Masked Prince of Tennis

Chapter 17
Vaguely, I seem to feel that the person holding me is calling my name.That voice is somewhat familiar. Is it Han Chengnan?I guessed in my heart that my ears seemed to be plugged with something. Although I could hear someone calling my name, it was only a very weak voice.

If it's Han Chengnan, I should apologize to him!Yes indeed!

Because of this sudden thought, I began to struggle to open my eyes.

Eyes that have been in the dark for a long time suddenly see the sun, it is really uncomfortable!
its not right!It was night when I waited for Han Chengnan to come back!Why is the light so dazzling at night?Is it a lamp?But how could the light emit a warm breath?

Gradually, my eyes seemed to get used to the light, and they opened slowly.However, when I opened my eyes to see my surroundings clearly, I suddenly wanted to close my eyes again.

Because the moment I adjusted to the sunlight and opened my eyes, I saw...a person.If it weren't for my current situation and my current identity, I should be very happy to see such a person, right?After all, how many girls' dream princes appeared in front of them!A perfect face, a sunny smile, a smart mind...everything about him seemed so perfect.However, the fly in the ointment is that I am not in the mood to appreciate this kind of perfection at all.Just seeing this guy is enough to make me shudder!
His sentence "Miss Xiaoyou" yesterday is still spinning in my head.This guy with the face of an angel looks like a devil to me.

"I must be dreaming..."

I must be dreaming, right?Probably because I was too stimulated yesterday, that's why I had such a nightmare.I still close my eyes, and then open them again, probably the nightmarish demon in front of me will disappear.

However, when I closed my eyes hard, and then opened them suddenly... that nightmare-like demon was still in front of me.After that, I chose to close my eyes again.

"God! Let this dream end quickly!" I muttered in a low voice.

"Xiaoyou, it's not good not to face reality!" Just as I was praying in my heart that everything in front of me was a dream, a devilish voice broke my fantasy.

I jumped to my feet.

"You...I...that..."

The instant I jumped up, I saw where I was.This...is not the door where I waited for Han Chengnan, nor my dormitory, this is it?I looked confusedly at that nightmarish demon Xia Yehan that I really didn't want to see.

"Because I saw you sleeping outside the dormitory building yesterday, I thought you were pitiful, so I brought you back! However, your weight is far more than what you look like!" He proudly sat on the sofa not far from me sat down.Why is there a sofa here?Are there sofas in the dormitory?Forget it, maybe it's the school's special treatment for top students!
This guy... His mouth is almost more vicious than Han Chengnan's.

"Even...since it feels heavy, why did you bring me back?" I said confidently.

"I can't see you sleeping at the door while shaking, right?" His tone was full of helplessness.

Although the helplessness in his tone made me very uncomfortable, his words still made me more or less feel that he was actually doing it for my own good!
Everyone said he was a dangerous person!But such a dangerous person hugged me back because he couldn't see me falling asleep outside the door trembling.What kind of person is he?Could it be that everyone misunderstood him?Could it be that everyone didn't understand him, or didn't want to understand him at all?Could it be that he is the kind-hearted person mentioned in the comic book who likes to hide his heart, but he has not been discovered by everyone.

Suddenly, I seemed to really want to get to know him, although I knew it might be unrealistic.

"Okay! Thank you! I see, I'd better go back!"

Although I think he may be kind or have an unknown side, but in my current situation, how can I be in the mood.What about the courage and the time to understand these things?Although, I'm still curious.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Since you are already in my dormitory, let's take a good look around! Besides, it can give us more time to be alone!" He showed his devilish true colors again.

Just now I thought he might be kind, and I thought it must be crazy to want to understand him.

"I don't think it's necessary! I actually have something else to do." I said cautiously.

"Let me guess what's going to happen to our classmate Xiaoyou! The way you looked yesterday, you must be waiting for someone? I guess, you may be waiting for a certain roommate surnamed Han?"

Xia Yehan seems to really like talking next to others, is he afraid that others won't hear him like this?Because he was too close to me, to be precise, he was talking next to my ear.Because it was so close, I seemed to feel his breathing.

"I...how am I waiting for someone?" I said guiltily.

