At night, eight o'clock,

In the tennis practice court,

The summer evening breeze has a warm feeling. The sweaty teenagers who are exercising only feel cool and comfortable after being blown by the wind.

They are not the only ones who come to the court to play or practice in the evening.

Jingguang and Yukimura carried their tennis bags and walked past many courts. There were already people inside.

At first glance, it was players from other countries practicing and competing against each other.

There are also familiar people,

For example, Momoshiro, Echizen, Tezuka, Kirihara, Shiraishi, Meido, Feng, etc.

Everyone has just arrived here and is still adjusting to the time difference. Although it is already night here, the young people are still full of energy.

The coaches also let them have free rein.

Jingguang and Yukimura were slowly looking for the venue, while also paying attention to the players on the field.

"Speaking of which..."

Yukimura Seiichi looked at Akaya who was concentrating on his practice against the wall, but did not interrupt him.

After walking past the court, he suddenly spoke up.

"Since then, Akaya's red-eye state has indeed appeared less frequently, especially after the Kanto Tournament. He can also consciously control his red-eye state. Moreover, Yanagi has also discovered that Akaya in the red-eye state can now think and communicate normally. Thank you Jingguang, this is all thanks to you."

"Uh-huh,"

Jingguang nodded and accepted the thanks.

Then, “But you guys are working hard too.”

My brother said that in just one year, Sanada had more wrinkles between his eyebrows.

He has become much more mature than when we first met in junior high school.

???

"Ah, and my illness. Really, I have to thank Jingguang again. If it weren't for you, even if I really defeated the god of death and stood here, I'm afraid I wouldn't be in my current state..."

There was a trace of sadness in his eyes.

Jingguang stopped and looked at Yukimura Seiichi who was speaking seriously.

Under the moonlight, the boy's sea blue hair was coated with a layer of silver, like a charming mermaid, with a soft voice and gentle smile.

Jingguang felt as if his heart was stabbed by something.

"......"

He was silent for a while before finally pulling his mind away from the beauty, "Yukimura, you are really..." very beautiful.

"?"

Yukimura Seiichi's mouth stiffened, and confusion flashed in his eyes, "I really? Really what?"

"nothing,"

After you are mentally prepared,

Looking up again, Jingguang was able to regain his composure in the face of beauty, "I feel that you and Zhou Zhu are very similar in some ways." Both love to laugh, both are gentle, and both are good-looking.

Hmm...I feel like Jing City is a little more attractive.

"Yeah?"

Yukimura Seiichi's eyes flashed, Zhousuke...?

"Let's discuss something, Jingguang."

"Um?"

"From now on, no matter what the occasion, just call me Seiichi. I understand, but if you call me Yukimura, I'll always feel a little sad. After all, it will always seem a little strange and alienated."

Yukimura Seiichi sighed inwardly: What weird excuses these are.

Just when he was about to say that he was just joking,

"Okay, Seiichi."

Jingguang agreed without thinking too much.

We are all friends, so it is normal to call each other more intimately.

Just like Xiao Zheng, he has never been called "Akashi".

Yukimura Seiichi paused for an imperceptible moment, then raised the corners of his mouth, and the smile from the heart made his beauty even more outstanding.

However, someone who should have looked up missed this scene because he turned his head to look for an empty space.

He pointed to a remote and slightly dark place inside and said, "There's no one here, so how about this place?"

"good."

The two stood on both sides of the net, turned on the slightly dim lights in the venue, and started the unfinished game of the day.

"40 to 0!"

Seiichi Yukimura on the court is like two different people in private.

The fierce serve and the unceremonious attack on the opponent's defensive loopholes showed no mercy.

Jingguang likes this style of playing the most. He hates those who are hesitant and hesitant the most.
