In April, spring is cold, but it is also the season when cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
Kanagawa Prefecture. Fujisawa City, Ye Wu walks on the Shonan coastline.
On the left hand side is the skyline where you can see the sea as far as the eye can see.
On the other side of the road, the cherry blossom trees were rustling and shaking, and the fallen flowers were in full bloom.
Ye Wu enrolled in the High School Affiliated to Lihai University today. He was wearing a dark green jacket and school uniform with a dark blue striped tie.
His delicate face attracted the silent gazes of passers-by, but the young man seemed to be unaware of it.
A spring breeze blew by.
Small pink and white flowers flutter in the wind along the coastline.
The moist air carries the salty sea breeze and a faint aroma.
I searched carefully in front of the bulletin board and finally found my class and student number.
Ye Wu immediately took steps towards the direction of the teaching building.
------
Class C, first grade.
Standing at the classroom door, I already felt a quiet atmosphere.
In the classroom, most people are not familiar with each other yet, and they maintain the restraint of entering the environment for the first time.
Occasionally, a few voices came, mostly from children who were admitted to Kanagawa Elementary School together. They also lowered their tone and greeted each other.
Ye Wu slowly pushed them away, and for a moment, the eyes in the classroom turned to him almost at the same time, looking at the person directly or quietly.
The boy has short pink hair and is slightly taller than his peers. The most striking thing is his temperament.
Obviously they both entered middle school from elementary school. Although the other person has a childish and fresh appearance, he also has a mature and restrained temperament.
Invisibly, the boundaries between each other are cut off, and they have an aura that repels people thousands of miles away.
He tilted his head and looked at the blackboard as if no one else was there. When he saw his seating arrangement, he walked over.
After briefly cleaning the seat, he put down his schoolbag and sat quietly, not wanting to say hello to the people around him.
The seats are in the back near the window.
Well, it’s actually a window seat for the protagonist. Sure enough, the back row is by the window, Wang's hometown.
After Ye Wu put down his schoolbag, he was cursing in his heart, but on his face he looked calm and elegant.
Many students in the class secretly looked at Ye Wu, and several familiar girls were whispering excitedly. This kind of boy with mature temperament and handsome appearance was the most popular among girls during his school days.
However, the young man's cold and distant attitude also made most students hesitate.
Just when Ye Wu felt idle and started staring at the huge cherry blossom tree outside the window in a daze.
The boy at the front desk turned around and smiled brightly at Ye Wu in the back seat, "Are you Nozaki-kun? Hello, my name is Komorida Ichiro. I like playing basketball. What do you think my favorite food is?"
He was not a "cold boy" persona either. When his classmates greeted him, Ye Wu also nodded subconsciously to express friendship.
He was thinking about it and was about to say something.
Suddenly, there was a small commotion in the classroom.
Ye Wu raised his head and stared at the entrance of the classroom, and saw a young man standing in front of the blackboard, probably looking for seating arrangements.
His hair has casual curls, and the blue color is like a blooming iris, so eye-catching and elegant.
His eyes were as clear as glass, with a hint of melancholy like smoke.
"What a delicate child." Seeing the young man's face, Ye Wu was stunned for a moment, and his heart suddenly fluctuated with emotion.
What Ye Wu didn't know was that his conspicuous presence in the sights directed at the young man made him more secretive, and he could be easily noticed by the other party even if he looked at him in a subtle way.
Therefore, when the young man felt the gaze from Ye Wu, he also cast a tactful glance.
Then, the young man suddenly took steps towards Ye Wu, approaching with light steps. Facing Ye Wu, who looked at him in surprise, he nodded slightly.
"Are you Yukimura-kun? Hello, my name is Morita Ichiro. I like playing basketball. What do you think my favorite food is?" Morita Ichiro took the time to get acquainted with the boy.
"Brother, please change your line. Did you greet the whole class with this sentence?"
Ye Wu rested his forehead on his left hand and lowered his eyes slightly, seemingly unintentionally.
In fact, he listened carefully to the conversation between the two.
"I am Seiichi Yukimura, please give me your advice."
Yukimura Seiichi cleaned up his desk unhurriedly, then looked at the two people next to him and smiled lightly.
