"...Brother, I was wrong."

Jingguang admitted his mistake very straightforwardly.

"What's wrong?"

Jingguang: “…” What did I do wrong?

Confused...

At this moment, Jingguang was at a loss, just like a stupid little duck who couldn't find the direction to go.

Atobe Keigo pinched Jingguang's cheeks unhappily and added a little more strength, "Listen, I have never been disappointed in you!"

He repeated firmly, "Atobe Keigo has never been disappointed with Atobe Keimitsu!"

"On the contrary, Atobe Keigo has always been Atobe Keigo's greatest pride! And support!"

Jingguang's existence has helped the Atobe family a lot invisibly.

He helped treat the wife of the head of the Akashi family, and the relationship between the Akashi family and the Atobe family became closer.

He saved Suzuki Sonoko, and the Suzuki family had friendly dealings with the Atobe family even in the business world.

There are also some small cosmetics that Jingguang made for my mother, which have been widely praised in the circle of ladies, and my mother's career has gone more smoothly.

Uncle Asami also privately protected the Atobe family's assets in Japan several times.

besides......

so,

Look,

This old man has such a great view, but he just doesn't realize it.

"So, you are great. Don't underestimate yourself, Jingguang. You are super awesome. Even if you don't play tennis, you are still my favorite brother. I promise that no one will ever surpass you in my heart."

For me, light is the most important thing.

This idea had already been deeply rooted in Keigo Atobe's mind at some point.

Probably started when I was 3 years old.

Even though he no longer remembered the kidnapping incident when he was a child clearly, Keigo Atobe remembered this sentence very clearly.

"elder brother......"

"So, you called me out so late, is this what you want to tell me?"

"Um......"

Jingguang was at a loss as to what to do and could only move his fingers in circles.

"So, you've finished what you're saying?"

Mr. Atobe asked, crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow.

"...It's over."

"Then it's my turn. Jingguang, how about playing a formal doubles match with me at last? Tomorrow."

"good!"

I will try my best!

Jingguang made up his mind secretly.

The two walked along the dark path for a while, and the phone in Jingguang's pocket vibrated slightly.

He opened it, looked at it, and closed it again.

Atobe Keigo glanced at him, noticed his unhappiness, and asked, "What's wrong? Did your friend ask you something?"

"...Not really a friend, just an acquaintance at best."

It was the kind of ruthlessness and cruelty that would make Byodoin want to cry.

Jingguang: I don’t care!

But Jingwu saw his dilemma and patted his shoulder, "Go ahead, I'll walk back by myself."

"oh."

Jingguang nodded, stood at the fork in the road and watched his brother turn the corner before turning and leaving.

Hateful Byodoin!

You better be busy!

Otherwise, I will double the penalty for disturbing my brother and I's walk, and for your provocation today!

snort.

On the other side, Keigo Atobe was walking on the tree-lined path and did not go back first.

He walked for a while, and when he knew he could no longer feel Jingguang's gaze, he stopped and looked up at the moon.

actually,

How could I bear to do that?

That was his precious little brother who had been inseparable from him since birth and was always cherished in his heart.

But my father is right.

Jingguang should have his own life instead of following in my footsteps.

This undoubtedly limited him and restricted his freedom.

Atobe Kagemitsu should be just like his name, living towards the light and free.

This world is big and wonderful.

so,

Jingguang, go enjoy your freedom~

The Atobe family welcomes you back anytime.

I will definitely be your eternal harbor.