The most dangerous thing about this guy is that he can see everything. Is he the roundworm in my stomach?It's okay to see that I'm waiting for someone, but who knows that I'm waiting?
"Really? Then, do you like Xiaonan?" He said such a shocking and weeping words.

Although his words always surprise me, what I didn't expect is that this time is too surprising, right?
"How is it possible!" What would be the result of being too surprised?It's just too loud to control.

He must be the roundworm in my stomach.Do you know this kind of thing?Otherwise, have I written everything on my face?

"Isn't it possible?" He asked me a rhetorical question charmingly.

"I... I'm a boy! How can a boy be with a boy..." I shouted excitedly, and showed him the student ID card I carried with me. I pointed to the word "male" on the gender column and kept on He emphasized that he is a boy.

I'm a boy, I'm a boy... Until now, I almost believe that I am a boy, why doesn't he believe it?What did I do to make him so sure that I was a girl?
"I didn't say you're not a boy either! Xiaoyou!" He smiled smugly.

His visibly victorious face made me very angry, yes, I was angry, and the atmosphere wanted to leave my palm on his smug face.However, I gritted my teeth and held back.

"I think I still don't have time to discuss this with you! I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first." I was anxious to get away from this dangerous guy, but when I took two steps...

A force behind me abruptly pulled me back.

Not surprisingly, I fell backwards.

Although I knew I would fall backwards, I didn't seem to be worried that I would fall at all.what is the reason?Because I know someone will catch me.

There should be only me and Xia Yehan in this room.However, if I believe that someone will catch me, does that mean I believe in Xia Yehan?

I was a little surprised at my inexplicable trust in that dangerous man.Why do you believe that he will catch me?Because he saw me cold and believed me when he brought me back?

In fact, I still believe in my heart that he is kind!As for why, I can't say clearly, perhaps, this is a kind of blind trust!
Xia Yehan didn't disappoint me, he caught me.

At this moment, should I smile, excited that he has lived up to my trust?maybe!However, Han Chengnan didn't give me a chance to smile and get excited.

He was obviously with Xia Yehan, why did another Han Chengnan run out?This all seems very unusual, but it happened.

The moment Xia Yehan caught me who fell backwards, the door of Xia Yehan's dormitory was opened, and the person standing at the door was none other than my dear roommate, classmate Han Chengnan.

The moment he saw Xia Yehan and me, his expression almost changed drastically.Originally, an upside-down character suddenly appeared on the face that should be expressionless.

Those eyes, which were not considered small, were wide open, and the mouth was so wide that several eggs could be stuffed into it.

"you……"

Did he misunderstand again?
(3)

Obviously, the expression on his face proved that he... really misunderstood.

Yesterday's misunderstanding has not been explained clearly. If there is another misunderstanding today, there must be no way to clean up the trouble.I must explain clearly.

"Sorry to interrupt."

Just when I was about to explain, Han Chengnan closed the door and left after saying such a sentence.

How can he go?
Because of his departure, the next second, I rushed out unconsciously.

This time, Xia Yehan didn't hold me back, or maybe he felt that I might not be pulled back so easily by him this time!

Where will Han Chengnan go?

Although I felt that I was chasing him out in the next second, but when I was chasing him out, I still didn't see that guy's figure.

Has he returned to the dormitory?
I opened the door of the dormitory with a glimmer of hope, but when I opened the door, there was only disappointment in my heart.

The room was empty, and his bedding was completely untouched. He... didn't come back last night?

I don't know why, seeing such a room, I suddenly felt like crying out loud.

How aggrieved I was by his misunderstanding!How painful it is for me to hide my identity!Sometimes, I feel like I am the hardest and unluckiest person in the world!However, because there is a guy named Han Chengnan by my side, I feel that this is actually not bad.But... I would be really sad if this guy was gone.

Thinking of this, my tears flowed out involuntarily.

Although she shed tears, she still wanted to find Han Chengnan very much in her heart, so she ran out again.

Because it was past five o'clock in the morning, there was no one in the campus yet.With such a tall stature, Han Chengnan should be an easy target to be noticed.

When I ran all over the school and was about to give up, I suddenly saw Han Chengnan panting against a big tree.

I ran over without thinking.

"Han..." Just when I was about to call his name, he suddenly wanted to run away when he saw me.

