"oh."
Jingguang nodded indifferently.
After watching the tall man stumble and bump his head as he left, Jing Guang took out his cell phone. Instead of calling, he skillfully blind-typed an email address and sent a few simple words: "I have something to do. Cancel. See you another day."
Then, he didn't close his phone.
Instead, I quietly looked at the phone screen.
Within three seconds, the bell rang.
"It's me, myself."
"I know! But you, little brat, took the initiative to challenge me to a fight, and I was already on my way, and you stood me up? Haha..."
There came a gloomy and cold laugh from someone on the other end, with a hint of rage.
"…Sorry, it's my fault this time."
Jing Guang was silent for a moment, then apologized frankly, "Next time I go on a mission with you, I'll take care of everything and help you on a voluntary basis."
It was indeed he who invited me first and broke the contract later.
There was silence on the other end. For a moment, the only sound that could be heard on both ends of the phone was each other's breathing.
"Tsk~ I'm going to sleep."
The man hung up the phone without saying a word.
Jing Guang's expression warmed up slightly.
He knew, so he agreed.
Half an hour later, Saito brought Ryoma Echizen, who had a flat mouth and a dissatisfied face, and took the two of them to a place.
Then the long wait began again.
As the sound of the engine gradually approached, and then stopped in the open space,
Some familiar footsteps fell on the ground, accompanied by discussions and questions about the driver's dissatisfaction, getting closer and closer.
"Coach Saito?"
"Echizen?!"
“Kagemitsu?!!”
"Where have you been? Echizen! We were all worried sick!"
"Jingguang, didn't you leave in the afternoon?"
Meido, Hiyoshi and Mukai hurried to Jingguang. Meido looked Jingguang up and down and asked.
"Originally, I met that guy and he brought me here."
Jingguang pointed at the coach who was looking at everyone.
Jingguang looked at Meido, "Meido, is my brother... angry?"
It was the first time that Meido Ryo saw Jingguang looking nervous. Although it was not often, it was a very rare emotion for Jingguang.
"yes,"
He did not hide anything, nor was hesitant like Chotaro. He admitted frankly: "By the time he sent us away, Atobe's face color hadn't recovered yet." It was extremely ugly.
Mukaito nodded silently in agreement.
"To borrow the words of Meido-senpai, you did a terrible job, Senior Jingguang."
Meido Ryo snorted coldly: "Yes, Jingguang, your actions are really lame."
Jingguang lowered his head, looked at his toes, and said nothing.
The remaining three Ice Emperors looked at each other and chose not to say anything more.
It's up to these two people to resolve the knot between them.
But now it seems that Jingguang's knot in his heart seems to have been untied a lot?
Atobe Kagemitsu suddenly looked up and made a serious decision in his heart: Mr. Saito is right, I want to go back again and compete with my brother to untie the knot in my heart.
When faced with the knot in his heart and the mistakes he has made, the most effective way for him is to face up to the mistakes, admit his mistakes and punishment, and make amends.
As for Saito's point about "making him like tennis", Jingguang did not refute it, but he knew in his heart that it was impossible.
Emotional apathy is not such a simple thing.
Others don't know.
But he himself knows best.
