Chapter Thirteen: Yafeng's Birthday Banquet

  After returning to Kanagawa, everyone went back home to clean up and rest, after all, it's not good to visit someone's home with a sweaty body after just finishing the competition.

  Masayuki and Masada also went home to take a bath, after which Masayuki was pulled by Sosuke to accompany him in playing games until dinner time when the two arrived at the dining hall.

  Masashi arrived at the dining hall when the people from the Sanada family and the Rikkai tennis team were already there.

  "Kosho-sei, you're really slow in coming!" Soichiro said with a grin.

  "Hmm, Soichiro-nii is really biased, isn't he? I clearly arrived with Sasuke, but nii only mentioned me." Yagura said with a hint of resentment, naturally, please ignore the upward curve of her mouth.

  “……”

  "Happy birthday!" Yafeng said, and Osamu broke the deadlock with a generous move.

  "Thanks, Jing Shi Gege." Yafeng smiled and replied with a twinkle in her eyes, staring straight at Xingcun as if to say that the gift was hers.

  Koumura naturally understood Yafeng's meaning but he didn't have the idea of giving gifts at this time.

  "Yah Wind, happy birthday! This is my gift." Marui's little friend completely didn't understand the situation and helped Kohmura out.

  "Thank you," Yafeng took over the gift handed over by Marui, which was a one-year discount coupon for a cake shop.

  "Yao said that Ya Feng wants to eat more cake, the cakes in this bakery are delicious, and this coupon is only available after I've been eating there for a month."

  Yahiko is very touched. You know, being able to get Marui to give you the cake he loves so much means that you're very important to him.

  "Happy birthday, Yafeng! This is my gift for you." Chiyuan handed Yafeng a necklace with a small tennis racket pendant on it, which was very cute.

  "Puchi, and me, Yafeng sister, this is a birthday gift for you."

  Ren Wang also handed over a bag to Yafeng, but when Yafeng saw the gift, her eyes twitched slightly. Can you tell her why she wanted to give her an ultra-short mini skirt?

  It seems that I heard Yafeng's heart, Renwang explained calmly: "Yafeng sister has never worn a skirt except for her school uniform, and when she wears her school uniform, she always pulls the skirt down to her knees. There is no femininity at all, so I gave you this skirt hoping that Yafeng sister can be more feminine in the future."

  Everyone almost laughed after listening to Renwang's explanation, even Sanada and Old Man Sanada looked like they were in agreement, while Yafeng was already completely not just a little bit twitching.

  After that, others also sent out gifts one after another. Yagami's was a pair of white wrist guards, while Yui's was a video recording of this year's school matches, under the name of giving her more data to help her improve. Sanguo's gift was a can of Brazilian coffee, and Yukimura also brought out his own gift after everyone else had given theirs - a painting he drew himself. However, why did the wolf in that painting have two red hearts for eyes while looking at Yagami? Okay, she admitted she knew that wolf represented Yukimura, but when did she ever look at Yukimura with such an infatuated expression?!

  Then it was the Sanada family's turn to give gifts. The elder of the Sanada family gave a laptop, while Sōichirō and Sasuke gave a handmade bracelet with a blue sapphire, Yafū's birthstone, which touched everyone's heart as they made it themselves.

  After receiving gifts from everyone, Yafeng turned his gaze to Shinada who had been sitting there with a poker face all along, "Oniichan Ryōtarō, where's my gift?"

  Alright, being thick-skinned is invincible, so I directly asked for it.

  "I've let you off this time."

  Yahiro was taken aback, "Is this Akatsuki Kojirō's older brother? He's being so proactive?"

  The dinner party afterwards was very enjoyable, and of course Yafeng cried uncontrollably after seeing Tiantian's gift. Tiantian's gift was a huge teddy bear as big as a person, he remembered that Yafeng had no sense of security, so he sent her a companion.

