Chapter 5 The third time, late
Chapter 5 The third time, late
In the afternoon, before Ying left, she specifically asked Xia Chuan not to come to the tennis court to look for her again, and promised to come back before dark.This allowed her to go to Ryoma with confidence.

We must talk to him more today, she thought so, and she walked onto the tennis court unknowingly.

Strangely, the empty stadium was extremely silent.

There was no sound of the first two hits. Could it be that he is not there?
Hotaru pushed aside the bushes and burrowed in. The wall where Ryoma practiced regularly every day was still standing lonely. There were potholes on the wall, which were the evidence left by the practice day after day.

Sure enough, it's not there...

Feeling lost for a while, Yingying lowered her head and looked at her toes.

The scorching sun shone on her, but her heart was cold.Were you in a hurry when you left yesterday?But I have clearly told him that I will come here to watch him practice today... Even if I can't come, I should say something...

Or did he hate her coming here every day to disturb his practice, so he changed places?

Yingying sat disappointedly on the rock she sat on yesterday, staring at the wall in a daze, always feeling unwilling, what if she left and he came again... wait... wait and see...

The girl hugged her knees, even though the sweat continued to drip with the high temperature, soaking her long hair and the beautiful lace skirt, she still did not leave.The last ray of fiery red light finally disappeared at the end of the sky with the lonely chirping of sparrows.

The entire sky suddenly changed from a dim yellow orange to a light blue.

The sky hadn't completely darkened yet, but the stars had appeared, a dull silvery brilliance.There is no moon tonight... Firefly searched for the trace of the crescent crescent, but failed for a long time.

At this time, she had already forgotten all about agreeing to Xia Chuan.

"Tat-tat-tat-tat..."

A burst of fast running footsteps caught Yingying's attention, and then, a black silhouette swaying from side to side appeared in the distance without street lights, and approached here step by step.

The shadow ran very fast, and his panting could be heard from a long distance away.

Firefly stood up quickly, looking at the familiar short shadow with joy, with an innocent smile on the corner of her mouth.

The joy that could not be concealed was revealed as the face of that person gradually appeared.

Ryoma ran over with big strides, his face full of anxiety, he saw Hotaru standing there looking at him, he accelerated his speed, and finally stopped in front of Hotaru, then bent down and propped his knees on his knees, and gulped Dress roughly.

The running just now exhausted his physical strength, and he was unable to speak for a long time.

"Huh-huh-huh-yes...sorry!" He eased his breathing, and said to Yingying intermittently, "Yesterday...huh-forgot to tell you, my father...huh-huh- — to guide my tennis practice..."

"So you can't come today?" Firefly interrupted the boy.

"Ah... yes..." Ryoma looked at the girl's peaceful face strangely, trying to explain something, but then he admitted it honestly.

Sure enough, he was still a 7-year-old child who didn't know what deception was, so he frankly admitted this question that might make others angry.

However, it is manly to be brave.

Finally breathing steadily, Ryoma stared blankly at the little girl's expression, for fear that she would suddenly get angry.

If it wasn't for practice, he would have come a long time ago, and he was distracted even during the practice, which caused him to be scolded several times by his father... I'm afraid she'll wait here foolishly for a long time.

But it was still my own fault for not telling her yesterday.Ryoma didn't want to refute anything, he just felt sorry in his subconscious mind.

"Then why are you still here?"

"Because I'm afraid you'll be waiting here..." Ryoma answered as it should.

Who knows that this answer warmed Yingying's heart, and then she smiled happily, "It's okay... I just waited for a while, besides, didn't you come too? It's a pity that it's already very late... I going back."

"That……"

"Huh?" Yingying turned her head and saw Ryoma's cute look in trouble.

Ryoma hesitated for a long time before saying, "Tomorrow... I will come to practice batting..."

"Well! I will come tomorrow too." The girl turned her head and smiled brilliantly.

Hearing the answer he wanted to hear, the boy also smiled, but this smile was shy.

The first chance encounter led to the second encounter, and the third time, although it ended late, the girl's bright smile took root in his heart.

I really like the feeling of practicing together, which is different from when I practiced with my father.

She would always look at him quietly with a small face, without saying a word.But when he felt the bright eyes behind him, he was full of strength again.

On the way back, Yingying thought of the boy's hesitant but obvious words at the end, and felt happy and funny at the same time.

7 years, when will it pass.

"Ryoma, after you grow up, can I also intervene in your life?"

