Chapter 59
Chapter 60
For a whole winter vacation, under the temptation of Ximu's cake, Marui agreed to practice with Kuwabara with Ximu and Liu. After training for a holiday, Ximu and Liu finally mastered the Australian formation.Anyway, this is the last chance for the third graders. The singles are all played by the seniors of the third graders. For the freshmen of the first graders, they still have many opportunities.Shibata and Suzuki attach the most importance to the cultivation of mixed doubles. They were selected as training targets among the first-year freshmen with great difficulty. I hope they will not disappoint them.

This is Ximu's first formal contact with doubles. Previously in mixed doubles, there were doubles players who cooperated with her. Most of the time, she was positioned as singles.Although Liu was originally a doubles player, he mainly focused on singles in the later stage, so his experience in doubles is not very rich.It is still very difficult for these two people to master the Australian formation. Only then did Ximu think of looking for national-level partners Marui and Kuwahara to give them special training. Of course, the coach needs to be paid. Ximu promised to treat them to cake every day. Only then agreed.Sang Yuan is an honest man, Ximu asked him to ask him and he agreed, and of course Ximu didn't forget to give him a piece of cake.

Not long after the start of the new semester, the regional qualifiers for the national competition began, and the mixed doubles combination of Yanagi and Xiki became a regular team, and even Yukimura and Sanada may not be able to play in every game.It can be said that Ximu and Liu are both data-oriented talents, with strong analytical skills, and Liu's ability to collect data is even more top-notch. Liu can quickly answer any questions Ximu asks. It is not unreasonable for his teammates to call him master .Ximu's insight can see the opponent's blind spots in the game, and the tacit understanding between the two has increased a lot after a period of running-in.The regional qualifiers are no problem for Li Haida, and it is not difficult to win the championship in the Kanagawa region.

Lihai University has a very high status in Kanto. There are a lot of trophies in the club activity room of the tennis department. There are so many trophies that it can hardly fit. The school transferred all the trophies won many years ago.In this year's Kanto Competition, Lihai University met St. Rudolph Middle School in the first round, and Xi Muchai Guanyue and others should also participate in the competition.Sure enough, the former St. Rudolph's team members were directly promoted to St. Rudolph's high school. Guan Yue and others were really surprised when they saw Cangye Ximu in the Lihai camp.Liu Ze babbled a lot of "Why did you say that in Lihai?" "It's too incredible"... Ximu gave him a blank look, is it necessary to be so surprised?That's too much.

Contrary to Ximu's expectation, Guanyue actually played in the mixed doubles match. With his temper, it was really unexpected for Ximu to play doubles with others.Guanyue proudly reached out and inserted her hand into her hair, and made a very ecstatic gesture. As the enemy of the genius, Zhou Zhu, he must defeat him in a dignified way.Guanyue got the news that Buer will play in the mixed doubles. In order to meet Buer, Guanyue contacted the mixed doubles at all costs.Ximu stood in front of the net and looked at Guanyue for a full minute. This person's narcissism complex cannot be ignored, even more so than Jingwu Atobe. No wonder some people called him the queen when he was in junior high school.The corner of Guanyue's mouth raised a smile and kept laughing, Ximu reminded helplessly: "Although I'm sorry to disturb your meditation, but queen, can you start serving?" The referee has already announced the start of the game, Sheng Rudolph served first, but Guan Yue kept standing outside the baseline, as if he thought the game hadn't started yet.

Guanyue gave Ximu a hard look, and then started to serve. Before 15 minutes had passed, Lihai defecated to end the first round. Liu and Ximu swept Guanyue perfectly with a 6-0 record without losing a single point. Yue was so angry that Guan Yue pulled his hair.But it's useless no matter how hard he pulls, even if he pulls all of them, he won't be able to break the Australian formation.

In the semi-finals, Li Haida met Chiba area champion Rokkaku Middle School, Hyodi and Aokai Division in the semi-finals.The players in Liujiao are basically old faces, and Saeki and others are directly promoted to the high school of Liujiao Middle School. Kihiko kept exhaling and asked: "Aren't you the manager of Qinggaku? Why did you go to Lihai University? ""Why are you wearing Li Haida's uniform?" Xi Mu looked at Zuo Bo sadly, did he make a mistake?Why did you catch this problem in the first place?Seeing that Ximu didn't continue to ask, Xiaoshu smiled wryly, "Uh... because of many reasons..." Saeki, who was understanding, stopped Kihiko from asking questions one after another.

