Outside the one-and-a-half-height walls of the Ice Emperor Academy,Xiang Higaku and Saotome Nao are looking at each other.。 The red-haired Yueren stared at the girl in front of him from top to bottom with round blue-purple eyes, while Nao, who was also red-haired, squinted his eyes and glared back. A gust of wind blew, and the lilac petals that had been blown off the tree swirled through the intersecting sights of the two, and in an instant they were struck by the crackling electricity and smoked.

"Turn it over. ”

"Don't. ”

"Turn it over!"

"Absolutely not. ”

"I said flip over and flip over!"

"If I say no, don't!"

"It's just such a low wall, you're scared?" Yue Ren's eyebrows raised, "Or—you can't do it?"

"I'm afraid? I can't do it? Are you kidding? this kind of thing—" Nao bared his white teeth defiantly at him, but instantly snorted at Yue Ren, who was about to have a victorious expression, "You better save it, this trick won't work for me." ”

"Ahh

"Then you tell me the direction, and I'll go by myself. ”

"That's not going to work!" Yue Ren refused her without thinking about it, "I said to pick you up, what's the point of letting you walk over by yourself!"

"So you're going to let me climb over the wall?" Nao looked left and right, "On this busy street?"

"Then, let's go over there—" Xiang Higaku pointed to a large tree on the sidewalk not far from them, "It's more hidden, no one will see it!"

"But if I brought a bento, if I climbed over the wall, it would shake the inside into a mess. Nao lifted the lunch box wrapped in cloth in his hand, "Otherwise, you can turn it over first, and I'll hand you the lunch through the crack in the iron railing, and then I'll turn it over myself." ”

"That's not going to work, what if you don't run over the wall by yourself!"

"Are you doubting my credibility?" Nao raised an eyebrow, "Either I'll do as I say, or I'll walk through the school gate myself." ”

"Ahh!——h

Yue Ren looked at his watch anxiously, Fu Er snatched the lunch box from Nao's hand, stuffed the top of the lunch box with a cloth knot in his mouth and bit it tightly, and without waiting for Nao to react, he picked at the brick crack of the wall and climbed to the top, and stepped out of his legs and straddled the top of the wall. Nao just opened his mouth to watch him climb the wall with a bento cloth on his hand, like a large, well-trained dog for delivering the morning newspaper.

"Poof—"

"Damn! What a laugh!" Xiang Ri blushed, holding the lunch box in his hand and shouting at Nao, "Didn't you say that you were afraid of spilling, the only way to do it is to do it, isn't it! Anyway, you turn it over now, I can eat it if you don't come back again!" After speaking, he shook the box wrapped in blue floral cloth as if threateningly.

"Okay, okay, I'll flip, poof-"

Before Xiang Sun erupted again, Nao suddenly pulled out his legs and ran towards the big tree he was pointing at, and then kicked hard at the tree with his reaction force. The lace-up boots steadied the rough trunk of the tree, and she climbed the tree almost vertically in just two steps. But instead of slowing down, she pressed her toes on the trunk of the tree a little harder—and the whole person was already soaring into the air like a swift.

"Wow - awesome!"

Yue Ren stared at Nao's "Leaping Fence" with round eyes, and a hint of admiration flashed in his blue-purple pupils, but then he was obscured by the thick belligerence. Nao landed lightly to the ground, flicking her ponytail and glancing at him seemingly casually. This gentle glance didn't mean anything else, but in the eyes of Xiang Higaku, it was more like a provocation, turning the belligerence in his eyes into a raging fighting spirit.

"What, you have that kind of look!" Yue Ren shouted like a fury, "Look at it, my Uncle Xiangri won't lose to a woman!"

"Huh?" Nao was stunned, "When did I say ......?"

But before Nao could finish speaking, Yue Ren put the bento in his mouth again, and his thin but powerful legs kicked on the top of the wall, and with a force, he jumped up from the high wall—

The young man's sturdy and well-proportioned body drew graceful lines in the air, and he leaped out of the blue sea like a flying fish towards the sky. Her short, satin-smooth hair shone with a blush sheen, reflecting the pale golden dappled sunlight that casts through the lush canopy, and Nao's golden-green eyes reflect a stunning and magnificent color.

She quietly watched the boy's body smoothly turn and land in the air, the heavy red melting into the golden-green pupils, like a shovel digging out the small seed in her heart. The strange love broke through in the dazzling proud smile of the teenager, getting brighter and brighter, growing at an incredible speed, crawling all over her chest. A voice gradually floated from the gushing blood wrapped in layers of heart muscle—this voice murmured, slowly turning into a low roar, shouting that she had never been, and did not know what she was having.

Envy, want to have, want to be like him.

"How's that, it's handsome!"

Nao looked at the boy who smiled at her with a V, and the voice in her heart beat heavily on her chest like a war drum.

[You are yourself, Saotome Nao. 】

A hearty smile of her own that she didn't even know appeared on her face, and the boulder that had been pressing on her head all year round was unconsciously shattered and weathered and disappeared without a trace.

"Not bad," Nao flicked her ponytail and folded her arms proudly, "but it's still some way away." ”

"Damn, who do you think you are, it's clear that I'm jumping higher than you!"

"I'm just me, not only does I jump taller than you, but I also look taller than you Saotome Nao!"

