After the game ended, Yanagi Renji and Yukimura Seiichi switched positions to play against Sanada Genichiro, with Yukimura Seiichi recording the data.
In the next round, Genichirō Sanada took over the position of recording data, while Seiichi Yukimura played against Renji Yanagi.
One round after another, continuously, repeatedly, without any interruption.
Only when the three men's shirts were soaked again did Seiichi Yukimura stop the training.
"Yukimura, what's wrong today? Why are you training so recklessly?" Yanagi Renji leaned on the bench and asked Yukimura Seiichi beside him without caring about his image.
Yukimura Seiichi didn't answer the question, but instead asked Sanada Genichirō, who was sitting next to him: "Sanada, do you think you fought hard today?"
After finishing his training with the tennis club, Genichiro Sanada would continue to practice swordplay when he returned home every day, and his physical fitness was already good enough.
Even so, Genichiro Sanada felt that today's training had roughly exceeded his limits.
"I'm indeed a little tired. I was too lax before." Sanada said, panting.
Yukimura Seiichi smiled with satisfaction after hearing Sanada Genichiro's answer: "Then let's train in this way from now on, and the others too."
After saying this, Yukimura Seiichi stood up and said to the two of them, "Today, someone told me, 'Life is but a hundred years long, and every moment of time is precious.'"
Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, Yukimura Seiichi continued, "Some people are able to make the most of every moment. If we can't do that, then even if we have the best talent, we will eventually be surpassed."
Yukimura's words exploded like a bomb in the minds of Sanada Genichirō and Yanagi Renji, so shocking.
Yukimura unconsciously imagined the girl's face in his mind, and he smiled and calmly explained the reason for his persistence.
"I have to lead the tennis club to work harder," thought Seiichi Yukimura.
…
Jiang Nian had no idea that his casual remark would cause such a big misunderstanding to Yukimura Seiichi. The original Oki Jiang Nian and the current Jiang Nian had the same goal, which was to study hard, participate in competitions, win awards, and finally get the prize money.
It's just for money.
Of course Jiang Nian would not tell Yukimura Seiichi his true thoughts, after all, they were not familiar with each other.
At this moment, Jiang Nian was talking to his mother on the phone. After all, there was nothing more joyful than receiving a gift that he liked.
Jiang Nian kept stroking the several sets of test papers "Li Hai Junior High School to Junior High School Past Years' Questions" in one hand, and holding the phone in the other hand, and his hair seemed to be laughing.
"Mom, have you and grandma chosen the school I want to attend?" Jiang Nian asked casually.
On the other end of the phone, Kotoko Oshizuka had already imagined how Jiang Nian would look after receiving the gift, and she was in a very happy mood, but she also had to explain to Jiang Nian.
"Yes, the important things on my side have been basically resolved, and grandma must be safe." Kotoko Oshizuka paused and continued, "Grandma is old, and it will be better if you are here with her."
Jiang Nian listened to his mother's voice getting smaller and smaller, and knew that his mother still felt very guilty.
In fact, Jiang Nian had always known that there was something strange about his father's death. The hospital he often went to had records that his father was allergic to alcohol, and he never drank.
I remember that on the day of the car accident, my father came out of a dinner party and told me while driving that he "did not drink". Why did the autopsy report say "drunk driving"?
Jiang Nian knew that his mother had always wanted to find out the truth and give his father justice, and he felt the same way.
"Mom, don't think too much. Just do what you want to do and don't worry about me." Jiang Nian took a deep breath, suppressed his longing for his family, and continued:
"Whatever you want to do is what I want to do. I will never be a stumbling block to you, but will only be your support."
The affirmation of family members is a source of strength. Do you know how much a word of encouragement can heal the wounds in the face of difficulties?
Kotoko Oshizuka was already in tears at this time. After hanging up the phone with Jiang Nian, her belief became even stronger.
The truth may be buried, but it will never disappear. The murderer will one day be exposed to the light of day, despised by everyone, and pay for the sins he has committed.
Jiang Nian felt extremely heavy-hearted after hanging up the phone.
Jiang Nian thought of the "over 300,000 compatriots who died," the "Lugou Bridge," and Xi'an...
The same thing happened with my father's death.
Grandma in the kitchen had no idea what was happening in the living room and was concentrating on making Jiang Nian's favorite dishes.
"Grandma, I want to eat watermelon. I want to eat half of it."
Jiang Nian's voice reached grandma's ears. Grandma smiled and said, "You little kid, you have to restrain yourself and eat after you finish your meal."
…
Ying Mu Yu Zi and Chiba Shuji quickly sorted through the photos, deleting the unclear ones, the ones with strange expressions, the ones with uncoordinated movements...
Finally, the two of them completed the work in less than half an hour.
Yingmu Yuzi breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally finished, I'll leave the rest to Jiang Nian. I don't think I'll have much time to go to the tennis club in the future."
Chiba Hideji, who had been relaxing, fell into sadness again, lamenting, "From now on, I can only rest for half a day on Saturday morning. I don't want this!"
Just at this moment, Chiba Yoko walked into the room.
If time could go back, Chiba Hideji would definitely tell himself what it means to "think twice before acting", including when speaking.
Chiba Yoko glared at Chiba Hideji and said through gritted teeth, "Go home! Do you have to wait for me to pick you up before you know what time it is?"
Ying Muyu looked at the listless Chiba Xiu Er, and his sympathy overflowed: "Auntie, Xiu Er and I were doing something just now..."
Ying Muyuzi looked at Chiba Yoko's serious expression, and his voice gradually faded away. He could only sigh in his heart: "Aunt Chiba's aura is too strong. Xiu Er, you're on your own."
…
After dinner, in grandma's yard.
Jiang Nian stopped studying tonight and held half a watermelon. He slowly scooped out the watermelon with a spoon and ate it in small bites.
Grandma sat next to Jiang Nian and also felt the tranquility of the moment.
I can only sigh in my heart: "Whose thoughts are these stars in the sky filled with?"
No dreams tonight.
The next morning.
Before the sun rose, Jiang Nian and his grandmother planted the lettuce seeds.
Jiang Nian cleared a small plot of land next to the lettuce and buried yesterday's watermelon seeds in the soil.
"Grandma, we can eat the watermelons when they are ripe. We don't have to spend so much money on watermelons anymore." Jiang Nian said hopefully.
Grandma laughed and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you then."
In fact, Jiang Nian knew that it was difficult to grow watermelons under the conditions in Japan, unless it cost a huge amount of manpower and material resources, so he just did it for fun.
In the afternoon, Jiang Nian traveled light and left with only a few books.
Seeing that my grandma was reluctant to leave, I had no choice but to harden my heart.
At this time, Jiang Nian on the Shinkansen had no idea how much work he would have to face after returning home, nor did he know how much "hardship" Chiba Hideji and Sakuragi Yuzi had experienced in the past two days.