"Don't run away, okay? Let's talk clearly, okay?" I said loudly to Han Chengnan, who was already turning his back to escape.

Because I have cried, because I am still crying, my voice trembled a little.

"You..." I don't know if it was because I heard my words, or because I heard my crying voice, Han Chengnan turned around.

He didn't seem to think that I would cry at all. After he turned around and saw me crying, he suddenly seemed at a loss.

"Maybe you don't believe it, but please believe it, there is really nothing wrong between me and him." As I said, tears slowly rolled down the corners of my eyes and along the tear stains on my cheeks.Although the voice was crying, I also tried my best to let him feel my affirmative tone.

"You and him have nothing to do with me." His expression was obviously still very confused because of my tears, but his tone was still cold.

Has nothing to do with him?He was obviously very angry!

"Then you, don't be angry, okay?" There was a lot of grievance in my voice.

Perhaps it was because of the coldness in his voice that I couldn't explain what I thought was a simple explanation.

"I'm not angry." His tone was still cold, or rather colder than before.Did I say something wrong again?
The four big characters "I'm very angry" are clearly written on the face, but the inside of the mouth just refuses to admit it.

"Then, why didn't you come back last night?" I felt a little uncomfortable about his denial.

Why can't he be honest about how he feels?Say he cares, isn't that good?Pretend not to care, pretend not to care, not only will he be unhappy, even I will be very sad!
"It has nothing to do with you." He still maintained a cold attitude.

This attitude is like a sharp sword, piercing my heart fiercely.A simple sentence of "has nothing to do with you" seems to have driven me into another world completely isolated from him.

"If it's okay, I'm leaving first." When my tears were still streaming, Han Chengnan unexpectedly dropped such a sentence, and was about to turn around and leave.

"You, must it be like this?" Although my voice was trembling from crying, it was still very clear and penetrating in such an empty campus.

He turned his back to me and didn't look back, but the footsteps that were about to leave stopped because of my words.

"Is it comfortable to talk so coldly all the time? Why don't you listen to my explanation? Is it good to keep fighting like this? Can you stop fighting like a child?" I said loudly to his back.

"If that's all you have to say, then so be it!" He took a halting pace.

"Han Chengnan..." I wanted to stop him, but he had already left.

I stood there in a daze, not knowing why, so I could only stand stupidly.

I don't know what I did wrong, and I don't know what Han Chengnan is thinking!
Originally, it was a simple matter, but now it has become extremely complicated.Originally, the problem that I thought could be solved easily, now seems to be more and more difficult to solve.

Han Chengnan... What happened between us?

"There shouldn't be a boy who would cry like this!" As these words reached my ears, a tissue appeared in front of my eyes.

I looked up and saw the man standing next to me.The first conflict between me and Han Chengnan was because of this guy, right?Although the relationship with Han Chengnan became more and more tense, I never thought about hating this guy named Xia Yehan.Although I am very afraid of this person named Xia Yehan, I have never hated him.

"you……"

My tears are still flowing, I can't control it, it's like a broken faucet that can't be turned off.

"I was just worried about you, so I chased after you to take a look. I didn't expect to see something I shouldn't have seen." His tone was very calm, and he didn't feel guilty about eavesdropping on others.

Are you worried about me?Can he be trusted?I don't know, but I still choose to believe.I took the tissue he handed me and wiped away the tears that kept pouring out.

"Why are you worried about me? Because we are friends, or something else..." Inexplicably, I asked such a question.

"Friends?" Suddenly, Xia Yehan's usual expressionless face showed a smile.

What was hidden in his seemingly indifferent smile, I seemed to understand in an instant.Was that the feeling he was trying to hide?Alone, cold, or something more.

"Isn't it?" My heart ached again.Are we... not even friends?
"Maybe! I don't know either. Go back as soon as you finish crying! After all, the tennis club's morning practice time is coming soon." He turned and left.

He seemed to be trying to avoid questions about "friends", just like Han Chengnan was avoiding me.

What happened to them...?
I thought I knew them well, but today I suddenly discovered that I actually don't know them very well.I thought they were just used to cover up their real emotions with other emotions, but now I find that although I understand this, I have neglected to understand what their real emotions are.
