After leaving the classroom, Keigo Atobe didn't actually do as Ryuri Chiba had requested and cause trouble for Nana Kawakami.
Putting aside who was in the right and who was in the wrong, the good upbringing he had since he was a child wouldn't allow him to cause trouble for a girl. However, Ryuri Chiba's words were like a curse in his mind. The moment he heard it, he did have the urge to do as she said. However, as soon as he left the classroom, his mind instantly cleared up.
As soon as he walked out of the school building, the bell for class rang. However, the youth didn't hesitate at all as he ran straight to the tennis court.
If he had to sit next to that woman in class again, he would be driven crazy by her!
He raised his hand and took off his blazer before running around the tennis court.
One lap, two laps, three laps. In this early spring weather, the youth's body was covered in a thin layer of sweat. However, his footsteps didn't slow down at all as he continued running. Rather than saying that he was exercising, it was more accurate to say that he was madly venting something.
It wasn't enough, it wasn't enough at all. The voice in his head was still nagging non-stop. That woman's figure seemed to be branded on his retina, always appearing in front of him. Even if he closed his eyes, he couldn't escape.
His feet moved faster, as if he wanted to shake something off his body.
He didn't know how many laps he had run. When he looked to the side, an unfamiliar figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
It was a girl, who was picking up the blazer he had casually thrown to the side.
When he saw her long black hair, Atobe inexplicably let out a sigh of relief. However, in the next second, he felt a little awkward as if someone had seen him lose his composure.
He slowly stopped and turned to walk towards the girl.
"Blazer, it's wrinkled." She said indifferently as she raised her head to look at the youth walking towards her.
The moment he saw her face clearly, Atobe couldn't help but be stunned.
Although Ryuri Chiba's usual behavior was a little problematic, it was undeniable that she was a rare beauty. Even Atobe, who had always had gorgeous tastes, couldn't find any flaws in her appearance. However, the moment he saw this girl, Ryuri Chiba's face seemed to become much more ordinary in his mind.
It was a girl with black hair and black eyes. She was wearing the Ice Emperor's uniform vest and plaid skirt. The first button of her shirt wasn't properly buttoned, revealing the faint outline of her collarbone. She looked at him with a calm expression, but her eyebrows were excessively exquisite. The black and white in her clear eyes were clearly distinguished. Under her right eye, in the same position as his, there was a small mole on her porcelain-white skin. For some reason, it made her look even more seductive.
The girl's skin was extremely white. Coupled with her ink-black hair and black eyes, the contrast was so clear that it even made her look a little alluring. However, her eyes were calm and indifferent, as if she didn't have the slightest awareness of her beauty. She also didn't have any vigilance. She just stood there calmly, allowing others to amaze her or linger on her.
Untainted by the dust of the world, yet beautiful and moving. This was the first time Atobe realized that such contradictory words could be used on the same person at the same time.
But when did the school have such a beautiful girl? With her existence, shouldn't Ryuri Chiba's title as the Ice Emperor's Princess have changed hands a long time ago? Under the suppression of such a beauty, he didn't believe that the boys in the school would be willing to chase after Ryuri Chiba.
As if seeing his doubts, the corners of the girl's mouth curled up. She folded the jacket in her hand twice and put it back on the ground. After her hands were free, she looked up at the young man and smiled. "If you don't mind, come and play a game with me, Head of the Tennis Department."
As soon as she said that, Atobe was stunned again. He looked the person in front of him up and down. No matter how he looked at her, he couldn't see any talent in sports. However, her words didn't sound like a joke. She really wanted to play a friendly game of tennis with him.
"You?" Atobe couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "… Forget it, I'm not in the mood for that right now."
If it were any other time, he wouldn't have the heart to refuse such a beautiful girl's request. However, right now, his affairs were a mess and he didn't have a clue. Atobe wasn't in the mood to play tennis anymore.
"Come and give it a try. I'm looking forward to it." He didn't expect the girl to be so friendly. She took two steps forward and winked at the boy who was still standing in the same spot. Then, she walked around him and took the lead to the tennis department's lounge.
"…" For a moment, he was at a loss for words. Seeing the girl really walk in the direction of the lounge, Atobe frowned and could only raise his feet to follow her.
There were spare rackets and clean sportswear for the club members in the lounge. After he changed into his sports shoes and walked out of the door, he saw the girl using a racquet that he didn't know where to put it on the ground. The leather shoes on her feet tapped the ground as if she was beating a beat.
When he got closer, he heard the girl humming a song in a low nasal voice. Atobe hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you going to play with me like this?"
Other things aside, if she ran with leather shoes and sprained her ankle, would he still have to send her to the infirmary?
"Don't worry, a little exercise won't hurt me." Noticing the boy's gaze on her shoes, the girl, Su Yu, habitually curved the corner of her mouth and waved the racquet in her hand nonchalantly.
"… Forget it, I'll play with you for a little bit." Atobe rolled up his sleeves and said helplessly.
They thought that this would be a game of house, but they didn't expect that the girl who held the racket would have a completely different aura. She casually stood behind the net, but there was no flaw in her body, making it difficult for them to make a move.
Secretly surprised, Keigo Atobe threw the tennis ball in his hand. He wanted to casually play with her, but in the next second, his wrist instinctively pressed down and pulled out a Tang HuaiSe serve.
The bright yellow ball almost rubbed against the ground. Su Yu symbolically ran a few steps in that direction, but the ball that was about to stop bounced up on its own and hit her racquet!
