After the dinner, the Atobe couple sent off the guests one by one, leaving only the Asahina family to live in the guest-only wing.When Baili returned to the room, he saw the gifts piled up on the carpet in the house. The outer packaging of the gifts had been removed. Butler Ida screened the gifts for Baili in advance, and brought all the gifts from the tennis club and Asahina's house. The gift is to pick out the ones that Baili might like before taking them into the room.

Baili first changed out of his bound suit and put on the usual Rintaro T-shirt, then sat cross-legged on the carpet and began to look at the presents.

But before he could read a few, he was interrupted by a knock on the door, a little surprised that anyone could come to him at such a late hour, Baili said: "Come in."

To Baili's surprise, it was Koichi Atobe who walked in. Even after a day of socializing, he was still meticulous in his attire, without any imperfections.

As soon as Takaichi Atobe opened the door, he saw his youngest son sitting on the carpet looking at him with a puzzled face, holding a game disc that he didn't know much about.Takaichi Atobe's tiredness from the whole day seemed to be washed away when he saw Baili.

"Father?" Baili watched Atobe Koichi walk in and sat on the sofa in the house very naturally.

"Did I bother you?" Of course Koichi Atobe didn't really ask, but simply liked to tease Baili.

Baili shook his head immediately, "But didn't you just say you were going back to rest?" Baili was sure that his memory was correct.

Koichi Atobe sighed secretly, he really wanted to go back to rest, but when he got into the house and thought of what he had seen before, the thought of rest disappeared.

Although he always looks perfect in front of people, after cutting the cake, Koichi Atobe took a glass of red wine and went up to the second floor corridor for a while in his free time. There were bodyguards guarding the entrance of the second floor, except for the Atobe family. No one is allowed to enter, so Koichi Atobe doesn't have to worry about being disturbed by others.From the corridor, you can see the hall on the first floor, in case someone is looking for you, so he kept staring downstairs, but except for the occasional maid, he didn't see anyone else.

Koichi Atobe, who was going to go down after drinking this cup, suddenly saw Asahina Ukyo dragging Baili in, curious about Baili getting along with Asahina's family, Atobe Koichi did not disturb the two of them, but looked at it with interest .

After all, there was still a distance between the two of them and they couldn't really hear what they were talking about. They only vaguely heard that it should be about food. Koichi Atobe smiled. Sure enough, what happened just now was probably not as important as delicious food in Baili's mind.

But what happened immediately shocked him.Asahina Ukyo looked around and seemed to check that no one was passing by, and leaned in and quickly kissed Baili on the lips. Koichi Atobe unconsciously grasped the armrest with his left hand, as if trying to support himself.And Baili didn't show any disgusting reaction, but covered his mouth shyly.

Atobe Koichi watched the two leave with a gloomy expression, his left hand was almost grasping the armrest as if Asahina Ukyo.No wonder Baili is so reluctant to leave Asahina's house, but Takaichi Atobe doesn't discriminate against homosexuality.It's just that once it happened to Baili, no matter whether the other party was a man or a woman, he felt that that person had something to do with Baili.Even if I thought Asahina Ukyo was a steady person before, at this moment I couldn't help but feel that he deceived Baili with sweet words.

"...Dad?" Koichi Atobe stared at Baili with a complicated expression, which made Baili feel a little uncomfortable.

"Bauri...after this birthday, I will be 18." Koichi Atobe stretched out his hand and touched the top of Baili's head. Even if Baili was an adult, he would not allow others to touch Baili who didn't understand love. .

"My brother said that I am an adult now." Baili said with inexplicable pride.

"Has Baili ever thought about what to do in the future?"

Baili was taken aback, this topic seemed far away to him, although at his age he should have graduated from high school and was facing the choice of going to school or entering society.But in fact, it is Baili who is about to enter the second year of high school. The word "future" means that Bingdi will win the championship of the next tennis tournament.

"I heard from Jingwu that Baili likes tennis?"

Baili nodded.

"Have you ever considered going abroad to receive more professional tennis training and take the path of professional tennis?" This is the least painful way that Atobe Koichi can think of, and can separate him and Asahina Ukyo.

Baili opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to say yes.After a year of nurturing, he also subconsciously believed that he would always play tennis in the future, and the profession that can continue to play tennis and compete with more powerful people is undoubtedly the professional tennis.During the four major competitions, he also watched the live broadcast with the seniors of the tennis department in the lounge. For him, that was the place he yearned for.But when Koichi Atobe said that he wanted to go abroad, he hesitated again. Going abroad means leaving his family and going to a place where there is no one he knows. This is what Baili fears the most.

How could Baili's little thoughts be hidden? They were almost written on his face. Takashi Atobe saw through them at a glance, but he didn't point them out directly; "Maybe Baili didn't know. He made a choice between tennis and family business. If Jingwu chose tennis at that time, I would not stop him. But Jingwu didn't hesitate at the time, and told me directly that he would inherit the family business. That's why I It will let him stay in the tennis club for three years in high school. And Baili doesn’t have to take responsibility like Jingwu, maybe Jingwu also hopes that you can help him realize his dream.”

