Chapter 14: Confession

"Free tomorrow?" Tezuka took out his mobile phone, edited a message, and sent it out.

Rico was typing on the keyboard in the classroom as usual. The phone screen lit up "Free tomorrow?" ”

"You call me earlier, don't knock on my door when you come to my house, and call my mobile phone." Rico edited a message to go back in time.

"Good!" Tezuka's mood relaxed.

After the training, Tezuka went to the classroom as usual, "It seems that I don't have to pick up my sister again." Ryoma saw this scene, "It's not very convenient to go to my sister in the future." With that, he went back with the team.

"Anyway, Tezuka now goes to the classroom every time he finishes training, is there any homework he hasn't written?" Dashi reacted half a beat slower.

"Dashi, he wouldn't have gone out of his way to run the classroom before." Kikumaru wondered;

"It's really interesting." Fuji Shusuke inquired: "Let's go, why didn't Ryoma go to your sister today." ”

"Cut, my sister has someone to pick up, and I can only go with a light bulb when I go again." Ryoma said arrogantly; "Let's go back!" Carrying a tennis bag on his back, he walked out.

In the classroom, Tezuka helped clean up Rico's desk, carried a computer bag, and went out of the school gate together, taking the bus home: "I turned down the opportunity to study abroad, and now the most important thing is to take them to the national competition." ”

"I knew that you were this kind of character, and there were so many opportunities to study abroad, so I didn't care about this time." Rico was a little sleepy, and couldn't help but lean against the pillar next to her: "How are things handled in Taocheng?" ”

"He's back in the tennis club." Tezuka said:

"I found that you've been talking to me a lot lately, and you're not more rigorous than yours?" Rico teased sleepily;

"Look, you're almost asleep, and your shoulder is squinting for a while." Tezuka's eyes gradually became doting.

Tezuka's voice at this time was like a sleepy worm in Rico's head, and he was seduced by him to lean on his shoulder and fall asleep.

suddenly realized that the eyes were wrong, and quickly retracted them; "If this is seen by them, it will probably be a joke for a long time." Tezuka slandered in his heart; "How come the longer I have been in contact with you, the more I can't control myself, and sure enough, my mother's chatter is like a spell."

About half an hour later, Tezuka woke up Rico, "It's coming, go home and sleep." ”

Rico hazy: "Oh, good! "I got out of the car with Tezuka." You'll have to call me early tomorrow, or I'll probably not wake up before you've cleaned up and called me. Then he smirked at Tezuka.

Tezuka looked at her like this, and couldn't help laughing: "Usually such a strong person, but the contrast is so big in private, I don't know how I will feel when someone knows about it." Grabbing Rico's arm, "I'll send you back." ”

After Tezuka sent Rico home, he turned around and walked for a while before entering the house.

"My son's face has been changing lately, and he has to get up early tomorrow to watch the sunrise, and his life is starting to be colorful." Ayana Tezuka sat on a chair at the dining table and began to tease: "I have prepared all the equipment for fishing, and I am short of fish ears, so you can get up early tomorrow morning and dig it yourself." ”

"Mom, you are thinking about your best friend's daughter, and I feel that my son is really raised by an outsider." Tezuka is usually used to being rigorous, but now it's a little tasteful.

"Hahahaha." Tezuka Kuniharu smiled when she heard this: "You still have to eat it, Kunimitsu, your mother is worried that you won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law by then, and I'm afraid that even the daughter-in-law who has been set since childhood will ignore you." As he spoke, he took a sip of his teacup, "The Chinese tea you introduced is really good, bring me some when I go another day." ”

Tezuka almost rolled his eyes, walked from the living room to the room, there was a jar of grandpa's pickled plums on the table, and remembered the gluttony of Rico when she smelled the plums that day, and her mood suddenly improved, and then she took a copy of Desperate City on the bookshelf and looked at it.

Early the next morning, when it was dark, Tezuka was digging fish ears in the backyard, and her mother came out: "Hehe, the date is fun, don't waste the lunch I prepared, if I let me know that you are bullying her, I will ask my father to beat you." Suddenly, Tezuka Ayana felt two green lights flash behind her, and it turned out to be a retired grandfather who woke up: "Don't listen to your mother, it's fun, anyway, you have a driver's license, drive the car to relax." ”

"Okay." Tezuka responded, and then concentrated on digging the earthworms, muttering, "How did they know that tomorrow I want to ask Rico to watch the sunrise." "A depressed face.

"Knowing the son Mo Ruomu. Hahaha! Caina smiled softly, the good wife and mother probably said that she was like this.

After digging a lot of bait, I put it in the trunk of the car, and then found the fishing rod and lunch box that my mother had prepared earlier, put it in the trunk together, checked that there was nothing missing, and fled the house as if I was being chased from behind.

