Chapter 91 Chapter 91 Graduation
Chapter 91
The Yukimura family and Xiangcheng and the other two spent a few days of leisure time in Melbourne.
Yukimura Seiichi adjusted his training schedule so that he could move freely after 4 p.m.
What amused him was that Xiangcheng, who had only trained with him for two days, suddenly became fascinated with diving. In the few days before leaving, she signed up for a training class by herself and was able to study from morning to night.
Xiao Xia followed her parents to look for kangaroos, koalas and various large parrots, often in places with no signal.
It seems that only Sanada and Yanagi came here specifically for him.
It’s a bit sad to think about it.
Although they both seemed to be here for training.
After he finished his training, the three of them skillfully boarded the bus to the beach not far away.
Then they headed straight for the diving base. The staff smiled knowingly at them and said in English, "That lady hasn't finished her course yet."
"Okay, thank you," Yukimura said with a smile, "We'll wait here for a while."
"Okay, you can sit down and call me anytime if you need anything to drink."
There are many beach lounge chairs like this on the beach. People feel like they have no bones when they sit on them.
Genichirō Sanada, who always set high standards for himself, was still very uncomfortable. He still tried to sit upright on it, but was supported by the soft fabric and gradually slipped down.
Yukimura Seiichi and Yanagi Renji even made a secret bet about when he would be able to lie down on them.
After struggling several times, Sanada Xuanichiro finally compromised and lay down slightly stiffly.
"Too lax!" Imitating his tone, Xiangcheng appeared from nowhere and shouted behind Sanada.
Genichirō Sanada sat up immediately, but because he stood up too quickly, he couldn't find a foothold and lay back down stiffly.
Xiangcheng laughed lightly and happily.
Genichirō Sanada...finally accepted his fate and completely relaxed himself.
Yuihara Kaoru is becoming more and more similar to the evil-minded Yukimura Seiichi.
Yukimura Seiichi also looked up at Xiangcheng with a smile. She didn't apply sunscreen seriously and she was several shades darker than when she first arrived. There were also marks on her face from wearing the equipment.
"How are you feeling today?"
Xiang Cheng's expression brightened when she mentioned this: "We're almost getting close to the coral reef today!"
"That's great." Yukimura Seiichi turned his palm upwards and watched her consciously put her hand over his. "Do you want to continue learning this in the future?"
"I don't think so," Xiangcheng looked out to sea, "I just want to master a new skill, that's all."
"But after winning the championship, I do feel like I've lost my focus a bit," Xiangcheng reflected on her recent state. "Although I feel a sense of relief I've never felt before, as if I've accomplished something, but..."
After defeating Santa Maria, the next opponent is Chunshi again.
Facing each other again, they smiled at each other, but their attacks became even more swift.
All members participated in every ball competition and gave their all in every round.
Victory does favor the challenger.
When the cheers from all over the sky came, Xiangcheng even felt a little unreal.
Did it seem a little too smooth? Or perhaps it was as if their silent efforts over the past two years had finally reaped the greatest recognition.
But no matter what, she looked at Chunshi's coaching seat where the team flag was placed. She had fulfilled the agreement with her grandfather with all her heart.
He just declined many invitations from clubs and trials with the national team.
She has the free will to do more of what she wants.
Being an athlete is great, but...
Xiangcheng turned back to Yukimura and said, "It's also good to be someone who helps athletes!"
Yukimura Seiichi's smile is sincere and touching.
"Then do your best!"
"I will!"
…
"Now, please allow the outstanding graduate representative Yanagi Renji to speak."
Yanagi Renji was tall and slender, and his expression was calm as always. When he walked past the school leaders, he bowed to them as a sign of respect. Then he slowly walked onto the stage, scanned the audience with a calm gaze, and began his speech.
"The three years at Rikkai University High School will be the best three years in the minds of all of us graduates."
His voice has a slight ups and downs, which easily makes people quiet down and want to listen to him continue.
Many girls chose to wear their most beautiful kimonos on this day and take photos under the cherry blossom trees on campus.
Xiangcheng was mixed in with them, but she was still wearing her school uniform.
She seemed a little nostalgic, as this was the last day she could wear her high school uniform.
This navy blue Western-style uniform and pleated skirt officially accompanied her for three years. As she listened to Yanagi Renji's ups and downs in tone, she looked through him and at the teaching building behind him.
What was her mood when she first walked into this building?
It seems... I don’t have any expectations for the future life, I just think that the rooftop can see the sea and the scenery is pretty good.
But from the first day she officially joined, her life has been wonderful and not a single day has been wasted.
Before she knew it, she had a group of good friends, and before she knew it, she found the most special one among these good friends.
The only regret they might have is that the person did not graduate with them as promised.
