Love Tennis and Yumiko Miura

Love Tennis and Miura Yumiko Water Blowing Cold Wind

It's probably a story about a boy and a girl who became friends through tennis, separated, and then reunited.

The title could probably be written as "Love, Tennis, Yumiko".

PS: Yumiko Miura is the sole female lead.

Characters from "Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun" will appear.

This probably puts an end to the regrets I had with "Sobu no K-ON Club". (If you haven't seen "Sobu no K-ON Club", you should check it out!)

Volume: When we meet again, the story has turned a few pages

Prologue

"You're in high school and still missing. You're really acting more and more like a child." The boy's voice sounded.

The moon was high in the night sky, and the surroundings were cold and deserted, with a cool breeze blowing.

Yumiko Miura turned her head, the tears on her face still not wiped away, and the girl's face with tears in her eyes came into the boy's eyes.

"Zhi, Zhixian?" Youmiko called out the name of the boy in front of her with a tearful voice.

"Would you like something to drink? But we don't have lemon tea, only oolong tea." Although he said this in a questioning tone, the boy named Tachibana Chigen unscrewed the cap of the oolong tea bottle and handed it to Yumiko - just like he did in junior high school.

"Why, why did you come to me?" The girl sniffed, trying to stop her tears, but at this moment she was still sobbing.

"Aren't I going to come to you and wait for the police to file a case?" The boy put down his tennis bag, sat down next to the girl, then unzipped his bag, took out a pack of tissues, took out one and handed it to the girl, then took out another one and held it in his hand for later use.

The girl took the tissue and turned her head to deal with her "tears streaming down her face". Just when she was hesitating where to throw it, the boy handed her a plastic bag and in his other hand was the second tissue he had just taken out.

Still as attentive as before, Yumiko thought. She hadn't enjoyed this kind of treatment in over a year, ever since they ended their partnership.

"How did you know?" After tidying herself up, the girl with red eyes turned around and stared at the boy beside her with her beautiful eyes.

"Hayama called Yuigahama, and she was with Totsuka, so Totsuka thought I might be able to find you."

"Totsuka?" The adorable-looking tennis club captain? Yumiko didn't remember him being close to Chixian, even though Chixian's friend was Nozaki or something...

"It's normal for Totsuka Junior High to watch tennis matches and know us. After all, we were once a team that made it to the national mixed doubles quarterfinals."

When she heard about the top eight and the combinations, Yumiko felt that the tears that had just stopped were about to flow out uncontrollably again.

Words like "group partner" sound so bitter to her now.

After all, there is no medicine for regret in the world. What has happened is done and the past cannot be changed.

During the few seconds that Yumiko fell silent, Chixian called Totsuka's cell phone.

"The person has been found. Let Ye Shan and the others go home." Zhixian said so, and did not give Totsuka a chance to say more. After confirming that the other party knew, he decisively ended the call.

Youmiko couldn't help but feel confused when she saw Zhixian put away his phone and showed no intention of moving.

"Summer is coming soon and the weather is going to get hot soon." He said something incoherent.

Yumiko had imagined many times what they would talk about when they were alone again, but it turned out that she still couldn't keep up with Zhixian's train of thought.

"After the regional qualifiers for the team competition are over, the individual competition will begin." Youmiko widened her eyes and looked at Zhixian with an incredible look. A possibility emerged in her mind.

She tried her best to convince herself that this idea was wrong and unrealistic, but it was like wildly spreading weeds, which could not be burned out by wildfire and would grow again in the spring breeze.

"The individual competition roster hasn't been submitted yet." Zhixian said as he turned around and picked up something, "This is for you."

Yumiko took it stupidly.

It was a box with a very conspicuous checkmark-shaped trademark printed on it - as the trademark of a well-known sports brand, there was no reason not to recognize it.

"This is......"

"I bought it when I was a freshman in high school. I didn't feel comfortable giving it away. After all, we haven't been in touch since the last game." Zhixian scratched his face as if to hide his shyness. "I think it suits you quite well."

Yumiko opened the shoe box and what caught her eye was a pair of beautiful tennis shoes, which really matched her aesthetic taste.

After all, they have been partners for three years. Yumiko looked at the shoes with a complicated expression. She felt that she was not qualified to accept them now.

It was she who acted unreasonably without understanding the situation, it was she who wanted to terminate her partnership, and it was she who finally gave up tennis.

She felt that what she had done had completely broken the boy's heart. She didn't even expect to be forgiven, let alone accept the shoes and partner up with him again in the mixed doubles competition.