Rico was waiting outside Echizen's house early in the morning, a car came, stopped, Tezuka beckoned her to get in the car, started the car and drove towards her destination.

"Why don't you go back to sleep?" Tezuka glanced over and saw Rico rubbing her eyes.

"No, I'll be awake in a while."

"Have you ever seen the sunrise before?" Tezuka began to look for a topic.

"The year after my parents died, I was wandering, and I was often driven around, and someone cleared the field before dawn, and I didn't have the time to watch the sunrise, and then I went to the orphanage, and often snatched food with children as big as me, fortunately, this day passed less than half a year, I, Haima Lairen, Haima Guiping was taken in by the chaebol who had no heirs, and then began to study hard all the way to be spurred on, every day for how not to be punished desperately learning, and then was found by Ryoma's father, after a month of negotiation, I was allowed to stay at their house half-boarding, and that was when I started playing tennis, which was my happiest time. Rico seemed to be telling someone else's story, and her voice was faint.

Suddenly something came to me: "Don't talk about bad things, if you really have the leisure to watch the sunrise, today is really the first time." ”

"What happened to that chaebol in the end!" Tezuka listened to her a little strangely, "That's it, Riko won't have the surname Echizen anymore." Puzzled;

"A competitor designed an accident for him, and he couldn't master the company. Then Seto Kaiba took over, and I've been helping to expand the business. ”

Rico suddenly guessed something: "You want to ask, did he die by us?" Of course, for more than a year by his side, Gui Ping is the target of beatings every day, and he is the most beloved brother of me and Brother Haima. Rico instantly smiled bitterly: "Don't you think I'm terrible?" ”

"That's the only way for children in adversity to grab in order to stay alive. He deserved it. Tezuka said, his heart rolling, "Compared to her, it seems that every member of the tennis club is living happily." ”

Tezuka suddenly thought of her mother's sad words: "Rico is a very good child, but she has suffered too much, you can chase her to take care of her, and it can be regarded as an explanation from me to her mother, even if you two don't look at each other, what will happen to her in the future, you worry more about it." ”

"It's almost there, we'll pull over and we'll climb up." Tezuka shifts the subject;

"Good! I haven't climbed a mountain for a long time, and I'll have to take off the weight of my wrists and ankles or I'll get hurt. Rico said lightly;

"Good! Mother's breakfast is in the trunk, and when you remind me, I have to take it when I climb up. Tezuka said calmly.

Rico was stunned; "We came out today, and my aunt knows."

"Knowing the son Mo Ruomu, how can there be anyone who doesn't know, don't have a burden." Tezuka was relieved, and after a while, he parked the car; "Remember to unload the load."

Then I got out of the car and went to the back to wring the lunch box, and when I saw Rico coming down, "Let's go, if it's too late, we can only watch the sunrise halfway up the mountain." ”

Tezuka led the way in front with a lunch box and water, Rico climbed the steps in the back, walked up step by step, took a break to drink saliva from time to time, and then continued to walk up, Riko was very brisk after unloading the load, and the two arrived at the top of the mountain after a while, and found a place to lay out the picnic mat prepared by her mother, and sat on one side, with the lunch box in the middle.

While chatting about the sky, while waiting for the sunrise;

A pale red appeared on the horizon, and after a while, the pale red deepened, and the area grew larger and larger, illuminating the adjacent clouds as well. Rico exclaimed, "Is this the sunrise?" ”

At this moment, the eastern sky turned red, and at the easternmost end of the overlapping peaks, it was the most intense and bright, as if a fire was burning and spreading.

"It's so beautiful! I'm going to come and see the sunrise myself. Rico couldn't help but marvel; Ah, it's so beautiful! ”

In that moment, the red silk curtain opened a corner, and an arc of the sun appeared, and it rose with great effort, becoming a semicircle, like red-hot iron that had just been brought out of an iron furnace, and with a strong light, it tore the red silk tabernacle around it to pieces.

"It's okay, you can tell me when you want to come later." Tezuka's eyes were stimulated by the bright light, and he felt a slight pain, and the semicircle kept rising, becoming more and more round, like a fireball beating in the sky, and finally broke free from the ground.

Rico was a little confused: "Why are you so good to me!" ”

"You deserve it!" Tezuka confirmed his intentions, "I like your laughter, I like your decisiveness, I like your shrewd little calculations, every point is engraved in my heart, the front is difficult, no matter what, I want to accompany you." ”

"Ha, the 10,000-year-old iceberg has melted?" I wanted to make fun of a few words, but I was a little embarrassed by these words.

"It's good that you keep going, we always have a common intersection." Feeling that Rico wanted to refuse, Tezuka said solemnly.
