Fortunately, Jingguang had already changed his clothes.

Otherwise, he would not know how distressed he would be when he saw the bruises on the clothes and the body covered by the clothes.

but,

Look at his relaxed brows and the smile on his lips.

Atobe Keigo knew that the problem that had been troubling his brother had been solved.

That's enough.

Atobe Keigo would not ask his brother who he found, although he did feel a little jealous.

He only knew that there was such a person who seemed to have a good relationship with his brother, but he had never seen him nor heard his brother mention his name or any information about him.

But he was also very grateful to that person for helping his brother resolve his emotional problems.

Be happy to do what you want to do, whether it is playing tennis, fighting or medicine,

As long as Guangguang likes him and he is happy, that's enough.

If some things are destined to be carried by someone, then having me is enough.

If one day,

If Jingguang agrees, there will be no problem for him to become the head of the Atobe family.

"elder brother......"

"Ah, um, you awake?"

"Huh~ I love you the most... my brother... please don't get hurt..."

silence--

"...What are you talking about in your sleep, you little brat!"

Having said that, the corners of Keigo Atobe's mouth were raised high and the tips of his ears were red.

Since growing up, Jingguang rarely said such things so bluntly.

I used to say it once or twice a day when I was a kid~

Atobe Kagemitsu rubbed the bed sheet, trying to use his cheek to smooth out the wrinkles on the bed sheet that he had pressed, while at the same time he hugged the hand in his arms tightly.

Atobe Keigo smiled and lay down again.

Just staring at my brother's face, sizing him up.

See you tomorrow,

At this moment I suddenly realized,

Jingguang has grown up.

He is no longer the little kid with a puffy face who always pestered me when I was a kid and would look for me everywhere if he couldn't see me for a moment.

It's been right under my nose.

I didn't even notice it.

Jingguang has unknowingly acquired many more things.

The thin calluses on the joints of the thumb and index finger, the bruises on my body when I occasionally come back,

There were also various medicine bottles that disappeared when I came back after going out with many of them.

In fact, he had noticed the changes in Jingguang since he came back from his leave of absence.

But I also know Jingguang's determination.

The decision he made will not be changed easily.

Moreover, the child seemed to want to hide it from me, so I pretended not to notice.

"I am the older brother, I should protect you, stupid brother~"

"You are protecting me. Brother has always been protecting me, hasn't he?"

Whether it's the pressure from my grandfather, the pressure from the board of directors, or the troubles in the social world and other aspects...

He knew that it was his brother who was taking the blame for him.

He shouldered all the responsibilities by himself, and never mentioned it to me.

Hide all the fatigue, hard work, sweat and effort in a corner, and always show an arrogant and proud side to the outside world.

But he knew all the hard work his brother had done.

Atobe Keigo fell into a daze:???

Then suddenly, a red flush appeared on his face.

( ⁄⁄σ⁄_⁄σ⁄⁄)

When did Jingguang wake up?!!

"Ahem...Are you awake? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

"Well... I'm a little sleepy, but the tennis club..."

"I've already asked the housekeeper and supervisor to ask for leave at school. The tennis club won't be ruined if they're not here in the morning."

Sleep well.

Besides, there are still the supervisor and Oshitari.

Can't fall down.

If you fall, I will beat up Yuushi Oshitari!

(Yuushi Oshitari, who is supervising the tennis team's training at Hyotei Tennis Court: A-choo - is Xiaojing thinking about me?)
