After saying a serious goodbye to his older brother, Guo Yu followed Ryoma back to the classroom. However, as soon as they stepped inside, all the classmates stopped what they were doing and turned their gazes towards the door, staring intently at Guo Yu and Ryoma who had just entered.
The curious eyes of the classmates startled Guo Yu, and he reflexively hid behind Ryoma, trembling slightly. Ryoma paused and looked towards Horio, who was sitting at the back, “What’s going on?”
Why were the classmates looking at Guo Yu so strangely?
“Tezuka-kun, do you have any relation to Tezuka President?” Unable to contain her curiosity, a female classmate asked, “During lunch, Tezuka President came to the classroom looking for you. Are you brothers?”
The classmates were very curious about the new Tezuka Guo Yu, but they weren’t very familiar with him. It seemed he didn’t attend elementary school in Kanto!
The impression of Tezuka-kun was that he looked younger than the classmates, exceptionally good-looking, unmatched by any of the girls in the class, and seemed to have a good personality, though he didn’t talk much. Initially, everyone thought he was a girl because he was so pretty, and the boys in the class were excited until they realized he was wearing a boy’s uniform, discovering he was actually a boy and quite close to the quiet Echizen-kun, probably also from America!
But today, Tezuka President actually came to the classroom looking for Tezuka-kun, which shocked the classmates who always thought Tezuka Guo Yu was from abroad.
That was the Seigaku Student Council President and Tennis Club Captain, Tezuka Kunimitsu-senpai! Tezuka-kun actually knew him? Wait a minute, they suddenly realized they had the same surname. Could they be brothers?
Just as everyone was speculating, the subject of their curiosity walked into the classroom with Ryoma, so it was no wonder everyone turned to the door in unison, driven by their intense curiosity. Fortunately, someone realized the stares were a bit too intense, so she took the initiative to ask.
“Tezuka President??” Do I know him?
Guo Yu looked puzzled. Did this person have anything to do with him? Why did he come to the classroom looking for him?
“Guo Yu, they’re probably talking about your older brother.” Noticing the confusion in Guo Yu’s eyes, Echizen Ryoma reminded him, “Your brother seems to be the Student Council President.”
“Oh.” So the Tezuka President they were talking about was his own brother. With Ryoma’s explanation, Guo Yu understood what everyone wanted to ask. So he answered seriously, “He’s Guo Yu’s older brother!”
“Eh—”
“Are they really brothers?”
“Wow, I didn’t expect to be so lucky.”
Guo Yu’s words made the female classmates excited. Tezuka-senpai was actually Tezuka-kun’s brother, which was really unexpected, especially since they didn’t look alike at all.
But with Tezuka-kun in the class, the handsome Tezuka-senpai should come to the class often, right? That way, we can see him frequently, woohoo~
Although Tezuka-senpai was very cool, he was extremely popular among the younger female students, and many girls saw him as their ideal type. Guo Yu’s female classmates were no exception. After learning that Guo Yu was Tezuka-senpai’s brother, they unanimously decided: to treat Tezuka-senpai’s brother better in the future, to make sure he feels the love from his classmates!
That way, when the brother talks about his classmates to Tezuka-senpai, Tezuka-senpai will have an impression of them. Just thinking about Tezuka-senpai possibly knowing their names and having close contact with them made the girls’ hearts race.
However, unlike the girls in the class who were lost in their own imaginations, full of happiness and surrounded by pink bubbles, Guo Yu, after explaining his relationship with his brother, went to his seat, sat down obediently, and waited for the teacher to start the class.
“Here you go.” Ryoma handed Guo Yu a bottle of Panta from his bag. He had just finished eating bread, so he might be thirsty!
“Thank you, Ryoma.” Taking the drink from Ryoma, Guo Yu immediately forgot about the classmates’ strange behavior and happily drank the Panta, “It’s delicious, thank you, Ryoma.”
“You’re welcome.” Seeing Guo Yu’s attention shift to the drink, Ryoma breathed a sigh of relief. Annoyed by the girls’ infatuated looks, Ryoma pulled his cap down lower. What a bunch of fangirls! He really couldn’t understand what Japanese girls were thinking. Even if they admired Guo Yu’s brother, they didn’t have to act like weird aunties!
Luckily, Guo Yu didn’t notice, otherwise, he would have been scared. Thinking about Guo Yu’s sensitivity to people’s emotions, Ryoma felt the girls in the class were too noisy. Making such a fuss over a small matter wasn’t good, not good at all!
But was Guo Yu’s brother really that amazing? The girls in the class seemed to admire him a lot!
Because of the classmates’ attitude towards Tezuka Kunimitsu, even before joining the Tennis Club, Echizen Ryoma was a bit curious about Tezuka Kunimitsu.
Even though he had just met Guo Yu’s brother, he hadn’t had a proper interaction, so Ryoma didn’t know much about Guo Yu’s brother. But in his view, Guo Yu’s brother didn’t seem particularly special, probably a very gentle person. He was very kind to Guo Yu!
If the classmates knew what Echizen was thinking, they would definitely scream: You must have seen a fake Tezuka-senpai, Tezuka-senpai isn’t gentle at all!
The afternoon classes ended quickly. Remembering his brother’s instructions, Guo Yu obediently sat in his seat. Even when Ryoma invited him to the Tennis Club, Guo Yu politely declined, “Ryoma, I have to wait for my brother in the classroom.”
“Alright, then I’ll go first.”
Seeing the kid obediently refuse him, Ryoma, although outwardly indifferent, felt a bit disappointed inside. But he knew Guo Yu was always an obedient child who never went against his family’s words.
But realizing for the first time the difference in status between himself and Guo Yu’s real brother in Guo Yu’s heart, Ryoma felt quite unhappy! It seemed he wasn’t trying hard enough, so he wasn’t the number one in the kid’s heart. In the future, he had to treat the kid better, and surely he could surpass his brother in the kid’s heart.
Meanwhile, at school, as soon as class ended, Tezuka Kunimitsu rushed to Guo Yu’s classroom. He took advantage of the break to explain today’s special situation to Coach Ryuzaki and asked for leave, asking her to take charge of today’s Tennis Club training.
Because he planned to take his brother home right after school, after all, it was Guo Yu’s first day at school, and the family was definitely worried about him.
But when he arrived at Guo Yu’s classroom door, Tezuka Kunimitsu found his brother sitting at his desk, seriously filling out a club application form, seemingly unaware of his arrival.
With no other choice, Tezuka Kunimitsu stepped forward, ready to speak, when he suddenly saw his brother neatly writing “Tennis Club” on the application form.
“Guo Yu, you…” Do you also like tennis?
But your body can’t handle the damage from intense exercise!
Looking at his much smaller brother who wanted to join the Tennis Club, Tezuka Kunimitsu didn’t know what to say for a moment and could only stand there dumbfounded, struggling internally.
Rationally, he should decisively dissuade his brother from joining the Tennis Club because Guo Yu’s body was too weak; emotionally, he felt he shouldn’t interfere too much in his brother’s life and should let him happily choose his own path.
While he was lost in thought, Guo Yu, sitting at his desk, noticed his presence and happily showed him the completed application form, “Brother, brother, look, Guo Yu has already filled out the club application form.”
“Tomorrow, I can go to the Tennis Club with brother.” Thinking about how he couldn’t enter the Tennis Club in the morning because he wasn’t a member, and his brother’s troubled expression, Guo Yu felt he should do something to ease his brother’s worries.
If he joined the Tennis Club, his brother wouldn’t have to worry about him not being able to enter the tennis court!
“Guo Yu is amazing!” Tezuka Kunimitsu patted his brother’s head, deciding not to overthink it. As long as his brother was happy, that was enough.
After all, he was also in the Tennis Club, so he could just not assign his brother too much training. Instead of letting Guo Yu join another club, it was better to keep him under his watch, so he could take better care of him.
“Then remember to come with brother to the Tennis Club training tomorrow!”
“Yes, yes, Guo Yu will definitely remember.”