  The next day was the match between Hyotei and Seigaku, and Yafuku remembered that this match had always been calm and collected, but was ignited by Momoshiro, which was a rare sight to see, so she got up early and abandoned everyone else, rushing to Tokyo alone.

  Yah Feng arrived at the competition venue just as the game was about to start.

  "Let's get on stage, it's SHOWTIME!" Tsuba said confidently with a flourish of his hand.

  It's still shocking to see this with my own eyes, Yafeng burst out laughing in a very unglamorous way, but not many people noticed her. On the contrary, Bingdi's fan club stunned Yafeng, it was really too powerful, almost deafening her ears.

  "Hey, Nintou, that unglamorous woman from your house is here." Tsube noticed her as soon as Yafuu stepped inside and saw the woman laughing out loud one moment and then freezing up the next, so he kindly reminded Nintou.

  "Ah, yes." Rinshi raised a hint of an alluring smile, "You're quite concerned about Yafeng, aren't you?"

  Outside of the scene, Ya Feng naturally didn't notice the interaction between Tsuba and Shinra, even if she did notice, she would probably just imagine it on Shinra.

  After a handshake between the two sides, the first match was Singles 3: Nishifuji vs. Momoshiro.

  "Hey, Shinotsuke is about to go on stage, aren't you going to cheer him on?" Tsuba asked Yakaze, who had retreated to the edge of the stage, pretending to be nonchalant.

  "Brother Yu Shi will definitely win, I believe in him and that's enough."

  Ji Bu was startled in his heart, how could he be so sure? But why did he feel a little uncomfortable himself.

  "Yu Shi gege, if I win, you have to make delicious food for me!" Ya Feng suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs towards Rinsho on the field.

  He turned back and gave her a confident smile.

  "Isn't it about believing? What an unglamorous move indeed?"

  "Is it not okay for me to suddenly be in a good mood, Mr. Tsuba? I just like being optimistic, what's wrong with that?" Yafeng said irritably, anyway she was already annoyed at this Mr. Tsuba.

  "Hehe, you're really a plain woman, aren't you, Kazuchi?" Tsumabuki's mood lifted at the sight of Akakaze's puffed-up face.

  "Yes."

  "You," Yafeng's expression turned cold, but she took a deep breath to calm down, then flashed a brilliant smile at Sekibetsu: "Elegant water lily gentleman, since you think this lady is not elegant enough, would you please take her away?" After finishing speaking, she ignored Sekibetsu and walked over to Cilang who was leaning against Feng and sleeping.

  Ji Bu felt uncomfortable ignoring Ya Feng's elegance, but he couldn't lose his temper due to his pride.

  The ninja on the field was suppressed by Taicheng, always at a disadvantage, but the ninja was still very relaxed. In this way, Taicheng, who only relied on his insight, did not pose much of a threat to him.

  "Feng said worriedly, 'Ninzu is being suppressed.'"

  "Brother Yusuke won't lose," Yafeng said confidently, "he's about to counterattack soon."

  The subsequent match was like Yafeng said, patiently counterattacking, Taicheng regained strength, but the match still ended in a win for Rindou. However, when I saw Taicheng crash into the iron pillar with my own eyes, I was shocked. That unyielding spirit is something I don't have myself, it's truly admirable.

  "Congratulations, older brother Yu Shi! You won!" Yafeng directly flew into the arms of Renzu, who was walking off the court.

  "Does what Yafeng just said still count?" Ningzu naturally hugged the person in his arms.

  "Of course I won't forget, I'll make it for you as soon as I get back today." Yafeng said, standing up from where he was sitting in the carriage.

  "I'm looking forward to it then."

  Yah Feng nodded and said with a hint of embarrassment: "Yu Shi Gege, I want to do something, don't be mad at me, okay?"

  Rinzu was a bit perplexed by Yafeng's sudden change, but that was his sister - no matter what she did, he wouldn't blame her. "If Yafeng wants to go and do something, then just let him go, why would I be angry with you?"