"Damn and hateful, one day I will grow taller than you!" Yue Ren rounded his arms and glared angrily, "And that competition, I will definitely win!"

"We'll see. ”

Although the two were arguing, their feet did not stop, and after a while, they walked from the wall to the tennis court of the Ice Emperor's kindergarten. The crowd on the pitch had long been attracted by the sound of the quarrel from far to near, but the people in training did not stop their movements because of this sudden sound, only the young man in the formal uniform and sitting in the high stands watched the two enter with a blank expression. He motioned with his eyes to the members of the field to continue training, and pulled his coat on his shoulders and stood up from his exclusive seat.

"Over there, what are you doing?"

"Do you think I'm jumping the highest?" Yue Ren saw his minister, ran over as if he had found shelter, turned around and pointed at Nao, who had already swept his eyes on the field, and shouted, "Nao, that guy actually said that she jumped higher than me, damn it!"

"And then?" the silver-purple short-haired boy frowned, his uplifted tail note showing his displeasure, "You left the venue just to quarrel?"

"I didn't fight! I just ......."

"Uncle Ben only agrees with you to take a five-minute leave of absence, take a good look at the current time!"

Yue Ren pouted, took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and suddenly fell silent as if he had pressed the pause button, and did not make a sound again.

"Fifty meters to run twenty sets, go now!"

Xiang Higaku whispered a "cut", took off his team uniform jacket and glared at Nao, then threw his coat at her fiercely, and ran towards the field with a puff of smoke. Nao held the coat that almost covered her head in one hand and the lunch box in the other, and looked at the Yueren who was running hard. Even if he was late to pick him up, this kind of personality that exploded at one point was really helpless.

However, there is an unexpected feeling of cuteness.

Nao laughed out loud at his own thoughts, rolled up Yueren's coat two or three times, hugged it in his arms, found a place to sit down in the corner of the stands, and never looked at the "trace" where Yueren was running.

The young man, who had been standing aside and seemed to be ignored for the first time, darkened his face, gently put his hand between his eyebrows and looked at Nao from top to bottom, and there seemed to be a soft "hum" in his nose, and he turned around and walked back to his seat, and a faint scent of lilacs wafted out from his wind-blown team jersey jacket.

It wasn't until he turned around completely that Nao withdrew his gaze and looked at what Yue called the "Minister of Traces".

Although I hadn't met him before, his name was already thunderous. Not only Yueren, but even Sakamoto Shumi kept whispering this name in her ear in the first few days of school. But Nao didn't have any interest in his "flamboyant" style, just curious about what his charm was that he was able to impress his second- and third-year seniors.

It's okay to say that the tennis club is just a game for the rich young master, but it's not just that. Defeating the doubles combination of Taka and Shishido by a single hand, including the minister, not only impressed the competitive Taketo, but also the son of the teacher at the dojo where Shumi was located began to learn tennis in order to defeat him after being promoted to the junior high school.

Is the charm that he expressed, which attracts the attention of the people and induces them to follow, merely great strength?

"I can't understand ......"

Nao rubbed her cheeks and muttered, shook her head and looked at the tennis court.

Although the Ice Emperor Kindergarten is said to be a primary school, its tennis courts are not inferior to those of middle schools and even high schools. I don't know if it has something to do with the philosophy of the founder, but hard tennis, which is very dangerous for elementary school students, has been taken very seriously in this school, and it can be seen from the number of elementary school students who practice swinging rackets on the court.

Officers in medium-sized uniforms and elementary school students in dark blue T-shirts gave one-on-one instruction, and the four side-by-side tennis courts were packed with dense silver and dark blue. Even Nao, who has excellent eyesight, can't find a familiar face among so many people, but she just casually glances at it and finds her sister Saotome Natsu's storage zài-

Dressed in a dark blue T-shirt, a white □ skirt, and two ponytails in her ears, Natsu is energetically practicing her swing racket, but there are so many girls like her around her that they are like stars. The reason why Nao found her at a glance was nothing else, just because the person who instructed Natsu to practice was too eye-catching.

Taller than the average junior high school student, in the team uniform of an elementary school student, the tall boy was instructing Natsu over and over again, stopping every now and then to correct her swing posture or knee stance. Such a boy could not be ignored even in the middle section, let alone standing in the middle of the schoolchildren who were only up to his shoulders. Although his face was expressionless, his brown eyes revealed a gentleness and clarity that penetrated people's hearts.

In normal times, such a person Nao is happy to approach, because he has a pair of eyes that are not impurified. But at this time, Nao felt that his existence was very unsightly, especially after seeing Natsu, who had always been as timid as a little rabbit, smile at him with a bright smile comparable to the sun. But it wasn't the point of who Natsu was smiling at, the point was that she hadn't seen Natsu smile like that to someone since she could remember.

"That's why I joined the tennis club......

Nao's eyes narrowed and he smiled a little self-deprecatingly, and at the same time there was a huge sense of unease and self-blame in his heart.

Although Natsu is very well-behaved, she knows that her sister is an extremely insecure child.

The early death of the father and the departure of the mother have left a deep shadow on the child's psychology. Only when she is by her own side will she show such a heartfelt smile.

And now, her sister, for the sake of someone who can make her smile, give up the violin practice for four years?

Just because she's a sister, can't she give her a sense of security?

As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't sit down any longer, and suddenly got up from her seat.

"-Saotome Natsu, come here!"
