juice.

"Well, thank you"

He took the steaming tea and looked down at the rippling water surface in the cup.

Then, under the influence of alcohol, the emotions in my heart seemed to become somewhat difficult to control.

Let me say it, Shizuka Hiratsuka has never been a hesitant girl.

"Hiroshi"

"Um"

Holding a cup of hot tea, Jing's face was immersed in happiness, as she indulged in her dreamy reverie.

"I think I've fallen in love with you, Hiroshi."

Hiroshi seemed a little caught off guard by the sudden confession. He widened his eyes in surprise, his cheeks slightly red, and his eyeballs trembled slightly.