  Yah Feng heard what Ren Zu said and suddenly jumped up, shouting: "Yu Shi Gege you're so great!" After that, she even gave Ren Zu a kiss on the cheek. Before everyone could react, she had already run towards Qing Xue's side.

  Shinso's first reaction to Yawaraka's sudden kiss was not much surprise, what a lovely child, this little sister is really lovely, I'll have to tell Ken about it too, and make him jealous.

  Tsubasa's mood was ruined after seeing that scene, while the other members of Hyoutei and Seishun were thinking about how good a couple Ryoma and his fiancée made. The cheering squad outside glared at Rinko with burning eyes, "Ryoma is everyone's, don't get too close to him, shameless woman!"

  Yah Feng didn't mind everyone's reaction, she thought that as a twelve-year-old kid, kissing her brother's cheek was very normal.

  "Taosheng Jun, you're so handsome! I really admire you, you're my idol." Yafeng ran to Taosheng's side and pulled on his sleeve with a look of adoration.

  Taicheng's face turned red instantly, and he scratched his head with a broom, saying: "Hehe, no way, Rinso-kyun is even more formidable than me."

  "But you didn't back down even when you were hurt so badly, and your progress is amazing!" Yafeng said very seriously: "Anyway, I've decided, from now on you're my idol. Does Taochen Jun dislike me?"

  Looking at Yafeng's pitiful appearance, Taicheng felt that if he didn't say something nice, it would be a crime. So, with great shyness, he said: "How could that be? You're so lovely, Sanada-san."

  "Hey, since Peach City doesn't mind, from now on you can call me Yafeng. Calling Totada 'Totada-san' makes me feel like I'm calling a senior, so from now on I'll just call you Taosheng, after all we're the same grade."

  "Uh, okay." Tauchen was completely unable to keep up with Yafeng's jumping thoughts.

  "Hehe, I think Peach City smiles very sunny and warm, making people feel very comfortable. But I still have something to do, so I'll leave first and see you tomorrow." After finishing speaking, she ran away without waiting for Peach City's reaction.

  Hehe, she's really happy, in the Net King, those few people she likes have almost all been met, of course, her favorite is still Cilang, but let's go back early today, otherwise, Sanada will get angry and the consequences will be severe, anyway, the exciting thing is tomorrow's match.

  "Goodbye, Yusuke! I'm going home now, see you tomorrow!" Yafeng said as she ran off, bidding farewell to Yusuke.

  Small Extra Story:

  In Prince of Tennis, Akazawa's favorite is Kirihara, because she envies his completely carefree life and his happy and pure heart. After all, this was a luxury for the former Akazawa. Next is Momoshiro, she likes his unyielding spirit and his forever radiant smile, as if nothing can bring him down. Then there's Shishido, the gentle and elegant boy known as "Saint", his nature of not forgetting to make jokes even when losing always makes Akazawa feel that the future may not be too bad, or perhaps she likes the humorous team, of course, Shishido's occasional meanness is also one of Akazawa's favorites. And then there's Niou, he gives Akazawa a feeling of seeing herself, always hiding her true self behind a perfect mask, outwardly harmless and easy to talk to but in reality they are the truly lonely people who can't let go of themselves.

  Here is the translation:

  Also, I want to explain why Sanada and Shinotsu place such importance on Kaze, whom they've only just met. Apart from her past and her feigned aloofness, it's also because they've longed for a little sister for a very long time. The Sanada household only has Soichiro and Genjuro, while Yukimura and others have little sisters, so Sanada had always hoped to have a little sister of his own to take care of. Now that he has one, it's natural that he would treasure her dearly. As for Shinotsu, he has an older sister who is absolutely beyond description (more on this later), while his uncle's household has two younger brothers, Ken and Shota. He and Ken had always hoped to have a little sister since they were young, and now that they do, and she's such a cute, lovable, and playful one at that, it's only natural that he would be very good to her.
