"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Her eyes widened in surprise, staring at Tezuka's face full of expressions such as "This is a serious building", and after a moment, she made a deflated expression and muttered in a low voice: "Eh, Tezuka-kun is serious...... Are you training me as a member of the Youth Academy......

Although her voice was low, it was not so low that Tezuka couldn't hear Cheng Dù - not to mention that she had intended for him to hear it. These two subtle words, which seemed to be complaining and seemed to be a little funny, made him slightly stunned, and then he made a decisive decision.

"You can run with me today. ”

He's here to practice anyway, and running ten laps around the playground — or around the block where the tennis court is located — is part of his training plan.

And he also thinks that supervising her by the way is not a big deal, especially this girl's attitude is actually very admirable, not everyone can treat tennis with the insistence of ignoring the doctor's final verdict and tenaciously wanting to do something to change the status quo and pursue dreams.

What's more, she didn't face him with any uncomfortable attitude, expression, or eyes at all from beginning to end, but was generous and frank, and sometimes she was able to face difficulties with a relaxed attitude, and she was indeed a guy worthy of serious guidance.

After doing the warm-up exercise, he glanced at Liu Quan, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear, that is, "You can run with me now."

Liu Quan was a little silent for a while.

...... The former minister of Seigaku, who is really an unusually responsible person - even her troubles that she actually mentions casually have to help solve them with a serious attitude, no wonder Uncle Jibu constantly emphasizes this quality of Tezuka to her, so as to set off how unreliable she is (Great Fog!).

It was just such a hesitation, and seeing that Tezuka had already taken a step and started jogging, Liu Quan hurriedly dropped the towel in his hand and followed closely.

Thankfully, the neighborhood's homes are well connected by roads, and Tezuka doesn't seem to have adopted the strategy of running around the outermost main road, opting for several interconnected paths - which greatly reduces their running range.

After nearly two months of training, I have to say that Liu Quan thinks that his physical fitness has improved greatly, and he has not been tired on the street after running at least three laps. And there is also the leisure to pay attention to the subtle details of what happened on the fourth lap -

Tezuka, who was running a few paces ahead of her, took the wrong course at a turn in the street, one less street than the previous three laps—in other words, he turned on a path parallel to the previous one.

Liu Quan, who was following him, had always been proud of her ability to remember the way, and of course this delicate little detail did not escape her eyes, and she opened her mouth in an instant, but after thinking about it, she resisted the urge to remind Tezuka, and continued to run after him in silence.

On the fifth lap, Tezuka seemed to be back to normal, and he didn't run the wrong course.

On lap 6 he almost made a similar mistake at another street crossing, but he noticed and corrected it in time - the two of them actually formed an S-shape on the course they ran at that street and ran a few steps in the wrong direction before coming back around.

Liu Quan felt that something was wrong, and the feeling that something was wrong was even stronger.

Not so much because of Tezuka's unusual silence along the way—in fact, Yanagizumi felt that he should be painting this way—but that there was always a somewhat dissonant, gloomy and compelling feeling around him, like a silent mountain obscured by dark clouds before a rainstorm fell.

...... But where did that cloud come from?!

Speaking of which...... It's not a big deal to be distracted while running, is it? The question is -- what is it that a former head of the Youth School Tennis Tournament, who has always been calm and reliable, would make a mistake for him?

By the time she reached lap seven, panting, she felt that her fitness had reached a critical point - if she didn't stop, the next second, her legs, which were as heavy as lead, might not be able to lift themselves again, and she would trip somewhere.

Liu Quan decided that it was time to throw out the question that had been bothering her for a long time. By the way, maybe a little respite?

The former minister of Qingxue is really a person who is strict and selfless to the extreme. Not only are male and female players required to be treated equally in his eyes, but even a half-tennis player like her, who has been judged by a doctor to be "unable to continue playing", must be treated the same as him, a professional male player.

Looking at Tezuka's relaxed appearance running in front of him, still breathing undisturbed, compared to the bad image of himself following behind him, already panting like an old dog, and completely losing all the necessary conditions for Mary Sue, there are already 10,000 alpacas galloping across the grassland in Liu Quan's heart!

"Hey...... Happens...... What's the matter, Tezuka-kun?"

Liu Quan gasped and almost couldn't finish his words.

Hearing this kind of question behind him, Tezuka's footsteps froze slightly. But he didn't look back.

...... So there's definitely something wrong with this reaction!

Liu Quan simply broke the can, mustered up the last bit of strength, jumped forward with both feet, and fell to the ground with a bang.

And then it was like nailing there, refusing to move any more.

So, so I said...... Sure enough, something must have happened, Tezuka-kun!"

She pressed one hand on the painful part of her abdomen because of the split breath, and while panting, she repeated the question in the affirmative. This time, the uncertainty in his tone was gone.

Having noticed that she had stopped and refused to run again—the snapping of her feet on the ground was too loud for him to ignore—Tezuka, who had already stopped a few paces in front of her with a little bewilderment and anger (?), and kept trotting in place and turned to stare at her, as if to seriously admonish her for such lazy behavior.

But now that he heard her relentlessly ask the same question a second time, he was stunned, and seemed to want to reflexively shake his head in denial. But the next moment, he seemed to change his mind in front of her indomitable (?), stopped, and said in a deep voice: "...... Don't you even watch the news? ”

This sentence is equivalent to giving a "yes" answer, and Liu Quan's eyes widened for a moment in surprise.

Originally, it was just because I felt that the system bacteria were too blessed, so I actually gave myself more than half a month to calmly brush up on friendship, but when I calmed down and thought about it carefully, I felt that this matter was a bit strange.

It's the middle of the season in full swing, and Tezuka actually has a three-week gap between himself as a professional player, which is a very strange thing in itself - if it weren't for the fact that Ryuzumi thinks that this matter should have nothing to do with the original Nobuya girl, she would almost think that this is also one of the black holes left by the "purification" process.

"Ah...... I'm sorry! I haven't had time to pay attention to current affairs and news in the past few months, except for studying and training. After answering casually, she immediately realized that the most important thing she should do now was to hurry up and watch the news on the Internet, so she hurriedly straightened up and took out her mobile phone from her pocket.

Before she could go to Yahoo or any other website, she just glanced at the interface of the lock screen, and she already saw that it displayed an automatic push message of "Today's number one news", with a sensational headline, which was actually "Tezuka Kunimitsu officially announced his withdrawal from the entire grass court season due to injury, and it is still doubtful whether he can play in the hard court season"!

After reading it, the first thought that came to her dazed mind was a ridiculous feeling like this: "Ah, didn't he say that he came back to China to compete, when did Japan also have an invitational tournament on the grass court?"

It was only then that the initial sense of unreality faded from consciousness, and the realization that the news could not be more true could not be more true, thus deepening the sense of absurdity.

Liu Quan was stunned.