"Yumiko, are you willing to partner with me again and win that championship trophy?"

You looked at me with a smile, without saying a word, and I knew that I had been waiting for this for a long time. - Rabindranath Tagore

1. First day of school and reunion

Ju Zhixian staggered to school, only five minutes remaining before being scolded by the discipline committee and the physical education teacher. For a sophomore, being late on the first day of school was not a good thing.

However, Zhixian has always been accustomed to arriving at school on time. Since he is not late, the discipline committee members have never been able to do anything to him.

Sobu High School divides classes into different classes every year, so Zhixian’s first thing was to confirm the class he would be in for his second year of high school.

Because it was already late, most of the students had already looked at their class roster and headed to the classroom, so the place in front of the class roster that was crowded just a few minutes ago was now empty.

There are ten classes in the second grade from A to J, but Class J is an international education class. Most of the students are children who have returned from overseas or from wealthy families. It is a fixed class and will not participate in the re-division.

So Zhixian’s new class is one of the nine classes from A to I.

Zhixian looked through the pictures one by one and finally saw his name in Class F.

"What? I'm not in the same class with Nozaki and the others this year." The boy muttered softly, then turned around and prepared to go to his class, Class F of the second year.

Before leaving, he paused for a moment on the name of Miura Yumiko on the F class list.

He sighed softly, shook his head and left the class list.

----split line----

"Ju, you're really awesome. You want to come into the classroom with me, right?" A long-haired female teacher in a white coat clenched her fists and spoke in a bad tone.

"The bell just rang, I'm not late." The boy answered indifferently.

"..." Shizuka Hiratsuka took a deep breath and tried her best to avoid making herself known as a bad guy in front of the students on the first day of school.

"Then I'll go back to my seat, Mr. Hiratsuka." Zhixian walked towards his seat with a look of indifferent expression - because there was only one empty seat in the class.

"Hello, Mr. Ju, thank you for your guidance in the future." The blond prince-like table next to him took the lead in showing goodwill.

"Yeah." He responded to the other party's goodwill very coldly.

The boy named Hayato Hayama didn't take it seriously. He turned his head with a smile, waiting for Mr. Hiratsuka to walk up to the podium and speak.

Zhixian had known Ye Shan in his first year of high school. He had no intention of associating with this extremely popular prince, so even though the two knew each other before, Zhixian treated him like a stranger.

Although Nozaki draws comics every day, and although Nozaki is a girl's comic artist who doesn't understand the hearts of girls, he still misses the days when he sat next to Nozaki.

Zhixian sighed imperceptibly, and then began to listen to the long speech of his homeroom teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka. During this time, he glanced at a certain blonde girl, and then decisively chose to lie down on the table, pretending to catch up on his sleep - completely ignoring Shizuka Hiratsuka's fierce and murderous gaze that seemed to be spitting fire.

The teachers had been told to let Tachibana Chigen sleep if he wanted to during class. After all, as a student with a sports specialty, he had won the prefectural and Kanto tournaments in his first year at Sobu University, and even placed third at the national tournament. The principal treated him like a treasure.

As a high school for college entrance exams, Sobu's sports program is quite limited, so in recent years it has placed a strong emphasis on cultivating talent in these areas. Zhixian is one of the beneficiaries of this policy.

Of course, Shizuka Hiratsuka had witnessed Chixian's training intensity during her first year of high school, and after that she stopped asking about his sleeping in class.

"Tachibana! You know we're going to the auditorium soon!" Shizuka Hiratsuka said, suppressing the urge to punch him, "Yayama, remember to call him."

"I understand, teacher." Ye Shan replied.

"Well, before the opening ceremony starts, let's elect a class monitor. Anyone willing?" Hiratsuka Shizuka began her routine work. "If not, I'll pick someone else, okay?"

No one raised their hand, so Shizuka Hiratsuka flipped through the roster and called out a name.

A boy wearing glasses was lucky enough to become the class monitor - by the way, he was also chosen as the class monitor by Shizuka Hiratsuka in his first year of high school.

"Then the squad leader will call the roll so I can get to know everyone. Oh, and you don't have to call out Ju, I'm sure everyone knows him by now."

So the monitor started to call the roll.

Hayama Hayato, Hikigaya Hachiman, Kawasaki Saki, Miura Yuko...

Shizuka Hiratsuka feels that there are too many problem children in her class. She now suspects that the principal deliberately asked her to lead the second-year F class.

She had a feeling that the road ahead was long and arduous, and that these naughty kids would definitely cause her a lot of trouble in the future.

