When the three of them returned to the event venue together,

The competition had been going on for some time.

Initially, Tsuru was a little depressed about this. However, skateboarding competitions were often more exciting in the middle stages of the competition. She looked at it and made sure that she had missed some low-level moves. Soon, she was relieved that she was late.

Yuji Ninazhi gladly accepted the invitation to watch the show together,

He found an empty spot among the scattered crowd and stood with them.

His expression was quite serious and solemn.

Lilo Tsurumi glanced at him from the corner of her eye thousands of times, but she still decided to go against her conscience and pretend that she didn't know the reason for his low mood.

As for Bunta Marui,

He seemed to be really interested in skateboarding. From time to time, he would exclaim with the crowd for the outstanding performance of a certain player. Occasionally, he would sigh, revealing that he didn't know much about skateboarding. Lilo Tsurumi casually answered him,

He asked a lot of questions with even more interest.

When that pair of beautiful purple eyes widened, it was

Lilo Tsurumi couldn't help but think of her little brother's excited appearance. However, there were still many differences between the two of them.

The first to bear the brunt was,

Oh..,

Height.

Secondly..,

Yue's gray-blue eyes should have looked more gloomy,

But Bunta Marui looked much more mature than him... but this might have something to do with his height.

Drink more milk, little brother. It was really worrying that he hadn't broken through 1.6 meters after graduating from junior high school.

She thought worriedly, and then quickly threw this worry aside (…) and continued to chat happily with Bunta Marui.

"Are you going to learn to skateboard?"

"At the moment, I only have this plan. Although U17 is done,

"As expected, I feel uncomfortable all over if I don't play tennis for a day.

But after I enter high school, if I have time, I really want to give it a try, "Bunta Marui replied,

Then he asked her,

"You seem to know a lot about skateboarding. Did you practice it yourself?"

Because of the two nouns in the other party's words, she inadvertently thought of a certain person who was also obsessed with tennis. Speaking of which, the reason that person later explained that he had neglected her for a period of time was because of this U17 …

Lilo Tsurumi was in a daze for a moment. After she recovered, she replied to Bunta Marui, "No, Mr. Yue taught me how to play. His skills are very good."

She pointed at the player who had just performed the Heel Flip. "Yue Ren is very good at this move. He's good at all the Air moves. After all, it's related to jumping.

Ollie and late also had a lot of tricks up their sleeves.

"However, although that guy is very good at teaching, his standard of teaching others is simply terrible.

Furthermore, skateboarding was basically a sport where one learned as they fell. It wasn't flashy at all …

"… Li."

When she said the last word, she suddenly choked. The girl was silent for half a second before she spat out the last syllable with difficulty.

At this time, Yuji Ninazhi cast a meaningful sidelong glance.

Under the gaze of her companions who were full of gossip, Lilo Tsurumi finished what she originally wanted to say to the boy who was blowing bubble gum in front of her. "… In short, I still recommend that you don't learn to skateboard. Don't learn."

Then, with an obvious look of collapse, she turned around in the direction of the blue-haired and bespectacled boy. Just looking at his back, it felt like his whole body was emitting a substantial black aura like in a manga. The words "Don't talk to me" were pasted on the back of his head.

"You've been assimilated."

The prodigy of the Ice Emperor silently stared at her for two seconds. Finally, he only gave a brief evaluation.

It wasn't as simple as being assimilated.

Lilo Tsurumi felt like she had been poisoned.

A few days ago, she didn't want to eat or drink, but after Tsuru Jianming came back, he distracted her a little, allowing her to rely on her years of prestige in front of her brother to barely maintain a normal appearance.

However, after meeting Keigo Atobe today, she felt that her symptoms had worsened.

Moreover, compared to the common catchphrases of assimilation, even his thoughts had been assimilated. He said, "As long as I think about going abroad soon, I feel that the time I can see you is decreasing by the minute." Could it be that this fellow went to learn some kind of hypnotism during the few days that they were separated from each other?

The kind of hypnotism that could make Lilo Tsurumi, who was determined to break up with him and not see him for a month, obediently go out with him just by giving her a call.

The kind of hypnotism that could copy and paste the meaning of his words into her mind.

The kind of hypnotism that could make Lilo Tsurumi think only of him when she heard others talk about U17 and tennis, even if she knew many tennis players.

… It had been less than three hours since they parted, but Lilo Tsurumi couldn't help but miss the hypnotism.

