Chapter 22: Rescuing the Depressed Dragon Horse

  Ryoma got off the car and walked towards that direction, dejectedly holding his head with a gloomy expression, listlessly watching two girls hitting tennis balls, looking at his face with an adorable expression, her fatigue was swept away, smiling faintly at the small figure, softly calling out: "Echizen!"

  It's said that Ryoma Echizen is very depressed today! It's obviously the weekend, he should be able to sleep in, but instead he was dragged out of bed by that old man, saying he wants him to be someone else's tennis coach?! He doesn't want to be any kind of coach at all! Clearly it was supposed to be himself, yet he pushed it onto his own shoulders!

  Watching the two of them swing their rackets without any flair, he was really fed up, depressed and bored! Why did he have to accompany these two girls here doing such utterly boring things?! That stinky old man would only sell him out! With a sullen face, listlessly staring at the ground, occasionally lifting his head to say a few words to them.

  Sigh... when can I leave already!!!!!!!

  Just as he was feeling depressed, he heard someone calling him, and the voice... He suddenly lifted his head, looking at that elegant figure like a chrysanthemum, his depression swept away, joy surging up in his heart!

  It's her! I didn't expect to see her at a time like this! He changed his mind this time! Thanks to the old stinker today!! Tonight, I won't fight with him for grilled fish anymore!!!!!

  "Kawaki, what are you doing here?" Koshiro hurriedly stood up and ran to her front.

  Although he looked a bit awkward, his small face was still filled with joy. Akane Matsu's blue eyes were full of smile, "I came to play with my friend, and on the way back home, I saw you, so I came over to take a look. What are you doing here?"

  Is she seeing herself coming over? As he walked forward, a thread of indescribable joy rose in his heart. Seeing the full smile in her eyes, he seemed to be infected by her too, and his lips curled up. But when she asked him what he was doing, his little face suddenly fell, as black as the bottom of a pot! It made Mu Xi Yan laugh uncontrollably.

  "Long Ma SAMA!" The two of them were originally getting along well, and being able to spend the weekend with Long Ma SAMA was such a happy thing. But then, out of nowhere, a beautiful woman appeared, and she seemed to be on very good terms with Long Ma SAMA! The two women couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

  "Ryoma Sama! Who is she?!" shouted Kobayakawa Tomoka, pointing at Sagisawa Fumi with her hands on her hips.

  "Tomoka... Ryūsaki Sakuno carefully pulls her, Ryōma-kun's face is very dark..."

  She gazed faintly at Toma Ryuzaki and Sakuno Ryūzaki. As for this anime, she only remembered some of the bigger matches, and didn't recall any of the smaller scenes. It seemed like they were teaching them tennis now.

  "Hello, I'm Katsuragi Renko..." Renko Katsuragi smiled faintly as she introduced herself, the curve of her pretty lips somehow warming the hearts of those around her.

  "Ah, hello, I'm Ryūma-kun's classmate, Ryūzaki Sakuno..."

  On the other side, Kosaka Tomoka slowly withdrew her hand, she had always been a bit dull and slow to react to external stimuli, but today, why did she feel so boorish, yelling at such an elegant girl who was like a chrysanthemum in autumn, without any image? And rudely pointing at her.

  But she was met with a polite and elegant smile, and for the first time, she knew what it meant to blush.

  "I'm Kosaka Tsubomi! I'm the number one fan of Ryoma Sama's cheering squad!" Kosaka Tsubomi held her chin high, clearly very proud of this fact.

  Qingmu Xiang simply smiled calmly and didn't say anything else.

  It was Ryoma who looked even darker, as if he was dissatisfied that the two girls had stolen his attention. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Kaido Akira gently take the racket from his hand and put it in the tennis bag, zip up the zipper, help him put on the tennis bag, and then pull his hand, looking at Ryozaki Sakuno and Kobayakawa Tsubasa. "The sun is about to set, can I walk with Echizen?"

  They've already helped pack up the tennis bag and are holding hands with them before coming to politely ask.

  Ryoma Echizen stared blankly as she helped him gather his tennis bag and even carried it for him, feeling the softness of her hand holding his, pulling down his hat to hide the unconscious curve of his lips, and hearing her words made a hint of a smile flash in his cat-like eyes. Was she here to rescue him?

  Kosaka Tsubaki was taken aback, looking at her with a pair of pure and inquiring eyes, and nodded subconsciously, "Oh, okay..."

  The corners of Akane's mouth rose slightly in a faint smile, truly an innocent girl. If she were a seasoned supporter, how could she let someone take away the object of her admiration and adoration? "Thanks, Koshi, let's go."

  Ryoma Echizen nodded his head. He couldn't wait to leave.

  Kobayashi Tomoka stood there in a daze, while Ryūzaki Sakuno looked on with a heartbroken expression as he and she walked further and further away. Even she could feel the joy and relief emanating from Irie... Did he like that girl?

  Iwaki looked at her carrying his tennis bag and said reluctantly, "Uh, I'll take the bag."

  Kamado Nezuko smiled and said, "No way, Tanjiro's little sister, carrying this bag on your back looks like it's a big burden for you"

  "I'm not short! I'll grow taller!" Ryoma glared at her, annoyed. Was she also teasing him about his height? He was definitely going to drink a lot of milk when he got home!!!!! How infuriating!!!!!

  "Hehe, whether or not Koshiro is short doesn't matter, I think he's even more likable when he's small." Sawamura's eyebrows and eyes curved into a smile, and Koshiro's anger dissipated completely.

  "Really?" Koshi Retsu muttered, her voice barely audible. Was she saying that she liked him? Her heart was filled with an inexplicable sense of anticipation.

  He looked at him with a smile that was so bright it lit up the whole world, "Really!" What an adorable expression. Hehe.

  "If only Wakatoshi had always been this small, I would have liked it"

  Is what she said really true? As he grew up, Ryoma Echizen became more and more like Ryoma Echizen, not cute at all, although very cool and handsome. However, she still liked the cute and delicate Ryoma Echizen.

  She has always wanted a little brother whom she can spoil for life, and Yuan is just that.

  Iwaki looked at her bright smile, lowered his head. Does she like him this way? Then he didn't want to grow up! He thought... of being the kind of person she likes. Raising his head again, looking at her elegant and lovely face, her blue eyes full of smiles, he thought he wouldn't regret making this decision, he wanted to spend a lifetime by her side.

  But if you knew what Akane Motomiya truly thought in her heart, I wonder what kind of thoughts would arise?

  However, what Wakatoshi didn't know was that from then on, Koshi refused everything that could make him grow taller, just to maintain his current figure. All because she said she liked the small him...

  But how can human body growth be restrained just by saying so?

  A gentle breeze blew, sweeping over two people of different heights, occasionally a few strands of golden hair fluttering against the small face of the person beside her, making his little heart itch, looking up at her with focused and tender eyes... The two silhouettes were indeed harmonious...

  But if you ignore the sneaky person following behind...

  A hedgehog head closely followed behind the two people, glasses flashing with a burst of light, hands constantly writing and drawing, mouth murmuring: IchiRuki...