The boy's voice has not yet reached the stage of changing his voice, but his voice is as melodious and melodious as the sounds of nature.
"Nozaki Wu, please give me some advice."
He didn't pay any attention to the name of his deskmate on the blackboard, so that when Ye Wu heard the other person's self-introduction, he realized,
It turns out that he is the director of Rikkai University, Yukimura Seiichi.
I was too young and didn't recognize him at all. When I watched the anime before, I only remembered the other party's appearance when he was in the third grade of junior high school.
"What does Mr. Morita like to eat? I can't guess."
Yukimura Seiichi looked at Komorida Ichiro with a smile,
With a calm attitude, he answered the other party's question just now.
He has a tolerant and kind temperament that can cooperate with Komorida Ichiro in that boring question and answer game.
This is another impression Ye Wu has on Seiichi Yukimura.
I couldn't help but feel a fondness for this child.
A talented middle school student has quiet communication skills.
Yeah, but no matter how much he acts like an adult, his childish face is really super cute.
It makes people want to snap and pinch the opponent's face cutely.
When Ye Wu's eyes were about to turn towards a kind side, Komorida Ichiro exaggerated and made a muscle-flexing movement.
"My favorite thing to eat right now is - banana protein powder milkshake!"
It was really tiring to pretend to be soft, and Ye Wu didn't even know what kind of expression he should make to cooperate with the other party.
He turned his head and looked at Yukimura Seiichi.
But seeing that the other party did not change his expression, he looked at him gently and reminded:
"Haha, that's it. I really didn't expect it. But protein powder should be consumed in moderation, Komorida-kun."
What an Asasi, replying to Komorida without embarrassing him, but also sincerely giving health tips!
Ye Wu thought boredly, this kid is too polite and good-tempered.
Of course, maybe he doesn't know, probably from here.
Because the first impression is too gentle and harmless.
In Ye Wu's eyes, many of Yukimura Seiichi's actions in the future seemed to have had heavy filter effects applied to him.
Komorida Ichiro's chest seemed to be vibrating hard, and he made a bold little sound.
After chatting for a while, I saw a new classmate come in, and went over to say hello in his own unique way.
Ye Wu and Yukimura were speechless for a while.
Not long after, a young female teacher hurried in,
"Good morning everyone, I am your homeroom teacher Yuka Sorayama."
"Nothing goes wrong, we will get along together in the next three years. The teacher is still young, so I ask for your guidance."
Sorayama Yuka said and bowed.
The students showed respect to the young female teacher and applauded enthusiastically.
"Next, please introduce yourself to the students and show yourself boldly. Youth must be fearless."
…
"Hello everyone, my name is Komorida Ichiro, I..."
"You like to play basketball, and your favorite is banana protein and powdered milkshake -" Several classmates responded in unison in a playful manner.
The classroom burst into laughter instantly.
Because of this episode, the atmosphere gradually relaxed and relaxed.
Homeroom teacher Yuka Sorayama also laughed, "It seems that Komorida-kun is very popular."
After being named, Komorida smiled innocently.
When it was Ye Wu's turn, the pink-haired boy stood up and introduced himself in a normal way.
"Nozaki Wu, likes sports and is good at tennis, volleyball, and basketball."
When Yukimura Seiichi heard that he was good at tennis, he looked at the boy next to him with a little more inquiry.
After sitting down, he noticed the gaze of his deskmate. Ye Wu tilted his head and looked at him with confusion.
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, he had no choice but to give out a kind smile.
But this smile seemed meaningful to Yukimura Seiichi. He could read the arrogant aura of a strong man.
Or maybe it was the aura of an insider. Seiichi Yukimura's sixth sense told him that Gou Nozaki, who was good at tennis, would be his evenly matched opponent in the future.
Things get interesting.
Sure enough, choosing Tatekai was right, Yukimura Seiichi smiled happily.
Uh, why do I have the illusion that lilies are blooming? Looking at his deskmate, Ye Wu was confused.
After that, teachers from various subjects came over to introduce themselves. Ye Wu boldly stared out the window and became stunned again.
The radio sounded at this moment,
"Please invite the first-year students to attend the opening ceremony in the auditorium..."