She lowered her eyes. Her long and thick eyelashes cast a small shadow on her eyelids.

In the next second, a hand was placed on her shoulder. Lilo Tsurumi quickly adjusted her emotions. As she turned her head, Bunta Marui's voice came close to her ear, "Wow, you saw this …"

He stopped halfway because of the soft touch of the girl's cheek on his lips.

Although it was just a touch, Bunta Marui was still stunned.

The two of them looked at each other at a very close distance. He could even feel the girl's gentle breath on his face, and the faint fruity fragrance — —

"I feel like I've been defiled." Tsurugi Riku pressed his face, pushed it away, and said.

"… Huh?!"

Ignoring the red-haired boy's expression, Lilo Tsurumi looked faintly at a certain bespectacled guy who was looking at his phone and had just raised his head when he heard the sound, "Yuji, I was just kissed on the chin by a boy I met for the fourth time. I'm feeling complicated now."

Yuji Ninazhi pushed his glasses up. In the background of Bunta Marui's indignant accusation, "You didn't say that before!

When I sent you the photo of our head … "He calmly raised his phone," My mom asked me to go home for dinner. "

"Oh."

After two seconds of silence, the girl who claimed that she was defiled and had mixed feelings turned to look at the murderer she had pointed out. "Wentai, I feel a little hurt. Can you please touch your conscience when we have dinner later?"

Bunta Marui: … I don't know what expression to make.

Fortunately, Yuji Ninazhi, who was called back by his mother for dinner, patted him on the shoulder at this time, "Don't mind her, she's just like that."

The game ended faster than expected. Yuji Ninazhi was called home by his mother. Marui and Tsurumi went to eat Japanese food together. The former paid the bill. The previous article has already described in detail, so it will be omitted here.

"Don't take it to heart, okay?"

The girl with black hair and black eyes suddenly said. When the boy looked at her, a little confused, she smiled at him, "When I accidentally kissed you before, I said something about being defiled and hurt. My ex-boyfriend said that sometimes I don't know when to joke."

"Hey, it doesn't matter. I'm not a stingy person, and I know that you didn't mean any harm when you said those words." Bunta Marui quickly replied.

After the boy finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Are you really short on money?

Have you considered working part-time or something like that? "

"… Pfft, you took it seriously."

She couldn't help but laugh, and her smile was different from the smile she raised before.

Lilo Tsurumi held her face with a smile, "The reason why I'm relatively poor recently is that I lent 300,000 yen to a big brother who takes care of me. He said that if he wins the game, he will return the money to me."

"300,000?!

Is it a relative? "

"No."

"Is it a neighbor or a friend you've known for many years?"

"No, it's a courier who often comes to my door."

"…" Again, I don't know what expression to make.

For the first time, the boy's handsome face showed a sense of vicissitudes far beyond his age. He looked at the girl with a bright smile in front of him for a long time, and sighed.

"Don't look so worried. The reason I'm willing to lend him so much money is because I trust him, but if he dares to lie to me or betray my trust, I'll find out and break his legs." Lilo Tsurumi formed a knife-like hand and made a chopping motion.

"Fine …" Bunta Marui put the question aside and changed the topic. "I've been meaning to ask you this for the past few days, but I haven't been able to. Do you want to join our graduating class' outdoor camping trip?"

"On the surface, it's a trip organized by the school for the graduating class, but in reality, there's no restriction on the participation of students from other schools, and there's no requirement on the number of participants from the main department. In any case, if you're interested, I'll send you the document later.

The main members of our tennis club have already promised to go together, but not everyone will join, so I think it'll be quite boring if it's all guys.

Didn't you just break up with Atobe? There are plenty of handsome guys in Li Hai.

Our head will be going as well. "

"How about it?

Do you want to come and play with me? "he asked expectantly.

"But …"

Even though the boy had shown his sincerity, Lilo Tsurumi still hesitated before saying, "Can I go home and think about it before replying to you?

Because if I'm going on a long trip, I'll have to ask for my brother's opinion. "

Of course, asking for her brother's opinion was just an excuse.

The girl was thinking, 'Why did you ask me?'

That was the main reason she didn't reply immediately.

"Hmm, no problem. The list will be submitted tomorrow, so there's no rush.

Furthermore, since it's a camping trip at this time, many people will go on a trip with their families after the exam, so there won't be many participants, so you don't have to worry about that.

Furthermore, I'll definitely look after you. "