"How is that possible, did I make a mistake …?!" Atobe's eyes widened, but he only saw the ball hit the ground next to him. His serve was obviously perfect, but the ball was hit back lightly. This was something he couldn't deny.
After the successful return, Su Yu raised the racquet in her hand and pointed it vertically at the boy on the other side of the net. Under the sunlight, her eyes flashed and the girl said softly, "0-15, thank you for letting me win, Atobe -sama."
"Not bad, you do have the qualifications to play with me." Atobe's eyes gradually lit up with a trace of interest. The pair of slightly sharp phoenix eyes stared at the girl across from him, "I'll be a little more serious."
The serve just now might be a coincidence, but who knows what will happen in the next game.
Although he thought so, after this time, the sound of shouting points never sounded again.
The girl's defense could be said to be watertight. It seemed to be impossible to make her lose points. However, in contrast to her amazing defense, her counterattack was worse than a novice's level. Almost every time, she hit straight ahead. After a long time, Atobe even had the illusion that he was playing against a server.
From the beginning to the end, the smile on Su Yu's face never disappeared. She always had a look of ease. In fact, this was indeed the case. With the "100% return racquet" in her hand, she didn't have to worry about how to play the game. Even if she immediately lay down, all the balls would automatically hit her racquet.
At that time, she saw that the protagonists in this world all liked to play tennis, so she casually brought this racquet. It was great.
After a long time, the boy on the opposite side, who had been tirelessly looking for new ways to attack, finally lost his physical strength. Fortunately, this was not a situation where he had to win. After throwing away the racquet in his hand, he just fell on the tennis court.
"That's it? It seems that Atobe -sama's physical strength still needs to be improved." Su Yu walked up to him and deliberately teased him.
The boy on the ground glanced at her lazily. Only then did he realize that the current angle was a bit strange. After turning his head, he said with some annoyance, "I don't need you to tell me what to do. Why didn't you attack just now, huh?"
"Because I don't know how to." Su Yu frankly admitted the truth. She gathered her skirt and sat down next to the boy, "How is it? Are you in a better mood now?"
"How can I not … How do you know I'm in a bad mood?" Atobe asked with some surprise. He thought that during the time he met the girl, his emotions were well controlled. Perhaps it was because he saw something pleasing to the eye, so the initial frustration dissipated a lot.
"Of course I know you're in a bad mood. I also know why you're in a bad mood." Su Yu hugged her knees and turned to look at the boy's face on the ground. Her black hair was like fine satin, sliding down her shoulders. "It's because of Ryuri Chiba, right?"
"…" Atobe was speechless for a moment. Although many people in the class should have known what happened just now, he didn't expect her to say it so directly. He was silent for a moment and nodded. "You saw what happened in the class just now?"
"More or less." Su Yu answered ambiguously. "I thought you two were close, but I saw you running here as soon as I came out."
Hearing her words, Atobe snorted from his nose.
"Atobe -kun, what do you think of classmate Chiba?" The girl suddenly asked.
Her calm eyes gazed at him, making it almost impossible for him to refuse.
"Chiba, huh? What a troublesome girl." At this time, his mood had gradually calmed down. Uncle Atobe commented with some disdain, "Hypocritical, superficial, self-righteous, but …"
But there would always be a moment when he suddenly felt that she was so dazzling that he couldn't look away, especially when he looked into her eyes. He would want to give the whole world to her.
But while he was involuntarily attracted to her, he was more aware of the fact that she looked like a piece of gold on the outside but was rotten on the inside. His rational evaluation was far from his true feelings, which made him feel as if he was suffering from schizophrenia.
But he really couldn't say such honest words to a girl he didn't know. Atobe raised his hand to touch the mole under his eye and stopped talking.
"What a ruthless evaluation." Su Yu chuckled again. The girl's curved eyebrows looked even more beautiful against the background of the blue sky and white clouds. "But sometimes I can't help but be attracted to her, especially when I look into her eyes. Why can't I look away?"
"…" Hearing that the girl had almost completely guessed his feelings, the expression on Atobe's face became a little strange. He looked at her suspiciously and admitted, "How did you know?"
"I can see it from your face, Master Atobe. Your feelings and thoughts are written clearly," she said in a teasing tone, and there was no expression of admiration on her face like that of ordinary students. "But isn't such contradictory feelings also a kind of love? Just admiring a person's appearance is also a kind of love, isn't it?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, the youth immediately refuted this conclusion. "How is that possible? Love is not such a superficial thing."
"And, if admiring a person's appearance can be called love," Atobe suddenly changed the topic, and a pair of sharp eyes stared at the girl's side face. "I think you're more suitable."
Her words sounded flirtatious, but when one of them looked at her with a sharp gaze and the other with an indifferent expression, she didn't feel anything. After a moment of silence, Su Yu suddenly said, "So, do you want to try dating?"
"…" For a moment, Atobe didn't know what to say. His eyes widened, and the exploration in his eyes was covered by surprise.
Did this girl really know what she was talking about? Why did he feel that she didn't mean it at all?!
"Haha, I'm just kidding." But in the next second, the girl laughed again. She raised her hand and stretched, then stood up from the ground. "Okay, I've skipped class for so long, I have to go back to the classroom."
"What …" Seeing that the girl really stood up quickly, Atobe quickly propped himself up. The soreness in his body had not subsided, and such a simple action was a little slow. "Hey, what's your name?"
He just remembered this. After playing for so long, he still didn't know the girl's name.
But that person just straightened her skirt, waved at him, and walked away just like that.