"Nozaki-kun, let's go to the auditorium together." Yukimura Seiichi looked at his deskmate who was interrupted by the broadcast and invited him with a smile.
Oh hoo! Ye Wu followed the other party in a daze.
Each class comes to the auditorium in order.
After listening to the inspiring speech by Principal Yoshizawa Tsutomu, the freshman representative Hiroshi Yagyu also came to the stage to speak.
Ye Wu looked at the rostrum wearing glasses and looking like a meticulous and good student.
Yagyu Hiroshi, this name is very familiar, he seems to be the Tatekai Taisho Selection, right?
But such an elite academy doesn't look like someone who plays tennis.
It was such a long time ago that Ye Wu didn't remember many tennis figures, and he only had a slight impression of the protagonists.
------
After lunch break.
The afternoon activity is to visit the club, and decide where the club will go before Friday.
It was rare for Ye Wu to take the initiative to invite new classmates and join the club together.
In his opinion, in order to live a less isolated life as a student, it is necessary to make one or two friends.
My new deskmate is kind and gentle, and he can play tennis, so he is worth getting along with.
"My friend is in Class A, can I invite him together?" Yukimura worried for a moment.
"sure."
The two came to Class A. After the three gathered together, their first destination was to visit the tennis club.
"He is Genichiro Sanada. Although he is very serious, Sanada is very interesting." Walking on the road, Yukimura Seiichi introduced each other.
The handsome and upright young man in front of him had a serious face.
"Seichi!" Genichiro Sanada interrupted angrily at the young boy's joke.
He still has a childish face, and his speaking style does look like a serious adult.
"Sanada, this is my deskmate, Nozaki Wu." Yukimura Seiichi glanced at Ye Wu with a smile.
"Nozaki-kun is very good at tennis."
Hearing this, Genichiro Sanada clenched his fists and said firmly with a stern face,
"Let's have a fight together when you have time!"
"Hey, I didn't tell you how good my tennis skills are?"
Ye Wu was burned by Sanada Genichiro's sudden fighting spirit.
Yukimura Seiichi looked a little confused, his eyes dull.
"Haha, I feel it." Yukimura Seiichi smiled mysteriously.
In fact, he just wanted to tease the little boy, but he didn't expect Nozaki-kun's reaction to be so interesting.
The three of them came to the tennis club. From a distance, they heard the sound of balls being hit one after another.
Since the first grade entered school today, the senior students were informed that they would have no classes in the afternoon and were required by the school to participate in club activities in order to facilitate the guidance of new students.
Tatekai University's tennis club is very famous in Kanagawa Prefecture, having won the Kanto Tournament for thirteen consecutive years.
Therefore, the school attaches great importance to the tennis department and directly assigns three tennis courts to the tennis department.
The baseball club next door also agreed to enjoy this treatment because of its excellent results.
The three of them walked and observed the matches between several seniors, and then looked at the equipment. Unexpectedly, they discovered that there was also an automatic tennis ball server.
"It seems that the school really spends a lot of money to support the tennis club." Ye Wu was a little emotional about the cost of the school's investment in the club.
Automatic ball-serving machines generally do not allocate funds for the purchase of automatic ball-serving machines in middle and high schools.
However, what makes Li Hai Tennis Club special?
After the visit, because applications for membership could not be submitted until tomorrow, several people left the tennis club to visit other clubs.
Watching his juniors leave, Naoto Mizuo read the information in his hand and handed it to Daisuke Ito.
"Among the three children just now, are there any champions and runners-up from last year's JR Conference?"
The Lihai University Tennis Club usually obtains some information about good prospects before new students enroll.
"It's Seiichi Yukimura and Genichiro Sanada. This first grade is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon." Daisuke Ito explained to the other party.
"Where's the other one with pink hair?" Mizuo Naoto rummaged through the information, but didn't see this person's photo information.
I do not know! Daisuke Ito looked at his friend awkwardly.
Naoto Mizuo picked up the information and hit the other party's head rudely.
"How did you become the deputy minister? How did you collect intelligence information?"
Daisuke Ito sighed, a little speechless at the other party's difficulty.
"How did you become the minister? Huh?"
"Why? Mao Li gave it to me. If you have the ability, go to him!"