Thinking of this, Ximu thought back to the day when her grandma forced her to transfer to Lihai University. Although life in the new school was better than she expected, Ximu still did not forget that this was not her original intention. This point became clearer, and Xi Mu fell into deep thought.Without even noticing the start of the game, Yukimura had a panoramic view of Ximu's performance, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.It wasn't until Liu called her during the warm-up that Ximu regained his composure.Liu vaguely guessed something, since the last time she met Ximu in Tokyo, she mentioned to him about studying at Lihai University, Ximu's expression revealed an indescribable bitterness, the regional qualifiers began , I slowly met people I knew, and everyone reported that they didn't understand Ximu's study at Lihai University. Ximu also had unspeakable difficulties in her heart, but she never mentioned it to anyone.

As the warm-up began, Ximu forced himself to concentrate on the tennis match, feeling unspeakably lonely.Liujiao’s mixed doubles players are Saeki and Yoshida. Saeki is easy-going and insightful, so he is very suitable to be a partner. Yoshida used to be a doubles player in the women’s tennis team of Liujiao Junior High School. Later, because his partner transferred to another school, he played mixed doubles with Saeki.In the beginning, Saeki and Yoshida were obviously at a disadvantage. Ximu intercepted almost all the balls in the frontcourt, occasionally missed a few balls and was saved by Liu.As a partner, Liu noticed that Ximu was slightly absent-minded, so he hit the ball silently without saying anything, because there are some things that need to be overcome by himself.

With Ximu's beautiful smash, Lihaida advanced to the final with a 4-0 record.After the match, Ximu picked up his tennis bag and went to another venue to watch the match between Bingdi and Qingxue.The others didn't go, watching Ximu's back as he almost escaped, not knowing what happened.The eyes of Yukimura and Liu seemed to be able to see through her, she was afraid of this feeling, so she didn't dare to look directly, Ximu left on the pretext of going to Qingxue's game.Liu said nothing with a sullen face, silently picked up the tennis bag, and went to the venue for another semi-final match.

These two schools can be said to be enemies on the court. Since the third year of junior high school, Ice Emperor and Qingxue have always had a fierce battle. The Kanto competition is the same, and the national competition is also the same. I am afraid this time it cannot be avoided.When Ximu rushed to the stadium, the game had just begun. The first thing to show was the battle of the emperors. The king of the ice emperor Keigo Atobe faced the emperor of Aigaku Tezuka Kunimitsu.The two met in the Kanto Contest last year and dedicated a wonderful match, which is still regarded as a classic battle after a long time.This battle of kings was wonderful. As the kings of the tennis world, the two presented an unprecedented match for the audience. Tezuka's elbow and shoulder injuries were completely healed after treatment, but if Tezuka didn't pay attention to protection, it would be very dangerous There may be a relapse of an old injury.

Ximu had already reminded Tezuka of this point, but she knew Tezuka's temper very well, and she knew more and more clearly that once encountering a strong enemy, Tezuka would still accept their challenge without hesitation.What should I say about him?Firm persistent belief is a double-edged sword!Tezuka's selfless state became more and more mature. Facing Atobe's strong attack, Tezuka unreservedly showed his own strength, and finally Tezuka narrowly won the tie-break, beating Atobe 7-6.Although he lost, Atobe was very happy. The battle of the strong is bound to lose.Everyone present applauded for them, Xi Mu temporarily forgot the previous displeasure, and fully integrated into this fierce competition.

The people in Lihai standing in the distance completely took Ximu's expression into their eyes, and the sensitive people had already sensed Ximu's intentions. Cangye Ximu has not really trusted them until now. To Ximu, they are just Ordinary friends, but Qingxue is different from others, they are partners fighting side by side.Ximu didn't blend in with them. On the surface, Ximu was very friendly to everyone, but it was this kindness that put on a mask for her. She set up a fence in her heart. It seemed that only people she trusted She will open the fence.However, they asked themselves, did they regard her as a trustworthy friend?Ximu knew that it was impossible for him to integrate into their fairly united group so quickly, staying at the preliminary level of understanding, without a deep understanding and understanding of each other.People always have a certain gap with people they can't fully trust. Just a few months is not enough to know the essence of a person, not to mention that sometimes the people who betray you are the closest people, which makes people hard to guard against.

