Chapter 120 Fireworks, Yukimura's Heartbeat
The cable car started moving, and the completely transparent glass cabin slowly rose, with the scenery outside the window changing little by little.
Beneath my feet lies a dense peach orchard, and in the distance, a shimmering lake, its surface bathed in moonlight that resembles a layer of shattered silver.
As the cable car ascended higher, the entire view of Karuizawa gradually came into view.
Upon reaching the mountaintop, the viewing pavilion was illuminated by warm yellow lights.
As everyone stepped out of the cable car, they were instantly stunned by the view before them.
A bright, full moon hung in the deep blue sky, like a giant jade plate. Moonlight, like water, poured down, illuminating the entire mountain forest.
The distant lake, like a mirror, reflects the moon and stars in the sky. At the foot of the mountain, the Moon Gazing Manor is brightly lit, its magnificent buildings appearing exceptionally dreamlike under the moonlight.
A gentle breeze blows by, carrying the fresh scent unique to the mountains and forests, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Kirihara chased after the little monkey, trying to pet it, but it nimbly dodged him. Giving up, he ran to the viewing railing and excitedly shouted, "Wow! The view here is so beautiful!"
Cilang leaned on the railing, his eyes sparkling. "Even more beautiful than I imagined!"
Xiang Ri took out her phone and started taking pictures incessantly, saying, "I want to take these pictures and send them to my mom!"
Marui also took out his camera and kept snapping photos, saying, "Such a beautiful view, I must take more pictures to remember it."
Atobe walked to the railing, looking down at the myriad lights below, a hint of admiration flashing in his icy blue eyes.
"Hmm~ This scenery is worthy of my magnificence."
Sanada nodded, his tone unusually gentle. "It is indeed beautiful."
Liu Sheng adjusted his glasses and said softly, "No wonder the Chinese often say, 'When you reach the summit, you can see all the mountains below.' Standing here, I feel like all my worries have disappeared."
Liu opened her notebook and quickly took notes: "Tonight's moon is the brightest it will be all year, and the visibility is excellent. It's truly a rare treat to see such a sight."
Yukimura, holding the little monkey with a missing ear that had finished eating a banana, stood by the observation railing, quietly looking down at the night view below.
The moonlight shone on him, giving him a faint silver glow.
His profile appeared exceptionally soft in the moonlight, his purplish-blue eyes reflecting the moon in the sky and the lights on the ground, as if filled with stars and the sea.
He stayed in the hospital for so long, seeing only white walls and ceilings every day. Before the surgery, he always thought he might never see such a beautiful view again in his life.
But now, he stands here.
Standing on the mountaintop, feeling the gentle breeze, looking at the full moon, surrounded by his teammates, his friends... and the people he cared about.
It all felt like a dream.
Wang Yueling walked to his side and followed his gaze into the distance.
"Do you remember?"
Wang Yueling spoke softly, her voice as gentle as the moonlight, "When I first met you on the hospital rooftop, I told you that you would soon see more and more beautiful flowers and more and more beautiful scenery."
He turned his head and met Yukimura's eyes, his azure eyes filled with seriousness. "I wasn't exaggerating, was I?"
Yukimura looked at him, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Hmm, you weren't exaggerating."
"This is just the beginning."
Wang Yueling smiled and said, "Now that you're recovering, you'll have plenty of time to see all the beautiful places in the world."
For example…
"During the Australian Open, you can go diving at the Great Barrier Reef and see colorful corals and tropical fish; during the French Open, you can go skiing in the Alps and stroll along the Seine; during Wimbledon, you can visit the London Eye on the Thames; and during the US Open, you can see the night view of the Empire State Building."
After he finished speaking, he paused, shifted his gaze to the side, and spoke so softly that it was almost inaudible.
"Traveling alone might be too lonely for you, I'd be happy to be your travel buddy."
The evening breeze carried his whispers into Yukimura's ears.
Yukimura's heart skipped a beat.
Suddenly, the little deer in his heart took off running, striking his heart repeatedly with its antlers, making his cheeks burn and his ear tips turn red.
He looked at Wang Yueling's profile; her golden hair shone softly in the moonlight.
It turns out that this person had already incorporated his ideals into his future plans.
He knew he wanted to become a professional tennis player and that he wanted to stand on the highest stage, so he said he would accompany him to every Grand Slam tournament and see all the sights there.
Yukimura felt a warmth in his heart, as if it were filled by the evening breeze.
He spoke softly, his voice trembling slightly: "Okay."
Wang Yueling suddenly turned her head, looked at him, her eyes shining like stars, "Really?"
Seeing his surprised expression, Yukimura couldn't help but smile.
He nodded, a hint of playfulness in his voice, "But you'd better prepare a detailed travel itinerary. I'll be angry if the experience isn't good."
"Don't worry!" Wang Yueling patted her chest, "I guarantee I'll arrange everything perfectly for you. You'll be absolutely satisfied!"
The others spread out their picnic blankets, took out the snacks and drinks they had brought, and sat together.
"What are you two whispering about over there?" Ren waved to them. "Come sit down! Jiro and Marui are going to eat all the good food! Puppina~"
Mochizuki Ryo pulled Yukimura over and sat down.
With his mouth full, Cilang mumbled, "No! I only ate two lemon egg rolls made by Uncle Yuanye!"