The little girl muttered to herself, even though she only had the appearance of a 6-year-old girl, in her eyes, there was only a maturity different from this age, and the attachment and affection for that person had already sprouted in her heart.

Every day after that, Hotaru would watch Ryoma's practice, day after day, rain or shine, and when it rained, the two would hide under the building, drinking Ponta and chatting.

Ryoma tells Hotaru that his dream is to become a better tennis player than his father.

Firefly knows this.He loves tennis since he was a child.

Therefore, she often encourages him to persevere and believe that one day he can realize this dream.In fact, it is not pure encouragement, but it is destined that he will become an excellent professional tennis player.

Echizen Ryoma, the person she likes.You have to grow up quickly and become a boy in charge of yourself.But now, just staying with you like this, talking about big dreams that only children can think about, doing things that only children can do, with a pure smile on your face, that's enough .

If you can live like this, that's enough.

However, life is not so peaceful.

During this period, Hotaru seemed to have forgotten the fact of her identity.

This kind of life lasted for a month, and a month later, Hotaru finally turned 7 years old in this world.This was the first time she celebrated her birthday here. According to her request, the birthday was not celebrated in a grand manner. She simply bought a cake and cooked a table of sumptuous meals.

Because her parents are not in the United States.

However, with her 7th birthday comes her older brother, Keigo Atobe.

It was the summer vacation. Keigo Atobe, who was studying in elementary school in the UK, decided to come to the United States to accompany his younger sister after some discussions with his parents, and to take his younger sister who was about to enter elementary school to the same school as him in the UK.

It was after Keigo Atobe came to the United States that Hotaru learned about it from him.

The scorching heat of summer makes people sweat profusely when they move around a little.

The air conditioner was turned on in the room. At this moment, Hotaru was lying on the large soft bed in an extremely comfortable posture. The cool and refreshing wind was blowing on her snow-white skin. It felt really good after taking a shower.

Ever since Xia Chuan heard the news that Jibu Keigo was coming to England, she had been looking forward to this day all the time.

Not for anything else, just want to see what he is like at the age of 9.

Finally, the day has come.

Xia Chuan pushed open the door in panic, and a gust of hot air swarmed in.

Feeling that the air suddenly became humid and hot, Ying opened her eyes, glared at Xia Chuan and said, "What's the matter, you're so flustered..."

"Ying...Miss Ying..." Xia Chuan was a little unsteady for breathing, he pointed outside and said, "Master Jingwu...Young master has arrived!"

"What?" Yingying turned over and sat up in a jerk, not caring about the heat or not, she leaned out the window, and sure enough, there was a luxurious private car parked outside the villa.Most of the servants stood outside the door, lined up respectfully in two rows, waiting for the people in the car to get off.

For such a big battle, Keigo Atobe was right.

Without even thinking about it, Ying jumped out of bed, put on her shoes, and was still wearing a white chiffon suspender nightdress, but because of time constraints, she rushed downstairs without thinking about changing clothes.

As soon as he ran to the entrance of the villa, the back door of the car was opened.

The first thing that catches the eye is a foot wearing high-end black leather shoes, followed by the second. When both feet are on the ground, a head with short purple-gray hair also appears.

Firefly swallowed nervously.

I watched Keigo Atobe get out of the car wearing a white shirt and black suit, and then walked straight to the villa. The servants who greeted me on the way all bowed and shouted, "Hi, master, master!" Thanks for your hard work." Greetings.

Behind him was his personal butler. Look closely, it was the old man with the white beard in the cartoon.

It turns out that he has been serving him since Keigo Atobe was 9 years old... It's not easy.Firefly scratched her hair, thinking.

Before Yingying could greet him after entering the door, he heard his distasteful voice complaining, "What... the American villas are so simple and not gorgeous at all..."

After finishing speaking, Yingying has petrified aside.

To him, such a luxurious villa is so simple, is he really rich to this extent?

It's just a 9-year-old kid...

Hotaru pursed her lips, and gave him a very contemptuous look. With this stare, Keigo Atobe finally noticed her existence.

To everyone's surprise, the moment he saw Hotaru, his eyes flickered as if he had seen a treasure.Yingying didn't know why she looked at herself for a long time, but before she could react, a black shadow rushed over.

Then, Hotaru only felt the sky dim for a while, and she was pulled tightly into her arms by a very rough guy, and her hair was also roughly rubbed.

Take a closer look, isn't this person Keigo Atobe?
Also, the guy was rubbing her hair and muttering, "Ah, dear sister, how are you doing here?"

This boy who is completely different from just now...is he really Keigo Atobe?