Ximu trusts everyone in Qingxue, just like everyone in Lihai University trusts each other, but Ximu was unprepared for the sudden transfer of another school, and basically just acquaintances with everyone in Lihai University.The members of Qingxue hold an extremely important position in her heart, and they obviously haven't risen to that level yet.There is also a strong bond between them, and it is not easy to blend in.Mutual trust between each other, and the process of building trust is very long.As soon as Ximu saw his friends, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. Seeing Qingxue beat Bingdi with a total score of 4-1, Ximu was sincerely happy for them.

Kikumaru, who has excellent dynamic vision, saw Ximu in the auditorium, and Kikumaru happily waved to Ximu. "Congratulations!" Ximu said with a smile, the big cat was hanging on her body and rubbed back and forth, Ximu smiled dotingly, I really miss this feeling! "How about Lihai University's game?" Qian didn't miss any chance to collect data, Xi Mu waved his hand: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...4-0"Ximu Mu said casually, and quickly recorded it in the notebook, Li Haida was still as strong as ever. "Ximu, Kawamura invited us to eat sushi today, let's go together!" Fuji invited with a smile, Ximu smiled, "I'm afraid not, I have something to do tonight." After her piano lesson, grandma directly added painting to her Because Ximu has already decided to study architecture in the future, he must have the foundation of painting. "Since you don't have time, you can take some of the Ximu home." Hecun scratched his head honestly and said honestly. "Then I won't be polite..." Ximu said cheerfully, "Ximu, are you still used to it in Lihai University?" While waiting for the sushi, Ximu asked with concern, his eyes dimmed, "Is it okay?" Alright!" Buer raised his hand and rubbed Ximu's hair, "If you have any unhappy things, you can come to us at any time, Qingxue will always be your backing." Ximu's eyes softened, and he said softly: "Thank you" Soso, if someone bullies Ximu, just tell me, I will definitely teach him a lesson." Juwan suddenly interjected, and Ximu smiled helplessly: "Who will bully me?" There are many boys in the tennis club, basically He still has a sense of gentlemanly demeanor, who would bully girls?Kikumaru thought for a while, and found the most vicious one: "Sanada Genichiro, he looks the toughest, and his swordsmanship is so powerful..." Dashi hurriedly stopped and said: "Eiji" Ximu said with a smile: "Eiji, Sanada Genichiro Although Ichiro is a serious person, I don't think he would bully me, generally speaking he is a very gentlemanly person and would not do such a thing." Tezuka said quietly when everyone was laughing After saying a word, "You can come back to us at any time." Ximu smiled, "I will." Tezuka's eyes softened a little, Ximu took the sushi from Kawamura, thanked him, and left.The warm atmosphere is still the same, the atmosphere that makes her feel at ease, everyone is still like this, it hasn't changed at all!Xi Mu seemed to have gotten rid of the previous shadow, and sat on the car home in a good mood.

"King! Lihai is big! Let"s go!" Let "s go! Lihaida!" The cheers from the cheerleading team outside the stadium kept coming. Ximu was not used to this loud cheering. The shouting from Lihaida's cheerleading team reminded her of Bingdi's cheerleading team. Strong teams have a strong cheerleading squad as their backing.Li Haida has always been known for its rigorous style, and the training of the cheerleading team is also rigorous. Cheering on the sidelines in an orderly manner will not hinder the competition of the main election. It is indeed a well-trained cheerleading team.It's just that Ximu is not used to the loud voices in his ears. There is a certain distance between the players' seats and the outside of the field, but the voice of the cheerleaders is right next to his ears.

