"I used to ...... I've always been very resentful of one thing. ”

...... I remember that in the real world, there was also a girl in the same school who liked to play tennis, every summer, when everyone wore sleeveless T small suspenders, only she hated to have five sleeves all day, and the sauna day was still the same. Liu Quan thought she wasn't afraid of the heat at the time, but later I heard that it was because of another reason-

"Because of playing tennis, my arms have become thicker...... You know, the arm muscles are exercised regularly. She shook her right arm, patted her right upper arm with her left hand, and continued casually.

"So every summer, I see that everyone in other girls can wear sleeveless clothes, which looks very cute, but I can only try to wear clothes with longer sleeves to cover up...... I can't help but feel very troubled. ”

Shiraishi's eyes widened, with an expression of "Ah, why is the girl so troublesome, I never thought about this kind of thing, and what is there to care about this kind of thing".

Willow Quan shrugged and smiled nonchalantly.

“...... Later, I gradually got used to it, but maybe I have been minding it for too long, and although I don't play tennis anymore, I still care about the arm. ”

"I've watched a lot of videos of Shiraishi-kun's fights, maybe because of his paranoid attributes, always trying to find a small chance to beat you from your matches...... Finally, one day, when I was staring at the screen in front of me in a daze, a strange doubt suddenly appeared in my mind. ”

"I noticed that Shiraishi-kun's left arm seemed to be thicker than his right arm...... At first, I thought it was because your left hand is your dominant hand, so it's more muscular. ”

Shiraishi seemed to suddenly feel a little embarrassed, and his face flushed slightly. He moved his left arm, which was still bandaged, uncomfortably, as if for a moment he wanted to hide it behind him, to avoid Willow Spring's gaze on that arm.

Liu Quan pretended not to see the unnatural reaction of the innocent boy.

However, the more I looked at it, the more strange it became...... If that's all there is to it," she said, comparing her right hand closer to her elbow than her left arm, "the line here shouldn't be like this, or should it be thinner......

Shiraishi coughed, and his face seemed to turn even redder.

Liu Quan put down his hand casually and continued, "So I guess you have something hiding under the bandage...... Sorry, I didn't think it was a golden arm guard at first, and I thought it was some kind of tool used to cheat. ”

"Although I hate the last match between us, I don't want Shiraishi-kun to really lose the opportunity to play tennis forever because of this. At the end of the day, the choice to save the ball was made by me...... Although it was a whimsical idea to save a man who was strong enough to win the first team of the national team and go straight to the absolute corner – or the famous 'round table volley' – it was a whimsical ......."

She showed an extraordinarily frank smile, but there was also a hint of malice in that smile, which made Bai Shi, who received both at the same time, show an expression of inability to complain for a moment.

"Thinking, 'It's not too much to punish that guy a little,' I hired a private investigator to find out what kind of secret was hidden in the place I was puzzled about. ”

"Then I quickly heard that during the U-17 training camp, Shiraishi-kun and Tatsumi Daikihara played in the doubles match...... As long as there are people watching from the sidelines, there must be loopholes to exploit. So I got the answer quite smoothly...... But at the beginning, I just wanted Shiraishi-kun to make a big fool in public......"

Liu Quan sneered, and with [Reminiscences of the Past of Paranoia Snake Essence Disease], the painting style of the narrative tilted slightly in the direction of the sick and delicate.

"But once the lid of the secret is lifted, it's like opening Pandora's box, and what will happen next, even I can't fully control the direction of the development of the situation——"

Liu Quan naturally washed the old Shinya sauce white, and then laughed as if he didn't want to mention the bad past, a little self-deprecating.

"So...... After all, I'm really a dark person. Take your anger on Shiraishi-kun or ...... for his life that has failed so far Anyone else, it's my fault. ”

"No one is to blame for my own failed life. I'm just evasive and cowardly when I'm angry with others. ”

"For that, I'm here today to apologize to you. ”

She raised her eyes and looked directly at the handsome young man with white chestnut hair in front of her.

"I'm sorry, Shiraishi-kun. ”

Shiraishi's eyes widened widely, staring at Liu Quan's face. His mouth was slightly open, and his face was full of stunned and disbelievable expressions.

