Chapter 122 A rare relaxing time
Nanako Echizen's cheeks flushed red. She realized that her daze just now seemed a little rude, so she quickly adjusted her mentality and looked at Tianyu with the most gentle and warm smile, with a hint of imperceptible shyness and nervousness in her voice.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Tianyu-san, I was distracted just now. Please... please come in. My home is a little simple, I hope you don't mind."
As she spoke, she moved lightly and led Tianyu through the entrance hall and into the spacious and bright living room.
Nanako Echizen turned around, a hint of embarrassment in her eyes, and said softly: "Tianyu classmate, please sit here for a while. I'll go call uncle. He should be resting in the backyard."
Tianyu heard this and a gentle smile appeared on his lips. He nodded slightly to show his understanding.
He looked around, curious about every detail of the Echizen family home.
While waiting, Tianyu maintained just the right amount of quietness, not flipping through the items on the table. He only occasionally lowered his head in thought, or looked out the window, enjoying this rare tranquility and harmony.
His eyes revealed a calmness and restraint beyond his age, which made people involuntarily feel good about him.
……
"Meow~"
A slightly mischievous voice broke through the original tranquility in the room and rang out quietly.
Tianyu was sitting by the window, holding a cup of freshly brewed hot tea in his hand, ready to enjoy this moment of tranquility and leisure, but unexpectedly, this tranquility was completely broken by a sudden visitor.
He raised his head slightly, with a hint of surprise and curiosity in his eyes, and looked at the half-open window. He saw a nimble figure lightly leaping over the window frame, like a brown lightning, and instantly rushed towards him.
It was a brown and white Himalayan cat, its fur warm and bright.
Especially those sapphire-like eyes, sparkling with lively light, are very eye-catching.
Its body is slightly plump, which makes it even more cute and adorable.
Tianyu's thoughts were instantly brought back, and he remembered the name of the little guy - Karubin, the pet cat of Echizen Ryoma's family.
Karubin seemed satisfied with Tianyu's reaction, and continued his actions without any hesitation.
It jumped lightly and landed steadily on Tianyu's legs. Then it found a comfortable position and curled up, as if it had found the warmest harbor.
Its head rested gently on Tianyu's hand, and occasionally it would gently brush Tianyu's fingers with its soft fur.
Tianyu was a little overwhelmed by Karubin's sudden intimacy, but an indescribable warmth surged in his heart.
He couldn't help laughing, and the laughter was clear and sweet, full of love for the cat.
He stretched out his fingers and gently stroked Carubin's back. The delicate touch made him slow down his movements involuntarily, for fear of disturbing the peaceful beauty.
As Tianyu caressed it, Karubin seemed to relax more. It narrowed its eyes, and its face was filled with satisfaction and happiness.
Its little claws would occasionally gently hook onto Tianyu's thigh.
Tianyu felt the warmth from the little life and his heart was filled with satisfaction.
He knew how rare and precious it was to have such a simple and pure happiness in this fast-paced world.
Just like this, a man and a cat enjoyed this rare tranquility and warmth in the afternoon sun.
……
Just as Tianyu slowly closed his eyes and immersed himself in the tranquility and comfort of the afternoon, the door was gently pushed open, bringing in a stream of warm air.
Ryoma Echizen was sweating profusely and his steps were a little hurried. It was obvious that he had just gone through an intense training.
The moment he entered the door, his eyes instantly caught sight of Tianyu's figure, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. He rarely saw Tianyu so relaxed.
"Senior Tianyu, it's really... such a surprise to meet you here, and in this state."
There was a hint of surprise in Longma's words. Although his voice was soft, it was particularly clear in this quiet space.
Tianyu was brought back to reality by the sudden voice. He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze fell gently on Longma, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, forming a perfect smile.
"Hello, Echizen-san, long time no see." His voice was calm and kind.
When Longma heard this, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes. He looked around and finally his gaze fell on Karubin, who was gently stroking by Tianyu.
This cat, which usually sticks to him, is now lying obediently on Tianyu's legs, enjoying this rare peace.
"Senior Tianyu, why are you in my house? Are you here to see the old man?" He really couldn't think of any other possibility.
Tian Yu smiled lightly and explained, "Yes, I came to see Nanjiro-senpai about something."
There was a hint of respect in his tone.
As Tianyu finished speaking, a subtle silence filled the air again.
The two of them simultaneously turned their gaze back to the carefree cat.
……
The waiting time seemed to be stretched out, and Tianyu felt very nervous.
Finally, it opened again, and Echizen Nanako walked into the room with an embarrassed smile.
"I'm really sorry, Tianyu-san, for keeping you waiting. Uncle just woke up. I'll take you to see him right away."
Seeing this, Tianyu did not blame her. After all, he had some understanding of Echizen Nanjiro's character.
Upon hearing this, Tianyu quickly stood up with an understanding smile on his face. "It's okay, I was just too abrupt. Please take me to see Mr. Nanjiro. I'm really looking forward to this meeting."
His words revealed an expectation and respect that was difficult to conceal.
As he turned around, Tianyu carefully picked up the cat, Karubin, who was taking a nap lazily on his legs. It seemed that it felt Tianyu's movements, opened its sleepy eyes, and looked around curiously with its blue eyes.
Tianyu gently handed Karubin to Echizen Ryoma beside him.
"Echizen-san, I'll leave Karubin in your care."
Longma silently took Karubin, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his eyes.
But then, a question arose in his mind, "How did Senior Tianyu know Carubin's name? I don't think I told him."
Without waiting for Ryoma's response, Tianyu followed Echizen Nanako's footsteps and set foot on the road leading to the backyard of the Echizen family.
On the way, his heart beat faster, as if he was about to step into a whole new world.
Nanjiro Echizen, the legendary tennis player in Japan, the invincible presence on the court. Today, he is about to see this legendary figure with his own eyes.
This mixture of excitement and nervousness made Tianyu's every step seem particularly heavy and full of expectation.