In addition to Shibata Minister, Suzuki Haruka and Sakai Eka Aida Misa women's doubles team in the third grade, Noriko Ando and Matsui in the second grade, the rest are first-year players.The first men's singles match was played by Minister Shibata himself. Minister Shibata is still very famous in the middle school tennis world. Suzuki Haruka is preparing to enter the professional tennis, and his strength is even more extraordinary.The two defeated their respective opponents within 15 minutes. In the men's doubles, Nioh and Yagyu played.The seemingly gentle gentleman also has huge explosive potential in his body, and the opponent is completely suppressed.And the most powerful pair in the opponent camp is the mixed doubles. This pair of mixed doubles is brother and sister Sagi who are twins of dragon and phoenix.

The Samu brothers and sisters are not very strong when they are separated, and it is difficult to occupy a place in singles, but the doubles is different. Undoubtedly a formidable enemy for freshmen.At the beginning of the game, the two sides shook hands friendly, and the corner of his brother Sagi's mouth curled up into a smile, "It's not an honor to be able to play against Li Haida's master." Maybe I can't beat you in singles, but it's a pity that this is a doubles match, and it's mine. world!Seeing his meaningful smile, Liu said calmly, "I'm sorry." Xi Mu curled his lips, provoking openly if he had the courage, but swallowed the words back, which is really boring.

Xi Mu's eyes showed a cold light, he quickly saw the blind spots of the Zuo Mu brothers and sisters, and attacked just right.Even so, they couldn't win the game quickly. The Zuomu brothers and sisters knew very well where their dead ends were, and when Ximu attacked, another person made up for it.As expected of a national-level player, Ximu praised him in his heart for making up for the surprise attack in time.But the thought in Zuo Mu's heart was, who is this girl?Why can you see their blind spots clearly?The Zuomu brothers and sisters mainly focus on doubles, and they have a very clear understanding of doubles players. However, singles is different. The two of them have no idea what singles players are, so they don't have any impression of the recent rise of Ximu.

"The probability of a straight ball is 80%." Liu said this and at the same time he hit a swipe ball sharply towards the gap between the two. "Good... so fast ball" Sister Sagi stared at the ball in disbelief, her eyes widened.Ximu smiled lightly, this is not Liu's full strength, if he is surprised now, he will be even more powerless to fight back.The elder brother Zuo Mu murmured: "Is this Li Hai's strength?" "No, if you think this is Li Hai's strength, you are totally mistaken." aroused their ambitions.

"3-3" The referee reported the score vigorously. Liu and Ximu sat on the chairs and drank water. Yukimura smiled and said: "Liu, Ximu, we want to win the game!" Before Ximu could answer, Liu immediately spoke. Said: "Of course" Ximu sighed in his heart, seeing your smile, dare I say no?Ximu used all volleys in the frontcourt, and he didn't use his unique skills at all.Facing the strong attack of the Samu brothers and sisters, Liu and Ximu began to change their strategies. When the opponent served the ball, they switched positions.

Since you switch back and forth, then I will attack left and right, this is what brother Sagi thinks now.However, he underestimated Liu and Ximu's ability to move left and right. Zuo Mu hit the ball in the opposite direction to Liu, and it was absolutely impossible to save the ball from where Liu was standing near the sideline.When he blinked, Ximu quickly ran forward from the bottom line, Ximu's eyes narrowed, and his right hand was suddenly clenched.Oops, she was about to attack fiercely, Zuo Mu winked at his sister, and the two quickly retreated to the bottom line.What surprised them was that Ximu actually played a short ball. Based on their years of tennis experience, 99% of the balls hit in that situation were heavy balls. How could it be a short ball?Xi Mu, who had a panoramic view of the two people's expressions, closed his eyes, this is called a soldier who never tires of cheating.

Liu attacked like a fish in water in the frontcourt, and the Sagi brothers and sisters tried their best to catch his ball, but they only managed to save part of it.Zuo Mu aimed at Liu's gap and attacked, and the flower ball brushed his feet and entered the court, and then the referee's voice sounded, "The game is over, the Liu Ximu combination won 6-4."

Ximu looked at Liu sadly, since the seventh inning, she never touched the ball again, and let Liu catch all of them, without missing any of them.Military division... Although it is hateful for Zuo Mu to underestimate you, you can't do that if you want to take revenge, right?Sure enough, the majesty of the king does not allow anyone to offend.