Liu Quan couldn't help but tease.

“...... But I really want to stuff a tennis ball into your gaping mouth. - Hey, after all, playing a practice match with a girl casually showed 120% of his strength, and he also used the highest stunt...... That's, isn't it? Could it be that if I win the battle, I will be able to enter the U-17 army, so it is a little too easy to say. ”

Shiraishi was silent for a few more seconds. And then—

"Poof. ”

The young man chuckled softly. The smile was set on his already sunny and handsome face, making it look like it was sparkling.

"What a woman with a dark psychology. The white, chestnut-haired youth laughed loudly, as if he didn't mind Liu Quan's casual speech and mocking words just now.

Liu Quan felt that as a paranoid + snake spirit, he should flip the table at this time anyway.

"Hey ——!"

But before she threw out Mary Sue's lines very coolly, Shiraishi followed up on the next line of dialogue.

“...... But it's a very brave word. ”

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, and the lines of snake spirit disease that had almost been thought of by random suddenly disappeared from his mouth.

"Huh?!"

Shiraishi smiled, his gaze falling on her face, his gaze clear and frank.

"It's a hero's speech, huh?"

In the face of such a perfect warm man's warm lines, the corners of Liu Quan's mouth, who had to go dark and paranoid, twitched, and he didn't make up his mind for a while what kind of expression should be the most suitable.

However, Shiraishi probably didn't expect a more exciting reaction from her. He continued to carry forward the so-called [Kansai man's frankness] painting style, and said bluntly:

"I don't understand why you suddenly want to forgive me, but from my side's standpoint, there's really nothing better than this. ”

His clear voice echoed through the afternoon boulevard.

"At that time, I felt that even if you were a female player, you were a rare and respectable opponent...... Therefore, in the battle, I unconsciously used the 'round table volley', and I also wanted to play my best to show respect for my opponent......"

At this point he seemed to pause, but he continued with courage.

"And then that happened...... It's definitely something I couldn't have imagined beforehand. If I had known that something like that was going to happen in the first place, even if it would have made you think I was a terrible, rude opponent, I would never have used that move again-"

Liu Quan suddenly coughed loudly and interrupted him.

"Oh, come on. Or is it true that only the bandage is your true being?!, or is your brain actually stuffed with bandages?"

She rolled her eyes lightly, and with her [from the sick ginseng] skill and painting style, she said unceremoniously, "I didn't play against you for a false victory." I don't need to use this kind of thing to build up my self-confidence. So if you give it your all, there's nothing wrong with that. Those bad things, since I can't kill you as revenge, then just forget about it and don't think about it. Got it?"

Shiraishi looked at her face that was still paranoid + sick and delicate left and right, and after a pause, his face suddenly turned straight.

"Liu Quan-kun," he called out to her in a very stern tone, standing upright, and then suddenly bowing deeply to her.

"One qiē all...... I'm so sorry!"

...... endured to be idle and bent to his knees, he is really a perfect warm man with super high emotional intelligence but no mountain dew at all, Bai Shijun.

Looking at the white-chestnut-haired young man in front of him with his waist bent to ninety degrees, Liu Quan's mind flashed with such thoughts for a moment.

Adhering to the idea that "screenwriters who don't play old stalks are not good players", Liu Quan simply came up with a traditional (?) line that can't be older.

"Alright, alright. If the apology is useful, do you want the police to do it?!" She made a sickly impatient gesture, walked up and simply slapped her palm neatly, and slapped Shiraishi on the back with a bang - and Shiraishi's posture of bending at 90 degrees at this moment really couldn't be more convenient for the enemy to attack!

Shiraishi was caught off guard, and burst into a cough when she slapped her palm that didn't retain any strength at all.

He finally overcame the pain from his back, straightened up, and saw the back of the girl striding forward, and she had walked several meters away. As if sensing that his coughing behind her had disappeared, she did not stop, but put her right hand behind her head and shook it gently at him in a chic manner.

"At the end of the day, I feel like I'm having a fight with Osaka. So next time we have a chance to meet, I'm sure it's in Tokyo. ”

There was a light mockery and a faint smile in her voice, and her steps and tone were brisk.

"Goodbye, then, Shiraishi-kun. ”