I have to say that Mr. Hiratsuka is sometimes very forward-looking.

2. Memoirs of Totsuka

After the opening ceremony, it is time to go home from school, and freshmen can go and take a look at the clubs setting up stalls on campus.

As a second-year student, Zhixian naturally would not visit the club. He picked up the tennis bag behind the classroom and walked out of the classroom without looking back.

Totsuka Ayaka stretched out her hand to call out to him, but no sound came out - she had done something similar in the first grade, but had never succeeded.

Although Ju Zhixian belonged to the tennis club, he never attended any activities of the tennis club except for the official matches of the high school league. He always trained alone - in a tennis club.

Totsuka knew that there was no one in the entire tennis club who could play except Chixian, but he had just taken over the responsibility of the club leader from his predecessor, so he hoped that everyone could unite and make the tennis club stronger together.

However, Zhixian never bought into his claims. A senior had once challenged him, only to be beaten 6-0 and left the team feeling frustrated. They were struggling to even make the regional qualifiers, so how could they possibly compete against the national team?

But Zhixian did not refuse to participate in the team competition.

However, as the first singles player, he had very few opportunities to play, and basically lost the game without even having to play.

The advisory teacher of the Sobu Tennis Club doesn't know much about tennis, so he can't be of much help, and therefore he's not very enthusiastic about grades or anything like that.

In the individual competition, Zhixian didn't need any on-the-side guidance, so the role of consultant was very easy for him.

But Totsuka, the club leader, didn't think so. He still wanted to go one step further. He had been following the tennis player Chigen Tachibana since junior high school.

In the mixed doubles competition, his cooperation with his partner was seamless, and he was able to defeat his opponent every time through tacit understanding.

Totsuka, who had just started learning tennis at the time, was deeply impressed by the boys' playing style, as it was clear that the girls' weaknesses were compensated for, allowing them to play at their best.

When enrolling in Sobu High School, Totsuka discovered that Chizuru Tachibana and his partner Yumiko Miura had both entered Sobu High School. At that time, he was very much looking forward to witnessing this "Platinum Combination" fighting side by side on the court and being invincible again.

However, imagination is full and reality is skinny.

Although Zhixian joined the tennis club, he switched to singles. As for Miura, he didn't join the tennis club at all.

Puzzled, Totsuka observed them secretly and found that they were like strangers, not greeting each other when they met, and even avoiding each other intentionally or unintentionally. They also had their own small circles.

Maybe there is some hardship, Totsuka thought.

By chance, it was Chixian's turn to play first singles in a tennis match. Totsuka discovered something strange about Chixian: he would subconsciously catch a ball that had clearly gone out of bounds, or ignore a ball that was hit behind him when he was at the net.

This is probably a hangover from doubles! After all, the out-of-bounds range in doubles and singles is different, and if you're used to doubles, you might not be as comfortable with singles for a while.

Zhixian won the game in the end. After concentrating his attention, he easily defeated his opponent.

At that time, many people felt that the Platinum combination was extremely strong even when playing alone.

However, in the first-year high school team competition, they only made it past the regional qualifiers and were eliminated early in the subsequent county competition.

In the individual competition, Zhixian won the county competition, the Kanto competition, and the third place in the national competition.

His excellent performance even made people forget that he was once a doubles player.

Totsuka thought that it was probably because Miura gave up tennis that the two of them ended up like this. And the disheartened Zhixian gave up looking for a new partner and switched to singles, continuing to pursue his tennis dream.

But it doesn’t matter whether it is like this or not. In short, Zhixian is still running on the court, working hard for his dreams and glory.

On the other hand, Totsuka really couldn't communicate with Chixian.

......

So, the point is that Totsuka was too embarrassed to ask such a question, right?

3. Sandwiches and Oolong Tea

After entering the school and coming into contact with seniors and teachers, freshmen will more or less learn about some things in the school, such as influential people, what kind of bread sells well, how teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka's blind date failed again... and so on.

The topic that the freshmen who have just entered the school are most interested in must be the influential people in the school, because this usually includes handsome men and beautiful women.

For example, Hayato Hayama.

The ace of the football club, he has excellent grades, is kind, and has a sunny personality, just like a blond prince.

For example, Yukinoshita Yukino.

A returned overseas student from a prominent family, she has a beautiful face, a well-proportioned figure, and excellent academic performance. Although she is quite aloof, she is admired by many students.

Ahem, for example, Chihiro Tachibana from The Prince of Tennis.

Although he is the Prince of Tennis, Hayama, who is also the Prince of Balls, obviously has overwhelming popularity.
