Chapter Twenty-Three: The Gift of Thanksgiving

——

Uesugi family

"Three days later, at nine o'clock in the morning, the tennis court at the bottom of the viaduct, don't be late!" Lying on the bed, Eiko's mind was full of thoughts about the words that had just whispered in her ear at the sushi restaurant Echizen.

"Ah, how could I just nod my head in a daze!" Eiko clutched her head in her pillow in frustration, grumbling.

A few hours ago.

Eri sat in the sushi restaurant and found that not only were she very good at eating, but all the guys in Qingxue were like opening a plug-in, struggling plate after plate, and the most important thing was that they not only ate up their own plates, but also beat the idea of other people's pockets.

In order to prevent the food on her plate from falling into the mouths of others, she buried her head in eating.

"Do you remember what I said the day before yesterday?" A word rings in my ears.

Echizen whispered in a low voice that could only be heard by two people.

"Huh? What..."Ei Fox spit out words as she ate, and she was also a little puzzled.

Did you say anything the day before yesterday?

Echizen looked at the painted fox beside him for a long time, and added "Forget?" I say grateful."

Hearing this, Eki was stunned, and his mind returned to the day before yesterday, vaguely remembering that he seemed to have said a word.

It seems to be the one against Yulin

After a while, Eiko blinked.

"I remember, you said that you want to fight me after the division preliminaries, as a gratitude!"

Echizen glanced at Ekomi, saw that she had already remembered what she had said, and said, "Three days later, at nine o'clock in the morning, the tennis court at the bottom of the viaduct, don't be late!" The hoarse voice with a hint of low and thick came from the ear of the painted fox, so that her body on the side couldn't help but be for a while, Mu Ne nodded her head, I don't know if it was because of the influence of his voice, but the ghost animal agreed.

Afterwards, Ei Fox regretted lying on the bed and complaining.

……

Three days later

Inside the tennis court under the viaduct.

When Ezumi arrives at the tennis court, she finds that Echizen Ryoma is already waiting for her arrival in the middle of the court with a tennis racket, and the injury she suffered a few days ago has long been ligated and falling, and it is no longer noticeable.

What a quick recovery!

After seeing her appear, he slowly spat out, "Are you a tortoise?" So slow."

Eki glanced at the watch she was carrying, which showed nine o'clock, and pouted, "Big brother, I'm here on time at nine o'clock, not too early or too late." ”

"Aren't you going to play? Let's go! ”

Ei hummed, put down her tennis bag, took out her blue racket from it, and walked out to the court.

"Hit with your right hand!"

Just listen to the words that come out of his mouth

It's right-handed again, and he likes to tell me to play with my right hand.

"You don't know the situation of my right hand!" Ei pouted and shouted at him.

Echizen Mo then spoke again, "I know...", and before he finished speaking, he paused and added

"It's okay if you lose"

The fox looked at him, sighed deeply after a long time, reached out and curled his slender curls slightly, and held the racket tremblingly in his right hand.

"Relax and don't be nervous"

Eiko nodded, waiting for his serve.

Echizen glanced at Ekomi, threw the ball upward, and an out-spin serve came out of his hand.

Ei looked at the oncoming serve and complained silently

"It's so ruthless as soon as it comes up..."

I just wanted to raise my hand to catch it, but my right hand was affected by my slight tremor before it touched the ball, and the racket fell to the ground.

Echizen frowned when he saw this, "Come again"

Eiko gritted his teeth, picked up the racket on the ground, and saw him take another tennis ball out of his trouser pocket and serve himself with an outspin shot as before.

Try to hit back with your right hand again.

However, it didn't work out, and the racket still fell to the ground.

"Come again!"

Echizen asks Etoko to pick up the racket again and confront him.

However, this time it was no longer an outspin serve, but a normal shot.

Ei took a deep breath and waved back.

"Bump"

A shot came from the racket, and the ball flew towards Echizen and landed out of bounds.

Looking at the tennis ball lying out of bounds, tears welled up in Eiko's eyes.

"Why is this still the case..."

I lowered my head and began to lose myself.

But after a while, Echizen's hearty voice came from the other side.

"Well done, keep going"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Eiko looked up at Echizen

Is he praising me?

"Continue"

After a while, he sent the same serve again, and Eiko slowly went from hitting the return ball to the outside of bounds, and finally hit the ball in bounds with her unremitting efforts.

"I..."Eiko looked at the return ball lying in Echizen's boundary in surprise, and looked at him excitedly.

"Come again!" This time, those two words came out of Eiko's mouth.

……

For several hours, Echizen and Echizen had been hitting the ball back and forth in the court, and finally gradually broke through their psychological level.

Echizen Ryoma: He's really powerful, and he's above himself in terms of reflexes, strength, and speed.

In the past few hours, the fox has praised him hundreds of times.

After a long time

Echizen stopped what he was doing, "That's it for today." ”

Hearing this, the girl lowered her eyes and nodded, and slowly walked in front of the young man.

Although the ending can be imagined, Eiko didn't get a cent from him.

"I... Isn't it useless? Eiko lowered her head and looked at the racket she held in her right hand, and murmured weakly.

A pair of strong, strong and warm hands embraced her into a warm embrace.

The blazing palm attached to her head, caressing it gently.

"No, you're great," the hoarse voice echoed softly and gently in the girl's ears.

Then he withdrew her from his embrace, took the girl's right hand that was holding the racket, and said slowly.

"It doesn't tremble anymore"

Eiko looked at the right hand held in Echizen's hand, and saw that it was not trembling as before, and her eyes were already filled with tears, and she couldn't help but fall quietly from her cheeks.

"Thank you, Echizen Ryoma received the gift of gratitude!"