Kaoru, who was in a daze, was patted by Rika next to her. After seeing her turn around, Rika whispered, "Will Yukimura come today?"
"Probably not," Xiangcheng shook his head. "Nowadays, if he goes out privately, he's surrounded by fans, so he probably won't run around."
Rika nodded in understanding: "That's true, he and that Tezuka-kun are both very popular now."
Two months ago, Seiichi Yukimura and Kunimitsu Tezuka, who participated in the Australian Open for the first time, both performed well in the competition and advanced to the top 16 like dark horses.
From then on, the foreign media's praises were blown into China again, and the popularity of the two young, handsome and powerful people immediately surpassed the supernova idols who debuted at the beginning of the year.
Oh yes, that idol’s name is Wakato Hiroshi.
The world is so wonderful.
The private lives of the two were also extensively excavated. Unlike Tezuka Kunimitsu, who went to Germany in junior high school, Yukimura Seiichi's life traces were more obvious.
Especially since he has a girlfriend who is well known to everyone in Rikkai.
When fully armed reporters and paparazzi appeared at the door for the first time, Xiangcheng was frightened - anyone who wakes up in the morning, still half asleep, and is looking for a cat in the yard in pajamas, would be scared if they suddenly found a few people standing on the wall!
She picked up the cat and rushed into the house. When Jieyuan's father heard this, he immediately asked everyone to draw the curtains and called the police.
Xiangcheng quickly told Yukimura about this, and Yukimura Seiichi's newly appointed agent, Mr. Smith, immediately started his work remotely.
Within a few hours, the misunderstanding was properly resolved.
"You must be scared," Yukimura called, sounding very apologetic. "I'm sorry, I didn't think about this in advance."
"It's not your fault," Xiangcheng reassured him, "and they've already deleted the footage they took. It wouldn't matter if it was a better-looking one, but the main thing is... it was a bit too ugly back then."
Yukimura still clenched his fingers on this end, but his tone softened: "This kind of thing will never happen again."
Soon, the Instagram app registered and certified by Yukimura Seiichi released the first update: Thank you for your attention. Except for the game, please do not disturb my family and girlfriend. Thank you very much!
Well, it’s very domineering.
Some of my friends are still worried that Yukimura's statement will affect his popularity.
On the contrary, Xiangcheng thought very clearly - in competitive sports, strength comes first, and other people's gossip will not affect Yukimura's performance on the field.
Moreover, by doing this, he is also protecting them while avoiding some risks in advance.
"It's all because he's good-looking. If he were uglier, this wouldn't happen."
Li Xiang questioned: "Would you like someone who is ugly?"
...It's really irrefutable.
Who isn’t obsessed with looks?
Yanagi Renji's speech had come to an end: "Looking back on the past three years, there have been joys and regrets, but I firmly believe that beauty will last forever, and regrets will eventually fade away."
"Finally, I sincerely wish Rikkai University to stand forever shining on the shores of Kanagawa. I wish the faculty members success in their careers, and I also wish the younger students to continue their hard work and achieve greater success. I also wish all of our classmates a bright future, always striving to become and be themselves."
There was prolonged applause, punctuated by a few sobs of reluctance.
After the graduation ceremony, they had some time all to themselves to say goodbye to their teachers, friends and fellow students.
And every year, under the cherry trees, there are always many students who take advantage of this last moment of their youth to express their feelings completely.
Xiangcheng walked alone on the road from the volleyball hall to the tennis court. After thinking for a while, she walked into the empty volleyball hall.
Opposite the door was a huge photo of them winning the championship for two consecutive years. Each time, she was surrounded in the middle, with a standard, awkward and polite smile.
I will still love you as much as ever.
Xiangcheng took out his phone and adjusted the angle for a long time before finally taking a complete photo of himself and the volleyball hall.
OK, check-in point one completed successfully.
Walking out the door, Xiangcheng, who was always the last one to finish training, did the action he had repeated hundreds of times and locked the door skillfully.
Stepping onto this road again, you can see the tree beside the tennis court road at a glance.
Once upon a time, there was always someone standing there waiting for her.
I really miss it.
Rika always suspected that Yukimura was just trying to get her and then leave immediately. In this case, she should find eight boyfriends to piss off Yukimura - when did Yukimura hear this joke and not want to crawl into the ground?
But before he left, he was already very sure that nothing would change their hearts.
Walking to this place and looking at the tennis courts, the iron nets are covered with many posters of Yukimura, some of his daily life and some of his competitions. Many talented children join this club and dream of becoming a professional world-class player like him.
So the legend of the Rikkai University tennis club will continue.
"Excuse me, classmate, are you waiting for someone?"
Xiangcheng suddenly smiled.