Marui nodded, still chewing on something, and mumbled his rebuttal, "Exactly! White fox, don't wrong us!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw the two of them.
They ate snacks while gazing at the full moon and chatting. Their conversation ranged from the afternoon's competition to the upcoming Kanto Tournament, from school anecdotes to their individual hobbies.
Time slipped away quietly amidst laughter and joy.
Before I knew it, it was almost ten o'clock.
Yukimura glanced at his watch and said softly, "It's getting late. We have to go back to school tomorrow, so we should head back."
"Wait!" Oshitari suddenly stood up, took a camera out of his bag, and said, "It's the last day of the training camp, so of course we need to take a picture to commemorate it! Let's take a group photo!"
Everyone agreed.
Everyone walked onto the viewing platform and stood in two rows.
Kirihara squatted at the front, his ribbon on his head swaying in the wind. Jiro and Mukahi squatted on either side of him, Marui stood behind him, and Kuwabara stood beside him.
Niou leaned on Yagyu's shoulder, and Yagyu stood very straight. Yagyu stood next to Sanada, holding a notebook in his hand.
Atobe stood in the middle, arms crossed, chin slightly raised.
Yukimura stood next to Atobe, holding the little monkey with the missing ear in his arms. Mochizuki Ryo stood next to Yukimura.
Behind me was a bright full moon and the dazzling night view of Qingjingze.
Wang Yueling gave the butler a wink. The butler understood, took the camera, and walked to a suitable position.
"Look here, everyone!" The butler raised his camera. "Three, two, one..."
Just as he pressed the shutter, countless fireworks suddenly rose in the direction of Wangyue Manor not far away.
"Bang!"
It blooms in the night sky, dazzling and spectacular.
Yellow, red, green, and blue fireworks, like blooming flowers, illuminated the entire night sky.
The camera captured that moment in the photograph.
Everyone had a smile on their face, and behind them, dazzling fireworks bloomed in the night sky, with the moon hanging above them, round and bright.
The sudden sound of fireworks startled everyone.
Everyone turned around to watch the fireworks rising from Wangyue Manor.
"Wow! Fireworks!" Kirihara exclaimed, leaning on the railing, the ribbon in his hair swaying. "So beautiful!"
Cilang stood on tiptoe, his reddish-brown curly hair disheveled by the wind, his eyes sparkling.
"The red one was huge! This is the first time I've ever seen fireworks so close up on a mountain!"
Marui chewed gum, his purple eyes reflecting the fireworks. "When did Ryo prepare this?"
Kuwabara stood next to him and smiled. "It was probably planned long ago."
Sunrise squatted on the ground, her short red hair blowing wildly in the wind. "This is too extravagant... How much does it cost to set off fireworks on a mountain?"
Hiyoshi leaned against the railing, a smirk playing on his lips. "Overthrowing superiors... that's a long way off."
Feng stood next to Shishido, smiling as she watched the fireworks in the sky. "They're beautiful."
Shishido crossed her arms, her long hair fluttering in the wind, and said, "Mmm."
Atobe curled his lip and looked at Mochizuki Ryo beside him, "You actually prepared this trick."
Wang Yueling leaned against the railing, looking back at him with a smug tone, "How about it? This is something I carefully prepared for the end of your training camp. It's more glamorous than your rose petal shower, isn't it?"
Atobe snorted and crossed his arms. "It's just so-so. My rose petal shower is much more romantic than this."
"Tch." Wang Yueling curled her lip in disdain. "Who cares about your cliché rose petal rain?"
As the others watched the two of them bickering, a thought simultaneously popped into their minds.
You two shouldn't complain about each other anymore; you're both equally bad.
Are all rich young masters as narcissistic and exaggerated as these two?!
Ok……
At least these two people are like that; they've become extremely narcissistic.
After finishing her吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for complaining or criticizing) about Atobe, Mochizuki Ryo immediately moved closer to Yukimura, looking at him with bright eyes, "Seiichi, were the fireworks beautiful?"
Seeing the expectant look in his eyes, Yukimura smiled and nodded. "It's beautiful."
He paused, then added, "Your narcissism is just right."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yueling laughed even more heartily.
The fireworks display lasted for half an hour.
The last few fireworks rose simultaneously, exploding in the night sky and illuminating the entire sky as if it were daytime. Golden light shone on everyone's faces, making their smiles appear warm.
Then, the fireworks faded away.
Only a full moon and a few sparse stars remained in the night sky.
Yukimura stood by the railing, the little monkey in his arms already asleep. He glanced down at it, then looked up at Mochizuki Ryou.
"It's time to go back."
Wang Yueling nodded.
After everyone packed their things, they took the cable car down the mountain, chatting about the moonlight, fireworks, games, and fun things that happened that night, their laughter echoing all the way.
It was almost 11 p.m. when we got back to the dorm. We said goodnight to each other and went back to our rooms to rest.
The last day of the training camp ended in such a lively and warm atmosphere.
Moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating the quiet corridor.
The story of this training camp has come to an end, but their story has just begun.
The Kanto Tournament is about to begin.
The road ahead will be filled with countless challenges and unknowns.
But they were fearless.
Because they have teammates to fight alongside them, the purest love for tennis, and an indomitable spirit.
They will continue on the path of tennis.