"If Baili really wants to enter the job network, he must receive professional training from now on." Koichi Atobe knew that Baili's talent was not inferior to Jingwu's, or even higher than that, but he had never received professional training before. So although it is later than others, it is not a bad idea to start now.

"Besides, Jingwu will also study abroad after graduation. If Baili can be with Jingwu as a company, I will feel at ease." Koichi Atobe gave Baili a reassurance at the end. With Jingwu here, Baili You don't have to worry about being alone anymore.

Hearing this, Baili's expression became brighter.

Seeing that Baili's attitude was a little loose, Koichi Atobe did not continue to press: "Baili, think about it first, and let me know after a few days after making a decision. But Baili, as a member of the Atobe family, once he does Once a decision is made, there will be no further wavering.”

Baili nodded hesitantly. He never thought that he would have to choose between Mengmeng and Asahina brothers.Once I think about not being able to see everyone in the future, my heart feels inexplicably pantothenic.Baili doesn't know what it feels like, but now he doesn't have the leisure to unwrap presents.After Koichi Atobe left, Baili grabbed a coat and hurriedly left the room.

***

The Asahinas are just like in Asahina's apartment, each has their own room.Azusa sent Tsubaki back who was pestering him, and took a comfortable bath in the bathroom.Today he only had time to hand Baili a gift and say happy birthday.Not as obsessive as Chun, most of the time Zi would just quietly stand beside Baili and watch him play.

Before she had time to dry her hair, Azusa heard a light knock on the door. The person who came seemed hesitant, knocked lightly, paused for a few seconds before knocking again.Azusa thought she had heard it wrong, until the third knock on the door sounded.

But when he opened the door and saw Baili standing in front of him, surprise was not enough to describe his mood.Mixed with surprise and worry, he thought that something happened to Baili, but he was happy that he came to find him.

"It's still cold at night, why don't you wear more clothes." Zi couldn't help saying a few words while letting Baili into the house.

Only then did Baili take a look at his clothes, he came out in a hurry, and he was still wearing loose trousers, Zi Zi felt that his legs seemed a little cold after saying this.

But that's not the point, Baili looked at Ziguan's back at the window and asked, "If I leave Asahina's apartment, will everyone..."

Before Baili finished speaking, Zi turned around and looked at Baili. The moonlight outside the window slanted into the room and hit half of Zi's face.

"The Atobe family forced you." Azusa asked in a declarative tone, calm but dangerous.

"Of course not." Baili was a little surprised by Azusa's thoughts, "Father proposed that I go abroad to receive professional tennis training and then enter the professional tennis." In fact, Baili wanted to discuss this matter with Subaru at first, after all Subaru and He's been through the same thing.But because there was still training early the next morning, Subaru left the Atobe house after attending the birthday party.And all he could think of, who could help him analyze things calmly and hold on to his dream was Azusa.He still remembered that when Azusa and Tsubaki quarreled because of a character, he only found out that Azusa entered the seiyuu circle precisely because he liked that character.

Only then did Zi's expression soften a little, but he frowned unconsciously when he heard the second part of Baili's sentence: "This matter can be discussed after Baili graduates."

Baili also answered with a grimace, "I think so too, but Zi, I'm old now, and it's too late for the age to receive professional training."

Azusa lowered his eyes and looked away, he didn't want to look directly into Baili's eyes, because they were full of longing for the job network.And he can fully understand Baili's mood, and because of this understanding, he can't ask Baili to give up tennis for them.

"I respect Baili's choice." Azusa finally chose the safest option.

"But that would mean leaving everyone, I don't want to..." Before Baili finished speaking, Zi had already stepped forward and embraced Baili in his arms.

Baili couldn't see Zi's expression, but he could feel that Zi, who had always been calm and self-sufficient, was breathing a little fast now. He was obviously suppressing something.Baili suddenly thought of Azusa's confession on the night when the Atobe family came to Asahina's apartment for the first time.Even at that time, Azusa didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but when she heard that she might leave, Azusa's calm appearance finally couldn't hold on.Baili felt a little stuffy in his heart, and unconsciously hugged Zi back.

Noticing that Baili's hands were also wrapping around his back, Zi trembled slightly, and said, "You know, I don't want you to leave, but I won't stop you from leaving. If you like it, go. I will always Waiting for your return at Asahina's apartment, as long as you want."

As soon as Zi's words fell, Baili felt that the deepest part of his heart seemed to be pricked by the sharpest needle, and a small opening was made. From the small mouth, bursts of soreness flowed all the way up his heart, causing He has a red nose.

Sensing the silence of the person in his arms, Azusa let go of his hands, and looked down to see Baili's sad face that was about to cry, but still holding back tears.

He laughed all of a sudden, breaking through the sad atmosphere: "You are the one who is leaving, I haven't cried yet, why did you cry first?"

Zi always has a serious face on weekdays, even if she smiles, it is only a shallow smile, Baili has never seen Zi smile so handsomely.It can only be said that Miwako's genes really do not favor anyone.

"If Baili really decides to go, I will accompany you when there is no work." Zi's work is flexible, except for recording and publicity, he can accompany Baili at other times, "Now I only watch Baili's Decided."

But Azusa can already imagine how impulsive and stupid brothers in the family would burst when they heard the news.

The author has something to say:
