Note before reading: This book is the beautiful fantasy of the author's girlhood. The creation of this novel covers almost the author's entire youth, so the plot is inevitably a bit idealistic and a bit cheating.
You may be surprised: ① The original plot has been modified and a new plot has been added; ② It contains an original heroine. The original heroine has only a friendship line with the original character but no emotional line, but there is an emotional line between the original character and the original heroine.

There are two names in Uesugi's life: Fuji Shusuke and Yukimura Seiichi.
One is Xiao Tongran, who has known her since she was a child, and the other is the Son of God who arrived late but is very compatible with her. The story begins on a midsummer day and ends on a snowy night, with twenty years of four seasons in between.
In the midsummer when they were thirteen years old, the three people who were sweating profusely on the tennis court followed the same path for the next twenty years. Together, the three people went from junior high school to the pinnacle of professional tennis, and together they walked from the sunset in Kanagawa to the snowy night in Switzerland.
Uesugi is not good at socializing, but she meets two people on the tennis court who are willing to let her down her guard. Fuji Shusuke's camera contains her silhouette while reading poetry, and beside Yukimura Seiichi's hospital bed is her battle report when she led the team.
They met each other twenty years ago, and there was warmth, laughter, and youthful spirit, as well as disagreements, worries, and inevitable pain. When they were twenty years old, the three of them made phone calls in different time zones with big and small scars. Just hearing their laughter gave them the strength to move forward.
The 21-year-old Ei Uesugi won the Wimbledon championship, the 21-year-old Shusuke Fuji won the French Open championship trophy, and the 21-year-old Seiichi Yukimura won the US Open crown. Three trophies were crowded on a table, just like they walked side by side under the honey-colored sunset of Kanagawa.
The summer of youth is over, so please give me a tomorrow as always.
At least I will think of you for countless summers to come.

I would like to write this book to commemorate my extremely beautiful youth that I cannot look back on.
Concept: the friendship of three people, three fearless souls, fighting against fate.
